(i) Swing Line Loans shall be made in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of that amount.

(ii) Whenever Borrower desires that Swing Line Lender make a Swing Line Loan, Borrower shall deliver to Swing Line Lender and Administrative Agent a Funding Notice no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the proposed Credit Date. Unless Swing Line Lender has received notice from Administrative Agent to the contrary, Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to rely on any certification from Borrower contained in any Funding Notice to the effect that the conditions precedent to the issuance of any requested Swing Line Loan have been satisfied in full, including, without limitation, the condition set forth in Section 3.03(b)).

(iii) Unless Swing Line Lender has received notice from Administrative Agent that the conditions precedent to the making of any requested Swing Line Loan have not been satisfied in full, then Swing Line Lender shall make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to Administrative Agent by no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the applicable Credit Date by wire transfer of same day funds in Dollars, at Administrative Agent’s Principal Office.

(iv) With respect to any Swing Line Loans which have not been voluntarily prepaid by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.13, Swing Line Lender may at any time in its sole and absolute discretion (but no less frequently than weekly), deliver to Administrative Agent (with a copy to Borrower), no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) at least one Business Day in advance of the proposed Credit Date, a notice (which shall be deemed to be a Funding Notice given by Borrower) requesting that each Revolving Lender holding a Revolving Commitment make Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans to Borrower on such Credit Date in an amount equal to the amount of such Swing Line Loans (the “Refunded Swing Line Loans”) outstanding on the date such notice is given which Swing Line Lender requests Revolving Lenders to prepay. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, (A) the proceeds of such Revolving Loans made by the Revolving Lenders other than Swing Line Lender shall be immediately delivered by Administrative Agent to Swing Line Lender (and not to Borrower) and applied to repay a corresponding portion of the Refunded Swing Line Loans and (B) on the day such Revolving Loans are made, Swing Line Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Refunded Swing Line Loans shall be deemed to be paid with the proceeds of a Revolving Loan made by Swing Line Lender to Borrower, and such portion of the Swing Line Loans deemed to be so paid shall no longer be outstanding as Swing Line Loans and shall no longer be due under the Swing Line Note of Swing Line Lender but shall instead constitute part of Swing Line Lender’s outstanding Revolving Loans to Borrower and shall be due under the Revolving Loan Note issued by Borrower to Swing Line Lender. Borrower hereby authorizes Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender to charge Borrower’s accounts with Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender (up to the amount available in each such account) in order to immediately pay Swing Line Lender the amount of the Refunded Swing Line Loans to the extent of the proceeds of such Revolving Loans made by Revolving Lenders, including the Revolving Loans deemed to be made by Swing Line Lender, are not sufficient to repay in full the Refunded Swing Line Loans. If any portion of any such amount paid (or deemed to be paid) to Swing Line Lender should be recovered by or on behalf of Borrower from Swing Line Lender in bankruptcy, by assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered shall be ratably shared among all Revolving Lenders in the manner contemplated by Section 2.17.

(v) If for any reason Revolving Loans are not made pursuant to Section 2.03(b)(iv) in an amount sufficient to repay any amounts owed to Swing Line Lender in respect of any outstanding Swing Line Loans on or before the third Business Day after demand for payment thereof by Swing Line Lender, each Revolving Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall be deemed to, and hereby agrees to, have purchased a participation in such outstanding Swing Line Loans, and in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the applicable unpaid amount together with accrued interest thereon. Upon one Business Day’s notice from Swing Line Lender, each Revolving Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall deliver to Swing Line Lender an amount equal to its respective participation in the applicable unpaid amount in same day funds at the Principal Office of Swing Line Lender. In order to evidence such participation each Revolving Lender holding a Revolving Commitment agrees to enter into a participation agreement at the request of Swing Line Lender in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Swing Line Lender. In the event any Revolving Lender holding a Revolving Commitment fails to make available to Swing Line Lender the amount of such Revolving Lender’s participation as provided in this paragraph, Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Revolving Lender together with interest thereon at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(vi) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, (A) each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans for the purpose of repaying any Refunded Swing Line Loans pursuant to the second preceding paragraph and each Revolving Lender’s obligation to purchase a participation in any unpaid Swing Line Loans pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including without limitation (1) any set off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Lender may have against Swing Line Lender, any Credit Party or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (2) the occurrence or continuation of a Default or Event of Default; (3) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of any Credit Party; (4) any breach of this Agreement or any other Credit Document by any party thereto; or (5) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that such obligations of each Revolving Lender are subject to the condition that Swing Line Lender believed in good faith that all conditions under Section 3.03 to the making of the applicable Refunded Swing Line Loans or other unpaid Swing Line Loans, were satisfied at the time such Refunded Swing Line Loans or unpaid

Swing Line Loans were made, or the satisfaction of any such condition not satisfied had been waived by the Requisite Lenders prior to or at the time such Refunded Swing Line Loans or other unpaid Swing Line Loans were made; and (B) Swing Line Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swing Line Loans (1) if it has elected not to do so after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default or Event of Default or (2) so long as any Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender, unless Swing Line Lender has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and Borrower to eliminate Swing Line Lender’s risk with respect to the Defaulting Lender’s participation in such Swing Line Loan, including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Swing Line Loans.

(vii) Upon the request by Swing Line Lender to have a Revolving Loan made for the purpose of repaying any Refunded Swing Line Loan pursuant to the preceding paragraph (iv) or the request by Swing Line Lender to have Revolving Lender purchase a participation in any unpaid Swing Line Loans pursuant to the preceding paragraph (v), unless Swing Line Lender has received notice from Administrative Agent that the conditions precedent under Section 3.03 were not satisfied in full at the time that the Swing Line Loan was made to Borrower to which such Refunded Swing Line Loan relates or to which such participation in any unpaid Swing Line Loans relates, Swing Line Lender shall be deemed to have satisfied the condition of possessing a good faith belief that all conditions precedent under Section 3.03 have been satisfied for purposes of the immediately preceding paragraph (vi).

Section 2.04. Issuance of Letters of Credit and Purchase of Participations Therein.

(a) Letters of Credit. During the Revolving Commitment Period (and on the Closing Date, in the case of any Existing Letters of Credit), subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Issuing Bank agrees to issue Letters of Credit for the account of Borrower in the aggregate amount up to but not exceeding the Letter of Credit Sublimit; provided, (i) each Letter of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars; (ii) the stated amount of each Letter of Credit (other than any Existing Letters of Credit or any requested replacements thereof) shall not be less than $100,000 or such lesser amount as is acceptable to Issuing Bank; (iii) after giving effect to such issuance, in no event shall (A) the Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments exceed the lesser of (1) the Revolving Commitments then in effect and (2) the Borrowing Base then in effect nor (B) the Aggregate Credit Exposure exceed the Collateral Amount then in effect; (iv) after giving effect to such issuance, in no event shall the Letter of Credit Usage exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit then in effect; (v) in no event shall any Standby Letter of Credit have an expiration date later than the earlier of (A) the date set forth in clause (a) of the

definition of “Termination Date” and (B) the date which is one year from the date of issuance of such Standby Letter of Credit; and (vi) in no event shall any Commercial Letter of Credit (x) have an expiration date later than the earlier of (A) the Termination Date and (B) the date which is 180 days from the date of issuance of such Commercial Letter of Credit or (y) be issued if such Commercial Letter of Credit is otherwise unacceptable to Issuing Bank in its reasonable discretion. Each Existing Letter of Credit issued for the account of Borrower under the Prepetition Revolving Credit Agreement will be deemed to have been issued hereunder by the applicable Issuing Bank and continued for the account of Borrower under this Agreement, in each case, on and as of the Closing Date. Subject to the foregoing, Issuing Bank may agree that a Standby Letter of Credit will automatically be extended for one or more successive periods not to exceed one year each, unless Issuing Bank elects not to extend for any such additional period (it being understood that Issuing Bank shall use reasonable efforts to notify Borrower of any such election on or before the date Issuing Bank is required to notify the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit of such election pursuant to the terms of such Letter of Credit); provided, Issuing Bank shall not extend any such Letter of Credit if it has received written notice that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time Issuing Bank must elect to allow such extension; provided, further, so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue any Letter of Credit, unless Issuing Bank has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and Borrower in accordance with the terms of Section 2.22.

(b) Notice of Issuance. Whenever Borrower desires the issuance of a Letter of Credit, it shall deliver to Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank an Issuance Notice no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least three Business Days (in the case of Standby Letters of Credit) or five Business Days (in the case of Commercial Letters of Credit), or in each case such shorter period as may be agreed to by Issuing Bank in any particular instance, in advance of the proposed date of issuance. Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 3.03, Issuing Bank shall issue the requested Letter of Credit only in accordance with Issuing Bank’s standard operating procedures. If requested by Issuing Bank, Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. Upon the issuance of a Letter of Credit, Issuing Bank shall promptly notify each Monitoring Agent of such issuance, which notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment or modification to a Letter of Credit. In the event there shall be any conflict between the terms contained in any Issuance Notice, letter of credit application and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern. Unless the Issuing Bank has received notice from Administrative Agent to the contrary, the Issuing Bank shall be entitled to rely on any certification from Borrower contained in any Issuance Notice or letter of credit application to the effect that the conditions precedent to the issuance of any

requested Letter of Credit have been satisfied in full, including, without limitation, the condition set forth in Section 3.03(b).

(c) Responsibility of Issuing Bank With Respect to Requests for Drawings and Payments. In determining whether to honor any drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, Issuing Bank shall be responsible only to examine the documents delivered under such Letter of Credit with reasonable care so as to ascertain whether they appear on their face to be in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. As between Borrower and Issuing Bank, Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit issued by Issuing Bank, by the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Borrower’s obligation to reimburse any payment made by Issuing Bank pursuant to a Letter of Credit as provided in paragraph (f) of this Section 2.04 shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such 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; (iii) payment by Issuing Bank 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; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of Issuing Bank, including any Governmental Acts; or (ix) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.04, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, Borrower’s obligations hereunder; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse Issuing Bank from liability to Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by Borrower that are caused by Issuing Bank’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 Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), Issuing Bank 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, Issuing Bank 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.

(d) Reimbursement by Borrower of Amounts Drawn or Paid Under Letters of Credit. In the event Issuing Bank has determined to honor a drawing under a Letter of Credit, it shall immediately notify Borrower and Administrative Agent, and Borrower shall reimburse Issuing Bank on the date on which such drawing is honored (the “Reimbursement Date”) in an amount in Dollars and in same day funds equal to the amount of such honored drawing; provided, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) unless Borrower shall have notified Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date such drawing is honored that Borrower intends to reimburse Issuing Bank for the amount of such honored drawing with funds other than the proceeds of Revolving Loans, Borrower shall be deemed to have given a timely Funding Notice to Administrative Agent requesting Revolving Lenders to make Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans on the Reimbursement Date in an amount in Dollars equal to the amount of such honored drawing, and (ii) subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions specified in Section 3.03, Revolving Lenders shall, on the Reimbursement Date, make Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans in the amount of such honored drawing, the proceeds of which shall be applied directly by Administrative Agent to reimburse Issuing Bank for the amount of such honored drawing; and provided further, if for any reason proceeds of Revolving Loans are not received by Issuing Bank on the Reimbursement Date in an amount equal to the amount of such honored drawing, Borrower shall reimburse Issuing Bank, on demand, in an amount in same day funds equal to the excess of the amount of such honored drawing over the aggregate amount of such Revolving Loans, if any, which are so received. Nothing in this Section 2.04(d) shall be deemed to relieve any Revolving Lender from its obligation to make Revolving Loans on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and Borrower shall retain any and all rights it may have against any Revolving Lender resulting from the failure of such Revolving Lender to make such Revolving Loans under this Section 2.04(d).

(e) Revolving Lenders’ Purchase of Participations in Letters of Credit. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Revolving Lender having a Revolving Commitment shall be deemed to have purchased, and hereby agrees to irrevocably purchase, from Issuing Bank a participation in such Letter of

Credit and any drawings honored thereunder in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share (with respect to the Revolving Commitments) of the maximum amount which is or at any time may become available to be drawn thereunder. In the event that Borrower shall fail for any reason to reimburse Issuing Bank as provided in Section 2.04(d), Issuing Bank shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of the unreimbursed amount of such honored drawing and of such Revolving Lender’s respective participation therein based on such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Commitments. Each Revolving Lender shall make available to Issuing Bank an amount equal to its respective participation, in Dollars and in same day funds, at the office of Issuing Bank specified in such notice, not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the first business day (under the laws of the jurisdiction in which such office of Issuing Bank is located) after the date notified by Issuing Bank. In the event that any Revolving Lender fails to make available to Issuing Bank on such business day the amount of such Revolving Lender’s participation in such Letter of Credit as provided in this Section 2.04(e), Issuing Bank shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Revolving Lender together with interest thereon at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. In the event Issuing Bank shall have been reimbursed by other Revolving Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.04(e) for all or any portion of any drawing honored by Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit, such Issuing Bank shall distribute to each Revolving Lender which has paid all amounts payable by it under this Section 2.04(e) with respect to such honored drawing such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all payments subsequently received by Issuing Bank from Borrower in reimbursement of such honored drawing when such payments are received. Any such distribution shall be made to a Revolving Lender at its primary address set forth below its name on Appendix B or at such other address as such Revolving Lender may request.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of Borrower to reimburse Issuing Bank for drawings honored under the Letters of Credit issued by it and to repay any Revolving Loans made by Revolving Lenders pursuant to Section 2.04(d) and the obligations of Revolving Lenders under Section 2.04(e) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms hereof under all circumstances including any of the following circumstances: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit; (ii) the existence of any claim, set off, defense or other right which Borrower or any Revolving Lender may have at any time against a beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be acting), Issuing Bank, Revolving Lender or any other Person or, in the case of a Revolving Lender, against Borrower, whether in connection herewith, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between Borrower or one of its Restricted Subsidiaries and

the beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured); (iii) any draft or other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (iv) payment by Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; (v) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of SuperHoldCo or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries; (vi) any breach hereof or of any other Credit Document by any party thereto; (vii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; or (viii) the fact that an Event of Default or a Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(g) Indemnification. Without duplication of any obligation of Borrower under Section 11.02 or 11.03, in addition to amounts payable as provided herein, Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless Issuing Bank from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel and allocated costs of internal counsel) which Issuing Bank may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (i) the issuance of any Letter of Credit by Issuing Bank, other than as a result of (A) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Issuing Bank or (B) the wrongful dishonor by Issuing Bank of a proper demand for payment made under any Letter of Credit issued by it, or (ii) the failure of Issuing Bank to honor a drawing under any such Letter of Credit as a result of any Governmental Act.

Section 2.05. Pro Rata Shares; Availability of Funds.

(a) Pro Rata Shares. All Loans shall be made, and all participations purchased, by Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their respective Pro Rata Shares, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby nor shall any Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of a default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby.

(b) Availability of Funds. Unless Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the applicable Credit Date that such Lender does not intend to make available to Administrative Agent the amount of such Lender’s Loan requested on such Credit Date, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to Administrative Agent on such Credit Date and Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, but shall not be obligated to, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount on such Credit Date. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to

Administrative Agent by such Lender, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from such Credit Date until the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to Administrative Agent together with interest thereon, for each day from such Credit Date until the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent, at the rate payable hereunder for ABR Loans. Nothing in this Section 2.05(b) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

Section 2.06. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans will be used (a) on the Closing Date, to repay in full the indebtedness outstanding as of the commencement of the Cases under the Prepetition Revolving Credit Agreement (other than the Existing Letters of Credit, which shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit hereunder, and the Existing Banking Services Obligations, which shall be deemed to be Banking Services Obligations hereunder) and to pay the fees, costs and expenses incurred by Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with the Cases and (b) for general corporate purposes of SuperHoldCo and its Restricted Subsidiaries, including permitted Capital Expenditures, working capital, allowed administrative expenses incurred during the Cases or such expenses as have otherwise been approved by the Bankruptcy Court and for the purposes set forth in the Orders, in each case as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, following commencement of the Cases. The proceeds of the Credit Facilities may not be used in connection with the investigation, initiation or prosecution of any claims against any Agent, any Lender or Issuing Bank under the Prepetition Revolving Credit Agreement and/or the Credit Facilities, provided that, advisors to the Committee may use not more than $100,000 of such proceeds to investigate (but not initiate or prosecute any claims with respect to) the Liens granted pursuant to the Prepetition Revolving Credit Agreement. No portion of the proceeds of any Credit Extension shall be used (x) to fund any Notes Debt Payment with respect to which a Notes Payment Reserve has not been established at least 5 Business Days prior to the payment date of such Notes Debt Payment or (y) in any manner that causes or might cause such Credit Extension or the application of such proceeds to violate Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X of the Board or any other regulation thereof or to violate the Exchange Act. Letters of Credit will be issued only for general corporate purposes.

Section 2.07. Evidence of Debt; Register; Lenders’ Books and Records; Notes.

(a) Lenders’ Evidence of Debt. Each Lender shall maintain on its internal records an account or accounts evidencing the Obligations of Borrower to such Lender, including the amounts of the Loans made by it and each repayment and prepayment in respect thereof. Any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower, absent manifest error; provided, that the failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender’s Commitments or Borrower’s Obligations in respect of any applicable Loans; and provided further, in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Lender’s records, the recordations in the Register shall govern.

(b) Register. Administrative Agent (or its agent or sub-agent appointed by it) shall maintain at the Principal Office a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders and the Revolving Commitments and Loans of each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower, any Lender or any Issuing Bank (with respect to any entry relating to such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s Loans) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Administrative Agent shall record, or shall cause to be recorded, in the Register the Revolving Commitments and the Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.06, and each repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans, and any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower and each Lender, absent manifest error; provided, failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender’s Revolving Commitments or Borrower’s Obligations in respect of any Loan. Borrower hereby designates JPMCB to serve as Borrower’s agent solely for purposes of maintaining the Register as provided in this Section 2.07, and Borrower hereby agrees that, to the extent JPMCB serves in such capacity, JPMCB and its officers, directors, employees, agents, sub-agents and Affiliates shall constitute “Indemnitees.”

(c) Notes. If so requested by any Lender by written notice to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, or at any time thereafter, Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (and/or, if applicable and if so specified in such notice, to any Person who is an assignee of such Lender pursuant to and in accordance with Section 11.06) on the Closing Date (or, if such notice is delivered after the Closing Date, promptly after Borrower’s receipt of such notice) a Note or Notes to evidence such Lender’s Term Loan, Revolving Loan or Swing Line Loan, as the case may be.

(d) Cash Management. All funds held by Borrower or any other Credit Party (except as permitted by Section 9.01(e)(iii)) shall be deposited in one or more dominion and control bank or investment accounts, in each case with a Lender and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent (it being agreed that the cash management system in place as of the date hereof, including the ACH Letter Agreement, is satisfactory), and, following the

occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Dominion Trigger Event shall be applied on a daily basis to the repayment of the Swing Line Loans and, thereafter, to any Revolving Loans which become due, without a reduction in the Revolving Commitments.

Section 2.08. Interest on Loans.

(a) Except as otherwise set forth herein, each Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made through repayment (whether by acceleration or otherwise) thereof as follows:

(i) in the case of Term Loans or Revolving Loans,

(A) if an ABR Loan, at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; or

(B) if a Eurodollar Rate Loan, at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus the Applicable Margin;

(ii) in the case of Swing Line Loans, at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans; and

(iii) in the case of Protective Advances, at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans plus, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and, for the avoidance of doubt, in addition to any applicable default interest pursuant to Section 2.10), 2.00%.

(b) The basis for determining the rate of interest with respect to any Loan (except a Swing Line Loan which can be made and maintained as ABR Loans only), and the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loan, shall be selected by Borrower and notified to Administrative Agent and Lenders pursuant to the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, as the case may be. If on any day a Loan is outstanding with respect to which a Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice has not been delivered to Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof specifying the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest, then for that day such Loan shall be an ABR Loan.

(c) In connection with Eurodollar Rate Loans there shall be no more than ten (10) Interest Periods outstanding at any time. In the event Borrower fails to specify between an ABR Loan or a Eurodollar Rate Loan in the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, such Loan (if outstanding as a Eurodollar Rate Loan) will be automatically converted into an ABR Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan (or if outstanding as an

ABR Loan will remain as, or (if not then outstanding) will be made as, an ABR Loan). In the event Borrower fails to specify an Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Loan in the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month. As soon as practicable after 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each Interest Rate Determination Date, Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that shall apply to the Eurodollar Rate Loans for which an interest rate is then being determined for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrower and each Lender.

(d) Interest payable pursuant to Section 2.08(a) shall be computed (i) in the case of ABR Loans on the basis of a 365 day or 366 day year, as the case may be, and (ii) in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, on the basis of a 360 day year, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues. In computing interest on any Loan, the date of the making of such Loan or the first day of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to an ABR Loan being converted from a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such Eurodollar Rate Loan to such ABR Loan, as the case may be, shall be included, and the date of payment of such Loan or the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to an ABR Loan being converted to a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such ABR Loan to such Eurodollar Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be excluded; provided, if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day’s interest shall be paid on that Loan.

(e) Except as otherwise set forth herein, interest on each Loan (i) shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date with respect to interest accrued on and to each such payment date; (ii) shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable in arrears upon any prepayment of that Loan, whether voluntary or mandatory, to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid; and (iii) shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable in arrears at maturity of the Loans, including final maturity of the Loans; provided, however, with respect to any voluntary prepayment of an ABR Loan, accrued interest shall instead be payable on the applicable Interest Payment Date.

(f) Borrower agrees to pay to Issuing Bank, with respect to drawings honored under any Letter of Credit, interest on the amount paid by Issuing Bank in respect of each such honored drawing from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the date such amount is reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrower at a rate equal to (i) for the period from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the applicable Reimbursement Date, the rate of interest otherwise payable hereunder with respect to Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans, and (ii)

thereafter, a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the rate of interest otherwise payable hereunder with respect to Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans.

(g) Interest payable pursuant to Section 2.08(f) shall be computed on the basis of a 365/366 day year for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues, and shall be payable on demand or, if no demand is made, on the date on which the related drawing under a Letter of Credit is reimbursed in full. Promptly upon receipt by Issuing Bank of any payment of interest pursuant to Section 2.08(f), Issuing Bank shall distribute to each Lender, out of the interest received by Issuing Bank in respect of the period from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the date on which Issuing Bank is reimbursed for the amount of such drawing (including any such reimbursement out of the proceeds of any Revolving Loans), the amount that such Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the letter of credit fee that would have been payable in respect of such Letter of Credit for such period if no drawing had been honored under such Letter of Credit. In the event Issuing Bank shall have been reimbursed by Lenders for all or any portion of such honored drawing, Issuing Bank shall distribute to each Lender which has paid all amounts payable by it under Section 2.04(e) with respect to such honored drawing such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any interest received by Issuing Bank in respect of that portion of such honored drawing so reimbursed by Lenders for the period from the date on which Issuing Bank was so reimbursed by Lenders to but excluding the date on which such portion of such honored drawing is reimbursed by Borrower.

Section 2.09. Conversion/Continuation.

(a) Subject to Section 2.18 and so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, Borrower shall have the option:

(i) to convert at any time all or any part of any Term Loan or Revolving Loan equal to $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount from one Type of Loan to another Type of Loan; provided, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may only be converted on the expiration of the Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loan unless Borrower shall pay all amounts due under Section 2.18 in connection with any such conversion; or

(ii) upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any Eurodollar Rate Loan, to continue all or any portion of such Loan equal to $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount as a Eurodollar Rate Loan.

(b) Borrower shall deliver a Conversion/Continuation Notice to Administrative Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) at least one

Business Day in advance of the proposed conversion date (in the case of a conversion to an ABR Loan) and at least three Business Days in advance of the proposed conversion/continuation date (in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of, a Eurodollar Rate Loan). Except as otherwise provided herein, a Conversion/Continuation Notice for conversion to, or continuation of, any Eurodollar Rate Loans (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) shall be irrevocable on and after the related Interest Rate Determination Date, and Borrower shall be bound to effect a conversion or continuation in accordance therewith.

Section 2.10. Default Interest. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the principal amount of all Loans outstanding and not paid when due, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest payments on the Loans or any fees or other amounts owed hereunder and not paid when due, shall thereafter bear interest (including post petition interest in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable bankruptcy laws) payable on demand at a rate that is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder with respect to the applicable Loans (or, in the case of any such fees and other amounts, at a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder for ABR Loans); provided, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans that are not paid when due, upon the expiration of the Interest Period in effect at the time any such increase in interest rate is effective such Eurodollar Rate Loans shall thereupon become ABR Loans and shall thereafter bear interest payable upon demand at a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder for ABR Loans. Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section 2.10 is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Administrative Agent or any Lender.

Section 2.11. Fees.

(a) Borrower agrees to pay to Revolving Lenders having Revolving Exposure:

(i) commitment fees equal to (A) the average of the daily difference between (1) the Revolving Commitments, and (2) the Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments, times (B) the Applicable Revolving Commitment Fee Percentage, per annum; and

(ii) letter of credit fees equal to (A) the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans that are Eurodollar Rate Loans, times (B) the average aggregate daily maximum amount available to be drawn under all such Letters of Credit (regardless of whether any conditions for drawing could then be met and determined as of the close of business on any date of determination).

All fees referred to in this Section 2.11(a) shall be paid to Administrative Agent at its Principal Office and upon receipt, Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Revolving Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof.

(b) Borrower agrees to pay directly to Issuing Bank, for its own account, the following fees:

(i) a fronting fee equal to 0.250%, per annum, times the average aggregate daily maximum amount available to be drawn under all Letters of Credit (determined as of the close of business on any date of determination); and

(ii) such documentary and processing charges for any issuance, amendment, transfer or payment of a Letter of Credit as are in accordance with Issuing Bank’s standard schedule for such charges provided to Borrower and as in effect at the time of such issuance, amendment, transfer or payment, as the case may be.

(c) All fees referred to in Section 2.11(a) and Section 2.11(b)(i) shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year and the actual number of days elapsed and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on April 1, July 1, October 1 and January 1 of each year until the Termination Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Termination Date.

In addition to any of the foregoing fees, Borrower agrees to pay to Agents such other fees, if any, in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon.

Section 2.12. Protective Advances.

(a) Subject to the limitations set forth below, Administrative Agent is authorized by Borrower and the Lenders, from time to time in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion (but shall have absolutely no obligation to), to make Loans to Borrower, on behalf of all Lenders, which Administrative Agent, in its Permitted Discretion, deems necessary or desirable (i) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof or (ii) to pay any other amount chargeable to or required to be paid by Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including payments of reimbursable expenses (including costs, fees, and expenses as described in Section 11.02) and other sums payable under the Credit Documents (any of such Loans are herein referred to as “Protective Advances”); provided that, the aggregate amount of Protective Advances made at any time, together with any other Protective Advances then outstanding, shall not exceed 5.0% of the aggregate Revolving Commitments then in effect; provided further that, the aggregate amount of outstanding Protective Advances plus the aggregate Revolving Exposure shall not exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments. Protective Advances may be made even if the conditions precedent set forth in

Section 3.03 have not been satisfied. The Protective Advances shall be secured by the Liens in favor of Administrative Agent in and to the Collateral and shall constitute Obligations hereunder. All Protective Advances shall be ABR Loans. Administrative Agent’s authorization to make Protective Advances may be revoked at any time by the Requisite Lenders. Any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof. At any time that there is sufficient Revolver Excess Availability and the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.03 have been satisfied, Administrative Agent may request the Revolving Lenders to make a Revolving Loan to repay a Protective Advance. At any other time Administrative Agent may require the Lenders to fund their risk participations described in Section 2.12(b).

(b) Upon the making of a Protective Advance by Administrative Agent (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default), each Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from Administrative Agent without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Protective Advance in proportion to its Pro Rata Share. From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender is required to fund its participation in any Protective Advance purchased hereunder, Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by Administrative Agent in respect of such Protective Advance.

Section 2.13. Voluntary Prepayments/Commitment Reductions.

(a) Voluntary Prepayments.

(i) Subject to the payment of the Term Prepayment Fee (if applicable) and Section 2.18(c), any time and from time to time, Borrower may prepay any Loans without penalty or premium on any Business Day in whole or in part, in an aggregate minimum amount of $5,000,000 (or $1,000,000 in the case of Swing Line Loans) and integral multiples of $1,000,000 (or $500,000 in the case of Swing Line Loans) in excess of that amount; provided that Term Loans may not be prepaid under this Section 2.13(a) unless (A) all Revolving Commitments have been terminated, (B) all Revolving Loans have been repaid in full and (C) all outstanding Letters of Credit have been cash collateralized.

(ii) All such prepayments shall be made:

(A) upon not less than one Business Day’s prior written or telephonic notice in the case of ABR Loans;

(B) upon not less than three Business Days’ prior written or telephonic notice in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans; and

in each case given to Administrative Agent or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, by 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the date required and, if given by telephone, promptly confirmed in writing to Administrative Agent (and Administrative Agent will promptly transmit such telephonic or original notice for Revolving Loans by telefacsimile or telephone to each Lender) or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. Upon the giving of any such notice, the principal amount of the Loans specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the prepayment date specified therein. Any such voluntary prepayment shall be applied as specified in Section 2.15(a).

(b) Voluntary Commitment Reductions.

(i) Borrower may, upon not less than three Business Days’ prior written or telephonic notice confirmed in writing to Administrative Agent (which original written or telephonic notice Administrative Agent will promptly transmit by telefacsimile or telephone to each applicable Lender), at any time and from time to time terminate in whole or permanently reduce in part, without premium or penalty, the Revolving Commitments in an amount up to the amount by which the Revolving Commitments exceed the Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments at the time of such proposed termination or reduction; provided, any such partial reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount.

Borrower’s notice to Administrative Agent shall designate the date (which shall be a Business Day) of such termination or reduction and the amount of any partial reduction, and such termination or reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be effective on the date specified in Borrower’s notice and shall reduce the Revolving Commitment of each Revolving Lender proportionately to its Pro Rata Share thereof.

Section 2.14. Mandatory Prepayments. (a) In the event and on such occasion that (i) the Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments exceeds (ii) (A) the lesser of the Revolving Commitments or the Borrowing Base then in effect minus (B) the Availability Block (the excess of clause (i) over clause (ii), a

“Borrowing Base Shortfall”), Borrower shall within one (1) Business Day (in accordance with Section 8.02) first, prepay Protective Advances in full, second, prepay Revolving Loans (including Swing Line Loans) in full and third, cash collateralize the Letter of Credit Usage in an aggregate amount equal to such Borrowing Base Shortfall in full; provided that if at any time following the occurrence of a Borrowing Base Shortfall (x) such event ceases to be continuing (as a result of an increase in the Borrowing Base, Borrower’s prepayment of Revolving Loans or otherwise) and (y) so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Administrative Agent shall, upon the written request of Borrower, promptly return such remaining cash collateral to Borrower.

(b) In the event and on such occasion that (i) the Aggregate Credit Exposure exceeds (ii) (A) the Collateral Amount minus (B) the Availability Block (the excess of clause (i) over clause (ii), a “Collateral Amount Shortfall”), Borrower shall within one (1) Business Day first, prepay Protective Advances in full, second, prepay Revolving Loans (including Swing Line Loans) in full, third, cash collateralize the Letter of Credit Usage in full and fourth, prepay the Term Loans and/or cash collateralize the Term Loans, in each case in full, by depositing funds in the Collateral Amount Account, in an amount equal to such Collateral Amount Shortfall; provided further that if at any time following the occurrence of a Collateral Amount Shortfall (x) such event ceases to be continuing (as a result of an increase in the Collateral Amount, Borrower’s prepayment of Loans or otherwise) and (y) so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Administrative Agent shall, upon the written request of Borrower, promptly return any remaining cash collateral deposited by Borrower as a result of such Collateral Amount Shortfall to Borrower.

(c) In the event and on such occasion that any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of a Credit Party in respect of a Prepayment Event, such Credit Party shall, within three (3) Business Days first, prepay Protective Advances until paid in full, second, prepay Revolving Loans (including Swing Line Loans) until paid in full, third, cash collateralize the Letter of Credit Usage until cash collateralized in full and fourth, prepay the Term Loans until paid in full, in an aggregate amount equal to such Net Proceeds.

(d) In the event and on such occasion that all or any of the Prepetition Revolving Credit Agreement Obligations are subsequently reinstated after the repayment thereof as authorized by the Interim Order because such payment (or any portion thereof) is required to be returned or repaid to the Credit Parties or the Lenders (which might include the disgorgement or re-allocation of interest, fees, principal or other incremental consideration paid in respect of the Prepetition Revolving Credit Agreement Obligations or the avoidance of Liens and/or guarantees with respect to one or more of the Credit Parties), Borrower shall, within one (1) Business Day first, prepay the Revolving Loans in full, with a corresponding termination of Revolving Commitments in the aggregate amount of

Revolving Loans so prepaid, second, cash collateralize the Letter of Credit Usage in full, with a corresponding termination of Revolving Commitments in the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Usage so cash collateralized and third, terminate the remainder of the Revolving Commitments outstanding at such time in full, in an aggregate amount equal to the amount of any such reinstated Prepetition Revolving Credit Agreement Obligations; provided that the amount of any funds paid directly by the Prepetition Revolving Credit Agreement Lenders to the Lenders in connection with the reinstatement of such Prepetition Revolving Credit Agreement Obligations shall be deemed to be prepaid by Borrower and shall be applied in accordance with this Section 2.14(d).

Section 2.15. Application of Prepayments.

(a) Application of Voluntary Prepayments by Type of Revolving Loans. Any prepayment of any Loan pursuant to Section 2.13(a) shall be applied as specified by Borrower in the applicable notice of prepayment; provided, in the event Borrower fails to specify the Revolving Loans to which any such prepayment shall be applied, such prepayment shall be applied as follows (without reduction of the Revolving Commitments):

first, to repay outstanding Protective Advances to the full extent thereof;

second, to repay outstanding Swing Line Loans to the full extent thereof; and

third, to repay outstanding Revolving Loans to the full extent thereof.

(b) Application of Prepayments of Loans to ABR Loans and Eurodollar Rate Loans. Any prepayment of any Loan of any Class shall be applied first to ABR Loans of such Class to the full extent thereof before application to Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Class, in each case in a manner which minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18(c).

Section 2.16. General Provisions Regarding Payments.

(a) All payments by Borrower of principal, interest, fees and other Credit Agreement Obligations shall be made in Dollars in same day funds, without defense, setoff or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition, and delivered to Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the date due at the Principal Office designated by Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders; for purposes of computing interest and fees, funds received by Administrative Agent after that time on such due date shall be deemed to have been paid by Borrower on the next succeeding Business Day.

(b) All payments in respect of the principal amount of any Loan (other than voluntary prepayments of Revolving Loans) shall be accompanied by payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid.

(c) Administrative Agent (or its agent or sub-agent appointed by it) shall promptly distribute to each Lender at such address as such Lender shall indicate in writing, such Lender’s applicable Pro Rata Share of all payments and prepayments of principal and interest due hereunder, together with all other amounts due thereto, including, without limitation, all fees payable with respect thereto, to the extent received by Administrative Agent.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions hereof, if any Conversion/Continuation Notice is withdrawn as to any Affected Lender or if any Affected Lender makes ABR Loans in lieu of its Pro Rata Share of any Eurodollar Rate Loans, Administrative Agent shall give effect thereto in apportioning payments received thereafter.

(e) Subject to the provisos set forth in the definition of “Interest Period” as they may apply to Revolving Loans, whenever any payment to be made hereunder with respect to any Loan shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to Revolving Loans only, such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder or of the Revolving Commitment fees hereunder.

(f) Borrower hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to charge Borrower’s accounts with Administrative Agent in order to cause timely payment to be made to Administrative Agent of all principal, interest, fees and expenses due hereunder (subject to sufficient funds being available in its accounts for that purpose).

(g) Administrative Agent shall deem any payment by or on behalf of Borrower hereunder that is not made in same day funds prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) to be a non-conforming payment. Any such payment shall not be deemed to have been received by Administrative Agent until the later of (i) the time such funds become available funds, and (ii) the applicable next Business Day. Administrative Agent shall give prompt telephonic notice to Borrower and each applicable Lender (confirmed in writing) if any payment is non-conforming. Any non-conforming payment may constitute or become a Default or Event of Default in accordance with the terms of Section 8.01(a). Interest shall continue to accrue on any principal as to which a non-conforming payment is made until such funds become available funds (but in no event less than the period from the date of such payment to the next succeeding applicable Business Day) at the rate determined pursuant to Section 2.10 from the date such amount was due and payable until the date such amount is paid in full.

(h) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and not otherwise been waived, and the maturity of the Credit Agreement Obligations shall have been accelerated pursuant to Section 8.01, all payments or proceeds received by Administrative Agent hereunder in respect of any of the Obligations, shall be applied in accordance with Section 8.02.

Section 2.17. Ratable Sharing. Lenders hereby agree among themselves that, except as otherwise provided in the Collateral Documents with respect to amounts realized from the exercise of rights with respect to Liens on the Collateral, if any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment (other than a voluntary prepayment of Loans made and applied in accordance with the terms hereof), through the exercise of any right of set-off or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest, amounts payable in respect of Letters of Credit, fees and other amounts then due and owing to such Lender hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (collectively, the “Aggregate Amounts Due” to such Lender) which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the Aggregate Amounts Due to such other Lender, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall (a) notify Administrative Agent and each other Lender of the receipt of such payment and (b) apply a portion of such payment to purchase participations (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of a participation simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of such payment) in the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by all Lenders in proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Due to them; provided, if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower or otherwise, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangement and agrees that, to the extent permitted by law, any holder of a participation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, set off or counterclaim with respect to any and all monies owing by Borrower to that holder with respect thereto as fully as if that holder were owed the amount of the participation held by that holder.

Section 2.18. Making or Maintaining Eurodollar Rate Loans.

(a) Inability to Determine Applicable Interest Rate. In the event that Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto), on any Interest Rate Determination Date with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loans,

that by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to such Loans on the basis provided for in the definition of Adjusted Eurodollar Rate, Administrative Agent shall on such date give notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrower and each Lender of such determination, whereupon (i) no Loans may be made as, or converted to, Eurodollar Rate Loans until such time as Administrative Agent notifies Borrower and Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, and (ii) any Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice given by Borrower with respect to the Loans in respect of which such determination was made shall be deemed to be rescinded by Borrower.

(b) Illegality or Impracticability of Eurodollar Rate Loans. In the event that on any date any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but shall be made only after consultation with Borrower and Administrative Agent) that the making, maintaining or continuation of its Eurodollar Rate Loans (i) has become unlawful as a result of compliance by such Lender in good faith with any law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or would conflict with any such treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith could not be unlawful), or (ii) has become impracticable, as a result of contingencies occurring after the date hereof which materially and adversely affect the London interbank market or the position of such Lender in that market, then, and in any such event, such Lender shall be an “Affected Lender” and it shall on that day give notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrower and Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). Thereafter (A) the obligation of the Affected Lender to make Loans as, or to convert Loans to, Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such notice shall be withdrawn by the Affected Lender, (B) to the extent such determination by the Affected Lender relates to a Eurodollar Rate Loan then being requested by Borrower pursuant to a Funding Notice or a Conversion/Continuation Notice, the Affected Lender shall make such Loan as (or continue such Loan as or convert such Loan to, as the case may be) an ABR Loan, (C) the Affected Lender’s obligation to maintain its outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans (the “Affected Loans”) shall be terminated at the earlier to occur of the expiration of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the Affected Loans or when required by law, and (D) the Affected Loans shall automatically convert into ABR Loans on the date of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a determination by an Affected Lender as described above relates to a Eurodollar Rate Loan then being requested by Borrower pursuant to a Funding Notice or a Conversion/Continuation Notice, Borrower shall have the option, subject to the provisions of Section 2.18(c), to rescind such Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice as to all Lenders

by giving notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Administrative Agent of such rescission on the date on which the Affected Lender gives notice of its determination as described above (which notice of rescission Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, nothing in this Section 2.18(b) shall affect the obligation of any Lender other than an Affected Lender to make or maintain Loans as, or to convert Loans to, Eurodollar Rate Loans in accordance with the terms hereof.

(c) Compensation for Breakage or Non-Commencement of Interest Periods. Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid by such Lender to Lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its Eurodollar Rate Loans and any loss, expense or liability sustained by such Lender in connection with the liquidation or re employment of such funds but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender) a borrowing of any Eurodollar Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Funding Notice or a telephonic request for borrowing, or a conversion to or continuation of any Eurodollar Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Conversion/Continuation Notice or a telephonic request for conversion or continuation; (ii) if any prepayment or other principal payment of, or any conversion of, any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans occurs on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period applicable to that Loan; or (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by Borrower.

(d) Booking of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Subject to Section 2.21, any Lender may make, carry or transfer Eurodollar Rate Loans at, to, or for the account of any of its branch offices or the office of an Affiliate of such Lender.

(e) Assumptions Concerning Funding of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Section 2.18 and under Section 2.19 shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded each of its relevant Eurodollar Rate Loans through the purchase of a Eurodollar deposit bearing interest at the rate obtained pursuant to clause (i) of the definition of Adjusted Eurodollar Rate in an amount equal to the amount of such Eurodollar Rate Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period and through the transfer of such Eurodollar deposit from an offshore office of such Lender to a domestic office of such Lender in the United States of America; provided, however, each Lender may fund each of its Eurodollar Rate Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only for the purposes of calculating amounts payable under this Section 2.18 and under Section 2.19.

Section 2.19. Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy.

(a) Compensation For Increased Costs and Taxes. In the event that any Lender or Recipient (which term shall include Issuing Bank for purposes of this Section 2.19(a)) shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change therein or in the interpretation, administration or application thereof (including the introduction of any new law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order), or any determination of a court or governmental authority, in each case that becomes effective after the date hereof, or compliance by such Lender with any guideline, request or directive issued or made after the date hereof by any central bank or other governmental or quasi governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law): (i) subjects any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes and (B) Other Connection Taxes on gross or net income, profits or revenue (including value-added or similar Taxes)) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; (ii) imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve (including any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserve), special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender (other than any such reserve or other requirements with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans that are reflected in the definition of Adjusted Eurodollar Rate); or (iii) imposes any other condition (other than with respect to a Tax matter) on or affecting such Lender (or its applicable lending office) or its obligations hereunder or the London interbank market; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of agreeing to make, making or maintaining Loans hereunder or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Lender (or its applicable lending office) with respect thereto; then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender or such other Recipient, upon receipt of the statement referred to in the next sentence, such additional amount or amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender or such other Recipient in its sole discretion shall determine) as may be necessary to compensate such Lender or such other Recipient for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder. Such Lender shall deliver to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Lender under this Section 2.19(a), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.

(b) Capital Adequacy Adjustment. In the event that any Lender (which term shall include Issuing Bank for purposes of this Section 2.19(b)) shall have

determined that the adoption, effectiveness, phase in or applicability after the Closing Date of any law, rule or regulation (or any provision thereof) regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein or in the interpretation or administration thereof after the Closing Date by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its applicable lending office) with any guideline, request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency adopted or becoming effective or applicable after the Closing Date (a “Change in Law”), has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Lender’s Loans, Revolving Commitments or Letters of Credit or participations therein or other obligations hereunder with respect to the Loans or the Letters of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, phase in, applicability, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Lender or such controlling corporation with regard to capital adequacy), then from time to time, within five Business Days after receipt by Borrower from such Lender of the statement referred to in the next sentence, Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such controlling corporation on an after tax basis for such reduction; provided that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder, issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof, and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and 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 a Change in Law regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented. No Lender shall be entitled to request any payment pursuant to this Section 2.19(b) unless such Lender is generally demanding payment under comparable provisions of its agreements with similarly situated borrowers. Such Lender shall deliver to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to Lender under this Section 2.19(b), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower will not be required to compensate any Lender (which term shall include the Issuing Bank for purposes of this Section 2.19(c)) for any such increased costs or reduced return incurred by such Lender more than six (6) months prior to such Lender’s written request to Borrower for such compensation.

Section 2.20. Taxes; Withholding, Etc.

(a) Withholding of Taxes; Gross-Up. Each payment by any Credit Party under this Agreement shall be made without withholding for any Taxes, unless such withholding is required by any law. If any Withholding Agent determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it is so required to withhold Taxes, then such Withholding Agent may so withhold and shall timely pay the full amount of withheld Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. If such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, then the amount payable by any Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that, net of such withholding (including such withholding applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section), the applicable Recipient receives the amount it would have received had no such withholding been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower. Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

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

(d) Indemnification by the Credit Parties. The Credit Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient for any Indemnified Taxes that are paid or payable by such Recipient in connection with this Agreement (including amounts paid or payable under this Section 2.20(d)) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The indemnity under this Section 2.20(d) shall be paid within 10 days after the Recipient delivers to Borrower a certificate stating the amount of any Indemnified Taxes so paid or payable by such Recipient and describing the basis for the indemnification claim. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error. Such Recipient shall deliver a copy of such certificate to Administrative Agent.

(e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify Administrative Agent for any Taxes (but, in the case of any Indemnified Taxes, only to the extent that Borrower has not already indemnified Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so) attributable to such Lender that are paid or payable by Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The indemnity under this Section 2.20(e) shall be paid within 10 days

after Administrative Agent delivers to the applicable Lender a certificate stating the amount of Taxes so paid or payable by Administrative Agent. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error.

(f) Status of Lenders.

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, any applicable withholding Tax with respect to any payments under this Agreement shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by law or reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as will enable Borrower or Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to any withholding (including backup withholding) or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.20(f)(ii)(A) through (E) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense (or, in the case of a Change in Law, any incremental material unreimbursed cost or expense) or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative Agent, any Lender shall update any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.20(f). If any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect with respect to a Lender, such Lender shall promptly (and in any event within 10 days after such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy) notify Borrower and Administrative Agent in writing of such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy and update the form or certification if it is legally eligible to do so.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Lender with respect to Borrower shall, if it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies reasonably requested by Borrower and Administrative Agent) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party hereto, duly completed and executed copies of whichever of the following is applicable:

(A) in the case of a Lender that is a U.S. Person, IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax;

(B) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (1) with respect to payments of interest under any this Agreement, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (2) with respect to any other applicable payments under this Agreement, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(C) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender for whom payments under this Agreement constitute income that is effectively connected with such Lender’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States, IRS Form W-8ECI;

(D) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code both (1) IRS Form W-8BEN and (2) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E (a “U.S. Tax Certificate”) to the effect that such Lender is not (a) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, (b) a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, (c) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code and (d) conducting a trade or business in the United States with which the relevant interest payments are effectively connected;

(E) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that is not the beneficial owner of payments made under this Agreement (including a partnership or a participating Lender) (1) an IRS Form W-8IMY on behalf of itself and (2) the relevant forms prescribed in clauses (A), (B), (C), (D) and (F) of this paragraph (f)(ii) that would be required of each such beneficial owner or partner of such partnership if such beneficial owner or partner were a Lender; provided, however, that if the Lender is a partnership and one or more of its partners are claiming the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, such Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Certificate on behalf of such partners; or

(F) any other form prescribed by law as a basis for claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax together with such supplementary documentation necessary to enable Borrower or Administrative Agent to determine the amount of Tax (if any) required by law to be withheld.

(iii) If a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement 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 Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Withholding Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent as may be necessary for the Withholding Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not 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 Section 2.20(f)(iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.20 (including additional amounts paid pursuant to this Section 2.20), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid to such indemnified party pursuant to the previous sentence (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.20(g), in no event will any indemnified party be required to pay any amount to any indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.20(g) if such payment would place such indemnified party in a less favorable position (on a net after-Tax basis) than such indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This Section 2.20(g) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available

its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.20 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other obligations under this Agreement.

(i) Issuing Bank. For purposes of Section 2.20(e) and (f), the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank.

Section 2.21. Obligation to Mitigate. Each Lender (which term shall include Issuing Bank for purposes of this Section 2.21) agrees that, as promptly as practicable after the officer of such Lender responsible for administering its Loans or Letters of Credit, as the case may be, becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would cause such Lender to become an Affected Lender or that would entitle such Lender to receive payments under Section 2.18, 2.19 or 2.20, it will, to the extent not inconsistent with the internal policies of such Lender and any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, use reasonable efforts to (a) make, issue, fund or maintain its Credit Extensions, including any Affected Loans, through another office of such Lender, or (b) take such other measures as such Lender may deem reasonable, if as a result thereof the circumstances which would cause such Lender to be an Affected Lender would cease to exist or the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.18, 2.19 or 2.20 would be materially reduced and if, as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, the making, issuing, funding or maintaining of such Commitments, Loans or Letters of Credit through such other office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise adversely affect such Commitments, Loans or Letters of Credit or the interests of such Lender; provided, such Lender will not be obligated to utilize such other office pursuant to this Section 2.21 unless Borrower agrees to pay all incremental expenses incurred by such Lender as a result of utilizing such other office as described in clause (a) above. A certificate as to the amount of any such expenses payable by Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.21 (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount) submitted by such Lender to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 2.22. Defaulting Lenders. 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:

(a) fees described in Section 2.11 shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender;

(b) the Commitment and Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included for purposes of voting on any matters except (i) such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment may not be increased or extended without its consent and (ii) the principal amount of, or interest or fees payable on, Loans or Letters of Credit may not be reduced or excused or the scheduled date of payment may not be postponed as to such Defaulting Lender (other than pursuant to Section 2.22(a) above) without such Defaulting Lender’s consent;

(c) if any Swing Line Exposure or Letter of Credit Usage exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i) all or any part of the Swing Line Exposure and Letter of Credit Usage of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the Revolving Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders (the “Performing Lenders”) in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares but only to the extent the sum of all Performing Lenders’ Revolving Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of Swing Line Exposure and Letter of Credit Usage does not exceed the total of all Performing Lenders’ Revolving Commitments;

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swing Line Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Bank only Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of Letter of Credit Usage (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) for so long as such Letter of Credit Usage is outstanding;

(iii) if Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Usage pursuant to clause (ii) above, Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of Letter of Credit Usage during the period such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of Letter of Credit Usage is outstanding and cash collateralized;

(iv) if the Letter of Credit Usage of the Performing Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Revolving Lenders pursuant to Section 2.11 shall be adjusted in accordance with the Performing Lenders’ Pro Rata Shares thereof; and

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of Letter of Credit Usage is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice

to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11 (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment that was utilized by such Letter of Credit Usage) and letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.11 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of Letter of Credit Usage shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until and to the extent that such Letter of Credit Usage is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and

(d) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, Swing Line Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Line Loan and the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding Letter of Credit Usage will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the Performing Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by Borrower, and participating interests in any newly made Swing Line Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among Performing Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.22(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

If a Bankruptcy Event with respect to a Lender Parent shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue, the Swing Line Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Line Loan and the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless Swing Line Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with Borrower or such Lender, satisfactory to the Swing Line Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.

In the event that Administrative Agent, Borrower, Swing Line Lender and the Issuing Bank each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swing Line Exposure and Letter of Credit Usage of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment and, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any cash collateral deposited by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.22 shall be promptly returned to Borrower upon written request and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the other Revolving Lenders (other than Swing Line Loans) as Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Revolving Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share.

Section 2.23. Removal or Replacement of a Lender. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that: (a) (i) any Lender (an

“Increased Cost Lender”) shall give notice to Borrower that such Lender is an Affected Lender or that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under Section 2.18, 2.19 or 2.20, (ii) the circumstances which have caused such Lender to be an Affected Lender or which entitle such Lender to receive such payments shall remain in effect, and (iii) such Lender shall fail to withdraw such notice within five Business Days after Borrower’s request for such withdrawal; or (b) (i) any Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender and (ii) such Defaulting Lender shall fail to cure the default as a result of which it has become a Defaulting Lender within five Business Days after Borrower’s request that it cure such default; or (c) in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any of the provisions hereof as contemplated by Section 11.05(a), the consent of Requisite Lenders shall have been obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders (each a “Non-Consenting Lender”) whose consent is required shall not have been obtained; then, with respect to each such Increased Cost Lender, Defaulting Lender or Non-Consenting Lender (the “Terminated Lender”), Borrower may, by giving written notice to Administrative Agent and any Terminated Lender of its election to do so, elect to cause such Terminated Lender (and such Terminated Lender hereby irrevocably agrees) to assign its outstanding Loans and its Revolving Commitments, if any, in full to one or more Eligible Assignees (each a “Replacement Lender”) in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.06 and Terminated Lender shall pay any fees payable thereunder in connection with such assignment; provided, (A) on the date of such assignment, the Replacement Lender shall pay to Terminated Lender an amount equal to the sum of (1) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Terminated Lender, (2) an amount equal to all unreimbursed drawings of Letters of Credit that have been funded by such Terminated Lender, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time and (3) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid fees owing to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 2.11; (B) on the date of such assignment, Borrower shall pay any amounts payable to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 2.18(c), 2.19 or 2.20; and (C) in the event such Terminated Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, each Replacement Lender shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of which such Terminated Lender was a Non-Consenting Lender; provided, Borrower may not make such election with respect to any Terminated Lender that is also an Issuing Bank unless, prior to or simultaneously with the effectiveness of such election, Borrower shall have caused each outstanding Letter of Credit issued thereby to be cancelled. Upon the prepayment of all amounts owing to any Terminated Lender and the termination of such Terminated Lender’s Commitments, if any, in accordance with this Section 2.23, such Terminated Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided, any rights of such Terminated Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive as to such Terminated Lender.

Section 2.24. Determination of Borrowing Base.

(a) Eligible Accounts. On any date of determination of the Borrowing Base, all of the Accounts owned by Borrower and each Borrowing Base Guarantor, and reflected in the most recent Borrowing Base Certificate delivered by Borrower to the Co-Collateral Agents and Administrative Agent shall be “Eligible Accounts” for the purposes of this Agreement, except any Account to which any of the exclusionary criteria set forth below applies. In addition, Administrative Agent reserves the right, at any time and from time to time after the Closing Date, to adjust any of the criteria set forth below, to establish new criteria and to adjust the applicable advance rate with respect to Eligible Accounts, in its Permitted Discretion, subject to the terms of Section 11.05 in the case of adjustments, new criteria or changes in the applicable advance rates which have the effect of making more credit available. Eligible Accounts shall not include any of the following Accounts:

(i) any Account in which Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, does not have a first priority and perfected Lien and such Account shall be free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Collateral Liens;

(ii) any Account that (A) is not owned by Borrower or Borrowing Base Guarantor or (B) was previously owned by the Canadian Subsidiary;

(iii) any Account due from an Account Debtor that is not domiciled in the United States or Canada and (if not a natural Person) organized under the laws of the United States or Canada or any political subdivision thereof;

(iv) any Account that is payable in any currency other than Dollars or, with respect to any Account Debtor domiciled in Canada or organized under the laws of Canada or any political subdivision thereof, Canadian Dollars, unless such Account is supported by an irrevocable letter of credit in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent, issued by a financial institution satisfactory to Administrative Agent and which has been duly transferred to Administrative Agent (together with sufficient documentation to permit direct draws by Administrative Agent thereon);

(v) any Account that does not arise from the sale of goods or the performance of services by Borrower or such Borrowing Base Guarantor in the ordinary course of its business;

(vi) any Account that does not comply with all applicable legal requirements, including, without limitation, all laws, rules, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority (including any Account due from an Account Debtor located in the States of Minnesota or New Jersey unless Borrower or the applicable Borrowing Base Guarantor (at the time the Account was created and at all times thereafter) (A) had filed and has maintained effective a current notice of business activities report with the appropriate office or agency of such States, as applicable, or (B) was and has continued to be exempt from filing such report and has provided the Lenders with satisfactory evidence thereof);

(vii) any Account (A) upon which either Borrower’s or any Borrowing Base Guarantor’s, as applicable, right to receive payment is not absolute or is contingent upon the fulfillment of any condition whatsoever unless such condition is satisfied or (B) as to which either Borrower or any Borrowing Base Guarantor, as applicable, is not able to bring suit or otherwise enforce its remedies against the Account Debtor through judicial or administrative process or (C) that represents a progress billing consisting of an invoice for goods sold or used or services rendered pursuant to a contract under which the Account Debtor’s obligation to pay that invoice is subject to Borrower’s or Borrowing Base Guarantor’s, as applicable, completion of further performance under such contract or is subject to the equitable lien of a surety bond issuer;

106

Section 4.17. Governmental Regulation. Neither SuperHoldCo nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is subject to regulation under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005, the Federal Power Act or the Investment Company Act of 1940 or under any other Federal, state or provincial statute or regulation which may limit its ability to incur Indebtedness or which may otherwise render all or any portion of the Obligations unenforceable. Neither SuperHoldCo nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is a “registered investment company” or a company “controlled” by a “registered investment company” or a “principal underwriter” of a “registered investment company” as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940.

Section 4.18. Margin Stock. Neither SuperHoldCo nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock. No part of the proceeds of the Loans made to such Credit Party will be used to purchase or carry any such Margin Stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any such Margin Stock or for any purpose that violates, or is inconsistent with, the provisions of Regulation T, U or X of the Board.

Section 4.19. Employee Matters. Neither SuperHoldCo nor any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries is engaged in any unfair labor practice that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There is (a) no unfair labor practice complaint pending against SuperHoldCo or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries, or to the best knowledge of SuperHoldCo, Holdings and Borrower, threatened against any of them before the National Labor Relations Board and no grievance or arbitration proceeding arising out of or under any collective bargaining agreement that is so pending against SuperHoldCo or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries or to the best knowledge of SuperHoldCo, Holdings and Borrower, threatened against any of them, (b) no strike or work stoppage in existence or threatened involving SuperHoldCo or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (c) to the best knowledge of SuperHoldCo, Holdings and Borrower, no union representation question existing with respect to the employees of SuperHoldCo or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries and, to the best knowledge of SuperHoldCo, Holdings and Borrower, no union organization activity that is taking place, except (with respect to any matter specified in clause (a), (b) or (c) above, either individually or in the aggregate) such as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.20. Employee Benefit Plans. SuperHoldCo and each of its Consolidated Subsidiaries and each of their respective ERISA Affiliates are in substantial compliance with all applicable provisions and requirements of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder with respect to each Employee Benefit Plan, and have performed all

107

their obligations under each Employee Benefit Plan in all material respects. Each Employee Benefit Plan which is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service or SuperHoldCo or its Consolidated Subsidiaries shall submit an application to the Internal Revenue Service to receive such a letter, indicating that such Employee Benefit Plan is so qualified and nothing has occurred subsequent to the issuance of such determination letter which would cause such Employee Benefit Plan to lose its qualified status. No liability to the PBGC (other than required premium payments), the Internal Revenue Service, any Employee Benefit Plan or any trust established under Title IV of ERISA has been or is expected to be incurred by SuperHoldCo, any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates in an amount, and with a priority, that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that could result in an Event of Default. Except to the extent required under Section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code or similar state or provincial laws and except as set forth on Schedule 4.20, no Employee Benefit Plan provides health or welfare benefits (through the purchase of insurance or otherwise) for any retired or former employee of SuperHoldCo, any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates. The present value of the aggregate benefit liabilities under each Pension Plan sponsored, maintained or contributed to by SuperHoldCo, any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates, (determined on the basis of the actuarial assumptions specified for funding purposes in the most recent actuarial valuation for such Pension Plan), did not exceed the aggregate current value of the assets of such Pension Plan in an amount that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. As of the most recent valuation date for each Multiemployer Plan occurring on or prior to the date hereof for which the actuarial report is available, the potential liability of SuperHoldCo, its Consolidated Subsidiaries and their respective ERISA Affiliates for a complete withdrawal from such Multiemployer Plan (within the meaning of Section 4203 of ERISA), when aggregated with such potential liability for a complete withdrawal from all Multiemployer Plans, based on information available upon request pursuant to Section 4221(e) of ERISA is zero. SuperHoldCo, each of its Consolidated Subsidiaries and each of their ERISA Affiliates have complied with the requirements of Section 515 of ERISA with respect to each Multiemployer Plan and are not in material “default” (as defined in Section 4219(c)(5) of ERISA) with respect to payments to a Multiemployer Plan.

Section 4.21. Specified Prepetition Indebtedness Documents. SuperHoldCo, Holdings and Borrower have delivered to Administrative Agent complete and correct copies of (i) each Specified Prepetition Indebtedness Document and of all exhibits and schedules thereto as of the date hereof and (ii)

108

copies of any material amendment, restatement, supplement or other modification to or waiver of each Specified Prepetition Indebtedness Document.

Section 4.22. Compliance with Statutes, Etc. Each of SuperHoldCo and its Consolidated Subsidiaries is in compliance with all applicable statutes, regulations and orders of, and all applicable restrictions imposed by, all Governmental Authorities, in respect of the conduct of its business and the ownership of its property (including compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws with respect to any Facility or other Real Estate Asset or governing its business and the requirements of any permits issued under such Environmental Laws with respect to any such Facility or other Real Estate Asset or the operations of SuperHoldCo or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries), except as set forth on Schedule 4.14 hereto and except such non-compliance that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.23. Disclosure. No representation or warranty of any Credit Party contained in any Credit Document or in any other documents, certificates or written statements furnished to Lenders by or on behalf of SuperHoldCo or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or to the Bankruptcy Court in connection with the Credit Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact (known to SuperHoldCo, Holdings or Borrower, in the case of any document not furnished by either of them) necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which the same were made. Any projections and pro forma financial information contained in such materials are based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by SuperHoldCo, Holdings or Borrower to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by Lenders that such projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such projections may differ from the projected results. There are no facts known (or which should upon the reasonable exercise of diligence be known) to SuperHoldCo, Holdings or Borrower (other than matters of a general economic nature) that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect and that have not been disclosed herein or in such other documents, certificates and statements furnished to Lenders for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 4.24. Patriot Act. To the extent applicable, each Credit Party is in compliance, in all material respects, with the (a) Trading with the Enemy Act, as amended, and each of the foreign assets control regulations of the Untied States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) and any other enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto, and (b) the Patriot Act. No part of the proceeds of the Loans will be used, directly or indirectly, for any

109

payments to any governmental official or employee, political party, official of a political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended.

Section 4.25. Location of Material Inventory. As of the date hereof, Schedule 4.25 sets forth all locations in the United States and Canada where the aggregate value of Inventory owned by the Credit Parties exceeds $250,000.

Section 4.26. Accuracy of Borrowing Base. At the time any Borrowing Base Certificate is delivered pursuant to this Agreement, each Account and each item of Inventory included in the calculation of the Borrowing Base satisfies all of the criteria stated herein (or of which Borrower has hereafter been notified by Administrative Agent under Section 2.24) to be an Eligible Account and an item of Eligible Inventory, respectively.

Section 4.27. Post-Audit Asset Dispositions. As of the Closing Date, Borrower and the other Credit Parties have not disposed of assets (other than Inventory sold in the ordinary course of their business) which are set forth in the Inventory Appraisal and which have an aggregate fair market value of more than $250,000.

Section 4.28. Collateral Documents.

(a) The Interim Order (or the Final Order, when applicable) is effective to create in favor of Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in and Lien on the Collateral and upon entry of the Interim Order (or the Final Order, when applicable), the Lien created by the applicable Order shall constitute a fully perfected First Priority Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the grantors thereunder in the Collateral, subject to no Liens other than the Permitted Collateral Liens and the Specified Prepetition Liens.

(b) In addition, the Pledge and Security Agreement and each other Collateral Document delivered pursuant to Section 5.11 will, upon execution and delivery thereof and upon entry into the Interim Order (or the Final Order, when applicable), be effective to create in favor of Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in and First Priority Lien on all of the Credit Parties’ right, title and interest in and to the Collateral thereunder, and when (i) financing statements and other filings in appropriate form are filed in the offices specified on Schedule 4 to the Perfection Certificate and (ii) upon the taking of possession or control by Administrative Agent of the Collateral with respect to which a security interest may be perfected only by possession or control under the UCC (which possession or control shall

110

be given to Administrative Agent to the extent possession or control by Administrative Agent is required by each Pledge and Security Agreement), the Lien created by the Pledge and Security Agreement shall constitute under the UCC a fully perfected First Priority Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the grantors thereunder in the Collateral (other than (A) the Intellectual Property (as defined in the Pledge and Security Agreement) and (B) such Collateral in which a security interest cannot be perfected under the UCC as in effect at the relevant time in the relevant jurisdiction), in each case subject to no Liens other than Permitted Collateral Liens and Specified Prepetition Liens.

(c) When the actions set forth in subsection (b)(i) above are taken, and when the Pledge and Security Agreement or a short form thereof is properly filed or recorded in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office, the Lien created by such Pledge and Security Agreement shall constitute under the UCC a fully perfected First Priority Lien (subject in the case of priority only to Permitted Collateral Liens and Specified Prepetition Liens) on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the grantors thereunder in the Intellectual Property (as defined in such Pledge and Security Agreement), in each case subject to no Liens other than Permitted Collateral Liens and Specified Prepetition Liens.

(b) SuperHoldCo does not (i) engage in any trade or business, (ii) own any assets (other than Capital Stock of Holdings which is pledged to Administrative Agent on the Closing Date) nor (iii) have any Indebtedness (other than for the Prepetition SuperHoldCo PIK Notes, intercompany Indebtedness with other Credit Parties and the guarantee obligations with respect to this Agreement) in an aggregate amount that exceeds $50,000.

Section 4.30. Common Enterprise. SuperHoldCo is the direct and beneficial owner and holder of all of the issued and outstanding shares of stock or other Equity Interests in Holdings. Holdings is the direct or indirect and beneficial owner and holder of all of the issued and outstanding shares of stock or other Equity Interests in Borrower and the other Borrowing Base Guarantors. Borrower and the Borrowing Base Guarantors make up a related organization of various entities constituting a single economic and business enterprise so that Borrower and the Borrowing Base Guarantors share a substantial identity of interests such

111

that any benefit received by any one of them benefits the others. Borrower and certain Borrowing Base Guarantors render services to or for the benefit of Borrower and/or the other Borrowing Base Guarantors, as the case may be, purchase or sell and supply goods to or from or for the benefit of the others, make loans, advances and provide other financial accommodations to or for the benefit of Borrower and the Borrowing Base Guarantors (including, inter alia, the payment by Borrower and the Borrowing Base Guarantors of creditors of Borrower and the Borrowing Base Guarantors and guarantees by Borrower and the Borrowing Base Guarantors of indebtedness of Borrower and the Borrowing Base Guarantors and provide administrative, marketing, payroll and management services to or for the benefit of Borrower and the Borrowing Base Guarantors).

On the date of the making of the Term Loans or the Permitted Closing Date Revolving Credit Extensions, the Interim Order will have been entered and will not have been (i) vacated, reversed or stayed or (ii) amended or modified except as agreed in writing by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion and as reasonably acceptable to the Lead Arrangers.

Upon the maturity (whether by the acceleration or otherwise) of any of the obligations of the Credit Parties hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, the Lenders shall, subject to the provisions of Section 8.01 and the Orders, be entitled to immediate payment of such obligations, and to enforce the remedies provided for hereunder, without further application to or order by the Bankruptcy Court.

Each such policy of insurance shall (a) name Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders as an additional insured thereunder as its interests may appear and (b) in the case of each property insurance policy, contain a loss payable clause or endorsement, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Administrative Agent, that names Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders as the loss payee thereunder and provides for at least thirty days’ prior written notice to Administrative Agent of any modification or cancellation of such policy (or 10 days in the event of cancellation for nonpayment of applicable premiums) and waiver of subrogation in favor of Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, of any claim of the applicable insurance company with respect to payments made under such policy.

(a) Environmental Disclosure.

(i) Promptly upon the occurrence of SuperHoldCo’s or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries’ obtaining knowledge thereof, SuperHoldCo shall deliver to Administrative Agent and Lenders written notice describing in reasonable detail (A) any Release that could reasonably be expected to require a Remedial Action or give rise to Environmental Claims resulting in SuperHoldCo or its Consolidated Subsidiaries incurring liability or expenses in excess of $3,000,000, (B) any Remedial Action taken by SuperHoldCo, its Consolidated Subsidiaries or any other Person in response to any Hazardous Materials Activities the existence of which has a reasonable possibility of resulting in one or more Environmental Claims resulting in liability of SuperHoldCo or its Consolidated Subsidiaries in excess of $3,000,000, (C) any Environmental Claims (including any requests for information by a Governmental

120

Authority) that could reasonably be expected to result in liability of SuperHoldCo or its Consolidated Subsidiaries in excess of $3,000,000, and (D) SuperHoldCo’s or its Consolidated Subsidiaries’ discovery of any occurrence or condition at any Facility, or on any real property adjoining or in the vicinity of any Facility, that could cause such Facility or any part thereof to be subject to any material restrictions on the ownership, occupancy, transferability or use thereof under any Environmental Laws;

(ii) SuperHoldCo shall submit to Administrative Agent semi-annually at the time of the delivery of the quarterly financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 5.01 for each Fiscal Quarter ending in June of each Fiscal Year and at the time of the delivery of the annual financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 5.01 for each Fiscal Year, a written report on the status of (A) any non-compliance with Environmental Law, (B) any pending or threatened Environmental Claim, and (C) any Remedial Action that, in each case, could reasonably be expected to give rise to liability of or expenditures by or on behalf of SuperHoldCo or its Consolidated Subsidiaries of $3,000,000 or more. Such report shall specify in reasonable detail (1) the status of each matter described in the preceding sentence, including any significant developments since the date of the prior report, (2) any material technical reports or material correspondence prepared or received relating to each such matter, (3) the current plan for resolution or completion of each such matter, (4) the anticipated cost to achieve such resolution or completion of each such matter, as applicable. At the request of Administrative Agent, SuperHoldCo shall provide Administrative Agent with copies of all material documents related to such matters that are in its or its Consolidated Subsidiaries’ possession or control. At Administrative Agent’s reasonable written request, SuperHoldCo shall, at its own expense, retain an independent environmental engineer reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent to evaluate the adequacy of SuperHoldCo’s and its Consolidated Subsidiaries’ actions to correct, cure or contest any such matter. Such environmental engineer shall prepare and deliver to both SuperHoldCo and Administrative Agent, a report setting forth the results of such evaluation, recommendations for further response actions, and an estimate of the costs thereof;

(iii) SuperHoldCo shall deliver to Administrative Agent and Lenders, prompt written notice describing in reasonable detail (A) any proposed acquisition of stock, assets, or property by SuperHoldCo or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries or Affiliates that could reasonably be expected to expose SuperHoldCo or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries to, or result in, Environmental Claims that could reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect and (B) any proposed action to be taken by SuperHoldCo or any of its

121

Consolidated Subsidiaries or Affiliates to modify current operations in a manner that could reasonably be expected to subject SuperHoldCo or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries to any additional material obligations or requirements under Environmental Laws; and

(iv) SuperHoldCo shall deliver to Administrative Agent and Lenders with reasonable promptness, such other documents and information as from time to time may be reasonably requested by Administrative Agent in relation to any matters addressed by this Section 5.09(a).

(b) Hazardous Materials Activities, Etc. SuperHoldCo shall take, and shall cause each of its Consolidated Subsidiaries promptly to take, any reasonable actions necessary to (i) cure any violation of applicable Environmental Laws by SuperHoldCo or its Consolidated Subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) make an appropriate response to any Environmental Claim against SuperHoldCo or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries and discharge any obligations it may have to any Person thereunder where failure to do so could reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect and (iii) remedy the effect of any Release or other circumstance that could, in the reasonable judgment of SuperHoldCo, give rise to an Environmental Claim.

(i) With respect to any matter disclosed pursuant to Sections 4.14 or 5.09 of this Agreement or that Administrative Agent reasonably believes that there has been a material violation of or material liability with respect to any matter relating to Hazardous Materials Activities, Environmental Claims or Environmental Laws, Administrative Agent and its representatives shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any reasonable time and after reasonable notice, to enter into and observe the condition and operations of the Facilities.

(ii) The exercise of Administrative Agent’s rights under this subsection (c) shall not constitute a waiver of any default by SuperHoldCo or any Consolidated Subsidiary and shall not impose any liability on Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders. In no event will any site visit or observation by Administrative Agent be deemed a representation that Hazardous Materials are or are not present in, on or under any of the Facilities, or that there has been or will be compliance with any Environmental Law and Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have made any representation or warranty to any Person regarding the truth, accuracy or completeness of any report or findings with regard thereto. Without express written authorization, neither SuperHoldCo nor any other

122

Person shall be entitled to rely on any site visit, observation or investigation by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent and the Lenders owe no duty of care to protect SuperHoldCo or any other Person against, or to inform SuperHoldCo or any other party of, any Hazardous Materials or any other adverse condition affecting any of the Facilities. Administrative Agent may in its discretion disclose to SuperHoldCo, or to any other Person if so required by law, any report or findings made as a result of, or in connection with, any site visit, observation or investigation by Administrative Agent. If Administrative Agent is required to disclose any such report or finding to any third party pursuant to law, then Administrative Agent shall provide SuperHoldCo timely written notice of such disclosure and afford SuperHoldCo the opportunity to object or defend against such disclosure at its own and sole cost; provided, that the failure of Administrative Agent to give any such notice or afford SuperHoldCo the opportunity to object or defend against such disclosure shall not result in any liability to Administrative Agent. SuperHoldCo acknowledges that it or its Consolidated Subsidiaries may be obligated to notify relevant Governmental Authorities regarding the results of any site visit, observation or investigation by Administrative Agent and that such reporting requirements are site and fact-specific, and are to be evaluated by SuperHoldCo without advice or assistance from Administrative Agent.

(d) Privileged Documents. If counsel to SuperHoldCo or its Consolidated Subsidiaries reasonably determines that provision to Administrative Agent of a document otherwise required to be provided pursuant to this Section 5.09 would jeopardize an applicable attorney-client or work product privilege pertaining to such document, then SuperHoldCo or its Consolidated Subsidiary shall not be obligated to deliver such document to Administrative Agent but shall provide Administrative Agent with a notice identifying the author and recipient of such document and generally describing the contents of the document. Upon request of Administrative Agent, SuperHoldCo and its Consolidated Subsidiaries shall take all reasonable steps necessary to provide Administrative Agent with the factual information contained in any such privileged document.

Section 5.10. Subsidiaries. In the event that any Person becomes a Domestic Subsidiary of Borrower after the Closing Date, Borrower shall (a) promptly cause such Domestic Subsidiary to become a Guarantor hereunder and a Grantor under the Pledge and Security Agreement by executing and delivering to Administrative Agent a Counterpart Agreement, and (b) take all such actions and execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents, instruments, agreements, and certificates as are similar to those described in Section 3.01(i).

123

to all Subsidiaries of Borrower; provided, such written notice shall be deemed to supplement Schedule 4.01 and 4.02 for all purposes hereof.

Section 5.11. Security Interests; Further Assurances. Promptly, upon the reasonable request of any Agent or any Lender, at Borrower’s expense, Borrower shall (i) execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause the execution, acknowledgment and delivery of, and thereafter register, file or record, or cause to be registered, filed or recorded, in an appropriate governmental office, any document or instrument supplemental to or confirmatory of the Collateral Documents or otherwise deemed by Administrative Agent reasonably necessary or desirable for the continued validity, perfection and priority of the Liens on the Collateral covered thereby superior to and prior to the rights of all third Persons other than the holders of Permitted Liens and subject to no other Liens except as permitted by the applicable Collateral Document; (ii) deliver or cause to be delivered to Administrative Agent from time to time such other documentation, consents, authorizations, approvals and orders in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent as Administrative Agent shall reasonably deem necessary to perfect or maintain the Liens on the Collateral pursuant to the Collateral Documents; and (iii) upon the exercise by any Agent or the Lenders of any power, right, privilege or remedy pursuant to any Credit Document which requires any consent, approval, registration, qualification or authorization of any Governmental Authority, execute and deliver all applications, certifications, instruments and other documents and papers that any Agent or the Lenders may be so required to obtain.

Section 5.12. Miscellaneous Business Covenants. Unless otherwise consented to by Administrative Agent or the Requisite Lenders:

(a) Non-Consolidation. SuperHoldCo will and will cause each of its Consolidated Subsidiaries to: (i) maintain entity records and books of account separate from those of any other entity which is an Affiliate of such entity; (ii) not commingle its funds or assets with those of any other entity which is an Affiliate of such entity (other than such funds of Borrower and the Borrowing Base Guarantors which may be commingled with each other in the ordinary course of their cash management system); and (iii) provide that its board of directors or other analogous governing body will hold all appropriate meetings to authorize and approve such entity’s actions, which meetings will be separate from those of other entities.

Accordingly, in the event any payment or distribution is made on any date by a Guarantor (a “Funding Guarantor”) under this Guaranty such that its Aggregate Payments exceeds its Fair Share as of such date, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each of the other Contributing Guarantors in an amount sufficient to cause each Contributing Guarantor’s Aggregate Payments to equal its Fair Share as of such date. “Fair Share” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (a) the ratio of (i) the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to such Contributing Guarantor to (ii) the aggregate of the Fair Share Contribution Amounts with respect to all Contributing Guarantors multiplied by (b) the aggregate amount paid or distributed on or before such date by all Funding Guarantors under this Guaranty in respect of the Obligations. “Fair Share Contribution Amount” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations of such Contributing Guarantor under this Guaranty that would not render its obligations hereunder or thereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any comparable applicable provisions of a state, provincial or foreign law; provided, solely for purposes of calculating the “Fair Share Contribution Amount” with respect to any Contributing Guarantor for purposes of this Section 7.02, any assets

142

or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any rights to or obligations of contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor. “Aggregate Payments” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (i) the aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor in respect of this Guaranty (including, without limitation, in respect of this Section 7.02), minus (ii) the aggregate amount of all payments received on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor from the other Contributing Guarantors as contributions under this Section 7.02. The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the applicable Funding Guarantor. The allocation among Contributing Guarantors of their obligations as set forth in this Section 7.02 shall not be construed in any way to limit the liability of any Contributing Guarantor hereunder. Each U.S. Guarantor is a third party beneficiary to the contribution agreement set forth in this Section 7.02.

Section 7.03. Payment by Guarantors. Subject to Section 7.02, Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree, in furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Beneficiary may have at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, that upon the failure of Borrower to pay any of the Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise, Guarantors will upon demand pay, or cause to be paid, in Cash, to Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of Beneficiaries, an amount equal to the sum of the unpaid principal amount of all Guaranteed Obligations then due as aforesaid, accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (including interest accruing during the pendency of the Cases, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceedings) and all other Guaranteed Obligations then owed to Beneficiaries as aforesaid.

Section 7.04. Liability of Guarantors Absolute. Each Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder are irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance which constitutes a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, each Guarantor agrees as follows:

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

(b) Administrative Agent may enforce this Guaranty upon the occurrence of an Event of Default notwithstanding the existence of any dispute

143

between Borrower and any Beneficiary with respect to the existence of such Event of Default;

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

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

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

144

operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Guarantor against Borrower or any security for the Guaranteed Obligations; and (vi) exercise any other rights available to it under the Credit Documents; and

(f) this Guaranty and the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination for any reason (other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations), including the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not any Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (i) any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under the Credit Documents, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including provisions relating to events of default) hereof, any of the other Credit Documents or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any other guaranty or security for the Guaranteed Obligations, in each case whether or not in accordance with the terms hereof or such Credit Document or any agreement relating to such other guaranty or security; (iii) the Guaranteed Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect; (iv) the application of payments received from any source (other than payments received pursuant to the other Credit Documents or from the proceeds of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, except to the extent such security also serves as collateral for indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations) to the payment of indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations, even though any Beneficiary might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) any Beneficiary’s consent to the change, reorganization or termination of the corporate structure or existence of SuperHoldCo or any of its Subsidiaries and to any corresponding restructuring of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vi) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a security interest in any collateral which secures any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vii) any defenses, set offs or counterclaims which Borrower may allege or assert against any Beneficiary in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury; and (viii) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing, which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor as an obligor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.

145

Section 7.05. Waivers by Guarantors. Each Guarantor hereby waives, for the benefit of Beneficiaries: (a) any right to require any Beneficiary, as a condition of payment or performance by such Guarantor, to (i) proceed against Borrower, any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from Borrower, any such other guarantor or any other Person, (iii) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any Deposit Account or credit on the books of any Beneficiary in favor of Borrower or any other Person, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the power of any Beneficiary whatsoever; (b) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of Borrower or any other Guarantor including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of Borrower or any other Guarantor from any cause other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (d) any defense based upon any Beneficiary’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations, except behavior which amounts to gross negligence, or willful misconduct; (e) (i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms hereof and any legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, (ii) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (iii) any rights to set offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (iv) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Beneficiary protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or Lien or any property subject thereto; (f) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance hereof, notices of default hereunder or any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to Borrower and notices of any of the matters referred to in Section 7.04 and any right to consent to any thereof; and (g) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms hereof.

Section 7.06. Guarantors’ Rights of Subrogation, Contribution, Etc. Until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Revolving Commitments shall have terminated and all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled, each Guarantor hereby waives any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against Borrower or any other Guarantor or any of its assets in connection with this Guaranty or the performance by such Guarantor of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract,

146

by statute, under common law or otherwise and including without limitation (a) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against Borrower with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, (b) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy that any Beneficiary now has or may hereafter have against Borrower, and (c) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any collateral or security now or hereafter held by any Beneficiary. In addition, until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Revolving Commitments shall have terminated and all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled, each Guarantor shall withhold exercise of any right of contribution such Guarantor may have against any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations, including, without limitation, any such right of contribution as contemplated by Section 7.02. Each Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent the waiver or agreement to withhold the exercise of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification such Guarantor may have against Borrower or against any collateral or security, and any rights of contribution such Guarantor may have against any such other guarantor, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights any Beneficiary may have against Borrower, to all right, title and interest any Beneficiary may have in any such collateral or security, and to any right any Beneficiary may have against such other guarantor. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of any such subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution rights at any time when all Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been finally and indefeasibly paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for Administrative Agent on behalf of Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid over to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Beneficiaries to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms hereof.

Section 7.07. Subordination of Other Obligations. Any Indebtedness of Borrower or any Guarantor now or hereafter held by any Guarantor (the “Obligee Guarantor”) is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the Guaranteed Obligations, and any such indebtedness collected or received by the Obligee Guarantor after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing shall be held in trust for Administrative Agent on behalf of Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid over to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Beneficiaries to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations but without affecting, impairing or limiting in any manner the liability of the Obligee Guarantor under any other provision hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any Guarantor makes a payment under Section 7.01 and also is obligated to Borrower or any Contributing Guarantor on any Account or other Indebtedness of Borrower or any Guarantor and Administrative Agent holds the first Lien with respect to such

147

Account or other Indebtedness, the Guarantor making such payment shall be entitled to offset and reduce the amount of such intercompany Indebtedness on a dollar-for-dollar basis up to the amount of its payment, notwithstanding the fact that such intercompany Indebtedness may represent Collateral hereunder.

Section 7.08. Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in effect until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full and the Commitments shall have terminated and all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty as to future transactions giving rise to any Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 7.09. Authority of Guarantors or Borrower. It is not necessary for any Beneficiary to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Guarantor or Borrower or the officers, directors or any agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any of them.

Section 7.10. Financial Condition of Borrower. Any Credit Extension may be made to Borrower or continued from time to time, without notice to or authorization from any Guarantor regardless of the financial or other condition of Borrower at the time of any such grant or continuation. No Beneficiary shall have any obligation to disclose or discuss with any Guarantor its assessment, or any Guarantor’s assessment, of the financial condition of Borrower. Each Guarantor has adequate means to obtain information from Borrower on a continuing basis concerning the financial condition of Borrower and its ability to perform its obligations under the Credit Documents, and each Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of Borrower and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of any Beneficiary to disclose any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, operations or conditions of Borrower now known or hereafter known by any Beneficiary.

Section 7.11. Discharge of Guaranty Upon Sale of Guarantor. If all of the Capital Stock of any Guarantor or any of its successors in interest hereunder shall be sold or otherwise disposed of (including by merger or consolidation) in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, the Guaranty of such Guarantor or such successor in interest, as the case may be, hereunder shall automatically be discharged and released without any further action by any Beneficiary or any other Person effective as of the time of such Asset Sale.

No remedy herein is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy and each and every remedy 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 or any other provision of applicable law.

ARTICLE 9

COLLATERAL ACCOUNT; APPLICATION OF COLLATERAL PROCEEDS

Section 9.01. Accounts and Account Collections.

(a) Borrower and each Borrowing Base Guarantor shall notify Administrative Agent promptly of: (i) any material delay in the performance by Borrower or any Borrowing Base Guarantor of any of their material obligations to any Account Debtor or the assertion of any material claims, offsets, defenses or counterclaims by any Account Debtor, or any material disputes with Account Debtors, or any settlement, adjustment or compromise thereof, (ii) all material adverse information known to any Credit Party relating to the financial condition of any Account Debtor and (iii) any event or circumstance which, to any Credit Party’s knowledge, would result in any Account no longer constituting an Eligible Account, in each of the foregoing cases to the extent the outstanding amount of the Accounts affected thereby exceeds $500,000 in the aggregate. Borrower and each Borrowing Base Guarantor hereby agree not to grant, or permit its Restricted Subsidiaries to grant, to any Account Debtor any credit, discount, allowance or extension, or to enter into any agreement for any of the foregoing, without

Administrative Agent’s consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except in the ordinary course of business in accordance with practices and policies previously disclosed in writing to Administrative Agent. So long as no Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries and each Borrowing Base Guarantor may settle, adjust or compromise any claim, offset, counterclaim or dispute with any Account Debtor. At any time that an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, Administrative Agent shall, at its option, have the exclusive right to settle, adjust or compromise any claim, offset, counterclaim or dispute with Account Debtors of any Credit Party or grant any credits, discounts or allowances.

(b) With respect to each Account: (i) the amounts shown on any invoice delivered to Administrative Agent or schedule thereof delivered to Administrative Agent shall be true and complete in all material respects, (ii) no payments shall be made thereon except payments immediately delivered to Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any applicable Collateral Document (to the extent so required), (iii) there shall be no setoffs, deductions, contras, defenses, counterclaims or disputes existing or asserted with respect thereto except as reflected in the reporting of the Borrowing Base or otherwise reported to Administrative Agent, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and (iv) none of the transactions giving rise thereto will violate any applicable laws or regulations, all documentation relating thereto will be legally sufficient under such laws and regulations and all such documentation will be legally enforceable in accordance with its terms.

(c) Administrative Agent shall have the right at any time or times, in Administrative Agent’s name or in the name of a nominee of Administrative Agent, and may communicate directly with any Account Debtor, to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any Account or other Collateral, by mail, telephone, e-mail, facsimile transmission or otherwise. To facilitate the exercise of the right described in the immediately preceding sentence, Borrower hereby agrees to provide Administrative Agent upon request the name and address of each Account Debtor of Borrower or any Borrowing Base Guarantor or its Restricted Subsidiaries.

(d) Borrower shall establish and maintain, at its sole expense, and shall cause each Guarantor to establish and maintain, at its sole expense blocked accounts or lockboxes and related deposit accounts (in each case, “Blocked Accounts”), as Administrative Agent may specify, with Xxxxx Fargo Bank (so long as Xxxxx Fargo Bank or an Affiliate thereof is a Lender hereunder) or such other banks as are acceptable to Administrative Agent into which Borrower and Guarantors shall promptly deposit and direct their respective Account Debtors to directly remit all payments on Accounts and all payments constituting proceeds of Inventory or other Collateral in the identical form in which such payments are made, whether by cash, check or other manner and shall be identified and

156

segregated from all other funds of the Credit Parties. Borrower and Guarantors shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Administrative Agent a Deposit Account Control Agreement duly authorized, executed and delivered by each bank where a Blocked Account for the benefit of Borrower or any Guarantor is maintained, and by each bank where any other deposit account is from time to time maintained. Borrower shall further execute and deliver, and shall cause each Guarantor to execute and deliver, such agreements and documents as Administrative Agent may require in connection with such Blocked Accounts and such Deposit Account Control Agreements. Except as permitted by Section 9.01(e)(iii), Borrower and Guarantors shall not establish any deposit accounts after the Closing Date, unless Borrower or Guarantor (as applicable) have complied in full with the provisions of this Section 9.01 with respect to such deposit accounts. After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Dominion Trigger Event, Borrower agrees that all payments made to such Blocked Accounts or other funds received and collected by Administrative Agent or any Lender, whether in respect of the Accounts, as proceeds of Inventory or other Collateral or otherwise shall be treated as payments to Administrative Agent and Lenders in respect of the Obligations and therefore shall constitute the property of Administrative Agent and Lenders to the extent of the then outstanding Obligations.

(e) Borrower and each Guarantor shall maintain a cash management system which is acceptable to Administrative Agent (the “Cash Management System”), it being understood and agreed that the existing cash management system maintained at Xxxxx Fargo Bank as of the date hereof, including the ACH Letter Agreement, is acceptable to Administrative Agent. The Cash Management System shall contain, among other things, the following:

(i) With respect to the Blocked Accounts of Borrower and such Guarantors as Administrative Agent shall determine in its sole discretion, the applicable bank maintaining such Blocked Accounts shall agree, pursuant to the applicable Deposit Account Control Agreement, to forward daily all amounts in each Blocked Account to one Blocked Account designated as a concentration account in the name of Borrower (the “Concentration Account”) at the bank that shall be designated as the Concentration Account bank for Borrower (the “Concentration Account Bank”). The Concentration Account Bank shall agree, pursuant to the applicable Deposit Account Control Agreement from and after the receipt of a notice (an “Activation Notice”) from Administrative Agent (which Activation Notice may only be given after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Dominion Trigger Event), and for the duration of the Dominion Period to forward daily all amounts in the Concentration Account to the account designated as collection account (the “Collection Account”) which shall be under the exclusive dominion and control of Administrative Agent.

157

(ii) With respect to the Blocked Accounts of such Guarantors as Administrative Agent shall determine in its sole discretion, the applicable bank maintaining such Blocked Accounts shall agree, from and after the receipt of an Activation Notice from Administrative Agent (which Activation Notice may only be given by Administrative Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Dominion Trigger Event), to forward all amounts in each Blocked Account to the applicable Collection Account and to commence the process of daily sweeps from such Blocked Account into the Collection Account.

(iii) Any provision of this Section 9.01 to the contrary notwithstanding, (A) Credit Parties may maintain payroll accounts and trust accounts that are not a part of the Cash Management Systems; provided, that, no Credit Party shall accumulate or maintain cash in such payroll accounts as of any date of determination in excess of checks outstanding against such accounts as of that date and amounts necessary to meet minimum balance requirements, (B) Credit Parties may maintain local cash accounts that are not a part of the Cash Management Systems which in the aggregate do not at any time contain funds in excess of $1,000,000, (C) Credit Parties may maintain the Carve Out Account and (D) so long as any Prepetition First Lien Notes or Prepetition Junior Lien Notes remain outstanding, the Credit Parties may maintain the Junior Lien Collateral Proceeds Account.

(f) During any Dominion Period, all funds in the Collection Account will be applied, first, to pay fees and reimbursable expenses of the Monitoring Agents then due and payable, second, to repay Protective Advances outstanding at such time until paid in full, and third, to repay any Revolving Loans (including Swing Line Loans) outstanding at such time. In addition, during any Dominion Period, (x) to the extent there is a Borrowing Base Shortfall, all funds in the Collection Account will be applied, first, to repay any Protective Advances outstanding at such time until paid in full, second, to repay any Revolving Loans (including Swing Line Loans) outstanding at such time until paid in full, and third, to cash collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit in an amount necessary to maintain compliance with the Borrowing Base until cash collateralized in full, (y) to the extent that there is a Collateral Amount Shortfall, all funds in the Collection Account will be applied, first, to repay any Protective Advances outstanding at such time until paid in full, second, to repay any Revolving Loans (including Swing Line Loans) outstanding at such time until paid in full, third, to cash collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit until cash collateralized in full, and fourth, to repay Term Loans outstanding at such time and/or deposit funds as cash collateral in the Collateral Amount Account, in an aggregate amount necessary to maintain compliance with the Collateral Amount until paid (or cash collateralized) in full and (z) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,

158

all funds in the Collection Account and the Collateral Amount Account will be applied (upon not less than five days’ notice), first, to repay any Protective Advances outstanding at such time until paid in full, second, to repay any Revolving Loans (including Swing Line Loans) outstanding at such time until paid in full, third, to cash collateralize Letters of Credit until cash collateralized in full, and fourth, to repay Term Loans outstanding at such time until paid in full. To the extent a mandatory prepayment of the Term Loans is required due to a Collateral Amount Shortfall and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such amount may (i) be applied to prepay the Term Loans or (ii) be deposited as cash collateral in the Collateral Amount Account at the option of Borrower. To the extent that no Protective Advances or Revolving Loans (including Swing Line Loans) are outstanding, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and there is no Borrowing Base Shortfall or Collateral Amount Shortfall, amounts in the Concentration Account and the Collection Account shall be made available to Borrower during any Dominion Period.

(g) Borrower and its directors, employees, agents and other Affiliates and Borrowing Base Guarantors shall, acting as trustee for Administrative Agent, receive, as the property of Administrative Agent, any monies, checks, notes, drafts or any other payment relating to and/or proceeds of Accounts, Inventory or other Collateral which come into their possession or under their control and immediately upon receipt thereof, shall deposit or cause the same to be deposited in the Blocked Accounts, or remit the same or cause the same to be remitted, in kind, to Administrative Agent. In no event shall the same be commingled with Borrower’s own funds. Borrower agrees to reimburse Administrative Agent on demand for any amounts owed or paid to any bank at which a Blocked Account is established or any other bank or Person involved in the transfer of funds to or from the Blocked Accounts arising out of Administrative Agent’s payments to or indemnification of such bank or Person.

Section 9.02. Inventory. With respect to the Inventory: (a) Borrower and Borrowing Base Guarantors shall at all times maintain records of Inventory reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, keeping correct and accurate records itemizing and describing the kind, type, quality and quantity of Inventory, the cost therefor and daily withdrawals therefrom and additions thereto; (b) any of Administrative Agent’s and the Co-Collateral Agents’ officers, employees or agents shall have the right, at any time or times, in the name of Administrative Agent or any Co-Collateral Agent, as applicable, any designee of Administrative Agent, any Co-Collateral Agent or Borrower, to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to Accounts or Inventory by mail, telephone, electronic communication, personal inspection or otherwise and to conduct desktop collateral appraisals of the financial affairs and Collateral of the Credit Parties, and Borrower shall cooperate fully with Administrative Agent and any Co-Collateral Agent in an effort to facilitate and promptly conclude any such verification process; (c) the Credit Parties shall cooperate fully with any Co-Collateral

159

Agent and its agents during all desktop collateral appraisals and Inventory Appraisals each of which shall be at the expense of Borrower and each of which shall be conducted annually (i.e. two desktop appraisals per annum and two Inventory Appraisals per annum), or, following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, more frequently at Administrative Agent’s reasonable request; (d) neither Borrower nor any Borrowing Base Guarantor shall sell Inventory to any customer on approval, or any other basis which entitles the customer to return (except for the right of customers for Inventory which is defective or non-conforming) or may obligate any Credit Party to repurchase such Inventory; and (e) Borrower and each Borrowing Base Guarantor shall keep the Inventory in good and marketable condition. In addition to the other provisions of this Article 9, Co-Collateral Agents shall have the right to conduct such collateral audits as it may determine appropriate; provided at any time when no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing the Co-Collateral Agents shall not conduct more than two such collateral audits in any calendar year.

163

willful misconduct as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. If any indemnity furnished to any Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, such Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished; provided, in no event shall this sentence require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof; and provided further, this sentence shall not be deemed to require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement described in the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence.

After any retiring Co-Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Co-Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Agreement and the Collateral Documents shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement or the Collateral Documents while it was the Co-Collateral Agent hereunder.

(a) Agents under Collateral Documents and Guaranty. Each Secured Party hereby further authorizes Administrative Agent, on behalf of and for the benefit of Secured Parties, to be the agent for and representative of Secured Parties with respect to the Guaranty, the Collateral and the Collateral Documents.

Anything contained in any of the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrower, Administrative Agent, each Co-Collateral Agent and each Secured Party hereby agree that (i) no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the Collateral Documents may be exercised solely

165

by Administrative Agent, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure by Administrative Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale, Administrative Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale and Administrative Agent, as agent for and representative of Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless Requisite Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by Administrative Agent at such sale.

Section 10.09. Documentation Agent.

(a) In addition to the payment of expenses pursuant to Section 11.02, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, each Credit Party agrees to defend (if requested by the Indemnitees and subject to Indemnitees’ selection of counsel), indemnify, pay and hold harmless, each Agent and Lender and the Issuing Bank and the officers, partners, directors, trustees, employees, agents, sub-agents, advisors and Affiliates of each Agent and each Lender and the Issuing Bank (each, an “Indemnitee”), from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided, no Credit Party shall have any obligation to any Indemnitee hereunder with respect to any Indemnified Liabilities to (i) the extent such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee, in each case, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (ii) to the extent arising from any dispute solely among Indemnitees other than (A) any claims against any Agent or the Lead Arrangers acting in such capacity or in fulfilling such role or any similar role under the Credit Facilities and (B) any claims arising out of any act or omission on the part of Borrower or its Subsidiaries. To the extent that the undertakings to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 11.03 may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative of any law or public policy, the applicable Credit Party shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Indemnitees or any of them. This Section 11.03(a) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.

(b) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Credit Party shall assert, and each Credit Party hereby waives, any claim against Lenders, Agents and their respective Affiliates, directors, employees, attorneys, agents or sub-agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) (whether or not the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by any applicable legal

169

requirement) arising out of, in connection with, as a result of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, and SuperHoldCo, Holdings and Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to xxx upon any such claim or any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

Section 11.04. Set Off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default each Lender is hereby authorized by each Credit Party at any time or from time to time subject to the consent of Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), without notice to any Credit Party or to any other Person (other than Administrative Agent), any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including Indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Credit Party against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of any Credit Party to such Lender hereunder, the Letters of Credit and participations therein and under the other Credit Documents, including all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected hereto, the Letters of Credit and participations therein or with any other Credit Document, irrespective of whether or not (a) such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder or (b) the principal of or the interest on the Loans or any amounts in respect of the Letters of Credit or any other amounts due hereunder shall have become due and payable pursuant to Article 2 and although such obligations and liabilities, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured. Administrative Agent and each Lender agree promptly to notify Borrower after any such set-off and application made by such Person; provided, that failure to provide such notice does not affect the validity of any such set-off or create any liability against Administrative Agent, any Co-Collateral Agent or any Lender.

Section 11.05. Amendments and Waivers.

(a) Lenders’ Consent. Neither this Agreement nor any other Credit Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (x) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Borrower and the Requisite Lenders, or (y) in the case of any other Credit Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Administrative Agent and the other parties that are parties thereto, with the consent of the Requisite Lenders; provided that (i) the consent of each Lender (other than any Sponsor Affiliated Lender) directly

170

adversely affected thereby shall be required to (A) reduce the amount or extend the scheduled date of maturity of any Loan or reduce the amount or extend the payment date for, any required payments, (B) reduce the rate of interest or any fee or extensions of any due date thereof (provided that waivers of Defaults or Events of Default or waivers of default interest shall not be deemed to be a reduction in the rate of interest or any fee under the Credit Documents) or (C) increase the amount or extensions of the expiry date of any Lender’s commitment (provided that Administrative Agent may make Protective Advances as set forth in Section 2.12), (ii) the consent of each Lender (other than, except with respect to clause (B) below, any Sponsor Affiliated Lender) shall be required to (A) directly or indirectly, whether by amendment, waiver or otherwise, add additional categories of assets to the definition of “Collateral Amount”, (B) modify the definition of “Pro Rata Share” or pro rata sharing requirements of the Credit Documents, (C) permit any Credit Party to assign its rights under the Credit Facilities, (D) modify any provisions of this Section 11.05(a) or of any voting percentages required to waive, amend or modify any rights under any Credit Document or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, (E) release or limit the liability of any Guarantor, except as otherwise permitted in the Credit Documents, (F) release all or substantially all of the Collateral, or (G) modify the payment priorities set forth in Section 2.13(a), Section 2.14, Section 2.15(a), Section 8.02 or Section 9.01(f), (iii) the consent of the Requisite Revolving Lenders and the Requisite Term Lenders shall be required (A) to amend the definition of “Collateral Amount” (other than by adding additional categories of assets thereto) and any other defined terms used in such definition or (B) to amend the financial covenants in Section 6.08 and any defined terms used therein, (iv) the consent of each Revolving Lender (other than any Sponsor Affiliated Lender) and the Requisite Term Lenders shall be required to increase the advance rates set forth in the definition of “Borrowing Base” or to add additional categories of assets to the definition of “Borrowing Base”, (v) the consent of the Supermajority Revolving Lenders and the Requisite Term Lenders shall be required for any other amendments to the definition of “Borrowing Base” in a manner adverse to the interests of the Lenders or in a manner that would make more credit available to Borrower and (vi) the consent of the Supermajority Revolving Lenders shall be required to change any provisions relating to the conditions precedent to the making of Revolving Loans under Section 3.02 or Section 3.03; provided that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise adversely affect the rights or duties of any Agent or the Issuing Bank hereunder without the prior written consent of such Person.

(b) Execution of Amendments, etc. Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of such Lender. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case

171

shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent effected in accordance with this Section 11.05 shall be binding upon each Lender at the time outstanding, each future Lender and, if signed by a Credit Party, on such Credit Party.

(c) Sponsor Affiliated Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, in no event shall any Sponsor Affiliated Lender be entitled: (i) to consent to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other such action with respect to any of the terms of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (ii) to require any Agent or other Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (iii) to otherwise vote on any matter related to this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (iv) to attend any meeting with any Agent or Lender or receive any information from any Agent or Lender or (v) to make or bring any claim, in its capacity as Lender, against any Agent or any Lender with respect to the duties and obligations of such Agent or Lender under the Credit Documents; provided, however, no amendment, modifications or waiver shall deprive any Sponsor Affiliate Lender of its Pro Rata Share of any payments to which the Lenders are entitled to share on a pro rata basis hereunder without such Sponsor Affiliated Lender’s consent.

Section 11.06. Successors and Assigns; Participations.

(a) Generally. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and the successors and assigns of Lenders. No Credit Party’s rights or obligations hereunder nor any interest therein may be assigned or delegated by any Credit Party without the prior written consent of all Lenders. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, Affiliates of each of the Agents and Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Register. Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall deem and treat the Persons listed as Lenders in the Register as the holders and owners of the corresponding Commitments and Loans listed therein for all purposes hereof, and no assignment or transfer of any such Commitment or Loan shall be effective, in each case, unless and until recorded in the Register following receipt of an Assignment Agreement effecting the assignment or transfer thereof as provided in Section 11.06(d). Each assignment shall be recorded in the Register on the Business Day the Assignment Agreement is received by Administrative Agent, if received by 12:00 noon New York City time, and on the following Business Day if received after such time, prompt notice thereof shall be provided

172

to Borrower and a copy of such Assignment Agreement shall be maintained. The date of such recordation of a transfer shall be referred to herein as the “Assignment Effective Date.” Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is listed in the Register as a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, assignee or transferee of the corresponding Commitments or Loans.

(c) Right to Assign. Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell, assign or transfer all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitments or Loans owing to it or other Credit Agreement Obligations owing to it (provided, however, that each such assignment shall be of a uniform, and not varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of any Loan of any Class and any related Commitments):

(i) to any Person meeting the criteria of clause (i) of the definition of the term of “Eligible Assignee” and unless only a Term Loan is being assigned, with the Consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) of Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank; and

(ii) to any Person meeting the criteria of clause (ii) of the definition of the term of “Eligible Assignee”, consented to by each of Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld; provided, further each such assignment pursuant to this Section 11.06(c)(ii) shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $5,000,000 in the case of a Revolving Commitment or $1,000,000 in the case of a Term Commitment, unless otherwise agreed by Borrower and Administrative Agent or as shall constitute the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans of the assigning Lender (and aggregating assignments to or by Related Funds for this purpose) with respect to the assignment of Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans.

(d) Mechanics. Assignments and assumptions of Loans and Commitments shall only be effected by manual execution and delivery to Administrative Agent of an Assignment Agreement. Assignments made pursuant to the foregoing provision shall be effective as of the Assignment Effective Date. In connection with all assignments there shall be delivered to Administrative Agent such forms, certificates or other evidence, if any, with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters as the assignee under such Assignment Agreement may be required to deliver pursuant to Section 2.20(c), together with payment to Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500 (except that no such registration and processing fee shall be payable (y) in connection with an assignment by or to JPMCB or any Affiliate thereof or

173

(z) in the case of an Assignee which is already a Lender or is an affiliate or Related Fund of a Lender or a Person under common management with a Lender). Each assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about Borrower, the Credit Parties and their Affiliates or their respective Securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws.

(e) Representations and Warranties of Assignee. Each Lender, upon execution and delivery hereof or upon succeeding to an interest in the Commitments and Loans, as the case may be, represents and warrants as of the Closing Date or as of the Assignment Effective Date that (i) it is an Eligible Assignee; (ii) it has experience and expertise in the making of or investing in commitments or loans such as the applicable Commitments or Loans, as the case may be; and (iii) it will make or invest in, as the case may be, its Commitments or Loans for its own account in the ordinary course and without a view to distribution of such Commitments or Loans within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or other federal securities laws (it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Section 11.06, the disposition of such Commitments, Loans or any interests therein shall at all times remain within its exclusive control).

(f) Effect of Assignment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 11.06, as of the “Assignment Effective Date” (i) the assignee thereunder shall have the rights and obligations of a “Lender” hereunder to the extent of its interest in the Loans and Commitments as reflected in the Register and shall thereafter be a party hereto and a “Lender” for all purposes hereof; (ii) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to the assignee, relinquish its rights (other than any rights which survive the termination hereof under Section 11.08) and be released from its obligations hereunder (and, in the case of an assignment covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto on the Assignment Effective Date; provided, anything contained in any of the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, (y) Issuing Bank shall continue to have all rights and obligations thereof with respect to such Letters of Credit until the cancellation or expiration of such Letters of Credit and the reimbursement of any amounts drawn thereunder and (z) such assigning Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of all indemnities hereunder as specified herein with respect to matters arising out of the prior involvement of such assigning Lender as a Lender hereunder); (iii) the Commitments shall be modified to reflect the Commitment of such assignee and any Commitment of such assigning Lender, if any; and (iv) if any such assignment occurs after the issuance of any Note hereunder, the assigning Lender

174

shall, upon the effectiveness of such assignment or as promptly thereafter as practicable, surrender its applicable Notes to Administrative Agent for cancellation, and thereupon Borrower shall issue and deliver new Notes, if so requested by the assignee and/or assigning Lender, to such assignee and/or to such assigning Lender, with appropriate insertions, to reflect the new Commitment and/or outstanding Loans of the assignee and/or the assigning Lender.

(g) Participations; Participant Register. Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell one or more participations to any Person (other than SuperHoldCo, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its Affiliates) in all or any part of its Commitments, Loans or in any other Obligation. The holder of any such participation, other than an Affiliate of the Lender granting such participation, shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder, or to consent to any action to be taken or omitted hereunder by such Lender, except with respect to any amendment, modification or waiver that would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan, Note or Letter of Credit (unless such Letter of Credit is not extended beyond the Termination Date) in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Commitment shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Commitment or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Credit Party of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (except as otherwise expressly permitted by a Credit Document) or (iii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under the Collateral Documents (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) supporting the Loans hereunder in which such participant is participating. Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.18(c), 2.19 and 2.20 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.20(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.20(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section; provided, (A) a participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.19 or 2.20 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such participant, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation, and (B) a Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.17, Section 2.21 and Section 2.23

175

as if it were an assignee under paragraph (c) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.04 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of 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 this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under this Agreement 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.

(h) Certain Other Assignments and Participations. In addition to any other assignment or participation permitted pursuant to this Section 11.06, any Lender may, without the consent of Borrower or Administrative Agent, assign and/or pledge all or any portion of its Loans, the other Obligations owed by or to such Lender, and its Notes, if any, to secure obligations of such Lender including, without limitation, any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank; provided, no Lender, as between Borrower and such Lender, shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any such assignment and pledge, and provided further, in no event shall the applicable Federal Reserve Bank, pledgee or trustee be considered to be a “Lender” or be entitled to require the assigning Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder, until such time as such Federal Reserve Bank, pledgee or trustee has complied with the provisions of this Section 11.06 regarding assignments.

Section 11.07. Independence of Covenants. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

Section 11.08. Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements. All representations, warranties and agreements made herein shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and the making of any Credit Extension.

176

Notwithstanding anything herein or implied by law to the contrary, the agreements of each Credit Party set forth in Sections 2.18(c), 2.19, 2.20, 11.02, 11.03 and 11.04 and the agreements of Lenders set forth in Sections 2.17, 10.03(b) and 10.06 shall survive the payment of the Loans, the cancellation or expiration of the Letters of Credit and the reimbursement of any amounts drawn thereunder, and the termination hereof.

Section 11.09. No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of any Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. The rights, powers and remedies given to each Agent and each Lender hereby are cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and remedies existing by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in any of the other Credit Documents. Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or remedy.

Section 11.10. Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. Neither any Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Credit Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any Credit Party makes a payment or payments to Administrative Agent or Lenders (or to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders), or Administrative Agent or Lenders enforce any security interests or exercise their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state, provincial or federal law, common law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

Section 11.11. Severability. In case any provision in or obligation hereunder or any Note shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 11.12. Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights. The obligations of Lenders hereunder are several and no Lender shall be

177

responsible for the obligations or Revolving Commitment of any other Lender hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other Credit Document, and no action taken by Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Lenders as a partnership, an association, a Joint Venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and, subject to the final paragraph of Article 8 and Section 10.08(b) or as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising hereunder and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

Section 11.13. Headings. Section headings herein are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part hereof for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.

Section 11.14. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF AND (TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE) THE BANKRUPTCY CODE.

Section 11.15. Consent to Jurisdiction. ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT AGAINST ANY CREDIT PARTY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING HERETO OR TO ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT, OR TO ANY OF THE OBLIGATIONS, MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE BANKRUPTCY COURT, AND IF THE BANKRUPTCY COURT DOES NOT HAVE (OR ABSTAINS FROM) JURISDICTION, ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN THE STATE, AND COUNTY OF NEW YORK. BY EXECUTING AND DELIVERING THIS AGREEMENT, EACH CREDIT PARTY, FOR ITSELF AND IN CONNECTION WITH ITS PROPERTIES, IRREVOCABLY (a) ACCEPTS GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF SUCH COURTS; (b) WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS; (c) AGREES THAT SERVICE OF ALL PROCESS IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, TO THE APPLICABLE CREDIT PARTY AT ITS ADDRESS PROVIDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 11.01; (d) AGREES THAT SERVICE AS PROVIDED IN CLAUSE (c) ABOVE IS SUFFICIENT TO CONFER PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER THE APPLICABLE CREDIT PARTY IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND OTHERWISE CONSTITUTES EFFECTIVE AND BINDING SERVICE IN EVERY RESPECT; AND (e) AGREES AGENTS AND LENDERS RETAIN THE RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER

178

MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY CREDIT PARTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

Section 11.16. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY AGREES TO WAIVE ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OF THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS LOAN TRANSACTION OR THE LENDER/COMPANY RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS.

EACH PARTY HERETO FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING (OTHER THAN BY A MUTUAL WRITTEN WAIVER SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO THIS SECTION 10.16 AND EXECUTED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO), AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS HERETO OR ANY OF THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE LOANS MADE HEREUNDER. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.

Section 11.17. Confidentiality.

(a) Each Agent and each Lender (which term for the purposes of this Section 11.17 includes the Issuing Bank) shall hold all non-public information regarding Borrower and its Subsidiaries and their businesses identified as such by Borrower and obtained by such Agent or such Lender pursuant to the requirements hereof in accordance with such Agent’s and such Lender’s customary procedures for handling confidential information of such nature, it being understood and agreed by Borrower that, in any event, Administrative

179

Agent may disclose such information to the Lenders and each Agent and each Lender may make (i) disclosures of such information to Affiliates of such Lender or Agent and to their respective agents, trustees and advisors (and to other persons authorized by a Lender or Agent to organize, present or disseminate such information in connection with disclosures otherwise made in accordance with this Section 11.17, provided that disclosures by Sponsor Affiliated Institutional Lenders shall be limited to disclosures to Affiliates that are themselves Sponsor Affiliated Institutional Lenders and their respective agents, trustees and advisors and with respect to Sponsor Affiliated Institutional Lenders that are securitization vehicles, lenders to such securitization vehicles, provided that such lenders shall be subject to similar confidentiality provisions as those contained in this Section 11.17), (ii) disclosures of such information reasonably required by any bona fide or potential assignee, transferee or participant in connection with the contemplated assignment, transfer or participation by such Lender of any Loans or any participations therein or by any pledge referred to in Section 11.06(h) or by any direct or indirect contractual counterparties (or the professional advisors thereto) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to Borrower and its obligations (provided, such pledgees, assignees, transferees, participants, counterparties and advisors are advised of and agree to be bound by either the provisions of this Section 11.17 or other provisions at least as restrictive as this Section 11.17), (iii) disclosure to any rating agency when required by it, provided that, prior to any disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake in writing to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to the Credit Parties received by it from any of the Agents or any Lender, (iv) disclosures in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Credit Document and (v) disclosures required or requested by any governmental agency or representative thereof or by the NAIC or pursuant to legal or judicial process; provided, unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, each Lender and each Agent shall make reasonable efforts to notify Borrower of any request by any governmental agency or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with any examination of the financial condition or other routine examination of such Lender by such governmental agency) for disclosure of any such non-public information prior to disclosure of such information. In addition, each Agent and each Lender may disclose the existence of this Agreement and the information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar services providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

(b) EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING BORROWER AND ITS AFFILIATES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH

180

MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

(c) ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY BORROWER OR ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION ABOUT BORROWER, THE CREDIT PARTIES AND THEIR AFFILIATES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO BORROWER AND ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW.

Section 11.18. Usury Savings Clause. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged with respect to any of the Obligations, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under applicable law shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition, if when the Loans made hereunder are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of Lenders and Borrower to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender’s option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder or be refunded to Borrower.

Section 11.19. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

181

Section 11.20. Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto and receipt by Borrower and Administrative Agent of written or telephonic notification of such execution and authorization of delivery thereof.

Section 11.21. Patriot Act. Each Lender and Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies each Credit Party that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Credit Party, which information includes the name and address of each Credit Party and other information that will allow such Lender or Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Credit Party in accordance with the Patriot Act.

Section 11.22. Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution”, “signed”, signature” and words of like import in any Assignment Agreement shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act or such other similar foreign or provincial laws.

Section 11.23. No Fiduciary Duty. Each Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of each Credit Party. Each Credit Party agrees that nothing in the Credit Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between the Lenders and each Credit Party, its stockholders or its affiliates. Each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that (a) the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and each Credit Party, on the other, (b) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction each of the Lenders is acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of each Credit Party, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other person, (c) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Credit Party with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender or any of its affiliates has advised or is currently advising any Credit Party on other matters) or any other obligation to any Credit Party except the obligations expressly set forth in the Credit Documents and (d) each Credit Party has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent deemed appropriate. Each

182

Credit Party further acknowledges and agrees that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. Each Credit Party agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to any Credit Party, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

Section 11.24. Inconsistency. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the Interim Order (and, when applicable, the Final Order), the provisions of Interim Order (and, when applicable, the Final Order) shall govern.
