1.4 Certain Matters of Construction.

The terms “herein”, “hereof” and “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular section, paragraph or subdivision. Each reference to a Section, an Exhibit or a Schedule shall be deemed to refer to a Section, an Exhibit or a Schedule, as applicable, of this Agreement unless otherwise specified. The terms “including” and other words of similar import refer to “including, but not limited” unless otherwise specified. Any pronoun used shall be deemed to cover all genders. Wherever appropriate in the context, terms used herein in the singular also include the plural and vice versa. All references to statutes (including the UCC) and related regulations shall include any amendments of same and any successor statutes and regulations.

1.5 Disclaimer of Liability on the LIBOR Benchmark Rate.

The interest rate on LIBOR Rate Loans calculated by reference to the Adjusted LIBOR Rate may be determined by reference to ICE LIBOR. LIBOR is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. In July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions to ICE (as defined in the definition of LIBOR) for purposes of ICE setting the LIBOR. As a result, it is possible that commencing in 2022, the Adjusted LIBOR Rate may no longer be available or may no longer be deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on Loans where the interest rate is calculated by reference to the Adjusted LIBOR Rate. In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR. In the event that the LIBOR is no longer available or in certain other circumstances as set forth in Section 3.9 of this Agreement, such Section 3.9 provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. Agent will notify Borrower pursuant to Section 3.9 in advance of any change to the LIBOR Rate. However, Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the London Interbank Offered Rate or other rates in the definition of the Adjusted LIBOR Rate or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof, including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate, as it may or may not be adjusted pursuant to Section 3.9(e), will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the Adjusted LIBOR Rate or have the same volume or liquidity as did LIBOR prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.

2. ADVANCES, PAYMENTS.

2.1 Revolving Advances.

(a) Revolving Advances. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.1(b) and 8), each Lender, severally and not jointly, agrees to make Revolving Advances according to its Commitment Percentage thereof to Borrowers (or Administrative Loan Party on behalf of Borrowers) from the Closing Date until the Termination Date. Revolving Advances shall be funded by Agent or Lenders (as applicable) in Dollars and shall be repaid in Dollars. To the extent required by a Lender, the Revolving Advances made by such Lender shall be evidenced by a promissory note in a form acceptable to Agent (each, a “Revolving Credit Note”; it being understood that no such promissory note shall include a grant of a Lien in favor of any individual Lender).

(b) Revolving Advance Limitations/Protective Advances and Over advances. The aggregate amount of the Revolving Advances (including, without limitation, Swingline Loan Advances) and the Letters of Credit outstanding at any time shall not (i) exceed the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount less the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount Reserves or (ii) except as provided in Section 2.11 with respect to Protective Advances and in Section 16.2(d) with respect to overadvances, cause Excess Availability to be less than $0.

(c) Swingline Loan Advances. Agent may convert any request by Borrowers for a Revolving Advance into a request for a Swingline Loan Advance from the Swingline Lender. The Swingline Loan Advance shall bear interest at the Swingline Loan Interest Rate and shall not exceed in the aggregate at any time outstanding the Maximum Swingline Loan Advance Amount. To the extent required by the Swingline Lender, the Swingline Loan Advances made by the Swingline Lender shall be evidenced by a promissory note in a form acceptable to Agent and the Swingline Lender (each, a “Swingline Loan Note”). Upon the making of a Swingline Loan Advance (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default), without further action by any party hereto, each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from the Swingline Lender or Agent, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation to the extent of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage in such Swingline Loan Advance. To the extent that there is no settlement in accordance with Section 2.12(c) below, the Swingline Lender or Agent, as the case may be, may at any time, require Lenders to fund their participations. From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender is required to fund its participation in any Swingline Loan Advance, Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender, such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of all payments of principal and interest received by Agent in respect of such Swingline Loan Advance.

2.2 Procedure for Borrowing.

(a) Administrative Loan Party shall notify Agent of the request by any applicable Borrower(s) to incur a Revolving Advance hereunder. Such notice shall be in the form of the Notice of Advance Request attached hereto as Exhibit C or Borrower shall make request for borrowing via Stuckynet-Link within Xxxxxx NT/ABL and shall be required to be delivered by Administrative Loan Party to Agent on or prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York time) (i) on the Business Day of the date of such requested borrowing with respect to Base Rate Loans and (ii) three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such requested borrowing with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans. Each such notice shall include (A) an indication of which Borrower is requesting such Revolving Advance, (B) the amount of such proposed borrowing (which amount with respect to (1) LIBOR Rate Loans shall be in a minimum amount of $500,000 and in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof and (2) with respect to Base Rate Loans shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000), (C) the date of such proposed borrowing (which must be a Business Day) and (D) whether such borrowing is to be initially a LIBOR Rate Loan (and if so, the duration of the first (1^st) Interest Period therefor) or a Base Rate Loan. Additionally, any amount required to be paid as interest, fees, charges or other Obligations under this Agreement or any Other Document, at the election of Agent, shall be deemed a request by Borrowers for a Revolving Advance as of the date such payment is due, in the amount required to pay in full or in part such interest, fee, charge or other Obligation under this Agreement or any Other Document and such deemed request shall be irrevocable.

(b) Interest Periods for LIBOR Rate Loans shall be for one (1), two (2), three (3) or six (6) months. At the election of Agent or Required Lenders, no LIBOR Rate Loan shall be made available to Borrowers during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default. After giving effect to each LIBOR Rate Loan (or any conversion to a LIBOR Rate Loan), there shall not be outstanding more than five (5) LIBOR Rate Loans in the aggregate.

(c) Each Interest Period of a LIBOR Rate Loan shall commence on the date such LIBOR Rate Loan is made and shall end on such date as Administrative Loan Party may elect as set forth in clause (D) of Section 2.2(a); provided, that, the exact length of each Interest Period shall be determined in accordance with the practice of the interbank market for offshore Dollar deposits and no Interest Period shall end after the Termination Date.

(d) Administrative Loan Party shall elect the initial Interest Period applicable to a LIBOR Rate Loan by its notice of borrowing given to Agent pursuant to Section 2.2(a) or by its Notice of Conversion given to Agent pursuant to Section 2.2(e), as the case may be. Administrative Loan Party shall elect the duration of each succeeding Interest Period by giving irrevocable written notice to Agent of such duration not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan; provided, that, at the election of Agent or Required Lenders, no loan shall be converted to a LIBOR Rate Loan if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. If Agent does not receive timely notice of the Interest Period elected by Administrative Loan Party, Administrative Loan Party shall be deemed to have elected to convert to a Base Rate Loan subject to Section 2.2(e).

(e) Administrative Loan Party may, on the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to any outstanding LIBOR Rate Loan, or on any Business Day with respect to Base Rate Loans, convert any such loan into a loan of another type in the same aggregate principal amount; provided, that, any conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be made only on the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan; provided further, that, at the election of Agent or Required Lenders, no loan shall be converted to a LIBOR Rate Loan if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. If Borrowers desire to convert a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan or convert a LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan, Administrative Loan Party shall give Agent a Notice of Conversion not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior to such conversion, specifying the date of such conversion, the loans to be converted and if the conversion is from a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan, the duration of the first (1^st) Interest Period therefor. After giving effect to each such conversion, there shall not be outstanding more than the number of LIBOR Rate Loans permitted by Section 2.2(b).

(f) At the option of Borrowers and upon three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice, Borrowers may prepay the LIBOR Rate Loans in whole at any time or in part from time to time, without premium or penalty (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement), but with accrued interest on the principal being prepaid to the date of such repayment. Administrative Loan Party shall specify the date of prepayment of Advances which are LIBOR Rate Loans and the amount of such prepayment. In the event that any prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Loan is required or permitted on a date other than the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, Borrowers and each other Loan Party shall indemnify Agent and Lenders therefor in accordance with Section 2.2(g).

(g) Each Loan Party shall indemnify Agent and Lenders and hold Agent and Lenders harmless from and against any and all losses or expenses that Agent and Lenders may sustain or incur as a consequence of any prepayment, conversion of or any default by Borrowers in the payment of the principal of or interest on any LIBOR Rate Loan or failure by Borrowers to complete a borrowing of, a prepayment of or conversion of or to a LIBOR Rate Loan after notice thereof has been given, including, but not limited to, Agent’s and Lenders’ standard charges with respect to the foregoing and any interest payable by Agent or Lenders to lenders of funds obtained by any of them in order to make or maintain their respective LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Agent (or the applicable Lenders) to Administrative Loan Party and Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided, that, no such certificate shall be required in the case of Agent’s and Lenders’ standard charges with respect to the events indemnified in this Section 2.2(g)).

(h) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if any applicable law, treaty, regulation or directive, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall after the Closing Date make it unlawful for any Lender (for purposes of this Section 2.2(h), the term “Lender” shall include any Lender and the office or branch where any Lender or any corporation or bank controlling such Lender makes or maintains any LIBOR Rate Loans) to make or maintain its LIBOR Rate Loans, such Lender shall notify Agent and Administrative Loan Party, and upon such notification, the obligation of such Lender to make such LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder shall forthwith be cancelled and Borrowers shall, if any affected LIBOR Rate Loans are then outstanding, promptly upon notice from Agent, either pay all such affected LIBOR Rate

Loans or convert such affected LIBOR Rate Loans into Base Rate Loans (and following such notification any request for LIBOR Rate Loans from such Lender shall be deemed to be a request for Base Rate Loans). If any such payment or conversion of any LIBOR Rate Loan is made on a day that is not the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan, Borrowers shall pay Agent, upon Agent’s notice, such amount or amounts as may be necessary to compensate such Lender for any loss or expense sustained or incurred by such Lender in respect of such LIBOR Rate Loan as a result of such payment or conversion, including (but not limited to) any interest or other amounts payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by such Lender in order to make or maintain such LIBOR Rate Loan. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Agent (or the applicable Lenders) to Administrative Loan Party and Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

2.3 Disbursement of Advance Proceeds.

All Advances shall be disbursed from whichever office or other place Agent or Lenders, as applicable, may designate from time to time. During the Term, Borrowers may request, repay and reborrow Revolving Advances, all in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The proceeds of each Revolving Advance requested by Borrowers (or Administrative Loan Party on behalf of Borrowers) or deemed to have been requested by Borrowers (or Administrative Loan Party on behalf of Borrowers) under Section 2.2(a) shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement with respect to requested Revolving Advances, be made available to Borrowers on the Business Day so requested by way of credit to Borrowers’ operating account set forth on Schedule 2.3 in immediately available federal funds or other immediately available funds or, with respect to Revolving Advances deemed to have been requested by Borrowers (or Administrative Loan Party on behalf of Borrowers), be disbursed to Agent to be applied to the outstanding Obligations giving rise to such deemed request. If, on any given day, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in section 2.2(a), the account balance in the TD Bank Operating Account is less than zero dollars, subject to conditions precedent set forth in Section 8.2, Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorize and direct Agent, on behalf of Lenders, to make a Revolving Advance to Borrowers into the TD Bank Operating Account so that, after giving effect to such Revolving Advance, the account balance in the TD Bank Operating Account is not less than zero dollars.

2.4 [Reserved].

2.5 Repayment of Advances.

(a) The Revolving Advances shall be due and payable in full on the Termination Date subject to earlier prepayment as herein provided.

(b) The Borrowers recognize that the amounts evidenced by checks, notes, drafts or any other items of payment relating to and/or proceeds of Collateral may not be collectible by Agent on the date received. In consideration of Agent’s consideration (subject to the last sentence of this clause (b)) to conditionally credit Borrowers’ Account as of the Business Day on which Agent receives those items of payment, Borrowers agree that, in computing the charges under this Agreement, all items of payment shall be deemed applied by Agent on account of the

applicable Obligations on the date of confirmation to Agent by the Blocked Account bank or Depository Account bank, as provided for in Section 4.14(h), that such items of payment have been collected in good funds and finally credited to Agent’s account. Without limiting the above provisions of this clause (b), Agent is not, however, required to credit Borrowers’ Account for the amount of any item of payment which is unsatisfactory to Agent and Agent may charge Borrowers’ Account for the amount of any item of payment which is returned to Agent unpaid.

(c) All payments (including prepayments) of principal, interest and other amounts payable hereunder and under each Other Document shall be made to Agent at the Payment Account not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the due date therefor (or, if such due date is not a Business Day, on the next Business Day) in lawful money of the United States of America in funds immediately available to Agent. Any payment received by Agent subsequent to 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on any Business Day (regardless of whether such payment is due on such Business Day) shall be deemed received by Agent, and shall be applied to the applicable Obligations intended to be paid thereby, on the next Business Day. Agent shall have the right to effectuate payment on any and all Obligations due and owing hereunder by charging Borrowers’ Account or by making Revolving Advances as provided in Section 2.2.

(d) The Borrowers shall pay principal, interest, and all other amounts payable hereunder and under each Other Document without any deduction whatsoever, including, but not limited to, any deduction for any setoff or counterclaim.

(e) If, notwithstanding the terms of this Agreement or any Other Document, Agent or any Lender receives any payment from or on behalf of any Borrower or any other Loan Party in a currency other than the Currency Due, Agent or such Lender may convert the payment (including the monetary proceeds of realization upon any Collateral and any funds then held in a cash collateral account) into the Currency Due at exchange rate selected by Agent or such lender in the manner contemplated by Section 16.5 and Borrowers shall reimburse Agent and Lenders on demand for all costs they incur with respect thereto. To the extent permitted by law, the obligation shall be satisfied only to the extent of the amount actually received by Agent upon such conversion.

2.6 Repayment of Excess Advances.

If for any reason Excess Availability at any time is less than $0 or the balance of any or all of the outstanding Advances and Letters of Credit at any time is otherwise in excess of any applicable limitation set forth in this Agreement (subject to Section 16.2(d) with respect to over advances), such excess amount shall be immediately due and payable, without the necessity of any demand, at the Payment Account (it being understood and agreed that it shall be an Event of Default if at any time Excess Availability is less than $0).

2.7 Statement of Account.

Agent shall maintain, in accordance with its customary procedures, a loan account (the “Borrowers’ Account”) in the name of Borrowers in which shall be recorded the date and amount of each Advance made by Lenders and the date and amount of each payment in respect thereof; provided, however, that, the failure by Agent to record the date or amount of any Advance or any

other item shall not adversely affect Agent or any Lender under this Agreement or any Other Document or diminish any obligation of any Loan Party under this Agreement or any Other Document. Each month, Agent shall send to Administrative Loan Party a statement showing the accounting for the Advances made, payments made or credited in respect thereof, and certain other transactions between Lenders and Borrowers, during such month. The monthly statements shall be deemed correct and binding upon Borrowers in the absence of manifest error and shall constitute an account stated between Lenders and Borrowers unless Agent receives a written statement of Borrowers’ specific exceptions thereto within thirty (30) days after such statement is received by Administrative Loan Party. The records of Agent with respect to each Borrowers’ Account shall be conclusive evidence absent manifest error of the amounts of Advances and other charges thereto and of payments applicable thereto.

2.8 Letters of Credit.

Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Agent shall issue or cause the issuance of letters of credit (collectively, “Letters of Credit”) by the Issuer on behalf of Borrowers; provided, however, that, Agent will not be required to issue or cause to be issued any Letters of Credit to the extent that the face amount of such Letters of Credit would cause Excess Availability to be less than $0. The maximum amount of outstanding Letters of Credit shall not exceed $5,000,000 in the aggregate at any time. All outstanding reimbursement obligations and disbursements or payments related to Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be Base Rate Loans consisting of Revolving Advances and shall bear interest at the Interest Rate for Base Rate Loans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event that there is a Defaulting Lender, an Impacted Lender or Prior Defaulting/Impacted Lender, Issuing Bank shall not be required to (and, in any event, shall not if directed by Agent) issue any Letter of Credit, or increase or extend or otherwise amend any Letter of Credit, unless Borrowers provide cash collateral to Issuing Bank with respect thereto to hold, on terms and conditions satisfactory to Issuing Bank and Agent, in an amount equal to such Defaulting Lender’s, Impacted Lender’s or Prior Defaulting/Impacted Lender’s Commitment Percentage of all obligations in respect of Letters of Credit and in any such event, the Defaulting or Impacted Lender or Prior Defaulting or Impacted Lender shall not be entitled to any commitment fee or Letter of Credit Fees.

2.9 Issuance of Letters of Credit.

(a) Administrative Loan Party may request Agent to issue or cause the issuance of a Letter of Credit by delivering to Agent Issuer’s standard form of letter of credit application and, if requested, letter of credit security agreement (collectively, the “Letter of Credit Application”) and any draft, if applicable, completed to the satisfaction of Agent, together with such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as Agent or Issuer may reasonably request.

(b) Each Letter of Credit shall, among other things, (i) provide for the payment of sight drafts or acceptances of issuance drafts when presented for honor thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof and when accompanied by the documents described therein, (ii) be denominated in Dollars and (iii) have an expiry date not later than one (1) year after such Letter of Credit’s date of issuance, and in no event having an expiry date later than five (5) Business Days

prior to the Termination Date unless Loan Parties provide cash collateral equal to not less than one hundred five (105%) percent of the face amount thereof to be held by Agent pursuant to a cash collateral agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent; provided, that, any Letter of Credit with a one (1) year term may provide for the renewal thereof for additional one (1) year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (iii) above).

(c) Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to notify Lenders of the request by Administrative Loan Party for a Letter of Credit hereunder, but any failure to so notify Lenders shall not reduce any liability or any obligation of Lenders hereunder or any rights of Agent hereunder.

2.10 Requirements for Issuance of Letters of Credit.

(a) In connection with the issuance of any Letter of Credit, each Borrower shall indemnify, save and hold Agent, each Lender and each Issuer harmless from any loss, cost, expense or liability, including, without limitation, payments made by Agent, any Lender or any Issuer and expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Agent, any Lender or any Issuer arising out of, or in connection with, any Letter of Credit. The Borrowers shall be bound by Agent’s or Issuer’s regulations and good faith interpretations of any Letter of Credit, although this interpretation may be different from Borrowers’ own interpretation; and, neither Agent, nor any Lender, nor any Issuer shall be liable for any error, negligence, or mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in following any Borrower’s instructions or those contained in any Letter of Credit or of any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto or in issuing or paying any Letter of Credit except for Agent’s, any Lender’s, or any Issuer’s gross (not mere) negligence or willful misconduct, as determined pursuant to a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(b) The Borrowers shall authorize and direct any Issuer of a Letter of Credit to deliver to Agent all related payment/acceptance advices, to deliver to Agent all instruments, documents, and other writings and property received by the Issuer pursuant to the Letter of Credit and to accept and rely upon Agent’s instructions and agreements with respect to all matters arising in connection with the Letter of Credit or the application therefor.

(c) In connection with all Letters of Credit issued or caused to be issued by Agent under this Agreement, each Borrower hereby appoints Agent, or its designee, as its attorney, with full power and authority upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default: (i) to sign and/or endorse each Borrower’s name upon any warehouse or other receipts, Letter of Credit Applications and acceptances; (ii) to sign each Borrower’s name on bills of lading; (iii) to clear Inventory through Customs in the name of each Borrower or Agent or Agent’s designee, and to sign and deliver to Customs officials powers of attorney in the name of each Borrower for such purpose; and (iv) to complete in each Borrower’s name or Agent’s, or in the name of Agent’s designee, any order, sale or transaction, obtain the necessary documents in connection therewith, and collect the proceeds thereof. Neither Agent nor its attorneys will be liable for any acts or omissions nor for any error of judgment or mistakes of fact or law, except for Agent’s or its attorney’s gross (not mere) negligence or willful misconduct, as determined pursuant to a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. This power, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable as long as any Letters of Credit remain outstanding.

(d) Each Lender, according to its Commitment Percentage, shall to the extent of the aggregate amount of all unreimbursed reimbursement obligations arising from disbursements made or obligations incurred with respect to the Letters of Credit be deemed to have irrevocably purchased an undivided participation in (i) each such unreimbursed reimbursement obligation, (ii) Agent’s credit support enhancement provided to the Issuer of any Letter of Credit and (iii) each Revolving Advance made as a consequence of the issuance of a Letter of Credit and all disbursements thereunder. In the event that at the time a disbursement is made the unpaid balance of Revolving Advances exceeds or would exceed, with the making of such disbursement, the amount permitted under Section 2.1, and such disbursement is not reimbursed by Borrowers within two (2) Business Days, upon Agent’s demand each Lender shall pay to Agent such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such unreimbursed disbursement together with such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of Agent’s unreimbursed costs and expenses relating to such unreimbursed disbursement. Upon receipt by Agent of a repayment from Borrowers of any amount disbursed by Agent for which Agent had already been reimbursed by Lenders, Agent shall deliver to each Lender that Lender’s proportionate share of such repayment. Each Lender’s participation commitment shall continue until the last to occur of any of the following events: (A) Agent ceases to be obligated to issue or cause to be issued Letters of Credit hereunder; (B) no Letter of Credit issued hereunder remains outstanding and uncancelled or (C) Agent, Issuer and all Persons (other than Borrowers) have been fully reimbursed for all payments made under or relating to Letters of Credit.

2.11 Additional Payments/Protective Advances.

Any sums expended (a) by Agent or any Lender due to any Loan Party’s failure to perform or comply with its Obligations under this Agreement or any Other Document, or (b) by Agent to protect the Collateral or enhance the likelihood of repayment of the Obligations or any portion thereof (as determined by Agent in its Permitted Discretion) may, in Agent’s Permitted Discretion, be charged to Borrowers’ Account as a Revolving Advance (regardless of whether or not the conditions specified in this Agreement for the making of a Revolving Advance have been satisfied, including, without limitation, Sections 2.1 or 8.2) and added to the Obligations, and each Lender shall be obligated in connection therewith as if such conditions had been satisfied (including, without limitation, to fund its Commitment Percentage of such Revolving Advances). Such sums charged to Borrowers’ Account as a Revolving Advance (collectively, “Protective Advances”), plus the amount of intentional over-Advances made pursuant to Section 16.2(d), shall not exceed an amount outstanding equal to ten (10%)percent of the Maximum Credit without the consent of each of Lenders. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 2.12 to the contrary, any proposed Protective Advance shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.1(b)(i).

2.12 Manner of Borrowing and Payment.

(a) Each borrowing of Advances shall be advanced according to the applicable Commitment Percentages of Lenders.

(b) All proceeds of Collateral, together with each payment (including each prepayment) by Borrowers on account of the principal of the Advances, shall be applied to the Advances pro rata according to the applicable Commitment Percentages of Lenders. Except as expressly provided herein, all payments (including prepayments) to be made by Borrowers on account of principal, interest and fees shall be made in Dollars without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made to Agent on behalf of Agent and Lenders to the Payment Account, in each case on or prior to the time specified in Section 2.5(c) in immediately available funds.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Sections 2.13(a) and 2.13(b) or any other provision of this Agreement, commencing with the first (1^st) Business Day following the Closing Date, each or any borrowing of Advances may, in Agent’s Permitted Discretion, be advanced by Agent (on behalf of Lenders) and each payment by Borrowers on account of Advances shall be applied first to those Advances advanced by Agent (any such Advance provided by Agent may (at the discretion of Agent) accrue interest as a Base Rate Loan, regardless of whether or not Borrowers requested such Advance be a LIBOR Rate Loan, until Agent is reimbursed for such Advance). Alternatively, Agent may request that each Lender (and each Lender shall) on or before 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the requested borrowing date, transfer in immediately available funds to Agent such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such requested borrowing. On each Settlement Date commencing with the first (1^st) Settlement Date following the Closing Date, Agent and Lenders shall make certain payments as follows: (i) if a Lender’s balance of the Advances (including Protective Advances and Swingline Loan Advances) exceeds such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Advances (including Protective Advances and Swingline Loan Advances) as of a Settlement Date, then Agent shall transfer in immediately available funds to a deposit account of such Lender (as such Lender may designate in writing to Agent) an amount such that each such Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have as of the Settlement Date, its Commitment Percentage of the Advances (including Protective Advances and Swingline Loan Advances) and (ii) if a Lender’s balance of the Advances (including Protective Advances and Swingline Loan Advances) is less than such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Advances (including Protective Advances and Swingline Loan Advances) as of a Settlement Date, such Lender shall transfer in immediately available funds to Agent, not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time), an amount such that each such Lender shall, upon transfer of such amount, have as of the Settlement Date, its Commitment Percentage of the Advances (including Protective Advances and Swingline Loan Advances).

(d) A Lender shall be entitled to earn interest at the applicable Interest Rate on outstanding Advances which such Lender has funded for the periods in which such Advance was so funded by such Lender. Agent shall be entitled to earn interest at the applicable Interest Rate on outstanding Advances (including Protective Advances and Swingline Loan Advances) which Agent has funded for the periods in which such Advance (including Protective Advances and Swingline Loan Advances) was so funded by Agent.

(e) Promptly following each Settlement Date, Agent shall submit to each Lender a certificate with respect to payments received and Advances made during the Week immediately preceding such Settlement Date. Such certificate of Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(f) If any Lender or Participant (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Advances, or interest thereon, or receive any Collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by set-off) in a greater proportion than any such payment to and Collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Advances, or interest thereon, and such greater proportionate payment or receipt of Collateral is not expressly permitted hereunder, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participation in such portion of each such other Lender’s Advances, or shall provide such other Lender with the benefits of any such Collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such Collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the other Lenders according to their Commitment Percentages thereof; provided, however, that, if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Each Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lender’s Advances may exercise all rights of payment (including, without limitation, rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Lender were the direct holder of such portion.

(g) Unless Agent shall have been notified in writing, prior to the making of any Advance, by any Lender that such Lender will not make the amount which would constitute its applicable Commitment Percentage of the Advances available to Agent, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) assume that such Lender shall make (and such Lender unconditionally shall be obligated to make) such amount available to Agent on or prior to the next Settlement Date and, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Administrative Loan Party (on behalf of the applicable Borrower(s)) a corresponding amount. Agent will promptly notify Administrative Loan Party of its receipt of any such notice from a Lender. If such amount is made available to Agent on a date after such next Settlement Date, such Lender shall pay to Agent on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) the daily average Federal Funds Rate (computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days) during such period as quoted by Agent, times (ii) such amount, times (iii) the number of days from and including such Settlement Date to the date on which such amount becomes immediately available to Agent. A certificate of Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph (g) shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error. If such amount is not in fact made available to Agent by such Lender within three (3) Business Days after such Settlement Date, Agent shall be entitled to recover such an amount, with interest thereon at the rate per annum then applicable to such Advance hereunder, on demand from Borrowers; provided, however, that, Agent’s right to such recovery shall not prejudice or otherwise adversely affect Borrowers’ rights (if any) against such Lender.

2.13 Mandatory Prepayments.

Notwithstanding the following, during a Waterfall Event, the order of application to the Obligations shall be made pursuant to Section 11.2 rather than as is provided in this Section 2.13.

(a) At any time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Dominion Event, when any Loan Party or any of their Subsidiaries Disposes of any Collateral or other assets (other than sales of Inventory in the ordinary course of business) or receives proceeds of property or casualty insurance, within one (1) Business Day thereof, Loan Parties shall repay

the Advances in an amount equal to one hundred (100%) percent of the net cash proceeds of such sale (i.e., gross cash proceeds less the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in respect of such Dispositions (including any taxes and similar amounts)) or all of the cash proceeds of such insurance, as applicable, such repayments to be made promptly but in no event more than one (1) Business Day following receipt of such proceeds, and until the date of payment, such proceeds shall be held in trust for Agent. Such repayments shall be applied to the remaining Revolving Advances in such order as Agent may determine until paid in full, subject to Borrowers’ ability to reborrow Revolving Advances in accordance with the terms hereof. The provisions of this Section 2.13(a) shall not be deemed to be implied consent to any such Disposition otherwise prohibited by the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any Other Document.

(b) At any time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Dominion Event, within one (1) Business Day of the date of receipt by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries of any Extraordinary Receipts, Borrowers shall prepay the outstanding amount of the Advances in an amount equal to one hundred (100%) percent of such Extraordinary Receipts, net of any reasonable out of pocket fees and expenses incurred in collecting such Extraordinary Receipts. Such Extraordinary Receipts shall be applied to the remaining Revolving Advances in such order as Agent may determine until paid in full, subject to Borrowers’ ability to reborrow Revolving Advances in accordance with the terms hereof. The provisions of this Section 2.13(b) shall not be deemed to be implied consent to any event giving rise to such Extraordinary Receipts otherwise prohibited by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(c) At any time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Dominion Event, within one (1) Business Day of the date of the issuance by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries of any shares of its or their Equity Interests (other than (i) the issuance of Equity Interests to another Loan Party or Subsidiary thereof, and (ii) the issuance of Equity Interests of Parent to directors, officers and employees of a Loan Party and any of their respective Subsidiaries pursuant to employee stock option plans (or other employee incentive plans or other compensation arrangements) approved by the board of directors of Parent and (iii) the issuance of Equity Interests of Parent, to the extent the proceeds thereof are used concurrently with the issuance thereof to fund the purchase price of a Permitted Acquisition), Borrowers shall prepay the outstanding amount of the Advances in an amount equal to one hundred (100%) percent of the net cash proceeds net cash proceeds of such sale (i.e., gross cash proceeds less the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in respect of such issuance (including any taxes and similar amounts)) received by such Person in connection with such issuance. Such proceeds shall be applied to the remaining Revolving Advances in such order as Agent may determine until paid in full, subject to Borrowers’ ability to reborrow Revolving Advances in accordance with the terms hereof. The provisions of this Section 2.13(c) shall not be deemed to be implied consent to any such issuance otherwise prohibited by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

2.14 Use of Proceeds.

The Borrowers shall use the initial proceeds of the Advances and Letters of Credit hereunder only for: (a) payments on the Closing Date to each of the Persons listed in the disbursement direction letter furnished by Borrowers to Agent on or about the Closing Date and (b) costs, expenses and fees incurred on or prior to the Closing Date in connection with the

preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Other Documents. All other Advances made or Letters of Credit provided to or for the benefit of Borrowers pursuant to the provisions hereof shall be used by Borrowers only for general operating, working capital, to fund Permitted Acquisitions and other general corporate purposes of Borrowers, in each case not otherwise prohibited by the terms hereof. Further, none of the proceeds will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin security or for the purposes of reducing or retiring any Indebtedness which was originally incurred to purchase or carry any margin security or for any other purpose which might cause any of the Advances to be considered a “purpose credit” within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, as amended. No part of the proceeds of any Advance or Letter of Credit will be used, directly or indirectly, to make any payments to a Sanctioned Entity or a Sanctioned Person, to fund any investments, loans or contributions in, or otherwise make such proceeds available to, a Sanctioned Entity or a Sanctioned Person, to fund any operations, activities or business of a Sanctioned Entity or a Sanctioned Person, or in any other manner that would result in a violation of Sanctions by any Person, and no part of the proceeds of any Loan or Letter of Credit will be used, directly or indirectly, in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization of the payment or giving of money, or anything else of value, to any Person in violation of any Sanctions, Anti-Corruption Laws or Anti-Money Laundering Laws.

2.15 Defaulting Lender/Impacted Lender.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event any Lender (i) has refused (if the refusal constitutes a breach by such Lender of its obligations under this Agreement) to make available its portion of any Advance, (ii) notifies either Agent or Administrative Loan Party that it does not intend to make available its portion of any Advance (if the actual refusal would constitute a breach by such Lender of its obligations under this Agreement), or (iii) failed to fund any payments required to be made by it under this Agreement or any Other Document (each, a “Lender Default”), all rights and obligations hereunder of such Lender (a “Defaulting Lender”) as to which a Lender Default is in effect and of the other parties hereto shall be modified to the extent of the express provisions of this Section 2.15 while such Lender Default remains in effect.

(b) The obligations of each Lender to make Advances shall continue to be based on their respective Commitment Percentages, and no Commitment Percentage of any Lender or any Commitment Percentage of any Advances required to be advanced by any Lender shall be increased as a result of a Lender Default. Amounts received in respect of the Obligations owing to Lenders shall be applied to reduce the applicable Obligations owing to each Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender prior to any such amounts being applied to reduce the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender to the extent that the aggregate amount of outstanding Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender is less than what it would have been if such Lender Default did not occur.

(c) Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, a Defaulting Lender shall not have any voting or consent rights, or be permitted to direct Agent, under or with respect to this Agreement or any Other Document or constitute a “Lender” (or be included in the calculation of “Required Lenders” hereunder) for any voting or consent rights, or in directing

Agent, under or with respect to this Agreement or any Other Document; provided, that, the foregoing shall not permit (i) an increase in the principal amount of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment, (ii) the reduction of the principal of, rate of interest on (other than the waiver of any default rate) or fees payable with respect to any Loan or Letter of Credit of such Defaulting Lender or (iii) unless all other Lenders affected thereby are treated similarly, the extension of any scheduled (as opposed to mandatory prepayment) payment date or final maturity date of the principal among of any Loan of such Defaulting Lender.

(d) Other than as expressly set forth in this Section 2.15, the rights and obligations of a Defaulting Lender (including the obligation to indemnify Agent; provided, that, to the extent that a Defaulting Lender fails to timely indemnify Agent or any Issuer pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any Other Document, the other Lenders shall contribute to such shortfall in such indemnification according to their Commitment Percentages thereof) and the other parties hereto shall remain unchanged. Nothing in this Section 2.15 shall be deemed to release any Defaulting Lender from its obligations under this Agreement and the Other Documents, shall alter such obligations, shall operate as a waiver of any default by such Defaulting Lender hereunder, or shall prejudice any rights which Borrowers, Agent or any Lender may have against any Defaulting Lender as a result of any default by such Defaulting Lender hereunder. At the option of Agent, any amount payable to a Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by Agent as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender in respect of any Advance or existing or future participating interest in any Swingline Loan Advance or Letter of Credit (including the obligation to indemnify Agent pursuant to Section 14.7). The Defaulting Lender’s decision-making and participation rights and rights to payments hereunder shall be restored only upon the payment by the Defaulting Lender of its Commitment Percentage of any Obligations, any participation obligation, or expenses as to which it is delinquent, together with interest thereon at the rate set forth in Section 2.13(g) hereof from the date when originally due until the date upon which any such amounts are actually paid.

(e) In the event a Defaulting Lender retroactively cures to the satisfaction of Agent the breach which caused a Lender to become a Defaulting Lender, then, from and after the date on which such cure has been so effected, such Defaulting Lender shall no longer be a Defaulting Lender and shall be treated as a Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender under this Agreement.

(f) Agent may replace a Defaulting Lender or an Impacted Lender in accordance with Section 16.2(c).

2.16 Joint and Several Liability.

(a) All Borrowers shall be liable, on a joint and several basis, for all Obligations, including, without limitation, all amounts due to Agent and Lenders under this Agreement and the Other Documents, regardless of which Borrower actually receives the Advances or other proceeds of the Obligations or the manner in which Agent and Lenders account for such Advances or other Obligations on its books and records or for any other reason. The Obligations with respect to Advances made to a Borrower, and the Obligations arising as a result

of the joint and several liability of a Borrower hereunder, with respect to Advances made to the other Borrowers hereunder, shall be separate and distinct obligations, but all such Obligations shall be primary obligations of all Borrowers. The Obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of a Borrower hereunder with respect to Advances or other Obligations shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be unconditional irrespective of (i) the validity or enforceability, avoidance or subordination of the Obligations of the other Borrowers or of any promissory note or other document evidencing all or any part of the Obligations of the other Borrowers, (ii) any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of any other Borrower or other Person, (iii) the absence of any attempt to collect the Obligations from the other Borrowers or any other security therefor, or the absence of any other action to enforce or failure to realize the full value of the same, (iv) any amendment (however fundamental) replacement variation, assignment termination and/or the waiver, consent, extension, forbearance or granting of any indulgence by Agent or Lenders with respect to any provisions of any instrument evidencing the Obligations of the other Borrowers, or any part thereof, or any other agreement now or hereafter executed by the other Borrowers and delivered to Agent or Lenders, (v) the failure by Agent, Lenders or any other Person to take any steps to perfect and maintain its Lien in, or to preserve its rights and maintain its security or collateral for the Obligations of the other Borrowers, (vi) the election of Agent, Lenders or any other Person in any proceeding instituted under Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended (“Bankruptcy Code”), of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, (vii) the disallowance of all or any portion of the claim(s) of Agent, Lenders or any other Person for the repayment of the Obligations of the other Borrowers under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, (viii) any insolvency, liquidation, administration or similar procedure or corporate action in respect of any other Borrower and/or any legal proceedings or procedures by any of the other Borrowers’ creditors or (ix) any other circumstances which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of the other Borrowers. With respect to the Obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of a Borrower hereunder with respect to Advances, Letters of Credit or other Obligations, each Borrower waives, until all of the Obligations have been Paid in Full, any right to enforce any right of subrogation or any remedy which Agent, Lenders or any other Person now has or may hereafter have against Borrowers, any endorser or any guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations, and any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to Agent, Lenders or any other Person. Upon any Event of Default and for so long as the same is continuing, Agent and Lenders may proceed directly and at once, without notice, against any Borrower to collect and recover the full amount, or any portion of the Obligations, without first proceeding against the other Borrowers or any other Person, or against any security or collateral for the Obligations. Each Borrower consents and agrees that none of Agent, Lenders or any other Person shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Borrowers or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations.

(b) Each Borrower expressly waives any and all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity, exoneration, contribution of any other claim which such Borrower may now or hereafter have against the other Borrowers or any other Person directly or contingently liable for the Obligations hereunder, or against or with respect to the other Borrowers’ property (including, without limitation, any property which is Collateral for the Obligations), arising from the existence or performance of this Agreement.

2.17 Interrelated Businesses.

Loan Parties hereby represent and warrant to Agent and Lenders that (a) Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries make up a related organization of various entities constituting a single economic and business enterprise so that Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries share an identity of interests such that any benefit received by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party benefits each other Loan Party and each other Subsidiary of Loan Parties; (b) certain of Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries render services to or for the benefit of other Loan Parties and Subsidiaries, as the case may be, purchase or sell and supply goods to or from or for the benefit of the others, make loans, advances and provide other financial accommodations to or for the benefit of the other Loan Parties and Subsidiaries (including, inter alia, the payment by Loan Parties and Subsidiaries of creditors of the other Loan Parties and Subsidiaries and guarantees by Loan Parties and Subsidiaries of indebtedness of the other Loan Parties and Subsidiaries and provide administrative, marketing, payroll and management services to or for the benefit of the other Loan Parties and Subsidiaries), and (c) Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries have centralized accounting and legal service, common officers and directors and are identified to creditors as a single economic and business enterprise.

2.18 Appointment of Administrative Loan Party as Agent for Requesting Advances and Letters of Credit and Receipts of Advances and Statements and Receipts and Sending of Notices.

(a) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and constitutes Administrative Loan Party as its agent to request and receive Advances and Letters of Credit pursuant to this Agreement and the Other Documents from Agent or any Lender in the name or on behalf of such Borrower. Agent and Lenders may disburse the Advances to such bank account of Administrative Loan Party or a Borrower or otherwise make such Loans to a Borrower, and provide such Letters of Credit for the account of a Borrower, in each case as Administrative Loan Party may designate or direct, without notice to any other Borrower or Loan Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Agent may at any time and from time to time require that Advances (including without limitation Protective Advances) be disbursed directly to an operating account of a Borrower or to any other Person.

(b) Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably appoints and constitutes Administrative Loan Party as its agent to receive statements on account and all other notices from Agent and Lenders with respect to the Obligations or otherwise under or in connection with this Agreement and the Other Documents.

2.19 Increase in Maximum Credit.

(a) Subject to Section 2.19(f) below, Administrative Loan Party may, at any time, deliver a written request to Agent to increase the Maximum Credit; provided, that, (i) any such increase shall be subject to the consent of Agent and satisfaction of each of the conditions set forth in Section 2.19(c) below, (ii) any such written request shall specify the amount of the increase in the Maximum Credit that Administrative Loan Party is requesting; (iii) the aggregate amount of any and all such increases in the Maximum Credit shall not exceed $15,000,000 or cause the Maximum Credit to exceed $65,000,000, (iv) the amount of each increase in the Maximum Credit shall not be less than $5,000,000, (v) such requests may not be made more than two (2) times during any calendar year or more than three (3) times during the Term, and (vi) any such request shall be irrevocable.

(b) Upon the receipt by Agent of any such written request, Agent shall notify each of Lenders of such request and each Lender (other than Defaulting Lenders, Impacted Lenders and Prior Defaulting/Impacted Lender) shall have the option (but not the obligation) to increase the amount of its Revolver Commitment by an amount approved by Agent in its sole discretion of the amount of the increase in the Maximum Credit requested by Administrative Loan Party as set forth in the notice from Agent to such Lender. Each Lender shall notify Agent within ten (10) days after the receipt of such notice from Agent whether it is willing to so increase its Revolver Commitment, and if so, the amount of such increase; provided, that, (i) the minimum increase in the Revolving Commitment of each such Lender providing the additional Revolver Commitment shall equal or exceed $2,500,000, and (ii) no Lender shall be obligated to provide such increase in its Revolver Commitment and the determination to increase the Revolver Commitment of a Lender shall be within the sole and absolute discretion of such Lender.

In the event Lenders (or Lenders and any such Qualified Assignees, as the case may be) have committed in writing to provide increases in their Revolver Commitments or new Revolver Commitments in an aggregate amount in excess of the increase in the Maximum Credit requested by Administrative Loan Party or permitted hereunder, Agent shall then have the right to allocate such commitments, first to Lenders and then to Qualified Assignees, in such amounts and manner as Agent may determine, after consultation with Administrative Loan Party.

(c) The Maximum Credit shall be increased by the amount of the increase in Revolver Commitments from Lenders or new Commitments from Qualified Assignees, in each case selected in accordance with Section 2.19(b) above, for which Agent has received written confirmation in from and substance satisfactory to Agent from such Lenders or Qualified Assignees, as applicable, on the date requested by Administrative Loan Party for the increase or such other date as Agent and Administrative Loan Party may agree (but subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth below), whether or not the aggregate amount of the increase in Revolver Commitments and new Revolver Commitments, as the case may be, equal or exceed the amount of the increase in the Maximum Credit requested by Administrative Loan Party in accordance with the terms hereof (but in no event shall the Maximum Revolver Amount be increased above the amounts described in Section 2.19(a)), effective on the date that Agent notifies Administrative Loan Party that each of the following conditions have been satisfied (such date being the “Maximum Credit Increase Effective Date”):

(i) Agent shall have received from each Lender or Qualified Assignee that is providing an additional Revolver Commitment as part of the increase in the Maximum Credit, a written confirmation described above duly executed by such Lender or Qualified Assignee, Agent and Administrative Loan Party;

(ii) the conditions precedent to the making of Advances set forth in Section 8.2 shall be satisfied as of the date of the increase in the Maximum Credit, both before and after giving effect to such increase whether or not an Advance is then being made;

(iii) Upon the request of Agent, Agent shall have received an opinion of counsel to Loan Parties in form and substance and from counsel reasonably satisfactory to Agent addressing such matters as Agent may reasonably request (including an opinion that such increase shall not violate Material Contracts of Loan Parties), amendments to Mortgages and any other documents and agreements required by Agent with respect thereto;

(iv) such increase in the Maximum Credit on the date of the effectiveness thereof shall not violate any term or provisions of any applicable law, regulation or order or decree of any court or other Governmental Body and shall not be enjoined, temporarily, preliminarily or permanently;

(v) there shall have been paid to each Lender and Qualified Assignee, in each case, providing an additional Revolver Commitment in connection with such increase in the Maximum Credit all fees and expenses due and payable to such Person on or before the effectiveness of such increase, including, without limitation, all such fees payable pursuant to the Fee Letter; and

(vi) Agent shall have received an executed certificate of a senior officer of Administrative Loan Party, together with authorizing resolutions approving the increase in the Maximum Credit and all related amendments hereto and to the Other Documents in connection therewith, and certifying that Loan Parties are in compliance with all conditions hereunder to the effectiveness of an increase in the Maximum Credit, together with such other information as Agent may require, in each case in form and substance satisfactory to Agent.

(d) There shall have been paid to Agent, for the account of Agent and Lenders (in accordance with any agreement among them) all fees and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) due and payable pursuant to any of the Other Documents on or before the effectiveness of such increase to the extent relating to such increase.

(e) As of a Maximum Credit Increase Effective Date, each reference to the term Maximum Credit herein, and in any of the Other Documents shall be deemed amended to mean the amount of the Maximum Credit specified in the written notice from Agent to Administrative Loan Party of the increase in the Maximum Credit.

(f) As of the Closing Date, each Loan Party acknowledges, confirms and agrees that Agent and Lenders do not have credit approval to increase the Maximum Credit as in effect on the Closing Date and the terms and provisions of this Section 2.19 shall not constitute or be deemed to constitute a commitment by Agent or any Lender to increase the Maximum Credit as in effect on the Closing Date.

(g) To the extent of any contradiction or inconsistency between the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.19 and any other provision of this Agreement or any Other Document in respect of settlements, amendments, or otherwise, the provisions of this Section 2.19 shall prevail.

3. INTEREST AND FEES.

3.1 Interest.

Interest on Advances shall be payable to Agent for the benefit of Lenders in arrears on the first (1^st) day of each month with respect to Base Rate Loans and, with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans (including, without limitation, Swingline Loan Advances), in arrears at the end of each Interest Period or, for LIBOR Rate Loans with an Interest Period in excess of three (3) months, at the earlier of each date that is three (3) months following date of the commencement of such Interest Period and at the end of such Interest Period. Interest charges shall be computed on the actual principal amount of Advances outstanding at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Interest Rate. Concurrent with any increase or decrease in the Base Rate, the Interest Rate for Base Rate Loans shall be similarly changed without notice or demand of any kind by an amount equal to the amount of such change in the Base Rate. At the election of Agent or the Required Lenders, upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and during the continuation thereof, the outstanding Advances and all other Obligations shall bear interest at the applicable Interest Rate plus two (2) percentage points per annum (as applicable, the “Default Rate”). At the election of Agent or the Required Lenders, such Default Rate shall be applied retroactively to commence on the date of the first (1^st) occurrence of the event giving rise to such Event of Default.

3.2 Letter of Credit Fees; Cash Collateral.

(a) The Borrowers shall pay (i) to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders according to their applicable Commitment Percentages, fees for each Letter of Credit for the period from and excluding the date of issuance of same to and including the date of expiration or termination, equal to the average daily face amount of each outstanding Letter of Credit multiplied by the Applicable

Margin for LIBOR Rate Loans, such fees to be calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year for the actual number of days elapsed and to be payable monthly in arrears on the first (1^st) day of each month and for so long as any Letter of Credit remains outstanding, and (ii) to Agent for the benefit of the Issuer, any and all fees and expenses as agreed upon by the Issuer and Borrowers in connection with any Letter of Credit, including, without limitation, in connection with the opening, amendment or renewal of any such Letter of Credit and shall reimburse Agent for any and all fees and expenses, if any, paid by Agent to the Issuer (all of the foregoing fees described in clauses (i) and (ii) above, the “Letter of Credit Fees”). Any such charge in effect at the time of a particular transaction shall be the charge for that transaction, notwithstanding any subsequent change in the Issuer’s prevailing charges for that type of transaction. At the election of Agent or the Required Lenders, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and during the continuation thereof, Agent may, and at the direction of the Required Lenders Agent shall, increase the Letter of Credit Fees by two (2) percentage points per annum. At the election of Agent or the Required Lenders, such increased Letter of Credit Fee shall be applied retroactively to commence on the first (1^st) date of the occurrence of the event giving rise to such Event of Default. All Letter of Credit Fees payable hereunder shall be deemed earned in full on the date when the same are due and payable hereunder and shall not be subject to rebate or proration upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason.

(b) (i) At the election of Agent or the Required Lenders, at any time when a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) on the Termination Date, Borrowers will cause cash to be deposited and maintained in a non-interest bearing account with Agent, as cash collateral, in an amount equal to one hundred five (105%) percent of the outstanding Letters of Credit and, if requested by Agent, Bank Product Obligations, and Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, in its discretion, on Borrowers’ behalf and in Borrowers’ or Agent’s name, to open such an account and to make and maintain deposits therein, or in an account opened by Borrowers, in the amounts required to be made by Borrowers, out of the proceeds of Receivables or other Collateral or out of any other funds of Borrowers coming into Agent or any Lender’s possession at any time. The Borrowers may not withdraw amounts credited to any such account except upon Payment in Full of all of the Obligations.

3.3 Loan Fees.

(a) Unused Line Fee. If, for any month during the Term, the average daily unpaid balance of the Revolving Advances and Letters of Credit for each day of such month does not equal the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount, then Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lenders) according to their Commitment Percentages, a fee at a rate equal to 0.30% per annum on the amount by which the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount exceeds such average daily unpaid balance. Such fee shall be payable to Agent in arrears on the first (1^st) day of each month, commencing September 1, 2020.

(b) Other Fees. The Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for Agent’s own account (and not for the account of any Lender), the other fees and amounts set forth in the Fee Letter in the amounts and at the times specified therein.

3.4 Computation of Interest and Fees.

Interest and fees (other than the unused line fee payable pursuant to Section 3.3(a)) hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days and for the actual number of days elapsed; except, that, interest on Base Rate Loans and on the unused line fee payable pursuant to Section 3.3(a) shall be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred and sixty-five (365) or three hundred and sixty-six (366) days, as applicable, and for the actual number of days elapsed.

3.5 Maximum Charges.

In no event whatsoever shall interest and other charges charged hereunder exceed the highest rate permissible under law. In the event interest and other charges as computed hereunder would otherwise exceed the highest rate permitted under law, such excess amount shall be first applied to any unpaid principal balance owed by Borrowers, and if the then remaining excess amount is greater than the previously unpaid principal balance, Lenders shall promptly refund such excess amount to Borrowers and the provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to provide for such permissible rate.

3.6 Increased Costs.

In the event that any applicable law, treaty or governmental regulation, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof is effected after the Closing Date (provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Section 3.6 shall be deemed to apply to the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and to The Basel III Accord published by The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, and to all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines or directives under either of the foregoing or issued in connection therewith, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued, even if enacted, adopted or issued before the Closing Date), or compliance by any Lender (for purposes of this Section 3.6, the term “Lender” shall include Agent or any Lender or Issuer and any Person controlling Agent or any Lender or Issuer or any Subsidiary of Agent or any Lender) and the office or branch where any Lender makes or maintains any LIBOR Rate Loans with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other financial, monetary or other authority, in each case adopted after the Closing Date, shall:

(a) subject any Lender to any tax (other than any Excluded Tax) of any kind whatsoever, as a result of a Change in Tax Law, with respect to this Agreement or any Other Document or change the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender of principal, fees, interest or any other amount payable in respect thereof (except for changes in any Excluded Tax);

(b) impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, assessment or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, any office of any Lender, including (without limitation) pursuant to Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; or

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to any Lender of making, renewing or maintaining its Advances and/or Letters of Credit hereunder or to reduce the amount of any payment (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) in respect of any of the Advances and/or Letters of Credit or the Lender’s overall capital, then, in any case Borrowers shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, such additional amount as will compensate such Lender for such additional cost or such reduction, as the case may be. Such Lender shall certify the amount of such additional cost or reduced amount to Administrative Loan Party and Agent, and such certification shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

If any Lender requests compensation under this Section 3.6, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking such Lender’s Advances and/or Letters of Credit or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates if, in the judgment of Agent, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to this Section 3.6 in the future, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Agent or such Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

3.7 Capital Adequacy.

(a) In the event that any Lender (for purposes of this Section 3.7, the term “Lender” shall include Agent or any Lender or Issuer and any Person controlling Agent or any Lender or Issuer) shall have determined that any applicable law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy in effect on the Closing Date, or any change therein effected after the Closing Date, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Body, central bank or other financial, monetary or other authority, in each case adopted after the Closing Date, charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender and the office or branch where any Lender (as so defined) makes or maintains any LIBOR Rate Loans with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on any Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration each Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then, from time to time, Borrowers shall pay upon demand to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Section 3.7 shall be deemed to apply to the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and to The Basel III Accord published by The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, and to all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines or directives under either of the foregoing or issued in connection therewith, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued, even if enacted, adopted

or issued before the Closing Date. In determining such amount or amounts, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging or attribution methods. Such Lender shall certify the amount of such reduction and provide a reasonably detailed calculation thereof to Administrative Loan Party and Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.7, Loan Parties shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 3.7 for any amounts incurred more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies Administrative Loan Party of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such one hundred eighty (180) day period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect. The protection of this Section 3.7 shall be available to each Lender regardless of any possible contention of invalidity or inapplicability with respect to the applicable law, regulation or condition.

(b) A certificate of such Lender setting forth such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate such Lender with respect to Section 3.7(a) when delivered to Administrative Loan Party and Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

3.8 Inability to Determine Interest Rate (Temporary).

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if at any time prior to a Benchmark Termination Event ,Agent shall reasonably determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that, (a) by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, reasonable and adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for an Interest Period, or (b) a contingency has occurred which materially and adversely affects the London interbank offered dollar rate market relating to the Adjusted LIBOR Rate or (c) the Adjusted LIBOR Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to any Lender of funding LIBOR Rate Loans that Borrowers have requested be outstanding as a LIBOR Rate Loan during an Interest Period, Agent shall forthwith notify Administrative Loan Party at least two (2) Business Days prior to the first day of such Interest Period. Unless Administrative Loan Party shall have notified Agent upon receipt of such telephone notice that it wishes to rescind or modify its request regarding such LIBOR Rate Loans, any Loans that were requested to be made as LIBOR Rate Loan shall be made as Base Rate Loans and any Loans that were requested to be converted into or continued as LIBOR Rate Loans shall remain as or be converted into Base Rate Loans. Until any such notice has been withdrawn by Agent, no further Loans shall be made as, continued as, or converted into, LIBOR Rate Loans for the Interest Periods so affected.

11. LENDERS’ RIGHTS AND REMEDIES AFTER EVENT OF DEFAULT.

Upon the occurrence of (a) an Event of Default pursuant to Section 10.6, all Obligations shall be immediately due and payable and this Agreement and the obligation of Lenders to make Advances shall be deemed terminated, (b) any of the other Events of Default and at any time thereafter, Agent may (and at the direction of Required Lenders, shall) declare that all or any portion of the Obligations shall be immediately due and payable and Agent or Required Lenders shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and to terminate or limit the obligation of Lenders to make Advances (including, without limitation, reducing the lending formulas or amounts of Revolving Advances and Letters of Credit available to Borrowers), and (c) a filing of a petition against any Loan Party in any involuntary case under any state, federal or other bankruptcy laws, the obligation of Lenders to make Advances hereunder and of Issuer to provide Letters of Credit hereunder shall be terminated other than as may be required by an appropriate order of the bankruptcy court having jurisdiction over any Loan Party. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Agent shall have the right to exercise any and all other rights and remedies provided for herein, under the UCC and at law or equity generally, including, without limitation, the right to foreclose the Liens granted herein and in the Other Documents and to realize upon any Collateral by any available judicial procedure and/or to take possession of and sell any or all of the Collateral with or without judicial process. Agent may enter any Loan Party’s premises or other premises without legal process and without incurring liability to any Loan Party therefor, and Agent may thereupon, or at any time thereafter, in its discretion, without notice or demand, take the Collateral and remove the same to such place as Agent may deem advisable and Agent may require Loan Parties to make the Collateral available to Agent at a convenient place. With or

128

without having the Collateral at the time or place of sale, Agent may sell the Collateral, or any part thereof, at public or private sale, at any time or place, in one or more sales, at such price or prices, and upon such terms, either for cash, credit or future delivery, as Agent may elect. Except as to that part of the Collateral which is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, Agent shall give Loan Parties reasonable notification of such sale or sales, it being agreed that in all events written notice mailed to Loan Parties at least ten (10) days prior to such sale or sales is reasonable notification. At any public sale Agent or any Lender may bid for and become the purchaser, and Agent, any Lender or any other purchaser at any such sale thereafter shall hold the Collateral sold absolutely free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity of redemption and such right and equity are hereby expressly waived and released by each Loan Party. Agent may specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like at any sale of Collateral. In connection with the exercise of the foregoing remedies, Agent shall have the right to use all of each Loan Party’s Intellectual Property and other proprietary rights (subject to any licenses and other usage rights therein granted in favor of other Persons) which are used in connection with (i) Inventory for the purpose of disposing of such Inventory and (ii) Equipment for the purpose of completing the manufacture of unfinished goods, in each case without any obligation to compensate any Loan Party therefor.

11.2 Waterfall.

(a) So long as no Waterfall Event has occurred and is continuing and except as otherwise provided with respect to Defaulting Lenders, all principal and interest payments, shall be apportioned ratably among Lenders (according to their Commitment Percentages thereof) and all payments of fees, costs and expenses (other than fees, costs or expenses that are for Agent’s or any Lender’s separate account) shall be apportioned ratably among Lenders according to their Commitment Percentages thereof (it being understood that all costs and expenses due and owing to Agent, and all principal and interest of Advances (including Protective Advances) made by Agent and not reimbursed by Lenders, shall first be paid in full before any such payments are made to any of Lenders). Payments for the purposes of this clause (a) shall include proceeds of Collateral received by Agent.

(b) At any time that a Waterfall Event has occurred and is continuing and except as otherwise provided with respect to Defaulting Lenders, all payments remitted to Agent and all proceeds of Collateral received by Agent shall be applied to the Obligations as follows (it being understood that in the event that any Lender, as opposed to Agent, receives such payment or proceeds from any source other than Agent, such Lender shall remit such payment or proceeds, as applicable to Agent for application to the Obligations as provided in this Agreement): first, to the Obligations consisting of costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by Agent in connection with this Agreement or any Other Document and to the principal and interest of Advances (including Protective Advances and Swingline Loan Advances) made by Agent and not reimbursed by Lenders until paid in full; second, pro rata to interest due to Lenders upon any of the Advances and to the Obligations consisting of costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by Lenders in connection with (and to the extent payable or reimbursable to Lenders under) this Agreement or any Other Document according to their respective Commitment Percentages thereof until paid in full; third, pro rata to fees due to Agent and Lenders in connection with this Agreement or any Other Document according to their respective

129

Commitment Percentages thereof until paid in full; fourth, to the principal of the Swingline Loan Advances made by the Swingline Lender; fifth, (i) pro rata to the principal of the Advances made by each Lender according to their respective Commitment Percentages thereof and (ii) pro rata to Swap Obligations owed to any Affiliate Counterparty (iii) pro rata to any other Bank Product Obligations made by each Bank Product Provider until paid in full, but only to the extent of any Reserves then maintained by Agent with respect to such Bank Product Obligations, and (iv) after an Event of Default pursuant to Section 10.6 or if requested by Agent or Required Lenders after the occurrence of any other Event of Default, on a pro rata basis, to furnish to Agent cash collateral in an amount not less than one hundred five (105%) percent of the aggregate undrawn amount of all Letters of Credit, such cash collateral arrangements to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent until paid in full; and sixth, pro rata to any other Obligations until paid in full.

(c) If any deficiency shall arise, Loan Parties shall remain liable to Agent and Lenders therefor. If it is determined by an authority of competent jurisdiction that a disposition by Agent did not occur in a commercially reasonably manner, Agent may obtain a deficiency judgment for the difference between the amount of the Obligation and the amount that a commercially reasonable sale would have yielded. Agent will not be considered to have offered to retain the Collateral in satisfaction of the Obligations unless Agent has entered into a written agreement with Loan Party to that effect.

11.3 Agent’s Discretion.

Agent shall have the right in its Permitted Discretion to determine which rights, Liens or remedies Agent may at any time pursue, relinquish, subordinate, or modify or to take any other action with respect thereto and such determination will not in any way modify or affect any of Agent’s or Lenders’ rights hereunder.

11.4 Setoff.

In addition to any other rights and remedies which Agent, any Lender or any Issuer may have under applicable law, this Agreement or any Other Document, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, Agent, such Lender, such Issuer and their Affiliates shall have a right to setoff and apply any Loan Party’s property held by Agent, such Lender, such Issuer or such Affiliate to reduce the Obligations, all without notice to Loan Parties. No Lender, Issuer or Affiliate shall setoff or apply such property without the prior written consent of Agent.

11.5 Rights and Remedies not Exclusive.

The enumeration of the foregoing rights and remedies is not intended to be exhaustive and the exercise of any right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other right or remedies provided for herein or otherwise provided by law, all of which shall be cumulative and not alternative.

130

11.6 Commercial Reasonableness.

To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on Agent or any Lender to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner (which duties cannot be waived under such law), each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for Agent or any Lender (a) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed necessary or appropriate by Agent or any Lender to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (b) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain consents of any Governmental Body or other third party for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (c) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors, secondary obligors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (d) to exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (e) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (f) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as any Loan Party, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (g) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (h) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (i) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (j) to disclaim disposition warranties, (k) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure Agent or Lenders against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to Agent or Lenders a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (l) to the extent deemed appropriate by Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Loan Party acknowledges that the purpose of this Section is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by Agent or any Lender would not be commercially unreasonable in the exercise by Agent or any Lender of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by Agent or any Lender shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section. Without limitation of the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to grant any rights to any Loan Party or to impose any duties on Agent or Lenders that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section.

12. WAIVERS AND JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS.

12.1 Waiver of Notice.

Each Loan Party hereby waives notice of non-payment of any of the Receivables, demand, presentment, protest and notice thereof with respect to any and all instruments, notice of acceptance hereof, notice of loans or advances made, credit extended, Collateral received or delivered, or any other action taken in reliance hereon, and all other demands and notices of any description, except such as are expressly provided for herein or as otherwise by law.

As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement (including without limitation, collection of the Notes) Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding; provided, however, that, Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes Agent to liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or the Other Documents or applicable law unless Agent agrees to do so in its Permitted Discretion and is furnished with an indemnification satisfactory to Agent in its Permitted Discretion with respect thereto.

14.2 Nature of Duties.

Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Other Documents. None of Agent, any Lender, or any Issuer nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be (a) liable for any action taken or omitted by them as such under this Agreement or any Other Document or in connection herewith or therewith, unless caused by their gross (not mere) negligence or willful misconduct, as determined pursuant to a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction, or (b) responsible in any manner for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement, or in any of the Other Documents or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any of the Other Documents or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, or any of the Other Documents or for any failure of Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder. Agent

133

shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any of the Other Documents, or to inspect or appraise the properties, books or records of any Loan Party or any other Person. The duties of Agent in respect of the Advances shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement or any Other Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Secured Party, nor shall Agent constitute a trustee in respect of any Secured Party; and nothing in this Agreement or any Other Document, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any Other Document except as expressly set forth herein or therein.

14.3 Lack of Reliance on Agent and Resignation.

(a) Independently and without reliance upon Agent, any Issuer or any other Lender, each Lender has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of each Loan Party and each other Person in connection with the making and the continuance of the Advances hereunder and the taking or not taking of any action in connection with this Agreement or any Other Document, and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Loan Party and each other Person. Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before making of the Advances or at any time or times thereafter except to the extent, if any, expressly required in this Agreement. Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any agreement, document, certificate or a statement delivered in connection with or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, priority, collectability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any Other Document, the Collateral, or of the financial condition of any Loan Party or any other Person, or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement, the Note, the Other Documents, the Collateral, or the financial condition of any Loan Party or any other Person, or the existence of any Event of Default or any Default.

(b) Agent may resign on thirty (30) days’ written notice to each of Lenders and Administrative Loan Party and upon such resignation, the Required Lenders will promptly designate a successor Agent with the consent to Administrative Loan Party, which consent of Administrative Loan Party shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (provided, that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no such consent of Administrative Loan Party shall be required). If no such successor Agent is appointed at the end of such thirty (30) day period, Agent may designate one of Lenders as a successor Agent, and shall give Administrative Loan Party prompt notice of such appointment. If no Lender accepts such designation, Required Lenders shall serve as the successor Agent, and Agent shall remain entitled to so resign.

(c) Any such successor Agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of Agent, and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon its appointment, and the former Agent’s powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent. After any Agent’s resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Section 14, Section 16.5 and Section 16.10 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement.

134

14.4 Certain Rights of Agent.

If Agent shall request instructions from Lenders with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any Other Document, Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until Agent shall have received instructions from the Required Lenders; and Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, Lenders shall not have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of its acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders.

14.5 Reliance.

Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or facsimile message, cablegram, email, order or other document or telephone message believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and the Other Documents and its duties hereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it. Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be liable for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by Agent with reasonable care.

14.6 Notice of Default.

Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder or under the Other Documents, unless Agent has received notice from a Lender or Administrative Loan Party referring to this Agreement or the Other Documents, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that Agent receives such a notice, Agent shall give notice thereof to Lenders. Subject to Section 14.1, Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default (including, without limitation, the institution of the Default Rate pursuant to Section 3.1) as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders; provided, that, unless and until Agent shall have received such directions, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default (including, without limitation, the institution of the Default Rate pursuant to Section 3.1) as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of Lenders.

14.7 Indemnification.

To the extent Agent and/or Issuer, as applicable, is not timely reimbursed and indemnified by Loan Parties, each Lender promptly will reimburse and indemnify Agent and each Issuer and each of their respective officers, directors, Affiliates, employees, representatives and agents in proportion to its respective Commitment Percentage from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, fees and

135

disbursements of counsel) arising from any action, litigation, proceeding, dispute or investigation which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Agent or such Issuer in any litigation, proceeding, dispute or investigation instituted or conducted by any Governmental Body or any other Person with respect to any aspect of, or any transaction contemplated by, or referred to in, or any matter related to, this Agreement or the Other Documents, on in connection with performing any of its duties, functions or activities under this Agreement or under any Other Document, or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any Other Document whether or not Agent or any Issuer is a party thereto, except to the extent that any of the foregoing arises out of the gross (not mere) negligence or willful misconduct of Agent or such Issuer, as determined pursuant to a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing contained in this Section 14.7 shall in any manner limit, impair, waive or otherwise affect Loan Parties’ reimbursement and indemnification Obligations at any time owing to Agent.

14.8 Agent in its Individual Capacity.

With respect any Advances made by Agent, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Advances made by Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and as if it were not performing the duties as Agent specified herein. Agent may engage in business with any Loan Party as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from any Loan Party for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders.

14.9 Actions in Concert.

Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, each Lender hereby agrees with each other Lender and Agent that (a) Agent shall have the exclusive right to enforce and exercise all rights and remedies of Agent and Lenders hereunder and under the Other Documents at all times following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, on behalf of Agent and all Lenders, subject to the direction of Required Lenders as provided for herein, and (b) no Lender shall take any action to protect or enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement or the Other Documents (including exercising any rights of setoff or compensation) without first obtaining the prior written consent of Agent or Required Lenders, it being the intent of Lenders that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement and the Notes shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of Agent or Required Lenders.

14.10 Intercreditor Agreements/Subordination Agreements.

The Lenders, Issuer and any other holder of any Obligations acknowledge that the exercise of certain of the rights and remedies of Agent hereunder and under the Other Documents may be subject to the provisions of a subordination or intercreditor agreement pertaining to any Subordinated Debt. Each Lender and Issuer irrevocably (a) consents to the terms and conditions of any subordination or intercreditor agreement pertaining to any Subordinated Debt, (b) authorizes and directs Agent to execute and deliver any subordination or intercreditor agreement pertaining to any other Subordinated Debt, in each case, on behalf of such Lender or such Issuer and to take all actions (and execute all documents) required (or deemed advisable) by it in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and any other subordination or

136

intercreditor agreement pertaining to any other Subordinated Debt, in each case, and without any further consent, authorization or other action by such Lender or Issuer, (c) agrees that, upon the execution and delivery thereof, such Lender and Issuer will be bound by the provisions of a subordination or intercreditor agreement pertaining to any other Subordinated Debt as if it were a signatory thereto and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of such subordination or intercreditor agreement pertaining to any other Subordinated Debt, and (d) agrees that no Lender or Issuer shall have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of any action taken by Agent pursuant to this Section or in accordance with the terms of any subordination or intercreditor agreement pertaining to any other Subordinated Debt Each Lender hereby further irrevocably authorizes and directs Agent to enter into such amendments, supplements or other modifications to any subordination or intercreditor agreement pertaining to any other Subordinated Debt as are approved by Agent and the Required Lenders (except as to any amendment that expressly requires the approval of all Lenders as set forth in Section 16.2(b)); provided, that, Agent may execute and deliver such amendments, supplements and modifications thereto as are contemplated by any subordination or intercreditor agreement pertaining to any other Subordinated Debt in connection with any extension, renewal, refinancing or replacement of this Agreement or any refinancing of the Obligations, in each case, on behalf of such Lender and Issuer and without any further consent, authorization or other action by any Lender or Issuer. Agent shall have the benefit of each of the provisions of Section 14 with respect to all actions taken by it pursuant to this Section 14.10 or in accordance with the terms of any subordination or intercreditor agreement pertaining to any other Subordinated Debt to the full extent thereof.

15. GUARANTEE.

15.1 Guarantee; Contribution Rights.

Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, jointly and severally with each other Guarantor when and as due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by notice of prepayment or otherwise, the due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and punctual performance of all Obligations. Each payment made by any Guarantor pursuant to this Guarantee shall be made in lawful money of the United States in immediately available funds without offset, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

Anything herein this Section 15 to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Guarantor this Section 15 shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by such Guarantor under applicable federal and state laws relating to the insolvency of debtors (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in the following paragraph). It being understood that no amendments or other modifications hereto or to any Other Documents need to be made to implement the provisions of this paragraph and instead the implementation of the provisions of this paragraph shall occur automatically.

Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Each Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 15.9(d). The provisions of this paragraph shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to Agent and Lenders, and each Guarantor shall remain liable to Agent and Lenders for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.

139

15.2 Waivers.

Each Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably waives (a) promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, notice of presentment of payment and any other notice hereunder, (b) demand of payment, protest, notice of dishonor or nonpayment, notice of the present and future amount of the Obligations and any other notice with respect to the Obligations, (c) any requirement that Agent or any Lender protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against any other Loan Party, or any Person or any Collateral, (d) any other action, event or precondition to the enforcement hereof or the performance by each such Guarantor of the Obligations, (e) any defense arising by any lack of capacity or authority or any other defense of any Loan Party or any notice, demand or defense by reason of cessation from any cause of Obligations other than Payment in Full of all of the Obligations, (f) any defense that any other guarantee or security was or was to be obtained by Agent or any Lender, and (g) any other defense.

15.3 No Defense.

No invalidity, irregularity, voidableness, voidness or unenforceability of this Agreement or any Other Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto, or of all or any part of the Obligations or of any collateral security therefor shall affect, impair or be a defense hereunder.

15.4 Guarantee of Payment.

The Guarantee hereunder is one of payment and performance, not collection, and the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the Obligations of the other Loan Parties, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against any Guarantor to enforce the terms and conditions of this Section 15, irrespective of whether any action is brought against any other Loan Party or other Persons or whether any other Loan Party or other Persons are joined in any such action or actions. Each Guarantor waives any right to require that any resort be had by Agent or any Lender to any security held for payment of the Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of Agent or any Lender in favor of any Loan Party or any other Person. No election to proceed in one form of action or proceedings, or against any Person, or on any Obligations, shall constitute a waiver of Agent’s right to proceed in any other form of action or proceeding or against any other Person unless Agent has expressed any such right in writing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no action or proceeding by Agent against any Loan Party under any document evidencing or securing Indebtedness of any Loan Party to Agent shall diminish the liability of any Guarantor hereunder, except to the extent Agent receives actual payment on account of Obligations by such action or proceeding, notwithstanding the effect of any such election, action or proceeding upon the right of subrogation of any Guarantor in respect of any Loan Party and/or otherwise.

15.5 Liabilities Absolute.

The liability of each Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute, unlimited and unconditional and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination for any reason, including, without limitation, any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any claim, defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any Obligation or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor shall not be discharged or impaired, released, limited or otherwise affected by:

140

(a) any change in the manner, place or terms of payment or performance, and/or any change or extension of the time of payment or performance of, release, renewal or alteration of, or any new agreements relating to any Obligation, any security therefor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, or any rescission of, or amendment, waiver or other modification of, or any consent to departure from, this Agreement or any Other Document, including any increase in the Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to Borrowers or otherwise;

(b) any sale, exchange, release, surrender, loss, abandonment, realization upon any property by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever securing, all or any of the Obligations, and/or any offset there against, or failure to perfect, or continue the perfection of, any Lien in any such property, or delay in the perfection of any such Lien, or any amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guarantee for all or any of the Obligations;

(c) the failure of Agent or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against Borrowers or any other Loan Party or any other Person under the provisions of this Agreement or any Other Document or any other document or instrument executed and delivered in connection herewith or therewith;

(d) any settlement or compromise of any Obligation, any security therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and any subordination of the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any obligation (whether due or not) of any Loan Party to creditors of any Loan Party other than any other Loan Party;

(e) any manner of application of Collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any Collateral for all or any of the Obligations or any other assets of any Loan Party; and

(f) any other agreements or circumstance of any nature whatsoever that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor, or that might otherwise at law or in equity constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Guarantee hereunder and/or the obligations of any Guarantor, or a defense to, or discharge of, any Loan Party or any other Person or party hereto or the Obligations or otherwise with respect to the Advances, Letters of Credit or other financial accommodations to Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement and/or the Other Documents or otherwise.

15.6 Waiver of Notice.

Except as otherwise contemplated hereunder, Agent shall have the right to do any of the above without notice to or the consent of any Guarantor and each Guarantor expressly waives any right to notice of, consent to, knowledge of and participation in any agreements relating to any of the above or any other present or future event relating to Obligations whether under this Agreement or otherwise or any right to challenge or question any of the above and waives any defenses of such Guarantor which might arise as a result of such actions.

141

15.7 Agent’s Discretion.

Agent may at any time and from time to time (whether prior to or after the revocation or termination of this Agreement) without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor, and without incurring responsibility to any Guarantor or impairing or releasing the Obligations, apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any Obligations regardless of what Obligations remain unpaid.

15.8 Reinstatement.

The Guarantee provisions herein contained shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if claim is ever made upon Agent or any Lender for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received by Agent or such Lender in payment or on account of any of the Obligations and Agent or such Lender repays all or part of said amount for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, by reason of any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over Agent or such Lender or the respective property of each, or any settlement or compromise of any claim effected by Agent or such Lender with any such claimant (including any Loan Party); and in such event each Guarantor hereby agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise or other circumstances shall be binding upon such Guarantor, notwithstanding any revocation hereof or the cancellation of any note or other instrument evidencing any Obligation, and each Guarantor shall be and remain liable to Agent and/or Lenders for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by Agent or such Lenders.

15.9 No Marshalling, Etc.

(a) Agent shall not be required to marshal any assets in favor of any Guarantor, or against or in payment of Obligations.

(b) No Guarantor shall be entitled to claim against any present or future security held by Agent or any Lender from any Person for Obligations in priority to or equally with any claim of Agent or any Lender, or assert any claim for any liability of any Loan Party to any Guarantor in priority to or equally with claims of Agent or any Lender for Obligations, and no Guarantor shall be entitled to compete with Agent or any Lender with respect to, or to advance any equal or prior claim to any security held by Agent or any Lender for Obligations.

(c) If any Loan Party makes any payment to Agent or any Lender, which payment is wholly or partly subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to any Person under any federal or provincial or other statute or at common law or under equitable principles, then to the extent of such payment, the Obligation intended to be paid shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if the payment had not been made, and the resulting revived Obligation shall continue to be guaranteed, uninterrupted, by each Guarantor hereunder.

142

(d) All present and future monies payable by any Loan Party or any other Guarantor to any Guarantor, whether arising out of a right of subrogation, contribution or otherwise, are assigned to Agent for its benefit and for the ratable benefit of Lenders as security for such Guarantor’s liability to Agent and Lenders hereunder and are postponed and subordinated to Agent’s and Lenders’ prior right to Payment in Full of all of the Obligations. Except to the extent prohibited otherwise by this Agreement, all monies received by any Guarantor from any Loan Party shall be held by such Guarantor as agent and trustee for Agent and Lenders. This assignment, postponement and subordination shall only terminate when all of the Obligations are Paid in Full.

(e) Each Loan Party acknowledges this assignment, postponement and subordination and, except as otherwise set forth herein, agrees to make no payments to any Guarantor without the prior written consent of Agent. Each Loan Party agrees to give full effect to the provisions hereof.

15.10 Action Upon Event of Default.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Agent may and upon written request of the Required Lenders shall, without notice to or demand upon any Loan Party, any Guarantor or any other Person, declare all or any portion of the Obligations of such Guarantor hereunder immediately due and payable, and shall be entitled to enforce the Obligations of each Guarantor. Upon such declaration by Agent, Agent, Lenders and any of their Affiliates are hereby authorized at any time and from time to time 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 Agent or Lenders to or for the credit or the account of any Guarantor against any and all of the Obligations of each Guarantor now or hereafter existing hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, whether or not Agent or Lenders shall have made any demand hereunder against any other Loan Party and although such Obligations may be contingent and unmatured. The rights of Agent and Lenders hereunder are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which Agent and Lenders may have. Upon such declaration by Agent, with respect to any claims (other than those claims referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph) of any Guarantor against any Loan Party (the “Claims”), Agent shall have the full right on the part of Agent in its own name or in the name of such Guarantor to collect and enforce such Claims by legal action, proof of debt in bankruptcy or other liquidation proceedings, vote in any proceeding for the arrangement of debts at any time proposed, or otherwise, Agent and each of its officers being hereby irrevocably constituted attorneys-in-fact for each Guarantor for the purpose of such enforcement and for the purpose of endorsing in the name of each Guarantor any instrument for the payment of money. Each Guarantor will receive as trustee for Agent and will pay to Agent forthwith upon receipt thereof any amounts which such Guarantor may receive from any Loan Party on account of the Claims. Each Guarantor agrees that at no time hereafter will any of the Claims be represented by any notes or other negotiable instruments or writings, except and in such event they shall either be made payable to Agent, or if payable to any Guarantor, shall forthwith be endorsed by such Guarantor to Agent. Each Guarantor agrees that no payment on account of the Claims or any Lien therein shall be created, received, accepted or retained during the continuance of any Event of Default nor shall any financing statement be filed with respect thereto by any Guarantor.

143

15.11 Statute of Limitations.

Any acknowledgment or new promise, whether by payment of principal or interest or otherwise and whether by any Loan Party or others (including any Lenders) with respect to any of the Obligations shall, if the statute of limitations in favor of any Guarantor against Agent or Lenders shall have commenced to run, toll the running of such statute of limitations and, if the period of such statute of limitations shall have expired, prevent the operation of such statute of limitations.

15.12 Interest.

All amounts due, owing and unpaid from time to time by any Guarantor hereunder shall bear interest at the interest rate per annum then chargeable with respect to Base Rate Loans constituting Revolving Advances.

15.13 Guarantor’s Investigation.

Each Guarantor acknowledges receipt of a copy of each of this Agreement and the Other Documents. Each Guarantor has made an independent investigation of Loan Parties and of the financial condition of Loan Parties. Neither Agent nor any Lender has made, Agent and Lenders do not hereby make, any representations or warranties as to the income, expense, operation, finances or any other matter or thing affecting any Loan Party nor has Agent or any Lender made any representations or warranties as to the amount or nature of the Obligations of any Loan Party to which this Section 15 applies as specifically herein set forth, nor has Agent or any Lender or any officer, agent or employee of Agent or any Lender or any representative thereof, made any other oral representations, agreements or commitments of any kind or nature, and each Guarantor hereby expressly acknowledges that no such representations or warranties have been made and such Guarantor expressly disclaims reliance on any such representations or warranties.

Subject to reinstatement as provided in Section 15.8, the provisions of this Section 15 shall remain in effect until all of Obligations have been Paid in Full.

15.15 Extension of Guarantee.

Without prejudice to the generality of this Section 15, each Guarantor expressly confirms that it intends that the guarantee provided in this Section 15 shall extend from time to time to any (however fundamental) variation, increase, extension or addition of or to any of the provisions of this Agreement or any Other Document and/or any facility or amount made available hereunder or thereunder.

15.16 Applicability to Borrowers.

Any judicial proceeding brought by or against any Loan Party with respect to any of the Obligations, this Agreement or any Other Document may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction located in the County and State of New York, United States of America, and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Loan Party accepts for itself and in connection with its properties, generally and unconditionally, the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts, and irrevocably agrees to be bound by any judgment rendered thereby in connection with this Agreement. Each Loan Party hereby waives personal service of any and all process upon it and consents that all such service of process may be made by registered mail (return receipt requested) directed to Administrative Loan Party (on behalf of Borrowers) at its address set forth in Section 16.6 and service so made shall be deemed completed five (5) days after the same shall have been so deposited in the mails of the United States of America, or, at Agent’s and/or any Lender’s option, by service upon Administrative Loan Party (on behalf of Borrowers) which each Loan Party irrevocably appoints as such Loan Party’s agent for the purpose of accepting service within the State of New York. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of Agent or any Lender to bring proceedings against any Loan Party in the courts of any other jurisdiction. Each Loan Party waives any objection to jurisdiction and venue of any action instituted hereunder and shall not assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue or based upon forum non conveniens. Any judicial proceeding by any Loan Party against Agent or any Lender involving, directly or indirectly, any matter or claim in any way arising out of, related to or connected with this Agreement or any Other Document (except to the extent, if any, expressly provided otherwise in any Other Document), shall be brought only in a federal or state court located in the City of New York, State of New York.

16.2 Entire Understanding; Amendments; Lender Replacements; Overadvances.

(a) This Agreement and the Other Documents executed concurrently herewith or on or after the Closing Date contain the entire understanding between each Loan Party, Agent and each Lender and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, if any, relating to the subject matter hereof or thereof. Any promises, representations, warranties or guarantees of Agent or any Lender to any Loan Party not herein contained or not contained in any Other Document executed on or after the Closing Date shall have no force and effect. Neither this Agreement nor any portion or provisions hereof may be changed, modified, amended, waived, supplemented, discharged, cancelled or terminated orally or by any course of dealing, or in any manner other than by an agreement in writing pursuant to clause (b) below. Any Default or Event of Default that occurs hereunder shall continue unless and until expressly waived in writing pursuant to clause (b) below. Each Loan Party acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel in connection with the execution of this Agreement and Other Documents and is not relying upon oral representations or statements inconsistent with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

145

(b) Agent and the Required Lenders (or Agent with the consent in writing of the Required Lenders), and Borrowers may, subject to the provisions of this Section 16.2(b), from time to time enter into written amendments and supplemental agreements to this Agreement or the Other Documents executed by Borrowers, for the purpose of adding or deleting any provisions or otherwise changing, varying or waiving in any manner the rights of Lenders, Agent or Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder or the conditions, provisions or terms hereof or thereof or waiving any Default or Event of Default hereunder or thereunder, but only to the extent specified in such written agreements; provided, however, that, (x) this Section 9.13 shall not be applicable to any modification or amendment pursuant to Sections 3.9 (Effect of Benchmark Transition Event) of this Agreement and Borrower acknowledges that any modification or amendment pursuant to Sections 3.9 of this Agreement shall be effective upon notice by Agent without execution by Borrower. And (y) no such amendment or supplemental agreement shall:

(i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the consent of Agent and the affected Lender;

(ii) increase the Maximum Credit or the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount without the consent of Agent and all Lenders, provided, that, the increase provided for in Section 2.19 shall not be deemed an increase requiring the consent of any Lender other than Lenders providing such increase;

(iii) extend the Term or the final scheduled maturity of any Advance or the due date for any amount payable hereunder, or decrease the rate of interest (other than the waiver of any default rate), reduce the principal amount of any outstanding Advances, or reduce any scheduled (as opposed to mandatory prepayment) principal payment or fee payable by Borrowers to Agent or a Lender pursuant to this Agreement or any Other Document, without the consent of Agent and each such Lender directly affected thereby;

(iv) alter the definition of the term Required Lenders or alter, amend or modify this Section 16.2(b) without the consent of Agent and all Lenders;

(v) release any Collateral during any calendar year (other than in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, including any Disposition thereof permitted by this Agreement) having an aggregate value in excess of $500,000 without the consent of Agent and all Lenders;

(vi) change the rights and duties of Agent without the consent of Agent; or

(vii) increase the Advance Rates above the Advance Rates in effect on the Closing Date without the consent of Agent and all Lenders;

(viii) alter the definition of the terms Borrowing Base, Eligible Accounts or Eligible Inventory in any manner which would have the effect of increasing availability of Advances, without the consent of Agent and all Lenders;

146

(ix) release of any Loan Party from its Obligations hereunder, except in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

(x) subordinate the priority of the Liens in the Collateral in favor of Agent, for the benefit of Secured Parties, to any Liens therein held by any other Person, without the consent of Agent and all Lenders; or

(xi) alter the priority of allocation of payments and proceeds of Collateral provided for in Section 11.2(b) without the consent of Agent and all Lenders.

Any such amendment or supplemental agreement shall apply equally to each Lender and shall be binding upon Loan Parties, Lenders and Agent and all future holders of the Obligations. In the case of any waiver of a Default or Event of Default pursuant to a waiver provided in accordance with the above provisions of this Section 16.2(b), Loan Parties, Agent and Lenders shall be restored to their former positions and rights, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing, but no waiver of a specific Default or Event of Default shall extend to any other Default or Event of Default or any subsequent Default or Event of Default (whether or not the subsequent Default or Event of Default is the same as the Default or Event of Default which was waived), or impair any right consequent thereon.

(c) In the event that (i) Agent requests the consent of a Lender pursuant to this Section 16.2 and such consent is denied, (ii) a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (iii) a Lender is an Impacted Lender or (iv) a Lender is a Prior Defaulting/Impacted Lender, then, in each case, Agent may, at its option, require such Lender to assign its Advances and Commitments to Agent or to another Lender or to any other Person designated by Agent (a “Designated Lender”), for a price equal to the then outstanding principal amount of all Advances held by such Lender plus accrued and unpaid interest and fees owing to such Lender, which interest and fees shall be paid when, and if, collected from Borrowers. In the event Agent elects to require any Lender to assign such Lender’s Advances and Commitments to Agent or to a Designated Lender, Agent will so notify such Lender in writing within one hundred and eighty (180) days following such Lender’s denial (or with respect to clauses (ii), (iii) or (iv)) above, during the time that such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, an Impacted Lender or a Prior Defaulting/Impacted Lender, as applicable, or within one hundred and eighty (180) days thereafter), and such Lender will assign its interest to Agent or the Designated Lender no later than five (5) days following receipt of such notice pursuant to a Commitment Transfer Supplement executed by such Lender (or Agent on behalf of such Lender if such Lender refuses to execute such Commitment Transfer Supplement within such time period; and each Lender hereby irrevocable authorizes Agent to so execute such a Commitment Transfer Supplement on its behalf), Agent or the Designated Lender, as appropriate, and Agent (if Agent is not the Designated Lender).

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing (and in addition to Agent’s rights to make Protective Advances hereunder), Agent may at its discretion and without the consent of the Required Lenders, voluntarily permit the outstanding Revolving Advances and Letters of Credit at any time to exceed the Borrowing Base (but not to exceed the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount) by up to ten (10%) percent of the Borrowing Base for up to thirty (30) consecutive Business Days; provided, that, any such overadvance shall still constitute an Event of Default as

147

of the first (1^st) day of such overadvance regardless of the reason for or amount of such overadvance. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the discretion granted to Agent hereunder shall not preclude involuntary overadvances that may result from time to time due to the fact that the Borrowing Base was unintentionally exceeded for any reason, including, but not limited to, Collateral previously deemed to be eligible for inclusion in the Borrowing Base, becomes ineligible, collections of Receivables applied to reduce outstanding Advances are thereafter returned for insufficient funds or overadvances are made to protect or preserve the Collateral; provided, that, any such overadvance shall still constitute an Event of Default as of the first (1^st) day of such overadvance regardless of the reason for or amount of such overadvance. In the event Agent involuntarily permits the outstanding Revolving Advances and Letters of Credit to exceed the Borrowing Base by more than ten (10%) percent of the Borrowing Base, Borrowers shall decrease such excess in as expeditious a manner as is practicable under the circumstances and not inconsistent with the reason for such excess; provided, that, any Event of Default resulting therefrom shall remain in existence. Revolving Advances made or Letters of Credit issued after Agent has determined the existence of involuntary overadvances shall be deemed to be involuntary overadvances and shall be decreased in accordance with the preceding sentence, and in all events shall constitute an Event of Default.

16.3 Successors and Assigns; Participations; New Lenders; Taxes; Syndication.

(a) This Agreement and the Other Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Loan Party, Agent, each Lender, all future holders of the Obligations and their respective successors and assigns; except, that, no Loan Party may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any Other Document (other than pursuant to a merger or consolidation of Loan Parties permitted hereunder) without the prior written consent of Agent and each Lender.

(b) Each Loan Party acknowledges that one or more Lenders may at any time and from time to time sell participating interests in the Advances to other Persons with the prior written consent of Agent, which consent of Agent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (each such transferee or purchaser of a participating interest, a “Transferee”); provided, that, no participating interest may be sold to a Person organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States that cannot make the certifications required by Section 16.3(f). Each Transferee may exercise all rights of payment (including without limitation rights of set-off) with respect to the portion of such Advances held by it or other Obligations payable hereunder as fully as if such Transferee were the direct holder thereof; provided, that, Loan Parties shall not be required to pay to any Transferee more than the amount which it would have been required to pay to the Lender which granted an interest in its Advances or other Obligations payable hereunder to such Transferee, had such Lender retained such interest in the Advances hereunder or other Obligations payable hereunder, and in no event shall Loan Parties be required to pay any such amount arising from the same circumstances and with respect to the same Advances or other Obligations payable hereunder to both such Lender and such Transferee. Transferee’s rights under Section 16.2 shall be limited to those items in Section 16.2(b) which require consent of each Lender or each directly affected Lender, as applicable. Each Loan Party hereby grants to Agent, for the ratable benefit of each Secured Party, a continuing Lien in any deposits, moneys or other property actually or constructively held by such Transferee as security for the Transferee’s interest in the Advances. Neither Agent nor any Lender (other than the Lender selling a participation) shall have any duty to any Participant and may continue to deal solely with the Lender selling a participation as if no such sale had occurred.

148

(c) Any Lender may sell, assign or transfer all or any part of its Advances and Commitments (and related rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Other Documents) to Qualified Assignees (each a “Purchasing Lender”), in minimum amounts of not less than $5,000,000 (except such minimum amount shall not apply to (i) a sale, assignment or transfer by any Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender or to a group of new Lenders, each of which is an Affiliate of each other to the extent that the aggregate amount to be assigned to all such new Lenders is at least $5,000,000 or (ii) a sale, assignment or transfer by any Lender of all of its Commitments and all of its Advances), pursuant to a Commitment Transfer Supplement, executed by a Purchasing Lender, the transferor Lender, and Agent and delivered to Agent for recording. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the transfer effective date determined pursuant to such Commitment Transfer Supplement, (A) Purchasing Lender thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and the Other Documents as a Lender and, to the extent transferred pursuant to such Commitment Transfer Supplement, have Commitments and outstanding Advances, and (B) the transferor Lender thereunder shall, to the extent its Advances and Commitments have been transferred pursuant to such Commitment Transfer Supplement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement and the Other Documents. Such Commitment Transfer Supplement shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing Lender as a Lender and the resulting adjustment of the Commitment Percentages arising from the purchase by such Purchasing Lender of all or a portion of the Advances and Commitments of such transferor Lender under this Agreement and the Other Documents. Loan Parties hereby consent to the addition of such Purchasing Lender as a Lender and the resulting adjustment of the Commitment Percentages arising from the purchase by such Purchasing Lender of all or a portion of the Advances and Commitments of such transferor Lender. Loan Parties shall execute and deliver such further documents and do such further acts and things in order to effectuate the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender may assign all or any portion of the Advances or Notes held by it to any Federal Reserve Bank or the United States Treasury as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank; provided, that, any payment in respect of such assigned Advances or Notes made by Borrowers to or for the account of the assigning or pledging Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall satisfy Borrowers’ obligations hereunder in respect to such assigned Advances or Notes to the extent of such payment. No such assignment described in the immediately preceding sentence shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder.

(d) Agent, acting solely in this situation as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at its address a copy of each Commitment Transfer Supplement delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Advances owing to each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and Loan Parties, Agent and Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Advance recorded therein for the purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Loan Parties or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Agent shall receive a fee in the amount of $3,500 payable by the applicable Purchasing Lender upon the effective date of each transfer or assignment to such Purchasing Lender.

149

(e) Loan Parties authorize each Lender to disclose to any Transferee or Purchasing Lender and any prospective Transferee or Purchasing Lender (who agrees in writing or through electronic media to treat the information as confidential and use it solely in connection with a proposed transfer under this Section 16.3) any and all financial and other information in such Lender’s possession concerning Loan Parties which has been delivered to Agent or such Lender by or on behalf of Loan Parties pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with Agent’s or such Lender’s credit evaluation of Loan Parties.

(f) Each Lender or Participant organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, and from time to time thereafter if either requested by Borrowers (or Administrative Loan Party on behalf of Borrowers) or Agent or upon the obsolescence or expiration of any previously delivered form, shall provide Agent and Administrative Loan Party (on behalf of Borrowers) with (i) two (2) original executed copies of a correct and completed IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI, or W-8IMY (with appropriate attachments), as appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the IRS, certifying that payments to such Lender or Participant are not subject to United States federal withholding tax under the Code because such payment is either effectively connected with the conduct by such Lender or Participant of a trade or business in the United States or totally exempt from United States federal withholding tax by reason of the application of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party or such Lender is otherwise exempt, (ii) or to the extent permitted by law, each such Lender or Participant may provide Administrative Loan Party (on behalf of Borrowers) and Agent with two original executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN, or any successor form prescribed by the IRS, certifying that such Lender is exempt from United States federal withholding tax pursuant to Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, together with an annual certificate stating that such Lender or Participant is not a “person” described in Section 871(h)(3) or 881(c)(3) of the Code and (iii) a duly completed and executed IRS Form W-8BEN or W 9, as appropriate, or any successor or other form establishing an exemption from United States federal backup withholding tax. Each such Lender further agrees to complete and deliver to Administrative Loan Party (on behalf of Borrowers), upon its request, such other forms or other documentation as may be appropriate to minimize any withholding tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement under the laws of any other jurisdiction unless such completion and delivery may in any event be disadvantageous for such Lender. For purposes of this subsection (f), the term “United States” shall have the meaning specified in Section 7701 of the Code. Each Lender that is a United States person, shall provide Agent and Administrative Loan Party with two original executed IRS Form W-9s, certifying as to status for United States federal back up withholding tax purposes.

(g) At the request of Agent from time to time both before and after the Closing Date, Loan Parties will assist Agent in the syndication of the credit facility provided pursuant to this Agreement and the Other Documents. Such assistance shall include, but not be limited to (i) prompt assistance in the preparation of an information memorandum and the verification of the completeness and accuracy of the information and the reasonableness of the projections contained therein, (ii) preparation of offering materials and financial projections by Loan Parties and their

150

advisors, (iii) providing Agent with all information reasonably deemed necessary by Agent to successfully complete the syndication, (iv) confirmation as to the accuracy and completeness of such offering materials and information and confirmation that management’s projections are based on assumptions believed by Loan Parties to be reasonable at the time made, and (v) participation of Loan Parties’ senior management in meetings and conference calls with potential lenders at such times and places as Agent may reasonably request.

(h) If a payment made to a Lender hereunder or under any Other Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable due diligence and reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation only) at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, the Lender granting the participation) such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, the Lender granting the participation) as may be necessary for Agent or Borrowers to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (h), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

16.4 Application of Payments.

Agent shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and re-apply any payment and any and all proceeds of Collateral to any portion of the Obligations. To the extent that any Loan Party makes a payment or Agent or any Lender receives any payment or proceeds of the Collateral for any Loan Party’s benefit, which are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver, custodian or any other party under any bankruptcy law, common law or equitable cause, then, to such extent, the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Agent or such Lender.

16.5 Indemnity/Currency Indemnity.

(a) Each Loan Party shall indemnify Agent, each Issuer, each Lender and each of their respective officers, directors, Affiliates, employees, representatives and agents (each, an “Indemnitee”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel) arising from any action, litigation, proceeding, dispute or investigation which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Agent, such Issuer or any Lender in any litigation, proceeding, dispute or investigation instituted or conducted by any Governmental Body or any other Person with respect to any aspect of, or any transaction contemplated by, or referred to in, or any matter related to, this Agreement or the Other Documents, whether or not Agent, any Issuer or any Lender is a party thereto; except, that, no Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder to the extent that any of the

151

foregoing arises out of the gross (not mere) negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined pursuant to a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. Upon learning of any matter described above for which any Indemnitee may want to seek indemnity from any Loan Party, such Indemnitee shall promptly notify Administrative Loan Party of such matter; provided, that, the failure to do so shall not in any manner limit, impair or affect Loan Parties’ indemnification obligations hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any Other Document shall prohibit any Loan Party from seeking contribution or indemnity from any Person other than Agent or a Lender.

(b) If for the purposes of obtaining or enforcing judgment in any court in any jurisdiction with respect to this Agreement or any Other Document, it becomes necessary to convert into the currency of such jurisdiction (the “Judgment Currency”) any amount due under this Agreement or under any Other Document in any currency other than the Judgment Currency (the “Currency Due”) (including any Currency Due for the purposes of Section 2.5) then, to the extent permitted by law, conversion shall be made at the exchange rate selected by Agent on the Business Day before the day on which judgment is given (or for the purposes of Section 2.5 on the Business Day on which the payment was received by Agent). In the event that there is a change in such exchange rate between the Business Day before the day on which the judgment is given and the date of receipt by Agent of the amount due, Borrowers shall to the extent permitted by law, on the date of receipt by Agent, pay such additional amounts, if any, or be entitled to receive reimbursement of such amount, if any, as may be necessary to ensure that the amount received by Agent on such date is the amount in the Judgment Currency which (when converted at such exchange rate on the date of receipt by Agent in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction) is the amount then due under this Agreement or such Other Document in the Currency Due. If the amount of the Currency Due (including any Currency Due for purposes of Section 2.5) which Agent is so able to purchase is less than the amount of the Currency Due (including any Currency Due for purposes of Section 2.5) originally due to it, Borrowers shall to the extent permitted by law jointly and severally indemnify and save Agent and Lenders harmless from and against loss or damage arising as a result of such deficiency.

16.6 Notice.

16.11 Injunctive Relief.

Each Loan Party recognizes that, in the event any Loan Party fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to Agent and Lenders; therefore, Agent, if Agent so requests, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving that actual damages are not an adequate remedy.

16.12 Consequential Damages.

None of Agent, any Issuer, any Lender, nor any agent or attorney for any of them, shall be liable to any Loan Party for special, punitive, exemplary, indirect or consequential damages arising from any breach of contract, tort or other wrong relating to the establishment, administration or collection of the Obligations.

Each Lender or other Person that is designated (in the preamble of this Agreement or otherwise) as “Arranger”, “Syndication Agent”, “Bookrunner” or any title of any similar type shall not have any right, power, responsibility or duty under this Agreement or any of the Other Documents, other than those applicable to all Lenders (in the case of a Lender), and shall in no event be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any other Lender.
