(a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make, at any time and from time to time on or after the Effective Date and prior to the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, a revolving loan or revolving loans (each, a “Revolving Loan” and, collectively, the “Revolving Loans”) to the Borrowers (on a joint and several basis), which Revolving Loans (i) shall be denominated in Dollars, (ii) shall, at the option of the respective Borrower, be incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into, Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans; provided, that, except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 2.10(b), all Revolving Loans comprising the same Borrowing shall at all times be of the same Type, (iii) may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof, (iv) shall not be made (and shall not be required to be made) by any Lender in any instance where the incurrence thereof (after giving effect to the use of the proceeds thereof on the date of the incurrence thereof to repay any amounts theretofore outstanding pursuant to this Agreement) would cause the Individual Exposure of such Lender to exceed the amount of its Revolving Loan Commitment at such time and (v) shall not be made (and shall not be required to be made) by any Lender in any instance where the incurrence thereof (after giving effect to the use of the proceeds thereof on the date of the incurrence thereof to repay any amounts theretofore outstanding pursuant to this Agreement) would cause (A) the Aggregate Exposure to exceed the Total Revolving Loan Commitment as then in effect or (B) the Aggregate Exposure to exceed the Borrowing Base at such time.

(b) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make, at any time and from time to time on or after the Effective Date and prior to the Swingline Expiry Date, a revolving loan or revolving loans (each, a “Swingline Loan” and, collectively, the “Swingline Loans”) to the Borrowers (on a joint and several basis), which Swingline Loans (i) shall be denominated in Dollars, (ii) shall be incurred and maintained as Base Rate Loans; (iii) may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof, (iv) shall not be made (and shall not be required to be made) by the Swingline Lender in any instance where the incurrence thereof (after giving effect to the use of the proceeds thereof on the date of the incurrence thereof to repay any amounts theretofore outstanding pursuant to this Agreement) would cause (A) the Aggregate Exposure to exceed the Total Revolving Loan Commitment as then in effect or (B) the Aggregate Exposure to exceed the Borrowing Base at such time, and (v) shall not exceed in aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding the Maximum Swingline Amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.01(b), (1) the Swingline Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swingline Loans at a time when a Lender Default exists unless the Swingline Lender has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and the Company to eliminate the Swingline Lender’s risk with respect to the Defaulting Lender’s or Defaulting Lenders’ participation in such Swingline Loans (which arrangements are hereby consented to by the Lenders), including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s or Defaulting Lenders’ RL Percentage of the outstanding Swingline Loans (such arrangements, the “Swingline Back-Stop Arrangements”) and (2) the Swingline Lender shall not make any Swingline Loan after it has received written notice from any Borrower, any other Credit Party or the Required Lenders stating that a Default or an Event of Default exists and is continuing until such time as the Swingline Lender shall have received written notice (x) of rescission of all such notices from the party or parties originally delivering such notice or notices or (y) of the waiver of such Default or Event of Default by the Required Lenders.

(c) On any Business Day, the Swingline Lender may, in its sole discretion give notice to the Lenders that the Swingline Lender’s outstanding Swingline Loans shall be funded with one or more Borrowings of Revolving Loans (provided, that, such notice shall be deemed to have been automatically given upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under Section 11.05 or upon the exercise of any of the remedies provided in the last paragraph of Section 11), in which case one or more Borrowings of Revolving Loans constituting Base Rate Loans (each such Borrowing, a “Mandatory Borrowing”) shall be made on the immediately succeeding Business Day by all Lenders pro rata based on each such Lender’s RL Percentage (determined before giving effect to any termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 11) and the proceeds thereof shall be applied directly by the Swingline Lender to repay the Swingline Lender for such outstanding Swingline Loans. Each Lender hereby irrevocably agrees to make Revolving Loans upon one Business Day’s notice pursuant to each Mandatory Borrowing in the amount and in the manner specified in the preceding sentence and on the date specified in writing by the Swingline Lender notwithstanding (i) the amount of the Mandatory Borrowing may not comply with the Minimum Borrowing Amount otherwise required hereunder, (ii) whether any conditions specified in Section 7 are then satisfied, (iii) whether a Default or an Event of Default then exists, (iv) the date of such Mandatory Borrowing, and (v) the amount of the Borrowing Base or the Total Revolving Loan Commitment at such time. In the event that any Mandatory Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to any Borrower), then each Lender hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase (as of the date the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred, but adjusted for any payments received from any Borrower on or after such date and prior to such purchase) from the Swingline Lender such participations in the outstanding Swingline Loans as shall be necessary to cause the Lenders to share in such Swingline Loans ratably based upon their respective RL Percentages (determined before giving effect to any termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 11); provided, that, (A) all interest

payable on the Swingline Loans shall be for the account of the Swingline Lender until the date as of which the respective participation is required to be purchased and, to the extent attributable to the purchased participation, shall be payable to the participant from and after such date and (B) at the time any purchase of participations pursuant to this sentence is actually made, the purchasing Lender shall be required to pay the Swingline Lender interest on the principal amount of participation purchased for each day from and including the day upon which the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred to but excluding the date of payment for such participation, at the overnight Federal Funds Rate for the first three days and at the interest rate otherwise applicable to Revolving Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans hereunder for each day thereafter.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.01(a) or elsewhere in this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to establish Reserves, subject to the proviso in the definition thereof, in such amounts, and with respect to such matters, as the Collateral Agent in its Permitted Discretion shall deem necessary or appropriate, against the Borrowing Base (which reserves shall reduce the then existing Borrowing Base in an amount equal to such reserves).

(e) (i) In the event that the Borrowers are unable to comply with the Borrowing Base limitations set forth in Section 2.01(a) or (ii) the Borrowers are unable to comply with the conditions precedent to the making of Revolving Loans set forth in Section 7, in either case, the Lenders, subject to the immediately succeeding proviso, hereby authorize the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, to make Revolving Loans to the Borrowers (on a joint and several basis), in either case solely in the event that the Collateral Agent in its Permitted Discretion deems necessary or desirable (A) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (B) to enhance the likelihood of repayment of the Obligations, or (C) to pay any other amount chargeable to the Borrowers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including Expenses and Fees, which Revolving Loans may only be made as Base Rate Loans (each, an “Agent Advance”) for a period commencing on the date the Administrative Agent first receives a Notice of Borrowing requesting an Agent Advance until the earliest of (1) the twentieth (20th) Business Day after such date, (2) the date the respective Borrowers are again able to comply with the Borrowing Base limitations and the conditions precedent to the making of Revolving Loans, or obtain an amendment or waiver with respect thereto, and (3) the date the Required Lenders instruct the Administrative Agent to cease making Agent Advances (in each case, the “Agent Advance Period”); provided, that, the Administrative Agent shall not make any Agent Advance to the extent that at the time of the making of such Agent Advance, the amount of such Agent Advance (x) when added to the aggregate outstanding amount of all other Agent Advances made to the Borrowers at such time, would exceed 5.0% of the Borrowing Base at such time (the “Agent Advance Amount”) or (y) when added to the Aggregate Exposure as then in effect (immediately prior to the incurrence of such Agent Advance), would exceed the Total Revolving Loan Commitment at such time. Agent Advances may be made by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion and the Borrowers shall have no right whatsoever to require that any Agent Advances be made. Agent Advances will be subject to periodic settlement with the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.04(b).

(f) If the Initial Revolving Commitment Termination Date shall have occurred at a time when Extended Revolving Loan Commitments are in effect, then on the Initial Revolving Commitment Termination Date all then outstanding Swingline Loans shall be repaid in full on such date (and there shall be no adjustment to the participations in such Swingline Loans as a result of the occurrence of such Initial Revolving Commitment Termination Date); provided, that, if on the occurrence of the Initial Revolving Commitment Termination Date (after giving effect to any repayments of Revolving Loans and any reallocation of Letter of Credit participations as contemplated in Section 3.07), there shall exist sufficient unutilized Extended Revolving Loan Commitments so that the respective outstanding Swingline Loans could be incurred pursuant the Extended Revolving Loan Commitments which will remain in effect after the occurrence of the Initial Revolving Commitment Termination Date, then there shall be an automatic adjustment on such date of the participations in such Swingline Loans and same shall be deemed to have been incurred solely pursuant to the Extended Revolving Loan Commitments and such Swingline Loans shall not be so required to be repaid in full on the Initial Revolving Commitment Termination Date.

2.02 Minimum Amount of Each Borrowing. The aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing of Loans of a specific Type shall not be less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto. More than one Borrowing may occur on the same date, but at no time shall there be outstanding more than ten Borrowings of LIBOR Loans (or such greater number of Borrowings of LIBOR Loans as may be agreed to from time to time by the Administrative Agent).

2.03 Notice of Borrowing.

(a) Whenever a Borrower desires to incur (x) LIBOR Loans hereunder, such Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office notice thereof, which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) at least three Business Days’ prior to the date that such LIBOR Loan is to be incurred hereunder (otherwise such notice shall be deemed to have been given on the immediately succeeding Business Day) and (y) Base Rate Loans hereunder (including Agent Advances, but excluding Swingline Loans and Revolving Loans made pursuant to a Mandatory Borrowing), such Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office notice thereof, which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the Business Day that such Base Rate Loan is to be incurred hereunder (otherwise such notice shall be deemed to have been given on the immediately succeeding Business Day). Each such notice (each, a “Notice of Borrowing”), except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.10, shall be irrevocable and shall be in writing, or by telephone promptly confirmed in writing, in the form of Exhibit A-1, appropriately completed to specify: (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans to be incurred pursuant to such Borrowing, (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) whether the Revolving Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing constitute Agent Advances (it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to make such Agent Advances) and(iv) whether the Revolving Loans being incurred pursuant to such Borrowing are to be initially maintained as Base Rate Loans or, to the extent permitted hereunder, LIBOR Loans and, if LIBOR Loans, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto. Except as provided in Section 2.04(b), the Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Lender notice of such proposed Borrowing, of such Lender’s proportionate share thereof and of the other matters required by the immediately preceding sentence to be specified in the Notice of Borrowing.

(b) (i) Whenever a Borrower desires to incur Swingline Loans hereunder, such Borrower shall give the Swingline Lender no later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date that a Swingline Loan is to be incurred, written notice or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing of each Swingline Loan to be incurred hereunder. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and specify in each case (A) the date of Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day) and (B) the aggregate principal amount of the Swingline Loans to be incurred pursuant to such Borrowing.

(ii) Mandatory Borrowings shall be made upon the notice specified in Section 2.01(c), with the respective Borrower irrevocably agreeing, by its incurrence of any Swingline Loan, to the making of the Mandatory Borrowings as set forth in Section 2.01(c).

(c) Without in any way limiting the obligation of any Borrower to confirm in writing any telephonic notice of any Borrowing or prepayment of Loans, the Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, may act without liability upon the basis of telephonic notice of such Borrowing or prepayment, as the case may be, believed by the Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer of such Borrower, prior to receipt of written confirmation. In each such case, such Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute the Administrative Agent’s or the Swingline Lender’s record of the terms of such telephonic notice of such Borrowing or prepayment of Loans, as the case may be, absent manifest error.

2.04 Disbursement of Funds.

(a) No later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing (or (i) in the case of Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans that are to be made on same day notice, no later than 3:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date specified pursuant to Section 2.03(a), (ii)in the case of Swingline Loans, no later than 4:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date specified in Section 2.03(b) or (iii) in the case of Mandatory Borrowings, no later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date specified in Section 2.01(c)), each Lender will make available its pro rata portion (determined in accordance with Section 2.07) of each such Borrowing requested to be made on such date (or in the case of Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender will make available the full amount thereof). All such amounts will be made available in Dollars and in immediately available funds at the Payment Office, and the Administrative Agent will make available to the relevant Borrower at the Payment Office, or to such other account at the relevant Borrower may specify in writing prior to the Initial Borrowing Date, the aggregate of the amounts so made available by the Lenders; provided, that, if, on the date of a Borrowing of Revolving Loans (other than a Mandatory Borrowing), there are Unpaid Drawings or Swingline Loans then outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing shall be applied, first, to the payment in full of any such Unpaid Drawings with respect to Letters of Credit, second, to the payment in full of any such Swingline Loans, and third, to the relevant Borrower as otherwise provided above. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the relevant Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the relevant Borrower, and the relevant Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent also shall be entitled to recover on demand from such Lender or the relevant Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the relevant Borrower until the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (1) if recovered from such Lender, the overnight Federal Funds Rate for the first three days and at the interest rate otherwise applicable to such Loans for each day thereafter and (2) if recovered from the relevant Borrower or Borrowers, the rate of interest applicable to the respective Borrowing, as determined pursuant to Section 2.08. Nothing in this Section 2.04 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to make Loans hereunder or to prejudice any rights which any Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any failure by such Lender to make Loans hereunder.

(b) Unless the Required Lenders have instructed the Administrative Agent to the contrary, the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders may, but shall not be obligated to, make Revolving Loans to the Borrower that are maintained as Base Rate Loans under Section 2.01(a) without prior notice of the proposed Borrowing to the Lenders as follows:

(i) The amount of each Lender’s RL Percentage of Revolving Loans shall be computed weekly (or more frequently in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion) and shall be adjusted upward or downward on the basis of the amount of outstanding Revolving Loans as of 5:00 P.M. (New York time) on the last Business Day of each week, or such other period specified by the Administrative Agent (each

such date, a “Settlement Date”). The Lenders shall transfer to the Administrative Agent, or the Administrative Agent shall transfer to the Lenders, such amounts as are necessary so that (after giving effect to all such transfers) the amount of Revolving Loans made by each Lender shall be equal to such Lender’s RL Percentage of the aggregate amount of Revolving Loans outstanding as of such Settlement Date. If a notice from the Administrative Agent of any such necessary transfer is received by a Lender on or prior to 12:00 Noon (New York time) on any Business Day, then such Lender shall make transfers described above in immediately available funds no later than 3:00 P.M. (New York time) on the day such notice was received; and if such notice is received by a Lender after 12:00 Noon (New York time) on any Business Day, such Lender shall make such transfers no later than 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on the next succeeding Business Day. The obligation of each of the Lenders to transfer such funds shall be irrevocable and unconditional and without recourse to, or without representation or warranty by, the Administrative Agent. Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees and the Lenders agree to xxxx their respective books and records on each Settlement Date to show at all times the dollar amount of their respective RL Percentage of the outstanding Revolving Loans on such date.

(ii) To the extent that the settlement described in preceding clause (i) shall not yet have occurred with respect to any particular Settlement Date, upon any repayment of Revolving Loans by any Borrower prior to such settlement, the Administrative Agent may apply such amounts repaid directly to the amounts that would otherwise be made available by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.04(b).

(iii) Because the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders may be advancing and/or may be repaid Revolving Loans prior to the time when the Lenders will actually advance and/or be repaid Revolving Loans, interest with respect to Revolving Loans shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent to each Lender and the Administrative Agent in accordance with the amount of Revolving Loans actually advanced by and repaid to each Lender and the Administrative Agent and shall accrue from and including the date such Revolving Loans are so advanced to but excluding the date such Revolving Loans are either repaid by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or actually settled by the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender as described in this Section 2.04(b).

2.05 Notes.

(a) Each Borrower’s joint and several obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.15 and shall, if requested by such Lender, also be evidenced (i) in the case of Revolving Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by each Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, a “Revolving Note” and, collectively, the “Revolving Notes”), and (ii) in the case of Swingline Loans, by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by each Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B-2, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (the “Swingline Note”).

(b) Each Lender will note on its internal records the amount of each Loan made by it and each payment in respect thereof and prior to any transfer of any of its Notes will endorse on the reverse side thereof the outstanding principal amount of Loans evidenced thereby. Failure to make any such notation or any error in such notation shall not affect any Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 2.05 or elsewhere in this Agreement, Notes shall only be delivered to Lenders which at any time specifically request the delivery of such Notes. No failure of any Lender to request, obtain, maintain or produce a Note evidencing its Loans to any Borrower shall affect, or in any manner impair, the obligations of any Borrower to pay the Loans (and all related Obligations) incurred by such Borrower which would otherwise be

evidenced thereby in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, and shall not in any way affect the security or guaranties therefor provided pursuant to any Credit Document. Any Lender which does not have a Note evidencing its outstanding Loans shall in no event be required to make the notations otherwise described in preceding clause (b). At any time when any Lender requests the delivery of a Note to evidence any of its Loans, the respective Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to the respective Lender the requested Note in the appropriate amount or amounts to evidence such Loans.

2.06 Conversions. Each Borrower shall have the option to convert, on any Business Day, all or a portion equal to at least the Minimum Borrowing Amount of the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans made pursuant to one or more Borrowings of one or more Types of Revolving Loans into a Borrowing of another Type of Revolving Loan; provided, that, (a) except as otherwise provided in Section 2.10(b), LIBOR Loans may be converted into Base Rate Loans only on the last day of an Interest Period applicable to the Revolving Loans being converted and no such partial conversion of LIBOR Loans shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of such LIBOR Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing to less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, (b) unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, Base Rate Loans may only be converted into LIBOR Loans if no Event of Default is in existence on the date of the conversion, and (c) no conversion pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall result in a greater number of Borrowings of LIBOR Loans than is permitted under Section 2.02. Each such conversion shall be effected by the respective Borrower by giving the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office notice thereof, which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) at least (i) in the case of conversions of Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans, three Business Days’ prior notice and (ii) in the case of conversions of LIBOR Loans into Base Rate Loans, one Business Day’s prior notice (each, a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”), in each case in the form of Exhibit A-2, appropriately completed to specify the Revolving Loans to be so converted, the Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such Revolving Loans were incurred and, if to be converted into LIBOR Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice of any such proposed conversion affecting any of its Revolving Loans.

2.07 Pro Rata Borrowings. All Borrowings of Revolving Loans under this Agreement shall be incurred from the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their Revolving Loan Commitments; provided, that, all Mandatory Borrowings shall be incurred from the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their RL Percentages. It is understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender of its obligation to make Loans hereunder and that each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to make its Loans hereunder.

2.08 Interest.

(a) Each Borrower jointly and severally agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Base Rate Loan from the date of Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (i) the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (ii) the conversion of such Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan pursuant to Section 2.06 or 2.09, as applicable, at a rate per annum which shall be equal to the sum of the relevant Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate, each as in effect from time to time.

(b) Each Borrower jointly and severally agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each LIBOR Loan from the date of Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (i) the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (ii) the conversion of such LIBOR Loan to a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.06, 2.09 or 2.10, as applicable, at a rate per annum which shall, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, be equal to the sum of the relevant Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time during such Interest Period plus the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period.

(c) (i) Overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest in respect of each Loan shall, in each case, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate which is 2% in excess of the rate then borne by such Loans, and (ii) all other overdue amounts payable hereunder and under any other Credit Document shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate which is 2% in excess of the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans from time to time. Interest that accrues under this Section 2.08(c) shall be payable on demand.

(d) Accrued (and theretofore unpaid) interest shall be payable (i) in respect of each Base Rate Loan, (A) quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, (B) on the date of any repayment or prepayment in full of all outstanding Base Rate Loans, and (C) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand, and (ii) in respect of each LIBOR Loan, (A) on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of an Interest Period in excess of three months, on each date occurring at three month intervals after the first day of such Interest Period, and (B) on the date of any repayment or prepayment (on the amount repaid or prepaid), at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand.

(e) Upon each Interest Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine the LIBO Rate for each Interest Period applicable to the respective LIBOR Loans and shall promptly notify the Company and the Lenders thereof. Each such determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

2.09 Interest Periods. At the time any Borrower gives any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation in respect of the making of, or conversion into, any LIBOR Loan (in the case of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto) or prior to 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of an Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Loan (in the case of any subsequent Interest Period), such Borrower shall have the right to elect the interest period (each, an “Interest Period”) applicable to such LIBOR Loan, which Interest Period shall, at the option of the Borrower, be a one, two, three or six month period; provided, that, (in each case): (a) all LIBOR Loans comprising a Borrowing shall at all times have the same Interest Period; (b) the initial Interest Period for any LIBOR Loan shall commence on the date of Borrowing of such LIBOR Loan (including the date of any conversion thereto from a Base Rate Loan) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such LIBOR Loan shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period applicable thereto expires; (c) if any Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of such calendar month; (d) if any Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided, however, that if any Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day; (e) unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, no Interest Period may be selected at any time when an Event of Default is then in existence; and (f) no Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing shall be selected which extends beyond the Revolving Commitment Termination Date. If by 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, any Borrower has failed to elect, or is not permitted to elect, a new Interest Period to be applicable to such LIBOR Loans as provided above, such Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such LIBOR Loans into Base Rate Loans effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period.

2.10 Increased Costs, Illegality, etc.

(a) In the event that any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but, with respect to clause (i) below, may be made only by the Administrative Agent) and shall have certified to the Company in writing that it has made such determination with respect to similarly-situated borrowers:

(i) on any Interest Determination Date that, by reason of any changes arising after the date of this Agreement affecting the London interbank market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of LIBO Rate; or

(ii) at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any LIBOR Loan because of (A) any change since the Effective Date in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request (whether or not having the force of law) or in the interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request, such as, but not limited to: (1) a change in the basis of taxation of payment to any Lender of the principal of or interest on the Loans or the Notes or any other amounts payable hereunder (but excluding, for these purposes, any Taxes payable or subject to indemnification or reimbursement under Section 5.04 and the imposition of or change in the rate of Excluded Taxes) or (2) a change in official reserve requirements, but, in all events, excluding reserves required under Regulation D to the extent included in the computation of the LIBO Rate and/or (B) other circumstances arising since the Effective Date affecting such Lender, the London interbank market or the position of such Lender in such market (including that the LIBO Rate with respect to such LIBOR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of funding such LIBOR Loan); or

(iii) at any time, that the making or continuance of any LIBOR Loan has been made (A) unlawful by any law or governmental rule, regulation or order, (B) impossible by compliance by any Lender in good faith with any governmental request (whether or not having force of law) or (C) impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the Effective Date which materially and adversely affects the London interbank market;

then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i) above) shall promptly give notice (by telephone promptly confirmed in writing) to the Company and, except in the case of clause (i) above, to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders). Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i) above, LIBOR Loans shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Company and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by any Borrower with respect to LIBOR Loans which have not yet been incurred (including by way of conversion) shall be deemed rescinded by such Borrower, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to such Lender, upon such Lender’s written request therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable hereunder (a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to the Company by such Lender shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto) and (z) in the case of clause (iii) above, the respective Borrower or Borrowers shall take one of the actions specified in Section 2.10(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law.

(b) At any time that any LIBOR Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(ii), the affected Borrower may, and in the case of a LIBOR Loan affected by the

circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(iii), the affected Borrower shall, either (i) if the affected LIBOR Loan is then being made initially or pursuant to a conversion, cancel such Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed in writing) on the same date that such Borrower was notified by the affected Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii) or (ii) if the affected LIBOR Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent, require the affected Lender to convert such LIBOR Loan into a Base Rate Loan; provided, that, if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated the same pursuant to this Section 2.10(b).

(c) If any Lender determines that after the Effective Date the introduction of or any change in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline, directive or request (whether or not having the force of law) concerning liquidity, capital adequacy, or any change in interpretation or administration thereof by the NAIC or any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, will have the effect of increasing the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender based on the existence of such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment hereunder or its obligations hereunder, then the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to such Lender, upon its written demand therefor, such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Lender or such other corporation for the increased cost to such Lender or such other corporation or the reduction in the rate of return to such Lender or such other corporation as a result of such increase of capital or liquidity. In determining such additional amounts, each Lender will act reasonably and in good faith and will use averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable; provided, that, such Lender’s determination of compensation owing under this Section 2.10(c) shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto. Each Lender, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.10(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Company, which notice shall show in reasonable detail the basis for calculation of such additional amounts.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (A) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (B) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to The Basel III Accord published by The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in law or regulation after the date hereof (including this Section 2.10 and Section 3.06).

2.11 Compensation. Each Borrower jointly and severally agrees to compensate each Lender, upon its written request (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation and a certification to the Company that such request would be made with respect to similarly-situated borrowers), for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund its LIBOR Loans but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain: (a) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or the Administrative Agent) a Borrowing of, or conversion from or into, LIBOR Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation (whether or not withdrawn by the respective Borrower or Borrowers or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 2.10(a)); (b) if any prepayment or repayment (including any prepayment or repayment made pursuant to Section 5.01, Section 5.02 or as a result of an acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 11) or conversion of any of its LIBOR Loans occurs on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto; (c) if any prepayment of any of its LIBOR Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by any Borrower; or (d) as a consequence of (i) any other default by any Borrower to repay LIBOR Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or any Note held by such Lender or (ii) any election made pursuant to Section 2.10(b).

2.12 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender agrees that on the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 2.10(c), Section 3.06 or Section 5.04 with respect to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, it will, if requested by the Company, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender or such Issuing Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans or Letters of Credit affected by such event; provided, that, such designation is made on such terms that such Lender or such Issuing Lender and its lending office suffer no legal, regulatory or unreimbursed economic disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of such Section.

2.13 Replacement of Lenders.

(a) If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, (i) if any Lender or Issuing Lender requests payment of additional amounts under Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 2.10(c), Section 3.06 or Section 5.04 or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender, any Issuing Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or any Issuing Lender pursuant to such Sections, (ii) in the case of a refusal by a Lender to consent to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination with respect to this Agreement which has been approved by the Required Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 13.12(b) or (iii) in the case of rejection (or deemed rejection) by a Lender of the Extension under Section 2.16(a) which Extension has been accepted under Section 2.16(a) by the Required Lenders, the Company shall have the right, in accordance with Section 13.04(b), if no Default or Event of Default would exist after giving effect to such replacement, to replace such Lender or Issuing Lender (the “Replaced Lender”) with one or more other Eligible Transferees, none of whom shall constitute a Defaulting Lender at the time of such replacement (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”) and each of which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Lender; provided, that:

(i) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 2.13, the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment and Assumption Agreements pursuant to Section 13.04(b) (and with all fees payable pursuant to said Section 13.04(b) to be paid by the Borrowers) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire the entire Revolving Loan Commitment and all outstanding Revolving Loans of, and all participations in Letters of Credit by, the Replaced Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay to (A) the Replaced Lender in respect thereof an amount equal to the sum of (1) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Revolving Loans of the respective Replaced Lender, (2) an amount equal to all Unpaid Drawings that have been funded by (and not reimbursed to) such Replaced Lender, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time and (3) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, Fees owing to the Replaced Lender pursuant to Section 4.01, (B) each Issuing Lender an amount equal to such Replaced Lender’s RL Percentage of any Unpaid Drawing relating to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender (which at such time remains an Unpaid Drawing) to the extent such amount was not theretofore funded by such Replaced Lender and (C) the Swingline Lender an amount equal to such Replaced Lender’s RL Percentage of any Mandatory Borrowing to the extent such amount was not theretofore funded by such Replaced Lender to the Swingline Lender; and (D) all obligations of the Borrowers then owing to the Replaced Lender (other than those specifically described in clause (A) above in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid, but including all amounts, if any, owing under Section 2.11) shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement.

(b) Upon receipt by the Replaced Lender of all amounts required to be paid to it pursuant to this Section 2.13, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled (but not obligated) and is authorized (which authorization is coupled with an interest) to execute an Assignment and Assumption Agreement on behalf of such Replaced Lender, and any such Assignment and Assumption Agreement so executed by the Administrative Agent and the Replacement Lender shall be effective for purposes of this Section 2.13 and Section 13.04. Upon the execution of the respective Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (A) and (B) above, recordation of the assignment on the Register by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.15 and, if so requested by the Replacement Lender, delivery to the Replacement Lender of the appropriate Note or Notes executed by the relevant Borrowers, (i) the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.06, 5.04, 12.06, 13.01 and 13.06), which shall survive as to such Replaced Lender and (ii) the RL Percentages of the Lenders shall be automatically adjusted at such time to give effect to such replacement.

2.14 Company as Agent for Borrowers. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Company as its agent and attorney-in-fact for all purposes under this Agreement and each other Credit Document, which appointment shall remain in full force and effect unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received prior written notice signed by the respective appointing Borrower that such appointment has been revoked. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Company (a) to provide the Administrative Agent with all notices with respect to Loans and Letters of Credit obtained for the benefit of any Borrower and all other notices and instructions under this Agreement or any other Credit Document and (b) to take such action as the Company deems appropriate on its behalf to obtain Loans and Letters of Credit and to exercise such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. It is understood that the handling of the Credit Account and the Collateral of the Borrowers in a combined fashion, as more fully set forth herein, is done solely as an accommodation to the Borrowers in order to utilize the collective borrowing powers of the Borrowers in the most efficient and economical manner and at their request, and that the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and each Lender shall not incur liability to any Borrower as a result hereof. Each Borrower expects to derive benefit, directly or indirectly, from the handling of the Credit Account and the Collateral in a combined fashion since the successful operation of each Borrower is dependent on the continued successful performance of the consolidated group. To induce the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and each Lender to do so, and in consideration thereof, each Borrower hereby jointly and severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and each Lender against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses, or disbursements of whatsoever kind or nature made against the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender by any Borrower or by any third party whosoever, arising from or incurred by reason of (i) the handling of the Credit Account and Collateral of the Borrowers as herein provided, (ii) the Administrative Agent’s, the Issuing Lenders’ or the Lenders’ relying on any instructions of the Company, or (iii) any other action taken by the Lenders hereunder or under the other Credit Documents; provided, that, no Borrower shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses, or disbursements resulting from (A) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender, such Lender or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision), and (B) any disputes solely among the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender and/or any Lender (other than (1) any disputes relating to any act or omission of any Credit Party or its Affiliates and (2) any claim against the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Issuing Lender in its capacity or in fulfilling such roles under or pursuant to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents).

(b) At the time of the provision of Incremental Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.15, (i) the Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent and each such Lender or other Eligible Transferee which agrees to provide an Incremental Commitment (each, an “Incremental Lender”) shall execute and deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent an Incremental Commitment Agreement, appropriately completed (with the effectiveness of the Incremental Commitment provided therein to occur on the date set forth in such Incremental Commitment Agreement, which date in any event shall be no earlier than the date

on which (A)all fees required to be paid in connection therewith at the time of such effectiveness shall have been paid, (B) all Incremental Commitment Requirements have been satisfied, (C)all conditions set forth in this Section 2.15 shall have been satisfied and ((D) all other conditions precedent that may be set forth in such Incremental Commitment Agreement shall have been satisfied) and (ii) the Credit Parties and the Collateral Agent and each Incremental Lender (as applicable) shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent such additional Security Documents and/or amendments to the Security Documents which are necessary to ensure that all Loans incurred pursuant to the Incremental Commitments and any Additional Margin are secured by each relevant Security Document (the “Incremental Security Documents”). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental Commitment Agreement and, at such time, Schedule 1.01(a) shall be deemed modified to reflect the Incremental Commitments of such Incremental Lenders.

(c) It is understood and agreed that the Incremental Commitments provided by an Incremental Lender or Incremental Lenders, as the case may be, pursuant to each Incremental Commitment Agreement shall constitute part of, and be added to, the Total Revolving Loan Commitment and each Incremental Lender shall constitute a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement and each other applicable Credit Document.

(e) At the time of any provision of Incremental Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.15, all dollar thresholds included in any determination made with respect to Excess Availability shall be increased automatically in an amount equal to the percentage by which the Incremental Commitments increase the Total Revolving Loan Commitments.

2.16 Extensions of Loans and Commitments.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, subject to the terms of this Section 2.16, the Borrowers may extend the maturity date, and otherwise modify the terms of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment, or any portion thereof (including by increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of any Loans and/or Revolving Loan Commitments or any portion thereof (and related outstandings) (the “Extension”) pursuant to a written offer (the “Extension Offer”) made by the Company to all Lenders, in each case on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the respective outstanding Revolving Loans and unfunded Revolving Loan Commitments) and on the same terms to each such Lender.

In connection with the Extension, each Lender, acting in its sole and individual discretion, wishing to participate in the Extension shall, prior to the date (the “Notice Date”) that is 30 days after delivery of notice by the Administrative Agent to such Lender, provide the Administrative Agent with a written notice thereof in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Any Lender that does not respond to the Extension Offer by the Notice Date shall be deemed to have rejected such Extension. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Company of each Lender’s determination under this Section 2.16(a).

(d) With respect to the Extension consummated by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.16, (i) the Extension shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for

purposes of Sections 5.01, 5.02, 5.03, 13.02 or 13.06, (ii) the Extension Offer shall contain a condition (a “Minimum Extension Condition”) to consummating the Extension that at least 35% of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Loan Commitments in effect immediately prior to the Initial Revolving Commitment Termination Date (unless another amount is agreed to by the Administrative Agent) shall be in effect immediately following the Initial Revolving Commitment Termination Date, (iii) if the amount extended is less than the Maximum Letter of Credit Amount, the Maximum Letter of Credit Amount shall be reduced upon the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Initial Revolving Commitment Termination Date (to the extent needed so that the Maximum Letter of Credit Amount does not exceed the aggregate Revolving Loan Commitments which would be in effect after the Initial Revolving Commitment Termination Date), and, if applicable, the Borrowers shall cash collateralize obligations under any issued Letters of Credit in an amount equal to 105% of the Stated Amount of such Letters of Credit, and (iv) if the amount extended is less than the Maximum Swingline Amount, the Maximum Swingline Amount shall be reduced upon the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Initial Revolving Commitment Termination Date (to the extent needed so that the Maximum Swingline Amount does not exceed the aggregate Revolving Loan Commitments which would be in effect after the Initial Revolving Commitment Termination Date), and, if applicable, the Borrowers shall prepay any outstanding Swingline Loans. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the Extension and the other transactions contemplated by this Section 2.16 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest or fees in respect of any Extended Revolving Loan Commitments on such terms as may be set forth in the Extension Offer) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including Sections 5.01, 5.02, 5.03, 13.02 or 13.06) or any other Credit Document that may otherwise prohibit the Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.16; provided, that, such consent shall not be deemed to be an acceptance of the Extension Offer.

(e) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents with the Credit Parties as may be necessary in order establish new tranches in respect of Revolving Loan Commitments so extended and such technical amendments as may be necessary in connection with the establishment of such new tranches, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.16.

(f) In connection with the Extension, the Company shall provide the Administrative Agent at least ten (10) Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be reasonably established by, or reasonably acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.16.

(b) The making of each Letter of Credit Request shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the respective Borrower to the Lenders that such Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance with, and will not violate the requirements of, Section 3.02. Unless the respective Issuing Lender has received notice from any Borrower, any other Credit Party or the Required Lenders before it issues a Letter of Credit that one or more of the conditions specified in Section 6 or 7 are not then satisfied, or that the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate Section 3.02, then such Issuing Lender shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, issue the requested Letter of Credit for the account of the respective Borrower in accordance with such Issuing Lender’s usual and customary practices. Upon the issuance of or modification or amendment to any standby Letter of Credit, each Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the respective Borrower and the Administrative Agent, in writing of such issuance, modification or amendment and such notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such Letter of Credit or the respective modification or amendment thereto, as the case may be.

Promptly after receipt of such notice the Administrative Agent shall notify the Participants, in writing, of such issuance, modification or amendment. On the first Business Day of each week, each Issuing Lender shall furnish the Administrative Agent with a written (including via facsimile) report of the daily aggregate outstandings of trade Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender for the immediately preceding week. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event that a Lender Default exists with respect to a Lender, no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue, renew, extend or amend any Letter of Credit unless such Issuing Lender has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and the Company to eliminate such Issuing Lender’s risk with respect to the participation in Letters of Credit by the Defaulting Lender (which arrangements are hereby consented to by the Lenders), including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s or Lenders’ RL Percentage of the Letter of Credit Outstandings with respect to such Letters of Credit (such arrangements, the “Letter of Credit Back-Stop Arrangements”).

3.04 Letter of Credit Participations.

(a) Immediately upon the issuance by an Issuing Lender of any Letter of Credit, such Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Lender, and each such Lender (in its capacity under this Section 3.04, a “Participant”) shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such Issuing Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Participant’s RL Percentage, in such Letter of Credit, each drawing or payment made thereunder and the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto. Upon any change in the Revolving Loan Commitments or RL Percentages of the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.13, 2.15 or 13.04(b), it is hereby agreed that, with respect to all outstanding Letters of Credit and Unpaid Drawings relating thereto, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant to this Section 3.04 to reflect the new RL Percentages of the assignor and assignee Lender, as the case may be.

(b) In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, no Issuing Lender shall have any obligation relative to the other Lenders other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered and that they appear to substantially comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by an Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it shall not create for such Issuing Lender any resulting liability to any Borrower, any other Credit Party, any Lender or any other Person unless such action is taken or omitted to be taken with gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Issuing Lender (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

(c) In the event that an Issuing Lender makes any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by it and the Borrowers shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to such Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.05(a), such Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each Participant of such failure, and each Participant shall promptly and unconditionally pay to such Issuing Lender the amount of such Participant’s RL Percentage of such unreimbursed payment in Dollars and in same day funds. If the Administrative Agent so notifies, on or prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on any Business Day, any Participant required to fund a payment under a Letter of Credit, such Participant shall make available to the respective Issuing Lender in Dollars such Participant’s Percentage of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in same day funds; provided, that, if any such notice is given to any Participant after 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on such Business Day, such payment will be made available by such Participant to such Issuing Lender on the immediately succeeding Business Day. If and to the extent such Participant shall not have so made its RL Percentage of the amount of such payment available to the respective Issuing Lender, such Participant agrees to pay to such Issuing Lender, forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to such Issuing Lender at the overnight Federal Funds Rate for the first three days and at the interest rate applicable to Loans that are maintained as Base Rate Loans for each day thereafter. The failure of any Participant to make available to an Issuing Lender its RL Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender shall not relieve any other Participant of its obligation hereunder to make available to such Issuing Lender its RL Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no Participant shall be responsible for the failure of any other Participant to make available to such Issuing Lender such other Participant’s RL Percentage of any such payment.

(d) Whenever an Issuing Lender receives a payment of a reimbursement obligation as to which it has received any payments from the Participants pursuant to clause (c) above, such Issuing Lender shall pay to each such Participant which has paid its RL Percentage thereof, in Dollars and in same day funds, an amount equal to such Participant’s share (based upon the proportionate aggregate amount originally funded by such Participant to the aggregate amount funded by all Participants) of the principal amount of such reimbursement obligation and interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective participations.

(e) Upon the request of any Participant, each Issuing Lender shall furnish to such Participant copies of any standby Letter of Credit issued by it and such other documentation as may reasonably be requested by such Participant.

(f) The obligations of the Participants to make payments to each Issuing Lender with respect to Letters of Credit shall be irrevocable and not subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including any of the following circumstances: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents; (ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which any Credit Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, any Participant, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between any Credit Party or any Subsidiary of any Credit Party and the beneficiary named in any such Letter of Credit); (iii) any draft, certificate or any other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (iv) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Credit Documents; or (v) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default.

3.05 Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings.

(a) Each Borrower hereby jointly and severally agrees to reimburse each Issuing Lender, by making payment to the Administrative Agent in Dollars in immediately available funds at the Payment Office, for any payment or disbursement made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit issued by it (each such amount, so paid until reimbursed by the respective Borrower, an “Unpaid Drawing”), not later than one Business Day following receipt by the respective Borrower of notice of such payment or disbursement (provided, that, no such notice shall be required to be given if a Default or an Event of Default under Section 11.05 shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case the Unpaid Drawing shall be due and payable immediately without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind (all of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers)), with interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Lender, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the date of such payment or disbursement from and including the date paid or disbursed to but excluding the date such Issuing Lender was reimbursed by the respective Borrower therefor at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate as in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time for Loans that are maintained as Base Rate Loans; provided, however, to the extent such amounts are not reimbursed prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the third Business Day following the receipt by the respective Borrower of notice of such payment or disbursement or following the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under Section 11.05, interest shall thereafter accrue on the amounts so paid or disbursed by such Issuing Lender (and until reimbursed by the Borrowers) at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate as in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin for Loans that are maintained as Base Rate Loans as in effect from time to time plus 2%, with such interest to be payable on demand. Each Issuing Lender shall give the respective Borrower prompt written notice of each Drawing under any Letter of Credit issued by it; provided, that, the failure to give any such notice shall in no way affect, impair or diminish the Borrowers’ obligations hereunder.

(b) The joint and several obligations of the Borrowers under this Section 3.05 to reimburse each Issuing Lender with respect to drafts, demands and other presentations for payment under Letters of Credit issued by it (each, a “Drawing”) (including, in each case, interest thereon) shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which any Credit Party or any Subsidiary of any Credit Party may have or have had against any Lender (including in its capacity as an Issuing Lender or as a Participant), including any defense based upon the failure of any drawing under a Letter of Credit to conform to the terms of the Letter of Credit or any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such Drawing; provided, however, that no Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse any Issuing Lender for any wrongful payment made by such Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit issued by it as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of such Issuing Lender (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

3.06 Increased Costs. If at any time after the Effective Date, the introduction of or any change in any applicable law, rule, regulation, order, guideline or request or in the interpretation or administration thereof by the NAIC or any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Issuing Lender or any Participant with any request or directive by the NAIC or by any such Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall either (a) impose, modify or make applicable any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against letters of credit issued by any Issuing Lender or participated in by any Participant, or (b) impose on any Issuing Lender or any Participant any other conditions relating, directly or indirectly, to this Agreement or any Letter of Credit; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to any Issuing Lender or any Participant of issuing, maintaining or participating in any Letter of Credit, or reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by any Issuing Lender or any Participant hereunder or reduce the rate of return on its capital with respect to Letters of Credit

(but excluding, for these purposes, any Taxes payable or subject to indemnification or reimbursement under Section 5.04 and the imposition of or a change in the rate of Excluded Taxes), then, upon the delivery of the certificate referred to below to the Company by any Issuing Lender or any Participant (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by such Issuing Lender or such Participant to the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to such Issuing Lender or such Participant such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Issuing Lender or such Participant for such increased cost or reduction in the amount receivable or reduction on the rate of return on its capital. Any Issuing Lender or any Participant, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable to it pursuant to this Section 3.06, will give prompt written notice thereof to the Company, which notice shall include a certificate submitted to the Company by such Issuing Lender or such Participant (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by such Issuing Lender or such Participant to the Administrative Agent), setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation of such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Issuing Lender or such Participant and certifying to the Company that such Issuing Lender or such Participant has made such determination with respect to similarly-situated borrowers. The certificate required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 3.06 shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on the Borrowers.

3.07 Extended Commitments. If the Initial Revolving Commitment Termination Date shall have occurred at a time when Extended Revolving Loan Commitments are in effect, then such Letters of Credit shall automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the Lenders to purchase participations therein and to make payments in respect thereof pursuant to Sections 3.04 and 3.05) under (and ratably participated in by Lenders under the applicable tranche pursuant to) the Extended Revolving Loan Commitments up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of the unutilized Extended Revolving Loan Commitments thereunder at such time (it being understood that no partial face amount of any Letter of Credit may be so reallocated). Except to the extent of reallocations of participations pursuant to the prior sentence, the occurrence of the Initial Revolving Commitment Termination Date shall have no effect upon (and shall not diminish) the percentage participations of the Lenders in any Letter of Credit issued before the Initial Revolving Commitment Termination Date.

SECTION 4. Commitment Commission; Fees; Reductions of Commitment.

4.01 Fees.

(a) The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each Non-Defaulting Lender a commitment commission (the “Commitment Commission”) for the period from and including the Effective Date to and including the Revolving Commitment Termination Date (or such earlier date on which the Total Revolving Loan Commitment has been terminated) computed at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Commitment Commission Percentage of the Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender as in effect from time to time. Accrued Commitment Commission shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and on the date upon which the Total Revolving Loan Commitment is terminated.

(b) The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each Lender (based on each such Lender’s respective RL Percentage) a fee in respect of each Letter of Credit (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to and including the date of termination or expiration of such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of standby Letters of Credit, the Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time during such period with respect to Revolving Loans that are maintained as LIBOR Loans on the daily Stated Amount of each such Letter of Credit and (ii) in the case of commercial Letters of Credit, the Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time during such period with respect to Revolving Loans that are

maintained as LIBOR Loans (less 50 basis points) on the daily Stated Amount of each such Letter of Credit. Accrued Letter of Credit Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and on the first day on or after the termination of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment upon which no Letters of Credit remain outstanding.

(c) The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to each Issuing Lender, for its own account, a facing fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by it (the “Facing Fee”) for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to and including the date of termination or expiration of such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate per annum equal to 1/8 of 1% on the daily Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit. Accrued Facing Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and upon the first day on or after the termination of the Total Revolving Loan Commitment, upon which no Letters of Credit remain outstanding.

(d) The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to each Issuing Lender, for its own account, upon each payment under, issuance of, or amendment to, any Letter of Credit issued by it, such amount as shall at the time of such event be the administrative charge and the reasonable expenses which such Issuing Lender is generally imposing in connection with such occurrence with respect to letters of credit.

(e) The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent such fees as may have been, or are hereafter, agreed to in writing from time to time by any Credit Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries and the Administrative Agent.

4.02 Voluntary Termination of Unutilized Commitments.

(a) Upon at least three Business Day’s prior written notice to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), the Company shall have the right, at any time or from time to time, without premium or penalty to terminate the Total Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment in whole, or reduce it in part, pursuant to this Section 4.02(a), in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in the case of partial reductions to the Total Unutilized Revolving Loan Commitment; provided, that, (i) each such reduction shall apply proportionately to permanently reduce the Revolving Loan Commitment of each Lender and (ii) after giving effect to such termination (A) the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the Maximum Letter of Credit Amount and (B) the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans then outstanding shall not exceed the Maximum Swingline Amount.

(b) In the event of certain refusals by a Lender to consent to certain proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 13.12(b), the Company shall have the right, subject to obtaining the consents required by Section 13.12(b), upon five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), to terminate the entire Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender, so long as all Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest, Fees and all other amounts, owing to such Lender (including all amounts, if any, owing pursuant to Section 2.11) are repaid concurrently with the effectiveness of such termination (at which time Schedule 1.01(a) shall be deemed modified to reflect such changed amounts) and such Lender’s RL Percentage of all outstanding Letters of Credit is cash collateralized in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Lenders, and at such time such Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes of this Agreement, except with respect to indemnifications under this Agreement (including Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.06, 5.04, 12.06, 13.01 and 13.06), which shall survive as to such repaid Lender.

4.03 Mandatory Reduction of Commitments. The Total Revolving Loan Commitment (and the Revolving Loan Commitment of each Lender) shall terminate in its entirety upon the Revolving Commitment Termination Date.

SECTION 5. Prepayments; Payments; Taxes.

5.01 Voluntary Prepayments.

(a) Each Borrower shall have the right to prepay the Loans, without premium or penalty, in whole or in part at any time and from time to time on the following terms and conditions: (i) such Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) (or 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) in the case of succeeding clause (A)) at the Notice Office (A) same day written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of its intent to prepay Base Rate Loans and (B) at least three Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of its intent to prepay LIBOR Loans, which notice (in each case) shall specify whether Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans shall be prepaid, the amount of such prepayment and the Types of Loans to be prepaid and, in the case of LIBOR Loans, the specific Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such LIBOR Loans were made, and which notice the Administrative Agent shall, except in the case of a prepayment of Swingline Loans, promptly transmit to each of the Lenders; (ii) (A) each partial prepayment of Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 5.01(a) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at least $250,000 (or such lesser amount as is acceptable to the Administrative Agent) and (B) each partial prepayment of Swingline Loans pursuant to this Section 5.01(a) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at least $100,000 (or such lesser amount as is acceptable to the Administrative Agent in any given case); provided, that, if any partial prepayment of LIBOR Loans made pursuant to any Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of LIBOR Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, then such Borrowing may not be continued as a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans (and same shall automatically be converted into a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans) and any election of an Interest Period with respect thereto given by such Borrower shall have no force or effect; and (iii) each prepayment pursuant to this Section 5.01(a) in respect of any Revolving Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Revolving Loans; provided, that, at such Borrower’s election in connection with any prepayment of Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 5.01(a), such prepayment shall not, so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, be applied to any Revolving Loan of a Defaulting Lender (it being understood and agreed that, if at any time thereafter any such Defaulting Lender ceases to be a Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, each Borrower shall, in coordination with the Administrative Agent, repay outstanding Revolving Loans of certain of the Lenders, and incur additional Revolving Loans from certain other Lenders, in each case to the extent necessary so that all of the Lenders participate in each outstanding Borrowing of Revolving Loans pro rata on the basis of their respective Revolving Loan Commitments and with the Borrowers being obligated to pay to the respective Lenders any costs of the type referred to in Section 2.11 in connection with any such repayment and/or Borrowing).

(b) In the event of certain refusals by a Lender to consent to certain proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 13.12(b), the Borrowers may, upon five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), repay all Revolving Loans of such Lender, together with accrued and unpaid interest, Fees and all other amounts then owing to such Lender (including all amounts, if any, owing pursuant to Section 2.11) in accordance with, and subject to the requirements of, Section 13.12(b), so long as (i) (A) the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender is terminated concurrently with such repayment pursuant to Section 4.02(b) (at which time Schedule 1.01(a) shall be deemed modified to reflect the changed Revolving Loan Commitments) and (B) such Lender’s RL Percentage of all outstanding Letters of Credit is cash collateralized in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the respective Issuing Lenders and (ii) the consents, if any, required by Section 13.12(b) in connection with the repayment pursuant to this clause (b) shall have been obtained.

5.02 Mandatory Repayments; Cash Collateralization.

(a) (i) On any day on which the Aggregate Exposure exceeds (A) 100% (or, during an Agent Advance Period, 105%) of the Borrowing Base at such time and/or (B) the Total Revolving Loan Commitment at such time, then in each case, the Borrowers jointly and severally shall repay on such day the principal of Swingline Loans and, after all Swingline Loans have been repaid in full or if no Swingline Loans are outstanding, Revolving Loans in an amount equal to such excess. If, after giving effect to the repayment of all outstanding Swingline Loans and Revolving Loans, the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Outstandings exceeds (1) the Borrowing Base at such time and/or (2) the Total Revolving Loan Commitment at such time, then in each case, the Borrowers jointly and severally shall pay to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office on such day an amount of cash and/or Cash Equivalents equal to the amount of such excess (up to a maximum amount equal to the Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time), such cash and/or Cash Equivalents to be held as security for all Obligations of the Borrowers to each applicable Issuing Lender and the Lenders hereunder in a cash collateral account to be established by, and under the sole dominion and control of, the Administrative Agent.

(ii) On any day on which either (A) the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Outstandings exceeds the Maximum Letter of Credit Amount or (B) the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Outstandings in respect of Letters of Credit issued by a particular Issuing Lender exceeds the Issuing Lender Sublimit for such Issuing Lender, the Borrowers jointly and severally shall pay to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office on such day an amount of cash and/or Cash Equivalents equal to the amount of either such excess, such cash and/or Cash Equivalents to be held as security for all Obligations of the Borrowers to each applicable Issuing Lender and the Lenders hereunder in a cash collateral account to be established by, and under the sole dominion and control of, the Administrative Agent.

(iii) On any day on which the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans then outstanding exceeds the Maximum Swingline Amount, the Borrowers jointly and severally shall repay on such day the principal of Swingline Loans in an amount equal to such excess.

(b) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 5.02, on each date on or after the Effective Date upon which any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries receives any cash proceeds from any Asset Sale of ABL Priority Collateral (other than Asset Sales or series of related Asset Sales where the Net Sale Proceeds therefrom do not exceed $2,500,000 in any Fiscal Year) during a Dominion Period, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Sale Proceeds therefrom shall be applied within three Business Days of receipt thereof as a mandatory repayment in accordance with the requirements of Sections 5.02(d) and (e).

(c) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 5.02, on each date on or after the Effective Date upon which any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries receives any cash proceeds from any Recovery Event in respect of ABL Priority Collateral (other than Recovery Events where the Net Insurance Proceeds therefrom do not exceed $2,500,000 in any Fiscal Year) during a Dominion Period, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Insurance Proceeds from such Recovery Event shall be applied within three Business Days of receipt thereof as a mandatory repayment in accordance with the requirements of Sections 5.02(d) and (e).

(d) Each amount required to be applied pursuant to Sections 5.02(b) and (c) in accordance with this Section 5.02(d) shall be applied (i) first, to repay the outstanding principal amount of Swingline Loans without any reduction in the Total Revolving Loan Commitment, (ii) second, if no

Swingline Loans are or remain outstanding, to repay the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans without any reduction in the Total Revolving Loan Commitment and (iii) third, if no Swingline Loans or Revolving Loans are or remain outstanding and a Default or an Event of Default then exists, to cash collateralize Letters of Credit (such cash collateral to be held by the Administrative Agent in a cash collateral account to be established by, and under the sole dominion and control of, the Administrative Agent and applied to the Obligations of the applicable Borrowers to the Issuing Lenders and/or Lenders in respect of any Drawings made under any such Letters of Credit).

(e) With respect to each repayment of Loans required by this Section 5.02, the Borrowers may designate the Types of Loans which are to be repaid and, in the case of LIBOR Loans, the specific Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such LIBOR Loans were made; provided, that: (i) repayments of LIBOR Loans pursuant to this Section 5.02 made on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto shall be subject to Section 2.11; (ii) if any repayment of LIBOR Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding LIBOR Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, such Borrowing shall be automatically converted into a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans; and (iii) each repayment of any Revolving Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among the Lenders holding such Revolving Loans. In the absence of a designation by a Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its sole discretion.

(f) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 5.02, (i) all then outstanding Swingline Loans shall be repaid in full on the earlier of (A) the tenth Business Day following the date the incurrence of such Swingline Loans and (B) Swingline Expiry Date, and (ii) all then outstanding Revolving Loans shall be repaid in full on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date.

(g) If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender at any time that any Letter of Credit issued by any Issuing Lender is outstanding, the Borrower shall enter into the applicable Letter of Credit Back Stop Arrangements with such Issuing Lender no later than 10 Business Days after the date such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender.

5.03 Method and Place of Payment.

(a) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under this Agreement and under any Note shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lender or Lenders entitled thereto not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the date when due and shall be made in Dollars in immediately available funds at the Payment Office. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any Note shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable at the applicable rate during such extension.

(b) Each Borrower and each Guarantor shall, along with the Collateral Agent and certain financial institutions with which the Borrowers and Guarantors maintain Deposit Accounts (the “Collection Banks”), enter into on or prior to the 90th day following the Effective Date (as such date may be extended from time to time by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) and thereafter maintain separate Cash Management Control Agreements with respect to all Deposit Accounts (other than Excluded Accounts). Each Credit Party shall instruct all Account Debtors of the Credit Parties to remit all payments to the applicable “P.O. Boxes” or “Lockbox Addresses” of the applicable Collection Bank (or to remit such payments to the applicable Collection Bank by electronic settlement) with respect to all Accounts of such Account Debtor, which remittances shall be collected by the applicable Collection Bank and deposited in the applicable Collection Account. All amounts received by any Credit Party and any Collection Bank in respect of any Account, in addition to all other cash received from any other source, shall upon receipt be deposited into a

Collection Account or directly into a Concentration Account or, to the extent permitted hereunder in the case of amounts not constituting payments in respect of Accounts of a Credit Party, an Excluded Account. Each Credit Party shall, along with the Collateral Agent and each of those banks or other Persons in which any other Deposit Accounts (other than Excluded Accounts) and Securities Accounts (other than Excluded Accounts) are maintained, enter into on or prior to the 90th day following the Effective Date (as such date may be extended from time to time by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) and thereafter maintain separate Cash Management Control Agreements.

(c) All amounts held in all of the Collection Accounts and Disbursement Accounts (but not Excluded Accounts) with respect to each Credit Party shall be wired by the close of business on each Business Day into one or more concentration accounts (each, a “Concentration Account”) with the Collateral Agent, one or more Lenders and/or one or more other institutions reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (it being understood that any institution with which the Company or any other Credit Party maintains a Deposit Account as of the Effective Date shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) unless such amounts are otherwise required or permitted to be applied pursuant to Section 5.02. All of the Collection Accounts and Disbursement Accounts (other than an Excluded Account) shall be “zero” balance accounts. So long as no Dominion Period then exists, the Borrowers and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be permitted to transfer cash from the Concentration Accounts to the Disbursement Accounts to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, all subject to the requirements of this Section 5.03(c) and pursuant to procedures and arrangements to be determined by the Administrative Agent.

(a) Each of the Credit Parties will, and will cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to, (i) keep all property necessary to the business of the Credit Parties and their respective Subsidiaries in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted and subject to the occurrence of casualty events, (ii) maintain with financially sound and reputable insurance companies insurance on all such property and against all such risks as is consistent and in accordance with industry practice for companies similarly situated owning similar properties and engaged in similar businesses as the Credit Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, and (iii) furnish to the Administrative Agent, upon its request therefor, full information as to the insurance carried. In addition to the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence, the Credit Parties will at all times cause insurance of the types described in Schedule 8.22 to be maintained (with the same scope of coverage as that described in Schedule 8.22) at levels which are consistent with their practices immediately before the Effective Date. Such insurance shall include physical damage insurance on all real

and personal property (whether now owned or hereafter acquired) on an all risk basis and business interruption insurance. The provisions of this Section 9.03 shall be deemed supplemental to, but not duplicative of, the provisions of any Security Documents that require the maintenance of insurance.

(b) Each of the Credit Parties will, and will cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to, at all times keep its property insured in favor of the Collateral Agent, and all policies or certificates (or certified copies thereof) with respect to such insurance (and any other insurance maintained by such Credit Party and/or such Subsidiaries) (i) shall be endorsed to the Collateral Agent’s satisfaction for the benefit of the Collateral Agent (including by naming the Collateral Agent as loss payee and/or additional insured), (ii) shall state that such insurance policies shall not be canceled without at least 30 days’ prior written notice thereof by the respective insurer to the Collateral Agent, (iii) shall provide that the respective insurers irrevocably waive any and all rights of subrogation with respect to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, and (iv) shall be deposited with the Collateral Agent.

9.04 Existence; Franchises. Each of the Credit Parties will, and will cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to, do or cause to be done, all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence and its material rights, franchises, licenses, permits, copyrights, trademarks and patents; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 9.04 shall prevent (a) sales of assets and other transactions by any Credit Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries otherwise permitted hereunder or (b) the withdrawal by any Credit Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries of its qualification as a foreign Business in any jurisdiction if such withdrawal could not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

9.05 Compliance with Statutes, etc. Each of the Credit Parties will, and will cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to, comply with all applicable statutes, regulations and orders of, and all applicable restrictions imposed by, all Governmental Authorities in respect of the conduct of its business and the ownership of its property, except such non-compliances as could not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

9.06 Compliance with Environmental Laws.

(a) Each of the Credit Parties (i) will comply, and will cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to comply, with all Environmental Laws and permits applicable to, or required in respect of the conduct of its business or operations or by, the ownership, lease or use of any Real Property now or hereafter owned, leased or operated by any Credit Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries, except for such non-compliances as could not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and will promptly pay or cause to be paid all costs and expenses incurred in connection with such compliance, and will keep or cause to be kept all such Real Property free and clear of any Liens imposed pursuant to such Environmental Laws, other than Permitted Liens, and (ii) take, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to take, any reasonable actions necessary to materially comply with the terms and conditions of the Consent Decree and the RCRA Administrative Orders, as such decree and orders have been, or may in the future be, modified or replaced.

(b) Subject to Section 9.06(c), the Company will deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with reasonable promptness, such documents and information as from time to time may be reasonably requested by Administrative Agent in relation to any matters addressed by this Section 9.06.

(i) After the receipt by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any notice of the type described in Section 9.01(i), or (ii) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then, at the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent, the Company will prepare an environmental report with respect to any matter disclosed pursuant to Section 9.01(i) or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to any facility of any Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof (the “Environmental Report”); provided, however, that any such Environmental Report shall not include the taking of samples of air, soil, surface water, groundwater, effluent, and building materials, in, on or under any owned or operated facilities unless the Administrative Agent reasonably concludes that such sampling is commercially reasonable and necessary. Any such sampling shall be conducted by a qualified environmental consulting firm reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or if the Company does not prepare an Environmental Report or conduct the requested tests and investigations in a reasonably timely manner, the Administrative Agent may, upon prior notice to the Company, retain an environmental consultant, at the Credit Parties’ expense, to prepare an Environmental Report and conduct such sampling as it reasonably concludes is commercially reasonable and necessary. The Credit Parties and their respective Subsidiaries will provide the Administrative Agent and its consultants with access to the facilities during normal business hours in order to complete any necessary inspections or sampling in accordance with this Section 9.06(c). The Administrative Agent will make commercially reasonable efforts to conduct any such investigations so as to avoid interfering with the operation of the facility.

(ii) The exercise of the Administrative Agent’s rights under Section 9.06(c)(i) shall not constitute a waiver of any default by the Credit Parties or their respective Subsidiaries and shall not impose any liability on the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders. In no event will any site visit, observation, test or investigation by the Administrative Agent be deemed a representation that Hazardous Materials are or are not present in, on or under any of the facilities, or that there has been or will be compliance with any Environmental Law, and the Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have made any representation or warranty to any party regarding the truth, accuracy or completeness of any report or findings with regard thereto. Without express written authorization, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, neither any Credit Party nor any other party shall be entitled to rely on any site visit observation, test or investigation by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders owe no duty of care to protect any Credit Party or any other party against, or to inform any Credit Party or any other party of, any Hazardous Materials or any other adverse Environmental Condition affecting any of the facilities. The Administrative Agent may in its reasonable discretion disclose to any Credit Party or, if so required by law, to any third party, any report or findings made as a result of, or in connection with, any site visit, observation, testing or investigation by the Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent reasonably believes that it is legally required to disclose any such report or finding to any third party, then the Administrative Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to give the Company prior notice of such disclosure and afford the Company the opportunity to object or defend against such disclosure at its own and sole cost; provided, that, the failure of the Administrative Agent to give any such notice or afford the Company the opportunity to object or defend against such disclosure shall not result in any liability to the Administrative Agent. Each Credit Party acknowledges that it or its Subsidiaries may be obligated to notify relevant Governmental Authorities regarding the results of any site visit, observation, testing or investigation by the Administrative Agent and

100

that such reporting requirements are site and fact-specific, and are to be evaluated by such Credit Party without advice or assistance from the Administrative Agent. Nothing contained in this Section 9.06(c)(ii) shall be construed as releasing the Administrative Agent or the Lenders from any liability to the extent incurred as a result of their gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

(iii) If counsel to any Credit Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries reasonably determines that provision to the Administrative Agent of a document otherwise required to be provided pursuant to this Section 9.06 (or any other provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document relating to environmental matters) would jeopardize an applicable attorney-client or work product privilege pertaining to such document, then the Credit Parties or their respective Subsidiaries shall not be obligated to deliver such document to the Administrative Agent but shall provide the Administrative Agent with a notice identifying the author and recipient of such document and generally describing the contents of the document. Upon request of the Administrative Agent, the Credit Parties and their respective Subsidiaries shall take all reasonable steps necessary to provide the Administrative Agent with the factual information contained in any such privileged document.

9.07 ERISA. Except as could not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, the Company shall supply to the Administrative Agent (in sufficient copies for all Lenders, if the Administrative Agent so requests);

(a) promptly and in any event within 15 days after receiving a request from the Agent a copy of IRS Form 5500 (including the Schedule B) with respect to a Plan subject to Title IV of ERISA;

(b) promptly and in any event within 30 days after any Credit Party, any Subsidiary of any Credit Party or any ERISA Affiliate knows or has reason to know that any ERISA Event has occurred that would reasonably be expected to result in liability to any Credit Party or any Subsidiaries of any Credit Party, a certificate of the chief financial officer of the Company describing such ERISA Event and the action, if any, proposed to be taken with respect to such ERISA Event and a copy of any notice filed with the PBGC or the IRS pertaining to such ERISA Event and any notices received by any Credit Party, any Subsidiary of any Credit Party or ERISA Affiliate from the PBGC or any other governmental agency with respect thereto; provided, that, in the case of ERISA Events under paragraph (d) of the definition thereof, the 30-day period set forth above shall be a 10-day period, and, in the case of ERISA Events under paragraph (b) of the definition thereof, in no event shall notice be given later than 10 days after the occurrence of the ERISA Event; and

(c) promptly, and in any event within 30 days, after becoming aware that any of the following has occurred if such event is reasonably expected to result in liability to any Credit Party, any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate, (i) an increase in Unfunded Pension Liabilities (taking into account only Plans with positive Unfunded Pension Liabilities) since the date the representations hereunder are given or deemed given, or from any prior notice, as applicable, (ii) an increase since the date the representations hereunder are given or deemed given, or from any prior notice, as applicable, in potential withdrawal liability under Section 4201 of ERISA, if any Credit Party, any Subsidiary of any Credit Party and the ERISA Affiliates were to withdraw completely from any and all Multiemployer Plans, (iii) any contribution required to made with respect to a Foreign Pension Plan has not been timely made or (iv) the adoption of any amendment to a Plan which results in an increase in contribution obligations of any Credit Party or any Subsidiary of any Credit Party, a detailed written description thereof from the chief financial officer of the Company.

9.11 Use of Proceeds. The Borrowers will use the proceeds of the Loans only as provided in Section 8.08.

9.12 Additional Security; Further Assurances; etc.

(a) Each of the Credit Parties will, and will cause each other Credit Party to, grant to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties security interests in such assets of such Credit Party and such other Credit Party as are not covered by the original Security Documents and as may be reasonably requested from time to time by the Administrative Agent (or otherwise required at such time pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement) (collectively, the “Additional Security Documents”). All such security interests shall be granted pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Collateral Agent and shall constitute valid and enforceable perfected security interests subject to no Liens (except for Permitted Liens, it being understood that Liens permitted by Section 10.01(d) shall be subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement). The Additional Security Documents or instruments related thereto shall have been duly recorded or filed in such manner and in such places as are required by law to establish, perfect, preserve and protect the Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent required to be granted pursuant to the Additional Security Documents and all taxes, fees and other charges payable in connection therewith shall have been paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 9.12(a) shall not apply to (and the Company and the other Credit Parties shall not be required to grant a Mortgage in) any Real Property unless a Mortgage is granted in respect of such Real Property pursuant to the terms of the First Lien Debt Documents, the Second Lien Notes Documents, the Refinancing Second Lien Notes Documents, the New Notes Documents, the Refinancing New Notes Documents or any Qualified Secured Debt Documents.

and 5.04 (which shall be the sole remedy in respect of the matters set forth therein)). To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay or hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Borrowers jointly and severally shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the indemnified liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.

To the full extent permitted by applicable law, each Credit Party shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnified Person, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or incidental damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan, Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnified Person shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent the liability of such Indemnified Person results from such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable decision).

(a) In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and each Lender is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to any Credit Party or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Lender (including by branches and agencies of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Lender wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of any Credit Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries against and on account of the Obligations and liabilities of the Credit Parties to the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Lender under this Agreement or under any of the other Credit Documents, including all interests in Obligations purchased by such Lender pursuant to Section 13.04(b), and all other claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder and although said Obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured.

(b) NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING SUBSECTION (a), AT ANY TIME THAT THE LOANS OR ANY OTHER OBLIGATION SHALL BE SECURED BY REAL PROPERTY LOCATED IN CALIFORNIA, NO LENDER SHALL EXERCISE A RIGHT OF SETOFF, LIEN OR COUNTERCLAIM OR TAKE ANY COURT OR ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION OR INSTITUTE ANY PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY NOTE UNLESS IT IS TAKEN WITH THE CONSENT OF THE REQUIRED LENDERS OR APPROVED IN WRITING BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, IF SUCH SETOFF OR ACTION OR PROCEEDING WOULD OR MIGHT (PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE SECTIONS 580a, 580b, 580d AND 726 OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE OR SECTION 2924 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE, IF APPLICABLE, OR OTHERWISE) AFFECT OR IMPAIR THE VALIDITY, PRIORITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THE LIENS GRANTED TO THE COLLATERAL AGENT PURSUANT TO THE SECURITY

134

DOCUMENTS OR THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THE NOTES AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, AND ANY ATTEMPTED EXERCISE BY ANY LENDER OF ANY SUCH RIGHT WITHOUT OBTAINING SUCH CONSENT OF THE REQUIRED LENDERS OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL BE NULL AND VOID. THIS SUBSECTION (b) SHALL BE SOLELY FOR THE BENEFIT OF EACH OF THE LENDERS AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT HEREUNDER.

13.03 Notices.

(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including telegraphic, telecopier or cable communication) and mailed, telegraphed, telecopied, cabled or delivered: if to any Credit Party, at the address specified opposite its signature below or in the other relevant Credit Documents; if to any Lender, at its address specified on Schedule 13.03; if to the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, at the Notice Office; or, as to any Credit Party or the Administrative Agent, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties hereto and, as to each Lender, at such other address as shall be designated by such Lender in a written notice to the Company and the Administrative Agent. All such notices and communications shall, when mailed, telegraphed, telecopied, or cabled or sent by overnight courier, be effective when deposited in the mails, delivered to the telegraph company, cable company or overnight courier, as the case may be, or sent by telecopier, except that notices and communications to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Company shall not be effective until received by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Company, as the case may be.

(b) Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided, that, the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Section 2 unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender. Each of the Administrative Agent and each Credit Party may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, that, approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

13.04 Benefit of Agreement; Assignments; Participations.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, no Credit Party may assign or transfer any of its rights, obligations or interest hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lenders and, provided, further, that, although any Lender may grant participations to Eligible Transferees in its rights hereunder, such Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder (and may not transfer or assign all or any portion of its Revolving Loan Commitment hereunder except as provided in Sections 2.13 and 13.04(b)) and the transferee, assignee or participant, as the case may be, shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder and, provided further, that no Lender shall transfer or grant any participation under which the participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan, Note or Letter of Credit (unless such Letter of Credit is not extended beyond the Revolving Commitment Termination Date) in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof (it being understood that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement or to Section 13.07(a) shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or Fees payable hereunder), or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Total Revolving Loan Commitment shall not

135

constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Revolving Loan Commitment (or the available portion thereof) or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or (iii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under all of the Security Documents (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) supporting the Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder in which such participant is participating. In the case of any such participation, the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (the participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by the Borrowers hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation; provided, however, that the Borrowers agree that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.04 if the Borrowers are notified of the participation sold to such participant and such participant agrees to comply with the requirements of Section 5.04 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 13.04(b) (provided, however, that no participant shall be entitled to receive any greater payment pursuant to Section 5.04 than the participating Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such participating Lender to such participant had no such participation occurred). Each Lender that sells a participation pursuant to this Section 13.04(a) shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register 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 this Agreement (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive 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. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed 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 Loan or other obligation under this Agreement) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Treasury Regulation Section 5f.103-1(c).

(b) Any Lender (or any Lender together with one or more other Lenders) may (x) assign all or a portion of its Revolving Loan Commitment and related outstanding Obligations (or, if the Revolving Loan Commitment has terminated, outstanding Obligations) hereunder to (i) (A) its parent company and/or any affiliate of such Lender which is at least 50% owned by such Lender or its parent company or (B) to one or more other Lenders or any affiliate of any such other Lender which is at least 50% owned by such other Lender or its parent company (provided, that, any fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of another fund which is a Lender (or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor) shall be treated as an affiliate of such other Lender for the purposes of this sub-clause (x)(i)(B)), or (ii) in the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in loans, any other fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of any Lender or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor or (y) assign all, or if less than all, a portion equal to at least $5,000,000 (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default then exists and is continuing, the Company may otherwise agree) in the aggregate for the assigning Lender or assigning Lenders, of such Revolving Loan Commitments and related outstanding Obligations (or, if the Revolving Loan Commitments have terminated, outstanding Obligations) hereunder to one or more Eligible Transferees (treating any fund that invests in loans and any other fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of such fund or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor as a single assignor or Eligible Transferee (as applicable) (if any)), each of which assignees shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, provided, that, no such assignment may be made to any such Person that is, or would at such time constitute, a Defaulting Lender, provided, further, that (i) at such time, Schedule 1.01(a) shall be deemed modified to reflect the Revolving Loan Commitments and/or outstanding Revolving Loans, as the case may be, of such new Lender and of the existing Lenders, (ii) upon the surrender of the

136

relevant Notes by the assigning Lender (or, upon such assigning Lender’s indemnifying the Borrowers for any lost Note pursuant to a customary indemnification agreement) new Notes will be issued, at the Borrowers’ joint and several expense, to such new Lender and to the assigning Lender upon the request of such new Lender or assigning Lender, such new Notes to be in conformity with the requirements of Section 2.05 (with appropriate modifications) to the extent needed to reflect the revised Revolving Loan Commitments and/or outstanding Revolving Loans, as the case may be, (iii) so long as no Event of Default then exists, the consent of the Company shall be required in connection with any such assignment pursuant to clause (y) above (such consent, in any case, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); provided, that, the Company shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten Business Days after having received notice thereof, (iv) the consent of the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Lender shall be required in connection with any such assignment of Revolving Loan Commitments (and related Obligations) (each such consent, in any case, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), (v) the Administrative Agent shall receive at the time of each such assignment, from the assigning or assignee Lender, the payment of a non-refundable assignment fee of $3,500 (provided, that, only one such fee shall be payable in the case of one or more concurrent assignments by or to investment funds managed or advised by the same investment advisor or an affiliated investment advisor), and (vi) no such transfer or assignment will be effective until recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register pursuant to Section 13.15. To the extent of any assignment pursuant to this Section 13.04(b), the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Revolving Loan Commitment and outstanding Revolving Loans. To the extent that an assignment of all or any portion of a Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment and related outstanding Obligations pursuant to Section 2.13 or this Section 13.04(b) would, at the time of such assignment, result in increased costs under Section 2.10, 3.06 or 5.04 from those being charged by the respective assigning Lender prior to such assignment, then the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrowers, in accordance with and pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement, shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective assignment).

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any assignment of any Revolving Loan Commitment and/or related Obligations to any Affiliated Lender shall be subject to each of the following conditions:

(i) Affiliated Lenders shall not receive information provided by Agent or any other Lender (other than administrative notices and certain other information as may be agreed) and shall not be permitted to attend or participate in any meetings between or among Agents and/or Lenders;

(ii) Affiliated Lenders shall not have any right to vote any of its interests under the Credit Facility (including in any bankruptcy or similar proceeding), except with respect to any amendment to (A) increase the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Affiliated Lender, (B) extend or postpone the final maturity or any scheduled date of amortization with respect to any Loan, (C) reduce the amount of principal, interest or fees payable to such Affiliated Lender in its capacity as a Lender, or (D) release all or substantially all the value of the Guarantees or to release liens on all or substantially all of the Collateral; provided, that, no amendment, modification or waiver of or under any of the Credit Documents shall, without the consent of the Affiliated Lenders, (1) deprive such Affiliated Lender of its pro rata share of any payment to which all Lenders are entitled or (2) disproportionately affect such Affiliated Lender in its capacity as a Lender as compared to other Lenders;

(iii) Affiliated Lenders may not direct the Agent or any Lender to take or refrain from taking any action under the Credit Documents, shall not be entitled to the advice of counsel to Agent or Lenders, and may not challenge attorney-client privilege between Agent, other Lenders and such counsel;

137

(iv) Affiliated Lenders shall automatically be deemed to have waived any right (in their capacity as an Affiliated Lender) to bring any action against Agent or any Lender for breach of fiduciary duty; and

(v) the amount of Revolving Loan Commitments purchased by Affiliated Lenders shall not in the aggregate at any time exceed 20% of the outstanding amount of the Total Revolving Loan Commitments.

(d) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Lender from pledging its Loans and Notes hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank, any Lender which is a fund may pledge all or any portion of its Loans and Notes to its trustee or to a collateral agent providing credit or credit support to such Lender in support of its obligations to such trustee, such collateral agent or a holder of such obligations, as the case may be. No pledge pursuant to this clause (c) shall (i) release the transferor Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or (ii) constitute a sale or assignment unless and until such pledge shall be realized upon (and any such realization or foreclosure must comply this Section 13.04).

(e) Any Lender which assigns all of its Revolving Loan Commitment and/or Loans hereunder in accordance with Section 13.04(b) shall cease to constitute a “Lender” hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.06, 5.04, 12.06, 13.01 and 13.06), which shall survive as to such assigning Lender.

13.05 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of dealing between the Borrower or any other Credit Party and the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights, powers and remedies herein or in any other Credit Document expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies which the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

13.06 Payments Pro Rata.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent agrees that promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf of any Borrower in respect of any Obligations hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Lenders entitled thereto (other than any Lender that has consented in writing to waive its pro rata share of any such payment) pro rata based upon their respective shares, if any, of the Obligations with respect to which such payment was received.

(b) Each of the Lenders agrees that, if it should receive any amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents, or otherwise), which is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Loans, Unpaid Drawings, Commitment Commission or Letter of Credit Fees, of a sum which with respect to the related sum or sums

138

received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of such Obligation then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such Obligation then owed and due to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the Obligations of the respective Credit Party to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all the Lenders in such amount; provided, that, if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lenders, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of the preceding Sections 13.06(a) and (b) shall be subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which require, or permit, differing payments to be made to Non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders.

13.07 Calculations; Computations.

(a) The financial statements to be furnished to the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be made and prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved (except as set forth in the notes thereto or as otherwise disclosed in writing by the Company to the Lenders); provided, that, (i) except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all computations and all definitions (including accounting terms) used in determining the Total Leverage Ratio and the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio and in determining compliance with Section 9.13 and Section 10.07, shall utilize GAAP and policies in conformity with those used to prepare the audited financial statements of the Company referred to in Section 8.05(a) for its Fiscal Year ended December 31, 2009, (ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all such financial statements shall be prepared, and all financial covenants contained herein or in any other Credit Document shall be calculated, in each case, without giving effect to any election under FASB ASC 825 (or any similar accounting principle permitting a Person to value its financial liabilities at the fair value thereof) and (iii) to the extent expressly provided herein, certain calculations shall be made on a Pro Forma Basis.

(b) All computations of interest, Commitment Commission and other Fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest, Commitment Commission or Fees are payable.

The Administrative Agent will give each Credit Party and each Lender prompt written notice of the occurrence of the Effective Date.

141

being understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Total Revolving Loan Commitment shall not constitute an increase of the Revolving Loan Commitment of any Lender, and that an increase in the available portion of the Revolving Loan Commitment of any Lender shall not constitute an increase of the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender), (2) without the consent of each Issuing Lender, amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 3 or alter its rights or obligations with respect to Letters of Credit, (3) without the consent of the Swingline Lender, alter the Swingline Lender’s rights or obligations with respect to Swingline Loans, (4) without the consent of the Administrative Agent, amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 12 or any other provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document as same relates to the rights or obligations of the Administrative Agent, (5) without the consent of the Collateral Agent, amend, modify or waive any provision of the Agreement or any other Credit Documents relating to the rights or obligations of the Collateral Agent, (6) without the consent of each of the Collateral Agent, amend, modify or waive any provision of the Agreement or any other Credit Documents relating to the rights or obligations of the Collateral Agent, (7) without the consent of the Supermajority Lenders, (x) amend the definition of Supermajority Lenders (it being understood that, with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Supermajority Lenders on substantially the same basis as the extensions of Loans and Revolving Loan Commitments are included on the Effective Date), or (y) increase the advance rates applicable to the Borrowing Base over those in effect on the Effective Date or amend or expand any of the following definitions, in each case the effect of which would be to increase the amounts available for borrowing hereunder: Borrowing Base, Eligible Accounts and Eligible Inventory (including, in each case, the defined terms used therein) (it being understood that the establishment, modification or elimination of Reserves and adjustment, establishment and elimination of criteria for Eligible Accounts and Eligible Inventory, in each case by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms hereof, will not be deemed to require a Supermajority Lender consent).

(b) If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination of or to any of the provisions of this Agreement as contemplated by clauses (i) through (vii), inclusive, of the first proviso to Section 13.12(a), the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained, then the Borrowers shall have the right, so long as all non-consenting Lenders whose individual consent is required are treated as described in either clause (A) or (B) below, to either (A) replace each such non-consenting Lender or Lenders with one or more Replacement Lenders pursuant to Section 2.13 so long as at the time of such replacement, each such Replacement Lender consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination or (B) terminate such non-consenting Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment and/or repay all outstanding Revolving Loans of such Lender and/or cash collateralize its applicable RL Percentage of the Letter of Credit Outstandings in accordance with Sections 4.02(b) and/or 5.01(b); provided, that, unless the Revolving Loan Commitments which are terminated and Revolving Loans which are repaid pursuant to preceding clause (B) are immediately replaced in full at such time through the addition of new Lenders or the increase of the Revolving Loan Commitments and/or outstanding Revolving Loans of existing Lenders (who in each case must specifically consent thereto), then in the case of any action pursuant to preceding clause (B), the Required Lenders (determined after giving effect to the proposed action) shall specifically consent thereto, provided, further, that the Borrowers shall not have the right to replace a Lender, terminate its Revolving Loan Commitment or repay its Revolving Loans solely as a result of the exercise of such Lender’s rights (and the withholding of any required consent by such Lender) pursuant to the second proviso to Section 13.12(a).

142

receives payment (including pursuant to an assignment to a replacement Lender in accordance with Section 13.04) in full of this principal of and interest accrued on each Loan made by it and all other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement, (y) this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers (a) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents with the Revolving Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders and (z) this Agreement and the other Credit Documents may be amended (or amended and restated) as contemplated by Section 2.16.

13.13 Survival. All indemnities set forth herein including in Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.06, 5.04, 12.06 and 13.01 shall survive the execution, delivery and termination of this Agreement and the Notes and the making and repayment of the Obligations.

13.14 Domicile of Loans. Each Lender may transfer and carry its Loans at, to or for the account of any office, Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that a transfer of Loans pursuant to this Section 13.14 would, at the time of such transfer, result in increased costs under Section 2.10, 2.11, 3.06 or 5.04 from those being charged by the respective Lender prior to such transfer, then the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrowers shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes in any applicable law, treaty, government rule, regulation, guidelines or order, or in the official interpretation thereof, after the date of the respective transfer).

13.15 Register. The Borrowers hereby designate the Administrative Agent to serve as its agent, solely for purposes of this Section 13.15, to maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it will record the Revolving Loan Commitments from time to time of each of the Lenders, the Loans made by each of the Lenders, the Letter of Credit Outstandings with respect to each Issuing Lender and each repayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans of each Lender and the Letter of Credit Outstandings with respect to such Issuing Lender. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect the Borrowers’ obligations in respect of such Loans. The transfer of the Revolving Loan Commitment of such

143

Lender and the Letter of Credit Outstandings with respect to such Issuing Lender, and the rights to the principal thereof, and interest thereon, shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent with respect to ownership of such Revolving Loan Commitment, Letters of Credit and Loans, and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Revolving Loan Commitment, Letters of Credit and Loans shall remain owing to the transferor. The registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of any Revolving Loan Commitments, Letters of Credit and Loans shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register only upon the acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment and Assumption Agreement pursuant to Section 13.04(b). Upon such acceptance and recordation, the assignee specified therein shall be treated as a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement. Coincident with the delivery of such an Assignment and Assumption Agreement to the Administrative Agent for acceptance and registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the assigning or transferor Lender shall surrender the Note (if any) evidencing such Loan, and thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the assigning or transferor Lender and/or the new Lender at the request of any such Lender. The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities of whatsoever nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent in performing its duties under this Section 13.15 (other than any losses, claims, damages and liabilities to the extent incurred by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision)). Each Lender shall have the right, upon written request to the Administrative Agent, to view the Register.

13.16 Confidentiality.

(a) Subject to the provisions of clause (b) of this Section 13.16, each Lender agrees that it will not disclose without the prior consent of the Company (other than to its employees, directors, auditors, bank examiners, advisors, agents, or counsel or to another Lender if such Lender or such Lender’s holding or parent company in its sole discretion determines that any such party should have access to such information, provided such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 13.16 to the same extent as such Lender) any non-public information with respect to any Credit Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries which is now or in the future furnished pursuant to this Agreement or any other Credit Document; provided, that, any Lender may disclose any such information (i) as has become generally available to the public other than by virtue of a breach of this Section 13.16(a) by the respective Lender, (ii) as may be required or appropriate in any report, statement or testimony submitted to any municipal, state or Federal regulatory body having or claiming to have jurisdiction over such Lender or to the Federal Reserve Board or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or similar organizations (whether in the United States or elsewhere) or their successors, (iii) as may be required or appropriate in respect to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, (iv) in order to comply with any law, order, regulation or ruling applicable to such Lender, (v) to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, (vi) to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in any swap, hedge or similar agreement (or to any such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor), so long as such contractual counterparty (or such professional advisor) agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 13.16 and (vii) to any prospective or actual transferee, pledgee or participant in connection with any contemplated transfer, pledge or participation of any of the Notes or Revolving Loan Commitments or any interest therein by such Lender; provided, that, such prospective transferee, pledgee or participant agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions contained in this Section 13.16.

(b) Each of the Credit Parties hereby acknowledges and agrees that each Lender may share with any of its affiliates (including its affiliates’ respective employees, directors, auditors, advisors and counsel) and such affiliates may share with such Lender, any information related to any Credit Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries (including any non-public customer information regarding the creditworthiness of the Credit Parties and their respective Subsidiaries); provided, that, (x) such Persons shall be subject to the

144

provisions of this Section 13.16 to the same extent as such Lender and (y) such information shall be utilized by such Lender or its affiliates solely in connection with the matters related to the Credit Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby.

13.17 Patriot Act. Each Lender subject to the USA PATRIOT Improvement and Reauthorization Act, Pub. L. 109-177 (signed into law March 9, 2009) (as amended from time to time, the “Patriot Act”) hereby notifies each Credit Party that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Credit Parties and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Credit Parties in accordance with the Act.

13.18 OTHER LIENS ON COLLATERAL; TERMS OF INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT; ETC.

(a) EACH LENDER UNDERSTANDS, ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT LIENS HAVE BEEN CREATED ON THE COLLATERAL PURSUANT TO THE FIRST LIEN DEBT DOCUMENTS, THE SECOND LIEN NOTES DOCUMENTS AND THE NEW NOTES DOCUMENTS, AND MAY BE CREATED UNDER THE FIRST LIEN DEBT DOCUMENTS, THE REFINANCING SECOND LIEN NOTES DOCUMENTS, THE NEW NOTES DOCUMENTS, THE REFINANCING NEW NOTES DOCUMENTS AND THE QUALIFIED SECURED DEBT DOCUMENTS, WHICH LIENS SHALL BE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. PURSUANT TO THE EXPRESS TERMS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONFLICT BETWEEN THE TERMS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE CREDIT DOCUMENTS, THE PROVISIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT SHALL GOVERN AND CONTROL.

(b) EACH LENDER AUTHORIZES AND INSTRUCTS THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT TO ENTER INTO THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF THE LENDERS, AND TO TAKE ALL ACTIONS (AND EXECUTE ALL DOCUMENTS) REQUIRED (OR DEEMED ADVISABLE) BY IT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT.

(c) THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 13.18 ARE NOT INTENDED TO SUMMARIZE ALL RELEVANT PROVISIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, THE FORM OF WHICH IS ATTACHED AS AN EXHIBIT TO THIS AGREEMENT. REFERENCE MUST BE MADE TO THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT ITSELF TO UNDERSTAND ALL TERMS AND CONDITIONS THEREOF. EACH LENDER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING ITS OWN ANALYSIS AND REVIEW OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS THEREOF, AND NEITHER THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION TO ANY LENDER AS TO THE SUFFICIENCY OR ADVISABILITY OF THE PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT.

13.19 [Reserved].

13.20 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Credit Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Credit Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an

145

amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

13.21 No Fiduciary Duty. Each Agent, each Lender, and their respective Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”) may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Credit Parties, their stockholders and/or their respective affiliates. Each Credit Party agrees that nothing in the Credit Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and any Credit Party, its respective stockholders or its respective affiliates, on the other. The Credit Parties acknowledge and agree that: (a) the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, each Credit Party, on the other, and (b) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (i) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Credit Party, its respective stockholders or its respective affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Credit Party, its respective stockholders or its respective Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Credit Party except the obligations expressly set forth in the Credit Documents and (ii) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of such Credit Party, its respective management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person. Each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that such Credit Party has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. Each Credit Party agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to such Credit Party, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

SECTION 14. Nature of Borrower Obligations.

14.01 Nature of Borrower Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, it is understood and agreed by the various parties to this Agreement that all Obligations to repay principal of, interest on, and all other amounts with respect to, all Loans, Letters of Credit and all other Obligations pursuant to this Agreement and each other Credit Document (including all fees, indemnities, taxes and other Obligations in connection therewith or in connection with the related Revolving Loan Commitments) shall constitute the joint and several obligations of each of the Borrowers. In addition to the direct (and joint and several) obligations of the Borrowers with respect to Obligations as described above, all such Obligations shall be guaranteed pursuant to, and in accordance with the terms of, the Guaranty.

14.02 Independent Obligation. The obligations of each Borrower with respect to the Obligations are independent of the obligations of each other Borrower or any Guarantor under the Guaranty of such Obligations, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Borrower, whether or not any other Borrower or any Guarantor is joined in any such action or actions. Each Borrower waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the

146

benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any payment by any Borrower or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to any Borrower shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, operate to toll the statute of limitations as to each Borrower.

14.03 Authorization. Each of the Borrowers authorizes the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders without notice or demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to:

(a) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against any other Borrower or any Guarantor or others or otherwise act or refrain from acting;

(b) release or substitute any other Borrower, endorsers, Guarantors or other obligors;

(c) settle or compromise any of the Obligations of any other Borrower or any other Credit Party, any security therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of any Borrower to its creditors other than the Lenders;

(d) apply any sums paid by any other Borrower or any other Person, howsoever realized to any liability or liabilities of such other Borrower or other Person regardless of what liability or liabilities of such other Borrower or other Person remain unpaid; and/or

(e) consent to or waive any breach of, or act, omission or default under, this Agreement or any of the instruments or agreements referred to herein, or otherwise, by any other Borrower or any other Person.

14.04 Reliance. It is not necessary for the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries or the officers, directors, members, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on its behalf, and any Obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall constitute the joint and several obligations of the Borrowers hereunder.

14.05 Contribution; Subrogation. No Borrower shall have any rights of contribution or subrogation with respect to any other Borrower as a result of payments made by it hereunder, in each case unless and until the Total Revolving Loan Commitment and all Letters of Credit have been terminated and all Obligations have been paid in full in cash (other than indemnities and expense reimbursement obligations which, in either case, are not then due and payable).

14.06 Waiver. Each Borrower waives any right to require the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lenders or the Lenders to (a) proceed against any other Borrower, any Guarantor or any other party, (b) proceed against or exhaust any security held from any Borrower, any Guarantor or any other party or (c) pursue any other remedy in the Administrative Agent’s, the Collateral Agent’s, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Lender’s or Lenders’ power whatsoever. Each Borrower waives any defense based on or arising out of suretyship or any impairment of security held from any Borrower, any Guarantor or any other party or on

147

or arising out of any defense of any other Borrower, any Guarantor or any other party other than payment in full in cash of the Obligations, including any defense based on or arising out of the disability of any other Borrower, any Guarantor or any other 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 Borrower, in each case other than as a result of the payment in full in cash of the Obligations.

SECTION 15. CONSENT TO MLP IPO; FERTILIZER ENTITIES; RELEASE.

15.01 Consent. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any of the Credit Documents to the contrary, the Agents and Lenders authorize and consent to the consummation of the MLP IPO and the MLP Formation Transactions (as defined in the New Notes Indenture).

15.02 Fertilizer Entities. It is acknowledged and agreed that the Permitted Fertilizer Event (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) has occurred and that in connection therewith (i) the Fertilizer Entities have been released from all of their rights and obligations under this Existing Credit Agreement, the credit documents executed in connection therewith, this Agreement and under each of the other Credit Documents and (ii) the Fertilizer Entities are no longer considered Subsidiaries of any Credit Party.

15.03 Release. If the Equity Interests of any Borrower or Guarantor shall be disposed of or otherwise cease to be owned by any Credit Party, in each case in any transaction permitted under this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the MLP IPO) and, contemporaneously therewith, either (x) in the case of any Borrower, all outstanding Loans incurred by, and Letters of Credit for the account of, such Borrower are repaid in full (in the case of Loans) and terminated (in the case of Letters of Credit) or (y) the remaining Borrowers or Guarantors, as applicable, shall expressly assume all Obligations of such Borrower or Guarantor, as applicable, under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, then, upon the consummation of the disposition, (a) such Borrower or Guarantor shall be released from all of its rights and obligations hereunder (including Section 16) and under each of the other Credit Documents to which such Borrower or Guarantor is a party, (b) such Borrower or Guarantor shall no longer be a party to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and (c) all Collateral owned by such Borrower or Guarantor shall be released from the Liens created under the Security Documents, in each case automatically and without any further action by any Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to the Company, at the Company’s expense, all documents that the Company shall reasonably request to evidence any of the foregoing.

SECTION 16. Guaranty.

16.01 Guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantors jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guaranty to Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Guaranteed Creditors the due and punctual payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations when the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 362(a)).

16.02 Contribution by Guarantors. All Guarantors desire to allocate among themselves (collectively, the “Contributing Guarantors”), in a fair and equitable manner, their obligations arising under this Guaranty. Accordingly, in the event any payment or

148

distribution is made on any date by a Guarantor (a “Funding Guarantor”) under this Guaranty such that its Aggregate Payments (as defined below) exceeds its Fair Share (as defined below) as of such date, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each of the other Contributing Guarantors in an amount sufficient to cause each Contributing Guarantor’s Aggregate Payments to equal its Fair Share as of such date. “Fair Share” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (a) the ratio of (i) the Fair Share Contribution Amount (as defined below) with respect to such Contributing Guarantor to (ii) the aggregate of the Fair Share Contribution Amounts with respect to all Contributing Guarantors multiplied by (b) the aggregate amount paid or distributed on or before such date by all Funding Guarantors under this Guaranty in respect of the obligations Guaranteed. “Fair Share Contribution Amount” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations of such Contributing Guarantor under this Guaranty that would not render its obligations hereunder or thereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable applicable provisions of state law; provided, solely for purposes of calculating the “Fair Share Contribution Amount” with respect to any Contributing Guarantor for purposes of this Section 16.02, any assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any rights to or obligations of contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor. “Aggregate Payments” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (1) the aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor in respect of this Guaranty (including in respect of this Section 16.02), minus (2) the aggregate amount of all payments received on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor from the other Contributing Guarantors as contributions under this Section 16.02. The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the applicable Funding Guarantor. The allocation among Contributing Guarantors of their obligations as set forth in this Section 16.02 shall not be construed in any way to limit the liability of any Contributing Guarantor hereunder. Each Guarantor is a third party beneficiary to the contribution agreement set forth in this Section 16.02.

16.03 Payment by Guarantors. The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree, in furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Guaranteed Creditor may have at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, that upon the failure of any Borrower to pay any of the Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code), the Guarantors will upon demand pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of Guaranteed Creditors, an amount equal to the sum of the unpaid principal amount of all Guaranteed Obligations then due as aforesaid, accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (including interest which, but for such Borrower’s becoming the subject of a case under the Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on such Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against such Borrower for such interest in the related bankruptcy case) and all other Guaranteed Obligations then owed to Guaranteed Creditors as aforesaid.

16.04 Liability of Guarantors Absolute. Each Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder are irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance which constitutes a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, each Guarantor agrees as follows:

(a) this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and not of collectability. This Guaranty is a primary obligation of each Guarantor and not merely a contract of surety;

149

(b) the Administrative Agent may enforce this Guaranty upon the occurrence of an Event of Default notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between any Credit Party or any of is Subsidiaries and any Guaranteed Creditor with respect to the existence of such Event of Default;

(c) the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of each Borrower and the obligations of any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the obligations of any Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against such Guarantor whether or not any action is brought against any Borrower or any of such other guarantors (including any other Guarantor) and whether or not any Borrower or other guarantor is joined in any such action or actions;

(d) payment by any Guarantor of a portion, but not all, of the Guaranteed Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge any Guarantor’s liability for any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which has not been paid. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent is awarded a judgment in any suit brought to enforce any Guarantor’s covenant to pay a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations, such judgment shall not be deemed to release such Guarantor from its covenant to pay the portion of the Guaranteed Obligations that is not the subject of such suit, and such judgment shall not, except to the extent satisfied by such Guarantor, limit, affect, modify or abridge any other Guarantor’s liability hereunder in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(e) any Guaranteed Creditor, upon such terms as it deems appropriate, without notice or demand and without affecting the validity or enforceability hereof or giving rise to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination of any Guarantor’s liability hereunder, from time to time may (i) renew, extend, accelerate, increase the rate of interest on, or otherwise change the time, place, manner or terms of payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) settle, compromise, release or discharge, or accept or refuse any offer of performance with respect to, or substitutions for, the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto and/or subordinate the payment of the same to the payment of any other obligations; (iii) request and accept other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations and take and hold security for the payment hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) release, surrender, exchange, substitute, compromise, settle, rescind, waive, alter, subordinate or modify, with or without consideration, any security for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, any other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other obligation of any Person (including any other Guarantor) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) enforce and apply any security now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of such Guaranteed Creditor in respect hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, or exercise any other right or remedy that such Guaranteed Creditor may have against any such security, in each case as such Guaranteed Creditor in its discretion may determine consistent herewith or the applicable Secured Hedging Agreement or Secured Cash Management Agreement and any applicable security agreement, including foreclosure on any such security pursuant to one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable, and even though such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Guarantor against any Borrower or any security for the Guaranteed Obligations; and (vi) exercise any other rights available to it under the Credit Documents, Secured Hedging Agreements or Secured Cash Management Agreements; and

(f) this Guaranty and the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination for any reason (other than payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with its terms), including the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not any Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (i) any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise

150

or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under the Credit Documents, Secured Hedging Agreements or Secured Cash Management Agreements, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including provisions relating to events of default) hereof, any of the other Credit Documents, any of the Secured Hedging Agreements or any of the Secured Cash Management Agreements or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any other guaranty or security for the Guaranteed Obligations, in each case whether or not in accordance with the terms hereof or such Credit Document, such Secured Hedging Agreement or such Secured Cash Management Agreement or any agreement relating to such other guaranty or security; (iii) the Guaranteed Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect; (iv) the application of payments received from any source (other than payments received pursuant to the other Credit Documents or any of the Commodity Agreements or from the proceeds of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, except to the extent such security also serves as collateral for indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations) to the payment of indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations, even though any Guaranteed Creditor might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; any Guaranteed Creditor’s consent to the change, reorganization or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any Credit Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries and to any corresponding restructuring of the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a security interest in any collateral which secures any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vi) any defenses, set offs or counterclaims which Company may allege or assert against any Guaranteed Creditor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury; (vii) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing, which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor as an obligor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations; and (viii) any law, regulation, decree or order of any jurisdiction adversely effecting the Guaranteed Obligations.

16.05 Waivers by Guarantors. Each Guarantor hereby waives, for the benefit of Guaranteed Creditors: (a) any right to require any Guaranteed Creditor, as a condition of payment or performance by such Guarantor, to (i) proceed against any Borrower, any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from any Borrower, any such other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) or any other Person, (iii) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Guaranteed Creditor in favor of any Borrower or any other Person, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the power of any Guaranteed Creditor whatsoever; (b) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of any Borrower or any Guarantor including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of any Borrower or any Guarantor from any cause other than payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with their terms; (c) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (d) any defense based upon any Guaranteed Creditor’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations; (e) (i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms hereof and any legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, (ii) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (iii) any rights to set offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (iv) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Guaranteed Creditor protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto; (f) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance hereof, notices of default hereunder, the Secured Hedging Agreements, the Secured Cash

151

Management Agreements or any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to any Borrower and notices of any of the matters referred to in Section 14.04 and any right to consent to any thereof; and (g) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms hereof.

16.06 Guarantors’ Rights of Subrogation, Contribution, etc. Until the Guaranteed Obligations (other than indemnities and expense reimbursement obligations which, in either case, are not then due and payable) shall have been paid in full in cash in accordance with their terms and the Total Revolving Loan Commitments shall have terminated and all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled, each Guarantor hereby waives any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against any Borrower or any other Guarantor or any of its assets in connection with this Guaranty or the performance by such Guarantor of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise and including (a) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against any Borrower with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, (b) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy that any Guaranteed Creditor now has or may hereafter have against any Borrower, and (c) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any collateral or security now or hereafter held by any Guaranteed Creditor. In addition, until the Guaranteed Obligations (other than indemnities and expense reimbursement obligations which, in either case, are not then due and payable) shall have been paid in full in cash in accordance with their terms and the Total Revolving Loan Commitments shall have terminated and all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled, each Guarantor shall withhold exercise of any right of contribution such Guarantor may have against any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations, including any such right of contribution as contemplated by Section 16.02. Each Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent the waiver or agreement to withhold the exercise of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification such Guarantor may have against any Borrower or against any collateral or security, and any rights of contribution such Guarantor may have against any such other guarantor (including any other Guarantor), shall be junior and subordinate to any rights any Guaranteed Creditor may have against any Borrower, to all right, title and interest any Guaranteed Creditor may have in any such collateral or security, and to any right any Guaranteed Creditor may have against such other guarantor (including any other Guarantor). If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of any such subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution rights at any time when all Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash in accordance with their terms, such amount shall be held in trust for the Administrative Agent on behalf of Guaranteed Creditors and shall forthwith be paid over to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of Guaranteed Creditors to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms hereof.

16.07 Subordination of Other Guaranteed Obligations. Any Indebtedness of any Borrower or any Guarantor now or hereafter held by any Guarantor (the “Obligee Guarantor”) is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the Guaranteed Obligations, and any such indebtedness collected or received by the Obligee Guarantor after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing shall be held in trust for the Administrative Agent on behalf of Guaranteed Creditors and shall forthwith be paid over to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of Guaranteed Creditors to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations but without affecting, impairing or limiting in any manner the liability of the Obligee Guarantor under any other provision hereof.

152

16.08 Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in effect until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full and the Total Revolving Loan Commitments shall have terminated and all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty as to future transactions giving rise to any Guaranteed Obligations.

16.09 Authority of Guarantors or the Borrowers. It is not necessary for any Guaranteed Creditor to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Guarantor or any Borrower or the officers, directors or any agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any of them. The Guarantors hereby authorize the Borrowers to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement and agree to be bounds by the provisions thereof to the same extent as the Borrowers.

16.10 Financial Condition of Company. Any Credit Event may be made to, or for the benefit of, any Borrower or continued from time to time, and any Secured Hedging Agreements or any Secured Cash Management Agreements may be entered into from time to time, in each case without notice to or authorization from any Guarantor regardless of the financial or other condition of such Borrower at the time of any such grant or continuation or at the time such Secured Hedging Agreement or Secured Cash Management Agreement is entered into, as the case may be. No Guaranteed Creditor shall have any obligation to disclose to or discuss with any Guarantor its assessment, or any Guarantor’s assessment, of the financial condition of any Borrower. Each Guarantor has adequate means to obtain information from the Borrowers on a continuing basis concerning the financial condition of the Borrowers and their ability to perform its obligations under the Credit Documents, the Secured Hedging Agreements and Secured Cash Management Agreements, and each Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of the Borrowers and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of any Guaranteed Creditor to disclose any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, operations or conditions of the Borrowers now known or hereafter known by any Guaranteed Creditor.

16.11 Bankruptcy, etc.

(a) Without limiting any Guarantor’s ability to file a voluntary bankruptcy petition in respect of itself, so long as any Guaranteed Obligations remain outstanding, no Guarantor shall, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent acting pursuant to the instructions of Required Lenders, commence or join with any other Person in commencing any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency case or proceeding of or against any Borrower or any other Guarantor. The obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, deferred, suspended or terminated by any case or proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of any Borrower or any Guarantor or by any defense which any Borrower or any Guarantor may have by reason of the order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding.

(b) Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which accrues after the commencement of any case or proceeding referred to in clause (a) above (or, if interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of the commencement of such case or proceeding, such interest as would have accrued on such portion of the Guaranteed Obligations if such case or proceeding had not been commenced) shall be included in the Guaranteed Obligations because it is the intention of the Guarantors and the Guaranteed Creditors that the Guaranteed Obligations which are guaranteed by the Guarantors pursuant hereto should be determined without regard to any rule of law or order which may relieve any Borrower of any portion of such Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantors will permit any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor in possession, assignee

153

for the benefit of creditors or similar person to pay the Administrative Agent, or allow the claim of Administrative Agent in respect of, any such interest accruing after the date on which such case or proceeding is commenced.

(c) In the event that all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid by any Borrower, the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall continue and remain in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, in the event that all or any part of such payment(s) are rescinded or recovered directly or indirectly from any Guaranteed Creditor as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise, and any such payments which are so rescinded or recovered shall constitute Guaranteed Obligations for all purposes hereunder.

16.12 Discharge of Guaranty Upon Sale of Guarantor. If all of the Equity Interests of any Guarantor or any of its successors in interest hereunder shall be sold or otherwise disposed of (including by merger or consolidation) in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Guaranty of such Guarantor or such successor in interest, as the case may be, hereunder shall automatically be discharged and released without any further action by any Guaranteed Creditor or any other Person effective as of the time of such sale or other disposition.

16.13 Additional Guarantors. It is understood and agreed that any Subsidiary of any Credit Party that is required (or desires) to become a Guarantor hereunder shall do so by (i) executing a Joinder Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit M and delivering same to the Administrative Agent, and (ii) taking all actions as specified in this Agreement as would have been taken by such Guarantor had it been an original party to this Agreement, in each case with all documents and actions required to be taken above to be taken to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent.

On and after the date of this Agreement, all such liens and security interests shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and in all respects subject to the terms herein or therein, as applicable.

17.02 Existing Loan Documents. Each of the Existing Credit Parties hereby acknowledges, confirms and agrees that: (a) the Existing Indebtedness Documents have been duly executed and delivered by such Existing Credit Parties and are in full force and effect as of the date hereof, (b) the agreements and obligations of such Existing Loan Parties contained in the Existing Indebtedness Documents constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of each

154

of the Existing Credit Parties, as the case may be, enforceable against such Existing Loan Party, in accordance with their respective terms and no Existing Credit Party has a valid defense to the enforcement of such obligations, (c) Agent and Lenders are entitled to all of the rights and remedies provided for in or arising pursuant to the Existing Indebtedness Documents except to the extent that such Existing Indebtedness Documents have been amended and restated hereby, and (d) no action or omission by any Existing Loan Party in respect of the Existing Indebtedness Documents prior to the date hereof and no representation and warranty deemed made in respect of such Existing Credit Agreement pursuant to any request for Loans or Letters of Credit under the Existing Credit Agreement by any of the Existing Credit Parties prior to the date hereof shall be deemed the basis for any Default or Event of Default or the exercise of any remedies under this Agreement after the date hereof.

17.03 Restatement.

(a) As of the date hereof, the terms, conditions, agreements, covenants, representations and warranties set forth in the Existing Credit Agreement are hereby amended and restated in their entirety, and (i) as so amended and restated, replaced and superseded, by the terms, conditions, agreements, covenants, representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, except that nothing herein or in the other Credit Documents shall impair or adversely affect the continuation of the liability of Borrowers and Guarantors for the Loans and the Letters of Credit and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and fees, costs, expenses and other charges with respect thereto (as amended and restated hereby and which are in all respects hereinafter subject to the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents) and the security interests, liens, and other interests in the Collateral heretofore granted, pledged and/or assigned by Borrowers or Guarantors to Agent or any Lender (whether directly, indirectly or otherwise) (as amended and restated hereby and which are in all respects subject to the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents), and (ii) no action or omission by any Existing Credit Party in respect of the Existing Indebtedness Documents prior to the date hereof and no representation and warranty deemed made in respect of such Existing Loan Agreement pursuant to any request for Loans or Letters of Credit under the Existing Credit Agreement by any of the Existing Loan Parties prior to the date hereof shall be deemed the basis for any Default or Event of Default or the exercise of any remedies under this Agreement after the date hereof.

(b) The amendment and restatement contained herein shall not, in any manner, be construed to constitute payment of, or impair, limit, cancel or extinguish, or constitute a novation in respect of, the Loans, the Letters of Credit and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and fees with respect thereto, and the liens and security interests securing such obligations and liabilities, which shall not in any manner be impaired, limited, terminated, waived or released, but shall continue in full force and effect in favor of Agent, for itself and the benefit of Lenders (as amended and restated hereby and which are in all respects subject to the terms of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents).

(c) All of the Loans, the Letters of Credit and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and fees with respect thereto under the Existing Agreements shall be deemed Obligations of Borrowers and Guarantors pursuant to and expressly subject to the terms hereof. The principal amount of the Loans and the amount of the Letters of Credit outstanding as of the date hereof under the Existing Indebtedness Documents shall be allocated to the Loans and Letters of Credit hereunder in such manner and in such amounts as Agent shall determine in accordance with the terms hereof.

ANNEX A

EXHIBIT E

Section 1.01. Subordination of Liabilities. [Applicable Credit Party], (the “Pavor”), for itself, its successors and assigns, covenants and agrees, and each holder of the Note to which this Annex A is attached (the “Note”) by its acceptance thereof likewise covenants and agrees, that the payment of the principal of, interest on, and all other amounts owing in respect of, the Note (the “Subordinated Indebtedness”) is hereby expressly subordinated, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, to the prior payment in full in cash of all Senior Indebtedness (as defined in Section 1.07 of this Annex A). The provisions of this Annex A shall constitute a continuing offer to all persons and other entities who, in reliance upon such provisions, become holders of, or continue to hold, Senior Indebtedness, and such provisions are made for the benefit of the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and such holders are hereby made obligees hereunder the same as if their names were written herein as such, and they and/or each of them may proceed to enforce such provisions.

Section 1.02. The Pavor Not to Make Payments with Respect to Subordinated Indebtedness in Certain Circumstances. (a) Upon the maturity of any Senior Indebtedness (including interest thereon or fees or any other amounts owing in respect thereof), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, all Obligations (as defined in Section 1.07 of this Annex A) due and owing in respect thereof shall first be paid in full in cash, before any payment of any kind or character (whether in cash, property, securities or otherwise) is made on account of the Subordinated Indebtedness.

(b) Until all Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full in cash and all commitments and letters of credit in respect of such Senior Indebtedness have been terminated (or arrangements with respect to the letters of credit that are satisfactory to the issuers of such letters of credit have been made), the sum of all payments in respect of the Note (including principal and interest), together with the sum of (i) all payments made under all other Shareholder Subordinated Notes and (ii) all payments made by the Payor and any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates to repurchase stock of the Payor or MLP held by employees of the Payor and any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall not exceed at any time that amount permitted to be paid by the Payor and any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates for such purpose by the terms of the respective issue of Senior Indebtedness.

(c) The Payor may not, directly or indirectly (and no other person or other entity on behalf of the Payor may), make any payment of any Subordinated Indebtedness and may not acquire any Subordinated Indebtedness for cash, property or securities until all Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full in cash and all commitments and letters of credit in respect of such Senior Indebtedness have been terminated (or arrangements with respect to the letters of credit that are satisfactory to the issuers of such letters of credit have been made) if any default or event of default under the Credit Agreement (as defined in Section 1.07 of this Annex A) or any other issue of Senior Indebtedness is then in existence or would result therefrom. Each holder of the Note hereby agrees that, so long as any such default or event of default in respect of any issue of Senior Indebtedness exists, it will not xxx for, or otherwise take any action to enforce the Payor’s obligations to pay, amounts owing in respect of the Note. Each holder of the Note understands and agrees that to the extent that this clause (c) prohibits any payment, or clause (b) of this Section 1.02 reduces the payment of, interest and/or principal which would otherwise be payable under the Note but for the limitations set forth in this clause (c) or such clause (b), such unpaid amount shall not constitute a payment default under the Note and the holder of the Note may not xxx for, or otherwise take action to enforce the Payor’s obligation to pay such amount, provided that such unpaid principal or interest shall remain an obligation of the Payor to the holder of the Note pursuant to the terms of the Note.

(d) In the event that, notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding subsections (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 1.02, the Payor shall make (or the holder of the Note shall receive) any payment on account of the Subordinated Indebtedness at a time when payment is not permitted by said subsection (a), (b) or (c), such payment shall be held by the holder of the Note, in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid forthwith over and delivered to, the holders of Senior Indebtedness or their representative or the trustee under the indenture or other agreement pursuant to which any instruments evidencing any Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, for application p rata to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Indebtedness in full in cash in accordance with the terms of such Senior Indebtedness, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of Senior Indebtedness. Without in any way modifying the provisions of this Annex A or affecting the subordination effected hereby if the hereafter referenced notice is not given, the Payor shall give the holder of the Note prompt written notice of any event which would prevent payments under Section 1.02(a), (b) or (c) hereof.

Upon any distribution of assets of the Payor upon dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of the Payor (whether in bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise):

(a) the holders of all Senior Indebtedness shall first be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of all Senior Indebtedness (including, without limitation, post-petition interest at the rate (including the default rate) provided in the documentation with respect to the Senior Indebtedness, whether or not such post-petition interest is an allowed claim against the debtor in any bankruptcy or similar proceeding) before the holder of the Note is entitled to receive any payment of any kind or character on account of the Subordinated Indebtedness;

(b) any payment or distribution of assets of the Payor of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which the holder of the Note would be entitled except for the provisions of this Annex A, shall be paid by the liquidating trustee or agent or other person making such payment or distribution, whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver or liquidating trustee or other trustee or agent, directly to the holders of Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instruments evidencing any such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, to the extent necessary to make payment in full in cash of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness; and

(c) in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.03, any payment or distribution of assets of the Payor of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, shall be received by the holder of the Note on account of Subordinated Indebtedness before all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full in cash, such payment or distribution shall be received and held in trust for and shall be paid over to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid or their representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instruments evidencing any of such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, for application to the payment of such Senior Indebtedness until all such Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full in cash, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness.

If the holder of the Note does not file a proper claim or proof of debt in the form required in any proceeding or other action referred to in the introduction paragraph of this Section 1.03 prior to 30 days before the expiration of the time to file such claim or claims, then any of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness or their representative is hereby authorized to file an appropriate claim for and on behalf of the holder of the Note.

Without in any way modifying the provisions of this Annex A or affecting the subordination effected hereby if the hereafter referenced notice is not given, the Payor shall give prompt written notice to the holder of the Note of any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of the Payor (whether in bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership proceedings or upon assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise).

Section 1.04. Subrogation.

Section 1.05. Obligation of the Payor Unconditional. Nothing contained in this Annex A or in the Note is intended to or shall impair, as between the Payor and the holder of the Note, the obligation of the Payor, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the holder of the Note the principal of and interest on the Note as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the holder of the Note and creditors of the Payor other than the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, nor, except as specifically provided herein, shall anything herein or therein prevent the holder of the Note from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon an event of default under the Note, subject to the rights, if any, under this Annex A of the holders of Senior Indebtedness in respect of cash, property or securities of the Payor received upon the exercise of any such remedy. Upon any distribution of assets of the Payor referred to in this Annex A, the holder of the Note shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization proceedings are pending, or a certificate of the liquidating trustee or agent or other person making any distribution to the holder of the Note, for the purpose of ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Payor, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Annex A.

Section 1.06. Subordination Rights Not Impaired by Acts or Omissions of Company or Holders of Senior Indebtedness. No right of any present or future holders of any Senior Indebtedness to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Payor or by any act or failure to act by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Payor with the terms and provisions of the Note, regardless of any knowledge thereof which any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with. The holders of the Senior Indebtedness may, without in any way affecting the obligations of the holder of the Note with respect hereto, at any time or from time to time and in their absolute discretion, change the manner, place or terms of payment of, change or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, any Senior Indebtedness or amend, modify or supplement any agreement or instrument governing or evidencing such Senior Indebtedness or any other document referred to therein, or exercise or refrain from exercising any other of their rights under the Senior Indebtedness including, without limitation, the waiver of default thereunder and the release of any collateral securing such Senior Indebtedness, all without notice to or assent from the holder of the Note.

Each Payor for itself, its successors and assigns, covenants and agrees, and each Payee of the promissory note to which this Annex A is attached (the “Note”) by its acceptance thereof likewise covenants and agrees, that the payment of the principal of, and interest on, and all other amounts owing in respect of, the Note (the “Subordinated Indebtedness”) is hereby expressly subordinated, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, to the prior payment in full in cash of all Senior Indebtedness (as defined in Section 1.07 of this Annex A). The provisions of this Annex A shall constitute a continuing offer to all Persons or other entities who, in reliance upon such provisions, become holders of, or continue to hold, Senior Indebtedness, and such provisions are made for the benefit of the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and such holders are hereby made obligees hereunder the same as if their names were written herein as such, and they and/or each of them may proceed to enforce such provisions.

Section 1.02. Pavor Not to Make Payments with Respect to Note in Certain Circumstances. (a) Upon the maturity of any Senior Indebtedness (including, without limitation, interest thereon or fees or any other amounts owing in respect thereof), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, all Obligations (as defined in Section 1.07 of this Annex A) due and owing in respect thereof shall first be paid in full in cash before any payment of any kind or character (whether in cash, property, securities or otherwise) is made on account of the Subordinated Indebtedness. Each Payor may not, directly or indirectly (and no Person or other entity on behalf of such Payor may), make any payment of any Subordinated Indebtedness and may not acquire any Subordinated Indebtedness for cash, property or securities until all Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full in cash if any Default or Event of Default (each as defined below) is then in existence or would result therefrom. Each Payee hereby agrees that, so long as any Default or Event of Default in respect of any Senior Indebtedness exists, it will not ask, demand, xxx for, or otherwise take, accept or receive, any amounts owing in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness. As used herein, the terms “Default” and “Event of Default” shall mean any Default or Event of Default respectively, under and as defined in, the relevant documentation governing any Senior Indebtedness and in any event shall include any payment default with respect to any Senior Indebtedness.

(b) In the event that, notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding subsection (a) of this Section 1.02, any payment shall be made on account of Subordinated Indebtedness at a time when payment is not permitted by the terms of the Note or by said subsection (a), such payment shall be held by such Payee, in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid forthwith over and delivered to, the holders of Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives under the agreements pursuant to which the Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, for application pro rata to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Indebtedness in full in cash in accordance with the terms of such Senior Indebtedness, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of Senior Indebtedness. Without in any way modifying the provisions of this Annex A or affecting the subordination effected hereby if such notice is not given, each Payor shall give such Payee prompt written notice of any maturity of Senior Indebtedness after which such Senior Indebtedness remains unsatisfied.

Section 1.03. Note Subordinated to Prior Payment of All Senior Indebtedness on Dissolution, Liquidation or Reorganization of any Payor. Upon any distribution of assets of any Payor upon any total or partial dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of such Payor (whether in bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors, marshalling of assets or otherwise and whether voluntary or involuntary):

(a) the holders of all Senior Indebtedness shall first be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of all Senior Indebtedness (including, without limitation, post- petition interest at the rate provided in the documentation with respect to the Senior Indebtedness, whether or not such post-petition interest is an allowed claim against the debtor in any bankruptcy or similar proceeding) before any Payee is entitled to receive any payment of any kind or character on account of Subordinated Indebtedness;

(b) any payment or distribution of assets of such Payor of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which such Payee would be entitled except for the provisions of this Annex A, shall be paid by the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making such payment or distribution, whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver or liquidating trustee or other trustee or agent, directly to the holders of Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives under the agreements pursuant to which the Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, to the extent necessary to make payment in full in cash of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness; and

(c) in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.03, any payment or distribution of assets of such Payor of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, shall be received by any Payee on account of the Subordinated Indebtedness before all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full in cash, such payment or distribution shall be received and held in trust for and shall forthwith be paid over to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid or their representative or representatives under the agreements pursuant to which the Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, for application to the payment of such Senior Indebtedness until all such Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full in cash, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness.

To the extent any payment of Senior Indebtedness (whether by or on behalf of any Payor, as proceeds of security or enforcement of any right of setoff or otherwise) is declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be paid to any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other similar person under any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, fraudulent conveyance or similar law, then, if such payment is recovered by, or paid over to, such receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other similar Person, the Senior Indebtedness or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be deemed to be reinstated and outstanding as if such payment has not occurred.

If any Payee does not file a proper claim or proof of debt in the form required in any proceeding or other action referred to in the introduction paragraph of this Section 1.03 prior to 30 days before the expiration of the time to file such claim or claims, then any of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness or their representative is hereby authorized to file an appropriate claim for and on behalf of such Payee.

Without in any way modifying the provisions of this Annex A or affecting the subordination effected hereby if such notice is not given, each Payor shall give prompt written notice to the Payee of any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of such Payor (whether in bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership proceedings or upon assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise).

Section 1.04. Subrogation. Subject to the prior payment in full in cash of all Senior Indebtedness, each Payee shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of assets of any Payor applicable to the Senior Indebtedness until all

amounts owing on the Note shall be paid in full, and for the purpose of such subrogation no payments or distributions to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness by or on behalf of such Payor or by or on behalf of such Payor by virtue of this Annex A which otherwise would have been made to such Payee shall, as between such Payor, its creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and the Payee, be deemed to be payment by such Payor to or on account of the Senior Indebtedness, it being understood that the provisions of this Annex A are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of each Payee, on the one hand, and the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, on the other hand.

Section 1.05. Obligation of each Payor Unconditional. Nothing contained in this Annex A or in the Note is intended to or shall impair, as between any Payor and any Payee, the obligation of such Payor, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Payee the principal of and interest on the Note as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of Payee and creditors of such Payor, other than the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, nor shall anything herein or therein, except as expressly provided herein, prevent the holder of the Note from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law, subject to the rights, if any, under this Annex A of the holders of Senior Indebtedness in respect of cash, property, or securities of any Payor received upon the exercise of any such remedy. Upon any distribution of assets of any Payor referred to in this Annex A, the Payee shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization proceedings are pending, or a certificate of the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making any distribution to Payee, for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of such Payor, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Annex A.

Section 1.06. Subordination Rights Not Impaired by Acts or Omissions of any Pavor or Holders of Senior Indebtedness. No right of any present or future holders of any Senior Indebtedness to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of any Payor or by any act or failure to act by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by any Payor with the terms and provisions of the Note, regardless of any knowledge thereof which any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with. The holders of the Senior Indebtedness may, without in any way affecting the obligations of the Payee with respect thereto, at any time or from time to time and in their absolute discretion, change the manner, place or terms of payment of, change or extend the time of payment of, or renew, or alter or increase the amount of, any Senior Indebtedness, or amend, modify or supplement any agreement or instrument governing or evidencing such Senior Indebtedness or any other document referred to therein, or exercise or refrain from exercising any other of their rights under the Senior Indebtedness including, without limitation, the waiver of default thereunder and the release of any collateral securing such Senior Indebtedness, all without notice to or assent from the Payee.

Section 1.07. Senior Indebtedness. The term “Senior Indebtedness” shall mean all Obligations of the Payor under, or in respect of, (i) the Credit Agreement and each other Credit Document (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to which the Payor is a party, and any renewal, extension, restatement, refinancing or refunding of any thereof, (ii) each Secured Hedging Agreement (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and (iii) each Secured Cash Management Agreement (as defined in the Credit Agreement). As used herein, the term “Obligation” shall mean all principal, interest, premium, reimbursement obligations, penalties, fees, expenses, indemnities and other liabilities and obligations (including, without limitation, any guaranties of the foregoing liabilities and obligations) payable under the documentation governing any indebtedness (including, without limitation, any interest accruing after the commencement of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding at the rate provided in the documentation with respect thereto, whether or not such interest is an allowed claim against the debtor in any such proceeding).

Section 1.08. Miscellaneous. If, at any time, all or part of any payment with respect to Senior Indebtedness theretofore made by the Payor or any other Person or entity is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the holders of Senior Indebtedness for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Payor or such other Person or entity), the subordination provisions set forth herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, all as though such payment had not been made.

FORM OF LANDLORD WAIVER AND CONSENT AGREEMENT

This LANDLORD WAIVER AND CONSENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is dated as of and entered into by [NAME OF LANDLORD] (“Landlord”) to and for the benefit of XXXXX FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (“WFB”), as Collateral Agent for the Secured Parties (as defined below) (in such capacity and together with any successor thereto, the “Collateral Agent”). Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized used herein and defined in the Credit Agreement referred to below shall be used herein as therein defined.

RECITALS:

WHEREAS, Landlord is the record title holder and owner of certain real property located at [ADDRESS OF PROPERTY] (the “Real Property”).

WHEREAS, [NAME OF TENANT], a [STATE OF INCORPORATION / FORMATION] (“Tenant”), has possession of and occupies all or a portion of the Real Property (the “Premises”);

WHEREAS, Tenant’s interest in the Premises arises under the lease agreement (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Lease”) more particularly described on Exhibit A annexed hereto, to which Landlord and Tenant are a party;

WHEREAS, reference is made to that certain Amended and Restated ABL Credit Agreement, dated as of December 20, 2012 (as it may be amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) among Tenant, various affiliates of Tenant, the lenders party thereto from time to time (the “Lenders”) WFB, as Collateral Agent and as administrative agent (together with any successor administrative agent, the “Administrative Agent” and, together with the Collateral Agent, each Issuing Lender and each Lender, the “Lender Creditors”) pursuant to which Tenant has executed a security agreement, mortgages, deeds of trust, deeds to secure debt and assignments of rents and leases, and other collateral documents in relation to the Credit Agreement, the Secured Hedging Agreements and the Secured Cash Management Agreements,

WHEREAS, the Borrowers or one or more of their respective Subsidiaries have entered into, or may from time to time after the date hereof enter into, one or more Secured Hedging Agreements with one or more Secured Hedging Creditors;

WHEREAS, the Borrowers or one or more of their respective Subsidiaries have entered into, or may from time to time after the date hereof enter into, one or more Secured Cash Management Agreements with one or more Secured Cash Management Creditors (together with the Lender Creditors and the Secured Hedging Creditors, the “Secured Parties”).

WHEREAS, Tenant’s repayment of (or guaranty of) the extensions of credit made by the Secured Parties under the Credit Agreement, the Secured Hedging Agreements and the Secured Cash Management Agreements will be secured, in part, by all of the following now or hereafter located on the Premises, (i) inventory of Tenant, (ii) all equipment used in Tenant’s business, (iii) all leasehold improvements of Tenant, and (iv) all furniture and all other personal property (the “Collateral”). and

WHEREAS, the Collateral Agent has requested that Landlord execute this Agreement as a requirement under the Credit Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord hereby represents and warrants to, and covenants and agrees with, the Collateral Agent as follows:

1. Landlord Lien. (a) Landlord hereby (i) waives and releases unto the Collateral Agent and its successors and assigns any and all security interests created by statute, contract (including the

Lease) or by common law and any and all rights granted by or under any present or future laws to levy or distraint for rent or any other charges which may be due to Landlord against the Collateral, and any and all other claims, liens and demands of every kind which it now has or may hereafter have against the Collateral (including, without limitation, any right to include the Collateral in any secured financing that Landlord may become a party to), and (ii) agrees that any rights it may have in or to the Collateral, no matter how arising (to the extent not effectively waived pursuant to clause (a)(i) of this paragraph I), shall be subordinate to the rights of the Collateral Agent in respect thereof. Landlord acknowledges that the Collateral is and will remain personal property and not fixtures or part of the underlying real estate even though it may be affixed to or placed on the Premises.

(b) Landlord further agrees not to assert any claim to the Collateral while Tenant is indebted under (or in respect of) the Credit Agreement, any Secured Hedging Agreement or any Secured Cash Management Agreement. Landlord acknowledges that the Collateral Agent shall have a first priority security interest in the Collateral and that the Collateral Agent shall have the right to file and record Uniform Commercial Code financing statements against the Collateral.

2. Nature of Collateral. The Collateral may be installed in or located on the Premises and is not and shall not be deemed to be a fixture or part of the underlying real estate but shall at all times be considered personal property.

3. Status of Lease. Landlord certifies that (a) Landlord is the landlord under the Lease, (b) the Lease is in full force and effect and has not been amended, modified, or supplemented except as set forth on Exhibit B annexed hereto, (c) to the knowledge of Landlord, there is no defense, offset, claim or counterclaim by or in favor of Landlord against Tenant under the Lease or against the obligations of Landlord under the Lease, (d) no notice of default has been given under or in connection with the Lease which has not been cured, and Landlord has no knowledge of the occurrence of any other default under or in connection with the Lease and (e) except as disclosed to Collateral Agent, no portion of the Premises is encumbered in any way by any deed of trust or mortgage lien or ground or superior lease.

4. Collateral Agent’s Access. (a) Landlord agrees that while the Lease is in effect (including during any extension or renewal periods) it will not prevent the Collateral Agent or its designees from entering upon the Premises at all reasonable times to inspect, appraise or remove the Collateral.

(b) In the event that Landlord either deems itself entitled to redeem or take possession of the Premises during the term of the Lease or intends to terminate the Lease prior to the expiration of the term thereof due to a default of Tenant thereunder, Landlord will deliver notice (the “Termination Notice”) to the Collateral Agent to that effect not less than twenty (20) days before taking such action. Landlord agrees that within the 90-day period after the Collateral Agent receives the Termination Notice (the “Disposition Period”) the Collateral Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to enter upon and into the Premises for the purpose of assembling, repossessing, appraising, displaying, removing, preparing for sale or lease, repairing, transferring, selling (at public or private sale) or otherwise dealing with the Collateral. Landlord further agrees that during the Disposition Period, Landlord will not interfere with the Collateral Agent’s actions in removing the Collateral from the Premises or such other of the Collateral Agent’s actions in otherwise enforcing its security interest in the Collateral. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, Landlord acknowledges that the Collateral Agent shall at no time have any obligation to remove the Collateral from the Premises. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any diminution in value of the Premises caused by the absence of the Collateral actually removed or by the need to replace the Collateral after such removal. For the actual period of occupancy by Collateral Agent during the Disposition Period, the Collateral Agent will pay to Landlord a fee equal to the basic rent required to be paid under the Lease by tenant as if the Lease were in full force and effect, pro rated on a per diem basis based on a 30 day month, to the extent that such amount is not paid by Tenant.

(c) In entering upon or into the Premises under either clause (a) or (b) set forth above of this paragraph 4, the Collateral Agent hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims, judgments, liabilities, costs and expenses incurred by Landlord and caused solely by the Collateral Agent entering upon or into the Premises and taking any of the foregoing actions with respect to the Collateral. Such costs shall include any damage to the Premises made by the Collateral Agent in severing and/or removing the Collateral therefrom and taking any of the foregoing actions with respect to the Collateral. Additionally, the Collateral Agent shall repair, at its sole cost and expense, any physical damage to the Premises actually caused by the Collateral Agent’s taking any of the foregoing actions with respect to the Collateral.

5. Default Notices. Landlord shall send to the Collateral Agent a copy of any notice of default under the Lease sent by Landlord to Tenant (the “Default Notice”). Any Default Notice shall state the nature of the default and shall specify the amounts of rent or other payments provided for that are claimed to be in default.

6. Default and Cure Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, and without thereby assuming Tenant’s obligations under the Lease, in the event of a default by Tenant under the Lease, the Collateral Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure any such default(s) within the later of (a) thirty (30) days following receipt of a Default Notice, and (b) the last day of the cure period available to Tenant under the terms of the Lease (except with respect to payment default(s), which cure must be made within the later of (i) fifteen (15) days following receipt of a Default Notice, and (ii) the last day of the cure period available to Tenant under the terms of the Lease with respect to payment default(s)); provided, however, that if a non-monetary default cannot reasonably be cured by the Collateral Agent within such thirty (30) day period, the Collateral Agent shall have such additional period of time as shall be reasonably necessary (at Landlord’s reasonable discretion) to cure such non- monetary default so long as the Collateral Agent commences such curative measures within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter proceeds diligently to complete such curative measures.

7. Estoppel Certificate. Within fifteen (15) days after written request therefor from the Collateral Agent, but no more frequently than two (2) times per any twelve (12) month period, Landlord shall deliver to such Collateral Agent (and any other party identified by the Collateral Agent) an estoppel certificate signed by Landlord in form reasonably designated by the Collateral Agent that certifies as to: (a) the rent payable under the Lease; (b) the term of the Lease and the rights of Tenant, if any, to extend the term of the Lease; (c) the nature of any defaults by Tenant alleged by Landlord; and (d) any other matters reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent.

8. Delivery of Notices. All notices to the Collateral Agent under this Agreement shall be in writing and sent to the Collateral Agent by telefacsimile, by United States certified mail, return receipt requested, or by overnight delivery service at the address set forth on the signature page to this Agreement.

9. Expiration of Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement shall continue in effect until the earlier of (a) the date on which the Lease would otherwise terminate absent a Tenant default, and (b) Landlord shall have received the Collateral Agent’s written certification that all amounts advanced under the Credit Agreement and all obligations thereunder and under all Secured Hedging Agreements and Secured Cash Management Agreements entered into with any Secured Party have been paid in full.

10. Governing Law. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be governed by, and shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State in which the Premises are located, without regard to conflicts of laws principles.

11. Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successor and assigns of Landlord (including any successor owner of the Real Property) and the Collateral Agent. Landlord will disclose the terms and conditions of this Agreement to any purchaser or successor to Landlord’s interest in the Premises.

12. Amendments. This Agreement may not be changed or terminated orally and is binding upon, and inures to the benefit of, the parties hereto and each of their respective successors and assigns. Landlord will disclose the terms and provisions of this Agreement to any purchaser or successor to Landlord’s interest in the Premises.

13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but together the counterparts shall constitute one and the same document.

14. Credit Agreement, Secured Hedging Agreements and Secured Cash Management Agreements. The Secured Parties may, without in any way affecting or limiting this Agreement, and without notice to Landlord, modify, supplement, restate (in whole or in part) or refinance the Credit Agreement, any Secured Hedging Agreement or any Secured Cash Management Agreement.

[Remainder of page intentionally left blank]

Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, on the Incremental Commitment Date, (i) the representations and warranties contained in the Credit Agreement and in the other Credit Documents are true and correct in all material respects with the same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on the Incremental Commitment Date, both before and after giving effect to the Credit Event to occur on the Incremental Commitment Date and the application of the proceeds thereof, unless stated to relate to a specific earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties were true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date (it being understood that any representation or warranty that is qualified as to “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” or similar language shall be true and correct in all respects on any such date), and (ii) no Default or Event of Default exists or would exist after giving effect to the Credit Event or the application of proceeds therefrom.
