the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Company of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Company (or other party on behalf of the Company) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Company for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Company of any default in the payment thereof.

(d) The agreement of the Swingline Lender to make Swingline Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05 shall automatically terminate on the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date. Upon such termination, the Company shall immediately repay the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, in full the principal amount of the Swingline Loans then outstanding, together with all accrued interest thereon and all other amounts due and payable hereunder.

(e) The Swingline Loans made by the Swingline Lender shall be evidenced by a promissory note of the Company (the “Swingline Note”), substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, appropriately completed, duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Company and payable to the Swingline Lender in a principal amount equal to the Swingline Commitment. The Swingline Note shall (a) be dated the Closing Date, (b) be stated to mature on the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date, and (c) bear interest from the date thereof until paid in full on the unpaid principal amount thereof from time to time outstanding as provided in Section 3.01 hereof. The Swingline Lender is authorized to record the date and amount of each Swingline Loan and the date and amount of each payment or prepayment of principal of each Swingline Loan in the Swingline Lender’s records or on the grid schedule annexed to the Swingline Note; provided, however, that the failure of the Swingline Lender to set forth each such Swingline Loan, payment and other information shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Company to repay each Swingline Loan made by the Swingline Lender in accordance with the terms of the Swingline Note and this Agreement. Subject to Section 10.05(d), the Swingline Note, the grid schedule and the books and records of the Swingline Lender shall constitute presumptive evidence of the information so recorded absent demonstrable error.

SECTION 2.06 Letters of Credit.

(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for its own account, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender, at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Company to, or entered into by the Company with, the Issuing Lender relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. The letters of credit identified on Schedule 2.06 (the “Existing Letters of Credit”) shall be deemed to be “Letters of Credit” issued on the Closing Date for all purposes of the Loan Documents.

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Company shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Lender) to the Issuing Lender and the

Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the Issuing Lender, the Company also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Lender’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Company shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed $5,000,000, (ii) the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures shall not exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, (iii) no Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and (iv) the Aggregate Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Borrowing Base.

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date; provided that, any Letter of Credit may contain customary automatic renewal provisions agreed upon by the Company and the Issuing Lender pursuant to which the expiration date of such Letter of Credit shall be automatically extended for a period of up to 12 months (but not to a date later than the date set forth in clause (ii) above); provided, further, that a Letter of Credit may expire up to one year beyond the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date so long as the Company cash collateralizes 105% of the face amount of such Letter of Credit on the date of issuance or renewal or extension of such Letter of Credit.

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Lender or the Lenders, the Issuing Lender hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Lender, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Commitment Proportion of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, such Lender’s Commitment Proportion of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Lender and not reimbursed by the Company on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Company for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire 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, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e) Reimbursement. If the Issuing Lender shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Company shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Company shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Company prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on (i) the Business Day that the Company receives such notice, if such notice is received prior

to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day of receipt, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Company receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that, if such LC Disbursement is not less than $100,000, the Company may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.01 or 2.05 that such payment be financed with an Revolving Credit Loan or a Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Company’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Revolving Credit Loan or Swingline Loan. If the Company fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Company in respect thereof and such Lender’s Commitment Proportion thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Commitment Proportion of the payment then due from the Company, in the same manner as provided in Section 3.11 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 3.11 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Company pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Lender or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Lender, then to such Lenders and the Issuing Lender as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Lender for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of an Revolving Credit Loan or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Company of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The Company’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Company’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the Issuing Lender, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Lender; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Lender from liability to the Company to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Company to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Company that are caused by the Issuing Lender’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Lender (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender may, in its reasonable discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Lender shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Company by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Lender has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Company of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Lender and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Lender shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Company shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Company reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to Alternate Base Rate Loans; provided that, if the Company fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 3.01(d) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Lender, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse the Issuing Lender shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i) Replacement of the Issuing Lender. The Issuing Lender may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Company, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Lender and the successor Issuing Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Lender. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Company shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.04. From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Lender, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Lenders, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Lender hereunder, the replaced Issuing Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Company receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Company shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Secured Parties, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Company described in clause (g) or (h) of Article VIII. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Company under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Company’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the

Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Lender for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Company for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 51% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Company under this Agreement. If the Company is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (together with all interest and other earnings, if any, with respect thereto and to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Company within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

SECTION 2.07 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.04;

(b) the Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.02); provided, that this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender affected thereby;

(i) all or any part of the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Proportions but only to the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Commitments;

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Company shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Lender only the Company’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.06(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

(iii) if the Company cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Company shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.04(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;

(iv) if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 3.04(a) and Section 3.04(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitment Proportions; and

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Lender or any other Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 3.04(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Lender until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and

(d) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding LC Exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Credit Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Company in accordance with Section 2.07(c), and participating interests in any newly made Swingline Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.07(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

If (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to a Parent of any Lender shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Lender has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the Company or such Lender, satisfactory to the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Company, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Lender each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Commitment Proportion.

PROVISIONS RELATING TO ALL EXTENSIONS OF CREDIT;

FEES AND PAYMENTS

(a) Each Alternate Base Rate Loan shall bear interest for the period from the date thereof on the unpaid principal amount thereof at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) Each Adjusted Libor Loan shall bear interest for the Interest Period applicable thereto on the unpaid principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the Reserve Adjusted Libor determined for each Interest Period thereof in accordance with the terms hereof plus the Applicable Margin.

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (excluding any defaulted payment which is addressed in clause (d) below), the outstanding principal amount of the Loans, shall, at the option of the Required Lenders, bear interest payable on demand at a rate of interest 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise then in effect or, if no rate is in effect, 2% per annum in excess of the Alternate Base Rate.

(d) If the Company shall default in the payment of the principal of, or interest on, any portion of any Loan or any other amount becoming due hereunder, including, without limitation, reimbursement of drawings under Letters of Credit, whether with respect to interest, fees, expenses or otherwise, the Company shall on demand from time to time pay additional interest on such defaulted amount accruing from the date of such default (without reference to any period of grace) up to and including the date of actual payment (after as well as before judgment) calculated as follows: the amount of such past due payment of principal, interest, fees or expenses times (a) 2% per annum in excess of the rate otherwise in effect or, if no rate is in effect, 2% per annum in excess of the Alternate Base Rate times (b) the number of days that such payment is past due, determined on a year of 360 days.

(e) The Company may elect from time to time to convert outstanding Loans from Adjusted Libor Loans to Alternate Base Rate Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least three Business Day’s prior irrevocable written notice of such election, provided that any such conversion of Adjusted Libor Loans shall only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto or upon the date of payment in full of any amounts owing pursuant to Section 3.08 as a result of such conversion. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. The Company may elect from time to time to convert outstanding Loans from Alternate Base Rate Loans to Adjusted Libor Loans by giving the Administrative Agent irrevocable written notice of such election not later than 1:00 p.m. New York, New York time, three Business Days prior to the date of the proposed conversion. Upon receipt of such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. All or any part of outstanding Alternate Base Rate Loans may be converted as provided herein, provided that each conversion shall be in the principal amount of $500,000 or whole multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof, and further provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Any conversion to or from Adjusted Libor Loans hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of all Adjusted Libor Loans having the same Interest Period shall not be less than $500,000. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Loans, which may not be converted or continued.

(f) Any Adjusted Libor Loan in a minimum principal amount of $500,000 may be continued as such upon the expiration of an Interest Period with respect thereto by compliance by the Company with the notice provisions contained in the definition of Interest Period; provided, that, if the Administrative Agent (at the request of the Required Lenders) so notifies the Company, no Adjusted Libor Loan may be continued as such when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, but shall be automatically converted to an Alternate Base Rate Loan on the last day of the Interest Period in effect when the Administrative Agent is notified, or otherwise has actual knowledge, of such Default or Event of Default.

(g) If the Company shall fail to select the duration of any Interest Period for any Adjusted Libor Loan in accordance with the definition of “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.01, the Company shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month.

(h) No Loan may be funded as an Adjusted Libor Loan or converted to or continued as an Adjusted Libor Loan with an Interest Period that extends beyond the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date, with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans, or the Term Loan Maturity Date, with respect to the Term Loan.

(i) Interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date and shall be calculated on the basis 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 shall be payable for the actual days elapsed. Any rate of interest on the Loans or other Obligations which is computed on the basis of the Alternate Base Rate shall change when and as the Alternate Base Rate changes in accordance with the definition thereof. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall, absent demonstrable error, be conclusive and binding for all purposes.

(j) Anything in this Agreement or in any Note to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligation of the Company to make payments of interest shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required to be paid to a Lender to the extent that the charging or receipt thereof would not be permissible under the law or laws applicable to such Lender limiting the rates of interest that may be charged or collected by such Lender. In each such event payments of interest required to be paid to such Lender shall be calculated at the highest rate permitted by applicable law until such time as the rates of interest required hereunder may lawfully be charged and collected by such Lender. If the provisions of this Agreement or any Note would at any time otherwise require payment by the Company to any Lender of any amount of interest in excess of the maximum amount then permitted by applicable law, the interest payments to such Lender shall be reduced to the extent necessary so that such Lender shall not receive interest in excess of such maximum amount.

SECTION 3.02 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loans shall be solely used to finance the working capital needs and general corporate purposes of the Company in the ordinary course of business. The Swingline Loans shall be used by the Company for general working capital and other corporate purposes. Commercial Letters of Credit shall be issued by the Issuing Lender hereunder for the account of the Company and shall be issued for the purpose of providing the primary payment mechanism in connection with the purchase of any materials, goods or services by the Company in the ordinary course of its business. Standby Letters of Credit shall be issued by the Issuing Lender for the account of the Company and shall be issued for purposes in connection with, and in the ordinary course of, the business of the Company consistent with historical purposes of standby letters of credit issued for the account of the Company prior to the date hereof.

SECTION 3.03 Prepayments.

(a) The Company may, at any time and from time to time, prepay the then outstanding Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, except as provided in Section 3.08 hereof, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) not later than 11:00 a.m. New York, New York time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment with respect to prepayments of Adjusted Libor Loans, or 11:00 a.m. New York, New York time one Business Day before the date of prepayment with respect to Alternate Base Rate Loans (including a Swingline Loan). Each notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the date and amount of repayment and whether such repayment is of the Revolving Credit Loans or the Term Loan and whether such repayment is of Adjusted Libor Loans or Alternate Base Rate Loans or a combination thereof, and if a combination thereof, the amount of repayment allocable to each; provided that, a notice of optional prepayment may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the receipt of the proceeds from the incurrence of other Indebtedness or any other event, in which case such notice of prepayment may be revoked by the Company (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date) if such condition is not satisfied. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. If such notice is given and not revoked, the Company shall make such prepayment, and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable, on the date specified therein. Each partial prepayment pursuant to this Section 3.03 of (x) Alternate Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $100,000 or whole multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof and (y) of Adjusted LIBOR Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or whole multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof.

(b) Each prepayment of principal of a Loan pursuant to this Section 3.03 (including clauses (c) and (d) below) shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date prepaid on the amount prepaid and all amounts, if any, due pursuant to Section 3.08 hereof. Prepayments shall be applied first to prepay the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan (to the remaining scheduled principal installments set forth in the table in Section 2.04 in the inverse order of maturity) and then to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Loans. Prepayments of the Term Loan may not be reborrowed. Partial prepayments of any Loan shall be applied first to outstanding Alternate Base Rate Loans and then to Adjusted Libor Loans having the shortest remaining Interest Periods. Prepayments of Adjusted Libor Loans shall be accompanied by the amounts, if any, due pursuant to Section 3.08.

(c) In the event the Aggregate Credit Exposure exceeds the Borrowing Base, the Company shall prepay Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.

(d) In the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in respect of any Prepayment Event, the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days after such Net Proceeds are received by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, prepay the Obligations as set forth in Section 3.03(b) above in an aggregate amount equal to the Applicable Prepayment Percentage of such Net Proceeds, provided that, in the case of any event described in clause (a) or (b) of the definition of the term “Prepayment Event”, if the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Financial Officer to the effect that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries intend to apply the Net Proceeds from such event (or a portion thereof specified in such certificate), within 90days after receipt of such Net Proceeds, to acquire (or replace or rebuild) real property, equipment or other tangible assets (excluding inventory) to be used in the business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and certifying that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then no prepayment shall be required pursuant to this paragraph in respect of the Net Proceeds specified in such certificate; provided that, to the extent of any such Net Proceeds therefrom that have not been so applied by the end of such 90-day period (or committed to be applied by the end of the 90 day period and applied within 90 days after the end of such 90 day period), at which time a prepayment shall be required in an amount equal to such Net Proceeds that have not been so applied.

SECTION 3.04 Fees.

(a) The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of, and pro rata distribution to, each Lender a commitment fee on the average daily unused portion of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment(calculated without giving effect to any Swingline Exposure) from the Closing Date until the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date at a rate per annum equal to the Unused Fee Rate, based upon a year of 360 days, payable quarterly, in arrears, on the last day of each December, March, June, and September of each year, commencing June 30, 2012, on the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date, and on each date the Revolving Credit Commitment is permanently reduced in whole or in part; provided that, if such Lender continues to have any Revolving Credit Exposure after its Revolving Credit Commitment terminates, then such commitment fee shall continue to accrue on the daily amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure from and including the date on which its Revolving Credit Commitment terminates to but excluding the date on which such Lender ceases to have any Revolving Credit Exposure.

(b) The Company agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at

the same Applicable Margin used to determine the interest rate applicable to Adjusted Libor Loans on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to the Issuing Lender a fronting fee equal to one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as the Issuing Lender’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the third Business Day following such last day, 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 Credit Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Lender pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within ten (10) days after demand. All participation fees and 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).

(c) The Company agrees to pay to the Issuing Lender, on demand, in addition to the amounts set forth in clause (b) all standard fees and commissions charged by the Issuing Lender with respect to the issuance and maintenance of letters of credit, (including, without limitation, amendments to letters of credit) which fees and commissions are provided for in schedules available from the Issuing Lender, and which fees and commissions may change from time to time without notice to the Company.

(d) The Company agrees to pay the Administrative Agent for the Administrative Agent’s own account, such agency, syndication and other fees as separately agreed between the Administrative Agent and the Company.

SECTION 3.05 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. In the event that the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company absent manifest error) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Reserve Adjusted Libor applicable pursuant to Section 3.01(b) for any requested Interest Period with respect to (a) the making of an Adjusted Libor Loan, (b) an Adjusted Libor Loan that will result from the requested conversion of an Alternate Base Rate Loan into an Adjusted Libor Loan, or (c) the continuation of an Adjusted Libor Loan beyond the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice by telephone of such determination, promptly confirmed in writing, to the Company of such determination. Until the Administrative Agent notifies the Company that the circumstances giving rise to the suspension described herein no longer exist (which notification will be provided as promptly as practicable after such circumstances no longer exist), the Company shall not have the right to request or continue an Adjusted Libor Loan or to convert an Alternate Base Rate Loan to an Adjusted Libor Loan.

SECTION 3.06 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if any introduction of or change, on or after the date hereof, in any law, regulation, treaty or directive or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Adjusted Libor Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, such Lender shall forthwith give notice by telephone of such circumstances, promptly confirmed in writing, to the Administrative Agent, which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to the Company and the other Lenders and (a) the

commitment of such Lender to make and to allow conversion to or continuations of Adjusted Libor Loans shall forthwith be cancelled for the duration of such illegality and (b) the Loans then outstanding as Adjusted Libor Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Alternate Base Rate Loans on the next succeeding last day of each Interest Period applicable to such Adjusted Libor Loans or, within such earlier period as may be required by law. The Company shall pay to such Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts required to be paid pursuant to Section 3.08 hereof.

SECTION 3.07 Increased Costs.

(a) In the event that any introduction of or change, on or after the date hereof, in any applicable law, regulation, treaty, order, directive or in the interpretation or application thereof (including, without limitation, any request, guideline or policy, whether or not having the force of law, of or from any central bank or other governmental authority, agency or instrumentality and including, without limitation, Regulation D), by any authority charged with the administration or interpretation thereof shall occur, which:

(i) shall subject the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) 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

(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement (whether or not having the force of law) against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of any Lender or the Issuing Lender; or

(iii) shall impose on any Lender or the Issuing Lender any other condition, cost or expense, or change therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Administrative Agent or such Lender of making, renewing or maintaining or participating in advances or extensions of credit hereunder or to increase the cost to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Lender of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Creditor or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder, in each case by an amount which the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Lender reasonably deems material, then, in any such case, following the delivery of the certificate contemplated by clause (c) of this Section, the Company shall pay the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Lender, such additional amount or amounts as such Lender or the Issuing Lender shall have determined will compensate the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Lender for such increased costs or reduction. It is understood and agreed that, for purposes of this Agreement, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder, issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof, and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, are in each case deemed to have gone into effect and adopted after the date of this Agreement.

(b) If any Lender or the Issuing Lender shall have determined that the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy or liquidity, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any

Lender or the Issuing Lender (or any lending office of any Lender or the Issuing Lender) or any Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company, with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity (whether or not having the force of the law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity) by an amount reasonably deemed by such Lender or the Issuing Lender to be material, then from time to time following the delivery of the certificate contemplated by clause (c) of this Section, the Company shall pay to such Lender, the additional amount or amounts as such Lender or the Issuing Lender shall have determined will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender holding company for such reduction. Such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s determination of such amounts shall be conclusive and binding on the Company absent manifest error.

(c) A certificate of (a) the applicable Lender or the Issuing Lender setting forth the amount or amounts payable pursuant to Sections 3.07(a) and 3.07(b) above and setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount or amounts was determined shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Company shall pay any Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten days after receipt thereof.

(d) In the event any Lender or the Issuing Lender shall be entitled to compensation pursuant to Section 3.07(a) or Section 3.07(b), it shall notify the Administrative Agent and Company of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled; provided, however, no failure on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Lender to demand compensation under clause (a) or clause (b) above on one occasion shall constitute a waiver of its right to demand compensation on any other occasion; provided that the Company shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Company of the adoption, change or compliance giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s, as the case may be, intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the event giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 3.08 Indemnity. The Company agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur, including, without limitation, interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain Adjusted Libor Loans hereunder, as a consequence of (a) default by the Company in payment of the principal amount of or interest on any Adjusted Libor Loan, (b) default by the Company to accept or make a borrowing of an Adjusted Libor Loan or a conversion into or continuation of an Adjusted Libor Loan after the Company have requested such borrowing, conversion or continuation, (c) default by the Company in making any prepayment of any Adjusted Libor Loan after the Company gives notice in accordance with Section 3.03 of this Agreement and/or (d) the making of any payment or prepayment (whether mandatory or optional) of an Adjusted Libor Loan or the making of any conversion of an Adjusted Libor Loan to an Alternate Base Rate Loan on a day which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period with respect thereto. A certificate of a Lender setting forth such amounts and the basis therefore and setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount or amounts was determined shall be delivered to the Company and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Company shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any certificate within ten days after receipt thereof. This Section 3.08 shall survive termination of this Agreement and payment of the Secured Obligations.

SECTION 3.09 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Company under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Company shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings of Indemnified Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.09) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) The Company shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for, Other Taxes.

(c) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Company to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.09, the Company shall deliver to the 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.

(d) The Company shall indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient 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 were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Company 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.

(e) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Company has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Company to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.05(b) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) 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, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. 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 (e).

(f) (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 Company and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Company 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 Company or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Company 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 Section 3.09(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) 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) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Company is a U.S. Person,

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

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

(2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Company within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-2 or Exhibit J-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Company or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. Federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Company or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Recipient under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Recipient were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Recipient shall deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Company and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Recipient has complied with such Recipient’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Company and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g) 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 3.09 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.09), 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 3.09 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 (g) (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 (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g)

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 indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph 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.

(h) Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.09 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

(i) For purposes of this Section 3.09, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Lender.

SECTION 3.10 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.

(a) Each borrowing by the Company from the Lenders, each conversion of a Loan pursuant to Section 3.01(e) or continuation of a Loan pursuant to Section 3.01(f), each payment by the Company on account of any fee (other than with respect to fees for the account of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender described in Section 3.04, reimbursements by the Company to the Issuing Lender with respect to drawings under Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.06 and payments to the Swingline Lender of Swingline Loans) and any reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders hereunder shall be made pro rata according to the respective Commitment Proportions of the Lenders. Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Company on account of principal of and interest on each Loan shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of such Loans held by each Lender. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Company on account of principal, interest, fees and reimbursement obligations shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders (except as specified in Sections 2.06(e) and Section 3.04) at the Payment Office of the Administrative Agent in Dollars in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds by wire transfer of each Lender’s portion of such payment to such Lender for the account of its lending office. The Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, directly charge principal and interest payments due in respect of the Loans to the Company’s accounts at the Payment Office or other office of the Administrative Agent. The Issuing Lender may, in its sole discretion, directly charge reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit to the Company’s accounts at any office of the Issuing Lender. Except as otherwise provided in the definition of “Interest Period”, if any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

(b) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05(c), 2.06(d) or (e), 3.11(b) or 9.05, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations to it under such Section until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable judgment.

SECTION 3.11 Funding and Disbursements of Loans.

(a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder available to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office for the account of such office and the Administrative Agent by 1:00 p.m. New York, New York time on the Borrowing Date in Dollars in immediately available funds in an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Proportion of the borrowing on such Borrowing Date, provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.05. Unless any applicable condition specified in Article V has not been satisfied, the amount so received by the Administrative Agent will be made available to the Company (i) at the Payment Office by crediting the account of the Company, or (ii) by wire transfer to such other account specified in writing in advance by the Company, in each case, with such amount and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that if the proceeds of any Loan or any portion thereof are to be used to prepay outstanding Loans, then the Administrative Agent shall apply such proceeds for such purpose to extent necessary and credit the balance, if any, to the Company’s account; provided further that Revolving Credit Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Lender.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a proposed Borrowing Date that such Lender will not make the amount which would constitute its Commitment Proportion of the borrowing on such Borrowing Date available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such Borrowing Date, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Company a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent until a date after such Borrowing Date, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent on demand interest on such Lender’s Commitment Proportion of such borrowing at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation during such period, from and including such Borrowing Date to the date on which such Lender’s Commitment Proportion of such borrowing shall have become immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts due pursuant to this Section 3.11(b) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligations to fulfill its commitment hereunder or to prejudice any right which the Company may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

SECTION 3.12 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.07, or if the Company is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.09, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different 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 reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.07 or 3.09, 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 Company hereby agrees to pay all reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.07, or if the Company is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.09, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate (and, subject to the last two sentences of this Section, such Lender agrees to

assign and delegate), without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.05), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Company shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and if a Revolving Credit Commitment is being assigned, the Issuing Lender), which consent or consents, as applicable, shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Company (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.07 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.09, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to prejudice any right that the Company or any Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender may have against any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender.

ARTICLE IX

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

SECTION 9.01 Appointment, Powers and Immunities. Each Lender and the Issuing Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as its agent hereunder, under the Security Documents and the other Loan Documents with such powers as are

specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement, the Security Documents and the other Loan Documents together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Security Documents and the other Loan Documents and shall not be a trustee for any Lender or the Issuing Lender, nor is the Administrative Agent acting in a fiduciary capacity of any kind under this Agreement, the Security Documents or the other Loan Documents or in respect thereof or in respect of any Lender or the Issuing Lender. Except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to the Lenders or the Issuing Lender for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties contained in this Agreement, the Security Documents, or the other Loan Documents, in any certificate or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any of them under, this Agreement, the Security Documents or the other Loan Documents, or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, the Security Documents or the other Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or for the collectibility of the Loans or for the validity, effectiveness or value of any interest or security covered by the Security Documents or for the value of any collateral or for the validity or effectiveness of any assignment, mortgage, pledge, security agreement, financing statement, document or instrument, or for the filing, recording, re-filing, continuing or re-recording of any thereof or for any failure by the Company, or any of their respective Subsidiaries to perform any of its obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent may take all actions by itself and/or it may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact, and shall not be responsible, except as to money or the securities received by it or its authorized agents, for the negligence or misconduct of itself or its employees or of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact, if such agents or attorneys-in-fact are selected by it with reasonable care. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable or responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder, under the Security Documents or the other Loan Documents or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

SECTION 9.02 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice or other communication (including any thereof by telephone, telex, telegram or cable) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement, the Security Documents or the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder, under the Security Documents or the other Loan Documents in accordance with instructions signed by the Required Lenders, or such other number of Lenders as is specified in Section 10.04 hereof, and such instructions of the Required Lenders or other number of Lenders as aforesaid and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders.

SECTION 9.03 Events of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of the occurrence of a Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Company specifying such Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of a Default, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall (subject to Section 9.07 hereof) take such action with respect to such Default as shall be directed by the Required Lenders, except as otherwise provided in Section 10.04 hereof; provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or an Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Lenders.

SECTION 9.04 Rights as a Lender. With respect to its Commitment and the Loans made by it, the Administrative Agent in its capacity as a Lender hereunder shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not acting as the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may (without having to account therefor to any Lender) accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with the Company, any Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates, if it were not acting as the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may accept fees and other consideration from the Company, any Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates, for services in connection with this Agreement, the Security Documents or any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

SECTION 9.05 Indemnification. The Lenders shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Company under Section 10.03 hereof), ratably in accordance with the aggregate principal amount of the Loans made by the Lenders (or, if no Loans are at the time outstanding, ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments), for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Security Documents or any of the other Loan Documents or any other documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, without limitation, the costs and expenses which the Company are obligated to pay under Section 10.03 hereof or under the applicable provisions of any other Loan Document) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or of the Security Documents, or of any other Loan Document, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 9.06 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of the Company and the Guarantors and decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, the Security Documents or the other Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Company and the Guarantors of this Agreement, the Security Documents or the other Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or to inspect the properties or books of the Company or any Guarantor. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder or under the Security Documents, or the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or ability to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of the Company, which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates.

SECTION 9.07 Failure to Act. Except for action expressly required of the Administrative Agent hereunder, or under the Security Documents, the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder or thereunder unless it shall be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

SECTION 9.08 Resignation of Administrative Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this Section 9.08, the Administrative Agent may resign (the “resigning Agent”) at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Company. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor, which successor agent shall, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, be subject to the approval of the Company, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the resigning Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the resigning Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning Agent, and the resigning Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Company to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Company and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such resigning Agent in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 9.09 Sharing of Collateral and Payments. In the event that at any time any Lender shall obtain payment in respect of a Note or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, set-off or counterclaim against the Company or otherwise, in a greater proportion than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the corresponding Note held by it or interest thereon, then the Lender so receiving such greater proportionate payment shall purchase for cash from the other Lender or Lenders such portion of each such other Lender’s or Lenders’ Loan, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Lender receiving the proportionate over-payment to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders each of which shall have a lien on its ratable portion of the amount described hereinafter obtained from the Company; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from the Lender which received the proportionate over-payment, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The Company agree, to the extent they may do so under applicable law, that each Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lender’s Loan may exercise all rights of payment (including, without limitation, rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Lender were the direct holder of such portion.

SECTION 9.10 Miscellaneous.

(a) None of the Lenders, if any, identified in this Agreement as a Syndication Agent or Co-Documentation Agent shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of such Lenders shall have or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender hereby makes the same acknowledgments with respect to the relevant Lenders in their respective capacities as Syndication Agent or Co-Documentation Agents, as applicable, as it makes with respect to the Administrative Agent in the preceding paragraph.

(b) Except with respect to the exercise of setoff rights of any Lender, in accordance with Section 10.10, the proceeds of which are applied in accordance with this Agreement, each Lender

agrees that it will not take any action, nor institute any actions or proceedings, against the Company or with respect to any Loan Document, without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders or, as may be provided in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, with the consent of the Administrative Agent.

(c) The Lenders are not partners or co-venturers, and no Lender shall be liable for the acts or omissions of, or (except as otherwise set forth herein in case of the Administrative Agent) authorized to act for, any other Lender. The Administrative Agent shall have the exclusive right on behalf of the Lenders to enforce the payment of the principal of and interest on any Loan after the date such principal or interest has become due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(d) Each Lender hereby agrees that (a) it has requested a copy of each Report prepared by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent; (b) the Administrative Agent (i) makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the completeness or accuracy of any Report or any of the information contained therein or any inaccuracy or omission contained in or relating to a Report and (ii) shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report; (c) the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, and that any Person performing any field examination will inspect only specific information regarding the Loan Parties and will rely significantly upon the Loan Parties’ books and records, as well as on representations of the Loan Parties’ personnel and that the Administrative Agent undertakes no obligation to update, correct or supplement the Reports; (d) it will keep all Reports confidential and strictly for its internal use, not share the Report with any Person except as otherwise permitted pursuant to this Agreement; and (e) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, it will pay and protect, and indemnify, defend, and hold the Administrative Agent and any such other Person preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including reasonable attorney fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent or such other Person as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender.

(e) In its capacity, the Administrative Agent is a “representative” of the Secured Parties within the meaning of the term “secured party” as defined in the UCC. Each Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent to enter into each of the Security Documents to which it is a party and to take all action contemplated by such documents. Each Lender agrees that no Secured Party (other than the Administrative Agent) shall have the right individually to seek to realize upon the security granted by any Security Document, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties upon the terms of the Security Documents. In the event that any Collateral is hereafter pledged by any Person as collateral security for the Secured Obligations, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized, and hereby granted a power of attorney, to execute and deliver on behalf of the Secured Parties any Loan Documents necessary or appropriate to grant and perfect a Lien on such Collateral in favor of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties. The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the Administrative Agent upon any Collateral (i) as described in Section 10.04(b); (ii) as permitted by, but only in accordance with, the terms of the applicable Loan Document; or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders, unless such release is required to be approved by all of the Lenders hereunder. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant hereto. Upon any sale or transfer of assets constituting Collateral which is permitted pursuant to the terms of any Loan Document, or consented to in writing by the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as applicable, and upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written request by the Company to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the

Secured Parties herein or pursuant hereto upon the Collateral that was sold or transferred; provided, however, that (i) the Administrative Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the Administrative Agent’s reasonable opinion, would expose the Administrative Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Secured Obligations or any Liens upon (or obligations of the Company or any Subsidiary in respect of) all interests retained by the Company or any Subsidiary, including (without limitation) the proceeds of the sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.

SECTION 10.04 Amendments and Waivers.

(a) With the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Company may, from time to time, enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Company hereunder or thereunder, and with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders may execute and deliver to the Company a written instrument waiving, on such terms and conditions as the Administrative Agent may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents or any Event of Default; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, or supplement or modification shall (i) extend the maturity of any Note, or change the amortization schedule of any Term Note, or any installment thereof, (ii) reduce the amount payable or rate, or extend the time of payment of interest, on any Note or any fees payable to the Lenders hereunder, (iii) reduce the principal amount of any Note, (iv) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 10.04, (v) amend or modify any provision hereof specifying the percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination granting consent hereunder or reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders, (vi) change any provision of Section 3.10 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby; (vii) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Company or any Guarantor of any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (viii) release all or substantially all of the collateral security granted to the Administrative Agent under the Security Documents, (ix) release all or substantially all of the Guarantors from the Guaranty or (x) increase the advance rates set forth in the definition of Borrowing Base or add new categories of eligible assets, in each case specified in clauses (i) through (x) above without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; and provided, further, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (I) amend, modify, supplement or waive any provision of Section IX with respect to the Administrative Agent without the written consent of the Administrative Agent or (II) increase the amount of any Lenders’ Commitment without the written consent of such Lender. Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Company, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Notes.

(b) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its sole discretion, to release any Liens granted to the Administrative Agent by the Company or any Guarantor on any Collateral (i) upon the termination of all the Commitments, payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Secured Obligations (other than Unliquidated Obligations), and the cash collateralization of all Unliquidated Obligations (other than unmatured or contingent obligations related to indemnification obligations under Section 10.03 for which no written request has been made) in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if the Company certifies to the Administrative Agent that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry), (iii) constituting property leased to the Company or any Subsidiary under a lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement, or (iv) as required to effect any sale or other disposition of such Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of

the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Article IX. Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of the Company and the Guarantors in respect of) all interests retained by the Company and the Guarantors, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein the Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Company only, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency.

(d) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of “each Lender” or “each Lender directly affected thereby,” the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Company may elect to replace a Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement, provided that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity which is reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Administrative Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Loans and other Obligations due to the Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of clause (c) of Section 10.05, and (ii) the Company shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement (1) all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Non-Consenting Lender by the Company hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Non-Consenting Lender under Sections 3.06, 3.07, 3.08 and 3.09, and (2) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 3.08 had the Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender.

SECTION 10.05 Successors and Assigns; Participations.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, all future holders of the Notes and their respective successors and assigns, except that (i) the Company may not assign or transfer any of their rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Lender and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section.

(b) Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its commercial banking business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks or other financial institutions (“Participants”) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes under this Agreement, and the Company and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. The Company agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.07, 3.08 and 3.09 with respect to its participation in the Commitments, the Loans and Letters of Credit outstanding from time to time (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.09(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.09(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)); provided, however, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to such sections than the Transferor Lender would have

been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Company, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans, Notes, Commitments or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Loan, Note, Commitment or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Loan, Note, Commitment or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. No Participant shall have the right to consent to any amendment to, or waiver of, any provision of this Agreement, except the transferor Lender may provide in its agreement with the Participant that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment or waiver described in clause (i) through clause (ix) of Section 10.04(a).

(c) Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its commercial banking business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to any Lender or any domestic banking affiliate thereof, and, with the consent of the Administrative Agent, and, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the consent of the Company, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, to one or more additional banks or financial institutions (“Purchasing Lenders”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Notes pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, executed by such Purchasing Lender, such transferor Lender and the Administrative Agent, and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance. Upon such execution, delivery and acceptance from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, (i) the Purchasing Lender thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with Commitments as set forth therein and (ii) the transferor Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement covering all or the remaining portion of a transferor Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such transferor Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). Such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing Lender and the resulting adjustment of Commitment Proportions arising from the purchase by such Purchasing Lender of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such transferor Lender under or in respect of this Agreement and the Notes. On or prior to the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, the Company, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, in exchange for the surrendered Note, a new Note to such Purchasing Lender in an amount equal to the Commitments assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and, if the transferor Lender has retained any Commitment hereunder, a new Note to the transferor Lender in an amount equal to such Commitment retained by it hereunder. Such new Notes shall be in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of such surrendered Note, shall be dated the date of the Note they replace and shall otherwise be in the form of the Note replaced thereby. The Note surrendered by the transferor Lender shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Company marked “cancelled”. Anything in this Section 10.05 to the contrary notwithstanding, no transfer to a Purchasing Lender shall be made pursuant to this paragraph (c) if such transfer by any one transferor Lender to any one Purchasing Lender (other than a Purchasing Lender which is a Lender hereunder prior to such transfer) (x) is less than $5,000,000 in the case of Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Loans of such transferor Lender, (y) is less than

$1,000,000 in the case of Term Loans of such transferor Lender or (z) if less than all of the Commitment of such transferor Lender is transferred, after giving effect to such transfer the amount held by any transferor Lender would be less than $5,000,000. Each transfer to a Purchasing Lender shall be made in the same pro rata portion with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitment and the Term Loan Commitments or, if all or any portion of the Term Loan Commitment shall have expired, the Term Loans.

(d) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Company, shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 10.01 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance Agreement delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the commitments of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error and the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loan recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement executed by a transferor Lender and a Purchasing Lender, together with payment by the Purchasing Lender to the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500, the Administrative Agent shall (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register, and (iii) give prompt notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Lenders and the Company.

(f) The Company authorizes each Lender (subject to Section 10.11) to disclose to any Participant or Purchasing Lender (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning the Company and the Guarantors which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Company or any Guarantor pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to such Lender by the Company in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of the Company and the Guarantors prior to entering into this Agreement.

(g) If, pursuant to this Section 10.05, any interest in this Agreement, a participation agreement, or any Note is transferred to any transferee which is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or any State thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, (i) to represent to the transferor Lender (for the benefit of the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Company) that under applicable law and treaties no taxes will be required to be withheld by the Administrative Agent, the Company, or the transferor Lender with respect to any payments to be made to such Transferee in respect of the Loans, (ii) to furnish to the Administrative Agent, the transferor Lender and the Company the forms described in Section 3.09 to claim entitlement to complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax on all interest payments hereunder) and (iii) to agree (for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the transferor Lender and the Company) to provide the Administrative Agent, the transferor Lender and the Company, new forms described under Section 3.09 upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form and comparable statements in accordance with applicable U.S. laws and regulations and amendments duly executed and completed by such Transferee, and to comply from time to time with all applicable U.S. laws and regulations with regard to such withholding tax exemption.

(h) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign or grant a security interest in all or any part of its rights under this Agreement and its Notes to a Federal Reserve Bank, provided that no such assignment shall release the transferor Lender from its Commitment or its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party to this Agreement.

SECTION 10.06 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of any Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any Note or any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided or provided in the other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies powers and privileges provided by law.

SECTION 10.07 APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE NOTES SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

SECTION 10.08 SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; JURY WAIVER. THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT AGAINST IT AND RELATED TO OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, AND TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE COMPANY HEREBY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO ASSERT BY WAY OF MOTION, AS A DEFENSE OR OTHERWISE, IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ANY CLAIM THAT IT IS NOT PERSONALLY SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH FEDERAL OR STATE COURTS, THAT THE SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM, THAT THE VENUE OF THE SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IS IMPROPER, OR THAT THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT OR INSTRUMENT REFERRED TO HEREIN OR THEREIN OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF THEREOF MAY NOT BE LITIGATED IN OR BY SUCH FEDERAL OR STATE COURTS. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE COMPANY AGREES NOT TO (i) SEEK AND HEREBY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO ANY REVIEW OF THE JUDGMENT OF ANY SUCH COURT BY ANY COURT OF ANY OTHER NATION OR JURISDICTION WHICH MAY BE CALLED UPON TO GRANT AN ENFORCEMENT OF SUCH JUDGMENT OR (ii) ASSERT ANY COUNTERCLAIM IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING UNLESS SUCH COUNTERCLAIM CONSTITUTES A COMPULSORY OR MANDATORY COUNTERCLAIM UNDER APPLICABLE RULES OF CIVIL PROCEDURE. THE COMPANY AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS MAY BE MADE UPON IT BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL TO THE ADDRESS FOR NOTICES SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY METHOD AUTHORIZED BY THE LAWS OF NEW YORK. EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT. EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY LAW, THE COMPANY WAIVES ANY RIGHT WHICH IT MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER IN ANY LITIGATION REFERRED TO IN THIS SECTION 10.08, ANY SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ANY DAMAGES OTHER THAN, OR IN ADDITION TO, ACTUAL DAMAGES.

OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS ARE RELYING UPON, AMONG OTHER ITEMS, THE WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 10.08.

SECTION 10.09 Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document should be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

SECTION 10.10 Right of Setoff.

As used herein “Confidential Information” shall mean information with respect to the Company, any Guarantor or any of their respective businesses which is not generally available to the public other than such information which after the date hereof becomes generally available to the public through no fault or action by any Lender or becomes available to a Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Company or any Guarantor which to such Lender’s knowledge is not prohibited from disclosing such information by any contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation owed to the Company or any Guarantor.

Schedule I attached hereto

Re: $76,000,000.00 Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special New York counsel to (i) Medical Action Industries Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Borrower”); (ii) MAI Acquisition Corp., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (“Medegen Acquisition Corp”); (iii) Medegen Newco, LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (“Medegen Newco”); (iv) Medegen Medical Products, LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (“Medical Products”); (v) 500 Expressway Drive South LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (“500 Expressway”); and (vi) Avid Medical, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (“Avid”), in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of June 7, 2012 (the “Credit Agreement”), among (A) the Borrower, (B) JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), and (C) the other financial institutions from time to time party thereto as Lenders. This opinion letter is furnished to you pursuant to Section 5.01(c) of the Credit Agreement. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

Other terms that are defined in the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York (the “New York UCC”) have the same meaning when used herein unless otherwise indicated by the context in which such terms are so used. In addition, the following terms have the following meanings: (x) the Borrower, Medegen Acquisition Corp and Avid, are each a “Delaware Corporation” and are together the “Delaware Corporations”; (y) Medegen Newco, Medical Products and 500 Expressway are each a “Delaware LLC” and are together the “Delaware LLCs”; and (z) the Delaware LLCs and the Delaware Corporations are each an “Opinion Party” and are together the “Opinion Parties”.

In rendering the opinions set forth below, we have reviewed an execution copy of the following documents and instruments:

(i) the Credit Agreement;

(ii) the Promissory Notes, each dated June 7, 2012, listed on Schedule II hereto;

(iii) the General Reaffirmation and Modification Agreement, dated as of June 7, 2012, among the Opinion Parties and the Administrative Agent;

(iv) each of the documents listed on Schedule III hereto (the “Applicable Contracts”); and

(v) the Opinion Parties’ constitutive documents listed on Schedule IV hereto (the “Organizational Documents”).

The documents listed in clauses (i) through (iii) above are referred to herein as the “Opinion Documents”. The Opinion Documents and the Organizational Documents are referred to herein as the “Transaction Documents”. Additionally, in rendering the opinions set forth below, we have reviewed such other records, certificates, resolutions and documents as we have deemed appropriate for the purposes of such opinions. As to any facts material to our opinion, we have made no independent investigation of such facts and have relied, to the extent that we deem such reliance proper, upon statements of public officials and officers or other representatives of the Opinion Parties and on the representations and warranties relating to factual matters set forth in the Transaction Documents.

In rendering the opinions expressed below, we have assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, and the conformity to authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies, which assumptions we have not independently verified. In addition, with your permission and without independent investigation, we have made the following assumptions:

(i) Each party to the Transaction Documents (each such party, a “Transaction Party”) is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, except we have not made such assumption as to the Opinion Parties with respect to the matters addressed in our opinion in paragraph 1 below;

(ii) Each Transaction Party has full power and authority (corporate, partnership, limited liability company or otherwise) to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, except we have not made such assumption (A) as to the Delaware LLCs with respect to the matters addressed in the first sentence of our opinion in paragraph 2(a) below, and (B) as to the Delaware Corporations with respect to the matters addressed in the first sentence of our opinion in paragraph 2(b) below;

(iii) Each Transaction Document has been duly executed and delivered by each Transaction Party that is a party thereto, except we have not made such assumption as to the Opinion Parties with respect to the matters addressed in our opinion in paragraph 3 below;

(iv) The execution, delivery and performance by each Transaction Party of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary entity action (corporate, partnership, limited liability company or otherwise) and do not contravene the organizational documents of such Transaction Party, except that we have not made such assumptions (A) as to the Delaware LLCs with respect to the matters

addressed in the second sentence of our opinion in paragraph 2(a) below, (B) as to the Delaware Corporations with respect to the matters addressed in the second sentence of our opinion in paragraph 2(b) below, and (C) as to the Opinion Parties with respect to our opinion in paragraph 5(a) below;

(v) The execution, delivery and performance by each Transaction Party of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party do not conflict with or result in the breach of any document or instrument binding on it, except that we have not made such assumption with respect to the Applicable Contracts or the Organizational Documents, to the extent of our opinions in paragraphs 5(a) and 5(c) below;

(vi) The execution, delivery and performance by each Transaction Party of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party do not contravene any provision of any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award applicable to any of them, except that we have not made such assumption with respect to Applicable Laws (as defined below) applicable to the Opinion Parties, to the extent of our opinion in paragraph 5(b) below;

(vii) No authorization, approval, consent, order, license, franchise, permit or other action by, and no notice to or filing, recording or registration with, any Governmental Authority or any other third party is required for the due execution, delivery and performance by each Transaction Party of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party that has not been duly obtained or made and that is not in full force and effect, except that we have not made such assumption with respect to Governmental Approvals (as defined below) required to be obtained or taken by each Opinion Party as to which we express our opinion in paragraph 6 below;

(viii) The Transaction Documents constitute the valid, binding and enforceable obligations of each party thereto (other than the Opinion Parties to the extent of our opinion in paragraph 4 below); and

(ix) The laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws that are the subject of this opinion letter do not affect the terms of the Transaction Documents or the opinions rendered herein.

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions, qualifications, exceptions and limitations set forth herein, it is our opinion that:

Each Opinion Party is validly existing and is in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

(a) Each Delaware LLC has the limited liability company power and authority to execute and deliver each Opinion Document to which it is a party and to perform its obligations thereunder. The execution and delivery by each Delaware LLC of each Opinion Document to which it is a party and the performance by such Delaware LLC of its obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by all requisite limited liability company action on the part of such Delaware LLC.

(b) Each Delaware Corporation has the corporate power and authority to execute and deliver each Opinion Document to which it is a party and to perform its obligations thereunder. The execution and delivery by each Delaware Corporation of each Opinion Document to which it is a party and the performance by such Delaware Corporation of its obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action on the part of such Delaware Corporation.

Each Opinion Document to which each Opinion Party is a party has been duly executed and delivered by such Opinion Party.

Each Opinion Document to which each Opinion Party is a party constitutes the valid and binding obligation of such Opinion Party enforceable against such Opinion Party in accordance with its terms under the laws of the State of New York.

(a) The execution and delivery by each Opinion Party of each Opinion Document to which it is a party do not, and the performance by such Opinion Party of its obligations thereunder will not, violate such Opinion Party’s Organizational Documents.

(b) The execution and delivery by each Opinion Party of each Opinion Document to which it is a party do not, and the performance by such Opinion Party of its obligations thereunder will not result in any violation by such Opinion Party of any Applicable Law (as defined below).

(c) The execution and delivery by each Opinion Party of each Opinion Document to which it is a party do not, and the performance by such Opinion Party of its obligations thereunder will not, result in any breach or result in a default under any Applicable Contract.

“Applicable Laws” means those laws, rules and regulations of the State of New York and the United States of America and the rules and regulations adopted thereunder that, in our experience, are normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the Opinion Documents. Furthermore, the term “Applicable Laws” does not include, and we express no opinion with regard to (a) any state or federal laws, rules or regulations relating to: (i) pollution or protection of the environment; (ii) zoning, land use, building or construction; (iii) occupational, safety and health or other similar matters; (iv) labor and employee rights and benefits, including, without limitation, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended; (v) the regulation of energy or utilities; (vi) antitrust and trade regulation; (vii) tax; (viii) except as specifically set forth in paragraphs 7 and 8 below, securities; (ix) corrupt practices, including, without limitation, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977; (x) copyrights, patents and trademarks; (xi) communication, telecommunication or similar matters; and (xii) the USA Patriot Act of 2001 and the rules, regulations and policies promulgated thereunder, or any foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department or any enabling legislation or orders relating thereto; and (b) any laws, rules or regulations of any county, municipality or similar political subdivision or any agency or instrumentality thereof.

No Governmental Approval (as defined below) which has not been obtained or taken and is not in full force and effect, is required to be obtained or taken by any Opinion Party to authorize, or is required in connection with, the execution and delivery by such Opinion Party of each Opinion Document to which it is a party or the performance by such Opinion Party of its obligations thereunder, except for routine Governmental Approvals not required to consummate the transactions occurring on the Closing Date but required to be obtained or made after the date of this opinion letter to enable the Opinion Parties to comply with Applicable Laws including those required to maintain the good standing of each Opinion Party.

“Governmental Approvals” means any consent, approval, license or authorization of, or filing, recording or registration with, any Governmental Authority pursuant to any Applicable Laws (as defined in paragraph 5 above).

No Opinion Party is an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Assuming that the Borrower will comply with the provisions of the Credit Agreement relating to the use of proceeds, the execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement by the Borrower and the making of the Loans thereunder, and the application of the proceeds thereof, do not violate Regulation U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

We call to your attention the fact that the Opinion Documents select the internal laws of the State of New York as the governing law thereof. It is our opinion that a federal or state court sitting in New York should honor the parties’ choice of the internal laws of the State of New York as the law applicable to the Opinion Documents.

The opinions set forth above are subject to the following qualifications and exceptions:

(a) The opinions in paragraphs 1 through 3 above are limited in all respects to the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act and the Delaware General Corporation Law, in each case, as published in the Corporation Service Company compilation entitled “Laws Governing Business Entities Annotated Statues and Rules” (Fall 2011 Edition) (collectively, the “Delaware Acts”), as applicable. Our opinions contained herein to the extent they relate to matters of Delaware limited liability company law or Delaware corporate law are based on our review of the Delaware Acts. We have not reviewed any other laws of the State of Delaware, including, without limitation, any interpretations of the Delaware Acts, or retained or relied on any opinion or advice of Delaware counsel. The opinions in paragraph 1 above to the extent they relate to the existence and good standing of the Opinion Parties in the State of Delaware are based solely on the Good Standing Certificates of such Opinion Parties, dated May 30, 2012, issued by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

(b) The enforceability of each Opinion Document and the provisions thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer, moratorium or other laws

now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing), regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law and we express no opinion on the effect of the foregoing on the enforceability of the Opinion Documents and the provisions thereof.

(c) With respect to our opinions set forth in paragraphs 4 and 5 above, we express no opinion with respect to the validity, legally binding effect or enforceability of the following provisions to the extent that they are contained in the Opinion Documents: (i) provisions purporting to release, exculpate, hold harmless, or exempt any person or entity from, or to require indemnification of or by any person or entity for, liability for any matter to the extent that the same are inconsistent with applicable law (including case law) or with public policy; (ii) provisions purporting to waive, subordinate or not give effect to rights to notice, demands, legal defenses or other rights or benefits that cannot be waived, subordinated or rendered ineffective under applicable law; (iii) provisions purporting to provide remedies inconsistent with applicable law; (iv) provisions purporting to render void and of no effect any transfers of any Opinion Party’s rights in any collateral in violation of the terms of the Transaction Documents; (v) provisions relating to powers of attorney, severability or set-offs; (vi) provisions stating that a guarantee will not be affected by a modification of the obligation guaranteed in cases in which that modification materially changes the nature or amount of such obligation; (vii) provisions restricting access to courts or purporting to affect the jurisdiction or venue of courts (other than the state courts of the State of New York); (viii) provisions setting out methods for service of process; (ix) provisions providing that decisions by a party are conclusive or may be made in its sole discretion; or (x) provisions that limit the obligation of a guarantor, co-borrower or co-obligor (or provide for any rights of contribution as against another guarantor or, co-borrower or co-obligor or any other party) based upon the potential unenforceability, invalidity, or voidability of a guarantee or joint obligation under any applicable law, including, without limitation, any state or federal fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance laws. Our opinions are based solely on our reading of the Opinion Documents. We note that enforceability of the Opinion Documents may be affected by the parties course of dealing, or by waivers, modifications or amendments (whether made in writing, orally, or by course of conduct), and we express no opinion on the effect of the foregoing on the enforceability of the Opinion Documents. We have made no examination of, and express no opinion with respect to, any financial, accounting or similar covenant or provision contained in the Opinion Documents to the extent that any such covenant or provision would require a determination as to any financial or accounting matters.

(d) Insofar as our opinions set forth in paragraphs 4 and 9 above relate to the enforceability under New York law of the provisions of the Opinion Documents choosing New York law as the governing law thereof, such opinions are rendered solely in reliance upon the Act of July 19, 1984, ch. 421, 1984 McKinney’s Sess. Law of N.Y. 1406 (codified at N.Y. Gen. Oblig. Law
§§5-1401 (McKinney 1989)) (the “Act”) and are subject to the qualifications that such enforceability (i) as specified in the Act, does not apply to the extent provided to the contrary in subsection two of Section 1-105 of the New York UCC, (ii) may be limited by public policy considerations of any jurisdiction in which enforcement of such provisions is sought, and (iii) is subject to any U.S. Constitutional requirement under the Full Faith and Credit Clause or the Due Process Clause thereof or the exercise of any applicable judicial discretion in favor of another jurisdiction.

(e) We express no opinion herein regarding the enforceability of any provision in an Opinion Document that purports to prohibit, restrict or condition the assignment of the Opinion Party’s rights or obligations under such Opinion Document to the extent that such restriction on assignability is rendered ineffective by Sections 9-406 through 9-409 of the New York UCC.

(f) In rendering the opinion expressed in paragraph 5(c) above: (i) we have not reviewed, and express no opinion with respect to, documents other than the Applicable Contracts, irrespective of whether they secure, support or otherwise relate to or are referred to in the Applicable Contracts or might under certain circumstances result in an event of default or require early payment under any of the Applicable Contracts; (ii) we have made no examination of, and express no opinion with respect to, any financial, accounting or similar covenant or provision contained in such Applicable Contract to the extent that any such covenant or provision would require a determination or computation as to any financial or accounting matters; (iii) we express no opinion as to any breach of any confidentiality provision contained in any Applicable Contract caused by any Opinion Document or any Opinion Party’s actions pursuant thereto or in contemplation thereof; and (iv) our opinion in paragraph 5(c) above is limited to the laws of the State of New York. In every case, we have assumed that a court would enforce the Applicable Contracts as written, and we have limited our opinion to matters readily ascertainable from the face of the Applicable Contracts.

(g) We express no opinion regarding the creation, attachment, perfection or enforceability of any security interest purported to be granted or affirmed pursuant to any Opinion Document.

We express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than: (i) Applicable Laws; and (ii) with respect to our opinions set forth in paragraphs 1 through 3, and 5(a), the Delaware Acts.

This opinion has been prepared in accordance with the customary practice of lawyers who regularly give and lawyers who regularly advise recipients regarding opinions of this kind.

This opinion letter is rendered as of the date set forth above. We expressly disclaim any obligation to update this letter after such date.

This opinion letter is given solely for your benefit in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Opinion Documents and may not be furnished to, or relied upon by, any other person or for any other purpose without our prior written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at your request, we hereby consent to reliance hereon by any future assignee of the Lenders’ interests in the loans under the Credit Agreement pursuant to an assignment that is made and consented to in accordance with the express provisions of Section 10.05(c) of the Credit Agreement, on the condition and understanding that (a) this letter speaks only as of the date hereof, (b) we have no responsibility or obligation to update this letter, to consider its applicability or correctness to any person other than its addressee(s), or to take into account changes in law, facts or any other developments of which we may later become aware, and (c) any such reliance by a future assignee must be actual and reasonable under the circumstances existing at the time of assignment, including any changes in law, facts or any other developments known to or reasonably knowable by the assignee at such time. Furthermore, notwithstanding

the foregoing, we consent to this opinion being furnished (i) to bank examiners and other regulatory authorities should they so request in connection with their normal examinations, (ii) to your and their attorneys, (iii) pursuant to orders or legal process of any court or governmental agency or (iv) in connection with any legal action to which the Administrative Agent or any Lender is a party arising out of the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement.

Very truly yours,

FORM OF PLEDGE AGREEMENT

PLEDGE AGREEMENT, (the “Agreement”), dated as of , 20 , by and between (the “Pledgor”), a corporation, with its principal place of business at and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., a national banking association, having an office at 395 North Service Road, Melville, New York 11747, as Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties as those terms are defined in the Credit Agreement referred to below (in such capacity, the “Pledgee”).

RECITALS

A. Pursuant to a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of June 7, 2012, by and among the [Pledgor] [Medical Action Industries Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”)], the Pledgee, and the Lenders party thereto (as the same may be hereafter amended, modified, restated or supplemented from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), the [Company/Pledgor] will receive loans and other financial accommodations from the Lenders and will incur Secured Obligations.

B. The Pledgor is the beneficial owner of that percentage of the issued and outstanding capital stock or membership or other equity interests of each Non-Domestic Subsidiary (as defined in the Credit Agreement) listed on Schedule A annexed hereto (the “Pledged Companies”) as indicated on such Schedule A.

C. In order to induce the Lenders to enter into the Credit Agreement and to extend credit to the [Company/Pledgor] on and after the date hereof as provided in the Credit Agreement, the Pledgor wishes to grant to the Pledgee security and assurance in order to secure the payment and performance of all the Secured Obligations, and to that effect to pledge to the Pledgee, all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Pledged Companies (the “Pledged Shares”) and all of the membership or other equity interests in the Pledged Companies (the “Pledged Rights”) that are owned by the Pledgor but not to exceed 65% of the issued and outstanding shares of stock or other ownership interests in any Non-Domestic Subsidiary (as defined in the Credit Agreement) (the Pledged Shares and the Pledged Rights, as so limited, collectively, the “Pledged Interests”) including, without limitation, the Pledged Interests listed opposite the name of the Pledgor as more particularly described on Schedule A and, with respect to the Pledged Shares, as represented by the stock certificates referenced thereon.

Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Security Interest. As security for the Secured Obligations, including any and all renewals or extensions thereof, the Pledgor hereby delivers, pledges and assigns to the Pledgee for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties and creates in the Pledgee a security interest in all of the Pledgor’s right, title and interest in and to the Pledged Interests, together with all rights and privileges of the Pledgor with respect thereto, all proceeds, income and profits thereof and all property received with respect to the Pledged Interests in addition thereto, in exchange thereof or in substitution therefor (collectively, the “Collateral”). The Pledgor has delivered or is delivering to the Pledgee, with respect to any Pledged Shares existing on the date hereof and pledged hereunder, certificates evidencing such Pledged Shares, together with undated stock powers duly executed in blank by the Pledgor, if any.

2. Stock Dividends, Options, or Other Adjustments. The Pledgee shall receive, as Collateral, any and all additional shares of stock, membership interests or other property of any kind distributable on or by reason of the Collateral pledged hereunder, whether in the form of or by way of dividends, warrants, partial liquidation, conversion, prepayments or redemptions (in whole or in part), liquidation, or otherwise with the exceptions of cash dividends or other cash distributions to the extent permitted under Section 7(a). If any additional shares of capital stock, instruments, or other property against which a security interest can only be perfected by possession by the Pledgee, which are distributable on or by reason of the Collateral pledged hereunder, shall come into the possession or control of the Pledgor, the Pledgor shall, hold or control in trust and forthwith transfer and deliver the same to the Pledgee subject to the provisions hereof.

3. Delivery of Share Certificates; Stock Powers; Documents. The Pledgor agrees to deliver all share certificates, undated stock powers duly executed in blank, documents, agreements, financing statements, amendments thereto, assignments or other writings as the Pledgee may request to carry out the terms of this Agreement or to protect or enforce the lien and security interest in the Collateral hereunder granted hereby to the Pledgee for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties and further agrees to do and cause to be done, upon the Pledgee’s request, all things reasonably determined by the Pledgee to be necessary to perfect and keep in full force the lien in the Collateral hereunder granted hereby in favor of the Pledgee for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, including, but not limited to, the prompt payment of all documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred in connection with any filings made to perfect or continue the lien and security interest in the Collateral hereunder granted hereby in favor of the Pledgee for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties. The Pledgor agrees to make appropriate entries upon its books and records (including without limitation its stock record and transfer books) disclosing the lien against the Collateral hereunder granted hereby to the Pledgee for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties hereunder. The Pledgor further agrees to promptly deliver to the Pledgee, or cause the corporation or other entity issuing the Collateral to deliver directly to the Pledgee, share certificates or other documents representing Collateral acquired or received after the date of this Agreement with an undated stock power duly executed by the Pledgor in blank. If at any time the Pledgee notifies the Pledgor that additional stock powers endorsed in blank with respect to the Collateral are required, the Pledgor shall promptly execute in blank and deliver such stock powers as the Pledgee may request.

4. Power of Attorney. The Pledgor hereby constitutes and irrevocably appoints the Pledgee, with full power of substitution and revocation by the Pledgee, as Pledgor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, to the full extent permitted by law, at times when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing to affix to certificates and documents representing the Collateral the stock power delivered with respect thereto, to transfer or cause the transfer of the Collateral, or any part thereof on the books of the corporation or other entity issuing the same, to the name of the Pledgee or the Pledgee’s nominee and thereafter to exercise as to such Collateral all the rights, powers and remedies of an owner. The power of attorney granted pursuant to this Agreement and all authority hereby conferred are granted and conferred solely to protect the Pledgee’s and the Lender’s interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Pledgee to exercise any power. This power of attorney shall be irrevocable as one coupled with an interest.

5. Inducing Representations of the Pledgor. The Pledgor makes the following representations and warranties to the Pledgee, each and all of which shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement:

(a) The information concerning the Pledged Companies and the Pledgor’s beneficial ownership of the Pledged Interests thereof that is contained in Schedule A is correct in all respects.

(b) The Pledgor is the sole legal and beneficial owner of, and has good and indefeasible title to, the Pledged Interests pledged by the Pledgor, free and clear of all pledges, liens, security interests and other encumbrances and restrictions on the transfer and assignment thereof, other than the security interest created by this Agreement, and has the unqualified right and authority to execute this Agreement and to pledge the Collateral to the Pledgee as provided for herein.

(c) There are no outstanding options, warrants or other agreements to which the Pledged Companies or the Pledgor is a party with respect to the Pledged Interests pledged by the Pledgor.

(d) The Pledged Shares pledged by the Pledgor have been validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable; the holder or holders of the Pledged Interests are not and will not be subject to any personal liability as such holder under any applicable law; and are not subject to any charter, by-law, statutory, contractual or other restrictions governing their issuance, transfer, ownership or control.

(e) Any consent, approval or authorization of or designation or filing with any authority on the part of the Pledgor which is required in connection with the pledge and security interest granted under this Agreement has been obtained or effected.

(f) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Pledgor, and the performance by the Pledgor of its obligations hereunder, will not result in a violation of any mortgage, indenture, contract, instrument, judgment, decree, order, statute, rule or regulation to which the Pledgor is subject.

(g) The Pledgor has delivered or is delivering to the Pledgee all instruments and stock certificates, if any, representing the Pledged Shares, duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by an assignment or assignments sufficient to transfer title thereto. [There are neither any instruments or certificates evidencing the Pledged Rights nor registration books in which ownership of the Pledged Rights are recorded.]

6. Obligations of the Pledgor. The Pledgor hereby covenants and agrees with the Pledgee as follows:

(a) Except as permitted under the Credit Agreement, the Pledgor will not sell, transfer or convey any interest in, or suffer or permit any lien or encumbrance to be created upon or with respect to, any of the Collateral (other than as created under this Agreement) during the term of the pledge established hereby.

(b) The Pledgor will, at its own expense, at any time and from time to time at the Pledgee’s request, do, make, procure, execute and deliver all acts, things, writings, assurances and other documents as may be reasonably required by the Pledgee to further enhance, preserve, establish, demonstrate or enforce the Pledgee’s rights, interests and remedies created by, provided in, or emanating from, this Agreement.

7. Rights of the Pledgor. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing:

(a) The Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and retain any cash dividends and other cash distributions paid on the Collateral, in each case, solely to the extent permitted pursuant to the Credit Agreement.

(b) The Pledgor shall be entitled to vote or consent or grant waivers or ratifications with respect to the Collateral in any manner not inconsistent with this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document. The Pledgor hereby grants to the Pledgee an irrevocable proxy to vote the Collateral, which proxy shall be effective immediately upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of Event of Default or registration of the Collateral in the name of the Pledgee pursuant to Section 8 hereof. Upon request of the Pledgee, the Pledgor agrees to deliver to the Pledgee such further evidence of such irrevocable proxy or such further irrevocable proxy to vote the Collateral during the continuance of an Event of Default as the Pledgee may request.

8. Rights of the Pledgee. At any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Pledgee may in its sole discretion:

(a) Cause the Collateral to be transferred to its name or to the name of its nominee or nominees and thereafter exercise as to such Collateral all of the rights, powers and remedies of an owner.

(b) Collect by legal proceedings or otherwise all dividends, interest, principal payments, capital distributions and other sums now or hereafter payable on account of said Collateral, and hold the same as part of the Collateral, or apply the same to any of the Secured Obligations in such manner and order as the Pledgee may decide in its sole discretion.

(c) Enter into any extension, subordination, reorganization, deposit, merger, or consolidation agreement, or any other agreement relating to or affecting the Collateral, and in connection therewith deposit or surrender control of the Collateral thereunder, and accept other property in exchange therefor and hold and apply such property or money so received in accordance with the provisions hereof.

(d) Discharge any taxes, liens, security interests or other encumbrances levied or placed on the Collateral or pay for the maintenance and preservation of the Collateral; the amount of such payments, plus any and all fees, costs and expenses of the Pledgee (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) in connection therewith shall be added to the Secured Obligations secured hereby.

9. Event of Default; Remedies. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default:

(a) In addition to all the rights and remedies of a secured party under applicable law, the Pledgee shall have the right, and without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind, except as specified below, to or upon Pledgor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and/or notices are hereby expressly waived to the extent permitted by law), to proceed forthwith to collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof and to proceed forthwith to sell, assign, give an option or options to purchase, contract to sell, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales at any stock exchange or broker’s board or at any of the Pledgee’s offices or elsewhere at such prices and on such terms (including, without limitation, a requirement that any purchaser of all or any part of the Collateral shall be required to purchase any securities constituting the Collateral solely for investment and without any intention to make a distribution thereof) as the Pledgee in its sole and absolute discretion deems appropriate without any liability for any loss due to decrease in the

market value of the Collateral during the period held. The Pledgee agrees that if notice of sale shall be required by law such notification shall be deemed reasonable and properly given if mailed to the Pledgor, postage prepaid, at least ten (10) days before any such disposition, to the address indicated in Section 13(c) below. Any disposition of the Collateral or any part thereof may be for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, with the right of the Pledgee to purchase all or any part of the Collateral so sold at any such sale or sales, public or private, free of any equity or right of redemption in the Pledgor, which right or equity is, to the extent permitted by applicable law, hereby expressly waived and released by the Pledgor.

(b) All of the Pledgee’s rights and remedies, including but not limited to the foregoing, shall be cumulative and not exclusive and shall be enforceable alternatively, successively or concurrently as the Pledgee may deem expedient.

(c) The Pledgee may elect to obtain (at the Pledgor’s expense) the advice of any independent investment banking firm with respect to the method and manner of sale or other disposition of any of the Collateral, the best price reasonably obtainable therefor, the consideration of cash and/or credit terms, or any other details concerning such sale or disposition. The Pledgee, in its sole discretion, may elect to sell on such credit terms which it deems reasonable. The sale of any of the Collateral on credit terms shall not relieve the Pledgor of its liability under any Loan Document until the Secured Obligations have been paid in full. All payments received by the Pledgee in respect of a sale of Collateral shall be applied to the Secured Obligations in the manner provided in Section 10 of this Agreement, as and when such payments are received.

(d) The Pledgor recognizes that the Pledgee may be unable to effect a public sale of all or a part of the Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in any applicable securities law, but may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire the Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view for the distribution or resale thereof. The Pledgor agrees that private sales so made may be at prices and on other terms less favorable to the seller than if the Collateral were sold at public sale, and that the Pledgee has no obligation to delay the sale of any Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the registration of the Collateral for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Pledgor agrees that a private sale or sales made under the foregoing circumstances shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.

(e) If any consent, approval or authorization of any state, municipal or other governmental department, agency or authority should be necessary to effectuate any sale or other disposition of the Collateral, or any partial disposition of the Collateral, the Pledgor will execute all such applications and other instruments as may be required in connection with securing any such consent, approval or authorization, and will otherwise use its best efforts to secure such sale or other disposition of the Collateral as the Pledgee may reasonably deem necessary pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(f) Upon any sale or other disposition, the Pledgee shall have the right to deliver, assign and transfer to the purchaser thereof the Collateral so sold or disposed of. Each purchaser at any such sale or other disposition (including the Pledgee) shall hold the Collateral free from any claim or right of the Pledgor of whatever kind, including any equity or right of redemption of the Pledgor. The Pledgor specifically waives, to the extent permitted by applicable laws, all rights of redemption, stay or appraisal which it had or may have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter adopted.

(g) The Pledgee shall not be obligated to make any sale or other disposition, unless the terms thereof shall be satisfactory to it. The Pledgee may, subject to applicable laws, without notice or publication, adjourn any private or public sale, and, upon five (5) days’ prior notice to the Pledgor, hold such sale at any time or place to which the same may be so adjourned. In case of any sale of all or any part of the Collateral, on credit or future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Pledgee until the selling price is paid by the purchaser thereof, but the Pledgee and the Lenders shall incur no liability in the case of the failure of such purchaser to take up and pay for the property so sold and, in case of any such failure, such property may again be sold as herein provided.

10. Disposition of Proceeds.

(a) The proceeds of any sale or disposition of all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied by the Pledgee in the following order:

(i) to the payment in full of the costs and expenses of such sale or sales, collections, and the protection, declaration and enforcement of any security interest granted hereunder including the reasonable compensation of the Pledgee’s agents and attorneys;

(ii) to the payment of the Secured Obligations; and

(iii) to the payment to the Pledgor of any surplus then remaining from such proceeds, subject to the rights of any holder of a lien on the Collateral of which the Pledgee has actual notice.

(b) In the event that the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to cover the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the Secured Obligations secured thereby plus costs and expenses of the sale or other disposition, the Pledgor shall remain liable for any deficiency.

11. Termination. This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until all of the Secured Obligations (other than unmatured or contingent obligations related to indemnification obligations for which no written request has been made) shall have been paid in full in cash and satisfied, and the Credit Agreement shall have been terminated. Subject to any sale or other disposition by the Pledgee of the Collateral or any part thereof pursuant to this Agreement, the Collateral shall be returned to the Pledgor upon full payment, satisfaction and termination of all of the Secured Obligations (other than unmatured or contingent obligations related to indemnification obligations for which no written request has been made).

12. Expenses of the Pledgee. The Pledgor agrees to indemnify the Pledgor for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by the Pledgee in connection with the perfection and continuation of the security interest granted hereunder and any actual or attempted sale or exchange of, or any enforcement, collection, compromise or settlement respecting, the Collateral, or any other action taken by the Pledgee hereunder whether directly or as attorney-in-fact pursuant to a power of attorney or other authorization herein conferred, for the purpose of satisfaction of the liability of the Pledgor for failure to pay the Secured Obligations or as additional amounts owing by the Pledgor to cover the Pledgee’s costs of acting against the Collateral, and the Pledgee may apply the Collateral to payment of or reimbursement of itself for such liability.

13. General Provisions.

(a) All capitalized terms used in this Pledge Agreement and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement.

(b) The Pledgee and its assigns shall have no obligation in respect of the Collateral, except to use reasonable care in holding the Collateral and to hold and dispose of the same in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c) All notices, requests and demands to or upon the respective parties hereto to be effective shall be in writing, and unless otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be conclusively deemed to have been received by a party hereto and to be effective on the day on which delivered to such party at the address set forth below, or, in the case of telecopy notice, when acknowledged as received, if sent by registered or certified mail, on the third Business Day after the day on which mailed in the United States, addressed to such party at said address:
