Section 1.07 Interest; LIBOR Notification. The interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined by reference to the LIBOR Rate, which is derived from the London interbank offered rate. The London interbank offered rate is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. In July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that, after the end of 2021, it would no longer persuade or compel contributing banks to make rate submissions to the ICE Benchmark Administration (together with any successor to the ICE Benchmark Administrator, the “IBA”) for purposes of the IBA setting the London interbank offered rate. As a result, it is possible that, in the future, the London interbank offered rate may become unavailable or may no longer be deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on LIBOR Loans. In light of this eventuality, public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of the London interbank offered rate. In the event that the London interbank offered rate is no longer available or in certain other circumstances as set forth in Section 2.15, an alternative rate of interest may be selected and implemented in accordance with the mechanism contained in such Section. The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept responsibility for, nor shall the Administrative Agent have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to the rates in the definition of “LIBOR Rate” or with respect to any comparable or successor rate thereto or replacement rate thereof, including, without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate, as it may or may not be adjusted pursuant to Section 2.15, will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the LIBOR Rate or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.

Section 1.08 Divisions. For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with Division: (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Capital Stock at such time.

(a) Each Borrowing (other than a Swingline Borrowing which shall be made in accordance with Section 2.03, an L/C Borrowing which shall be made in accordance with Section 2.04 and an Overadvance or Protective Advance which shall be made in accordance with Section 2.02(h)), each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of LIBOR Loans shall be made upon the Lead Borrower’s irrevocable notice, to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be made in writing (or in the case of telephonic notice, promptly confirmed in writing) substantially in the form of a Committed Loan Notice appropriately completed and signed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower and received by the Administrative Agent (i) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of the proposed Borrowing, or (ii) in the case of any other Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m. three (3) Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing (or in each case, such later date or time as each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender may agree to in its sole discretion).

(b) Each Borrowing (other than an Overadvance or Protective Advance) or conversion of LIBOR Loans shall be in a principal amount of the Borrowing Minimum or a whole multiple of the Borrowing Multiple in excess thereof. Each Committed Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (A) whether the Lead Borrower is requesting a Borrowing, a conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of LIBOR Loans, (B) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (C) the Class and principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (D) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Loans are to be converted, (E) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”, and (F) the location and number of the Borrowers’ (or any Borrower’s) account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of this Section 2.02.

- 66 -

(ii) fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be made as, continued as, or converted to, ABR Loans.

For avoidance of doubt, the Borrowers and Lenders acknowledge and agree that any conversion or continuation of an existing Loan shall be deemed to be a continuation of that Loan with a converted interest rate methodology and not a new Loan. Any automatic conversion or continuation as provided above shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable LIBOR Loans.

(c) Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Class of Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Lead Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Appropriate Lender of the details of any automatic conversion or continuation described in Section 2.02(b). In the case of each Borrowing, each Appropriate Lender shall make (or cause its Applicable Lending Office to make) the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent, by transfer in immediately available funds to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders, not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction or waiver of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section 3.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrowers (or any of them) in like funds as received by transfer to the account of the Borrowers (or any of them) designated in the Committed Loan Notice the amount of such funds; provided that if, on the date the Committed Loan Notice with respect to such Borrowing is given by the Lead Borrower, there are Swingline Loans or L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing shall be applied first, to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, second, to the payment in full of any such Swingline Loans, and third, to the Borrowers as provided above.

(d) Except as otherwise provided herein, a LIBOR Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Loan unless the Borrowers pay the amount due, if any, under Section 2.17 in connection therewith. During the existence of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may require that (i) no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as LIBOR Loans and (ii) unless repaid, each LIBOR Loan be converted to an ABR Loan at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

(e) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lead Borrower and the Appropriate Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for LIBOR Loans upon determination of such interest rate. The determination of the Adjusted LIBOR Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(f) Anything in clauses (a) through (d) above to the contrary notwithstanding, after giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than ten (10) Interest Periods in effect at any time for all Borrowings of LIBOR Loans.

(g) The failure of any Appropriate Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Appropriate Lender of its obligations hereunder, provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several, and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required. All Borrowings made on the Closing Date must be made as ABR Borrowings unless the Lead Borrower shall have given a Committed Loan Notice requesting a LIBOR Borrowing and provided an indemnity letter in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent extending the benefits of Section 2.17 to the Appropriate Lenders in respect of such Borrowings.

- 67 -

(h) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent (acting in its capacity as the Swingline Lender, whether or not the Administrative Agent is otherwise the Swingline Lender) may, in its sole discretion and without any obligation to do so, make Swingline Loans to or on behalf of the Borrowers (or any of them) in Dollars from time to time through the Maturity Date (i) at the request of Lead Borrower (such Swingline Loan or Swingline Loans being herein referred to individually as an “Overadvance” and collectively, as “Overadvances”) and/or (ii) at any time if, in the case of this clause (ii), the Administrative Agent, in its Permitted Discretion, deems that such Loans are necessary or desirable (A) to protect all or any portion of the Collateral, (B) to enhance the likelihood, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans and the other Secured Obligations, or (C) to pay any other amount chargeable to the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement (such Swingline Loan or Swingline Loans being herein referred to individually as a “Protective Advance” and collectively, as “Protective Advances”), in each case of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) regardless of whether the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.02 may be satisfied with respect to such Borrowing; provided, however, that (w) the aggregate amount of Overadvances and Protective Advances outstanding at any time shall not exceed the lesser of (1) 10% of the Borrowing Base or (2) $12,500,000, (x) unless otherwise consented to by Required Lenders, and notwithstanding anything in Section 2.03 to the contrary, each Overadvance or Protective Advance shall not individually be outstanding for more than sixty (60) consecutive days, (y) unless otherwise consented to by all Lenders, no Overadvances or Protective Advances shall be permitted to the extent that Overadvances or Protective Advances would cause the Total Revolving Outstandings to exceed the Revolving Credit Maximum Amount, and (z) any Initial Lender or the Required Lenders may at any time revoke the Administrative Agent’s authority to make further Overadvances (but not Protective Advances) by written notice to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to Lead Borrower), which revocation shall become effective prospectively upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt thereof. The Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, require any permitted Overadvance or Protective Advance to be made as Revolving Loans directly by the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages. All Overadvances and Protective Advances shall be repaid on demand, shall be secured by the Collateral and shall bear interest as provided in this Agreement for Swingline Loans or Revolving Loans, as the case may be, generally. For the avoidance of doubt, each Revolving Lender shall automatically acquire a risk participation in each such Overadvance and Protective Advance that is made as a Swingline Loan to the same extent as each other Swingline Loan, and the Administrative Agent (acting in its capacity as the Swingline Lender, whether or not the Administrative Agent is otherwise the Swingline Lender) shall have the right to refinance any such Overadvance or Protective Advance (by a Revolving Borrowing or by requiring the funding of such risk participations) in accordance with Section 2.03(c).

Section 2.03 Swingline Loans.

(a) The Swingline. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth and upon the agreements of the Revolving Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03, the Swingline Lender may in its sole discretion and without any obligation to do so make Swingline Loans to the Borrowers in Dollars from time to time on any Business Day after the Closing Date through the seventh (7^th) Business Day preceding the Maturity Date; provided that after giving effect to each Swingline Loan, (i) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of Swingline Loans (other than any Overadvances and Protective Advances to the extent permitted hereunder) shall not exceed the Swingline Sublimit, (ii) the Total Revolving Outstandings (other than any Overadvances and Protective Advances to the extent permitted hereunder) shall not exceed the Line Cap, and (iii) the Total Revolving Outstandings shall not exceed the Revolving Credit Maximum Amount (except to the extent consented to by all Lenders in accordance with Section 2.02(h)); provided, further, that the Borrowers shall not use the proceeds of any Swingline Loan to refinance any outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers may borrow under this Section 2.03, prepay under Section 2.07, and reborrow under this Section 2.03.

- 68 -

(b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swingline Borrowing shall be made upon the Lead Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Swingline Lender, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swingline Lender not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day and (iii) the maturity date of the requested Swingline Loan which shall be not later than seven (7) Business Days after the making of such Swingline Loan. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or facsimile (or transmitted by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent) of a written Swingline Loan Notice to the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent, appropriately completed and signed by an Authorized Officer of the Lead Borrower. Promptly after receipt by the Swingline Lender of any telephonic, hand delivered or facsimiled (or electronically communicated, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent) Swingline Loan Notice, the Swingline Lender will, if it is willing to make the requested Swingline Loan and provided that all applicable conditions in Section 3.02 are satisfied or waived, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swingline Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swingline Loan available to the Borrowers (or any of them) by crediting the account of the Borrowers (or any of them) maintained with the Swingline Lender and notify the Administrative Agent thereof in writing.

(i) The Swingline Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrowers (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swingline Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Revolving Lender make an ABR Revolving Loan in Dollars in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount of Swingline Loans then outstanding (or any portion thereof proposed to be refinanced as an ABR Revolving Loan). Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of ABR Loans. The Swingline Lender shall furnish the Lead Borrower with a copy of such Committed Loan Notice promptly after delivery thereof to the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Lenders. Each Revolving Lender shall make an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds in Dollars for the account of the Swingline Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Payment Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.03(c)(ii), each Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made an ABR Revolving Loan to the Borrowers in such amount and the Swingline Loans shall be deemed to have been repaid in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swingline Lender.

(ii) If for any reason any Swingline Loan cannot be refinanced by a Revolving Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.03(c)(i), the request for ABR Revolving Loans submitted by the Swingline Lender as set forth therein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swingline Lender that each of the Revolving Lenders purchase for cash a risk participation in the relevant Swingline Loan in Dollars, and each Revolving Lender hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to make such purchase in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage multiplied by the amount of such Swingline Loan. Each Revolving Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

- 69 -

(iii) If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(i), the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swingline Lender at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A certificate of the Swingline Lender submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iv) Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, provided that each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans (but not to purchase and fund risk participations in Swingline Loans) pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 3.02. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrowers to repay Swingline Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after any Revolving Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swingline Loan, if the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account of such Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender will promptly distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s risk participation was funded).

(ii) If any payment received by the Swingline Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swingline Loan is required to be returned by the Swingline Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.25 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swingline Lender in its discretion), each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Swingline Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swingline Lender.

(e) Interest for Account of Swingline Lender. Until each Revolving Lender funds its ABR Revolving Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.03 to refinance such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any Swingline Loan, interest in respect of such Applicable Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Swingline Lender.

(f) Payments Directly to Swingline Lender. The Borrowers shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swingline Loans directly to the Swingline Lender and the Swingline Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof.

(ii) Each L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit (and, in the case of clauses (B), (C) or (D) below, shall not issue any Letter of Credit) if:

(A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to such L/C Issuer or any directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such L/C Issuer shall prohibit, or direct that such L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the date of this Agreement, or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the date of this Agreement (for which such L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder);

(E) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such L/C Issuer applicable to letters of credit or any laws binding upon such L/C Issuer;

(F) the Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars;

(G) any Revolving Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless such L/C Issuer has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to such L/C Issuer (in its sole discretion) with the Borrowers or such Defaulting Lender to eliminate such L/C Issuer’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.11(a)(iv)) with respect to such Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or such Letter of Credit and all other L/C Obligations as to which such L/C Issuer has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion; or

- 71 -

(H) the Letter of Credit is in an initial amount less than $25,000 (or such lesser amount as agreed to by such L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent).

(iii) No L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) such L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Renewal Letters of Credit.

(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Lead Borrower hand delivered or sent by facsimile (or transmitted by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable L/C Issuer) to the applicable L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by an Authorized Officer of the Lead Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. at least three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be; or, in each case, such later date and time as the applicable L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day), (B) the amount thereof, (C) the expiry date thereof, (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof, (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder, (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder, and (G) such other matters as the applicable L/C Issuer may reasonably request. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer (1) the Letter of Credit to be amended, (2) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day), (3) the nature of the proposed amendment, and (4) such other matters as the applicable L/C Issuer may reasonably request.

(ii) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the applicable L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrowers or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, acquire from the applicable L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire risk participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments.

- 72 -

(iii) If the Lead Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the applicable L/C Issuer shall agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions (each, an “Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit must permit the applicable L/C Issuer to prevent any such renewal at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Nonrenewal Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the applicable L/C Issuer, the Borrowers shall not be required to make a specific request to such L/C Issuer for any such renewal. Once an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit has been issued, the Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable L/C Issuer to permit the renewal of such Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit from time to time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided that such L/C Issuer shall not permit any such renewal if (A) such L/C Issuer has determined that it would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 2.04(a)(ii) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone, followed promptly in writing, or in writing) on or before the day that is five (5) Business Days before the applicable Nonrenewal Notice Date from the Administrative Agent or any Revolving Lender, as applicable, or the Lead Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 3.02 is not then satisfied.

(iv) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the applicable L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall notify promptly the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. On the Business Day on which the Lead Borrower shall have received notice of any payment by the applicable L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit or, if the Lead Borrower shall have received such notice later than 12:00 p.m. on any Business Day, on the succeeding Business Day (such applicable Business Day, the “L/C Honor Date”), the Borrowers shall (regardless of whether or not such Letter of Credit shall be for the sole account of a Borrower or for the joint account of more than one of the Borrowers or the Subsidiaries of the Borrowers) reimburse such L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to such drawing in Dollars. If the Borrowers fail to so reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer on the L/C Honor Date (or if any such reimbursement payment is required to be refunded to any Borrower for any reason), then (x) the Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of ABR Revolving Loans in the amount of the unreimbursed portion of such drawing, and (y) the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of the L/C Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Any notice given by any L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.04(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice. For the avoidance of doubt, if any drawing occurs under a Letter of Credit and such drawing is not reimbursed on the same day, the Unreimbursed Amount of such drawing shall, without duplication, accrue interest for each day until the date of reimbursement at (x) prior to the third (3^rd) Business Day following the L/C Honor Date, the rate per annum applicable to the outstanding principal balance of ABR Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.13(a), and (y) thereafter, a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate applicable to the outstanding principal balance of ABR Revolving Loans.

(ii) Each Revolving Lender (including the Revolving Lender acting as the applicable L/C Issuer) shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Payment Office in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of any Unreimbursed Amount in respect of a Letter of Credit in Dollars not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the applicable L/C Issuer, and may apply Cash Collateral provided for this purpose to such Unreimbursed Amount.

- 73 -

(iii) Each Revolving Lender that makes funds available pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(ii) shall be deemed to have made an ABR Revolving Loan in Dollars to the Borrowers in such amount, provided that in the event the conditions for Revolving Borrowings set forth in Section 3.02 cannot be satisfied (and have not been waived) (provided, that the Lead Borrower shall not be required to deliver a Committed Loan Notice), then (A) the Borrowers shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in Dollars in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate, and (B) such Lender shall be deemed to have purchased a participation in such L/C Borrowing in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage thereof (a “L/C Advance”).

(iv) Until each Revolving Lender funds its Revolving Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer.

(v) Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.04(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance; provided that each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans (but not L/C Advances) pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 (other than delivery by the Lead Borrower of a Committed Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the applicable L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, together with interest as provided herein.

(vi) If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(ii), such L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such L/C Issuer at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by such L/C Issuer in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A certificate of the applicable L/C Issuer submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.04(c)(vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(vii) If, at any time after the applicable L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Revolving Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with this Section 2.04(c), the Administrative Agent receives for the account of such Lender any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrowers or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

- 74 -

(viii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.25, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

(d) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit issued by it and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that any Loan Party may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), such L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

(iv) any payment by the applicable L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or any payment made by the applicable L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with (x) any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or (y) any Bail-In Action;

(v) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from the Guaranty or any other guarantee, for all or any of the Secured Obligations of any Loan Party in respect of such Letter of Credit; or

(vi) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party;

provided that the foregoing shall not excuse the applicable L/C Issuer from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrowers that are caused by such L/C Issuer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof.

- 75 -

(e) Role of L/C Issuer. The Lenders and the Borrowers agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the applicable L/C Issuer, any of its Related Parties nor any of the correspondents, participants or assignees of such L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Required Lenders, (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Application. Each Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude such Borrower from pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law, in equity, or under any other agreement.

In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the applicable L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the applicable L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

(f) Conflict with Letter of Credit Application. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in any Letter of Credit Document (including any Letter of Credit Application), in the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any such Letter of Credit Document, the terms hereof shall control, provided that all non-conflicting terms of any such Letter of Credit Document shall remain in full force and effect.

(g) Applicability of ISP and UCP; Limitation of Liability.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the applicable L/C Issuer shall not be responsible to any Loan Party for, and the applicable L/C Issuer’s rights and remedies against any such Loan Party shall not be impaired by, any action or inaction of such L/C Issuer required or permitted under any law, order, or practice that is required or permitted to be applied to any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, including the law or any order of a jurisdiction where such L/C Issuer or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP or UCP, as applicable, or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements, or official commentary of the ICC Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade - International Financial Services Association (BAFT-IFSA), or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter of Credit chooses such law or practice.

(h) Addition of L/C Issuer. A Revolving Lender acceptable to the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent may become an additional L/C Issuer hereunder pursuant to a written agreement among the Lead Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Lender.

(i) Existing Letter of Credit.

Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Lead Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.05 shall be irrevocable, provided that a notice of termination of such Commitments may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of any other transaction, in which case such notice may be revoked or the effective date of the termination or reduction of the Commitments specified in such notice may be delayed by the Lead Borrower (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied, subject to the Borrowers’ obligation to indemnify the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.17. Each reduction, and any termination, of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be made ratably among the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments.

In addition, if requested by a Lender, its Note may be made payable to such Lender and its registered assigns in which case all Loans evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 10.06) be represented by one or more Notes in like form payable to the order of the payee named therein and its registered assigns.

(c) Lender Records. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan owing to such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(d) Register. Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to Section 10.06, and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to Section 2.06(c), shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement.

Section 2.07 Voluntary Prepayments.

(a) The Borrowers may, upon written notice from the Lead Borrower to the Administrative Agent, at any time and from time to time, voluntarily prepay any Borrowing of any Class (other than Swingline Loans, the prepayment of which is governed by clause (b) of this Section 2.07) in whole or in part without premium or penalty (except as set forth in Section 2.17)), provided that such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (1) three (3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of a LIBOR Borrowing and (2) on the date of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing (or in each case, on such later date or time as each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender may agree to in its sole discretion). Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Class(es) and Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Lead Borrower, the Borrowers shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, provided that a notice of prepayment may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of any other transaction, in which case such notice may be revoked or the effective date of the prepayment date specified in such notice may be delayed by the Lead Borrower (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied subject to the Borrowers’ obligation to indemnify the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.17.

No later than the fifth Business Day following the date of receipt by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, or the Administrative Agent as loss payee, of any Net Proceeds from insurance or any condemnation, taking, or other casualty (other than any Net Proceeds that constitute Term Priority Collateral to the extent such Net Proceeds are required to be applied, and are actually applied, to prepay the Term Obligations pursuant to the Term Credit Agreement), the Borrowers shall prepay the Obligations as set forth in Section 2.08(h) in an aggregate amount equal to such Net Proceeds; provided, that (i) so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) Lead Borrower has delivered Administrative Agent prior written notice of Lead Borrower’s intention to apply the Reinvestment Amounts to the costs of replacement of the properties or assets that are the subject of such condemnation, taking, or other casualty or the cost of purchase or construction of other assets useful in the business of the Loan Parties or their Subsidiaries reinvested within twelve (12) months (or within 18 (eighteen) months following receipt thereof if a contractual commitment to reinvest is entered into within twelve (12) months following receipt thereof) following the date of the receipt of such Net Proceeds, (iii) the monies are held in a Deposit Account in which Administrative Agent has a perfected First Priority security interest, and (iv) the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries complete such replacement, purchase, or construction within twelve (12) months after the initial receipt of such monies (or within eighteen (18) months following receipt thereof if a contractual commitment to reinvest is entered into within twelve (12) months following receipt thereof), the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries shall have the option to apply such monies, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $2,500,000 in any Fiscal Year, to the costs of replacement of the assets that are the subject of such condemnation, taking, or other casualty or the costs of purchase or construction of other assets useful in the business of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries unless and to the extent that such applicable period shall have expired without such replacement, purchase, or construction being made or completed, in which case, any amounts remaining in the cash collateral account shall be paid to Administrative Agent and applied in accordance with Section 2.08(h).

(f) Excluded Entity Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, mandatory prepayments from Excluded Entities’ Net Proceeds or Extraordinary Receipts shall not be required to the extent the loan documentation governing Indebtedness for borrowed money of such Excluded Entities restricts either the prepayment of the Obligations with such Net Proceeds or Extraordinary Receipts or the distribution or transfer of such Net Proceeds or Extraordinary Receipts to Loan Parties to enable the Loan Parties to prepay the Obligations, and any such restriction was not entered into in contemplation of the relevant transaction.

(g) Notice of Mandatory Prepayments; Prepayment Certificate. Lead Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, at the time of each prepayment required under Sections 2.08(a) through 2.08(e) (or, to the extent practicable, at least two (2) Business Days in advance of such prepayment), a certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Lead Borrower demonstrating the calculation of the amount of the applicable net proceeds and the prepayment to be made with respect thereto.

Section 2.09 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

(a) General. Each Loan Party shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal of Loans, L/C Borrowings, interest or fees, or of amounts payable under Sections 2.16, 2.17, 2.18, 10.02 or 10.03, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon on the date when due, in immediately available funds. In furtherance of the foregoing, during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, to request on behalf of the Borrowers (or any of them), Revolving Loans (which shall be ABR Loans) or Swingline Loans, in an amount sufficient to pay all principal, L/C Borrowings, interest, fees, or other amounts from time to time due and payable by any Loan Party to any Credit Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document that are not paid when due (after giving effect to any grace and cure periods). All payments to be made by a Loan Party hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff, without setoff or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent’s Payment Office, except payments to be made to any L/C Issuer or the Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.16, 2.17, 2.18, 10.02 or 10.03, shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto (except as otherwise set forth in such Sections). The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension.

(b) Pro Rata Treatment. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.09 and as otherwise required under Section 2.16(e), each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Loans, each payment of fees, each reduction of the Commitments and each conversion of any Borrowing to or continuation of any Borrowing as a Borrowing of any Type shall be allocated pro rata among the Appropriate Lenders in accordance with their respective applicable Commitments (or, if such Commitments shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Loans of the applicable Class). Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole Dollar amount.

- 81 -

(i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender (x) in the case of ABR Borrowings, two hours prior to the proposed time of such Borrowing and (y) otherwise, prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the Appropriate Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If the Borrowers and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrowers the amount of such interest paid by the Borrowers for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrowers may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(ii) Payments by Borrowers; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Lead Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or any L/C Issuer hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such L/C Issuer, 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 Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(iii) Notice by Administrative Agent. A notice from the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Lead Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this paragraph (c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(d) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and purchase participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.03(b) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or purchase participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans or make any payment under Section 10.03(b) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, purchase its participation in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans or to make its payment under Section 10.03(b).

- 82 -

(e) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrowers by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the borrowing of Loans set forth in Article III are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(f) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

(g) Insufficient Payment. Subject to the provisions of Article VIII, whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is insufficient to pay in full all amounts due and payable to the Credit Parties under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on any date, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the Administrative Agent (i) first, towards payment of all fees and expenses due to the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, (ii) second, towards payment of all expenses then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance herewith, (iii) third, towards payment of interest, fees and commissions then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest, fees and commissions then due to such parties, and (iv) fourth, towards payment of principal of Loans and unreimbursed L/C Borrowings then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal of Loans and unreimbursed L/C Borrowings then due to such parties.

(h) Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then such Lender shall (x) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (y) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them; provided that:

(i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in L/C Disbursements to any assignee or participant.

Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

- 83 -

Section 2.10 Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders.

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.04 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any L/C Issuer or the Swingline Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize each L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.11; fourth, as the Lead Borrower may request (so long as no Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize each L/C Issuer’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.11; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the L/C Issuers or the Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, any L/C Issuer or the Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers (or any of them) as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers (or any of them) against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Borrowings owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Borrowings owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the applicable Commitments without giving effect to Section 2.10(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.10(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees.

(A) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

- 84 -

(B) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive L/C Participation Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Applicable Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.11.

(C) With respect to any L/C Participation Fees not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, the Borrowers shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations or Swingline Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to any L/C Issuer and the Swingline Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such L/C Issuer’s or the Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(iv) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. If any L/C Obligations or Swingline Loans are outstanding at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then all or any part of the Swingline Exposure and L/C Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment. Subject to Section 10.21, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(v) Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swingline Loans. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (x) first, prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize each L/C Issuer’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.11.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Lead Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and each L/C Issuer agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments under the Credit Facility (without giving effect to Section 2.10(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

- 85 -

(c) New Swingline Loans/Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swingline Loan and (ii) no L/C Issuer shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

Section 2.11 Cash Collateral.

(a) Certain Credit Support Events. The Borrowers shall provide Cash Collateral to any applicable L/C Issuer:

(i) if such L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, within two (2) Business Days following any request by the Administrative Agent or such L/C Issuer, in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount of such L/C Borrowing,

(ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, immediately (without the necessity of any request), in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount of such L/C Obligation,

(iii) if the Borrowers shall be required to provide Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 8.01, immediately upon any request by the Administrative Agent or such L/C Issuer, in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount of all L/C Obligations, and

(iv) if there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within two (2) Business Days following any request by the Administrative Agent or such L/C Issuer, in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount of the Fronting Exposure of such L/C Issuer with respect to such Defaulting Lender.

(b) Grant of Security Interest. As security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.11(c), (i) the Borrowers, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grant to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders, and agrees to maintain, a First Priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, and (ii) to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders, and agrees to maintain, a First Priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing. Borrower shall enter into documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent as may be requested in connection with the above described grant of security. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuers as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrowers will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked deposit accounts (which shall not be required to be interest-bearing) at Citizens Bank. The Borrowers shall pay on demand therefor from time to time all customary account opening, activity and other administrative fees and charges in connection with the maintenance and disbursement of Cash Collateral.

- 86 -

(c) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.11 or Sections 2.04, 2.08 or 8.01 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Lender that is a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

(d) Termination of Requirement. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or to secure other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 10.06(c)(vii))) or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to this Section 2.11, the Person providing Cash Collateral and such L/C Issuer may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations and provided further that to the extent that such Cash Collateral was provided by the Borrowers, such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.

Section 2.12 Incremental Commitments.

(a) The Borrowers may, from time to time, request additional Revolving Commitments (collectively, “Incremental Commitments”) from the Lenders (in the sole discretion of such Lenders) or, if such Lenders have declined to issue the full amount of the requested Incremental Commitments pursuant to the provisions set forth in this clause (a), one or more Eligible Assignees who will become Lenders, in an aggregate principal amount of up to $30,000,000 provided that at the time of the incurrence of such Incremental Commitments and immediately after giving effect thereto and to the use of the proceeds thereof, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom; provided, further, that (1) each such person, if not already a Lender hereunder, shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Swingline Lender (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and (2) during the term of this Agreement, Incremental Commitments shall only be provided on two (2) occasions. To request Incremental Commitments, the Lead Borrower shall first submit a notice to the Administrative Agent (to be promptly distributed by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders) setting forth (i) the amount of the Incremental Commitments being requested (which shall be in minimum increments of $2,500,000 and a minimum amount of $10,000,000), and (ii) the date on which such Incremental Commitments are requested to become effective (which shall not be less than ten (10) Business Days nor more than sixty (60) calendar days after the date of such notice, unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent). Each Lender shall have ten (10) Business Days to notify the Administrative Agent of up to what amount (if any) of Incremental Commitments it would be willing to provide (including any amounts it would be willing to provide above the portion of the Incremental Commitments that is proportional to its Applicable Percentage of the Revolving Commitments) (provided, that any Lender may elect to provide such Incremental Commitments through one or more Affiliates and Approved Funds of such Lender, subject to, if such Affiliates or Approved Funds are not already Lenders hereunder, the approval of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Swingline Lender (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed)) (provided, further, that a failure by a Lender to provide such a notice to the Administrative Agent within such ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed to mean that such Lender does not agree to provide Incremental Commitments). Promptly (and in any event within one (1) Business Day) after such ten (10) Business Day period (or earlier, in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, if responses from all Lenders have been received by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lead Borrower of the aggregate amount of Incremental Commitments that the Lenders have agreed to provide (capped at the maximum amount of Incremental Commitments requested by the Lead Borrower). If there is any shortfall between the amount of Incremental Commitments requested by the Lead Borrower and the aggregate amount of Incremental Commitments the Lenders agreed to provide, the Lead Borrower may (x) reduce the amount of Incremental Commitments requested by it by notice to the Administrative Agent (subject to the minimum amount and minimum increments set forth above) and/or (y) after allocating additional Incremental Commitments to those Lenders who have offered to provide such additional amounts pursuant to the preceding sentence, seek out one or more Eligible Assignees (or one or more existing Lenders) to provide the shortfall amount of such Incremental Commitments and notify the Administrative Agent thereof (provided, that the approval of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Swingline Lender (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) shall be required with respect to such Eligible Assignees that are not existing Lenders) (provided, further, that the Lead Borrower may, by notice to the Administrative Agent, extend the proposed effective date for such Incremental Commitments as may be reasonably appropriate to accommodate the Lead Borrower’s search for, and the Administrative Agent’s, L/C Issuers’ and Swingline Lender’s approval of, providers of the Incremental Commitments). To the extent that more than one Lender has agreed to provide Incremental Commitments and the aggregate Incremental Commitments such Lenders have agreed to provide exceeds the amount of Incremental Commitments requested by the Lead Borrower, each such Lender shall provide Incremental Commitments in proportion to its Applicable Percentage relative to the Applicable Percentages of all such Lenders that have agreed to provide Incremental Commitments; provided, that if any Lender has not agreed to provide Incremental Commitments in an amount at least equal to such pro rata share (“underproviding lender”), the other Lenders agreeing to provide Incremental Commitments in an amount in excess of their respective Applicable Percentages (“overproviding lenders”) shall provide the Incremental Commitments that would otherwise be provided by the underproviding lender in proportion to their respective Applicable Percentages relative to the Applicable Percentages of all overproviding lenders.

- 87 -

(b) The Administrative Agent, the Borrowers and each Lender or other Person providing an Incremental Commitment shall enter into an Incremental Assumption Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Incremental Commitments, in each case on terms and conditions consistent with this Section 2.12. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental Assumption Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Assumption Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed amended, without requiring the consent of any Person other than the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers and each Lender or other Person providing an Incremental Commitment pursuant to such Incremental Assumption Agreement, to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Commitments evidenced thereby. Any such deemed amendment may be memorialized in writing by the Administrative Agent with the Lead Borrower’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and furnished to the other parties hereto.

(c) The terms of each Incremental Commitment shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and in all events:

(i) any Revolving Loans under any Incremental Commitments shall rank pari passu in right of payment and of security with the existing Revolving Loans; and

(ii) all material terms of any Incremental Commitments and Revolving Loans under such Incremental Commitments shall be identical to the existing Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans.

- 88 -

(d) No Incremental Commitments shall become effective under this Section 2.12 unless, on the date of such effectiveness, (i) the conditions set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of Section 3.02 shall be satisfied as if it was a borrowing date and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by an Authorized Officer of the Lead Borrower; and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received closing certificates, opinions of counsel and other customary documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent.

(e) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that, following the establishment of any Incremental Commitments, the outstanding Revolving Loans are held by the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their new Applicable Percentages. This may be accomplished at the discretion of the Administrative Agent by requiring each outstanding LIBOR Revolving Borrowing to be converted into an ABR Borrowing on the date of each Incremental Commitment, or requiring a prepayment and reborrowing of Revolving Loans. Any conversion or prepayment made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be subject to Section 2.17 (it being understood that, the Administrative Agent shall consult with the Lead Borrower regarding the foregoing and, to the extent practicable, will attempt to pursue options that minimize breakage costs).

Section 2.13 Interest.

(a) Interest Rate Generally. All ABR Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. Each LIBOR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Loan plus the Applicable Margin. Each Swingline Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) Default Rate.

(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan, any reimbursement obligation in respect of any L/C Disbursement or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrowers hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, upon the direction of the Required Lenders or any Initial Lender, so notifies the Lead Borrower (provided that no such notification shall be required, and the following interest shall automatically be payable, in the case of an Event of Default under Sections 8.01(a), (f) or (g)) then, so long as such Event of Default is continuing, all outstanding principal of each Loan and all Unreimbursed Amounts in respect of L/C Disbursements (including L/C Borrowings) shall, without duplication of amounts payable under clause (i) above, bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

(iii) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

(c) Interest Payment Dates. Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and at such other times as may be specified herein, provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 2.13 shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment, and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any LIBOR Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

- 89 -

(d) Computation of Interest. All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBOR Rate, Daily LIBOR Rate and LIBOR Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 2.14 Fees.

(a) Commitment Fees. The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Revolving Lender, a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the Commitment Fee Margin on the average daily unused amount of the Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the date on which this Agreement becomes effective pursuant to Section 10.20 to but excluding the date on which such Revolving Commitment terminates. For purposes of computing Commitment Fees only, (x) the Revolving Commitment of any Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the aggregate principal amount at such time of its outstanding Revolving Loans and such Lender’s L/C Exposure and (y) Swingline Loans will not be deemed to be a utilization of the Revolving Facility. Accrued Commitment Fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and each date on which any Commitments are permanently reduced or terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date. All Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(b) L/C Fees. The Borrowers agree to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Revolving Lenders, a fee (the “L/C Participation Fee”) in Dollars for each Letter of Credit, at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin multiplied by the average daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, and (ii) to each applicable L/C Issuer for its own account a fee (the “L/C Fronting Fee”), which shall accrue at the rate or rates per annum separately agreed upon between the Borrowers and such L/C Issuer on the average daily amount of the L/C Obligations attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed L/C Disbursements) during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any L/C Obligations, as well as such L/C Issuer’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Accrued L/C Participation Fees and L/C Fronting Fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to any L/C Issuer pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within ten (10) days after demand. All L/C Participation Fees and L/C Fronting Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, upon the direction of the Required Lenders or any Initial Lender, so notifies the Lead Borrower (provided that no such notification shall be required, and the following interest shall automatically be payable, in the case of an Event of Default under Sections 8.01(a), (f) or (g)) then, so long as such Event of Default is continuing, past due L/C Participation Fees and L/C Fronting Fees, as applicable, shall accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate.

- 90 -

(c) Other Fees. The Borrowers agree to pay to each Credit Party, for its own account, fees and other amounts payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrowers and such Credit Party.

(d) Payment of Fees Generally. Subject to Section 2.09(a), all fees and other amounts payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds. Fees and other amounts paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

Section 2.15 Alternate Rate of Interest.

(a) Temporary Unavailability of LIBOR Rate. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a LIBOR Borrowing:

(i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBOR Rate or the LIBOR Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or

(ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBOR Rate or the LIBOR Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lead Borrower and the Lenders (or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be) as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Lead Borrower and the Lenders (or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be) that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (x) any Committed Loan Notice that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a LIBOR Borrowing shall be ineffective, and (y) if any Request for Credit Extension requests a LIBOR Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing (determined without reference to the component of the Alternate Base Rate that is based on the Daily LIBOR Rate).

(b) Successor LIBOR Rate.

(i) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and Lead Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the LIBOR Rate with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and Lead Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders. Any such amendment with respect to an Early Opt-in Election will become effective on the date that Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders accept such amendment. No replacement of the LIBOR Rate with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 2.15(b) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

(ii) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.

- 91 -

(iii) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify Lead Borrower and the Lenders of (A) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date and Benchmark Transition Start Date, (B) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (C) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (D) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period, provided that the failure to give such notice under this clause (D) shall not affect the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.15(b), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.15(b).

(iv) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon Lead Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, Lead Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Loans to be made, converted or continued during such Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, Lead Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period, (A) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Loans shall be suspended, (B) any request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Loans shall be ineffective and will be deemed to have been a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans, and (C) the component of the Alternate Base Rate based upon the Daily LIBOR Rate will not be used in any determination of the Alternate Base Rate.

Section 2.16 Increased Costs; Illegality.

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBOR Rate) or any L/C Issuer;

(ii) subject any Credit Party to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (ii) through (iv) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii) impose on any Lender or any L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Credit Party 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, such L/C Issuer or such other Credit Party 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, L/C Issuer or other Credit Party hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, L/C Issuer or other Credit Party, the Borrowers will pay to such Lender, L/C Issuer or other Credit Party, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, L/C Issuer or other Credit Party, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

- 92 -

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or L/C Issuer or any Applicable Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or L/C Issuer setting forth in reasonable detail a calculation of the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.16 and delivered to the Lead Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or L/C Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.16 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six months prior to the date that such Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Lead Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(e) Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if, after the date of this Agreement, any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any LIBOR Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any LIBOR Loan, then, by written notice to the Lead Borrower and to the Administrative Agent:

(i) such Lender may declare that LIBOR Loans will not thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness) be made by such Lender hereunder (or be continued for additional Interest Periods) and ABR Loans will not thereafter (for such duration) be converted into LIBOR Loans, whereupon any request for a LIBOR Borrowing or to convert an ABR Borrowing to a LIBOR Borrowing or to continue a LIBOR Borrowing, as applicable, for an additional Interest Period shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan (or a request to continue an ABR Loan as such for an additional Interest Period or to convert a LIBOR Loan into an ABR Loan, as applicable), unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn, and any Borrowing Minimums or Borrowing Multiples for a LIBOR Loan that would be impacted by the foregoing shall be disregarded; and

- 93 -

(ii) such Lender may require that all outstanding LIBOR Loans made by it be converted to ABR Loans, in which event all such LIBOR Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans, as of the effective date of such notice as provided in the last sentence of this paragraph.

In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under clause (i) or (ii) of this paragraph, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been applied to repay the LIBOR Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted LIBOR Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such LIBOR Loans, as applicable. For purposes of this paragraph, a notice to the Lead Borrower by any Lender shall be effective as to each LIBOR Loan made by such Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period currently applicable to such LIBOR Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the Lead Borrower.

Section 2.17 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment or prepayment of any principal of any LIBOR Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration (including as a result of a bankruptcy filing), or otherwise), (b) the conversion of any LIBOR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any LIBOR Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.07 and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any LIBOR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period or maturity date applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Lead Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19(b), then, in any such event, the Borrowers shall compensate each applicable Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a LIBOR Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for Dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurocurrency market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.17 shall be delivered to the Lead Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

Section 2.18 Taxes; Withholding, etc.

(a) Withholding of Taxes. All sums payable by any Loan Party hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall (except to the extent required by applicable law) be paid free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding on account of, any Tax, other than (i) Taxes imposed on or measured by the recipient’s net income (however denominated), franchise Taxes, and branch profits Taxes, imposed on the recipient, in each case, (A) as a result of such recipient being organized under the laws of, having its principal office in, or, in the case of any Lender, its Applicable Lending Office is located in, the jurisdiction imposing such Tax (or any political subdivision thereof), or (B) as the result of any present or former connection between such recipient and the jurisdiction imposing such Tax (other than connections arising from such recipient having executed, delivered, become a party to, performed its obligations under, received payments under, received or perfected a security interest under, or engaged in any other transaction pursuant to, or enforced any, Loan Document, or sold or assigned an interest in any Loan or Loan Document) (Taxes described in this clause (i)(B), “Other Connection Taxes”), (ii) in the case of a Lender, United States federal income withholding Taxes imposed on amounts payable to or for the account of such Lender pursuant to a law in effect on the date on which (x) such Lender becomes a party hereto or acquires an interest in the Loan (other than pursuant to an assignment request by a Loan Party under Section 2.19(b)), or (y) such Lender changes its Applicable Lending Office, except that this clause (ii) shall not apply to the extent that, pursuant to this Section 2.18, amounts with respect to such Taxes were payable either to such Lender’s assignor immediately before such Lender became a party hereto or to such Lender immediately before it changed its Applicable Lending Office, (iii) Taxes attributable to such recipient’s failure to comply with Section 2.18(d), and (iv) withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA (all such excluded Taxes, collectively or individually, “Excluded Taxes” and all such non-excluded Taxes, collectively or individually, “Indemnified Taxes”). If any Loan Party or any other Person is required by applicable law to make any deduction or withholding on account of any Indemnified Tax or Other Tax from any sum paid or payable by any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or any Lender under any of the Loan Documents: (1) Lead Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent of any such requirement as soon as reasonably practicable after Lead Borrower becomes aware of it, (2) the Loan Parties shall timely pay any such Tax, (3) the sum payable by such Loan Party shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of that deduction, withholding, or payment (including any deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.18), the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, receives on the due date an amount equal to what it would have received had no such deduction, withholding, or payment been required or made, and (4) within thirty days after paying any sum from which it is required by law to make any deduction or withholding, Lead Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by the applicable Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

- 94 -

(b) Other Taxes. The Loan Parties shall pay to the relevant Governmental Authorities any present or future stamp, court or documentary, intangible, recording, filing or similar Taxes that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, from the receipt or perfection of a security interest under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except any such Taxes that are Other Connection Taxes imposed with respect to an assignment (other than an assignment made pursuant to Section 2.19(b)) (“Other Taxes”). Within thirty days after paying any such Other Taxes, each Loan Party shall deliver to Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(i) Indemnification by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties hereby jointly and severally indemnify and agree to hold the Administrative Agent and each Lender harmless from and against all Indemnified Taxes and (without duplication) Other Taxes (including, without limitation, Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes imposed on any amounts payable under this Section 2.18) payable or paid by such Person or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Such indemnification shall be paid within ten (10) days from the date on which the Administrative Agent or any Lender makes written demand therefor specifying in reasonable detail the nature and amount of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Lead Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

- 95 -

(ii) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify and agree to hold the Administrative Agent harmless from and against (A) all Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (B) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.06(h) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (C) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Such indemnification shall be paid within ten (10) days from the date on which the Administrative Agent makes written demand therefor specifying in reasonable detail the nature and amount of such Taxes. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph.

(d) Evidence of Exemption From or Reduction of U.S. Withholding Tax.

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in paragraphs (ii), (iv) and (v) of this Section 2.18(d)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Each Lender that is not a United States Person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) for United States federal income Tax purposes (a “Non-US Lender”) shall deliver to Administrative Agent (for transmission to the Lead Borrower upon the Lead Borrower’s written request), on or prior to the Closing Date (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof on the Closing Date) or on or prior to the date such Person becomes a Lender hereunder, and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of Administrative Agent (in its reasonable exercise of its discretion) or upon the reasonable request of the Lead Borrower, (i) two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (with appropriate attachments), W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, or W-8ECI (or any successor forms), as applicable, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender to establish that such Lender is not subject to, or is subject to a reduced rate of, deduction or withholding of United States federal income Tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of principal, interest, fees, or other amounts payable under any of the Loan Documents, and (ii) if such Lender is claiming exemption from United States federal income Tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, a Certificate Regarding Non-Bank Status, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender. Each Lender required to deliver any forms or certificates with respect to United States federal income Tax withholding matters pursuant to this Section 2.18(d) hereby agrees, from time to time after the initial delivery by such Lender of such forms or certificates, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such forms or certificates obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, that such Lender shall deliver to Administrative Agent (for transmission to the Lead Borrower) two new original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (with appropriate attachments thereto), W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, or W-8ECI, as applicable, and, if applicable, a Certificate Regarding Non-Bank Status (or any successor forms), as the case may be, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, or promptly notify Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower of its inability to deliver any such forms or certificates. Notwithstanding the above, a Non-US Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section 2.18(d)(ii) that such Non-US Lender is not legally able to deliver.

- 96 -

(iii) Any Non-US Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Non-US Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Lead Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(iv) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to United States federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Lead Borrower and Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Lead Borrower or Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Lead Borrower or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Loan Parties and Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.18(d)(iv), FATCA shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form or other form of documentation pursuant to this Section 2.18(d)(iv) that such Non-US Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(v) Each Lender that is a United States Person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) for United States federal income Tax purposes shall deliver to Administrative Agent (for transmission to the Lead Borrower), on or prior to the Closing Date (in the case of each such Lender listed on the signature pages hereof on the Closing Date) or on or prior to the date such Person becomes a Lender hereunder, and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of Administrative Agent (in its reasonable exercise of its discretion) or upon the reasonable request of the Lead Borrower, two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor forms) properly completed and duly executed by such Lender to establish that such Lender is not subject to United States backup withholding Taxes with respect to any payments to such Lender of principal, interest, fees, or other amounts payable under any of the Loan Documents.

(e) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.18 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.18), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.18 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (e) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (e), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (e) 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 with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph (e) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

- 97 -

(f) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.18 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender and the Termination Date.

(g) For purposes of this Section 2.18, “applicable law” shall include FATCA, and the term “Lender” includes each L/C Issuer.

Section 2.19 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.16, or requires the Loan Parties to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.18, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Lead Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different Applicable Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.16 or Section 2.18, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.16 or if the Loan Parties are required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.18 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different Applicable Lending Office in accordance with Section 2.19(a), or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Lead Borrower may, at its sole expense, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.16 or Section 2.18) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

- 98 -

(i) unless waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, the Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 10.06(c)(iv);

(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in L/C Obligations, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.17) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts);

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.16 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.18, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law; and

(v) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented (or is willing to consent upon becoming a Lender) to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Lead Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Section 2.20 Joint and Several Liability.

(a) Each Borrower is accepting joint and several liability hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in consideration of the financial accommodations to be provided by the Credit Parties under this Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each Borrower and in consideration of the undertakings of the other Borrowers to accept joint and several liability for the Obligations.

(b) Each Borrower, jointly and severally, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other Borrowers, with respect to the payment and performance of all of the Obligations (including any Obligations arising under this Section 2.20), it being the intention of the parties hereto that all the Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each Borrower without preferences or distinction among them. Accordingly, each Borrower hereby waives any and all suretyship defenses that would otherwise be available to such Borrower under applicable law.

(c) If and to the extent that any Borrower shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the Obligations as and when due, whether upon maturity, acceleration, or otherwise, or to perform any of the Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event the other Borrowers will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such Obligations until such time as all of the Obligations are paid in full, and without the need for demand, protest, or any other notice or formality.

(d) The Obligations of each Borrower under the provisions of this Section 2.20 constitute the absolute and unconditional, full recourse Obligations of each Borrower enforceable against each Borrower to the full extent of its properties and assets, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the provisions of this Agreement (other than this Section 2.20(d)) or any other circumstances whatsoever.

- 99 -

(e) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each Borrower hereby waives presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including notices of acceptance of its joint and several liability, notice of any portion of the Credit Extensions made under or pursuant to this Agreement, notice of the occurrence of any Default, Event of Default, notices of nonperformance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Agreement, notices of the existence, creation, or incurring of new or additional Obligations or other financial accommodations or of any demand for any payment under this Agreement, notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by the Credit Parties under or in respect of any of the Obligations, any right to proceed against any other Borrower or any other Person, to proceed against or exhaust any security held from any other Borrower or any other Person, to protect, secure, perfect, or insure any security interest or Lien on any property subject thereto or exhaust any right to take any action against any other Borrower, any other Person, or any collateral, to pursue any other remedy in any Credit Party’s power whatsoever, any requirement of diligence or to mitigate damages and, generally, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all demands, notices and other formalities of every kind in connection with this Agreement (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement), any right to assert against any Credit Party, any defense (legal or equitable) (other than performance), set-off, counterclaim, or claim which each Borrower may now or at any time hereafter have against any other Borrower or any other party liable to any Credit Party, any defense (other than performance), set-off, counterclaim, or claim, of any kind or nature, arising directly or indirectly from the present or future lack of perfection, sufficiency, validity, or enforceability of the Obligations or any security therefor, and any right or defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by any Credit Party including any defense based upon an impairment or elimination of such Borrower’s rights of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution, or indemnity of such Borrower against any other Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower hereby assents to, and waives notice of, any extension or postponement of the time for the payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by any Credit Party at any time or times in respect of any default by any Borrower in the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement, any and all other indulgences whatsoever by any Credit Party in respect of any of the Obligations, and the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time or times, of any security for any of the Obligations or the addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, of any Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower assents to any other action or delay in acting or failure to act on the part of any Credit Party with respect to the failure by any Borrower to comply with any of its respective Obligations, including any failure strictly or diligently to assert any right or to pursue any remedy or to comply fully with applicable laws or regulations thereunder, which might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.20 afford grounds for terminating, discharging or relieving any Borrower, in whole or in part, from any of its Obligations under this Section 2.20, it being the intention of each Borrower that, so long as any of the Obligations hereunder remain unsatisfied, the Obligations of each Borrower under this Section 2.20 shall not be discharged except by performance and then only to the extent of such performance. The Obligations of each Borrower under this Section 2.20 shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to any other Borrower or any Credit Party. Each Borrower waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof. Any payment by any Borrower or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to any Borrower shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to each Borrower. Each Borrower waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Borrower or any other Person, other than payment of the Obligations to the extent of such payment, based on or arising out of the disability of any Borrower or any other Person, or the validity, legality, or unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Borrower other than payment of the Obligations to the extent of such payment. The Administrative Agent may, at the election of the Required Lenders, foreclose upon any Collateral held by Administrative Agent by one or more judicial or non-judicial sales or other dispositions, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable or otherwise fails to comply with applicable law or may exercise any other right or remedy Administrative Agent or any other Credit Party may have against any Borrower or any other Person, or any security, in each case, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Borrower hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have been paid.

- 100 -

(f) Each Borrower represents and warrants to the Credit Parties that such Borrower is currently informed of the financial condition of the other Borrowers and of all other circumstances which a diligent inquiry would reveal and which bear upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations. Each Borrower further represents and warrants to the Credit Parties that such Borrower has read and understands the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents. Each Borrower hereby covenants that such Borrower will continue to keep informed of each other Borrower’s financial condition and of all other circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment or nonperformance of the Obligations.

(g) The provisions of this Section 2.20 are made for the benefit of each Credit Party and its successors and assigns, and may be enforced by it or them from time to time against any or all Borrowers as often as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of any Credit Party of any of its successors or assigns first to marshal any of its or their claims or to exercise any of its or their rights against any Borrower or to exhaust any remedies available to it or them against any Borrower or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations hereunder or to elect any other remedy. The provisions of this Section 2.20 shall remain in effect until the occurrence of the Termination Date. If at any time, any payment, or any part thereof, made in respect of any of the Obligations, is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by any Credit Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower, or otherwise, the provisions of this Section 2.20 will forthwith be reinstated in effect, as though such payment had not been made.

(h) Each Borrower hereby agrees that it will not enforce any of its rights that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the provisions of this Section 2.20, including rights of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Credit Party against any Borrower, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including the right to take or receive from any Borrower, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security solely on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until the Termination Date has occurred. Any claim which any Borrower may have against any other Borrower with respect to any payments to any Credit Party hereunder are hereby expressly made subordinate and junior in right of payment, without limitation as to any increases in the Obligations arising hereunder or thereunder, to the prior payment in full in cash of the Obligations and occurrence of the Termination Date and, in the event of any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceeding under the laws of any jurisdiction relating to any Borrower, its debts or its assets, whether voluntary or involuntary, all such Obligations shall be paid in full in cash and the Termination Date shall occur before any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to any other Borrower therefor. If any amount shall be paid to any Borrower in violation of the immediately preceding sentence, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and shall forthwith be paid to Administrative Agent to be credited and applied to the Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Agreement, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or to be held as Collateral for any Obligations or other amounts payable under this Agreement thereafter arising. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Borrower may exercise any rights of subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or other similar rights against, and may not proceed or seek recourse against or with respect to any property or asset of, any other Borrower (the “Foreclosed Borrower”), including after payment in full of the Obligations and the occurrence of the Termination Date, if all or any portion of the Obligations have been satisfied in connection with an exercise of remedies in respect of the Capital Stock of such Foreclosed Borrower whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise.

- 101 -

(i) Each Borrower hereby acknowledges and affirms that it understands that to the extent the Obligations are secured by Real Property located in California, such Borrower shall be liable for the full amount of the liability hereunder notwithstanding the foreclosure on such Real Property by trustee sale or any other reason impairing such Borrower’s right to proceed against any other Loan Party. In accordance with Section 2856 of the California Civil Code or any similar laws of any other applicable jurisdiction, each Borrower hereby waives until the Termination Date has occurred:

(i) all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification, and contribution and any other rights and defenses that are or may become available to such Borrower by reason of Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, 2899, and 3433 of the California Civil Code or any similar laws of any other applicable jurisdiction;

(ii) all rights and defenses that such Borrower may have because the Obligations are secured by Real Property located in California, meaning, among other things, that: (A) the Credit Parties may collect from such Borrower without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by any Loan Party, and (B) if Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Credit Parties, forecloses on any Real Property pledged by any Loan Party, (1) the amount of the Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price, and (2) the Credit Parties may collect from the Loan Parties even if, by foreclosing on the Real Property, any Credit Party has destroyed or impaired any right such Borrower may have to collect from any other Loan Party, it being understood that this is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses such Borrower may have because the Obligations are secured by Real Property (including any rights or defenses based upon Sections 580a, 580d, or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure or any similar laws of any other applicable jurisdiction); and

(iii) all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the Credit Parties, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for the Obligations, has destroyed such Borrower’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against any other Loan Party by the operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or any similar laws of any other applicable jurisdiction or otherwise.

Section 2.21 Lead Borrower. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lead Borrower as the borrowing agent and attorney-in-fact for each Borrower, which appointment shall remain in full force and effect unless and until Administrative Agent shall have received prior written notice signed by each Borrower that such appointment has been revoked and that another Borrower has been appointed Lead Borrower. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Lead Borrower (a) to provide Administrative Agent with all notices with respect to Credit Extensions obtained for the benefit of any Borrower and all other notices and instructions under this Agreement and (b) to take such action as Lead Borrower deems appropriate on its behalf to carry out the purposes of this Agreement. It is understood that the handling of the Credit Extensions and the Collateral of Loan Parties in a combined fashion, as more fully set forth herein, is done solely as an accommodation to the Borrowers in order to utilize the collective borrowing powers of the Borrowers in the most efficient and economical manner and at their request, and that Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability to any Borrower as a result hereof. Each Borrower expects to derive benefit, directly or indirectly, from the handling of Credit Extensions and the Collateral in a combined fashion since the successful operation of each Borrower is dependent on the continued successful performance of the integrated group.

The present value of the aggregate benefit liabilities under each Pension Plan sponsored, maintained, or contributed to by any Loan Party or any of its ERISA Affiliates (determined as of the end of the most recent plan year on the basis of the actuarial assumptions specified for funding purposes in the most recent actuarial valuation for such Pension Plan), did not exceed the aggregate current value of the assets of such Pension Plan. As of the most recent valuation date for each Multiemployer Plan for which the actuarial report is available, the potential liability of any Loan Party and its ERISA Affiliates for a complete withdrawal from such Multiemployer Plan (within the meaning of Section 4203 of ERISA), when aggregated with such potential liability for a complete withdrawal from all Multiemployer Plans, based on information available pursuant to Section 4221(e) of ERISA is zero. Each Loan Party and each of its ERISA Affiliates have complied with the requirements of Section 515 of ERISA with respect to each Multiemployer Plan and are not in “default” (as defined in Section 4219(c)(5) of ERISA) with respect to payments to a Multiemployer Plan.

Section 4.26 Trademarks and Key Trademark Licenses. Except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, constitute a Material Adverse Effect, each Loan Party has the licenses to use or otherwise has the right to use all trademarks owned by third parties that are necessary to the conduct of its business as currently conducted (including, without limitation, Material Intellectual Property) (“Licensed Trademarks”).

ARTICLE VII

GUARANTY

Section 7.01 Guaranty of the Obligations. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.02, Guarantors jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties the due and punctual payment in full of all Secured Obligations when the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand, or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code) (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”).

Section 7.02 Contribution by Guarantors. All Guarantors desire to allocate among themselves, in a fair and equitable manner, their obligations arising under the Guaranties. Accordingly, in the event any payment or distribution is made on any date by a Guarantor under any Guaranty such that its Aggregate Payments exceeds its Fair Share as of such date, such Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each of the other Guarantors in an amount sufficient to cause each Guarantor’s Aggregate Payments to equal its Fair Share as of such date. “Fair Share” means, with respect to any Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (a) the ratio of (i) the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to such Guarantor, to (ii) the aggregate of the Fair Share Contribution Amounts with respect to all Guarantors multiplied by, (b) the aggregate amount paid or distributed on or before such date by all Guarantors under all Guaranties in respect of the Secured Obligations guaranteed. “Fair Share Contribution Amount” means, with respect to any Guarantor as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations of such Guarantor under the Guaranties that would not render its obligations under the Guaranties subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable applicable provisions of state or foreign law; provided, that solely for purposes of calculating the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to any Guarantor for purposes of this Section 7.02, any assets or liabilities of such Guarantor arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement, or indemnification or any rights to or obligations of contribution under any Guaranty shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such Guarantor. “Aggregate Payments” means, with respect to any Guarantor, as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (y) the aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such date by such Guarantor in respect of any Guaranties (including, without limitation, in respect of this Section 7.02), minus (z) the aggregate amount of all payments received on or before such date by such Guarantor from the other Guarantors as contributions under this Section 7.02. The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the applicable Guarantor. The allocation among Guarantors of their obligations as set forth in this Section 7.02 shall not be construed in any way to limit the liability of any Guarantor under any Guaranty. Each Guarantor is a third party beneficiary to the contribution agreement set forth in this Section 7.02.

Section 7.03 Payment by Guarantors. Subject to Section 7.02, Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree, in furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Secured Party may have at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, that upon the failure of a Borrower to pay any of the Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand, or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code), Guarantors will upon demand pay, or cause to be paid, in Cash, to Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, an amount equal to the sum of the unpaid principal amount of all Guaranteed Obligations then due as aforesaid, accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (including interest which, but for such Borrower’s becoming the subject of a case under the Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on such Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed or allowable against such Borrower for such interest in the related bankruptcy case) and all other Guaranteed Obligations then owed to the Secured Parties as aforesaid.

- 140 -

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

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

(b) the Administrative Agent may enforce this Guaranty upon the occurrence of an Event of Default notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between a Borrower and any Secured Party with respect to the existence of such Event of Default,

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

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

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

- 141 -

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

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

- 142 -

Section 7.06 Guarantors’ Rights of Subrogation, Contribution, etc. Until the Termination Date has occurred, each Guarantor hereby waives any claim, right, or remedy, direct or indirect, that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against a Borrower or any other Guarantor or any of its assets in connection with this Guaranty or the performance by such Guarantor of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether such claim, right, or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law, or otherwise and including, without limitation, (a) any right of subrogation, reimbursement, or indemnification that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against such Borrower with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, (b) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right, or remedy that any Secured Party now has or may hereafter have against such Borrower, and (c) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any collateral or security now or hereafter held by any Secured Party. In addition, until the Termination Date has occurred, each Guarantor shall withhold exercise of any right of contribution such Guarantor may have against any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations, including, without limitation, any such right of contribution as contemplated by Section 7.02. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Guarantor may exercise any rights of subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or other similar rights against, and may not proceed or seek recourse against or with respect to any property or asset of, any other Loan Party (the “Foreclosed Loan Party”), including after payment in full of the Obligations and the occurrence of the Termination Date, if all or any portion of the Obligations have been satisfied in connection with an exercise of remedies in respect of the Capital Stock of such Foreclosed Loan Party whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise. Each Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent the waiver or agreement to withhold the exercise of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification, and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement, or indemnification such Guarantor may have against such Borrower or against any collateral or security, and any rights of contribution such Guarantor may have against any such other guarantor, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights any Secured Party may have against such Borrower, to all right, title, and interest any Secured Party may have in any such collateral or security, and to any right any Secured Party may have against such other guarantor. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of any such subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification, or contribution rights at any time prior to the occurrence of the Termination Date (or at any time if all or any portion of the Obligations have been satisfied in connection with an exercise of remedies in respect of the Capital Stock of such Foreclosed Loan Party whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise), such amount shall be held in trust for Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, and shall forthwith be paid over to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms hereof.

Section 7.07 Subordination of Other Obligations. Any Indebtedness of any Borrower or any Guarantor now or hereafter held by any Guarantor is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the Guaranteed Obligations, and any such indebtedness collected or received by such Guarantor after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing shall be held in trust for Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, and shall forthwith be paid over to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations but without affecting, impairing, or limiting in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under any other provision hereof.

- 143 -

Section 7.08 Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in effect until the Termination Date has occurred. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty as to future transactions giving rise to any Guaranteed Obligations.

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

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

Section 7.11 Bankruptcy, etc.

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

(b) Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which accrues after the commencement of any case or proceeding referred to in clause (a) above (or, if interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of the commencement of such case or proceeding, such interest as would have accrued on such portion of the Guaranteed Obligations if such case or proceeding had not been commenced) shall be included in the Guaranteed Obligations because it is the intention of Guarantors and Secured Parties that the Guaranteed Obligations which are guaranteed by Guarantors pursuant hereto should be determined without regard to any rule of law or order which may relieve any Borrower of any portion of such Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantors will permit any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, or similar person to pay Administrative Agent, or allow the claim of Administrative Agent in respect of, any such interest accruing after the date on which such case or proceeding is commenced.

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

- 144 -

Section 7.12 Discharge of Guaranty upon Sale of Guarantor. If all of the Capital Stock of any Guarantor or any of its successors in interest hereunder shall be sold or otherwise disposed of (including by merger or consolidation) in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, the Guaranty of such Guarantor or such successor in interest, as the case may be, hereunder shall automatically be discharged and released without any further action by any Secured Party or any other Person effective as of the time of such Asset Sale.

Second, to the extent of any excess of such proceeds, to the payment of that portion of the Secured Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to each L/C Issuer and the L/C Fronting Fee), in each case payable to each L/C Issuer in its capacity as such;

Third, to the extent of any excess of such proceeds, to the payment of that portion of the Secured Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other similar amounts, payable to the Credit Parties (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the respective Credit Parties and amounts payable under Article II), ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third payable to them;

Fifth, to the extent of any excess of such proceeds, to (a) the payment of that portion of the Secured Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans and L/C Obligations, (b) the Administrative Agent for the account of each applicable L/C Issuer, to Cash Collateralize in an amount no greater than the Minimum Collateral Amount that portion of L/C Obligations comprised of the aggregate undrawn amount of the Letters of Credit and (c) all Noticed Swap Agreement Obligations and Noticed Cash Management Obligations up to the amount of Reserves that have been implemented in the Borrowing Base on account therefor, ratably among the Secured Parties in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fifth held by them;

Subject to Section 2.11, amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fifth above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied to the Secured Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above. The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to calculate the amount of any Secured Swap Agreement Obligations or Secured Cash Management Obligations and may request a reasonably detailed calculation thereof from the provider of such Secured Obligations. If the provider of any Secured Swap Agreement Obligations or Secured Cash Management Obligations fails to deliver the calculation of such Secured Obligations within five (5) days following request thereof by the Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent may assume the amount of such Secured Obligations are (a) in the case of Noticed Swap Agreement Obligations or Noticed Cash Management Obligations, the amount set forth in the most recent Secured Obligation Designation Notice received by the Administrative Agent and (b) in the case of any other Secured Swap Agreement Obligations or Secured Cash Management Obligations, zero. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, Excluded CEA Swap Obligations with respect to any Guarantor shall not be paid with amounts received from such Guarantor or its assets, but appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to payments from other Loan Parties to preserve the allocation to Secured Obligations otherwise set forth above in this Section 8.02.

ARTICLE IX

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 9.01 Appointment of Administrative Agent.

(a) Each of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers hereby irrevocably appoints Citizens Bank to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and hereby authorizes Citizens Bank, in such capacity, to act as its agent in accordance with the terms hereof and the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, to make loans and Overadvances, for the Administrative Agent or on behalf of the applicable Lenders as provided in this Agreement or any other Loan Document and to perform, exercise, and enforce any and all other rights and remedies of Lenders with respect to the Loan Parties, the Secured Obligations, or otherwise related to any of same to the extent reasonably incidental to the exercise by the Administrative Agent of the rights and remedies specifically authorized to be exercised by the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Parties.

(b) The Administrative Agent hereby agrees to act upon the express conditions contained herein and the other Loan Documents, as applicable. The provisions of this Article IX are solely for the benefit of the Credit Parties, and neither any Loan Party nor any Affiliate thereof shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions thereof. In performing its functions and duties hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall act solely as an agent of the other Credit Parties and does not assume, and shall not be deemed to have assumed, any obligation towards, or relationship of agency or trust with or for, any of the Loan Parties or their respective Affiliates.

Section 9.02 Powers and Duties. Each of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on such Credit Party’s behalf and to exercise such powers, rights, and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated or granted to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers, rights, and remedies as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent shall have only those duties and responsibilities that are expressly specified herein and the other Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent may exercise such powers, rights, and remedies and perform such duties by or through its agents or employees. The Administrative Agent shall not have, by reason hereof or any of the other Loan Documents, any fiduciary relationship in respect of any other Credit Party; and nothing herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Administrative Agent any obligations in respect hereof or any of the other Loan Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

Section 9.03 General Immunity.

- 150 -

(a) No Responsibility for Certain Matters. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any other Credit Party for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability, or sufficiency hereof or any other Loan Document or for any representations, warranties, recitals, or statements made herein or therein or made in any written or oral statements or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports, or certificates or any other documents furnished or made by the Administrative Agent to the other Credit Parties or by or on behalf of any Loan Party, Global Parent, Liberty/Revolution Top Parent, Vitamin Top Parent or Vitamin Intermediate Parent to any Credit Party in connection with the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby or for the financial condition or business affairs of any Loan Party or any other Person liable for the payment of any Obligations, nor shall the Administrative Agent be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants, or agreements contained in any of the Loan Documents or as to the use of the proceeds of the Loans or as to the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default or Default or to make any disclosures with respect to the foregoing. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent shall not have any liability arising from confirmations of the amount of outstanding Loans or other Obligations.

(b) Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be liable to the other Credit Parties for any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the Loan Documents except to the extent caused by the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable order. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act or the taking of any action (including the failure to take an action) in connection herewith or any of the other Loan Documents or from the exercise of any power, discretion, or authority vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received instructions in respect thereof from Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under Section 10.05) and, upon receipt of such instructions from Required Lenders (or such other Lenders, as the case may be), the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to act or (where so instructed) refrain from acting, or to exercise such power, discretion, or authority, in accordance with such instructions. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, (i) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any communication, instrument, or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons, and shall be entitled to rely and shall be protected in relying on opinions and judgments of attorneys (who may be attorneys for the Loan Parties), accountants, experts, and other professional advisors selected by it, and (ii) no Credit Party shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or (where so instructed) refraining from acting hereunder or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under Section 10.05). Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or L/C Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit.

- 151 -

(c) Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to Events of Default in the payment of principal, interest, and fees required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Credit Parties, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from another Credit Party or any Loan Party referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Administrative Agent will notify the other Credit Parties of its receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to any such Default or Event of Default as may be directed by the Required Lenders in accordance with Article VIII; provided, that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Credit Parties.

Section 9.04 Administrative Agent Entitled to Act as Lender. The agency hereby created shall in no way impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations upon, the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender or an L/C Issuer hereunder. With respect to its participation in the Loans and Letters of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as if it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it hereunder, and the term “Lender” shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The Administrative Agent or its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, or other business with Global Parent, Lead Borrower or any of their respective Affiliates as if it were not performing the duties specified herein and may accept fees and other consideration from any Loan Party for services in connection herewith and otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders.

Section 9.05 Lenders’ Representations, Warranties and Acknowledgment.

(a) Each of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers hereby represents and warrants that it has made its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Loan Parties in connection with the Credit Extensions hereunder and that it has made and shall continue to make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Loan Parties. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to make any such investigation or any such appraisal on behalf of the Credit Parties or to provide any Credit Party with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Credit Extensions or at any time or times thereafter, and the Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility with respect to the accuracy of, or the completeness of, any information provided to the Credit Parties.

(b) Each of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement, an Assignment Agreement, an Incremental Assumption Agreement, or any other agreement by which it first becomes a party hereto as a Lender or L/C Issuer, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be approved by a Lender or an L/C Issuer, as applicable, on the Closing Date.

Section 9.06 [Reserved].

Section 9.07 Successor Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty days’ (or such shorter period as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) prior written notice thereof to Lenders, L/C

- 152 -

Issuers and Lead Borrower. Upon any such notice of resignation, Required Lenders shall have the right, with Lead Borrower’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (other than during the existence of an Event of Default, provided that during the existence of an Event of Default, the Required Lenders shall give five (5) Business Days’ prior notice to Lead Borrower), to appoint a successor Administrative Agent that is not a Disqualified Institution. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of Lenders and L/C Issuers, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above (including that such successor not be a Disqualified Institution), as applicable, from among Lenders. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, that successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall promptly (i) transfer to such successor Administrative Agent all sums, Securities, and other items of Collateral held under the Collateral Documents, together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, and (ii) execute and deliver to such successor Administrative Agent such amendments to financing statements and take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor Administrative Agent of the security interests created under the Collateral Documents, whereupon such retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if no successor Administrative Agent has accepted an appointment by the retiring Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders and L/C Issuers, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent appoints such successor Administrative Agent, such retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall be deemed effective, and Lead Borrower shall appoint the successor Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders and L/C Issuers, without their further consent. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article IX shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent hereunder.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may assign its rights and duties as Administrative Agent hereunder to an Affiliate without the prior written consent of, or prior written notice to, Lead Borrower, Lenders or L/C Issuers; provided, that Lead Borrower, Lenders and L/C Issuers may deem and treat such assigning Administrative Agent as Administrative Agent for all purposes hereof, unless and until such assigning Administrative Agent provides written notice to Lead Borrower, Lenders and L/C Issuers of such assignment. Upon such assignment, such Affiliate shall succeed to and become vested with all rights, powers, privileges and duties as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

(c) The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through its respective Affiliates. The exculpatory, indemnification, and other provisions of Section 9.03 and this Section 9.07 shall apply to any of the Affiliates of the Administrative Agent and shall apply to their respective activities as Administrative Agent. All of the rights, benefits, and privileges (including the exculpatory and indemnification provisions) of Section 9.03 and this Section 9.07 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of any such sub-agent and shall apply to their respective activities as sub-agent as if such sub-agent and Affiliates were named herein. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to each sub-agent appointed by the Administrative Agent, (i) such sub-agent shall be a third party beneficiary under this Agreement with respect to all such rights, benefits, and privileges (including exculpatory and rights to indemnification) and shall have all of the rights, benefits, and privileges of a third party beneficiary, including an independent right of action to enforce such rights, benefits, and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) directly, without the consent or joinder of any other Person, against any or all of the Loan Parties, (ii) such rights, benefits, and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) shall not be modified or amended without the consent of such sub-agent, and (iii) such sub-agent shall only have obligations to Administrative Agent and not to any Loan Party, Lender, L/C Issuer, or any other Person and no Loan Party, Lender, L/C Issuer, or any other Person shall have the rights, directly or indirectly, as a third party beneficiary or otherwise, against such sub-agent.

- 153 -

(d) Any resignation or removal of Citizens Bank as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.07 shall also constitute its resignation as an L/C Issuer and the Swingline Lender. If Citizens Bank resigns as an L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto, including the right to require the Revolving Lenders to make ABR Revolving Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.04(c). If Citizens Bank resigns as the Swingline Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swingline Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swingline Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Revolving Lenders to make ABR Revolving Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.03(c). Upon the appointment by the Lead Borrower of a successor L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender, as applicable, (ii) the retiring L/C Issuer and Swingline Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (iii) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue Letters of Credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer in its reasonable discretion to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

Section 9.08 Collateral Documents and Guaranty.

(a) Administrative Agent Under Collateral Documents and Guaranty. Each Lender and L/C Issuer hereby further authorizes Administrative Agent, on behalf of and for the benefit of Lenders and L/C Issuers, to be the agent for, and representative of, Lenders and L/C Issuers with respect to the Guaranty, the Collateral, and the Collateral Documents. Subject to Section 10.05, without further written consent or authorization from Lenders or L/C Issuers, Administrative Agent may execute any documents or instruments necessary to (i) release any Lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the subject of a sale or other disposition of assets permitted hereby or to which Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 10.05) have otherwise consented, (ii) release any Lien encumbering any item of Collateral upon the occurrence of the Termination Date, or (iii) release any Guarantor from the Guaranty pursuant to Section 7.12 or with respect to which Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 10.05) have otherwise consented. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, pursuant to this Section 9.08(a).

(b) Right to Realize on Collateral and Enforce Guaranty. Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, each Borrower, Administrative Agent, and each Lender and L/C Issuer hereby agree that (i) no Lender or L/C Issuer shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights, and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders and L/C Issuers, in accordance with the terms hereof and all powers, rights, and remedies under the Collateral Documents may be exercised solely by Administrative Agent, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure by Administrative Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or any sale of the Collateral in a case under the Bankruptcy Code, Administrative Agent or any Lender or L/C Issuer may be the purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale and Administrative Agent, as agent for, and representative of, Secured Parties (but not any Lender or L/C Issuer or Lenders or L/C Issuers in its or their respective individual capacities unless Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by Administrative Agent at such sale. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

- 154 -

Section 9.09 Agency for Perfection. Each Credit Party hereby appoints each other Credit Party as agent and bailee for the purpose of perfecting the security interests in and liens upon the Collateral in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC, can be perfected only by possession or control (or where the security interest of a secured party with possession or control has priority over the security interest of another secured party), and each Credit Party hereby acknowledges that it holds possession of or otherwise controls any such Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties as secured party. Should any Lender or L/C Issuer obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such Lender or L/C Issuer shall notify Administrative Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Administrative Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to Administrative Agent or in accordance with Administrative Agent’s instructions. In addition, Administrative Agent shall also have the power and authority hereunder to appoint such other sub-agents as may be necessary or required under applicable state law or otherwise to perform its duties and enforce its rights with respect to the Collateral and under the Loan Documents. Each Loan Party by its execution and delivery of this Agreement hereby consents to the foregoing.

Section 9.10 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or reimbursement for any L/C Disbursement shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Loan Parties) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Credit Parties (including, subject to Sections 10.02 and 10.03, any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Credit Parties and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Credit Parties under Sections 10.02 and 10.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same to the Credit Parties in accordance with Section 8.02;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and L/C Issuer to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent thereto, to make such payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, and to pay to the Administrative Agent, subject to Sections 10.02 and 10.03, any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 10.02 and 10.03.

- 155 -

Section 9.11 Compliance with Flood Insurance Laws. The Administrative Agent has adopted internal policies and procedures that address requirements placed on federally regulated lenders under the Flood Insurance Laws and will post on the applicable electronic platform (or otherwise distribute to each Lender) documents that it receives in connection with the Flood Insurance Laws (collectively, the “Flood Documents”); provided, however that the Administrative Agent makes no representation or warranty with respect to the adequacy of the Flood Documents or their compliance with the Flood Insurance Laws.

(d) All amounts due under this Section 10.03 shall be payable promptly and in no event later than ten (10) days after demand therefor.

Section 10.04 Setoff. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, each Credit Party and its respective Affiliates are hereby authorized by each Loan Party at any time or from time to time, subject to the consent of Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), without notice to any Loan Party or to any other Person (other than Administrative Agent), any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including Indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts (in whatever currency)) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Credit Party and its respective Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party (in whatever currency) against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of any Loan Party to such Credit Party and its respective Affiliates hereunder, or with any other Loan Document, irrespective of whether or not (a) such Credit Party and its respective Affiliates shall have made any demand hereunder, (b) the principal of, or the interest on, the Credit Extensions or any other amounts due hereunder shall have become due and payable pursuant to Article II and although such obligations and liabilities, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured, or (c) such obligation or liability is owed to a branch or office of such Credit Party different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligation or such Indebtedness. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Defaulting Lender exercises any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.10 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Secured Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.

Section 10.05 Amendments and Waivers.

(a) No failure or delay by any Credit Party in exercising any right or power under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Credit Parties under the Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 10.05, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan and/or the issuance, amendment, extension or renewal of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether any Credit Party may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

- 160 -

(b) Except as expressly provided by Section 2.12, Section 2.15(b), or in the other paragraphs of this Section 10.05, neither this Agreement, nor any other Loan Document (other than the Fee Letters) nor any provision thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Lead Borrower and the Required Lenders, or by the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that without limiting the foregoing, no such agreement shall:

(i) extend or increase any Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender or increase the L/C Sublimit without the consent of each L/C Issuer (it being understood that (x) a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Article III, (y) the waiver of any Default or Event of Default or (z) the waiver of any mandatory prepayment required by Section 2.08 shall not constitute an extension or increase of any Commitment of any Lender or an increase of the L/C Sublimit);

(ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or any reimbursement obligation with respect to an L/C Disbursement, or reduce the rate of any interest, or reduce any fees or other amounts, payable under the Loan Documents, without the written consent of each Credit Party directly and adversely affected thereby; provided that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to (w) amend or modify the definition of “Default Rate”, (x) waive any obligation of the Borrowers to pay interest at the Default Rate, (y) waive any mandatory prepayment required by Section 2.08 or (z) modify the rates of interest in accordance with Section 2.15(b), in each case, notwithstanding the fact that any such amendment, modification or waiver may actually result in reduction in the rate of interest or fees;

(iii) postpone any date scheduled for any payment of principal of, or interest on, any Loan or reimbursement obligation with respect to any L/C Disbursement, or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the stated termination or expiration of any Commitments or reduce the amount of or postpone the date of any prepayment required by Section 2.08 without the written consent of each Credit Party directly and adversely affected thereby; provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to (x) waive any mandatory prepayment required by Section 2.08, (y) modify the rates of interest or payment dates thereof in accordance with Section 2.15(b) or (z) waive any Default or Event of Default;

(iv) except as expressly provided in Section 2.11 and subsection (c) below, change any provision of any Loan Document in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required by Section 2.09(b) or Section 8.02, or the relative priorities of such payments, or the pro rata reduction of Commitments required by Section 2.05(c), without the written consent of (x) each Lender and (y) each other Credit Party directly and adversely affected thereby;

(v) change any of the provisions of this Section 10.05 or the definitions of the terms “Required Lenders” or “Supermajority Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender;

- 161 -

(vi) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.11 without the written consent of the Administrative Agent and each L/C Issuer;

(vii) change the currency in which any Commitment or Loan is, or is to be, denominated, Letters of Credit are to be issued or payment under the Loan Documents is to be made without the written consent of each Lender and L/C Issuer directly affected thereby;

(viii) release all or substantially all of the Guaranty or release (or subordinate the Administrative Agent’s Liens on) all or substantially all of the Collateral, in each case, in any transaction or series of related transactions (other than in connection with permitted asset sales, permitted dispositions, permitted mergers, permitted liquidations or dissolutions or as otherwise permitted under the Loan Documents) without the written consent of each Lender;

(ix) subordinate any material portion of the Obligations, or any Liens on any material portion of the Collateral created by this Agreement or any other Loan Document (other than to the extent permitted by Section 6.02), without the written consent of each Lender; or

(x) make any modification to the definition of the term “Borrowing Base” (or any defined term used in such definition) which would have the effect of increasing the availability thereunder to the ABL Loan Parties other than changes in Reserves implemented by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without the written consent of Supermajority Lenders;

provided, further, that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties hereunder or under any other Loan Document of (A) the Administrative Agent, unless in writing executed by the Administrative Agent, (B) any L/C Issuer, unless in writing executed by such L/C Issuer and (C) any Swingline Lender, unless in writing executed by such Swingline Lender, in each case in addition to the Lead Borrower and the Lenders required above.

This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and the successors and assigns of the Credit Parties; provided, that any assignment that is not permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be absolutely void ab initio. No rights or obligations of a Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document nor any interest therein may be assigned or delegated by any Loan Party without the prior written consent of all Credit Parties. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, Indemnitees under Section 10.03, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, Affiliates of each Credit Party) any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

Each Borrower hereby designates the entity serving as Administrative Agent to serve as each Borrower’s non-fiduciary agent solely for purposes of maintaining the Register as provided in this Section 10.06(b). Borrowers, Administrative Agent, and Lenders shall deem and treat the Persons listed as Lenders in the Register as the holders and owners of the corresponding Commitments and Loans listed therein for all purposes hereof, and no assignment or transfer of any such Commitment or Loan shall be effective, in each case, unless and until an Assignment Agreement effecting the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been delivered to and accepted by Administrative Agent and recorded in the Register as provided in Section 10.06(e). Prior to such recordation, all amounts owed with respect to the applicable Commitment or Loan shall be owed to the Lender listed in the Register as the owner thereof, and any request, authority, or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is listed in the Register as a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, assignee, or transferee of the corresponding Commitments or Loans.

(c) Right to Assign. Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell, assign, or transfer all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment or Loans owing to it or other Obligations; provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(B) in any case not described in paragraph (c)(i)(A) of this Section 10.06, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment Agreement with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment Agreement, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Lead Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

- 163 -

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. 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 Loan or the Commitment assigned.

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by paragraph (c)(i)(B) of this Section 10.06 and, in addition:

(A) the consent of the Lead Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) a Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender), an Affiliate of a Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) or an Approved Fund, provided that the Lead Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after written notice of such assignment shall have been delivered to the Lead Borrower;

(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) shall be required for assignments to a Person who is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and

(C) the consent of the L/C Issuers and the Swingline Lender (in each case, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of the Revolving Facility.

(iv) Assignment Agreement. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment Agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. In addition, each assignee shall, on or before the effective date of such assignment, deliver to the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent certification as to exemption from deduction or withholding of any United States Taxes in accordance with Section 2.18(d).

(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) any Loan Party, any Permitted Holder or any of their respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries, (B) any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute a Defaulting Lender or a Subsidiary thereof or (C) a Person who, at the time of such assignment, is a Sanctioned Person if such assignment would violate applicable law.

(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person).

(vii) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the prior written consent of the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

- 164 -

Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph 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 paragraph (h) of this Section 10.06.

(d) [Reserved].

Upon its receipt and acceptance of a duly executed and completed Assignment Agreement and any forms or certificates required by this Agreement in connection therewith, Administrative Agent shall record the information contained in such Assignment Agreement in the Register, shall give prompt notice thereof to Lead Borrower, and shall maintain a copy of such Assignment Agreement.

(g) Effect of Assignment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 10.06, as of the later (i) of the “Effective Date” specified in the applicable Assignment Agreement or (ii) the date such assignment is recorded in the Register: (A) the assignee thereunder shall have the rights and obligations of a “Lender” hereunder to the extent such rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement and shall thereafter be a party hereto and a “Lender” for all purposes hereof, (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned thereby pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, relinquish its rights (other than any rights which survive the termination hereof under Section 10.08) and be released from its obligations hereunder (and, in the case of an Assignment Agreement covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto; provided, that anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, such assigning Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of all indemnities hereunder as specified herein with respect to matters arising out of the prior involvement of such assigning Lender as a Lender hereunder), (C) the Commitments shall be modified to reflect the Commitment of such assignee and any Commitment of such assigning Lender, if any, and (D) if any such assignment occurs after the issuance of any Note hereunder, the assigning Lender shall, upon the effectiveness of such assignment or as promptly thereafter as practicable, surrender its applicable Notes to Administrative Agent for cancellation, and thereupon, Borrowers shall issue and deliver new Notes, if so requested by the assignee and/or assigning Lender, to such assignee and/or to such assigning Lender, with appropriate insertions, to reflect the new Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of the assignee and/or the assigning Lender.

(h) Participations.

(i) Each Lender shall have the right at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, to sell one or more participations to any Person (other than a Person to whom an assignment may not be made under paragraphs (c)(v) or (c)(vi) of this Section 10.06) in all or any part of its Commitments, Loans, or in any other Obligation; provided, that any sale of any participation made to any such prohibited Person shall be absolutely void ab initio; provided, further, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) each Borrower and each Credit Party shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. The holder of any such participation, other than an Affiliate of Lender granting such participation, shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder, except the Lender may agree with such participant that the participant may require the Lender to take or omit to take certain actions with respect to any amendment, modification, or waiver described in clauses (i) through (v) or (vii) through (x) of Section 10.05(b) that adversely affects such holder of such participation. Each Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.16, 2.17, and 2.18 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.06(c); provided, that such participant complies with Section 2.18 as though it were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.18(d) shall be delivered to the participating Lender). To the extent permitted by law, each participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.04 as though it were a Lender, provided such participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.09 as though it were a Lender.

- 165 -

(ii) In the event that any Lender sells participations in its Commitments, Loans, or in any other Obligation hereunder, such Lender shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name of all participants in the Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or Obligations held by it and the principal amount (and stated interest thereon) of the portion of such Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or Obligations which are the subject of the participation (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. A Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit, or Obligation hereunder may be participated in whole or in part only by registration of such participation on the Participant Register (and each Note shall expressly so provide). For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining the Participant Register.

(i) Certain Other Assignments. In addition to any other assignment permitted pursuant to this Section 10.06, any Lender may assign, pledge, and/or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its Loans, the other Obligations owed by or to such Lender, and its Notes, if any, to secure obligations of such Lender or any of its Affiliates to any Person providing any loan, letter of credit, or other extension of credit or financial arrangement to or for the account of such Lender or the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates and any agent, trustee, or representative of such Person (without the consent of, notice to, or any other action by any other party hereto), including, without limitation, any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank; provided, that neither any Lender nor the Administrative Agent, as between Borrowers and such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any such assignment and pledge; provided further, that in no event shall such Person, agent, trustee, or representative of such Person or the applicable Federal Reserve Bank be considered to be a “Lender” hereunder.

- 166 -

(k) Disqualified Institutions. So long as no Specified Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no assignment or participation shall be made to a Disqualified Institution without Lead Borrower’s consent in writing (which consent may be withheld in its sole discretion) (with any assignment or participation in violation of the foregoing to be absolutely void ab initio), and upon an inquiry by any Lender to Administrative Agent as to whether a specific potential assignee or prospective participant is a Disqualified Institution, Administrative Agent shall be permitted to disclose the list of Disqualified Institutions to such inquiring Lenders; provided, that Administrative Agent shall not, in any event, be responsible for, nor have any liability in connection with, maintaining, updating, monitoring, or enforcing the list of Disqualified Institutions, nor for any assignment or participation to a Disqualified Institution to which Lead Borrower has consented (including deemed consent), except to the extent determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision to have been caused by, or be the result, of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Administrative Agent.

(l) Cashless Settlement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Lender may exchange, continue or rollover all or a portion of its Loans in connection with any refinancing, extension, loan modification or similar transaction permitted by the terms of this Agreement, pursuant to a cashless settlement mechanism approved by the Lead Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Lender.

Section 10.07 Independence of Covenants. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

Section 10.08 Survival of Representations, Warranties, and Agreements. All representations, warranties, and agreements made herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and the making of any Credit Extension, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any Credit Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder. Notwithstanding anything herein or implied by law to the contrary, the agreements of each Loan Party set forth in Sections 2.16, 2.17, 2.18, 10.02, 10.03, 10.04, and 10.10 and the agreements of Lenders set forth in Sections 2.09 and 9.03(b) shall survive the occurrence of the Termination Date.

Section 10.09 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of any Credit Party in the exercise of any power, right, or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall impair such power, right, or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right, or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right, or privilege. The rights, powers, and remedies given to each Credit Party hereby are cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers, and remedies existing by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in any of the other Loan Documents. Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay in exercising, any right, power, or remedy hereunder shall not impair any such right, power, or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such right, power, or remedy.

Section 10.10 Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. No Credit Party shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Loan Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Secured Obligations. To the extent that any Loan Party makes a payment or payments to any Credit Party, or any Credit Party enforces any security interests or exercises its rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver, or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state or federal law, common law, or any equitable cause, then, (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights, and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred and (b) each Credit Party severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

- 167 -

Section 10.11 Severability. In case any provision herein or obligation hereunder or any Note or other Loan Document shall be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

Section 10.12 Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights. The obligations of Lenders hereunder are several, and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitment of any other Lender hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document, and no action taken by Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Lenders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture, or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt.

Section 10.13 Headings. Section headings herein are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part hereof for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.

Section 10.18 Usury Savings Clause. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged or agreed to be paid with respect to any of the Obligations, including all

- 170 -

charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under applicable law shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the outstanding amount of the applicable Obligations hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition, if when the Obligations hereunder are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of Credit Parties and Borrowers to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if any Credit Party contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Credit Party’s option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Obligations hereunder or be refunded to Borrowers. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by any Credit Party exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest, throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

Section 10.19 Counterparts; Integration; Electronic Execution.

(a) Counterparts; Integration. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic means shall be effective as delivery of an original counterpart of this Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.

(b) Electronic Execution. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this Agreement or, except as expressly set forth herein or therein, any other Loan Document 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.

(d) consents to the treatment of Liens provided for under the Intercreditor Agreement and any Liberty Intercreditor Agreement and in furtherance thereof authorizes the Administrative Agent to subordinate the liens on the Collateral securing the Secured Obligations (in the case of the Intercreditor Agreement, other than Liens on ABL Priority Collateral) in accordance with the terms set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement and any Liberty Intercreditor Agreement;

- 172 -

(e) [reserved]; and

(f) agrees that no Secured Party shall have any right of action whatsoever against Administrative Agent as a result of any action taken by Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 10.23 or in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement or any Liberty Intercreditor Agreement.

Section 10.24 Intercreditor Agreement Governs. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement in all respects and, in the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the lien and security interest granted to the Administrative Agent or the Term Agent, as applicable, pursuant to any Loan Document or Term Document, and the exercise of any right or remedy in respect of the Collateral by the Administrative Agent or the Term Agent, as applicable hereunder, under any other Loan Document, or under the Term Credit Agreement and any other agreement entered into in connection therewith are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and in the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, the Term Credit Agreement and any other agreement entered into in connection therewith, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control with respect to the exercise of any such right or remedy or the Loan Parties’ covenants and obligations.

Section 10.28 Acknowledgment Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Swap Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

(a) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

(b) As used in this Section 10.28, the following terms have the following meanings:

“BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

“Covered Entity” means any of the following:

(i)

a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b);

(ii)

a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or

- 175 -

(iii)

a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).
