Each Revolving Credit Loan by a Lender shall be in a principal amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans requested on such occasion. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow Revolving Credit Loans hereunder from the Closing Date until the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

SECTION 2.2 Swingline Loans.

(a) Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans to the Borrowers from time to time from the Closing Date through, but not including, the Swingline Termination Date; provided, that the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Swingline Loans (after giving effect to any amount requested), shall not exceed the least of (i) the Revolving Credit Commitment less the sum of all other outstanding Aggregate Revolving Credit Obligations, (ii) the Borrowing Base less the sum of all other outstanding Aggregate Revolving Credit Obligations, and (iii) the Swingline Commitment.

(b) Refunding.

(i) Swingline Loans shall be refunded by the Lenders on demand by the Swingline Lender, which demand shall be made no less frequently than weekly. Such refundings shall be made by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages and shall thereafter be reflected as Revolving Credit Loans of the Lenders on the books and records of the Administrative Agent. Each Lender shall fund its respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of Revolving Credit Loans as required to repay Swingline Loans outstanding to the Swingline Lender upon demand by the Swingline Lender but in no event later than 12:00 p.m. on the next succeeding Business Day after such demand is made. No Lender’s obligation to fund its respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of a Swingline Loan shall be affected by any other Lender’s failure to fund its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of a Swingline Loan, nor shall any Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage be increased as a result of any such failure of any other Lender to fund its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of a Swingline Loan. Each Revolving Credit Loan made in accordance with this Section 2.2(b) shall bear interest as a Base Rate Loan commencing on the date of the refunding of the Swingline Loan to which such Revolving Credit Loan relates.

(ii) The Borrowers shall pay to the Swingline Lender on demand the amount of such Swingline Loans to the extent amounts received from the Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full the outstanding Swingline Loans requested or required to be refunded. In addition, if the Borrowers have not repaid such outstanding Swingline Loans within one (1) Business Day of such demand by the Swingline Lender, each Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to charge any account maintained by any Borrower with the Swingline Lender (up to the amount available therein) in order to immediately pay the Swingline Lender the amount of such Swingline Loans to the extent amounts received from the Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full the outstanding Swingline Loans requested or required to be refunded. If any portion of any such amount paid to the Swingline Lender shall be recovered by or on behalf of any Borrower from the Swingline Lender in bankruptcy or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered shall be ratably shared among all the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages (unless the amounts so recovered by or on behalf of such Borrower pertain to a Swingline Loan extended after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default of which the Administrative Agent has received notice in the manner required pursuant to Section 14.5 and which such Event of Default has not been waived by the Required Lenders or the Lenders, as applicable).

(iii) Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to refund Swingline Loans in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.2(b) is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including non-satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article 7. Further, each Lender agrees and acknowledges that, if prior to the refunding of any outstanding Swingline Loans pursuant to this Section 2.2, one of the events described in Section 13.1(j) or (k) shall have occurred, each Lender will, on the date the applicable Revolving Credit Loan would have been made, be deemed to have purchased an undivided participating interest in the Swingline Loan to be refunded in an amount equal to its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the aggregate amount of such Swingline Loan. Each Lender will immediately transfer to the Swingline Lender, in immediately available funds, the amount of its participation and upon receipt thereof the Swingline Lender will deliver to such Lender a certificate evidencing such participation dated the date of receipt of such funds and for such amount. Whenever, at any time after the Swingline Lender has received from any Lender such Lender’s participating interest in a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account thereof, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Lender its participating interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded).

(c) Overadvances; Optional Overadvances. If at any time the amount of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Obligations exceeds the Revolving Credit Commitment, the Borrowing Base or any other applicable limitation set forth in this Agreement (including the limitations on Swingline Loans, Agent Advances and Letters of Credit), such excess (an “Overadvance”) shall nevertheless constitute a portion of the Obligations that are secured by the Collateral and are entitled to all benefits thereof. In no event, however, shall the Borrowers have any right whatsoever to (i) receive any Revolving Credit Loan, (ii) receive any Swingline Loan, or (iii) request the issuance of any Letter of Credit if, before or after giving effect thereto, there shall exist a Default or Event of Default. Notwithstanding any other contrary provision of this Agreement, including Section 7.2, the Lenders hereby authorize the Swingline Lender, at the direction of the Administrative Agent in the Administrative Agent’s Permitted Discretion, and Swingline Lender shall at the direction of the Administrative Agent, knowingly and intentionally, continue to make Swingline Loans to the Borrowers notwithstanding that an Overadvance exists or thereby would be created, so long as (i) the total principal amount of such Overadvances, together with the amount of Agent Advances made pursuant to Section 2.4(a), then outstanding does not exceed an aggregate amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the lesser of (A) the Revolving Credit Commitment and (B) the Borrowing Base, (ii) after giving effect to such Swingline Loans, the outstanding Aggregate Revolving Credit Obligations does not exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment, and (iii) at the time of the making of any such Swingline Loans, the Administrative Agent does not believe, in good faith, that the Overadvance created by such Swingline Loans will be outstanding for more than thirty (30) days; provided, however, that upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders may at any time revoke the Administrative Agent’s authority to direct the Swingline Lender to continue to make Swingline Loans when an Overadvance exists or would be caused thereby. The foregoing sentence is for the exclusive benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender, and the Lenders and is not intended to benefit the Borrowers in any way.

The Administrative Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable prior written notice substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (a “Notice of Borrowing”) not later than 12:00 noon (i) on the same Business Day as each Base Rate Loan and each Swingline Loan and (ii) at least three (3) Business Days before each LIBOR Rate Loan, of its intention to borrow, specifying (A) the date of such borrowing, which shall be a Business Day, (B) the amount of such borrowing, which shall be (x) with respect to Base Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans), in an aggregate principal amount of $3,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (y) with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans, in an aggregate principal amount of $3,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (z) with respect to Swingline Loans, in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (C) whether such Loan is to be a Revolving Credit Loan or Swingline Loan, (D) in the case of a Revolving Credit Loan, whether the Loans are to be LIBOR Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans, and (E) in the case of a LIBOR Rate Loan, the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

Not later than 2:00 p.m. on the proposed borrowing date, (i) each Lender will make available to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Borrowers, at the office of the Administrative Agent in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Credit Loans to be made on such borrowing date and (ii) the Swingline Lender will make available to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Borrowers, at the office of the Administrative Agent in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Loans to be made on such borrowing date. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds of each borrowing requested pursuant to this Section 2.3 in immediately available funds by crediting or wiring such proceeds to the deposit account of the Administrative Borrower or, if such proceeds are to be wired by the Administrative Agent to the Canadian Borrower, to the deposit account of the Canadian Borrower maintained with a commercial bank incorporated under the laws of the United States acceptable to the Administrative Agent, in each case, identified in the most recent notice substantially in the form of Exhibit C (a “Notice of Account Designation”) delivered by the Administrative Borrower to the Administrative Agent or as may be otherwise agreed upon by the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent from time to time. Subject to Section 6.7, the Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to disburse the portion of the proceeds of any Revolving Credit Loan requested pursuant to this Section 2.3 to the extent that any Lender has not made available to the Administrative Agent its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such Loan. Revolving Credit Loans to be made for the purpose of refunding Swingline Loans shall be made by the Lenders as provided in Section 2.2(b). Each of the Borrower Parties hereby acknowledges and agrees that any proceeds of Loans to be disbursed or otherwise delivered to the Canadian Borrower by such Borrower Party or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall be wired to a deposit account of the Canadian Borrower maintained with a commercial bank incorporated under the laws of the United States.

The Administrative Agent shall promptly provide to the Borrowers written notice of any Agent Advance. In no event shall the Administrative Agent make an Agent Advance if (i) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Obligations, after giving effect to any Agent Advance, exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment, or (ii) at the time of the making of any such Agent Advance, the Administrative Agent believes, in good faith, that the Agent Advance will be outstanding for more than thirty (30) days. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Required Lenders may at any time revoke the Administrative Agent’s authority to make further Agent Advances by written notice to the Administrative Agent.

(b) Terms. The Agent Advances shall be secured by the Collateral and shall constitute Obligations hereunder. Each Agent Advance shall bear interest as a Base Rate Loan. Each Agent Advance shall be subject to all terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents applicable to Revolving Credit Loans, except that all payments thereon shall be made to the Administrative Agent solely for its own account and the making of any Agent Advance shall not require the consent of the Borrowers. The Administrative Agent shall have no duty or obligation to make any Agent Advance hereunder.

(i) Agent Advances shall be refunded by the Lenders on demand by the Administrative Agent. Such refundings shall be made by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages and shall thereafter be reflected as Revolving Credit Loans of the Lenders on the books and records of the Administrative Agent. Each Lender shall fund its respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of Revolving Credit Loans as required to repay Agent Advances outstanding to the Administrative Agent upon demand by the Administrative Agent but in no event later than 12:00 p.m. on the next succeeding Business Day after such demand is made. No Lender’s obligation to fund its respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of an Agent Advance shall be affected by any other Lender’s failure to fund its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of an Agent Advance, nor shall any Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage be increased as a result of any such failure of any other Lender to fund its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of an Agent Advance.

(ii) The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent on demand the amount of such Agent Advances to the extent amounts received from the Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full the outstanding Agent Advances requested or required to be refunded. In addition, if the Borrowers have not repaid such outstanding Agent Advances within one (1) Business Day of such demand by the Administrative Agent, each Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to charge any account maintained by any Borrower with the Administrative Agent (up to the amount available therein) in order to immediately pay the Administrative Agent the amount of such Agent Advances to the extent amounts received from the Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full the outstanding Agent Advances requested or required to be refunded. If any portion of any such amount paid to the Administrative Agent shall be recovered by or on behalf of any Borrower from the Administrative Agent in bankruptcy or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered shall be ratably shared among all the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages. Each Revolving Credit Loan made in accordance with this Section 2.4(c) shall bear interest as a Base Rate Loan commencing on the date of the refunding of the Agent Advance to which such Revolving Credit Loan relates.

(iii) Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to refund Agent Advances in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.4(c) is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including non-satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article 7. Further, each Lender agrees and acknowledges that, if prior to the refunding of any outstanding Agent Advances pursuant to this Section 2.4, one of the events described in Section 13.1(j) or (k) shall have occurred, each Lender will, on the date the applicable Revolving Credit Loan would have been made, be deemed to have purchased an undivided participating interest in the Agent Advances to be refunded in an amount equal to its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the aggregate amount of such Agent Advance. Each Lender will immediately transfer to the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds, the amount of its participation and upon receipt thereof the Administrative Agent will deliver to such Lender a certificate evidencing such participation dated the date of receipt of such funds and for such amount. Whenever, at any time after the Administrative Agent has received from any Lender such Lender’s participating interest in an Agent Advance, the Administrative Agent receives any payment on account thereof, the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its participating interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded).

Each permanent reduction permitted or required pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be accompanied by a payment of principal sufficient to reduce the Aggregate Revolving Credit Obligations after such reduction to the Revolving Credit Commitment as so reduced and if the Revolving Credit Commitment as so reduced is less than the aggregate amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, the Borrowers shall be required to deposit cash collateral in a cash collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to one hundred five percent (105%) of the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired amount of such Letters of Credit. Such cash collateral shall be applied in accordance with Section 13.2(b). Any reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitment to zero shall be accompanied by payment of all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, Agent Advances, Swingline Loans and all other Obligations (other than Bank Products) (and furnishing of cash collateral in an amount equal to one hundred five percent (105%) of the aggregate then undrawn and unexpired Letters of Credit then outstanding) and shall result in the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment, the L/C Commitment, the Swingline Commitment and the Revolving Credit Facility. Such cash collateral shall be applied in accordance with Section 13.2(b). If the reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitment requires the repayment of any LIBOR Rate Loan, such repayment shall be accompanied by any amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 6.8.

SECTION 2.7 Additional Increase of Commitments; Additional Lenders.

(a) Increase of Revolving Credit Commitment.

(i) The Administrative Borrower, on behalf of the Borrowers, may request the right to effectuate an increase in the Revolving Credit Commitment (a “Commitment Increase”), in an aggregate amount of up to $25,000,000 (the “Commitment Increase Cap”), once during the term of this Agreement by delivering a Notice of Requested Commitment Increase to Administrative Agent substantially in the form of Exhibit I (a “Notice of Requested Commitment Increase”), provided that: (A) the proposed Commitment Increase shall have been consented to in writing by the Administrative Agent (with such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), each Lender (if any) who is increasing its Revolving Credit Commitment and any other bank or financial institution acceptable to the Parent and the Administrative Agent that has agreed to become a Lender in respect of all or a portion of the Commitment Increase (a “New Lender”); (B) each Lender has been afforded the right to fund the Commitment Increase prior to any New Lender being given such right; (C) the Borrowers are in pro forma compliance with all financial covenants set forth in Article 11 prior to, and upon giving effect to, such Commitment Increase; and (D) all conditions to borrowing set forth in Section 7.2 shall be satisfied prior to such Commitment Increase. The Notice of Requested Commitment Increase shall specify: (1) the amount of the proposed Commitment Increase and (2) the requested date of the proposed Commitment Increase (which shall be at least fifteen (15) days from the date of delivery of the Notice of Requested Commitment Increase). Each Notice of Requested Commitment Increase shall be binding on all Borrowers. Upon the effective date of any Commitment Increase, the Administrative Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of the chief financial officer of the Parent certifying that no Default or Event of Default then exists or would be caused thereby. The Commitment Increase shall not be effective until the Administrative Agent shall have received amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, commitments of Lenders or New Lenders in an aggregate amount equal to the Commitment Increase, Lender Agreements for each Lender or New Lender committing to the Commitment Increase, any upfront fees to be paid to the Lenders committing to the Commitment Increase, and, if requested, opinion letters, Revolving Credit Notes and such other agreements, documents and instruments requested by and reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion evidencing and setting forth the conditions of the Commitment Increase.

(ii) If the Administrative Agent approves a proposed Commitment Increase (with such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), the Administrative Agent shall deliver a copy of the Notice of Requested Commitment Increase relating thereto to each Lender. No Lender (or any successor thereto) shall have any obligation to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment or its other obligations under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and any decision by a Lender to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment shall be made in its sole discretion independently from any other Lender. If the Administrative Agent receives commitments from the Lenders or the New Lenders in excess of the amount of the proposed Commitment Increase, the Administrative Agent shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to reduce and reallocate (within the minimum and maximum amounts specified by each such Lender or New Lender in its notice to the Administrative Agent) the shares of the Commitment Increase of the Lenders or New Lenders willing to fund the proposed Commitment Increase so that the total committed shares of the proposed Commitment Increase equals the proposed Commitment Increase. The Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender or New Lender, as the case may be, whether its proposed share of the Commitment Increase has been accepted and, if so, the amount of its share of the Commitment Increase, and such Lender shall thereafter execute and deliver a Lender Agreement with respect to its respective share of the Commitment Increase.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each Commitment Increase meeting the conditions set forth in Section 2.7(a)(i) shall not require the consent of any Lender other than those Lenders, if any, which have agreed to increase their Revolving Credit Commitments in connection with the Commitment Increase and shall not constitute an amendment, modification or waiver subject to Section 15.11 and shall be effective as of the later of (a) the date specified in the applicable Notice of Requested Commitment Increase and (b) the date upon which the foregoing conditions shall have been satisfied or waived by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders which have agreed to increase their Revolving Credit Commitments, or by the requisite Lenders in accordance with Section 15.11 in the case of a waiver of an Event of Default, as applicable.

(b) Effect of Commitment Increase. After giving effect to any Commitment Increase, the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans may not be held pro rata in accordance with the new Revolving Credit Commitment. In order to remedy the foregoing, on the effective date of each Commitment Increase, the Lenders (including any New Lenders) shall reallocate the Revolving Credit Loans owed to them among themselves so that, after giving effect thereto, the Revolving Credit Loans will be held by the Lenders (including any New Lenders) on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages hereunder (after giving effect to such Commitment Increase). Each Lender agrees to wire immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Agreement as may be required by Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 15.9, the reallocations so made by each Lender whose Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage has increased shall be deemed to be a purchase of a corresponding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of the Lender or Lenders whose Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage have decreased and shall not be considered an assignment for purposes of Section 15.9.

SECTION 2.8 Termination of Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility shall terminate on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

ARTICLE 3.

LETTER OF CREDIT FACILITY

SECTION 3.1 L/C Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in Section 3.4(a), agrees to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrowers on any Business Day from the Closing Date through but not including the Revolving Credit Maturity Date in such form as may be approved from time to time by the Issuing Lender; provided, that the Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (a) the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment or (b) the outstanding Aggregate Revolving Credit Obligations would exceed the lesser of (x) the Revolving Credit Commitment and (y) the Borrowing Base. Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars in a minimum amount of $25,000, (ii) be issued to support obligations of any Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries, contingent or otherwise, incurred in the ordinary course of business, (iii) expire on a date satisfactory to the Issuing Lender, which date shall be no later than the earlier of (A) one year from the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (subject to automatic renewals of Letters of Credit issued by Xxxxx Fargo Bank so long as such renewal periods terminate no later than the fifth Business Day prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date) and (B) the fifth Business Day prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and (iv) be subject to the Uniform Customs or ISP98, as set forth in the applicable Application or as determined by the Issuing Lender and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the laws of the State of North Carolina. The Issuing Lender shall not at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit hereunder if such issuance would conflict with, or cause the Issuing Lender or any Lender to exceed any limits imposed by, any Applicable Law. References herein to “issue” and derivations thereof with respect to Letters of Credit shall also include extensions or modifications of any existing Letters of Credit, unless the context otherwise requires.

SECTION 3.2 Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit. The Administrative Borrower may from time to time after the Closing Date request that the Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to the Issuing Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office an Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of the Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the Issuing Lender may request. Upon receipt of any Application, the Issuing Lender shall process such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall, subject to Section 3.1 and Article 7, promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall the Issuing Lender be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three (3) Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed by the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Borrower. The Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Borrower a copy of such Letter of Credit and promptly notify each Lender of the issuance and, upon request by any Lender, furnish to such Lender a copy of such Letter of Credit and the amount of such Lender’s Letter of Credit participation therein.

SECTION 3.3 Commissions and Other Charges.

(a) Letter of Credit Commission. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages, a letter of credit commission with respect to each Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the Applicable Margin with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans for the Revolving Credit Facility (determined on a per annum basis) multiplied by the average daily amount of such Lender’s L/C Obligations during the period from and including the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit to but excluding the date on which such Letter of Credit has expired or is terminated. Such commission shall be payable monthly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar month and on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and thereafter on demand of the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, distribute to the Lenders all commissions received pursuant to this Section 3.3(a) in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages.

(b) Issuance Fee. In addition to the foregoing commission, the Borrowers shall pay the Issuing Lender an issuance fee with respect to each Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the average daily amount of such Lender’s L/C Obligations during the period from and including the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit to but excluding the date on which such Letter of Credit has expired or is terminated multiplied by 0.15% per annum. Such issuance fee shall be payable monthly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar month and on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and thereafter on demand of the Administrative Agent.

(c) Other Costs. In addition to the foregoing fees and commissions, the Borrowers shall pay or reimburse the Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by the Issuing Lender in issuing, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit.

SECTION 3.4 L/C Participations.

(a) Participations. The Issuing Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each Lender, and, to induce the Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each Lender irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the Issuing Lender, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such Lender’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage in the Issuing Lender’s obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of Credit issued hereunder and the amount of each draft paid by the Issuing Lender thereunder. Each Lender unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with the Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which the Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrowers through a Revolving Credit Loan or otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Lender shall pay to the Issuing Lender upon demand at the Issuing Lender’s address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, which is not so reimbursed.

(b) Payments by Lenders. Upon becoming aware of any amount required to be paid by any Lender to the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall notify each Lender of the amount and due date of such required payment and such Lender shall pay to the Issuing Lender the amount specified on the applicable due date. If any such amount is paid to the Issuing Lender after the date such payment is due, such Lender shall pay to the Issuing Lender on demand, in addition to such amount, the product of (i) such amount, multiplied by (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Rate as determined by the Administrative Agent during the period from and including the date such payment is due to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Issuing Lender, multiplied by (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is three hundred sixty (360). A certificate of the Issuing Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 3.4(b) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. With respect to payment to the Issuing Lender of the unreimbursed amounts described in this Section 3.4(b), if the Lenders receive notice that any such payment is due (A) prior to 1:00 p.m. on any Business Day, such payment shall be due that Business Day, and (B) after 1:00 p.m. on any Business Day, such payment shall be due on the following Business Day.

(c) Distributions to Lenders. Whenever, at any time after the Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such payment in accordance with this Section 3.4, the Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from any Borrower or otherwise), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Issuing Lender will distribute to such Lender its pro rata share thereof; provided, that in the event that any such payment received by the Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by the Issuing Lender, such Lender shall return to the Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by the Issuing Lender to it.

SECTION 3.5 Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrowers. In the event of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, each Borrower agrees to immediately reimburse the Issuing Lender for amounts paid by the Issuing Lender in respect of draws under each Letter of Credit. In order to facilitate such repayment, each Borrower hereby irrevocably requests that the Lenders make, and the Lenders hereby severally agree to make, on the terms and conditions of this Agreement (other than as provided in Articles 2 and 6 with respect to the amounts of, the timing and form of requests for, and the repayment of, Revolving Credit Loans hereunder and in Section 7.2 with respect to conditions precedent to Revolving Credit Loans hereunder), with respect to any drawing under a Letter of Credit, a Revolving Credit Loan bearing interest at the Base Rate commencing on the day on which any drawing is made under any Letter of Credit and in the aggregate amount of such drawing plus any amounts referred to in Section 3.3(c) incurred by the Issuing Lender in connection with such draw, the proceeds of which shall be applied to reimburse the Issuing Lender for the amount of the related drawing and costs and expenses. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to fund a Revolving Credit Loan in accordance with this Section 3.5 to reimburse the Issuing Lender for any draft paid under a Letter of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including non-satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.3(a) or Article 7.

SECTION 3.6 Obligations Absolute. The Borrowers’ obligations under this Article 3 (including the Reimbursement Obligation) shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment which any Borrower may have or have had against the Issuing Lender or any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. Each Borrower also agrees that the Issuing Lender and the Lenders shall not be responsible for, and each Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligation under Section 3.5 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among any Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of any Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. The Issuing Lender shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions caused by the Issuing Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment. Each Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment, shall be binding on the Borrowers and shall not result in any liability of the Issuing Lender or any Lender to any Borrower. The responsibility of the Issuing Lender to any Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are in conformity with such Letter of Credit.

SECTION 3.7 Effect of Application. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Article 3, the provisions of this Article 3 shall apply.

SECTION 3.8 Existing Letters of Credit. The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender agree that, on the Closing Date, each Letter of Credit issued by Xxxxx Fargo Bank, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A, and Bank of America, N.A. more particularly described on Schedule 3.8 shall, notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 3.1 and 3.2, be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued under and pursuant to, and shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement as if originally issued pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, notwithstanding any agreements, instruments and other documents providing for the reimbursement of letter of credit draws or the payment of fees, expenses and other charges in place as of the Closing Date (collectively, the “Existing Reimbursement and Fee Documents”) executed in connection with such Letters of Credit. On the Closing Date, all Existing Reimbursement and Fee Documents (other than any Applications) shall automatically terminate and be of no further force and effect.

ARTICLE 4.

JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY OF THE BORROWERS

SECTION 4.1 Joint and Several Obligations. (a) All Obligations shall constitute joint and several obligations of the Borrowers and shall be secured by the Administrative Agent’s security interest (on behalf of the Lender Group) and Lien upon all of the Collateral, and by all other security interests and Liens heretofore, now or at any time hereafter granted by each Borrower to the Lender Group, or any of them, to the extent provided in the Security Documents under which such Lien arises. Each Borrower expressly represents and acknowledges that it is part of a common enterprise with the other Borrowers and that any financial accommodations by the Lender Group, or any of them, to any other Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are and will be of direct and indirect interest, benefit and advantage to all Borrowers. Each Borrower acknowledges that any Notice of Borrowing, Notice of Conversion/Continuation or other notice given by any Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall bind all Borrowers, and that any notice given by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any Borrower shall be effective with respect to all Borrowers. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that each Borrower shall be liable, on a joint and several basis, for all of the Loans and other Obligations, regardless of which Borrower actually may have received the proceeds of any of the Loans or other extensions of credit or the amount of such Loans or other extensions of credit received or the manner in which the Administrative Agent or any Lender accounts among the Borrowers for such Loans or other Obligations on its books and records, and further acknowledges and agrees that Loans and other extensions of credit to any Borrower inure to the mutual benefit of all of the Borrowers and that the Lender Group is relying on the joint and several liability of the Borrowers in extending the Loans and other financial accommodations under the Loan Documents and Bank Products Documents.

(b) Each Borrower shall be entitled to subrogation and contribution rights from and against the other Borrowers to the extent such Borrower is required to pay to the Lender Group any amount in excess of the Loans advanced directly to, or other Obligations incurred directly by, such Borrower or as otherwise available under Applicable Law; provided, however, that such subrogation and contribution rights are and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Sections 4.1(c) through 4.1(g).

(c) It is the intent of the Borrowers and the Lender Group and any other Person holding any of the Obligations that each Borrower’s maximum obligations hereunder (such Borrower’s “Maximum Borrower Liability”) in any case or proceeding referred to below (but only in such a case or proceeding) shall not be in excess of:

(i) in a case or proceeding commenced by or against such Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code on or within one (1) year from the date on which any of the Obligations of such Borrower are incurred, the maximum amount that would not otherwise cause the Obligations of such Borrower hereunder (or any other Obligations of such Borrower to the Lender Group and any other Person holding any of the Obligations) to be avoidable or unenforceable against such Borrower under (A) Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or (B) any state fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance act or statute applied in such case or proceeding by virtue of Section 544 of the Bankruptcy Code; or

(ii) in a case or proceeding commenced by or against such Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code subsequent to one (1) year from the date on which any of the Obligations of such Borrower are incurred, the maximum amount that would not otherwise cause the Obligations of such Borrower hereunder (or any other Obligations of such Borrower to the Lender Group and any other Person holding any of the Obligations) to be avoidable or unenforceable against such Borrower under any state fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance act or statute applied in any such case or proceeding by virtue of Section 544 of the Bankruptcy Code; or

(iii) in a case or proceeding commenced by or against such Borrower under any law, statute or regulation other than the Bankruptcy Code relating to dissolution, liquidation, conservatorship, bankruptcy, moratorium, readjustment of debt, compromise, rearrangement, receivership, insolvency, reorganization or similar debtor relief from time to time in effect affecting the rights of creditors generally (collectively, “Other Debtor Relief Law”), the maximum amount that would not otherwise cause the Obligations of such Borrower hereunder (or any other Obligations of such Borrower to the Lender Group and any other Person holding any of the Obligations) to be avoidable or unenforceable against such Borrower under such Other Debtor Relief Law, including any state fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance act or statute applied in any such case or proceeding. (The substantive state, provincial or federal (United States or Canada) laws under which the possible avoidance or unenforceability of the Obligations of any Borrower hereunder (or any other Obligations of such Borrower to the Lender Group and any other Person holding any of the Obligations) shall be determined in any such case or proceeding shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Avoidance Provisions”).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Section 4.1(c) shall limit any Borrower’s liability for Loans advanced directly or indirectly to it, or Letters of Credit issued directly or indirectly for its benefit, under this Agreement.

(d) To the extent set forth in Section 4.1(c), but only to the extent that the Obligations of any Borrower hereunder, or the transfers made by such Borrower under any Security Document, would otherwise be subject to avoidance under any Avoidance Provisions if such Borrower is not deemed to have received valuable consideration, fair value, fair consideration or reasonably equivalent value for such transfers or obligations, or if such transfers or obligations of any Borrower hereunder would render such Borrower insolvent, or leave such Borrower with an unreasonably small capital or unreasonably small assets to conduct its business, or cause such Borrower to have incurred debts (or to have intended to have incurred debts) beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature, in each case as of the time any of the obligations of such Borrower are deemed to have been incurred and transfers made under such Avoidance Provisions, then the obligations of such Borrower hereunder shall be reduced to that amount which, after giving effect thereto, would not cause the Obligations of such Borrower hereunder (or any other Obligations of such Borrower to the Lender Group or any other Person holding any of the Obligations), as so reduced, to be subject to avoidance under such Avoidance Provisions. This Section 4.1(d) is intended solely to preserve the rights hereunder of the Lender Group and any other Person holding any of the Obligations to the maximum extent that would not cause the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder to be subject to avoidance under any Avoidance Provisions, and none of the Borrowers nor any other Person shall have any right, defense, offset, or claim under this Section 4.1(d) as against the Lender Group or any other Person holding any of the Obligations that would not otherwise be available to such Person under the Avoidance Provisions.

(e) Each Borrower agrees that the Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the Maximum Borrower Liability of such Borrower, and may exceed the aggregate Maximum Borrower Liability of all Borrowers hereunder, without impairing this Agreement or any provision contained herein or affecting the rights and remedies of the Lender Group hereunder.

(f) In the event any Borrower (a “Funding Borrower”) shall make any payment or payments under this Agreement or shall suffer any loss as a result of any realization upon any collateral granted by it to secure its obligations hereunder, each other Borrower (each, a “Contributing Borrower”) shall contribute to such Funding Borrower an amount equal to such payment or payments made, or losses suffered, by such Funding Borrower determined as of the date on which such payment or loss was made multiplied by the ratio of (i) the Maximum Borrower Liability of such Contributing Borrower (without giving effect to any right to receive any contribution or other obligation to make any contribution hereunder), to (ii) the aggregate Maximum Borrower Liability of all Borrowers (including the Funding Borrowers) hereunder (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder). Nothing in this Section 4.1(f) shall affect any Borrower’s joint and several liability to the Lender Group for the entire amount of its Obligations. Each Borrower covenants and agrees that its right to receive any contribution hereunder from a Contributing Borrower shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to all obligations of the Borrowers to the Lender Group hereunder.

(g) No Borrower will exercise any rights which it may acquire by way of subrogation hereunder or under any other Loan Document or Bank Products Documents or at law by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, nor shall any Borrower seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from any other Borrower in respect of payments made by such Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document or Bank Products Documents, until all amounts owing to the Lender Group on account of the Obligations are paid in full in cash. If any amounts shall be paid to any Borrower on account of such subrogation or contribution rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by such Borrower in trust for the Lender Group, segregated from other funds of such Borrower, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Borrower, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by such Borrower (duly endorsed by such Borrower to the Administrative Agent, if required), to be applied against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, as provided for herein.

SECTION 4.2 Canadian Borrower. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, so long as (a) the Canadian Borrower is a CFC, (b) Section 956 of the Code is in effect and (c) a guaranty by the Canadian Borrower of, or joint and several liability of the Canadian Borrower with respect to, all of the Obligations would result in a deemed distribution of the “earnings and profits” of the Canadian Borrower to the Parent under Section 956 of the Code, the Obligations of the Canadian Borrower under this Article 4 shall be limited to the Canadian Obligations.

ARTICLE 5.

GUARANTY

SECTION 5.1 Guaranty.

(a) Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby guarantees to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the full and prompt payment of the Obligations, including any interest therein (including interest as provided in this Agreement, accruing after the filing of a petition initiating any insolvency proceedings, whether or not such interest accrues or is recoverable against the Borrowers after the filing of such petition for purposes of the Bankruptcy Code or is an allowed claim in such proceeding), plus reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses if the obligations represented by the guaranty set forth in this Article 5 (this “Guaranty”) are collected by law, through an attorney-at-law, or under advice therefrom.

(b) Regardless of whether any proposed guarantor or any other Person shall become in any other way responsible to the Lender Group, or any of them, for or in respect of the Obligations or any part thereof, and regardless of whether or not any Person now or hereafter responsible to the Lender Group, or any of them, for the Obligations or any part thereof, whether under this Guaranty or otherwise, shall cease to be so liable, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby declares and agrees that this Guaranty shall be a joint and several obligation, shall be a continuing guaranty and shall be operative and binding until the Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash (or in the case of L/C Obligations, secured through delivery of cash collateral in an amount equal to one hundred and five percent (105%) of the L/C Obligations) and the Revolving Credit Commitment shall have been terminated.

(c) Each Subsidiary Guarantor absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably waives any and all right to assert any defense (other than the defense of payment in cash in full, to the extent of its obligations hereunder, or a defense that such Subsidiary Guarantor’s liability is limited as provided in Section 5.1(g)), set-off, counterclaim or cross-claim of any nature whatsoever with respect to this Guaranty or the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors under this Guaranty or the obligations of any other Person or party (including the Borrowers) relating to this Guaranty or the obligations of any of the Subsidiary Guarantors under this Guaranty or otherwise with respect to the Obligations in any action or proceeding brought by the Administrative Agent or any other member of the Lender Group to collect the Obligations or any portion thereof, or to enforce the obligations of any of the Subsidiary Guarantors under this Guaranty.

(d) The Lender Group, or any of them, may from time to time, without exonerating or releasing any Subsidiary Guarantor in any way under this Guaranty, (i) take such further or other security or securities for the Obligations or any part thereof as they may deem proper, or (ii) release, discharge, abandon or otherwise deal with or fail to deal with any Subsidiary Guarantor of the Obligations or any security or securities therefor or any part thereof now or hereafter held by the Lender Group, or any of them, or (iii) amend, modify, extend, accelerate or waive in any manner any of the provisions, terms, or conditions of the Loan Documents, all as they may consider expedient or appropriate in their sole discretion. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, or of Section 5.1(e), it is understood that the Lender Group, or any of them, may, without exonerating or releasing any Subsidiary Guarantor, give up, modify or abstain from perfecting or taking advantage of any security for the Obligations and accept or make any compositions or arrangements, and realize upon any security for the Obligations when, and in such manner, and with or without notice, all as such Person may deem expedient.

(e) Each Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that no change in the nature or terms of the Obligations or any of the Loan Documents, or other agreements, instruments or contracts evidencing, related to or attendant with the Obligations (including any novation), shall discharge all or any part of the liabilities and obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty; it being the purpose and intent of the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Lender Group that the covenants, agreements and all liabilities and obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder are absolute, unconditional and irrevocable under any and all circumstances. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that until each and every one of the covenants and agreements of this Guaranty is fully performed, and without possibility of recourse, whether by operation of law or otherwise, such Subsidiary Guarantor’s undertakings hereunder shall not be released, in whole or in part, by any action or thing which might, but for this Section 5.1(e), be deemed a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor, or by reason of any waiver, omission of the Lender Group, or any of them, or their failure to proceed promptly or otherwise, or by reason of any action taken or omitted by the Lender Group, or any of them, whether or not such action or failure to act varies or increases the risk of, or affects the rights or remedies of, such Subsidiary Guarantor or by reason of any further dealings between any Borrower, on the one hand, and any member of the Lender Group, on the other hand, or any other guarantor or surety, and such Subsidiary Guarantor hereby expressly waives and surrenders any defense to its liability hereunder, or any right of counterclaim or offset of any nature or description which it may have or may exist based upon, and shall be deemed to have consented to, any of the foregoing acts, omissions, things, agreements or waivers.

(f) The Lender Group, or any of them, may, without demand or notice of any kind upon or to any Subsidiary Guarantor, at any time or from time to time when any amount shall be due and payable hereunder by any Subsidiary Guarantor, if the Borrowers shall not have timely paid any of the Obligations (or in the case of L/C Obligations, secured through delivery of cash collateral in an amount equal to one hundred and five percent (105%) of the L/C Obligations), set-off and appropriate and apply to any portion of the Obligations hereby guaranteed, and in such order of application as the Administrative Agent may from time to time elect in accordance with this Agreement, any deposits, property, balances, credit accounts or moneys of any Subsidiary Guarantor in the possession of any member of the Lender Group or under their respective control for any purpose. If and to the extent that any Subsidiary Guarantor makes any payment to the Administrative Agent or any other Person pursuant to or in respect of this Guaranty, any claim which such Subsidiary Guarantor may have against the Borrowers by reason thereof shall be subject and subordinate to the prior payment in full of the Obligations to the satisfaction of the Lender Group.

(g) The creation or existence from time to time of Obligations in excess of the amount committed to or outstanding on the date of this Guaranty is hereby authorized, without notice to any Subsidiary Guarantor, and shall in no way impair or affect this Guaranty or the rights of the Lender Group herein. It is the intention of each Subsidiary Guarantor and the Administrative Agent that each Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall be, but not in excess of, the Maximum Guaranteed Amount (as herein defined). The “Maximum Guaranteed Amount” with respect to any Subsidiary Guarantor, means the maximum amount which could be paid by such Subsidiary Guarantor without rendering this Guaranty void or voidable as would otherwise be held or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in any action or proceeding involving any state, provincial or federal (United States or Canada) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws relating to the insolvency of debtors.

(h) Upon the bankruptcy or winding up or other distribution of assets of any Borrower, or of any surety or guarantor (other than the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor) for any Obligations of the Borrowers to the Lender Group, or any of them, the rights of the Administrative Agent against any Subsidiary Guarantor shall not be affected or impaired by the omission of any member of the Lender Group to prove its claim, or to prove the full claim, as appropriate, against such Borrower, or any other Borrower or any such other guarantor or surety, and the Administrative Agent may prove such claims as it sees fit and may refrain from proving any claim and in its discretion may value as it sees fit or refrain from valuing any security held by it without in any way releasing, reducing or otherwise affecting the liability to the Lender Group of each of the Subsidiary Guarantors.

(i) Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably expressly waives, except to the extent such waiver would be expressly prohibited by Applicable Law, the following: (i) notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, (ii) notice of the existence or creation of all or any of the Obligations, (iii) presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest and all other notices whatsoever (other than notices expressly required hereunder or under any other Loan Document to which any Subsidiary Guarantor is a party), (iv) all diligence in collection or protection of or realization upon the Obligations or any part thereof, any obligation hereunder, or any security for any of the foregoing, (v) all rights to enforce any remedy which the Lender Group, or any of them, may have against the Borrowers, and (vi) until the Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash (or in the case of L/C Obligations, secured through delivery of cash collateral in an amount equal to one hundred and five percent (105%) of the L/C Obligations) and the Revolving Credit Commitment shall have been terminated, all rights of subrogation, indemnification, contribution and reimbursement from the Borrowers for amounts paid hereunder and any benefit of, or right to participate in, any collateral or security now or hereinafter held by the Lender Group, or any of them, in respect of the Obligations. If a claim is ever made upon any member of the Lender Group for the repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received by such Person in payment of any of the Obligations and such Person repays all or part of such amount by reason of (A) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such Person or any of its property, or (B) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by such Person with any such claimant, including any Borrower, then in such event each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding upon such Subsidiary Guarantor, notwithstanding any revocation hereof or the cancellation of any promissory note or other instrument evidencing any of the Obligations, and such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be and remain obligated to such Person hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by such Person.

(j) This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty of the Obligations and all liabilities to which it applies or may apply under the terms hereof and shall be conclusively presumed to have been created in reliance hereon. No failure or delay by any member of the Lender Group in the exercise of any right, power, privilege or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by the Administrative Agent of any right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy and no course of dealing between any Subsidiary Guarantor and any member of the Lender Group shall operate as a waiver thereof. No action by any member of the Lender Group permitted hereunder shall in any way impair or affect this Guaranty. For the purpose of this Guaranty, the Obligations shall include all Obligations of the Borrowers to the Lender Group, notwithstanding any right or power of any third party, individually or in the name of the Borrowers and the Lender Group, or any of them, to assert any claim or defense as to the invalidity or unenforceability of any such Obligation, and no such claim or defense shall impair or affect the obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder.

(k) This is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. In the event the Administrative Agent makes a demand upon any Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with the terms of this Guaranty, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be held and bound to the Administrative Agent directly as debtor in respect of the payment of the amounts hereby guaranteed. All costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by the Administrative Agent in obtaining performance of or collecting payments due under this Guaranty shall be deemed part of the Obligations guaranteed hereby.

(l) Each Subsidiary Guarantor is a direct or indirect Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of a Borrower. Each Subsidiary Guarantor expressly represents and acknowledges that any financial accommodations by the Lender Group to any Borrower, including the extension of credit, are and will be of direct interest, benefit and advantage to such Subsidiary Guarantor.

(m) The payment obligation of a Subsidiary Guarantor to any other Subsidiary Guarantor under any Applicable Law regarding contribution rights among co-obligors or otherwise shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty, and such Subsidiary Guarantor shall not exercise any right or remedy with respect to such rights until payment and satisfaction in full of all such obligations.

SECTION 5.2 Special Provisions Applicable to Subsidiary Guarantors. Pursuant to Section 10.11, certain new Subsidiaries of a Borrower are required to enter into this Agreement by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent a joinder agreement as provided in Section 10.11. Upon the execution and delivery of such joinder agreement by a new Subsidiary, such Subsidiary shall become a Subsidiary Guarantor and Credit Party hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Subsidiary Guarantor or Credit Party herein. The execution and delivery of any joinder agreement adding an additional Subsidiary Guarantor as a party to this Agreement shall not require the consent of any other party hereto. The rights and obligations of each party hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder.

ARTICLE 6.

GENERAL LOAN PROVISIONS

SECTION 6.1 Interest.

(a) Interest Rate Options. Subject to the provisions of this Section 6.1, at the election of the Borrowers, (i) Revolving Credit Loans shall bear interest at (A) the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin as set forth in Section 6.1(c) or (B) the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin as set forth in Section 6.1(c) and (ii) any Swingline Loan shall bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin as set forth in Section 6.1(c). The Administrative Borrower shall select the rate of interest and Interest Period, if any, applicable to any Loan at the time a Notice of Borrowing is given or at the time a Notice of Conversion/Continuation is given pursuant to Section 6.2. Each Loan or portion thereof bearing interest based on the Base Rate shall be a “Base Rate Loan”, and each Loan or portion thereof bearing interest based on the LIBOR Rate shall be a “LIBOR Rate Loan.” Any Loan or any portion thereof as to which the Administrative Borrower has not duly specified an interest rate as provided herein shall be deemed a Base Rate Loan.

(b) Interest Periods. In connection with each LIBOR Rate Loan, the Administrative Borrower, by giving notice pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.3(a), shall elect an interest period (each, an “Interest Period”) to be applicable to such Loan, which Interest Period shall be a period of one (1), two (2), three (3), or six (6) months; provided that:

(i) the Interest Period shall commence on the date of advance of or conversion to any LIBOR Rate Loan and, in the case of immediately successive Interest Periods, each successive Interest Period shall commence on the date on which the immediately preceding Interest Period expires;

(ii) if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided, that if any Interest Period with respect to a LIBOR Rate Loan would otherwise expire on a day that 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 immediately preceding Business Day;

(iii) any Interest Period with respect to a LIBOR Rate Loan that begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month (or on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period) shall end on the last Business Day of the relevant calendar month at the end of such Interest Period;

(iv) no Interest Period shall extend beyond the Revolving Credit Maturity Date; and

(v) there shall be no more than six (6) Interest Periods in effect at any time.

(c) Applicable Margin. The Applicable Margin provided for in Section 6.1(a) with respect to any Loan (the “Applicable Margin”) shall be based upon the table set forth below and shall be determined by reference to Average Excess Availability as of the last day of the most recently ended month preceding the applicable Calculation Date and adjusted monthly, commencing on November 1, 2011, on the date (each, a “Calculation Date”) that is the first day of the first month after the earlier of (i) the date on which the Credit Parties provide, or (ii) the date on which the Credit Parties are required to provide, the reports and other information required to be provided for each month pursuant to Section 9.4(b); provided, however, that if the Credit Parties fail to provide the reports and other information as required by Section 9.4(b) for the most recently ended month preceding the applicable Calculation Date, the Applicable Margin from such Calculation Date shall be based on Pricing Level I (as shown below) until such time as such reports and other information is provided as required by Section 9.4(b), at which time the Applicable Margin shall be determined by reference to Average Excess Availability as of the last day of the most recently ended month preceding such Calculation Date. The Applicable Margin shall be effective from one Calculation Date until the next Calculation Date. Automatically upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under Section 13.1(a), (b), (j) or (k), and at the election of the Required Lenders upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default, the Applicable Margin shall be based on Pricing Level I. Any adjustment in the Applicable Margin shall be applicable to all Extensions of Credit then existing or subsequently made or issued.

		Revolving Credit Facility
Pricing Level	Average Excess Availability	LIBOR			Base Rate
I	Less than $25,000,000		2.00	%		0.50	%
II	Greater than or equal to $25,000,000 but less than or equal to $50,000,000		1.75	%		0.25	%
III	Greater than $50,000,000		1.50	%		0.00	%

Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in the event that the information regarding Average Excess Availability delivered pursuant to this Agreement is shown to be inaccurate, and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application of higher Applicable Margins for any period (a “Margin Rate Period”) than the Applicable Margins actually applied for such Margin Rate Period, then (a) the Parent shall immediately deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate calculating the correct Average Excess Availability for such Margin Rate Period, (b) the Applicable Margins shall be determined as if the correct Applicable Margins (as shown above) were applicable for such Margin Rate Period, and (c) the Borrowers shall immediately deliver to the Administrative Agent full payment in respect of the accrued additional interest on the Obligations as a result of such increased Applicable Margins for such Margin Rate Period, which payment shall be promptly applied by the Administrative Agent to the affected Obligations.

(d) Default Rate. Subject to Section 13.3, (i) automatically upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under Section 13.1(a), (b), (j) or (k) and (ii) at the election of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default, (A) the Borrowers shall no longer have the option to request LIBOR Rate Loans, Swingline Loans or Letters of Credit, (B) all outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum of two percent (2%) in excess of the rate then applicable to LIBOR Rate Loans until the end of the applicable Interest Period and thereafter at a rate equal to two percent (2%) in excess of the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans, and (C) all outstanding Base Rate Loans and other Obligations arising hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) in excess of the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans or such other Obligations arising hereunder or under any other Loan Document. Interest shall continue to accrue on the Obligations after the filing by or against any Borrower of any petition seeking any relief in bankruptcy or under any act or law pertaining to insolvency or debtor relief, whether state, provincial, federal (United States or Canada) or foreign. Such interest shall be payable on demand of the Administrative Agent.

(e) Interest Payment and Computation. Interest on each Base Rate Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar month commencing on the first such day following the Closing Date; and interest on each LIBOR Rate Loan shall be due and payable on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto, and if such Interest Period extends over three (3) months, at the end of each three (3) month interval during such Interest Period. Interest on LIBOR Rate Loans, Base Rate Loans calculated based upon the Federal Funds Rate and all fees payable hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360)-day year and assessed for the actual number of days elapsed and interest on Base Rate Loans calculated based upon the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty-five (365)/three hundred sixty-six (366)-day year and assessed for the actual number of days elapsed.

(f) Maximum Rate. In no contingency or event whatsoever shall the aggregate of all amounts deemed interest under this Agreement charged or collected pursuant to the terms of this Agreement exceed the highest rate permissible under any Applicable Law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto. In the event that such a court determines that the Lenders have charged or received interest hereunder in excess of the highest applicable rate, the rate in effect hereunder shall automatically be reduced to the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law and the Lenders shall at the Administrative Agent’s option (i) promptly refund to the Borrowers any interest received by the Lenders in excess of the maximum lawful rate or (ii) shall apply such excess to the principal balance of the Obligations on a pro rata basis. It is the intent hereof that no Borrower pay or contract to pay, and that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender receive or contract to receive, directly or indirectly in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be paid by such Borrower under Applicable Law.

(g) Interest Act (Canada); Criminal Rate of Interest; Nominal Rate of Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, solely to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines that the calculation or determination of interest payable by the Canadian Borrower in respect of the Obligations pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be governed by the laws of the province of Ontario or the federal laws of Canada:

(i) whenever interest payable by the Canadian Borrower is calculated on the basis of a period which is less than the actual number of days in a calendar year, each rate of interest determined pursuant to such calculation is, for the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), equivalent to such rate multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which such rate is to be ascertained and divided by the number of days used as the basis of such calculation;

(ii) in no event shall the aggregate “interest” (as defined in Section 347 of the Criminal Code, R.S.C. 1985, c. C-46, as the same shall be amended, replaced or re-enacted from time to time) payable by the Canadian Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document exceed the effective annual rate of interest on the “credit advances” (as defined in that section) under this Agreement or such other Loan Document lawfully permitted under that section and, if any payment, collection or demand pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in respect of “interest” (as defined in that section) is determined to be contrary to the provisions of that section, such payment, collection or demand shall be deemed to have been made by mutual mistake of the Administrative Agent, Lenders and the Canadian Borrower and the amount of such payment or collection shall be refunded by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, as applicable, to the Canadian Borrower. For the purposes of this Agreement and each other Loan Document to which the Canadian Borrower is a party, the effective annual rate of interest payable by the Canadian Borrower shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles over the term of the Loans on the basis of annual compounding for the lawfully permitted rate of interest and, in the event of dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Institute of Actuaries appointed by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Canadian Borrower will be conclusive for the purpose of such determination in the absence of evidence to the contrary; and

(iii) all calculations of interest payable by the Canadian Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document are to be made on the basis of the nominal interest rate described herein and therein and not on the basis of effective yearly rates or on any other basis which gives effect to the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest. The parties hereto acknowledge that there is a material difference between the stated nominal interest rates and the effective yearly rates of interest and that they are capable of making the calculations required to determine such effective yearly rates of interest.

SECTION 6.2 Notice and Manner of Conversion or Continuation of Loans. Provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, the Borrowers shall have the option to (a) convert at any time following the third Business Day after the Closing Date all or any portion of any outstanding Base Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans) in a principal amount equal to $3,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof into one (1) or more LIBOR Rate Loans and (b) upon the expiration of any Interest Period, (i) convert all or any part of its outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans in a principal amount equal to $3,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof into Base Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans) or (ii) continue such LIBOR Rate Loans as LIBOR Rate Loans. Whenever the Borrowers desire to convert or continue Loans as provided above, the Administrative Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable prior written notice in the form attached as Exhibit D (a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”) not later than 12:00 p.m. three (3) Business Days before the day on which a proposed conversion or continuation of such Loan is to be effective specifying (A) the Loans to be converted or continued, and, in the case of any LIBOR Rate Loan to be converted or continued, the last day of the Interest Period therefor, (B) the effective date of such conversion or continuation (which shall be a Business Day), (C) the principal amount of such Loans to be converted or continued, and (D) the Interest Period to be applicable to such converted or continued LIBOR Rate Loan. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of such Notice of Conversion/Continuation.

SECTION 6.3 Fees and Charges.

(a) Commitment Fee. Commencing on the Closing Date, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, a non-refundable commitment fee at a rate per annum equal to 0.25% on the aggregate average daily unused portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment; provided, that the amount of outstanding Swingline Loans shall not be considered usage of the Revolving Credit Commitment for the purposes of calculating such commitment fee. The commitment fee shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar month during the term of this Agreement commencing on the first such day following the Closing Date, and on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. Such commitment fee shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Lenders’ respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages.

(b) Upfront Fees. On the Closing Date, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, the upfront fees set forth in that certain amended and restated fee letter between the Parent and the Administrative Agent dated as of the date hereof (the “Fee Letter”).

(c) Administrative Agent’s and Other Fees. In order to compensate the Administrative Agent for structuring and syndicating the Loans and for its obligations hereunder, the Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its account, the fees set forth in the Fee Letter.

(d) Audit and Appraisal Charges.

(i) With respect to any appraisal or evaluation performed by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Borrowers shall pay the actual reasonable charges paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the employment of the services of one or more third Persons, in its Permitted Discretion, to perform field examinations of the assets of the Credit Parties, to appraise the Collateral or any other collateral securing the Obligations, or any portion thereof.

(ii) With respect to any audit or field examination performed by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Borrowers shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and costs heretofore and from time to time hereafter incurred by the Administrative Agent during the course of periodic audits or field examinations of the Collateral and the operations of the Credit Parties, or any of them, plus a per diem charge of $1,000 per person per day (or, if higher, at the Administrative Agent’s then standard rate) for the Administrative Agent’s examiners in the field and office, or, if it elects to employ the services of one or more third Persons, in its Permitted Discretion, such other higher fee per day, per auditor, paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that, if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall request, in any calendar year, no more than (in addition to any field examinations or appraisals pursuant to Section 12.3(f) or 12.3(g)) (x) if Excess Availability has been (i) greater than or equal to $50,000,000 during such entire calendar year, one (1) field examination in such calendar year or (ii) less than $50,000,000 at any point in such calendar year, three (3) field examinations in such calendar year and (y) if the aggregate amount of the Borrowing Base attributable to Eligible Inventory (clause (b) plus (c) of the Borrowing Base definition) (i) is less than fifty percent (50%) of the lesser of (A) the Revolving Credit Commitment or (B) the Borrowing Base, during such entire calendar year, one (1) appraisal in such calendar year, or (ii) exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the lesser of (A) the Revolving Credit Commitment or (B) the Borrowing Base, at any time during such calendar year, two (2) appraisals in such calendar year.

SECTION 6.4 Manner of Payment.

(a) Each payment by the Borrowers on account of the principal of or interest on the Loans or of any fee, commission or other amounts (including the Reimbursement Obligation) payable to the Lenders under this Agreement or any Note shall be made not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date specified for payment under this Agreement to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office for the account of the Lenders (other than as set forth below) pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages (except as specified below), in Dollars and in immediately available funds and shall be made without any set-off, counterclaim or deduction whatsoever. Any payment received after such time shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day for all purposes. Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of each such payment, the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender at its address for notices set forth herein its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage (except as specified below), and shall wire advice of the amount of such credit to each Lender. Each payment to the Administrative Agent of the Issuing Lender’s fees or Lenders’ commissions shall be made in like manner, but for the account of the Issuing Lender or the Lenders, as the case may be. Each payment to the Administrative Agent of Administrative Agent’s fees or expenses shall be made in like manner but for the account of the Administrative Agent, and any amount payable to any Lender under Section 6.8, 6.9, 6.10, 6.11 or 15.11 shall be paid to the Administrative Agent in like manner but for the account of the applicable Lender. Subject to Section 6.1(b)(ii), if any payment under this Agreement or any Note shall be specified to be made upon a day which is not a Business Day, it shall be deemed made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day and such extension of time shall in such case be included in computing any interest if payable along with such payment.

(b) Prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall apply payments received or collected from any Borrower or any other Credit Party or for the account of any Borrower or any other Credit Party (including the monetary proceeds of collections or of realization upon any Collateral) as follows: first, to the payment in full of any fees, indemnities or expense reimbursements then due to the Administrative Agent from any Borrower or any other Credit Party; second, ratably, to the payment in full of any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements then due to the Lenders and the Issuing Lender from any Borrower or any other Credit Party, other than fees, indemnities and expenses reimbursements incurred solely in connection with any Bank Products; third, ratably, to the payment in full of interest due in respect of any Loans (and including any Agent Advances) and L/C Obligations; fourth, to the payment in full of principal in respect of Agent Advances; fifth, to the payment in full of principal in respect of the Swingline Loans; sixth, ratably, to the payment in full of principal in respect of the Revolving Credit Loans and to pay Obligations then due arising under or pursuant to any Bank Products of a Borrower or another Credit Party with a Bank Product Provider (up to the amount of any then effective Reserve established in respect of such Obligations); and seventh, to pay or prepay any other Obligations, whether or not then due, in such order and manner as the Administrative Borrower requests so long as no Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, otherwise as the Administrative Agent directs and for the Administrative Agent to hold as cash collateral in respect of the L/C Obligations.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents which may be construed to the contrary, subsequent to the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall apply payments received or collected from any Borrower or any other Credit Party or for the account of any Borrower or any other Credit Party (including the monetary proceeds of collections or of realization upon any Collateral) as follows: first, to the payment in full of any fees, indemnities or expense reimbursements then due to the Administrative Agent from any Borrower or any other Credit Party; second, ratably, to the payment in full of any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements then due to the Lenders and the Issuing Lender from any Borrower or any other Credit Party, other than fees, indemnities and expenses reimbursements incurred solely in connection with any Bank Products; third, ratably, to the payment in full of interest due in respect of any Revolving Credit Loans, Swingline Loans, Agent Advances and L/C Obligations; fourth, to the payment in full of principal in respect of Agent Advances; fifth, to the payment in full of principal in respect of the Swingline Loans; sixth, ratably, to the payment in full of principal in respect of the Revolving Credit Loans and to pay or prepay Obligations then due arising under or pursuant to any Bank Products of a Borrower or another Credit Party with a Bank Product Provider (up to the amount of any then effective Reserve established in respect of such Obligations); seventh, to the payment in full of cash collateral in respect of the L/C Obligations until the aggregate amount thereof equals one hundred five (105%) percent of the aggregate undrawn amount of all then outstanding Letters of Credit through the end of the latest expiration date of such Letters of Credit plus the amount of any other contingent Obligations (but not including for this purpose any Obligations arising under or pursuant to any Bank Products); and eighth, to pay or prepay any other Obligations whether or not then due, in such order and manner as the Administrative Agent determines.

SECTION 6.5 Evidence of Indebtedness.

(a) Extensions of Credit. The Extensions of Credit made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the aggregate amount of the Extensions of Credit made by the Lenders to the Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Revolving Credit Note or Swingline Note, as applicable, which shall evidence such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans or Swingline Loans, as applicable, in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Notes and endorse thereon the date, amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto. Each Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, from time to time without prior notice to the Borrowers, at the Administrative Agent’s option, to charge all principal, interest, fees, costs, expenses and other charges provided for in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents directly to the loan account(s) of any Borrower maintained by the Administrative Agent, which amounts thereafter shall constitute Loans hereunder and shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Loans that are Base Rate Loans; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall endeavor to notify the Administrative Borrower prior to any such charge in respect of out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses, although the failure of the Administrative Agent to deliver such notice shall neither be considered a breach of this Agreement nor affect the validity of the Administrative Agent’s right to charge such fees, costs and expenses as provided herein. If after receipt of any payment of, or proceeds of Collateral applied to the payment of, any of the Obligations, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender is required to surrender or return such payment or proceeds to any Person for any reason, then the Obligations intended to be satisfied by such payment or proceeds shall be reinstated and continue and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Lender. The Credit Parties shall be liable to pay to the Administrative Agent, and do hereby agree to indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent and the other members of the Lender Group harmless for the amount of any payments or proceeds surrendered or returned. This Section 6.5(a) shall remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may be taken by the Administrative Agent or any other member of the Lender Group in reliance upon such payment or proceeds. The preceding two (2) sentences of this Section 6.5(a) shall survive the payment of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(b) Participations. In addition to the accounts and records referred to in Section 6.5(a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit, Agent Advances and Swingline Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

SECTION 6.6 Adjustments. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations (other than pursuant to Section 6.9, 6.10, 6.11 or 15.2) greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them; provided that

(a) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and

(b) the provisions of this Section 6.6 shall not be construed to apply to (i) any payment made by any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (ii) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit to any assignee or participant.

Each Credit Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under Applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each Credit Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Credit Party in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 6.7 Nature of Obligations of Lenders Regarding Extensions of Credit; Assumption by the Administrative Agent. The obligations of the Lenders under this Agreement to make the Loans and issue or participate in Letters of Credit are several and are not joint or joint and several. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender prior to a proposed borrowing date that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of the amount to be borrowed on such date (which notice shall not release such Lender from its obligations hereunder), the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the proposed borrowing date in accordance with Section 2.3(b), and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers on such date a corresponding amount. If such amount is made available to the Administrative Agent on a date after such borrowing date, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent on demand an amount, until paid, equal to the product of (a) the amount not made available by such Lender in accordance with the terms hereof, multiplied by (b) the daily average Federal Funds Rate during such period as determined by the Administrative Agent, multiplied by (c) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse from and including such borrowing date to the date on which such amount not made available by such Lender in accordance with the terms hereof shall have become immediately available to the Administrative Agent and the denominator of which is three hundred sixty (360). A certificate of the Administrative Agent with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 6.7 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three (3) Business Days after such borrowing date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount made available by the Administrative Agent with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to such borrowing hereunder, on demand, from any Borrower. The failure of any Lender to make available its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any Loan requested by any Borrower shall not relieve it or any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such Loan available on the borrowing date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such Loan available on the borrowing date. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, any Lender that fails to make available its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage shall not (a) have any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document or (b) constitute a “Lender” (or be included in the calculation of Required Lenders hereunder) for any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document.

SECTION 6.8 Changed Circumstances.

(a) Circumstances Affecting LIBOR Rate Availability. If with respect to any Interest Period the Administrative Agent or any Lender (after consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall determine that, by reason of circumstances affecting the foreign exchange and interbank markets generally, deposits in eurodollars in the applicable amounts are not being quoted as described in the definition of LIBOR or offered to the Administrative Agent or such Lender for such Interest Period, then the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Administrative Borrower. Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Administrative Borrower that such circumstances no longer exist, the obligation of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans and the right of the Borrowers to convert any Loan to or continue any Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be suspended, and the Borrowers shall repay in full (or cause to be repaid in full) the then outstanding principal amount of each such LIBOR Rate Loan together with accrued interest thereon, on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan or convert the then outstanding principal amount of each such LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan as of the last day of such Interest Period.

(b) Laws Affecting LIBOR Rate Availability. If, after the date hereof, the introduction of, or any change in, any Applicable Law or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, shall make it unlawful or impossible for any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) to honor its obligations hereunder to make or maintain any LIBOR Rate Loan, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to the Administrative Borrower and the other Lenders. Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Administrative Borrower that such circumstances no longer exist, (i) the obligations of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans and the right of the Borrowers to convert any Loan or continue any Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be suspended and thereafter the Borrowers may select only Base Rate Loans hereunder, and (ii) if any of the Lenders may not lawfully continue to maintain a LIBOR Rate Loan to the end of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto as a LIBOR Rate Loan, the applicable LIBOR Rate Loan shall immediately be converted to a Base Rate Loan for the remainder of such Interest Period.

SECTION 6.9 Indemnity. Each Borrower hereby indemnifies each of the Lenders against any loss or expense which may arise or be attributable to each Lender’s obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits or other funds acquired to effect, fund or maintain any Loan (a) as a consequence of any failure by any Borrower to make any payment when due of any amount due hereunder in connection with a LIBOR Rate Loan, (b) due to any failure of any Borrower to borrow, continue or convert on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation or (c) due to any payment, prepayment or conversion of any LIBOR Rate Loan on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor. The amount of such loss or expense shall, with respect to any Lender, be deemed to equal the amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (a) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such LIBOR Rate Loan had such event not occurred, at the LIBOR Rate that would have been applicable thereto, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert, or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period therefor), minus (b) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would be offered were it to be offered, at the commencement of such period, Dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period in the London interbank market. A certificate of such Lender setting forth the basis for determining such amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender shall be forwarded to the Administrative Borrower through the Administrative Agent and shall be conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest error.

SECTION 6.10 Increased Costs.

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

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or advances, loans or other credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the LIBOR Rate) or the Issuing Lender;

(ii) subject any Lender or the Issuing Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any LIBOR Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or the Issuing Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 6.11 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or the Issuing Lender); or

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

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting into or maintaining any LIBOR Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Lender of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Issuing Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or the Issuing Lender, the Borrowers shall promptly pay to any such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

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

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 6.10(a) or 6.10(b) and delivered to any Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 6.10 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section 6.10 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, notifies any Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

SECTION 6.11 Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes); provided that if any Borrower shall be required by Applicable Law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 6.11) the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrowers shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrowers shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

(b) Payment of Indemnified Taxes by the Borrowers. Without limiting the provisions of Section 6.11(a), the Borrowers shall timely pay any Indemnified Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

(c) Indemnification by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Issuing Lender, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 6.11) paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Administrative Borrower by a Lender or the Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the Issuing Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

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

(e) Status of Lenders. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which any Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Administrative Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Administrative Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by Applicable Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Administrative Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Administrative Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that any Borrower is a resident for tax purposes in the United States, any Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

(i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,

(ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,

(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of any Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or

(iv) any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrowers to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the Issuing Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers or with respect to which the Borrowers have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 6.11, it shall pay to the Borrowers an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrowers under this Section 6.11 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrowers, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Lender, agree to repay the amount paid over to the Borrowers (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Lender in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 6.11(f) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrowers or any other Person.

(g) Survival. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations contained in this Section 6.11 shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of the Commitments.

SECTION 6.12 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 6.10, or requires the Borrowers to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 6.11, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 6.10 or 6.11, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 6.10, (ii) the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 6.11, (iii) any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder or honor its participation obligation with respect to Letters of Credit hereunder, or (iv) any Lender that is not the Administrative Agent or an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent does not consent to any amendment, waiver or consent to any Loan Document for which the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained but that requires the consent of all Lenders, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 15.9), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that

(i) the Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 15.9;

(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in Letters of Credit, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 6.9) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts);

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 6.10 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 6.11, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

(iv) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

(d) Compliance of Agreement, Loan Documents and Borrowing with Laws, Etc. The execution, delivery and performance by each Credit Party and each of its Subsidiaries of the Loan Documents to which each such Person is a party, in accordance with their respective terms, the Extensions of Credit hereunder and the transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not, by the passage of time, the giving of notice or otherwise, (i) require any Governmental Approval or violate any Applicable Law relating to any Credit Party or any of their Subsidiaries, (ii) conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute a default under the articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational documents of any Credit Party or any of their Subsidiaries or any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which such Person is a party or by which any of its properties may be bound or any Governmental Approval relating to such Person, (iii) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien upon or with respect to any property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Person other than Liens arising under the Loan Documents or (iv) require any consent or authorization of, filing with, or other act in respect of, an arbitrator or Governmental Authority and no consent of any other Person is required in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement.

Best rating of “A” or better and being in a size category of VI or larger or otherwise acceptable to the Administrative Agent. In addition to the foregoing, each Credit Party further agrees to maintain and pay for insurance upon all goods constituting Collateral wherever located, in storage or in transit in vehicles, vessels or aircraft, including goods evidenced by documents, covering casualty, hazard, public liability and such other risks and in such amounts as would be customary for companies in the same industry and of comparable size as the Credit Parties, from financially sound and reputable insurance companies having and maintaining an A.M.

113

SECTION 13.3 Rights and Remedies Cumulative; Non-Waiver; etc. The enumeration of the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders set forth in this Agreement is not intended to be exhaustive and the exercise by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of any right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies, all of which shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to any other right or remedy given hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or that may now or hereafter exist at law or in equity or by suit or otherwise. No delay or failure to take action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege or shall be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default. No course of dealing between any Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders or their respective agents or employees shall be effective to change, modify or discharge any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or to constitute a waiver of any Event of Default.

SECTION 13.4 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Credit Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on any Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 3.3, 6.3 and 15.2) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 6.3 and 15.2.

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

114

SECTION 13.5 Collateral Enforcement Actions. If the Administrative Agent commences any action or proceeding with respect to any of its rights or remedies (including any action of foreclosure, enforcement, collection or execution) with respect to the Collateral (“Collateral Enforcement Actions”), then the Credit Parties shall (a) permit the Administrative Agent (or its agents) to access any of the locations of the Credit Parties or their Subsidiaries, (b) not hinder or restrict the Administrative Agent from finishing any work-in process, processing, shipping, producing, storing, completing, supplying, leasing, selling or otherwise handling, dealing with, assembling or disposing of, in any lawful manner, the Collateral, and (c) permit the Administrative Agent, its employees, advisers and representatives, at the cost and expense of the Credit Parties, to enter upon and use the assets of the Credit Parties not constituting Collateral (including equipment, processors, computers and other machinery related to the storage or processing of records, documents or files and intellectual property) for such purposes, until the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of the Commitments. If the Administrative Agent has commenced any Collateral Enforcement Action, no Credit Party shall, nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, sell, assign or otherwise transfer any of such assets until the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of the Commitments.

ARTICLE 14.

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

SECTION 14.1 Appointment and Authorization of the Administrative Agent. Each Lender hereby designates and appoints WFCF as its agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to designate, appoint, and authorize) the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver each of the other Loan Documents on its behalf and to take such other action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent agrees to act as agent for and on behalf of the Lenders (and the Bank Product Providers) on the conditions contained in this Section 14. Any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents, nor shall the Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender (or Bank Product Provider), and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only a representative relationship between independent contracting parties. Each Lender hereby further authorizes (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to authorize) the Administrative Agent to act as the secured party under each of the Loan Documents that create a Lien on any item of Collateral. Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have and may use its sole discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any discretionary rights or taking or refraining from taking any actions that the Administrative Agent expressly is entitled to take or assert under or pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, or of any other provision of the Loan Documents that provides rights or powers to the Administrative Agent, Lenders agree that the Administrative Agent shall have the right to exercise the following powers as long as this Agreement remains in effect: (a) maintain, in accordance with its customary business practices, ledgers and records reflecting the status of the Obligations, the Collateral, and related matters, (b) execute or file any and all financing or similar statements or notices, amendments, renewals, supplements, documents, instruments, proofs of claim, notices and other written agreements with respect to the Loan Documents, (c) make Loans, for itself or on behalf of Lenders, as provided in the Loan Documents, (d) open and maintain such bank accounts and cash management arrangements as the Administrative Agent deems necessary and appropriate in accordance with the Loan Documents for the foregoing purposes with respect to the Collateral, (e) perform, exercise, and enforce any and all other rights and remedies of the Lender Group with respect to Borrowers or their Subsidiaries, the Obligations, the Collateral, or otherwise related to any of same as provided in the Loan Documents, and (g) incur and pay such Lender Group Expenses as the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions and powers pursuant to the Loan Documents.

115

SECTION 14.2 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys in fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney in fact that it selects as long as such selection was made without gross negligence or willful misconduct.

SECTION 14.3 Liability of the Administrative Agent. None of the Agent-Related Persons shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders (or Bank Product Providers) for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or any officer or director thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of any Borrower or its Subsidiaries or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lenders (or Bank Product Providers) to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the books and records or properties of any Borrower or its Subsidiaries.

116

SECTION 14.4 Reliance by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission, telex or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent, or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to Borrowers or counsel to any Lender), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless the Administrative Agent shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Lenders as it deems appropriate and until such instructions are received, the Administrative Agent shall act, or refrain from acting, as it deems advisable. If the Administrative Agent so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Lenders (and, if it so elects, the Bank Product Providers) against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Lenders (and Bank Product Providers).

SECTION 14.5 Notice of Default or Event of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest, fees, and expenses required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders and, except with respect to Events of Default of which the Administrative Agent has actual knowledge, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or any Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default, and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Administrative Agent promptly will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice or of any Event of Default of which the Administrative Agent has actual knowledge. If any Lender obtains actual knowledge of any Event of Default, such Lender promptly shall notify the other Lenders and the Administrative Agent of such Event of Default. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for giving any notices to its Participants, if any. Subject to Section 14.4, the Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Required Lenders in accordance with Section 13; provided, however, that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such request, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable.

117

SECTION 14.6 Credit Decision. Each Lender (and Bank Product Provider) acknowledges that none of the Agent-Related Persons has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of any Borrower and its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender (or Bank Product Provider). Each Lender represents (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to represent) to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such due diligence, documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of any Borrower or any other Person party to a Loan Document, and all applicable bank regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to Borrowers. Each Lender also represents (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to represent) that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of any Borrower or any other Person party to a Loan Document. Except for notices, reports, and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender (or Bank Product Provider) with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any Borrower or any other Person party to a Loan Document that may come into the possession of any of the Agent-Related Persons. Each Lender acknowledges (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to acknowledge) that the Administrative Agent does not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis (except to the extent, if any, that is expressly specified herein) to provide such Lender (or Bank Product Provider) with any credit or other information with respect to any Borrower, its Affiliates or any of their respective business, legal, financial or other affairs, and irrespective of whether such information came into the Administrative Agent's or its Affiliates’ or representatives’ possession before or after the date on which such Lender became a party to this Agreement (or such Bank Product Provider entered into a Bank Product Agreement).

SECTION 14.7 Costs and Expenses; Indemnification. The Administrative Agent may incur and pay expenses to the extent the Administrative Agent reasonably deems necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions, powers, and obligations pursuant to the Loan Documents, including court costs, attorneys fees and expenses, fees and expenses of financial accountants, advisors, consultants, and appraisers, costs of collection by outside collection agencies, auctioneer fees and expenses, and costs of security guards or insurance premiums paid to maintain the Collateral, whether or not Borrowers are obligated to reimburse the Administrative Agent or Lenders for such expenses pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise. The Administrative Agent is authorized and directed to deduct and retain sufficient amounts from the amounts of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries received by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Administrative Agent for such out-of-pocket costs and expenses prior to the distribution of any amounts to Lenders (or Bank Product Providers). In the event the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such costs and expenses by Borrowers or their Subsidiaries, each Lender hereby agrees that it is and shall be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s ratable thereof. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each of the Lenders, on a ratable basis, shall indemnify and defend the Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of Borrowers to do so) from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting solely from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct nor shall any Lender be liable for the obligations of any Defaulting Lender in failing to make a Loan or other extension of credit hereunder. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for such Lender’s ratable share of any costs or out of pocket expenses (including attorneys, accountants, advisors, and consultants fees and expenses) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Borrowers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Lenders shall be liable and indemnify Agent-Related Persons only for Indemnified Liabilities and other costs and expenses that relate to or arise from an Agent-Related Person acting as or for the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as the Administrative Agent). The undertaking in this Section shall survive the payment of all Obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 14.8 Administrative Agent in Individual Capacity. WFCF and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, provide Bank Products to, acquire equity interests in, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting, or other business with Borrowers and their Subsidiaries and Affiliates and any other Person party to any Loan Document as though WFCF were not the Administrative Agent hereunder, and, in each case, without notice to or consent of the other members of the Lender Group. The other members of the Lender Group acknowledge (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to acknowledge) that, pursuant to such activities, WFCF or its Affiliates may receive information regarding Borrowers or their Affiliates or any other Person party to any Loan Documents that is subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of Borrowers or such other Person and that prohibit the disclosure of such information to the Lenders (or Bank Product Providers), and the Lenders acknowledge (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to acknowledge) that, in such circumstances (and in the absence of a waiver of such confidentiality obligations, which waiver the Administrative Agent will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain), the Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to them. The terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include WFCF in its individual capacity.

119

SECTION 14.9 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as the Administrative Agent upon 30 days prior written notice to the Lenders (unless such notice is waived by the Required Lenders) and Administrative Borrower (unless such notice is waived by Borrowers) and without any notice to the Bank Product Providers. If the Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall be entitled, with (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) the consent of Administrative Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned), to appoint a successor Administrative Agent for the Lenders (and the Bank Product Providers) from the Lenders (unless no Lender is willing to accept such appointment). If, at the time that the Administrative Agent’s resignation is effective, it is acting as the Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender, such resignation shall also operate to effectuate its resignation as the Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender, as applicable, and it shall automatically be relieved of any further obligation to issue Letters of Credit, or to make Swingline Loans. If no successor Administrative Agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and Administrative Borrower, a successor Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent has materially breached or failed to perform any material provision of this Agreement or of applicable law, the Required Lenders may agree in writing to remove and replace the Administrative Agent with a successor Administrative Agent from among the Lenders with (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) the consent of Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned). In any such event, upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers, and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor Administrative Agent and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers, and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 14 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no successor Administrative Agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above.

SECTION 14.10 Lender in Individual Capacity. Any Lender and its respective Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, provide Bank Products to, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting, or other business with any Borrower and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and any other Person party to any Loan Documents as though such Lender were not a Lender hereunder without notice to or consent of the other members of the Lender Group (or the Bank Product Providers). The other members of the Lender Group acknowledge (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to acknowledge) that, pursuant to such activities, such Lender and its respective Affiliates may receive information regarding Borrowers or their Affiliates or any other Person party to any Loan Documents that is subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of Borrowers or such other Person and that prohibit the disclosure of such information to the Lenders, and the Lenders acknowledge (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to acknowledge) that, in such circumstances (and in the absence of a waiver of such confidentiality obligations, which waiver such Lender will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain), such Lender shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to them.

120

SECTION 14.11 Collateral Matters.

The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to authorize) the Administrative Agent to release any Lien on any Collateral (i) upon the termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction in full by Borrowers of all of the Obligations, (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if a release is required or desirable in connection therewith and if Borrowers certify to the Administrative Agent that the sale or disposition is permitted under Section 12.5 (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry), (iii) constituting property in which no Borrower and no Subsidiary of Borrowers owned any interest at the time the Administrative Agent’s Lien was granted nor at any time thereafter, or (iv) constituting property leased to any Borrower or its Subsidiaries under a lease that has expired or is terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement. The Loan Parties and the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to authorize) the Administrative Agent, based upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, to (a) consent to, credit bid or purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, (b) credit bid or purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale or other disposition thereof conducted under the provisions of the UCC, including pursuant to Sections 9-610 or 9-620 of the UCC, or (c) credit bid or purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral at any other sale or foreclosure conducted by the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with applicable law. In connection with any such credit bid or purchase, the Obligations owed to the Lenders and the Bank Product Providers shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims being estimated for such purpose if the fixing or liquidation thereof would not unduly delay the ability of the Administrative Agent to credit bid or purchase at such sale or other disposition of the Collateral and, if such claims cannot be estimated without unduly delaying the ability of the Administrative Agent to credit bid, then such claims shall be disregarded, not credit bid, and not entitled to any interest in the asset or assets purchased by means of such credit bid) and the Lenders and the Bank Product Providers whose Obligations are credit bid shall be entitled to receive interests (ratably based upon the proportion of their Obligations credit bid in relation to the aggregate amount of Obligations so credit bid) in the asset or assets so purchased (or in the Equity Interests of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are used to consummate such purchase). Except as provided above, the Administrative Agent will not execute and deliver a release of any Lien on any Collateral without the prior written authorization of (y) if the release is of all or substantially all of the Collateral, all of the Lenders (without requiring the authorization of the Bank Product Providers), or (z) otherwise, the Required Lenders (without requiring the authorization of the Bank Product Providers). Upon request by the Administrative Agent or any Borrower at any time, the Lenders will (and if so requested, the Bank Product Providers will) confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release any such Liens on particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 14.11; provided, however, that (1) the Administrative Agent shall not be required to execute any document necessary to evidence such release on terms that, in the Administrative Agent’s opinion, would expose the Administrative Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Lien without recourse, representation, or warranty, and (2) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of any Borrower in respect of) all interests retained by any Borrower, including, the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. The Lenders further hereby irrevocably authorize (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to authorize) the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its sole discretion, to subordinate any Lien granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Permitted Lien on such property if such Permitted Lien secures purchase money Debt.

121

The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any of the Lenders (or the Bank Product Providers) to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by a Borrower or its Subsidiaries or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Administrative Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or that any particular items of Collateral meet the eligibility criteria applicable in respect thereof or whether to impose, maintain, reduce, or eliminate any particular reserve hereunder or whether the amount of any such reserve is appropriate or not, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Administrative Agent pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission, or event related thereto, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, the Administrative Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion given the Administrative Agent’s own interest in the Collateral in its capacity as one of the Lenders and that the Administrative Agent shall have no other duty or liability whatsoever to any Lender (or Bank Product Provider) as to any of the foregoing, except as otherwise provided herein.

SECTION 14.12 Agency for Perfection. The Administrative Agent hereby appoints each other Lender (and each Bank Product Provider) as its agent (and each Lender hereby accepts (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to accept) such appointment) for the purpose of perfecting the Administrative Agent’s Liens in assets which, in accordance with Article 8 or Article 9, as applicable, of the UCC can be perfected by possession or control. Should any Lender obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Administrative Agent’s request therefor shall deliver possession or control of such Collateral to the Administrative Agent or in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s instructions.

SECTION 14.13 Payments by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders. All payments to be made by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders (or Bank Product Providers) shall be made by bank wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to such wire transfer instructions as each party may designate for itself by written notice to the Administrative Agent. Concurrently with each such payment, the Administrative Agent shall identify whether such payment (or any portion thereof) represents principal, premium, fees, or interest of the Obligations.

SECTION 14.14 Concerning the Collateral and Related Loan Documents. Each member of the Lender Group authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each member of the Lender Group agrees (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to agree) that any action taken by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents relating to the Collateral and the exercise by the Administrative Agent of its powers set forth therein or herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Lenders (and such Bank Product Provider).

122

SECTION 14.15 Audits and Examination Reports; Confidentiality; Disclaimers by Lenders; Other Reports and Information. By becoming a party to this Agreement, each Lender:

(a) is deemed to have requested that the Administrative Agent furnish such Lender, promptly after it becomes available, a copy of each field audit or examination report respecting any Borrower or its Subsidiaries (each, a “Report”) prepared by or at the request of the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall so furnish each Lender with such Reports,

(b) expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Administrative Agent does not (i) make any representation or warranty as to the accuracy of any Report, and (ii) shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report,

(c) expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, that the Administrative Agent or other party performing any audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding a Borrower and its Subsidiaries and will rely significantly upon each Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ books and records, as well as on representations of each Borrower’s personnel,

(d) agrees to keep all Reports and other material, non-public information regarding each Borrower and its Subsidiaries and their operations, assets, and existing and contemplated business plans in a confidential manner in accordance with Section 15.10, and

(e) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, agrees: (i) to hold the Administrative Agent and any other Lender preparing a Report harmless from any action the indemnifying Lender may take or fail to take or any conclusion the indemnifying Lender may reach or draw from any Report in connection with any loans or other credit accommodations that the indemnifying Lender has made or may make to Borrowers, or the indemnifying Lender’s participation in, or the indemnifying Lender’s purchase of, a loan or loans of Borrowers, and (ii) to pay and protect, and indemnify, defend and hold the Administrative Agent, and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including, attorneys fees and costs) incurred by the Administrative Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender.

In addition to the foregoing: (x) any Lender may from time to time request of the Administrative Agent in writing that the Administrative Agent provide to such Lender a copy of any report or document provided by any Borrower or its Subsidiaries to the Administrative Agent that has not been contemporaneously provided by any Borrower or such Subsidiary to such Lender, and, upon receipt of such request, the Administrative Agent promptly shall provide a copy of same to such Lender, (y) to the extent that the Administrative Agent is entitled, under any provision of the Loan Documents, to request additional reports or information from any Borrower or such Subsidiary, any Lender may, from time to time, reasonably request that the Administrative Agent to exercise such right as specified in such Lender’s notice to the Administrative Agent, whereupon the Administrative Agent promptly shall request of such Borrower the additional reports or information reasonably specified by such Lender, and, upon receipt thereof from such Borrower or its Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent promptly shall provide a copy of same to such Lender, and (z) any time that the Administrative Agent renders to any Borrower a statement regarding the Loan Account, the Administrative Agent shall send a copy of such statement to each Lender.

123

SECTION 14.16 Several Obligations; No Liability. Notwithstanding that certain of the Loan Documents now or hereafter may have been or will be executed only by or in favor of the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such, and not by or in favor of the Lenders, any and all obligations on the part of the Administrative Agent (if any) to make any credit available hereunder shall constitute the several (and not joint) obligations of the respective Lenders on a ratable basis, according to their respective Commitments, to make an amount of such credit not to exceed, in principal amount, at any one time outstanding, the amount of their respective Commitments. Nothing contained herein shall confer upon any Lender any interest in, or subject any Lender to any liability for, or in respect of, the business, assets, profits, losses, or liabilities of any other Lender. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for notifying its Participants of any matters relating to the Loan Documents to the extent any such notice may be required, and no Lender shall have any obligation, duty, or liability to any Participant of any other Lender. Except as provided in Section 14.7, no member of the Lender Group shall have any liability for the acts of any other member of the Lender Group. No Lender shall be responsible to any Borrower or any other Person for any failure by any other Lender (or Bank Product Provider) to fulfill its obligations to make credit available hereunder, nor to advance for such Lender (or Bank Product Provider) or on its behalf, nor to take any other action on behalf of such Lender (or Bank Product Provider) hereunder or in connection with the financing contemplated herein.

(b) Indemnification by the Borrowers. Each Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender and the Issuing Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by any Borrower arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Lender to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Claim related in any way to any Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by a Borrower, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (each and all of the foregoing, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by any Borrower or any other Credit Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if such Borrower or such Credit Party has obtained a final and non-appealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

Each Lender, the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

SECTION 15.4 Governing Law.

This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, unless otherwise expressly set forth therein, shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with and all issues related to the legality, validity or enforceability hereof and thereof shall be determined under the laws of the State of North Carolina, without reference to the conflicts of choice of law principles thereof.

128

(c) Waiver of Venue. Each Borrower and each other Credit Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in Section 15.4(b).

Notwithstanding anything foregoing to the contrary, any arbitration proceeding demanded hereunder shall begin within ninety (90) days after such demand therefor and shall be concluded within one hundred twenty (120) days after such demand. These time limitations may not be extended unless a party hereto shows cause for extension and then such extension shall not exceed a total of sixty (60) days. The panel from which all arbitrators are selected shall be comprised of licensed attorneys selected from the Commercial Financial Dispute Arbitration Panel of the AAA. The single arbitrator selected for expedited procedure shall be a retired judge from the highest court of general jurisdiction, state or federal, of the state where the hearing will be conducted. The parties hereto do not waive any applicable federal or state substantive law except as provided herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this paragraph shall not apply to any Hedging Agreement.

129

(c) Preservation of Certain Remedies. Notwithstanding the preceding binding arbitration provisions, the parties hereto and the other Loan Documents preserve, without diminution, certain remedies that such Persons may employ or exercise freely, either alone, in conjunction with or during a Dispute. Each such Person shall have and hereby reserves the right to proceed in any court of proper jurisdiction or by self help to exercise or prosecute the following remedies, as applicable: (i) all rights to foreclose against any real or personal property or other security by exercising a power of sale granted in the Loan Documents or under Applicable Law or by judicial foreclosure and sale, including a proceeding to confirm the sale, (ii) all rights of self help including peaceful occupation of property and collection of rents, set off, and peaceful possession of property, (iii) obtaining provisional or ancillary remedies including injunctive relief, sequestration, garnishment, attachment, appointment of receiver and in filing an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding, and (iv) when applicable, a judgment by confession of judgment. Preservation of these remedies does not limit the power of an arbitrator to grant similar remedies that may be requested by a party in a Dispute.

SECTION 15.6 Reversal of Payments. To the extent any Borrower makes a payment or payments to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent receives any payment or proceeds of the collateral which payments or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state, provincial or federal (United States or Canada) law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 15.7 Injunctive Relief. Each Borrower recognizes that, in the event any Borrower fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, any remedy of law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Lenders. Therefore, each Borrower agrees that the Lenders, at the Lenders’ option, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages.

SECTION 15.8 Accounting Matters. All financial and accounting calculations, measurements and computations made for any purpose relating to this Agreement, including all computations utilized by the Parent or any Subsidiary thereof to determine compliance with any covenant contained herein, shall, except as otherwise expressly contemplated hereby or unless there is an express written direction by the Administrative Agent to the contrary agreed to by the Parent, be performed in accordance with GAAP as in effect on the Closing Date. In the event that changes in GAAP shall be mandated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or any similar accounting body of comparable standing, or shall be recommended by the Parent’s certified public accountants, to the extent that such changes would modify such accounting terms or the interpretation or computation thereof, such changes shall be followed in defining such accounting terms only from and after the date the Borrowers and the Required Lenders shall have amended this Agreement to the extent necessary to reflect any such changes in the financial covenants and other terms and conditions of this Agreement.

130

SECTION 15.9 Successors and Assigns; Register; Participations.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Borrower nor any other Credit Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 15.9(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 15.9(d) or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 15.9(f) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 15.9(d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all, or any ratable portion of all, of the Obligations, the Commitments and the other rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided that

(i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless such assignment is made to an existing Lender or to an Affiliate thereof, in which case no minimum amount shall apply, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Borrower shall otherwise consent (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that the Administrative Borrower shall be deemed to have given its consent five (5) Business Days after the date written notice thereof has been delivered by the assigning Lender (through the Administrative Agent) unless such consent is expressly refused by the Administrative Borrower prior to such fifth (5th) Business Day;

131

(ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned;

(iii) any assignment must be approved by the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Lender unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender; and

(iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 15.9(c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 6.8, 6.9, 6.10, 6.11 and 15.2 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 15.9(b) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 15.9(d).

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices in Chicago, Illinois, a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender, with respect to such Lender’s information contained therein, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or any Borrower or any Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all, or any ratable portion of all, of the Obligations, the Commitments and the other rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

132

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver or modification described in Section 15.11 that directly affects such Participant. Subject to Section 15.9(e), each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 6.8, 6.9, 6.10 and 6.11 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 15.9(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 15.3 as though it were a Lender; provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 6.6 as though it were a Lender.

(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 6.9 and 6.10 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Administrative Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 6.11 unless the Administrative Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 6.11(e) as though it were a Lender.

(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

SECTION 15.10 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to the directors, officers, employees and agents of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by, or required to be disclosed to, any rating agency, or regulatory or similar authority (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by Applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document (or any Lender Hedging Agreement) or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (or any Lender Hedging Agreement) or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 15.10, to (i) any purchasing Lender, proposed purchasing Lender, Participant or proposed Participant or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to any Borrower and any Borrower’s obligations, (g) with the consent of the Parent, (h) to Gold Sheets and other similar bank trade publications, such information to consist of deal terms and other information customarily found in such publications, or (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 15.10 or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than a Borrower. For purposes of this Section 15.10, “Information” means all information received from any Borrower, any Subsidiary thereof or any of their respective Affiliates relating to any Borrower, any Subsidiary thereof or any of their respective Affiliates or businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by any Borrower or any Subsidiary. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 15.10 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

133

SECTION 15.11 Amendments, Waivers and Consents. Except as set forth below or as specifically provided in any Loan Document, any term, covenant, agreement or condition of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents may be amended or waived by the Lenders, and any consent given by the Lenders, if, but only if, such amendment, waiver or consent is in writing signed by the Required Lenders (or by the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) and delivered to the Administrative Agent and, in the case of an amendment, signed by each Borrower; provided, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall:

(a) except as otherwise provided in Article 2, waive any condition set forth in Section 7.2 without the written consent of each Lender;

(b) extend or increase the Commitment of any Lender (or reinstate any Commitment terminated pursuant to Section 13.2) or, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.7, the amount of Loans of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender;

(c) postpone any date fixed by this Agreement or any other Loan Document for any payment (excluding mandatory prepayments) of principal, interest, fees or other amounts due to the Lenders (or any of them) hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

(d) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein on, any Loan or the Reimbursement Obligation, or (subject to clause (iv) of the second proviso to this Section 15.11) any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; provided that (i) only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to waive any obligation of the Borrowers to pay interest at the rate set forth in Section 6.1(c) during the continuance of an Event of Default, and (ii) only the consent of the Supermajority Lenders shall be necessary to amend the definition of Excess Availability (or any defined term used therein) even if the effect of such amendment would be to reduce the rate of interest on any Loan or L/C Obligation or to reduce any fee payable hereunder;

134

(e) change Section 6.4 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, or change the order of payment set forth in Section 6.4(b) or 6.4(c) without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby;

(f) change the definition of Borrowing Base or any of the defined terms (including the definitions of Eligible Accounts and Eligible Inventory) that are used in such definition to the extent that any such change results in more credit being made available to the Borrowers based upon the Borrowing Base, but not otherwise, or the definition of Aggregate Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender;

(g) change any provision of this Section 15.11 or the definition of Required Lenders or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to amend, waive or otherwise modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender;

(h) amend the definition of Eligible Assignee or Section 15.9 to permit a Credit Party or an Affiliate of a Credit Party to be permitted to become an Eligible Assignee without the written consent of each Lender;

(i) release all of the Subsidiary Guarantors or release Subsidiary Guarantors comprising substantially all of the credit support for the Obligations, in either case, from the guaranty set forth in Section 5 or any other guaranty of the Obligations (other than as authorized in Section 14.11), without the written consent of each Lender; or

(j) release all or a material portion of the Collateral or release any Security Document (other than as authorized in Section 14.11 or as otherwise specifically permitted or contemplated in this Agreement or the applicable Security Document) without the written consent of each Lender;

provided, further that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Issuing Lender in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the Issuing Lender under this Agreement or any Application relating to any Letter of Credit issued or to be issued by it; (ii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Swingline Lender in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the Swingline Lender under this Agreement; (iii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; and (iv) the Fee Letter may be amended, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed only by the parties thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that (x) the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended, (y) the principal of any Loan or the Reimbursement Obligation owing to such Defaulting Lender may not be waived, forgiven or reduced (unless all other Lenders affected thereby are treated similarly) and (z) the maturity date of any Loan may not be extended, without the consent of such Lender.

135

SECTION 15.12 Performance of Duties. Each of the Credit Party’s obligations under this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents shall be performed by such Credit Party at its sole cost and expense.

SECTION 15.13 All Powers Coupled with Interest. All powers of attorney and other authorizations granted to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and any Persons designated by the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be deemed coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable so long as any of the Obligations remain unpaid or unsatisfied, any of the Commitments remain in effect or the Credit Facility has not been terminated.

SECTION 15.14 Survival of Indemnities. Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, the indemnities to which the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are entitled under the provisions of this Article 15 and any other provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall continue in full force and effect and shall protect the Administrative Agent and the Lenders against events arising after such termination as well as before.

SECTION 15.15 Titles and Captions. Titles and captions of Articles, Sections, subsections and clauses in, and the table of contents of, this Agreement are for convenience only, and neither limit nor amplify the provisions of this Agreement.

SECTION 15.16 Severability of Provisions. Any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions hereof or thereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 15.17 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and shall be binding upon all parties and their successors and assigns, and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Any signatures delivered by a party by facsimile transmission or by other electronic method of transmission shall be deemed an original signature hereto. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile or by other electronic method of transmission also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of such agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement.

SECTION 15.18 Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.

136

SECTION 15.19 Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall remain in effect from the Closing Date through and including the date upon which all Obligations arising hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall have been indefeasibly and irrevocably paid and satisfied in full and all Commitments have been terminated. No termination of this Agreement shall affect the rights and obligations of the parties hereto arising prior to such termination or in respect of any provision of this Agreement which survives such termination.

SECTION 15.20 Advice of Counsel. Each of the parties represents to each other party hereto that it has discussed this Agreement with its counsel.

SECTION 15.21 No Strict Construction. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.

SECTION 15.22 Inconsistencies with Other Documents; Independent Effect of Covenants.

(a) In the event there is a conflict or inconsistency between this Agreement and any other Loan Document, the terms of this Agreement shall control; provided, that any provision of the Security Documents which imposes additional burdens on any Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries or further restricts the rights of any Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries or gives the Administrative Agent or Lenders additional rights shall not be deemed to be in conflict or inconsistent with this Agreement and shall be given full force and effect.

(b) Each Borrower expressly acknowledges and agrees that each covenant contained in Article 10, 11, or 12 shall be given independent effect. Accordingly, no Borrower shall engage in any transaction or other act otherwise permitted under any covenant contained in Article 10, 11, or 12 if, before or after giving effect to such transaction or act, any Borrower shall or would be in breach of any other covenant contained in Article 10, 11, or 12.

SECTION 15.23 Fax Transmission. A facsimile, telecopy or other reproduction of this Agreement may be executed by one or more parties hereto, and an executed copy of this Agreement may be delivered by one or more parties hereto by facsimile or similar instantaneous electronic transmission device pursuant to which the signature of or on behalf of such party can be seen, and such execution and delivery shall be considered valid, binding and effective for all purposes. At the request of any party hereto, all parties hereto agree to execute an original of this Agreement as well as any facsimile, telecopy or other reproduction hereof.

137

SECTION 15.24 Patriot Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA Patriot Act of 2001) (the “Act”) or other applicable anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financing, government sanction and “know your client” laws in Canada or elsewhere (collectively, the “AML Legislation”) hereby notifies Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the Act and the AML Legislation, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Borrower, which information includes the name and address of each Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify each Borrower, its directors, authorized signing officers, direct or indirect shareholders or other Persons in control of each Borrower and the transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with the Act and/or the AML Legislation. Each Borrower shall promptly provide all such information, including supporting documentation and other evidence, as may be reasonably requested by any Lender or the Administrative Agent, or any prospective assign or participant of a Lender or the Administrative Agent in order to comply with any applicable AML Legislation, whether now or hereafter in existence. In addition, if the Administrative Agent is required by law or regulation or internal policies to do so, it shall have the right to periodically conduct (a) Act searches, OFAC/PEP searches, and customary individual background checks for the Credit Parties and (b) OFAC/PEP searches and customary individual background checks for the Credit Parties’ senior management and key principals, and each Borrower agrees to cooperate in respect of the conduct of such searches and further agrees that the reasonable costs and charges for such searches shall constitute an expense under Section 15.2 and be for the account of Borrowers.

SECTION 15.25 Debtor-Creditor Relationship. The relationship between the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, on the one hand, and the Credit Parties, on the other hand, is solely that of creditor and debtor. No member of the Lender Group has (or shall be deemed to have) any fiduciary relationship or duty to any Credit Party arising out of or in connection with the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, and there is no agency or joint venture relationship between the members of the Lender Group, on the one hand, and the Credit Parties, on the other hand, by virtue of any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein.

SECTION 15.26 Parent as Agent for Borrowers. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Parent as the borrowing agent and attorney-in-fact for all Borrowers (the “Administrative Borrower”) which appointment shall remain in full force and effect unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received prior written notice signed by each Borrower that such appointment has been revoked and that another Borrower has been appointed the Administrative Borrower. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Borrower (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 and (b) to take such action as the Administrative Borrower 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. It is understood that the handling of the account maintained by the Administrative Agent as described in Section 6.5(a) and 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 Lender Group shall not incur liability to any Borrower as a result of the foregoing. Each Borrower expects to derive benefit, directly or indirectly, from the handling of the account maintained by the Administrative Agent as described in Section 6.5(a) and the Collateral in a combined fashion since the successful operation of each Borrower is dependent on the continued successful performance of the integrated group. To induce the Lender Group to do so, and in consideration thereof, each Borrower hereby jointly and severally agrees to indemnify each member of the Lender Group and hold each member of the Lender Group harmless against any and all liability, expense, loss or claim of damage or injury, made against the Lender Group by any Borrower or by any third party whosoever, arising from or incurred by reason of (a) the handling of the account maintained by the Administrative Agent as described in Section 6.5(a) and Collateral of the Borrowers as herein provided, (b) the Lender Group’s relying on any instructions of the Administrative Borrower, or (c) any other action taken by the Lender Group hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, except that the Borrowers will have no liability to the relevant Indemnitee under this Section 15.26 with respect to any liability that has been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

138

SECTION 15.27 Bank Product Providers. Each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed a third party beneficiary hereof and of the provisions of the other Loan Documents for purposes of any reference in a Loan Document to the parties for whom the Administrative Agent is acting. The Administrative Agent hereby agrees to act as agent for such Bank Product Providers and, by virtue of entering into a Bank Product Agreement, the applicable Bank Product Provider shall be automatically deemed to have appointed the Administrative Agent as its agent and to have accepted the benefits of the Loan Documents; it being understood and agreed that the rights and benefits of each Bank Product Provider under the Loan Documents consist exclusively of such Bank Product Provider’s being a beneficiary of the Liens and security interests (and, if applicable, guarantees) granted to the Administrative Agent and the right to share in payments and collections out of the Collateral as more fully set forth herein. In addition, each Bank Product Provider, by virtue of entering into a Bank Product Agreement, shall be automatically deemed to have agreed that the Administrative Agent shall have the right, but shall have no obligation, to establish, maintain, relax, or release the Bank Product Reserves and that if the Bank Product Reserves are established there is no obligation on the part of the Administrative Agent to determine or insure whether the amount of any such reserve is appropriate or not. In connection with any such distribution of payments or proceeds of Collateral, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume no amounts are due or owing to any Bank Product Provider unless such Bank Product Provider has provided a written certification (setting forth a reasonably detailed calculation) to the Administrative Agent as to the amounts that are due and owing to it and such written certification is received by the Administrative Agent a reasonable period of time prior to the making of such distribution. The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to calculate the amount due and payable with respect to any Bank Products, but may rely upon the written certification of the amount due and payable from the relevant Bank Product Provider. In the absence of an updated certification, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume that the amount due and payable to the relevant Bank Product Provider is the amount last certified to the Administrative Agent by such Bank Product Provider as being due and payable (less any distributions made to such Bank Product Provider on account thereof). Any Borrower may obtain Bank Products from any Bank Product Provider, although no Borrower is required to do so. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that no Bank Product Provider has committed to provide any Bank Products and that the providing of Bank Products by any Bank Product Provider is in the sole and absolute discretion of such Bank Product Provider. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no provider or holder of any Bank Product shall have any voting or approval rights hereunder (or be deemed a Lender) solely by virtue of its status as the provider or holder of such agreements or products or the Obligations owing thereunder, nor shall the consent of any such provider or holder be required (other than in their capacities as Lenders, to the extent applicable) for any matter hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, including as to any matter relating to the Collateral or the release of Collateral or Guarantors.

139

SECTION 15.28 Survival. All representations and warranties made by the Credit Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender, or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, LA-Z-BOY INCORPORATED, a Michigan corporation, XXXXXXX FURNITURE COMPANY, INCORPORATED, a Delaware corporation, ENGLAND, INC., a Michigan corporation, BAUHAUS U.S.A., INC., a Mississippi corporation, LA-Z-BOY CANADA LIMITED, an Ontario corporation, LA-Z-BOY GREENSBORO, INC., a North Carolina corporation and LZB MANUFACTURING, INC., a Michigan corporation (hereinafter, together with their respective successors and assigns, each of the foregoing is referred to individually as a “Borrower” and collectively as the “Borrowers”), hereby, jointly and severally, promises to pay to the order of [________________________] (hereinafter, together with its successors and assigns, the “Lender”), at the office of Administrative Agent (as defined below), in immediately available funds, the principal sum of [________________________] and [___]/100s DOLLARS ($[______________]) of United States funds, or, if less, so much thereof as may from time to time be advanced as Revolving Credit Loans by the Lender to the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement (as defined below), plus interest as hereinafter provided. Such Revolving Credit Loans may be endorsed from time to time on the grid attached hereto, but the failure to make such notations shall not affect the validity of the Borrowers’ obligation to repay unpaid principal and interest hereunder.

In no event shall the amount of interest due or payable hereunder exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by applicable law, and in the event any such payment is inadvertently made by any Borrower or inadvertently received by the Lender, then such excess sum shall be credited as a payment of principal, unless such Borrower shall notify the Lender in writing that it elects to have such excess sum returned forthwith. It is the express intent hereof that the Borrowers not pay, and the Lender not receive, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may legally be paid by the Borrowers under applicable law.

All parties now or hereafter liable with respect to this Revolving Note, whether any Borrower, any guarantor, endorser or any other Person, hereby waive presentment for payment, demand, notice of non-payment or dishonor, protest, notice of protest and notice of any other kind whatsoever.

No delay or omission on the part of the Lender or any holder hereof in exercising its rights under this Revolving Note, or delay or omission on the part of the Lender, Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Required Lenders, or any of them, in exercising its or their rights under the Credit Agreement or under any other Loan Document, or course of conduct relating thereto, shall operate as a waiver of such rights or any other right of the Lender or any holder hereof, nor shall any waiver by the Lender, Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Required Lenders, or any of them, or any holder hereof, of any such right or rights on any one occasion be deemed a bar to, or waiver of, the same right or rights on any future occasion.

The Borrowers hereby, jointly and severally, promise to pay all costs of collection, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, should this Revolving Note be collected by or through an attorney-at-law or under advice therefrom.

Time is of the essence in this Revolving Note.

This Revolving Note evidences the Lender’s portion of the Revolving Credit Loans under, and is entitled to the benefits and subject to the terms of, the Credit Agreement, which contains provisions with respect to the acceleration of the maturity of this Revolving Note upon the happening of certain stated events, and provisions for prepayment and repayment.
