The Term Loan Borrowing Capacity calculations shall be consistent with historical methods of valuation and calculation, and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Agents (and not necessarily calculated in accordance with GAAP). The Borrowers shall have the burden of establishing any alleged negligence, misconduct or lack of good faith by the Agents or any Lender under any Loan Documents. No provision of any Loan Documents shall be construed against any party by reason of such party having, or being deemed to have, drafted the provision. For purposes of any Collateral located in the Province of Quebec or charged by any deed of hypothec (or any other Loan Document) and for all other purposes pursuant to which the interpretation or construction of a Loan Document may be subject to the laws of the Province of Quebec or a court or tribunal exercising jurisdiction in the Province of Quebec, (i) “personal property” shall be deemed to include “movable property”, (ii) “real property” shall be deemed to include “immovable property” and an “easement” shall be deemed to include a “servitude”, (iii) “tangible property” shall be deemed to include “corporeal property”, (iv) “intangible property” shall be deemed to include “incorporeal property”, (v) “security interest” and “mortgage” shall be deemed to include a “hypothec”, (vi) all references to filing, registering or recording under the PPSA or UCC shall be deemed to include publication under the Civil Code of Quebec, and all references to releasing any Lien shall be deemed to include a release, discharge and mainlevee of a hypothec, (vii) all references to “perfection” of or “perfected” Liens shall be deemed to include a reference to the “opposability” of such Liens to third parties, (viii) any “right of offset”, “right of setoff” or similar expression shall be deemed to include a “right of compensation”, (ix) “goods” shall be deemed to include “corporeal movable property” other than chattel paper, documents of title, instruments, money and securities, (x) an “agent” shall be deemed to include a “mandatary”, (xi) “joint and several” shall include “solidary”, (xii) “gross negligence or wilful misconduct” shall be deemed to be “intentional or gross fault”, (xiii) “beneficial ownership” shall include “ownership on behalf of another as mandatary”, (xiv) “priority” shall include “prior claim”, (xv) “survey” shall include “certificate of location and plan”, (xvi) “state” shall include “province”, (xvii) “fee simple title” shall include “absolute ownership”, and (xviii) “accounts” shall include “claims”.

The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, rely on any determination made by any Loan Party in any document delivered to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may determine or redetermine the Dollar Equivalent of any amount on any date either in its own discretion or upon the request of any Lender. The Administrative Agent may set up appropriate rounding off mechanisms or otherwise round-off amounts hereunder to the nearest higher or lower amount in whole Dollar or cent to ensure amounts owing by any party hereunder or that otherwise need to be calculated or converted hereunder are expressed in whole Dollars or in whole cents, as may be necessary or appropriate.

SECTION 2.

CREDIT FACILITY

2.1. Term Loan Facility.

2.1.1. Term Loan. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, on the Third Amendment Effective Date, each Lender shall make to (i) the US Borrower a term loan in the principal amount equal to its Pro Rata share of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) (the “Tranche A Term Loan”), (ii) the US Borrower a term loan in the principal amount equal to its Pro Rata share of Twenty-Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($27,500,000) (the “Tranche B U.S. Term Loan”), and (iii) the Canadian Borrower a term loan in the principal amount equal to its Pro Rata share of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) (the “Tranche B Canadian Term Loan” and, together with the Tranche B U.S. Term Loan, the “Tranche B Term Loan” and such Tranche B Term Loan together with the Tranche A Term Loan, collectively the “Term Loan”), provided that, in no event shall the aggregate Term Loan made by any Lender exceed such Lender’s Commitment. The Commitments shall be terminated upon the funding on the Term Loan on the Third Amendment Effective Date. The Term Loan is not a revolving credit facility and may not be repaid and redrawn and any repayments or prepayments of principal on the Term Loan shall permanently reduce the Term Loan. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint or joint and several. Each Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to disburse the proceeds of the Term Loan on the Third Amendment Effective Date in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The entire unpaid principal balance of the Term Loan shall be due and payable on the Termination Date.

(b) Term Loan Borrowing Capacity. The Combined Total Outstandings shall not exceed the lesser of the Term Loan Borrowing Capacity or the Combined Loan Cap. Until the Full Payment (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) of the Revolving Loan Debt and the termination of the “Commitments” (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement), the Term Loan Borrowing Capacity shall be determined from time to time by the Revolving Agent (subject to the limitations contained in the Intercreditor Agreement) by reference to the most recent Borrowing Base Certificate delivered by the Borrowers.

2.1.2. Notes. The Pro Rata share of the Term Loan made by each Lender and interest accruing thereon shall be evidenced by the records of the Administrative Agent and such Lender. At the request of any Lender, the Borrowers shall deliver a Note to such Lender.

2.1.3. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Term Loan shall be used by the Borrowers solely (a) to pay fees and transaction expenses associated with the closing of this credit facility; and (b) to reduce the Revolving Loan Debt to create availability under the Revolving Borrowing Capacity for use by the Borrowers for working capital, Capital Expenditures and other lawful corporate purposes of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries in accordance with this Agreement and the Revolving Credit Agreement.

2.1.4. Protective Advances. The Administrative Agent shall be authorized, in its discretion, at any time (including any time that a Default or Event of Default exists), to make advances (“Protective Advances”), if the Administrative Agent, after consultation with the Collateral Agent, deems such Protective Advances necessary or desirable to, directly or indirectly, (A) maintain, protect or preserve the value of the Collateral and/or the Administrative Agent’s rights therein as determined in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, including to preserve the Loan Parties’ business assets and infrastructure (such as the payment of insurance premiums, taxes, necessary suppliers, rent and payroll, including without limitation any other payments made concurrently with a payment relating to the maintenance, protection or preservation of value of the Collateral and/or the Administrative Agent’s rights therein or for the preservation of the Loan Parties’ business assets or infrastructure which is made incidentally as a result of the ordinary course operation of the Loan Parties’ treasury management functions), (B) implement and exercise an Enforcement Action with respect to the Collateral, (C) fund an orderly liquidation or wind-down of the Loan Parties’ assets or business or an Insolvency Proceeding (whether or not occurring prior to or after the commencement of an Insolvency Proceeding), (D) enhance the likelihood, or maximize, the repayment of the Obligations, (E) reflect currency fluctuations, or (F) pay any other amounts chargeable to the Loan Parties under any Loan Documents, including costs, fees and expenses. Each Lender shall participate in each Protective Advance on a Pro Rata basis. The Protective Advances shall be secured by the Collateral, shall constitute Obligations hereunder and shall be treated for all purposes as Extraordinary Expenses. The Administrative Agent shall provide the Borrower Agent with written notice of any Protective Advances, provided that failure to provide such notice shall not constitute a default by the Administrative Agent hereunder. In no event shall Protective Advances be required to be made at any time. Any sufferance of a Protective Advance shall not constitute a waiver by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders of the Event of Default caused thereby. In no event shall any Borrower or other Loan Party be deemed a beneficiary of this Section nor authorized to enforce any of its terms.

2.2. Mandatory Prepayments. If at any time the Combined Total Outstandings exceeds the Term Loan Borrowing Capacity then in effect, then (i) until the Full Payment of the Revolving Loan Debt, the Borrowers shall immediately prepay the Revolving Loan Debt, and (ii) thereafter, the Borrowers shall immediately prepay (subject to Section 5.5.1) (a) the Tranche A Term Loan Obligations first until Full Payment thereof and thereafter (b) the Tranche B Term Loan Obligations, for the respective accounts of the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata share thereof, in each case in an amount necessary to eliminate such excess. Each prepayment made pursuant to this Section shall be accompanied by the payment of (i) accrued interest to the date of such payment on the amount prepaid and (ii) whether before or after an Event of Default or acceleration, the Early Termination Fee, if any, payable pursuant to Section 3.2.1 in connection with such prepayment of the Term Loan.

2.3. Optional Prepayments. Borrowers may prepay the principal of any Term Loan at any time in whole or in part, in whole or in part. Each such prepayment shall be irrevocable and be accompanied by a notice specifying the proposed date of such prepayment and the principal amount of the Term Loan or portion thereof to be prepaid. Each prepayment made pursuant to this Section shall be accompanied by the payment of (i) accrued interest to the date of such payment on the amount prepaid and (ii) whether before or after an Event of Default or acceleration, the Early Termination Fee, if any, payable pursuant to Section 3.2.1 in connection with such prepayment of the Term Loan. Each such prepayment shall be applied (subject to Section 5.5.1) to (a) the Tranche A Term Loan Obligations first until Full Payment

thereof and thereafter (b) the Tranche B Term Loan Obligations, for the respective accounts of the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata share thereof, in each case in an amount necessary to eliminate such excess.

2.4. Tax Treatment. The Borrowers and the Lenders agree (i) that the Term Loan is debt for federal income tax purposes, (ii) that the “issue price” of the Term Loan is 100% and that the Term Loan is not governed by the rules set out in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1275-4, and (iii) to adhere to this Agreement for federal income tax purposes and not to file any tax return, report or declaration inconsistent herewith unless otherwise required due to a change in law. The inclusion of this Section 2.4 is not an admission by any Lender that it is subject to United States taxation.

SECTION 3.

INTEREST, FEES AND CHARGES

3.1. Rates and Payment of Interest.

3.1.1. Interest Rate. Subject to Section 3.1.2, (i) the Obligations under the Tranche A Term Loan shall bear interest at a rate equal to Adjusted LIBOR plus 7.25% per annum and (ii) the Obligations under the Tranche B Term Loan shall bear interest at a rate equal to Adjusted LIBOR plus 9.75% per annum.

3.1.2. Default Interest. During any Event of Default described in Section 11.1(a), all Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate. During any other Event of Default, at the option of any Agent or upon the request of the Required Lenders, all Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate. Each Borrower acknowledges that the cost, expense and risk to the Agents and each Lender due to an Event of Default are difficult to ascertain and that the Default Rate is a fair and reasonable estimate to compensate the Agents and the Lenders for such added cost, expense and risk.

3.1.3. Payment of Interest. Interest accrued on the Obligations shall be due and payable in arrears, and each of the Borrowers promises to pay interest to the Lenders (i) on each Interest Payment Date, (ii) on any date of prepayment, with respect to the principal amount of the Term Loan being prepaid, and (iii) on the Termination Date. Interest accrued on any other Obligations shall be due and payable as provided in the Loan Documents and, if no payment date is specified, shall be due and payable on demand. Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest accrued at the Default Rate shall be due and payable on demand.

3.2. Fees.

3.2.1. Early Termination Fee. In the event prior to the fourth anniversary of the Third Amendment Effective Date, whether before or after an Event of Default or acceleration of the Obligations, the Borrowers prepay or are otherwise required to prepay all or any part of the Term Loan for any reason, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a fee (the “Early Termination Fee”) in respect of amounts which are prepaid or are or become payable by reason thereof equal to (a) if such prepayment occurs on or prior to the first anniversary of the Third Amendment Effective Date, four percent (4.0%) of the amounts so prepaid, (b) if such prepayment occurs after the first anniversary of the Third Amendment Effective Date and on or prior to the second anniversary of the Third Amendment Effective Date, two percent (2.0%) of the amounts so prepaid and (C) if such prepayment occurs after the second anniversary of the Third Amendment Effective Date and on or prior to the third anniversary of the Third Amendment Effective Date, one percent (1.0%) of the amounts so prepaid. For greater certainty, if any such prepayment occurs after the third anniversary of the Third Amendment Effective Date, no Early Termination Fee or other fee arising solely on account of prepayment of the Term Loan shall be payable. All parties to this Agreement agree and acknowledge that (i) the Lenders will have suffered damages on account of the early prepayment of the Term Loans, whether before or after an Event of Default or acceleration of the Obligations, and that, in view of the

difficulty in ascertaining the amount of such damages, the Early Termination Fee constitutes reasonable compensation and liquidated damages to compensate the Lenders on account thereof and (ii) the Early Termination Fee constitutes neither a penalty for such prepayment nor unaccrued interest on any Term Loan.

3.2.2. Commitment Fee. In consideration of the establishment of the credit facility, the Borrowers hereby agree to pay a fee (the “Commitment Fee”) to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders on a Pro Rata basis, in an amount equal to one and 62.5/100 percent (1.625%) of the Term Loan Facility Amount as of the Third Amendment Effective Date (such amount being equal to $536,250.00), on the Third Amendment Effective Date. The Commitment Fee has been fully earned and payable as of the Third Amendment Effective Date and shall not be subject to refund or rebate under any circumstances. No additional Commitment Fee shall be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

3.2.3. Agent Monitoring Fee. The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, a monitoring fee (the “Agent Monitoring Fee”) in the amount equal to $30,000 per annum, payable on the Third Amendment Effective Date and each one-year anniversary thereof until the Termination Date or prepayment, in full, of the Term Loans.

3.3. Computation of Interest, Fees, Yield Protection. All computation of 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 the Administrative Agent 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 or refund, nor subject to proration except as specifically provided herein. A certificate as to amounts payable by the Borrowers under Section 3.4, 3.7 or 5.8, submitted to the Borrowers by the Administrative Agent or the affected Lender, as applicable, shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. For the purpose of complying with the Interest Act (Canada), it is expressly stated that where interest or a fee is calculated pursuant hereto at a rate based upon a 360-day period (for the purposes of this Section, the “first rate”), the yearly rate or percentage of interest to which the first rate is equivalent is the first rate multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by 360, and the parties hereto acknowledge that there is a material distinction between the nominal and effective rates of interest and that they are capable of making the calculations necessary to compare such rates and that the calculations herein are to be made using the nominal rate method and not on any basis that gives effect to the principle of deemed reinvestment of interest.

3.4. Reimbursement Obligations. The Borrowers shall reimburse the Agents and the Lenders for all Extraordinary Expenses. Without duplication, the Borrowers shall also reimburse the Agents and the Lenders for all reasonable legal, accounting, appraisal, consulting, and other fees, costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with (a) negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of any Loan Documents, including any amendment or other modification thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated); (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 the Administrative Agent’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 Loan Party or Collateral, whether prepared by an Agent’s or any Lender’s personnel or a third party. The Borrowers shall also reimburse the Agents and the Lenders for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by them (whether during an Event of Default or otherwise) in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (including during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of the Term Loan, Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby). All amounts reimbursable

by the Borrowers under this Section 3.4 shall constitute Obligations secured by the Collateral and shall be payable within twenty Business Days after presentation by the applicable Agent or the applicable Lender to the Borrowers of a reasonably detailed itemization of such amounts.

3.5. [Reserved.]

3.6. [Reserved.]

3.7. Capital Adequacy. If a Lender determines that any introduction of or any change in a Capital Adequacy Regulation, any change in the interpretation or administration of a Capital Adequacy Regulation by a Governmental Authority charged with interpretation or administration thereof, or any compliance by such Lender or any Person controlling such Lender with a Capital Adequacy Regulation, in each case made after the date hereof, increases the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or Person (taking into consideration its capital adequacy and liquidity policies and desired return on capital) as a consequence of such Lender’s Pro Rata share of the Term Loan or other obligations under the Loan Documents, then the Borrowers shall, within ten days following demand therefor, pay such Lender an amount sufficient to compensate for such increase. A Lender’s demand for payment shall set forth the nature of the occurrence giving rise to such compensation and a calculation of the amount to be paid. In determining such amount, the Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution method.

3.8. Mitigation. Each Lender agrees that, upon becoming aware that it is subject to Section 3.7, 5.8 or 5.11, it will take reasonable measures to reduce the Borrowers’ obligations under such Sections, including by maintaining such Lender’s Pro Rata share of the Term Loan through another office or assigning its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, as long as use of such measures would not adversely affect such Lender’s Pro Rata share of the Term Loan, business or interests, and would not be inconsistent with any applicable legal or regulatory restriction.

3.9. [Reserved.]

3.10. Maximum Interest. In no event shall interest, charges or other amounts that are contracted for, charged or received by the Agents and the Lenders pursuant to any Loan Documents and that are deemed interest under Applicable Law (“interest”) exceed the highest rate permissible under Applicable Law (“maximum rate”). If, in any period, any interest rate, absent the foregoing limitation, would have exceeded the maximum rate, then the interest rate for that month shall be the maximum rate and, if in a future month, that interest rate would otherwise be less than the maximum rate, then the rate shall remain at the maximum rate until the amount of interest actually paid equals the amount of interest which would have accrued if it had not been limited by the maximum rate. If, upon payment in full, in cash, of the Obligations, the total amount of interest actually paid under the Loan Documents is less than the total amount of interest that would, but for this Section 3.10, have accrued under the Loan Documents, then the Borrowers shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, (a) the lesser of (i) the amount of interest that would have been charged if the maximum rate had been in effect at all times, or (ii) the amount of interest that would have accrued had the interest rate otherwise set forth in the Loan Documents been in effect, minus (b) the amount of interest actually paid under the Loan Documents. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any Agent or any Lender has received interest in excess of the maximum amount allowed under Applicable Law, such excess shall be deemed received on account of, and shall automatically be applied to reduce, Obligations other than interest (regardless of any erroneous application thereof by the Administrative Agent or any Lender), and upon payment in full, in cash of the Obligations, any balance shall be refunded to the Borrowers. In determining whether any excess interest has been charged or received by any Agent or any Lender, all interest at any time charged or received from the Borrowers in connection with 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. If any provision of this Agreement would oblige a Canadian Loan Party to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to the Agents and the Lenders in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by Applicable Law or would result in a receipt by the Agents and the Lenders of “interest” at a “criminal rate” (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by Applicable Law or so result in a receipt by the Agents and the Lenders of “interest” at a “criminal rate”, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary (but only to the extent necessary), as follows: (a) first, by reducing the amount or rate of interest; and (b) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, costs, expenses, premiums and other amounts required to be paid which would constitute interest for purposes of section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada). Any provision of this Agreement that would oblige a Canadian Loan Party to pay any fine, penalty or rate of interest on any arrears of principal of interest secured by a mortgage or hypothec on Real Estate that has the effect of increasing the charge on arrears beyond the rate of interest payable on principal money not in arrears shall not apply to such Canadian Loan Party, which shall be required to pay interest on money in arrears at the same rate of interest payable on principal money not in arrears.

3.11. Replacement of the Lenders. In the event that any Lender is a Defaulting Lender (each an “Affected Lender”), then the Borrower Agent may, at its option, notify the Administrative Agent and such Affected Lender of its intention to replace the Affected Lender. So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower Agent, with the consent of the Administrative Agent, may obtain, at the Borrowers’ expense, a replacement Lender (“Replacement Lender”) for the Affected Lender, which Replacement Lender must be (i) an Eligible Assignee and (ii) satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. If the Borrowers obtain a Replacement Lender within ninety (90) days following notice of their intention to do so, the Affected Lender must sell and assign its Pro Rata share of the Term Loan to such Replacement Lender for an amount equal to the principal balance of its Pro Rata share of the Term Loan held by the Affected Lender and all accrued interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of such sale; provided that the Borrowers shall have reimbursed such Affected Lender for the additional amounts or increased costs that it is entitled to receive under this Agreement through the date of such sale and assignment. Furthermore, if the Borrower Agent gives a notice of intention to replace and does not so replace such Affected Lender within ninety (90) days thereafter, the Borrowers’ rights under this paragraph as to such noticed replacement and in connection with such Affected Lender shall terminate.

3.12. Xxxx-Xxxxx Act. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and all regulations, rules, guidelines and directives promulgated thereunder and (y) all rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall, in each case, be deemed to have been adopted after the date hereof, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

SECTION 4.

LOAN ADMINISTRATION

4.1. [Reserved.]

4.2. Defaulting Lender. If a Lender fails to make any payment to the Administrative Agent that is required hereunder (a “Defaulting Lender”), the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be required to), in its discretion, retain payments that would otherwise be made to such Defaulting Lender hereunder and

apply the payments to such Lender’s defaulted obligations. The failure of any Lender to fund a portion of the Term Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder, and no Lender shall be responsible for default by another Lender. The Lenders and the Administrative Agent agree (which agreement is solely among them, and not for the benefit of or enforceable by any Borrower) that, solely for purposes of determining a Defaulting Lender’s right to vote on matters relating to the Loan Documents and to share in payments, fees and Collateral proceeds thereunder, a Defaulting Lender shall not be deemed to be a “Lender” until all its defaulted obligations have been cured.

4.3. [Reserved.]

4.4. The Borrower Agent. Each Borrower hereby designates the US Borrower (“Borrower Agent”) as its representative and agent for all purposes under the Loan Documents, including delivery or receipt of communications with the Agents or any Lender, preparation and delivery of Borrowing Base Certificates 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 the Agents or any Lender. The Borrower Agent hereby accepts such appointment. The Agents and the Lenders 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 the Borrower Agent on behalf of any Borrower. The Agents and the Lenders may give any notice or communication with a Borrower hereunder to the Borrower Agent on behalf of such Borrower. The Agents shall have the right, in its discretion, to deal exclusively with the 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 the Borrower Agent shall be binding upon and enforceable against it.

4.5. Effect of Termination. On the Termination Date, all Obligations shall be immediately due and payable. All undertakings of the Borrowers contained in the Loan Documents shall survive any termination, and the Administrative Agent shall retain its Liens in the Collateral and all of its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents until Full Payment of the Obligations (including all accrued and unpaid principal, interest and fees, and any other Obligations then due and owing, and any appropriate collateral deposits in connection therewith). Notwithstanding such Full Payment of the Obligations (including all accrued and unpaid principal, interest and fees, and any other Obligations then due and owing, and any appropriate collateral deposits in connection therewith), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to terminate its Liens in any Collateral unless, with respect to any damages the Administrative Agent may incur as a result of the dishonor or return of Payment Items applied to Obligations, the Administrative Agent receives (a) a written agreement, executed by the Borrowers and any Person whose advances are used in whole or in part to satisfy the Obligations, indemnifying the Agents and the Lenders from any such damages; (b) such Cash Collateral as the Administrative Agent, in its discretion, deems necessary to protect against any such damages; or (c) such other protections as the Administrative Agent, in its discretion, deems necessary to protect against any such damages. The provisions of Sections 3.4, 3.7, 4.5, 5.4, 5.8, 12, and 14.2, and the obligation of each Loan Party and the Lender 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 shall be made in Dollars, without condition, offset, counterclaim, recoupment or defense of any kind, free of (and without deduction for) any Taxes, and in immediately available funds, not later than 2:00 p.m. on the due date. Any payment after such time shall be deemed made on the next Business Day. The Borrowers may, at the time of

payment, specify to the Administrative Agent the Obligations to which such payment is to be applied, but the Administrative Agent shall in all events retain the right to apply such payment in such manner as the Administrative Agent, subject to the provisions hereof, may determine to be appropriate. If any payment under the Loan Documents shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, the due date shall be extended to the next Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in any computation of interest and fees. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Borrower prior to the time at which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders that such Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if a Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the federal funds rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

5.2. Repayment of Term Loan. The Term Loan and all other Obligations shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date, unless payment is sooner required hereunder pursuant to Section 11.2. The Borrower promises to pay on the Maturity Date, or on such earlier date as payment is required hereunder pursuant to Section 11.2, and there shall become absolutely due and payable on such date, the Total Outstandings, together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other fees and other amounts then accrued and outstanding with respect thereto. The Term Loan may be prepaid in accordance with Sections 2.2, 2.3, 5.1 and Section 5.5.

5.3. Payment of Other Obligations. Obligations other than the Term Loan, including Extraordinary Expenses, shall be paid by the Borrowers as provided in the Loan Documents or, if no payment date is specified, promptly upon receipt by the Borrowers of notice of the amounts due in connection therewith.

5.4. Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. None of the Agents or the Lenders shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Loan Party or against any Obligations. If any Loan Party makes a payment to the Agents or the Lenders, or if any Agent or any Lender receives payment from the proceeds of Collateral or the Montrovest LC, exercise of setoff or otherwise, and such payment is subsequently invalidated or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other Person, then the Obligations originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been received and any enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

5.5. Allocation of Payments.

5.5.1. Allocation of Payments. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (but subject to the Intercreditor Agreement), at any time after the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, all funds received by the Administrative Agent or any Lender and for which a Borrower has received credits, together with all payments to be initially applied to the Obligations, whether arising from payments by the Loan Parties, realization on Collateral or Montrovest LC, setoff or otherwise, shall be applied to the Obligations as follows:

(a) first, to all costs and expenses, including Extraordinary Expenses, owing to the Agents;

(b) second, to all Obligations constituting fees (other than the Early Termination Fee) and Extraordinary Expenses owing to the Lenders;

(d) fourth, to all Obligations constituting principal of the Tranche A Term Loan;

(e) fifth, to all Obligations constituting interest on the Tranche B Term Loan;

(f) sixth, to all Obligations constituting principal of the Tranche B Term Loan;

(g) seventh, to all Obligations constituting the Early Termination Fee; and

(h) eighth, to all other Obligations owing to the Lenders.

Amounts shall be applied to each category of Obligations set forth above until Full Payment thereof and then to the next category. If amounts are insufficient to satisfy a category, they shall be applied on a pro rata basis among the Obligations in the category. The allocations set forth in this Section 5.5.1 are solely to determine the rights and priorities of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as among themselves, and may be changed by agreement among them without the consent of any Loan Party. Any amounts applied to the categories described in clauses (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g) and (h) shall be so applied in accordance with each Lender’s Pro Rata share of the Term Loan.

5.5.2. Erroneous Application. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any application of amounts made by it in error (unless it has been determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such error was a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent) and if any such application is subsequently determined to have been made in error, the sole recourse of any Lender or other Person to which such amount should have been made (unless it has been determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such error was a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent) shall be to recover the amount from the Person that actually received it (and, if such amount was received by any Lender, such Lender hereby agrees to return it).

5.6. [Reserved.]

5.7. Loan Account; Account Stated.

5.7.1. Loan Account. The Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual and customary practices an account or accounts (“Loan Account”) evidencing the Debt of the Borrowers resulting from the Term Loan from time to time. Any failure of the Administrative Agent to record anything in the Loan Account, or any error in doing so, shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers to pay any amount owing hereunder. The Administrative Agent may maintain a single Loan Account in the name of the Borrower Agent.

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 Person, then such information shall be conclusive and binding on such Person for all purposes absent manifest error, except to the extent such Person notifies the Administrative Agent in writing within 30 days after receipt or inspection that specific information is subject to dispute.

5.8. Taxes.

5.8.1. Generally. If any Taxes (except Excluded Taxes) shall be payable by any party due to the execution, delivery, issuance or recording of any Loan Documents, or the creation or repayment of any

Obligations, the Borrowers shall pay (and shall promptly reimburse the Agents and the Lenders for their payment of) all such Taxes, including, without limitation, any interest and penalties thereon, and will indemnify and hold harmless Indemnitees against all liability in connection therewith. Without limiting the foregoing provisions, the Borrowers shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of any Other Taxes, in accordance with Applicable Law.

5.8.2. Withholding Taxes. All payments to the Agents or the Lenders (or any successor or assignee thereof) by or on account of a Loan Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any and all Taxes unless required by Applicable Law. If any Loan Party shall be required by Applicable Law to withhold or deduct any Taxes with respect to any sum payable under any Loan Documents, (a) if such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable to such Agent or such Lender shall be increased as may be necessary so that, after making all required withholding or deductions (including withholding or deduction applicable to additional amounts paid under this Section 5.8.2), such Agent or such Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deductions been made; (b) such Loan Party shall make such withholding or deductions; and (c) such Loan Party shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant taxing or other authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

5.8.3. Indemnity. Each Loan Party shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the Lenders and the Agents for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes imposed on or paid by such Lender or any such Agent and any liability (including, without limitation, penalties, interest and expenses payable or incurred in connection therewith) arising from or with respect to such Taxes, whether or not they were correctly or legally imposed or asserted. Payment under this indemnification shall be made within 10 days from the date the applicable Agent or the relevant Lender, as the case may be, makes written demand for it. A certificate containing reasonable detail as to the amount of such Taxes submitted to the relevant Loan Party by an Agent or the relevant Lender shall be conclusive evidence, absent manifest error, of the amount due from such Borrower to such Agent or such Lender, as the case may be.

5.8.4. Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by a Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, the Borrowers shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Agent and the applicable Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and such Lender.

5.8.5. Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Agent or any Lender has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Loan Parties or with respect to which a Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.8, it shall pay to such Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Loan Parties, upon the request of the Agent or such Lender, agree to repay the amount paid over to the Loan Parties (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Agent or such Lender in the event the Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.8.5, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 5.8.5 the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise with respect to such refund Tax had never

been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Loan Parties or any other Person.

5.8.6. Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 5.8 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent, the replacement of a Lender, the expiration or termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

5.9. Withholding Tax Exemption. At least five Business Days prior to the first date for payment of interest or fees hereunder to a Foreign Lender, the Foreign Lender shall, if applicable, deliver to the US Borrower and the Administrative Agent two duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI (or any subsequent replacement or substitute form therefor), as applicable, certifying that such Lender can receive payment of Obligations without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes. Each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the US Borrower and the Administrative Agent two additional copies of such form before the preceding form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the form, as well as any amendments, extensions or renewals thereof as may be reasonably requested by the US Borrower or the Administrative Agent, in each case, certifying that the Foreign Lender can receive payment of Obligations without deduction or withholding of any such taxes, unless an event (including any change in treaty or law) has occurred that renders such forms inapplicable or prevents the Foreign Lender from certifying that it can receive payments without deduction or withholding of such taxes. During any period that a Foreign Lender does not or is unable to establish that it can receive payments without deduction or withholding of such taxes, other than by reason of an event (including any change in treaty or law) that occurs after it becomes a Lender, the Administrative Agent may withhold US Taxes from payments to such Foreign Lender at the applicable statutory and treaty rates, and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any additional amounts under Section 5.8 or this Section 5.9 as a result of such withholding. Each Lender or Agent that is organized under the laws of the United States, or any state or district thereof shall provide to the US Borrower (and in the case of a Lender, to the Administrative Agent) two duly executed copies of IRS Form W-9. In the event that any Lender or any Agent does not comply with the requirements of this Section 5.9, the US Borrower may withhold taxes from payments to such Lender or such Agent as required by Applicable Law. In the event of the resignation of the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 12.8 hereunder, the successor Administrative Agent shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 5.9 in the same manner as a its predecessor Administrative Agent, and shall be required to provide the appropriate IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI to the US Borrower as required in this Section 5.9. In the event that the successor Administrative Agent does not comply with the requirements of this Section 5.9, the US Borrower may withhold US Taxes from payments to such successor Administrative Agent as required by Applicable Law.

5.10. Currency Matters. Dollars are the currency of account and payment for each and every sum at any time due from the Borrowers hereunder.

5.11. Increased Costs. If any change in law shall subject the Agent or any Lender to any Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes and Indemnified Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or the Agent of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender or the Agent of participating in, issuing or maintaining any letter of credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any letter of credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Agent hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or the Agent, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Agent, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Agent, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Loan Party authorizes and directs each bank or other depository to deliver to the Administrative Agent, on a daily basis, all balances in each Deposit Account (other than an Exempt Deposit Account) maintained by such Loan Party with such depository for application to the Obligations in accordance with Section 5.5. Each Loan Party irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as such Loan Party’s attorney-in-fact to collect such balances to the extent any such delivery is not so made.

(b) Schedule 7.2.1 sets forth the account numbers and locations of all Deposit Accounts (and related lockbox arrangements) of each Loan Party as of the Third Amendment Effective Date. Each Loan Party shall be the sole account holder of each Deposit Account and shall not allow any other Person (other than the Administrative Agent and, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, the Revolving Agent or the Canadian Revolving Agent) to have control over a Deposit Account. Contemporaneously with the delivery of quarterly financial statements, each Loan Party shall notify the Agents of any opening or closing of a Deposit Account since the last such report (or, in the case of the first such report, since the Third Amendment Effective Date) and will provide an updated Schedule 7.2.1 to reflect the same.

(c) Each Concentration Account, each Dominion Account, and each other Deposit Account into which Accounts from credit card processors are deposited, and, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the request of the Administrative Agent, any other Deposit Account (other than Exempt Deposit Accounts) shall be subject to control arrangements or lockbox or other arrangements reasonably acceptable to the Agents. None of the Agents or the Lenders assume any responsibility to any Loan Party 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.

(d) No Loan Party shall, or shall cause or permit any Subsidiary to, accumulate or maintain cash in a disbursement account or payroll account, as of any date of determination, in excess of checks outstanding against such account as of that date and amounts necessary to meet minimum balance requirements.

7.2.2. Cash Collateral. Any Cash Collateral may be invested, in the Agents’ discretion, in Cash Equivalents, but the Agents shall not have any duty to do so, regardless of any agreement, understanding or course of dealing with any Loan Party, and shall have no responsibility for any investment or loss. Each Loan Party hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a

security interest in and Lien upon all Cash Collateral held from time to time and all proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations, whether such Cash Collateral is held in the Cash Collateral Account or elsewhere. The Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral to the payment of any Obligations in accordance with Section 5.5. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Cash Collateral Account and all Cash Collateral shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent.

Schedule 7.2.3 sets forth all arrangements to which any Loan Party is a party as of the Third Amendment Effective Date with respect to the payment to any Loan Party of the proceeds of credit card charges for sales by such Loan Party. The Loan Parties shall deliver to the Administrative Agent Credit Card Agreements instructing each of their credit card processors to transfer all amounts owing by such processor to a Loan Party directly to the applicable Concentration Account or a Dominion Account, with such Credit Card Agreements to be executed by each relevant Loan Party and the applicable credit card processor. Contemporaneously with the delivery of quarterly financial statements, each Loan Party shall provide an updated Schedule 7.2.3 to reflect any additional credit card arrangements to which any Borrower or any Subsidiary is from time to time a party and shall deliver a Credit Card Agreement to the Agents upon entry into such additional credit card arrangements.

7.3. Lien on Real Estate.

7.3.1. Lien on Real Estate. The Obligations shall also be secured by Mortgages upon all Real Estate owned by the Loan Parties (if any). The Mortgages shall be duly recorded, at the Borrowers’ expense, in each office where such recording is required to constitute a fully perfected Lien on the Real Estate covered thereby. If any Loan Party acquires Real Estate hereafter, the Borrowers shall, within 30 days, execute, deliver and record a Mortgage sufficient to create a Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent (subject only to the first priority Lien in favor of the Revolving Agent or the Canadian Revolving Agent) on such Real Estate, and shall deliver all Related Real Estate Documents.

7.3.2. Collateral Assignment of Leases. To further secure the prompt payment and performance of all Obligations, each Loan Party hereby collaterally transfers and assigns to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, all of such Loan Party’s right, title and interest in, to and under all now or hereafter existing leases of real Property to which such Loan Party is a party, whether as lessor or lessee, and all extensions, renewals and modifications thereof.

7.4.1. Commercial Tort Claims. The Borrowers shall promptly notify the Agents in writing if any Loan Party has a Commercial Tort Claim and, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, shall promptly execute such documents and take such actions as the Administrative Agent deems appropriate to confer upon the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) a duly perfected Lien upon such claim (subject only to the first priority Lien of the Revolving Agent or the Canadian Revolving Agent, as applicable).

7.4.2. Certain After-Acquired Collateral. The Borrowers shall promptly notify the Agents in writing if, after the Third Amendment Effective Date, any Loan Party obtains any interest in any Collateral consisting of Deposit Accounts, Chattel Paper, Documents, Instruments, material Intellectual Property, Investment Property or Letter-of-Credit Rights and, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, shall promptly execute such documents and take such actions as the Administrative Agent deems appropriate to effect the Administrative Agent’s duly perfected Lien upon such Collateral (subject only to the Lien of the Revolving Agent or the Canadian Revolving Agent, as applicable), including obtaining any

appropriate possession, control agreement, Lien Waiver or Lien Priority Agreement. If any Collateral is in the possession of a third party, at the Administrative Agent’s request, the applicable Loan Party shall obtain an acknowledgment that such third party holds the Collateral for the benefit of the Administrative Agent.

7.5. No Assumption of Liability. The Lien on Collateral granted hereunder is given as security only and shall not subject any Agent or any Secured Party to, or in any way modify, any obligation or liability of the Loan Parties relating to any Collateral.

7.6. Further Assurances. Promptly upon request, the Loan Parties shall deliver such instruments, assignments, title certificates, or other documents or agreements, and shall take such actions, as the Administrative Agent deems appropriate under Applicable Law to evidence or perfect its Lien on any Collateral, or otherwise to give effect to the intent of this Agreement. Each Loan Party authorizes the Administrative Agent to file any financing statement that indicates the Collateral as “all assets” or “all personal property” of such Loan Party, or words to similar effect, and ratifies any action taken by the Administrative Agent before the Third Amendment Effective Date to effect or perfect its Lien on any Collateral.

7.7. Guarantees by the Borrowers.

7.7.1. Guarantees. For value received and hereby acknowledged and as an inducement to the Lenders to make the Term Loan, each Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees (i) the full punctual payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all Obligations of each other Loan Party now or hereafter existing whether for principal, interest, fees, expenses or otherwise, and (ii) the strict performance and observance by each other Loan Party of all agreements, warranties and covenants applicable to such other Loan Party in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (iii) the obligations of each other Loan Party under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (such Obligations collectively being hereafter referred to as the “Guaranteed Obligations”).

7.7.2. Guarantees Absolute. Each Borrower guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms hereof, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Lenders with respect thereto. The liability of each Borrower under its respective guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:

(a) any Loan Party’s lack of authorization, execution, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and any amendment hereof (with regard to such Guaranteed Obligations), or any other obligation, agreement or instrument relating thereto (it being agreed by each Borrower that its Guaranteed Obligations shall not be discharged prior to Full Payment of all of the Obligations) or any failure to obtain any necessary governmental consent or approvals or necessary third party consents or approvals;

(b) any Agent’s or any Lender’s exercise or enforcement of, or failure or delay in exercising or enforcing, legal proceedings to collect the Obligations or the Guaranteed Obligations or any power, right or remedy with respect to any of the Obligations or the Guaranteed Obligations, including (i) any suspension of any Agent’s or any Lender’s right to enforce any Borrower’s Guaranteed Obligations, or (ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (with regard to such Guaranteed Obligations) or any other agreement or instrument governing or evidencing any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(c) any exchange, release, unenforceability, non-opposability or non-perfection of any Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(d) any change in ownership of any Loan Party;

(e) any acceptance of any partial payment(s) from any Loan Party;

(h) any cancellation, renunciation or surrender of any pledge, guaranty or any debt instrument evidencing the Obligations or the Guaranteed Obligations;

(i) any Agent’s or any Lender’s vote, claim, distribution, election, acceptance, action or inaction in any proceeding under any Insolvency Proceeding related to the Obligations or the Guaranteed Obligations; or

(j) any other action or circumstance, other than payment, which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Borrower in respect of its Guaranteed Obligations (other than the defense of payment in full).

The guarantees contained in this Section 7.7 shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Agents or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Loan Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

7.7.3. Effectiveness; Enforcement. The guarantee of each Borrower hereunder shall be effective and shall be deemed to be made with respect to the Term Loan and the other Obligations.

Each guarantee hereunder is a continuing guarantee and shall (a) survive any termination of this Agreement, and (b) remain in full force and effect until Full Payment of the Obligations to which such guarantee relates. The guarantee of each Borrower under this Agreement is made for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders and their successors and assigns, and may be enforced from time to time as often as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of the Agents or the Lenders first to exercise any rights against any other Loan Party, or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or to elect any other remedy.

7.7.4. Waiver. Each Borrower hereby renounces to the benefits of division and discussion with respect to their respective guarantees. Each Borrower hereby waives promptness, diligence, protest, notice of protest, all suretyship defenses, notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of its Guaranteed Obligations and its guarantee and any requirement that any Agent or any Lender secure,

render enforceable or opposable, perfect or protect any security interest or Lien on any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against any other Loan Party or any other Person or any Collateral. Each Borrower also irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, all defenses which at any time may be available to it in respect of its Guaranteed Obligations by virtue of any statute of limitations, valuation, stay, moratorium law or similar law now or hereinafter in effect.

7.7.5. Subordination; Subrogation. Until the Full Payment of all of the Obligations, each Borrower agrees not to exercise, and each Borrower hereby waives, any rights against any other Loan Party as a result of payment by such Borrower hereunder, or payment under the Montrovest LC by way of subrogation, reimbursement, restitution, contribution or otherwise, and such Borrower will not prove any claim in competition with any Agent or any Lender in respect of any payment hereunder in any proceedings of any nature in any Insolvency Proceeding; no Borrower will claim any set-off, recoupment or counterclaim against any other Loan Party in respect of any liability of a Loan Party to any other Loan Party; and each Borrower waives any benefit of and any right to participate in the Montrovest LC or any Collateral which may be held by any Secured Party.

If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, any Borrower shall collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect of the Debt of any other Loan Party in violation of the foregoing sentence while any Obligations of such other Loan Party are still outstanding or while any Commitments are outstanding, such amounts shall be collected, enforced and received by such Borrower as trustee for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and be paid over to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders on account of the Obligations of such Borrower without affecting in any manner the liability of such Borrower under the other provisions hereof. The provisions of this section shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

7.7.6. Payments. Each Borrower agrees to pay its Guaranteed Obligations in the currency in which such Obligation is payable by the other Loan Parties and all payments by such Borrower hereunder shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be free and clear of and without deduction for any foreign or domestic Taxes, compulsory loans, restrictions or conditions of any nature now or hereafter imposed or levied by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof or taxing or other authority therein unless such Borrower is required by Applicable Law to make such deduction or withholding.

7.7.7. Receipt of Information. Each Borrower acknowledges and confirms that it itself has established its own adequate means of obtaining from the other Loan Parties on a continuing basis all information desired by such Borrower concerning the financial condition of the other Loan Parties and that such Borrower will look to the other Loan Parties and not to the Agents or any Lender in order to keep adequately informed of changes in the such other Loan Parties’ financial condition.

7.8. Guarantees by the Subsidiaries. The Obligations shall also be guaranteed pursuant to the terms of each other Guaranty. The obligations of the Guarantors under each Guaranty are in turn secured by a perfected security interest in and Lien upon (subject only to (i) the first priority security interest and Lien in favor of the Revolving Agent or the Canadian Revolving Agent, and (ii) Permitted Liens entitled to priority under Applicable Law) all of the assets of each such Guarantor, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Security Documents to which such Guarantor is a party.

7.9. Intercompany Debt Subordination Arrangements. Each Loan Party agrees that, after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, such Loan Party will not demand, xxx for or otherwise attempt to collect any Debt of the other Loan Party owing to such Loan Party until Full Payment of the Obligations. If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, any Loan Party

shall collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect of the Debt of the other Loan Party in violation of the foregoing sentence prior to the Full Payment of the Obligations, such amounts shall be collected, enforced and received by such Loan Party as trustee for the Lenders and the Agents and be paid over to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders and the Agents on account of the Obligations of the Loan Parties without affecting in any manner the liability of the Loan Parties under the other provisions hereof or of any other Loan Document.

Each Borrower shall deliver to the Agents, on each Business Day, a Borrowing Base Certificate setting forth, among other things, the Term Loan Borrowing Capacity and the Revolving Borrowing Capacity as at the immediately preceding Business Day; provided that the Borrowers shall only be required to report Eligible Inventory, Eligible Major Credit Card Receivables, and Eligible Private Label and Corporate Accounts (collectively, the “Borrowing Base Collateral”) weekly, such reporting to be updated not later than Wednesday of each week, and reflecting such Borrowing Base Collateral as at the end of the week most recently ended. All calculations of Revolver Excess Availability shall originally be made by the Borrowers and certified by a Senior Officer (with such certification to be in such Person’s capacity as a Senior Officer of a Loan Party and not in such Person’s individual capacity); provided that until the Full Payment (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) of the Revolving Loan Debt and the termination of the “Commitments” (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement), the Revolving Agent (subject to the limitations contained in the Intercreditor Agreement) may from time to time review and adjust (and thereafter, the Agents may review and adjust) any such calculation (a) to reflect its reasonable estimate of declines in value of any Collateral included in any of the Term Loan Borrowing Capacity due to collections received in the Concentration Accounts or to reflect any events or circumstances affecting such Collateral; (b) to adjust advance rates to reflect changes in dilution, quality, mix and other factors affecting Collateral included in any of the Term Loan Borrowing Capacity; (c) to the extent the calculation is not made in accordance with this Agreement or does not accurately reflect the Availability Reserves and (d) to address the Montrovest LC and any changes to the Montrovest LC Effective Advance Rate. Each Borrowing Base Certificate delivered by the Borrowers shall be accompanied by a certificate, in form and substance satisfactory to the Agents and certified by a Senior Officer, as to the balances of each Deposit Account.

8.2. Account Verification. Whether or not a Default or Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent shall have the right at any time, in the name of the Administrative Agent, any designee of the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any Accounts of the Loan Parties by mail, telephone or otherwise.

The Agents may participate in and observe each inventory or physical count.

8.3.2. Returns of Inventory. No Loan Party 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 or (b) no Event of Default exists or would result therefrom.

8.4. [Reserved].

8.5. General Provisions.

8.5.1. Location of Collateral. All tangible items of Collateral (other than Inventory in transit, Inventory located on the premises of a processor who executed a Lien Waiver in favor of the Administrative Agent, and certificated securities in the possession of (i) the Administrative Agent, or (ii) the Revolving Agent or the Canadian Revolving Agent, as agent for the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement), shall at all times be kept by the Loan Parties at the business locations set forth in Schedule 8.5.1, except that the Loan Parties may move Collateral to another location in the United States (or, with respect to Collateral owned by the Canadian Borrower, Canada), so long as, if such Collateral has an aggregate value of more than the Dollar Equivalent of $500,000, the Borrower Agent has (i) provided the Agents with 30 Business Days’ prior written notice thereof, and (ii) other than with respect to Collateral in which the Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent may be perfected solely by filing with the Secretary of State (or similar Governmental Authority) of the applicable Loan Party’s jurisdiction of organization or other applicable jurisdiction as required by Applicable Law and has been so perfected, delivered to the Administrative Agent evidence that all filings, recordings and registrations that are necessary or desirable to perfect the Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, have been made (it is acknowledged that so long as all filings, recordings and registrations made against the US Loan Parties that are necessary or desirable to perfect the security interest in favor of the Applicable Agent on record as of the Third Amendment Effective Date remain on record, no additional filings with the Secretary of State of the State of Incorporation of each such US Loan Party shall be required hereunder). Contemporaneously with the delivery of quarterly financial statements, each Loan Party shall provide the Agents with an updated Schedule 8.5.1 to reflect the locations of all tangible items of Collateral, other than Inventory in transit and certificated securities, which updated Schedule 8.5.1 shall clearly indicate which locations are new since the last delivery of an updated Schedule 8.5.1. The chief executive offices and other places of business of each Loan Party and Subsidiary as of the Third Amendment Effective Date are shown on Schedule 8.5.1. In the event of any change in the chief executive offices and other places of business of any Loan Party or any Subsidiary, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Agents an updated Schedule 8.5.1.

8.5.2. Insurance of Collateral; Condemnation Proceeds.

(a) Each Loan Party shall maintain insurance with respect to the Collateral, covering casualty, hazard, public liability, theft, malicious mischief, and such other risks, in such amounts, with such endorsements, and with such insurers (rated A or better by A.M. Best Rating Guide) as are reasonably satisfactory to the Agents. All proceeds of Collateral under each policy shall be payable to the Administrative Agent. From time to time upon request, the Loan Parties shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the originals or certified copies of their insurance policies and updated flood plain searches. As soon as practicable and in any event by the last day of each Fiscal Year, the Loan Parties shall deliver to the Agents a report in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agents outlining all material insurance coverage maintained as of the date of such report by the Loan Parties and all material insurance coverage planned to be maintained by the Loan Parties in the immediately succeeding Fiscal Year. Unless the Agents shall agree otherwise, each policy shall include reasonably satisfactory endorsements (i) showing the Administrative Agent as loss payee or additional insured, as appropriate; (ii) requiring 30 days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent in the event of cancellation of the policy for any reason whatsoever; and (iii) specifying that the interest of the Administrative Agent shall not be impaired or invalidated by any act or neglect of any Loan Party or the owner of the Property, nor by the occupation of the premises for purposes more hazardous than are permitted by the policy. If any Loan Party fails to provide and pay for such insurance, the Agents may, at their option, but shall not be required to, procure the insurance and charge the Loan Parties therefor. Each Loan Party agrees to deliver to the Agents, promptly as rendered, copies of all reports made to insurance companies. While no Event of Default exists, the Loan Parties may settle, adjust or compromise any insurance claim, as long as the proceeds are delivered to the Administrative Agent. If an Event of Default exists, only the Agents shall be authorized to settle, adjust and compromise such claims. Without limiting the foregoing, the Loan Parties will (a) keep all of their physical property (and the property of their Subsidiaries) insured with casualty or physical hazard insurance on an “all risks” basis, with broad form flood and, to the extent consistent with prudent business practice for the location in which such property is situated, earthquake coverages and electronic data processing coverage, with a full replacement cost endorsement and an “agreed amount” clause in an amount equal to 100% of the full replacement cost of such property, (b) maintain all such workers’ compensation or similar insurance as may be required by Applicable Law and (c) maintain, in amounts and with deductibles equal to those generally maintained by businesses engaged in similar activities in similar geographic areas, general public or civil liability insurance against claims of bodily injury, death or property damage occurring, on, in or about the properties of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries; business interruption insurance; and product liability insurance.

(b) Any proceeds of insurance (other than proceeds from workers’ compensation or D&O insurance) and any awards arising from condemnation or expropriation of any Collateral shall be paid to the Administrative Agent.

8.5.3. Protection of Collateral. All expenses of protecting, storing, warehousing, insuring, handling, maintaining and shipping any Collateral, all Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) payable with respect to any Collateral (including any sale thereof), and all other payments required to be made by the Administrative Agent to any Person to realize upon any Collateral, shall be borne and paid by the Loan Parties. The Agents 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 an Agent’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 the Loan Parties’ sole risk.

8.5.4. Defense of Title to Collateral. Each Loan Party shall at all times defend its title to Collateral and the Administrative Agent’s Liens therein against all Persons, claims and demands whatsoever, except Permitted Liens.

8.6. Power of Attorney. Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent (and all Persons designated by the Administrative Agent) as such Loan Party’s true and lawful attorney (and agent-in-fact) for the purposes provided in this Section 8.6. The Administrative Agent, or the Administrative Agent’s designee, may, without notice and in either its or a Loan Party’s name, but at the cost and expense of the Loan Parties:

(a) Endorse a Loan Party’s name on any Payment Item or other proceeds of Collateral (including proceeds of insurance) that come into the Administrative Agent’s possession or control; and

(b) During an Event of Default, (i) notify any Account Debtors of the assignment of their Accounts, demand and enforce payment of Accounts, by legal proceedings or otherwise, and generally exercise any rights and remedies with respect to Accounts; (ii) settle, adjust, modify, compromise, discharge or release any Accounts or other Collateral, or any legal proceedings brought to collect Accounts or Collateral; (iii) sell or assign any Accounts and other Collateral upon such terms, for such amounts and at such times as the Administrative Agent deems advisable; (iv) take control, in any manner, of any proceeds of Collateral; (v) prepare, file and sign a Loan Party’s name to a proof of claim or other document in a bankruptcy of an Account Debtor, or to any notice, assignment or satisfaction of Lien or similar document; (vi) receive, open and dispose of mail addressed to a Loan Party, and notify postal authorities to change the address for delivery thereof to such address as the Administrative Agent may designate; (vii) endorse any Chattel Paper, Document, Instrument, invoice, freight xxxx, xxxx of lading, or similar document or agreement relating to any Accounts, Inventory or other Collateral; (viii) use a Loan Party’s stationery and sign its name to verifications of Accounts and notices to Account Debtors; (ix) use the information recorded on or contained in any data processing equipment and computer hardware and software relating to any Collateral; (x) make and adjust claims under policies of insurance; (xi) take any action as may be necessary or appropriate to obtain payment under any letter of credit or banker’s acceptance for which a Loan Party is a beneficiary; and (xii) take all other actions as the Administrative Agent deems appropriate to fulfill any Loan Party’s obligations under the Loan Documents.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

9.1. General Representations and Warranties. To induce the Agents and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make available the Term Loan, each Loan Party represents and warrants that:

9.1.1. Organization and Qualification. Each Loan Party and Subsidiary is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing or subsisting, as applicable under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization.

9.1.2. Power and Authority. Each Loan Party is duly authorized to own and operate its properties, to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted, and to execute, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party.

9.1.4. Capital Structure. Schedule 9.1.4 shows, for each Loan Party and Subsidiary as of the Third Amendment Effective Date, its name, its jurisdiction of organization, its authorized and issued Capital Stock, the holders of its Capital Stock, whether such entity is a Loan Party and all agreements binding on such holders with respect to their Capital Stock. Each Loan Party has good title in its interest in the Capital Stock of its Subsidiaries, subject only to the Administrative Agent’s Liens and Liens in favor of the Revolving Agent or the Canadian Revolving Agent, and all such Capital Stock is duly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. Except as set forth in Schedule 9.1.4, there are no outstanding options to purchase, warrants, subscription rights, agreements to issue or sell, convertible interests, phantom rights or powers of attorney relating to any Capital Stock of any Loan Party or any Subsidiary. Each Subsidiary of a Borrower is a Guarantor.

Each Loan Party and Subsidiary has paid and discharged all lawful claims that, if unpaid, could become a Lien on its Properties, other than Permitted Liens and except for such claims as are being Properly Contested. All Liens of the Administrative Agent on the Collateral are duly perfected Liens, subject only to Permitted Liens that are expressly allowed to have priority over the Administrative Agent’s Liens.

The Borrowers do not have knowledge of any default that has occurred and is continuing under any agreement listed on Schedule 9.1.6(a) (except where the consequences, direct or indirect, of such default, if any, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect), and each such agreement constitutes the legally valid and binding obligation of each applicable Loan Party, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles.

(b) Schedule 9.1.6(b) sets forth a complete and accurate list of all Investments held by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of a Loan Party on the date hereof, showing as of the date hereof the amount, obligor or issuer and maturity, if any, thereof.

Each Loan Party and Subsidiary is Solvent. As of the Third Amendment Effective Date and except for obligations set forth on Schedule 9.1.8 or as otherwise disclosed to the Agents, neither the Loan Parties nor any of their respective Subsidiaries have any contingent liability or liability for Taxes, long-term lease or unusual forward or long-term commitment that is not reflected in financial statements referred to in this Section 9.1.8 or the notes thereto and which in any such case is material in relation to the business, operations, properties, assets, or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

9.1.15. Compliance with Environmental Laws. Except as disclosed on Schedule 9.1.15 and except to the extent any of the following could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, no Loan Party’s or Subsidiary’s past or present operations, Real Estate or other Properties are subject to any federal, state, provincial or local investigation to determine whether any remedial action is needed to address any environmental pollution, hazardous material or environmental clean-up. No Loan Party or Subsidiary has received any Environmental Notice the receipt of which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Except as shown on Schedule 9.1.17, there are no proceedings or investigations pending or, to any Loan Party’s knowledge, threatened against any Loan Party or any Subsidiary, or any of their businesses, operations, Properties, or conditions, that (a) relate to any Loan Documents or transactions contemplated thereby; (b) could reasonably be expected to result in liabilities in excess of $1,000,000 or (c) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Loan Party or Subsidiary is in default with respect to any order, injunction or judgment of any Governmental Authority that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

9.1.18. Insurance; No Casualty. The properties of each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries are insured with financially sound and reputable insurance companies that are not Affiliates of the Loan Parties, in such amounts, with such deductibles and covering such risks as are customarily carried by companies engaged in similar businesses and owning similar properties in localities where such Loan Party or the applicable Subsidiary operates. Neither the businesses nor the properties of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries are affected by any fire, explosion, accident, strike, lockout or other labor dispute, drought, storm, hail, earthquake, embargo, act of God or of the public enemy or other casualty (whether or not covered by insurance) that, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

9.1.19. No Defaults; Material Contracts. No event or circumstance has occurred or exists as of the date of this Agreement that constitutes a Default or Event of Default. Schedule 9.1.19 contains a true, correct and complete list of all Material Contracts, and except as described thereon, all such Material

Contracts are in full force and effect. No Loan Party or Subsidiary is in default, and no event or circumstance has occurred or exists that with the passage of time or giving of notice would constitute a default, under any Material Contract or in the payment of borrowed money.

9.1.20. Employee Benefit Plans; Canadian Plans.

(a) Each Employee Benefit Plan and each Guaranteed Pension Plan has been maintained and operated in compliance in all material respects with the provisions of ERISA and all Applicable Pension Legislation and, to the extent applicable, the Code, including but not limited to the provisions thereunder respecting prohibited transactions and the bonding of fiduciaries and other persons handling plan funds as required by §412 of ERISA. The Borrowers have heretofore delivered to the Agents the most recently completed annual report, Form 5500, with all required attachments, and actuarial statement required to be submitted under §103(d) of ERISA, with respect to each Guaranteed Pension Plan.

(b) No Employee Benefit Plan, which is an employee welfare benefit plan within the meaning of §3(1) or §3(2)(B) of ERISA, provides benefit coverage subsequent to termination of employment, except as required by Title I, Part 6 of ERISA or the applicable state insurance laws. The Borrowers may terminate each such Employee Benefit Plan at any time (or at any time subsequent to the expiration of any applicable bargaining agreement) in the discretion of the Borrowers without liability to any Person other than for claims arising prior to termination.

Neither the Borrowers nor any ERISA Affiliate has been notified that any Multiemployer Plan is in reorganization or insolvent under and within the meaning of §4241 or §4245 of ERISA or is at risk of entering reorganization or becoming insolvent, or that any Multiemployer Plan intends to terminate or has been terminated under §4041A of ERISA.

(j) None of the Canadian Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries are liable or, to the best of the Borrowers’ knowledge, alleged to be liable, to any employee or former employee, director or former director, officer or former officer or other Person resulting from any violation or alleged violation of any Canadian Plan, any fiduciary duty, any Applicable Law or agreement in relation to any Canadian Plan or has any unfunded pension or like obligations or solvency deficiency (including any past service or experience deficiency funding liabilities), other than accrued obligations not yet due, for which it has made full provision in its books and records.

(k) All vacation pay, bonuses, salaries and wages, to the extent accruing due, are properly reflected in the Canadian Loan Parties’ and their Subsidiaries’ books and records.

(l) Without limiting the foregoing, all of the Canadian Loan Parties’ and their Subsidiaries’ Canadian Plans are duly registered where required by, and are in compliance and good standing in all material respects under, all Applicable Laws, acts, statutes, regulations, orders, directives and agreements, including, without limitation, the ITA, the Supplemental Pension Plans Act (Quebec) and the Pension Benefits Act (Ontario), any successor legislation thereto, and other Applicable Pension Legislation of any jurisdiction.

(m) None of the Canadian Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries have made any application for a funding waiver or extension of any amortization period in respect of any Canadian Plan.

(n) There has been no prohibited transaction or violation of any fiduciary responsibilities with respect to any Canadian Plan.

(o) There are no outstanding or pending or threatened investigations, claims, suits or proceedings in respect of any Canadian Plans (including to assert rights or claims to benefits) that could give rise to a Material Adverse Effect.

(e) exercise any other rights or remedies afforded under any agreement (including, without limitation, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents), by law, at equity or otherwise, including the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC, the PPSA, the Civil Code of Québec or Applicable Law. Such rights and remedies include the rights to (i) take possession of any Collateral; (ii) require the Loan Parties to assemble Collateral, at the Borrowers’ expense, and make it available to the Administrative Agent at a place designated by the Administrative Agent; (iii) enter any premises where Collateral is located and store Collateral on such premises until sold (and if the premises are owned or

leased by a Loan Party, the Loan Parties agree not to charge for such storage); and (iv) sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral in its then condition, or after any further manufacturing or processing thereof, at public or private sale, with such notice as may be required by Applicable Law, in lots or in bulk, at such locations, all as the Administrative Agent, in its discretion, deems advisable. Each Loan Party agrees that 5 days’ notice of any proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral by the Administrative Agent shall be reasonable. The Administrative Agent shall have the right to conduct such sales on any Loan Party’s premises, without charge, and such sales may be adjourned from time to time in accordance with Applicable Law. The Administrative Agent shall have the right to sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any Collateral for cash, credit or any combination thereof, and the Administrative Agent may purchase any Collateral at public or, if permitted by law, private sale and, in lieu of actual payment of the purchase price, may set off the amount of such price against the Obligations.

11.3. License. The Administrative Agent is hereby granted an irrevocable, non-exclusive license or other right to use, license or sub-license (without payment of royalty or other compensation to any Person) any or all Intellectual Property of the Loan Parties, computer hardware and software, trade secrets, brochures, customer lists, promotional and advertising materials, labels, packaging materials and other Property, in advertising for sale, marketing, selling, collecting, completing manufacture of, or otherwise exercising any rights or remedies with respect to, any Collateral in each case after the occurrence, and during the continuance, of an Event of Default.

11.4. Setoff. The Agents, the Lenders and their Affiliates and branches are each authorized by the Loan Parties at any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, without notice to the Loan Parties or any other Person, to set off and to appropriate and apply any deposits (general or special), funds, claims, obligations, liabilities or other Debt at any time held or owing by any Agent, any Lender or any such Affiliate or branch to or for the account of any Loan Party against any Obligations, whether or not demand for payment of such Obligation has been made, any Obligations have been declared due and payable, are then due, or are contingent or unmatured, or the Collateral or any guaranty or other security for the Obligations is adequate.

11.5. Remedies Cumulative; No Waiver.

11.5.1. Cumulative Rights. All covenants, conditions, provisions, warranties, guaranties, indemnities and other undertakings of the Loan Parties contained in the Loan Documents are cumulative and not in derogation or substitution of each other. In particular, the rights and remedies of the Agents and the Lenders are cumulative, may be exercised at any time and from time to time, concurrently or in any order, and shall not be exclusive of any other rights or remedies that the Agents and the Lenders may have, whether under any agreement, by law, at equity or otherwise.

11.5.2. Waivers. The failure or delay of any party hereto to require strict performance by any other party thereto with any terms of the Loan Documents, or to exercise any rights or remedies with respect to Collateral or otherwise, shall not operate as a waiver thereof nor as establishment of a course of dealing. All rights and remedies shall continue in full force and effect until the Full Payment of all Obligations. No modification of any terms of any Loan Documents (including any waiver thereof) shall be effective, unless such modification is specifically provided in a writing directed to the Borrowers and executed by the Borrowers and the Agents or the requisite Lenders, and such modification shall be applicable only to the matter specified. No waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall constitute a waiver of any other Default or Event of Default that may exist at such time, unless expressly stated. If any Agent or any Lender accepts performance by any Loan Party under any Loan Documents in a manner other than that specified therein, or during any Default or Event of Default, or if any Agent or any Lender shall delay or exercise any right or remedy under any Loan Documents, such acceptance, delay or exercise shall not operate to waive any Default or Event of Default nor to preclude exercise of any other right or remedy.

11.6. Judgment Currency. If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court or obtaining an order enforcing a judgment, it becomes necessary to convert any amount due under this Agreement in Dollars or in any other currency (hereinafter in this Section 11.6 called the “first currency”) into any other currency (hereinafter in this Section 11.6 called the “second currency”), then the conversion shall be made at Bank of America’s spot rate of exchange for buying the first currency with the second currency prevailing at the Administrative Agent’s close of business on the Business Day next preceding the day on which the judgment is given or (as the case may be) the order is made. Any payment made to any Agent or any Lender pursuant to this Agreement in the second currency shall constitute a discharge of the obligations of the Borrowers to pay to the Agents and the Lenders any amount originally due to the Agents and the Lenders in the first currency under this Agreement only to the extent of the amount of the first currency which each Agent and each of the Lenders is able, on the date of the receipt by it of such payment in any second currency, to purchase, in accordance with such Agent’s and such Lender’s normal banking procedures, with the amount of such second currency so received. If the amount of the first currency falls short of the amount originally due to the Agents and the Lenders in the first currency under this Agreement, each of the Borrowers, with respect to itself and its Subsidiaries, agrees that it will indemnify each Agent and each of the Lenders against and save each Agent and each of the Lenders harmless from any shortfall so arising. This indemnity shall constitute an obligation of each such Borrower separate and independent from the other obligations contained in this Agreement, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order for a liquidated sum or sums in respect of amounts due to any Agent or any Lender under this Agreement or under any such judgment or order. Any such shortfall shall be deemed to constitute a loss suffered by the Agents and each such Lender, as the case may be, and the Borrowers shall not be entitled to require any proof or evidence of any actual loss. The covenant contained in this Section 11.6 shall survive the Full Payment of the Obligations.

The Administrative Agent may, and each Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent to, enter into all Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the Intercreditor Agreement) to which the Administrative Agent is intended to be a party and accept all Security Documents, for the Administrative Agent’s benefit and the benefit of the Secured Parties. Each Lender agrees that any action taken by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders of any rights or remedies set forth therein, together with all other powers reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall have the sole and exclusive authority to (a) act as the disbursing and collecting agent for the Lenders with respect to all payments and collections arising in connection with the Loan Documents; (b) execute and deliver as the Administrative Agent each Loan Document to which it is intended to be a party, including any intercreditor or subordination agreement, and accept delivery of each Loan Document from any Loan Party or other Person; (c) act as collateral agent for the Secured Parties for purposes of perfecting and administering Liens under the Loan Documents and all other matters concerning Collateral of the US Loan Parties and the Non-Canadian Loan Parties and Collateral of the Canadian Loan Parties situated in the United States, and for all other purposes stated therein; and (d) exercise all rights and remedies given to the Administrative Agent with respect to any Collateral under the Loan Documents, Applicable Law or otherwise. The duties of the Administrative Agent shall be ministerial and administrative in nature, and the Administrative Agent shall not have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender, Secured Party, Participant or other Person, by reason of any Loan Document or any transaction relating thereto.

(b) Each Lender appoints and designates Crystal as Collateral Agent hereunder. Collateral Agent may, and each Lender authorizes Collateral Agent to, enter into all Loan Documents to which Collateral Agent is intended to be a party and accept all Security Documents, for Collateral Agent’s benefit and the benefit of the Secured Parties. Each Lender agrees that any action taken by Collateral Agent in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, and the exercise by Collateral Agent of any rights or remedies set forth therein, together with all other powers reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all Lenders. The duties of Collateral Agent shall be ministerial and administrative in nature, and Collateral Agent shall not have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender, Secured Party, Participant or other Person, by reason of any Loan Document or any transaction relating thereto.

(c) For the purposes of the grant of security under the laws of the Province of Québec which may now or in the future be required to be provided by any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized and appointed to act as the holder of an irrevocable power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir) (within the meaning of Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Quebec) in order to hold any hypothec granted under the laws of the Province of Québec as security for any debenture, bond or other title of indebtedness that may be issued by any such Loan Party pursuant to a deed of hypothec and to exercise such rights and duties as are conferred upon a fondé de pouvoir under the relevant deed of hypothec and Applicable Laws (with the power to delegate any such rights or duties). Moreover, in respect of any pledge by any such Loan Party of any such debenture, bond or other title of indebtedness as security for any Obligations, the Administrative Agent shall also be authorized to hold such debenture, bond or other title of indebtedness as agent and pledgee for its own account and for the benefit of all Secured Parties, the whole notwithstanding the provisions of Section 32 of An Act respecting the Special Powers of Legal Persons (Quebec). The execution prior to the date hereof by the Administrative Agent, acting as the holder of an irrevocable power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir), of any deed of hypothec or other security documents made pursuant to the laws of the Province of Quebec, is hereby ratified and confirmed. Any person who becomes a Lender or successor Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have consented to and ratified the foregoing appointment of the Administrative Agent as fondé de pouvoir, agent and mandatary on behalf of all Secured Parties, including such person as a Secured Party. For greater certainty, the Administrative Agent, acting as the holder of an irrevocable power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir), shall have the same rights, powers, immunities, indemnities and exclusions from liability as are prescribed in favor of the Administrative Agent in this Agreement, which shall apply mutatis mutandis. In the event of the resignation and appointment of a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall also act as the holder of an irrevocable power of attorney (fondé de pouvoir). Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 14.12, this Section 12.1.1(c) shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Applicable Laws of the Province of Quebec.

(d) The relationship between the Administrative Agent and each of the other Secured Parties is that of an independent contractor. The use of the term “Administrative Agent” is for convenience only and is used to describe, as a form of convention, the independent contractual relationship between the Administrative Agent and each of the other Secured Parties. Nothing contained in this Agreement nor the other Loan Documents shall be construed to create an agency, trust or other fiduciary relationship between the Administrative Agent and any of the other Secured Parties. The relationship between Collateral Agent and each of the other Secured Parties is that of an independent contractor. The use of the term “Collateral Agent” is for convenience only and is used to describe, as a form of convention, the independent contractual relationship between Collateral Agent and each of the other Secured Parties. Nothing contained in this Agreement nor the other Loan Documents shall be construed to create an agency, trust or other fiduciary relationship between Collateral Agent and any of the other Secured Parties

(e) As an independent contractor empowered by the Secured Parties to exercise certain rights and perform certain duties and responsibilities hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, each Agent is nevertheless a “representative” of the Secured Parties, as that term is defined in Article 1 of the Uniform Commercial Code, for purposes of actions for the benefit of the Lenders and the Agents with respect to all collateral security and guaranties contemplated by the Loan Documents. Such actions include the designation of an Agent, as applicable, as “secured party”, “mortgagee” or the like on all financing statements and other documents and instruments, whether recorded, filed, registered or otherwise, relating to the attachment, perfection, enforceability, priority or enforcement of any security interests, mortgages, hypothecs or deeds of trust in collateral security intended to secure the payment or performance of any of the Obligations, all for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

12.1.2. Duties. Except as may otherwise be agreed among the Agents and the Lenders in writing from time to time, no Agent shall have any duties except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, nor be required to initiate or conduct any Enforcement Action except to the extent directed to do so by the Required Lenders while an Event of Default exists. The conferral upon any Agent of any right shall not imply a duty on such Agent’s part to exercise such right, unless instructed to do so by the Required Lenders in accordance with this Agreement.

12.1.3. Agent Professionals. Each Agent may perform its duties through agents and employees. Each Agent may consult with and employ Agent Professionals, 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 an Agent Professional. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents, employees or Agent Professionals selected by it with reasonable care.

12.1.4. Instructions of the Required Lenders. The rights and remedies conferred upon the Agents under the Loan Documents may be exercised without the necessity of joinder of any other party, unless required by Applicable Law. Each Agent may request instructions from the Required Lenders with respect to any act (including the failure to act) in connection with any Loan Documents, and may seek assurances to its satisfaction from the Lenders of their indemnification obligations under Section 12.6 against all Claims that could be incurred by such Agent in connection with any act. Each Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act until it has received such instructions or assurances, and no Agent shall incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Instructions of the Required Lenders shall be binding upon all Lenders, and no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against any Agent as a result of such Agent acting or refraining from acting in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, instructions by and consent of all Lenders shall be required in the circumstances described in Section 14.1.1, and in no event shall, and in no event shall the Required Lenders, without the prior written consent of each Lender, direct the Administrative Agent to accelerate and demand payment of any portion of the Term Loan held by one Lender without accelerating and demanding payment of the Term Loan in its entirety. In no event shall any Agent be required to take any action that, in its opinion, is contrary to Applicable Law or any Loan Documents or could subject any Agent Indemnitee to personal liability.

12.2. Agreements Regarding Collateral and Field Examination Reports.

12.2.1. Lien Releases; Care of Collateral. The Lenders authorize the Administrative Agent to release any Lien with respect to any Collateral (a) upon the occurrence of the Full Payment of the Obligations, (b) that is the subject of a disposition which is permitted under this Agreement (including under Section 10.2.13) or a Lien which is a Permitted Lien entitled to priority over the Administrative Agent’s Liens, (c) is non-material and not of the type included in the Term Loan Borrowing Capacity, or (d) with the written consent of all Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall not have any obligation whatsoever to any Lenders to assure that any Collateral exists or is owned by a Loan Party, or is cared for, protected,

insured or encumbered, nor to assure that the Administrative Agent’s Liens have been properly created, perfected or enforced, or are entitled to any particular priority, nor to exercise any duty of care with respect to any Collateral.

12.2.2. Possession of Collateral. The Agents and the Lenders appoint each Agent and each other Lender as agent for the purpose of perfecting Liens (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in any Collateral that, under the UCC, PPSA or other Applicable Law, can be perfected by possession. If any Lender obtains possession of any such Collateral, it shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof and, promptly upon the Administrative Agent’s request, deliver such Collateral to the Administrative Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s instructions or as required by the Intercreditor Agreement.

12.2.3. Reports. The Administrative Agent shall promptly, upon receipt thereof, forward to each Lender (other than Collateral Agent who shall receive such items directly from the Persons providing such reports) copies of the results of any field audit or other examination or any appraisal prepared by or on behalf of any Agent with respect to any Loan Party or Collateral (“Report”). Each Lender agrees (a) that no Agent makes any representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of any Report, and shall not be liable for any information contained in or omitted from any Report; (b) that the Reports are not intended to be comprehensive audits or examinations, and that any Agent or any other Person performing any audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding Obligations or the Collateral and will rely significantly upon the Loan Parties’ books and records as well as upon representations of the Loan Parties’ officers and employees; and (c) to keep all Reports confidential and strictly for such Lender’s internal use, and not to distribute any Report (or the contents thereof) to any Person (except to such Lender’s Participants, attorneys and accountants) or use any Report in any manner other than administration of the Term Loan and other Obligations. Each Lender agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Agent and any other Person preparing a Report from any action such Lender may take as a result of or any conclusion it may draw from any Report, as well as any Claims arising in connection with any third parties that obtain all or any part of a Report through such Lender, provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to indemnify and hold harmless such other Person preparing a Report for any claims arising that are determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such other Person preparing such Report.

12.3. Reliance by the Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any certification, notice or other communication (including those by telephone, telex, telegram, telecopy, electronic transmission or e-mail) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and upon the advice and statements of the Agent Professionals.

12.4. Action Upon Default. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless it has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower specifying the occurrence and nature thereof. If any Lender acquires knowledge of a Default or Event of Default, it shall promptly notify the Agents and the other Lenders thereof in writing. Each Lender agrees that, except as otherwise provided in any Loan Documents or with the written consent of the Agents and the Required Lenders, it will not take any Enforcement Action, accelerate its Obligations, or exercise any right that it might otherwise have under Applicable Law to credit bid at foreclosure sales, UCC sales or other similar dispositions of Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, a Lender may take action to preserve or enforce its rights against a Loan Party where a deadline or limitation period is applicable that would, absent such action, bar enforcement of Obligations held by such Lender, including the filing of proofs of claim in an Insolvency Proceeding.

12.5. Ratable Sharing. If any Lender shall obtain any payment or reduction of any Obligation, whether through set-off or otherwise, in excess of its share of such Obligation, determined on a Pro Rata basis or in accordance with Section 5.5, as applicable, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the Administrative Agent and the other applicable Lenders such participations in the affected Obligation as are necessary to cause the purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or reduction on a Pro Rata basis or in accordance with Section 5.5, as applicable. If any of such payment or reduction is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

12.6. Indemnification of the Agent Indemnitees.

12.6.1. INDEMNIFICATION. EACH LENDER SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS AGENT INDEMNITEES, TO THE EXTENT NOT REIMBURSED BY THE LOAN PARTIES (BUT WITHOUT LIMITING THE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS OF LOAN PARTIES UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS), ON A PRO RATA BASIS, AGAINST ALL CLAIMS THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY AGENT INDEMNITEE; PROVIDED THAT NO LENDER SHALL HAVE ANY OBLIGATION TO INDEMNIFY OR HOLD HARMLESS THE AGENT INDEMNITEES FOR ANY 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 ANY AGENT INDEMNITEE. If any Agent is sued by any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession or other Person for any alleged preference from a Loan Party or fraudulent transfer, then any monies paid by such Agent in settlement or satisfaction of such proceeding, together with all interest, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in the defense of same, shall be promptly reimbursed to such Agent by the Lenders to the extent of each Lender’s Pro Rata share.

12.6.2. Proceedings. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if at any time (whether prior to or after the Termination Date) any proceeding is brought against any Agent Indemnitees by a Loan Party, or any Person claiming through a Loan Party, to recover damages for any act taken or omitted by any Agent in connection with any Obligations, Collateral, Loan Documents or matters relating thereto, or otherwise to obtain any other relief of any kind on account of any transaction relating to any Loan Documents, each Lender agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent Indemnitees with respect thereto and to pay to the Agent Indemnitees such Lender’s Pro Rata share of any amount that any Agent Indemnitee is required to pay under any judgment or other order entered in such proceeding or by reason of any settlement, including all interest, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in defending same; provided that no Lender shall be liable for payment of any such amount to the extent that it is determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such judgment, order or settlement resulted from any Agent Indemnitees’ gross negligence or willful misconduct. In the Administrative Agent’s discretion, the Administrative Agent may reserve for any such proceeding, and may satisfy any judgment, order or settlement, from proceeds of Collateral prior to making any distributions of Collateral proceeds to the Lenders provided that it has not been determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such judgment, order or settlement resulted from any Agent Indemnitees’ gross negligence or willful misconduct.

12.7. Limitation on Responsibilities of the Agents. No Agent shall be liable to the Lenders for any action taken or omitted to be taken under the Loan Documents, except for losses directly and solely caused by such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. No Agent assumes any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by any Loan Party or Lender of any obligations under the Loan Documents. No Agent makes to the Lenders any express or implied warranty, representation or guarantee with respect to any Obligations, Collateral, Loan Documents or Loan Party. No Agent Indemnitee shall be responsible to the Lenders for any recitals, statements, information, representations or

warranties contained in any Loan Documents; the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of any Loan Documents; the genuineness, enforceability, collectibility, value, sufficiency, location or existence of any Collateral, or the validity, extent, perfection or priority of any Lien therein; the validity, enforceability or collectibility of any Obligations; or the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any Loan Party or Account Debtor. No Agent Indemnitee shall have any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or inquire into the existence of any Default or Event of Default, the observance or performance by any Loan Party of any terms of the Loan Documents, or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent contained in any Loan Documents.

12.8. Successor Agent.

12.8.1. Resignation; Successor Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, each Agent may resign at any time by giving at least 30 days written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrowers. Upon receipt of such notice, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, which shall be (a) a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender; or (b) a commercial bank with an office in the United States or Canada, as applicable, that, unless a Default or Event of Default exists, is reasonably acceptable to the Borrower Agent. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the applicable Agent, then such applicable Agent may appoint a successor agent from among the Lenders. Upon acceptance by a successor Agent of an appointment to serve as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, hereunder, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the powers and duties of the retiring Agent, without further act, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder but shall continue to have the benefits of the indemnification set forth in Sections 12.6 and 14.2. Notwithstanding any Agent’s resignation, the provisions of this Section 12 shall continue in effect for its benefit with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it in such capacity. Any successor by merger or acquisition of the stock or assets of Crystal shall continue to be the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent hereunder without further act on the part of the parties hereto, unless such successor resigns as provided above.

12.8.2. Separate Agent. It is the intent of the parties that there shall be no violation of any Applicable Law denying or restricting the right of financial institutions to transact business in any jurisdiction. If the Administrative Agent believes that it may be limited in the exercise of any rights or remedies under the Loan Documents due to any Applicable Law, the Administrative Agent may appoint an additional Person who is not so limited, as a separate collateral agent. If the Administrative Agent so appoints a collateral agent, each right and remedy intended to be available to the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents shall also be vested in such separate agent. Every covenant and obligation necessary to the exercise thereof by such agent shall run to and be enforceable by it as well as the Administrative Agent. The Lenders shall execute and deliver such documents as the Administrative Agent deems appropriate to vest any rights or remedies in such agent. If any collateral agent shall die or dissolve, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, then all the rights and remedies of such agent, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Administrative Agent until appointment of a new agent. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the Documentation Agent shall have no powers, rights, duties, responsibilities or liabilities with respect to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

12.9. Due Diligence and Non-Reliance. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lenders, and based upon such documents, information and analyses as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of each Loan Party and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to fund its Pro Rata share of the Term Loan. Each Lender has made such inquiries concerning the Loan Documents, the Collateral and each

Loan Party as such Lender feels necessary. Each Lender further acknowledges and agrees that the other Lenders and the Agents have made no representations or warranties concerning any Loan Party, any Collateral or the legality, validity, sufficiency or enforceability of any Loan Documents or Obligations. Each Lender will, independently and without reliance upon the other Lenders or the Agents, and based upon such financial statements, documents and information as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make and rely upon its own credit decisions in making its Pro Rata share of the Term Loan and in taking or refraining from any action under any Loan Documents. Except for notices, reports and other information expressly requested by a Lender, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any notices, reports or certificates furnished to any Agent by any Loan Party or any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition, business or Properties of any Loan Party (or any of its Affiliates) which may come into possession of any Agent or any of such Agent’s Affiliates or branches.

12.10. Replacement of Certain Lenders. In the event that any Lender (a) fails to fund its Pro Rata share of the Term Loan, and such failure is not cured within two Business Days, (b) defaults in performing any of its obligations under the Loan Documents, or (c) fails to give its consent to any amendment, waiver or action for which consent of all Lenders was required and the Required Lenders consented, then, in addition to any other rights and remedies that any Person may have, the Administrative Agent may, by notice to such Lender within 120 days after such event, require such Lender to assign all of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents to Eligible Assignee(s) specified by the Administrative Agent, pursuant to appropriate Assignment and Assumption Agreement(s) and within 20 days after the Administrative Agent’s notice. The Administrative Agent is irrevocably appointed as attorney-in-fact to execute any such Assignment and Assumption Agreement if the Lender fails to execute same. Such Lender shall be entitled to receive, in cash, concurrently with such assignment, all amounts owed to it under the Loan Documents, including all principal, interest and fees through the date of assignment (but excluding any Early Termination Fee or other prepayment charge).

12.11. Remittance of Payments and Collections.

12.11.1. Remittances Generally. All payments by any Lender to the Administrative Agent shall be made by the time and on the day set forth in this Agreement, in immediately available funds. If no time for payment is specified or if payment is due on demand by the Administrative Agent and request for payment is made by the Administrative Agent by 11:00 a.m. on a Business Day, payment shall be made by the Lender not later than 2:00 p.m. on such day, and if request is made after 11:00 a.m., then payment shall be made by 11:00 a.m. on the next Business Day. Payment by the Administrative Agent to any Lender shall be made by wire transfer, in the type of funds received by the Administrative Agent. Any such payment shall be subject to the Administrative Agent’s right of offset for any amounts due from such Lender under the Loan Documents.

12.11.2. Failure to Pay. If any Lender fails to pay any amount when due by it to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms hereof, such amount shall bear interest from the due date until paid at the rate determined by the Administrative Agent as customary in the banking industry for interbank compensation. In no event shall the Borrowers be entitled to receive credit for any interest paid by a Lender to the Administrative Agent.

12.11.3. Recovery of Payments. If the Administrative Agent pays any amount to a Lender in the expectation that a related payment will be received by the Administrative Agent from a Loan Party and such related payment is not received, then the Administrative Agent may recover such amount from each Lender that received it. If the Administrative Agent determines at any time that an amount received under any Loan Document must be returned to a Loan Party or paid to any other Person pursuant to Applicable Law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term of any Loan Document, the Administrative Agent

shall not be required to distribute such amount to any Lender. If any amounts received and applied by the Administrative Agent to any Obligations are later required to be returned by the Agent pursuant to the Applicable Law, the Lenders shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such Lender’s Pro Rata share of the amounts required to be returned.

12.12. Crystal in its Individual Capacity. As Lenders, Crystal and its Affiliates shall have the same rights and remedies under the other Loan Documents as any other Lender, and the terms “Lenders,” “Required Lenders,” or any similar term shall include Crystal and its Affiliates in their capacity as Lenders. Each of Crystal and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, maintain deposits or credit balances for, invest in, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, serve as financial or other advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Loan Parties and their Affiliates, as if Crystal and such Affiliates were any other bank, without any duty to account therefor (including any fees or other consideration received in connection therewith) to the other Lenders. In its individual capacity, each of Crystal and its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Loan Parties, their Affiliates and their Account Debtors (including information subject to confidentiality obligations), and each Lender agrees that each of Crystal and its Affiliates shall be under no obligation to provide such information to the Lenders, if acquired in such individual capacity and not as Administrative Agent hereunder.

12.13. Agent Titles. Each Lender (if any), other than Crystal, that is designated (on the cover page of this Agreement or otherwise) by Crystal as an “Agent” of any type shall not have any right, power, responsibility or duty under any Loan Documents other than those applicable to all Lenders or otherwise expressly set forth herein, and shall in no event be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any other Lender.

12.14. No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Section 12 is an agreement solely among Lenders and the Administrative Agent, and does not confer any rights or benefits upon the Loan Parties or any other Person. As between the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent, any action that the Administrative Agent may take under any Loan Documents shall be conclusively presumed to have been authorized and directed by the Lenders as herein provided.

12.15. Loan Documents; Intercreditor Agreement. Each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Third Amendment Effective Date specifying its objection thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement and agree to be bound by the provisions thereof.

SECTION 13.

BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS

13.1. Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (a) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.2, (b) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Sections 13.5 and 13.6, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 13.7 (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Sections 13.5 and 13.6 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agents and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

13.2. Assignments by Lenders. Subject to Section 13.3, any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Pro Rata share of the Term Loan at the time owing to it); provided that

(a) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Pro Rata share of the Term Loan at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the principal outstanding balance of the assigning Lender’s Pro Rata share of the Term Loan subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date set forth in the Assignment and Assumption Agreement with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than the Dollar Equivalent of $2,500,000 unless the Administrative Agent otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met;

(b) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Term Loan assigned (it being understood that non-pro rata assignments of such portion of the Term Loan are not permitted);

(c) any assignment of portion of the Term Loan must be approved by the Administrative Agent unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a Lender (whether or not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee); and

(d) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500, and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire in the Administrative Agent’s customary form; provided that if such Eligible Assignee is an Approved Fund of a Lender, no processing and recordation fee shall be required.

From and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.4, 3.7, 5.8, 5.9 and 14.2 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, the applicable Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Sections 13.5 and 13.6.

13.3. [Reserved.]

13.4. Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Lenders’ Pro Rata shares of the Term Loan owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Agents and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by each of the Borrowers at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In addition, at any time that a request for a consent for a material or substantive change to the Loan Documents is pending, any Lender may request and receive from the Administrative Agent a copy of the Register.

13.5. Participations.

(a) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or any Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of a Lender’s Pro Rata share of the Term Loan owing to it); provided that (i) each such participation shall be in an amount of not less than the Dollar Equivalent of $2,500,000, (ii) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (iii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iv) the Borrowers, the Agents and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

(b) Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification that would reduce the principal of or the interest rate on any portion of the Term Loan, extend the term or increase such Lender’s Pro Rata share of the Term Loan as it relates to such Participant, or extend any regularly scheduled payment date for principal or interest. Subject to Section 13.6, the Loan Parties agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.8 and 5.9 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 13.2. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.4 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 12.5 as though it were a Lender.

13.6. Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 5.8 or 5.9 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrowers’ prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.9 unless the US Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 5.9 as though it were a Lender.

13.7. Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Notes, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

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

13.9. Tax Treatment. If any interest in a Loan Document is transferred to a Transferee that is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or any state or district thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with the provisions of Section 5.9.

13.10. Representation of the Lenders. Each Lender represents and warrants to each Borrower, each Agent and other Lenders that none of the consideration used by it to fund its Pro Rata share of the Term Loan or to participate in any other transactions under this Agreement constitutes for any purpose of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code assets of any “plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and the interests of such Lender in and under the Loan Documents shall not constitute plan assets under ERISA.

13.11. Assignment by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall not assign or transfer any of their rights or obligations under any of the Loan Documents without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders.

13.12. Participant Register. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

SECTION 14.

MISCELLANEOUS

14.1. Consents, Amendments and Waivers.

14.1.1. Amendment. 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 the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Required Lenders, and each Loan Party party to such Loan Document; provided, however, that

(a) without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, no modification shall be effective with respect to any provision in a Loan Document that relates to any rights, duties or discretion of the Administrative Agent;

(b) [Reserved];

(c) without the prior written consent of each affected Lender, no modification shall be effective that would (i) increase such Lender’s Pro Rata share of the Term Loan; (ii) reduce the amount of, or waive, postpone or delay payment of, any principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable to such Lender (it being understood that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend the definition of “Default Rate” or waive any obligation of the Borrowers to pay interest at the Default Rate); (iii) amend the definition of Term Loan Borrowing Capacity (and the defined terms used, directly or indirectly, in such definition) or Pro Rata; or (iv) increase any advance rate (it being understood, however, that clauses (iii) and (iv) above shall not (x) limit the adjustment by the Administrative Agent of the Availability Reserve in the Administrative Agent’s administration of the Term Loan as otherwise permitted by this Agreement or (y) prevent the Administrative Agent, in its administration of the Term Loan, from restoring any component of the Term Loan Borrowing Capacity which had been lowered by the Administrative Agent back to the value of such component, as stated in this Agreement or to an intermediate value);

(d) no modification shall be effective that would change any provision of this Section 14.1 or the definition of “Required Lenders” without the written consent of each Lender; and

(e) without the prior written consent of all Lenders (except a Defaulting Lender), no modification shall be effective that would (i) extend the Maturity Date; (ii) alter Section 5.5 or Section 7; (iii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral (excluding, if any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party becomes a debtor under the federal Bankruptcy Code, the release of “cash collateral”, as defined in Section 363(a) of the federal Bankruptcy Code pursuant to a cash collateral stipulation with the debtor approved by the Required Lenders), (iv) modify or amend the Montrovest LC; or (v) release all or substantially all of the value of the Guaranties.

(f) If any amendment or modification to the Revolving Loan Documents after the Third Amendment Effective Date amends or modifies any representation and warranty, covenant (including any financial covenant) or event of default contained in the Revolving Loan Documents (or any related definitions), in each case, in a manner that is more restrictive than the applicable provisions permit as of the date thereof, or if any amendment or modification to the Revolving Loan Documents adds an additional representation and warranty, covenant or event of default therein, the Borrowers agree to amend this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to affect similar amendments or modifications with respect to this Agreement and/or such other Loan Documents (preserving any cushions that may exist with respect to financial covenants or any such applicable basket). To the extent the Borrowers don’t promptly execute and deliver an amendment hereto to give effect to the foregoing, the Borrowers shall permit the Agent and Lenders to document each such similar amendment or modification to this Agreement or such other Loan Documents or insert a corresponding new representation and warranty, covenant or event of default in this Agreement or such other Loan Documents without any need for any further action or consent by the Borrowers.

(g) Limitations. The agreement of the Loan Parties shall not be necessary to the effectiveness of any modification of a Loan Document that deals solely with the rights and duties of the Lenders and/or the Agents as among themselves. Any waiver or consent granted by the Lenders hereunder shall be effective only if in writing, and then only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it is given.

14.1.2. Payment for Consents. No Loan Party will, directly or indirectly, pay any remuneration or other thing of value, whether by way of additional interest, fee or otherwise, to any Lender (in its capacity as a Lender hereunder) as consideration for agreement by such Lender with any modification of any Loan Documents, unless such remuneration or value is concurrently paid, on the same terms, on a Pro Rata basis to all Lenders providing their consent.

14.1.3. Generally. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (ii) no Participant shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder or shall be entitled to vote on matters relating to the Loan Documents (including during any Insolvency Proceeding of any Loan Party) and shall not be deemed to be a “Lender” for any such purpose, except that the Commitment of such Person may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Person.

14.2. Indemnity. EACH LOAN PARTY SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS THE INDEMNITEES AGAINST ANY AND ALL LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, LOSSES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, JUDGMENTS, PROCEEDINGS, COSTS AND EXPENSES OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING REMEDIAL RESPONSE COSTS, REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND EXTRAORDINARY EXPENSES) AT ANY TIME (INCLUDING AFTER FULL PAYMENT OF THE OBLIGATIONS, RESIGNATION OR REPLACEMENT OF ANY AGENT, OR REPLACEMENT OF ANY LENDER) INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY INDEMNITEE IN ANY WAY RELATING TO (A) ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS OR TRANSACTIONS RELATING THERETO, (B) ANY ACTION TAKEN OR OMITTED TO BE TAKEN BY ANY INDEMNITEE IN CONNECTION WITH ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS, (C) THE EXISTENCE OR PERFECTION OF ANY LIENS, OR REALIZATION UPON ANY COLLATERAL, (D) EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHTS OR REMEDIES UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS OR APPLICABLE LAW, (E) FAILURE BY ANY LOAN PARTY TO PERFORM OR OBSERVE ANY TERMS OF ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, IN EACH CASE INCLUDING ALL COSTS AND EXPENSES RELATING TO ANY INVESTIGATION, LITIGATION, ARBITRATION OR OTHER PROCEEDING (INCLUDING AN INSOLVENCY PROCEEDING OR APPELLATE PROCEEDINGS), WHETHER OR NOT THE APPLICABLE INDEMNITEE IS A PARTY THERETO, (F) THE TERM LOAN OR THE USE OR PROPOSED USE OF THE PROCEEDS THEREFROM, (G) ANY ACTUAL OR ALLEGED ENVIRONMENTAL RELEASE ON OR FROM ANY PROPERTY OWNED OR OPERATED BY ANY BORROWER OR ANY OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES, OR ANY LIABILITY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ACTUAL OR ALLEGED VIOLATION OF ANY ENVIRONMENTAL LAW RELATED IN ANY WAY TO ANY LOAN PARTY OR ANY OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES, OR (H) ANY ACTUAL OR PROSPECTIVE CLAIM, LITIGATION, INVESTIGATION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY, WHETHER BROUGHT BY A THIRD PARTY OR BY A BORROWER OR ANY OTHER LOAN PARTY (HEREINAFTER, “CLAIMS”) THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY INDEMNITEE, INCLUDING CLAIMS 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.

14.3. Notices and Communications.

14.3.1. Notice Address. All notices, requests and other communications by or to a party hereto shall be in writing and shall be given to any Loan Party, at the 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, in the case of a Person who becomes a Lender after the Third Amendment Effective Date, at the address shown on its Assignment and Assumption Agreement), or at such other address as a party may hereafter specify by notice in accordance with this Section 14.3. Each such notice, request 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 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. Any written notice, request 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 the Borrower Agent shall be deemed received by all Loan Parties.

14.3.2. Electronic Communications; Voice Mail. Electronic mail and internet websites may be used only for routine communications, such as financial statements, Borrowing Base Certificates and other information required by Section 10.1.2, administrative matters, and distribution of Loan Documents for execution. The Agents and the Lenders make no assurances as to the privacy and security of electronic communications. Electronic and voice mail may not be used as effective notice under the Loan Documents.

14.3.3. Non-Conforming Communications. The Agents and the Lenders may rely upon any notices purportedly given by or on behalf of any Borrower 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 Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from any liabilities, losses, costs and expenses arising from any telephonic communication purportedly given by or on behalf of a Borrower.

14.4. Performance of the Borrowers’ Obligations. The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion at any time and from time to time after the occurrence, and during the continuance, of an Event of Default, at the Borrowers’ expense, pay any amount or do any act required of a Borrower under any Loan Documents or otherwise lawfully requested by the Administrative Agent 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 the Administrative Agent’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 the Administrative Agent under this Section 14.4 shall be reimbursed to the Administrative Agent by the Borrowers, on demand, with interest from the date incurred to the date of payment thereof at the Default Rate applicable to the Term Loan. Any payment made or action taken by the Administrative Agent under this Section 14.4 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.

14.5. Credit Inquiries. Each Loan Party hereby authorizes the Agents and the Lenders (but they shall have no obligation) to respond to usual and customary credit inquiries from third parties concerning any Loan Party or any Subsidiary.

14.6. 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.

14.7. Cumulative Effect; Conflict of Terms. The provisions of the Loan Documents are cumulative. The parties acknowledge that the Loan Documents may use several different limitations, tests or measurements to regulate the same or similar matters, and they agree that these are cumulative and that each must be performed as provided. Except as otherwise specifically 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.

14.8. Counterparts; Facsimile and Electronic Signatures. Any Loan Document may be executed in counterparts, each of which taken together shall constitute one instrument. Loan Documents may be executed and delivered by facsimile or electronic communication, and they shall have the same force and effect as manually signed originals. The Administrative Agent may require confirmation by a manually-signed original, but failure to request or deliver same shall not limit the effectiveness of any such facsimile signature or signature received by electronic communications.

14.9. Entire Agreement. Time is of the essence of the Loan Documents. The Loan Documents embody the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter thereof and supersede all prior understandings regarding the same subject matter.

14.10. Obligations of the Lenders. The obligations of each Lender hereunder are several, and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s obligations or Pro Rata share of the Term Loan. Amounts payable hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and each Lender shall be entitled, to the extent not otherwise restricted hereunder, to protect and enforce its rights arising out of the Loan Documents. It shall not be necessary for any Agent or any Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purposes. Nothing in this Agreement and no action of any Agent or any Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be deemed to constitute the Agents and the Lenders to be a partnership, association, joint venture or any other kind of entity, nor to constitute control of any Loan Party.

14.11. Confidentiality; Press Releases.

14.11.1. Confidentiality. The Lenders agree to maintain the confidentiality of any information that the Loan Parties deliver to the Agents and the Lenders, except that any Agent and any Lender may disclose such information (a) to their respective officers, directors, employees, Affiliates, branches and agents, including legal counsel, auditors and other professional advisors; (b) to any party to the Loan Documents from time to time (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep such information confidential); (c) pursuant to the order of any court or administrative agency; (d) upon the request of any Governmental Authority exercising regulatory authority over such Agent or such Lender; (e) which ceases to be confidential, other than by an act or omission of any Agent or any Lender, or which becomes available to any Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis; (f) to the extent reasonably required in connection with any litigation relating to any Loan Documents or transactions contemplated thereby, or otherwise as required by Applicable Law; (g) to the extent reasonably required for the exercise of any rights or remedies under the Loan Documents; (h) to any Transferee, as long as such Person agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 14.11.1; (i) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization, or to any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender; (j) to any investor or potential investor in an Approved Fund that is a Lender or Transferee, but solely for use by

such investor to evaluate an investment in such Approved Fund, or to any manager, servicer or other Person in connection with its administration of any such Approved Fund (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep such information confidential); or (k) with the consent of the Borrower Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agents and the Lenders may issue and disseminate to the public general information describing this credit facility, including the names and addresses of the Loan Parties and a general description of the Loan Parties’ businesses, and may (so long as the Borrower Agent has previously reviewed and approved the form of such advertisement or promotional materials) use the Loan Parties’ names in advertising and other promotional materials.
