信貸協議第4號融資修正案

融資修正案第4號，日期爲2024年10月30日（本“修正案「），日期爲2023年6月12日的信貸協議（在本協議日期之前修訂、重述、修改和重述、補充或以其他方式修改，」信貸協議「經本修正案修正，」修訂後的信貸協議”），由KUEHG Corp.，特拉華州公司（“借款人”），KinderCare Learning Companies，Inc.，特拉華州公司（“初始持股量)，KC Sub，LLC，特拉華州一家有限責任公司(中級控股”）、巴克萊銀行（“巴克萊”），作爲行政代理人（以該身份，包括其任何繼任者，“管理代理”）並作爲貸款文件項下的抵押代理以及不時當事人的銀行和金融機構（“出借人借款人、其他貸款方、每個同意的初始定期貸款出借人(定義見下文)、以「新定期貸款出借人」身份在本合同簽字頁上列出的每個額外出借人(以這種身份出借的每個此類額外出借人，新定期貸款機構總而言之，新定期貸款機構與轉換初始定期貸款的貸款人(定義見下文)一起，修訂第4號貸款人“)，循環貸款人，並得到行政代理的確認。信貸協議或經修訂信貸協議中定義並在此使用的術語應與信貸協議或經修訂信貸協議(視何者適用而定)所賦予的含義相同，除非本協議另有規定。

W I T N E S S E T H:

鑑於，受信貸協議的條款及條件規限，包括第2.17節根據信貸協議，借款人可通過訂立再融資修正案等方式，以再融資定期貸款的形式，從任何貸款人或任何額外貸款人獲得信貸協議對全部或任何部分初始定期貸款(定義見信貸協議)的債務進行再融資；

鑑於，借款人已要求在緊接第4號修正案生效日期(定義見下文)之前未償還的初始定期貸款的每個持有人(該等貸款人、現有定期貸款機構「)提供再融資定期貸款(」2024年再融資定期貸款)金額相等於(或少於)該貸款人在緊接第4號修正案生效日期前所持有的初始定期貸款的未償還本金金額(該等未償還的首次定期貸款，再融資定期貸款“)對再融資定期貸款進行全額再融資(2024年再融資“)，而每間現有定期貸款貸款人已按本協議所附表格實質上交付同意書表現出 (a “同意書以及籤立並交付同意書的每個現有定期貸款貸款人，同意提供初始定期貸款的貸款人“)願意按本協議規定的條款和條件提供2024年再融資定期貸款；

鑑於，每個沒有在下午12：00之前簽署並向管理代理交付同意的現有定期貸款機構。紐約市時間2024年10月24日，被視爲拒絕執行一項再融資修正案，該修正案要求適用類別的所有貸款人以2024年再融資定期貸款的形式提供信貸協議對債務進行再融資(每個此類貸款人，a非同意的初始定期貸款機構以及由該貸款人持有的任何再融資定期貸款，未轉換的初始定期貸款“)，且借款人已通知該等非同意初期貸款貸款人及行政代理，其擬終止每名該等非同意初期貸款貸款人的初期貸款承諾，並償還借款人因該等非同意初期貸款貸款人所承擔的與該貸款人所持有的非轉換初期貸款及參與有關的所有債務，在每種情況下，根據第3.07節信貸協議（“2024年提前還款”);

鑑於，2024年再融資定期貸款的收益將用於營運資金和其他一般企業用途，包括爲2024年再融資和2024年預付款、限制性付款和貸款文件條款未禁止的其他交易提供資金；

鑑於、巴克萊、摩根大通銀行、N.A.(“JPM”）、摩根士丹利高級融資公司(“女士「)，高盛美國銀行(」GS”）、麥格理資本（美國）公司(“麥格理「)、瑞銀證券有限責任公司(」瑞銀集團)、德意志銀行證券公司(DBSI”）和美國銀行證券公司(“美國銀行「並與巴克萊銀行、摩根大通、MS、GS、麥格理、瑞銀、DBSI和美國銀行一起，」修正案第4號聯合首席發行人和賬簿管理人“）已同意擔任2024年再融資定期貸款和本修正案的聯合首席擔保人和簿記管理人，借款人特此承認這一點;

鑑於，依據第2.17節在信貸協議中，僅需要借款人執行的再融資修正案、每項第4號修正案均已確認並經行政代理確認才能生效本修正案;提供行政代理不承認本修正案不應影響本修正案的效力；以及

鑑於借款人還要求修改信貸協議的某些條款，並且每個循環貸款人都已同意；

現在，因此考慮到上述規定，並出於其他良好和有價值的對價，特此確認已收到並充分支付，雙方特此同意如下：

第一條

修正

第1.1條。

對信貸協議的修訂。在滿足下列先決條件的前提下第三條本修正案自第4號修正案生效之日起生效，如附件A所示，對信貸協議進行了修訂，使其中新加入的所有雙下劃線條款(文本上以與以下示例相同的方式表示)：帶雙下劃線的文本)應被視爲已插入，且其中的所有刪除文本(以與以下示例相同的方式在文本中表示)：被刪除的文本）應視爲已從中刪除。

第二條

設立再融資定期貸款

第2.1條。

在符合本協議和經修訂的信貸協議的條款和條件的情況下，(I)在其同意中選擇選項A(同意和轉換)的每個同意的初始定期貸款貸款人(該現有定期貸款貸款人，a轉換初始定期貸款機構“)特此同意本修正案，並同意將所有(或行政代理分配給該轉換初始期限貸款機構的較小本金的初始期限貸款)轉換爲2024年再融資定期貸款(此類轉換後的再融資期限貸款，轉換後的初始定期貸款“)，(Ii)在其同意書中選擇選項b(同意和成交後結算)的每個同意的初始期限貸款貸款人特此同意本修正案，並同意從行政代理機構以新期限貸款貸款人的身份接受2024年再融資定期貸款的轉讓，金額相當於該同意初始期限貸款貸款人在第4號修正案生效日期後不久的所有(或行政代理可能分配給該同意初始期限貸款貸款人的較小的再融資定期貸款本金)，及(Iii)每家新期限貸款機構已同意爲2024年再融資定期貸款提供資金，本金總額相等於該新期限貸款機構名稱旁所載的承諾額附表1在此以「2024年再融資期限」爲標題

貸款承諾“(或借款人和行政代理共同確定的較低本金金額)(每項此類承諾、2024年再融資定期貸款承諾“)。如果任何現有定期貸款貸款人是同意的初始定期貸款貸款人，但根據本款第一句獲得2024年再融資定期貸款的分配，本金總額低於該現有定期貸款機構分配用於轉換爲2024年再融資定期貸款的再融資定期貸款的本金總額，則就如此分配用於轉換的再融資定期貸款與其分配的2024年再融資定期貸款之間的本金差額而言，該現有定期貸款貸款人應被視爲非同意初始期限貸款貸款人，該本金差額應被視爲未轉換的初始定期貸款。

第2.2條。

於第4號修正案生效日期：(I)每名第4號修正案貸款人，個別而非聯名，須按照下列條款向借款人提供2024年再融資定期貸款(或如屬任何轉換爲初始定期貸款的貸款人，則視爲作出)第2.17節通過向行政代理提供立即可用的資金(對於任何轉換的初始定期貸款貸款人，通過將其再融資定期貸款轉換爲2024年再融資定期貸款)，金額等於其2024年再融資定期貸款承諾，來履行信貸協議及其條款和修訂後的信貸協議；(2)借款人應全額償還再融資定期貸款和未轉換的初始期限貸款，方法是指示行政代理機構使用根據上文第(I)款提供給行政代理機構的資金和手頭的任何可用現金，以全額償還再融資的定期貸款和未轉換的初始期限貸款，以及與這些貸款有關的任何應計和未支付的利息和費用。雙方理解並同意：(I)在各轉換初始期限貸款貸款人被視爲發放2024年再融資定期貸款，並向該轉換初始期限貸款貸款人支付與其轉換爲轉換初始期限貸款的再融資定期貸款金額有關的所有應計和未付利息和費用的同時，該轉換初始期限貸款貸款人所持有的再融資定期貸款的該選擇金額應被視爲消滅，(Ii)任何轉換初始期限貸款貸款人將不會收到從2024年再融資定期貸款所得款項向持有再融資定期貸款的其他現有定期貸款機構預付的任何款項，但以該等轉換初始期限貸款貸款人的轉換初始期限貸款爲限。

第2.3條。

2024年再融資定期貸款應符合修訂後的信貸協議和其他貸款文件的規定。

In each case of clauses (a) and (b) above, Holdings and the Borrower shall be entitled to rely upon opinion of counsel with respect to any determination set forth therein and the delivery of such notice in respect of events described in clause (b) shall not be deemed to be an admission by the Borrower that such Material Adverse Effect has occurred.

Each Issuing Bank shall act on behalf of the Revolving Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and each Issuing Bank shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Agents in this Article X with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such Issuing Bank in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the Letter of Credit Documentation pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term 「Agent」 as used in this Article X and the definition of 「Agent-Related Person」 included such Issuing Bank with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to each Issuing Bank.

Exhibit A

(b)

The Administrative Agent shall also irrevocably act as the Collateral Agent (or similar title) under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (including in its capacities as a potential Hedge Bank and/or Cash Management Bank or an affiliate thereof) and each of the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of (and to hold any security interest created by the Collateral Documents for and on behalf of or in trust for) such Lender and such Issuing Bank for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as the Collateral Agent (or similar title) (and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article X (including Section 10.07, as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the 「collateral agent」 under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent to execute any and all documents (including releases) with respect to the Collateral and the rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto (including the Intercreditor Agreements), as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Collateral Documents and acknowledge and agree that any such action by any Agent shall bind the Lenders.

(c)

The Administrative Agent represents to the Borrower that it is a 「U.S. person」 and a 「financial institution」 within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1441-1 and a 「U.S. financial institution」 within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1471-3T and that it will comply with its obligations to withhold under Section 1441 and FATCA.

Section 10.02

Rights as a Lender. Any Lender that is also serving as an Agent (including as Administrative Agent) hereunder shall have the same rights and powers (and no additional duties or obligations) in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent and the term 「Lender」 or 「Lenders」 shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include each Lender (if any) serving as an Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Any Person serving as an Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders, and may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower for services in connection herewith and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, any Agent or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Loan Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that no Agent shall be under any obligation to provide such information to them.

Section 10.03

None of the Administrative Agent, any of the other Agents, any of their respective Affiliates, nor any of the officers, partners, directors, employees or agents of the foregoing shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, an Agent (including the Administrative Agent) or any of their respective officers, partners, directors, employees or agents:

(a)

shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term 「agent」 herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under any agency doctrine of any applicable Law

Exhibit A

and instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties;

(b)

shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that such Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that no Agent shall be required to take any such action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt refraining from any such action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may contravene the terms of the Loan Documents, give rise to lender liabilities, violate the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law;

(c)

shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of their Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by any Person serving as an Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity; and

(d)

shall not be liable to the Lenders for any action taken or omitted to be taken under or in connection with any of the Loan Documents except to the extent caused by such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

The Administrative Agent shall not be liable to the Lenders for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 9.02 and 11.01) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender.

No Agent-Related Person shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any recital, statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report, statement or agreement or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith or referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default (including compliance with the terms and conditions of Section 11.07(h)(iii) or (h)(iv)), (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Collateral Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof.

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability to the Lenders for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not

Exhibit A

(x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender or Participant or prospective Lender or Participant is a Disqualified Lender or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of Loans, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Lender.

Section 10.04

Reliance by the Agents. The Agents shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan or the issuance of a Letter of Credit that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, each Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action that is not required (it being agreed that the actions set forth in Section 10.11(b) are required) or explicitly approved by the Lenders under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

The Agents shall in all cases be fully protected from liability to the Secured Parties in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders; provided that the Agents shall not be required to take any action that, in their opinion or in the opinion of their counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law.

Section 10.05

Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Documents by or through any one or more sub agents appointed by such Agent. Each Agent and any such sub agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Agent-Related Persons. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub agent and to the Agent-Related Persons of the Agents and any such sub agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as the Agents. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to each sub agent appointed by an Agent, (i) such sub agent shall be a third party beneficiary under this Agreement with respect to all such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) and shall have all of the rights and benefits of a third party beneficiary, including an independent right of action to enforce such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) directly, without the consent or joinder of any other Person, against any or all of the Loan Parties and the Lenders, (ii) such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) shall not be modified or amended without the consent of such sub agent, and (iii) such sub agent shall only have obligations to the Agent that appointed it as sub agent and not to any Loan Party, Lender or any other Person and no Loan Party, Lender or any other Person shall have any rights, directly or indirectly, as a third party beneficiary or otherwise, against such sub agent. Each Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable

Exhibit A

judgment that such Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub agents.

Section 10.06

Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders; Disclosure of Information by Agents.

(a)

Each Lender and each Issuing Bank acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank represents to each Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower and the other Loan Parties hereunder. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent, any other Lender or any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by any Agent herein, such Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person.

(b)

Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement or an Assignment and Assumption and funding its Term Loan and/or Revolving Loans on the Closing Date, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be approved by any Agent, Required Lenders or Lenders, as applicable on the Closing Date.

(c)

Each Lender acknowledges that certain Affiliates of the Loan Parties, including the Sponsor or entities controlled by the Sponsor, are Eligible Assignees hereunder and may purchase Loans and/or Commitments hereunder from the Lenders from time to time, subject to the restrictions set forth in the definition of 「Eligible Assignee」 and Section 11.07.

Section 10.07

Indemnification of Agents. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand the Administrative Agent, each Agent, each Issuing Bank, the Swing Line Lender and each other Agent-Related Person (solely to the extent any such Agent-Related Person was performing services on behalf of any Agent or any Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable) (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of any Loan Party and without limiting the obligation of any Loan Party to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, each Agent, each Issuing Bank, the Swing Line Lender and each other Agent-Related Person (solely to the extent any such Agent-Related Person was performing services on behalf of any Agent or each Issuing Bank, or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable) from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting from such Agent-Related Person’s own gross negligence or willful

Exhibit A

misconduct, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that, to the extent each Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender is entitled to indemnification under this Section 10.07 solely in its capacity and role as an Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender, only the Revolving Lenders shall be required to indemnify the applicable Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender in accordance with this Section 10.07 (determined as of the time that the applicable payment is sought based on each Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof at such time); provided, further, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be required by the Loan Documents) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 10.07. If any indemnity furnished to any Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent, such Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender be insufficient or become impaired, such Agent or such Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender, may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished; provided, in no event shall this sentence require any Lender to indemnify any Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender against any Indemnified Liabilities in excess of such Lender’s pro rata share thereof; and provided further, this sentence shall not be deemed to require any Lender to indemnify any Agent or any Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender against any Indemnified Liabilities described in the first proviso in the immediately preceding sentence. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Liabilities, this Section 10.07 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse each Agent and each Issuing Bank and the Swing Line Lender, upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by such Agent or such Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender, in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that such Agent or such Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender, is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided that such reimbursement by the Lenders shall not affect the Borrower’s continuing reimbursement obligations with respect thereto; provided, further, that the failure of any Lender to indemnify or reimburse such Agent or such Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation in respect thereof. The undertaking in this Section 10.07 shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, the payment of all other Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, other Agents and any Issuing Bank.

Section 10.08

Each Agent hereby agrees to act in its capacity as such upon the express conditions contained herein and the other Loan Documents, as applicable. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Lead Arrangers or the other Agents listed on the cover page hereof (or any of their respective Affiliates) shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or a Lender hereunder and such Persons shall have the benefit of this Article X. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders or other Persons so identified shall have or be deemed to have any agency or fiduciary or trust relationship with any Lender, Holdings, the Borrower, or any of their respective Subsidiaries. Each

Exhibit A

Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders or other Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder. Any Agent may resign from such role at any time, with immediate effect, by giving prior written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and Borrower.

Section 10.09

Resignation of Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent. The Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, subject to the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), at all times other than during the existence of a Specified Event of Default, to appoint a successor, which shall be a Lender or a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such Lender or bank with an office in the United States and who is a 「U.S. person」 and a 「financial institution」 within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(ii). If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, meeting the qualifications set forth above (including the consent of the Borrower); provided that if the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor of such Agent is appointed) and (b) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or retired Administrative Agents, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. If neither the Required Lenders nor the Administrative Agent have appointed a successor Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall be deemed to have succeeded to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent (subject to the proviso in the sentence above). Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, hereunder and upon the execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such amendments or supplements to the Mortgages, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Required Lenders may request, in order to perfect or continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the Collateral Documents, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable (other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or retired Administrative Agent), and the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Sections 10.07, 11.04 and 11.05 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Agent-Related Persons in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable.

Section 10.10

Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim; Credit Bidding. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative

Exhibit A

to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or in respect of Letter of Credit Obligations shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated), by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a)

to file a verified statement pursuant to rule 2019 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure that, in its sole opinion, complies with such rule’s disclosure requirements for entities representing more than one creditor;

(b)

to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.11 and 11.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(c)

to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and each Issuing Bank to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agents and their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.11 and 11.04. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.11 and 11.04 out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Lenders or the Issuing Banks may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or any Issuing Bank any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or any Issuing Bank or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or any Issuing Bank in any such proceeding.

The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (i) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, or any similar Laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject and (ii) at any other sale or foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any

Exhibit A

applicable Law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that would vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) in the asset or assets so purchased (or in the Equity Interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are used to consummate such purchase). In connection with any such bid (A) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles to make a bid, (B) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or Equity Interests thereof shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by the vote of the Required Lenders, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in clauses (a) through (i) of Section 11.01 of this Agreement), (C) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to assign the relevant Obligations to any such acquisition vehicle pro rata by the Lenders, as a result of which each of the Lenders shall be deemed to have received a pro rata portion of any Equity Interests and/or debt instruments issued by such an acquisition vehicle on account of the assignment of the Obligations to be credit bid, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action and (D) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of debt credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Lenders pro rata and the Equity Interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of the Obligations that had been assigned to the acquisition vehicle shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action.

Each of the Lenders (including in its capacities as a potential Cash Management Bank and a potential Hedge Bank or an Affiliate thereof) and each Issuing Bank irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to be the agent for and representative of the Lenders and Issuing Bank with respect to the Guaranty, the Collateral and the Collateral Documents.

(b)

Each Agent, each Lender and each other Secured Party agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document:

(i)

Liens on any property granted to or held by an Agent or in favor of any Secured Party under any Loan Document will be automatically released or subordinated, as applicable, without further action from any Person (and as applicable, this provision constitutes the express authorization from the Secured Parties of the disposition of such property free of such Lien under Section 9-315 of the UCC (or similar provisions under applicable Laws)),

(A)

upon satisfaction of the Termination Conditions;

(B)

at the time the property subject to such Lien is transferred (or to be transferred) as part of, or in connection with, any transfer permitted under the Loan Documents to any Person that is not a Loan Party,

(C)

if the property subject to such Lien is owned by a Guarantor, upon release of such Guarantor from its obligations under its Guaranty pursuant to clause (ii) below;

(D)

subject to Section 11.01 in respect of releases of all or substantially all of

Exhibit A

the Collateral, if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders;

(E)

upon such property becoming an Excluded Asset or Excluded Equity Interest;

(F)

upon any property becoming subject to a Securitization Financing or Receivables Financing Transaction to the extent required by the terms of such Securitization Financing or Receivables Financing Transaction; and/or

(G)

upon delivery of written notice by the Borrower, if the property is subject to a Lien that is permitted under (i) Section 7.01(c), (e), (l), (m)(i), (n), (q) or (o) or (ii) Section 7.01(u), (v) or (x), to the extent such Lien is of the type referred to or constitutes a modification, renewal or extension of any Lien described in clause (i).

(ii)

Any Subsidiary Guarantor will be automatically released without further action from any Person if such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary (in each case, as certified in writing by a Responsible Officer), except that such automatic release shall only occur upon delivery of written notice of release from the Borrower with respect to any Excluded Subsidiary that is added as a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to the proviso to the definition of 「Excluded Subsidiary」 (including any Immaterial Subsidiary or non-wholly owned Subsidiary that is added as a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to such proviso); provided that no Subsidiary Guarantor will be released solely as a result of such Subsidiary Guarantor ceasing to be a wholly owned Subsidiary unless one of the following conditions is satisfied: (I) (a) such transaction is entered into for a bona fide business purpose (as determined in good faith by the Borrower) and, for the avoidance of doubt, not the primary purpose of causing such release and (b) the portion of Equity Interests that caused such Guarantor to cease to be wholly owned were not transferred to an Affiliate of the Borrower (other than for purposes of a bona fide joint venture arrangement on terms that are not less favorable than arms-length terms), (II) such Person ceases to constitute a 「Subsidiary」 under the Loan Documents or (III) such Person otherwise constitutes an Excluded Subsidiary (other than solely on account of constituting a non-wholly owned Subsidiary), and

(iii)

upon request of the Borrower in connection with any Liens permitted by the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Secured Party) take such actions as shall be required to subordinate the Lien on any Collateral to any Lien permitted under Section 7.01 to be senior to the Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent.

Each Agent, each Lender and each other Secured Party agrees that upon written request from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall promptly take such action and execute any such documents as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower, including filing UCC termination statements, filing Intellectual Property releases, returning possession of possessory Collateral, and executing and filing other instruments, releases and documents evidencing the release of such Liens or Guarantors, as applicable, at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense, in connection with any of the foregoing releases (or, if requested by the Borrower, to confirm the subordination in writing its Lien pursuant to clause (b)(i)(G) above). Each of the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to and shall rely exclusively on an officer’s certificate of the Borrower that one or more conditions set forth in clause (b)(i) or (b)(ii) above are satisfied, without any independent verification. Each Lender and each Secured Party irrevocably authorizes and irrevocably directs the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent to take such actions and execute any such documents and consents to such reliance. Notwithstanding anything

Exhibit A

set forth above, it is understood and agreed that such written release is customarily requested for the convenience of facilitating any transfer of property to a third-party purchaser or for similar reasons but such written release shall not be required for any such release to become effective (which release is governed by clauses (b)(i) and (b)(ii) above) and any prior requests from the Borrower for such written release shall not impose on the Borrower an obligation to seek such releases in future transactions. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon, or contained in any certificate prepared or delivered by the Borrower or any Loan Party in connection with the Collateral or compliance with the terms set forth above or in a Loan Document, nor shall the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

Section 10.12

(a)

It is the purpose of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that there shall be no violation of any Law of any jurisdiction denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact business as agent or trustee in such jurisdiction.

Exhibit A

any present or future Law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the rights, powers or remedies granted herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or take any other action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to appoint an additional individual or institution selected by the Administrative Agent in its sole and absolute discretion as a separate trustee, co-trustee, administrative agent, collateral agent, administrative sub-agent or administrative co-agent (any such additional individual or institution being referred to herein individually, as a “Supplemental Administrative Agent” and, collectively, as “Supplemental Administrative Agents”).

(b)

In the event that the Administrative Agent appoints a Supplemental Administrative Agent with respect to any Collateral, (i) each and every right, power, privilege or duty expressed or intended by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the Administrative Agent with respect to such Collateral shall be exercisable by and vest in such Supplemental Administrative Agent to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to enable such Supplemental Administrative Agent to exercise such rights, powers and privileges with respect to such Collateral and to perform such duties with respect to such Collateral, and every covenant and obligation contained in the Loan Documents and necessary to the exercise or performance thereof by such Supplemental Administrative Agent shall run to and be enforceable by either the Administrative Agent or such Supplemental Administrative Agent, and (ii) the provisions of this Article X and of Sections 11.04 and 11.05 that refer to the Administrative Agent shall inure to the benefit of such Supplemental Administrative Agent and all references therein to the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be references to the Administrative Agent and/or such Supplemental Administrative Agent, as the context may require.

(c)

Should any instrument in writing from any Loan Party be required by any Supplemental Administrative Agent so appointed by the Administrative Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it such rights, powers, privileges and duties, the Borrower or Holdings, as applicable, shall, or shall cause such Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by the Administrative Agent. In case any Supplemental Administrative Agent, or a successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Supplemental Administrative Agent, to the extent permitted by Law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Administrative Agent until the appointment of a new Supplemental Administrative Agent.

Section 10.14

(a)

Each Lender (i) understands, acknowledges and agrees that Liens may be created on the Collateral pursuant to the definitive documents governing such Indebtedness, which liens shall be subject to the terms and conditions of any Intercreditor Agreement, (ii) hereby agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of any Intercreditor Agreement and (iii) hereby authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent to enter into any Intercreditor Agreement (and any amendments, amendments and restatements, restatements or waivers of or supplements to or other modifications to, such agreements in connection with the incurrence by any Loan Party of any permitted Pari Passu Lien Debt or Junior Lien Debt or any Permitted Refinancing of the foregoing, in order to permit such Indebtedness to be secured by a valid, perfected lien (with such priority as may be designated by the Borrower or relevant Subsidiary, to the extent such priority is permitted by the Loan Documents)), and to subject the Liens on the Collateral securing the Obligations to the provisions thereof.

(b)

Exhibit A

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article X to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Cash Management Obligations or Obligations arising under Secured Hedge Agreements unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Cash Management Obligations or such Obligations arising under Secured Hedge Agreements, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank or Hedge Bank, as the case may be.

Section 10.16

Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by any applicable Law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax (for the avoidance of doubt, including backup withholding). If any Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective or for any other reason, or if the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that a payment was made to a Lender pursuant to this Agreement without deduction of applicable withholding tax from such payment, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred.

In connection with (x) the solicitation of any amendment, waiver or consent from the Lenders (or a sub-group thereof) or (y) determining whether Lenders constituting Required Lenders have (A) rejected any request requiring confirmation pursuant to Section 11.01(e) above or (B) directed the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to deliver a notice of Default or Event of Default, exercise any right or remedy of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder or otherwise act pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, each Lender (other than a regulated commercial bank (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, any of its non-regulated business or any of its Funds) or any Revolving Lender on the Closing Date), (1) in the case of clause (x) above to the extent the applicable amendment, waiver or consent is not approved by the requisite Lenders required hereunder, that is not a consenting Lender (as a result of either abstaining from the vote or affirmatively objecting the request) shall, within 3 Business Days after receiving notice in writing from the Borrower that the vote has not been approved, deliver to the Administrative Agent in writing a representation that, as of the date of such Net Short Representation, either (A) it is Net Short or (B) it cannot reasonably ascertain whether it is Net Short after making due inquiry but it agrees that its Loans and/or Commitments shall be treated as not being outstanding for the specific matter giving rise to such requirement of confirming Net Short status (a “Net Short Representation”), or either (I) shall make as of the date of such Net Long Representation or (II) shall otherwise be deemed to have made as of the date of such notice, in all other cases, a representation to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is not Net Short (a “Net Long Representation”; such Net Long Representation or a Net Short Representation, a “Position Representation”) and (2) in the case of clause (y) above, that is a Lender objecting the confirmation in the case of clause (y)(A) above or a Lender making a direction to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in the case of clause (y)(B) above, shall, concurrently with the delivery of such objection or direction, as applicable, deliver to the Administrative Agent a Net Long Representation, which representation, in the case of a direction described in clause (y)(B) above, shall be deemed repeated at all times until the resulting Default or Event of Default is cured or otherwise ceases to exist or until the Loans and/or the Commitments are validly accelerated pursuant to Section 9.02.

The Borrower and the Administrative Agent may establish such procedures as may be necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of the foregoing.

(ii)

In the case of clause (i)(x) above, the Loans and/or Commitments held by any Lender who has given a Net Short Representation shall be treated as not being outstanding for

Exhibit A

the purpose of determining the necessary consents from Lenders (or a subgroup thereof) in respect of the relevant matter. In the case of clause (i)(y) above, the Loans and/or Commitments held by any Lender that is Net Short shall be treated as not having rejected such request requiring confirmation or voted for such direction to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent.

(iii)

Any Lender who (x) has made a Net Short Representation (other than a Net Short Representation described in clause (B) of the definition thereof) or (y) who was Net Short but who made and was deemed to have made a Net Long Representation at the time such representation was required to be made shall, in each case, be treated as a Disqualified Lender for all purposes of the Loan Documents.

(iv)

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability to the Borrower or any other party hereto for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions of this Section 11.01(i) or the determination of whether a Lender is Net Short.

(j)

Consent Process. The Borrower and/or the Administrative Agent may solicit the consents required pursuant to the terms above from any or all of the Lenders with the applicable consent right or confirmations pursuant to Section 11.01(e) above; provided that no consent fee or other benefit under the Loan Documents accruing to solely to any consenting Lender shall be provided unless all Lenders have been given the opportunity to provide the applicable consent in exchange for such fee or other benefit. Any amendment or waiver to any Loan Document or any consent to departure by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary from compliance with any provision in the Loan Document received pursuant to the provisions above or pursuant to any other provision of any Loan Document shall be evidenced in writing and signed by the Borrower (and/or any other Loan Party, as the case may be) and the Persons specified above or elsewhere in any Loan Document whose consent is required for such amendment, waiver or consent (or by the Administrative Agent with the written consent of such Persons). The confirmations pursuant to Section 11.01(e) above shall be deemed to be effective upon the expiration of the relevant deadline unless Lenders constituting Required Lenders have rejected such request. To the extent the Administrative Agent is not a party to any amendment, an executed copy thereof shall be promptly delivered to the Administrative Agent; provided that failure to deliver such copy to the Administrative Agent shall not impact the effectiveness of such amendment.

(d)

any actual or alleged release of, or exposure to, any Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, or any Environmental Claim or Environmental Liability arising out of the activities or operations of or otherwise related to the Borrower or any other Loan Party, or

(e)

any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”);

provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses resulted from (i) as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final-non-appealable judgment, (A) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or of any Related Indemnified Person of such Indemnitee, or (B) a material breach of any obligations of such Indemnitee or any Related Indemnified Person of such Indemnitee under any Loan Document and (ii) any dispute solely among Indemnitees or of any Related Indemnified Person of such Indemnitee other than any claims against an Indemnitee in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, an Issuing Bank, a Swing Line Lender or a Lead Arranger (or other Agent role) under the Facility and other than any claims arising out of any act or omission of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates. To the extent that the undertakings to indemnify and hold harmless set forth in this Section 11.05 may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative of any applicable law or public policy, the Borrower shall contribute the maximum portion that they are permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through electronic telecommunications or other information transmission systems, except to the extent resulting from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of such Indemnitee or any Related Indemnified Person (as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction), nor shall any Indemnitee or any Loan Party have any liability for any special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date); provided, this sentence shall not limit the Borrower’s indemnification or reimbursement obligations set forth herein to the extent such special, indirect, punitive or consequential damages are included in any third party claim in connection with which such Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 11.05 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation,

Exhibit A

litigation or proceeding is brought by any Loan Party, its directors, stockholders or creditors or an Indemnitee or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents is consummated. All amounts due under this Section 11.05 (after the determination of a court of competent jurisdiction, if required pursuant to the terms of this Section 11.05) shall be paid within 20 Business Days after written demand therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Indemnitee shall be obligated to refund and return promptly any and all amounts paid by the Borrower or any of its affiliates under this Section 11.05 to such Indemnitee for any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to the extent such Indemnitee is not entitled to payment of such amounts in accordance with the terms hereof as finally determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, and, to the extent not a party hereto, the agreement of an Indemnitee to this provision is a condition to the indemnity provided herein. The agreements in this Section 11.05 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Swing Line Lender or any Issuing Bank, replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations. This Section 11.05 shall not apply to Taxes, except it shall apply to any taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from a non-tax claim. The Borrower will not be liable for any settlement of any action effected without its prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed (it being agreed that consent withheld for failure of any of the conditions in the immediately succeeding sentence to be true is reasonable)), but, if settled with the Borrower’s written consent or if there is a final judgment in any such actions, the Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses by reason of such settlement or judgment in accordance with this Section 11.05. The Borrower will not, without the prior written consent of an Indemnitee (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed (it being agreed that consent withheld for failure of any of the conditions in the immediately succeeding clauses (i) and (ii) to be true is reasonable)), effect any settlement of any action in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnitee unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnitee from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such actions and (ii) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of such Indemnitee.

Section 11.06

Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. None of the Administrative Agent, any Supplemental Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Collateral Agent or any Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the Loan Parties or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to any Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank (or to the Administrative Agent or any Supplemental Administrative Agent, on behalf of any Lender or any Issuing Bank), or any Agent or any Lender enforces any security interests or exercises its right of setoff, and such payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred and (b) each Lender and each Issuing Bank severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.

Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, including all or a portion of its Commitment and Loans (including for purposes of this Section 11.07(b), participations in Letters of Credit and in Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it; provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i)

Minimum Amounts.

(A)

in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Term Loans of any Class at the time held by it, in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Revolving Commitment and Revolving Loans at the time held by it or in the case of an assignment by a Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund of such Lender, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B)

with respect to any assignment not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, such assignment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of not less than (1) with respect to the assigning Lender’s Term Loans, $1,000,000 and (2) with respect to the assigning Lender’s Revolving Commitment and Revolving Loans, $5,000,000, unless in each case of clauses (1) and (2) each of the Administrative Agent, and so long as no Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, the Borrower otherwise consents (in each case, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(ii)

Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment of Term Loans shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under

Exhibit A

this Agreement with respect to the Term Loans assigned, and each partial assignment of Revolving Commitments and/or Revolving Loans shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Revolving Commitments and/or Revolving Loans being assigned; provided that this clause (ii) shall not (x) apply to the Swing Line Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of Swing Line Loans or (y) prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Facilities on a non-pro rata basis.

(iii)

Required Consents. With respect to each such assignment:

(A)

the consent of the Borrower (such consent (x) with respect to the Term Loans, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that it shall not be unreasonable for the Borrower to withhold consent for any assignment of Term Loans with respect to any person (including any person that manages or advises funds) that invests (directly or indirectly, including through Affiliates) in distressed debt, 「special situations」 or 「opportunities」 or that is not a Disqualified Lender but is known by the Borrower to be an Affiliate of a Disqualified Lender regardless of whether such person is identifiable as an Affiliate of a Disqualified Lender on the basis of such Affiliate’s name or otherwise and (y) with respect to the Revolving Commitments, in its sole and absolute discretion) shall be required unless (1) a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is made (a) with respect to Term Loans, to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund and (b) with respect to Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans, to a Revolving Lender, an Affiliate of the assigning Revolving Lender or an Approved Fund (in the case of such Affiliate or Approved Fund, unless such Person does not have similar creditworthiness as the assigning Revolving Lender); provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any assignment of Term Loans if the Borrower does not respond within 10 Business Days of a written request for its consent with respect to such assignment (for the avoidance of doubt, such deemed consent shall not in any event permit the assignment to a Disqualified Lender or natural person); provided, further, that the Borrower shall have the sole and absolute discretion to decline any assignment if the assignee is known to the Borrower as a Disqualified Lender or an Affiliate of a Disqualified Lender (other than any Affiliates constituting bona fide debt fund affiliates referred to in the parenthetical in clause (c) of the definition of Disqualified Lender), whether or not such assignee is identifiable by name;

(B)

the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund; provided, however, that the consent of the Administrative Agent shall not be required for any assignment to an Affiliated Lender or a Person that upon effectiveness of an assignment would be an Affiliated Lender, except for the separate consent rights of the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (h)(v) of this Section 11.07;

(C)

with respect to assignments of Revolving Loans and/or Revolving Commitments, the consent of each Issuing Bank (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) shall be required; and

(D)

with respect to assignments of Revolving Loans and/or Revolving Commitments, the consent of the Swing Line Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required.

Exhibit A

(iv)

Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. Any assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and any tax forms required under Section 3.01(b), (c), (d) and (e), as applicable. Upon receipt of the processing and recordation fee and any written consent to assignment required by Section 11.07(b)(iii), the Administrative Agent shall promptly accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register.

(v)

No Assignments to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made,

(A)

to Holdings, the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries except as permitted under Section 2.07(a)(iv) or under subsection (l) below,

(B)

subject to subsection (h) below, any of the Borrower’s Affiliates (other than Holdings or any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries and other than Affiliated Debt Funds),

(C)

to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing persons described in this clause,

(D)

to a natural person, or

(E)

to a Disqualified Lender.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if any Loans or Commitments are assigned or participated (x) to a Disqualified Lender, (y) without complying with the Borrower consent or notice requirements of this Section 11.07 or (z) to an Affiliate of a Disqualified Lender, whether or not such Affiliate is identifiable based on its name, then: (a) the Borrower may (i) terminate any Commitment of such Person and prepay any applicable outstanding Loans at a price equal to the lesser of (x) the current trading price of the Loans, (y) par and (z) the amount such Person paid to acquire such Loans or Commitments, in each case, without premium, penalty, prepayment fee or breakage, and/or (ii) require such person to assign its rights and obligations to one or more Eligible Assignees at the price indicated above (which assignment shall not be subject to any processing and recordation fee) and if such person does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly executed Assignment and Assumption reflecting such assignment within 3 Business Days of the date on which the assignee Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Assumption to such person, then such person shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption without any action on its part, (b) no such Person shall receive any information or reporting provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (c) for purposes of voting, any Loans or Commitments held by such person shall be deemed not to be outstanding, and such person shall have no voting or consent rights with respect to 「Required Lenders」 or Class votes or consents, (d) for purposes of any matter requiring the vote or consent of each Lender affected by any amendment or waiver, such person shall be deemed to have voted or consented to approve such amendment or waiver if a majority of the affected Class (giving effect to clause (c) above) so approves, and (e) such person shall not be entitled to any expense reimbursement or indemnification rights under any Loan Documents (including Sections 11.04 and 11.05) and the Borrower expressly reserves all rights against such person under contract, tort or any other theory and shall be treated in all other respects as a Defaulting Lender; it being understood and agreed that the foregoing provisions shall not apply to any assignee of a

Exhibit A

Disqualified Lender that becomes a Lender so long as such assignee is not a Disqualified Lender or an Affiliate thereof.

(vi)

Defaulting Lenders Assignments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable Pro Rata Share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (A) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Swing Line Lender and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (B) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full Pro Rata Share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (c) of this Section (and, in the case of an Affiliated Lender or a Person that, after giving effect to such assignment, would become an Affiliated Lender, subject to the requirements of clause (h) of this Section), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement (except in the case of an assignment to or purchase by Holdings, the Borrower or any of Holdings’ Subsidiaries) and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption and as permitted by this Section 11.07, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, 11.04 and 11.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment); provided that anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, each Issuing Bank shall continue to have all rights and obligations with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it until the cancellation or expiration of such Letters of Credit with no pending drawing and the reimbursement of any amounts drawn thereunder. Upon request, and the surrender by the assigning Lender of its applicable Notes, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.

(c)

Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts and stated interest of the Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations (specifying the Reimbursement Obligations), Letter of Credit Borrowings and other amounts due under Section 2.04 owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agents and the

Exhibit A

Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by Affiliates of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the Issuing Banks, the Swing Line Lender or any other Lender (but only, in the case of a Lender, with respect to any entry relating to such Lender’s Commitments, Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations and other Obligations) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. This Section 11.07(c) and Section 2.13 shall be construed so that all Loans are at all times maintained in 「registered form」 within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related Treasury regulations (or any other relevant or successor provisions of the Code or of such Treasury regulations).

(d)

Participations. Any Lender may at any time, (x) with respect to the Term Loans, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender, the Issuing Banks or any other Person and (y) with respect to the Revolving Commitments, subject to prior written notice, and disclosure of the identity thereof, to the Borrower, sell participations to any Person (other than in each case of clauses (x) and (y), a natural person or a Disqualified Lender) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in Letters of Credit and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in Section 11.01(b) (other than clause (iv)) that directly and adversely affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01 (subject to the requirements of Section 3.01, as applicable (it being understood that the documentation required under such Sections shall be delivered to the participating Lender)), 3.04 and 3.05 (through the applicable Lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.09 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.15 as though it were a Lender.

(e)

Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Each Lender that sells a participation or has a loan funded by an SPC shall (acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower) maintain a register complying with the requirements of Sections 163(f), 871(h) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and the Treasury regulations (or any other relevant or successor provisions of the Code or of such Treasury regulations) issued thereunder relating to the exemption from withholding for portfolio interest on which is entered the name and address of each Participant or SPC and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s or SPC’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to access or maintain any Lender’s Participant Register. A Lender shall not be obligated to disclose the Participant Register to any Person except to the extent such disclosure is necessary to establish that (i) any Loan or other obligation is in registered form under the Code and Treasury regulations, including, without limitation United States Treasury Regulations Section 5f.103-1(c) and United States Proposed Treasury Regulations Section 1.163-5(b) (or any amended

Exhibit A

or successor version) or (ii) the participations are not made to a natural person or a Disqualified Lender. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(f)

Liens on Loans. Any Lender may, at any time without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Notes, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(g)

Special Purpose Funding Vehicles. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an “SPC”) the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan, (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof and (iii) any grant to an SPC shall be recorded in the Participant Register. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (A) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05), (B) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and (C) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the lender of record hereunder. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior debt of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, or liquidation proceeding under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (1) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee of $3,500 (which processing fee may be waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole and absolute discretion), assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Loan to the Granting Lender and (2) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or Guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

(h)

Affiliated Lenders. Any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to Loans and Commitments under this Agreement to a Person who is or will become, after such assignment, an Affiliated Lender through (i) Dutch auctions open to all Lenders in accordance with the procedures set forth on Exhibit M or (ii) open market purchase on a non-pro rata basis, in each case subject to the following provisions:

(i)

such Affiliated Lenders (A) will not receive information provided solely to Lenders by the Administrative Agent or any Lender except to the extent such materials are made available to the Borrower and will not be permitted to attend or participate in conference calls or meetings attended solely by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, other than the right to receive notices of prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Term Loans or

Exhibit A

Commitments required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to Article II, (B) will not receive the advice of counsel provided solely to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, and (C) may not challenge the attorney-client privilege between the Administrative Agent and counsel to the Administrative Agent or between the Lenders and counsel to the Lenders;

(ii)

the Assignment and Assumption will require the Affiliated Lender to clearly identify itself as an Affiliated Lender and shall contain customary 「big boy」 representations but there shall be no requirement on the Affiliated Lender to make a representation that it has no material non-public information with respect to the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(iii)

(A) the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans held by all Affiliated Lenders shall not exceed 30% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Term Loans at the time of purchase or assignment (such percentage, the “Affiliated Lender Term Loan Cap”), (B) unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Required Facility Lenders, regardless of whether consented to by the Administrative Agent or otherwise, no assignment which would result in Affiliated Lenders holding Term Loans with an aggregate principal amount in excess of the Affiliated Lender Term Loan Cap, shall in either case be effective with respect to such excess amount of the Term Loans; provided that each of the parties hereto agrees and acknowledges that the Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever incurred or suffered by any Person in connection with any compliance or non-compliance with this clause (h)(iii) or any purported assignment exceeding the Affiliated Lender Term Loan Cap limitation or for any assignment being deemed null and void hereunder and (C) in the event of an acquisition pursuant to the last sentence of this clause (h) which would result in the Affiliated Lender Term Loan Cap being exceeded such assignee Lender shall be required immediately (and in any event within 5 Business Days) to assign Loans then owed by such Lender to an Eligible Assignee that is not an Affiliated Lender such that immediately after giving effect to such assignment, the Affiliated Lender Term Loan Cap is not exceeded;

(iv)

the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Commitments held by all Affiliated Lenders shall not exceed 30% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Commitments at the time of purchase or assignment (such percentage, the “Affiliated Lender Revolving Cap”); and

(v)

as a condition to each assignment pursuant to this clause (h), (A) the Administrative Agent shall have been provided a notice in the form of Exhibit D-2 to this Agreement in connection with each assignment to an Affiliated Lender or a Person that upon effectiveness of such assignment would constitute an Affiliated Lender, and (without limitation of the provisions of clause (iii) above) shall be under no obligation to record such assignment in the Register until 3 Business Days after receipt of such notice and (B) the Administrative Agent shall have consented to such assignment (which consent shall not be withheld unless the Administrative Agent reasonably believes that such assignment would violate clause (h)(iii) of this Section 11.07).

(i)

Voting Limitations. Notwithstanding anything in Section 11.01 or the definition of 「Required Lenders」 to the contrary:

(i)

for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders have (A) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, or subject to Section 11.07(j), any plan of reorganization pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, (B) otherwise

Exhibit A

acted on any matter related to any Loan Document, or (C) directed or required the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, in each case, that does not require the consent of a specific Lender, each Lender or each affected Lender, or does not affect such Affiliated Lender in a disproportionately adverse manner as compared to other Lenders holding similar obligations, Affiliated Lenders will be deemed to have voted in the same proportion as non-affiliated Lenders voting on such matters; and

(ii)

Affiliated Debt Funds shall not be subject to the limitation set forth above; provided that notwithstanding anything in Section 11.01 or the definition of 「Required Lenders」 to the contrary, for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders have (i) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, (ii) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document or (iii) directed or required the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, all Term Loans, Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans held by Affiliated Debt Funds, in the aggregate, may not account for more than 49.9% of the Term Loans, Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans of Lenders included in determining whether the Required Lenders have consented to any action pursuant to Section 11.01.

(j)

Insolvency Proceedings. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, each Affiliated Lender hereby agrees that, if a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law shall be commenced by or against the Borrower or any Loan Party at a time when such Lender is an Affiliated Lender, such Affiliated Lender irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Administrative Agent to vote on behalf of such Affiliated Lender with respect to the Loans and/or Commitments held by such Affiliated Lender in any manner in the Administrative Agent’s sole and absolute discretion, unless the Administrative Agent instructs such Affiliated Lender to vote, in which case such Affiliated Lender shall vote with respect to the Loans held by it as the Administrative Agent directs; provided that such Affiliated Lender shall be entitled to vote in accordance with its sole and absolute discretion (and not in accordance with the direction of the Administrative Agent) in connection with any plan of reorganization to the extent any such plan of reorganization proposes to treat any Obligations held by such Affiliated Lender in a manner that is less favorable in any respect to such Affiliated Lender than the proposed treatment of similar Obligations held by Lenders that are not Affiliates of the Borrower.

(k)

[Reserved]

(l)

Assignments to Borrower, etc.

(i)

Any Lender may, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to the Term Loans and/or the Term Loan Commitments under this Agreement to Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries through (i) Dutch auctions open to all Lenders in accordance with the procedures set forth on Exhibit M or (ii) open market purchase on a non-pro rata basis, in each case subject to the following limitations, but in each case, without the consent of the Administrative Agent:

(A)

if the assignee is Holdings or a Subsidiary of the Borrower, upon such assignment, transfer or contribution, the applicable assignee shall automatically be deemed to have contributed or transferred the principal amount of such Term Loans and the Term Loan Commitments, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to the Borrower; and

Exhibit A

(B)

if the assignee is the Borrower (including through contribution or transfers set forth in clause (A) above), (1) the principal amount of such Term Loans, along with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, so contributed, assigned or transferred to the Borrower shall be deemed automatically cancelled and extinguished on the date of such contribution, assignment or transfer, (2) all Term Loan Commitments shall be automatically terminated and (3) the Borrower shall promptly provide notice to the Administrative Agent of such contribution, assignment or transfer of such Term Loans and Term Loan Commitments, and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notice, shall reflect the cancellation of the applicable Term Loans and the termination of the Term Loan Commitments in the Register.

(ii)

Any Affiliated Lender may, in its discretion (but is not required to), assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to the Term Loans and the Term Loan Commitments under this Agreement to Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries without the consent of the Administrative Agent (regardless of whether any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom), on a non-pro rata basis, for purposes of cancelling such Term Loans or Term Loan Commitments, which may include contribution (with the consent of the Borrower) to the Borrower (whether through any of its direct or indirect parent entities or otherwise) in exchange for (A) debt on a dollar for dollar basis or (B) Equity Interests of the Borrower (or any of its direct or indirect parent entities) that are otherwise permitted to be incurred or issued by the Borrower (or such direct or indirect parent entity) at such time.

to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than by reason of disclosure in breach of this Section 11.08 by any of the Administrative Agent, any Supplemental Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lead Arrangers, the Issuing Banks or the Lenders, (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lead Arranger, any Lender, any Issuing Bank, or any of their respective Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof, and which source is not known by such Person to be subject to a confidentiality restriction in respect thereof in favor of the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower or (iii) is independently developed by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lead Arranger, any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any of their respective Affiliates without reliance on any other confidential information.

In addition, each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lead Arrangers, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and customary information about this Agreement to the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Loans, and to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lead Arrangers, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

For purposes of this Section 11.08, “Information” means all information received from or on behalf of any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof or the Sponsor relating to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof or their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof or the Sponsor; it being understood that all information received from Holdings, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or the Sponsor after the Closing Date shall be deemed confidential unless such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as not being confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so in accordance with its customary procedures if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lead Arrangers and the Lenders acknowledges that (A) the Information may include Private-Side Information concerning Holdings, the Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (B) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of Private-Side Information and (C) it will handle such Private-Side Information in accordance with applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws.

Exhibit A

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary therein, nothing in any Loan Document shall require Holdings, the Borrower or any of their subsidiaries to provide information (i) that constitutes non-financial trade secrets or non-financial proprietary information, (ii) in respect of which disclosure is prohibited by applicable Law, (iii) that is subject to attorney client or similar privilege or constitutes attorney work product or (iv) the disclosure of which is restricted by binding agreements not entered into primarily for the purpose of qualifying for the exclusion in this clause (iv).

Each Lender acknowledges that improper disclosure of Information may irreparably harm the Borrower and its Affiliates. Because money damages may not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement, the Borrower shall be entitled to seek and obtain specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief on an emergency, temporary, preliminary and/or permanent basis, as a remedy for any such breach or threatened breach, without first being required to demonstrate actual damages or post any security or bond. Such remedy shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedy for breach of this Agreement, but shall be in addition to all other legal, equitable or contractual remedies that the Borrower may have.

Section 11.09

Set-off. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each Issuing Bank is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, after obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, without notice to any Loan Party or to any other Person (other than the Administrative Agent), any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or such Issuing Bank or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, the Letters of Credit and participations therein, irrespective of whether or not (a) such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (b) the principal of or the interest on the Loans or any amounts in respect of the Letters of Credit or any other amounts due hereunder shall have become due and payable pursuant to Article II and although such obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or such Issuing Bank different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (i) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2.15 and 2.20 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, and the Lenders, and (ii) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender and each Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender or such Issuing Bank or Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such set-off and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

Section 11.10

Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents with respect to any of the Obligations, shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If any Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by an Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee,

Exhibit A

or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder. If the rate of interest under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Maximum Rate, the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder shall bear interest at the Maximum Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect.

Section 11.11

Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any and all other agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof or thereof. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other electronic imaging (including in .pdf or .tif format) means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 11.12

Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents. The words 「execution,」「signed,」「signature,」 and words of like import in this Agreement, in any Assignment and Assumption or in any amendment or other modification hereof (including waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

Section 11.13

Survival. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Borrowing or issuance of a Letter of Credit, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit remain outstanding. Notwithstanding anything herein or implied by law to the contrary, the agreements of each Loan Party set forth in Sections 3.01, 3.04, 11.04, 11.05 and 11.09 and the agreements of the Lenders set forth in Sections 2.15, 10.03 and 10.07 shall survive the satisfaction of the Termination Conditions, and the termination hereof.

Section 11.14

Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby, (b) any such provision held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in such jurisdiction shall be deemed to have been modified for purpose of such jurisdiction to incorporate any such minimum limitation or modification that would cause such provision to become legal, valid or enforceable in such jurisdiction and (c) if the result of this clause (b) cannot be achieved, the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the intended effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Exhibit A

Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.14, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender or any Issuing Bank, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

Section 11.23

Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lender’s Rights. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitments of any other Lender hereunder.

the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(iii)

the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any Resolution Authority.

Section 11.26

Acknowledgment Regarding Any Supported QFCs.

(a)

To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise (including the Guaranty), for any Hedge Agreement or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States).

(b)

In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against

Exhibit A

such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
