requirement or any change in any such requirement as soon as XXXX becomes aware of it; (ii) XXXX
shall pay, or cause to be paid, any such Tax before the date on which penalties attach thereto,
such payment to be made (if the liability to pay is
imposed on any Obligor) for its own account or (if that liability is imposed on Xxxxxxx Sachs)
on behalf of and in the name of Xxxxxxx Xxxxx; (iii) unless otherwise provided on this Section 2.5,
the sum payable by such Obligor in respect of which the relevant deduction, withholding or payment
is required shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of that
deduction, withholding or payment, Xxxxxxx Sachs receives on the due date a net sum equal to what
it would have received had no such deduction, withholding or payment been required or made; and
(iv) within thirty days after the due date of payment of any Tax which it is required by clause
(ii) above to pay, XXXX shall deliver to Xxxxxxx Sachs evidence satisfactory to the other affected
parties of such deduction, withholding or payment and of the remittance thereof to the relevant
taxing or other authority; provided, with respect to any United States federal withholding
tax, no such additional amount shall be required to be paid to Xxxxxxx Xxxxx under clause (iii)
above except to the extent that any change after the date hereof (in the case of Xxxxxxx Sachs
listed on the signature pages hereof on the Closing Date) in any such requirement for a deduction,
withholding or payment as is mentioned therein shall result in an increase in the rate of such
deduction, withholding or payment from that in effect at the date hereof in respect of payments to
Xxxxxxx Xxxxx.
18
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, XXXX shall not be required to pay any additional
amount pursuant to Section 2.5(b) with respect to any United States federal withholding tax imposed
on any “withholdable payments” payable to a recipient as a result of the failure of such recipient
to satisfy the applicable requirements as set forth in FATCA after December 31, 2012.
(d) XXXX shall indemnify Xxxxxxx Sachs for the full amount of Taxes for which additional
amounts are required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.5(b) arising in connection with payments made
under this Agreement or any other Credit Document and Other Taxes (including any such Taxes or
Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.5) paid
by Xxxxxxx Xxxxx or any of its Affiliates and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with
respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or
asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or
liability delivered to such Obligor shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Such payment shall
be due within thirty (30) days of such Obligor’s receipt of such certificate.
(e) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has
received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.5
(including additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.5), it shall pay to the indemnifying party
an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this
Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses
(including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by
the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon
the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over
pursuant to this paragraph (e) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the
relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such
refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph
(e), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party
pursuant to this paragraph (e) the payment of which
would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the
indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving
rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any
indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes
that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

issuance of the New Letter of Credit in exchange therefor, DUHI shall on May 20, 2011 remit
$20,000,000 to Xxxxxxx Xxxxx for deposit into the Collateral Account to be held as additional

forward or long-term commitment that is not reflected in the Historical Financial Statements or the
notes thereto and which in any such case is material in relation to the business, operations,
properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of DUHI and any of its
Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

of Fiscal Year 2011 through and including Fiscal Year 2015 (the “Projections”) are
based on good faith estimates and assumptions made by the management of DUHI;
provided, the Projections are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the

and Liability Act (42 U.S.C. § 9604) or any comparable state law where any such notice or request
for information, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. There are and, to each of DUHI’s and
its Subsidiaries’ knowledge, have been, no conditions, occurrences, or Hazardous Materials
Activities which could reasonably be expected to form the basis of an Environmental Claim against
DUHI or any of its Subsidiaries that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither DUHI nor any of its Subsidiaries nor, to any
Obligor’s knowledge, any predecessor of DUHI or any of its Subsidiaries has filed any notice under
any Environmental Law indicating past or present treatment of Hazardous Materials at any Facility
where any such treatment, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. Compliance with all current or reasonably foreseeable future requirements
pursuant to or under Environmental Laws could not be reasonably expected to have, individually or
in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. No event or condition has occurred or is occurring
with respect to DUHI or any of its Subsidiaries relating to any Environmental Law, any Release of
Hazardous Materials, or any Hazardous Materials Activity which individually or in the aggregate has
had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.
4.13. No Defaults. Neither DUHI nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default in the performance, observance or
fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any of its Contractual
Obligations, and no condition exists which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both,
could constitute such a default, except where the consequences, direct or indirect, of such default
or defaults, if any, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
4.14. Governmental Regulation. Neither DUHI nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to regulation under the Federal Power
Act or the Investment Company Act of 1940 or under any other federal or state statute or regulation
which may limit its ability to incur Indebtedness or which may otherwise render all or any portion
of the Obligations unenforceable. Neither DUHI nor any of its Subsidiaries is a “registered
investment company” or a company “controlled” by a “registered investment company” or a “principal
underwriter” of a “registered investment company” as such terms are defined in the Investment
Company Act of 1940.
4.15. Federal Reserve Regulations; Exchange Act. None of DUHI, XXXX or any of their Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its
important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of buying or carrying
Margin Stock.
26
4.16. Employee Matters. Neither DUHI nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged in any unfair labor practice that could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There is (a) no unfair labor practice
complaint pending against DUHI or any of its Subsidiaries, or to the best knowledge of DUHI and
XXXX, threatened against any of them before the National Labor Relations Board and no grievance or
arbitration proceeding arising out of or under any collective bargaining
agreement that is so pending against DUHI or any of its Subsidiaries or to the best knowledge
of DUHI and XXXX, threatened against any of them, (b) no strike or work stoppage in existence or
threatened involving DUHI or any of its Subsidiaries, and (c) to the best knowledge of DUHI and
XXXX, no union representation question existing with respect to the employees of DUHI or any of its
Subsidiaries and, to the best knowledge of DUHI and XXXX, no union organization activity that is
taking place, except (with respect to any matter specified in clause (a), (b) or (c) above, either
individually or in the aggregate) such as is not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse
Effect.
4.17. Employee Benefit Plans. DUHI, each of its Subsidiaries and each of their respective ERISA Affiliates are in material
compliance with all applicable provisions and requirements of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code
and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder with respect to each Employee Benefit
Plan, and have performed all their obligations under each Employee Benefit Plan. Each Employee
Benefit Plan which is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code has
received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service indicating that such
Employee Benefit Plan is so qualified and nothing has occurred subsequent to the issuance of such
determination letter which would cause such Employee Benefit Plan to lose its qualified status. No
material liability to the PBGC (other than required premium payments), the Internal Revenue
Service, any Employee Benefit Plan or any trust established under Title IV of ERISA has been or is
expected to be incurred by DUHI, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates. No
ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur. Except to the extent required under
Section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code or similar state laws, no Employee Benefit Plan provides
health or welfare benefits (through the purchase of insurance or otherwise) for any retired or
former employee of DUHI, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates. The
present value of the aggregate benefit liabilities under each Pension Plan sponsored, maintained or
contributed to by DUHI, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates (determined as of
the end of the most recent plan year on the basis of the actuarial assumptions specified for
funding purposes in the most recent actuarial valuation for such Pension Plan), did not exceed the
aggregate current value of the assets of such Pension Plan. As of the most recent valuation date
for each Multiemployer Plan for which the actuarial report is available, the potential liability of
DUHI, its Subsidiaries and their respective ERISA Affiliates for a complete withdrawal from such
Multiemployer Plan (within the meaning of Section 4203 of ERISA), when aggregated with such
potential liability for a complete withdrawal from all Multiemployer Plans, based on information
available pursuant to Section 4221(e) of ERISA is zero. DUHI, each of its Subsidiaries and each of
their ERISA Affiliates have complied with the requirements of Section 515 of ERISA with respect to
each Multiemployer Plan and are not in material “default” (as defined in Section 4219(c)(5) of
ERISA) with respect to payments to a Multiemployer Plan.
4.18. Certain Fees. No broker’s or finder’s fee or commission will be payable with respect to the transactions
contemplated by the Related Agreements, except as payable to Xxxxxxx Xxxxx.
27
4.19. Solvency. Each Obligor is and, upon the incurrence of any Obligation by any Obligor on any date on
which this representation and warranty is made, will be, Solvent.
4.20. Related Agreements.
(a) Delivery. DUHI and XXXX have delivered to Xxxxxxx Xxxxx complete and correct
copies of (i) each Related Agreement and of all exhibits and schedules thereto as of the date
hereof and (ii) copies of any material amendment, restatement, supplement or other modification to
or waiver of each Related Agreement entered into after the date hereof.
(b) Conditions Precedent. On the Closing Date, (i) all of the conditions to effecting
or consummating the Acquisition set forth in the Acquisition Agreement have been duly satisfied or,
with the consent of Xxxxxxx Sachs, waived, and (ii) the Acquisition has been consummated in
accordance with the Acquisition Agreement and all applicable laws.
4.21. Compliance with Statutes, Etc. Each of DUHI and its Subsidiaries is in compliance with all applicable statutes, regulations
and orders of, and all applicable restrictions imposed by, all Governmental Authorities, in respect
of the conduct of its business and the ownership of its property (including compliance with all
applicable Environmental Laws governing its business and the requirements of any permits issued
under such Environmental Laws the operations of DUHI or any of its Subsidiaries), except such
non-compliance that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result
in a Material Adverse Effect.
4.22. Disclosure. No representation or warranty of any Obligor contained in any Credit Document or in any
other documents, certificates or written statements furnished to Xxxxxxx Xxxxx by or on behalf of
DUHI or any of its Subsidiaries for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby
contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact (known to DUHI
or XXXX, in the case of any document not furnished by either of them) necessary in order to make
the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which
the same were made. Any projections and pro forma financial information contained in such
materials are based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by DUHI or XXXX to be
reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by Xxxxxxx Xxxxx that such projections as to
future events are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods
covered by any such projections may differ from the projected results. There are no facts known
(or which should upon the reasonable exercise of diligence be known) to DUHI or XXXX (other than
matters of a general economic nature) that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect and that have not been disclosed herein or in such

SECTION 7. GUARANTY
7.1. Guaranty of the Obligations. Guarantors jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guaranty to Xxxxxxx
Sachs the due and punctual payment in full of all Obligations when the same shall become due,
whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise
(including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section
362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 362(a)) (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”).
7.2. Payment by Guarantors. Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree, in furtherance of the foregoing and not in
limitation of any other right which Xxxxxxx Xxxxx may have at law or in equity against any
Guarantor by virtue hereof, that upon the failure of XXXX to pay any of the Guaranteed
Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required
prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due
but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C.
§ 362(a)), Guarantors will upon demand pay, or cause to be paid, in Cash, to Xxxxxxx Xxxxx an
amount equal to the sum of the unpaid principal amount of all Guaranteed Obligations then due as
aforesaid, accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (including interest which,
but for XXXX’x becoming the subject of a case under the Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on such
Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against XXXX for such interest in the
related bankruptcy case) and all other Guaranteed Obligations then owed to Xxxxxxx Sachs as
aforesaid.
7.3. Liability of Guarantors Absolute. Each Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder are irrevocable, absolute, independent
and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance which constitutes a legal or
equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety other than payment in full of the Guaranteed
Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, each
Guarantor agrees as follows:
(a) this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and not of collectability. This Guaranty
is a primary obligation of each Guarantor and not merely a contract of surety;
(b) Xxxxxxx Xxxxx may enforce this Guaranty upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between XXXX and Xxxxxxx Xxxxx with respect to the
existence of such Event of Default;
(c) the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of XXXX and
the obligations of any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the obligations of XXXX,
and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against such Guarantor whether or
not any action is brought against XXXX or any of such other guarantors and whether or not XXXX is
joined in any such action or actions;
(d) payment by any Guarantor of a portion, but not all, of the Guaranteed Obligations shall in
no way limit, affect, modify or abridge any Guarantor’s liability for any portion of the Guaranteed
Obligations which has not been paid. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Xxxxxxx
Sachs is awarded a judgment in any suit brought to enforce any Guarantor’s covenant to pay a
portion of the Guaranteed Obligations, such judgment shall not be deemed to release any Guarantor
from its covenant to pay the portion of the Guaranteed Obligations that is not the subject of such
suit, and such judgment shall not, except to the extent satisfied by such Guarantor, limit, affect,
modify or abridge any other Guarantor’s liability hereunder in respect of the Guaranteed
Obligations;
35
(e) Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, upon such terms as it deems appropriate, without notice or demand and
without affecting the validity or enforceability hereof or giving rise to any reduction,
limitation, impairment, discharge or termination of any Guarantor’s liability hereunder, from time
to time may (i) renew, extend, accelerate, increase the rate of interest on, or otherwise change
the time, place, manner or terms of payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii)
settle, compromise, release or discharge, or accept or refuse any offer of performance with
respect to, or substitutions for, the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto
and/or subordinate the payment of the same to the payment of any other obligations; (iii) request
and accept other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations and take and hold security for the
payment hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) release, surrender, exchange, substitute,
compromise, settle, rescind, waive, alter, subordinate or modify, with or without consideration,
any security for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, any other guaranties of the Guaranteed
Obligations, or any other obligation of any Person (including any other Guarantor) with respect to
the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) enforce and apply any security now or hereafter held by or for the
benefit of Xxxxxxx Sachs in respect hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations and direct the order or
manner of sale thereof, or exercise any other right or remedy that Xxxxxxx Xxxxx may have against
any such security, in each case as Xxxxxxx Sachs in its discretion may determine consistent
herewith and any applicable security agreement, including foreclosure on any such security pursuant
to one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is
commercially reasonable, and even though such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of
reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Guarantor against any other Obligor or
any security for the Guaranteed Obligations; and (vi) exercise any other rights available to it
under the Credit Documents; and
(f) this Guaranty and the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall be valid and enforceable
and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination for any
reason (other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations), including the occurrence of any
of the following, whether or not any Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them:
(i) any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce,
or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or
enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under the Credit
Documents, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any
agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of
the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any
consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including provisions relating to events
of default) hereof, any of the other Credit Documents or any agreement or instrument executed
pursuant thereto, or of any other guaranty or security for the Guaranteed Obligations, in each case
whether or not in accordance with the terms hereof or such Credit Document or any agreement
relating to such other guaranty or security; (iii) the Guaranteed Obligations, or any agreement
relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect;
(iv) the application of payments received from any source (other than payments received pursuant to
the other Credit Documents or from the proceeds of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations,
except to the extent such security also serves as collateral for indebtedness other than the
Guaranteed Obligations) to the payment of indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations, even
though Xxxxxxx Xxxxx might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guaranteed
Obligations; (v) Xxxxxxx Sachs’ consent to the change, reorganization or termination of the
corporate structure or existence of DUHI or any of its Subsidiaries and to any corresponding
restructuring of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vi) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of
a security interest in any collateral which secures any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vii) any
defenses, set-offs or counterclaims which XXXX may allege or assert against Xxxxxxx Sachs in
respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including failure of consideration, breach of warranty,
payment, statute
of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury; and (viii) any other act
or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing, which may or might in any manner or to
any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor as an obligor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.
36
7.4. Waivers by Guarantors. Each Guarantor hereby waives, for the benefit of Xxxxxxx Xxxxx: (a) any right to require
Xxxxxxx Sachs, as a condition of payment or performance by such Guarantor, to (i) proceed against
XXXX, any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations or any
other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from XXXX, any such other guarantor
or any other Person, (iii) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any Deposit Account or
credit on the books of Xxxxxxx Xxxxx in favor of any Obligor or any other Person, or (iv) pursue
any other remedy in the power of Xxxxxxx Xxxxx whatsoever; (b) any defense arising by reason of the
incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of XXXX or any other Guarantor
including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of
the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the
cessation of the liability of XXXX or any other Guarantor from any cause other than payment in full
of the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides
that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more
burdensome than that of the principal; (d) any defense based upon Xxxxxxx Sachs’ errors or
omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations, except behavior which amounts to bad
faith; (e) (i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be
in conflict with the terms hereof and any legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor’s
obligations hereunder, (ii) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s
liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (iii) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and
counterclaims, and (iv) promptness, diligence and any requirement that Xxxxxxx Xxxxx protect,
secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto; (f)

notices of any of the matters referred to in Section 7.3 and any right to consent to any thereof;
and (g) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the
liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms hereof.
37
7.5. Guarantors’ Rights of Subrogation, Contribution, Etc. Until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full, each Guarantor
hereby waives any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that such Guarantor now has or may
hereafter have against XXXX or any other Guarantor or any of its assets in connection with this
Guaranty or the performance by such Guarantor of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether
such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or
otherwise and including (a) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that such
Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against XXXX with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations,
(b) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy that Xxxxxxx Xxxxx now
has or may hereafter have against XXXX, and (c) any benefit
of, and any right to participate in, any collateral or security now or hereafter held by
Xxxxxxx Xxxxx. In addition, until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in
full, each Guarantor shall withhold exercise of any right of contribution such Guarantor may have
against any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each
Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent the waiver or agreement to withhold the exercise of
its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as set forth herein is
found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of
subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification such Guarantor may have against XXXX or against any
collateral or security, and any rights of contribution such Guarantor may have against any such
other guarantor, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights Xxxxxxx Xxxxx may have against XXXX,
to all right, title and interest Xxxxxxx Xxxxx may have in any such collateral or security, and to
any right Xxxxxxx Sachs may have against such other guarantor. If any amount shall be paid to any
Guarantor on account of any such subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution rights
at any time when all Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been finally and indefeasibly paid in
full, such amount shall be held in trust for Xxxxxxx Xxxxx and shall forthwith be paid over to
Xxxxxxx Sachs for the benefit of Xxxxxxx Xxxxx to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed
Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms hereof.
7.6. Subordination of Other Obligations. Any Indebtedness of XXXX or any other Guarantor now or hereafter held by any Guarantor (the
“Obligee Guarantor”) is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the Guaranteed Obligations, and
any such Indebtedness collected or received by the Obligee Guarantor after an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing shall be held in trust for Xxxxxxx Xxxxx and shall forthwith be paid
over to Xxxxxxx Sachs to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations but without
affecting, impairing or limiting in any manner the liability of the Obligee Guarantor under any
other provision hereof.
7.7. Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in effect until all of the
Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any
right to revoke this Guaranty as to future transactions giving rise to any Guaranteed Obligations.
7.8. Authority of Guarantors or XXXX. It is not necessary for Xxxxxxx Sachs to inquire into the capacity or powers of any
Guarantor or XXXX or the officers, directors or any agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of
any of them.
38
7.9. Financial Condition of XXXX. Xxxxxxx Xxxxx shall not have any obligation to disclose or discuss with any Guarantor its
assessment, or any Guarantor’s assessment, of the financial condition of XXXX. Each Guarantor has
adequate means to obtain information from XXXX on a continuing basis concerning the financial
condition of XXXX and its ability to perform its obligations under the
Credit Documents, and each Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed
of the financial condition of XXXX and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of
the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of
Xxxxxxx Sachs to disclose any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, operations or
conditions of XXXX now known or hereafter known by Xxxxxxx Sachs.
7.10. Bankruptcy, Etc.. (a) So long as any Guaranteed Obligations remain outstanding, no Guarantor shall, without
the prior written consent of Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, commence or join with any other Person in commencing
any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency case or proceeding of or against XXXX or any other
Guarantor. The obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall not be reduced, limited, impaired,
discharged, deferred, suspended or terminated by any case or proceeding, voluntary or involuntary,
involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of
XXXX or any other Guarantor or by any defense which XXXX or any other Guarantor may have by reason
of the order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such
proceeding.
(b) Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any interest on any portion of the Guaranteed
Obligations which accrues after the commencement of any case or proceeding referred to in clause
(a) above (or, if interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations ceases to accrue by
operation of law by reason of the commencement of such case or proceeding, such interest as would
have accrued on such portion of the Guaranteed Obligations if such case or proceeding had not been
commenced) shall be included in the Guaranteed Obligations because it is the intention of
Guarantors and Xxxxxxx Xxxxx that the Guaranteed Obligations which are guaranteed by Guarantors
pursuant hereto should be determined without regard to any rule of law or order which may relieve
XXXX of any portion of such Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantors will permit any trustee in
bankruptcy, receiver, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar Person
to pay Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, or allow the claim of Xxxxxxx Sachs in respect of, any such interest accruing
after the date on which such case or proceeding is commenced.
(c) In the event that all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid by XXXX, the
obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall continue and remain in full force and effect or be
reinstated, as the case may be, in the event that all or any part of such payment(s) are rescinded
or recovered directly or indirectly from Xxxxxxx Sachs as a preference, fraudulent transfer or
otherwise, and any such payments which are so rescinded or recovered shall constitute Guaranteed
Obligations for all purposes hereunder.
39

9.3. Indemnity.
(a) In addition to the payment of expenses pursuant to Section 9.2, whether or not the
transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, each Obligor agrees to defend (subject to
Indemnitees’ selection of counsel), indemnify, pay and hold harmless, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx and each of its
officers, partners, members, directors, trustees, advisors, employees, agents, sub-agents and
affiliates (each, an “Indemnitee”), from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities;
provided, no Obligor shall have any obligation to any Indemnitee hereunder with respect to
any Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, in each case, as determined by a final,
non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent that the undertakings
to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 9.3 may be unenforceable in
whole or in part because they are violative of any law or public policy, the applicable Obligor
shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law
to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Indemnitees or any of
them.
(b) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Obligor shall assert, and each Obligor
hereby waives, any claim against Xxxxxxx Xxxxx and its Affiliates, directors,
employees, attorneys, agents or sub-agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect,
consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) (whether or not the
claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by any applicable legal requirement)
arising out of, in connection with, as a result of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any
Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein
or therein, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or any act or omission or event
occurring in connection therewith, and DUHI and XXXX hereby waives, releases and agrees not to xxx
upon any such claim or any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or
suspected to exist in its favor.
43
(c) Each Obligor also agrees that none of Xxxxxxx Sachs nor its Affiliates, directors,
employees, attorneys, agents or sub-agents will have any liability to any Obligor or any person
asserting claims on behalf of or in right of any Obligor or any other person in connection with or
as a result of this Agreement or any Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated
hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein, the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby, or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, in each case, except in
the case of any Obligor to the extent that any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses
incurred by such Obligor or its affiliates, shareholders, partners or other equity holders have
been found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have
resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Xxxxxxx Xxxxx or its Affiliates,
directors, employees, attorneys, agents or sub-agents in performing its obligations under this
Agreement or any Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or
referred to herein or therein; provided, however, that in no event will Xxxxxxx Sachs or its
Affiliates, directors, employees, attorneys, agents or sub-agents have any liability for any
indirect, consequential, special or punitive damages in connection with or as a result of Xxxxxxx
Xxxxx’ or its Affiliates’, directors’, employees’, attorneys’, agents’ or sub-agents’ activities
related to this Agreement or any Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby
or thereby or referred to herein or therein.
9.4. Set-Off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of
limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default each GS Related Party is
hereby authorized by each Obligor at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Obligor
or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to
appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including Indebtedness evidenced
by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts) and any
other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by any GS Related Party to or for the credit or the
account of any Obligor against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of any Obligor to
any GS Related Party Sachs hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, including all claims of
any nature or description arising out of or connected hereto or with any other Credit Document,
irrespective of whether or not (a) such GS Related Party shall have made any demand hereunder or
(b) any amounts due hereunder shall have become due and payable pursuant to Section 2 and although
such obligations and liabilities, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured. The rights of
the GS Related Parties under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including
other rights of setoff) that the GS Related Parties may have.
9.5. Amendments and Waivers. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provisions of the Credit Documents,
or consent to any departure by any Obligor therefrom, shall in any event be effective with the
written concurrence of Xxxxxxx Xxxxx and each Obligor.

assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and the successors and assigns of
Xxxxxxx Sachs. No Obligor’s rights or obligations hereunder nor any interest therein may be
assigned or delegated by any Obligor without the prior written consent of Xxxxxxx Xxxxx. Nothing
in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than
the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent
expressly contemplated hereby, Affiliates of Xxxxxxx Xxxxx) any legal or equitable right, remedy or
claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
9.7. Independence of Covenants. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or
condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an
exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the
occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.
9.8. Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements. All representations, warranties and agreements made herein shall survive the execution and
delivery hereof and the issuance of the Letters of Credit. Notwithstanding anything herein or
implied by law to the contrary, the agreements of each Obligor set forth in Sections 2.5, 10.2,
10.3 and 10.4 and the agreements of Xxxxxxx Sachs set forth in Sections 9.3(b) and 9.6 shall
survive the payment of the Obligations, and the termination hereof.
9.9. No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of Xxxxxxx Xxxxx in the exercise of any power, right or
privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall impair such power, right or privilege
or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof
or of any other power, right or privilege. The rights, powers and remedies given to Xxxxxxx Xxxxx
hereby are cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and
remedies existing by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in any of the other Credit Documents.
Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy
hereunder shall not impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof,
nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or remedy.
9.10. Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. Xxxxxxx Xxxxx shall not be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any
Obligor or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the
extent that any Obligor makes a payment or payments to Xxxxxxx Sachs, or Xxxxxxx Xxxxx enforces any
security interests or exercises any right of setoff, and such payment or 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 to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any
other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state or federal law, common law or any equitable
cause, then, 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.
45
9.11. Severability. In case any provision in or obligation hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall
be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability
of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other
jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. EACH PARTY HERETO FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED

REFERRING TO THIS SECTION 10.16 AND EXECUTED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO), AND THIS WAIVER SHALL

OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN
CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.
9.16. Confidentiality. Xxxxxxx Xxxxx shall hold all non-public information regarding DUHI and its Subsidiaries and
their businesses identified as such by DUHI and obtained by Xxxxxxx Sachs pursuant to the
requirements hereof in accordance with Xxxxxxx Sachs’s customary procedures for handling
confidential information of such nature, it being understood and agreed by DUHI that, in any event,
Xxxxxxx Sachs may make (i) disclosures of such information to its Affiliates and to their
respective agents and advisors in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Credit

present or disseminate such information in connection with disclosures otherwise made in accordance
with this Section 9.16), (ii) disclosures of such information reasonably required by any direct or
indirect contractual counterparties (or the professional advisors thereto) to any swap or
derivative transaction relating to DUHI and its obligations (provided, such assignees, transferees,
participants, counterparties and advisors are advised of and agree to be bound by either the
provisions of this Section 9.16 or other provisions at least as restrictive as this Section 9.16),
(iii) disclosure to any rating agency when required by it, provided that, prior to any

47
9.17. Usury Savings Clause. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged with
respect to any of the Obligations, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in
the nature of interest under applicable law shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If the rate
of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time
exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder shall bear
interest at the Highest Lawful 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. In addition, if when the Obligations hereunder are
repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for
above) is less than the total 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, then to the extent
permitted by law, XXXX shall pay to Xxxxxxx Xxxxx an amount equal to the difference between the
amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful
Rate had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, it is the intention of Xxxxxxx Sachs and XXXX to conform strictly to any applicable
usury laws. Accordingly, if Xxxxxxx Sachs contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration
which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be
cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at Xxxxxxx Xxxxx’ option be applied to the
outstanding Obligations or be refunded to XXXX.
9.18. Effectiveness; Counterparts. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of
the parties hereto and receipt by XXXX and Xxxxxxx Xxxxx of written notification of such execution
and authorization of delivery thereof. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all
such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Delivery of an
executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or in electronic format

Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to
Delek US Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(“
Holdings”), in connection with the transactions that are the subject of the Reimbursement
Agreement, as defined below. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the same
meanings as in the Reimbursement Agreement.
This opinion letter is being delivered to you pursuant to Section 3.1(i) of the
Reimbursement Agreement.
In connection with this opinion, we have examined the following documents (collectively, the
“Transaction Documents”):
(1) that certain
Reimbursement and Guaranty Agreement dated April 29, 2011, by and among
Xxxxxxx Sachs Lending Partners LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“
Goldman”), by
Holdings, Lion Oil Company, an Arkansas corporation (“
Lion”), Lion Oil Trading &
Transportation, Inc., an Arkansas corporation (“
XXXX”) (the “
Reimbursement
Agreement”); and
(2) that certain Pledge and Security Agreement of even date with the Reimbursement Agreement,
executed Holdings, Lion and XXXX in favor of Goldman (the “Security Agreement”).
We have also reviewed the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Holdings (collectively,
the “Organizational Documents”), such corporate records of Holdings, such certificates of
public officials and such other matters regarding Holdings as we have deemed necessary or
appropriate for purposes of this opinion letter. As to factual matters, we have assumed the
correctness of and relied upon statements and other representations of Holdings and the officers
thereof set forth in the Transaction Documents and in certificates provided pursuant to or in
connection with the Transaction Documents or otherwise provided to us, and upon certificates of
public officials, and we have made no independent inquiries or investigations. For purposes of the
opinions on the existence and good standing of Holdings, we have relied solely upon a certificate
of existence of recent date, issued by the Delaware Secretary of State.
Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Lending Partners LLC
April 29, 2011
Page 2
In making such examination and in expressing our opinions, we have further assumed, without
investigation or inquiry:
(a) the due organization and existence of all parties to the Transaction Documents, except to
the extent that we express an opinion in Paragraph 1 below regarding the existence of
Holdings,
(b) the legal capacity of all natural persons,
(c) the due authorization of the Transaction Documents by all parties thereto, except to the
extent that we express an opinion in Paragraph 1 below regarding the authorization of the
Transaction Documents by Holdings,
(d) the due execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by all parties thereto, except
to the extent that we express an opinion in Paragraph 2 below regarding the execution and
delivery of the Transaction Documents by Holdings,
(e) that all parties to the Transaction Documents have the legal right, power and authority to
enter into the Transaction Documents and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby,
except to the extent that we express an opinion in Paragraph 1 below regarding the
corporate power and corporate authority of Holdings,
(f) that all signatures on any executed documents furnished to us, other than signatures by or
on behalf of Holdings, are genuine, all original documents submitted to us are authentic originals
and all certified or other reproductions of documents submitted to us conform to the original
documents,
(g) that the indebtedness incurred and obligations undertaken pursuant to the Transaction
Documents have been incurred and undertaken for adequate consideration,
(h) that all property descriptions used in the Transaction Documents accurately and
sufficiently describe the subject property, and
(i) that to the extent that attachment of the security interests of the Transaction Documents
is governed by the law of any jurisdiction other than Tennessee, such security interests have
attached under such law.
Xxxxxxx Sachs Lending Partners LLC
April 29, 2011
Page 3
Based upon the foregoing and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications herein
set forth, we are of the opinion that:
1. Holdings is a validly existing Delaware corporation, in good standing under the laws of
Delaware. Holdings has all necessary corporate power and corporate authority to execute and
deliver the Transaction Documents and to enter into and perform its obligations thereunder. The
execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and the performance and observance of the
provisions thereof by Holdings have been properly authorized by all necessary corporate actions on
the part of Holdings.
2. The Transaction Documents have been duly executed and delivered by Holdings.
3. The execution, delivery and, where applicable, recording, of the Transaction Documents, and
the consummation of the financing transaction that is the subject thereof, do not (a) violate any
law or regulation of the State of Tennessee, United States of America or the Delaware General
Corporation Law, (b) contravene the Organizational Documents of Holdings and (c) constitute a
default under or breach of the terms of, or an event that, with the lapse of time or giving of
notice, or both, would constitute a default under or breach of, or require the consent (which
consent, as of the date hereof, has not been obtained) of any person under the terms of, the Xxxx
Agreement or the Financing Agreement (as defined in the Reimbursement Agreement).
4. No authorization, consent, approval or other action by or filing with any governmental
authority of the State of Tennessee, the United States of America or the Delaware General
Corporation Law is required under for the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by
Holdings.
5. The Security Agreement is effective to create an enforceable security interest in the
interest of Holdings in the personal property described therein to the extent that a security
interest therein may be created under provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in
Tennessee (the “Tennessee UCC”).
6. Assuming that the Collateral Account (as defined in the Security Agreement) is a demand,
time, savings, passbook, or similar account maintained with an organization that is engaged in the
business of banking, and that Goldman is Citibank, N.A.’s customer with respect to the Collateral
Account, Goldman shall have “control” within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the Tennessee UCC over
the Collateral Account.
7. Assuming that Holdings applies any proceeds received by it pursuant to the Reimbursement
Agreement in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Reimbursement Agreement, the
extensions of credit contemplated by the Reimbursement Agreement do not violate the provisions of
Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
Xxxxxxx Sachs Lending Partners LLC
April 29, 2011
Page 4
8. Holdings is not an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended.
The opinions expressed herein are limited to the laws of Tennessee, the Delaware General
Corporation Law and the federal laws of the United States of America. Our opinions regarding
existence, corporate power, corporate authority, the authorization, execution and delivery of
documents and other matters of corporate law, are based solely upon our review of the latest
unofficial compilations of the Delaware General Corporation Law that were available to us, and we
have not examined any other Delaware statutes or any court decisions from Delaware.
We express no opinion as to the enforceability of the choice of law provisions contained in
the Transaction Documents under the laws of New York or Tennessee, nor, assuming such provisions
would be enforceable under the choice-of-law principles of New York and Tennessee, do we state any
opinion as to the enforceability of the Transaction Documents under the internal laws of New York.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, you have requested us to examine the Transaction Documents and
provide you with the opinions set forth above assuming, solely for purposes of such opinions, that
the internal laws of Tennessee would govern them. If the Transaction Documents were to be governed
by the internal laws of Tennessee, our opinions would be as set forth herein. We note that if a
court of competent jurisdiction determines one or more of the Transaction Documents to be
unenforceable under the laws of New York, then such Transaction Documents may not be enforced by
Tennessee courts under applicable Tennessee conflict of law principles.
The opinions expressed herein are qualified as follows:
(a) The validity, binding nature and enforceability of any liability, obligation,
instrument, document or agreement are subject to (i) applicable bankruptcy, reorganization,
insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer and other federal and
state laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors, and (ii) general principles of
equity (including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith
and fair dealing and the possible unavailability of specific performance, injunctive relief
and other equitable remedies), whether applied in a proceeding at law or in equity.
(b) We express no opinion with respect to any matters that would require us to perform
a mathematical calculation or make a determination as to financial or accounting matters
(including but not limited to compliance or noncompliance with financial covenants or
ratios).
Our opinion is rendered as of the date hereof and we assume no obligation to advise you of
changes in law or fact (or the effect thereof on the opinions expressed herein) that hereafter may
come to our attention.

(ii) it shall preserve and keep the Inventory owned by it at all times in good condition
in all material respects so that its value and the security interest created hereby shall at no
time become materially impaired; and it shall not do or permit anything to be done to the
Collateral that may reasonably be expected to violate the terms of any insurance covering the
Collateral or any part thereof;
10
(iii) it shall keep and maintain at its own cost and expense satisfactory and complete
records of the Receivables, including, but not limited to, the originals of all documentation
with respect to all Receivables and records of all payments received and all credits granted on
the Receivables, all merchandise returned and all other dealings therewith;
(iv) other than in the ordinary course of business (i) it shall not amend, modify,
terminate or waive any provision of any Receivable in any manner which could reasonably be
expected to have a material adverse effect on the value of such Receivable; (ii) following and
during the continuation of an Event of Default, such Grantor shall not (w) grant any extension
or renewal of the time of payment of any Receivable, (x) compromise or settle any dispute,
claim or legal proceeding with respect to any Receivable for less than the total unpaid balance
thereof, (y) release, wholly or partially, any Person liable for the payment thereof, or (z)
allow any credit or discount thereon;
(v) it shall observe and comply in all material respects with all laws, statutes,
ordinances, rules, regulations, judgments, decrees, franchises, permits, licenses, certificates
and requirements of all federal, state, parish, county, municipal and other governmental
agencies, departments, commissions, boards, courts and authorities applicable to the Collateral
owned by it; and it shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes, levies, license fees,
assessments, and other impositions levied on the Collateral or any part thereof, unless
properly disputed and pursued in the appropriate administrative or judicial forum;
(vi) at any time following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of
Default, the Collateral Agent may: (i) direct the Account Debtors under any Receivables to
make payment of all amounts due or to become due to such Grantor thereunder directly to the
Collateral Agent; (ii) notify, or require any Grantor to notify, each Person maintaining a
lockbox or similar arrangement to which Account Debtors under any Receivables have been
directed to make payment to remit all amounts representing collections on checks and other
payment items from time to time sent to or deposited in such lockbox or other arrangement
directly to the Collateral Agent; and (iii) enforce, at the expense of such Grantor, collection
of any such Receivables, in the same manner and to the same extent as such Grantor might have
done. If the Collateral Agent notifies any Grantor
that it has elected to collect the Receivables in accordance with the preceding sentence,
any payments of Receivables received by such Grantor shall be forthwith (and in any event
within 2 Business Days) deposited by such Grantor in the exact form received, duly indorsed by
such Grantor to the Collateral Agent if required, in an account notified by the Collateral
Agent to such Grantor to be maintained under the sole dominion and control of the Collateral
Agent, and until so turned over, all amounts and proceeds (including checks and other
instruments) received by such Grantor in respect of the Receivables, any Supporting Obligation
or Collateral Support shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent
hereunder and shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and such Grantor shall not
adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any Receivable, or release wholly or
partly any Account Debtor or obligor thereof, or allow any credit or discount thereon; and
(vii) the Grantors shall not request or cause or permit to be issued any Document
evidencing title to Inventory (other than Xxxx Star bills of lading) unless requested by
Collateral Agent or otherwise in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past
practice.
11
6.5 Supply Paths for Foreign and Domestic Offshore Crudes.
Lion and XXXX shall use commercially reasonable efforts to continue to use the supply paths to
Lion’s refinery in El Dorado, Arkansas that they have heretofore described to the Collateral Agent
for substantially all of the Inventory; provided that upon Lion or XXXX becoming aware of,
or determining to make, any material changes to the use of such supply paths, Lion or XXXX shall,
as applicable, promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof.
SECTION 7. ACCESS; RIGHT OF INSPECTION AND FURTHER ASSURANCES.
7.1 Access; Right of Inspection; Information.
The Collateral Agent shall at all times have full and free access during normal business hours
to all the books, correspondence and records of each Grantor, and the Collateral Agent and its
representatives may examine the same, take extracts therefrom and make photocopies thereof, and
each Grantor agrees to render to the Collateral Agent, at such Grantor’s cost and expense, such
clerical and other assistance as may be reasonably requested with regard thereto. The Collateral
Agent and its representatives shall at all times also have the right to enter any premises of each
Grantor and inspect any property of each Grantor where any of the Collateral of such Grantor
granted pursuant to this Agreement is located for the purpose of inspecting the same, observing its
use or otherwise protecting its interests therein. The Grantors shall furnish information
concerning the Collateral at such reasonable times and as often as the Collateral Agent may
reasonably request, including without limitation schedules describing the Inventory included in the
Collateral, in form satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, by location (showing Inventory in
transit, and Inventory in the possession of third parties), by class (raw material, work-in-process
and finished goods), by product type, and by volume on hand, and reconciliations between the
amounts shown in the Grantors’ general ledgers and financial statements and such schedules.
7.2 Further Assurances.
(i) Each Grantor agrees that from time to time, at the expense of such Grantor, that it
shall promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and
take all further action, that may be necessary or desirable, or that the Collateral Agent
may reasonably request, in order to create and/or maintain the validity, perfection or priority
of and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the
Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any
Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor shall:
(i) file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, record
security interests in Intellectual Property and execute and deliver such other agreements,
instruments, endorsements, powers of attorney or notices, as may be necessary or desirable,
or as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in order to effect, reflect, perfect and
preserve the security interests granted or purported to be granted hereby;
(ii) at any reasonable time, upon request by the Collateral Agent, assemble the
Collateral and allow inspection of the Collateral by the Collateral Agent, or persons
designated by the Collateral Agent;
(iii) at the Collateral Agent’s request, appear in and defend any action or proceeding
that may affect such Grantor’s title to or the Collateral Agent’s security interest in all
or any part of the Collateral; and
12
(iv) furnish the Collateral Agent with such information regarding the Collateral,
including, without limitation, the location thereof, as the Collateral Agent may reasonably
request from time to time.
(ii) Each Grantor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to file a Record or Records,
including, without limitation, financing or continuation statements, and amendments and
supplements to any of the foregoing, in any jurisdictions and with any filing offices as the
Collateral Agent may determine, in its sole discretion, are necessary or advisable to perfect
or otherwise protect the security interest granted to the Collateral Agent herein. Such
financing statements may describe the Collateral in the same manner as described herein or may
contain an indication or description of collateral that describes such property in any other
manner as the Collateral Agent may determine, in its sole discretion, is necessary, advisable
or prudent to ensure the perfection of the security interest in the Collateral granted to the
Collateral Agent herein. Each Grantor shall furnish to the Collateral Agent from time to time
statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other
reports in connection with the Collateral as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, all
in reasonable detail.
SECTION 8. COLLATERAL AGENT APPOINTED ATTORNEY-IN-FACT.
8.1 Power of Attorney. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent (such appointment being
coupled with an interest) as such Grantor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and
stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor, the Collateral Agent or otherwise, from time
to time in the Collateral Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument that
the Collateral Agent may deem reasonably necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this
Agreement, including, without limitation, the following:
(i) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to obtain and
adjust insurance required to be maintained by such Grantor or paid to the Collateral Agent
pursuant to the Reimbursement Agreement;
(ii) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to ask for,
demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compound, receive and give acquittance and receipts for
moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral;
(iii) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to receive,
endorse and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and chattel paper in connection
with clause (b) above;
(iv) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to file any
claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that the Collateral Agent may deem
necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the
rights of the Collateral Agent with respect to any of the Collateral;
(v) to prepare and file any UCC financing statements against such Grantor as debtor;
13
(vi) to take or cause to be taken all actions necessary to perform or comply or cause
performance or compliance with the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation,
access to pay or discharge taxes or Liens (other than Permitted Liens) levied or placed upon or
threatened against the Collateral, the legality or validity thereof and the amounts necessary
to discharge the same to be determined by the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion, any such
payments made by the Collateral Agent to become obligations of such Grantor to the Collateral
Agent, due and payable immediately without demand; and
(vii) generally to sell, transfer, lease, license, pledge, make any agreement with respect
to or otherwise deal with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the
Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the Collateral
Agent’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time or from time to time, all acts and
things that the Collateral Agent deems reasonably necessary to protect, preserve or realize
upon the Collateral and the Collateral Agent’s security interest therein in order to effect the
intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.
8.2 No Duty on the Part of Collateral Agent or Secured Parties
(i) . The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect the
interests of the Secured Parties in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the
Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Agent
and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive
as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers,
directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to
act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
SECTION 9. REMEDIES.
9.1 Generally.
(i) If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent
may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to all other rights and remedies
provided for herein or otherwise available to it at law or in equity, all the rights and
remedies of the Collateral Agent on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to
the affected Collateral) to collect, enforce or satisfy any Secured Obligations then owing,
whether by acceleration or otherwise, and also may pursue any of the following separately,
successively or simultaneously:
(i) require any Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it shall at its
expense and promptly upon request of the Collateral Agent forthwith, assemble all or part
of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the
Collateral Agent at a place to be designated by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably
convenient to both parties;
(ii) enter onto the property where any Collateral is located and take possession
thereof with or without judicial process;
(iii) prior to the disposition of the Collateral, store, process, repair or
recondition the Collateral or otherwise prepare the Collateral for disposition in any
manner to the extent the Collateral Agent deems appropriate; and
14
(iv) without notice except as specified below or under the UCC, sell, assign, lease,
license (on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis) or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or
any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Collateral
Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such time or
times and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may
deem commercially reasonable.
(ii) The Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may be the purchaser of any or all of
the Collateral at any public or private (to the extent to the portion of the Collateral being
privately sold is of a kind that is customarily sold on a recognized market or the subject of
widely distributed standard price quotations) sale in accordance with the UCC and the
Collateral Agent, as collateral agent for and representative of the Secured Parties, shall be
entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for
all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale made in accordance with the UCC, to
use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for
any Collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale. Each purchaser at any such sale
shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any
Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all rights
of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have
under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Each Grantor agrees that,
to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days notice to such
Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to
be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated
to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral
Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and
place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place
to which it was so adjourned. Each Grantor agrees that it would not be commercially
unreasonable for the Collateral Agent to dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof by
using Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the
Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match
buyers and sellers of assets. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against the
Collateral Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have
been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a
public sale, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer
such Collateral to more than one offeree. If the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of
the Collateral are insufficient to pay all the Secured Obligations, Grantors shall be liable
for the deficiency and the fees of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent to collect
such deficiency. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained
in this Section will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent, that the Collateral
Agent has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each
and every covenant contained in this Section shall be specifically enforceable against such
Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action
for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no default has occurred
giving rise to the Secured Obligations becoming due and payable prior to their stated
maturities. Nothing in this Section shall in any way limit the rights of the Collateral Agent
hereunder.
(iii) The Collateral Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the
Collateral. The Collateral Agent may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title
or the like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial
reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.
(iv) The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to marshal any of the Collateral.
15
9.2 Application of Proceeds. Except as expressly provided elsewhere in this Agreement, all proceeds received by the
Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, any collection from, or other realization upon all or
any part of the Collateral shall be applied in full or in part by the Collateral Agent against, the
Secured Obligations in the following order of priority: first, to the payment of all costs
and expenses of such sale, collection or other realization, including reasonable compensation to
the Collateral Agent and its agents and counsel, and all other expenses, liabilities and advances
made or incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection therewith, and all amounts for which the
Collateral Agent is entitled to indemnification hereunder (in its capacity as the Collateral Agent
and not in its individual capacity) and all advances made by the Collateral Agent hereunder for the
account of the applicable Grantor, and to the payment of all costs and expenses paid or incurred by
the Collateral Agent in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under the
Reimbursement Agreement, all in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof; second, to the
extent of any excess of such proceeds, subject to Section 9.4, to the payment of all other Secured
Obligations for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties other than the Collateral Agent; and
third, to the extent of any excess of such proceeds, to the payment to or upon the order of
the applicable Grantor or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court
of competent jurisdiction may direct.
9.3 Sales on Credit. If Collateral Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Grantor will be credited only
with payments actually made by purchaser and received by Collateral Agent and applied to
indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral,
Collateral Agent may resell the Collateral and Grantor shall be credited with proceeds of the sale.
9.4 Offtake Agreement. By reason of the fact that the Collateral consisting of rights under the Offtake Agreement
secure Secured Obligations owing to the GS Related Parties but not Secured Obligations owing to
Xxxx, the benefits of the Receivables arising under the Offtake Agreement shall (unless otherwise
agreed by Xxxxxxx Sachs and Xxxx) be shared by them ratably in connection with the exercise of any
remedies hereunder and under the Offtake Agreement by determining their respective ratable shares
of such Receivables (calculated as if such Receivables did secure all of the Secured Obligations
owing to them) and applying the share of the Proceeds of such Receivables allocable to the GS
Related Parties under clause second of Section 9.2, it being acknowledged and agreed that
Xxxx, as the Account Debtor with respect to such Receivables, may derive its corresponding benefit
by exercising its right of set-off under the Offtake Agreement against an amount up to but not
exceeding its ratable share (calculated as aforesaid) of such Receivables (calculated as
aforesaid). If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent
may apply the balance from the Collateral Account or instruct the bank at which the Collateral
Account is maintained to pay the balance of the Collateral Account to or for the benefit of the
Collateral Agent.
16
9.5 Further Provisions. The Collateral Agent, instead of exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, may
proceed by a suit or suits to foreclose the security interest created hereby and sell the
Collateral or any portion thereof under a judgment of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction.
For purposes of Louisiana executory process procedures, each Grantor acknowledges the Secured
Obligations and does hereby confess judgment in favor of the Collateral Agent for the full amount
of the Secured Obligations. Each Grantor agrees that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
the Collateral Agent may cause the Collateral to be seized and sold under executory or ordinary
process, at the Collateral Agent’s sole option, without appraisement, appraisement being hereby
expressly waived, as an entirety or in parcels as the Collateral Agent may determine, to the
highest bidder for cash, and otherwise exercise the rights, powers and remedies afforded herein and
under applicable Louisiana law. Any and all declarations of fact made by authentic act before a
Notary Public in the presence of two witnesses by a person declaring that such facts lie within his
knowledge shall constitute authentic evidence of such facts for the purpose of executory process.
Each Grantor hereby waives in favor of the Collateral Agent: (a) the benefit of appraisement as
provided in Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure Articles 2332, 2336, 2723 and 2724, and all other
laws conferring the same; (b) the demand and three days delay accorded by Louisiana Code of Civil
Procedure Article 2721; (c) the notice of seizure required by Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure
Articles 2293 and 2721; (d) the three days delay provided by Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure
Articles 2331 and 2722; and (e) the benefit of the other provisions of Louisiana Code of Civil
Procedure Articles 2331, 2722 and 2723, not specifically mentioned above. In the event the
Collateral or any part thereof is seized as an incident to an action for the recognition or
enforcement of this Security Agreement by executory process, ordinary process, sequestration, writ
of fieri facias, or otherwise, each Grantor and the Collateral Agent agree that the court issuing
any such order shall, if petitioned for by the Collateral Agent, direct the applicable sheriff to
appoint as a keeper of the Collateral, the Collateral Agent or any agent designated by the
Collateral Agent or any person named by the Collateral Agent at the time such seizure is effected.
This designation is pursuant to Louisiana Revised Statutes 9:5136-9:5140.2 and the Collateral Agent
shall be entitled to all the rights and benefits afforded thereunder as the same may be amended.
It is hereby agreed that the keeper shall be entitled to receive as
compensation, in excess of its costs and expenses incurred in the administration or
preservation of the Collateral, an amount equal to one thousand ($1,000.00) dollars per day,
payable on a weekly basis. The designation of keeper made herein shall not be deemed to require
the Collateral Agent to provoke the appointment of such a keeper.
SECTION 10. COLLATERAL AGENT.
The Collateral Agent has been appointed by the Secured Parties to act as Collateral Agent
hereunder by their acceptance of the benefits hereof. The Collateral Agent shall be obligated, and
shall have the right hereunder, to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from
exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking any action (including, without
limitation, the release or substitution of Collateral), solely in accordance with this Agreement.
It is acknowledged and agreed by all parties hereto that the Collateral Agent may release
Collateral from the Collateral Account in accordance with Section 2.6 of the Reimbursement
Agreement.
SECTION 11. CONTINUING SECURITY INTEREST.
This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall be
binding upon each Grantor, its successors and assigns, and inure, together with the rights and
remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and its
successors, transferees and assigns. Upon the payment in full of all Secured Obligations owing to
all Secured Parties other than Xxxx and the cancellation or expiration of the Letters of Credit,
the security interest granted hereby shall automatically terminate hereunder and of record and all
rights to the Collateral granted or arising hereunder shall revert to the Grantors; provided that
if at such time a “Default” or “Event of Default” shall have occurred and be continuing under the
Offtake Agreement, such termination hereof shall not occur until the payment in full of all Secured
Obligations owing to Xxxx and the termination of the Offtake Agreement. Upon any such termination
the Collateral Agent shall, at the Grantors’ expense, execute and deliver to the Grantors or
otherwise authorize the filing of such documents as the Grantors shall reasonably request,
including financing statement amendments to evidence such termination. Upon any disposition of
Inventory to Xxxx or any other Person in accordance with the Offtake Agreement, the Liens granted
herein on such Inventory (but not on the Proceeds thereof) shall be deemed to be automatically
released with no further action on the part of any Person. The Collateral Agent shall, at the
applicable Grantor’s expense, execute and deliver or otherwise authorize the filing of such
documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to the Collateral Agent, including financing statement amendments to evidence such release.
Nothing herein shall diminish or otherwise affect the rights of Xxxx under the Offtake Agreement or
any other agreement or instrument executed in connection therewith (including the rights of Xxxx
with respect to the security interest in certain collateral granted under Section 17.2 of the
Offtake Agreement, which security interest shall continue notwithstanding any termination of this
Agreement).
17
SECTION 12. STANDARD OF CARE; COLLATERAL AGENT MAY PERFORM.
The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest in
the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the
exercise of reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting
for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any
Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior
parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall be
deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of Collateral in its
possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the
Collateral Agent accords its own property. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its directors,
officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or
any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or
otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or otherwise. If any Grantor
fails to perform any agreement contained herein, the Collateral Agent may itself perform, or cause
performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection
therewith shall be payable by each Grantor under Section 10.2 of the Reimbursement Agreement.
SECTION 13. MISCELLANEOUS.
Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be given in accordance
with Section 9.1 of the Reimbursement Agreement (and for this purpose, the address for the
Collateral Agent shall be deemed to be the same address as Xxxxxxx Xxxxx). No failure or delay on
the part of the Collateral Agent in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or
under any other Secured Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be
a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power,
right or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement and the other Secured
Documents are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available. In
case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable
in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or
obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be
affected or impaired thereby. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if
a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would
be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant
shall not avoid the occurrence of breach of such first covenant if such action is taken. This
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Grantors
and their respective successors and assigns. No Grantor shall, without the prior written consent
of the Collateral Agent given in accordance with the Reimbursement Agreement, assign any right,
duty or obligation hereunder. This Agreement and the other Secured Documents embody the entire
agreement and understanding between the Grantors and the Collateral Agent and supersede all prior
agreements and understandings between such parties relating to the subject matter hereof and
thereof. Accordingly, the Secured Documents may not be contradicted by evidence of prior,
contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral
agreements between the parties. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and by
different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered
shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the
same instrument; signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached
to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are physically attached to the same document.
18
THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND ALL CLAIMS AND
CONTROVERSIES ARISING OUT OF THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT LAW, TORT LAW
OR OTHERWISE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS
OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE
APPLICATION OF ANY OTHER LAW
(OTHER THAN ANY MANDATORY PROVISIONS OF THE UCC RELATING TO THE LAW GOVERNING PERFECTION AND
THE EFFECT OF PERFECTION OF THE SECURITY INTEREST).
THE PROVISIONS OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT UNDER THE HEADINGS “CONSENT TO JURISDICTION” AND
“WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL” ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE AND SUCH INCORPORATION SHALL
SURVIVE ANY TERMINATION OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each Grantor and the Collateral Agent have caused this Agreement to be
duly executed and delivered by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized as of the date
first written above.
