Unless otherwise agreed upon by the applicable Issuing Lender at its sole discretion, the Borrower shall make a specific request to such Issuing Lender for any renewal of an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit, such prior notice to be delivered to the applicable Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent no later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration or termination date of such Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit (the date of the delivery of such notice, the “Renewal Notice Date”); provided that, unless otherwise agreed upon by the applicable Issuing Lender at its sole discretion, the Borrower shall provide to the applicable Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent written notice of its intent to not renew such an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit no later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration or termination date of such Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit (the date of the delivery of such notice, the “Non-Renewal Notice Date”). Once an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit has been issued (or is permitted to be outstanding hereunder in the case of an outstanding Letter of Credit that is an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit), the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but the Lenders may not require) such Issuing Lender to permit the renewal of such Letter of Credit at any time to a date not later than six (6) months after the Termination Date; provided, however, that no Issuing Lender shall permit any renewal of an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit if (A) such Issuing Lender has determined that it would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 3.4 or 6.2 or otherwise), (B) after giving effect to any such renewal, the earlier of the (x) expiration date of such Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit and (y) the next occurring Non-Renewal Notice Date of such Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit would occur after the date that is six (6) months after the Termination Date, or (C) it has received notice in writing on or before the date that is two (2) Business Days before the Renewal Notice Date from the

Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 3.4 or 6.2 is not then satisfied. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Issuing Lender shall have any obligation to permit the renewal of any Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit at any time if any of the applicable conditions specified in Section 6.2 is not then satisfied.

(d) If any Issuing Lender (other than JPMorgan Chase Bank or an Affiliate thereof) shall issue, extend or amend any Letter of Credit without obtaining prior consent of the Administrative Agent (as provided in Section 3.3(d)), or if any Issuing Lender (other than, in the case of clause (i) below, JPMorgan Chase Bank or an Affiliate thereof) shall permit the extension or renewal of an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit (i) without giving timely prior notice to the Administrative Agent or (ii) when such extension or renewal is not permitted hereunder (as provided in sub-section (c) above), such Letter of Credit (A) shall for all purposes be deemed to have been issued by such Issuing Lender solely for its own account and risk and (B) shall not be considered a Letter of Credit outstanding under this Agreement, and no Lender shall be deemed to have any participation therein, effective as of the date of such issuance, amendment, extension or renewal, as the case may be, unless the Required Lenders expressly consent thereto; provided, however, that to be considered a Letter of Credit outstanding under this Agreement, the consent of all Lenders shall be required to the extent that any such issuance, amendment, extension or renewal is not then permitted hereunder by reason of the provisions of this Section 3.4.

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, an Issuing Lender is under no obligation to issue or provide any Letter of Credit (including any renewal of an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit) or renew, extend or amend any Letter of Credit unless consented to by such Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent, if:

(i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Lender from issuing, renewing, extending or amending such Letter of Credit, or any Requirement of Law applicable to such Issuing Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of Law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Lender shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Lender refrain from, the issuance, renewal, extension or amending of a Letter of Credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (in the case of an amendment of a Letter of Credit, for which such Issuing Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Lender any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which such Issuing Lender in good xxxxx xxxxx material to it; or

(ii) such Letter of Credit or the requested amendment is not in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such Issuing Lender thereof or the issuance of such Letter of Credit shall violate any applicable policies of such Issuing Lender.

(f) Within one (1) Business Day after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the Issuing Lender thereof will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

(g) Each Letter of Credit shall be subject to the International Standby Practices (“ISP 98”) International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 590 or Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits No. 600 (“UCP 600”), as applicable, and to the extent not inconsistent with ISP 98 or UCP 600, the Laws of the State of New York.

(c) The obligations of the L/C Participants to purchase participations in the obligations of the Issuing Lenders under outstanding Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 3.6 shall survive the Termination Date with respect to Letters of Credit which have been Cash Collateralized pursuant to Section 3.4(b) until the earliest of (i) the expiration date for such Letters of Credit and all drawings thereunder having been repaid in full, (ii) the date the entire amount available under such Letters of Credit are drawn and such drawings are repaid and no further drawings are permitted under such Letters of Credit, and (iii) the date that is six (6) months after the Termination Date applicable to such Letters of Credit; provided that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.6(c), with respect to any Letter of Credit having an expiration date following the Termination Date applicable thereto (such a Letter of Credit, a “Post-Termination LOC”), in no event shall the obligations of the L/C Participants to purchase participations in the obligations of an Issuing Lender under a Post-Termination LOC pursuant to Section 3.6(a) expire or terminate prior to the Business Day following the expiration, cancellation or termination of the last remaining outstanding Post-Termination LOC and the payment in full of all drawings, if any, thereunder.

(d) If for any reason any Unreimbursed Amount cannot be refinanced by an L/C Reimbursement Loan in accordance with Section 3.7(c), each Relevant L/C Participant shall, on or before the deadline for such Relevant Facility Loan to have been made, pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Lender in immediately available funds such Relevant L/C Participant’s Commitment Percentage of such Unreimbursed Amount, and upon receipt thereof, the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute such funds to the applicable Issuing Lender in like funds received.

(e) If any L/C Participant fails to timely pay to the Administrative Agent all or a portion of its Commitment Percentage of any Unreimbursed Amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 3.6(d), such overdue amounts shall bear interest payable by such L/C Participant at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans under the applicable Facility until such overdue amounts are paid in full.

(f) Whenever, at any time after any Issuing Lender has received from any Relevant L/C Participant its Commitment Percentage of any Unreimbursed Amount, such Issuing Lender receives any payment on account thereof (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by such Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, such Issuing Lender shall distribute to such Relevant L/C Participant its Commitment Percentage of such payments; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by such Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by such Issuing Lender, such Relevant L/C Participant shall return to such Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by such Issuing Lender to it in like funds received.

3.7 Reimbursement Obligations of the Borrower. (a) Upon receipt by the relevant Issuing Lender from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing or demand for payment under such Letter of Credit, such Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. If the Borrower receives notice (confirmed by telephone) from such Issuing Lender of a drawing or demand for payment under a Letter of Credit prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time), on any Business Day, the Borrower shall reimburse such Issuing Lender on such Business Day for the Unreimbursed Amount of such Letter of Credit. If the Borrower receives notice (confirmed by telephone) from such Issuing Lender of a drawing or demand for payment under a Letter of Credit at or after 1:00 p.m. (New York City time), on any Business Day, the Borrower shall so reimburse such Issuing Lender on the Business Day immediately following the Business Day upon which such notice was received by the Borrower. Such reimbursement shall be made directly to such Issuing Lender in an amount in United Stated Dollars equal to (i) the amount so paid and (ii) any Non-Excluded Taxes and any reasonable fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by such Issuing Lender at its Applicable Lending Office in immediately available funds (such amount that has not been reimbursed by the Borrower being, the “Unreimbursed Amount”).

(b) If the Borrower fails to fully reimburse any Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.7(a) at the time and on the due date specified in such Section (the “Reimbursement Date”), such Issuing Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Borrower), which notice shall be provided on a Business Day, and specify in such notice the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount. Immediately upon receipt of such notice from such Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Relevant L/C Participant of the Reimbursement Date, the Unreimbursed Amount, and the amount of such Relevant L/C Participant’s Commitment Percentage thereof.

(c) If there shall be any Unreimbursed Amounts owing to any Issuing Lender on or after such Unreimbursed Amounts were due pursuant to Section 3.7(a), the relevant Issuing Lender may request on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes such Issuing Lender to act on its behalf solely in this regard), that each Relevant Facility Lender make a Relevant Facility Loan (which initially shall be a Base Rate Loan) in an amount equal to such Relevant Facility Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the outstanding amount of such Unreimbursed Amount (an “L/C Reimbursement Loan”). In accordance with Section 2.5(c), unless any of the conditions contained in Section 6.2 shall not have been satisfied or waived (in which event the procedures set forth in Section 3.6 shall apply), each Relevant Facility Lender shall make the proceeds of its Relevant Facility Loan available to the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) in funds immediately available on the Business Day next succeeding the date such request is made. The proceeds of such Relevant Facility Loans shall be immediately applied to repay the applicable Issuing Lender.

(d) With respect to Unreimbursed Amounts that are not paid on the date due, interest shall be payable on any and all Unreimbursed Amounts from the date such amounts become payable (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, demand or otherwise) until payment in full (either in cash or upon the making of a Relevant Facility Loan) at the applicable rate which would be payable on any outstanding Relevant Facility Loans that were Base Rate Loans which were then overdue.

3.8 Obligations Absolute. (a) The Borrower’s obligations under this Section 3 shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the Issuing Lender, nor any of their Related Persons, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Lender; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Lender from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Lender’s failure to exercise care

when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Lender (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

3.9 Role of the Issuing Lenders. (a) The responsibility of any Issuing Lender to the Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit issued on behalf of the Borrower shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered by or on behalf of the beneficiary under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are in conformity with such Letter of Credit. In addition, each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing or demand for payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender of such Letter of Credit shall not have any responsibility to inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any document presented in connection with such drawing or demand for payment or the authority of the Person executing or delivering the same.

(b) No Agent-Related Person nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of any Issuing Lender shall be liable to any Lender for: (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith in respect of any Letter of Credit at the request or with the approval or deemed approved of the Required Lenders; (ii) any action taken or omitted in respect of any Letter of Credit in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any document delivered in connection with the issuance or payment of such Letter of Credit.

(c) The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower from pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against such beneficiary or transferee. No Agent-Related Person, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the Issuing Lenders shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in Section 3.8; provided, however, that anything in such Section or elsewhere herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against any Issuing Lender and such Issuing Lender may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proved were caused (x) by such Issuing Lender’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of documents strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit or (y) as a result of gross negligence or willful misconduct by such Issuing Lender with respect to the payment by such Issuing Lender of any Letter of Credit against presentation of any document or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing: (i) any Issuing Lender may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary; and (ii) no Issuing Lender shall be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

3.10 Letter of Credit Request. To the extent that any material provision of any Letter of Credit Request related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 3, the provisions of this Section 3 shall apply.

SECTION 4

GENERAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO LOANS AND LETTERS OF CREDIT

4.1 Increase, Termination or Reduction of Commitments. (a) The Borrower shall have the right, from time to time, upon not less than four (4) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Working Capital Facility Commitments and Acquisition Facility Commitments or, from time to time, reduce the Commitments on a ratable basis; provided, that no such termination or reduction of the relevant Commitments shall be permitted to the extent that, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Loans and Cash Collateralization of the Letters of Credit made on or before the effective date thereof, (i) the Total Working Capital Facility Extensions of Credit would exceed the aggregate amount of all Working Capital Facility Commitments of all Working Capital Facility Lenders then in effect or (ii) the Total Acquisition Facility Extensions of Credit would exceed the aggregate amount of all Acquisition Facility Commitments of all Acquisition Facility Lenders then in effect. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof and shall reduce permanently and ratably the applicable relevant Commitment then in effect.

(b) At any time during the Increase Period, (x) the aggregate Working Capital Facility Commitments may be increased to an amount not to exceed $950,000,000 (a “Working Capital Facility Increase”) and (y) the aggregate Acquisition Facility Commitments may be increased to an amount not to exceed $450,000,000 (an “Acquisition Facility Increase”; a Working Capital Facility Increase and an Acquisition Facility Increase, each being a “Facility Increase”) pursuant to the following procedure:

(i) Not more than thirty (30) days and not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the proposed effective date of any Facility Increase with respect to any Facility, the Borrower may make a written request for such Facility Increase to the Administrative Agent, who shall forward a copy of any such request to the Lenders under such Facility. Each request by the Borrower pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall specify a proposed effective date of such increase (the “Requested Increase Effective Date”), the aggregate amount of such requested increase (the “Requested Increase Amount”), and shall constitute an invitation to each of the Lenders under such Facility to increase its Commitment under such Facility by its Commitment Percentage of such Requested Increase Amount.

(ii) Each Lender under such Facility, acting in its sole discretion and with no obligations to increase its Commitment under such Facility pursuant to this Section 4.1(b), shall by written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent advise the Borrower and the Administrative Agent whether or not such Lender agrees to all or any portion of such increase in its Commitment under such Facility within ten (10) days after the Borrower’s request. Any such Lender may accept all of its Commitment Percentage of such increase, a portion of such increase, or decline to accept any of such increase in its Commitment under such Facility. If any such Lender shall not have responded affirmatively within such ten (10) day period, such Lender shall be deemed to have rejected the Borrower’s request for an increase in such Commitment in full. Promptly following the conclusion of such ten (10) day period, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of the results of the request for the applicable Facility Increase.

(iii) If the aggregate amount of the increases in the Commitments under any Facility which the Lenders under such Facility have accepted in accordance with Section 4.1(b)(ii) shall be less than the Requested Increase Amount, the Administrative Agent (subject to the approval of the

Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lenders under such Facility, such approvals not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) may offer to such additional Persons (including the Lenders under such Facility), as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the opportunity to make available such amount of new Commitments under such Facility as may be required so that the aggregate increases in the Commitments under such Facility by the existing Lenders thereunder together with such new Commitments by such other Persons (the “New Lenders”) shall equal the Requested Increase Amount (the aggregate Facility Increase provided by such existing Lenders and the New Lenders, the “Increase Amount”). Such Increase Amount shall be in an amount equal to $5,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof. The effectiveness of all such increases in the Commitments under such Facility are subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions: (A) each Lender that so elects to increase its Commitment under such Facility (each an “Increasing Lender”), each New Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have executed and delivered an agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit P (an “Increase and New Lender Agreement”); (B) (i) with respect to the Working Capital Facility, aggregate Working Capital Facility Commitment after giving effect to such increases shall not exceed $950,000,000 and (ii) with respect to the Acquisition Facility, the aggregate Acquisition Facility Commitments after giving effect to such increase shall not exceed $450,000,000; (C) any fees and other amounts (including pursuant to Section 11.6) payable by the Borrower in connection with such increase and accession shall have been paid; (D) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from such increase in the Commitments; (E) delivery of an Availability Certification dated as of the date of such increase and (F) the Administrative Agent shall have received in respect of the Mortgaged Properties (1) such amendments to the Mortgage and Security Agreements as are in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, in each case, executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer of the relevant Loan Party to the extent necessary to reflect the increase in the Working Capital Facility or the Acquisition Facility, as applicable (it being understood that, unless requested by the Administrative Agent, no amendment shall increase the amount secured thereby if the same will result in the payment of additional mortgage recording tax) and (2) with respect to each such Mortgage and Security Agreement, a date-down endorsement to the title insurance policy covering such Mortgage and Security Agreement (or if a date-down is not available for a particular jurisdiction, a new title insurance policy in the same insured amount as originally issued or marked up unconditional title commitment, pro forma policy or binder for such insurance) in each case in form and substance not materially less favorable to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders as such title policies or marked up unconditional title commitments, pro forma policies or binders delivered on or prior to the Closing Date, (3) evidence satisfactory to it that all premiums in respect of a related date-down endorsement or title policy (or policies) have been paid and (4) to the extent required by applicable Law, a standard flood hazard determination for each Mortgaged Property, and with respect to any Mortgaged Property that is located in a special flood hazard area, evidence of flood insurance in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, Extensions of Credit made under any Facility Increase shall bear interest at the rate otherwise applicable to corresponding Extensions of Credit under the applicable Facility.

(iv) On any Requested Increase Effective Date with respect to any Facility, (A) each Increasing Lender or New Lender thereof shall make available to the Administrative Agent such amounts in immediately available funds as the Administrative Agent shall determine for the benefit of the other Lenders under such Facility as being required in order to cause (after giving effect to such increase and the use of such amounts to make payments to the other Lenders under such Facility) each Lender’s portion of the outstanding Loans of all Lenders under such Facility to equal its Commitment Percentage of such Loans, (B) the Borrower shall be deemed to have repaid and reborrowed all outstanding Loans of all the Lenders under such Facility to equal its Commitment Percentage of such outstanding Loans as of the date of the applicable Facility Increase (with such reborrowing to consist of the Types of Loans, with related Interest Periods, if applicable, specified in a notice delivered by the

Borrower in accordance with the requirements of Section 4.3) and (C) the participations in Letters of Credit shall be adjusted to reflect changes in the applicable Commitment Percentages. The deemed payments made pursuant to clause (B) of the immediately preceding sentence in respect of each Eurodollar Loan shall be subject to indemnification by the Borrower pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.14 if the deemed payment occurs other than on the last day of the related Interest Periods; provided, that the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall cooperate with the Borrower to reduce and/or eliminate any such indemnification payments to the extent reasonably possible if such cooperation would not subject the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to the Administrative Agent or such Lender.

(v) Upon the Requested Increase Effective Date with respect to any Facility, Schedule 1.0 of the Increase and New Lender Agreement, which shall reflect the Commitments and the Commitment Percentages of the Lenders under such Facility at such time, shall be deemed to supersede Schedule 1.0 hereto without any further action or consent of any party. The Administrative Agent shall cause a copy of such revised Schedule 1.0 to be available to the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders.

4.2 Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Eurodollar Loan determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) Each Base Rate Loan (including Swing Line Loans) shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(c) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), all outstanding Obligations (whether or not overdue) (to the extent legally permitted) shall bear interest at a rate per annum that is equal to (i) in the case of the Loans, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus 2.00%, (ii) in the case of Reimbursement Obligations, the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans in respect of the applicable Facility plus 2.00%, and (iii) in the case of any interest payable on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or any commitment fee or other amount payable hereunder, at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Working Capital Facility plus 2.00%, in each case, from the date of such nonpayment until such amount not paid when due is paid in full (after as well as before judgment).

(d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date or on the applicable date with respect to interest payable pursuant to Section 4.2(c) above.

4.3 Conversion and Continuation Options. (a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to Convert Eurodollar Loans to Base Rate Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least two (2) Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election in the form attached hereto as Annex II (the “Continuation/Conversion Notice”), such Continuation/Conversion Notice specifying the amount and the date such Conversion is to be made; provided that any such Conversion of Eurodollar Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Borrower may elect from time to time to Convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans by giving the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice of such election (in the form of a Continuation/Conversion Notice) prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) at its New York office, three (3) Business Days before the date of such election. Any such notice of Conversion to Eurodollar Loans shall specify the amount to be Converted, the date of such Conversion and the length of the initial Interest Period or Interest Periods therefor. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. All or any part of outstanding Eurodollar Loans or Base Rate Loans may be Converted as provided herein; provided that (i) no Base

Rate Loan may be Converted into a Eurodollar Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have reasonably determined that such a Conversion is not appropriate and (ii) no Base Rate Loan may be Converted into a Eurodollar Loan after the date that is one (1) month prior to the Termination Date.

(b) Any Eurodollar Loans may be Continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (in the form of a Continuation/Conversion Notice) prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time), at its New York office, in each case, three (3) Business Days before the date such Eurodollar Loans are to be Continued, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans. If the Borrower fails to give timely notice requesting a Continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be converted to Base Rate Loans. Any automatic Conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Loans.

(c) During the existence of an Event of Default, no Loan may be requested as, Converted to or Continued as Eurodollar Loans if the Required Lenders have reasonably determined that such a request, Conversion or Continuation is not appropriate.

4.4 Minimum Amounts of Tranches; Maximum Number of Tranches. (a) All borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans hereunder and all selections of Interest Periods hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans comprising each Tranche shall be equal to $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof.

(b) No more than twenty (20) Tranches of Eurodollar Loans shall be outstanding at any one time; provided that for each Facility Increase in an aggregate principal amount of $50,000,000, two (2) additional Tranches of Eurodollar Loans may be outstanding (up to a maximum of twenty-five (25) Tranches of Eurodollar Loans) at any one time.

4.5 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrower unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the appropriate Lender or to the relevant Issuing Lender, as applicable, the then unpaid principal amount of each Acquisition Facility Loan and each Working Capital Facility Loan on the Maturity Date therefor. The Borrower hereby further agrees to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations of the Borrower from time to time outstanding from the date hereof until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in Section 4.2.

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice a record or records setting forth all of the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan or other Extension of Credit of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

(c) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Borrower, shall maintain the Register required by Section 11.7(d), and shall include a subaccount therein for each Lender, in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan and a copy of the Note, if any, evidencing such Loan, the Type thereof and each Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest or fee due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder, (iii) the amount of such Lender’s share of any Unreimbursed Amount and (iv) both the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the Register and the records of each Lender maintained pursuant to Section 4.5(b) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded (absent manifest error); provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder made to the Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) The Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any Lender, the Borrower will execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note evidencing the Working Capital Facility Loans, the Swing Line Loans or the Acquisition Facility Loans, as applicable, of such Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit X-0, X-0 or A-3, as applicable, with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount (individually, a “Note” and, collectively, the “Notes”).

4.6 Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans made to it, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon notice by the Borrower in the form attached hereto as Annex III (the “Notice of Prepayment”) delivered to the Administrative Agent (x) no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed prepayment date in the case of Eurodollar Loans, (y) no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the proposed prepayment date in the case of Base Rate Loans, and (z) not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the proposed prepayment date in the case of Swing Line Loans, in each case, which notice shall specify (x) the date and amount of prepayment, (y) which Loans shall be prepaid and (z) whether the prepayment is of Base Rate Loans, Eurodollar Loans or a combination thereof, and, if of a combination thereof, the amount allocable to each; provided that if a Eurodollar Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or the Borrower revokes any notice of prepayment previously delivered pursuant to this Section 4.6 after the date/time specified above, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 4.14. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with any amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.14. Partial prepayments pursuant to this Section 4.6 shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple thereof. If the Borrower shall make any prepayment of a Swing Line Loan after 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth Business Day following the making of such Swing Line Loan and the Swing Line Lender shall have requested from the Lenders Refunded Swing Line Loans in accordance with Section 2.6(a) on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Administrative Agent shall apply such prepayment in the following order: first, to any other Swing Line Loans outstanding at such time and second, to any outstanding Working Capital Facility Loans that are Base Rate Loans of the Borrower. If the amount of such prepayment is greater than the outstanding amount of such Swing Line Loans and such Working Capital Facility Loans that are Base Rate Loans at the time such prepayment is made, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit the excess to the Borrower.

4.7 Mandatory Prepayments. (a) If on any date, the sum of the Total Working Capital Facility Extensions of Credit and the Acquisition Facility Working Capital Extensions of Credit exceed the Borrowing Base, then (i) the Borrower shall specify, at its sole discretion, one or more of the Working Capital Facility Loans, the Acquisition Facility Working Capital Loans or the Swing Line Loans of the Borrower to be prepaid and the Borrower shall prepay such Loan or Loans, and/or (ii) the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize, replace or decrease (if the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit agrees to such decrease) the amount of outstanding Working Capital Facility Letters of Credit or Acquisition Facility Working Capital Letters of Credit by an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess, no later than three (3) Business Days immediately following such date.

(b) If on any date (i) the Total Acquisition Facility Acquisition Extensions of Credit shall exceed the Eligible Acquisition Asset Value, (ii) the Total Acquisition Facility Extensions of Credit shall exceed the aggregate Acquisition Facility Commitments, (iii) the Total Working Capital Facility Extensions of Credit shall exceed the aggregate Working Capital Facility Commitments, and/or (iv) any extension of credit under this Agreement shall result in any Applicable Sub-Limit being exceeded, then (A) the Borrower shall specify, at its sole discretion, one or more Loans of the Borrower to be prepaid and the Borrower shall prepay such Loans and/or (B) the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize, replace or decrease (if the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit agrees to such decrease) the amount of outstanding Letters of Credit by an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess, no later than three (3) Business Days immediately following such date.

(c) Unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree, if on any date the Borrower or any Guarantor shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from any individual Asset Sale or Recovery Event, then, unless a Reinvestment Notice shall be delivered in respect thereof within three (3) Business Days thereafter, 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied on such third Business Day toward the prepayment of the relevant Loans (provided, however, that the Borrower shall specify, at its sole discretion, the Loans of the Borrower to be so prepaid) and Cash Collateralization of the relevant Letters of Credit in accordance with Sections 4.7(d), (e) and (f); provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, on each Reinvestment Prepayment Date, an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount with respect to the relevant Reinvestment Event shall be applied toward the prepayment of the relevant Loans and Cash Collateralization of the relevant Letters of Credit as set forth in Sections 4.7(d) and (e).

(d) Amounts prepaid pursuant to Section 4.7(c) from the proceeds of Asset Sales or Recovery Events with respect to Acquisition Assets shall be applied, first, to the prepayment of the Acquisition Facility Acquisition Loans that are Base Rate Loans, second, to the prepayment of the Acquisition Facility Acquisition Loans that are Eurodollar Loans, third, to the Cash Collateralization of the Acquisition Facility Acquisition Letters of Credit, fourth, to the prepayment of the Swing Line Loans, fifth, to the prepayment of Acquisition Facility Working Capital Loans that are Base Rate Loans, sixth, to the prepayment of Acquisition Facility Working Capital Loans that are Eurodollar Loans, seventh, to the Cash Collateralization of the Acquisition Facility Working Capital Letters of Credit, eighth, to the prepayment of Working Capital Facility Loans that are Base Rate Loans, ninth, to the prepayment of Working Capital Facility Loans that are Eurodollar Loans, and tenth, to the Cash Collateralization of the Working Capital Facility Letters of Credit.

(e) Amounts prepaid pursuant to Section 4.7(c) from the proceeds of Asset Sales or Recovery Events with respect to assets included in the Borrowing Base shall be applied, first, to the prepayment of the Swing Line Loans, second, to the prepayment of Acquisition Facility Working Capital Loans that are Base Rate Loans, third, to the prepayment of Acquisition Facility Working Capital Loans that are Eurodollar Loans, fourth, to the Cash Collateralization of the Acquisition Facility Working Capital Letters of Credit, fifth, to the prepayment of Working Capital Facility Loans that are Base Rate Loans, sixth, to the prepayment of Working Capital Facility Loans that are Eurodollar Loans, seventh, to the Cash Collateralization of the Working Capital Facility Letters of Credit, eighth, to the prepayment of the Acquisition Facility Acquisition Loans that are Base Rate Loans, ninth, to the prepayment of the Acquisition Facility Acquisition Loans that are Eurodollar Loans, and tenth, to the Cash Collateralization of the Acquisition Facility Acquisition Letters of Credit.

(f) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender) by written notice of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan, not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time), three (3) Business Days before the date of the prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of a Base Rate Loan, not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of the prepayment and (iii) in the

case of prepayment of a Swing Line Loan, not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Loan or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the required amount of such prepayment. Promptly following receipt of any such notice (other than a notice relating solely to Swing Line Loans), the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each prepayment of an extension of credit shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid extension of credit and otherwise in accordance with this Section 4.7(f). Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 4.2.

(g) Any prepayment of Loans pursuant to this Section 4.7, and the rights of the Lenders in respect thereof, are subject to the provisions of Section 4.9.

(h) For the avoidance of doubt, no amounts prepaid under this Section 4.7 shall permanently reduce any Commitments.

4.8 Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) All fees and interest on Base Rate Loans that are calculated using clauses (a) or (c) of the definition of “Base Rate” and Eurodollar Loans shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed. Interest on Base Rate Loans calculated using clause (b) of the definition of “Base Rate” shall be calculated on the basis of a 365/366-day year, as the case may be, for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the Lenders of each determination of each Eurodollar Rate for any Eurodollar Loans outstanding. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Base Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 4.2(a).

4.9 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Other than as expressly set forth herein, each borrowing by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder and any reduction of the Commitments under any Facility shall be made pro rata according to the respective Commitment Percentages, as applicable, of the Lenders under such Facility. Other than as expressly set forth herein, each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest and fees on the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations under any Facility shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations under such Facility, respectively, then held by the Lenders.

(b) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder on account of principal of Loans (other than Base Rate Loans on any day other than the Maturity Date of such Loans) shall be accompanied by a payment in an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid interest on such Loans. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders at the Administrative Agent’s office specified in Section 11.2 in United States Dollars in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the appropriate Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day,

such payment obligation shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its Commitment Percentage of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent on demand such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 4.9 shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three (3) Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans on demand from the Borrower (without duplication of the interest otherwise applicable thereto).

(d) Subject to Sections 4.7(d) and (e) and Section 4.18, the application of any payment of Loans (including optional and mandatory prepayments), along with the application of any proceeds obtained upon the exercise of remedies by the Agents for the Lenders hereunder or under any Loan Document, shall be made to each Lender based upon its Commitment Percentage, first, to Base Rate Loans and, second, to Eurodollar Loans. Each payment of the Eurodollar Loans shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such payment on the amount paid.

4.10 Requirements of Law. (a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender or the Administrative Agent with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

(i) does or shall subject any Lender or the Administrative Agent to any Tax or increased Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any Loan or any Letter of Credit made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or the Administrative Agent in respect thereof (provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to (x) any U.S. federal withholding Tax or Other Taxes, as to which Section 4.11 shall govern, or (y) any Tax imposed on or measured by a Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s net income (to the extent it does not change the basis of taxation), including any changes in the rate of net income Taxes (or franchise Taxes in lieu thereof) imposed on a Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable);

(ii) does or shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate; or

(iii) does or shall impose on such Lender any other condition, cost or expense (provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to (x) any U.S. federal withholding Tax or Other Taxes, as to which Section 4.11 shall govern, or (y) any Tax imposed on or measured by a Lender’s net income (to the extent it does not change the basis of taxation), including any changes in the rate of net income Taxes (or franchise Taxes in lieu thereof) imposed on a Lender); and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or the Administrative Agent of making, Converting into, Continuing or maintaining this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any Loan or issuing, providing and maintaining any Letter of Credit or holding an interest in any Issuing Lender’s obligations thereunder, or to reduce any amount receivable by the Lender or the Administrative Agent in respect thereof, then the Lender or the Administrative Agent shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Applicable Lending Office for funding or booking Loans or issuing Letters of Credit if, in the judgment of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, such designation (x) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to this Section 4.10 or eliminate the need to provide the notice specified in clause (c) of this Section 4.10 and (y) would not subject such Lender or the Administrative Agent to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or the Administrative Agent;

then, in any such case, and to the extent that such cost is not fully compensated for by an adjustment to the Eurodollar Rate, the Base Rate or any fee on a Letter of Credit or mitigated pursuant to a change in such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office, the Borrower shall promptly, after receiving notice as specified in clause (c) of this Section 4.10, pay such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Administrative Agent for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable on a net after-Tax basis.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction on a net after-Tax basis.

(c) If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.10, it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. A certificate prepared in good faith as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 4.10 submitted by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The agreements in this Section 4.10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and all other amounts payable hereunder. No Lender shall be entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to Section 4.10(a) and (b) for circumstances which occurred more than 180 days prior to the date such Lender makes a request for payment hereunder.

(d) It is agreed and understood that, for all purposes under this Agreement (including for purposes of this Section 4.10 and Section 4.11) that (i) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith on in implementation thereof and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee

on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be an adoption or change in a Requirement of Law made subsequent to the date hereof, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, implemented or issued.

4.11 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on behalf of each Loan Party or any Agent under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents to which such Loan Party is a party shall, unless otherwise required by law, be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities (including penalties, interest and additions to tax) with respect thereto, whether now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any taxation authority or other Governmental Authority (collectively, “Taxes”). If any Loan Party or the Agent shall be required under any Requirement of Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under or in respect of this Agreement, the Loans, the Letters of Credit or any of the other Loan Documents to any Agent or Lender (including for purposes of this Section 4.11 and Section 4.10 any assignee, successor or participant), as determined in good faith by the applicable Loan Party or Agent, (i) such Loan Party or Agent shall make all such deductions and withholdings in respect of Taxes, (ii) such Loan Party or Agent shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld in respect of Taxes to the relevant taxation authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with any Requirement of Law, and (iii) in the case of any Non-Excluded Taxes, the sum payable by such Loan Party shall be increased as may be necessary so that after such Loan Party or Agent has made all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 4.11) such Lender or Agent receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made or required in respect of Non-Excluded Taxes. For purposes of this Agreement the term “Non-Excluded Taxes” are Taxes other than, (i) in the case of a Lender or Agent, Taxes that are imposed on it by the jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) under the laws of which such Lender or Agent is organized or has its applicable lending office, unless such Taxes are imposed solely as a result of such Lender or Agent having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received payments under, or enforced, this Agreement, the Loans, the Letters of Credit or any of the other Loan Documents, in which case such Taxes will be treated as Non-Excluded Taxes, (ii) net income, franchise or branch profit taxes imposed on a Lender or an Agent (A) by the jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) under the laws of which such Lender or Agent is organized or has its principal office or applicable lending office or (B) that are Other Connection Taxes, (iii) any U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed on any payment under the law as of the date hereof, (iv) any Tax imposed on a Transferee (other than an assignee pursuant to a request by the Borrower under Section 4.17) or successor Agent to the extent that, under applicable Law in effect on the date of the transfer to such Transferee or such successor Agent, the amount of such Tax exceeds the Non-Excluded Taxes, if any, that were imposed on payments to the transferring Lender or predecessor Agent, or (v) any U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed under FATCA. For the avoidance of doubt, the exclusions described in the preceding sentence will apply to the same effect to direct or indirect beneficial owners of a Lender that is fiscally transparent.

(b) In addition, each Loan Party hereby agrees to pay any present or future stamp, recording, documentary, excise, property or value-added taxes, or similar Taxes, charges or levies that arise from any payment made under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or from the execution, delivery or registration of, any performance under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (collectively, “Other Taxes”).

(c) Each Loan Party hereby agrees to indemnify each Lender that is not fiscally transparent and, in the case of a Lender that is fiscally transparent, its direct or indirect beneficial owners for which such Loan Party has received proof of such ownership and entitlement to the benefits of this

Section 4.11 (subject to the same conditions for, and exclusions from indemnification as are applicable to a Lender that is not fiscally transparent), and each Agent for, and to hold each harmless against, the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes, and the full amount of Taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 4.11 imposed on or paid by such Lender or Agent, and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. The indemnity by the Loan Parties provided for in this Section 4.11(c) shall apply and be made whether or not the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes for which indemnification hereunder is sought have been correctly or legally asserted. Amounts payable by any Loan Party under the indemnity set forth in this Section 4.11(c) shall be paid within ten (10) days from the date on which the Lender or Agent makes written demand therefor.

(d) Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the applicable Loan Party (or any Person making such payment on behalf of the Loan Parties) shall furnish to Lender and/or Agent for its own account a certified copy of the original official receipt evidencing payment thereof or evidence of such payment as is reasonably satisfactory to such Lender or Agent.

(e) For purposes of this Section 4.11(e), the terms “United States” and “United States person” shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Code. Each Lender (including for avoidance of doubt any assignee, successor or participant) or Agent (including for the avoidance of doubt any successor) (i) that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia or (ii) whose name does not include “Incorporated”, “Inc.”, “Corporation”, “Corp.”, “P.C.”, “N.A.”, “National Association”, “insurance company”, or “assurance company” (in the case of a Lender, a “Non-Exempt Lender” and, in the case of an Agent, a “Non-Exempt Agent”) shall on or prior to the Closing Date, or in the case of a Transferee of a Lender or a successor to an Agent, on or prior to the date such Person becomes a Transferee or Agent, deliver or cause to be delivered to each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower originals of the following properly completed and duly executed documents:

(i) in the case of a Non-Exempt Lender or Non-Exempt Agent that is not a United States person or is a foreign disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes that is entitled to provide such form, a complete and executed (x) U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN with Part II completed in which Lender claims the benefits of a tax treaty with the United States providing for a zero or reduced rate of withholding (or any successor forms thereto), including all appropriate attachments or (y) U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms thereto); or

(ii) in the case of a Non-Exempt Lender or Non-Exempt Agent that is an individual, (x) a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms thereto) and a certificate substantially in the form of the applicable Exhibit X-0, X-0, X-0 or D-4 (a “Section 4.11 Certificate”) or (y) a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor forms thereto); or

(iii) in the case of a Non-Exempt Lender or Non-Exempt Agent that is organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia, a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor forms thereto); or

(iv) in the case of a Non-Exempt Lender or Non-Exempt Agent that (x) is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia and (y) is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms thereto) and a Section 4.11 Certificate; or

(v) in the case of a Non-Exempt Lender or Non-Exempt Agent that (A) is treated as a partnership or other non-corporate entity and (B) is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia, (x)(i) a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms thereto) (including all required documents and attachments) and (ii) a Section 4.11 Certificate, and (y) if the Non-Exempt Lender or Non-Exempt Agent is not a withholding foreign partnership or withholding foreign trust, without duplication, with respect to each of its beneficial owners and the beneficial owners of such beneficial owners looking through chains of owners to individuals or entities that are treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes (all such owners, “beneficial owners”), the documents that would be provided by each such beneficial owner pursuant to this Section 4.11(e) if each such beneficial owner were a Lender; or

(vi) in the ease of a Non-Exempt Lender or Non-Exempt Agent that is disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the document that would be provided by its beneficial owner pursuant to this Section 4.11(e) if such beneficial owner were the Lender; or

(vii) in the case of a Non-Exempt Lender or Non-Exempt Agent that (A) is not a United States person and (B) is acting in the capacity of an “intermediary” (as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations), (x)(i) a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor form thereto) (including all required documents and attachments) and (ii) a Section 4.11 Certificate, and (y) if the intermediary is a “non-qualified intermediary” (as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations), from each person upon whose behalf the “non-qualified intermediary” is acting the documents that would be provided by such person pursuant to this Section 4.11(e) if each such person were a Lender.

Each Lender that is not a Non-Exempt Lender or Non-Exempt Agent shall, at or prior to the Closing Date, or in the case of a Transferee, on or prior to the date such Person becomes a Transferee, deliver to each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor forms thereto).

If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent 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 the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent 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 paragraph, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Person required to deliver any forms, certificates or other evidence with respect to United States federal withholding tax matters pursuant to Section 4.11(e) hereby agrees, from time to time after the initial delivery by such Person of such forms, certificates or other evidence, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such forms, certificates or other evidence obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, that such Person, to the extent it is entitled to do so, shall promptly (x) deliver to each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower new originals of any forms or other certifications required under this Section 4.11(e), properly completed and duly executed by such Person, together with any other certificate or statement of exemption required in order to confirm or establish that such Person is entitled to an exemption or reduction in the amount of United States federal income tax required to be withheld from payments to such Person under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or (y) notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence in which case such Person shall not be required to deliver any such form or certificate pursuant to this Section 4.11(e).

(f) For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the Borrower with the appropriate form, certificate or other document described in Section 4.11(e), if required (other than if such failure is due to a change in any Requirement of Law, or in the interpretation or application thereof, occurring after the date on which a form, certificate or other document originally was required to be provided by such Lender), such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification or additional amounts under Section 4.11(a) or (c) with respect to Non-Excluded Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such failure; provided, however, that should a Lender become subject to Non-Excluded Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form, certificate or other document required hereunder, the Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts as such Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Lender in recovering such Non-Excluded Taxes.

(g) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Loan Parties hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Loan Parties contained in this Section 4.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Nothing contained in Section 4.10 or this Section 4.11 shall require any Agent or Lender to make available any of its tax returns or any other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary.

4.12 Lending Offices. Loans of each Type made by any Lender shall be made and maintained at such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office for Loans of such Type.

4.13 Credit Utilization Reporting. Within five (5) Business Days after the end of each calendar month, each Issuing Lender shall deliver a report to the Administrative Agent, substantially in the form of Annex IV (a “Credit Utilization Summary”), setting forth, for each Letter of Credit issued or provided by such Issuing Lender, (i) the amount available to be drawn or utilized under such Letters of Credit as of the end of such calendar month and (ii) the amount of any drawings, payments or reductions of such Letters of Credit during such month, in each case, on an aggregate and per Letter of Credit basis. Upon receiving notice from the Borrower or the beneficiary under a Letter of Credit issued or provided by such Issuing Lender of a reduction or termination of such Letter of Credit, each Issuing Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof.

4.14 Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any actual loss or expense (other than, in the case of expenses, any administrative, processing or similar fee in respect thereof exceeding $100 for each affected Lender for each relevant event) which such Lender sustains or incurs as a result of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, Conversion into or Continuation of Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment of Eurodollar Loans on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and all other amounts payable hereunder. No Lender shall be entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.14 for circumstances which occurred more than 180 days prior to the date such Lender makes a request for payment hereunder.

4.15 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. (a) If prior to the first day of any Interest Period:

(i) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means (including by means of an Interpolated Rate) do not exist for ascertaining the relevant Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period; or

(ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of any Facility that the relevant Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period, as applicable, will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their affected Eurodollar Loans under such Facility during such Interest Period; then the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter.

(b) If such notice is given with respect to the Eurodollar Rate applicable to Eurodollar Loans under any Facility, (x) any such Eurodollar Loan requested to be made under such Facility on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as a Base Rate Loan, (y) any Base Rate Loans under such Facility that were to have been Converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans shall not be so Converted and shall continue as Base Rate Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans under such Facility shall be Converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Base Rate Loans. Until such notice has been revoked by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans under such Facility shall be made or Continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to Convert Loans under such Facility into such Type.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall promptly revoke (i) any such notice pursuant to clause (a)(i) above if the Administrative Agent determines that adequate and reasonable means exist for ascertaining the relevant Eurodollar Rate for the applicable Interest Period and (ii) any such notice pursuant to clause (a)(ii) above upon receipt of notice from the requisite Lenders under the applicable Facility necessary to give such notice in clause (a)(ii) that the relevant circumstances described in such clause (a)(ii) have ceased to exist.

4.16 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (a) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans, Continue Eurodollar Loans as such and Convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith be suspended to the extent necessary for such Lender to avoid any such unlawful action until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent that it is lawful to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, provided, however, that notwithstanding the suspension contemplated by this clause (a), the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Base Rate Loans shall continue to be in effect, and (b) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be Converted automatically to available and lawful Interest Periods, if any, or Base Rate Loans, at the option of the Borrower, on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such Conversion of a Eurodollar Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 4.14.

4.17 Replacement of Lenders. If (a)(i)(A) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to or indemnify any Lender pursuant to Section 4.11 or (B) any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.10, and (ii) in the case of Section 4.11, a Lender has declined to designate a different Applicable Lending Office, (b) any Lender invokes Section 4.16, (c) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, or (d) any Lender has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver or other modification that, pursuant to the terms of Section 11.1, requires the consent of all the Lenders, or all

affected Lenders, and with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent, then, in each case, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower may, at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions and obligations contained in Section 11.7), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 4.10 and 4.11) and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (or all of its interests, rights and obligations in respect of the Loans or Commitments that are the subject of the related amendment, waiver or other modification) to an assignee that shall assume such obligations and become a Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that (i) the transferring Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to (A) the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, and accrued fees payable to it hereunder, from the Assignee and (B) any additional amounts (including indemnity payments) payable to it hereunder from the Borrower and (ii) in the case of a transferring Lender that is also an Issuing Lender, the Letters of Credit issued by such transferring Lender shall have been cash collateralized or backed by a letter of credit or other credit support from a Non-Defaulting Lender or other bank reasonably acceptable to the transferring Lender, in each case, on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to such transferring Lender; provided, further, that, if, upon such demand by the Borrower, such Lender elects to waive its request for additional compensation pursuant to Sections 4.10 or 4.11, or consents to the proposed amendment, waiver or other modification, the demand by the Borrower for such Lender to so assign all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement shall thereupon be deemed withdrawn. Nothing in this Section 4.17 shall affect or postpone any of the rights of any Lender or any of the Obligations of the Borrower under any of the foregoing provisions of Sections 4.10, 4.11 or 4.16 in any manner. Each Lender hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power is coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Lender as assignor, any Assignment and Acceptance necessary to effectuate any assignment of such Lender’s interest hereunder in the circumstances contemplated by this Section 4.17.

4.18 Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if at any time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, the following provisions shall apply so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) If any Defaulting Lender (or a Lender who would be a Defaulting Lender but for the expiration of the relevant grace period) as a result of the exercise of a set-off shall have received a payment in respect of its Loans or its participation interests in Swing Line Loans or Letters of Credit which results in its Extensions of Credit under any Facility being less than its Commitment Percentage of the Total Extensions of Credit under such Facility, then payments (including principal, interest and fees) to such Defaulting Lender will be suspended until such time as all amounts due and owing to the Lenders under such Facility have been equalized in accordance with such Lenders’ Commitment Percentages of the Total Extensions of Credit under such Facility. Further, if at any time prior to the acceleration or maturity of the Obligations under any Facility with respect to which a Defaulting Lender is a Lender at such time, the Administrative Agent shall receive any payment in respect of principal of a Loan or a reimbursement of a Letter of Credit under such Facility, the Administrative Agent shall apply such payment first to the Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and, if applicable, Swing Line Loans, under such Facility and for which such Defaulting Lender shall have failed to fund its pro rata share to non-Defaulting Lenders under such Facility until such time as such Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund such Loans and/or participations is satisfied in full or each Lender under such Facility is paid its Commitment Percentage of the Total Extensions of Credit under such Facility. After acceleration or maturity of the Obligations under any Facility to which a Defaulting Lender is a Lender, subject to the first sentence of this Section 4.18(a), all principal will be paid ratably as provided in Section 4.9(a).

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

(i) fees shall cease to accrue on the Available Commitments of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.8;

(ii) with respect to any L/C Participation Obligation, Refunded Swing Line Loan or Swing Line Participation Amount (collectively, “Participation Obligations”) of such Defaulting Lender that exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or thereafter:

(A) all or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s pro rata portion of all Participation Obligations under each Facility to which such Defaulting Lender is a Lender shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders under such Facility in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment under such Facility) but only to the extent that (x) the sum of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Available Commitments under such Facility is greater than zero and (y) each such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Available Commitment under such Facility is greater than zero;

(B) if the reallocation described in clause (ii)(A) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, then the Borrower shall within three (3) Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower (1) Cash (100%) Collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s portion of the Letters of Credit under the applicable Facility (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (ii)(A) above) for so long as such Letters of Credit are outstanding and (2) after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (ii)(A) above, if such Defaulting Lender is a Working Capital Facility Lender, repay the non-reallocated amount of each Swing Line Loan for so long as such Refunded Swing Line Loan and Swing Line Participation Amount are outstanding;

(C) if the Participation Obligations of the Non-Defaulting Lenders under the relevant Facility are reallocated pursuant to clause (ii)(A) above or Cash (100%) Collateralized or repaid pursuant to clause (ii)(B), then the fees payable to the Lenders under such Facility pursuant to Section 2.8 shall be adjusted or reduced, as applicable, in accordance with such Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitment Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment under such Facility); and

(D) if any Defaulting Lender’s portion of the Participation Obligations under any Facility is neither Cash (100%) Collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to this Section 4.18(b)(ii), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies hereunder of the Lenders and Issuing Lenders under such Facility and, in the case of the Working Capital Facility, the Swing Line Lender, all commitment and commission fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment under such Facility that was utilized by the Participation Obligations under such Facility) and letter of credit fees payable under Section 3.5(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s portion of the Letters of Credit under such Facility shall be payable to the Issuing Lenders under such Facility and, in the case of the Working Capital Facility, the Swing Line Lender, until such Participation Obligations are Cash (100%) Collateralized, reallocated and/or repaid in full.

(c) So long as any Lender under any Facility is a Defaulting Lender, (i) no Issuing Lender under such Facility shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit under such Facility, unless it is satisfied that the exposure of the L/C Participants in respect of such Letter of Credit will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders under such Facility and/or

cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 4.18(b), and participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders under such Facility in a manner consistent with Section 3.6 (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein), and (ii) if the Defaulting Lender is a Working Capital Facility Lender, the Swing Line Lender shall not be required to advance any Swing Line Loan, unless it is satisfied that the remaining Working Capital Facility Lenders’ exposure in respect of such Swing Line Loan will be 100% covered by the Working Capital Facility Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders under the Working Capital Facility.

(d) So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall not be a Qualified Counterparty with respect to any Commodity OTC Agreements or Financial Hedging Agreements, or a Qualified Cash Management Bank with respect to a Cash Management Bank Agreement, entered into while such Lender is a Defaulting Lender.

(e) In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and each Issuing Lender under a Facility in which a Defaulting Lender is a Lender, and, in the case of the Working Capital Facility, the Swing Line Lender, each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Participation Obligations under such Facility shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment under such Facility, and on such date each Lender under such Facility shall purchase at par such of the Loans, funded Participation Obligations and Commitments under such Facility as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans, funded Participation Obligations and Commitments in accordance with its Commitment Percentage with respect to such Facility.

5.8 Ownership of Property; Liens. Except for matters disclosed on the title reports and surveys, including minor defects in title that do not interfere with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such properties and assets for their intended purposes and except where the failure to have such title could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, each Loan Party has defensible title in fee simple to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its real property, and good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its tangible personal property, and none of such property is subject to any Lien except as permitted by Section 8.3.

5.9 Intellectual Property.

5.12 Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loan or Letter of Credit will be used for “purchasing” or “carrying” any “margin stock” within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation U, or for any purpose which violates, or which would be inconsistent with, the provisions of the regulations of the Board. If requested by any Lender or the Administrative Agent, the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender a statement to the foregoing effect in conformity with the requirements of FR Form G-3 or FR Form U-1 referred to in said Regulation U.

5.13 ERISA. Neither a Reportable Event nor a failure to satisfy the minimum funding requirements of Section 412 or 430 of the Code has occurred during the six-year period prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made or is reasonably expected to occur with respect to any Single Employer Plan, no Plan is reasonably expected to be in “at risk” status within the meaning of Section 430 of the Code and each Plan (including, to the knowledge of the Loan Parties, a Multiemployer Plan or a multiemployer welfare plan maintained pursuant to a collective bargaining agreement) has complied in all respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and the constituent documents of such Plan, except for instances of non-compliance that, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No termination of a Single Employer Plan has occurred during such six-year period or is reasonably expected to occur (other than a termination described in Section 4041(b) of ERISA), and no Lien in favor of the PBGC or a Plan has arisen during such six-year period or is reasonably expected to arise. Except to the extent that any such excess could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the present value of all accrued benefits under each Single Employer Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such Plans) did not, as of the last annual valuation date prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, exceed the value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such accrued benefits. Except to the extent that such liability could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (i) neither the Loan Parties nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has had a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan, and (ii) the

Loan Parties would not become subject to any liability under ERISA if a Loan Party or any Commonly Controlled Entity were to withdraw completely from all Multiemployer Plans as of the valuation date most closely preceding the date on which this representation is made or deemed made. To the knowledge of the Loan Parties, no such Multiemployer Plan is in Reorganization, Insolvent or terminating or is reasonably expected to be in Reorganization, become Insolvent or be terminated or is, or is reasonably expected to be in endangered, seriously endangered or critical status, in each case within the meaning of Section 432 of the Code. Except to the extent that any such excess could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the present value (determined using actuarial and other assumptions which are reasonable in respect of the benefits provided and the employees participating) of the aggregate liabilities of the Loan Parties and each Commonly Controlled Entity for the provision of post-retirement benefits to their current and former employees under Plans which are welfare benefit plans (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) do not, in the aggregate, exceed the total assets under all such Plans allocable to such benefits except as disclosed in the financial statements of the Loan Parties. Neither the Loan Parties nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has engaged in a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code in connection with any Plan that would subject any Loan Party to liability under ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 10

THE AGENTS

10.1 Appointment. (a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Agents as the agents of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes each Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to such Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, no Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against any Agent.

(b) Each Qualified Counterparty and each Qualified Cash Management Bank, pursuant to the terms of the applicable Hedging Agreement Qualification Notification and/or by accepting the grant by the Loan Parties of the security interest in the Collateral pursuant to the Security Documents, hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Agents as the agents of such Qualified Counterparty or Qualified Cash Management Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Qualified Counterparty and Qualified Cash Management Bank irrevocably authorizes each Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to such Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

10.2 Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

124

10.3 Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact, Subsidiaries or Affiliates (each, an “Agent-Related Person”) shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except for its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by such Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including in any audit prepared by the Administrative Agent’s internal auditor pursuant to Section 6.1(l)) or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Agents 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 other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party.

10.4 Reliance by Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any Note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower or any other Loan Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent with reasonable care. The Agents may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with such Agent. Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or such greater percentage of Lenders as shall be required therefor under Section 11.1) as it deems appropriate or as otherwise required by Section 11.1 or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or such greater percentage of Lenders as shall be required therefor under Section 11.1) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans and all other Obligations.

10.5 Notice of Default. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless such Agent has received notice from a Lender, or the Borrower or any other Loan Party referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Agents shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders; provided that unless and until an Agent shall have received such directions, such Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

10.6 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that none of the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact, Subsidiaries or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower or any Loan Party or any audit performed by the Administrative Agent’s internal auditor pursuant to Section 6.1(l), shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents

125

to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties and made its own decision to extend credit to the Borrower hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and other Loan Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent or the Co-Collateral Agents hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower or any other Loan Party which may come into the possession of such Agent or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact, Subsidiaries or Affiliates. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Agent shall have any duty to monitor the Collateral used to calculate the Borrowing Base or the reporting requirements or the contents of reports delivered by the Borrower. Each Lender assumes the responsibility of keeping itself informed at all times.

10.7 Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent and each other Agent-Related Person on an after-Tax basis in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Commitment Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including at any time following the payment of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations and the cash collateralization of the L/C Obligations) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent or such Agent-Related Person in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from such Agent’s or such Agent-Related Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section 10.7 shall survive the payment of the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and all amounts payable hereunder and the cash collateralization of the L/C Obligations.

10.8 Agents in Their Individual Capacity. Each Agent and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates may make loans and other extensions of credit to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower and the other Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries and Affiliates as though such Agent were not an Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. With respect to the Loans and other extensions of credit made by it hereunder, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.

10.9 Successor Agents. (a) The Administrative Agent may resign as the Administrative Agent upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Co-Collateral Agents, the Borrower and the Lenders. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders (unless no

126

Lender is willing to act as the Administrative Agent, in which case the Administrative Agent may be any Person approved by the Required Lenders) a successor Administrative Agent for the Lenders, which successor Administrative Agent shall be approved by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and shall not be required during the continuance of an Event of Default), whereupon such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor Administrative Agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans or other Obligations. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 10 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. If no successor Administrative Agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of such Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.

(b) Either or both Co-Collateral Agents may resign as a Co-Collateral Agent upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, the other Co-Collateral Agent (if any), the Borrower and the Lenders. Upon any such resignation, the remaining Co-Collateral Agent (the “Sole Remaining Co-Collateral Agent”) shall perform all of the functions of the Co-Collateral Agents and the retiring Co-Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. If both Co-Collateral Agents shall resign substantially simultaneously or the Sole Remaining Co-Collateral Agent shall resign, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders (unless no Lender is willing to act as a Co-Collateral Agent, in which case the Co-Collateral Agent may be any Person approved by the Required Lenders) a successor Co-Collateral Agent for the Lenders, who shall be the sole successor Co-Collateral Agent hereunder (the “Sole Successor Co-Collateral Agent”) and which Sole Successor Co-Collateral Agent shall be approved by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and shall not be required during the continuance of an Event of Default), whereupon such Sole Successor Co-Collateral Agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Co-Collateral Agents and the term “Co-Collateral Agents” shall mean such Sole Successor Co-Collateral Agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Co-Collateral Agents’ rights, powers and duties as Co-Collateral Agents shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Co-Collateral Agents or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans or other Obligations. After any retiring Co-Collateral Agent’s resignation as Co-Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Section 10 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Co-Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. If no successor Co-Collateral Agent has accepted appointment as Co-Collateral Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following a retiring Sole Remaining Co-Collateral Agent’s notice of resignation or the substantially simultaneous retiring of both Co-Collateral Agents, the resignation of the retiring Co-Collateral Agent(s) shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of such Co-Collateral Agent(s) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.

10.10 Collateral Matters. (a) The Administrative Agent is authorized on behalf of all of the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from the Lenders, from time to time to take any action with respect to any Collateral or the Loan Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the security interest in and Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.

127

(b) The Lenders, and each Qualified Counterparty and each Qualified Cash Management Bank (pursuant to the terms of the applicable Hedging Agreement Qualification Notification and/or by accepting the grant by the Loan Parties of the security interest in the Collateral pursuant to the Security Documents), irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the Administrative Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of the Commitments, and payment in full of all Loans and all other Obligations known to the Administrative Agent and payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made and of which no Responsible Person of any Loan Party has knowledge or any obligations owed under a Commodity OTC Agreement with a Qualified Counterparty, any Financial Hedging Agreement with a Qualified Counterparty or any Cash Management Bank Agreement with a Qualified Cash Management Bank); (ii) constituting property sold or to be sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale, transfer or other disposition permitted hereunder; (iii) constituting property in which the Loan Parties owned no interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; (iv) constituting property leased to any Loan Party under a lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement or is about to expire and which has not been, and is not intended by a Loan Party to be, renewed or extended; (v) consisting of an instrument evidencing Indebtedness or other debt instrument, if the indebtedness evidenced thereby has been paid in full; or (vi) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the portion of the Lenders required by Section 11.1. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 10.10; provided that the absence of any such confirmation for whatever reason shall not affect the Administrative Agent’s rights under this Section 10.10.

(c) The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys in fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys in fact selected by it with reasonable care.

10.11 The Co-Collateral Agents; Co-Documentation Agents and the Co-Syndication Agents. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, all determinations of the Co-Collateral Agents under the Loan Documents shall be made jointly by the Co-Collateral Agents, provided that, in the event that the Co-Collateral Agents cannot agree on any matter to be determined by the Co-Collateral Agents, the determination shall be made by the individual Co-Collateral Agent asserting, in its discretion exercised in good faith, the more conservative credit judgment or declining to permit the requested action for which consent is being sought by the applicable Loan Party. This provision shall be binding upon any successor to a Co-Collateral Agent.

(b) None of any Co-Documentation Agent or any Co-Syndication Agent, in their respective capacities as such, shall have any duties or responsibilities, nor shall any such Person in such capacity incur any liability under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive or consent to any departure from, prospectively, concurrently or retrospectively, on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver or consent and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall:

(i) reduce the amount or extend the scheduled date of maturity of any Loan or payment Obligation hereunder or any installment thereof (other than any such Obligation to pay any interest or letter of credit commission at the rate set forth in Section 4.2(c)), or extend the due date for any Reimbursement Obligation, or reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder (other than the rates of interest or fees set forth in Section 4.2(c)) or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any Lender’s Commitment, in each case without the additional written consent of each Lender affected thereby, or

(ii) increase any percentage in the definition of “Borrowing Base” or otherwise amend or modify the definition of “Borrowing Base” or any direct or indirect component definition thereof that has the effect of increasing the Borrowing Base Availability, in each case without the written consent of the Supermajority Lenders; or

(iii) amend or modify the definition of “Eligible Commodities” or any component definition thereof that has the effect of adding commodities thereto without the written consent of the Supermajority Lenders; or

(iv) consent to any changes to the Risk Management Policy which are materially adverse to the Lenders without the written consent of the Supermajority Lenders;

(v) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 11.1 or change the percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders or Supermajority Lenders, or consent to the assignment or transfer by any Loan Party of any of their rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, in each case without the written consent of all of the Lenders, or

(vi) consent to the release by the Administrative Agent of all or substantially all of the Collateral or release any guarantor from its Guarantee Obligations under the Guarantee or provide for the Collateral or the Guarantee to no longer secure or guarantee all Obligations ratably, without the written consent of all of the Lenders, except to the extent such release is permitted or required under this Agreement, or

(vii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 4.7(d) or (e), Section 4.9(a) or (b) or Section 11.8, or Section 8(b) of the Security Agreement, without the written consent of all the Lenders affected thereby, or

(viii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 10, or any other provision affecting the rights, duties or obligations of any Agent, without the written consent of any Agent directly affected thereby, or

(ix) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 3, or any provision of Section 11.7(c) affecting the right of the Issuing Lenders to consent to certain assignments thereunder, without the written consent of the Issuing Lenders or any other provision affecting the rights, duties or obligations of any Issuing Lenders, without the additional written consent of any Issuing Lender directly affected thereby.

129

Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Agents and all future holders of the Loans and other Obligations. In the case of any waiver, the Loan Parties, the Lenders and the Agents shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Borrower, may amend, modify or supplement any Loan Document without the consent of any Lender or the Required Lenders in order to correct, amend or cure any ambiguity, inconsistency or defect or correct any typographical error or other manifest error in any Loan Document.

In no event shall any Agent or any other Agent-Related Person have any liability to any Loan Party, any Lender or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s or any Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials through the internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent-Related Person; provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent-Related Person have any liability to any Loan Party, any Lender or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages). Certain of the Lenders (each, a “Public Lender”) may have personnel who do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrower, the Guarantors or their respective Affiliates, or the respective securities of any of the foregoing, and who may be engaged in investment and other market-related activities with respect to such Persons’ securities. Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws, to make reference to Borrower Materials that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to any Loan Party or its securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws.

(d) Reliance by Agents and Lenders. The Agents and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic notices) purportedly and in good faith believed to be given by or on behalf of the Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Borrower shall indemnify each Agent and each Lender from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly and believed in good faith to be given by or on behalf of the Borrower. All telephonic notices to and other communications with any Agent may be recorded by such Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

131

11.3 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of any Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein and in the other Loan Documents provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Law.

11.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made herein, in the other Loan Documents and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder.

11.5 Release of Collateral and Guarantee Obligations. (a) Upon any sale or other transfer of any Collateral that is permitted under the Loan Documents by any Loan Party or a sale of all of the assets of, or all of the Capital Stock of, a Subsidiary in a transaction that is permitted under the Loan Documents (other than a sale, transfer or other disposition to another Loan Party), or upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security interest granted hereby in any Collateral pursuant to Section 10.10 hereof, the security interest in such Collateral shall automatically terminate and Administrative Agent shall execute and a deliver a termination or satisfaction of any Mortgage and Security Agreement affecting such Collateral, in proper form for recording.

(b) Upon any sale or other transfer of all of the Capital Stock of any Loan Party that is permitted or consented to under the Loan Documents (other than a sale or transfer to another Loan Party), the Guarantee of such Loan Party shall automatically be released and terminated.

(c) Upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of the Loans and all other Obligations payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made and of which no Responsible Person of any Loan Party has knowledge) and the termination or expiration of all Letters of Credit, the pledge and security interest granted pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall automatically terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the applicable Loan Party. Upon any such termination or pursuant to any termination or release as described in Section 11.5(a), the Administrative Agent will, at the applicable Loan Party’s expense, execute and deliver to such Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

11.6 Payment of Costs and Expenses. The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse each Agent and the Lead Arranger for all its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the syndication of the Facilities and the development, preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of one firm of counsel to the Agents and the Lead Arranger, one regulatory counsel to the Agents and the Lead Arranger and a single firm of local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction, (b) to pay or reimburse each Lender, the Swing Line Lender, each Issuing Lender, each Agent and the Lead Arranger, for all its documented costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including the documented fees and disbursements of counsel to each Lender, the Lead Arranger, the Swing Line Lender and each Issuing Lender and of counsel to the Agents, (c) to pay or reimburse the Agents and the Lead Arranger for their documented costs and expenses incurred in connection with inspections performed pursuant to Section 7.9

132

The agreements in this Section 11.6 shall survive repayment of the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and all other amounts payable hereunder.

11.7 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Lenders, the Agents and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any purported such assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent of each Lender shall be null and void).

(b) Any Lender may, in accordance with applicable Law, at any time sell to one or more banks, financial institutions or other entities (other than the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates) (individually, a “Participant” and, collectively, the “Participants”) (so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, only to a Person other than an Ineligible Participant) participating interests in any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation owing to such Lender, any Commitment

133

of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (a “Participation”). In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Loan, Reimbursement Obligation or other interest for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Borrower and the Agents shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, except with respect to Section 4.10 and 4.11, under which the Participant has certain rights with respect thereto. In no event shall any Participant under any such Participation have any right to approve any amendment to or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or the stated rate of interest on, the Loans, Reimbursement Obligation or any fees payable hereunder, or postpone the date of the final maturity of the Loans or Reimbursement Obligations, in each case to the extent subject to such Participation (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower may exercise any rights granted to it in Section 4.17 with respect to the Lender that sold a Participation to such Participant to the extent that the direction by such Participant to such Lender to not consent to any such amendment would cause the applicable Lender to be subject to the provisions of Section 4.17). The Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due or unpaid during an Event of Default, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement; provided that in purchasing such participating interest, such Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to share with the Lenders the proceeds thereof as provided in Section 11.8(a) as fully as if it were a Lender hereunder. The Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of, and be bound by the obligations imposed on the Lenders in, Sections 4.10, 4.11 and 4.14 with respect to its Participation in the Commitments and the Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder outstanding from time to time as if it were a Lender; provided, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater payments under Sections 4.10, 4.11 and 4.14, with respect to its participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation and the Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 4.17, as if it were an assignee under paragraph (c) of this Section. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 4.17 with respect to any Participant. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

134

(c) Any Lender may, in accordance with applicable Law, at any time and from time to time assign to any Lender or any Subsidiary, Affiliate or Approved Fund thereof, or, with the consent of the Administrative Agent, and, in the case of an assignment of the Acquisition Facility Commitments, the Acquisition Facility Issuing Lenders, and, in the case of an assignment of the Working Capital Facility Commitment, the Working Capital Facility Issuing Lenders and the Swing Line Lender, and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to any other Person (other than the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates) (the “Assignee”), all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance, substantially in the form of Exhibit F, appropriately completed (an “Assignment and Acceptance”), executed by such Assignee, such assigning Lender (and, in the case of an Assignee that is not then a Lender or any Subsidiary, Affiliate or Approved Fund thereof, by the Administrative Agent, and, in the case of an assignment of the Acquisition Facility Commitments, the Acquisition Facility Issuing Lenders, and, in the case of an Assignment of the Working Capital Facility Commitment, the Working Capital Facility Issuing Lenders and the Swing Line Lender, and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Borrower is not deemed to consent to such assignment, the Borrower) and attaching the Assignee’s relevant tax forms, administrative details and wiring instructions, and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register; provided that (i) each such assignment to an Assignee (other than any Lender) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (other than in the case of (A) an assignment of all of a Lender’s interests under this Agreement or (B) an assignment to another Lender, a Subsidiary, an Affiliate or an Approved Fund of such assigning Lender), unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower (such amount to be aggregated in respect of assignments by to any Lender and the affiliates or Approved Funds thereof), (ii) in the case of an assignment by a Lender to a Bank CLO managed by such Lender or an affiliate of such Lender, unless such assignment to such Bank CLO has been consented to by the Administrative Agent, and in the case of an assignment of the Acquisition Facility Commitments, the Acquisition Facility Issuing Lenders, and, in the case of an Assignment of the Working Capital Facility Commitment, the Working Capital Facility Issuing Lenders, and the Swing Line Lender, and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Borrower is not deemed to consent to such assignment, the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the assigning Lender shall retain the sole right to approve any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that the Assignment and Acceptance between such Lender and such Bank CLO may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of such Bank CLO, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to Section 11.2, and (iii) each Assignee shall comply with the provisions of Section 4.11(e). Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with Commitments as set forth therein, and (y) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such assigning Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). Notwithstanding any provision of this paragraph (c) and paragraph (e) of this Section 11.7, (x) the consent of the Borrower shall not be required, and, unless requested by the Assignee and/or the assigning Lender, new Notes shall not be required to be executed and delivered by the Borrower, for any assignment which occurs at any time when any of the events described in Section 9.1(g) shall have occurred and be continuing and (y) the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any assignment that requires consent of the Borrower pursuant to the terms hereof unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 11.7 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a Participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 11.7(b).

135

(d) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Borrower, shall maintain at the address of the Administrative Agent referred to in Section 11.2 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders (including all Assignees and successors) and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans and other Obligations owing to, each Lender from time to time. The entries made in the Register shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded (absent manifest error), and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may (and, in the case of any Loan or other Obligation hereunder not evidenced by a Note, shall) treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Loan or other Obligation hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder made to the Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Any assignment of any Loan or other Obligation hereunder, whether or not evidenced by a Note, shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The parties intend for the Loans or other Obligations to be in registered form for tax purposes and this provision shall be construed in accordance with that intent.

(e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee (and, in the case of an Assignee that is not then a Lender (or any Subsidiary, Affiliate or Approved Fund thereof), by the Administrative Agent, and, in the case of an assignment of the Acquisition Facility Commitments, the Acquisition Facility Issuing Lenders, and, in the case of an assignment of the Working Capital Facility Commitment, the Working Capital Facility Issuing Lenders and the Swing Line Lender and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Borrower is not deemed to consent to such assignment, the Borrower), together with payment to the Administrative Agent by the assigning Lender of a registration and processing fee of $3,500, the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) on the effective date determined pursuant thereto record the information contained therein in the applicable Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Lenders and the Borrower.

(f) The Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Assignee (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee (so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, other than an Ineligible Participant) in each case, any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning the Borrower, the other Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries and Affiliates which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower or the other Loan Parties pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower or other Loan Parties in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of the Borrower, the other the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries or Affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Agreement; provided that such Transferee or prospective Transferee shall have agreed to be bound by the provisions of Section 11.16 hereof.

(g) For avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this Section 11.7 concerning assignments of Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder and Notes relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including (i) any pledge or assignment by a Lender of any Loan or Note to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable Law and (ii) any pledge or assignment by a Lender which is a fund to its trustee for the benefit of such trustee and/or its investors to secure its obligations under any indenture or Governing Documents to which it is a party; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

136

(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender may, with notice to, but without consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and in accordance with the definition of “Conduit Lender” set forth in Section 1.1 hereof and the terms of this Section 11.7(h), designate a Conduit Lender and fund any of the Loans or Unreimbursed Amounts which such Lender is obligated to make or pay hereunder by causing such Conduit Lender to fund such Loans or Unreimbursed Amounts on behalf of such Lender. Any Conduit Lender may assign any or all of the Loans or Unreimbursed Amounts it may have funded hereunder to its designating Lender without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent and without regard to the limitations set forth in Section 11.7(c). The Borrower, each Lender and each Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state bankruptcy or similar Law in connection with any obligation of such Conduit Lender under the Loan Documents, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans or Reimbursement Obligations to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such Conduit Lender to support the funding or maintenance of Loans or Reimbursement Obligations by such Conduit Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans and its Reimbursement Obligations to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such Conduit Lender. This clause (h) may not be amended without the written consent of any Conduit Lender directly affected thereby.

11.8 Adjustments; Set-off. (a) If any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Loans or Reimbursement Obligations with regards to either Facility, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 9.1(g), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender under such Facility, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Loans or Reimbursement Obligations under such Facility, or interest thereon, except to the extent specifically provided hereunder, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders under such Facility a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Loans or Reimbursement Obligations under such Facility, or shall provide such other Lenders 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 Lenders under such Facility; except that with respect to any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender by virtue of such Lender failing to fund its Commitment Percentage of any Loan or Participation Obligation, such Defaulting Lender’s pro rata share of the excess payment shall be allocated to the Lender (or the Lenders, pro rata) that funded such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment Percentage 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; provided further, that to the extent prohibited by applicable law as described in the definition of “Excluded Swap Obligation,” no amounts received from, or set off with respect to, any Guarantor shall be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Guarantor . The Borrower agrees that each Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lender’s Loans or Reimbursement Obligations may exercise all rights of payment (including rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Lender were the direct holder of such portion.

137

(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by Law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable Law, during the existence of an Event of Default, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower. Each Lender agrees to promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off or application.

11.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile transmission or electronic mail transmission in portable document format of signature pages hereto), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission or by electronic mail in portable document format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

11.10 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

11.11 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties relative to subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

11.12 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

11.13 Submission to Jurisdiction. Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof;

(b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

138

(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to the Loan Parties as the case may be, at their address set forth in Section 11.2 or at such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;

(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by Law or shall limit the right to xxx in any other jurisdiction; and

(e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by Law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

11.14 Acknowledgements. Each Loan Party hereby acknowledges that:

(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

(b) none of the Agents nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to the Loan Parties arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Borrower and the other Loan Parties, on one hand, and Agents and Lenders, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

(c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Lenders or among the Loan Parties and the Lenders.

11.15 Waivers of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

11.16 Confidentiality. (a) Each Lender Party shall use its best efforts to (i) keep confidential (and shall cause its directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents, professional advisors or auditors (collectively, “Representatives”) to keep confidential) all information that such Lender Party receives from or on behalf of the Loan Parties other than information that is identified by any of the Loan Parties as being non-confidential information (all such information that is not so identified being “Confidential Information”); provided that nothing in this Section 11.16 shall prevent any Lender Party from (A) disclosing, subject to the terms and requirements of this Section 11.16, such information to a Subsidiary or an Affiliate or its or their Representatives, (B) disclosing Confidential Information in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder, (C) using Confidential Information solely for purposes of evaluating and administering the Loans and the Loan Documents, (D) disclosing Confidential Information to a Participant, an Assignee or a potential Transferee, in each case in accordance with Section 11.7(f) or (E) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization and (ii) subject to Section 11.16(d), not disclose Confidential Information to Representatives of its Trading Business. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Confidential Information as provided in this Section 11.16 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

139

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 11.16 to the contrary, any Confidential Information may be disclosed by any Lender Party or any Representative (the affected Lender Party or Representative being the “Disclosing Party”) if the Disclosing Party is compelled by judicial process or is required by Law or regulation or is requested to do so by any examiner or any other regulatory authority or recognized self-regulatory organization including the New York Stock Exchange, the Federal Reserve Board, the New York State Banking Department and the Securities & Exchange Commission, in each case having or asserting jurisdiction over the Disclosing Party.

(c) The obligations of each Lender Party and its Representatives under this Section 11.16 with respect to Confidential Information shall not apply to (i) any Confidential Information which, as of the date of disclosure by such Lender Party or its Representatives, is in the public domain or subsequently comes into the public domain other than as a result of a breach of the obligations of such Lender Party or its Representatives hereunder, or (ii) any Confidential Information that was or becomes available to such Lender Party or its Representatives from a person or source that is or was not, to the knowledge of such Lender Party or its Representatives, bound by a confidentiality agreement with any Loan Party or otherwise prohibited from transferring such information to any other Person, or (iii) any Confidential Information which was or becomes available to such Lender Party or its Representatives without any obligation of confidentiality prior to its disclosure by or on behalf of the Loan Parties or (iv) any Confidential Information that was developed by such Lender Party or its Representative without the use of information provided by any Loan Party.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Lender Party may disclose Confidential Information to those Representatives of its Trading Business, solely to the extent (i) such disclosure is (A) advisable, in the good faith discretion of such Lender Party, to assist such Lender Party in protecting and enforcing its rights under any Loan Document and other credit facilities which such Lender Party or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates has with the applicable Loan Party (or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates) and (B) relevant to such assistance, (ii) such Representatives have been advised of, and agree to, the confidential nature, and restrictions on use, of such Confidential Information and need to know same in connection with providing such assistance, and (iii) such Confidential Information is not used for any purpose other than that set forth in this Section 11.16.

(e) Each of the Lender Parties acknowledges that (a) the Confidential Information may include material non-public information concerning the Loan Parties and their related parties or their respective securities, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws.

11.17 Specified Laws. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Specified Laws, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Loan Parties, which information includes the names and addresses of the Loan Parties and other information that will allow such Lender or Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Loan Parties in accordance with the Specified Laws.

11.18 [Reserved].

11.19 Additional Borrowers. At any time and from time-to-time after the Closing Date, the Borrower may request that any of its Subsidiaries become a borrower under this Agreement (each Subsidiary which becomes a borrower pursuant to the terms of this Section 11.19, an “Additional Borrower”). Such Subsidiary shall become an Additional Borrower with effect on and from the date on which the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that each of the following has been satisfied (which date shall be within ten (10) Business Days after each Lender has received the documents referred to in Section 11.19(e):

140

(a) the Administrative Agent receives a duly completed and executed Joinder Agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit U;

(b) each Lender has approved of such Additional Borrower;

(c) the Borrower confirms that no Default or Event of Default is continuing or would occur as a result of that Subsidiary becoming an Additional Borrower and each of the representations and warranties relating to the Additional Borrower and the Loan Parties (other than the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 5.1, 5.4, 5.6, 5.7, 5.17 and 5.20) is true and not misleading in any material respect (except that any representation and warranty that is qualified by “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect” shall be true and correct in all respects as so qualified) as if made on date of accession of Additional Borrower;

(d) the Subsidiary is incorporated, organized or formed in the United States of America or another jurisdiction approved by the Supermajority Lenders;

(e) the Administrative Agent has received all of the documents and other evidence referred to in Section 6.1(b) and Sections 6.1(d) through 6.1(g) in relation to that Additional Borrower together with a legal opinion in respect of the Additional Borrower from a law firm qualified to issue legal opinions with respect to the jurisdiction of incorporation, organization or formation, each in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent;

(f) the Administrative Agent shall have received the results of a recent search by a Person reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, of the Uniform Commercial Code (if relevant), judgment and tax Lien filings, and all customary searches for financing transactions of this nature in all applicable jurisdictions, which may have been filed with respect to personal property of such Additional Borrower, and the results of such search shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent;

(g) the Co-Collateral Agents and each Lender shall have received copies of a collateral and risk management review (the “Additional Borrower Collateral Risk Review”), in form and substance satisfactory to the Co-Collateral Agents, of all of the assets of such Additional Borrower that would comprise each asset category set forth in the definition of “Borrowing Base”, prepared by Co-Collateral Agents’ internal or external collateral and risk manager; provided, however, that (i) the Additional Borrower Collateral Risk Review shall be completed (or in the event it is not completed, be deemed completed) by a date no later than the date twenty-one (21) calendar days following the Borrower’s request that a Subsidiary become an Additional Borrower, which such request may not be made more than sixty (60) calendar days prior to the date such Subsidiary shall become an Additional Borrower and (ii) prior to the completion of the Additional Borrower Collateral Risk Review, the Co-Collateral Agents may, in their sole discretion, count the assets of such Additional Borrower in the calculation of the Borrowing Base;

141

(j) such Additional Borrower becomes a Grantor; and

(k) such Additional Borrower appoints the Borrower to act on its behalf as the agent for such Additional Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Borrower to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Borrower by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, and the Borrower accepts such appointment (which appointment shall not be terminated or revoked without the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders).

The Agents, the Borrower and any Additional Borrowers shall be permitted to amend this Agreement and the other Loan Documents solely as necessary or advisable to permit the Additional Borrower to borrow hereunder and as otherwise required or advisable in connection therewith.

11.20 Joint and Several Liability. Upon entry into this Agreement by an Additional Borrower, all Loans, upon funding, shall be deemed to be jointly funded to and received by the Borrower Parties. Each Borrower Party jointly and severally agrees to pay, and shall be jointly and severally liable under this Agreement for, all Obligations, regardless of the manner or amount in which proceeds of Loans are used, allocated, shared, or disbursed by or among the Borrower Parties themselves, or the manner in which an Agent and/or any Lender accounts for such Loans or other extensions of credit on its books and records. Each Borrower Party shall be liable for all amounts due to an Agent and/or any Lender under this Agreement, regardless of which Borrower Party actually receives Loans or other Extensions of Credit hereunder or the amount of such Loans and Extensions of Credit received or the manner in which such Agent and/or such Lender accounts for such Loans or other Extensions of Credit on its books and records. Each Borrower Party’s Obligations with respect to Loans and other Extensions of Credit made to it, and such Borrower Party’s Obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of such Borrower Party hereunder, with respect to Loans and other Extensions of Credit made to the other Borrower Parties hereunder, shall be separate and distinct obligations, but all such Obligations shall be primary obligations of such Borrower Party. The Borrower Parties acknowledge and expressly agree with the Agents and each Lender that the joint and several liability of each Borrower Party is required solely as a condition to, and is given solely as inducement for and in consideration of, credit or accommodations extended or to be extended under the Loan Documents to any or all of the other Borrower Parties and is not required or given as a condition of Extensions of Credit to such Borrower Party. Each Borrower Party’s obligations under this Agreement shall be separate and distinct obligations. Each Borrower Party’s obligations under this Agreement shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, be unconditional irrespective of (i) the validity or enforceability, avoidance, or subordination of the Obligations of any other Borrower Party or of any Note or other document evidencing all or any part of the Obligations of any other Borrower Party, (ii) the absence of any attempt to collect the Obligations from any other Borrower Party, any Guarantor, or any other security therefor, or the absence of any other action to enforce the same, (iii) the waiver, consent, extension, forbearance, or granting of any indulgence by an Agent and/or any Lender with respect to any provision of any instrument evidencing the Obligations of any other Borrower Party or any Guarantor, or any part thereof, or any other agreement now or hereafter executed by any other Borrower Party or any Guarantor and delivered to an Agent and/or any Lender, (iv) the failure by an Agent and/or any Lender to take any steps to perfect and maintain its security interest in, or to preserve its rights to, any security or collateral for the Obligations of any other Borrower Party or any Guarantor, (v) an Agent’s and/or any Lender’s election, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, (vi) any borrowing or grant of a security interest by any other Borrower Party, as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code, (vii) the disallowance of all or any portion of an Agent’s and/or any Lender’s claim(s) for the repayment of the Obligations of any other Borrower Party under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, or (viii) any other circumstances which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor or of any

142

other Borrower Party. With respect to any Borrower Party’s Obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of the Borrower Parties hereunder with respect to Loans or other Extensions of Credit made to any of the other Borrower Parties hereunder, such Borrower Party waives, until the Obligations shall have been paid in full and this Agreement shall have been terminated, any right to enforce any right of subrogation or any remedy which an Agent and/or any Lender now has or may hereafter have against any other Borrower Party, 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 an Agent and/or any Lender to secure payment of the Obligations or any other liability of any Borrower Party to an Agent and/or any Lender. Upon any Event of Default, the Agents may proceed directly and at once, without notice, against any Borrower Party to collect and recover the full amount, or any portion of the Obligations, without first proceeding against any other Borrower Party or any other Person, or against any security or collateral for the Obligations. Each Borrower Party consents and agrees that the Agents shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Borrower Party or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. Each Borrower Party further acknowledges that credit extended to each Borrower Party hereunder will directly or indirectly benefit each other Borrower Party.

11.21 Contribution and Indemnification among the Borrower; Subordination. Each Borrower Party is obligated to repay the Obligations as joint and several obligor under this Agreement. To the extent that any Borrower Party shall, under this Agreement as a joint and several obligor, repay any of the Obligations constituting Loans made to another Borrower Party hereunder or other Obligations incurred directly and primarily by any other Borrower Party (an “Accommodation Payment”), then the Borrower Party making such Accommodation Payment shall be entitled to contribution and indemnification from, and be reimbursed by, each of the other Borrower Parties in an amount, for each of such other Borrower Parties, equal to a fraction of such Accommodation Payment, the numerator of which fraction is such other Borrower Party’s Allocable Amount (as defined below) and the denominator of which is the sum of the Allocable Amounts of all of the Borrower Parties. As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of each Borrower Party shall be equal to the maximum amount of liability for Accommodation Payments which could be asserted against such Borrower Party hereunder without (a) rendering such Borrower Party “insolvent” within the meaning of Section 101(31) of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act (“UFTA”) or Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act (“UFCA”), (b) leaving such Borrower Party with unreasonably small capital or assets, within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 4 of the UFTA, or Section 5 of the UFCA, or (c) leaving such Borrower Party unable to pay its debts as they become due within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or Section 4 of the UFTA, or Section 5 of the UFCA. All rights and claims of contribution, indemnification, and reimbursement under this Section 11.21 shall be subordinate in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the Obligations. The provisions of this Section 11.21 shall, to the extent expressly inconsistent with any provision in any Loan Document, supersede such inconsistent provision.

11.22 Express Waivers by Borrower Parties in Respect of Cross Guaranties and Cross Collateralization. Each Borrower Party agrees as follows:

(a) Each Borrower Party hereby waives: (i) notice of acceptance of this Agreement; (ii) notice of the making of any Loans, the issuance of any Letter of Credit or any other financial accommodations made or extended under the Loan Documents or the creation or existence of any Obligations; (iii) notice of the amount of the Obligations, subject, however, to such Borrower Party’s right to make inquiry of the Administrative Agent to ascertain the amount of the Obligations at any reasonable time; (iv) notice of any adverse change in the financial condition of any other Borrower Party or of any other fact that might increase such Borrower Party’s risk with respect to such other Borrower Party under the Loan Documents; (v) notice of presentment for payment, demand, protest, and notice thereof as to any promissory notes or other instruments among the Loan Documents; and (vi) all other notices (except if such notice is specifically required to be given to such Borrower Party hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents to which such Borrower Party is a party) and demands to which such Borrower Party might otherwise be entitled.

143

(b) Each Borrower Party hereby waives the right by statute or otherwise to require an Agent or any other Secured Party to institute suit against any other Borrower Party or to exhaust any rights and remedies which an Agent or any other Secured Party has or may have against any other Borrower Party. Each Borrower Party further waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any other Borrower Party (other than the defense that the Obligations shall have been fully and finally performed and paid) or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of any such Borrower Party in respect thereof.

(c) Each Borrower Party hereby waives and agrees not to assert against an Agent or any Lender: (i) any defense (legal or equitable), set-off, counterclaim, or claim which such Borrower Party may now or at any time hereafter have against any other Borrower Party or any other party liable under the Loan Documents; (ii) any defense, set-off, counterclaim, or claim of any kind or nature available to any other Borrower Party against an Agent or any Lender, arising directly or indirectly from the present or future lack of perfection, sufficiency, validity, or enforceability of the Obligations or any security therefor; (iii) any right or defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by an Agent or any Lender under any applicable law; and (iv) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting any other Borrower Party’s liability hereunder.

(d) Each Borrower Party consents and agrees that, without notice to or by such Borrower Party and without affecting or impairing the obligations of such Borrower Party hereunder, the Agents may (subject to any requirement for consent of any of the Lenders to the extent required by this Agreement), by action or inaction: (i) compromise, settle, extend the duration or the time for the payment of, or discharge the performance of, or may refuse to or otherwise not enforce the Loan Documents; (ii) release all or any one or more parties to any one or more of the Loan Documents or grant other indulgences to any other Borrower Party in respect thereof; (iii) amend or modify in any manner and at any time (or from time to time) any of the Loan Documents; or (iv) release or substitute any Person liable for payment of the Obligations, or enforce, exchange, release, or waive any security for the Obligations or any Guarantee of the Obligations.

(e) Each Borrower Party represents and warrants to the Agents and the Lenders that, as of the date of entry of any Additional Borrower into this Agreement, such Borrower Party is currently informed of the financial condition of all other Borrower Parties and all other circumstances which a diligent inquiry would reveal and which bear upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations. Each Borrower Party further represents and warrants that, as of the date of entry of such Borrower Party into this Agreement, such Borrower Party has read and understands the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents. Each Borrower Party agrees that none of the Agents or any Lender has any responsibility to inform any Borrower Party of the financial condition of any other Borrower Party or of any other circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment or nonperformance of the Obligations.

11.23 Limitation on Obligations of Borrower Parties. In the event that in any action or proceeding involving any state or foreign corporate law, or any state, Federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other Law affecting the rights of creditors generally, the obligations of any Borrower Party, including for the obligations of any other Borrower Party, under this Agreement shall be held or determined to be void, avoidable, invalid or unenforceable (including because of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable state or Federal Law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers), then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the amount of such liability of a Borrower Party shall, without any further action by any Loan Party, Agent or Lender,

144

be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable (such highest amount determined hereunder being the relevant Borrower’s “Maximum Liability”); provided that nothing contained in this Section 11.23 shall limit the liability of any Borrower Party to repay Loans made directly or indirectly to or for the benefit of that Borrower Party or any Subsidiary of that Borrower Party (including Loans advanced to any other Borrower Party and then re-loaned or otherwise transferred to, or for the benefit of, such Borrower Party or any of its Subsidiaries), Obligations relating to Letters of Credit issued for the direct or indirect benefit of such Borrower Party or any of its Subsidiaries, and all interest, fees, expenses and other related Obligations under the Loan Documents with respect thereto, for which such Borrower Party shall be primarily liable for all purposes hereunder. This Section 11.23 with respect to the Maximum Liability of each Borrower Party is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Agents and the Lenders to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable Law, and no Loan Party nor any other person or entity shall have any right or claim under this Section 11.23 with respect to such Maximum Liability, except to the extent necessary so that the obligations of any Borrower Party hereunder shall not be rendered void, voidable, invalid or unenforceable under applicable Law.

Each Grantor shall notify Account Debtors on the Receivables that the Receivables have been collaterally assigned to the Administrative Agent on behalf and for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties.

(b) Analysis of Receivables. The Co-Collateral Agents shall have the right to make test verifications of the Receivables in any manner and through any medium that they reasonably consider advisable at any time during an Event of Default or in the course of any audit pursuant to Section 7.9 of the Credit Agreement, in consultation with the Borrower, and each Grantor shall furnish all such assistance and information as the Co-Collateral Agents may require in connection therewith. At any time during an Event of Default or in the course of any audit pursuant to Section 7.9 of the Credit Agreement, in consultation with the Borrower, upon the Co-Collateral Agents’ request and at the expense of the

-6-

relevant Grantor, such Grantor shall cause independent public accountants or others satisfactory to the Administrative Agent to furnish to the Administrative Agent reports showing reconciliations, aging and test verifications of, and trial balances for, the Receivables.

(c) Collections on Receivables. The Grantors shall instruct and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Account Debtor on each Receivable to remit all amounts owing in respect of such Receivable to a Cash Management Account. Any amounts in respect of any Receivable collected by any Grantor, (i) shall be promptly deposited by such Grantor in the exact form received, duly endorsed by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent if required, in a Cash Management Account, and (ii) until so turned over, shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor. All Proceeds constituting collections of Receivables while held by the Administrative Agent (or by any Grantor in trust for the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties) shall continue to be collateral security for all of the Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as hereinafter provided. At the Administrative Agent’s reasonable request, each Grantor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent all original and other documents evidencing, and relating to, the agreements and transactions which gave rise to such Grantor’s Receivables, including, without limitation, all original orders, invoices and shipping receipts.

4. Representations and Warranties. Each Grantor hereby represents and warrants as of the Closing Date and each Borrowing Date that:

(a) Title; No Other Liens. Except for the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent on behalf and for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to this Security Agreement and the other Permitted Liens, such Grantor owns each item of the Collateral pledged by it free and clear of any and all Liens or claims of others. No security agreement, financing statement or other public notice with respect to all or any part of the Collateral is on file or of record in any public office, except such as may have been filed in favor of the Administrative Agent, on behalf and for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, pursuant to this Security Agreement or as may be filed to secure a Permitted Lien.

(b) Perfected First Priority Liens. Upon the filing of UCC-1 financing statements in the applicable jurisdictions and, with respect to each Pledged Account, upon the execution and delivery of an Account Control Agreement with respect to such Pledged Account, the Liens granted pursuant to this Security Agreement other than Liens on Vehicles shall constitute perfected Liens (with respect to Intellectual Property, if and to the extent perfection may be achieved by the filing of UCC-1 financing statements and/or security agreements substantially in the form of Annex A, Annex B or Annex C, as applicable, in the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office) in favor of the Administrative Agent, on behalf and for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, in the Collateral as collateral security for the Obligations, which Liens will be prior to all other Liens on the Collateral of such Grantor, subject to Permitted Borrowing Base Liens, Permitted Cash Management Liens and First Purchaser Liens and which are enforceable as such against all creditors of such Grantor and any Person purporting to purchase such Collateral from such Grantor.

(c) Receivables. The amount represented by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent from time to time as owing by each Account Debtor or by all Account Debtors in respect of such Grantor’s Receivables will at such time be the correct amount actually owing by such Account Debtor or Account Debtors thereunder. No amount payable to such Grantor under or in connection with any Receivable is evidenced by any Instrument or Chattel Paper in a principal amount that is greater than $2,500,000 that has not been delivered to the Administrative Agent. As of the Closing Date, the place where such Grantor keeps its records concerning such Grantor’s Receivables is the address set forth opposite such Grantor’s name on Schedule I.

(d) Material Contracts. No consent of any party (other than such Grantor) to any Material Contract such Grantor is party to is required, or purports to be required, in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Security Agreement. Each Material Contract such Grantor is party to is in full force and effect and constitutes a valid and legally enforceable obligation of the parties thereto, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditor’s rights generally and general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). No consent or authorization of, filing with or other act by or in respect of any Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery, validity or enforceability of any of the Material Contracts such Grantor is party to by any party thereto other than those which have been duly obtained, made or performed, are in full force and effect and do not subject the scope of any such Material Contract to any material adverse limitation, either specific or general in nature. Neither such Grantor nor (to the best of such Grantor’s knowledge) any other party to any Material Contract such Grantor is party to is in default or is likely to become in default in the performance or observance or any of the terms thereof in any manner that, in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Such Grantor has fully performed all its material obligations under each Material Contract such Grantor is party to. The right, title and interest of such Grantor in, to and under each Material Contract such Grantor is party to are not subject to any defense, offset, counterclaim or claim which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, nor have any of the foregoing been asserted or alleged against such Grantor as to any such Material Contract. Such Grantor has delivered to the Administrative Agent a complete and correct copy of each Material Contract such Grantor is party to, including all amendments, supplements and other modifications thereto. No amount payable to such Grantor under or in connection with any Material Contract such Grantor is party to is evidenced by any Instrument or Chattel Paper that has not been delivered to the Administrative Agent.

Each Grantor also hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to file any such financing statements, financing change statements or amendments to financing statements or continuation statements without the

-11-

signature of such Grantor to the extent permitted by applicable law.

(d) Compliance with Laws, etc. Such Grantor will comply with all Requirements of Law applicable to the Collateral or any part thereof or to the operation of such Grantor’s business except to the extent that failure to comply therewith could not, in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that each Grantor may obtain waivers or contest any Requirement of Law in any reasonable manner which shall not, in the sole opinion of the Administrative Agent, adversely affect the Administrative Agent’s, or the Lenders’ or the Issuing Lender’s rights or the priority of its Liens on the Collateral.

(e) Compliance with Terms of Material Contracts, etc. Such Grantor will perform and comply with all its obligations under the Material Contracts and all its other Contractual Obligations relating to the Collateral unless (i) the subject of a good faith dispute or (ii) such failure to perform or comply could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(i) Control of Pledged Accounts. Such Grantor agrees that, subject to Section 8(a) or otherwise with the consent of the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion (exercised in good faith), at no time shall it hold any funds or any other assets in any Pledged Account that is not a Controlled Account.

(j) Assets in Pledged Accounts. Such Grantor agrees that at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default in respect of which the Administrative Agent has exercised any remedies in respect of any Collateral in any Controlled Account, including without limitation, giving any instruction to a bank, securities intermediary or other Person maintaining a Controlled Account, such Grantor will not, and will not cause or permit any of its agents, representatives or other Persons to withdraw any cash (or, with respect to any Securities Account or Commodity Account, withdraw, transfer, sell, redeem, pledge, rehypothecate or otherwise deliver or dispose of any assets in such account) from any Controlled Account (each an “Account Transaction”) without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to instruct the applicable bank, securities intermediary or other Person maintaining any Controlled Account to not execute any Account Transaction without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and (ii) any amounts in any Controlled Account may be withdrawn by the Administrative Agent and applied as provided in Section 8(b). Such Grantor agrees that it will not transfer assets out of any Securities Accounts or Commodity Accounts, or transfer any Securities Accounts or Commodity Accounts to another securities intermediary, unless such Grantor, the Administrative Agent, and the substitute securities intermediary have entered into an Account Control Agreement. No arrangement contemplated hereby or by any Account Control Agreement in respect of any Securities Accounts, Commodity Accounts or other Investment Property shall be modified by such Grantor without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent to be exercised in good faith). Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may notify any securities intermediary to liquidate the applicable Securities Accounts and/or Commodity Accounts or any related Investment Property maintained or held thereby and remit the proceeds thereof to an account specified by the Administrative Agent (including any Collateral Account).

6. Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact.

(a) Powers. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of each Grantor and in the name of each Grantor or in its own name, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Security Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Security Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives the Administrative Agent the power and right, on behalf of each Grantor, without notice to or assent by any Grantor, to do the following:

(i) in the name of each Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, to take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other instruments for the payment of moneys due under any Account, Instrument, Chattel Paper, General Intangible or Material Contract or with respect to any other Collateral and to file any claim or to take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of collecting any and all such moneys due under any Account, Instrument, Chattel Paper, General Intangible or Material Contract or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;

Anything in this Section 6(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, (x) the Administrative Agent agrees that it will not exercise any rights provided for in this Section 6(a) unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) Administrative Agent’s power of attorney over the FERC Contract Collateral, and the delegation thereof to the FERC Sub-Agent pursuant to Section 11, shall not be effective until the Administrative Agent delivers notice to such Grantor that such power of attorney is effective.

Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

The power of attorney conferred hereby on the Administrative Agent is solely to protect, preserve and realize upon its security interest in the Collateral. This power of attorney shall neither create any agency on the part of the Administrative Agent in favor of any Grantor, nor any fiduciary obligations or relationship on the part of any Secured Party for the benefit of any Grantor.

(b) No Duty on Administrative Agent’s or other Secured Parties’ Part. The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Administrative Agent’s and the other Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to exercise any such powers.

-18-

Administrative Agent and each Secured Party shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, shareholders, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

7. Performance by Administrative Agent of Grantors’ Obligations; Use of Collateral. If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Administrative Agent, only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and at its option, but without any obligation to do so, may itself perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, so long as none of (a) an Event of Default of the type described in Section 9.1(g) of the Credit Agreement shall have occurred, (b) any other Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing pursuant to which the Administrative Agent shall be exercising remedies pursuant to Section 9 hereof or (c) any other Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Administrative Agent shall have provided notice to a Grantor, each Grantor may use, commingle and dispose of all or any part of the Collateral in the ordinary course of its business, subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement and the provisions of this Security Agreement.

(a) In addition to the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties specified in Section 3(c) with respect to payments of Receivables, it is agreed that all Proceeds received by any Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items shall be held by the Grantors in trust for the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of the Grantors, and shall, promptly upon receipt by any Grantor, be deposited and held in a Controlled Account (or, to the limit allowed, in an Excluded Account). Any and all such Proceeds held in a Controlled Account (or by any Grantor in trust for the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties) shall continue to be held as collateral security for the Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in Section 8(b). Cash or any other property held in a Controlled Account shall not be transferred to any Deposit Account, Securities Account or Commodity Account of any Grantor that is not a Controlled Account or an Excluded Account.

(b) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time at the Administrative Agent’s election (or at the direction of the Required Lenders), the Administrative Agent shall apply all or any part of the Proceeds constituting Collateral, whether or not held in any Collateral Account, and any Proceeds of any Pledge Agreement, the Guarantee or any other Loan Document, or otherwise received by the Administrative Agent, against the Obligations (whether matured or unmatured), such application to be in the following order:

(i) First, to pay incurred and unpaid fees and expenses of the Issuing Lenders and Agents under the Loan Documents;

(ii) Second, to the Administrative Agent, for application by it towards payment of all amounts then due and owing and remaining unpaid in respect of interest and fees pro rata among the Secured Parties according to the amounts of such Obligations (other than the Subordinated Obligations) then due and owing and remaining unpaid to the Secured Parties;

(iii) Third, to the Administrative Agent, for application by it towards (i) payment of all principal on all Loans then outstanding and all Unreimbursed Amounts then outstanding and (ii) Cash Collateralizing any outstanding Letters of Credit, pro rata among the Secured Parties according to the amounts of the Obligations to be so paid or Cash Collateralized under this clause (iii) owing to the Secured Parties;

-19-

(iv) Fourth, to the Administrative Agent, for application by it towards payment of all other amounts then due and owing and remaining unpaid in respect of the Obligations (other than the Subordinated Obligations), pro rata among the Secured Parties according to the amounts of such Obligations (other than the Subordinated Obligations) then due and owing and remaining unpaid to the Secured Parties;

(v) Fifth, to the Administrative Agent, for application by it towards prepayment of the Obligations (other than the Subordinated Obligations), pro rata among the Secured Parties according to the amounts of the Obligations (other than the Subordinated Obligations) being so prepaid then held by the Secured Parties;

(vi) Sixth, to the Administrative Agent, for application by it towards payment of all amounts then due and owing and remaining unpaid in respect of the Subordinated Obligations and prepayment of the remaining Subordinated Obligations, pro rata among the Subordinated Parties according to the amounts of the Subordinated Obligations then due and owing and remaining unpaid or being so prepaid then held by the Subordinated Parties; and

(vii) Seventh, any balance of such Proceeds remaining after the Obligations shall have been paid in full, no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding and the Commitments shall have terminated, shall be paid over to the applicable Grantor or to whomsoever else may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amounts received from any Guarantor shall be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Guarantor.

9. Remedies.

(a) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Security Agreement, the Loan Documents (including all of the Security Documents) and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to any of the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC. In such circumstances, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may transfer all or any part of the Collateral into the Administrative Agent’s name or the name of its nominee or nominees, and/or may forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions (including by lease or by deferred payment arrangement) as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk and/or may take such other actions as may be available under applicable law. The Administrative Agent or any Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, auction or closed tender, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived or released. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Administrative Agent’s

-20-

request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Administrative Agent at places which the Administrative Agent shall reasonably select (on its behalf and on behalf of the Secured Parties), whether at any Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The Administrative Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties arising out of the exercise by the Administrative Agent hereunder, including, without limitation, documented fees and disbursements of counsel, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in such order as provided in Section 8(b), and only after such application and after the payment by the Administrative Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9-615 of the UCC, or required pursuant to clause (vi) of Section 8(b), need the Administrative Agent account for the surplus, if any, to the Grantors. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party arising out of the exercise by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party of any of its rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Obligations (including the documented fees and disbursements of counsel employed by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to collect such deficiency to the extent provided therefor in Section 11.6 of the Credit Agreement).

(b) With respect to FERC Contract Collateral, (i) only the FERC Sub-Agent shall take any of the actions described in Section 9(a) (“Enforcement Actions”), (ii) the FERC Sub-Agent shall not take any Enforcement Actions until the FERC Sub-Agent delivers a notice to the Administrative Agent and such Grantor that it thereafter may take Enforcement Actions, (iii) the FERC Sub-Agent shall take such Enforcement Actions at it determines are advisable, in consultation with the Administrative Agent, but without obligation to follow direction of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders and (iv) any such enforcement actions shall be subject to any applicable FERC approvals, rules and regulations and any applicable tariffs.

(iii) The amount of any customary “carve-out” or other similar administrative priority expense or claim consented to in writing by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Senior Parties, to be paid prior to the payment in full of the Senior Obligations (i) will be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 10(c)(i), a use of cash collateral at the time consented to by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Senior Parties, and (ii) will not be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 10(c)(ii), a principal amount of DIP Financing at the time consented to by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Senior Parties.

(iv) No Subordinated Party may, directly or indirectly, seek to provide DIP Financing to the Borrower or other Grantor secured by Liens equal or senior in priority to the Liens securing any Senior Obligations; provided, that nothing in this Section 10(c)(iv) shall prohibit any Subordinated Party which is also a Senior Party from offering to provide or from providing a DIP Financing to the extent permitted under Section 10(c)(ii); provided further that, if one or more of Senior Parties do not offer to provide a DIP Financing to the extent permitted under Section 10(c)(ii), then the Subordinated Parties may seek to provide such DIP Financing permitted under Section 10(c)(ii), secured by Liens equal or senior in priority to the Liens securing any Senior Obligations, and the Senior Parties may object thereto.

(d) Sale of Collateral. In its capacity as the holder of a Lien on the Collateral, no Subordinated Party will, or will direct the Administrative Agent to, contest, protest or object to, and each Subordinated Party will be deemed to have consented to, pursuant to section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code (or similar Bankruptcy Law), a sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of any Collateral free and clear of its Liens or other interests under section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (or similar Bankruptcy Law), if the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Senior Parties, has consented in writing to such Disposition; provided, that the Liens of the Subordinated Parties attach to any net proceeds of such Disposition with the same priority and validity as the Liens held by the Subordinated Parties on the assets disposed of in such Disposition, and any such Liens will remain subject to the terms of this Security Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Subordinated Parties may raise objections to any Disposition of Collateral that could be raised in an Insolvency Proceeding by unsecured creditors generally so long as not otherwise inconsistent with the terms of this Security Agreement.

-24-

(e) Relief from the Automatic Stay. Until the date on which the Senior Obligations shall have been paid in full, no Letters of Credit shall be outstanding and the Commitments shall have been terminated, no Subordinated Party will, or will direct the Administrative Agent on its behalf to, seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of the Collateral, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Senior Parties, or oppose any request by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Senior Parties, for relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding.

(f) Adequate Protection. No Subordinated Party will, or will direct the Administrative Agent on its behalf to, contest, protest or object to (x) any request by a Senior Party for “adequate protection” (within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar Bankruptcy Law); or (y) any objection by a Senior Party to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on a Senior Party claiming a lack of adequate protection.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions in this Section 10(f), in any Insolvency Proceeding:

(i) except as permitted in this Section 10(f), the Subordinated Parties may not seek or request adequate protection and may not seek relief from the automatic stay imposed by section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code (or similar Bankruptcy Law) or other relief based upon a lack of adequate protection;

(ii) if the Senior Parties (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection in the form of additional Collateral in connection with any motion described in Section 10(c), then the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Subordinated Parties, may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional or replacement Collateral for the benefit of the Subordinated Parties, which Lien will be subordinated to the Liens at any time securing the Senior Obligations and any DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Subordinated Obligations are so subordinated to the Senior Obligations under this Security Agreement; and

(iii) any claim of any Subordinated Party under section 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code (or similar Bankruptcy Law) will be subordinate in right of payment to any claim of the Senior Parties under section 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code (or similar Bankruptcy Law); provided, that the Subordinated Parties will be deemed to have agreed pursuant to section 1129(a)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar Bankruptcy Law) that any such junior claims may be paid under any plan of reorganization in any form, having a value on the effective date of such plan equal to the allowed amount of such claims.

(g) No Waiver. Subject to Section 10(a)(i) and (iii), nothing contained herein will prohibit or in any way limit a Senior Party from objecting in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by a Subordinated Party, including the seeking by any Subordinated Party of adequate protection or the asserting by a Subordinated Party of any of its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents or any Cash Management Bank Agreements, Commodity OTC Agreements or Financial Hedging Agreements to which it is a party or otherwise.

(h) Post-Petition Claims.

(i) Neither the Administrative Agent on behalf of any Subordinated Party, nor any other Subordinated Party, will oppose or seek to challenge any claim by a Senior Party for allowance or payment in any Insolvency Proceeding of Senior Obligations consisting of

-00-

Xxxx-Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, to the extent of the value of the Senior Parties’ Lien on the Collateral, without regard to the existence of the Lien of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Subordinated Party on the Collateral.

(ii) Neither the Administrative Agent on behalf of any Senior Party, nor any other Senior Party, will oppose or seek to challenge any claim by a Subordinated Party for allowance and any payment permitted under Section 10(f) in any Insolvency Proceeding of Subordinated Obligations consisting of Post-Petition Claims, to the extent of the value of the Lien of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Subordinated Party on the Collateral (after taking account of the existence of the Lien of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Senior Parties on the Collateral).

(i) Waiver. Each Subordinated Party waives any claim it may hereafter have against any Senior Party arising out of the election of any Senior Party of the application of section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, and/or out of any cash collateral or financing arrangement or out of any grant of a security interest in connection with the Collateral in any Insolvency Proceeding.

(j) Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification. Each Subordinated Party and each Senior Party acknowledges and agrees that because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the Subordinated Obligations, to the extent deemed to be “secured claims” within the meaning of section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar Bankruptcy Law), are fundamentally different from the Senior Obligations and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization in an Insolvency Proceeding. No Subordinated Party will seek in any Insolvency Proceeding to be treated as part of the same class of creditors as Senior Parties and will not oppose or contest any pleading by Senior Parties seeking separate classification of their respective secured claims.

(k) Effectiveness in Insolvency Proceedings. The provisions of this Section 10, which the Secured Parties agree constitutes a “subordination agreement” under section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, will be effective before, during and after the commencement of an Insolvency Proceeding. All references herein to any Grantor will include such Grantor as a debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for such Grantor in any Insolvency Proceeding. The relative rights of the Senior Parties and the Subordinated Parties in respect of any Collateral or proceeds thereof shall continue after the filing of such petition on the same basis as prior to the date of such filing, subject to any court order approving the financing of, or use of cash collateral by, any Grantor.

(l) No Third Party Beneficiaries. No Person (including, without limitation, any Loan Party) is a third-party beneficiary of the provisions of this Section 10, except that the Senior Parties and Subordinated Parties which are not parties hereto shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions of this Section 10. This Section 10 shall be binding upon the Senior Parties and Subordinated Parties and each Senior Party and Subordinated Party shall be deemed to have agreed to the terms hereof, by virtue of its acceptance of the benefits of the Senior Obligations and the Subordinated Obligations, respectively. No other creditor of any Grantor has any rights under this Section 10, and no Grantor or other Loan Party may rely on the terms hereof. Nothing in this Section 10 impairs the Obligations of the Borrower and the other Grantors to pay principal, interest, fees and other amounts as provided in, or otherwise comply with the provisions of, the Loan Documents, the Cash Management Bank Agreements, the Commodity OTC Agreements or the Financial Hedging Agreements.

11. Appointment of FERC Sub-Agent.

(a) In connection with the FERC Contract Collateral, the Administrative Agent may designate and appoint a sub-agent (in such capacity, the “FERC Sub-Agent”), which appointment and

-26-

designation shall be effective upon written notice of the same to the Lenders and the Grantors, to take actions on behalf of the Administrative Agent and, upon the effectiveness of such appointment and designation, hereby authorizes the FERC Sub-Agent to take any action in connection with the FERC Contract Collateral required under this Security Agreement or otherwise permitted thereunder, without any further consent or instruction of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders.

(b) If at any time the FERC Sub-Agent determines in good faith that its status as FERC Sub-Agent may adversely affect the FERC Sub-Agent or any of its affiliates, the FERC Sub-Agent may resign and/or release the security interest in the FERC Contract Collateral whether or not a new FERC Sub-Agent is appointed. Any release of the security interest in the FERC Contract Collateral pursuant to this Section 11 shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default or a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by any Grantor in this Security Agreement or made by any Grantor in any other Loan Document.

12. Grant of License to Use Patent, Trademark and Copyright Collateral. For the purpose of enabling the Administrative Agent to exercise rights and remedies under Section 9 hereof at such time as the Administrative Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to any Grantor) to use, license or sublicense any of the Copyrights, Patents and Trademarks, now owned or hereafter acquired by any Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored. The use of such license by the Administrative Agent shall be exercised, at the option of the Administrative Agent for any purpose appropriate in connection with the exercise of remedies hereunder, only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default; provided that any license, sublicense or other transaction entered into by the Administrative Agent in accordance herewith shall be binding upon each Grantor notwithstanding any subsequent cure of an Event of Default. The Administrative Agent agrees to apply the net proceeds received from any license as provided in Section 8 hereof.

13. Limitation on Duties Regarding Presentation of Collateral.

(a) The Administrative Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Administrative Agent deals with similar property for its own account. None of the Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents or advisors shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Administrative Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Administrative Agent and other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees, agents or advisors shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under each of the Receivables and Contracts (that constitute Collateral) and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any Receivable or under any Contract, in each case, that constitutes Collateral, by reason of or arising out of this Security Agreement

-27-

or the receipt by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party of any payment relating to such Receivable or Contract pursuant hereto, nor shall the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any Receivable or under or pursuant to any Contract, in each case, that constitutes Collateral, to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any Receivable or under any Contract, in each case, that constitutes Collateral, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

14. Powers Coupled with an Interest. All authorizations and agencies herein contained with respect to the Collateral are irrevocable and powers coupled with an interest.

15. Notices. (a) Notices, requests and demands to or upon the Administrative Agent or the Borrower shall be effected in the manner set forth in Section 11.2 of the Credit Agreement and (b) notices, requests and demands to or upon any other Grantor shall be effected in the manner set forth in Section 14 of the Guarantee.

16. Waivers by Grantor. Each Grantor waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, demand, presentment for payment, notice of non-payment, protest, notice of protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, or any other notice or formalities of any kind (except notice of the time and place of public or private sale of the Collateral and any notice specifically provided herein, or in the other Loan Documents) to or upon such Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which are hereby expressly waived) with respect to the Obligations, and waives notice of the amount of the Obligations outstanding at any time.

17. Authority of Administrative Agent. Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Administrative Agent under this Security Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Administrative Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Administrative Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Security Agreement shall, as between the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Administrative Agent and the Grantors, the Administrative Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

18. Indemnification. Each Grantor agrees, jointly and severally, to (i) save the Administrative Agent and each Secured Party harmless from, any and all liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel) with respect to, or resulting from, any delay in paying, any and all Other Taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Collateral and (ii) indemnify each Secured Party as set forth in Section 11.6(e) of the Credit Agreement (or as may be applied to such Grantor pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Guarantee). The agreements in this Section 18 shall survive the termination of this Security Agreement and the payment of the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents.

19. Termination and Release.

(a) In addition to, and not in limitation of, the release provisions contained in Sections 10.10 and 11.5 of the Credit Agreement, this Security Agreement (including as to any power of

-28-

attorney, authorization or agency granted herein) and all other security interests granted hereby shall terminate when all the Obligations have been paid in full (other than inchoate claims in respect of indemnities for which no claim has been made or is known to any Grantor at the time all other Obligations have been paid in full), no Letters of Credit remain outstanding (unless such Letters of Credit have been Cash Collateralized) and the Commitments no longer remain in effect.

(b) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to paragraph (a) or Sections 10.10 or 11.5 of the Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to each Grantor, at such Grantor’s expense, all UCC termination statements and similar documents that such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release, and will duly assign and transfer to such Grantor, such of the Collateral that may be in the possession of the Administrative Agent and has not theretofore been sold or otherwise applied or released pursuant to this Security Agreement. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 19 shall be without recourse to or representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party.

20. Severability. Any provision of this Security Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

21. Paragraph Headings. The paragraph headings used in this Security Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

22. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. None of the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 23 hereof), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default or in any breach of any of the terms and conditions hereof. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Administrative Agent or any other such Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

23. Waivers and Amendments; Successors and Assigns; Governing Law. None of the terms or provisions of this Security Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by each Grantor and the Administrative Agent (subject to the Administrative Agent’ obtaining the requisite consents of any applicable Secured Parties pursuant to Section 11.1 of the Credit Agreement and, solely to the extent such instrument waives, amends, supplements or otherwise modifies Section 10, the written consent of each Subordinated Party adversely affected thereby); provided that any provision of this Security Agreement may be waived by the Administrative Agent in a written instrument executed by the Administrative Agent (subject to the Administrative Agent’s obtaining the requisite consents of the applicable Secured Parties pursuant to Section 11.1 of the Credit Agreement and, solely to the extent such instrument waives, amends, supplements or otherwise modifies Section 10, the written consent of each Subordinated Party adversely affected thereby); provided further that, reasonable updates and modifications to the schedules hereto shall not require the consent of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party. This Security

-29-

Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns. THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

24. Additional Grantors. Each Subsidiary of any Loan Party which is required pursuant to Section 7.13 of the Credit Agreement to become party to this Security Agreement shall become a Grantor for all purposes of this Security Agreement upon execution and delivery by such Subsidiary of a Supplement in the form of Annex D hereto.

25. Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof;

(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such Grantor at its address set forth in (a) Section 11.2 of the Credit Agreement, with respect to the Borrower or (b) Section 15 of the Guarantee, with respect to each other Grantor, or at such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto; and

(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to xxx in any other jurisdiction.

26. Waiver of Certain Damages. Each Grantor and the Administrative Agent (on behalf of themselves and each Secured Party) hereby waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in Section 25 any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

27. WAIVER OF JURY. EACH OF THE GRANTOR AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

28. Counterparts. This Security Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Security Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile transmission or other electronic transmission of signature pages hereto), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Security Agreement by facsimile transmission or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. A set of the copies of this Security Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

In such circumstances, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Pledgor, any of the Issuers or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may transfer all or any part of the Pledged Collateral into the Administrative Agent’s name or the name of its nominee or nominees, and/or may forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Pledged Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, assign, give option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, in the over-the-counter market, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk and/or may take such other actions as may be available under applicable law. The Administrative Agent or any Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Pledgor, which right or equity is hereby waived or released. The Administrative Agent shall apply any Proceeds from time to time held by it and the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental to the care or

-9-

safekeeping of any of the Pledged Collateral or in any way relating to the Pledged Collateral or the rights of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties arising out of the exercise by the Administrative Agent hereunder, including, without limitation, documented fees and disbursements of counsel, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in such order as is provided in Section 8(a), and only after such application and after the payment by the Administrative Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Section 9-615 of the UCC, or required pursuant to clause (vi) of Section 8(a), need the Administrative Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Pledgor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Pledgor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party arising out of the exercise by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party of any of its rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Pledged Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least ten (10) days before such sale or other disposition. Each Pledgor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of Pledged Collateral are insufficient to pay the Obligations (including the documented fees and disbursements of counsel employed by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to collect such deficiency to the extent provided therefor in Section 11.6 of the Credit Agreement).

9. Registration Rights; Private Sales.

(a) If the Administrative Agent shall determine to exercise its right to sell any or all of the shares of Pledged Stock, any or all of the Pledged LLC Interests or any or all of the Pledged Partnership Interests pursuant to Section 8 hereof, and if in the opinion of the Administrative Agent it is necessary or advisable to have the Pledged Stock and/or the Pledged LLC Interests and/or the Pledged Partnership Interests, or that portion thereof to be sold, registered under the provisions of the Securities Act, each Pledgor will cause any or all of the Issuers to (i) execute and deliver, and cause the officers of such Issuers to execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, necessary or advisable to register the shares of Pledged Stock and/or the Pledged LLC Interests and/or the Pledged Partnership Interests or that portion of them to be sold, under the provisions of the Securities Act, (ii) to use its best efforts to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for a period of one year from the date of the first public offering of the shares of Pledged Collateral, or that portion thereof to be sold, and (iii) to make all amendments thereto and/or to the related prospectus which, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto. Each Pledgor agrees to cause the Issuers to comply with the provisions of the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of any and all jurisdictions which the Administrative Agent shall designate and to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement (which need not be audited) which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.

(b) Each Pledgor recognizes that the Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Collateral, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the Administrative Agent than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuers to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if the Issuers would agree to do so.

-10-

(c) Each Pledgor further agrees to use its reasonable efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make any sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Pledge Agreement valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable Requirements of Law. Each Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section will cause irreparable injury to the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, that the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section shall be specifically enforceable against each Pledgor, and each Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Credit Agreement.

10. Irrevocable Authorization and Instruction to Issuers. Each Pledgor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer to comply with any instruction received by it from the Administrative Agent in writing that (a) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (b) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Pledge Agreement, without any other or further instructions from any Pledgor, and each Pledgor agrees that each Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying.

11. Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact.

(a) Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent and any officer or agent of the Administrative Agent, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of each Pledgor and in the name of each Pledgor or in the Administrative Agent’s own name, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Pledge Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Pledge Agreement, including, without limitation, any financing statements, endorsements, assignments or other instruments of transfer.

(b) Each Pledgor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done pursuant to the power of attorney granted in Section 11(a). All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Pledge Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Pledge Agreement is terminated and the security interest created hereby is released.

(c) The power of attorney conferred hereby on the Administrative Agent is solely to protect, preserve and realize upon its security interest in the Pledged Collateral. This power of attorney shall neither create any agency on the part of the Administrative Agent in favor of any Pledgor, nor any fiduciary obligations or relationship on the part of any Secured Party for the benefit of any Pledgor.

(d) Anything in this Section 11 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent agrees that it will not exercise any rights provided for in this Section 11 unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

12. Limitation on Duties Regarding Pledged Collateral. The Administrative Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Pledged Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Administrative Agent deals with similar securities and property for its own account, except that the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to invest funds held in any Collateral Account and may hold the same as demand deposits. None of the Administrative Agent, any Secured Party or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents or advisors shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Pledged Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any

-11-

obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Pledged Collateral upon the request of the Pledgors or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof. The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder are solely to protect the Administrative Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Administrative Agent and other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees, agents or advisors shall be responsible to any Pledgor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

13. Authorization of Financing Statements. Each Pledgor hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to file financing statements with respect to the Pledged Collateral in such form and in such filing offices as the Administrative Agent reasonably determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Administrative Agent under this Pledge Agreement.

14. Powers Coupled with an Interest. All authorizations and agencies herein contained with respect to the Pledged Collateral are irrevocable and powers coupled with an interest.

15. Notices. (a) Notices, requests and demands to or upon the Administrative Agent or the Borrower shall be effected in the manner set forth in Section 11.2 of the Credit Agreement and (b) notices, requests and demands to or upon any other Pledgor shall be effected in the manner set forth in Section 15 of the Guarantee.

16. Authority of Administrative Agent. Each Pledgor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Administrative Agent under this Pledge Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Administrative Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Administrative Agent of any option, right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Pledge Agreement shall, as between the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Administrative Agent and the Pledgors, the Administrative Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and neither the Pledgors nor any Issuer shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

17. Severability. Any provision of this Pledge Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

18. Paragraph Headings. The paragraph headings used in this Pledge Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

19. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. The Administrative Agent or any Secured Party shall not by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 20 hereof), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default or in any breach of any of the terms and conditions hereof. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or

-12-

the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

20. Waivers and Amendments; Successors and Assigns; Governing Law. None of the terms or provisions of this Pledge Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by each Pledgor and the Administrative Agent (subject to the Administrative Agent obtaining the requisite consents of any applicable Secured Parties pursuant to Section 11.1 of the Credit Agreement), provided that any provision of this Pledge Agreement may be waived by the Administrative Agent (subject to the Administrative Agent obtaining the requisite consents of any applicable Secured Parties pursuant to Section 11.1 of the Credit Agreement) in a letter or agreement executed by the Administrative Agent or by telex or facsimile transmission from the Administrative Agent; provided further that, reasonable updates and modifications to Schedule I hereto shall not require the consent of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party and Schedule I shall be deemed amended pursuant to any applicable Disposition permitted under the Credit Agreement. This Pledge Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Pledgor and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns. THIS PLEDGE AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

21. Additional Pledgors. Each Subsidiary of a Pledgor which is required pursuant to Section 5(e) to become party to this Pledge Agreement shall become a Pledgor for all purposes of this Pledge Agreement upon execution and delivery by such Subsidiary of a Supplement in the form of Exhibit A hereto.

22. Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each Pledgor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof;

(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such Pledgor at its address set forth in (a) Section 11.2 of the Credit Agreement, with respect to the Borrower or (b) Section 15 of the Guarantee, with respect to each other Pledgor, or at such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto; and

(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to xxx in any other jurisdiction.

-13-

23. Waiver of Certain Damages. Each Pledgor and the Administrative Agent (on behalf of itself and each Secured Party) hereby waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in Section 22 any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

24. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PLEDGORS AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS PLEDGE AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

25. Counterparts. This Pledge Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Pledge Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile transmission or other electronic transmission of signature pages hereto), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Pledge Agreement by facsimile transmission or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, dated as of October [ ], 2013 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among Xxxxxxx Operating Resources LLC, as Borrower, the Lenders from time to time parties thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and the other agents parties thereto, the Lenders have severally agreed to make Loans to and the Issuing Lenders have agreed to issue or provide Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, which Loans may be evidenced by the Notes issued by the Borrower thereunder;

WHEREAS, each Obligor has made or may make from time to time certain loans, advances or other extensions of credit to one or more of the other Obligors; and

WHEREAS, it is a covenant under Section 8.2(b) of the Credit Agreement that each Obligor enter into this Subordination Agreement with the Administrative Agent in respect of all amounts from time to time owing to such Obligor (including any interest thereon) from any other Obligor.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1. Defined Terms. Unless otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein which are defined in, or by reference in, the Credit Agreement shall have the meanings specified therein. In addition, as used in this Intercompany Subordination Agreement, the following terms have the following meanings:

“Payment in Full of the Senior Obligations”: (a) the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all amounts due or to become due (whether or not all or any of the Senior Obligations have been declared due and payable prior to the date on which such Senior Obligations would otherwise have become due and payable) on or in respect of all Senior Obligations, and (b) the termination of the Commitments.

“Senior Obligations”: the collective reference to the unpaid principal of and interest on the Loans, unpaid Reimbursement Obligations and interest thereon and all other Obligations (for the avoidance of doubt, including, without limitation, interest accruing after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding, relating to any Loan Party, whether or not a claim for post filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding) of any Loan Party to the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders, the Cash Management Banks, Qualified Cash Management Banks, Qualified Counterparties and the Agents (collectively, the “Lender Parties”).

“Subordinated Obligations”: with respect to any Obligor, any and all amounts from time to time owing to such Obligor (including any interest thereon) from any other Obligor.

“Subordination Event”: the Senior Obligations becoming due and payable in full, whether upon maturity, acceleration or otherwise.

2. Subordination. (a) Each Obligor agrees that the Subordinated Obligations shall be Subordinate and Junior in Right of Payment to all Senior Obligations.

(b) As used in this Subordination Agreement the term “Subordinate and Junior in Right of Payment” shall mean that:

(i) no part of the Subordinated Obligations shall have any claim to the assets of any Obligor on a parity with or prior to the claim of the Senior Obligations, and payment of all of the Subordinated Obligations is and shall be subject, subordinate and deemed junior in right of payment to the prior Payment in Full of the Senior Obligations;

(ii) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and following receipt by any Loan Party of a written notice from the Administrative Agent prohibiting the following,

(A) no Obligor will take, demand or receive from any other Obligor and no Obligor will make, give or permit, directly or indirectly, by set off, redemption, purchase or in any other manner, any payment of or security for the whole or any part of the Subordinated Obligations unless otherwise permitted by the Credit Agreement or consented to in writing by the Administrative Agent, and

(B) no Obligor will accelerate for any reason the scheduled maturities of any Subordinated Obligations unless permitted in writing by the Administrative Agent;

provided that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, no payments permitted pursuant to clause (A) above shall be made into any Deposit Account, Securities Account or Commodity Account of any Loan Party that is not a Controlled Account (in each case as defined in the Security Agreement); provided, further, that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each Obligor may make payments of interest on and principal of the Subordinated Obligations, including, without limitation, any payments on Subordinated Obligations consisting of customary revolving intercompany payables consistent with past practice; and

(iii) in the event of any Subordination Event, any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities which, but for the subordination provisions of this Subordination Agreement, and subject to the proviso in the preceding subsection (ii) would otherwise be payable or deliverable upon or in respect of the Subordinated Obligations, shall instead be paid over or delivered to the Administrative Agent for application on account of the Senior Obligations, and no Obligor shall receive any such payment or distribution or any benefit therefrom.

(c) Upon the occurrence of a Subordination Event arising pursuant to Section 9.1(g) of the Credit Agreement, (i) if any Obligor shall have failed to file claims or proofs of claim with respect to the Subordinated Obligations earlier than thirty (30) days prior to the deadline for any such filing, such Obligor shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent such powers of attorney, assignments or other instruments as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to file such claims or proofs of claim and (ii) unless each Lender Party shall otherwise agree in writing, until the Payment in Full of the Senior Obligations, no Obligor shall be entitled to receive any payment on account of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on or other amounts payable in respect of the Subordinated Obligations, and to that end, any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, which may be payable or deliverable in respect of Subordinated Obligations in any such case, proceeding, receivership, dissolution, liquidation or other winding up proceeding (such proceedings, collectively, “Insolvency Proceedings”) shall instead be paid or delivered to the Administrative Agent for application to the Senior Obligations that are due and payable until the Payment in Full of the Senior Obligations shall have first occurred.

(d) If any Insolvency Proceeding is commenced by or against any Obligor:

(i) the Administrative Agent and each other Lender Party is hereby irrevocably authorized and empowered (in its own name or in the name of the applicable Obligor or otherwise), but shall have no obligation, to demand, xxx for, collect and receive every payment or distribution in respect of the Subordinated Obligations above and give acquittance therefor and to file claims and proofs of claim and take such other action (including voting the Subordinated Obligations or enforcing any security interest or other lien securing payment of the Subordinated Obligations) as such Lender Party may deem necessary or advisable for the exercise or enforcement of any of the such Lender Party’s rights or interests hereunder; and

(ii) each Obligor shall duly and promptly take such action as the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party may request in its good faith business judgment (A) to collect the Subordinated Obligations for the account of the Lender Parties and to file appropriate claims or proofs of claim in respect of the Subordinated Obligations, (B) to execute and deliver to the Lender Parties such powers of attorney, assignments, or other instruments as such Lender Parties may request in order to enable them to enforce any and all claims with respect to, and any security interests and other liens securing payment of, the Subordinated Obligations and (C) to collect and receive any and all payments or distributions which may be payable or deliverable upon or with respect to the Subordinated Obligations.

(e) Should any payment or distribution or security, or the proceeds of any thereof, be collected or received by any Obligor in respect of Subordinated Obligations, and such collection or receipt is not expressly permitted hereunder prior to the payment in full of the Senior Obligations, such Obligor will, forthwith deliver the same to the Administrative Agent, to the extent practicable in precisely the form received (except for the endorsement or the assignment of the holder thereof where necessary) and, until so delivered, the same shall be held in trust by such Obligor as the property of the Lender Parties.

(f) Each Obligor waives any right that it may have to be subrogated to the rights of the Lender Parties to receive payments or distributions of assets of any other Obligor made on the Senior Obligations or to otherwise seek reimbursement, indemnity or contribution or payment of any kind from any other Obligor in respect of amounts paid to the Lender Parties in lieu of such Obligor by operation of this Subordination Agreement, until such time as the Senior Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and the Commitments have been terminated.

(g) Each Obligor hereby waives any and all notices of renewal, extension or accrual or increase of any of the Senior Obligations, present or future, and agrees and consents that without notice to or assent by such Obligor:

(i) the obligations and liabilities of any other Obligor or any other party or parties for or upon the Senior Obligations (and/or any promissory note(s), security document or guaranty evidencing or securing any of the same) may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, modified, amended, accelerated, compromised, supplemented, terminated, sold, exchanged, waived or released or increased;

(ii) the Administrative Agent and each other Lender Party may exercise or refrain from exercising any right, remedy or power granted by the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other document creating, evidencing or otherwise related to any of the Senior Obligations or at law, in equity, or otherwise, with respect to any of the Senior Obligations or any collateral security or lien (legal or equitable) held, given or intended to be given therefor (including, without limitation, the right to perfect any lien or security interest created in connection therewith); and

(iii) any and all Collateral or other collateral security and/or Liens (legal or equitable) at any time, present or future, held, given or intended to be given for any of the Senior Obligations, and any rights or remedies of any Lender Party in respect thereof may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be exchanged, sold, surrendered, released, modified, waived or extended by such Lender Party;

in each case, as the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party may deem advisable and all without impairing, abridging, diminishing, releasing or affecting the subordination to the Senior Obligations provided for herein.

(h) Each Obligor acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent and each other Lender Party has relied upon and will continue to rely upon the subordination provided for herein in entering into the Credit Agreement.

3. Representations and Warranties. Each Obligor hereby represents and warrants that, as of the date hereof, such Obligor has no material claims against any other Obligor arising out of breach of contract or tort or otherwise.

4. Transfers of Subordinated Obligations. Each Obligor agrees that it will not assign, transfer, sell or otherwise dispose of its right, title and interest in any Subordinated Obligation to any other Person, other than an Affiliate or a Subsidiary, which transferee shall agree to the terms of this Subordination Agreement.

5. Miscellaneous. (a) No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part of the holders, assignees and beneficiaries from time to time of the Senior Obligations, any right, power or privilege under this Subordination Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under this Subordination Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The Administrative Agent shall not be prejudiced in its right to enforce the subordination contained herein in accordance with the terms hereof by any act or failure to act on the part of any Obligor. The rights and remedies provided in this Subordination Agreement and in the other Loan Documents and in all other agreements, instruments and documents referred to in any of the foregoing are cumulative and shall not be exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

(b) Each Obligor agrees to execute and deliver such further documents and to do such other acts and things as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in order to fully effect the purposes of this Subordination Agreement.

(c) All notices, requests and demands to or upon the respective parties hereto to be effective shall be in writing (including by facsimile transmission) and, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly given or made (i) in the case of delivery by hand, when received, (ii) in the case of delivery by mail, when received, or (iii) in the case of delivery by facsimile transmission, when sent, and receipt has been electronically confirmed, (1) to any Obligor, as set forth below its name on the signature pages hereof, and (2) to the Administrative Agent, at its address specified in Section 11.2 of the Credit Agreement.

(d) Each Obligor agrees to give the Administrative Agent prompt notice of any default by any other Obligor in respect of the Subordinated Obligations.

(e) Each Obligor will cause each note and instrument (if any) evidencing the Subordinated Obligations to be endorsed with the following legend:

(f) Each Obligor hereby agrees to xxxx its books of account in such a manner as shall be effective to give proper notice of the effect of this Subordination Agreement and will, in the case of any Subordinated Obligations not evidenced by any note or instrument, following the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, cause such Subordinated Obligations to be evidenced by an appropriate note or instrument or instruments endorsed with the above legend. Each Obligor will at its expense and at any time and from time to time promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents and take all further action that may be necessary or that the Administrative Agent may request in its good faith business judgment to protect any right or interest granted or purported to be granted hereunder or to enable the Lender to exercise and enforce their rights and remedies hereunder.

(g) THIS SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE LENDER PARTIES AND EACH OBLIGOR UNDER THIS SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. This Subordination Agreement shall be binding upon the Administrative Agent, each Obligor and their respective successors, transferees and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the other Lender Parties, each Obligor and their respective successors, transferees and assigns; provided, that no Obligor may assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

The provisions of this Section 3.3 shall not apply to any payment with respect to which Section 3.2 would be applicable.

3.4. Manner of Exercise.

(a) Subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent may take any actions to enforce Obligations under the Senior Indebtedness:

(i)

in any manner in its sole discretion in compliance with applicable law;

(ii)

without consultation with the Noteholder;

(iii)

regardless of whether a proceeding during a Bankruptcy Event has been commenced; and

(iv)

regardless of whether such exercise is adverse to the interest of the Noteholder.

-5-

(b) The rights of the Administrative Agent to enforce any provision of this Note will not be prejudiced or impaired by:

(i)

any act or failure to act of the Company; or

(ii)

noncompliance by any Person other than the Administrative Agent with any provision of this Note,

regardless of any knowledge thereof that the Administrative Agent may have or otherwise be charged with.

(c) The Noteholder, in such capacity, will not contest, protest or object to, or take any action to hinder, and it waives any and all claims with respect to, any action taken by the Administrative Agent to enforce Obligations under the Senior Indebtedness.

3.5. Remedies Standstill. Without the Administrative Agent’s prior written consent, the Noteholder shall not institute judicial or foreclosure proceedings to enforce any Note Obligations and the Noteholder shall not commence or join with any other creditor of the Obligors in commencing any proceeding against the Obligors seeking to effect an involuntary bankruptcy, receivership or similar arrangement until the acceleration of maturity of the Senior Indebtedness.

3.6. Restrictions on Acceleration. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Note, any Note Obligations or any Note Agreement, (a) no Note Obligations (other than payments permitted by Section 3.3(a)) shall become or be declared to be due and payable prior to the date on which the Senior Indebtedness becomes or is declared to be due and payable and (b) if any Senior Indebtedness shall have become or been declared to be due and payable prior to its stated maturity, the Note Obligations shall become immediately due and payable.

3.7. Subrogation to Rights of Holders of Senior Indebtedness. If the Noteholder pays or distributes cash, property or other assets to the Administrative Agent or another holder of Senior Indebtedness, the Noteholder will be subrogated to the rights of the Administrative Agent and/or such other holder of Senior Indebtedness, as applicable, with respect to the value of such payment or distributions; provided, that the Noteholder agrees not to assert or enforce any such rights of subrogation it may acquire as a result of any such payment or distribution until the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness. For purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness of any cash, property or securities to which the Noteholder would be entitled except for the provisions of this Section 3, and no payments over pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3 to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, by the Noteholder shall, as among the Company, its creditors (other than holders of such Senior Indebtedness) and the Noteholder, be deemed to be a payment or distribution by the Company to or on account of such Senior Indebtedness.

3.8. Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights. The provisions of this Section 3 are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Noteholder on the one hand and the holders of Senior Indebtedness on the other hand. Nothing contained in this Section 3 or elsewhere in this Note is intended to or shall (a) impair, as among the Company, its creditors (other than holders of Senior Indebtedness) and the Noteholder, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Noteholder the principal of, and interest on, and any other amount payable by the Company hereunder as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with its terms; or (b) affect the relative rights against the Company of the Noteholder and its creditors (other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness); or (c) except to the extent provided in Section 3.5 and 3.6 above, prevent the Noteholder from accelerating this Note and exercising all other remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Note, in each case subject to the notice requirements provided in Section 2 hereof, and to the rights, if any, under this Section 3 of the holders of Senior Indebtedness with respect to the turnover of assets received upon the exercise of any such remedy.

-6-

3.9. No Waiver of Subordination Provisions. No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Indebtedness to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Note, regardless of any knowledge thereof any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with. Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing, the holders of Senior Indebtedness may at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Noteholder, without incurring responsibility to the Noteholder and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Section 3 or the obligations hereunder of the Noteholder to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, do any one or more of the following: (i) change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, Senior Indebtedness or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which Senior Indebtedness is outstanding; (ii) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Senior Indebtedness; (iii) take security in any form for the Senior Indebtedness; (iv) release any Person liable in any manner for the collection of Senior Indebtedness; and (v) exercise or refrain from exercising or waiving any rights, powers or remedies against the Company or any other Person.

3.10. Reinstatement. The provisions of this Note shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time, upon the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event or otherwise, any payment of any of the Senior Indebtedness is rescinded, invalidated, avoided, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or must otherwise be returned by any holder of Senior Indebtedness (a “Recovery”), all as though such payment had not been made. If the provisions of this Note are terminated prior to any such Recovery, the provisions of this Note will be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination will not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto from the date of reinstatement. Upon any such reinstatement, the Noteholder will deliver to the Administrative Agent any proceeds or other payments made by Company between the purported payment in full of the Senior Indebtedness and their reinstatement in accordance with this Section 3. The Noteholder may not benefit from any Recovery, and any distribution made to it as a result of any Recovery will be paid over to the Administrative Agent for application to the Senior Indebtedness in accordance with this Section 3.

3.11. Amendment. The subordination provisions of this Section 3 are solely for the benefit of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and may not be rescinded, canceled, amended or modified in any way without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders to be affected by such rescission, cancellation, amendment or modification.

3.12. Refinancing. If the Company issues other indebtedness in exchange or replacement for the Senior Indebtedness, in whole or in part (a “Refinancing”), then the Senior Indebtedness will automatically be deemed not to have been discharged or paid in full for all purposes of this Section 3. Upon Noteholder’s receipt of a notice stating that the Company has entered into a new loan or credit document with respect to a Refinancing and identifying the new agent thereunder (the “New Agent”),

(a) the indebtedness and obligations under such new credit or loan documents will be treated as Senior Indebtedness for all purposes under this Note; and

(b) the New Agent under such new credit or loan documents will be Administrative Agent for all purposes under this Note.

-7-

3.13. Remedies. The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the holders of Senior Indebtedness, shall be entitled to enforce their rights under this Section 3 specifically, to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Section 3 and to exercise all other rights existing in their favor. The Noteholder and the Company each acknowledges and agrees that money damages may not be an adequate remedy for any breach of the provisions of this Section 3 and that the Administrative Agent, on behalf of holders of Senior Indebtedness, may apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive relief in order to enforce or prevent any violation of the provisions of this Section 3.

3.14. No Collateral. The Obligors shall not grant, and the Noteholder shall not demand, accept or receive, any collateral, direct or indirect, for any Note Obligation.

3.15. Payment in Full. For the purposes of this Note, no Senior Indebtedness shall be deemed to have been paid in full unless the holder thereof shall have received immediately available cash equal to the amount thereof then outstanding, all commitments to extend credit that would be Senior Indebtedness have been irrevocably terminated or have expired and the termination or cash collateralization of all letters of credit that, if drawn upon, would constitute Senior Indebtedness; provided, however, that if the holders of the Senior Indebtedness are required by reason of a judgment or order of any court or administrative authority having competent jurisdiction to repay any amounts or property received by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the holder of the Senior Indebtedness, or the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, on account of the Obligations, and the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, or the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, repay or return such amounts or property, then the subordination provisions of this Note shall be reinstated retroactively with respect to the amounts so repaid or property so returned as if such amounts or property had never been received by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the holder of the Senior Indebtedness, or the holders of the Senior Indebtedness notwithstanding any termination thereof or the cancellation of any instrument or agreement evidencing any of the Obligations.

3.16. Effectiveness during Bankruptcy Event Proceedings. The provisions of this Section 3, which the parties hereto expressly acknowledge constitute a “subordination agreement” under section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, will be effective before, during and after the commencement of proceedings under a Bankruptcy Event. All references in this Note to the Company will include such Person as a debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for such Person in any proceedings during a Bankruptcy Event.

3.17 Acknowledgment. The Company acknowledges that the Investor has executed that certain Acknowledgment and Agreement, dated as of October [ ], 2013, pursuant to which the Investor has acknowledged and agreed to the provisions of this Section 3, and the Company shall use its best efforts to cause any additional Noteholder to execute an Acknowledgment and Agreement in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto.

I. RISK MANAGEMENT PHILOSOPHY, OBJECTIVES AND PROCESS

1.1

Overview

Xxxxxxx Operating Resources LLC (“Sprague” or “the Company”) is a Delaware limited liability company engaged in the purchase, storage, distribution and sale of refined petroleum products, and natural gas and also provides storage and handling services for a broad range of materials. We are one of the largest independent wholesale distributors of refined products in the Northeast United States based on aggregate terminal capacity. We own and/or operate a large network of 15 refined products and materials handling terminals strategically located throughout the Northeast. We also have access to approximately 50 third-party terminals in the Northeast through which we sell or distribute refined products.

Xxxxxxx operates its business and reports results under three business segments: refined products, natural gas and materials handling. The refined products segment purchases a variety of refined products, such as heating oil, diesel fuel, residual fuel oil, kerosene, jet fuel and gasoline (primarily from refining companies, trading organizations and producers) and sells them to our customers. The wholesale customers resell the refined products we sell to them and commercial customers consume the refined products we sell to them. The wholesale customers consist largely of home heating oil retailers and diesel fuel and gasoline resellers. The commercial customers include federal and state agencies, municipalities, regional transit authorities, large industrial companies, hospitals and educational institutions. Although for internal purposes Xxxxxxx separates its refined products and natural gas businesses into smaller components (e.g. Supply and Marketing), it consolidates results of these groups for reporting purposes.

With respect to its refined products (a.k.a. oil) and natural gas businesses, Xxxxxxx enters into a variety of transactions including exchange-traded futures and options contracts and various over-the-counter derivative instruments that may result in physical delivery or are settled financially. In order to manage the risks associated with its core business activities, Xxxxxxx has centralized its supply and trading activities into its Portsmouth, NH headquarters.

The Supply and Trading mandate consists of the following:

1.	System Related Activities: Management of commodity supply requirements and commitments (and the associated price risks) arising from the following core business activities:

Refined Products (Oil) Marketing: As indicated, Xxxxxxx has an extensive network of refined products terminals along the U.S. East Coast, providing the foundation for its refined products marketing activities. As indicated, in addition to the Xxxxxxx-operated terminals, Xxxxxxx markets products from a range of 3^rd-party facilities. Xxxxxxx’x annual Oil Marketing sales are nearly 30 million barrels.

Refined Products (Oil) Supply: The key role of the Oil Supply group is to provide supply to support Xxxxxxx’x Oil Marketing system requirements. Included is supply at the facilities owned or operated by Xxxxxxx as well as a large number of third-party locations. A significant part of Xxxxxxx’x Oil Supply profitability is typically related to meeting system supply requirements, e.g. optimizing the timing of purchases in the physical (a.k.a. cash) markets when oil product basis levels are lower than sales that have been or will be completed by Oil Marketing. In addition, a key focus of Oil Supply is management of the xxxxxx and associated futures / swaps contract rolls associated with the refined products inventory.

Natural Gas Marketing: Xxxxxxx’x Natural Gas Marketing business is focused on delivering natural gas to industrial and commercial customers, primarily in the Northeast United States. Marketing obtains its supply exclusively from Xxxxxxx’x Natural Gas Supply group and sells natural gas via a range of contract types, including various kinds of forward contracts. Annual Natural Gas Marketing sales are over 50 BCF.

Natural Gas Supply: A primary role for the Natural Gas Supply group is to procure and deliver the supply needed for Marketing’s industrial and commercial customers. All of Natural Gas Marketing’s supply requirements are met by Natural Gas Supply.

Privileged and Confidential -		12/5/2011

2.	Discretionary Trading: Entering into contracts with the objective of generating profits on or from the exposure to shifts in market prices. In general, this is a limited activity at Xxxxxxx, as described below.

Oil Supply: Oil Supply can take discretionary positions, including both physical and financial. These positions are generally based on capitalizing on Xxxxxxx’x analysis and assessment of the fundamental supply / demand environment and other pertinent market knowledge leading to a view of the forward market, though are not specifically required to meet system supply requirements.

Natural Gas Supply: In addition to meeting Natural Gas Marketing’s requirements, Natural Gas Supply also sells natural gas to wholesale customers (resellers) as well as to gas utilities and power generation facilities. Natural Gas Supply does not undertake discretionary trading, rather focuses on meeting wholesale supply commitments in a timely and cost effective manner.

1.2

Risk Management Philosophy

It is the general philosophy of Xxxxxxx to hedge risks associated with its core business activities. Additionally, Xxxxxxx may assume risk within approved limits in order to grow the business and increase earnings. However, taking risks outside of approved limits is not permitted without prior approval of the Risk Management Committee (“RMC”).

1.3

Risk Management Objectives and Process

The objective of the risk management program at Xxxxxxx is to identify, measure, monitor, and control Xxxxxxx’x major risks (primarily market, credit and operational risk, recognizing that physical operations risks, liquidity risks, and business risks are not explicitly addressed in this policy) on a timely basis to better manage the business, thereby optimizing the Company’s financial performance. See Section 2.3 for definitions of the major risks.

Managing of these risks is achieved through determination of the Company’s financial objectives and risk tolerance, optimal allocation of risk capital to the Company’s business activities, an appropriate system of internal control systems and processes and the prudent actions of Xxxxxxx’x management, traders and staff.

Xxxxxxx’x Risk Management Policy and related documents i.e., policies, procedures, model documentation, etc. (collectively the “Risk Management and Control Documents”) establish standards for monitoring and controlling the financial risks associated with Xxxxxxx’x core businesses. The policy includes controls associated with asset optimization, hedging, marketing and discretionary trading activities. These documents codify Xxxxxxx’x control practices and therefore reduce the likelihood of sustaining material unanticipated losses. It is expected that the policy will be updated as necessary based on developments either within or outside the company. This Policy does not constitute a contract or agreement with employees or contract workers and may be modified or withdrawn at any time at the Risk Management Committee’s sole discretion, consistent with any obligations contained in Xxxxxxx’x credit facility.

The risk management process includes the following key elements:

Identifying risks;

Measuring and assessing risks;

Establishing risk limits and guidelines;

Xxxxxxx Operating Resources LLC Risk Management Policy


Privileged and Confidential -		12/5/2011

Executing transactions and strategies properly, consistent with Xxxxxxx’x risk tolerance;

Recording positions and processing transactions properly;

Validating policies, guidelines, procedures, methodologies, and models on an ongoing basis; and

Monitoring performance against approved limits and targets.

2. ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

2.1

Overview

In accordance with prevailing industry practice, lines of authority and responsibility for managing and controlling risk for trading, commercial and operations are clearly delineated. In particular, the appropriate separation between the transacting, risk monitoring/reporting and settlement/accounting functions is maintained through a three-office structure (front, middle and back offices). In addition, the Risk Analysis and Control function (“Middle Office”) will report and monitor exposures and limits independent of the commercial business functions. It is the responsibility of senior management and the RMC to ensure that appropriate segregation of duties is maintained in the context of organizational changes.

Risk monitoring of operational, health, safety and environmental matters is divided between operational line management, senior management of Xxxxxxx and the Legal Department.

Risk management and internal control are the responsibility of all Company personnel. An essential element of a strong risk control framework is the recognition by all employees of the need to carry out their responsibilities effectively and to communicate to the appropriate level of management any problems in operations, instances of non-compliance, or other violations. As it relates to Xxxxxxx’x transacting activities, prohibited activities include, but are not limited to the following:

Wash sales², roundtrip trades, offsetting transactions, or transactions that attempt to artificially inflate volume or revenue;

Transactions or strategies specifically prohibited by the various regulatory agencies having jurisdiction over our business.

Any employee that becomes aware of such behavior or is contacted by a third party and requested to engage in such behavior should report such incidents in accordance with Section 3.1 of this Policy.

2.2

Board of Directors

The Xxxx Xxxxxxx, Inc. (“AJI”) Board of Directors (“Board of Directors”) is ultimately responsible for overseeing all activities of Xxxxxxx. In the context of risk management oversight, this body will define the risk tolerance (overall limits) of the Company and ensure that appropriate systems, processes and internal controls are in place to measure, monitor and manage the Company’s risk exposure, in particular market, credit and operational risk.

The Board of Directors has in turn delegated authority and responsibility to the Risk Management Committee and certain Officers of the Company for the bulk of the risk oversight function (see section 2.3). Changes in the overall risk exposure limits (e.g., VaR, stop loss, outright positions) and maximum credit limits must still be approved by the Board of Directors. Note that although discussions and communication with the Board of Directors is referenced in this policy, the common approach will be for Xxxxxxx to conduct the direct communication with Xxxx Xxxxxxx, Inc. President or designee. Subsequent communication with other Board of Directors members will be either done directly or managed by the AJI President.

¹	This document refers to specific positions and titles currently in place within Xxxxxxx. If the titles change due to factors such as promotions or changes in scope, the title changes would not affect the defined roles, responsibilities, etc.

²	FERC defines such transactions as those involving the intentional and simultaneous purchase and sale of an energy product to another company at the same price at the same delivery point

2.3

Risk Management Committee

The Risk Management Committee (“RMC”) maintains general oversight of all risk taking and risk management activities of the Company, including:

•

Market risk related to commodity prices, foreign exchange rates and interest rates. The primary component of this risk for Xxxxxxx is the exposure to commodity price volatility and the potential for financial losses;

•

Credit risk. This risk reflects the exposure to credit quality of Xxxxxxx’x counterparties and the potential for non-performance of their obligations;

•

Physical operations risk. This risk reflects the range of exposures that are associated with Xxxxxxx’x physical operations, primarily within terminals and trucking. Key exposures include health, safety, and environmental areas as well as the risks associated with not meeting customer obligations;

•

Operational risk. This risk refers to having inadequate systems and control processes as well as explicit items such as fraud and human error;

•

Liquidity risk. This is essentially a financial risk due to uncertain liquidity, e.g., if cash outflows are too large relative to cash inflows and available credit lines. Liquidity issues can also occur due to significant ownership of assets with low liquidity; and

•

Business risk. This reflects the range of standard risks of operating a business, including factors such as uncertainty in product demand, legal risk, and regulatory risk.

The RMC has authority and responsibility for:

•

Monitoring all risk taking and risk management activities of the Company;

•

Ensuring development and communication of appropriate Risk Management and Control Policies and ensuring that such documents are updated periodically, as needed;

•

Ensuring that Risk Management and Control Documents are adhered to;

•

Ensuring that appropriate internal control processes are established and adhered to;

•

Reviewing and approving new products, trading instruments and entry into new markets;

•

Reviewing and approving proposed interest rate risk management strategy, e.g. proportion of fixed and floating instruments;

•

Monitoring adequacy of staffing of resources devoted to commercial and risk management activities and ensuring that clear lines of authority and responsibility exist for assessing, measuring, and managing risks;

•

Curtailing or suspending trading activities, if necessary due to out of compliance actions, processes or results;

•

Ensuring that RMC actions and decisions are properly documented and acted upon in a timely manner;

•

Ensuring the development of appropriate systems for recording, monitoring and reporting the results of trading and exposure management activities; and

•

Reviewing and approving all changes to the Risk Management Policy, with the following exceptions.

RMC changes requiring approval of the Board of Directors:

•

Overall risk exposure limits (e.g., VaR, stop loss, outright positions); and

•

Maximum credit limits.

The Xxxxxxx Operating Resources LLC President and CEO is authorized to appoint a Chairperson and a Secretary to the Risk Management Committee to be confirmed by the Board of Directors. The current makeup of the RMC is as follows:

•

President and CEO (committee chairperson);

Potential participants include employees with direct responsibility for key elements of risk within the Company such as the VP Oil Trading, VP Natural Gas, and Managing Director(s) Sales. In addition, the AJI President and CEO is expected to be a frequent participant, depending on scheduling constraints and the planned discussion topics.

The RMC is expected to meet approximately bi-monthly, or more frequently as needed. A meeting may be conducted in person or via conference call. Five RMC members or their designees must be present in order to constitute a quorum. The members required to be present in order to constitute a quorum are:

President and CEO (or designee);

•

Chief Operating Officer / Chief Financial Officer (COO / CFO) [or designee];

•

VP, Oil Trading, Pricing and Customer Service (or designee); and

Note that any overlap in the designees is limited to a maximum of two of the five “quorum” members, i.e. a minimum of three of the five members listed above must participate in the bi-monthly meeting either in person or by phone. If there are time sensitive issues that need to be addressed, the CRO can address directly with the President / CEO and/or the COO / CFO outside of the regular meetings. For these discussions other Xxxxxxx participants will be included as appropriate.

Agendas for each RMC meeting are determined by its members. At any time, a member has the right to call a meeting by giving advance notice to the other members. A quorum must be present for any business of the RMC to take place. RMC actions may be approved by a positive vote from the Chief Risk Officer along with a simple majority vote of the quorum and shall be recorded in the minutes of the meeting. Minutes will be taken by the Secretary and distributed to Committee members and other appropriate personnel with a copy to be kept on file in the Legal Department. If the General Counsel or a designee is not a participant at the meeting, it is the responsibility of the Chief Risk Officer to take and distribute minutes from the meeting.

2.4

Chief Risk Officer

The Chief Risk Officer assists the RMC in fulfilling its responsibilities and serves management and the Board of Directors through the following risk control responsibilities:

Providing risk management oversight including identifying and classifying material risks facing the company;

Establishing uniform standards within the Company for risk assessment and measurement, including reporting requirements and valuation techniques (excluding valuation standards of acquisitions / investments which are the responsibility of the COO / CFO);

In addition to the Xxxxxxx organization and reporting structure, the Chief Risk Officer also has a direct reporting relationship to the Board of Directors. In this structure, the Chief Risk Officer has the ability to report any issues directly to the Board of Directors without additional Xxxxxxx review if the Chief Risk Officer considers it necessary.

2.5

Quantitative Analysis

The Supply / Trading and Marketing groups are expected to work with the Middle Office and Quantitative Analysis to develop report formats and methodologies for transaction valuation and risk measurement.

Privileged and Confidential -		12/5/2011

2.6

Credit Risk

The Credit Department is responsible for evaluating the creditworthiness of potential and existing transacting partners and establishing counterparty credit risk limits. Additional responsibilities include establishing credit risk measurement methodologies and monitoring counterparty credit exposure on a daily basis to ensure that counterparty credit limits are adhered to and utilized in a manner consistent with the Company’s risk tolerance. Refer to Xxxxxxx’x Credit Management Policy and related documentation for measurement, management and reporting of Credit Risks. The Credit function reports to Treasury.

2.7

Middle Office

The Middle Office provides a significant level of control and monitoring of the Front Office’s activities and, therefore, is independent of the Front Office, reporting to the Chief Risk Officer. The Middle Office function includes assuring data integrity through deal validation and executing the risk monitoring requirements authorized by the RMC. The important control areas and responsibilities include the following:

Collecting market data (prices, volatilities, interest rates, etc.) from independent sources for xxxx-to-market assessment;

Validating and modeling forward curves for all commodity exposures (market analysis);

A strong segregation of duties must exist between Trading/Marketing and Middle Office activities. The activities of the Middle Office do not replace the traders’ and marketers’ primary responsibility for assessing the risks associated with their positions and the timely and accurate recording of all transactions with written confirmations and/or on recorded phone lines in accordance with the Company’s Contract Administration and Confirmations procedures.

3. COMPLIANCE AND ENFORCEMENT

All corporate officers, members of the Supply and Trading groups, marketers involved with futures / forward transactions, Middle Office staff and managerial personnel in Back Office functions involved with risk management activities are required to sign the Risk Management Policy. Signing the Employee Confirmation form for this Risk Management Policy confirms that the employee has read and understands the risk controls and standards as they relate to Xxxxxxx’x Supply / Trading and Marketing business. Signing of new Employee Confirmations will be required whenever a significant update of the Risk Management Policy is completed. The CRO will work with the various applicable managers to ensure that all pertinent staff members meet this requirement.

Compliance with these standards is an employment requirement and will be considered in each individual’s overall performance evaluation. This includes the execution of day-to-day responsibilities by all personnel discussed as having energy risk management duties, as well as compliance with the Risk Management and Control Documents in their entirety. Any incidence of non-compliance with this Policy may be considered a violation, and subject to possible sanctions as outlined in Section 3.2.

3.1

Reporting Incidents of Non-Compliance

All incidents of non-compliance and misconduct are to be reported to the Chief Risk Officer as soon as practicable after the incidence of non-compliance is detected. Failure on the part of a leader to report an incidence of non-compliance by a direct report will itself be considered a violation. Such reports must document the reason why non-compliance occurred.

All violations will be reported to the Xxxxxxx President, COO / CFO, General Counsel and Senior Commercial Manager. In addition, they will be reported to the RMC. Those violations considered fraudulent, conscious, willful and/or intentional violation of Company Policy or Procedures are considered severe and must be communicated to the RMC immediately. Note that notification of the President, COO / CFO and General Counsel meets this RMC notification requirement. Examples of such violations are described in Section 3.2.2 below.

To the extent that the Chief Risk Officer does not feel that appropriate actions have been taken to correct violations, the Chief Risk Officer is obligated to communicate these concerns to the RMC. If the condition persists, the Chief Risk Officer should concurrently notify the Xxxxxxx President and the Board of Directors.

In the case of a credit risk limit violation, please refer to the Xxxxxxx’x Credit Management Policy Manual and related documentation.

3.2

Sanctions

Any violation of this Policy may result in an employees’ termination. Nothing contained in these Guidelines alters the At-Will employment relationship between an employee and the Company. The Management of Xxxxxxx may impose whatever sanction it deems necessary for a violation of this Policy up to and including termination. Lesser sanctions, such as those discussed in this section, are also available to management for use at Xxxxxxx Management’s discretion.

In cases where non-compliance with this Policy is reported, the RMC may use an independent party to determine whether the breakdown in compliance occurred, and collect any evidence as to who was aware of the non-compliance. A meeting would then be held with the employee’s supervisor prior to discussing the issue with RMC.

Xxxxxxx Operating Resources LLC Risk Management Policy


Privileged and Confidential -		12/5/2011

The Supply / Trading and Marketing Officers and Chief Risk Officer (“Management”) are responsible for imposing sanctions on their respective personnel for instances of non-compliance, considering recommendations by Human Resources and the Legal Department. The Chief Risk Officer will inform the Xxxxxxx President, COO / CFO, and General Counsel of all instances of non-compliance and the planned sanctions. If there is a disagreement with the planned sanctions, the Chief Risk Officer will coordinate a discussion leading to agreement on the sanctions to be put in place. The outcome of the transaction or situation is not relevant to the determination of sanctions or disciplines. Following are examples of sanctions that could be used.

3.2.1

Examples of Sanctions

Examples of possible sanctions include, but are not limited to the following:

Verbal counseling to employee by supervisory personnel. A record of such counseling will be maintained in the employee’s personnel file and consideration given during annual performance evaluation process;

4.	VALUATION, RISK MEASUREMENT AND CONTROL

4.1

Valuation Frequency

The Middle Office performs daily valuation of the Company’s Supply portfolios by marking-to-market each transaction. The valuation of those transactions that are difficult to value or are valued outside of the Risk Management and Trading Systems may be estimated for daily purposes. Such transactions must be valued at least weekly. A list of all transactions that reside outside of the Risk Management and Trading Systems will be distributed by the Middle Office Manager on a monthly basis to the Chief Risk Officer, Supply / Trading and Marketing Officers, Trading Leaders and Chief Financial Officer / Chief Operating Officer. An example of a transaction that would fit into this category is a financial derivative whose price is not readily available from standard publications or other industry sources. A digital (a.k.a. binary) option with no published pricing would be a specific example.

4.2

Valuation Data Sources

Data used for xxxx-to-market calculations must be accurate and consistent. All price and volatility information should be taken at approximately the same time of day (e.g.., close of day), preferably from a public data source. If such information must be provided by the Front Office, it will be periodically audited or checked by the Middle Office against the most readily available reasonable proxy.

4.3

Valuation Reserves

Market valuation reserves represent adjustments to estimates of value in order to arrive at an amount that reflects fair market value. Reserves may be required for positions in illiquid markets or for cases where subjective estimates are required. In such cases an appropriate valuation reserve will be made considering bid/ask spreads in nearby markets, the number of players in a given market, etc. Valuation reserves may also be required for complex transactions to consider fully the future costs required in fulfilling the obligations of the transaction.

A form of valuation reserve is the Credit Reserve which is intended to provide a cushion to protect against losses that may be incurred from the insolvency or default of a trading counterparty. Refer to Xxxxxxx’x Credit Policy and related documentation for more information.

The establishment of valuation reserves will be determined by the Chief Risk Officer in conjunction with the Chief Operating Officer / Chief Financial Officer.

4.4

Portfolio Definitions

All transactions will be assigned to one of eight portfolios:

1) Natural Gas

a) Supply / Trading

System Supply

ii)

System Optimization

iii)

Discretionary

b) Marketing

2) Refined Products

a) Supply / Trading

Xxxxxxx Operating Resources LLC Risk Management Policy


Privileged and Confidential -		12/5/2011

System Supply

ii)

System Optimization

iii)

Discretionary

b) Marketing

System Supply Portfolios: System supply transactions arise from Xxxxxxx’x management of the volume and underlying price risk associated with its inventory and/or marketing obligations. Included in this category are: Inventory; Throughputs; Exchanges; 3^rd Party Storage; Purchases, Sales; Buy/Sell Transactions; Transportation Agreements and In-house transactions to balance the Marketing Portfolios. Also included in the system supply portfolio are the related financial xxxxxx and forward spread transactions that are used to “pre-roll” inventory or as precursors to subsequent “summerfill” transactions.

System Optimization Portfolios: The system optimization portfolios include a range of financial and physical transactions that are used to fine tune system operations and performance. Included in this category can be financial transaction types such as futures, swaps and options or physical activity such as volumes transported by pipeline from the U.S. Gulf Coast. These transactions can be done on either a stand-alone basis or in combinations such as spreads that result in a net balanced volume position. An example would be a Gulf Coast swap transaction put in place with the opportunity to lower the cost on an expected future product delivery requirement. Currently, the System Optimization Portfolio is only relevant for oil transactions, though if the natural gas system (e.g. inventory) grows substantially in the future, there may be a justification to isolate the system supply and optimization portfolio in natural gas also.

Discretionary Portfolios: Transactions and positions taken in anticipation of profiting from a market view. In general, this is a limited activity at Xxxxxxx with no discretionary trading currently undertaken in support of the natural gas business and modest discretionary activity for oil. As discussed above, there are various transactions undertaken to procure and optimize oil supplies. There will remain some modest volume imbalances, however, since the daily xxxxxx are based on projected sales. In addition to these modest imbalances, there may be some other positions taken within the specified position limits that are not intended as part of a system or hedging requirement. These discretionary positions can be characterized in two high level categories:

•

Outright positions, i.e. net positions that result in an unbalanced position. Although Xxxxxxx tracks the outright positions on a daily basis, it handles long and short positions differently when identifying discretionary outright positions.

•

Xxxxxxx has ongoing sales requirements as part of its sales activities. As long as the outright long position remains within the risk limits (maximum of 500 KB or 500 NYMEX contract equivalents for oil and 250 NYMEX contract equivalents for natural gas), this position is not considered discretionary, as expected sales requirements can readily consume this volume in a relatively short time period. Consistent with our understanding of tax regulations, these outright long positions are considered part of Xxxxxxx’x system / system optimization requirements.

•

In contrast, outright short positions can be discretionary. If Xxxxxxx is going to take a short discretionary position, the transaction(s) are identified as discretionary on the day the positions are taken. The profitability associated with these positions will be tracked separately as discretionary until the positions are closed out.

•

In addition to the discretionary short position trades undertaken as a specific strategy, there can be modest short volume imbalances due primarily to the projected daily sales not meeting actual customer volume requirements. These resultant positions will not be part of the discretionary portfolio, as any discretionary trades will be

Xxxxxxx Operating Resources LLC Risk Management Policy


Privileged and Confidential -		12/5/2011

identified as such on the day the transactions are undertaken. For oil, Xxxxxxx’x approach to assess any short imbalances is to separate the refined products outright positions into three categories, i.e. distillates, gasolines, and heavy oils (primarily residual fuels). For each of these three groups, an allowable operating tolerance of 100,000 barrels is allowed. If this operating tolerance is exceeded on any day (again noting that each product group is treated separately), then Xxxxxxx will take all reasonable commercial steps to promptly balance the position within the tolerance levels, with an expectation that this balancing will generally occur by the close of the next business day. However, if it isn’t practical to balance the positions during the next business day due to market conditions or other factors, up to three business days is allowed to get the short positions within the defined operating tolerances. All positions that are part of this operating tolerance will remain part of the system / system optimization portfolios as originally classified.

•

Other discretionary oil positions are ones that are not associated with either the system supply or system optimization portfolios. As an example, a crack spread (net balanced position between crude oil and refined products such as RBOB and / or heating oil) would generally not be part of a system requirement and would be considered discretionary. Again, these positions will be specifically identified as a discretionary position on the day the trade is undertaken.

•

As indicated, there are no new discretionary natural gas positions now being taken, with the exception of ones associated with a small legacy leased storage position in the U.S. Gulf Coast. Since there are no new discretionary positions, the full natural gas Supply / Trading portfolio is used when comparing positions with the specified limits. Although no discretionary natural gas positions are taken the positions are still tracked on a daily basis. If an outright short position inadvertently exceeds 100 NYMEX contract equivalents on any day, the same general approach as used for oil will be used to balance the position within the operating tolerance. Again, the expectation is that the position will be brought within the 100 contract tolerance by the close of the next business day, with a maximum of three business days allowed to meet this requirement.

Marketing Portfolios: The marketing portfolio houses all transactions associated with the Company’s marketing directly to its customers. Transactions in this portfolio include both the direct obligation to the customer as well as the hedging transactions (in-house transactions between Supply and Marketing) to maintain a balanced portfolio. The residual volume and price exposure of the marketing portfolio will be a reflection of any mismatch of the customized wholesale products, which the marketing customers require, and the standardized products available in the wholesale market for hedging. These positions will be minimal and only tracked for internal purposes, as the reported results are consolidated at the Refined Products and Natural Gas levels.

4.5

Market Risk Limits

The market risk measurement methodologies described in this section are the agreed methods for measuring and assessing market risk by the RMC. Such methodologies will be used to ensure that all significant sources of market risk are identified, quantified and reported. Furthermore, the Company has established a risk limit system consistent with the Company’s risk management philosophy as defined in section 1.2.

The aggregate limit for the amount of risk to be incurred by Xxxxxxx Resources, and the broad structure of the limits is approved by the Board of Directors. The allocation of the aggregate limit to the business units and the structure of more specific limits are approved by the RMC. The Supply / Trading and Marketing Officers determine the further allocation of risk limits across trading and marketing books.

If any of the aggregate limits of the Senior Commercial / Trading Managers are exceeded without obtaining a waiver prior to the breach, a violation occurs and the Chief Risk Officer or designee will notify the

Xxxxxxx Operating Resources LLC Risk Management Policy


Privileged and Confidential -		12/5/2011

President and COO / CFO. Based on this discussion, the Chief Risk Officer will determine whether to convene a special meeting of the total RMC or a subset of this group to discuss a course of action with the appropriate senior commercial / trading manager(s). Depending on the results of this discussion, a determination will be made regarding any specific steps to cure the violation, either by getting the position within the approved limits (typically within the next day) or by obtaining a waiver from the President/CEO up to his control limit. As long as the aggregate level remains under the Xxxxxxx President’s limit, there is no requirement that specific actions be taken to adjust the position, though a waiver must always be granted until the position is brought within limits. System Supply and System Optimization activities (refer to Portfolio Definitions above) that are considered necessary to mitigate risk and/or meet obligations can also continue without restriction. If the losses exceed the President’s limit, the Board of Directors must also be notified. Depending on the Board of Directors response, actions may or may not be required. Any violation beyond the President/CEO’s limit must be cured by the next day unless authorization is provided by the AJI Board of Directors’ President or designee.

The following table summarizes the limit authorizations that are required and reporting frequency/responsibility:


Limit Structure	Approved By	Reporting Responsibility	Reporting Frequency

Position Limits	Board of Directors	Middle Office	Daily

Stop Loss Limit *	Board of Directors	Middle Office	Daily

Value-at-Risk*	Board of Directors	Middle Office	Daily

Specific Portfolio Limits	RMC	Middle Office	Daily

Credit Limits	Board of Directors	Director of Credit	Daily

*	Discretionary and system optimization trading only

4.6

Position Limits

The oil position limits are divided into outright positions, as well as a range of spread and individual position limits. The outright position limits refers to the net risk position, i.e. includes all physical and financial (e.g. futures and swaps) positions. Examples of outright oil positions would include the following:

•

Exchange transactions, such as Heating Oil, Gasoil, RBOB, Natural Gas, and WTI;

•

Over-the-Counter (OTC) swaps positions; and

•

Cash (physical) positions.

The outright positions for both oil and natural gas are measured on a daily basis, with the limits in place applying to the total portfolio, i.e. the combination of system supply, system optimization and discretionary positions. All of the other position limits in place apply to the combination of the system optimization and discretionary portfolios.

As per of the determination of the positions, Xxxxxxx defines “standard” hedging products. In general, basis refers to the price differential between the cash or spot price of a commodity and the price of the nearest month futures or swaps contract. Basis may reflect different time periods, qualities or locations. Consistent with common market practice, for the oil business Xxxxxxx uses basis to refer to quality differences. As indicated below, Xxxxxxx treats location spreads for oil separate from basis (quality). Note that for the natural gas business, basis typically refers to location, since quality differences are generally not pertinent.

Xxxxxxx Operating Resources LLC Risk Management Policy


Privileged and Confidential -		12/5/2011

Similar to the oil location spreads, Xxxxxxx treats system positions with potential basis exposure differently than discretionary positions. Xxxxxxx generally runs a balanced book with the system positions largely hedged with what is considered to be the most appropriate trading instrument. The current “base” hedging instruments are as indicated below, recognizing that they may change in the future depending on product availability and considerations such as liquidity.


Oil Product Group		Base Hedging Instrument

Gasolines		NYMEX RBOB futures contract*

Ethanol		NYMEX RBOB future contract or CBOT ethanol futures contract*

Distillates		NYMEX Heating Oil (HO) futures contract*

Fuel Oils		NYH 1% Sulfur Residual Fuel Oil Swaps

*	Could also use comparable swaps contracts

There is no basis spread recorded for any system position hedged with the base hedging instrument. For fuel oil there can also periodically be a strong rationale to use an alternative instrument such as Gulf Coast 3% sulfur fuel oil swaps or crude oil (either WTI or Xxxxx futures or swaps) as a hedge. These instruments could be preferred due to considerations such as liquidity or quality differences. If these alternative instruments are used as a hedge then a cross commodity as well as a location spread (if applicable) is recorded for the position Note, however, that up to 500,000 barrels of residual fuel oil can be hedged with crude oil without counting against the approved cross commodity and location spread limits. Any positions beyond this 500,000 barrel limit would count against the pertinent position limits.

Spreads are defined as offsetting positions which net to a balanced overall position. Although the positions offset, there can still be substantial exposure. As indicated, the oil spread position limits apply to the system optimization and discretionary trading portfolios, i.e. any activities associated with the system supply portfolio are not subject to these additional spread limits. The most notable system supply example for Xxxxxxx is the use of forward (a.k.a. deferred) spreads when the heating oil market is in a contango or carry structure. These spreads are completed in anticipation of a subsequent filling of a corresponding volume of oil inventory in the tanks, frequently called summerfill. When the oil is purchased to put in the tanks, the long position of the spread can be closed out, with the remaining short position acting as the hedge on the physical inventory. Another example of a system transaction is a “pre-roll” of the distillate inventory hedge. As indicated earlier, Xxxxxxx operates with a substantially balanced book, with the inventory hedged within limited tolerances. For light oil products, the base assumption is that inventory is hedged with the prompt month NYMEX position of the most appropriate oil commodity (see table above). As an example, during the month of December, the base distillate inventory hedge would be a corresponding volume of January NYMEX heating oil contracts. Since these January NYMEX contracts would expire at the end of December, it is necessary to exit the positions prior to month-end. The exit from these contracts is generally accomplished by either closing the position if the hedge volume is no longer needed or “rolling” it to the next month, e.g. in this case purchasing the short January contract(s) and selling a corresponding volume of February contract(s). This process whereby the prompt month xxxxxx are “rolled” to the next month prior to expiration is considered part of the requisite system activity and the positions are included in the System Supply portfolio.

There can also be strong incentive to “pre-roll” an inventory hedge beyond the next month. For example, if the inter-month price spreads appear attractive, a pre-roll can either lock in a gain (when in contango) or limit a loss (when in backwardation) to what is considered an acceptable level. Xxxxxxx can pursue this strategy depending on the current and expected market conditions. Since these pre-rolls are pursued in

Xxxxxxx Operating Resources LLC Risk Management Policy


Privileged and Confidential -		12/5/2011

support of the system requirements, they are also included in the System Supply positions. The position limits recognize this pre-roll option up to a maximum of three million barrels (President’s limit) and up to two additional months forward beyond the prompt month roll. Based on the example cited in the paragraph above, the January inventory hedge could be pre-rolled up to April and be considered a system supply pre-roll rather than a system optimization position. Any pre-roll beyond this time frame is considered part of the System Optimization portfolio and subject to the additional position limits imposed on the combination Discretionary plus System Optimization positions.

Note that the pre-rolls are in concept quite similar to the forward spreads discussed above. A key difference is that the pre-rolls refer to positions where the “long” side of the spread is a cash position rather than a forward month paper position.

The oil spread limits on the combination Discretionary plus System Optimization positions are divided into four categories, again with potential positions on the exchanges, OTC, or cash markets:

•

Time spreads, i.e. based on the same commodity in different time periods;

•

Location or geographical spreads, based on the same or similar (e.g. heating oil and gasoil are considered similar) commodity in different locations;

•

Basis spreads, based on a spread between the same or similar physical commodity and futures or swaps contract; and

•

Cross Commodity spreads, based on different commodities, e.g. heating oil / crude oil positions or a heating oil / natural gas spread. Note that if residual fuel oil is hedged with crude oil (WTI or Xxxxx), no cross commodity spread is calculated as these instruments can be the preferred hedge instrument due to liquidity or other considerations.

Option trading is approved for exchange (NYMEX or ICE) and OTC options for Oil Supply / Trading. Natural Gas Supply / Trading has natural gas options trading approval, though only for system transactions.

The Oil group is authorized to trade natural gas cross commodity spreads, though only as part of a hedge. As an example, a residual fuel oil / natural gas spread trade could be used to “lock in” the economics of a capital project designed to convert fuel usage from residual fuel to natural gas. This type of transaction would be measured as part of the system trading portfolio, though would need to be specifically documented as such.

In addition to the total oil spread limits, Xxxxxxx recognizes individual spread position limits on the System Optimization plus Discretionary positions. These limits are put in place to help recognize that concentration in individual spread positions can carry additional risk compared to a more diversified portfolio.

Similar to many other companies, Xxxxxxx aggregates all forward natural gas market risk into high level components for position management and hedging purposes. This approach groups positions with similar risk profiles to establish market exposure. The position limits are based on this breakdown:

•

Fixed Position: All forward positions containing risk that is impacted by the settlement of the NYMEX Natural Gas contract. This risk can be offset using NYMEX Natural Gas futures or OTC look-alike instruments;

•

Basis Positions: Forward positions that contain risk impacted by the location differential between a published index point and the NYMEX natural gas futures settlement; and

•

Index Positions: Forward physical positions and swaps that are priced relative to a published index, e.g. Platts IFERC.

The Company utilizes VaR limits (see section 4.8), but not as the sole measure and control of market risk. In both oil and natural gas, the VaR limits are based on the system optimization plus discretionary positions only (i.e. system supply excluded). Note that the oil book can have a large system position due to the substantial physical infrastructure. The VaR associated with the oil system may not be routinely calculated, though the overall market risks are primarily monitored through the use of items such as the outright and

Xxxxxxx Operating Resources LLC Risk Management Policy


Privileged and Confidential -		12/5/2011

basis positions, inventory levels, forward sales commitments and the product mix distribution. VaR limits are supplemented with additional risk measures and position limits with respect to particular strategies and commodities. These can include duration (tenor) limits, and limits related to specific stress tests. The structure of specific market risk limits for oil and natural gas is presented in EXHIBIT 3. In addition, the Company monitors the trends in the VaR values to help assess any major changes in the level of market risk in place. The Middle Office can propose additional or alternative limits as appropriate. Any changes which potentially increase the level of overall risk will require approval by the Board of Directors.

4.7

Stop Loss Limits

For the Oil Supply / Trading business areas, an aggregate threshold is set on cumulative margin losses for the combination of System Optimization and Discretionary positions on a monthly basis. The System Supply activities that directly support the oil system (primarily Xxxxxxx-owned terminals) requirements are not subject to a daily VaR limit. In contrast, the complete Natural Gas Supply / Trading positions are part of the daily VaR calculation, as they essentially represent the existing imbalances that exist within the daily position balancing activities, since there are no specific discretionary positions taken. For the purposes of the above thresholds, losses (or reserves) due to a counterparty’s failure to perform will be excluded. Both realized losses and unrealized (“xxxx to market”) losses in the Supply / Trading portfolios will be taken into account when computing the cumulative loss.

For purposes of the threshold, the losses will begin to accumulate on the first day of a calendar month. A net loss from the prior calendar month will be carried forward and added to the current month’s losses. However, gains in the prior calendar month will not carry forward to the current month for stop loss purposes. After a month occurs with a positive margin, all carryforward losses from prior months for this calculation will be reset to zero. In addition, the carryforward losses from prior months are reset to zero following any month when a Stop Loss limit is breached (i.e. a MAT occurs).

In an instance when the aggregate Stop Loss limit exceeds the President’s authority level, the Chief Risk Officer will also notify the AJI President on the background of the losses and any remedial actions.

4.8

Value at Risk Limits

In the Oil Supply area, Xxxxxxx currently applies a $1.5 million daily “Value-at-Risk” (VaR) metric to the combination of the System Optimization and Discretionary portfolios. This limit is based on a 95% confidence interval and a one-day holding period to calculate daily VaR. The Natural Gas Supply group uses a $0.75 million daily VaR for its daily Natural Gas Supply/ Trading positions, again based on a 95% confidence interval and a one-day holding period. The System Supply activities that support the Oil business (primarily Xxxxxxx-owned terminals) requirements are not subject to a daily VaR limit. In contrast, the complete Natural Gas Supply / Trading positions are part of the daily VaR calculation, as they simply represent the existing imbalances that exist within the daily position balancing activities, since there are no discretionary positions taken. If there are any instances where the daily VaR calculation is unavailable, the Middle Office will rely on the previous calculation and also consider the approximate impact of any major position or market price changes when assessing VaR compared to the approved limit.

4.9

Credit Limits

Credit limits are established and approved as per the standard Xxxxxxx Credit Management Policy and processes.

6.	CONTROL PROCESSES

6.1

Management Reporting

The Board of Directors may request periodic reports prepared by the Chief Risk Officer which indicate the levels of risk being undertaken by the Company, the degree of compliance with policies, procedures and limits, and the financial performance of the various physical and financial transacting activities.

In addition, internal or external audit reports covering the Supply / Trading and Marketing and/or Risk Management functions may be reviewed by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and, based upon their review significant issues of concern should be drawn to the attention of the Board of Directors.

EXHIBIT 6 summarizes standard reports to be produced, their frequency, responsibility for production, and distribution.

6.2

Off-Premises / After Hours Transactions

All Natural Gas and Oil Supply Traders and Schedulers are granted authority to complete transactions within their normal course of business outside of the office and outside of normal business hours. This authority can also be extended to specific Oil Marketers or Traders that would regularly conduct futures / forward transactions outside of normal business hours. It is the responsibility of the specific employee to ensure that all transactions are entered into the appropriate commercial system as soon as practical, in all cases expected by at least the end of the next business day.

If a trader or marketer who does not fit into the category identified above and is not normally authorized to transact off-premises or after hours, he/she must receive pre-authorization from his/her Trading Leader. The Trading Leader will grant such authorization on a case by case basis and document the specific exception to this procedure.

6.3

Confirmations

The use of written confirmations and/or other appropriate documentation such as e-mail or other on-line communication tools are generally used to confirm transactions, supported if available by recorded phone lines. Exceptions must be approved and documented by the responsible Trading Leader and reported to the Chief Risk Officer. Unless there is an appropriate reason for an exception, the standard protocol is for the signed confirmations from 3^rd-parties to be sent to the Contract Administration group.

6.4

Personal Accounts

Traders must not engage in trading any of the commodities listed in EXHIBIT 1 outside of their responsibilities at Xxxxxxx Energy Corp. This policy does not restrict trading of other instruments such as equities, equity options or non-approved commodities and related trading instruments. It also does not restrict trading in funds that utilize commodities in their portfolio of assets.

6.5

7.	PROCESSES FOR NEW PRODUCTS, NON-STANDARD TRANSACTIONS, AND ELECTRONIC TRADING SYSTEMS

7.1

New Product

7.1.1

Definition of New Product

A New Product is defined as any physical or financial transaction or exposure that: 1) is not listed on EXHIBIT 1: APPROVED PRODUCTS LIST; or 2) exposes Xxxxxxx to risks (e.g., Market, Liquidity, Credit, Operational, Legal, Regulatory, Accounting, Tax) to which the Company has not been previously exposed. Exposure to pre-existing approved risk types in significantly different ways (e.g., significantly different geographic location, market structure, or contract terms) would also constitute a New Product. For example, trading refined products in Singapore would constitute a new geographic location, which would require review through the new product process. Note that although adding a new customer always exposes the company to new credit risk, this stand-alone activity does not constitute a new product. An example form that can be used by the sponsor of a new product is included as EXHIBIT 4.

The APPROVED PRODUCTS LIST as shown in EXHIBIT 1 is separated into Oil, Natural Gas, and Materials Handling. In addition to the general listing of the products, more detailed matrices are included in ATTACHMENTS 2 through 5. The oil and gas product matrices in ATTACHMENTS 3 and 4 list approved instruments by trader or marketer. The approved Materials Handling products matrix in ATTACHMENT 5 is shown by terminal and based on products that have been previously, are currently, or are now under consideration for handling at specific terminals.

7.1.2

New Product Objectives

The Supply / Trading and Marketing Officers are responsible for identifying the exposures of New Products and services and ensuring that the following objectives have been met:

The risks and rewards associated with the product or service are identified, analyzed and understood;

Any conflicts or overlaps with existing business are identified and evaluated in relation to the new product or service before proceeding;

The necessary support and control infrastructure can be put in place in a timely manner to permit smooth and well-controlled operation; and

The pace of expansion is consistent with the capacity to measure, monitor and manage the associated risks.

The responsible Supply / Trading and Marketing Leader will review and consider these and other pertinent issues. If, in his/her opinion, the request meets the stated objectives and is consistent with the Company’s stated business vision and strategies, the Supply / Trading and Marketing Leader will request approval identifying the type of information included in the example New Product Approval Form (EXHIBIT 4). The Chief Risk Officer will perform a high level review of the New Product request to determine if the proposed New Product is not covered on the Approved Products list and needs to go through the New Product Process. As part of this review the CRO will discuss with the President and/or the COO / CFO as deemed necessary. The guidelines defined below will be used if the proposed product needs to go through a formal New Product Approval process.

Xxxxxxx Operating Resources LLC Risk Management Policy


Privileged and Confidential -		12/5/2011

7.1.3

New Product Approval Process

The appropriate Supply / Trading and Marketing Officer will sponsor any New Product request. Once the sponsor has reviewed the request and desires to proceed with a formal review and request for approval, it is the responsibility of the Supply / Trading and Marketing Officer and the Chief Risk Officer to coordinate the New Product Approval process.

The following departments will generally be required to review and understand the New Product request, though in some cases the Chief Risk Officer may determine that the review of a specific department(s) is not required. Each department will be required to identify any concerns and, where appropriate, identify necessary changes to address those concerns in order to accommodate the new product:

Credit

Legal

Tax

Accounting (financial accounting, operations accounting, invoicing/billing, tax)

Contract Administration

Trading Leader(s)

Operations (logistics, scheduling, nominations)

Treasury

Insurance

Middle Office

Operations

Health, Safety, and Environmental

If a representative of these departments has concerns with the New Product, these concerns must be communicated to the sponsor of the transaction and the Chief Risk Officer. Among the information that may be required on the New Product Approval request are the following items:

Product overview, features, benefits to Xxxxxxx (including target market, expected/upside/downside scenarios);

Start-up costs (infrastructure/system changes, new hires, licenses, collateral);

Description of risks (types of market risks, types of credit risks, etc.), measurement and reporting methods and required controls;

Proposed limit structure (e.g. volumetric, tenor, VaR, stress, other);

Source(s) of physical supply, where applicable;

Transportation and/or storage requirements, where applicable;

Target market, list of potential counterparties;

Credit issues;

Xxxxxxx Operating Resources LLC Risk Management Policy


Privileged and Confidential -		12/5/2011

Legal issues;

Tax issues;

Regulatory issues;

Credit support requirements (guarantee, L/C, Collateral);

Liquidity issues (including cash requirements);

Hedging strategy; and

Exit strategy.

The responsibility for initially suggesting appropriate risk measurement methodologies, limits and controls (collectively referred to as “parameters”) for a New Product lies with the New Product sponsor. The New Product sponsor and the Chief Risk Officer will then review their understanding of the risks, rewards, related assumptions and appropriate limits. If the sponsor and the CRO are in agreement and all pertinent departments have reviewed and agreed to the New Product, it is approved subject to concurrence by the President and COO / CFO. The CRO will ensure that the President and COO / CFO are informed and in conjunction with the sponsor address any questions or concerns. Following approval by the President and COO / CFO, the product becomes part of the Approved Products list. Once the product and any pertinent parameters have been approved, the Chief Risk Officer should ensure that they are appropriately considered in report formats, as well as transaction recording processes and valuation methodologies. Some examples of offerings that would normally constitute a New Product consistent with the definition above include:

•

A marketing product that exposes the company to a different set of market risks, e.g. Oil Marketing’s Heat Curve and Free Range products were new products when first introduced. Similarly, the Natural Gas Accelerated Collar product was a new product when introduced; and

•

A Materials Handling product to be handled at a terminal that is dissimilar to past Materials Handling experience.

Ultimate responsibility for verification that risks have been identified and, mitigated where appropriate, rests with the Chief Risk Officer. This new product requirement is only required when the product in question is not part of the current portfolio, e.g., is not required when new marketing products are added that are simply different blends of existing grades in inventory or minor variations due to changing product quality regulations. Materials Handling products that are comparable to ones previously or currently handled also do not need to go through the new product approval process. In addition, if a new product is added to Xxxxxxx’x portfolio via an acquisition or other third-party mechanism (joint venture, etc.), a specific new product approval process is not required. For these situations, the new products will be evaluated as part of the transaction process.

7.2

Non-Standard Transaction

7.2.1

Definition of Non-Standard Transaction

A “Non-Standard transaction” will include multiple classes of transactions for which approval will be required before execution. The various classes of transactions falling into this category will be as follows:

All transactions with tenor greater than: contract length of 24 months or position duration of 32 months;

Xxxxxxx Operating Resources LLC Risk Management Policy


Privileged and Confidential -		12/5/2011

Transactions which are outside the authority levels of the Trading Leader(s); and / or

Transactions that cannot be automatically captured in Company’s Trading and Risk Management System(s).

Examples of non-standard transactions would include:

•

Natural Gas Supply Transportation deal covering five year period;

•

Individual discretionary location spread position in Oil Supply of over 400 KB; and

•

Transaction requiring xxxx-to-model approach (i.e. does not have transparent arms-length pricing mechanism) to provide daily valuations.

Transactions that hedge the initial non-standard transaction do not require explicit approval as long as the hedge is within the established credit and market risk limits. Other transactions that are excluded from this category include Material Handling deals (where tenor frequently exceeds the limits indicated above) and bid opportunities covering longer time periods that obtain Senior Management approval via an explicit bid process.

7.2.2

Non-Standard Transaction Approval Process

Any trader or marketer seeking approval for a non-standard transaction will be required to notify his/her Trading Leader or Market Leader. Once the responsible Trading Leader or Market Leader concurs that they wish to submit the Non-Standard Transaction for approval, either the Trading Leader or Market Leader must notify the Chief Risk Officer. Note that the CRO can also be notified directly by the trader or marketer. Depending on the details of the proposed transaction, the Chief Risk Officer will determine what additional information and review is required. The appropriate Middle Office Manager will coordinate the Non-Standard Transaction Approval process as necessary in conjunction with the Chief Risk Officer.

The requirements for assessment can vary from simply obtaining concurrence from the person(s) with the appropriate authority level, e.g. the Xxxxxxx President or the AJI President to completing a more detailed analysis. The Chief Risk Officer will coordinate the approval process. For the opportunities that require detailed analysis, the Middle Office Manager, in conjunction with the Senior Quantitative Analyst, will provide a high level risk and valuation assessment while the following departments will be included on an as needed basis as determined by the Chief Risk Officer:

Credit

Legal

Tax

Accounting

Contract Administration

Trading Leader(s)

Operations (logistics, scheduling, nominations)

Treasury

Insurance

Xxxxxxx Operating Resources LLC Risk Management Policy


Privileged and Confidential -		12/5/2011

Middle Office

Operations

Health, Safety, and Environmental

If concerns arise from representatives of these departments, they should be communicated immediately to the Non-Standard Transaction Sponsor and the Chief Risk Officer or Middle Office Manager. Types of information that may be required to complete the Non-Standard Transaction evaluation include:

Critical terms (term, price, volume, location, etc.)

Description of transaction

Notional value

Cash flow analysis

Source of physical supply

Counterparty details

Credit issues

Legal issues

Transmission or transportation requirements

Effect on position limits

Tax issues

Regulatory issues

Liquidity issues (including cash requirements)

Hedging strategy

Exit strategy

Separate risk limits required

If concerns arise that cannot be resolved in a timely manner, the Supply / Trading and Marketing Officer and Chief Risk Officer will attempt to find a resolution and either: 1) proceed with the transaction; or 2) deny the request. Ultimate responsibility for determination that material issues have been adequately addressed rests with the Chief Risk Officer.

7.2.3

Electronic Trading Systems

Contract Administration shall coordinate the review and approval of new electronic trading systems by the Front Office. This approval will be granted following review of the business case (developed by the Front Office) and the control issues associated with the specific product. This process will include review by the Credit, Contracts and Legal departments, as well as the responsible Trading Leader(s), IT and the Middle Office Manager. Once approved for use by the Front Office, the Credit department will be responsible for maintaining control of the approved counterparty list and trading limits on electronic systems. Procedures for the use of Electronic Trading Systems will be maintained in the Front Office.

EXHIBIT 2 — PRODUCT DEFINITIONS


	Note that the following definitions are in some cases in reference to specific Xxxxxxx offerings / terminology and are not considered general industry definitions

Accelerated Collar:	Specific product offered by Natural Gas to its customers. Product is more complex than a standard collar deal (see below), providing the customer upside price protection and downside price participation with potential discounts to the market price.

Basis:	Differential between the cash or spot price of a commodity and the price of the nearest futures contract. Basis may reflect different time periods, qualities / grades, or locations.

	•	Natural Gas Basis: Generally refers to location differences, i.e. the price of natural gas at a physical location less the prompt month natural gas futures contract.

	•	Oil Basis: Generally refers to quality / grade and possibly location differences, typically the price of the physical commodity less the prompt month of the most similar futures contract.

Basis Swap:	A contract in which two parties exchange cash flows linked to the difference between the price of a specific quantity of commodities at a particular physical location or quality / grade and the price of the same quantity of commodities on an organized exchange at a different physical location or of a different quality/grade.

Cap:	Contract which has a maximum price. This is generally purchased by customers that want the opportunity to benefit from expected future price declines, though want to limit their exposure to future price increases.

Collar:	Contract where the buyer is guaranteed a maximum price and the seller a minimum price. These transactions are supported by purchase and sale of options positions. A Costless Collar is where buying and selling respectively the related Call and Put are used to finance the Collar.

Downside Protection:	Contract designed to allow the customer to benefit from declining market prices. Xxxxxxx generally completes an option transaction(s) to limit the risk associated with this offering.

E-commerce	Contract offered by Oil Marketing whereby the customer purchases oil either on a prompt or forward basis via an electronic platform.

EFP *	A transaction in which two parties agree to exchange a specified amount of futures contracts for the same physical quantity of commodities, with the price of the commodities determined by reference to the market price of the futures.

Forward:	Contract that commits a party to buying or selling a specific quantity of commodities at a price specified at the origination of the contract, with delivery and settlement at a specified future date and location.

Futures:	A standardized Forward that is traded on a domestically regulated organized exchange such as the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) or Intercontinental Exchange (ICE).

Heat Curve:	Contract offered by Oil Marketing whereby the customer purchases a specified volume of heating oil over several forward months, with the monthly volume distribution reflecting the typical seasonal demand pattern.

Index:	Published price that is intended to represent the market price for that particular commodity and location for the specified time period. Different pricing services used different methodologies to establish their pricing indices.

*	Exchange of Futures for Physical

Privileged and Confidential -		12/5/2011

EXHIBIT 2 — PRODUCT DEFINITIONS (CONT.)


Index Swap:	This contract essentially represents a combination of a fixed for floating swap and basis swap, with the floating component being an index price.

Option:	A contract that gives the purchaser (holder) the right, but not the obligation, to buy (call) or sell (put) a specific quantity of commodities at an agreed-on price, during a specified period or at a specified date. There are a range of option settlement alternatives, including:

	•	American Option: Option which may be exercised at any time during its lifetime, up to and including the expiration date.

	•	Asian Option: Option whose payoff depends on an average of prices for the underlying commodity over a period of time, rather than the price of the commodity on a single date. The averaging period may correspond to the entire life of the option, or may be shorter.

	•	European Option: Option which may only be exercised on its expiration date.

Over-the-Counter:	Trading of financial instruments such as commodities or derivatives directly between two parties. Regulations are more limited for OTC transactions compared to trades completed on an organized exchange.

Prompt:	Contract offered by Oil Marketing for a specified volume of oil to be lifted over a short time period (e.g. maximum of 10 days).

Rack:	Oil Marketing transaction where customer purchases oil on a non-delivered basis at a terminal loading facility or “rack”.

Spread:	Transaction that involves a corresponding purchase and sale with volumes that offset to a net zero position.

Spread Option:	Option written on the differential between the prices of two commodities, e.g.,

	A.	Basis (location) Spread: Based on the difference between the prices of the same commodity at two different locations. As indicated above, this basis definition is largely used in for natural gas transactions;

	B.	Calendar or Time Spread: Based on the difference between the price of the same commodity at two different points in time;

	C.	Processing Spread: Based on the difference between the price of inputs to, and outputs from, a production process (e.g. a crack spread);

	D.	Quality or Grade Spread: Based on the difference between the prices of different grades of the same commodity.

Swap:	A contract by which the parties agree to exchange one product for another. The products can be either physical or financial. A common type of swap is the fixed for floating swap, which can include various alternatives such as futures, basis, index, and swing swaps.

Swing Option:	Option which grants the right to take more or less of a specified commodity. The opportunity to swing up is effectively a call option on the commodity specified in the contract, and the opportunity to swing down is a put option on the commodity, subject to obligations to take certain quantities over the entire life of the contract.

Swing Swap:	Refers to a gas contract that is based on a fixed-for-floating index swap that references an average of daily prices. This is generally used for interruptible gas contracts.

Trigger:	A physical transaction that is priced at a differential to a futures or swap contract where the price can be locked in or “triggered” at a later date.

EXHIBIT 2 — PRODUCT DEFINITIONS (CONT.)


UGD:		Unpriced Guaranteed Differential contract offered by Oil Marketing. In this contract, the customer agrees to purchase a specified volume of oil at an agreed to price differential compared to a specified futures contract price(s). The customer fixes (see trigger) the price of the futures component of the price at some point prior to expiration of the relevant futures contract.

Volatility:		Typically refers to the standard deviation of the change in value of a financial instrument with a specified time horizon. Volatility is tracked heavily in options trading. Historical volatility is based on how much prices have changed in the past, based on settlement levels. Implied volatility is a theoretical value based on the premium of an option and is intended to represent the expected level of price changes in the future. In general, increasing volatility leads to higher options prices.

FORM OF CASH COLLATERAL DOCUMENTATION FOR LETTERS OF CREDIT

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, XXXXXXX OPERATING RESOURCES LLC (the “Borrower”) hereby assigns, transfers and pledges to JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., as administrative agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties (the “Administrative Agent”) under the Credit Agreement, dated as of October [ ], 2013 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among Xxxxxxx Operating Resources LLC, as Borrower, the Lenders from time to time parties thereto, the Administrative Agent, and the other agents parties thereto, and grants to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties a security interest in, all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to the following accounts maintained by the Administrative Agent (the “Accounts”):


[ ]	[ ]	[ ]
[ ]	[ ]	[ ]

or such other number as may be subsequently assigned or maintained by the undersigned with the Administrative Agent, together with any subaccounts relating thereto and together with all monies or proceeds due or to become due thereunder or deposited therein, any and all additional or renewed deposit of said monies or proceeds, any and all property of whatever kind and nature in the account or in which such monies or proceeds may be invested, and all sums due or to become due on, or with respect to, such account by way of interest, dividend, bonus, redemption or otherwise and the proceeds of all of the foregoing (all hereinafter collectively known as the “Collateral”).

This assignment, pledge, transfer and security interest is given and made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower as collateral security for the Obligations.

The Borrower represents, warrants and covenants that: (i) the Collateral is not subject to any other security interest, except in favor of the Administrative Agent and as permitted under the Credit Agreement; and (ii) the Borrower shall not, at any time during which any Obligations are outstanding, assign, pledge or grant a security interest in any of the Collateral, except as permitted under the Credit Agreement.

The Borrower further represents and warrants that (a) it is the legal owner of the Collateral, subject to this agreement and Liens permitted under the Credit Agreement; (b) it has full power, authority and legal right to pledge and grant the security interests in and liens upon the Collateral; (c) this agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with its terms; (d) no consent of any other person (including, without limitation, its stockholders or creditors) and no consent, license, permit, approval or authorization of, exemption by, notice or report to, or registration, filing or declaration with, any governmental authority, domestic or foreign, is required to be obtained by it in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this agreement, other than as set forth in Section 5.4 of the Credit Agreement; and (e) the execution, delivery or performance of this agreement (i) will not violate any Requirement of Law, including any rules or regulations promulgated by the FERC, in each case to the extent applicable to or binding upon such Borrower, except where such violation could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and except as set forth in Section 5.4 of the Credit Agreement and (ii) will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of its respective properties or revenues pursuant to any such Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation (other than as created hereunder and Liens permitted by the Credit Agreement).

The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Administrative Agent at any time, and from time to time, during the existence of any Event of Default, either in its own name or in the name of the undersigned: (i) to apply, demand, set-off, collect and receive payment of any and all monies, property or proceeds due or to become due in respect of the Collateral; (ii) to execute any and all instruments required for the application, withdrawal or repayment of the same, or any part thereof; (iii) to insert in any instrument for the application or withdrawal of funds signed by the undersigned, the date and amount due under the Collateral or any part thereof and to complete such instrument in any respect; and (iv) to have dominion and control over the Collateral in all respects and to deal with the Collateral as the sole holder thereof, and the undersigned hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact to do any and all of the aforesaid. The rights of the Administrative Agent hereunder are in addition to the rights of the Administrative Agent under any other security or similar agreement. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall apply any of the Collateral for the reimbursement of all or any portion of any (i) Reimbursement Obligation with respect to any Letter of Credit that has been Cash Collateralized or (ii) L/C Participation Obligation of any Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit that has been Cash (100%) Collateralized, in each case, pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement and then to any other Obligations.

The Borrower will, at its own expense, promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, including, without limitation, the execution and filing of financing statements and amendments to financing statements under the Uniform Commercial Code that the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably deem necessary or desirable in order to create, perfect and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Administrative Agent to enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral. The Administrative Agent may, at its discretion and without the undersigned’s signature where permitted by applicable law, file one or more financing statements and amendments to financing statements under the Uniform Commercial Code naming the undersigned as debtor and the Administrative Agent as secured party and indicating therein the types or describing the items of Collateral herein specified; provided, however that, the Administrative Agent shall, if practical under the circumstances, provide to the Borrower three (3) Business Days prior written notice of the right to review any such filings and the Administrative Agent shall provide the Borrower with copies of such filings.

So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent shall release to the Borrower any cash from time to time held in the Accounts not required to be Cash Collateralized or Cash (100%) Collateralized pursuant to the Credit Agreement, including without limitation, pursuant to Sections 3.4(b), 3.6(c), 4.7, 4.18 and 9, as applicable, and upon the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Obligations, the termination of all Letters of Credit, and the termination of all Commitments, the Administrative Agent shall release all cash held in the Accounts and delivery of such cash shall discharge in full the Administrative Agent’s obligations to the Borrower with respect to release and return of the Collateral.

The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent for any costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable counsel’s fees and disbursements, which the Administrative Agent may incur in connection with any enforcement of its security interest, liens and other rights hereunder.

No delay on the Administrative Agent’s part in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right hereunder preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right.

4. Requirements. (a) Subject to the applicable provisions of the Credit Agreement, Mortgagor shall promptly comply with, or cause to be complied with, and conform to all Requirements of Law of all Governmental Authorities which have jurisdiction over the Mortgaged Property, and all covenants, restrictions and conditions now or later of record which may be applicable to any of the Mortgaged Property, or to the use, manner of use, occupancy, possession, operation, maintenance, alteration, repair or reconstruction of any of the Mortgaged Property, except to the extent that failure to comply therewith could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) From and after the date of this Mortgage, Mortgagor shall not by act or omission permit any building or other improvement on any premises not subject to the lien of this Mortgage or owned or operated by Mortgagor or any other Loan Party to rely on the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or any interest therein in order to fulfill any Requirement of Law; provided, that the foregoing shall not prevent, restrict or otherwise limit any such reliance to the extent existing on of the date of this Mortgage to fulfill any Requirement of Law.

If by law any Imposition, at Mortgagor’s option, may be paid in installments (whether or not interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance of such Imposition), Mortgagor may elect to pay such Imposition in such installments and shall be responsible for the payment of such installments with interest, if any.

(b) If the Mortgagor has failed to pay an Imposition within thirty (30) days of when it is due, Mortgagee with notice to Mortgagor may pay any such Imposition at any time thereafter.

(i) property insurance against loss or damage by fire, lightning, windstorm, tornado, water damage, flood, earthquake and by such other further risks and hazards as now are or subsequently may be covered by an “all risk” policy or a fire policy covering “special” causes of loss, and the policy limits shall be automatically reinstated after each loss in amounts customary for companies in similar businesses similarly situated;

(b) Each property insurance policy shall (x) be provided by insurance companies which have a Best’s rating of at least “AXII”, (y) provide that it shall not be cancelled, non-renewed or materially amended without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Mortgagee, and (z) with respect to all property insurance, provide for deductibles in an amount reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee, and contain a “Replacement Cost Endorsement” without any deduction made for depreciation and with no co-insurance penalty (or attaching an agreed amount endorsement reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee), without contribution, under a

-6-

“standard” or “New York” mortgagee clause reasonably acceptable to Mortgagee. Liability insurance policies shall name Mortgagee for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as an additional insured and contain a waiver of subrogation against Mortgagee and the other Secured Parties. Each policy of property insurance shall expressly provide that any proceeds which are payable to Mortgagee shall be paid by check payable to the order of Mortgagee only and requiring the endorsement of Mortgagee only.

(e) Mortgagor promptly shall comply with and conform to (i) all material provisions of each such insurance policy, and (ii) all material requirements of the insurers applicable to Mortgagor or to any of the Mortgaged Property or to the use, manner of use, occupancy, possession, operation, maintenance, alteration or repair of any of the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor shall not use or permit the use of the Mortgaged Property in any manner which would not allow the Mortgagor to obtain the insurance policies required pursuant to this Section 6.

(f) If the Mortgaged Property, or any material part thereof, shall be destroyed or damaged, Mortgagor shall give notice thereof to Mortgagee. All insurance proceeds shall be paid and applied pursuant to Section 4.7(c) of the Credit Agreement (subject to any right set forth therein of Mortgagor to use the proceeds to repair or replace the Mortgaged Property). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, but expressly subject to the provisions of Section 4.7(c) of the Credit Agreement, Mortgagor shall have the right to adjust such loss, and the insurance proceeds relating to such loss shall be paid over to Mortgagor.

(g) In the event of foreclosure of this Mortgage or other transfer of title to the Mortgaged Property to the Mortgagee, all right, title and interest of Mortgagor in and to any insurance policies, solely with respect to the Mortgaged Property, then in force shall pass to the purchaser or grantee.

(h) Mortgagor may maintain insurance required under this Mortgage by means of one or more blanket insurance policies maintained by Mortgagor; provided, however, that (A) any such policy shall specify, or Mortgagor shall furnish to Mortgagee a written statement from the insurer so specifying, the maximum amount of the total insurance afforded by such blanket policy that is allocated to the Mortgaged Property and the other Mortgaged Property

-7-

and any sublimits in such blanket policy applicable to the Mortgaged Property and the other Mortgaged Property, (B) each such blanket policy shall include an endorsement providing that, in the event of a loss resulting from an insured peril, insurance proceeds shall be allocated to the Mortgaged Property in an amount equal to the coverages required to be maintained by Mortgagor as provided above and (C) the protection afforded under any such blanket policy shall be no less than that which would have been afforded under a separate policy or policies as required hereunder relating only to the Mortgaged Property.

7. Restrictions on Liens and Encumbrances. Except for the lien of this Mortgage and the Permitted Exceptions, and except as expressly permitted under the Credit Agreement or this Mortgage, Mortgagor shall not, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, further mortgage, nor otherwise encumber the Mortgaged Property nor create or suffer to exist any lien, charge or encumbrance on the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, whether superior or subordinate to the lien of this Mortgage and whether recourse or non-recourse.

8. Due on Sale and Other Transfer Restrictions. Except as expressly permitted under the Credit Agreement, Mortgagor shall not, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, sell, transfer, convey or assign all or any portion of, or any interest in, the Mortgaged Property. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Mortgagor may use, lease and dispose of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property in the ordinary course of its business, subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement and the provisions of this Mortgage.

9. Condemnation/Eminent Domain. Subject to the Credit Agreement, upon obtaining knowledge of the institution of any proceedings for the condemnation of the Mortgaged Property, or any portion thereof, Mortgagor will notify Mortgagee of the pendency of such proceedings. Mortgagee is hereby authorized and empowered by Mortgagor to settle or compromise any claim in connection with such condemnation and to receive all awards and proceeds thereof to be applied pursuant to Section 4.7(c) of the Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, but expressly subject to the provisions of Section 4.7(c) of the Credit Agreement (including any right set forth therein of Mortgagor to use the proceeds to repair or replace the Mortgaged Property), (i) Mortgagor shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any proceeding relating to such condemnation, (ii) Mortgagor may settle or compromise any claims in connection therewith and (iii) Mortgagor may receive any awards or proceeds thereof, provided that Mortgagor shall (a) in the event of a partial taking of an individual Mortgaged Property and to the extent reasonably possible promptly repair and restore Mortgaged Property to its condition prior to such condemnation, regardless of whether any award shall have been received or whether such award is sufficient to pay for the costs of such repair and restoration or (b) otherwise comply with the provisions of the Credit Agreement relating to the disposition of Net Cash Proceeds from a Recovery Event or otherwise.

10. Leases. Except as expressly permitted under the Credit Agreement, Mortgagor shall not (a) execute an assignment or pledge of any Lease relating to all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property other than in favor of Mortgagee, or (b) during the continuance of an Event of Default, execute any Lease of any of the Mortgaged Property without the written consent of Mortgagee. Mortgagor shall deliver to Mortgagee copies of all leases promptly upon the request of Collateral Agent.

-8-

11. Further Assurances. To further assure Mortgagee’s rights under this Mortgage, Mortgagor agrees upon written demand of Mortgagee to do any act or execute any additional documents (including, but not limited to, security agreements on any personalty included or to be included in the Mortgaged Property and a separate assignment of each Lease in recordable form) as may be reasonably required by Mortgagee to confirm the lien of this Mortgage and all other rights or benefits conferred on Mortgagee by this Mortgage.

12. Mortgagee’s Right to Perform. If Mortgagor fails to perform any of the covenants or agreements of Mortgagor contained herein, within the applicable grace period, if any, provided for in the Credit Agreement, Mortgagee, without waiving or releasing Mortgagor from any obligation or default under this Mortgage may, (but shall be under no obligation to) at any time upon delivery of written notice to Mortgagor pay or perform the same, and the amount or cost thereof, with interest at the Default Rate, shall be due on demand from Mortgagor to Mortgagee and the same shall be secured by this Mortgage and shall be a lien on the Mortgaged Property prior to any right, title to, interest in, or claim upon the Mortgaged Property attaching subsequent to the lien of this Mortgage.

Mortgagor shall enforce, comply with, and cause each of the parties to any REA to comply with all of the material economic terms and conditions contained in the REA.

(f) Defense of Title. The Mortgagor will preserve its interest in and title to the Mortgaged Property and shall cause this Mortgage, and each amendment, modification or supplement hereto, to be recorded and filed and to be kept recorded and filed in such manner and in such places, as may be required by law in order to establish, preserve and protect the validity and priority of the Lien and security interest created herein against the claims of all Persons whomsoever claiming by, through or under the Mortgagor).

15. Remedies.

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Mortgagee may immediately take such action, without notice or demand (except as otherwise provided herein) only to the extent permitted by applicable law, it deems reasonably necessary to protect and enforce its rights against Mortgagor and in and to the Mortgaged Property, including, but not limited to, the following actions, each of which may be pursued concurrently or otherwise to the extent permitted by applicable law, at such time and in such manner as Mortgagee may determine, in its sole discretion, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Mortgagee:

(i) Mortgagee may at its option, in addition to other remedies provided at law and to the extent permitted under the Credit Agreement, declare all sums secured by this Mortgage immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest and non-payment or other notice of default or notice of acceleration or notice of intention to acceleration or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by Mortgagor and all other parties obligated in any manner whatsoever to pay and/or perform the Obligations (except to the extent required hereunder or under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, or under any provision of applicable law that cannot be waived).

(ii) To the extent permitted under applicable law, Mortgagee may elect to sell the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof to be at such place or places and otherwise in

-11-

the manner and upon such notice or notices as may be required under any Requirements of Law (and Mortgagor hereby waives, to the extent permitted under applicable law, any right it may have under Requirements of Law to direct the order of sale); provided, however, that Mortgagee may offset its bid at any such sale to the extent of the full amount owed to Mortgagee under the Credit Agreement, including, without limitation, expenses of sale, and costs, expenses, and attorney fees incurred by or on behalf of Mortgagee in connection with collecting, litigating, or otherwise enforcing any right under the Credit Agreement. Mortgagee may postpone the sale of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property by public announcement made at the initial time and place of sale, and from time to time later by public announcement made at the time and place of sale fixed by the preceding postponement. Mortgagee shall deliver to the purchaser at such public auction its deed conveying the Mortgaged Property sold, but without any covenant or warranty, express or implied. The recital in such deed of any matter of fact shall be conclusive proof of its truthfulness. Any person, including Mortgagor or Mortgagee, may purchase at such sale.

(iii) The proceeds or avails of any sale made under or by virtue of this Mortgage, together with any other sums secured by this Mortgage, which then may be held by the Mortgagee or any other person, shall be applied pursuant to Section 15(e) hereof and the Credit Agreement.

(iv) Mortgagee may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (A) institute and maintain an action of judicial or non-judicial foreclosure against all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, (B) institute and maintain an action on the Credit Agreement, the Guarantee, or any other Loan Document, or (C) take such other action at law or in equity for the enforcement of this Mortgage or any of the Loan Documents as the law may allow. Mortgagee may proceed in any such action to final judgment and execution thereon for all sums due hereunder, together with interest thereon at the applicable Default Rate or a lesser amount if required by law and all costs of suit, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and the Credit Agreement, interest at the Default Rate shall be due on any judgment obtained by Mortgagee from the date of judgment until actual payment is made of the full amount of the judgment.

(v) Mortgagee may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, personally, or by its agents, attorneys and employees and without regard to the adequacy or inadequacy of the Mortgaged Property or any other collateral as security for the Obligations enter into and upon the Mortgaged Property and each and every part thereof and exclude Mortgagor and its agents and employees therefrom without liability for trespass, damage or otherwise (Mortgagor hereby agreeing to surrender possession of the Mortgaged Property to Mortgagee upon demand at any such time) and use, operate, manage, maintain and control the Mortgaged Property and every part thereof. Following such entry and taking of possession, Mortgagee shall be entitled, without limitation, (x) to lease all or any part or parts of the Mortgaged Property for such periods of time and upon such conditions as Mortgagee may, in its discretion, deem proper, (y) to enforce, cancel or modify any Lease subject to the rights of any existing tenants and (z) generally to execute, do and perform any other act, deed, matter or thing concerning the Mortgaged Property as Mortgagee shall deem appropriate as fully as Mortgagor might do.

-12-

(vi) If Mortgagor remains in possession after demand by Mortgagee for surrender of possession of the Mortgaged Property, such continued possession by Mortgagor shall be as tenant of Mortgagee, and Mortgagor agrees to pay monthly in advance to Mortgagee such rent for the Mortgaged Property so occupied as Mortgagee may demand, and in default of doing so, Mortgagor may also be dispossessed by summary proceedings or otherwise. In case of the appointment of a receiver of the Rents, the foregoing agreement of Mortgagor to pay rent shall inure to the benefit of such receiver.

(b) In case of a foreclosure sale, the Mortgaged Property may be sold, at Mortgagee’s election, in one parcel or in more than one parcel and Mortgagee is specifically empowered (without being required to do so, and in its sole and absolute discretion) to cause successive sales of portions of the Mortgaged Property to be held as more particularly described in Section 15(a)(ii), to the extent permitted under the terms of the Credit Agreement.

(c) In the event of any breach of any of the covenants, agreements, terms or conditions contained in this Mortgage and the expiration of any applicable notice and/or grace period, Mortgagee shall be entitled to enjoin such breach and obtain specific performance of any covenant, agreement, term or condition and Mortgagee shall have the right to invoke any equitable right or remedy as though other remedies were not provided for in this Mortgage.

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, upon completion of any sale or sales made by Mortgagee under or by virtue of this Mortgage and upon satisfaction of any redemption period required by law, Mortgagee shall execute and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale or sales a good and sufficient instrument, or good and sufficient instruments, conveying, assigning and transferring all estate, right, and title and interest of Mortgagor in and to the property and rights sold. To the extent permitted by applicable law, any such sale or sales made by virtue of nonjudicial or judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, shall operate to divest all the estate, right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, whether at law or in equity, of Mortgagor in and to the properties and rights to be sold, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity, of Mortgagor and against any and all persons claiming or who may claim the same, or any part thereof from through or under Mortgagor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the purchaser at any foreclosure sale hereunder may disaffirm any easement granted or lease made in violation of any provision of this Mortgage, and may take immediate possession of the Mortgaged Property free from, and despite the terms of, such grant of easement or rental or lease agreement.

(e) It is agreed that if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, any and all proceeds of the Mortgaged Property received by Mortgagee shall be held by Mortgagee for the benefit of the Secured Parties as collateral security for the Obligations (whether matured or unmatured), and shall be applied in payment of the Obligations in the manner and in the order set forth in Section 8(b) of the Security Agreement.

-13-

16. Right of Mortgagee to Credit Sale. To the extent permitted under applicable law, upon the occurrence of any sale made under this Mortgage in connection with the exercise of remedies hereunder upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, whether made by virtue of judicial or nonjudicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, Mortgagee may bid for and acquire the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof. In lieu of paying cash therefor, Mortgagee may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting upon the Obligations or other sums secured by this Mortgage, the net sales price after deducting therefrom the expenses of sale and the cost of the action and any other sums which Mortgagee is authorized to deduct under this Mortgage. In such event, this Mortgage, the Credit Agreement, the Guarantee and the Security Documents evidencing expenditures secured hereby may be presented to the person or persons conducting the sale in order that the amount so used or applied may be credited upon the Obligations as having been paid.

17. Appointment of Receiver. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Mortgagee as a matter of right and without notice to Mortgagor, unless otherwise required by applicable law, and without regard to the adequacy or inadequacy of the Mortgaged Property or any other collateral or the interest of Mortgagor therein as security for the Obligations, shall have the right to apply to any court having jurisdiction to appoint a receiver or receivers or other manager of the Mortgaged Property, without requiring the posting of a surety bond, and without reference to the adequacy or inadequacy of the value of the Mortgaged Property or the solvency or insolvency of Mortgagor or any other party obligated for payment of all or any part of the Obligations, and whether or not waste has occurred with respect to the Mortgaged Property, and Mortgagor hereby irrevocably consents to such appointment and waives notice of any application therefor (except as may be required by law). Any such receiver or receivers or manager shall have all the usual powers and duties of receivers in like or similar cases and all the powers and duties of Mortgagee in case of entry as provided in this Mortgage, including, without limitation and to the extent permitted by law, the right to enter into leases of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, (subject to the rights of Tenants under the Leases) and shall continue as such and exercise all such powers until the date of confirmation of sale of the Mortgaged Property unless such receivership is sooner terminated.

18. Extension, Release, etc. (a) Without affecting the lien or charge created by this Mortgage upon any portion of the Mortgaged Property not then or theretofore released as security for the full amount of the Obligations, Mortgagee may, from time to time and without notice (but subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 11.2 thereof), agree to (i) release any person liable for the indebtedness borrowed or guaranteed under the Loan Documents, (ii) extend the maturity or alter any of the terms of the indebtedness borrowed or guaranteed under the Loan Documents or any other guaranty thereof, (iii) grant other indulgences, (iv) release or reconvey, or cause to be released or reconveyed at any time at Mortgagee’s option any parcel, portion or all of the Mortgaged Property, (v) take or release any other or additional security for any obligation herein mentioned, or (vi) make compositions or other arrangements with debtors in relation thereto.

(b) No recovery of any judgment by Mortgagee and no levy of an execution under any judgment upon the Mortgaged Property or upon any other property of Mortgagor shall affect the lien created by this Mortgage or any liens, rights, powers or remedies of Mortgagee hereunder, and such liens, rights, powers and remedies shall continue unimpaired.

-14-

(c) If Mortgagee shall have the right to foreclose this Mortgage, Mortgagor authorizes Mortgagee at its option to foreclose the lien created by this Mortgage subject to the rights of any tenants of the Mortgaged Property, to the extent permitted by applicable law. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the failure to make any such tenants parties defendant to any such foreclosure proceeding and to foreclose their rights, or to provide notice to such tenants as required in any statutory procedure governing a foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property, or to terminate such tenant’s rights in such foreclosure will not be asserted by Mortgagor as a defense to any proceeding instituted by Mortgagee to collect the Obligations or to foreclose the lien created by this Mortgage.

(d) Unless expressly provided otherwise, in the event that Mortgagee’s interest in this Mortgage and title to the Mortgaged Property or any estate therein shall become vested in the same person or entity, this Mortgage shall not merge in such title but shall continue as a valid lien on the Mortgaged Property for the amount secured hereby.

19. Security Agreement under Uniform Commercial Code. (a) It is the intention of the parties hereto that this Mortgage shall constitute a “security agreement” within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code (the “UCC”) of the State in which the Mortgaged Property is located. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, then in addition to having any other right or remedy available at law or in equity, Mortgagee shall have the option of either (i) proceeding under the UCC and exercising such rights and remedies as may be provided to a secured party by the UCC with respect to all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property which is personal property (including, without limitation, taking possession of and selling such property) or (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable law, treating such property as real property and proceeding with respect to both the real and personal property constituting the Mortgaged Property in accordance with Mortgagee’s rights, powers and remedies with respect to the real property (in which event the default provisions of the UCC shall not apply). If Mortgagee shall elect to proceed under the UCC, and unless otherwise required by the Security Agreement, then ten (10) days’ notice of sale of the personal property shall be deemed reasonable notice and the reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling and the like incurred by Mortgagee shall include, but not be limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses. At Mortgagee’s request, Mortgagor shall assemble the personal property and make it available to Mortgagee at a place designated by Mortgagee which is reasonably convenient to both parties.

(b) Certain portions of the Mortgaged Property are or will become “fixtures” (as that term is defined in the UCC) on the Mortgaged Property, and this Mortgage, upon being filed for record in the real estate records of the county wherein such fixtures are situated, shall operate also as a financing statement filed as a fixture filing in accordance with the applicable provisions of said UCC upon such portions of the Mortgaged Property that are or become fixtures. The addresses of the Mortgagor, as debtor, and Mortgagee, as secured party, are set forth in the first page of this Mortgage.

-15-

(c) The real property to which the fixtures relate is described in Exhibit A attached hereto. The name, type of organization and jurisdiction of organization of the debtor for purposes of this financing statement are the name, type of organization and jurisdiction of organization of the Mortgagor set forth in the first paragraph of this Mortgage, and the name of the secured party for purposes of this financing statement is the name of the Mortgagee set forth in the first paragraph of this Mortgage. The mailing address of the Mortgagor/debtor is the address of the Mortgagor set forth in the first paragraph of this Mortgage. The mailing address of the Mortgagee/secured party from which information concerning the security interest hereunder may be obtained is the address of the Mortgagee set forth in the first paragraph of this Mortgage. Mortgagor’s organizational identification number is 2140249.

20. Assignment of Rents. (a) Mortgagor hereby assigns to Mortgagee the Rents as further security for the payment and performance of the Obligations, and Mortgagor grants to Mortgagee the right to enter the Mortgaged Property for the purpose of collecting the same and to let the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, (subject to the rights of tenants under the Leases) and to apply the Rents on account of the Obligations. The foregoing assignment and grant is present and absolute and shall continue in effect until the Obligations secured hereby are paid in full and the Commitments no longer remain outstanding, but Mortgagee hereby waives the right to enter the Mortgaged Property for the purpose of collecting the Rents and Mortgagor shall be entitled to collect, receive, use and retain the Rents until the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default; such right of Mortgagor to collect, receive, use and retain the Rents may be revoked by Mortgagee upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default by giving not less than ten (10) days’ written notice of such revocation to Mortgagor; in the event such notice is given, Mortgagor shall pay over to Mortgagee, or to any receiver appointed to collect the Rents, any lease security deposits and shall pay monthly in advance to Mortgagee, or to any such receiver, the fair and reasonable rental value as determined by Mortgagee for the use and occupancy of such part of the Mortgaged Property as may be in the possession of Mortgagor or any affiliate of Mortgagor, and upon default in any such payment Mortgagor and any such affiliate will vacate and surrender the possession of the Mortgaged Property to Mortgagee or to such receiver, and in default thereof may be evicted by summary proceedings or otherwise. Mortgagor shall not accept prepayments of installments of Rent to become due for a period of more than one month in advance (except for security deposits and estimated payments of percentage rent, if any).

(b) Mortgagor has not affirmatively done any act which would prevent Mortgagee from, or limit Mortgagee in, acting under any of the provisions of the foregoing assignment.

(c) Except for any matter disclosed in the Credit Agreement, no action has been brought or, to Mortgagor’s knowledge, is threatened, which would interfere in any way with the right of Mortgagor to execute the foregoing assignment and perform all of Mortgagor’s obligations contained in this Section and in the Leases.

21. Additional Rights. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the holder of any subordinate lien or subordinate mortgage on the Mortgaged Property shall have no right to terminate any Lease whether or not such Lease is subordinate to this Mortgage nor shall Mortgagor consent to any holder of any subordinate lien or subordinate mortgage joining any

-16-

tenant under any Lease in any action to foreclose the lien or modify, interfere with, disturb or terminate the rights of any tenant under any Lease. By recordation of this Mortgage all subordinate lienholders and the trustees and beneficiaries under subordinate mortgages are subject to and notified of this provision, and any action taken by any such lienholder contrary to this provision shall be null and void. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Mortgagee, in its sole discretion and without regard to the adequacy of its security under this Mortgage, apply all or any part of any amounts on deposit with Mortgagee under this Mortgage against all or any part of the Obligations. Any such application shall not be construed to cure or waive any Default or Event of Default or invalidate any act taken by Mortgagee on account of such Default or Event of Default.

22. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be given in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.2 of the Credit Agreement to Mortgagor and to Mortgagee as specified therein.

23. No Oral Modification. This Mortgage may not be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.1 of the Credit Agreement. To the extent permitted by applicable law, any agreement made by Mortgagor and Mortgagee after the date of this Mortgage relating to this Mortgage shall be superior to the rights of the holder of any intervening or subordinate lien or encumbrance.

24. Partial Invalidity. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Mortgage shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, but each shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been included.

25. Mortgagor’s Waiver of Rights. (a) Mortgagor hereby voluntarily and knowingly releases and waives any and all rights to retain possession of the Mortgaged Property after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and any and all rights of redemption from sale under any order or decree of foreclosure (whether full or partial), pursuant to rights, if any, therein granted, as allowed under any applicable law, on its own behalf, on behalf of all persons claiming or having an interest (direct or indirectly) by, through or under each constituent of Mortgagor and on behalf of each and every person acquiring any interest in the Mortgaged Property subsequent to the date hereof, it being the intent hereof that any and all such rights or redemption of each constituent of Mortgagor and all such other persons are and shall be deemed to be hereby waived to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law or replacement statute. Each constituent of Mortgagor shall not invoke or utilize any such law or laws or otherwise hinder, delay, or impede the execution of any right, power, or remedy herein or otherwise granted or delegated to Mortgagee, but shall permit the execution of every such right, power, and remedy as though no such taw or laws had been made or enacted.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, Mortgagor waives the benefit of all laws now existing or that may subsequently be enacted providing for (i) any appraisement before sale of any portion of the Mortgaged Property, (ii) any extension of the time for the enforcement of the collection of the Obligations or the creation or extension of a period of redemption from any sale made in collecting such debt and (iii) exemption of the Mortgaged Property from

-17-

attachment, levy or sale under execution or exemption from civil process. To the full extent Mortgagor may do so, Mortgagor agrees that Mortgagor will not at any time insist upon, plead, claim or take the benefit or advantage of any law now or hereafter in force providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay, exemption, extension or redemption, or requiring foreclosure of this Mortgage before exercising any other remedy granted hereunder and Mortgagor, for Mortgagor and its successors and assigns, and for any and all persons ever claiming any interest in the Mortgaged Property, to the extent permitted by law, hereby waives and releases all rights of redemption, valuation, appraisement, stay of execution, notice of election to mature (except as expressly provided in the Credit Agreement) or declare due the whole of the secured indebtedness and marshalling in the event of a sale by Mortgagee, or other rights hereby created. Mortgagor waives all rights of redemption.

26. Remedies Not Exclusive. Mortgagee shall be entitled to enforce payment of the Obligations and performance of the Obligations and to exercise all rights and powers under this Mortgage or under any of the other Loan Documents or other agreement or any laws now or hereafter in force, notwithstanding some or all of the Obligations may now or hereafter be otherwise secured, whether by deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge, lien, assignment or otherwise. Neither the acceptance of this Mortgage nor its enforcement, shall prejudice or in any manner affect Mortgagee’s right to realize upon or enforce any other security now or hereafter held by Mortgagee, it being agreed that Mortgagee shall be entitled to enforce this Mortgage and any other security now or hereafter held by Mortgagee in such order and manner as Mortgagee may determine in its absolute discretion. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Mortgagee is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy herein or by law provided or permitted, but each shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. Every power or remedy given by any of the Loan Documents to Mortgagee or to which Mortgagee may otherwise be entitled, may be exercised, concurrently or independently, from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Mortgagee as the case may be. To the extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Mortgagee, in the exercise of the remedies provided in this Mortgage (including, without limitation, in connection with the assignment of Rents to Mortgagee, or the appointment of a receiver and the entry of such receiver on to all or any part of the Mortgaged Property), be deemed a “Mortgagee in possession,” and Mortgagee shall not in any way be made liable for any act, either of commission or omission, in connection with the exercise of such remedies.

27. Multiple Security. If (a) the Mortgaged Property shall consist of one or more parcels, whether or not contiguous and whether or not located in the same county, or (b) in addition to this Mortgage, Mortgagee shall now or hereafter hold or be the beneficiary of one or more additional mortgages, liens, deeds of trust, mortgages or other security (directly or indirectly) for the Obligations upon other property in the State in which the Mortgaged Property are located (whether or not such property is owned by Mortgagor or by others) or (c) both the circumstances described in clauses (a) and (b) shall be true, then to the fullest extent permitted by law, Mortgagee may, at its election, commence or consolidate in a single foreclosure action all foreclosure proceedings against all such collateral securing the Obligations (including the Mortgaged Property), which action may be brought or consolidated in the courts of, or sale conducted in, any county in which any of such collateral is located. Mortgagor acknowledges that the right to maintain a consolidated foreclosure action is a specific inducement to Lenders to

-18-

extend the indebtedness borrowed pursuant to or guaranteed by the Loan Documents, and Mortgagor expressly and irrevocably waives any objections to the commencement or consolidation of the foreclosure proceedings in a single action and any objections to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens which it may now or hereafter have. Mortgagor further agrees that if Mortgagee shall be prosecuting one or more foreclosure or other proceedings against a portion of the Mortgaged Property or against any collateral other than the Mortgaged Property, which collateral directly or indirectly secures the Obligations, or if Mortgagee shall have obtained a judgment of foreclosure and sale or similar judgment against such collateral, then, whether or not such proceedings are being maintained or judgments were obtained in or outside the State in which the Mortgaged Property are located, Mortgagee may commence or continue any foreclosure proceedings and exercise its other remedies granted in this Mortgage against all or any part of the Mortgaged Property and Mortgagor waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any objections to the commencement or continuation of a foreclosure of this Mortgage or exercise of any other remedies hereunder based on such other proceedings or judgments, and waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any right to seek to dismiss, stay, remove, transfer or consolidate either any action under this Mortgage or such other proceedings on such basis. Neither the commencement nor continuation of proceedings to foreclose this Mortgage, nor the exercise of any other rights hereunder nor the recovery of any judgment by Mortgagee in any such proceedings shall prejudice, limit or preclude Mortgagee’s right to commence or continue one or more foreclosure or other proceedings or obtain a judgment against any other collateral (either in or outside the State in which the Mortgaged Property are located) which directly or indirectly secures the Obligations, and Mortgagor expressly waives any objections to the commencement of, continuation of, or entry of a judgment in such other sales or proceedings or exercise of any remedies in such sales or proceedings based upon any action or judgment connected to this Mortgage, and Mortgagor also waives any right to seek to dismiss, stay, remove, transfer or consolidate either such other sales or proceedings or any sale or action under this Mortgage on such basis. It is expressly understood and agreed that to the fullest extent permitted by law, Mortgagee may, at its election, cause the sale of all collateral which is the subject of a single foreclosure action at either a single sale or at multiple sales conducted simultaneously and take such other measures as are appropriate in order to effect the agreement of the parties to dispose of and administer all collateral securing the Obligations (directly or indirectly) in the most economical and least time-consuming manner.

28. Successors and Assigns. All covenants of Mortgagor contained in this Mortgage are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Mortgagee and its successors and assigns, and no other person or entity shall have standing to require compliance with such covenants or be deemed, under any circumstances, to be a beneficiary of such covenants, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Mortgagee at any time if in the sole discretion of either of them such a waiver is deemed advisable. All such covenants of Mortgagor shall run with the land and bind Mortgagor, the successors and assigns of Mortgagor (and each of them) and all subsequent owners, encumbrancers and tenants of the Mortgaged Property, to the extent permitted by applicable law, and shall inure to the benefit of Mortgagee and its successors and assigns. The word “Mortgagor” shall be construed as if it read “Mortgagors” whenever the sense of this Mortgage so requires and if there shall be more than one Mortgagor, the obligations of the Mortgagors shall be joint and several.

-19-

29. No Waivers, etc. Any failure by Mortgagee to insist upon the strict performance by Mortgagor of any of the terms and provisions of this Mortgage shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of the terms and provisions hereof, and Mortgagee, notwithstanding any such failure, shall have the right thereafter to insist upon the strict performance by Mortgagor of any and all of the terms and provisions of this Mortgage to be performed by Mortgagor. Mortgagee may release, regardless of consideration and without the necessity for any notice to or consent by the beneficiary of any subordinate mortgage or the holder of any subordinate lien on the Mortgaged Property, any part of the security held for the obligations secured by this Mortgage without, as to the remainder of the security, in any way impairing or affecting the lien of this Mortgage or the priority of this Mortgage over any subordinate lien or mortgage.

30. Governing Law, etc. The Obligations secured hereby were incurred in connection with a multi-state transaction governed by the laws of the State of New York and pursuant to various documents which were executed and accepted by the Mortgagee in the State of New York. This Mortgage and all substantive terms and provisions hereof shall be governed by and construed according to the laws of the State of New York, except with respect to perfection of security interests and liens hereunder and enforcement thereof, which shall be governed by the laws of the State in which the Real Estate is located.

31. Certain Definitions. Unless the context clearly indicates a contrary intent or unless otherwise specifically provided herein, words used in this Mortgage shall be used interchangeably in singular or plural form and the word “Mortgagor” shall mean “each Mortgagor or any subsequent owner or owners of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or interest therein,” the word “Mortgagee” shall mean “Mortgagee or any successor collateral agent for the Secured Parties,” and the word “person” shall include any individual, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust, unincorporated association, government, governmental authority, or other entity. Whenever the context may require, any pronouns used herein shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns and pronouns shall include the plural and vice versa.

32. Release. All or a portion of the Mortgaged Property may be released in accordance with Section 11.5 of the Credit Agreement.

33. Last Dollars Secured; Priority. To the extent that this Mortgage secures only a portion of the Obligations owing or which may become owing by Mortgagor to the Secured Parties, the parties agree that any payments or repayments of any Extensions of Credit shall be and be deemed to be applied first to the portion of the Extensions of Credit that are not secured hereby, it being the parties’ intent that the portion of the Extensions of Credit last remaining unpaid shall be secured hereby. If at any time this Mortgage shall secure less than all of the principal amount of the Obligations, it is expressly agreed that any repayments of the principal amount of the Obligations shall not reduce the amount of the lien of this Mortgage until such lien amount shall equal the principal amount of the Obligations outstanding.

-20-

34. Receipt of Copy. The Mortgagor acknowledges that it has received a true copy of this Mortgage.

35. Maturity. The last of the Extensions of Credit (and therefore, the Obligations) to mature is scheduled to mature on September , 2018.

36. Maximum Principal Amount of Obligations. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the maximum principal amount of Obligations secured by this Mortgage at the time of execution hereof or which under any contingency may become secured by this Mortgage at any time hereafter is plus all interest payable on such principal amount under the Credit Agreement and all amounts expended by Mortgagee in accordance with the Credit Agreement and this Mortgage for the payment of (a) taxes, charges, or assessments which may be imposed by law upon the premises; (b) premiums on insurance policies covering the premises; (c) expenses incurred in upholding the lien of this Mortgage, including, but not limited to (1) the expenses of any litigation to prosecute or defend the rights and lien created by this Mortgage; (2) any amount, cost or charges to which the Mortgage becomes subrogated, upon payment, whether under recognized principles of law or equity, or under express statutory authority and (3) interest at the rate of interest provided for in the Credit Agreement.

37. State Specific Provisions. This Mortgage is granted with Mortgage Covenants and upon the Statutory Condition, for any breach of which the Mortgagee shall have the Statutory Power of Sale. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Mortgagee shall have the Statutory Power of Sale.

38. Further Assurances. Should any deed, conveyance, or instrument of any nature be required from Mortgagor by Mortgagee to more fully and certainly vest in and confirm to the Mortgagee such estates rights, powers, and duties, then, upon request by the Mortgagee, any and all such deeds, conveyances and instruments shall be made, executed, acknowledged, and delivered and shall be caused to be recorded and/or filed by Mortgagor.

39. Revolving Credit Loans. (a) The Indebtedness secured hereby includes, in part, revolving credit loans. The outstanding balance of such revolving credit loans may increase and decrease from time to time, and sums may be advanced, repaid and readvanced thereunder until final maturity of such revolving credit loans. This Mortgage is intended to secure all the Obligations, regardless of such repayments and readvances and regardless of whether the balance of such revolving credit loans may be reduced, from time to time, to zero.

(b) In addition to all other Indebtedness secured by this Mortgage, this Mortgage shall also secure, and constitute a first lien on the Mortgaged Property to secure, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions, all future advances whether such advances are obligatory or are to be made at the option of Mortgagee or the Lenders, or otherwise, made by Mortgagee or the Lenders under the Credit Agreement for any purpose within twenty (20) years from the date of this Mortgage (unless the Credit Agreement shall be earlier terminated) to the same extent as if such advances were made on the date of the execution of this Mortgage. The total amount of principal indebtedness, including future advances, that is secured by this Mortgage, may increase or decrease from time to time, but shall not exceed $ at

FORM OF GUARANTEE

[Provided Separately]

GUARANTEE

GUARANTEE, dated as of [ ], 2013 (the “Guarantee”), made by each signatory hereto (each a “Guarantor”, collectively, together with each Person which may, from time to time, become party hereto as a Guarantor, the “Guarantors”), in favor of JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) for the Secured Parties as defined in the Credit Agreement described below.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, dated as of [ ], 2013 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among XXXXXXX OPERATING RESOURCES LLC (the “Borrower”), the several banks and other financial institutions or entities from time to time parties thereto (the “Lenders”), the Administrative Agent and certain other agents party thereto, the Lenders have severally agreed to make loans to and participate in letters of credit issued on behalf of, and certain Lenders (the “Issuing Lenders”) have agreed to issue letters of credit for the account of, the Borrower upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein;

WHEREAS, the Borrower and the Guarantors are engaged in related businesses, and each Guarantor will derive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the making of the extensions of credit to the Borrower; and

WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the obligation of the Lenders to make their respective loans to and participate in letters of credit issued on behalf of the Borrower, and of the Issuing Lenders to issue their letters of credit, under the Credit Agreement that each Guarantor shall have executed and delivered this Guarantee to the Administrative Agent on behalf and for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and to induce the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders to enter into the Credit Agreement and to induce the Lenders to make their respective loans to and participate in letters of credit issued on behalf of the Borrower, and of the Issuing Lenders to issue their letters of credit, under the Credit Agreement, each Guarantor hereby agrees with the Administrative Agent, on behalf and for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as follows:

1. Defined Terms.

(a) Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms which are defined in the Credit Agreement and used herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement.

The following terms shall have the following meanings:

“Qualified Keepwell Provider”: in respect of any Swap Obligation, each Loan Party that, at the time the relevant guarantee (or grant of the relevant security interest, as applicable) becomes effective with respect to such Swap Obligation, has total assets exceeding $10,000,000 or otherwise constitutes an “eligible contract participant” under the Commodity

Exchange Act or any regulations promulgated thereunder and can cause another person to qualify as an “eligible contract participant” with respect to such Swap Obligation at such time by entering into a keepwell pursuant to section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

“Subsidiary Guarantor”: each Guarantor other than the MLP.

(b) The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Guarantee shall refer to this Guarantee as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Guarantee, and section and paragraph references are to this Guarantee unless otherwise specified.

(c) The meanings given to terms defined herein shall be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of such terms.

2. Guarantee.

(a) Each Guarantor hereby, unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees to the Administrative Agent, on behalf and for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance by each of the Loan Parties when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations (other than, with respect to any Guarantor, any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Guarantor).

(b) Anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder and under the other Loan Documents 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 and fraudulent conveyances or transfers.

(c) Each Guarantor further agrees (i) to pay any and all documented expenses (including, without limitation, all documented fees and disbursements of counsel) which may be paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party in enforcing, or obtaining advice of counsel in respect of, any rights with respect to, or collecting, any or all of the Obligations and/or enforcing any rights with respect to, or collecting against, any Guarantor under this Guarantee and (ii) to indemnify each Secured Party as set forth in Section 11.6 of the Credit Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in the definition of “Obligations” contained in the Credit Agreement, this Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect until the Obligations are paid in full, no Letters of Credit remain outstanding (unless such Letters of Credit have been fully Cash Collateralized) and the Commitments are terminated, notwithstanding that from time to time prior thereto the Loan Parties may be free from any Obligations.

(d) Each Guarantor agrees that the Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder without impairing this Guarantee or affecting the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party hereunder.

(e) No payment or payments made by the Borrower, any Guarantor, any other Loan Party, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party from the Borrower, any Guarantor, any other Loan Party, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of the Guarantors hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment or payments other than payments made by any Guarantor in respect of the Obligations or payments received or collected from any Guarantor in respect of the Obligations, remain liable for the Obligations up to the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder until the Obligations are paid in full, no Letters of Credit remain outstanding (unless such Letters of Credit have been fully Cash Collateralized) and the Commitments are terminated.

-2-

(f) Each Guarantor agrees that whenever, at any time, or from time to time, it shall make any payment to the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party on account of its liability hereunder, it will notify the Administrative Agent in writing that such payment is made under this Guarantee for such purpose.

(g) Each Guarantor shall pay additional amounts to, and indemnify, each Secured Party (including for purposes of this Section 2, any assignee, successor or participant) with respect to Taxes imposed on payments pursuant to this Guarantee to the same extent as the Borrower would have paid additional amounts and indemnified such Secured Party with respect to Taxes under Section 4.10 and 4.11 of the Credit Agreement, if such Guarantor were the Borrower under the Credit Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, any such payments are in addition to each Guarantor’s obligation to pay any amounts required to be paid by the Loan Parties to any Secured Party. The agreements in this Section 2(g) shall survive the termination of this Guarantee and the payment of the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations, the Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement.

(h) Each Guarantor further agrees that any payment to the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party on account of its liability hereunder will be made without withholding for any Taxes, unless such withholding is required by law. If any Guarantor determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it is so required to withhold Taxes, then such Guarantor may so withhold and shall timely pay the full amount of withheld Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(i) Each Guarantor agrees to assume all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrower’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that each Guarantor assumes and incurs under this Guarantee, and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender nor any Lender shall have any duty to advise any Guarantor of information known to it regarding those circumstances or risks.

3. Right of Contribution. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that, to the extent a Subsidiary Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder or in respect of the Obligations, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. The provisions of this Section 3 shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 5. The provisions of this Section 3 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Subsidiary Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties for the full amount guaranteed by it hereunder.

4. Right of Set-off. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Secured Parties provided by Law, each Secured Party shall have the right, without prior notice to the Guarantors, any such notice being expressly waived by the Guarantors to the extent permitted by applicable Law, during the existence of an Event of Default, upon any amount becoming due and payable by any Guarantor hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such

-3-

Secured Party or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of such Guarantor. Each Secured Party agrees promptly to notify the Guarantors and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Secured Party; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

5. No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by the Guarantors hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any Guarantor by any Secured Party, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party against any Loan Party or any other guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by any Secured Party for the payment of any of the Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from any Loan Party or any other guarantor in respect of payments made by any Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties by the Loan Parties on account of the Obligations are paid in full and the Commitments are terminated. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full or any Letter of Credit remains outstanding (other than any Letter of Credit which has been fully Cash Collateralized), such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of the Guarantors unless on deposit in a Controlled Account, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in like form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, if required), to be applied against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties may determine.

6. Amendments, etc. with respect to the Obligations; Waiver of Rights. Each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against such Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by such Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Obligations made by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party may be rescinded by such party and any of the Obligations continued, and any of the Obligations, or the liability of any other party upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party, and the Credit Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith or in connection with any other Obligations may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Administrative Agent (or the Required Lenders or other requisite Secured Parties, as the case may be) may deem advisable from time to time in accordance with the provisions thereof, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party for the payment of any of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for any of the Obligations or for this Guarantee or any property subject thereto. When making any demand hereunder against any Guarantor, the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on any Loan Party, any other guarantor or any other Person, and any failure by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to make any such demand or to collect any payments from any such Loan Party, any such other guarantor or any such other Person or any release of such Loan Party, such other guarantor or such other Person shall not relieve any Guarantor of its obligations or liabilities hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, express or implied, or as a matter of law, of the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party against such Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

-4-

7. Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. Each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party upon this Guarantee or acceptance of this Guarantee, the Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon this Guarantee; and all dealings between the Loan Parties and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guarantee. Each Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Loan Parties, any Guarantor or any other Person with respect to the Obligations. Each Guarantor understands and agrees that this Guarantee shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (a) the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any Note, any other Loan Document or any other document relating to any Obligations, any of the Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Loan Parties against the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of any Loan Party or any Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of any Loan Party or any other Person for any of the Obligations, or of any Guarantor under this Guarantee, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and any Secured Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against any Loan Party or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for any of the Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from any such Loan Party or any such other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of any such Loan Party or any such other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties against any Guarantor.

8. Reinstatement. This Guarantee shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Loan Party, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any Loan Party or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

9. Not Affected by Bankruptcy. Notwithstanding any modification, discharge or extension of any of the Obligations or any amendment, modification, stay or cure of any Secured Party’s rights which may occur in any bankruptcy or reorganization case or proceeding against any Loan Party or any other Guarantor, whether permanent or temporary, and whether or not assented to by any of the Secured Parties, each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that the Guarantors shall be obligated hereunder to pay and perform the Obligations and discharge their other obligations in accordance with the terms of the Obligations and the terms of this Guarantee. Each Guarantor understands and acknowledges that, by virtue of this Guarantee, it has specifically assumed any and all risks of a bankruptcy or reorganization case or proceeding with respect to any Loan Party or any other Guarantor. Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing, any subsequent modification of any of the Obligations in any reorganization case concerning any Loan Party shall not affect the obligation of any Guarantor to pay and perform the Obligations in accordance with the original terms thereof.

-5-

10. Payments. Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to the Administrative Agent without set-off or counterclaim in United States Dollars at the office of the Administrative Agent specified in Section 11.2 of the Credit Agreement.

11. Keepwell. Each Qualified Keepwell Provider hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally, and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under this Guarantee in respect of any Swap Obligation (provided, however, that each Qualified Keepwell Provider shall only be liable under this Section 11 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 11, or otherwise under this Guarantee, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified Keepwell Provider under this Section 11 shall remain in full force and effect until the Obligations are paid in full, no Letters of Credit remain outstanding (except for Letters of Credit which have been fully Cash Collateralized) and the Commitments are terminated. Each Qualified Keepwell Provider intends that this Section 11 constitute, and this Section 11 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

12. Representations and Warranties. Each Guarantor hereby represents and warrants that:

(a) it (i) is duly formed or organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (ii) has the corporate (or analogous) power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, (iii) is duly qualified as a foreign entity and in good standing under the Laws of each jurisdiction where such qualification is required, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (iv) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

(b) it has the corporate (or analogous) power and authority, and the legal right, to execute, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party and has taken all necessary corporate (or analogous) action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Guarantee and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party. Except for (i) the filing of UCC financing statements and equivalent filings for foreign jurisdictions and the taking of applicable actions referred to in Section 5.16 of the Credit Agreement and (ii) the filings or other actions listed on Schedule 5.4 to the Credit Agreement (and including, without limitation, such other authorizations, approvals, registrations, actions, notices, or filings as have already been obtained, made or taken and are in full force and effect), no consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person, including without limitation the FERC, to which a Guarantor or other Loan Party is subject, is required in connection with the borrowings under the Credit Agreement or with the execution, delivery, validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents to which each Guarantor is a party; provided that approval by the FERC may be required for the transfer of direct or indirect ownership or control of FERC Contract Collateral; provided, further, that no approval of the FERC is required for the granting of the security interest in the FERC Contract Collateral to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Security Documents. As of the Closing Date, the only contracts comprising FERC Contract Collateral of the Guarantors and their Subsidiaries as to which further consent of the FERC may be required in connection with the exercise of remedies by the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents are contracts for the transportation and storage of certain Eligible Commodities;

(c) this Guarantee (i) has been, and each other Loan Document to which such Guarantor is a party will be, duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Guarantors and (ii) constitutes, and each other Loan Document to which it is a party when executed and delivered will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Guarantor enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing;

(d) the execution, delivery and performance of this Guarantee and the other Loan Documents to which such Guarantor is a party (i) will not violate any Requirement of Law, including any rules or regulations promulgated by the FERC, in any material respect or where a waiver has not been obtained, in each case to the extent applicable to or binding upon such Guarantor or its Properties, (ii) will not violate a material Contractual Obligation of any Guarantor, except where such violation could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (iii) will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of such Guarantor’s properties or revenues pursuant to any such Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation (other than Liens created by the Security Documents in favor of the Administrative Agent and Liens permitted by Section 8.3 of the Credit Agreement);

(e) no litigation or proceeding to which such Guarantor is party before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of such Guarantor, threatened by or against any Guarantor or against any of their respective properties or revenues (i) with respect to any of the Loan Documents, (ii) with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by or occurring simultaneously with the entering into of any of the Loan Documents in which such litigation or proceeding is material and has a reasonable basis in fact, or (iii) which could, after giving effect to any insurance, bond or reserve, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

(f) except for matters disclosed on the title reports and surveys, including without limitation, minor defects in title that do not interfere with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such properties and assets for their intended purposes, except where the failure to have such title could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, it has defensible title in fee simple to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its real property, and good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its tangible personal property, and none of such property is subject to any Lien except as permitted by Section 8.3 of the Credit Agreement; and

(g) it and each of its Subsidiaries has timely filed or caused to be filed all material Tax returns required to be filed by it and has timely paid all material Taxes due and payable by it or imposed with respect to any of its property and all other material fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority (other than any Taxes the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on its books). There are no Liens for Taxes and no claim is being asserted with respect to Taxes, except for statutory liens for Taxes not yet due and payable or for Taxes the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and, in each case, with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of such Guarantor.

Each Guarantor agrees that the foregoing representations and warranties shall be deemed to have been made by each Guarantor on the date of each borrowing by the Borrower and the date of each issuance of a Letter of Credit under the Credit Agreement on and as of such date of borrowing or issuance, as the case may be, as though made hereunder on and as of such date.

-7-

13. Covenants. Each Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees with the Administrative Agent and each Secured Party that, from and after the date of this Guarantee until the Obligations are paid in full, no Letters of Credit remain outstanding (except for Letters of Credit which have been fully Cash Collateralized) and the Commitments are terminated:

(a) if any Guarantor shall at any time acquire any shares of Capital Stock of any direct or indirect Subsidiary (other than an Exempt CFC or any Subsidiary thereof) which is not a Guarantor hereunder, such Guarantor and such Subsidiary shall promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent an addendum to this Guarantee, substantially in the form of Exhibit A to this Guarantee, duly completed; and

(b) each Guarantor shall comply with each of the covenants and other obligations applicable to the Borrower set forth in the Credit Agreement to the extent such covenants and obligations relate to such Guarantor.

14. Authority of Administrative Agent. Each Guarantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Administrative Agent under this Guarantee with respect to any action taken by the Administrative Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Administrative Agent of any option, right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this guarantee shall, as between the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Administrative Agent and each Guarantor, the Administrative Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Guarantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

15. Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the respective parties hereto to be effective shall be in writing (including by facsimile transmission) and, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly given or made (a) in the case of delivery by overnight mail or delivery by hand, when received, (b) in the case of delivery by mail, three (3) Business Days after being deposited in the mails, postage prepaid, or (c) in the case of delivery by facsimile transmission, when sent and receipt has been electronically confirmed, addressed as follows:

(a) if to the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party, at its address or transmission number for notices provided in Section 11.2 of the Credit Agreement; and

(b) if to any Guarantor, at its address or transmission number for notices set forth under its signature below or as provided in the addendum hereto pursuant to which it was made a party hereto.

The Administrative Agent, each Secured Party and any Guarantor may change its address and transmission numbers for notices by notice in the manner provided in this Section.

16. Severability. Any provision of this Guarantee which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

-8-

17. Integration. This Guarantee represents the agreement of each Guarantor with respect to the subject matter hereof and there are no promises or representations relative to the subject matter hereof not reflected herein.

18. Amendments in Writing; No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.

(a) Neither this Guarantee nor any terms hereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.1 of the Credit Agreement.

(b) No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Law.

19. Section Headings. The section headings used in this Guarantee are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

20. Successors and Assigns. This Guarantee shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Guarantors, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Guarantor may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Guarantee without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the requisite Lenders pursuant to the Credit Agreement (and any purported such assignment or transfer by a Guarantor without such consent of the Administrative Agent and such requisite Lenders shall be null and void).

21. GOVERNING LAW. THIS GUARANTEE AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

22. Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Guarantee and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof;

-9-

(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such Guarantor at its address set forth under its signature below or at such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant hereto;

(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to xxx in any other jurisdiction; and

(e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

23. Acknowledgments. Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that:
