The Revolver Loans may be repaid and reborrowed as provided herein. In no event shall Lender have any obligation to honor a request for a Revolver Loan if the unpaid balance of Revolver Loans outstanding at such time (including the requested Loan) would exceed the Borrowing Base.

Upon at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender, Borrowers may, at their option, terminate the Commitment and this credit facility.

On the termination date, Borrowers shall make Full Payment of all Obligations.

2.1.4. Overadvances. If the aggregate Revolver Loans exceed the Borrowing Base (“Overadvance”) at any time, the excess amount shall be payable by Borrowers on demand by Lender, but all such Revolver Loans shall nevertheless constitute Obligations secured by the Collateral and entitled to all benefits of the Loan Documents, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement. Any funding or sufferance of an Overadvance shall not constitute a waiver of the Event of Default caused thereby.

Once repaid, the Term Loan may not be reborrowed.

2.3. Letter of Credit Facility.

2.3.1. Issuance of Letters of Credit. Lender agrees to issue Letters of Credit from time to time until thirty (30) days prior to the Termination Date (or until the Commitment Termination Date, if earlier), on the terms set forth herein, including the following:

(a) Each Borrower acknowledges that Lender’s willingness to issue any Letter of Credit is conditioned upon its receipt of an LC Application with respect to the requested Letter of Credit, as well as such other instruments and agreements as Lender may customarily require for issuance of a letter of credit of similar type and amount. Lender shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit unless (i) it receives a LC Request and LC Application at least three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance and (ii) each LC Condition is satisfied.

(b) Letters of Credit may be requested by a Borrower to support obligations incurred in the Ordinary Course of Business, or as otherwise approved by Lender. The renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit shall be treated as the issuance of a new Letter of Credit, except that delivery of a new LC Application shall be required at the discretion of Lender.

(c) Borrowers assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuses of any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary. In connection with issuance of any Letter of Credit, Lender shall not be responsible for: the existence, character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any goods purported to be represented by any LC Documents; any differences or variation in the character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any goods from that expressed in any LC Documents; the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any LC Documents or of any endorsements thereon; the time, place, manner or order in which shipment of goods is made; partial or incomplete shipment of, or failure to ship, any goods referred to in a Letter of Credit or LC Documents; any deviation from instructions, delay, default or fraud by any shipper or other Person in connection with any goods, shipment or delivery; any breach of contract between a shipper or vendor and a Borrower; errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex, telecopy, e-mail, telephone or otherwise; errors in interpretation of technical terms; the misapplication by a beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof; or any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of Lender, including any act or omission of a Governmental Authority. Lender shall be fully subrogated to the rights and remedies of each beneficiary whose claims against Borrowers are discharged with proceeds of any Letter of Credit.

(d) In connection with its administration of and enforcement of rights or remedies under any Letters of Credit or LC Documents, Lender shall be

entitled to act, and shall be fully protected in acting, upon any certification, documentation or communication in whatever form believed by Lender, in good faith, to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by a proper Person. Lender may consult with and employ legal counsel, accountants and other experts to advise it concerning its obligations, rights and remedies, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in any action taken in good faith reliance upon, any advice given by such experts. Lender may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection with any matter relating to Letters of Credit or LC Documents, and shall not be liable for the negligence or misconduct of agents and attorneys-in-fact selected with reasonable care.

2.3.2. Reimbursement. If Lender honors any request for payment under a Letter of Credit, Borrowers shall pay to Lender on the same day if Lender provides notice of such request prior to 1:00 p.m., or the next Business Day if Lender provides notice after such time (“Reimbursement Date”), the amount paid under such Letter of Credit, together with interest at the interest rate for Base Rate Loans from the Reimbursement Date until payment by Borrowers. The obligation of Borrowers to reimburse Lender for any payment made under a Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional, irrevocable, and joint and several, and shall be paid without regard to any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that Borrowers may have at any time against the beneficiary. Whether or not Borrower Agent submits a Notice of Borrowing, Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in an amount necessary to pay all amounts due on any Reimbursement Date.

2.3.3. Cash Collateral. If any LC Obligations, whether or not then due or payable, shall for any reason be outstanding at any time (a) that an Event of Default exists, (b) that Excess Availability is less than zero, (c) after the Commitment Termination Date, or (d) within seven (7) Business Days prior to the Termination Date, then Borrowers shall, at Lender’s request, Cash Collateralize the stated amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit and pay to Lender the amount of all other LC Obligations. If Borrowers fail to provide Cash Collateral as required herein, Lender may advance, as Revolver Loans, the amount of the Cash Collateral required.

2.3.4. Letter of Credit Amounts. Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided, however, that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any LC Document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit.

SECTION 3. INTEREST, FEES AND CHARGES

(a) The Obligations (other than Bank Product Debt) shall bear interest (i) if a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate in effect from time to time, plus the Applicable Margin; (ii) if a LIBOR Loan, at LIBOR for the applicable Interest Period, plus the Applicable Margin; and (iii) if any other Obligation (including, to the extent permitted by law, interest not paid when due), at the Base Rate in effect from time to time, plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans. Interest shall accrue from the date the Loan is advanced or the Obligation (other than Bank Product Debt) is incurred or payable, until paid by Borrowers. If a Loan is repaid on the same day made, one (1) day’s interest shall accrue.

(b) During an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to any Borrower, or during any other Event of Default if Lender in its discretion so elects, Obligations (other than Bank Product Debt) shall bear interest at the Default Rate (whether before or after any judgment). Each Borrower acknowledges that the cost and expense to Lender due to an Event of Default are difficult to ascertain and that the Default Rate is a fair and reasonable estimate to compensate Lender for this.

(c) Interest accrued on the Loans shall be due and payable in arrears, (i) on the first day of each month; (ii) on any date of prepayment, with respect to the principal amount of Loans being prepaid; and (iii) on the Commitment Termination Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest accrued at the Default Rate shall be due and payable on demand.

(a) Borrowers may on any Business Day, subject to delivery of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, elect to convert any portion of the Base Rate Loans to, or to continue any LIBOR Loan at the end of its Interest Period as, a LIBOR Loan. During any Default or Event of Default, Lender may declare that no Loan may be made, converted or continued as a LIBOR Loan.

(b) Whenever Borrowers desire to convert or continue Loans as LIBOR Loans, Borrower Agent shall give Lender a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, no later than 11:00 a.m. at least three (3) Business Days before the requested conversion or continuation date.

shall be a Business Day), and the duration of the Interest Period (which shall be deemed to be thirty (30) days if not specified). If, upon the expiration of any Interest Period in respect of any LIBOR Loans, Borrowers shall have failed to deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, they shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Loans into Base Rate Loans.

3.1.3. Interest Periods. In connection with the making, conversion or continuation of any LIBOR Loans, Borrowers shall select an interest period (“Interest Period”) to apply, which interest period shall be thirty (30), sixty (60), ninety (90) and one hundred eighty (180) days; provided, however, that:

(a) any Interest Period that would otherwise end on a day that is not a Business Day shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless such Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case such Interest Period shall end on the next preceding Business Day;

(b) any Interest Period that begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month (or on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period) shall end on the last Business Day of the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period; and

3.1.4. [Reserved].

3.1.5. Maximum Interest. Regardless of any provision contained in any of the Loan Documents, in no contingency or event whatsoever shall the aggregate of all amounts that are contracted for, charged or received by Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and that are deemed interest under Applicable Law exceed the highest rate permissible under any Applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). No agreements, conditions, provisions or stipulations contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the exercise by Lender of the right to accelerate the payment or the maturity of all or any portion of the Obligations, or the exercise of any option whatsoever contained in any of the Loan Documents, or the prepayment by Borrowers of any of the Obligations, or the occurrence of any contingency whatsoever, shall entitle Lender to charge or receive in any event, interest or any charges, amounts, premiums or fees deemed interest by Applicable Law (such interest, charges, amounts, premiums and fees referred to herein collectively as “Interest”) in excess of the Maximum Rate and in no event shall any Borrower be obligated to pay Interest exceeding such Maximum Rate, and all agreements, conditions or stipulations, if any, which may in any event or contingency whatsoever operate to bind, obligate or compel any Borrower to pay Interest exceeding the Maximum Rate shall be without binding force or effect, at law or in equity, to the extent only of the excess of Interest over such Maximum Rate. If any Interest is charged or received with respect to the Obligations in excess of the Maximum Rate (“Excess”), each Borrower stipulates that any such charge or receipt shall be the result of an accident and bona fide error, and such Excess, to the extent received, shall be applied first to reduce the principal Obligations

and the balance, if any, returned to Borrowers, it being the intent of the parties hereto not to enter into a usurious or otherwise illegal relationship. The right to accelerate the maturity of any of the Obligations does not include the right to accelerate any Interest that has not otherwise accrued on the date of such acceleration, and Lender does not intend to collect any unearned Interest in the event of any such acceleration. Each Borrower recognizes that, with fluctuations in the rates of interest set forth in this Agreement, and the Maximum Rate, such an unintentional result could inadvertently occur. All monies paid to Lender hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, whether at maturity or by prepayment, shall be subject to any rebate of unearned Interest as and to the extent required by Applicable Law. By the execution of this Agreement, each Borrower covenants that (i) the credit or return of any Excess shall constitute the acceptance by such Borrower of such Excess, and (ii) each Borrower shall not seek or pursue any other remedy, legal or equitable, against Lender, based in whole or in part upon contracting for, charging or receiving any Interest in excess of the Maximum Rate. For the purpose of determining whether or not any Excess has been contracted for, charged or received by Lender, all Interest at any time contracted for, charged or received from Borrowers in connection with any of the Loan Documents shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread in equal parts throughout the full term of the Obligations. Borrowers and Lender shall, to the maximum extent permitted under Applicable Law, (i) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as Interest and (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof. The provisions of this Section 3.1.5 shall be deemed to be incorporated into every Loan Document (whether or not any provision of this Section is referred to therein). All such Loan Documents and communications relating to any Interest owed by Borrowers and all figures set forth therein shall, for the sole purpose of computing the extent of Obligations, be automatically recomputed by Borrowers, and by any court considering the same, to give effect to the adjustments or credits required by this Section 3.1.5.

3.2. Fees.

3.2.1. Unused Line Fee. Borrowers shall pay to Lender a fee equal to the Unused Line Fee Rate times the amount by which the Commitment exceeds the average daily balance of Revolver Loans and stated amount of Letters of Credit during any month. Such fee shall be payable in arrears, on the first day of each month and on the Commitment Termination Date.

3.2.2. LC Facility Fees. Borrowers shall pay to Lender (a) a fee equal to the Applicable Margin in effect for Revolver Loans that are LIBOR Loans times the average daily stated amount of Letters of Credit, which fee shall be payable monthly in arrears, on the first day of each month; (b) a fronting fee equal to 0.125% per annum on the stated amount of each Letter of Credit, which fee shall be payable monthly in arrears, on the first day of each month; and (c) all customary charges associated with the issuance, amending, negotiating, payment, processing, transfer and administration of Letters of Credit, which charges shall be paid as and when incurred. During the continuance of an Event of Default, the fee payable under clause (a) shall be increased by two percent (2.00%) per annum.

3.2.3. Closing Fee. On the Closing Date, Borrowers shall pay to Lender a closing fee of $287,500.

3.3. Computation of Interest, Fees, Yield Protection. All interest, as well as fees and other charges calculated on a per annum basis, shall be computed for the actual days elapsed, based on a year of 360 days. Each determination by Lender of any interest, fees or interest rate hereunder shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. All fees shall be fully earned when due and shall not be subject to rebate, refund or proration. All fees payable under Section 3.2 are compensation for services and are not, and shall not be deemed to be, interest or any other charge for the use, forbearance or detention of money. All fees payable under Section 3.2 shall be in addition to any other fees, costs or expenses payable pursuant to any Loan Document and each of the fees described in Section 3.2 constitute part of the Obligations and shall be deemed earned in full on the date when the same is due and payable hereunder and shall not be subject to rebate or proration upon termination of this Agreement for any reason. A certificate as to amounts payable by Borrowers under Section 3.4, 3.6, 3.7, 3.9 or 5.8, submitted to Borrower Agent by Lender shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and Borrowers shall pay such amounts to the appropriate party within 10 days following receipt of the certificate.

3.4. Reimbursement Obligations. Borrowers shall reimburse Lender for all Extraordinary Expenses. Borrowers shall also reimburse Lender for all reasonable, out-of-pocket legal, and all accounting, appraisal, consulting, and other fees, costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with (a) negotiation and preparation of any Loan Documents, including any amendment or other modification thereof; (b) administration of and actions relating to any Collateral, Loan Documents and transactions contemplated thereby, including any actions taken to perfect or maintain priority of Lender’s Liens on any Collateral, to maintain any insurance required hereunder or to verify Collateral; and (c) subject to the limits of Section 10.1.1(b), each inspection, audit or appraisal with respect to any Obligor or Collateral, whether prepared by Lender’s personnel or a third party. All legal, accounting and consulting fees shall be charged to Borrowers by Lender’s professionals at their full hourly rates, regardless of any reduced or alternative fee billing arrangements that Lender or any of its Affiliates may have with such professionals with respect to this or any other transaction. If, for any reason (including inaccurate reporting on financial statements or a Compliance Certificate), it is determined that a higher Applicable Margin should have applied to a period than was actually applied, then the proper margin shall be applied retroactively and Borrowers shall immediately pay to Lender an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest and fees that would have accrued using the proper margin and the amount actually paid. All amounts payable by Borrowers under this Section shall be due on demand.

3.5. Illegality. If Lender determines that any Applicable Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for Lender to make, maintain or fund

Loans whose interest is determined by reference to LIBOR, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon LIBOR, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by Lender to Borrower Agent, (a) any obligation of Lender to make or continue LIBOR Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Loans shall be suspended and (b) if such notice asserts the illegality of Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the LIBOR component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by Lender without reference to the LIBOR component of the Base Rate, in each case until Lender notifies Borrower Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon delivery of such notice, (i) Borrowers shall, upon demand of Lender, prepay or, if applicable, convert all LIBOR Loans to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by Lender without reference to the LIBOR component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if Lender may lawfully continue to maintain LIBOR Loans to such day, or immediately, if Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain LIBOR Loans and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon LIBOR, Lender shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate without reference to the LIBOR component thereof until it is no longer illegal for Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon LIBOR. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

3.6. Inability to Determine Rates. If Lender notifies Borrower Agent for any reason in connection with a request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of, a LIBOR Loan that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank Eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining LIBOR for the requested Interest Period, or (c) LIBOR for the requested Interest Period does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender of funding such Loan, then (i) the obligation of Lender to make or maintain LIBOR Loans shall be suspended and (ii) with respect to the LIBOR component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the LIBOR component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until Lender revokes the notice. Upon receipt of the notice, Borrower Agent may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of a LIBOR Loan or, failing that, will be deemed to have submitted a request for a Base Rate Loan.

3.7. Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy.

3.7.1. Change in Law. If any Change in Law shall:

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

(b) subject Lender to any Tax with respect to any Loan, Loan Document or Letter of Credit, or change the basis of taxation of payments to Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 5.8 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by Lender); or

(c) impose on Lender or any interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting any Loan, Loan Document, Letter of Credit or Commitment;

and the result thereof shall be to increase the cost to Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or Commitment, or to increase the cost to Lender of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request by Lender, Borrowers will pay to Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

3.7.2. Capital Adequacy. If Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting Lender or its holding company regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s or such holding company’s capital as a consequence of this Agreement, Commitments, Loans or Letters of Credit to a level below that which Lender or such holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration Lender’s and such holding company’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time Borrowers will pay to Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate it or its holding company for any such reduction suffered.

3.7.3. Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of its right to demand such compensation, but Borrowers shall not be required to compensate Lender for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that Lender notifies Borrower Agent of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

3.8. Mitigation. If Lender gives a notice under Section 3.5 or requests compensation under Section 3.7, or if Borrowers are required to pay additional amounts under Section 5.8, then Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of Lender, such designation or assignment (a) would eliminate the need for such notice or reduce amounts payable or to be withheld in the future, as applicable; and (b) would not subject Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to it or unlawful. Borrowers shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

3.9. Funding Losses. If for any reason (a) any Borrowing of, or conversion to or continuation of, a LIBOR Loan does not occur on the date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation (whether or not withdrawn), (b) any repayment or conversion of a LIBOR Loan occurs on a day other than the end of its Interest Period, or (c) Borrowers fail to repay a LIBOR Loan when required hereunder, then Borrowers shall pay to Lender all resulting losses and expenses, including loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from liquidation or redeployment of funds or from fees payable to terminate deposits of matching funds. Lender shall not be required to purchase Dollar deposits in any interbank or offshore Dollar market to fund any LIBOR Loan, but this Section shall apply as if Lender had purchased such deposits.

SECTION 4. LOAN ADMINISTRATION

4.1. Manner of Borrowing and Funding Loans.

4.1.1. Notice of Borrowing.

(a) Whenever Borrowers desire funding of a Borrowing of a Loan, Borrower Agent shall give Lender a Notice of Borrowing. Such notice must be received by Lender no later than 1:00 p.m. (i) on the Business Day of the requested funding date, in the case of Base Rate Loans, and (ii) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the requested funding date, in the case of LIBOR Loans. Notices received after 1:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. Each such Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and shall specify (A) the amount of the Borrowing, (B) the requested funding date (which must be a Business Day), (C) whether the Borrowing is to be made as Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans, and (D) in the case of LIBOR Loans, the duration of the applicable Interest Period (which shall be deemed to be thirty (30) days if not specified).

(b) Unless payment is otherwise timely made by Borrowers, the becoming due of any Obligations (whether principal, interest, fees or other charges, including Extraordinary Expenses, LC Obligations, Cash Collateral and Bank Product Debt) shall be deemed to be a request for Revolver Loans that are Base Rate Loans on the due date, in the amount of such Obligations. The proceeds of such Revolver Loans shall be disbursed as direct payment of the relevant Obligation. In addition, Lender may, at its option, charge such Obligations against any operating, investment or other account of a Borrower maintained with Lender or any of its Affiliates.

(c) If Borrowers establish a controlled disbursement account with Lender or any of its Affiliates, then the presentation for payment of any check, ACH or electronic debit, or other payment item at a time when there are insufficient funds to cover it shall be deemed to be a request for a Revolver Loan that is a Base Rate Loan on the date of such presentation, in the amount of such

payment item. The proceeds of such Revolver Loan may be disbursed directly to the controlled disbursement account or other appropriate account.

4.1.2. Fundings. Lender shall fund each Borrowing on the applicable funding date and, subject to the terms of this Agreement, shall disburse the proceeds as directed by Borrower Agent.

4.1.3. Notices. Borrowers may request, convert or continue Loans, select interest rates, and transfer funds based on telephonic or e-mailed instructions to Lender. Borrowers shall confirm each such request by prompt delivery to Lender of a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/ Continuation, if applicable, but if it differs materially from the action taken by Lender, the records of Lender shall govern. Lender shall not have any liability for any loss suffered by a Borrower as a result of Lender acting upon its understanding of telephonic or e-mailed instructions from a person believed in good faith to be a person authorized to give such instructions on a Borrower’s behalf.

4.2. Number and Amount of LIBOR Loans; Determination of Rate. Each Borrowing of LIBOR Loans when made shall be in a minimum amount of $500,000 plus any increment of $100,000 in excess thereof. No more than eight (8) Borrowings of LIBOR Loans may be outstanding at any time, and all LIBOR Loans having the same length and beginning date of their Interest Periods shall be aggregated together and considered one Borrowing for this purpose. Upon determining LIBOR for any Interest Period requested by Borrowers, Lender shall promptly notify Borrowers thereof by telephone or electronically and, if requested by Borrowers, shall confirm any telephonic notice in writing.

4.3. Borrower Agent. Each Borrower hereby designates the Company (“Borrower Agent”) as its representative and agent for all purposes under the Loan Documents, including requests for Loans and Letters of Credit, designation of interest rates, delivery or receipt of communications, preparation and delivery of Borrowing Base and financial reports, receipt and payment of Obligations, requests for waivers, amendments or other accommodations, actions under the Loan Documents (including in respect of compliance with covenants), and all other dealings with Lender. Borrower Agent hereby accepts such appointment. Lender shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any notice or communication (including any notice of borrowing) delivered by Borrower Agent on behalf of any Borrower. Lender may give any notice or communication with a Borrower hereunder to Borrower Agent on behalf of such Borrower. Lender shall have the right, in its discretion, to deal exclusively with Borrower Agent for any or all purposes under the Loan Documents. Each Borrower agrees that any notice, election, communication, representation, agreement or undertaking made on its behalf by Borrower Agent shall be binding upon and enforceable against it.

4.4. One Obligation. The Loans, LC Obligations and other Obligations shall constitute one general obligation of Borrowers and are secured by Lender’s Lien on all Collateral; provided,

however, that Lender shall be deemed to be a creditor of, and the holder of a separate claim against, each Borrower to the extent of any Obligations jointly or severally owed by such Borrower.

4.5. Effect of Termination. On the effective date of any termination of the Commitment, all Obligations shall be immediately due and payable, and Lender and any of its Affiliates may terminate its Bank Products. All undertakings of Obligors contained in the Loan Documents shall survive any termination, and Lender shall retain its Liens in the Collateral and all of its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents until Full Payment of the Obligations. Notwithstanding Full Payment of the Obligations, Lender shall not be required to terminate its Liens in any Collateral unless, with respect to any damages Lender may incur as a result of the dishonor or return of Payment Items applied to Obligations, Lender receives (a) a written agreement satisfactory to Lender, executed by Borrowers and any Person whose advances are used in whole or in part to satisfy the Obligations, indemnifying Lender from any such damages; and (b) such Cash Collateral as Lender, in its good faith credit judgment, deems appropriate to protect against such damages. The provisions of Sections 2.3, 3.4, 3.6, 3.7, 3.9, 5.5, 5.8, 12.2 and this Section, and the obligation of each Obligor with respect to each indemnity given by it in any Loan Document, shall survive Full Payment of the Obligations and any release relating to this credit facility.

SECTION 5. PAYMENTS

5.1. General Payment Provisions. All payments of Obligations (other than Bank Product Debt, which shall be governed by provisions of the documentation governing such Bank Product Debt) shall be made in Dollars and shall be free and clear of and without conditions or deduction for any offset, counterclaim, recoupment or defense of any kind, free of (and without deduction for) any Taxes, and in immediately available funds, not later than 1:00 p.m. on the due date. Any payment after such time shall be deemed made on the next Business Day. Any payment of a LIBOR Loan prior to the end of its Interest Period shall be accompanied by all amounts due under Section 3.9. Any prepayment of Loans shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans and then to LIBOR Loans.

5.2. Repayment of Revolver Loans. Revolver Loans shall be due and payable in full on the Termination Date, unless payment is sooner required hereunder. Revolver Loans may be prepaid from time to time, without penalty or premium but subject to Section 3.9. If any Asset Disposition includes the disposition of Accounts or Inventory, then Net Proceeds equal to the greater of (a) the net book value of such Accounts and Inventory, or (b) the reduction in the Borrowing Base and directly caused by the giving effect to such disposition, shall be applied to the Revolver Loans. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if an Overadvance exists, Borrowers shall, on the sooner of Lender’s demand or the first Business Day after any Borrower has knowledge thereof, repay the outstanding Revolver Loans in an amount sufficient to reduce the principal balance of Revolver Loans to the Borrowing Base.

5.3. Repayment of Term Loan.

(a) Payment of Principal. The Term Loan shall be repaid on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter in consecutive quarterly installments of $2,321,428, commencing on January 4, 2016 until April 2, 2018, and all remaining principal, interest and other amounts owing with respect to the Term Loan shall be due and payable in full on the Term Loan Maturity Date. Once repaid, whether such repayment is voluntary or required, no portion of the Term Loan may be reborrowed.

(b) Mandatory Prepayments.

(i) Within three Business Days following the receipt of proceeds of any Permitted Asset Disposition of Equipment or Real Estate pursuant to clause (b), (c) or (e) of the definition of “Permitted Asset Disposition”, Borrowers shall prepay the Term Loan in an amount equal to the Net Proceeds of such disposition to the extent the aggregate Net Proceeds from all such Asset Dispositions during the previous twelve months exceeds $500,000; provided that if no Default or Event of Default shall then exist or would arise therefrom, no such prepayment shall be required if the Borrower Agent provides an Officer’s Certificate to Lender stating that such Net Proceeds are expected to be reinvested in fixed or capital assets or to be contractually committed to be reinvested in fixed or capital assets within 12 months of such date; provided further that if all or any of such Net Proceeds are not reinvested or contractually committed to be so reinvested within such 12 month period, such unused portion shall be used to prepay the Term Loans in accordance with this Section 5.3(b)(i);

(ii) Concurrently with the receipt of any proceeds of insurance or condemnation awards paid in respect of any Equipment or Real Estate, Borrowers shall prepay the Term Loan in an amount equal to such proceeds, subject to Section 8.6.2;

(iii) Concurrently with any issuance of Equity Interests by an Obligor, Borrowers shall prepay the Term Loan in an amount equal to the net proceeds of such issuance; provided that no such prepayment shall be required with respect to (a) any issuance of Equity Interests by Holdings to any Sponsor or any Controlled Investment Affiliate or (b) any issuances of Equity Interests by Holdings of Equity Interests representing not more than 20% of the total economic interests of the Equity Interests of Holdings (including its Equity Interests issued upon exercise of any warrant or option) to directors, officers or employees of any Obligor;

(iv) On the Commitment Termination Date, Borrowers shall prepay the entire Term Loan (unless sooner repaid hereunder).

(c) Optional Prepayments. A Borrower may, at its option from time to time (but only one time during any specific calendar month), prepay the Term Loan without penalty or premium, which prepayment must be at least $1,000,000, plus any increment of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. A Borrower shall give written notice to Lender of an intended prepayment of the Term Loan, which notice shall specify the amount of the prepayment, shall be irrevocable once given, shall be given at least 10 Business Days prior to the end of a month and shall be effective as of the first day of the next month. Each prepayment of the Term Loan shall be accompanied by all interest accrued thereon and any amounts payable under Section 3.9, and shall be applied to principal in inverse order of maturity.

5.4. Payment of Other Obligations. Obligations other than Loans and Bank Product Debt (which shall be governed by provisions of the documentation governing such Bank Product Debt), including LC Obligations and Extraordinary Expenses, shall be paid by Borrowers as provided in the Loan Documents or, if no payment date is specified, on demand.

5.5. Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. Lender shall have no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Obligor or against any Obligations. If any payment by or on behalf of Borrowers is made to Lender, or Lender exercises a right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other Person, then to the extent of such recovery, the Obligation originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies relating thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred.

5.6. Application of Payments. The ledger balance in the main Dominion Account as of the end of a Business Day shall be applied to the Obligations at the beginning of the next Business Day during any Trigger Period. However, solely for purposes of computing interest hereunder, and in addition to Lender’s standard fees and charges relating to the account, any application by Lender of such balance to the Obligations shall be deemed to be made at the beginning of the second Business Day; provided, however, the foregoing shall in all respects be subject to the provisions and limitations set forth in Section 3.1.5 hereof. If, as a result of such application, a credit balance exists, the balance shall not accrue interest in favor of Borrowers and shall be made available to Borrowers as long as no Default or Event of Default exists. Each Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any payments or Collateral proceeds during any Trigger Period, and agrees that Lender shall have the continuing, exclusive right to apply and reapply same against the Obligations during any Trigger Period, in such manner as Lender deems advisable.

5.7. Loan Account; Account Stated.

5.7.1. Loan Account. Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual and customary practices an account or accounts (“Loan Account”) evidencing the Debt of Borrowers resulting from each Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit from time to time. Any failure of Lender to record anything in the Loan Account, or any error in doing so, shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrowers to pay any amount owing hereunder. Lender may maintain a single Loan Account in the name of Borrower Agent, and each Borrower confirms that such arrangement shall have no effect on the joint and several character of its liability for the Obligations.

5.7.2. Entries Binding. Entries made in the Loan Account shall constitute presumptive evidence of the information contained therein. If any information contained in the Loan Account is provided to or inspected by any Obligor, then such information shall be conclusive and binding on such Obligor for all purposes absent manifest error, except to the extent such Person notifies Lender in writing within thirty (30) days after receipt or inspection that specific information is subject to dispute.

5.8. Taxes.

5.8.1. Payments Free of Taxes. All payments by Obligors of Obligations shall be free and clear of and without reduction for any Taxes except as required by Applicable Law. If Applicable Law requires any Obligor or Lender to withhold or deduct any Tax (including backup withholding or withholding Tax), Obligor or Lender, as applicable, shall pay the amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority. If the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by Obligors shall be increased so that Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received if no such withholding or deduction (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) had been made. Without limiting the foregoing, Borrowers shall timely pay all Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authorities.

5.8.2. Payment. Each Borrower, jointly and severally shall indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse (within 10 days after demand therefor) Lender for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including those attributable to amounts payable under this Section) withheld or deducted by any Obligor or Lender, or paid by Lender, with respect to any Obligations, Letters of Credit or Loan Documents, whether or not such Taxes were properly asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority, including all reasonable expenses relating thereto. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to Borrower Agent by Lender shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by a Borrower, Borrower Agent shall deliver to Lender a receipt from the Governmental Authority or other evidence of payment satisfactory to Lender in its good faith credit judgment.

5.8.3. Lender Status. Lender shall deliver documentation prescribed by Applicable Law, or reasonably requested by an Obligor, as will enable an Obligor to determine whether or not Lender is subject to withholding, backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax under the Applicable Law of the jurisdiction in which any Obligor is resident for Tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document, Lender shall deliver to each Obligor, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by an Obligor, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by Applicable Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that any Obligor is resident for Tax purposes in the United States, Lender shall deliver to the Obligors on or prior to the Closing Date (and from time to time thereafter as prescribed by Applicable Law or upon the request of an Obligor), two executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax.

5.8.4. Refunds. If Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of, or credit or other similar tax benefit in respect of, any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by an Obligor or with respect to which an Obligor has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.8 or Section 3.7.1(b), it shall pay to such Obligor an amount equal to such refund, or credit or benefit (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Obligor with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund, or credit or benefit), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such Obligor, upon the request of such Lender, shall repay to such Lender the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, in no event will Lender be required to pay any amount to an Obligor, pursuant to this paragraph the payment of which would place Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than Lender would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to such Obligor or any other Person.

5.9. Nature and Extent of Each Borrower’s Liability.

5.9.1. Joint and Several Liability. Each Borrower agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Lender the prompt payment and performance of, all Obligations and all agreements under the Loan Documents. Each Borrower agrees that its guaranty obligations hereunder constitute a continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection, that such obligations shall not be discharged until Full Payment of the Obligations, and that such

obligations are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of (a) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability, subordination or any future modification of, or change in, any Obligations or Loan Document, or any other document, instrument or agreement to which any Obligor is or may become a party or be bound; (b) the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement (including this Section) or any other Loan Document, or any waiver, consent or indulgence of any kind by Lender with respect thereto; (c) the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect a Lien or to preserve rights against, any security or guaranty for the Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by Lender in respect thereof (including the release of any security or guaranty); (d) the insolvency of any Obligor; (e) any election by Lender in an Insolvency Proceeding for the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code; (f) any borrowing or grant of a Lien by any other Borrower, as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; (g) the disallowance of any claims of Lender against any Obligor for the repayment of any Obligations under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; or (h) any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, except Full Payment of all Obligations.

5.9.2. Waivers.

(a) Each Obligor expressly waives all rights that it may have now or in the future under any statute, at common law, in equity or otherwise, to compel Lender to marshal assets or to proceed against any Obligor, other Person or security for the payment or performance of any Obligations before, or as a condition to, proceeding against such Obligor. Each Obligor waives all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor other than Full Payment of all Obligations. It is agreed among each Obligor and Lender that the provisions of this Section 5.9 are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents and that, but for such provisions, Lender would decline to make Loans and issue Letters of Credit. Each Obligor acknowledges that its guaranty pursuant to this Section is necessary to the conduct and promotion of its business, and can be expected to benefit such business.

(b) Lender may, in its discretion, pursue such rights and remedies as it deems appropriate, including realization upon Collateral by judicial foreclosure or nonjudicial sale or enforcement, without affecting any rights and remedies under this Section 5.9. If, in taking any action in connection with the exercise of any rights or remedies, Lender shall forfeit any other rights or remedies, including the right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Obligor or other Person, whether because of any Applicable Laws pertaining to “election of remedies” or otherwise, each Obligor consents to such action and waives any claim based upon it, even if the action may result in loss of any rights of subrogation that any Obligor might otherwise have had. Any election of remedies that results in denial or impairment of the right of Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against any Obligor shall not impair any other Obligor’s obligation to pay the full amount of the Obligations. Each Obligor waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies, such as nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to any security

for the Obligations, even though that election of remedies destroys such Obligor’s rights of subrogation against any other Person. Lender may bid all or a portion of the Obligations at any foreclosure or trustee’s sale or at any private sale, and the amount of such bid need not be paid by Lender but shall be credited against the Obligations. The amount of the successful bid at any such sale, whether Lender or any other Person is the successful bidder, shall be conclusively deemed to be the fair market value of the Collateral, and the difference between such bid amount and the remaining balance of the Obligations shall be conclusively deemed to be the amount of the Obligations guaranteed under this Section 5.9, notwithstanding that any present or future law or court decision may have the effect of reducing the amount of any deficiency claim to which Lender might otherwise be entitled but for such bidding at any such sale.

5.9.3. Extent of Liability; Contribution.

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Obligor’s liability under this Section 5.9 shall be limited to the greater of (i) all amounts for which such Obligor is primarily liable, as described below, and (ii) such Obligor’s Allocable Amount.

(b) If any Obligor makes a payment under this Section 5.9 of any Obligations (other than amounts for which such Obligor is primarily liable) (a “Guarantor Payment”) that, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments previously or concurrently made by any other Obligor, exceeds the amount that such Obligor would otherwise have paid if each Obligor had paid the aggregate Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payments in the same proportion that such Obligor’s Allocable Amount bore to the total Allocable Amounts of all Obligors, then such Obligor shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and to be reimbursed by, each other Obligor for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment. The “Allocable Amount” for any Obligor shall be the maximum amount that could then be recovered from such Obligor under this Section 5.9 without rendering such payment voidable under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state fraudulent transfer or conveyance act, or similar statute or common law.

(c) Nothing contained in this Section 5.9 shall limit the liability of any Obligor to pay Loans made directly or indirectly to that Borrower (including Loans advanced to any other Borrower and then re-loaned or otherwise transferred to, or for the benefit of, such Borrower), LC Obligations relating to Letters of Credit issued to support such Borrower’s business, and all accrued interest, fees, expenses and other related Obligations with respect thereto, for which such Borrower shall be primarily liable for all purposes hereunder. Lender shall have the right, at any time in its discretion, to condition Loans and Letters of Credit upon a separate calculation of borrowing availability for each Borrower and to restrict the disbursement and use of such Loans and Letters of Credit to such Borrower.

5.9.4. Joint Enterprise. Each Borrower has requested that Lender make this credit facility available to Borrowers on a combined basis, in order to finance Borrowers’ business most efficiently and economically. Borrowers’ business is a mutual and collective enterprise, and the successful operation of each Borrower is dependent upon the successful performance of the integrated group. Borrowers believe that consolidation of their credit facility will enhance the borrowing power of each Borrower and ease administration of the facility, all to their mutual advantage. Borrowers acknowledge that Lender’s willingness to extend credit and to administer the Collateral on a combined basis hereunder is done solely as an accommodation to Borrowers and at Borrowers’ request.

5.9.5. Subordination. Each Obligor hereby subordinates any claims, including any rights at law or in equity to payment, subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off, that it may have at any time against any other Obligor, howsoever arising, to the Full Payment of all Obligations.

SECTION 6. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

(i) If requested by Lender, Lender shall have received certificates of insurance for the insurance policies carried by Borrowers required by Section 8.6.2, all in compliance with the Loan Documents, together with, if required by Lender, lender loss payable and additional insured endorsements naming Lender as lender loss payee and additional insured thereunder, in each case, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender in the exercise of its good faith credit judgment.

Each request (or deemed request) by Borrowers for funding of a Loan, issuance of a Letter of Credit or grant of an accommodation shall constitute a representation by Borrowers that the foregoing conditions are satisfied on the date of such request and on the date of such funding,

issuance or grant. As an additional condition to any funding, issuance or grant, Lender shall have received such other information, documents, instruments and agreements as it deems appropriate, in the exercise of its good faith credit judgment, in connection therewith.

SECTION 7. COLLATERAL PROVISIONS

7.1. Personal Property Collateral. To secure the prompt payment and performance of all Obligations, each Obligor shall cause its personal property to be subject to first-priority perfected Liens in favor of Lender, in its capacities as Lender and Collateral Agent, in accordance with the Security Agreement.

The Mortgages shall be duly recorded, at Borrowers’ expense, in each office where such recording is required to constitute a fully perfected Lien on the Real Estate covered thereby. If any Borrower acquires Real Estate with a value in excess of $500,000 hereafter, Borrowers shall, within sixty (60) days, execute, deliver and record a Mortgage sufficient to create a first priority Lien (subject to Permitted Liens) in favor of Lender, in its capacities as Lender and Collateral Agent, on such Real Estate, and shall deliver all Related Real Estate Documents.

7.3.2. [Reserved].

7.4. [Reserved].

7.5. [Reserved].

7.6. [Reserved].

7.7. [Reserved].

7.8. Lien Waiver. Obligors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a Lien Waiver with respect to each location set forth on Schedule 8.6.1 where an Obligor stores books and records, excluding (a) any location that does not contain Inventory and that is leased by an Obligor for monthly rent of less than $6,000, provided that the aggregate annual rent of all leased

locations excluded under this clause (a) is less than $150,000 and (b) any location that contains Inventory and for which the Rent and Charges Reserve includes expenses and amounts attributable to such Inventory.

SECTION 8. COLLATERAL ADMINISTRATION

8.1. Borrowing Base Certificates. By the 15th day of each month, Borrower Agent shall deliver to Lender a Borrowing Base Certificate prepared as of the close of business of the previous month; provided that, in addition to such monthly Borrowing Base Certificate, (a) during any Xxxxx 0 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx Period, Borrower Agent shall also deliver to Lender a Borrowing Base Certificate on a semi-monthly basis, and in no event no later than the (i) 15^th day of each calendar month, prepared as of the close of business of the previous calendar month and (ii) by the last Business Day of each calendar month, prepared as of the close of business on the last day of the second full week of each calendar month, and (b) during any Xxxxx 0 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx Period, Borrower Agent shall also deliver to Lender a Borrowing Base Certificate on a weekly basis, and in no event no later than the 5^th day of each week, prepared as of the close of the last day of the preceding week; provided, however, that during any period when an Event of Default exists, Borrower Agent shall deliver a Borrowing Base Certificate as frequently as shall be requested by Lender. All calculations of the LC Obligations and Excess Availability in any Borrowing Base Certificate shall originally be made by Borrower and certified by a Senior Officer, provided that, Lender may from time to time review and adjust any such calculation (a) to reflect its reasonable estimate of declines in value of any Collateral, due to collections received in the Dominion Account or otherwise; (b) to adjust advance rates to reflect changes in dilution, quality, mix and other factors affecting Collateral; and (c) to the extent the calculation is not made in accordance with this Agreement or does not accurately reflect the Availability Reserve.

8.2. Administration of Accounts.

8.2.1. Records and Schedules of Accounts. Each Borrower shall keep accurate and complete records, in all material respects, of its Accounts, including all payments and collections thereon, and shall submit to Lender sales, collection, reconciliation and other reports in form satisfactory to Lender, on such periodic basis as Lender may request in the exercise of its good faith credit judgment. Each Borrower shall also provide to Lender, on or before the 15th day of each month, a detailed aged trial balance of all Accounts as of the end of the preceding month, specifying each Account’s Account Debtor name, amount, invoice date and due date, showing any discount, allowance, credit, authorized return or dispute, and including such proof of delivery, copies of invoices and invoice registers, copies of related documents, repayment histories, status reports and other information as Lender may reasonably request; provided however, during any Trigger Period, Borrowers shall deliver such information biweekly to Lender. If Accounts in an aggregate face amount of $25,000 or more cease to be Eligible Accounts (and such Accounts were reflected as Eligible Accounts on the most recently delivered Borrowing Base Certificate), Borrowers shall notify Lender of such occurrence promptly after any Borrower has knowledge thereof.

8.2.2. Taxes. If an Account of any Borrower includes a charge for any Taxes, Lender is authorized, in its discretion, if an Event of Default is existing, to pay the amount thereof to the proper taxing authority for the account of such Borrower and to charge Borrowers therefor; provided, however, that Lender shall not be liable for any Taxes that may be due from Borrowers or with respect to any Collateral.

8.2.3. Account Verification. Whether or not a Default or Event of Default exists, Lender shall have the right at any time, in the name of Lender, any designee of Lender or any Borrower, to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any Accounts of Borrowers by mail, telephone or otherwise. Borrowers shall cooperate fully with Lender in an effort to facilitate and promptly conclude any such verification process.

8.2.4. Maintenance of Dominion Account. Obligors shall maintain Dominion Accounts pursuant to lockbox or other arrangements acceptable to Lender in its good faith credit judgment; provided that, Lender agrees that, upon satisfaction of the condition precedent set forth in Section 6.1(d) hereof, the arrangements in place as of the Closing Date are acceptable to Lender. Obligors shall obtain an agreement (in form and substance satisfactory to Lender) from each lockbox servicer and Dominion Account bank, establishing Lender’s control over and Lien in the lockbox or Dominion Account, which may be exercised by Lender during any Trigger Period, requiring immediate deposit of all remittances received in the lockbox to a Dominion Account, and waiving offset rights of such servicer or bank, except for customary administrative charges. If a Dominion Account is not maintained with Lender during a Trigger Period, Lender may require immediate transfer of all funds in such account to a Dominion Account maintained with Lender. Lender assumes no responsibility to Obligors for any lockbox arrangement or Dominion Account, including any claim of accord and satisfaction or release with respect to any Payment Items accepted by any bank.

8.2.5. Proceeds of Collateral. Obligors shall request in writing and otherwise take all necessary steps to ensure that all payments on Accounts or otherwise relating to Collateral are made directly to a Dominion Account (or a lockbox relating to a Dominion Account). If any Obligor or its Subsidiary receives cash or Payment Items with respect to any Collateral, it shall hold same in trust for Lender, in its capacities as Lender and Collateral Agent, and promptly (not later than the next Business Day) deposit same into a Dominion Account.

8.3. Administration of Inventory.

8.3.1. Records and Reports of Inventory. Each Borrower shall keep accurate and complete records of its Inventory, including costs and daily withdrawals and additions, and shall submit to Lender (i) a schedule of Inventory, based upon Borrowers’ perpetual inventory, as of the preceding day itemizing and describing the kind, type, quantity and location of all inventory of Borrowers and the Value thereof, (the determination of Value shall be made by reference to (a) the closing prices on the New York Mercantile Exchange for near month contracts and (b) the postings for the relevant markets reported by Xxxxx’x or OPIS, as appropriate, in each case as of the Friday

immediately preceding the date of the report, or if Friday is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day on which the New York Mercantile Exchange is open or Xxxxx’x or OPIS is published, as appropriate) and (ii) a detailed statement of all inventory that is not located on the premises described on Schedule 8.6.1, in each case, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, concurrently with the delivery of the Borrowing Base Certificate under Section 8.1 hereof or on such other periodic basis as Lender may request in the exercise of its good faith credit judgment. In addition to the foregoing, each Borrower shall conduct a physical inventory at least once per calendar year (and on a more frequent basis if requested by Lender during any period when an Event of Default exists or Excess Availability is less than $10,000,000) and periodic cycle counts consistent with historical practices, and shall provide to Lender a report based on each such inventory and count promptly upon completion thereof, together with such supporting information as Lender may request. Lender may participate in and observe each physical count.

8.3.2. Returns of Inventory. No Borrower shall return any Inventory to a supplier, vendor or other Person, whether for cash, credit or otherwise, unless (a) such return is in the Ordinary Course of Business; (b) no Default, Event of Default or Overadvance exists or would result therefrom; and (c) Lender is promptly notified if the aggregate Value of all Eligible Inventory returned since the delivery of the last Borrowing Base Certificate exceeds $25,000.

8.3.3. Acquisition, Sale and Maintenance. No Borrower shall acquire or accept any Inventory on consignment or approval, and shall take all steps to assure that all Inventory is produced in accordance with Applicable Law, including the FLSA. No Borrower shall sell any Inventory on consignment or approval or any other basis under which the customer may return or require a Borrower to repurchase such Inventory. Borrowers shall use, store and maintain all Inventory with reasonable care and caution, in accordance with applicable standards of any insurance and in conformity with all material Applicable Law, and shall make current rent payments (within applicable grace periods provided for in leases and subject to disputes in good faith) at all locations where a material portion of Collateral is located.

8.4. Administration of Equipment. Each Borrower shall keep accurate and complete records of its Equipment, including kind, quality, quantity, cost, acquisitions and dispositions thereof, and shall submit to Lender, on such periodic basis as Lender may request during the continuance of an Event of Default, a current schedule thereof, in form satisfactory to Lender. Promptly upon Lender’s request and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Obligors shall deliver to Lender evidence of their ownership or interests in any Equipment.

8.5. Administration of Deposit Accounts. Schedule 8.5 (as such Schedule is amended from time to time) sets forth all Deposit Accounts maintained by Obligors, including all Dominion Accounts. Each Obligor shall take all actions necessary to establish Lender’s control, in its capacities as Lender and Collateral Agent, of each such Deposit Account (other than any Excluded Account). Each Obligor shall be the sole account holder of each

Deposit Account (other than an Excluded Account) and shall not allow any other Person (other than Lender, in its capacities as Lender and Collateral Agent, and the banking institution providing such Deposit Account) to have control over a Deposit Account (other than an Excluded Account) or any Property deposited therein. Each Obligor shall promptly notify Lender of any opening or closing of a Deposit Account (other than an Excluded Account) and, with the consent of Lender, will amend Schedule 8.5 to reflect same.

8.6. General Provisions.

8.6.1. Location of Collateral. All Inventory, other than Inventory in transit, and all books and records related to Inventory or Accounts, shall at all times be kept by Obligors at the business locations set forth in Schedule 8.6.1 (as such Schedule is amended from time to time) except that Borrowers may (a) make sales or other dispositions of Inventory in accordance with Section 10.2.6; and (b) move Inventory to another location in the United States, upon fifteen (15) days prior written notice to Lender.

8.6.2. Insurance of Collateral; Condemnation Proceeds.

(a) Each Obligor shall maintain insurance with respect to the Collateral, covering casualty, hazard, theft, malicious mischief, flood and other risks, in amounts, with endorsements and with reputable insurers satisfactory to Lender in the exercise of its good faith credit judgment. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, proceeds under each policy shall be payable to Lender. From time to time upon request, Obligors shall deliver to Lender the originals or certified copies of its insurance policies and updated flood plain searches. Unless Lender shall agree otherwise, each policy shall include satisfactory endorsements (i) showing Lender as loss payee; and (ii) requiring thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender in the event of cancellation of the policy for any reason whatsoever (if the insurer agrees). If any Obligor fails to provide and pay for any insurance, Lender may, at its option, but shall not be required to, procure the insurance and charge Obligors therefor. While no Event of Default exists, Obligors may settle, adjust or compromise any insurance claim, as long as the proceeds are delivered in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement. If an Event of Default exists, only Lender shall be authorized to settle, adjust and compromise such claims.

(b) Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and as provided below, any proceeds of insurance (other than proceeds from workers’ compensation or D&O insurance) and any awards arising from condemnation of any Collateral shall be paid to Lender. Any such proceeds or awards that relate to Inventory shall be applied to payment of the Revolver Loans, and then to any other Obligations outstanding. Subject to clause (c) below, any proceeds or awards that relate to Equipment or Real Estate shall be applied first to the Term Loan and then to any other Obligations outstanding.

(c) If requested by Obligors in writing within 15 days after Lender’s receipt of any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards relating to any loss or destruction of Equipment or Real Estate, Obligors may use such proceeds or awards to repair or replace such Equipment or Real Estate (and until so used, the proceeds shall be held by Lender as Cash Collateral) as long as (i) no Default or Event of Default exists; (ii) such repair or replacement is promptly undertaken and concluded, to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender; (iii) any replacement buildings are constructed on real property subject to the first priority perfected Lien of Lender (subject to Permitted Liens); (iv) the repaired or replaced Property is free of Liens, other than Permitted Liens that are not Purchase Money Liens; (v) the Obligors shall provide to Lender information reasonably requested regarding the status of such repair or replacement as Lender may reasonably require; and (vi) the aggregate amount of such proceeds or awards from any single casualty or condemnation does not exceed $5,000,000.

8.6.3. Protection of Collateral. All expenses of protecting, storing, warehousing, insuring, handling, maintaining and shipping any Collateral, all Taxes payable with respect to any Collateral (including any sale thereof), and all other payments required to be made by Lender to any Person to realize upon any Collateral, shall be borne and paid by Obligors. Lender shall not be liable or responsible in any way for the safekeeping of any Collateral, for any loss or damage thereto (except for reasonable care in its custody while Collateral is in Lender’s actual possession), for any diminution in the value thereof, or for any act or default of any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency or other Person whatsoever, but the same shall be at Obligors’ sole risk.

SECTION 9. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

9.1. General Representations and Warranties. To induce Lender to enter into this Agreement and to make available the Commitment, Loans and Letters of Credit, each Obligor represents and warrants that:

9.1.1. Organization and Qualification. Each Obligor and Subsidiary is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization. Each Obligor and its Subsidiary is duly qualified, authorized to do business and in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction where failure to be so qualified could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

9.1.2. Power and Authority. Each Obligor is duly authorized to execute, deliver and perform its Loan Documents. The execution, delivery and performance of such Loan Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary action, and do not (a) require any consent or approval of any holders of Equity Interests of any Obligor, other than those already obtained; (b) contravene the Organic Documents of any Obligor; (c) violate or cause a default under any Applicable Law or Material Contract; or (d) result in or require the imposition of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) on any Property of any Obligor.

9.1.3. Enforceability. Each Loan Document to which an Obligor is a party is a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor party thereto, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally.

9.1.4. Capital Structure. Schedule 9.1.4 shows, as of the Closing Date, for each Obligor and its Subsidiary, its name, its jurisdiction of organization, and other than with respect to Holdings, its authorized and issued Equity Interests, the holders of its Equity Interests, and all agreements binding on such holders with respect to their Equity Interests. Except as disclosed on Schedule 9.1.4, in the five years preceding the Closing Date, no Obligor or Subsidiary has acquired any substantial assets from any other Person nor been the surviving entity in a merger or combination. Each Obligor has good title to its Equity Interests in its Subsidiaries, subject only to Lender’s Lien, and all such Equity Interests are duly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, to the extent applicable. Except as set forth on Schedule 9.1.4, as of the Closing Date, there are no outstanding purchase options, warrants, subscription rights, agreements to issue or sell, convertible interests, phantom rights or powers of attorney relating to Equity Interests of any Obligor or Subsidiary. As of the Closing Date, (i) Holdings owns legally and beneficially one hundred percent (100%) of the issued Equity Interests of the Company and has no other direct Subsidiaries, (ii) the Company owns legally and beneficially one hundred percent (100%) of the issued Equity Interests of Wyoming Pipeline and has no other Subsidiaries, and (iii) Wyoming Pipeline has no Subsidiaries.

9.1.5. Title to Properties; Priority of Liens. Each Obligor and Subsidiary has good and marketable title to (or valid leasehold interests in) all of its Eligible Inventory and Eligible Accounts. Except as would not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect, each Obligor and its Subsidiary has good title to all of its personal Property, including all Property reflected in any financial statements delivered to Lender, in each case free of Liens except Permitted Liens. Each Obligor and Subsidiary has paid and discharged all lawful claims that, if unpaid, could become a Lien on its Properties, other than Permitted Liens. All Liens of Lender in the Collateral are duly perfected, first priority Liens, subject only to Permitted Liens that are expressly allowed to have priority over Lender’s Liens.

9.1.6. Accounts. Lender may rely, in determining which Accounts are Eligible Accounts, on all statements and representations made by Obligors with respect thereto. Obligors warrant, with respect to each Account at the time it is shown as an Eligible Account in a Borrowing Base Certificate, that:

(a) it is genuine and in all material respects what it purports to be, and is not evidenced by a judgment;

(b) it arises out of a completed, bona fide sale and delivery of goods in the Ordinary Course of Business, and substantially in accordance with any purchase order, contract or other document relating thereto;

(c) it is for a sum certain, maturing as stated in the invoice covering such sale, a copy of which has been furnished or is available to Lender on request;

(d) it is not subject to any offset, Lien (other than Permitted Liens, Lender’s Lien), deduction, defense, dispute, counterclaim or other adverse condition except as arising in the Ordinary Course of Business and disclosed to Lender; and it is absolutely owing by the Account Debtor, without contingency in any respect;

(e) no purchase order, agreement, document or Applicable Law restricts assignment of the Account to Lender (regardless of whether, under the UCC, the restriction is ineffective), and the applicable Obligor is the sole payee or remittance party shown on the invoice;

(f) no extension, compromise, settlement, modification, credit, deduction or return has been authorized with respect to the Account, except discounts or allowances granted in the Ordinary Course of Business for prompt payment that are reflected on the face of the invoice related thereto and in the reports submitted to Lender hereunder; and

(g) to the Obligors’ knowledge, (i) there are no facts or circumstances that are reasonably likely to impair the enforceability or collectibility of such Account; (ii) the Account Debtor had the capacity to contract when the Account arose, continues to meet the applicable Obligor’s customary credit standards, is Solvent, is not contemplating or subject to an Insolvency Proceeding, and has not failed, or suspended or ceased doing business; and (iii) there are no proceedings or actions threatened or pending against any Account Debtor that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Account Debtor’s financial condition.

SECTION 12. GUARANTY

12.1. Guaranty of the Obligations. Subject to the provisions of Section 12.2, Guarantors jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guaranty to Lender the due and punctual payment in full of all Obligations when the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code) (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”).

Each Obligor that is a Qualified ECP Guarantor at the time the Guaranty or the grant of a Lien under the Loan Documents, in each case, by any Specified Obligor becomes effective with respect to any Swap Obligation, hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support to each Specified Obligor with respect to such Swap Obligation as may be needed by such Specified Obligor from time to time to honor all of its obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of such Swap Obligation (but, in each case, only up to the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering such Qualified ECP Guarantor’s obligations and undertakings under this Section 12 voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations and undertakings of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full. Each Obligor intends this Section to constitute, and this Section shall be deemed to constitute, a guarantee of the obligations of, and a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of, each Specified Obligor for all purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act.

12.2. Contribution by Guarantors. All Guarantors desire to allocate among themselves (collectively, the “Contributing Guarantors”), in a fair and equitable manner, their obligations arising under this Guaranty. 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 Guaranteed. “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 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 state law; provided, solely for purposes of calculating the “Fair Share Contribution Amount” with respect to any Contributing Guarantor for purposes of this Section 12.2, any assets 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 (1) 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 12.2), minus (2) 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 12.2. 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 12.2 shall not be construed in any way to limit the liability of any Contributing Guarantor hereunder. Each Guarantor is a third-party beneficiary to the contribution agreement set forth in this Section 12.2.

12.3. Payment by Guarantors. Subject to Section 12.2, Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree, in furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which Lender may have at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, that upon the failure of any 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 (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code), Guarantors will upon demand pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to Lender, 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 which, but for any Borrower’s becoming the subject of a case under the Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on such Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against such Borrower for such interest in the related bankruptcy case) and all other Guaranteed Obligations then owed to Lender as aforesaid.

12.4. 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:

12.4.1. 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;

12.4.2. Lender may enforce this Guaranty upon the occurrence of an Event of Default notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between any Borrower and Lender with respect to the existence of such Event of Default;

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

12.4.4. 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 Lender 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;

12.4.5. Lender, 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 Lender in respect hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, or exercise any other right or remedy that Lender may have against any such security, in each case as Lender in its discretion may determine consistent herewith or any applicable security agreement, 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 operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Guarantor against any Borrower or any security for the Guaranteed Obligations; and (vi) exercise any other rights available to it under the Loan Documents; and

12.4.6. 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 Loan 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 Loan 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 Loan 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 Loan 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 Lender might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) Lender’s consent to the change, reorganization or termination of the corporate structure or existence of Holdings 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 any Borrower may allege or assert against Lender 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.

12.5. Waivers by Guarantors. Each Guarantor hereby waives, for the benefit of Lender: (a) any right to require Lender, as a condition of payment or performance by such Guarantor, to (i) proceed against any 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 any 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 Lender in favor of any Borrower or any other Person, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the power of Lender whatsoever; (b) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of any 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 any 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 Lender’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations, except behavior which amounts to bad faith; (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 Lender 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 Borrowers and notices of any of the matters referred to in Section 12.4 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.

12.6. Guarantors’ Rights of Subrogation, Contribution, etc. Until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the 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 any 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, 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 any Borrower with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, (b) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy that Lender now has or may hereafter have against any Borrower, and (c) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any collateral or security now or hereafter held by Lender. In addition, until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Commitment 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 12.2. 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 any 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 Lender may have against any Borrower, to all right, title and interest Lender may have in any such collateral or security, and to any right Lender 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 Lender and shall forthwith be paid over to Lender to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms hereof.

12.7. Subordination of Other Obligations. Any Indebtedness of any 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 Lender and shall forthwith be paid over to Lender 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.

12.8. Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in effect until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Commitment 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.

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

12.10. Financial Condition of Borrowers. Any Loan may be made to Borrowers or continued from time to time, without notice to or authorization from any Guarantor regardless of the financial or other condition of Borrowers at the time of any such grant or continuation. Lender shall not have any obligation to disclose or discuss with any Guarantor its assessment, or any Guarantor’s assessment, of the financial condition of any Borrower. Each Guarantor has adequate means to obtain information from each Borrower on a continuing basis concerning the financial condition of such Borrower and its ability to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents, and each Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of Borrowers 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 Lender to disclose any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, operations or conditions of any Borrower now known or hereafter known by Lender.

12.11. Bankruptcy, etc. So long as any Guaranteed Obligations remain outstanding, no Guarantor shall, without the prior written consent of Lender, commence or join with any other Person in commencing any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency case or proceeding of or against any Borrower or any other Guarantor. The obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall not be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, deferred, suspended or terminated by any case or proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of any Borrower or any other Guarantor or by any defense which any Borrower or any other Guarantor may have by reason of the order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding.

12.11.1. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which accrues after the commencement of any case or proceeding referred to in Section 12.11.1 above (or, if interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of the commencement of such case or proceeding, such interest as would have accrued on such portion of the Guaranteed Obligations if such case or proceeding had not been commenced) shall be included in the Guaranteed Obligations because it is the intention of Guarantors and Lender that the Guaranteed Obligations which are guaranteed by Guarantors pursuant hereto should be determined without regard to any rule of law or order which may relieve any Borrower of any portion of such Guaranteed Obligations.

Guarantors will permit any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar Person to pay Lender, or allow the claim of Lender in respect of, any such interest accruing after the date on which such case or proceeding is commenced.

12.11.2. In the event that all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid by any Borrower, the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall continue and remain in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, in the event that all or any part of such payment(s) are rescinded or recovered directly or indirectly from Lender as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise, and any such payments which are so rescinded or recovered shall constitute Guaranteed Obligations for all purposes hereunder.

12.12. Discharge of Guaranty Upon Sale of Guarantor. If all of the Equity Interests of any Guarantor (excluding any Borrower) or any of its successors in interest hereunder shall be sold or otherwise disposed of (including by merger or consolidation) in a transaction permitted hereby, 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 Lender or any other Person effective as of the time of such sale or disposition.

SECTION 13. MISCELLANEOUS

13.1. Consents, Amendments and Waivers.

13.1.1. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Obligors, Lender, and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Obligor shall have the right to assign its rights or delegate its obligations under any Loan Documents.

13.1.2. Amendments and Other Modifications. No modification of any Loan Document, including any extension or amendment of a Loan Document or any waiver of a Default or Event of Default, shall be effective without the prior written agreement of Lender and each Obligor party to such Loan Document.

13.2. Indemnity. EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO TAXES, WHICH ARE ADDRESSED EXCLUSIVELY IN SECTIONS 3.7.1(B) AND 5.8, EACH OBLIGOR SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS THE INDEMNITEES AGAINST ANY CLAIMS THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY INDEMNITEE, INCLUDING CLAIMS ASSERTED BY ANY OBLIGOR OR OTHER PERSON OR ARISING FROM THE NEGLIGENCE OF AN INDEMNITEE. In no event shall any party to a Loan Document have any obligation thereunder to indemnify or hold harmless an Indemnitee with respect to a Claim that is determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. Without limitation on the generality of the foregoing, this indemnity shall extend to indemnified matters arising out of an Indemnitee’s own simple or ordinary negligence (whether active or passive) but not to such matters arising from the Indemnitee’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

13.3. Notices and Communications.

13.3.1. Notice Address. Subject to Section 4.1.3, all notices and other communications by or to a party hereto shall be in writing and shall be given to any Obligor, at Borrower Agent’s address shown on the signature pages hereof, and to any other Person at its address shown on the signature pages hereof, or at such other address as a party may hereafter specify by notice in accordance with this Section 13.3. Each such notice or other communication shall be effective only (a) if given by facsimile transmission, when transmitted to the applicable facsimile number, if confirmation of receipt is received; (b) if given by mail, three Business Days after deposit in the U.S. mail, with first-class postage pre-paid, addressed to the applicable address; or (c) if given by personal delivery, when duly delivered to the notice address with receipt acknowledged. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no notice to Lender pursuant to Section 2.1.3, 2.3, 3.1.2, 4.1.1 or 5.3.3 shall be effective until actually received by the individual to whose attention at Lender such notice is required to be sent. Any written notice or other communication that is not sent in conformity with the foregoing provisions shall nevertheless be effective on the date actually received by the noticed party. Any notice received by Borrower Agent shall be deemed received by all Obligors.

13.3.2. Electronic Communications; Voice Mail. Notices and other communications to Lender hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail, FPML messaging and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by Lender. Lender or any Obligor may each, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. Unless Lender otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgment from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement) and (ii) notices and other communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received by the intended recipient upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail address or other written acknowledgement) indicating that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor; provided that for both clauses (i) and (ii), if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice, email or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient. Lender makes no assurances as to the privacy and security of electronic communications. Voice mail may not be used as effective notice under the Loan Documents.

13.3.3. Non-Conforming Communications. Lender may rely upon any notices purportedly given by or on behalf of any Obligor even if such notices were not made in a

manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not confirmed, or if the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from a later confirmation. Each Obligor shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from any liabilities, losses, costs and expenses arising from any telephonic or electronic communication purportedly given by or on behalf of an Obligor.

13.4. Performance of Borrowers’ Obligations. Lender may, in its discretion at any time and from time to time, at Borrowers’ expense, pay any amount or do any act required of a Borrower under any Loan Documents or otherwise lawfully requested by Lender to (a) enforce any Loan Documents or collect any Obligations; (b) protect, insure, maintain or realize upon any Collateral; or (c) defend or maintain the validity or priority of Lender’s Liens in any Collateral, including any payment of a judgment, insurance premium, warehouse charge, finishing or processing charge, or landlord claim, or any discharge of a Lien. All payments, costs and expenses (including Extraordinary Expenses) of Lender under this Section shall be reimbursed by Borrowers, on demand, with interest from the date incurred to the date of payment thereof at the Default Rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. Any payment made or action taken by Lender under this Section shall be without prejudice to any right to assert an Event of Default or to exercise any other rights or remedies under the Loan Documents.

13.5. Credit Inquiries. Each Borrower hereby authorizes Lender (but it shall have no obligation) to respond to usual and customary credit inquiries from third parties concerning any Borrower or Subsidiary.

13.6. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of the Loan Documents shall be interpreted in such manner as to be valid under Applicable Law. If any provision is found to be invalid under Applicable Law, it shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity and the remaining provisions of the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect.

13.7. Cumulative Effect; Conflict of Terms. The provisions of the Loan Documents are cumulative. The parties acknowledge that the Loan Documents may use several limitations, tests or measurements to regulate similar matters, and they agree that these are cumulative and that each must be performed as provided. Except as otherwise provided in another Loan Document (by specific reference to the applicable provision of this Agreement), if any provision contained herein is in direct conflict with any provision in another Loan Document, the provision herein shall govern and control.

13.8. Counterparts. Any Loan Document may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement shall become effective when Lender has received counterparts bearing the signatures of all parties hereto. Delivery of a signature page of any Loan Document by telecopy or other electronic means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of such agreement.

13.9. Entire Agreement. THE LOAN DOCUMENTS CONSTITUTE THE ENTIRE CONTRACT AMONG THE PARTIES RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF, AND SUPERSEDE ANY AND ALL PREVIOUS AGREEMENTS AND UNDERSTANDINGS, ORAL OR WRITTEN, RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF.

13.10. No Control; No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. Nothing in any Loan Document and no action of Lender pursuant to any Loan Document shall be deemed to constitute control of any Obligor by Lender. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated by any Loan Document, Obligors acknowledge and agree that (a)(i) this credit facility and all related services by Lender or its Affiliates are arm’s-length commercial transactions between Obligors and such Person; (ii) Obligors have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they have deemed appropriate; and (iii) Obligors are capable of evaluating, and understand and accept, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents; (b) each of Lender and its Affiliates is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for Obligors, any of their Affiliates or any other Person, and has no obligation with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents except as expressly set forth therein; and (c) Lender and its Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of Obligors and their Affiliates, and have no obligation to disclose any of such interests to Obligors or their Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Obligor hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against Lender and its Affiliates with respect to any breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any transaction contemplated by a Loan Document.

13.11. Confidentiality. Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates, and its and their partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (provided such Persons are informed of the confidential nature of the Information and instructed to keep it confidential); (b) to the extent requested by any governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it or its Affiliates; (c) to the extent required by Applicable Law or by any subpoena or other legal process; (d) to any other party hereto; (e) in connection with any action or proceeding, or other exercise of rights or remedies, relating to any Loan Documents or Obligations; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as this Section, to any potential or actual transferee of any interest in a Loan Document or any actual or prospective party (or its advisors) to any Bank Product; (g) with the consent of Borrower Agent; or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) is available to Lender or its Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Borrowers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender may publish or disseminate general information describing this credit facility, including the names and addresses of Borrowers and a general description of Borrowers’ businesses, and may use Borrowers’ logos, trademarks or product photographs in advertising materials. As used herein, “Information” means all information

received from an Obligor or Subsidiary relating to it or its business that is identified as confidential when delivered. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to have complied if it exercises the same degree of care that it accords its own confidential information. Lender acknowledges that (i) Information may include material non-public information concerning an Obligor or Subsidiary; (ii) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information; and (iii) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with Applicable Law, including federal and state securities laws.

13.12. [Reserved].

13.13. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE LOAN DOCUMENTS (EXCEPT, AS TO ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH THEREIN) SHALL BE GOVERNED AND CONTROLLED BY THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AS TO INTERPRETATION, ENFORCEMENT, VALIDITY, CONSTRUCTION, EFFECT, AND IN ALL OTHER RESPECTS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE LEGALITY OF THE INTEREST RATE AND OTHER CHARGES. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be prohibited by or invalid under Applicable Law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or remaining provisions of this Agreement.

13.14. CONSENT TO FORUM; JURY TRIAL WAIVER. EACH OBLIGOR HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY PROCEEDING OR DISPUTE RELATING IN ANY WAY TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH PROCEEDING SHALL BE BROUGHT BY IT SOLELY IN ANY SUCH COURT. EACH OBLIGOR IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL CLAIMS, OBJECTIONS AND DEFENSES THAT IT MAY HAVE REGARDING SUCH COURT’S PERSONAL OR SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION, VENUE OR INCONVENIENT FORUM. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 13.3.1. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. Nothing herein shall limit the right of Lender to bring proceedings against any Obligor in any other court, nor limit the right of any party to serve process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to preclude enforcement by Lender of any judgment or order obtained in any forum or jurisdiction.

EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY

IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (a) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (b) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

13.15. Waivers by Obligors. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Obligor waives (a) presentment, demand, protest, notice of presentment, default, intent to accelerate, non-payment acceleration, maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any commercial paper, accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper and guaranties at any time held by Lender on which a Obligor may in any way be liable, and hereby ratifies anything Lender may do in this regard; (b) notice prior to taking possession or control of any Collateral; (c) any bond or security that might be required by a court prior to allowing Lender to exercise any rights or remedies; (d) the benefit of all valuation, appraisement and exemption laws; (e) any claim against Lender, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) in any way relating to any Enforcement Action, Obligations, Loan Documents or transactions relating thereto; and (f) notice of acceptance hereof. Each Obligor acknowledges that the foregoing waivers are a material inducement to Lender entering into this Agreement and that Lender is relying upon the foregoing in its dealings with Obligors. Each Obligor has reviewed the foregoing waivers with its legal counsel and has knowingly and voluntarily waived its jury trial and other rights following consultation with legal counsel. In the event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a written consent to a trial by the court.

13.16. Patriot Act Notice. Lender hereby notifies Obligors that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, Lender is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Obligor, including its legal name, address, tax ID number and other information that will allow Lender to identify it in accordance with the Patriot Act. Lender will also require information regarding each personal guarantor, if any, and may require information regarding Obligors’ management and owners, such as legal name, address, social security number and date of birth.

13.17. NO ORAL AGREEMENT. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

13.18. AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT. THIS AGREEMENT IS AN AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF THE SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AGREEMENT. ALL OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AGREEMENT AND ALL LIENS SECURING PAYMENT OF SUCH OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AGREEMENT SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE CONTINUING AND THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO EVIDENCE OR RESULT IN A NOVATION OR REPAYMENT AND RE-BORROWING OF SUCH OBLIGATIONS. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL SUPERSEDE THE SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AGREEMENT. FROM AND AFTER THE CLOSING DATE, THIS AGREEMENT SHALL GOVERN THE TERMS OF THE OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AGREEMENT. TO THE EXTENT NOT REPLACED BY LOAN DOCUMENTS DATED AS OF THE CLOSING DATE, ANY “LOAN DOCUMENTS” (AS DEFINED IN THE ORIGINAL LOAN AGREEMENT, THE AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AGREEMENT AND THE SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AGREEMENT) EXECUTED IN CONNECTION WITH THE ORIGINAL LOAN AGREEMENT, THE AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AGREEMENT AND THE SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AGREEMENT, AS APPLICABLE (OTHER THAN THE ORIGINAL LOAN AGREEMENT, THE AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AGREEMENT, THE SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AGREEMENT AND ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT THAT IS SPECIFICALLY TERMINATED BY THE PARTIES THERETO) SHALL CONTINUE TO BE EFFECTIVE, AND ALL REFERENCES IN THOSE PRIOR LOAN DOCUMENTS TO THE “LOAN AGREEMENT”, THE “LOAN AGREEMENT” OR THE “AGREEMENT” SHALL BE DEEMED TO REFER TO THIS AGREEMENT WITHOUT FURTHER AMENDMENT OF SUCH PRIOR LOAN DOCUMENT.

13.19. Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Liens and security interest granted to Lender pursuant to any Loan Document and the exercise of any right or remedy in respect of the Collateral by Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, this Agreement and any other Loan Document, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control with respect to any right or remedy. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral of Lender (and the providers of Bank Products) shall be subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. Lender may not require any Obligor to take any action with respect to the creation, perfection or priority of its security interest, whether pursuant to the express terms hereof or of any other Loan Document or pursuant to the further assurance provisions hereof or any other Loan Document, to the extent that such action would be violative of the Intercreditor Agreement. The delivery of any Collateral to a collateral agent other than Lender shall satisfy any delivery requirement hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the extent that such delivery is consistent with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.

13.20. Termination and Release

(a) When all the Obligations (other than contingent obligations for which no claim has been made) have been paid in full and the Commitments of Lender shall have expired or been sooner terminated in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, this Agreement shall terminate.

(b) Subject to Section 4.5, upon termination of this Agreement the Collateral shall cease to secure the Obligations.

(c) Upon such release or any release of Collateral or any part thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, including in connection with any disposition of Collateral otherwise permitted by this Agreement, Lender shall, upon the request and at the sole cost and expense of the Obligors, promptly assign, transfer and deliver to Obligors, against receipt and without recourse to or warranty by Lender except as to the fact that Lender has not encumbered the released assets, such of the Collateral or any part thereof to be released (in the case of a release) as may be in possession of Lender and as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof, and, with respect to any other Lender, proper documents and instruments (including UCC-3 termination financing statements or releases) acknowledging the termination hereof or the release of such Collateral, as the case may be.
