(a) Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Type made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required.

(b) Each Borrowing shall be denominated in Dollars and comprised entirely of ABR Loans or LIBOR Loans as the Borrowers may request in accordance herewith.

53

equal to the entire unused balance of Revolving Commitments, or that is required to finance the reimbursement of a L/C Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(e). Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of ten (10) LIBOR Borrowings outstanding.

Section 2.04. Requests for Borrowings.

(vi)       the location and number of the Borrowers’ account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.06.

54

If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified with respect to a Borrowing in Dollars, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested LIBOR Borrowing, then the Borrowers shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each of the applicable Lenders of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

If requested by the Issuing Bank, the Company or the applicable Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. Following receipt of such notice and prior to the issuance of the requested Letter of Credit or the applicable amendment, renewal or extension, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company and the Issuing Bank whether such Letter of Credit may be issued under this Agreement after giving effect to (i) the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of such Letter of Credit, (ii) the issuance or expiration of any other Letter of Credit that is to be issued or will expire prior to the requested date of issuance of such Letter of Credit and (iii) the borrowing or repayment of any Loans that (based upon notices delivered to the Administrative Agent by the Company or a Borrower) are to be borrowed or repaid prior to the requested date

(d)        Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each such Revolving Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each such Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Bank, such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Applicable Percentage of each L/C Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrowers on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrowers for any reason.

If the Borrowers fail to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable L/C Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrowers in respect thereof and such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each such Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Revolving Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrowers, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Revolving Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of such Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from such Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrowers pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Revolving Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any L/C Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligation to reimburse such L/C Disbursement.

(f)         Obligations Absolute. Each Borrower’s obligation to reimburse L/C Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff

57

against, the Borrowers’ obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders nor the Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to a Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by each of the Borrowers to the extent permitted by Applicable Law) suffered by a Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g)        Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an L/C Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and Revolving Lenders with respect to any such L/C Disbursement.

(h)        Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank in respect of a Letter of Credit shall make any L/C Disbursement under such Letter of Credit, then, unless the Borrowers shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement in full on the date such L/C Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such L/C Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrowers reimburse such L/C Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Loans; provided that, if the Borrowers fail to reimburse such L/C Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then

58

Section 2.12(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i)         Replacement of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Company, the Administrative Agent and the successor Issuing Bank.

From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) such successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” and the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(j)         Cash Collateralization. If (i) any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Company receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph or (ii) any Letter of Credit is outstanding on the Termination Date, the Borrowers shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent an amount in cash for the benefit of the Lenders, equal to 103% of the total L/C Exposure (“Cash Collateralize”) as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to any Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Section 7.01. The Borrowers also shall deposit cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph as and to the extent required by Section 2.10(i). Each such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Obligations of the Borrowers. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such accounts. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrowers’ risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such accounts. Moneys in such accounts shall be (x) applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for L/C

59

Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and (y) to the extent not so applied, held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers for their L/C Exposure at such time, or applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement. If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrowers within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. If the Borrowers are required to provide cash collateral other than as a result of an occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be promptly returned to the extent that, and following such time as, after giving effect to such return: (1) the total Exposure of the Lenders does not exceed the Collateral Amount and (2) the total Exposure of the Revolving Lenders does not exceed the lesser of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments or the Revolving Borrowing Base as then in effect.

Section 2.06. Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 2:00 p.m., New York, New York time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make each such Loan available to the Borrowers by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrowers maintained with the Administrative Agent in New York, New York and designated by the Company in the applicable Borrowing Request (the “Loan Account”); provided that any ABR Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an L/C Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank.

(b)        Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Loan to be made by such Lender on the occasion of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then such Lender and the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of any Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

Section 2.07. Interest Elections. (a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a LIBOR Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrowers may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a LIBOR Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrowers may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing for all purposes hereof.

(b)        To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Company shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.04 if the Company were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Company.

(c)        Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.03 and Section 2.04:

(i)            the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii)           the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii)          whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a LIBOR Borrowing; and

(iv)          if the resulting Borrowing is a LIBOR Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

(d)        If any such Interest Election Request requests a LIBOR Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrowers shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

61

(e)        Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each affected Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(f)         If the Company fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a LIBOR Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders shall so notify the Company, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a LIBOR Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each LIBOR Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

Section 2.08. Termination or Reduction of Commitments. (a) The Borrowers may, upon irrevocable notice from the Company to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Aggregate Revolving Commitments or the Letter of Credit Sublimit or from time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitments in an aggregate amount not to exceed $75,000,000 or the Letter of Credit Sublimit; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. five Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (iii) the Borrowers shall not terminate or reduce (A) the Aggregate Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the total Exposure of the Revolving Lenders would exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments or (B) the Letter of Credit Sublimit if, after giving effect thereto, the L/C Exposure not fully Cash Collateralized in accordance with Section 2.05(j) hereunder would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit.

(b)        If, after giving effect to any reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments the Letter of Credit Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, such Letter of Credit Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess.

(c)        The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any termination or reduction of the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Aggregate Revolving Commitments under this Section 2.08. Upon any reduction of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, the Revolving Commitment of each Revolving Lender shall be reduced by such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Applicable Percentage of such reduction amount. All fees (including, without limitation, Unused Fees and Letter of Credit Fees) in respect of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, as applicable, accrued until the effective date of any

62

termination of such Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

(d)        Each notice delivered by the Company pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Company (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be permanent and may not be reinstated.

Section 2.09. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Loan made to the Borrowers and held by such Lender on the Termination Date.

(b)        Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of each Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

(c)        The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the respective Lenders and each respective Lender’s share thereof.

(d)        The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of any Borrower to repay its Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e)        Any Lender may request that Loans made by it to any Borrower or Borrowers be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, each of the Borrowers shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

63

Section 2.10. Prepayment of Loans. (a) Subject to the requirements of this Section and the payment of any amounts required under Section 2.15, each Borrower shall promptly prepay any Borrowing (or deposit such amounts) as may be required by this Agreement, together with any and all amounts required under Section 2.15.

(b)        Subject in the case of the Term Loans to Section 2.10(c), the Borrowers may, upon irrevocable notice from the Company to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty.

(c)        The Borrowers may not voluntarily prepay the Term Loans (other than in connection with a Repricing Transaction so long as the aggregate principal amount of the term loans under such Repricing Transactions is the same as the aggregate principal amount of the repaid Term Loans) until all Revolving Loans have been paid in full in cash, all L/C Exposures have been Cash Collateralized and the Revolving Commitments have been terminated. Any prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.10(c) (and any prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to a Repricing Transaction described in the immediately preceding sentence) shall be accompanied by the payment of the Term Prepayment Premium, if any is then due.

(d)        In the event and on such occasion that the total Exposure (other than with respect to the Term Loans) exceeds the lesser of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and the Revolving Borrowing Base then in effect (a “Revolving Borrowing Base Shortfall”), each of the Borrowers shall within one (1) Business Day first prepay, the Revolving Loans and second Cash Collateralize the L/C Exposure in an aggregate amount equal to such Revolving Borrowing Base Shortfall; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Exposure pursuant to this Section 2.10(d) unless after the prepayment in full of the Revolving Loans, the total Revolving Exposure exceeds the lesser of the Aggregate Revolving Commitments and the Revolving Borrowing Base; provided further that if at any time following the occurrence of a Revolving Borrowing Base Shortfall (x) such event ceases to be continuing (as a result of an increase in the Revolving Borrowing Base, the Borrowers’ prepayment of Revolving Loans or otherwise) and (y) the conditions to Borrowing set forth in Section 4.03 are otherwise satisfied with respect to a Borrowing in the amount of any remaining cash collateral deposited by the Borrowers as a result of such Revolving Borrowing Base Shortfall, the Administrative Agent shall, upon the written request of the Company, return such remaining cash collateral to the Borrowers.

(e)        In the event and on such occasion that the total Exposure exceeds the Collateral Amount (a “Collateral Amount Shortfall”), each of the Borrowers shall within one (1) Business Day first prepay the Revolving Loans and second Cash Collateralize the L/C Exposure in an aggregate amount equal to such Collateral Amount Shortfall; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall not be

64

required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Exposure pursuant to this Section 2.10(e) unless after the prepayment in full of the Revolving Loans, the total Exposure exceeds the Collateral Amount. To the extent any such Collateral Amount Shortfall remains after the prepayment and collateralization required pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Borrowers shall prepay the Term Loans in an amount equal to such remaining Collateral Amount Shortfall; provided further that if at any time following the occurrence of a Collateral Amount Shortfall (x) such event ceases to be continuing (as a result of an increase in the Collateral Amount, the Borrowers’ prepayment of Loans or otherwise) and (y) the conditions to Borrowing set forth in Section 4.03 are otherwise satisfied with respect to a Borrowing in the amount of any remaining cash collateral deposited by the Borrowers as a result of such Collateral Amount Shortfall, the Administrative Agent shall, upon the written request of the Company, promptly return any remaining cash collateral deposited by the Borrowers as a result of such Collateral Amount Shortfall to the Borrowers.

(f)         At any time that any Loans are outstanding, in the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of any Loan Party in respect of any Prepayment Event, such Loan Party shall, within one (1) Business Day after such Net Proceeds are received, prepay Borrowings in an aggregate amount equal to such Net Proceeds.

(g)        The Company shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a LIBOR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York, New York time, three (3) Business Days before the date of prepayment or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York, New York time, on the date of prepayment; provided that the Company shall be deemed to have given a timely notice of prepayment for the prepayment on each Business Day set forth in Section 2.10(j). Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment; provided that, if a notice of optional prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.08, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.08. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the relevant Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.03, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.12.

(h)        Each prepayment shall be applied to the applicable Loans of the applicable Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages.

65

(i)         Subject to the provisions of Section 7.03, mandatory prepayments made pursuant to this Section 2.10 (other than paragraphs (d) and (e)), first, shall be applied ratably to the outstanding Revolving Loans, second, shall be used to Cash Collateralize the remaining L/C Exposure, third, shall, to the extent permitted or required in this Section 2.10, be applied ratably to the outstanding Term Loans, and, fourth, the amount remaining, if any, after the prepayment in full of all Loans outstanding at such time and the Cash Collateralization of the remaining L/C Exposure in full may be retained by the Borrowers for use in the ordinary course of business. Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit that has been Cash Collateralized, the funds held as cash collateral shall be applied (without any further action by or notice to or from the Borrowers or any other Loan Party) to reimburse the Issuing Bank or the Lenders, as applicable.

(j)         On each Business Day, all amounts collected in (x) prior to the occurrence of the Cash Dominion Implementation Date, all DDAs and securities accounts of the Loan Parties (other than the Excluded Accounts and Disbursement Accounts) and (y) from and after the Cash Dominion Implementation Date, the Primary Concentration Account shall, in either case, be applied to the repayment of Loans in accordance with (and subject to) Section 2.10(i) above.

(k)        Any prepayment of Loans hereunder to be made with the proceeds from the incurrence of any Indebtedness may state that such prepayment is conditioned on the effectiveness of other debt facilities or instruments, and no Default or Event of Default shall occur if such prepayment is not made because such condition is not satisfied.

Section 2.11. Fees. (a) The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the fees and other charges payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent.

(b)        The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender, in accordance with its Revolving Applicable Percentage, a fee, calculated on the basis of a 360 day year and actual days elapsed, equal to 0.50% per annum times the actual daily amount by which the then Aggregate Revolving Commitments exceed the sum of (A) the principal amount of Revolving Loans, then outstanding, and (B) the then L/C Exposure. The foregoing fee (the “Unused Fee”) shall accrue at all times during the L/C Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the first Business Day of each month commencing with the first such date to occur after the Effective Date, and on the last day of the L/C Availability Period. The Unused Fee shall be calculated monthly in arrears.

(c)        The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, on the first Business Day of each month in arrears, a fee calculated on the basis of a 360 day year and actual days elapsed (each, a “Letter

66

of Credit Fee”), equal to the then Applicable Margin for Revolving LIBOR Loans of the average Stated Amount of Letters of Credit outstanding during the monthly period then ended.

(d)        The Borrowers shall pay directly to the applicable Issuing Bank for its own account a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, at a rate equal to one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) per annum, computed on the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit. Such fronting fees shall be due and payable on the first Business Day of each month in arrears on the basis of a 360 day year and actual days elapsed, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the expiration date of such Letter of Credit and thereafter on demand. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of the Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.06. The Borrowers shall pay to the applicable Issuing Bank, in addition to all Letter of Credit Fees otherwise provided for hereunder, the reasonable and customary fees, costs and charges of such Issuing Bank in connection with the transfer, cancellation, issuance, negotiation, settlement, amendment and processing of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

(e)        All fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for the respective accounts of the Administrative and other Lenders as provided herein. Once due, all fees shall be fully earned and shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

Section 2.12. Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(b)        The Loans comprising each LIBOR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.

(c)        Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Specified Default upon delivery of notice thereof by the Administrative Agent, principal or interest on any Loan shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, two percent (2.0%) plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 2.12 and (ii) in the case of any other amounts, two percent (2.0%) plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section 2.12.

(d)        Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and upon termination of the Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 2.12 shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan of any Lender (other than a prepayment of an ABR Loan prior to the

67

end of the Revolving Availability Period with respect to such Lender), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any LIBOR Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(e)        All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days (or 365/366 days in the case of ABR Loans), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 2.13. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a LIBOR Borrowing:

(a)        the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or

(b)        the Administrative Agent is advised by a majority in interest of the affected Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Company and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent thereafter notify the Company and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a LIBOR Borrowing shall be ineffective and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a LIBOR Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.

Section 2.14. Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i)         impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or the Issuing Bank;

(ii)        impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement, any Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or

(iii)       subject any Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes or (B) Other

68

Connection Taxes on gross or net income, profits or revenue (including value-added or similar Taxes)) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Company will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b)        If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Company will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c)        A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Company and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Company shall pay such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d)        Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Company shall not be required to compensate a Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Company of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to

69

such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

Section 2.15. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any LIBOR Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of the acceleration of the Obligations upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.10), (b) the conversion of any LIBOR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.10(g) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any LIBOR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by a Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18, then, in any such event, such Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a LIBOR Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrowers and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

Section 2.16. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the relevant Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all such required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the relevant Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the relevant Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

(b)        In addition, each of the Borrowers shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

70

(c)        Each of the Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the relevant Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified 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, along with a reasonably detailed explanation of the tax issue, delivered to a Borrower by a Lender or Issuing Bank, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)        Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent for any Taxes (but, in the case of any Indemnified Taxes, only to the extent that the Borrowers have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so) attributable to each Lender that are paid or payable by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The indemnity under this Section 2.16(d) shall be paid within ten (10) days after the Administrative Agent delivers to the applicable Lender a certificate stating the amount of Taxes so paid or payable by the Administrative Agent. The certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error.

(e)        As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by any Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the relevant Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(f)         (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, any applicable withholding Tax with respect to any payments under the Loan Documents shall deliver to any Borrower and to the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the relevant Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the relevant Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by law or reasonably requested by the relevant Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the relevant Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not the Lender is subject to any withholding (including backup

71

withholding) or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.16(f)(ii)(A) through (E) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject the Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense (or, in the case of a Change in Law, any incremental material unreimbursed cost or expense) or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of the Lender. Upon the reasonable request of the relevant Borrower or the Administrative Agent, any Lender shall update any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.16(f). If any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect with respect to a Lender, the Lender shall promptly (and in any event within ten (10) days after such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy) notify such Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy and update the form or certification if it is legally eligible to do so.

(ii)        Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Lender with respect to each Borrower shall, if it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies reasonably requested by that Borrower and the Administrative Agent) on or prior to the date on which the Lender becomes a party hereto, duly completed and executed copies of whichever of the following is applicable:

(A)       in the case of a Lender that is a U.S. Person, IRS Form W-9 certifying that the Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding;

(B)       in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (1) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (2) with respect to any other applicable payments under this Agreement, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(C)       in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender for whom payments under this Agreement constitute income that is effectively connected with the Lender’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States, IRS Form W-8ECI;

(D)       in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section

72

881(c) of the Code, both (1) IRS Form W-8BEN and (2) a certificate to the effect that the Lender is not (w) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (x) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, (y) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code or (z) conducting a trade or business in the United States with which the relevant interest payments are effectively connected;

Solely for purposes of this Section 2.16(f)(iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(g) If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or Issuing Bank becomes aware that it is entitled to claim a refund from a Governmental Authority in respect of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Borrower, or with respect to which a Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16, it shall promptly notify the relevant Borrower of the availability of such refund claim and shall, within 30 days after receipt of a request by the relevant Borrower, make a claim to such Governmental Authority for such refund at the relevant Borrower’s expense. If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or Issuing Bank receives a refund (including pursuant to a claim for a refund made pursuant to the preceding sentence) in respect of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Borrower in which the relevant Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16, it shall within 30 days from the date of such receipt pay over the refund to the relevant Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the relevant Borrower under this Section 2.16 with respect to Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to the refund), net of all out of pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, the Lender or Issuing Bank and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to the refund); provided, however, that such Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the relevant Borrower (plus penalties, interest and other charges, including the reasonable fees and expenses of the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent) to the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank if the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.

(h) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement contained herein, the agreements and obligations contained in this Section 2.16 shall survive the payment in full of the principal of and interest on all Loans and L/C Disbursements made hereunder.

(i) Nothing contained in this Section 2.16 shall require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank to make available any of its tax returns (or any other information that it deems, in its sole discretion, to be confidential or proprietary).

Section 2.17. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs. (a) Each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees, reimbursement of L/C Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16, or otherwise) prior to the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 2:00 p.m., New York, New York time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the

74

Administrative Agent at its offices at 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments under each Loan Document shall be made in Dollars.

(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed L/C Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder in respect of Obligations, then such funds shall be applied in the order and manner set forth in Section 7.03.

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in L/C Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in L/C Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to a Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under Applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against any Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Borrower prior to the date on which any payment by such Borrower is due to the

75

Administrative Agent for the account of any of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the applicable Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of such Lenders or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

Section 2.18. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender (including for this purpose an Issuing Bank) requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if a Borrower is required to pay any additional amount or indemnification payment to any Lender, the Administrative Agent, or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. Each of the Borrowers hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if a Borrower is required to pay any additional amount or indemnification payment to any Lender, the Administrative Agent, or to any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, or if any Lender is a Delinquent Lender, then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Company shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such

76

assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment will result in a material reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Section 2.19. Designation of Company as Each Borrowers’ Agent. (a) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company as such Borrower’s agent and attorney-in-fact to obtain Loans and Letters of Credit, the proceeds of which shall be available to each Borrower for such uses as are permitted under this Agreement. As the disclosed principal for its agent, each Borrower shall be obligated to the Administrative Agent and each Lender on account of Loans so made and Letters of Credit so issued as if made directly by the Lenders to such Borrower, notwithstanding the manner by which such Loans and Letters of Credit are recorded on the books and records of the Company and of any other Borrower.

(b) Each Borrower represents to the Credit Parties that it is an integral part of a consolidated enterprise, and that each Loan Party will receive direct and indirect benefits from the availability of the joint credit facility provided for herein, and from the ability to access the collective credit resources of the consolidated enterprise which the Loan Parties comprise. Each Borrower recognizes that credit available to it hereunder is in excess of and on better terms than it otherwise could obtain on and for its own account and that one of the reasons therefor is its joining in the credit facility contemplated herein with all other Borrowers. Consequently, each Borrower hereby assumes and agrees to discharge all Obligations of each of the other Borrowers as if such Borrower which is so assuming and agreeing were each of the other Borrowers.

(c) The Company shall act as a conduit for each Borrower (including itself, as a Borrower) on whose behalf the Company has requested a Loan. None of the Agents nor any other Credit Party shall have any obligation to see to the application of such proceeds.

(d) The authority of the Company to request Loans and Letters of Credit on behalf of, and to bind, the Borrowers, shall continue unless and until the Administrative Agent actually receives written notice of: (i) the termination of such authority; (ii) the subsequent appointment of a successor Company, which notice is signed by the respective Financial Officers of each Borrower; and (iii) written notice from such successive Company accepting such appointment and acknowledging that from and after the date of such appointment, the newly appointed Company shall be bound by the terms hereof, and that as used herein, the term “Company” shall mean and include the newly appointed Company.

(iii) pursuant to Section 364(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, shall at all times be secured by a perfected first priority priming lien on all real, personal, tangible and intangible property of the Loan Parties subject to an existing lien securing any outstanding debt under the Prepetition Credit Facilities;

(iv) pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Prepetition Intercreditor Agreement (and, to the extent applicable, Section 364(d) of the Bankruptcy Code), shall be secured by a perfected first priority priming Lien on all real, personal, tangible and intangible property of the Loan Parties subject to a Lien securing the Prepetition Secured Notes; and

(v) pursuant to Section 364(c)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be secured by a perfected junior Lien upon all real, personal, tangible and intangible property of the Loan Parties’ respective estates in the Cases that is subject to valid, perfected and non-avoidable Liens in existence on the Petition Date or to valid Liens in existence on the Petition Date that are perfected subsequent to the Petition Date as permitted by Section 546(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, in each case other than the Liens securing the Prepetition Credit Facilities and Prepetition Secured Notes;

78

subject in the case of each of the proceeding paragraphs, only to the Carve Out, and, in each case, as set forth in the Orders (the property set forth in clauses (ii) — (v) above, the “Collateral”).

Section 2.21. Payment of Obligations. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.02, upon the maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of any of the Obligations of the Loan Parties under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the Lenders shall be entitled to immediate payment of such Obligations without further application to or order of the Bankruptcy Court.

Section 2.22. No Discharge; Survival of Claims. Each Loan Party agrees that (a) its obligations hereunder shall not be discharged by the entry of an order confirming a Reorganization Plan (and each Loan Party, pursuant to Section 1141(d)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code, hereby waives any such discharge) and (b) the Superpriority Claim granted to the Collateral Agent and the Lenders pursuant to the Orders and described in Section 2.20(i) and the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Orders and described in Sections 2.20(ii), (iii) and (iv) shall not be affected in any manner by the entry of an order confirming a Reorganization Plan other than the discharge and release of such Liens and upon payment in full in cash of the Obligations (including Cash Collateralization of Letters of Credit) as provided for herein.

The Company agrees not to effect or permit any change referred to in the preceding sentence unless all filings have been made under the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise that are required in order for the Collateral Agent to continue at all times following such change to have a valid, legal and perfected security interest in all of the Collateral.

Section 5.04. Existence; Conduct of Business. The Company will, and will cause each of the Subsidiaries to, do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its legal existence and the rights, licenses, permits, privileges, franchises, patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade names material to the conduct of its business, taken as a whole; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit any merger, consolidation, liquidation or dissolution permitted under Section 6.03.

Section 5.06. Maintenance of Properties. The Company will, and will cause each of the Subsidiaries to, keep and maintain all property material to the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted.

(a) The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to: (i) maintain insurance with financially sound and reputable insurers reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent on such of its property and in at least such amounts and against at least such risks as is customary with companies in the same or similar businesses operating in the same or similar locations, including public liability insurance against claims for personal injury or death occurring upon, in or about or in connection with the use of any properties owned, occupied or controlled by it including the insurance required pursuant to the Security Documents; (ii) maintain such other insurance as may be required by law; and (iii) upon request by the Administrative Agent, which request need not be made in writing, furnish the Administrative Agent with certificates evidencing the insurance required by this paragraph. In the event of the Company’s or Loan Parties’ failure to obtain or maintain the insurance required by this paragraph, without waiving any Event of Default occasioned thereby, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to obtain the required coverage and invoice the Company for the premium payments therefor. To the extent consistent with prudent business practice, the Company may maintain a program of self-insurance in place of any of the insurance required by this paragraph.

(b)        Fire and extended coverage policies with respect to any Collateral (i) shall not include a provision to the effect that any of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or any other party shall be a coinsurer and (ii) shall be endorsed, which endorsement shall be satisfactory in form and substance to the Collateral Agent, to name the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, as additional insured or loss payee, as appropriate, and shall include such other provisions as the Collateral Agent may reasonably require from time to time to protect the interests of the Lenders, provided that the requested provisions are available at reasonable cost. Each such policy referred to in this paragraph also shall provide that it shall not be cancelled, terminated or not renewed (x) by reason of nonpayment of premium except upon not less than 10 days’ prior written notice thereof by the insurer to the Collateral Agent (giving the Collateral

96

Agent the right to cure defaults in the payment of premiums) or (y) for any other reason except upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice thereof by the insurer to the Collateral Agent.  The Borrowers shall not permit the deductible, coverage limit or other terms of each such policy to be modified if the policy would thereafter cease to comply with Section 5.07(a) of this Agreement.  The Borrowers shall deliver to the Collateral Agent, prior to the cancellation of any such policy of insurance, a Certificate of Insurance for the replacement policy.

(c)        If at any time the area in which any Eligible Real Estate or Eligible Leaseholds are located is designated (i) a “flood hazard area” in any Flood Insurance Rate Map published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (or any successor agency), the Borrowers shall obtain flood insurance in such total amount as is reasonable and customary for companies engaged in the business of operating supermarkets, and otherwise comply with the National Flood Insurance Program as set forth in the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended from time to time, or (ii) a “Zone 1” area, the Borrower shall obtain earthquake insurance in such total amount as is reasonable and customary for companies engaged in the business of operating supermarkets.

(d)        The Company and the Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that all income, payments and proceeds of a physical damage property insurance claim payable to them and relating to the Collateral will be received by the Company and the Loan Parties as agent hereunder for the benefit of the Lenders and, from and after the Cash Dominion Implementation Date, deposited in an account subject to a Blocked Account Agreement. Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any insurance proceeds for which it is loss payee for the benefit of the Secured Parties to be made available to the Borrowers as promptly as practicable after receipt thereof by the Collateral Agent for application as required or otherwise permitted by the Loan Documents. The Company and the Loan Parties disclaim any right, title or interest in or to such income, payments or proceeds and hereby confirm that the Company and the Loan Parties have granted a first priority security interest to the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Lenders) in all such income, payments and proceeds.

(e)        The Company shall continue to maintain, for itself and its subsidiaries, a Directors and Officers insurance policy, and a “Blanket Crime” policy including employee dishonesty, forgery or alteration, theft, disappearance and destruction, robbery and safe burglary, property, and computer fraud coverage with responsible companies in such amounts as are customarily carried by business entities engaged in similar businesses similarly situated, and will upon request by the Administrative Agent, which request need not be made in writing, furnish the Administrative Agent certificates evidencing renewal of each such policy.

Section 5.08. Casualty and Condemnation. The Borrowers (a) will furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender (through the Administrative Agent)

97

prompt written notice of any casualty or other insured damage to any material portion of any Collateral or the commencement of any action or proceeding for the taking of any Collateral or any part thereof or interest therein under power of eminent domain or by condemnation or similar proceeding and (b) will ensure that the Net Proceeds of any such event (whether in the form of insurance proceeds or otherwise) are collected and applied in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement and the Security Documents.

Section 5.09. Books and Records; Inspection and Audit Rights. (a) The Company will keep proper financial records in accordance with GAAP.

(k)        Any amounts received in the Primary Concentration Account at any time when all of the Obligations have been and remain fully repaid shall be remitted to the Borrowers, if and as the Company may request.

(l)         The following shall apply to deposits and payments under and pursuant to this Agreement:

Without limiting the foregoing, no Agent or any of its respective directors, officers, employees, or agents shall be: (i) responsible to any other Credit Party for the due execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness, sufficiency, or enforceability of, or for any recital, statement, warranty or representation in, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement, document or order; (ii) required to ascertain or to make any inquiry concerning the performance or observance by any Loan Party of any of the terms, conditions, covenants, or agreements of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents; (iii) responsible to any other Credit Party for the state or condition of any properties of the Loan Parties or any other obligor hereunder constituting Collateral for the Obligations or any information contained in the books or records of the Loan Parties; (iv) responsible to any other Credit Party for the validity, enforceability, collectability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other certificate, document or instrument furnished in

(b)        The Agents may execute any of their duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through its agents or attorneys-in-fact, and shall be entitled to the advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to its rights and duties hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. The Agents shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

(c)        None of the Agents nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees, or agents shall have any responsibility to any Loan Party on account of the failure or delay in performance or breach by any other Credit Party (other than by each such Agent in its capacity as a Lender) of any of its respective obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or in connection herewith or therewith.

(d)        The Agents shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, or other document or writing believed by them to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person or persons, and upon the advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without, limitation, counsel to the Loan Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by any Loan Party or any Credit Party. The Agents shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless they shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the requisite percentage of the Lenders as it deems appropriate or they shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the other Credit Parties against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by them by reason of the taking or failing to take any such action.

Section 8.05. Notice of Default. The Agents shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless such Agent has actual knowledge of the same or has received notice from a Credit Party or Loan Party referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that an Agent obtains such actual knowledge or receives such a notice, such Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to each of the other Credit Parties. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall (subject to the provisions of Section 9.02) take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders. Unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to any such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Credit Parties. In no event shall the Administrative Agent be required to comply with any such

124

directions to the extent that the Administrative Agent believes that its compliance with such directions would be unlawful.

Section 8.06. Credit Decisions. Each Credit Party (other than the Agents) acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Credit Party, and based on the financial statements prepared by the Loan Parties and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and investigation into the business, assets, operations, property, and financial and other condition of the Loan Parties and has made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Credit Party (other than the Agents) also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Credit Party, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in determining whether or not conditions precedent to closing any Loan hereunder have been satisfied and in taking or not taking any action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 8.07. Reimbursement and Indemnification. Each Credit Party (other than the Agents in such capacity) agrees to (i) reimburse the Agents and their Affiliates for such Credit Party’s Applicable Percentage of (A) any expenses and fees incurred by any Agent for the benefit of Credit Parties under this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, counsel fees and compensation of agents and employees paid for services rendered on behalf of the Credit Parties, and any other expense incurred in connection with the operations or enforcement thereof not reimbursed by the Loan Parties and (B) any expenses of any Agent incurred for the benefit of the Credit Parties that the Loan Parties have agreed to reimburse pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document and have failed to so reimburse and (ii) indemnify and hold harmless each Agent and any of its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, or agents, on demand, in the amount of such Credit Party’s Applicable Percentage, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against it or any Credit Party in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by it or any of them under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to the extent not reimbursed by the Loan Parties, including, without limitation, costs of any suit initiated by any Agent against any Credit Party (except such as shall have been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Agent); provided, however, that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against such Credit Party in its capacity as such. The provisions of this Section 8.07 shall survive the repayment of the Obligations and the termination of the Commitments.

125

Section 8.08. Rights of Agents. It is understood and agreed that the Agents shall have the same rights and powers hereunder (including the right to give such instructions) as the other Lenders and may exercise such rights and powers, as well as their rights and powers under other agreements and instruments to which they are or may be party, and engage in other transactions with the Loan Parties, as though they were not the Agents. Each Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of commercial or investment banking, trust, advisory or other business with the Loan Parties and their Affiliates as if it were not an Agent hereunder.

Section 8.09. Notice of Transfer. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat a Lender party to this Agreement as the owner of such Lender’s portion of the Obligations for all purposes, unless and until, and except to the extent, an Assignment and Acceptance shall have become effective as set forth in Section 9.04.

Section 8.10. Successor Agents. Any Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) Business Days’ written notice thereof to the other Credit Parties and the Company. Upon any such resignation of an Agent, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent, which, so long as there is no Event of Default, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company (whose consent in any event shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and/or none shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the other Credit Parties, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a Person capable of complying with all of the duties of such Agent hereunder (in the opinion of the retiring Agent and as certified to the other Credit Parties in writing by such successor Agent) which, so long as there is no Event of Default, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company (whose consent shall not in any event be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement.

After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as such Agent, the provisions of this Article VIII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was such Agent under this Agreement.

Section 8.11. Relation Among the Lenders. The Lenders are not partners or co-venturers, and no Lender shall be liable for the acts or omissions of, or (except as otherwise set forth herein in case of any Agent) authorized to act for, any other Lender.

Section 8.12. Reports And Financial Statements. By signing this Agreement, each Lender:

126

(1) agrees to furnish the Administrative Agent on the Effective Date and on the first day of each month with a summary of all Other Liabilities due or to become due to such Lender, the calculation of the amount of such Other Liabilities for purposes of determining Reserves shall be subject to the reasonable approval of the Administrative Agent; in connection with any distributions to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume that no amounts are due to any Lender on account of Other Liabilities unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice thereof from such Lender;

(2) is deemed to have requested that the Administrative Agent furnish such Lender, promptly after they become available, copies of all financial statements required to be delivered by the Company hereunder (including, without limitation, those described in Sections 5.01(a) through (d) hereof) and all commercial finance examinations and appraisals of the Collateral received by the Administrative Agent (collectively, the “Reports”);

(3) expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Administrative Agent (i) makes no representation or warranty as to the accuracy of the Reports, and (ii) shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report;

(4) expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, that the Administrative Agent or any other party performing any audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding the Loan Parties and will rely significantly upon the Loan Parties’ books and records, as well as on representations of the Loan Parties’ personnel;

(5) agrees to keep all Reports confidential in accordance with Section 9.12; and

(6) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, agrees: (i) to hold the Administrative Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless from any action the indemnifying Lender may take or conclusion the indemnifying Lender may reach or draw from any Report in connection with any Credit Extensions that the indemnifying Lender has made or may make to the Borrowers, or the indemnifying Lender’s participation in, or the indemnifying Lender’s purchase of, a Loan or Loans of the Borrowers; and (ii) to pay and protect, and indemnify, defend, and hold the Administrative Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including attorney

127

costs) incurred by the Administrative Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender.

Section 8.13. Agency for Perfection. Each Lender hereby appoints each other Lender as agent for the purpose of perfecting Liens for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders, in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC or any other Applicable Law of the United States of America can be perfected only by possession. Should any Lender (other than an Agent) obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Administrative Agent’s request therefor, shall deliver such Collateral to the Collateral Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Collateral Agent’s instructions.

Section 8.14. Delinquent Lender. (a) If for any reason any Lender with a Commitment shall (x) fail or refuse to abide by its obligations under this Agreement, including without limitation its obligation to make available to Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of any Loans, fees, expenses or setoff or purchase its Applicable Percentage of a participation interest in the L/C Exposure or (y) have notified the Borrower or any other Loan Party in writing, or made a public statement to the effect, that it does not intend or expect to comply with any of its funding obligations under this Agreement or any other syndicated credit facility (a “Delinquent Lender”) and such failure is not cured within ten (10) days of receipt from the Administrative Agent of written notice thereof, then, in addition to the rights and remedies that may be available to the other Credit Parties, the Loan Parties or any other party at law or in equity, and not at limitation thereof, (i) such Delinquent Lender’s right to participate in the administration of, or decision-making rights related to, the Obligations, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be suspended during the pendency of such failure or refusal and the Exposure and unused Commitments of any Delinquent Lender shall be excluded for purposes of making a determination of Required Lenders, (ii) a Delinquent Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments due to it from the Loan Parties, whether on account of outstanding Loans, interest, fees or otherwise, to the remaining non-delinquent Lenders with a Commitment for application to, and reduction of, their proportionate shares of all outstanding Obligations until, as a result of application of such assigned payments such Lenders’ respective Applicable Percentages of all outstanding Obligations shall have returned to those in effect immediately prior to such delinquency and without giving effect to the nonpayment causing such delinquency and (iii) at the option of the Administrative Agent, any amount payable to such Delinquent Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Delinquent Lender, be retained by the Administrative Agent as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Delinquent Lender in respect of any Loan or existing or future participating interest in any Letter of Credit. The Delinquent Lender’s

128

decision-making and participation rights and rights to payments as set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) hereinabove shall be restored only upon the payment by the Delinquent Lender of its Applicable Percentage of any Obligations, any participation obligation, or expenses as to which it is delinquent, together with interest thereon at the rate set forth in Section 2.12(c) hereof from the date when originally due until the date upon which any such amounts are actually paid.

(b)        The Company or the Administrative Agent shall also have the right, but not the obligation, in their respective, sole and absolute discretion, to cause the termination and assignment, without any further action by a Delinquent Lender or Deteriorating Lender, for no cash consideration (pro rata, based on the respective Commitments of those Lenders electing to exercise such right), of a Delinquent Lender’s or Deteriorating Lender’s Commitment to fund future Loans or participations in Letters of Credit. Upon any such purchase of the Applicable Percentage of any Delinquent Lender or Deteriorating Lender, the Delinquent Lender’s or Deteriorating Lender’s share in future Credit Extensions and its rights under the Loan Documents with respect thereto shall terminate on the date of purchase, and the Delinquent Lender or Deteriorating Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest, including, if so requested, an Assignment and Acceptance; provided that such termination and assignment will not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may have against such Delinquent Lender or Deteriorating Lender.

(c)        Each Delinquent Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each non-Delinquent Lender from and against any and all loss, damage or expenses, including but not limited to reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and funds advanced by the Administrative Agent or by any non-Delinquent Lender, on account of a Delinquent Lender’s failure to timely fund its Applicable Percentage of a Loan or to otherwise perform its obligations under the Loan Documents.

(d)        Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Revolving Lender becomes a Delinquent Lender or a Deteriorating Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Delinquent Lender or Deteriorating Lender:

(i)    fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Delinquent Lender or Deteriorating Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(b);

(ii)   if any L/C Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a Delinquent Lender or Deteriorating Lender then:

(A)            all or any part of the L/C Exposure of such Delinquent Lender or Deteriorating Lender shall be reallocated among the Revolving Lenders that are not Delinquent Lenders and

129

not Deteriorating Lenders (the “Performing Lenders”) in accordance with their respective Applicable Revolving Percentages but only to the extent the sum of all Performing Lenders’ Revolving Exposures plus such Delinquent Lender’s or Deteriorating Lender’s L/C Exposure does not exceed the total of all Performing Lenders’ Revolving Commitments;

(B)            if the reallocation described in clause (A) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent Cash Collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Bank only the Borrowers’ obligations corresponding to such Delinquent Lender’s or Deteriorating Lender’s L/C Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (A) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.05(j) for so long as such L/C Exposure is outstanding;

(C)            if the Borrowers Cash Collateralize any portion of such Delinquent Lender’s or Deteriorating Lender’s L/C Exposure pursuant to clause (B) above, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fees to such Delinquent Lender or Deteriorating Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(c) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure during the period such Delinquent Lender’s or Deteriorating Lender’s L/C Exposure is Cash Collateralized;

(D)            if the L/C Exposure of the Performing Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (A) above, then the fees payable to the Revolving Lenders pursuant to Section 2.11(b) and 2.11(c) shall be adjusted in accordance with such Performing Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; and

(E)             if all or any portion of such Delinquent Lender’s or Deteriorating Lender’s L/C Exposure is neither reallocated nor Cash Collateralized pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Delinquent Lender or Deteriorating Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(b) (solely with respect to the portion of such Delinquent Lender’s or Deteriorating Lender’s Commitment that was utilized by such L/C Exposure) and letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.11(c) with respect to such Delinquent Lender’s or Deteriorating Lender’s L/C Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until and to the extent that such L/C Exposure is reallocated and/or Cash Collateralized.

130

(iii)          so long as such Lender is a Delinquent Lender or Deteriorating Lender, the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Delinquent Lender’s or Deteriorating Lender’s then outstanding L/C Exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the Performing Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.05(j), and any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among Performing Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 8.14(d)(ii)(A) (and such Delinquent Lender or Deteriorating Lender shall not participate therein).

Section 8.15. Collateral and Guaranty Matters. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 8.14(b), the Lenders and the Issuing Bank irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent,

(i)            to release or direct the Collateral Agent to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (A) upon termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit, (B) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document or (C) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 9.02;

(ii)           to release any Loan Party from its obligations under the Loan Documents if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder; and

(iii)          to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 6.02.

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s or the Collateral Agent’s authority, as applicable, to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Loan Party from its obligations under the Loan Documents pursuant to this Section 8.15. In each case as specified in this Section 8.15, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent will, at the Company’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Security Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Loan Party from its obligations under the Loan Documents, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 8.15.

reduce the principal amount of any Loan or unreimbursed L/C Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan under Section 2.09 or the required date of reimbursement of any L/C Disbursement, or any date for the payment of any interest or fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) change Sections 2.17(b), 2.17(c) or 7.03, without the written consent of each Lender, (v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the percentage set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender, (vi) directly or indirectly, whether by amendment, waiver or otherwise add additional categories of assets to the Collateral Amount (e.g. intellectual property) without the written consent of each Lender, (vii) increase the total Commitments, without the written consent of each Lender, (viii) release any Loan Party from its Guarantee under the Guaranty (except as expressly provided in the Guaranty), or limit its liability in respect of such Guaranty, without the written consent of each Lender or (ix) release all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents (except with respect to sales or transfers of, and other transactions relating to, Collateral permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents), without the written consent of each Lender; provided further that no such agreement shall (x) directly or indirectly (1) increase any of the advance rates contained in the Revolving Borrowing Base or add additional categories of assets to the Revolving Borrowing Base (e.g. intellectual property), without the written consent of (I) each Revolving Lender and (II) Lenders holding a majority of the outstanding Term Loans, (2) change any other provisions of the definitions of “Revolving Borrowing Base” in a manner adverse to the interests of the Revolving Lenders or in a manner that would make more credit available to the Borrowers under the Revolving Borrowing Base, without the written consent of (I) the Super-Majority Revolving Lenders and (II) Lenders holding a majority of the outstanding Term Loans or (3) change any provisions relating to the conditions precedent to the payment or prepayment of the Revolving Loans, the reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, or the conditions to the making of Revolving Loans under Section 2.01 hereof without the written consent of the Super-Majority Revolving Lenders, (y) amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank or the Collateral Agent without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be or (z) amend Section 6.12, 6.13 or 6.14 or any definitions used therein, the definition of “Collateral Amount” (other than adding additional categories of assets thereto) and the defined terms used therein or the definition of “Excess Availability” without the prior written consent of (1) Revolving Lenders holding a majority of the Revolving Exposure and unused

135

Revolving Commitments and (2) Lenders holding a majority of the outstanding Term Loans.

(c)        If any Lender refuses to consent to any amendment or modification to or waiver of any Loan Document requested by the Company that requires the consent of all Lenders or all affected Lenders in accordance with this Section 9.02, and such amendment, modification or waiver is consented to by the applicable Required Lenders (a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Non-Consenting Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that such Non-Consenting Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts).

Section 9.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to pay (i) all reasonable and documented expenses (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses incurred in connection with any field examination and any appraisal of any of the Collateral, any environmental reviews, and the reasonable fees and documented expenses of other advisors and professionals engaged by the Administrative Agent or the Lead Arranger in consultation with the Company) incurred by any Agent, the Lead Arranger and their respective Affiliates, including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of one primary counsel designated by the Administrative Agent (and appropriate local counsel in applicable local jurisdictions, but limited to one local counsel in each such jurisdiction) for the Agents and the Lead Arranger, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of the Loan Documents or any amendments, supplements, modifications or waivers of the provisions thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket and documented expenses (including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Agents, the Issuing Bank and/or any Lender) incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all out-of-pocket and documented expenses incurred by any Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel or other professional consultants for any Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of their rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including their rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of

136

Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel or other professional consultants for any Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender) incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit; provided that the Agents, Issuing Banks and Lenders shall be entitled to reimbursement for no more than one counsel representing all such parties as designated by the Administrative Agent (and appropriate local counsel in applicable local jurisdictions, but limited to one local counsel in each such jurisdiction, as designated by the Administrative Agent) (absent a conflict of interest in which case the Agents, Issuing Bank and Lenders who are similarly situated may engage and be reimbursed for additional counsel).

(b)        The Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify the Agents, the Lead Arranger, the Issuing Bank and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless (on an after tax basis) from, any and all losses, claims, causes of action, damages, liabilities, settlement payments, costs and related expenses, including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties to the Loan Documents of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related to the operations of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or related expenses (A) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, (B) relate to Hazardous Materials that first arise at any property owned by a Borrower after such property is transferred to any Indemnitee or its successors and assigns by foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or similar transfer or (C) arise from a dispute solely among Indemnitees, other than (x) any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or costs incurred by or asserted against any Agent, the Lead Arranger or the Issuing Bank acting in such capacity or fulfilling such role or any similar role under this Agreement or any Loan Document, and (y) any losses, claims, damages,

137

liabilities or costs arising out of any act or omission on the part of the Company or its Subsidiaries.

(c)        To the extent that the Borrowers fail to pay any amount required to be paid by them to any Agent, the Lead Arranger or the Issuing Bank under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lead Arranger or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lead Arranger or the Issuing Bank in its capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its Applicable Percentage.

(d)        To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, none of the Borrowers shall assert, and each of the Borrowers hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(e)        All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor.

(f)         For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 9.03 shall not apply to Tax matters, which shall be governed exclusively by Section 2.16.

Section 9.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.04(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.04(d) or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 9.04(f) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). 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, Participants to the extent provided in Section 9.04(d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Credit Parties) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

138

(b)        Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment(s) and the Loans (including for purposes of this Section 9.04(b), participations in L/C Exposure) 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 Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B)            in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Acceptance, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000, in the case of a Revolving Commitment, and $1,000,000, in the case of a Term Loan, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met;

(ii)          Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment by a Revolving Lender 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 such Lender’s Revolving Commitment;

(iii)         Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:

(A)       the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be

139

required for assignments except in respect of any Term Loan if such assignment is to a Person that is a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund of such Lender; and

(B)        the consent of the Issuing Bank (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding).

(iv)        Assignment and Acceptance. The parties to each assignment (other than assignments by a Lender to its Affiliate or an Approved Fund of such Lender or pursuant to Sections 2.18 or 9.04(f)) shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, 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 Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance 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 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, the Borrowers (at their expense) shall execute and deliver a promissory 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 Section 9.04(d).

(c)        Register. (i) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal and interest amounts of the Loans and L/C Obligations 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 Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender

140

hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(ii)          Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.04(b) and any written consent to such assignment required by Section 9.04(b), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Assignment unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(d)        Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Loan Parties or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Loan Parties or any of the Loan Parties’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations) owing to it); provided that (x) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (y) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (z) the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank 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 the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, supplement, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to Section 9.04(c), each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 (subject to the requirements and limitations of such Sections) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 9.04(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17(c) as though it were a Lender.

(e)        Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.14 or 2.16 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 Company’s prior written consent. A Participant that

141

would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 unless the Company is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 2.16(f) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register in the United States on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. 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)         Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time grant, pledge, hypothecate or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its promissory note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any grant, pledge, hypothecation or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and none of the restrictions or conditions set forth in this Section 9.04 related to any grant, pledge, hypothecation or assignment shall apply to any such grant, pledge, hypothecation or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such grant, pledge, hypothecation or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such grantee, pledgee, hypothecatee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(g)        Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Acceptance 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.

(h)        Resignation as Issuing Bank after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time JPMorgan Chase Bank assigns all of its Commitments and Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, JPMorgan Chase Bank may, upon 30 days’ notice to the Company and the

142

Lenders, resign as Issuing Bank. In the event of any such resignation as Issuing Bank, the Company shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor Issuing Bank hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Company to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of JPMorgan Chase Bank as Issuing Bank. If JPMorgan Chase Bank resigns as Issuing Bank, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the Issuing Bank hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as Issuing Bank and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto. Upon the appointment of a successor Issuing Bank, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Bank, and (ii) the successor Issuing Bank shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to JPMorgan Chase Bank to effectively assume the obligations of JPMorgan Chase Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit.

(i)         Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, any Lender may assign to one or more special purpose funding vehicles (each, an “SPV”) all or any portion of its funded Loans (without the corresponding Commitment), without the consent of any Person or the payment of a fee, by execution of a written assignment agreement in a form agreed to by such Lender and such SPV, and may grant any such SPV the option, in such SPV’s sole discretion, to provide the Borrowers all or any part of any Loans that such Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement. Such SPVs shall have all the rights which a Lender making or holding such Loans would have under this Agreement (subject to the requirements and limitations to which the Lender would subject under this Agreement) but no obligations; provided that the Lender shall make all determinations on behalf of the SPV with respect to any matters requiring the consent or approval of the SPV hereunder and the Agents and the Borrowers shall be entitled to rely on such determination by the Lender, without further inquiry and notwithstanding any communication to the contrary by the SPV; provided further, a SPV shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.14 or 2.16 than the applicable granting Lender would have been entitled to receive absent such grant, without the consent of the Company. The Lender making such assignment shall remain liable for all its original obligations under this Agreement, including its Commitment (although the unused portion thereof shall be reduced by the principal amount of any Loans held by an SPV). Notwithstanding such assignment, the Agents and Borrowers may deliver notices to the Lender making such assignment (as agent for the SPV) and not separately to the SPV.

Section 9.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of

143

the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. In connection with the termination of this Agreement and the release and termination of the security interests in the Collateral, after consultation with (but not the consent of) the Borrowers, the Agents may require such indemnities and collateral security as they shall reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to protect the Credit Parties against (x) loss on account of credits previously applied to the Obligations that may subsequently be reversed or revoked, (y) any obligations that may thereafter arise with respect to the Other Liabilities, and (z) any Obligations that may thereafter arise under Section 9.03 hereof.

Section 9.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 9.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

144

Section 9.08. Right of Setoff. If one or more Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender shall have the right, in addition to and not in limitation of any right which any such Lender may have under Applicable Law or otherwise, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of any of the Borrowers against any of and all the obligations of any of the Borrowers now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such other Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section 9.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have. No Credit Party will, or will permit its Participant to, exercise its rights under this Section 9.08 without the consent of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES ANY OF THE OBLIGATIONS PRIOR TO THE EXERCISE THE SETOFF UNDER THIS SECTION ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.

Section 9.09. GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; CONSENT TO SERVICE OF PROCESS. (a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (EXCEPT FOR THE CONFLICT OF LAWS RULES THEREOF, BUT INCLUDING GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402) AND (TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE) THE BANKRUPTCY CODE.

(b)        Each of the Borrowers hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and, if the Bankruptcy Court does not have (or abstains from) jurisdiction, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding

145

relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any of the Borrowers or their respective properties in the courts of any jurisdiction

(c)        Each of the Borrowers hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(d)        Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

Section 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below) except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors, and funding sources (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by Applicable Law or regulations or by any

146

subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (g) with the consent of the Company or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any of the Borrowers relating to the Borrowers or their business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any of the Borrowers; provided that, in the case of information received from a Borrower after the Effective Date, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as 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 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.

Section 9.13. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under Applicable Law (collectively, the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with Applicable Law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

Section 9.14. Patriot Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers, which information includes the name and address of each Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Borrower in accordance with the Act. Each Borrower is in compliance, in all material respects, with the Act. No part of the proceeds of the

147

Loans will be used by the Borrowers, directly or indirectly, for any payments to any governmental official or employee, political party, official of a political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended.

Section 9.15. Foreign Asset Control Regulations. Neither of the advance of the Loans nor the use of the proceeds of any thereof will violate the Trading With the Enemy Act (50 U.S.C. Section 1 et seq., as amended) (the “Trading With the Enemy Act”) or any of the foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) (the “Foreign Assets Control Regulations”) or any enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto (which for the avoidance of doubt shall include, but shall not be limited to (a) Executive Order 13224 of September 21, 2001 Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism (66 Fed. Reg. 49079 (2001)) (the “Executive Order”) and (b) the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-56)). Furthermore, none of the Borrowers or their Affiliates (x) is or will become a “blocked person” as described in the Executive Order, the Trading With the Enemy Act or the Foreign Assets Control Regulations or (y) knowingly engages or will engage in any dealings or transactions, or be otherwise associated, with any such “blocked person” or in any manner violative of any such order.

Section 9.16. Additional Waivers. (a) The Obligations are the joint and several obligation of each Loan Party. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the obligations of each Loan Party hereunder shall not be affected by (i) the failure of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce or exercise any right or remedy against any other Loan Party under the provisions of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise, (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release of any Loan Party from, any of the terms or provisions of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, (iii) the failure to perfect any security interest in, or the release of, any of the Collateral or other security held by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender or (iv) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any other Loan Party or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any other Loan Party under any Loan Documents..

(b)        The obligations of each Loan Party to pay the Obligations in full hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the payment in full in cash of the Obligations and termination of the Commitments), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the Obligations and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination

148

whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any of the Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Loan Party hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any provision of any thereof, any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of any of the Obligations, or by any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Loan Party or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Loan Party as a matter of law or equity (other than the payment in full in cash of all the Obligations and termination of the Commitments).

(c)        To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Loan Party waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any other Loan Party or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any other Loan Party, other than the payment in full in cash of all the Obligations and termination of the Commitments. The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by one or more of them by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the Obligations, make any other accommodation with any other Loan Party, or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against any other Loan Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Loan Party hereunder except to the extent that all the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and performed in full and the Commitments terminated. Pursuant to Applicable Law, each Loan Party waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to Applicable Law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Loan Party against any other Loan Party, as the case may be, or any security.

(d)        Each Loan Party hereby agrees to keep each other Loan Party fully apprised at all times as to the status of its business, affairs, finances, and financial condition, and its ability to perform its Obligations under the Loan Documents and in particular as to any adverse developments with respect thereto. Each Loan Party hereby agrees to undertake to keep itself apprised at all times as to the status of the business, affairs, finances, and financial condition of each other Loan Party, and of the ability of each other Loan Party to perform its Obligations under the Loan Documents, and in particular as to any adverse developments with respect to any thereof. Each Loan Party hereby agrees, in light of the foregoing mutual covenants to inform each other, and to keep themselves and each other informed as to such matters, that the none of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender shall have any duty to inform any Loan Party of any information pertaining to the business, affairs, finances, or financial condition

149

of any other Loan Party, or pertaining to the ability of any other Loan Party to perform its Obligations under the Loan Documents, even if such information is adverse, and even if such information might influence the decision of one or more of the Loan Parties to continue to be jointly and severally liable for, or to provide Collateral for, Obligations of one or more of the other Loan Parties. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Loan Party hereby expressly waives any duty of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender to inform any Loan Party of any such information.

Section 9.17. No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby, the Loan Parties each acknowledge and agree that: (a) the credit facility provided for hereunder and any related arranging or other services in connection therewith (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) are an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Loan Parties, on the one hand, and the Agents, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders, on the other hand, and each of the Loan Parties is capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or thereof); (b) in connection with the process leading to such transaction, each Agent, Issuing Bank and Lender is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the financial advisor, agent or fiduciary, for the Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees or any other Person; (c) none of the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank or Lenders has assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Loan Parties with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto, including with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document (irrespective of whether any of the Agents, Issuing Bank or Lenders has advised or is currently advising any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates on other matters) and none of the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank or Lenders has any obligation to any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; (d) the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank and Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates, and none of the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank or Lenders has any obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship; and (e) none of the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank and Lenders have provided or will provide any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) and each of the Loan Parties has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate. Each of the Loan Parties hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that it may have against each of

150

the Agents, Issuing Bank and Lenders with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty.

Section 9.18. Press Releases. The Company agrees that neither it nor its Affiliates will in the future issue any press releases or other public disclosure using the name of the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates or referring to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents without at least two (2) Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent and without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent unless (and only to the extent that) Company is required to do so under Applicable Law (including, without limitation, under the reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission or other Governmental Authority). Each Loan Party consents to the publication by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of advertising material relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement using any Loan Party’s name, product photographs, logo or trademark. The Administrative Agent or such Lender shall provide a draft at least five (5) Business Days in advance of any advertising material to the Company for review and comment prior to the publication thereof. Administrative Agent reserves the right to provide to industry trade organizations information necessary and customary for inclusion in league table measurements.

Section 9.19. Inconsistency. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the Interim Order (and, when applicable, the Final Order), the provisions of Interim Order (and, when applicable, the Final Order) shall govern.

Exhibit C

Form of Guaranty

Guaranty

GUARANTY, dated as of December 14, 2010, made by THE GREAT ATLANTIC & PACIFIC TEA COMPANY, INC., a Maryland corporation, a debtor and debtor-in-possession in a case pending under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (as defined in the Credit Agreement, defined herein) (the “Company”), each of the subsidiaries of the Company listed on Schedule I hereto (each such subsidiary a debtor and debtor-in-possession, individually, a “Subsidiary” and, collectively, the “Subsidiaries”; and each such Subsidiary and the Company, individually, a “Guarantor” and, collectively, the “Guarantors”) in favor of JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A. (“JPMorgan Chase Bank”), as collateral agent (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”) for its own benefit and the benefit of the other Secured Parties (as defined in the Security Agreement defined below).

Reference is made to the Superpriority Debtor-in-Possession Credit Agreement dated as of December 14, 2010 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Company as a Borrower, certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries parties thereto (each a “Borrower” and together with the Company, the “Borrowers”), the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”), and JPMorgan Chase Bank, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meanings as set forth in the Credit Agreement.

The Lenders have agreed to make Loans to the Borrowers, in each case, pursuant to, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions specified in, the Credit Agreement. Each of the Guarantors (except for the Company) is a direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company and acknowledges that it will derive substantial benefit from the making of the Loans by the Lenders. The obligations of the Lenders to make Loans, and the Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit are each conditioned on, among other things, the execution and delivery by the Guarantors of a Guaranty in the form hereof (this “Guaranty”). As consideration therefor and in order to induce the Lenders to make Loans and the Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit, the Guarantors are willing to execute this Agreement.

Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 1.  Guarantee.  Each Guarantor that is not a Borrower unconditionally and absolutely guarantees to each Secured Party, jointly with the other Guarantors and severally, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, (a) the due and punctual payment by the Borrowers of (i) the principal of and premium, if any, and interest (including interest accruing during the pendency of the Cases, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceedings) on the Loans, when and as due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, upon one or more dates set for prepayment or otherwise, (ii) each payment required to be made by the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement in respect of any Letter of Credit,

when and as due, including payments in respect of reimbursement of disbursements, interest thereon and obligations to provide cash collateral, (iii) obligations to repay overdraft amounts plus interest, if any, customarily applied on overdrafts and all obligations (including without limitation fees, costs, expenses and indemnities) owed to any Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender arising from any Cash Management Services provided by a Lender or Affiliate of a Lender to any Loan Party and (iv) all other monetary obligations, including fees, costs, expenses and indemnities, whether primary, secondary, direct, contingent, fixed or otherwise (including monetary obligations incurred during the Cases, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceedings), of the Borrowers to the Secured Parties under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (b) the due and punctual performance of all covenants, agreements, obligations and liabilities of the Borrowers under or pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (c) the due and punctual payment and performance of all the covenants, agreements, obligations and liabilities of each Loan Party under or pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and (d) the due and punctual payment and performance of all obligations of the Borrowers under each Hedging Agreement entered into with any counterparty that was a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender at the time such Hedging Agreement was entered into (all the monetary and other obligations described in the preceding clauses (a) through (d) being collectively called the “Obligations”). Each Guarantor further agrees that the Obligations may be extended, renewed, exchanged, continued, converted, amended, amended and restated, supplemented, consolidated or otherwise modified in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any extension, renewal, exchange, continuation, conversion, amendment, amendment and restatement, supplement, consolidation or other modification of any Obligation.

SECTION 2.  Obligations Not Waived.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to each Borrower (or if such Guarantor is a Borrower, each other Borrower) or any other person of any of the Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its guarantee and notice of protest for nonpayment and any requirement that the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien or any property subject thereto. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (a) the failure of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce or exercise any right or remedy against any Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other guarantor under the provisions of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise for any reason, (b) any rescission, waiver (except the effect of any waiver obtained pursuant to Section 12(b)), amendment or modification of, or any release of any Borrower or any other Guarantor from any terms or provisions of any other Loan Document, any other Guaranty or any other agreement, including with respect to any other Guarantor under this Agreement, (c) the failure to perfect any security interest in, or the release of, any of the security held by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent

or any other Secured Party, (d) any right that any Guarantor may now or hereafter have under Section 3-606 of the UCC or otherwise to unimpaired collateral or (e) any other circumstance that might in any manner or to any extent otherwise constitute a defense available to, vary the risk of, or operate as a discharge of, such Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.

SECTION 3.  Security.  Each Guarantor authorizes the Collateral Agent and each of the other Secured Parties to (a) take and hold security for the payment of this Guaranty and the Obligations and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security, (b) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as they in their sole discretion may determine and (c) release or substitute any one or more endorsers, other guarantors or other obligors.

SECTION 4.  Guarantee of Payment.  Each Guarantor further agrees that its guarantee constitutes a guarantee of payment when due jointly and severally with each other Guarantor and not of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to any of the security held for payment of the Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party in favor of any Borrower or any other Person.

SECTION 5.  No Discharge or Diminishment of Guarantee.  The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are irrevocable and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations), including any regulatory change or other governmental action (whether or not adverse) or other change in applicable law, or any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the Obligations against any Borrower or any other Guarantor, and shall not be subject to any defense, setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, abatement or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by: (a) the failure of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, (b) any waiver or modification of any provision of any thereof, (c) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations, (d) any change in the existence, structure or ownership of any Borrower or any other Guarantor, (e) any liquidation or other similar proceeding (including the Cases) affecting any Borrower or any other Guarantor or its assets or any resulting disallowance, release or discharge of all or any portion of the Obligations, (f) any direction as to application of payment by any Borrower or any other Guarantor or any other Person, (g) the failure by any Borrower or any Guarantor or any other Person to sign this Agreement or a guaranty similar to this Agreement or (h) any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a

discharge of each Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations).

SECTION 6.  Defenses of Borrowers Waived.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Guarantors waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Borrower or the invalidity or unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Borrower, other than the final and indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations (or, in the case of an action seeking payment of less than all the Obligations, payment in full in cash of the portion of the Obligations sought in such action). The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by one or more of them by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the Obligations, make any other accommodation with any Borrower or any other Guarantor or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against any Borrower or any other Guarantor, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have been fully, finally and indefeasibly paid in cash. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Guarantors waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Guarantor against any Borrower or any other Guarantor or guarantor, as the case may be, or any security.

SECTION 7.  Agreement to Pay; Subordination.

(a)        Payments to be Made Upon Default. In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of any Borrower or any other Loan Party to pay any Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each Guarantor hereby promises to and will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party as designated thereby, in cash the amount of such unpaid Obligations.

(b)        General Provisions as to Payments.  Each payment hereunder shall be made without set-off, counterclaim or other deduction, in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York, New York, to the Collateral Agent at the address(es) referred to in Section 14 on the basis set forth in Section 2.17 of the Credit Agreement.

(c)        Application of Payments.  All payments received by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be applied as provided in Section 7.03 of the Credit Agreement.

(d)        Subordination.  Upon payment by any Guarantor of any sums to the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party as provided above, all rights of such Guarantor against any Borrower arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations. In addition, any indebtedness of any other Borrower or any other Guarantor now or hereafter held by any Borrower or any Guarantor is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full in cash of the Obligations. If any amount shall erroneously be paid to any Guarantor on account of (i) such subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar right or (ii) any such indebtedness of any Borrower or Guarantor, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to the Collateral Agent to be credited against the payment of the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents.

SECTION 8.  Information.  Each of the Guarantors assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrowers’ (or in the case of a Borrower, each other Borrowers’) financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that none of the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties will have any duty to advise any of the Guarantors of information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks.

SECTION 9.  Representations and Warranties.  Each of the Guarantors represents and warrants as to itself that all representations and warranties relating to it contained in the Credit Agreement are true and correct.

SECTION 10.  Termination.  The Guarantees made hereunder shall in all respects be continuing guarantees and (a) shall terminate when all the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations with respect to then unasserted claims which, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Hedging Agreements described in clause (d) of the definition of Obligations hereunder, survive the termination of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Hedging Agreements described in clause (d) of the definition of Obligations hereunder), the Lenders have no further commitment to lend, the L/C Exposure has been reduced to zero or collateralized to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank has no further commitment to issue Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement and the Obligations under the Hedging Agreements described in clause (d) of the definition of Obligations hereunder have been reduced to zero (or collateral or indemnification to the satisfaction of the counterparties thereto has been provided) and (b) shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Secured Party or any Guarantor under the Cases. A Guarantor (other than a Borrower) shall automatically be released from its

obligations hereunder in the event that all the capital stock of such Guarantor shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of to a person that is not an Affiliate of any Borrower (i) in accordance with the terms of Section 6.05 of the Credit Agreement or (ii) if the Required Lenders shall have consented to such sale, transfer or other disposition (to the extent required by the Credit Agreement) and the terms of such consent did not provide otherwise. Upon the release of a Guarantor from such obligations under this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10, and at the sole expense of such Guarantor, the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to such Guarantor such documents as that such Guarantor may reasonably request to evidence such termination or release; provided that such Guarantor will provide such instruments, letter agreements and indemnities relating to its obligations hereunder prior to the date it ceased to be a Subsidiary of any Borrower and such opinion of counsel as may be requested and prove satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. Each Guarantor party hereto agrees that payment or performance of any of the Obligations or other acts which toll any statute of limitations applicable to the Obligations shall also toll the statute of limitations applicable to each such Guarantor’s liability hereunder.

SECTION 11.  Binding Effect; Several Agreement; Assignments.  Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of the Guarantors that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of each party hereto and their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement shall become effective as to any Guarantor when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Guarantor shall have been delivered to the Collateral Agent, and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Collateral Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon such Guarantor and the Collateral Agent and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of such Guarantor, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Guarantor shall have the right to assign its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein (and any such attempted assignment shall be void). This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Guarantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Guarantor without the approval of any other Guarantor and without affecting the obligations of any other Guarantor hereunder.

SECTION 12.  Waivers; Amendment

(a)        No failure or delay of the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder and of the other Secured Parties under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of

any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b)        Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to a written agreement entered into between the Guarantors with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification relates and the Collateral Agent, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 13.  GOVERNING LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (EXCEPT FOR THE CONFLICT OF LAWS RULES THEREOF, BUT INCLUDING GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402) AND (TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE) THE BANKRUPTCY CODE.

SECTION 14.  Notices.  All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to each Guarantor shall be given to it at its address or telecopy number set forth in Schedule I hereto, with a copy to the Company.

SECTION 15.  Survival of Agreement; Severability

(a)        All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Guarantors herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and shall survive the making of the Loans by the Lenders and the issuance of Letters of Credit by the Issuing Bank, in each case regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Secured Party, and shall continue in full force and effect until this Agreement shall terminate.

(b)        In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

SECTION 16.  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 11. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 17.  Rules of Interpretation.  The rules of interpretation specified in Section 1.03 of the Credit Agreement shall be applicable to this Agreement.

SECTION 18.  Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process

(a)        Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and, if the Bankruptcy Court does not have (or abstains from) jurisdiction, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any of the Guarantors or their respective properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(b)        Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(c)        Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 14. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. Each Guarantor hereby appoints the

Company as its agent for service of process in the United States and the Company hereby accepts such appointment,

SECTION 19.  WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

SECTION 20.  Additional Guarantors.  Pursuant to Section 5.12 of the Credit Agreement each Subsidiary of any Borrower that is formed or acquired after the Effective Date and that is a Loan Party is required to execute the Guaranty. Upon execution and delivery after the date hereof by the Collateral Agent and such a Subsidiary of an instrument in the form of Annex 1 hereto, such Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Guarantor herein. The execution and delivery of any instrument adding an additional Guarantor as a party to this Agreement shall not require the consent of any other Guarantor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Guarantor as a party to this Agreement.

SECTION 21.  Right of Setoff

(a)        If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Secured Party is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other Indebtedness at any time owing by such Secured Party to or for the credit or the account of any Guarantor against any or all the obligations of such Guarantor then existing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Secured Party shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or whether such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Secured Party under this Section 21 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including any other rights of setoff) that such Secured Party may have. No Secured Party will, or will permit

its Participant to, exercise its rights under this Section 21 without the consent of the Administrative Agent.

(b)        No act or omission of any kind or at any time on the part of any Secured Party in respect of any matter whatsoever shall in any way affect or impair the rights of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to enforce any right, power or benefit under this Agreement, and no set-off, claim, reduction or diminution of any Obligation or any defense of any kind or nature which any Guarantor has or may have against any Borrower, any Guarantor or any Secured Party shall be available against the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party in any suit or action brought by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to enforce any right, power or benefit provided for by this Agreement; provided that nothing herein shall prevent the assertion by any Guarantor of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver by any Guarantor of any rights or claims which it may have against any Secured Party hereunder or otherwise, but any recovery upon such rights and claims shall be had from such Secured Party separately, it being the intent of this Agreement that each Guarantor shall be unconditionally, absolutely and jointly and severally obligated to perform fully all its obligations, covenants and agreements hereunder for the benefit of each Secured Party.

SECTION 22.  Maximum Liability

Notwithstanding any provision herein contained to the contrary, each Guarantor’s liability under this Agreement shall be limited to an amount not to exceed as of any date of determination the amount which could be claimed by any Secured Party from such Guarantor under this Agreement without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law (the “Avoidance Provisions”) after taking into account, among other things, such Guarantor’s right of contribution and indemnification from each other Guarantor, if any (specifically excluding, however, any liabilities of such Guarantor (i) in respect of intercompany indebtedness to any Borrower or any other Guarantor or any of its Affiliates to the extent that such indebtedness (A) would be discharged or would be subject to a right of set-off in an amount equal to the amount paid by such Guarantor hereunder or (B) has been pledged to, and is enforceable by, the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties and (ii) under any guaranty of Indebtedness subordinated in right of payment to the Obligations which guaranty contains a limitation as to a maximum amount similar to that set forth in this paragraph pursuant to which the liability of such Guarantor hereunder is included in the liabilities taken into account in determining such maximum amount). To the end set forth above, but only to the extent that the obligations of a Guarantor hereunder (the “Guaranty Obligations”) would otherwise be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, if such Guarantor is not deemed to have received valuable consideration, fair value, fair consideration or reasonably equivalent value for the Guaranty Obligations, or if the Guaranty Obligations

would render such Guarantor insolvent, or leave such Guarantor with an unreasonably small capital to conduct its business, or cause such Guarantor to have incurred debts (or to have intended to have incurred debts) beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature, in each case as of the time any of the Guaranty Obligations is deemed to have been incurred for the purposes of the Avoidance Provisions, the maximum Guaranty Obligations for which such Guarantor shall be liable hereunder shall be reduced to that amount which, after giving effect thereto, would not cause the Guaranty Obligations as so reduced, to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions.

Exhibit D

Form of Indemnity, Subrogation and Contribution Agreement

Indemnity, Subrogation and Contribution Agreement

INDEMNITY, SUBROGATION and CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT, dated as of December 14, 2010, among THE GREAT ATLANTIC & PACIFIC TEA COMPANY, INC., a Maryland corporation, a debtor and debtor-in-possession in a case pending under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (as defined in the Credit Agreement, defined herein) (the “Company”), each subsidiary of the Company listed on Schedule I hereto (each such subsidiary a debtor and debtor-in-possession, individually a “Guarantor” and collectively, the “Guarantors”) and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., a national banking association (“JPMorgan Chase Bank”), as collateral agent (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”) for the Secured Parties (as such term is defined in the Security Agreement).

Reference is made to (a) the Superpriority Debtor-in Possession Credit Agreement dated as of December 14, 2010 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Company, as a Borrower, the other Borrowers party thereto, the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”), and JPMorgan Chase Bank as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent and (b) the Guaranty made by each Guarantor in favor of the Secured Parties dated as of December 14, 2010. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

The Lenders have agreed to make Loans to the Borrowers and the Issuing Bank has agreed to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrowers pursuant to, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions specified in, the Credit Agreement. The Guarantors have guaranteed the Obligations (as such term is defined in the Guaranty). The Guarantors have granted Liens on and security interests in certain of their assets to secure such guarantees pursuant to (a) the Pledge Agreement and (b) the Security Agreement, and certain other Guarantors have granted Liens on and security interests in certain of their assets to secure such guarantees pursuant to certain other Security Documents. The obligations of the Lenders to make Loans and the Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit are conditioned on, among other things, the execution and delivery by the Guarantors of an agreement in the form hereof. As consideration therefor and in order to induce the Lenders to make Loans and the Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit , the Guarantors are willing to execute this Agreement.

Accordingly, each Borrower, each Guarantor and the Collateral Agent agree as follows:

1.             Indemnity and Subrogation.  In addition to all such rights of indemnity and subrogation as the Guarantors may have under applicable law (but subject to Section 3), each Borrower agrees that (a) in the event a payment shall be made by any Guarantor (other than such Borrower) under the Guaranty, each Borrower shall indemnify such Guarantor for the full amount of such payment

and such Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the Person to whom such payment shall have been made to the extent of such payment and (b) in the event any assets of any Guarantor (other than such Borrower) shall be sold or otherwise disposed of pursuant to any Security Document to satisfy a claim of any Secured Party, each Borrower shall indemnify such Guarantor in an amount equal to the greater of the book value or the fair market value of the assets so sold.

2.             Contribution and Subrogation.  Each Guarantor (a “Contributing Guarantor”) agrees (subject to Section 3) that, in the event a payment shall be made by any other Guarantor under the Guaranty or assets of any other Guarantor shall be sold pursuant to any Security Document to satisfy a claim of any Secured Party and such other Guarantor (the “Claiming Guarantor”) shall not have been fully indemnified by the Borrowers as provided in Section 1, the Contributing Guarantor shall indemnify the Claiming Guarantor in an amount equal to the amount of such payment or the greater of the book value or the fair market value of such assets, as the case may be, in each case multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the net worth of the Contributing Guarantor on the date hereof and the denominator shall be the aggregate net worth of all the Guarantors on the date hereof (or, in the case of any Guarantor becoming a party hereto pursuant to Section 12, the date of the Supplement hereto executed and delivered by such Guarantor). Any Contributing Guarantor making any payment to a Claiming Guarantor pursuant to this Section 2 shall be subrogated to the rights of such Claiming Guarantor under Section 1 to the extent of such payment.

3.             Subordination.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, all rights of each of the Guarantors under Sections 1 and 2 and all other rights of each of the Guarantors in respect of indemnity, contribution or subrogation from any other Loan Party under applicable law or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Obligations that are then due and payable whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. No failure on the part of any Borrower or any Guarantor to make the payments required by Sections 1 and 2 (or any other payments required under applicable law or otherwise) shall in any respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor with respect to its obligations hereunder, and each Guarantor shall remain liable for the full amount of the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder.

4.             Termination.  This Agreement shall survive and be in full force and effect until all of the Obligations (as defined in the Security Agreement) have been indefeasibly paid in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations which, pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents or the Hedging Agreements described in clause (d) of the definition of Obligations, survive the termination of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Hedging Agreements described in clause (d) of the definition of Obligations), the Lenders have no further commitment to lend, the L/C Exposure has been reduced to zero or collateralized to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent and/or the Issuing Bank has no further commitment to issue Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement. A Guarantor shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder in the

event that all the capital stock of such Guarantor shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of to a person that is not an Affiliate of any Borrower (i) in accordance with the terms of Section 6.05 of the Credit Agreement or (ii) if the Required Lenders shall have consented to such sale, transfer or other disposition (to the extent required by the Credit Agreement) and the terms of such consent did not provide otherwise. Upon the release of a Guarantor from its obligations under this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4, and at the sole expense of such Guarantor, the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to such Guarantor such documents as such Guarantor may reasonably request to evidence such termination or release. This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Secured Party or any Guarantor upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower, any Guarantor or otherwise.

5.             GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (EXCEPT FOR THE CONFLICT OF LAWS RULES THEREOF, BUT INCLUDING GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402) AND (TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE) THE BANKRUPTCY CODE.

6.             No Waiver; Amendment. a. No failure on the part of the Collateral Agent or any Guarantor to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy by the Collateral Agent or any Guarantor preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. All remedies hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law. None of the Collateral Agent and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have waived any rights hereunder unless such waiver shall be in writing and signed by such parties.

b.             Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to a written agreement entered into between the Borrowers, the Guarantors and the Collateral Agent, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement.

7.             Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to each Guarantor shall be given to it as provided in the Guaranty, with a copy to the Company.

8.             Binding Agreement; Assignments. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of the parties that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns.

Neither any Borrower nor any Guarantor may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder (and any such attempted assignment or transfer shall be void) without the consent required in accordance with Section 9.04 of the Credit Agreement.

9. Survival of Agreement; Severability. a. All covenants and agreements made by each Borrower and each Guarantor herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Collateral Agent, the other Secured Parties and each Guarantor and shall survive the making of the Loans by the Lenders and the issuance of Letters of Credit by the Issuing Bank and shall continue in full force and effect until this Agreement shall terminate.

b. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, no party hereto shall be required to comply with such provision for so long as such provision is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, but the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

10. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement shall be effective with respect to any Guarantor when a counterpart bearing the signature of such Guarantor shall have been delivered to the Collateral Agent. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.

11. Rules of Interpretation. The rules of interpretation specified in Section 1.03 of the Credit Agreement shall be applicable to this Agreement.

12. Additional Guarantors. Pursuant to Section 5.12 of the Credit Agreement each Subsidiary that is a Loan Party that is formed or acquired after the Effective Date is required to execute the Indemnity, Subrogation and Contribution Agreement. Upon execution and delivery, after the date hereof, by the Collateral Agent and such a Subsidiary of an instrument in the form of Annex 1 hereto, such Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Guarantor hereunder. The execution and delivery of any instrument adding an additional Guarantor as a party to this Agreement shall not require the consent of any Guarantor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Guarantor as a party to this Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed by their duly authorized officers as of the date first appearing above.

Annex 1 to the
Indemnity, Subrogation and
Contribution Agreement

SUPPLEMENT NO.    , dated as of                         , to the Indemnity, Subrogation and Contribution Agreement, dated as of December 14, 2010, among THE GREAT ATLANTIC & PACIFIC TEA COMPANY, INC., a Maryland corporation, a debtor and debtor-in-possession in a case pending under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (as defined in the Credit Agreement, defined herein), each subsidiary of the Company (each such subsidiary a debtor and debtor-in-possession, individually a “Guarantor” and collectively, the “Guarantors”) and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., a national banking association (“JPMorgan Chase Bank”), as collateral agent (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”) for the Secured Parties (as such term is defined in the Security Agreement).

A. Reference is made to (a) the Credit Agreement dated as of December 14, 2010 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Company as a Borrower, the other Borrowers party thereto, the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”), and JPMorgan Chase Bank as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent and (b) the Guaranty made by each Guarantor in favor of the Secured Parties dated as of December 14, 2010.

B. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Indemnity, Subrogation and Contribution Agreement and the Credit Agreement, as applicable.

C. The Borrowers and the Guarantors have entered into the Indemnity, Subrogation and Contribution Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to make Loans and the Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit. Pursuant to Section 5.12 of the Credit Agreement each Subsidiary that is a Loan Party that is formed or acquired after the Effective Date is required to execute the Indemnity, Subrogation and Contribution Agreement. Section 12 of the Indemnity, Subrogation and Contribution Agreement provides that additional Subsidiaries may become Guarantors under the Indemnity, Subrogation and Contribution Agreement by execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement. The undersigned Subsidiary (the “New Guarantor”) is executing this Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement to become a Guarantor under the Indemnity, Subrogation and Contribution Agreement in order to induce the Lender to make additional Loans and the Issuing Bank to issue additional Letters of Credit and as consideration for Loans previously made and Letters of Credit previously issued.

Accordingly, the Collateral Agent and the New Guarantor agree as follows:

SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 12 of the Indemnity, Subrogation and Contribution Agreement, the New Guarantor by its signature below becomes

a Guarantor under the Indemnity, Subrogation and Contribution Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Guarantor and the New Guarantor hereby agrees to all the terms and provisions of the Indemnity, Subrogation and Contribution Agreement applicable to it as a Guarantor thereunder. Each reference to a “Guarantor” in the Indemnity, Subrogation and Contribution Agreement shall be deemed to include the New Guarantor. The Indemnity, Subrogation and Contribution Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

SECTION 2. The New Guarantor represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, the enforceability of which is subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

SECTION 3. This Supplement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Supplement shall become effective when the Collateral Agent shall have received counterparts of this Supplement that, when taken together, bear the signatures of the New Guarantor and the Collateral Agent. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Supplement by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Supplement.

SECTION 4. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Indemnity, Subrogation and Contribution Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 5. THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (EXCEPT FOR THE CONFLICT OF LAWS RULES THEREOF, BUT INCLUDING GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402) AND (TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE) THE BANKRUPTCY CODE.

SECTION 6. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Supplement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, neither party hereto shall be required to comply with such provision for so long as such provision is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, but the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and in the Indemnity, Subrogation and Contribution Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions

with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

SECTION 7. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 7 of the Indemnity, Subrogation and Contribution Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to the New Guarantor shall be given to it at the address set forth under its signature below, with a copy to the Company.

SECTION 8. The New Guarantor agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this Supplement, including the reasonable fees, other charges and disbursements of counsel for the Collateral Agent.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the New Guarantor and the Collateral Agent have duly executed this Supplement to the Indemnity, Subrogation and Contribution Agreement as of the day and year first above written.

IT IS FOUND, DETERMINED, ORDERED AND ADJUDGED, that:

1. Jurisdiction.  This Court has core jurisdiction over the Cases, this Motion, and the parties and property affected hereby pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 157(b) and 1334.  Venue is proper before this Court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409.

2.

6

request for interim relief granted herein and the notice given by the Debtors of the Motion and the Interim Hearing constitutes due and sufficient notice thereof and complies with Bankruptcy Rules 4001(b) and (c) and no further notice of the relief sought at the Interim Hearing is necessary or required.

3. Debtors’ Stipulations.  Without prejudice to the rights of any other party (but subject to the limitations thereon contained in paragraphs 16 and 21 below), the Debtors, for themselves but not their estates, admit, stipulate and agree that:

(a) (i) as of the filing of the Debtors’ chapter 11 petitions (the “Petition Date”), the Borrowers and the Guarantors were  indebted and liable to the Pre-Petition Secured Lenders, without defense, counterclaim or offset of any kind, in the aggregate principal amount of not less than $97,500,000 in respect of term loans made, not less than $42,500,000 in respect of revolving credit loans and not less than $196,153,000 in respect of letters of credit issued and outstanding, in each case, by the Pre-Petition Secured Lenders pursuant to, and in accordance with the terms of, the Existing Agreements, plus, in each case, interest thereon and fees, expenses (including any attorneys’, accountants’, appraisers’ and financial advisors’ fees that are chargeable or reimbursable under the Existing Agreements), charges and other obligations incurred in connection therewith as provided in the Existing Agreements (collectively, the “Pre-Petition Debt”), (ii) the Pre-Petition Debt constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Debtors, enforceable in accordance with its terms (other than in respect of the stay of enforcement arising from section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code) and (iii) no

7

portion of the Pre-Petition Debt is subject to avoidance, recharacterization, recovery or subordination pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code or applicable nonbankruptcy law;

(b) the liens and security interests granted to the Pre-Petition Agent pursuant to and in connection with the Existing Agreements (including, without limitation, all security agreements, pledge agreements, mortgages (other than with respect to certain mortgages not recorded prior to the Petition Date), deeds of trust and other security documents executed by any of the Debtors in favor of the Pre-Petition Agent, for its benefit and for the benefit of the Pre-Petition Secured Lenders) in connection with the Existing Agreements, (i) are valid, binding, perfected, enforceable, first-priority liens and security interests in the personal and real property described in the Existing Agreements (the “Pre-Petition Collateral”); (ii) are not subject to avoidance, recharacterization or subordination pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code or applicable nonbankruptcy law; (iii) secure, without limitation, the Debtors’ indemnity obligations to the Pre-Petition Agent under the Existing Agreements; and (iv) are subject and subordinate only to (A) the DIP Liens (as defined below), (B) the Carve Out (as defined below) to which the DIP Liens are subject and (C) valid, perfected and unavoidable liens permitted under the Existing Agreements to the extent such permitted liens are senior to or pari passsu with the liens of the Pre-Petition Agent on the Pre-Petition Collateral (and such liens are and shall be senior to the Pre-Petition Trustee’s liens on the Pre-Petition Collateral and the Junior Adequate Protection Liens (as defined below)); and

(c) the liens and security interests granted to the Pre-Petition Secured Noteholders pursuant to and in connection with the Pre-Petition Note Indenture

8

(including, without limitation, all security agreements, pledge agreements, mortgages (other than with respect to certain mortgages not recorded prior to the Petition Date), deeds of trust and other security documents executed by any of the Debtors in favor of and for the benefit of the Pre-Petition Secured Noteholders), shall be subject and subordinate only to (i) the DIP Liens and the Adequate Protection Liens (each as defined below), (ii) the Carve Out (as defined below) to which the DIP Liens are subject and (iii) valid, perfected and unavoidable liens permitted under the Pre-Petition Note Indenture to the extent such permitted liens are senior to or pari passu with the liens of the Agent on the Collateral;

(d) a portion of the Debtors’ borrowings from the DIP Lenders under the DIP Credit Agreement (as defined below) and this Interim Order will be used to, simultaneously with the initial borrowing under the Term Loan, refinance the Pre-Petition Debt owing to the Pre-Petition Secured Lenders and to provide back-to-back letters of credit in respect of the letters of credit currently outstanding under the Pre-Petition Credit Agreement as soon as practicable after receipt of a properly completed backstopping letter of credit application, each in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Interim Order; and, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein (including, without limitation, the priming liens granted hereunder and the Carve Out (as defined below)), any and all pre-petition or post-petition liens and security interests (including, without limitation, any adequate protection replacement liens at any time granted to the Pre-Petition Secured Lenders by this Court) that the Pre-Petition Secured Lenders have or may have in the Pre-Petition Collateral or any other assets and properties of the Debtors

9

and their estates shall (i) unless otherwise ordered by the Court, continue to secure the unpaid portion of any Pre-Petition Debt (including, without limitation, any Pre-Petition Debt subsequently reinstated after the repayment thereof because such payment (or any portion thereof) is required to be returned or repaid to the Debtors or the DIP Lenders and the liens securing the Pre-Petition Debt shall have not been avoided) and (ii) be junior and subordinate in all respects to the DIP Lenders’ liens on and security interests in the Collateral (including, without limitation, the DIP Liens (as defined below)) granted under this Interim Order and the DIP Documents (such junior liens and security interests of the Pre-Petition Secured Lenders are hereinafter referred to as the “Contingent Adequate Protection Liens”), and any such reinstated Pre-Petition Debt described in clause (i) of this sentence is hereinafter referred to as the “Contingent Pre-Petition Debt”).

4. Findings Regarding the Financing.

(a) Good cause has been shown for the entry of this Interim Order.

(b) The Debtors have an immediate need to obtain the Financing and use Cash Collateral and all other collateral in order to permit, among other things, the orderly continuation of the operation of their businesses, to maintain business relationships with vendors, suppliers and customers, to make payroll, to make capital expenditures, to repay the Pre-Petition Debt, to provide back-to-back letters of credit in respect of the letters of credit currently outstanding under the Pre-Petition Credit Agreement and to satisfy other working capital and operational needs.  The access of the Debtors to sufficient working capital and liquidity through the use of Cash Collateral, incurrence of new indebtedness for borrowed money and other financial accommodations

10

is vital to the preservation and maintenance of the going concern values of the Debtors and to a successful reorganization of the Debtors.

(c) The Debtors are unable to obtain financing on more favorable terms from sources other than the DIP Lenders under the DIP Documents and are unable to obtain adequate unsecured credit allowable under section 503(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code as an administrative expense.  The Debtors are also unable to obtain secured credit allowable under sections 364(c)(1), 364(c)(2) and 364(c)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code (i) without the Debtors granting to the Agent and the DIP Lenders, subject to the Carve Out as provided for herein, the DIP Liens and the Superpriority Claims (as defined below) under the terms and conditions set forth in this Interim Order and in the DIP Documents and (ii) repaying the Pre-Petition Debt in full upon entry of the Interim Order, such repayment being a requirement by the Agent for the Financing.

(d) The terms of the Financing and the use of Cash Collateral are fair and reasonable, reflect the Debtors’ exercise of prudent business judgment consistent with their fiduciary duties and constitute reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration.

(e) The Financing has been negotiated in good faith and at arm’s length among the Debtors, the Agent and the DIP Lenders, and all of the Debtors’ obligations and indebtedness arising under, in respect of or in connection with the Financing and the DIP Documents, including without limitation, (i) all loans made to, and all letters of credit issued for the account of, the Debtors pursuant to the credit agreement (the “DIP Credit Agreement”) substantially in the form filed on the docket on

11

December 13, 2010 and (ii) any Obligations (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement), including credit extended in respect of overdrafts and related liabilities and other depository, treasury, and cash management services and other clearing services provided by JPMCB, any DIP Lender or any of their respective affiliates and any hedging obligations of the Debtors permitted under the DIP Credit Agreement in each case owing to JPMCB, any DIP Lender or any of their respective banking affiliates (all of the foregoing in clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, the “DIP Obligations”), shall be deemed to have been extended by the Agent and the DIP Lenders and their affiliates in good faith, as that term is used in section 364(e) of the Bankruptcy Code and in express reliance upon the protections offered by section 364(e) of the Bankruptcy Code, and shall be entitled to the full protection of section 364(e) of the Bankruptcy Code in the event that this Interim Order or any provision hereof is vacated, reversed or modified, on appeal or otherwise.

(f) The Debtors have requested entry of this Order pursuant to Bankruptcy Rules 4001(b)(2) and 4001(c)(2).  Absent granting the relief set forth in this Order, the Debtors’ estates will be immediately and irreparably harmed.  Consummation of the Financing and the use of Cash Collateral in accordance with this Order and the DIP Documents is therefore in the best interest of the Debtors’ estates.

5. Authorization of the Financing, the DIP Documents and the Refinancing of the Pre-Petition Debt.

(a) The Debtors are hereby authorized to enter into the DIP Documents.  Each of the Borrowers is hereby authorized to borrow money and obtain

12

letters of credit pursuant to the DIP Credit Agreement, and the Guarantors are hereby authorized to guaranty such borrowings and letters of credits and the Borrowers’ joint and several obligations with respect to such borrowings and letters of credit up to an aggregate principal or face amount of $550,000,000 (plus interest, fees and other expenses and amounts provided for in the DIP Documents), in accordance with the terms of this Interim Order and the DIP Documents, which shall be used for all purposes permitted under the DIP Documents, including, without limitation, first, to refinance the Pre-Petition Debt as provided herein, to provide back-to-back letters of credit in respect of the letters of credit currently outstanding under the Pre-Petition Credit Agreement, to provide working capital for the Borrowers and the Guarantors, for other general corporate purposes and to pay interest, fees and expenses in accordance with this Interim Order and the DIP Documents.  In addition to such loans and obligations, the Debtors are authorized to incur overdrafts and related liabilities arising from treasury, depository and cash management services including any automated clearing house fund transfers provided to or for the benefit of the Debtors by JPMCB, any DIP Lender or any of their respective affiliates; provided, however, that nothing herein shall require JPMCB or any other party to incur overdrafts or to provide any such services or functions to the Debtors.

(b) In furtherance of the foregoing and without further approval of this Court, each Debtor is authorized and directed to perform all acts, to make, execute and deliver all instruments and documents (including, without limitation, the execution or recordation of security agreements, mortgages and financing statements), and to pay all

13

fees, that may be reasonably required or necessary for the Debtors’ performance of their obligations under the Financing, including, without limitation:

(i) the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement) and any exhibits attached thereto, including, without limitation, the DIP Credit Agreement, the Security Documents (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement), all related documents and any mortgages contemplated thereby (collectively, and together with the letter agreements referred to in clause (iii) below, the “DIP Documents”),

(ii) the execution, delivery and performance of one or more amendments to the DIP Credit Agreement for, among other things, the purpose of adding additional financial institutions as DIP Lenders and reallocating the commitments for the Financing among the DIP Lenders, in each case in such form as the Debtors, the Agent and the DIP Lenders may agree (it being understood that no further approval of the Court shall be required for amendments to the DIP Credit Agreement (and any fees paid in connection therewith) that do not increase the aggregate commitments thereunder).  Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, without further approval of this Court, amendments to the DIP Documents may be made at any time prior to the earlier of (A) the date that JPMCB and its affiliates shall (i) no longer hold commitments with respect to, or loans under the Term Loan Facility and (ii) hold commitments with respect to or loans under the Revolving Facility of not more than $100,000,0000 (collectively, a “Successful Syndication”) and (B) the date that is 60 days following the date of entry of this Interim Order, if and to the extent the Agent and the Lead Arranger reasonably

14

determine that any such change is necessary to ensure a Successful Syndication or as otherwise contemplated by any separate letter agreement entered into in connection with the Financing,

(iii) the non-refundable payment to the Agent, the Lead Arranger or the DIP Lenders, as the case may be, of the fees referred to in the DIP Credit Agreement (and in the separate letter agreements between them in connection with the Financing) and reasonable costs and expenses as may be due from time to time, including, without limitation, fees and expenses of the professionals retained as provided for in the DIP Documents without the necessity of filing retention motions or fee applications, and

(iv) the performance of all other acts required under or in connection with the DIP Documents.

(c) Upon execution and delivery of the DIP Documents, the DIP Documents shall constitute valid and binding obligations of the Debtors, enforceable against each Debtor party thereto in accordance with the terms of the DIP Documents and this Order.  No obligation, payment, transfer or grant of security under the DIP Documents or this Order shall be stayed, restrained, voidable, or recoverable under the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable law (including without limitation, under section 502(d) of the Bankruptcy Code), or subject to any defense, reduction, setoff, recoupment or counterclaim: provided, however, in the event that there is a timely successful challenge, pursuant and subject to the limitations contained in paragraph 16 hereof, to the validity, enforceability, extent, perfection or priority of the Pre-Petition

15

Debt that the Court shall have the power to unwind or otherwise modify, after notice and hearing, the repayment of the Pre-Petition Debt or a portion thereof (which might include the disgorgement or re-allocation of interest, fees, principal or other incremental consideration paid in respect of the Pre-Petition Debt or the avoidance of liens and/or guarantees with respect to one or more of the Debtors), as the Court shall determine.

6. Superpriority Claims.

(a) Pursuant to section 364(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, all of the DIP Obligations shall constitute allowed claims against the Debtors with priority over any and all administrative expenses, diminution claims (including all Adequate Protection Obligations and Junior Adequate Protection Obligations (as defined below)) and all other claims against the Debtors, now existing or hereafter arising, of any kind whatsoever, including, without limitation, all administrative expenses of the kind specified in sections 503(b) and 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, and over any and all administrative expenses or other claims arising under sections 105, 326, 328, 330, 331, 503(b), 506(c) (upon entry of the Final Order, to the extent therein approved), 507(a), 507(b), 1113 or 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Superpriority Claims”), whether or not such expenses or claims may become secured by a judgment lien or other non-consensual lien, levy or attachment, which allowed claims shall be payable from and have recourse to all pre- and post-petition property of the Debtors and all proceeds thereof, subject only to the Carve Out to the extent specifically provided for herein.

(b) For purposes hereof, the “Carve Out” means (i) all fees required to be paid to the Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court and to the Office of the United States

16

Trustee under section 1930(a) of title 28 of the United States Code and section 3717 of title 31 of the United States Code, (ii) all reasonable fees and expenses incurred by a trustee under section 726(b) of the Bankruptcy Code not to exceed $100,000 and (iii) at any time after the first business day after the occurrence and during the continuance of a C/C Event of Default (as defined below) and delivery of notice thereof to (A) the United States Trustee for the Southern District of New York, (B) Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx LLP, 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, (Attention: Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Esq.) and  (C) counsel for the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors (the “Creditors’ Committee”) (the “Carve Out Notice”), to the extent allowed at any time, whether before or after delivery of a Carve Out Notice, whether by interim order, procedural order or otherwise, the payment of accrued and unpaid professional fees, costs and expenses incurred by persons or firms retained by the Debtors and the Creditors’ Committee (but excluding fees and expenses of third party professionals employed by such Creditors’ Committee’s members) and allowed by this Court (collectively, the “Professional Fees”), in an aggregate amount not exceeding $15,000,000 (the “Carve Out Cap”), which amount may be used subject to the terms of this Order (plus all unpaid Professional Fees allowed by this Court at any time that were incurred on or prior to the day immediately following the business day after delivery of the Carve Out Notice).  Immediately upon delivery of a Carve Out Notice, the Debtors shall be required to transfer from their concentration account to a segregated account (the “Carve Out Account”) not subject to the control of the Agent an amount equal to the Carve Out Cap; provided that, cash or other amounts on deposit in any account of the Agent into which

17

the Borrowers deposit cash for the benefit of the Agent’s L/C Exposure (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement), shall not be subject to the Carve Out.  The dollar limitation in this clause 6(b)(iii) on fees and expenses shall neither be reduced nor increased by the amount of any compensation or reimbursement of expenses incurred, awarded or paid prior to the delivery of a Carve Out Notice or by any fees, expenses, indemnities or other amounts paid to the Agent or any DIP Lender or such party’s respective attorneys and agents under the DIP Credit Agreement or otherwise.  The proceeds on deposit in the Carve Out Account shall be available only to satisfy obligations benefitting from the Carve Out, and the DIP Lenders (1) shall not sweep or foreclose on cash of the Debtors necessary to fund the Carve Out Account and (2) shall have a security interest in any residual interest in the Carve Out Account available following satisfaction in full of all obligations benefitting from the Carve Out.  Nothing herein shall be construed to impair the ability of any party to object to any of the fees, expenses, reimbursement or compensation described in clauses (A), (B) and (C) above.

7. DIP Liens.

As security for the DIP Obligations, effective and perfected upon the date of this Order and without the necessity of the execution, recordation of filings by the Debtors of mortgages, security agreements, control agreements, pledge agreements, financing statements or other similar documents, or the possession or control by the Agent of, or over, any Collateral (as defined below), the following security interests and liens are hereby granted to the Agent for its own benefit and the benefit of the DIP Lenders (all property identified in clauses (a), (b) and (c) below being collectively referred to as the

18

“Collateral”),(2) subject, only in the event of the occurrence and during the continuance of a C/C Event of Default (as defined below), to the payment of the Carve Out (all such liens and security interests granted to the Agent, for its benefit and for the benefit of the DIP Lenders and the Credit Parties (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement) pursuant to this Order and the DIP Documents, the “DIP Liens”):

(a) First Lien on Cash Balances and Unencumbered Property.  Pursuant to section 364(c)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, a valid, binding, continuing, enforceable, fully-perfected first priority senior security interest in and lien upon all pre- and post-petition property of the Debtors, whether existing on the Petition Date or thereafter acquired, that, on or as of the Petition Date (or as a result of the refinancing of the Pre-Petition Debt) is not subject to valid, perfected and non-avoidable liens (collectively, “Unencumbered Property”), including, without limitation, all cash and cash collateral of the Debtors (whether maintained with the Agent or otherwise) and any investment of such cash and cash collateral, inventory, accounts receivable, other rights to payment whether arising before or after the Petition Date, contracts, properties, plants, equipment, general intangibles, documents, instruments, interests in leaseholds, real properties, patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, other intellectual property, capital stock of subsidiaries, and the proceeds of all the foregoing.  Unencumbered Property shall exclude the Debtors’ claims and causes of action under sections 502(d), 544, 545, 547, 548, 549 and 550 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any other avoidance actions

(2)  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Borrower and the Guarantors shall not be required to pledge to the Agent in excess of 65% of the voting capital stock of its first tier foreign subsidiaries (if, in the reasonable judgment of the Borrower, a pledge of a greater percentage could result in material adverse tax consequences to the Borrower).

19

under the Bankruptcy Code (collectively, “Avoidance Actions”), but subject only to and effective upon entry of the Final Order, shall include any proceeds or property recovered, unencumbered or otherwise the subject of successful Avoidance Actions, whether by judgment, settlement or otherwise (“Avoidance Proceeds”).

(b) Liens Priming Pre-Petition Secured Lenders’ and Pre-Petition Secured Noteholders’ Liens.  Pursuant to section 364(d)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, a valid, binding, continuing, enforceable, fully-perfected first priority senior priming security interest in and lien upon all pre- and post-petition property of the Debtors (including, without limitation, cash collateral, inventory, accounts receivable, other rights to payment whether arising before or after the Petition Date, contracts, properties, plants, equipment, general intangibles, documents, instruments, interests in leaseholds, real properties, patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, other intellectual property, capital stock of subsidiaries, and the proceeds of all the foregoing), whether now existing or hereafter acquired, that is subject to the existing liens presently held by the Pre-Petition Secured Lenders and the Pre-Petition Secured Noteholders.  Such security interests and liens shall be senior in all respects to the interests in such property of the Pre-Petition Secured Lenders and the Pre-Petition Secured Noteholders arising from current and future liens of the Pre-Petition Secured Lenders and the Pre-Petition Secured Noteholders (including, without limitation, adequate protection liens granted hereunder), but shall not be senior to any valid, perfected and unavoidable interests of other parties arising out of liens, if any, on such property existing immediately prior to the Petition Date (for the avoidance of doubt, this does not relate to any liens that arise after, or were

20

not perfected prior to, the Petition Date, or to liens that arise after the Petition Date but purport to relate back to periods prior to the Petition Date), or to any valid, perfected and unavoidable interests in such property arising out of liens to which the liens of the Pre-Petition Secured Lenders and the Pre-Petition Secured Noteholders become subject subsequent to the Petition Date as permitted by section 546(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(c) Liens Junior to Certain Other Liens.  Pursuant to section 364(c)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, a valid, binding, continuing, enforceable, fully-perfected security interest in and lien upon all pre- and post-petition property of the Debtors (other than the property described in clauses (a) or (b) of this paragraph 7, as to which the liens and security interests in favor of the Agent will be as described in such clauses), whether now existing or hereafter acquired, that is subject to valid, perfected and unavoidable liens in existence immediately prior to the Petition Date (for the avoidance of doubt, this does not relate to any liens that arise after, or were not perfected prior to, the Petition Date, or to liens that arise after the Petition Date but purport to relate back to periods prior to the Petition Date) or to valid and unavoidable liens in existence immediately prior to the Petition Date that are perfected subsequent to the Petition Date as permitted by section 546(b) of the Bankruptcy Code (in each case, other than the Adequate Protection Liens and the Junior Adequate Protection Liens (each as defined below)), which security interests and liens in favor of the Agent are junior to such valid, perfected and unavoidable liens.

(d) Liens Senior to Certain Other Liens.  The DIP Liens, the Adequate Protection Liens and the Junior Adequate Protection Liens (as defined below) shall not be

21

subject or subordinate to (i) any lien or security interest that is avoided and preserved for the benefit of the Debtors and their estates under section 551 of the Bankruptcy Code or (ii) any liens arising after the Petition Date including, without limitation, any liens or security interests granted in favor of any federal, state, municipal or other governmental unit, commission, board or court for any liability of the Debtors.

8. Protection of DIP Lenders’ Rights.

(a) So long as there are any borrowings or letters of credit or other amounts (other than contingent indemnity obligations as to which no claim has been asserted when all other amounts have been paid and no letters of credit are outstanding) outstanding, or the DIP Lenders have any Commitment (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement) under the DIP Credit Agreement, the Pre-Petition Agent, the Pre-Petition Secured Lenders and the Pre-Petition Secured Noteholders shall (i) have no right to and take no action to foreclose upon or recover in connection with the liens granted thereto pursuant to the Existing Agreements, the Pre-Petition Note Indenture, the ICA (as defined below) or this Order, or otherwise seek or exercise any enforcement rights or remedies against any Collateral or in connection with the Contingent Pre-Petition Debt, the Adequate Protection Liens or the Junior Adequate Protection Liens, including, without limitation, in respect of the occurrence or continuance of any Event of Default (as defined in the Pre-Petition Credit Agreement and the Pre-Petition Note Indenture), (ii) be deemed to have consented to any release of Collateral authorized under the DIP Documents, (iii) not file any further financing statements, trademark filings, copyright filings, mortgages, notices of lien or similar instruments, or otherwise take any action to perfect their

22

security interests in the Collateral unless, solely as to this clause (iii), the DIP Lenders file financing statements or other documents to perfect the liens granted pursuant to this Order, or as may be required by applicable state law to continue the perfection of valid and unavoidable liens or security interests as of the date of filing and (iv) deliver or cause to be delivered, at the Debtors’ costs and expense (for which the Pre-Petition Secured Lenders and the Pre-Petition Secured Noteholders shall be reimbursed upon submission to the Debtors of invoices or billing statements), any termination statements, releases and/or assignments (to the extent provided for herein) in favor of the DIP Lenders or other documents necessary to effectuate and/or evidence the release, termination and/or assignment of the Adequate Protection Liens and the Junior Adequate Protection Liens on any portion of the Collateral subject to any sale or disposition approved or arranged for by the Agent.

(b) The automatic stay provisions of section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code are vacated and modified to the extent necessary to permit the Agent and the DIP Lenders to exercise, (i) upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement) and seven days’ prior written notice (which shall run concurrently with any notice provided under the DIP Documents) to the Debtors (with a copy to counsel to the Creditors’ Committee and to the U.S. Trustee), all rights and remedies under the DIP Documents other than those rights and remedies against the Collateral as provided in clause (ii) below, and (ii) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of such an Event of Default and seven days’ prior written notice (which shall run concurrently with any notice provided under the DIP Documents) to the Debtors (with a

23

copy to counsel to the Creditors’ Committee and to the U.S. Trustee), all rights and remedies against the Collateral provided for in the DIP Documents (including, without limitation, the right to setoff monies of the Debtors in accounts maintained with the Agent or any DIP Lender) and this Order.

(c) In any hearing regarding any exercise of rights or remedies, the only issue that may be raised by any party in opposition thereto shall be whether, in fact, an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and the Debtors, the Pre-Petition Secured Lenders and the Pre-Petition Secured Noteholders shall not be entitled to seek relief, including, without limitation, under section 105 of the Bankruptcy Code, to the extent such relief would in any way impair or restrict the rights and remedies of the Agent or the DIP Lenders set forth in this Order or the DIP Documents.  In no event shall the Agent, the DIP Lenders, the Pre-Petition Agent, the Pre-Petition Secured Lenders and the Pre-Petition Secured Noteholders be subject to the equitable doctrine of “marshaling” or any similar doctrine with respect to the Collateral.

9. Limitation on Charging Expenses Against Collateral.  Subject only to and effective upon entry of the Final Order and to the extent provided for therein, except to the extent of the Carve Out, no expenses of administration of the Cases or any future proceeding that may result therefrom, including liquidation in bankruptcy or other proceedings under the Bankruptcy Code, shall be charged against or recovered from the Collateral pursuant to section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar principle of law, without the prior written consent of the Agent or the Pre-Petition Agent, as the case may be, and no such consent shall be implied from any other action, inaction, or

24

acquiescence by the Agent, the DIP Lenders, the Pre-Petition Agent, the Pre-Petition Secured Lenders or the Pre-Petition Secured Noteholders.

10. The Cash Collateral.  To the extent any funds were on deposit with any Pre-Petition Secured Lender as of the Petition Date, including, without limitation, all funds deposited in, or credited to, an account of any Debtor with any Pre-Petition Secured Lender immediately prior to the filing of the Debtors’ bankruptcy petitions (the “Petition Time”) (regardless of whether, as of the Petition Time, such funds had been collected or made available for withdrawal by any such Debtor), and such funds (the “Deposited Funds”) are subject to rights of setoff, by virtue of such setoff rights, the Deposited Funds are subject to a lien in favor of such Pre-Petition Secured Lenders pursuant to sections 506(a) and 553 of the Bankruptcy Code.  The Pre-Petition Secured Lenders are obligated, to the extent provided in the Existing Agreements, to share the benefit of such liens and setoff rights with the other Pre-Petition Secured Lenders party to such Existing Agreements.  Any proceeds of the Pre-Petition Collateral (including the Deposited Funds or any other funds on deposit at the Pre-Petition Secured Lenders or at any other institution as of the Petition Date) are cash collateral of the Pre-Petition Secured Lenders within the meaning of section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.  The Deposited Funds and all such proceeds of Pre-Petition Collateral are referred to herein as “Cash Collateral.”

11. Use of Cash Collateral.  The Debtors are hereby authorized, subject to the terms and conditions of the DIP Documents and this Order, to use all Cash Collateral of the Pre-Petition Secured Lenders, and the Pre-Petition Secured Lenders are directed promptly to turn over to the Debtors all Cash Collateral received or held by them;

25

provided that the Pre-Petition Secured Lenders are granted adequate protection as provided herein.  The Debtors’ right to use Cash Collateral shall terminate automatically on the Termination Date (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement) upon the giving of five days’ prior written notice (which shall run concurrently with any notice provided under the DIP Documents) to the Debtors (with a copy to counsel to the Creditors’ Committee and to the U.S. Trustee).

12. Pre-Petition Secured Lenders’ and Pre-Petition Secured Noteholders’  Adequate Protection.  The Pre-Petition Secured Lenders are entitled, until the indefeasible repayment of the Pre-Petition Debt pursuant to sections 361, 363(e) and 364(d)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, to adequate protection of their interest in the Pre-Petition Collateral, including the Cash Collateral, for and equal in amount to the aggregate diminution in the value of the Pre-Petition Secured Lenders’ interest in the Pre-Petition Collateral, including, without limitation, any such diminution resulting from the sale, lease or use by the Debtors (or other decline in value) of Cash Collateral and any other Pre-Petition Collateral, the priming of the Pre-Petition Agent’s security interests and liens in the Pre-Petition Collateral by the Agent and the DIP Lenders pursuant to the DIP Documents and this Interim Order, and the imposition of the automatic stay pursuant to section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, in each case to the extent required by the Bankruptcy Code (collectively, the “Adequate Protection Obligations”).  As adequate protection for such Adequate Protection Obligations, the Pre-Petition Agent and the Pre-Petition Secured Lenders are hereby granted the following:

26

(a) Adequate Protection Liens.  The Pre-Petition Agent (for itself and for the benefit of the Pre-Petition Secured Lenders) is hereby granted (effective and perfected upon the date of this Order and without the necessity of the execution by the Debtors of mortgages, security agreements, pledge agreements, financing statements or other agreements), in the amount of such diminution, (i) a security interest in and lien upon all the Collateral, subject and subordinate only to (1) the DIP Liens  and any liens on the Collateral to which such liens so granted to the Agent are junior and (2) the Carve Out (such liens securing the Adequate Protection Obligations, together with the Contingent Adequate Protection Liens, the “Adequate Protection Liens”) and (ii) the Contingent Adequate Protection Liens to secure any Contingent Pre-Petition Debt.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (A) the Adequate Protection Liens granted to the Pre-Petition Secured Lenders hereunder (including the Contingent Adequate Protection Liens in respect of the Contingent Pre-Petition Debt) shall be senior to all Junior Adequate Protection Liens and be junior and subordinate in all respects to the DIP Lenders’ liens and security interests (including, without limitation, the DIP Liens) upon and in the Collateral and the Carve Out; (B) the Contingent Pre-Petition Debt shall be junior and subordinate in right of payment to all DIP Obligations and the Carve Out; (C) until such time as all of the DIP Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full in cash in accordance with the Loan Documents and this Interim Order, the Pre-Petition Secured Lenders shall have no right to seek or exercise any enforcement rights or remedies in connection with the Contingent Pre-Petition Debt or the Adequate Protection Liens, including, without limitation, in respect of the occurrence or continuance of any Event of

27

Default (as defined in the Pre-Petition Credit Agreement); (D) the Pre-Petition Agent and the Pre-Petition Secured Lenders have or shall be deemed to have consented to the Financing (which Financing shall, in part, constitute a DIP Financing as defined in the ICA (as defined below)) in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of August 4, 2009 by and between Bank of America, N.A. as collateral agent under the Pre-Petition Credit Agreement and Wilmington Trust Company as note collateral agent under the Pre-Petition Note Indenture (the “ICA”), attached to the Motion as Exhibit C; (E) the Pre-Petition Secured Lenders shall be deemed to have consented to any sale or disposition of Collateral approved, arranged for or by the Agent, and shall terminate and release upon any such sale or disposition all of its liens on and security interests in such Collateral (where the Agent also releases any DIP Liens as necessary); (F) the Pre-Petition Secured Lenders shall deliver or cause to be delivered, at the Debtors’ costs and expense (for which the Pre-Petition Secured Lenders shall be reimbursed upon submission to the Debtors of invoices or billing statements), any termination statements, releases or other documents necessary to effectuate and/or evidence the release and termination of the Pre-Petition Secured Lenders’ liens on or security interests in any portion of the Collateral subject to any sale or disposition approved or arranged for by the Agent (where the Agent also releases any DIP Liens as necessary); and (G) upon the Final Order becoming a final and nonappealable order and the expiration of the Challenge Period (as defined below) with no challenge having been brought, or if such a challenge is brought, until the entry of a final judgment and the payment to the Pre-Petition Agent and the Pre-Petition Secured Lenders of all amounts

28

owed by the Debtors under the Existing Agreements and this Order, the Adequate Protection Liens shall terminate and be released (automatically and without further action of the parties), and the Pre-Petition Secured Lenders shall execute and deliver such agreements to evidence and effectuate such termination and release as Agent may request and Agent shall be authorized to file on behalf of the Pre-Petition Secured Lenders such UCC termination statements or such other filings as may be applicable to the extent such authorization is required under the Uniform Commercial Code of the applicable jurisdiction.

(b) Refinancing of the Pre-Petition Debt.  Immediately following the entry of this Interim Order and as part of the initial borrowing under the Term Loan, the Debtors shall use a portion of the proceeds from the Financing in accordance with the DIP Documents and this Interim Order to refinance in full the Pre-Petition Debt then outstanding, upon which repayment, the existing liens on the Pre-Petition Collateral shall be released and terminated upon the expiration of the Challenge Period with no challenge having been brought, or if such a challenge is brought, until the entry of a final judgment and the payment to the Pre-Petition Agent and the Pre-Petition Secured Lenders of all amounts owed by the Debtors under the Existing Agreements and this Order, subject to paragraph 16 hereof.

(c) Section 507(b) Claim.  The Pre-Petition Agent and the Pre-Petition Secured Lenders are hereby granted, subject to the Carve Out, a superpriority claim as provided for in section 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code (the “507(b) Claim”), immediately junior to the claims under section 364(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code held by

29

the Agent and the DIP Lenders; provided, however, that the Pre-Petition Agent and the Pre-Petition Secured Lenders shall not receive or retain any payments, property or other amounts in respect of the superpriority claims under section 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code granted hereunder or under the Existing Agreements unless and until the DIP Obligations have indefeasibly been paid in cash in full.

(d) Interest, Fees and Expenses.  To the extent actually incurred, and subject to paragraph 16 hereof, the Pre-Petition Agent shall receive from the Debtors (i) immediate cash payment of all accrued and unpaid interest on the Pre-Petition Debt and letter of credit fees at the non-default rates provided for in the Existing Agreements, and all other accrued and unpaid fees and disbursements (including, but not limited to, fees owed to the Pre-Petition Agent) owing to the Pre-Petition Agent under the Existing Agreements and incurred prior to the Petition Date; (ii) current cash payments of all fees and expenses payable to the Pre-Petition Agent under the Existing Agreements limited to the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel to the Pre-Petition Agent  promptly upon receipt of invoices therefor; (iii) on the first business day of each month, all accrued but unpaid interest on the Pre-Petition Debt and letters of credit and other fees at the non-default contract rate applicable on the Petition Date (including LIBOR pricing options available in accordance with the Existing Agreements) under the Existing Agreements; provided that, without prejudice to the rights of any other party to contest such assertion, the Pre-Petition Secured Lenders reserve their rights to assert claims for the payment of additional interest calculated at any other applicable rate of interest (including, without limitation, default rates), or on any other basis, provided for in the Existing Agreements,

30

and for the payment of any other amounts provided for in the Existing Agreements; and (iv) the deposit, prior to the Petition Date, with the Pre-Petition Agent of $750,000 (the “Escrow Amount”) to be held in escrow by the Pre-Petition Agent (which payments shall not be subject to the DIP Liens, the Adequate Protection Liens and the Junior Adequate Protection Liens) and used solely to reimburse the Pre-Petition Agent, upon two business days’ notice to the Debtors and thereafter with no further order of this Court required, to the extent required by the Debtors to be paid by them to the Pre-Petition Agent and the Pre-Petition Secured Lenders in accordance with the terms of the Existing Agreements or by further order of the Court (any such payment, a “Payment Obligation”) (with any unused amounts subject to the liens hereunder in their order of priority) and without regard to the provisions of paragraph 8(a) or paragraph 12(a) hereof.  To the extent the Escrow Amount is not sufficient to cover the Payment Obligations, the Debtors shall remain liable for the Payment Obligations, which are and shall remain junior to the DIP Liens.

(e) Pre-Petition Secured Noteholders Adequate Protection.  The Pre-Petition Secured Noteholders are entitled, pursuant to sections 361, 363(e) and 364(d)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, to adequate protection of their interest in the Pre-Petition Collateral, for and equal in amount to the aggregate diminution in value of the Pre-Petition Secured Noteholders’ interests in the Pre-Petition Collateral, including, without limitation, any such diminution resulting from the sale, lease or use by the Debtors (or other decline in value) of the Pre-Petition Collateral, the priming of the Pre-Petition Secured Noteholders’ security interests and liens in the Pre-Petition Collateral by the

31

Agent and the DIP Lenders pursuant to the DIP Documents and this Interim Order, and the imposition of the automatic stay pursuant to section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code (collectively, the “Junior Adequate Protection Obligations”).  The Pre-Petition Secured Noteholders shall be granted valid, binding, continuing, enforceable, fully-perfected junior security interests in and liens upon all pre- and post-petition property of the Debtors that is subject to the DIP Liens and the Adequate Protection Liens (collectively, the “Junior Adequate Protection Liens”) in the amount of such diminution.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) the Junior Adequate Protection Liens granted to the Pre-Petition Secured Noteholders hereunder shall be junior and subordinate in all respects to the DIP Lenders’ liens and security interests (including, without limitation, the DIP Liens) upon and in the Collateral, the Adequate Protection Liens and the Carve Out; (ii) the Junior Adequate Protection Liens shall be junior and subordinate in right of payment to the Pre-Petition Debt, all DIP Obligations and Adequate Protection Obligations and the Carve Out; (iii) the 507(b) Claim granted to the Pre-Petition Secured Noteholders shall be junior to the 507(b) Claim granted to the Pre-Petition Agent and the Pre-Petition Secured Lenders and the Carve Out, (iv) until such time as all of the Pre-Petition Debt, the DIP Obligations and Adequate Protection Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full in cash in accordance with the Loan Documents and this Interim Order, the Pre-Petition Secured Noteholders shall have no right to seek or exercise any enforcement rights or remedies in connection with the Junior Adequate Protection Liens, including, without limitation, in respect of the occurrence or continuance of any Event of Default (as defined in the Pre-Petition Note Indenture); (v)

32

the Pre-Petition Secured Noteholders shall be deemed to have consented to any sale or disposition of Collateral approved, arranged for or by the Agent, and shall terminate and release upon any such sale or disposition all of its liens on and security interests in such Collateral; and (vi) the Pre-Petition Secured Noteholders shall deliver or cause to be delivered, at the Debtors’ costs and expense (for which the Pre-Petition Secured Noteholders shall be reimbursed upon submission to the Debtors of invoices or billing statements), any termination statements, releases or other documents necessary to effectuate and/or evidence the release and termination of the Pre-Petition Secured Noteholders’ liens on or security interests in any portion of the Collateral subject to any sale or disposition approved or arranged for by the Agent.

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph 12 to the contrary, following delivery of a Carve Out Notice and prior to the payment to any Pre-Petition Agent, Pre-Petition Secured Lender, Pre-Petition Trustee or Pre-Petition Secured Noteholder on account of any adequate protection or otherwise, the Carve Out Reserve Account shall have been fully funded.

13. Reservation of Rights of Pre-Petition Secured Lenders and Pre-Petition Secured Noteholders.  Under the circumstances, including the provisions under the ICA, and given that the above-described adequate protection is consistent with the Bankruptcy Code, including section 506(b) thereof, the Court finds that the adequate protection provided herein is reasonable and sufficient to protect the interests of the Pre-Petition Secured Lenders and the Pre-Petition Secured Noteholders.

33

14. Perfection of DIP Liens and Adequate Protection Liens.

(a) Subject to the provisions of paragraph 8(a) above, the Agent, the DIP Lenders, the Pre-Petition Agent and the Pre-Petition Secured Lenders are hereby authorized, but not required, to file or record financing statements, trademark filings, copyright filings, mortgages, notices of lien or similar instruments in any jurisdiction, or take possession of or control over, or take any other action in order to validate and perfect the liens and security interests granted to them hereunder.  Whether or not the Agent on behalf of the DIP Lenders or the Pre-Petition Agent on behalf of the Pre-Petition Secured Lenders shall, in their sole discretion, choose to file such financing statements, trademark filings, copyright filings, mortgages, notices of lien or similar instruments, or take possession of or control over, or otherwise confirm perfection of the liens and security interests granted to them hereunder, such liens and security interests shall be deemed valid, perfected, allowed, enforceable, non-avoidable and not subject to challenge dispute or subordination, at the time and on the date of entry of this Order.  Upon the request of the Agent, each of the Pre-Petition Agent and Pre-Petition Secured Lenders, without any further consent of any party, is authorized to take, execute, deliver and file such instruments (in each case without representation or warranty of any kind) to enable the Agent to further validate, perfect, preserve and enforce the DIP Liens.

(b) A certified copy of this Order may, in the discretion of the Agent, be filed with or recorded in filing or recording offices in addition to or in lieu of such financing statements, mortgages, notices of lien or similar instruments, and all filing offices are hereby authorized to accept such certified copy of this Order for filing and recording.

34

(c) Any provision of any lease or other license, contract or other agreement that requires (i) the consent or approval of one or more landlords or other parties or (ii) the payment of any fees or obligations to any governmental entity, in order for any Debtor to pledge, grant, sell, assign, or otherwise transfer any such leasehold interest, or the proceeds thereof, or other post-petition collateral related thereto, is hereby deemed to be inconsistent with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.  Any such provision shall have no force and effect with respect to the transactions granting post-petition liens in such leasehold interest, or the proceeds of any assignment and/or sale thereof by any Debtor, in favor of the DIP Lenders, the Pre-Petition Secured Lenders and the Pre-Petition Secured Noteholders in accordance with the terms of the DIP Documents or this Order.  This subparagraph 14(c), solely as to those 16 leases referenced and addressed at the Interim Hearing and solely for the period between the entry of this Order and the Final Hearing, is not applicable, with such 16 leases instead subject to all of the representations and limitations agreed to by the parties at the Interim Hearing.

15. Preservation of Rights Granted Under the Order.

(a) Except as otherwise provided for herein, no claim or lien having a priority superior to or pari passu with those granted by this Order to the Agent and the DIP Lenders, the Pre-Petition Agent, the Pre-Petition Secured Lenders and the Pre-Petition Secured Noteholders, respectively, shall be granted or allowed while any portion of the Pre-Petition Debt, the Financing (or any refinancing thereof) or the Commitments thereunder or the DIP Obligations, the Adequate Protection Obligations or the Junior

35

Adequate Protection Obligations remain outstanding, and the DIP Liens, the Adequate Protection Liens and the Junior Adequate Protection Liens shall not be (i) subject or junior to any lien or security interest that is avoided and preserved for the benefit of the Debtors’ estates under section 551 of the Bankruptcy Code or (ii) subordinated to or made pari passu with any other lien or security interest, whether under section 364(d) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, in each case other than the Carve Out.

(b) Unless all DIP Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full (and, with respect to outstanding letters of credit issued pursuant to the DIP Credit Agreement, cash collateralized in accordance with the provisions of the DIP Credit Agreement) and the Pre-Petition Debt, Adequate Protection Obligations and the Junior Adequate Protection Obligations shall have been paid in full, the Debtors shall not seek, and it shall constitute a “C/C Event of Default” and terminate the right of the Debtors to use Cash Collateral if any of the Debtors seeks, or if there is entered, (i) any modifications or extensions of this Order without the prior written consent of the Agent, and no such consent shall be implied by any other action, inaction or acquiescence by the Agent, (ii) an order converting or dismissing any of the Cases or (iii) an order under section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code rejecting a Lease (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement) that is part of, or whose premises contain any, Collateral or otherwise terminating any such Lease without first providing 75-days’ prior written notice to the Agent (unless such notice provision is waived by the Agent) during which time the Agent shall be permitted to find a reasonably acceptable (in the Agent’s Permitted Discretion (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement)) replacement lessee to whom such Lease may

36

be assigned (and, if such a prospective assignee is timely found, the Debtors shall seek approval of the assumption and assignment of such Lease); provided that this clause (iii) shall not apply to Leases that are rejected (A) pursuant to a filing on the Petition Date or (B) on the Effective Date of a Reorganization Plan (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement) that indefeasibly repays the DIP Obligations in full as required by the DIP Documents.  If an order dismissing any of the Cases under section 1112 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise is at any time entered, such order shall provide (in accordance with sections 105 and 349 of the Bankruptcy Code) that (i) the Superpriority Claims, priming liens, security interests and replacement security interests granted to the Agent and the DIP Lenders and, as applicable, the Pre-Petition Agent and the Pre-Petition Secured Lenders pursuant to this Order shall continue in full force and effect and shall maintain their priorities as provided in this Order until all DIP Obligations, Pre-Petition Debt, Adequate Protection Obligations and Junior Adequate Protection Obligations shall have been paid and satisfied in full (and that such Superpriority Claims, priming liens and replacement security interests, shall, notwithstanding such dismissal, remain binding on all parties in interest) and (ii) this Court shall retain jurisdiction, notwithstanding such dismissal, for the purposes of enforcing the claims, liens and security interests referred to in (i) above.

(c) If any or all of the provisions of this Order are hereafter reversed, modified, vacated or stayed, such reversal, stay, modification or vacation shall not affect (i) the validity of any DIP Obligations, Pre-Petition Debt, Adequate Protection Obligations or Junior Adequate Protection Obligations incurred prior to the actual receipt

37

of written notice by the Agent or Pre-Petition Agent, as applicable, of the effective date of such reversal, stay, modification or vacation or (ii) the validity or enforceability of any lien or priority authorized or created hereby or pursuant to the DIP Credit Agreement with respect to any DIP Obligations, Pre-Petition Debt, Adequate Protection Obligations or Junior Adequate Protection Obligations.  Notwithstanding any such reversal, stay, modification or vacation, any use of Cash Collateral, or DIP Obligations, Pre-Petition Debt, Adequate Protection Obligations or Junior Adequate Protection Obligations incurred by the Debtors to the Agent, the DIP Lenders, the Pre-Petition Agent, the Pre-Petition Secured Lenders or the Pre-Petition Secured Noteholders prior to the actual receipt of written notice by the Agent and Pre-Petition Agent of the effective date of such reversal, stay, modification or vacation shall be governed in all respects by the original provisions of this Order, and the Agent, DIP Lenders, Pre-Petition Agent, Pre-Petition Secured Lenders and Pre-Petition Secured Noteholders shall be entitled to all the rights, remedies, privileges and benefits granted in section 364(e) of the Bankruptcy Code (including, without limitation, in respect of any payments received in connection with the refinancing of the Pre-Petition Debt), this Order and pursuant to the DIP Documents with respect to all uses of Cash Collateral, DIP Obligations, Adequate Protection Obligations and Junior Adequate Protection Obligations.

(d) Except as expressly provided in this Order or in the DIP Documents, the DIP Liens, the Superpriority Claims and all other rights and remedies of the Agent and the DIP Lenders granted by the provisions of this Order and the DIP Documents shall survive, and shall not be modified, impaired or discharged by (i) the

38

entry of an order converting any of the Cases to a case under chapter 7, dismissing any of the Cases, terminating the joint administration of these Cases or by any other act or omission, (ii) the entry of an order approving the sale of any Collateral pursuant to section 363(b) of the Bankruptcy Code (except to the extent permitted by the Loan Documents) or (iii) the entry of an order confirming a plan of reorganization in any of the Cases and, pursuant to section 1141(d)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors have waived any discharge as to any remaining DIP Obligations.  The terms and provisions of this Order and the DIP Documents shall continue in these Cases, in any successor cases if these Cases cease to be jointly administered, or in any superseding chapter 7 cases under the Bankruptcy Code, and the DIP Liens, the Superpriority Claims and all other rights and remedies of the Agent and the DIP Lenders granted by the provisions of this Order and the DIP Documents shall continue in full force and effect until the DIP Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full.

16. Effect of Stipulations on Third Parties.  The stipulations and admissions contained in this Order, including, without limitation, in paragraph 3 of this Order, shall be binding upon the Debtors (but not their estates) and any successor thereto (including, without limitation, any chapter 7 or chapter 11 trustee appointed or elected for any of the Debtors) in all circumstances.  The stipulations and admissions contained in this Order, including, without limitation, in paragraph 3 of this Order, shall be binding upon all other parties in interest, including, without limitation, any statutory committee appointed in these Cases or any other person or entity acting on behalf of the Debtors’ estates, unless (a) a party in interest has timely filed an adversary proceeding or contested matter

39

Exhibit F

Form of Pledge Agreement

Pledge Agreement

PLEDGE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of December 14, 2010, among THE GREAT ATLANTIC & PACIFIC TEA COMPANY, INC., a Maryland corporation, a debtor and debtor-in-possession in a case pending under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (as defined in the Credit Agreement, defined herein) (the “Company”), each subsidiary of the Company listed on Schedule I hereto (each such subsidiary a debtor and debtor-in-possession, individually a “Pledgor” and collectively with the Company, the “Pledgors”) and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., a national banking association (“JPMorgan Chase Bank”), as collateral agent (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”) for the Secured Parties (as defined in the Security Agreement defined below).

Reference is made to (a) the Superpriority Debtor-in Possession Credit Agreement dated as of December 14, 2010 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Company as a Borrower, the other Borrowers party thereto, the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”), and JPMorgan Chase Bank, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, (b) the Guaranty, dated as of December 14, 2010 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Guaranty”), made by the Guarantors named therein (the “Guarantors”) in favor of the Collateral Agent for its own benefit and the benefit of the other Secured Parties, and (c) the Security Agreement, dated as of December 14, 2010 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Security Agreement”), among the Grantors named therein and the Collateral Agent. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement. Unless otherwise defined herein or in the Credit Agreement or the Security Agreement or the context otherwise requires, the following terms, together with uncapitalized terms used herein which are defined in the UCC (as defined in the Credit Agreement), have the respective meanings provided in the UCC: (i) Certificated Security, (ii) Financial Asset; (iii) Investment Property; (iv) Payment Intangibles; (v) Proceeds; (vi) Securities Account; (vii) Securities Intermediary; (viii) Security; (ix) Security Certificate; (x) Uncertificated Security; and (xi) Security Entitlement.

The Lenders have agreed to make Loans to the Borrowers, and the Issuing Bank has agreed to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrowers, pursuant to, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions specified in, the Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the Guaranty each of the Guarantors has agreed to guarantee, among other things, all the obligations of the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The obligations of the Lenders to make Loans and of the Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit are conditioned upon, among other things, the execution and delivery by the Pledgors of an agreement in the form hereof to secure the Obligations (as defined in the Security Agreement).

Accordingly, the Pledgors and the Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and each Secured Party (and each of their respective successors or assigns), hereby agree as follows:

1.          Pledge.  To supplement the security interests set forth in the Interim Order (and, when applicable, the Final Order), as security for the payment and performance, as the case may be, in full of the Obligations, howsoever created, arising or evidenced, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, now or hereafter existing or due or to become due, each Pledgor hereby pledges to the Collateral Agent, its successors and assigns, and hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, its successors and assigns, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in all of the Pledgor’s right, title and interest in, to and under: (a) all Equity Interests owned by it representing ownership interests in the Subsidiaries listed on Schedule II hereto and any Equity Interests representing ownership interests in any Subsidiaries obtained in the future by each Pledgor and all other Securities, Securities Entitlements, Securities Accounts and other Investment Property or Financial Asset and the Security Certificates and/or Instruments representing all such Equity Interests (the “Pledged Securities”); provided that the Pledged Securities shall not include (i) more than 65% of the issued and outstanding voting Equity Interests of any first tier Foreign Subsidiary, (ii) to the extent that applicable law requires that a Subsidiary of the Pledgor issue directors’ qualifying shares, such qualifying shares, (iii) a pledge of a greater percentage of such stock could reasonably be expected to result in material adverse tax consequences to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as reasonably determined by the Company; (iv) any permit, lease, license, contract, agreement, or other instrument to which any Pledgor is a party to the extent such Pledgor is prohibited from granting a Lien in its rights thereunder pursuant to the terms of such permit, lease, license, contract, agreement, or other instrument or under Applicable Law (other than to the extent that any restriction on such assignment would be rendered ineffective pursuant to Sections 9-406, 9-407, 9-408 or 9-409 of the UCC (or any successor provision or provisions) of any relevant jurisdiction or any other Applicable Law, including the Bankruptcy Code or any Order of the Bankruptcy Court entered in connection with the Cases, or principles of equity); provided that the Proceeds from any such lease, license, contract, agreement, or other instrument shall not be excluded from the definition of Collateral to the extent that the assignment of such Proceeds is not prohibited; (v) the Bermuda Shares (as defined in the Security Agreement); and (vi) the joint venture interest owned by Xxxxxxxx, Inc. in XxXxxx Plaza Associates to the extent Xxxxxxxx, Inc. is prohibited from granting a Lien in its rights therein pursuant to the terms of any shareholder or other agreement relating to such joint venture; provided that the Proceeds from such joint venture interest shall not be excluded from the definition of Collateral to the extent that the assignment of such Proceeds is not prohibited; (b) subject to Section 5, all payments of principal or interest, dividends, cash, instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed or distributable, in respect of, in exchange for or upon the conversion of the Pledged Securities referred to in clause (a) above; (c) subject to Section 5, all rights and privileges of the Pledgor with respect to the

2

Pledged Securities and other property referred to in clauses (a) and (b) above; and (d) all Proceeds of any of the foregoing (the items referred to in clauses (a) through (d) above being collectively referred to as the “Collateral”). Upon delivery to the Collateral Agent, (1) any stock certificates or other Certificated Securities now or hereafter included in the Collateral shall be accompanied by stock powers duly executed in blank or other instruments of transfer reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and by such other instruments and documents as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request and (2) all other property comprising part of the Collateral shall be accompanied by proper instruments of assignment duly executed by the applicable Pledgor and such other instruments or documents as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request. Each delivery of Pledged Securities shall be accompanied by a schedule describing the Pledged Securities theretofore and then being pledged hereunder, which schedule shall be attached hereto as Schedule II and made a part hereof. Each schedule so delivered shall supplement any prior schedules so delivered.

TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the Collateral, together with all right, title, interest, powers, privileges and preferences pertaining or incidental thereto, unto the Collateral Agent, its successors and assigns, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, forever; subject, however, to the terms, covenants and conditions hereinafter set forth.

(v)          in the case of cash, comply with the provisions of Section 5.14 of the Credit Agreement; and

(vi)         upon the Collateral Agent’s request, in each case perform or cause the performance of such additional or alternative procedures as may hereafter become appropriate to grant control of, or otherwise perfect a security interest in, any Collateral in favor of the Collateral Agents or their nominee or custodian, consistent with changes in Applicable Law, including the Bankruptcy Code or any Order of the Bankruptcy Court entered in connection with the Cases, or regulations or the interpretation thereof.

(b)         except for the security interest granted hereunder and except as may otherwise be permitted pursuant to Sections 6.02 and 6.05 of the Credit Agreement, the Pledgor (i) is and will at all times continue to be the direct owner, beneficially and of record, of the Pledged Securities indicated on Schedule II, (ii) holds the same free and clear of all Liens other than Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties as permitted by the Credit Agreement and the Orders, (iii) will make no assignment, pledge, hypothecation or transfer of, or create or permit to exist any security interest in or other Lien on, the Collateral, other than pursuant hereto, and (iv) will cause any and all Collateral, whether for value paid by the Pledgor or otherwise, to be forthwith pledged or assigned hereunder, and, to the extent required by terms hereof, delivered to or deposited with the Collateral Agent;

(c)          no Collateral is in the possession or control of any Person asserting any claim thereto or security interest therein, except that the Collateral Agent or its nominees, custodian or a Securities Intermediary acting on its behalf may have possession and/or control of Collateral as contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents;

(d)         the Pledgor (i) has the power and authority to pledge the Collateral in the manner hereby done or contemplated and (ii) will defend its title or interest thereto or therein against any and all Liens (other than the Lien created by this Agreement and Liens expressly permitted by Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement arising by operation of law) however arising, of all persons whomsoever;

(e)          no consent of any other person (including equity holders or creditors of any Pledgor) and no consent or approval of any Governmental Authority or any securities exchange, other than the Interim Order (and, when applicable, the Final Order), was or is necessary to the validity of the pledge effected hereby, or to the exercise by the Collateral Agent of its remedies hereunder, including the disposition of the Collateral upon the occurrence of an Event of Default in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents;

(f)          upon and subject to the entry of the Interim Order, the Collateral Agent will obtain a valid and perfected first lien upon and security interest in such Pledged Securities as security for the payment and

5

performance of the Obligations, subject only to Liens permitted under Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement;

(g)         the pledge hereby and by the entry of the Interim Order is effective to vest in the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, the rights of a secured party in the Collateral as set forth herein and therein;

(h)         all of the Pledged Securities have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and (to the extent representing the capital stock of a corporation) nonassessable;

Such Pledgor shall not in any event change its name or location (determined as provided in Section 9-307 of the UCC), if such change would cause the Security Interests in any Collateral to lapse or cease to be perfected unless such Pledgor has taken on or before the date of lapse all actions necessary to ensure that the Security Interests in the Collateral do not lapse or cease to be perfected;

(m)         such Pledgor will not sell, exchange, assign or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any Collateral or create or suffer to exist any Lien (other than the Security Interests and Liens permitted under Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement) on any Collateral except that, such Pledgor may sell, exchange, assign or otherwise dispose of, or grant options with respect to, Collateral to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement, whereupon, in the case of any such disposition, the Security Interests created hereby in such item (but not in any Proceeds

received by such Pledgor arising from such disposition) shall cease immediately without any further action on the part of the Collateral Agent;

(n)         in the event that any issuer of Collateral at any time issues any additional or substitute stock, other securities, limited liability company membership interests, partnership interests, promissory notes or other instruments to such Pledgor, such Pledgor will promptly deliver all such items to the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 2 to hold as Collateral hereunder; and

4.          Registration in Nominee Name; Denominations.  The Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall have the right (in its sole and absolute discretion) to hold the Pledged Securities in the name of the Pledgors, endorsed or assigned in blank or in favor of the Collateral Agent or, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in its own name as pledgee or the name of its nominee (as pledgee or as sub-agent). Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent shall have the right (as it reasonably deems necessary), and after the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default shall have the absolute right, to exchange the certificates representing Pledged Securities for certificates of smaller or larger denominations for any purpose consistent with this Agreement.

5.          Voting Rights; Dividends and Interest, etc.

(a)          Unless and until an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and delivery by the Collateral Agent to the applicable Pledgor of a notice of its intent to exercise its rights hereunder:

(i)           Each Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and/or other consensual rights and powers inuring to an owner of Pledged Securities or any part thereof for any purpose consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that such Pledgor will not be entitled to exercise any such right if the result thereof could materially and adversely affect the rights inuring to a holder of the Pledged Securities or the rights and remedies of any of the Secured Parties under this Agreement or the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or the ability of the Secured Parties to exercise the same.

(ii)          The Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to each Pledgor, or cause to be executed and delivered to each

7

Pledgor, all such proxies, powers of attorney and other instruments as such Pledgor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Pledgor to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to subparagraph (i) above and to receive the cash dividends it is entitled to receive pursuant to paragraph (b) below.

(b)         Prior to the occurrence of the Cash Dominion Implementation Date and subject to the Orders, each Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all cash dividends, interest and principal paid on the Pledged Securities to the extent and only to the extent that such cash dividends, interest and principal are permitted by, and otherwise paid in accordance with, the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and Applicable Law. All Pledged Securities, whether received as a dividend or other distribution, or resulting from a subdivision, combination or reclassification of the outstanding Equity Interests of the issuer of any Pledged Securities or received in exchange for Pledged Securities or any part thereof, or in redemption thereof, or as a result of any merger, consolidation, acquisition or other exchange of assets to which such issuer may be a party or otherwise, shall be and become part of the Collateral, and, if received by any Pledgor, shall not be commingled by such Pledgor with any of its other funds or property but shall be held separate and apart therefrom, shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, and all Pledged Securities in respect thereof shall be promptly delivered to the Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).

(c)          From and after the Cash Dominion Implementation Date and subject to the Orders, all rights of any Pledgor to dividends, interest or principal that such Pledgor is authorized to receive pursuant to paragraph (b) above shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to receive and retain such dividends, interest or principal. All dividends, interest or principal received by the Pledgor contrary to the provisions of this Section 5 shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from other property or funds of such Pledgor and shall be promptly deposited in the Agent’s Account or otherwise delivered to the Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement). Any and all money and other property paid over to or received by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph (c) shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.14 of the Credit Agreement.

(d)         Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and delivery by the Collateral Agent to the applicable Pledgor of a notice of its intent to exercise its rights hereunder and subject

8

to the Orders, all rights of any Pledgor to exercise the voting and consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 5, and the obligations of the Collateral Agent under paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 5, shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise such voting and consensual rights and powers, provided that, unless otherwise directed by the Required Lenders, the Collateral Agent shall have the right from time to time following and during the continuance of an Event of Default to permit the Pledgors to exercise such rights. After all Events of Default have been cured or waived, such Pledgor will have the right to exercise the voting and consensual rights and powers that it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a)(i) above.

6.        Remedies upon Default.

(a)          Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and to the extent permitted by and otherwise subject to the Orders, subject to applicable regulatory and legal requirements, the Collateral Agent may (with a copy to counsel for the Creditors’ Committee and to the U.S. Trustee) sell the Collateral, or any part thereof, at public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Collateral Agent shall deem appropriate (provided that the Administrative Agent shall provide the Company (with a copy to counsel for the Creditors’ Committee and to the U.S. Trustee) within seven (7) Business Days’ written notice prior to taking the action contemplated herein; in any hearing after the giving of the aforementioned notice, the only issue that may be raised by any party in opposition thereto being whether, in fact, an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). The Collateral Agent shall be authorized at any such sale (if it deems it commercially reasonable to do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof and upon consummation of any such sale the Collateral Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Pledgor, and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Pledgors hereby waive all rights of redemption, stay, valuation and appraisal any Pledgor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.

(b)         The Collateral Agent shall give a Pledgor ten (10) days’ prior written notice, as such notices may be required by the Bankruptcy Court and any Orders of it, (which each Pledgor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the Uniform Commercial

Code as in effect in the State of New York or its equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Collateral Agent’s intention to make any sale of such Pledgor’s Collateral. Such notice shall contain the information specified in Section 9-613 of the UCC and, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange and, in the case of a private sale, shall state the day after which such sale may be consummated. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Collateral Agent may fix and state in the notice of such sale. At any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Collateral Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine to be commercially reasonable. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given. The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Collateral Agent until the sale price is paid in full by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law and the Orders, private) sale made pursuant to this Section 6, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free from any right of redemption, stay or appraisal on the part of any Pledgor (all said rights being also hereby waived and released), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to it from such Pledgor as a credit against the purchase price, and it may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to such Pledgor therefor. For purposes hereof, (1) a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof, (2) the Collateral Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and (3) such Pledgor shall not be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Collateral Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Obligations paid in full; provided, however, that all proceeds from such sale shall be applied in the manner provided in Section 7 below. As an alternative to exercising

10

the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Collateral Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose upon the Collateral and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver. Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6 shall be deemed to conform to the commercially reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-627 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York or its equivalent in other jurisdictions.

7.          Application of Proceeds of Sale.

(a)          After the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the proceeds of any sale of Collateral pursuant to Section 6, as well as any Collateral consisting of cash, shall be applied by the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 6.02 of the Security Agreement.

(b)         Subject to the Credit Agreement and the Orders, the Collateral Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any sale of the Collateral by the Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the purchase money by the Collateral Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.

8.          Reimbursement of Collateral Agent.

(a)          Without limitation of its indemnification obligations under the other Loan Documents, each Pledgor agrees to reimburse and indemnify the Collateral Agent in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

9.          Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact.

(a)          Each Pledgor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent and any other officer or agent thereof the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of such Pledgor for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument that the Collateral Agent may deem reasonably necessary or advisable (in its reasonable judgment) to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall have the right, (i) from and after the Cash Dominion Implementation Date, with full power of

11

substitution either in the Collateral Agent’s name or in the name of such Pledgor, to endorse checks, drafts, orders and other instruments for the payment of money payable to the Pledgor representing any interest or dividend or other distribution payable in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof or on account thereof and to give full discharge for the same, and to take any other action necessary to effectuate the provisions of Section 5(c) hereof and (ii) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, with full power of substitution either in the Collateral Agent’s name or in the name of such Pledgor, to ask for, demand, xxx for, collect, receive and give acquittance for any and all moneys due or to become due under and by virtue of any Collateral, to settle, compromise, prosecute or defend any action, claim or proceeding with respect thereto, and to sell, assign, endorse, pledge, transfer and to make any agreement respecting, or otherwise deal with, the same; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring or obligating the Collateral Agent to make any commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Collateral Agent, or to present or file any claim or notice, or to take any action with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys due or to become due in respect thereof or any property covered thereby. The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts actually received as a result of the exercise of the powers granted to them herein, and neither they nor their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Pledgor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

10.        Waivers; Amendment

(a)          No failure or delay of the Collateral Agent in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder and of the other Secured Parties under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provisions of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Pledgor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on any Pledgor in any case shall entitle such Pledgor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b)         Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to a written agreement

12

entered into between the Collateral Agent and the Pledgor or Pledgors with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement.

11.        Securities Act, etc.  In view of the position of the Pledgors in relation to the Pledged Securities, or because of other current or future circumstances, a question may arise under the Securities Act of 1933, as now or hereafter in effect, or any similar statute hereafter enacted analogous in purpose or effect (such Act and any such similar statute as from time to time in effect being called the “Federal Securities Laws”) with respect to any disposition of the Pledged Securities permitted hereunder. Each Pledgor understands that compliance with the Federal Securities Laws might very strictly limit the course of conduct of the Collateral Agent if the Collateral Agent were to attempt to dispose of all or any part of the Pledged Securities, and might also limit the extent to which or the manner in which any subsequent transferee of any Pledged Securities could dispose of the same. Similarly, there may be other legal restrictions or limitations affecting the Collateral Agent in any attempt to dispose of all or part of the Pledged Securities under applicable Blue Sky or other state securities laws or similar laws analogous in purpose or effect. Each Pledgor recognizes that in light of such restrictions and limitations the Collateral Agent may, with respect to any sale of the Pledged Securities, limit the purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire such Pledged Securities for their own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that in light of such restrictions and limitations, the Collateral Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, (a) may proceed to make such a sale whether or not a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Pledged Securities or part thereof shall have been filed under the Federal Securities Laws and (b) may approach and negotiate with a single potential purchaser to effect such sale. Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any such sale might result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale without such restrictions. In the event of any such sale, the Collateral Agent shall incur no responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the Pledged Securities at a price that the Collateral Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, may in good xxxxx xxxx reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might have been realized if the sale were deferred until after registration as aforesaid or if more than a single purchaser were approached. The provisions of this Section 11 will apply notwithstanding the existence of a public or private market upon which the quotations or sales prices may exceed substantially the price at which the Collateral Agent sells.

12.        Security Interest Absolute.  Subject to the Interim Order (and, when applicable, the Final Order) all rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder, the grant of a security interest in the Collateral and all obligations of each Pledgor hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, any

13

agreement with respect to any of the Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing; (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing; (c) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to or departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the Obligations; (d) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, acceleration, waiver or release in respect of any obligation of any other Pledgor under any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument evidencing or securing any Obligation, by operation of law or otherwise; (e) any change in the existence, structure or ownership of any Pledgor, or any liquidation or other similar proceeding (including the Cases) affecting any Pledgor or its assets or any resulting disallowance, release or discharge of all or any portion of any Obligation; (f) the existence of any claim, set-off or other right which any Pledgor may have at any time against the Borrower, any other Pledgor, any Agent, any other Secured Party or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or any unrelated transaction; provided that nothing herein shall prevent the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim; (g) any failure by any Secured Party: (i) to file or enforce a claim against any Pledgor or its estate (in a bankruptcy or other proceeding); (ii) to give notice of the existence, creation or incurrence by any Pledgor of any new or additional indebtedness or obligation under or with respect to the Obligations; (iii) to commence any action against any Pledgor; (iv) to disclose to any Pledgor any facts which such Secured Party may now or hereafter know with regard to any Pledgor; or (v) to proceed with due diligence in the collection, protection or realization upon any collateral securing the Obligations; (h) any direction as to application of payment by the Borrowers, any other Pledgor or any other Person; (i) any subordination by any Secured Party of the payment of any Obligation to the payment of any other liability (whether matured or unmatured) of any Pledgor to its creditors; (j) any act or failure to act by any Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party under this Agreement or otherwise which may deprive any Pledgor of any right to subrogation, contribution or reimbursement against any other Pledgor or any right to recover full indemnity for any payments made by such Pledgor in respect of the Obligations; (k) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by any Pledgor or any Secured Party or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this clause, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of any Pledgor’ s obligations hereunder; or (l) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Pledgor in respect of the Obligations or in respect of this Agreement (other than the indefeasible payment in full of all the Obligations and the termination of the commitments of the Lenders).

13.        Termination or Release

(a)          This Agreement and the security interests granted hereby shall terminate when all the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in

14

full (other than contingent indemnification obligations with respect to then unasserted claims which, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Hedging Agreements described in clause (d) of the definition of Obligations, survive the termination of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Hedging Agreements described in clause (d) of the definition of Obligations, the Lenders have no further commitment to lend, the L/C Exposure and any Obligations in respect of Bank Products or Cash Management Services have been reduced to zero or collateralized to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank has no further commitment to issue Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement) or as set forth in the applicable order of the Bankruptcy Court.

(b)           In the event that all of the Equity Interests of such Pledgor shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of to a person that is not an Affiliate of any Borrower (i) in accordance with the terms of Section 6.05 of the Credit Agreement or (ii) if the Required Lenders shall have consented to such sale, transfer or other disposition (to the extent required by the Credit Agreement) and the terms of such consent did not provide otherwise, the security interest in such Collateral shall be automatically released.

(c)           In connection with any termination or release pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b), the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to any Pledgor, at such Pledgor’s expense, all documents that such Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 13 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Collateral Agent.

14.        Notices.  All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to any Subsidiary Pledgor shall be given to it at the address for notices set forth on Schedule I.

15.        Further Assurances.  Subject to the Orders and to the extent required by Section 5.13 of the Credit Agreement, each Pledgor agrees to do such further acts and things, and to execute and deliver such additional conveyances, assignments, agreements and instruments, as the Collateral Agent may at any time reasonably request in connection with the administration and enforcement of this Agreement or with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or in order better to assure and confirm unto the Collateral Agent its rights and remedies hereunder. Such Pledgor will, from time to time at its expense and in such manner and form as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, execute, deliver, file and record any financing statement, specific assignment, instrument, document, agreement or other paper and take any other action (including, without limitation, any filings of financing or continuation statements under the UCC) that from time to time may be necessary or advisable, or that the Collateral Agent may request, in order to

15

create, preserve, perfect, confirm or validate the Security Interests or to enable the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties to obtain the full benefit of this Agreement or to exercise and enforce any of its rights, powers and remedies created hereunder or under Applicable Law with respect to any of the Collateral. Such Pledgor shall maintain the security interests created by this Agreement as security interests having at least the priority described in Section 3(b) and shall defend such security interests and such priority against the claims and demands of all Persons to the extent adverse to such Pledgor’s ownership rights or otherwise inconsistent with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, such Pledgor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to execute and file, in the name of such Pledgor or otherwise and without the signature or other separate authorization or authentication of such Pledgor appearing thereon, such UCC financing statements or continuation statements as the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion may deem necessary or appropriate to further perfect or maintain the perfection of the Security Interests. The Pledgors shall pay the costs of, or incidental to, any recording or filing of any financing or continuation statements concerning the Collateral.

16.        Binding Effect; Several Agreement; Assignments.  Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of any Pledgor that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of its successors and assigns. This Agreement shall become effective as to any Pledgor when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Pledgor shall have been delivered to the Collateral Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Collateral Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon such Pledgor and the Collateral Agent and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of such Pledgor, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Pledgor shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein or in the Collateral (and any such attempted assignment shall be void), except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. A Pledgor shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder and the security interest in the Collateral of such Pledgor shall be automatically released in the event that all the capital stock of such Pledgor shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of to a person that is not an Affiliate of any Borrower (i) in accordance with the terms of Section 6.05 of the Credit Agreement or (ii) if the Required Lenders shall have consented to such sale, transfer or other disposition (to the extent required by the Credit Agreement) and the terms of such consent did not provide otherwise. Upon any sale or other transfer by any Pledgor of any Collateral that is permitted under the Credit Agreement to any person that is not a Pledgor, or, upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security interest granted hereby in any Collateral pursuant to Section 9.02(b) of the Credit Agreement, the security interest in such Collateral shall be automatically released. This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Pledgor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with

16

respect to any Pledgor without the approval of any other Pledgor and without affecting the obligations of any other Pledgor hereunder.

17.        Survival of Agreement; Severability

(a)          All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by each Pledgor herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans and the issuance of the Letters of Credit by the Issuing Bank, regardless of any investigation made by the Secured Parties or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect until this Agreement shall terminate.

(b)         In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

18.       GOVERNING LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (EXCEPT FOR THE CONFLICT OF LAWS RULES THEREOF, BUT INCLUDING GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402) AND (TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE) THE BANKRUPTCY CODE.

19.        Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute a single contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 16. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

20.        Rules of Interpretation.  The rules of interpretation specified in Section 1.03 of the Credit Agreement shall be applicable to this Agreement.

in the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Security Agreement, this Agreement shall control.

21.        Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

(a)          Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and, if the Bankruptcy Court does not have (or abstains from) jurisdiction, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any of the Pledgors or their respective properties in the courts of any jurisdiction

(b)         Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(c)          Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 14. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

22.       WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT,

18

TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

23.        Additional Pledgors.  Pursuant to Section 5.12 of the Credit Agreement, each Subsidiary of the Company that that was not in existence or not a Subsidiary on the date of the Credit Agreement is required to become a Loan Party and to enter in this Agreement as a Subsidiary Pledgor upon becoming a Subsidiary if such Subsidiary owns or possesses property of a type that would be considered Collateral hereunder. Upon execution and delivery by the Collateral Agent and such Subsidiary of an instrument in the form of Annex 1, such Subsidiary shall become a Subsidiary Pledgor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Subsidiary Pledgor herein. The execution and delivery of such instrument shall not require the consent of any Pledgor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Pledgor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Subsidiary Pledgor as a party to this Agreement. In addition to the foregoing, the Company shall cause each Person that owns the Equity Interests of a Subsidiary of the Company that is a Loan Party that was not in existence or not a Subsidiary on the date of the Credit Agreement promptly upon acquiring such Equity Interests to enter in this Agreement as a Subsidiary Pledgor (to the extent not already a party hereto). Each Pledgor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to supplement this Agreement by supplementing the Schedules hereto or adding additional schedules hereto to specifically identify any Pledgor or Equity Interest that becomes subject to this Agreement.

A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement for filing in any jurisdiction. Each Pledgor also authorizes the Collateral Agent to take any and all actions required by any Applicable Law, including the Bankruptcy Code or any Order of the Bankruptcy Court entered in connection with the Cases, to perfect and protect the security interest granted hereunder. Each Pledgor shall provide the Collateral Agent with

19

any information the Collateral Agent shall reasonably request in connection with any of the foregoing.

25.           Inconsistency.  In the event of any inconsistency or conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the Interim Order (and, when applicable, the Final Order), the provisions of Interim Order (and, when applicable, the Final Order) shall govern.

SUPPLEMENT NO.    , dated as of           , 20     to the PLEDGE AGREEMENT (the “Pledge Agreement”), dated as of December 14, 2010, among THE GREAT ATLANTIC & PACIFIC TEA COMPANY, INC., a Maryland corporation, a debtor and debtor-in-possession in a case pending under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (as defined in the Credit Agreement, defined herein) (the “Company”), each subsidiary of the Company listed on Schedule I hereto (each such subsidiary a debtor and debtor-in-possession, individually a “Pledgor” and collectively with the Company, the “Pledgors”) and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., a national banking association (“JPMorgan Chase Bank”), as collateral agent (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”) for the Secured Parties (as defined in the Security Agreement defined below).

a.             Reference is made to (a) the Superpriority Debtor-in Possession Credit Agreement dated as of December 14, 2010 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Company as a Borrower, the other Borrowers party thereto, the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”), and JPMorgan Chase Bank, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, (b) the Guaranty, dated as of December 14, 2010 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Guaranty”), made by the Guarantors named therein (the “Guarantors”) in favor of the Collateral Agent for its own benefit and the benefit of the other Secured Parties, and (c) the Security Agreement, dated as of December 14, 2010 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Security Agreement”), among the Grantors named therein and the Collateral Agent.

b.             Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

c.             The Pledgors have entered into the Pledge Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to make Loans and the Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit. Pursuant to Section 5.12 of the Credit Agreement, each Subsidiary of the Company that was not in existence or not a Subsidiary on the date of the Credit Agreement is required to become a Loan Party and to enter into the Pledge Agreement as a Subsidiary Pledgor upon becoming a Subsidiary if such Subsidiary owns or possesses property of a type that would be considered Collateral under the Pledge Agreement. Section 23 of the Pledge Agreement provides that such Subsidiaries may become Subsidiary Pledgors under the Pledge Agreement by execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement. The undersigned Subsidiary (the “New Pledgor”) is executing this Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement to become a Subsidiary Pledgor under the Pledge Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to make additional Loans and the Issuing Bank to issue additional Letters

A-1

of Credit and as consideration for Loans previously made and Letters of Credit previously issued.

Accordingly, the Collateral Agent and the New Pledgor agree as follows:

SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 23 of the Pledge Agreement, the New Pledgor by its signature below becomes a Pledgor under the Pledge Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Pledgor and the New Pledgor hereby agrees (a) to all the terms and provisions of the Pledge Agreement applicable to it as a Pledgor thereunder and (b) represents and warrants that the representations and warranties made by it as a Pledgor thereunder are true and correct on and as of the date hereof. In furtherance of the foregoing, the New Pledgor, as security for the payment and performance in full of the Obligations (as defined in the Pledge Agreement), does hereby create and grant to the Collateral Agent, its successors and assigns, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, their successors and assigns, a security interest in and lien on all of the New Pledgor’s right, title and interest in and to the Collateral (as defined in the Pledge Agreement) of the New Pledgor. Each reference to a “Subsidiary Pledgor” or a “Pledgor” in the Pledge Agreement shall be deemed to include the New Pledgor. The Pledge Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

SECTION 2. The New Pledgor represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, the enforceability of which is subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

SECTION 3. This Supplement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Supplement shall become effective when the Collateral Agent shall have received counterparts of this Supplement that, when taken together, bear the signatures of the New Pledgor and the Collateral Agent. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Supplement by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Supplement.

SECTION 4. The New Pledgor hereby represents and warrants that set forth on Schedule I attached hereto is a true and correct schedule of all its Pledged Securities.

SECTION 5. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Pledge Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
