Within the limits of the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Lender, amounts of Revolving Loans repaid may be reborrowed under this Section 2.1.

Section 2.2 Borrowing Procedures.

(a) Each Borrowing shall be made on notice given by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) (i) one Business Day, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans and (ii) three (3) Business Days, in the case of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans, prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such notice shall be in writing in substantially the form of Exhibit B (a “Notice of Borrowing”), specifying (A) the date of such proposed Borrowing, (B) the aggregate amount of such proposed Borrowing, (C) whether any portion of such Borrowing will be of Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, (D) the initial Interest Period or Periods for any such Eurodollar Rate Loans, and (E) the Available U.S. Credit (after giving effect to the proposed Borrowing). Revolving Loans shall be made as Base Rate Loans unless (subject to Section 2.14) the Notice of Borrowing specifies that all or a portion thereof shall be Eurodollar Rate Loans. Each Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall give to each Lender prompt notice of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of a Notice of Borrowing and, if Eurodollar Rate Loans are properly requested in such Notice of Borrowing, the applicable interest rate determined pursuant to Section 2.14(a). Each Lender shall, before 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date of the proposed Borrowing, make available to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 11.8 in immediately available funds, such Lender’s Ratable Portion of such proposed Borrowing. After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and (i) on the Closing Date, upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.1 and (ii) at any time (including the Closing Date), upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth Section 3.2, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower.

(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from any Lender prior to the date of any proposed Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Ratable Portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such Ratable Portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with this Section 2.2 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such Ratable Portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate for the first Business Day and thereafter at the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such corresponding amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. If the Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such payment shall not relieve such Lender of any obligation it may have hereunder to the Borrower.

(d) The failure of any Lender to make the Loans or any payment required by it on the date specified (a “Non-Funding Lender”), including any payment in respect of its participation in Swing Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations, shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations to make such Loan or payment on such date but no such other Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make a Loan or payment required under this Agreement.

Upon such payment by a Lender, such Lender shall, except as provided in clause (g) below, be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan to the Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall use such funds to repay the Swing Loans to the Swing Loan Lender. To the extent that any Lender fails to make such payment available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Loan Lender, the Borrower shall repay such Swing Loan on demand.

(f) Upon the occurrence of a Default under Section 9.1(e), each Lender shall acquire, without recourse or warranty, an undivided participation in each Swing Loan otherwise required to be repaid by such Lender pursuant to clause (e) above, which participation shall be in a principal amount equal to such Lender’s Ratable Portion of such Swing Loan, by paying to the Swing Loan Lender on the date on which such Lender would otherwise have been required to make a payment in respect of such Swing Loan pursuant to clause (e) above, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Lender’s Ratable Portion of such Swing Loan. If all or part of such amount is not in fact made available by such Lender to the Swing Loan Lender on such date, the Swing Loan Lender shall be entitled to recover any such unpaid amount on demand from such Lender together with interest accrued from such date at the Federal Funds Rate for the first Business Day after such payment was due and thereafter at the rate of interest then applicable to Base Rate Loans.

(c) In connection with the issuance of each Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall give the relevant Issuer and the Administrative Agent at least two Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by such Issuer) prior written notice, in substantially the form of Exhibit D (or in such other written or electronic form as is acceptable to the Issuer), of the requested issuance of such Letter of Credit (a “Letter of Credit Request”). Such notice shall be irrevocable and shall (i) specify (A) the Issuer of such Letter of Credit, the stated amount of the Letter of Credit requested, which stated amount (or, if such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in an Alternative Currency, the Dollar Equivalent of such stated amount) shall not be less than $5,000 (or such lesser amount as may be agreed to by such Issuer), (B) the date of issuance of such requested Letter of Credit (which day shall be a Business Day), (C) the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which date shall be a Business Day), and (D) the Person for whose benefit the requested Letter of Credit is to be Issued and (ii) certify that, after issuance of the requested Letter of Credit, (A) the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Obligations then outstanding will not exceed the Letter of Credit Sub-Limit and (B) the sum of the aggregate principal or undrawn amount of the then-outstanding (I) Letter of Credit Obligations, (II) Revolving Loans and (III) Swing Loans, will not exceed the Maximum Credit then in effect. Such notice, to be effective, must be received by the relevant Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second (2^nd) Business Day (or such shorter period as agreed by the relevant Issuer) prior to the requested issuance of such Letter of Credit.

(d) Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 2.4, the relevant Issuer shall, on the requested date, Issue a Letter of Credit on behalf of the Borrower in accordance with such Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. No Issuer shall Issue any Letter of Credit in the period commencing on the first Business Day after it receives written notice from the Administrative Agent or any Lender that one or more of the conditions precedent contained in Section 3.2 shall not on such date be satisfied, and ending when such conditions are satisfied. The relevant Issuer shall not otherwise be required to determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 have been satisfied in connection with the issuance of any Letter of Credit.

(e) If requested by the relevant Issuer, prior to the issuance of each Letter of Credit by such Issuer, and as a condition of such issuance, the Borrower shall have delivered to such Issuer a letter of credit reimbursement agreement, in such form as the Issuer may employ in its ordinary course of business for its own account (a “Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement”), signed by the Borrower, and such other documents or items as may be required pursuant to the terms thereof. In the event of any conflict between the terms of any Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.

(f) Each Issuer shall:

(i) give the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice confirmed promptly thereafter in writing, which may be by telecopier) of the issuance or renewal of a Letter of Credit Issued by it, of all drawings under a Letter of Credit Issued by it and the payment (or the failure to pay when due) by the Borrower of any Reimbursement Obligation when due (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit by telecopy, electronic mail or similar transmission to each Lender);

(ii) upon the request of any Lender, furnish to such Lender copies of any Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement to which such Issuer is a party and such other documentation as may reasonably be requested by such Lender; and

(iii) no later than 10 Business Days following the last day of each calendar month, provide to the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall provide a copy to each Lender requesting the same) and the Borrower separate schedules for Documentary and Standby Letters of Credit Issued by it, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, setting forth the aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations outstanding at the end of each month and any information requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent relating thereto.

(g) Immediately upon the issuance by an Issuer of a Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, such Issuer shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Lender, and each Lender shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Lender’s Ratable Portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments, in such Letter of Credit and the obligations of the Borrower with respect thereto (including all Letter of Credit Obligations with respect thereto) and any security therefor and guaranty pertaining thereto.

(h) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Issuer of a Letter of Credit the amount of all Reimbursement Obligations owing to such Issuer under a Letter of Credit when such amounts are due and payable, irrespective of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the Borrower may have at any time against such Issuer or any other Person. In the event that any Issuer makes any payment under any Letter of Credit and the Borrower shall not have repaid such amount to such Issuer pursuant to this clause (h) or such payment is rescinded or set aside for any reason, such Reimbursement Obligation shall bear interest computed from the date on which such Reimbursement Obligation arose to the date of repayment in full at the rate of interest applicable to Revolving Loans bearing interest at a rate based on the Base Rate during such period, and such Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each Lender of the failure to repay such Reimbursement Obligation, and each Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer the amount of such Lender’s Ratable Portion of such payment in Dollars (or, if such payment was made in an Alternative Currency, an amount in Dollars equal to the Dollar Equivalent thereof) and in immediately available funds. If the Administrative Agent so notifies such Lender prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, such Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer its Ratable Portion of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in immediately available funds. Upon such payment by a Lender, such Lender shall notwithstanding whether or not the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 shall have been satisfied (which conditions precedent the Lenders hereby irrevocably waive) be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan to the Borrower in the principal amount of such payment. Whenever any Issuer receives from the Borrower a payment of a Reimbursement Obligation as to which the Administrative Agent has received for the account of such Issuer any payment from a Lender pursuant to this clause (h), such Issuer shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to each Lender, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Lender’s Ratable Portion of the amount of such payment adjusted, if necessary, to reflect the respective amounts the Lenders have paid in respect of such Reimbursement Obligation.

(i) If and to the extent such Lender shall not have so made its Ratable Portion of the amount of the payment required by clause (h) above available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer, such Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer forthwith on demand any such unpaid amount together with interest thereon, for the first Business Day after payment was first due at the Federal Funds Rate and, thereafter, until such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer, at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility. The failure of any Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer its Ratable Portion of any such payment shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer its Ratable Portion of any payment on the date such payment is to be made, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuer such other Lender’s Ratable Portion of any such payment.

(j) The Borrower’s obligation to pay each Reimbursement Obligation and the obligations of the Lenders to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuers with respect to Letters of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under any and all circumstances whatsoever, including the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, and irrespective of:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document, or any term or provision therein;

(ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the provisions of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document;

(iii) the existence of any claim, set off, defense or other right that the Borrower, any other party guaranteeing, or otherwise obligated with, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof or any other Person may at any time have against the beneficiary under any Letter of Credit, the Issuer, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other related or unrelated agreement or transaction;

(iv) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(v) payment by the Issuer under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and

(vi) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of the Issuer, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower’s obligations hereunder.

Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the relevant Issuer under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not put such Issuer under any resulting liability to the Borrower or any Lender. In determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof, the Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary and, in making any payment under any Letter of Credit (x) the Issuer may rely exclusively on the documents presented to it under such Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set forth therein, including reliance on the amount of any draft presented under such Letter of Credit, whether or not the amount due to the beneficiary thereunder equals the amount of such draft and whether or not any document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be insufficient in any respect, if such document on its face appears to be in order, and whether or not any other statement or any other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be forged or invalid or any statement therein proves to be inaccurate or untrue in any respect whatsoever and (y) any noncompliance in any immaterial respect of the documents presented under such Letter of Credit with the terms thereof shall, in each case, be deemed not to constitute willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Issuer.

(k) Letters of Credit may be Issued in favor of a beneficiary that is a creditor of a Subsidiary of Group provided that the account party with respect to such Letter of Credit is the Borrower.

(l) The amount of Revolving Credit Commitments utilized by Letters of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be measured by a determination by the applicable Issuer of the Dollar Equivalent of such Letters of Credit on each day on which a Borrowing Base Certificate is delivered. The applicable Issuers shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of the aggregate Dollar Equivalent of such utilization in respect of the Letters of Credit Issued by it.

Section 2.5 Reduction and Termination of the Commitments. The Borrower may, upon at least five Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate in whole or reduce in part ratably the unused portions of the respective Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders; provided, however, that each partial reduction shall be in the aggregate amount of not less than $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and, in the case of any reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments, the requirements of Section 2.9(e) shall have been satisfied. The Borrower may not terminate the Revolving Credit Commitments in their entirety pursuant to this Section 2.5 unless, concurrently with such termination, the Revolving Credit Commitments under and as defined in the Canadian Facility are terminated.

Section 2.6 Repayment of Loans. The Borrower promises to repay the entire unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Loans and the Swing Loans and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon on the Revolving Credit Termination Date or earlier, if otherwise required by the terms hereof.

Section 2.7 Evidence of Debt.

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

(b) The Administrative Agent shall establish and maintain a Register pursuant to Section 11.2(c) and accounts therein in accordance with its usual practice in which it will record (i) the amount of each applicable Loan made and, if a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable by the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof, if applicable.

(c) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 2.7 shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms.

Section 2.8 Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans and Swing Loans in whole or in part at any time; provided, however, that if any prepayment of any Eurodollar Rate Loan is made by the Borrower other than on the last day of an Interest Period for such Loan, the Borrower shall also pay any amount owing pursuant to Section 2.14(e).

Section 2.9 Mandatory Prepayments.

(a) [Intentionally Omitted].

(b) Subject to clause (c) below, upon receipt by any Loan Party of Net Cash Proceeds (but only if at the time of such receipt the Available Credit is less than 25% of the Aggregate Borrowing Limit at such time), the Borrower shall within one Business Day after such receipt prepay the Loans (or provide cash collateral in respect of Letters of Credit as set forth in clause (d) below) in an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds as set forth in clause (d) below.

(c) Notwithstanding clause (b) above, as long as no Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing on the date Net Cash Proceeds are received by any Loan Party, the Borrower shall not be required to so apply an amount equal to Net Cash Proceeds arising from a Reinvestment Event to the extent that all Net Cash Proceeds from all Reinvestment Events do not exceed $50,000,000 (in the aggregate since the Closing Date) and are actually used (or have been contractually committed to be used) to consummate a Permitted Acquisition or to purchase replacement or fixed assets (in the case of an Asset Sale) or repair or replace (in the case of a Property Loss Event) the sold, damaged or taken property within 180 days of the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds by a Loan Party and, pending application of such proceeds, the Borrower has either (i) paid an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds to the Administrative Agent to be held by the Administrative Agent in a Cash Collateral Account designated by the Administrative Agent or (ii) applied an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds in repayment of the Revolving Loans and the Administrative Agent shall have established an Availability Reserve in the amount of such repayment, which reserve shall xxxxx on the Reinvestment Prepayment Date applicable to such Net Cash Proceeds or earlier to the extent that Revolving Loans up to the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds are used as set forth in the Reinvestment Notice with respect thereto; provided, however, that to the extent any asset subject to such Asset Sale or Property Loss Event constituted Collateral, any replacement, fixed or alternative assets acquired with Net Cash Proceeds shall, upon acquisition thereof by a Warnaco Entity, be subject to a perfected Lien in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in each case, having the priority described in Section 4.20 of this Agreement and the Collateral Documents (but, in the case of a Permitted Acquisition, only to the extent required by clause (v) of the definition thereof); provided further, however, in the event an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing after the provisions in this clause (c) become operative, the Administrative Agent may, or shall at the direction of the Requisite Lenders, apply all amounts in the Cash Collateral Account referred to above to the Obligations.

(d) Subject to the provisions of clause (c) above and Section 2.13(h) (Payments and Computations), any prepayments made by the Borrower required to be applied in accordance with this clause (d) shall be applied, first, to repay the outstanding principal balance of the Swing Loans until the Swing Loans shall have been repaid in full; second, to repay the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans until the Revolving Loans shall have been repaid in full; and third, to provide cash collateral for any Letter of Credit Obligations in the manner set forth in Section 9.3 until all the Letter of Credit Obligations have been fully cash collateralized in the manner set forth therein.

(e) If at any time the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Outstandings exceed the Maximum Credit at such time, the Borrower shall, as soon as possible, but in any event within one Business Day, prepay first the Swing Loans and then the Revolving Loans then outstanding in an amount equal to such excess. If any such excess remains after repayment in full of the aggregate outstanding Swing Loans and the Revolving Loans, the Borrower shall provide cash collateral for the Letter of Credit Obligations in the manner set forth in Section 9.3 to the extent required to eliminate such excess.

(f) Except in the case where Section 2.13(h) shall be applicable, all available funds in each Cash Collateral Account (other than an amount equal to any proceeds arising from a Reinvestment Event that are held in the Cash Collateral Account pending application of such proceeds as specified in a Reinvestment Notice) shall be applied on a daily basis: first, to repay the outstanding principal amount of the Swing Loans until the Swing Loans have been repaid in full; second, to repay the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans until the Revolving Loans have been repaid in full; third, to any other Obligation in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility then due and payable and then, to cash collateralize all outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations in the manner set forth in Section 9.3. The Facility Agents agree so to apply such funds and the Borrower consents to such application. Notwithstanding the first sentence in this clause (f), at any time there is no Event of Default that is continuing, there are no Loans outstanding and no other Obligations in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility are then due and payable each Facility Agent shall cause any funds in any Cash Collateral Account maintained by it to be paid at the written direction of the Borrower for any other purpose.

Section 2.10 Interest.

(a) Rate of Interest. All Loans and the outstanding amount of all other Obligations shall bear interest, in the case of Loans, on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loans are made and, in the case of such other Obligations, from the date such other Obligations are due and payable until, in all cases, paid in full, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.10(c), as follows:

(i) if a Base Rate Loan or such other Obligation, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the Base Rate as in effect from time to time and (B) the Applicable Margin for such Loans; and

(ii) if a Eurodollar Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the Eurodollar Rate determined for the applicable Interest Period and (B) the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time during such Interest Period.

(b) Interest Payments. Interest accrued:

(i) on each Base Rate Loan shall be payable in arrears (A) on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter, commencing on the first such day following the making of such Base Rate Loan and (B) if not previously paid in full, at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Base Rate Loan;

(ii) on each Swing Loan shall be payable in arrears (A) on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter, commencing on the first such day following the making of such Swing Loan and (B) if not previously paid in full, at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Swing Loan;

(iii) on each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be payable in arrears (A) on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such Loan and if such Interest Period has a duration of more than three months, on each day during such Interest Period which occurs every three months from the first day of such Interest Period, (B) upon the payment or prepayment thereof in full or in part, and (C) if not previously paid in full, at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Eurodollar Rate Loan; and

(iv) on the amount of all other Obligations shall be payable on demand after the time such Obligation becomes due and payable (whether by acceleration or otherwise).

(c) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the rates of interest specified in Section 2.10(a) or elsewhere herein, effective immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and for as long thereafter as such Event of Default shall be continuing, the principal balance of all Loans and the amount of all other Obligations shall bear interest at a rate which is two percent per annum in excess of the rate of interest applicable to such Loans or such other Obligations from time to time. Default interest under this clause (c) shall be payable on demand by the Administrative Agent or the Requisite Lenders.

Section 2.11 Conversion/Continuation Option.

(a) The Borrower may elect (i) on any Business Day to convert Base Rate Loans (other than Swing Loans) or any portion thereof to Eurodollar Rate Loans, or (ii) at the end of any applicable Interest Period, to convert Eurodollar Rate Loans or any portion thereof into Base Rate Loans or to continue such Eurodollar Rate Loans or any portion thereof for an additional Interest Period; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of the Eurodollar Loans for each Interest Period must be in the amount of $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Each conversion or continuation shall be allocated among the Loans of each Lender in accordance with such Lender’s Ratable Portion.

(b) Each such election shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit F hereto (a “Notice of Conversion or Continuation”) and shall be made by giving the Administrative Agent at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice specifying (i) the amount and type of Loan being converted or continued, (ii) in the case of a conversion to or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, the applicable Interest Period, and (iii) in the case of a conversion, the date of conversion (which date shall be a Business Day and, if a conversion from Eurodollar Rate Loans, shall also be the last day of the applicable Interest Period). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of a Notice of Conversion or Continuation and of the options selected therein.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no conversion in whole or in part of Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans, and no continuation in whole or in part of Eurodollar Rate Loans upon the expiration of any applicable Interest Period, shall be permitted at any time at which (A) a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or (B) the continuation of, or conversion into, would violate any of the provisions of Section 2.14.

(d) If, within the time period required under the terms of this Section 2.11, the Administrative Agent does not receive a Notice of Conversion or Continuation from the Borrower containing a permitted election to continue any Loan that is a Eurodollar Rate Loan for an additional Interest Period or to convert any such Loan, then, upon the expiration of the applicable Interest Period, such Loan will be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan.

(e) Each Notice of Conversion or Continuation shall be irrevocable.

Section 2.12 Fees.

(a) Unused Commitment Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender a commitment fee (the “Unused Commitment Fee”) on the average amount by which the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender exceeds such Lender’s Ratable Portion of the Revolving Credit Outstandings (excluding the amount of any outstanding Swing Loans) from the Closing Date until the Revolving Credit Termination Date at the Applicable Unused Commitment Fee Rate, payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter, commencing on the first such day following the Closing Date, and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

(b) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay the following amounts with respect to Letters of Credit Issued by any Issuer:

(i) to each Issuer of a Letter of Credit, with respect to each Letter of Credit Issued by such Issuer, an issuance fee (the “Issuing Fee”) equal to 0.125% per annum of the maximum amount available from time to time to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, payable in arrears (A) on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter, commencing on the first such day following the issuance of such Letter of Credit, and (B) on the Revolving Credit Termination Date;

(ii) to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, with respect to each Letter of Credit, a fee accruing at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans that are Eurodollar Rate Loans of the maximum amount available from time to time to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, payable in arrears (A) on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter, commencing on the first such day following the issuance of such Letter of Credit, and (B) on the Revolving Credit Termination Date; provided, however, that during the continuance of an Event of Default, such fee shall be increased by two percent per annum and shall be payable on demand; and

(iii) to the Issuer of any Letter of Credit, with respect to the issuance, extension, amendment, transfer or other action of or with respect to each Letter of Credit and each drawing made thereunder, documentary and processing charges in accordance with such Issuer’s standard schedule for such charges in effect at the time of issuance, extension, amendment, transfer, other action or drawing, as the case may be.

(c) Additional Fees. The Borrower has agreed to pay additional fees under the Fee Letters, the amount, payees and dates of payment of which are embodied in the Fee Letters.

Section 2.13 Payments and Computations.

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder (including fees and expenses) not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the day when due, in Dollars, to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 11.8 in immediately available funds without set-off or counterclaim. The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed immediately available funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or fees (to the extent payable to the Lenders) to the Lenders, in accordance with the application of payments set forth in clauses (g) and (h) of this Section 2.13, as applicable, for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices; provided, however, that amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14(c), Section 2.14(e), Section 2.15 or Section 2.16 shall be paid only to the affected Lender or Lenders and amounts payable with respect to Swing Loans shall be paid only to the Swing Loan Lender. Payments received by the Administrative Agent after 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) shall be deemed to be received on the next succeeding Business Day.

(b) All computations of interest and of fees shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days (365/366 days in the case of interest on Base Rate Loans to the extent that such interest is determined based upon BofA’s “prime rate” and not the Federal Funds Rate), in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest and fees are payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(d) Each payment by the Borrower of any Loan, Reimbursement Obligation (including interest or fees in respect thereof) and each reimbursement of various costs, expenses or other Obligation shall be made in the currency in which such Loan was made, such Letter of Credit Issued or such cost, expense or other Obligation was incurred; provided, however, that (i) the Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement for a Letter of Credit may specify another currency for the Reimbursement Obligation in respect of such Letter of Credit and (ii) other than for payments in respect of a Loan or Reimbursement Obligation, Loan Documents duly executed by the Administrative Agent or any Hedging Contract may specify other currencies of payment for Obligations created by or directly related to such Loan Document or Hedging Contract.

(e) Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or fees, as the case may be; provided, however, that if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of any Eurodollar Rate Loan to be made in the next calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. All repayments of any Revolving Loans shall be applied first to repay such Loans outstanding as Base Rate Loans and then to repay such Loans outstanding as Eurodollar Rate Loans with those Eurodollar Rate Loans which have earlier expiring Interest Periods being repaid prior to those which have later expiring Interest Periods.

(f) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each relevant Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each relevant Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate, for the first Business Day, and, thereafter, at the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent.

(g) Subject to the provisions of clause (h) of this Section 2.13 (and except as otherwise provided in Section 2.9 or elsewhere in this Agreement), all payments and any other amounts received by the Administrative Agent from or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party shall be applied first, to pay principal of and interest on any portion of the Loans which the Administrative Agent may have advanced pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement on behalf of any Lender, for which the Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or the Borrower; second, to pay all other Obligations then due and payable; and then, as the Borrower so designates. Payments in respect of Swing Loans received by the Administrative Agent shall be distributed to the Swing Loan Lender; payments in respect of Revolving Loans received by the Administrative Agent shall be distributed to each Lender in accordance with such Lender’s Ratable Portion; and, unless provided otherwise herein, all payments of fees and all other payments in respect of any other Obligation shall be allocated among such of the Lenders and the Issuers as are entitled thereto, and, if to the Lenders, in proportion to their respective Ratable Portions.

(h) The Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments in respect of the Secured Obligations and any proceeds of Collateral after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and agrees that upon the termination of the Commitments or the acceleration of any of the Obligations pursuant to Section 9.2, the Facility Agents shall apply all payments made to or received by any Facility Agent, any Lender or any Issuer constituting proceeds of Collateral (including all funds on deposit in the Special Cash Collateral Account or any Cash Collateral Account (including all proceeds arising from a Reinvestment Event that are held in the Cash Collateral Account pending application of such proceeds as specified in a Reinvestment Notice)) and all other payments made to or received by any Facility Agent, any Lender or any Issuer with respect to any Secured Obligations in the following order:

first, to pay interest on and then principal of any portion of the Revolving Loans which the Administrative Agent may have advanced on behalf of any Lender for which the Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or the Borrower;

second, to pay interest on and then principal of any Swing Loan;

third, to pay Secured Obligations in respect of any expense reimbursements (including indemnities) or Cash Management Obligations then due to the Facility Agents;

fourth, to pay Secured Obligations in respect of any expense reimbursements (including indemnities) then due to the Lenders and the Issuers;

fifth, to pay Secured Obligations in respect of any fees then due to the Facility Agents, the Lenders and the Issuers;

sixth, to pay interest then due and payable in respect of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations;

seventh, to pay or prepay principal payments on the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations and to provide cash collateral for outstanding Letter of Credit Undrawn Amounts in the manner described in Section 9.3;

eighth, to pay or prepay principal amounts on Secured Obligations in respect of Hedging Contracts and Cash Management Obligations, ratably (based on the proportional amounts thereof) to the aggregate principal amount of such Hedging Contracts and Cash Management Obligations;

ninth, to the ratable (based on the proportional amounts thereof) payment of all other Secured Obligations (other than Secured Obligations under the Loan Party Canadian Facility Guaranty);

tenth, to the payment of all Secured Obligations under the Loan Party Canadian Facility Guaranty; and

eleventh; as directed by the Borrower;

provided, however, that if sufficient funds are not available to fund all payments to be made in respect of any of the Obligations described in any of the foregoing clauses first through ninth, the available funds being applied with respect to any such Obligation (unless otherwise specified in such clause) shall be allocated to the payment of such Obligations ratably, based on the proportion of the applicable Agent’s and each applicable Lender’s or Issuer’s interest in the aggregate outstanding Obligations described in such clause; and provided, however, that payments that would otherwise be allocated to the Lenders shall be allocated first to repay Protective Advances and Swing Loans pro rata and then to the Lenders. The order of priority set forth in clauses first through ninth of this Section 2.13(h) may at any time and from time to time be changed by the agreement of the

Requisite Lenders and each adversely affected Lender without necessity of notice to or consent of or approval by the Borrower, any Secured Party that is not a Lender or an Issuer, or any other Person. The order of priority set forth in clauses first through fifth of this Section 2.13(h) may be changed only with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent in addition to the Requisite Lenders. The order of priority set forth in clause tenth of this Section 2.13(h) may be changed only with the prior written consent of the Requisite Lenders and the administrative agent under the Canadian Facility.

(i) At the option of the Administrative Agent, principal on the Swing Loans, Reimbursement Obligations, interest, fees, expenses and other sums due and payable in respect of the Revolving Loans and Protective Advances may be paid from the proceeds of Swing Loans or Revolving Loans. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Swing Loan Lender to make such Swing Loans pursuant to Section 2.3(a) and the Lenders to make Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.2(a) from time to time in the amounts of any and all principal payable with respect to the Swing Loans, Reimbursement Obligations, interest, fees, expenses and other sums payable in respect of the Revolving Loans and Protective Advances, and further authorizes the Administrative Agent to give the Lenders notice of any Borrowing with respect to such Swing Loans and Revolving Loans and to distribute the proceeds of such Swing Loans and Revolving Loans to pay such amounts. The Borrower agrees that all such Swing Loans and Revolving Loans so made shall be deemed to have been requested by it (irrespective of the satisfaction of the conditions in Section 3.2 which conditions the Lenders irrevocably waive) and directs that all proceeds thereof shall be used to pay such amounts.

Section 2.14 Special Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans.

(a) Determination of Interest Rate. The Eurodollar Rate for each Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be determined by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the procedures set forth in the definition of “Eurodollar Rate.” The Administrative Agent’s determination shall be presumed to be correct, absent manifest error, and shall be binding on the Borrower.

(b) Interest Rate Unascertainable, Inadequate or Unfair. In the event that: (i) the Administrative Agent determines that adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rates by reference to which the Eurodollar Rate then being determined is to be fixed; or (ii) the Requisite Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate for any Loans for any Interest Period will not adequately reflect the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon each Eurodollar Loan will automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period for such Loan, convert into a Base Rate Loan and the obligations of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that the Administrative Agent (in the case of clause (i) above) or the Requisite Lenders (in the case of clause (ii) above) has or have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

(c) Increased Costs. If at any time any Lender shall determine that due to the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order (other than any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements included in determining the Eurodollar Rate or with respect to taxes (payment with respect to which shall be governed by Section 2.16)) or the compliance by such Lender with any guideline, request or directive from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loans, then the Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(d) Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender determines that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order after the date of this Agreement shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) the obligation of such Lender to make or to continue Eurodollar Rate Loans and to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, and each such Lender shall make a Base Rate Loan as part of any requested Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (ii) if the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans are then outstanding, the Borrower shall immediately convert each such Loan into a Base Rate Loan. If at any time after a Lender gives notice under this Section 2.14(d) such Lender determines that it may lawfully make Eurodollar Rate Loans, such Lender shall promptly give notice of that determination to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit the notice to each other Lender. The Borrower’s right to request, and such Lender’s obligation, if any, to make Eurodollar Rate Loans shall thereupon be restored.

(e) Breakage Costs. In addition to all amounts required to be paid by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.10, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon demand (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loans to the Borrower but excluding any loss of the Applicable Margin on the relevant Loans) which such Lender may sustain (i) if for any reason a proposed Borrowing, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion or Continuation given by the Borrower or in a telephonic request by it for borrowing or conversion or continuation or a successive Interest Period does not commence after notice therefor is given pursuant to Section 2.11, (ii) if for any reason any Eurodollar Rate Loan is prepaid (including mandatorily pursuant to Section 2.9) on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, (iii) as a consequence of a required conversion of a Eurodollar Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan as a result of any of the events indicated in Section 2.14(d), or (iv) as a consequence of any failure by the Borrower to repay Eurodollar Rate Loans when required by the terms hereof. The Lender making demand for such compensation shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent concurrently with such demand a written statement as to such losses, expenses and liabilities, and this statement shall be conclusive as to the amount of compensation due to that Lender, absent manifest error.

Section 2.15 Capital Adequacy. If at any time any Lender determines that (a) the adoption of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order after the date of this Agreement regarding capital adequacy, (b) compliance with any such law, treaty, rule, regulation, or order, or (c) compliance with any guideline or request or directive from any central bank or other Governmental Authority regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s (or any corporation or other Person controlling such Lender’s) capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation or other Person could have achieved but for such adoption, change, compliance or interpretation, then, upon demand from time to time by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such reduction. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Section 2.16 Taxes.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.16, any and all payments by any Loan Party under each Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding (i) in the case of each Lender, each Issuer and each Agent (A) taxes imposed on or measured by its net income or net profits and franchise taxes imposed on such Person by the United States of America, and similar taxes imposed by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the laws of which such Lender, such Issuer or such Agent (as the case may be) is organized, in which its principal office is located, or in which it is otherwise doing business, or, in the case of any Lender, in which its Applicable Lending Office is located, (B) any branch profits taxes imposed by the United States of America or any similar tax imposed by any other jurisdiction in which any Loan Party is located, (C) any United States withholding taxes payable with respect to payments under the Loan Documents under laws (including any statute, treaty or regulation) in effect on the Closing Date (or, in the case of (w) an Eligible Assignee which became a party to this Agreement after the Closing Date, the date of the Assignment and Acceptance or Assumption Agreement pursuant to which such Eligible Assignee became a party to this Agreement, (x) a successor Agent, the date of the appointment of such Agent, (y) a successor Issuer, the date such Issuer becomes an Issuer and (z) the designation of a new Applicable Lending Office) applicable to such Lender, such Issuer or such Agent, as the case may be, but not excluding any United States withholding taxes payable as a result of any change in such laws occurring after the Closing Date (or the date of such Assignment and Acceptance or Assumption Agreement or the date of such appointment of such Agent or the date such Issuer becomes an Issuer, as appropriate) and (D) all liabilities, penalties and interest with respect to any of the foregoing, (ii) in the case of each Agent, each Lender and each Issuer, taxes imposed on or measured by its net income or net profits, franchise and similar taxes imposed on it as a result of a present or former connection between such Agent, such Lender or such Issuer (as the case may be) and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or taxing authority thereof or therein and (iii) in the case of each Agent, each Lender and each Issuer, taxes imposed as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent, such Lender or such Issuer (as the case may be) (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.16, if any Taxes shall be required by law to be deducted from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to any Lender, any Issuer or any Agent (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.16) such Lender, such Issuer or such Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the applicable Loan Party shall make such deductions, (iii) the Loan Parties shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law, and (iv) within 30 days after payment, the Loan Parties shall deliver to the Administrative Agent evidence of such payment.

(b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies imposed by any state, county, city or other political subdivision within the United States (but not United States federal taxes, payment with respect to which shall be governed by clause (a) above) or by any applicable foreign jurisdiction, and all liabilities with respect thereto, which arise from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (collectively, “Other Taxes”).

(c) Each Loan Party will, jointly and severally, indemnify each Lender, each Issuer and each Agent for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes and Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.16) paid by such Lender, such Issuer or such Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including for penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender, such Issuer or such Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculations of such amounts.

(d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes, the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 11.8, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Loan Party hereunder or under the Guaranty, the agreements and obligations of the Loan Parties contained in this Section 2.16 shall survive the payment in full of the Secured Obligations.

(f) (i) Each Non-U.S. Lender or Non-U.S. Agent that is entitled to an exemption from U.S. withholding tax, or that is subject to such tax at a reduced rate under an applicable tax treaty, shall (v) on or prior to the Closing Date in the case of each Non-U.S. Lender or Non-U.S. Agent that is a signatory hereto, (w) on or prior to the date of the Assignment and Acceptance or Assumption Agreement pursuant to which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender, the date a successor Issuer becomes an Issuer or the date a successor Agent becomes an Agent hereunder, (x) on or prior to the date on which any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and (z) from time to time if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, provide the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with two completed originals of each of the following, as applicable:

(A) Form W-8ECI (claiming exemption from U.S. withholding tax because the income is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business) or any successor form;

(B) Form W-8BEN (claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. withholding tax under an income tax treaty) or any successor form;

(C) Form W-8IMY (claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. withholding tax for foreign intermediaries, foreign flow-through entities or U.S. branches of certain foreign banks or foreign insurance companies) or any successor form;

(D) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender or Non-U.S. Agent claiming exemption under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, a Form W-8BEN (claiming exemption from U.S. withholding tax under the portfolio interest exemption) or any successor form and a certificate establishing such Non-U.S. Lender or Non-U.S. Agent’s entitlement to such exemption including, without limitation, certification that the Non-U.S. Lender or Non-U.S. Agent is not a bank receiving payments under this Agreement on an extension of credit made pursuant to a loan agreement entered into in the ordinary course of its trade or business; and/or

(E) any other applicable form, certificate or document prescribed by the IRS certifying as to such Non-U.S. Lender’s or Non-U.S. Agent’s entitlement to such exemption from U.S. withholding tax or reduced rate with respect to all payments to be made to such Non-U.S. Lender or Non-U.S. Agent under the Loan Documents.

(ii) Each U.S. Lender shall (v) on or prior to the Closing Date in the case of each U.S. Lender that is a signatory hereto, (w) on or prior to the date of the Assignment and Acceptance or Assumption Agreement pursuant to which such U.S. Lender becomes a Lender, on or prior to the date a successor Issuer becomes an Issuer or on or prior to the date a successor Agent becomes a Agent hereunder, (x) on or prior to the date on which any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and (z) from time to time if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, provide the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with two completed originals of Form W-9 (certifying that such U.S. Lender is entitled to an exemption from U.S. backup withholding tax) or any successor form. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.16(f), a U.S. Lender shall not include a Lender, an Issuer or an Agent that may be treated as an exempt recipient based on the indicators described in Treasury Regulation section 1.6049-4(c)(1)(ii) except to the extent that such Person is required to deliver a withholding form under Treasury Regulation section 1.1441-1 to establish its withholding status.

(g) Unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent have received forms, documents and/or other evidence satisfactory to them indicating that payments under any Loan Document to or for a U.S. Lender, Non-U.S. Lender or Non-U.S. Agent are not subject to U.S. withholding tax or are subject to such tax at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty, the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent shall withhold amounts required to be withheld by Requirements of Law from such payments at the applicable statutory rate. For any period with respect to which an Agent, Lender or Issuer has failed to provide the Borrower with the appropriate forms required under Section 2.16(f), such Agent, such Lender or such Issuer shall not be entitled to indemnification or increased amounts under Section 2.16(a) or (c) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such failure except to the extent withholding is required as a result of a change in law occurring after the applicable time described in paragraph (f), in which case the Borrower shall be required to gross-up or indemnify for such amounts resulting solely from such change in law.

(h) Any Lender or Issuer claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts which would be payable or may thereafter accrue and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender or Issuer, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender or Issuer.

(i) If any Lender or any Issuer changes its residence, place of business or Applicable Lending Office or takes any other similar action, and the effect of such change or action, as of the date thereof, would be to increase the additional amounts that the Loan Parties are obligated to pay under this Section 2.16, the Loan Parties shall not be obligated to pay the amount of such increase.

(j) If any Agent or Lender determines in its sole discretion that it has actually received any refund of tax in connection with any deduction or withholding or payment of any additional amount by the Loan Parties pursuant to this Section 2.16, such Person shall reimburse the Borrower in an amount equal to such refund, after tax, and net of all expenses incurred by such Person in connection with such refund. The Borrower shall return such amount to the applicable Person in the event that such Person is required to repay such refund of tax. Nothing contained in this paragraph shall interfere with the right of each of the Agents and the Lenders to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit, nor to disclose any information or any computations relating to its tax affairs or to do anything that would prejudice its ability to benefit from other credits, relief, remissions or repayments to which it may be entitled.

Section 2.17 Substitution of Lenders. In the event that (a) (i) any Lender makes a claim under Section 2.14(c) or Section 2.15, or (ii) it becomes illegal for any Lender to continue to fund or make any Eurodollar Rate Loan and such Lender notifies the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.14(d), or (iii) the Borrower is required to make any payment pursuant to Section 2.16 that is attributable to any Lender, or (iv) any Lender is a Non-Funding Lender, (b) in the case of clause (a)(i) above, as a consequence of increased costs in respect of which such claim is made, the effective rate of interest payable to such Lender under this Agreement with respect to its Loans materially exceeds the effective average annual rate of interest payable to the Requisite Lenders under this Agreement and (c) except with respect to clause (a)(iii) above, Lenders holding at least 75% of the sum of the Revolving Credit Commitments are not subject to such increased costs or illegality, payment or proceedings (any such Lender, an “Affected Lender”), the Borrower may, at its sole cost and expense, substitute another financial institution for such Affected Lender hereunder, upon reasonable prior written notice (which written notice must be given within 90 days following the occurrence of any of the events described in clauses (a)(i), (ii), (iii) or (iv)) by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Affected Lender that the Borrower intends to make such substitution, which substitute financial institution must be an Eligible Assignee and, if not a Lender, reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that if more than one Lender claims increased costs, illegality or right to payment arising from the same act or condition and such claims are received by the Borrower within 30 days of each other then the Borrower may substitute all, but not (except to the extent the Borrower has already substituted one of such Affected Lenders before the Borrower’s receipt of the other Affected Lenders’ claims) less than all, Lenders making such claims. In the event that the proposed substitute financial institution or other entity is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, each Issuer and the written notice was properly issued under this Section 2.17, the Affected Lender shall sell and the substitute financial institution or other entity shall purchase, pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance, all rights and claims of such Affected Lender under the Loan Documents (for a purchase price equal to the principal balance of all Loans held by such Affected Lender and all accrued and unpaid interest with respect thereto through the date of sale) and the substitute financial institution or other entity shall assume and the Affected Lender shall be relieved of its Commitments and all other prior unperformed obligations of the Affected Lender under the Loan Documents (other than in respect of any damages (other than exemplary or punitive damages, to the extent permitted by applicable law) in respect of any such unperformed obligations) and such sale and purchase shall be recorded in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent. Upon the effectiveness of such sale, purchase and assumption (which, in any event shall be conditioned upon the payment in full by the Borrower to the Affected Lender in cash of all fees, unreimbursed costs and expenses and indemnities accrued and unpaid through such effective date), the substitute financial institution or other entity shall become a “Lender” hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement having a Commitment in the amount of such Affected Lender’s Commitment assumed by it and such Commitments of the Affected Lender shall be terminated, provided that all indemnities under the Loan Documents shall continue in favor of such Affected Lender. Notwithstanding the above, the Borrower may not exercise the substitution right under this Section 2.17 during the continuance of an Event of Default.

Section 2.18 Facility Increase.

(a) The Borrower may (no more frequently than three times after the Closing Date (in minimum increments of $50,000,000) during the term of the Revolving Credit Facility) request the Lenders or other Eligible Assignees acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion to provide additional Commitments (a “Facility Increase”) up to an aggregate amount during the term of the Revolving Credit Facility not in excess of $200,000,000; provided, however, that (i) the Borrower shall have given the Administrative Agent at least 60 days’ written notice of its intention to effect the Facility Increase and the desired amount of such Facility Increase, (ii) there shall exist no Default or Event of Default as of the Facility Increase Effective Date (as defined below) or after giving effect to the Facility Increase to occur on that date and the other conditions precedent to a Borrowing set forth in Section 3.2 are satisfied as of the Facility Increase Effective Date, (iii) an opinion of counsel to the Loan Parties in form and substance and from counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and addressed to the Facility Agents, the Issuers and the Lenders dated the Facility Increase Effective Date and addressing such matters as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent, (iv) the Administrative Agent shall have received such other documents, agreements, certificates and writings with respect to the Facility Increase as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request (including, without limitation, resolutions of the Borrower authorizing the borrowings under the Facility Increase and such amendments, modifications and/or supplements to the Collateral Documents as are necessary or, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, desirable to ensure that the borrowings under the Facility Increase are secured by, and entitled to the benefits of, the Collateral Documents), (v) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent a fee to be determined (but in any event reasonably acceptable to Group) and (vi) the Borrower shall have paid to the Lenders providing the Facility Increase a fee required in order to clear the market in an amount to be determined.

(b) The Borrower shall have the right to offer such increase to (x) the Lenders, and each Lender will have the right, but not the obligation, to commit to all or a portion of the proposed Facility Increase or (y) any institution that would be an Eligible Assignee and is acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion; provided, however, that (i) the additional Revolving Credit Commitment of each Lender or Eligible Assignee is $5,000,000 or an incremental multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (ii) such Lender or Eligible Assignee executes an Assumption Agreement pursuant to which such Lender or Eligible Assignee agrees to commit to all or a portion of such Facility Increase and, in the case of an Eligible Assignee, to be bound by the terms of this Agreement as a Lender, (iii) the Borrower shall offer the proposed Facility Increase to each Lender (other than a Non-Funding Lender) prior to offering any portion of such Facility Increase to an Eligible Assignee and if the Borrower has not received commitments from the Lenders in an aggregate amount at least equal to the amount of the proposed Facility Increase, then the Borrower may request commitments for such Facility Increase from Eligible Assignees in an aggregate amount equal to such deficiency, (iv) the fees to be paid to any Eligible Assignee shall be no greater than those paid (or which were offered) to the then existing Lenders providing (or which were requested to provide) any portion of the proposed Facility Increase, (v) the Loans made pursuant to such Facility Increase shall have the same terms (including, without limitation, maturity date, Applicable Margin and Collateral) as the other Loans (including, without limitation, terms for the other Loans that are amended to reflect any otherwise better terms for the Loans made pursuant to such Facility Increase) and (vi) such Facility Increase shall be subject to the successful syndication of the entire amount of such proposed Facility Increase.

(c) On the effective date provided for in the Assumption Agreements providing for a Facility Increase (each a “Facility Increase Effective Date”), the Revolving Credit Commitments will be increased by the additional amount committed to by each Lender or Eligible Assignee on the Facility Increase Effective Date.

(d) In the event there are Lenders or Eligible Assignees that have committed to a Facility Increase in excess of the maximum amount requested (or permitted), then the Arrangers (with the consent of the Borrower which shall not be unreasonably withheld) shall have the right to allocate such commitments as among the committing Lenders or committing Eligible Assignees, as the case may be.

(e) On each Facility Increase Effective Date, the Administrative Agent will effect a settlement of all outstanding Loans among the Lenders (including, without limitation, those Eligible Assignees that become Lenders on such Facility Increase Effective Date) that will reflect the adjustments to the Commitments of such Lenders. Any interest, fees and other payments accrued to the Facility Increase Effective Date with respect to any Loans of a Lender transferred by such Lender in accordance with such settlement shall be for the account of the transferring Lender. Any interest, fees and other payments accrued on and after the Facility Increase Effective Date with respect to the interests and obligations acquired by a Lender hereunder as a result of such settlement shall be for the account of the acquiring Lender. On each Facility Increase Effective Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders (including, without limitation, those Eligible Assignees that become Lenders on such Facility Increase Effective Date) and the Borrower of the occurrence of the Facility Increase to be effected on such Facility Increase Effective Date, the amount of Loans held by each Lender as a result thereof and the amount of the Commitment of each Lender as a result thereof.

Section 2.19 Special Cash Collateral Account. The Borrower may from time to time deposit into the Special Cash Collateral Account cash of the Borrower to be included in the calculation of the Borrowing Base; provided that (i) such deposit shall be made upon not less than 2 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Facility Agents and (ii) such deposit shall be made on the same day (or within one Business Day thereafter) as the day of the delivery of the Borrowing Base Certificate required by Section 6.12(a) (Borrowing Base Determination) (but in any event no more frequently than once per week). The Borrower may not make any such deposit if a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing unless the making of such deposit shall cure such Default or Event of Default. Funds on deposit in the Special Cash Collateral Account may be invested in Permitted Cash Equivalents at the direction of the Collateral Agent and, except during the continuance of an Event of Default (unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), the Collateral Agent agrees with the Borrower to make or cause to be made such investments in Permitted Cash Equivalents as requested by the Borrower; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent shall not have any responsibility for, or bear any risk of loss of, any such requested investment or income thereon and the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to make or cause to be made any such investment absent a request by the Borrower for a specific investment in Permitted Cash Equivalents. The Borrower may request the Collateral Agent to withdraw monies from the Special Cash Collateral Account and deliver such withdrawn amounts to the Borrower by written notice to the Facility Agents delivered together with (but no more frequently than once per week) the delivery of the Borrowing Base Certificate required by Section 6.12(a) (Borrowing Base Determination); provided, that no withdrawal shall be permitted at the request of the Borrower if a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing (other than a withdrawal of monies by the Collateral Agent, at the request of the Borrower, to be applied directly to the immediate payment of the Loans and if paid in full then to the cash collateralization of Letter of Credit Obligations, and not to be delivered to the Borrower) or, after giving effect to such withdrawal, the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Outstandings will exceed the Maximum Credit. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Special Cash Collateral Account is not a Cash Collateral Account and that all funds and Permitted Cash Equivalents in the Special Cash Collateral Account are collateral security for the payment of the Secured Obligations. The Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, from time to time apply funds and Permitted Cash Equivalents then held in the Special Cash Collateral Account to the payment of Secured Obligations which are past due.

Section 10.6 Successor Agents.

(a) Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the other Facility Agents, the Lenders, the Issuers and the Borrower and shall, immediately upon giving such notice, be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Upon any such resignation by the Administrative Agent, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, provided that such successor shall be a United States person as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Requisite Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuers, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, selected from among the Lenders. Such appointment shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Borrower (which approval may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and shall not be required upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Prior to any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Administrative Agent its rights as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. At any time after the discharge of a retiring Administrative Agent from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and prior to any Person accepting its appointment as a successor Administrative Agent, the Requisite Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of such retiring Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as a successor Administrative Agent shall become the Administrative Agent hereunder. After its resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to have the benefit of this Article X as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

(b) Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuers and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to appoint a successor Collateral Agent. If no successor Collateral Agent shall have been so appointed by the Administrative Agent and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Collateral Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Collateral Agent may, on behalf of the Secured Parties, appoint a successor Collateral Agent. Such appointment shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Borrower (which approval may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and shall not be required upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Collateral Agent by a successor Collateral Agent, such successor Collateral Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Promptly after any retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder as Collateral Agent, the retiring Collateral Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Collateral Agent its rights as Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents and to protect and maintain the Liens held by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties (including delivery of any Collateral in its possession to the successor Collateral Agent). If no Person has accepted appointment as a successor Collateral Agent within 30 days after the retiring Collateral Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, the retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Administrative Agent shall assume and perform all of the duties of the retiring Collateral Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Administrative Agent shall appoint a successor Collateral Agent as provided for above. After its resignation, the retiring Collateral Agent shall continue to have the benefit of this Article X as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Collateral Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

(C) extend the scheduled final maturity of any Loan owing to such Lender, or waive, reduce, or postpone any scheduled date fixed for, the payment of principal, interest or fees owing to such Lender (it being understood that Section 2.9 does not provide for scheduled dates fixed for payment) or for the reduction of such Lender’s Commitment;

105

provided, further, that:

(i) any modification of the application of payments to the Loans pursuant to Section 2.9 or the reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to Section 2.5 shall require the consent of the Requisite Lenders;

(ii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by any Special Purpose Vehicle that has been granted an option pursuant to Section 11.2(f), affect the grant or nature of such option or the right or duties of such Special Purpose Vehicle hereunder;

(iii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the applicable Facility Agent in addition to the Lenders required above to take such action, affect the rights or duties of such Facility Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; and

(iv) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Swing Loan Lender in addition to the Lenders required above to take such action, affect the rights or duties of the Swing Loan Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; and

provided, further, that (i) the Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Borrower, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any other Loan Document to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, so long as such amendment, modification or supplement does not adversely affect the rights of any Lender or any Issuer, (ii) Schedule I (Commitments) may be amended from time to time by the Administrative Agent alone to reflect assignments of Commitments in accordance herewith and any increase in the Commitment of any Lender or any new Commitment of any Lender made in accordance herewith (including, without limitation, in accordance with clause (B) above or with respect to a Facility Increase) (with the Administrative Agent agreeing to remit to the Borrower a copy of any such amended Schedule I; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent to so remit such copy shall not affect any such assignment or any such increase in or new Commitment and shall not create any liability against the Administrative Agent), (iii) any Loan Documents may be amended from time to time by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the relevant Loan Party alone (i.e. without any Lender consent or approval) to add a Subsidiary of Group as a Subsidiary Guarantor or as a grantor under a Collateral Document or to subject to the Lien of any applicable Loan Document assets or property not then subject to the Lien of such Loan Document and (iv) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the administrative agent under the Canadian Facility (so long as the Canadian Facility is in effect) in addition to the other Persons required above to take such action, (x) release, remove or eliminate any of the obligations of the Loan Parties under the Loan Party Canadian Facility Guaranty from the definition of Secured Obligations or otherwise from the obligations secured by the Collateral Documents, (y) change or delete the definition of Loan Party Canadian Facility Guaranty or (z) amend this Section 11.1 in a manner such that any such amendment, waiver or consent or any amendment, waiver or consent under clause (a)(i) above (as to clause tenth of Section 2.13(h)) would no longer require the written approval of the administrative agent under the Canadian Facility.

(b) The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the written concurrence of any applicable Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of such Lender. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

106

(c) In connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination (a “Proposed Change”) requiring the consent of all affected Lenders or of the Super-Majority Lenders, if the consent of Requisite Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other applicable Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in this Section 11.1 being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, as long as the Lender that is acting as the Administrative Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender and there is no continuing Event of Default, at the Borrower’s request (and at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense), the Administrative Agent or an Eligible Assignee that is acceptable to the Administrative Agent shall have the right with the Administrative Agent’s consent and in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion (but shall have no obligation) to purchase from such Non-Consenting Lender, and such Non-Consenting Lender agrees that it shall, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, sell and assign to the Lender that is acting as the Administrative Agent or such Eligible Assignee all of the Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Outstandings of such Non-Consenting Lender for an amount equal to the principal balance of all Loans held by the Non-Consenting Lender and all accrued and unpaid interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of sale; provided, however, that such purchase and sale shall be recorded in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent and not be effective until (x) the Administrative Agent shall have received from such Eligible Assignee an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower whereby such Eligible Assignee shall agree to be bound by the terms hereof and (y) such Non-Consenting Lender shall have received payments of all Loans held by it and all accrued and unpaid interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of the sale. Each Lender agrees that, if it becomes a Non-Consenting Lender, it shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance to evidence such sale and purchase; provided, however, that the failure of any Non-Consenting Lender to execute an Assignment and Acceptance shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment) invalid and such assignment shall be recorded in the Register.

Section 11.2 Assignments and Participations.

(a) Each Lender may sell, transfer, negotiate or assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder (including all of its rights and obligations with respect to the Revolving Loans, the Swing Loans and the Letters of Credit); provided, however, that:

(i) if any such assignment shall be of the assigning Lender’s Revolving Credit Outstandings and Revolving Credit Commitment, such assignment shall cover the same percentage of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Outstandings and Revolving Credit Commitment;

(ii) the aggregate amount being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event (if less than the Assignor’s entire interest) be less than $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, except (I) with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent or (II) if such assignment is being made to a Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of such Lender; and

(iii) if such Eligible Assignee is not, prior to the date of such assignment, a Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of a Lender, such assignment shall be subject to the prior consent of the Administrative Agent, each Issuer and the Borrower (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

107

and provided, further, that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 11.2, the consent of the Borrower shall not be required for any assignment occurring when any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(b) The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register (as defined in clause (c) below), an Assignment and Acceptance. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording in the Register and the receipt by the Administrative Agent from the assignee of an assignment fee in the amount of $3,500 (other than in the case of an assignment by a Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender or by any Agent or their respective Affiliates) from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, (i) the assignee thereunder shall become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations under the Loan Documents have been assigned to such assignee pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender, and if such Lender were an Issuer, of such Issuer hereunder and thereunder, and (ii) the assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (except those which survive the payment in full of the Obligations) and be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, other than those relating to events or circumstances occurring prior to such assignment (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 11.8 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recording of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Issuers, the Revolving Credit Commitments of and principal amount of the Revolving Loans, Swing Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations (specifying the Reimbursement Obligations) owing to each Lender and each Issuer from time to time (the “Revolving Credit Facility Register” or the “Register”). The entries in the Revolving Credit Facility Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Revolving Credit Facility Register as a Lender or as an Issuer, as the case may be, for all purposes of this Agreement. The Revolving Credit Facility Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and the Facility Agents at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. No Revolving Loan, Swing Loan, Letter of Credit Obligation, Reimbursement Obligation, nor any Assignment and Acceptance or Assumption Agreement, shall be effective unless it is entered in the Register in due course.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in clause (b) above, the Loans and drawn Letters of Credit are registered obligations and the right, title, and interest of the Lenders and Issuers, as the case may be, and their assignees in and to such Loans or drawn Letters of Credit, as the case may be, shall be transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the Register. This Section 11.2 shall be construed so that the Loans and drawn Letters of Credit are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related regulations (or any other relevant or successor provisions of the Code or such regulations). Solely for purposes of this Section 11.2 and for tax purposes only, the Administrative Agent shall act as the Borrower’s agent for purposes of maintaining the Register and such notations of transfer in the Register.

(e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower.

108

(f) In addition to the other assignment rights provided in this Section 11.2, each Lender may do each of the following:

(i) grant to a Special Purpose Vehicle the option to make all or any part of any Loan that such Lender would otherwise be required to make hereunder and the exercise of such option by any such Special Purpose Vehicle and the making of Loans pursuant thereto shall satisfy (once and to the extent that such Loans are made) the obligation of such Lender to make such Loans thereunder, provided, however, that (x) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment or an offer to commit by such a Special Purpose Vehicle to make Loans hereunder and no such Special Purpose Vehicle shall be liable for any indemnity or other Obligation (other than the making of Loans for which such Special Purpose Vehicle shall have exercised an option, and then only in accordance with the relevant option agreement) and (y) such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain responsible to the other parties for the performance of its obligations under the terms of this Agreement and shall remain the holder of the Obligations for all purposes hereunder; and

(ii) assign, as collateral or otherwise, any of its rights under this Agreement, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (including rights to payments of principal or interest on the Loans), to (A) without notice to or consent of the Administrative Agent, any Issuer or the Borrower, any Federal Reserve Bank (pursuant to Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board) and (B) without consent of the Administrative Agent, any Issuer or the Borrower, (1) any holder of, or trustee for the benefit of, the holders of such Lender’s Securities and (2) any Special Purpose Vehicle to which such Lender has granted an option pursuant to clause (i) above;

provided, however, that no such assignment or grant shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder except as expressly provided in clause (i) above and except, in the case of a subsequent foreclosure pursuant to an assignment as collateral, if such foreclosure is made in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 11.2 other than this clause (f) or clause (g) below. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior debt of any such Special Purpose Vehicle, such party shall not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, any Special Purpose Vehicle that has been granted an option pursuant to this clause (f) any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or liquidation proceeding (such agreement shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations). The terms of the designation of, or assignment to, such Special Purpose Vehicle shall not restrict such Lender’s ability to, or grant such Special Purpose Vehicle the right to, consent to any amendment or waiver to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or to the departure by the Borrower from any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document without the consent of such Special Purpose Vehicle except, as long as the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, Issuers and other Secured Parties shall continue to, and shall be entitled to continue to, deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement, to the extent any such consent would reduce the principal amount of, or the rate of interest on, any Obligations, amend this clause (f) or postpone any scheduled date of payment of such principal or interest. Each Special Purpose Vehicle shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.14(d), Section 2.15, and Section 2.16 as if it were such Lender; provided, however, that anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower shall not, at any time, be obligated to make under Section 2.14(d), Section 2.15, or Section 2.16 to any such Special Purpose Vehicle and any such Lender any payment in excess of the amount the Borrower would have been obligated to pay to such Lender in respect of such interest if such Special Purpose Vehicle had not been assigned the rights of such Lender hereunder. In

109

addition, each Lender granting a Special Purpose Vehicle the option to make all or any part of any Loan that such Lender would otherwise be required to make pursuant to clause (i) above, (x) shall keep a register, meeting the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 5f.103-1(c), of each Special Purpose Vehicle which has funded all or any part of any Loans that such Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement, specifying such Special Purpose Vehicle’s entitlement to payments of principal and interest with respect to such Loans and (y) shall collect (and deliver copies thereof to each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower), prior to the time such Special Purpose Vehicle receives payments with respect to such funded Loans, from each Special Purpose Vehicle the appropriate forms, certificates and statements described in Section 2.16(f) (and updated as required by Section 2.16(f)) as if such Special Purpose Vehicle were a Lender under Section 2.16(f).

(g) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (including all its rights and obligations with respect to the Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit). The terms of such participation shall not, in any event, require the participant’s consent to any amendments, waivers or other modifications of any provision of any Loan Documents, the consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, or to the exercising or refraining from exercising any powers or rights such Lender may have under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including the right to enforce the obligations of the Loan Parties), except if any such amendment, waiver or other modification or consent would (i) reduce the amount, or postpone any date fixed for, any amount (whether of principal, interest or fees) payable to such participant under the Loan Documents, to which such participant would otherwise be entitled under such participation or (ii) result in the release of all or substantially all of the Collateral other than in accordance with Section 10.7(b). In the event of the sale of any participation by any Lender, (w) such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (x) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties for the performance of such obligations, (y) such Lender shall remain the holder of such Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement and (z) the Borrower, the Agents, the Issuers 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. Each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14(d), Section 2.15 and Section 2.16 as if it were a Lender; provided, however, that anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower shall not, at any time, be obligated to make any payment under Sections 2.14(d), Section 2.15 and Section 2.16 to the participants in the rights and obligations of any Lender (together with such Lender) in excess of the amount the Borrower would have been obligated to pay to such Lender in respect of such interest had such participation not been sold; and provided, further, that such participant in the rights and obligations of such Lender shall have no direct right to enforce any of the terms of this Agreement against the Borrower, any Agent or the other Lenders.

(h) Any Issuer may at any time assign its rights and obligations hereunder to any other Lender by an instrument in form and substance satisfactory to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, such Issuer and such Lender, subject to the provisions under this Section 11.2 relating to notations of transfer in the Register.

(i) For purposes of this Section 11.2, with respect to each Letter of Credit, if an Issuer transfers its rights with respect to the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligation with respect to a Letter of Credit such Issuer shall give notice of such transfer to the Administrative Agent for notation in the Revolving Credit Facility Register. If any Issuer ceases to be a Lender hereunder by virtue of any assignment made pursuant to this Section 11.2, then, as of the effective date of such cessation, such Issuer’s obligations to Issue Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.4 shall terminate and such Issuer shall be an Issuer hereunder only with respect to outstanding Letters of Credit Issued prior to such date.

110

Section 11.3 Costs and Expenses.

(a) Group and the Borrower agree, jointly and severally, upon demand to pay, or reimburse each Facility Agent and BAS for, all of such Facility Agent’s and BAS’s reasonable internal and external audit, legal, appraisal, valuation, filing, document duplication and reproduction and investigation expenses and for all other reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of every type and nature (including the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of the Facility Agents’ counsel, Xxxx Xxxxxxx LLP, local legal counsel, auditors, accountants, appraisers, printers, insurance advisers, and other consultants and agents) incurred by such Facility Agent or BAS in connection with (i) such Facility Agent’s or BAS’s audit and investigation of any of the Warnaco Entities in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of the Loan Documents and the Administrative Agent’s periodic audits of any of the Warnaco Entities, as the case may be; (ii) the preparation, negotiation, execution and interpretation of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the satisfaction or attempted satisfaction of any of the conditions set forth in Article III), the other Loan Documents and any proposal letter or commitment letter issued in connection therewith and the making of the Loans hereunder; (iii) the creation, perfection or protection of the Liens under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, any reasonable fees and expenses for local counsel in various jurisdictions); (iv) the ongoing administration of this Agreement and the Loans, including consultation with attorneys in connection therewith and with respect to the rights and responsibilities of each Facility Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; (v) the protection, collection or enforcement of any of the Secured Obligations or the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents; (vi) the commencement, defense or intervention in any court proceeding relating in any way to any of the Secured Obligations, any Warnaco Entity, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; (vii) the response to, and preparation for, any subpoena or request for document production with which any Facility Agent or BAS is served or deposition or other proceeding in which any Facility Agent or BAS is called to testify, in each case, relating in any way to any of the Obligations, any Warnaco Entity, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; and (viii) any amendments, consents, waivers, assignments, restatements, or supplements to any of the Loan Documents and the preparation, negotiation, and execution of the same.

(b) Group and the Borrower further agree, jointly and severally, to pay or reimburse each Arranger, each Agent and each of the Lenders and Issuers upon demand for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees (including allocated costs of internal counsel and costs of settlement), incurred by such Arranger, such Agent, such Lender or such Issuer (i) in enforcing any Loan Document, any Secured Obligation or any security therefor or exercising or enforcing any other right or remedy available by reason of an Event of Default; (ii) in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided hereunder in the nature of a “work-out” or in any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding; (iii) in commencing, defending or intervening in any litigation or in filing a petition, complaint, answer, motion or other pleadings in any legal proceeding relating to any of the Secured Obligations, any Warnaco Entity and related to or arising out of any of the transactions contemplated hereby or by any of the other Loan Documents; and (iv) in taking any other action in or with respect to any suit or proceeding (bankruptcy or otherwise) described in any of clauses (i) through (iii) above.

111

Section 11.4 Indemnities.

(a) Group and the Borrower agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold harmless each Arranger, each Agent, each Lender and each Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates, and each of the directors, officers, employees, agents, representative, attorneys, consultants and advisors of or to any of the foregoing (including those retained in connection with the satisfaction or attempted satisfaction of any of the conditions set forth in Article III) (each such Person being an “Indemnitee”) from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, obligations, losses, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, disbursements and expenses of any kind or nature (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to any such Indemnitee) which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in connection with or arising out of any investigation, litigation or proceeding, whether or not any such Indemnitee is a party thereto, whether direct, indirect, or consequential and whether based on any federal, state or local law or other statutory regulation, securities or commercial law or regulation, or under common law or in equity, or on contract, tort or otherwise, in any manner relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Secured Obligation, any Letter of Credit or any act, event or transaction related or attendant to any thereof, or the use or intended use of the proceeds of any of the Loans or Letters of Credit or in connection with any investigation of any potential matter covered hereby (collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”); provided, however, that neither Group nor the Borrower shall not have any obligation under this Section 11.4 (i) to an Indemnitee with respect to any Indemnified Matter caused by or resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order, (ii) with respect to taxes (and amounts relating thereto), the indemnification for which shall be governed solely and exclusively by Section 2.16, and (iii) to an Indemnitee with respect to any Indemnified Matter that does not involve an act or omission of any Warnaco Entity or affiliate thereof and is brought by one Indemnitee against another Indemnitee. Without limiting the foregoing, Indemnified Matters include (i) all Environmental Liabilities and Costs arising from or connected with the past, present or future operations of any Warnaco Entity involving any property subject to a Collateral Document, or damage to real or personal property or natural resources or harm or injury alleged to have resulted from any Release of Contaminants on, upon or into such property or any contiguous real estate; (ii) any costs or liabilities incurred in connection with any Remedial Action concerning any Warnaco Entity; (iii) any costs or liabilities incurred in connection with any Environmental Lien; (iv) any costs or liabilities incurred in connection with any other matter under any Environmental Law, including CERCLA and applicable state property transfer laws, whether, with respect to any of such matters, such Indemnitee is a mortgagee pursuant to any leasehold mortgage, a mortgagee in possession, the successor in interest to any Warnaco Entity, or the owner, lessee or operator of any property of any Warnaco Entity by virtue of foreclosure, except, with respect to those matters referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above, to the extent incurred following (A) foreclosure by any Facility Agent, any Lender or any Issuer, or any Facility Agent, any Lender or any Issuer having become the successor in interest to any Warnaco Entity, and (B) attributable solely to acts of the Arrangers, the Facility Agents, such Lender or such Issuer or any agent on behalf of the Facility Agents or such Lender.

(c) Group and the Borrower agree, jointly and severally, that any indemnification or other protection provided to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to this Section 11.4) or any other Loan Document shall (i) survive payment in full of the Secured Obligations and (ii) inure to the benefit of any Person who was at any time an Indemnitee under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

112

Section 11.5 Limitation of Liability.

(a) Group and the Borrower agree, jointly and severally, that no Indemnitee shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract, tort or otherwise) to any Warnaco Entity or any equity holders or creditors of any Warnaco Entity for or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and in the other Loan Documents, except to the extent such liability is found in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In no event, however, shall any Indemnitee be liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages and each of Group and the Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees (for itself and on behalf of its Subsidiaries) not to xxx upon any such claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

(b) IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY AGENT AFFILIATE HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, LENDER, ISSUER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT OR CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PARTY OR ANY AGENT AFFILIATE’S TRANSMISSION OF APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET OR ANY USE OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SUCH LIABILITY OF ANY AGENT AFFILIATE IS FOUND IN A FINAL NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED PRIMARILY FORM SUCH AGENT AFFILIATE’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

Section 11.6 Right of Set-off. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender and each Affiliate of a Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other Indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of a Loan Party against any and all of the Secured Obligations now or hereafter existing whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Secured Obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set-off and application made by such Lender or its Affiliates; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section 11.6 are in addition to the other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which such Lender may have.

Section 11.7 Sharing of Payments, Etc.

(a) If any Lender (directly or through an Affiliate thereof) shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off or otherwise) on account of the Loans owing to it (including any interest or fees in respect thereof or amounts due pursuant to Section 11.3 or Section 11.4) or derived from Collateral (in each case, other than pursuant to Section 2.14, Section 2.15 or Section 2.16) in excess of its Ratable Portion of payments obtained by all the Lenders on account of such Obligations, such Lender (each, a “Purchasing Lender”) shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders (each, a “Selling Lender”) such participations in their Loans or other Obligations as shall be necessary to cause such Purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them.

113

(b) If any Lender shall, after the sharing of payments as set forth in clause (a) above, hold payments in excess of its Loans, such Lender shall pay such amounts to the Administrative Agent for application pursuant to Section 2.13(h).

(c) If all or any portion of any payment received by a Purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such purchase from each applicable Selling Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to such Purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Selling Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Selling Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from such Purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by such Purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered.

FORM OF ASSIGNMENT AND ACCEPTANCE

ASSIGNMENT AND ACCEPTANCE dated as of _____, 20_____ between [NAME OF ASSIGNOR] (the “Assignor”) and [NAME OF ASSIGNEE] (the “Assignee”).

Reference is made to the Credit Agreement, dated as of August _____, 2008 (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among Warnaco Inc., as borrower (the “Borrower”), The Warnaco Group, Inc., the Lenders and Issuers party thereto, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent for the Revolving Credit Facility (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) and as Collateral Agent for the Lenders and the Issuers (together with the Administrative Agent, the “Facility Agents”), and the other Persons party thereto. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein are used herein as defined in the Credit Agreement.

The Assignor and the Assignee hereby agree as follows:

As of the Effective Date (as defined below), the Assignor hereby sells and assigns to the Assignee, and the Assignee hereby purchases and assumes from the Assignor, all of the Assignor’s rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement to the extent related to the amounts and percentages specified on Section 1 of Schedule I hereto.

The Assignor (a) represents and warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned by it hereunder and that such interest is free and clear of any adverse claim, (b) makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto and (c) makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Warnaco Entity or the performance or observance by any Loan Party of any of its obligations under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto.

The Assignee (a) agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Facility Agents, the Assignor or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Credit Agreement, (b) appoints and authorizes each Facility Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to each such Facility Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, (c) agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations that, by the terms of the Credit Agreement, are required to be performed by it as a Lender, (d) represents and warrants that it is an Eligible Assignee, (e) confirms it has received such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Assignment and Acceptance, (f) specifies as its Domestic Lending Office (and address for notices) and Eurodollar Lending Office the offices set forth beneath its name on the signature pages hereof and (g) attaches the forms prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service of the United States certifying as to the Assignee’s status for purposes of determining exemption from, or a reduced rate of withholding of, United States withholding taxes with respect to all payments to be made to the Assignee under the Credit Agreement if required to establish such exemption or reduction of withholding for such Assignee.

Following the execution of this Assignment and Acceptance by the Assignor and the Assignee, it will be delivered to the Administrative Agent (together with an assignment fee in the amount of $3,500 payable by the Assignee to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11.2(b)(Assignments and Participations)) for acceptance and recording in the Register by the Administrative Agent. The effective date of this Assignment and Acceptance shall be the effective date specified in Section 2 of Schedule I hereto (the “Effective Date”).

Upon such acceptance and recording in the Register by the Administrative Agent, then, as of the Effective Date, (a) the Assignee shall be a party to the Credit Agreement and, to the extent provided in this Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement of a Lender and, if such Lender were an Issuer, of such Issuer and (b) the Assignor shall, to the extent provided in this Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (except those surviving the payment in full of the Obligations) and be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents other than those relating to events or circumstances occurring prior to the Effective Date.
