If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender and the Administrative Agent has made available such amount to the Borrower, the Administrative

-50-

Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent in Dollars. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover from such Lender or the Borrower interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) if paid by such Lender, the Overnight Rate or (ii) if paid by the Borrower, the then-applicable rate of interest or fees, calculated in accordance with Section 2.8 hereof, for the respective Loans.

-51-

under, the Type of each Loan made and the Interest Period, if any, applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.

(f) The entries made in the Register and accounts and subaccounts maintained pursuant to clauses (d) and (e) of this Section 2.5 shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such account, such Register or such subaccount, as applicable, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

2.6. Conversions and Continuations.

(a) Subject to the penultimate sentence of this clause (a), (i) the Borrower shall have the option on any Business Day to convert all or a portion equal to at least $500,000 (and multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof) of the outstanding principal amount of Loans of one Type into a Borrowing or Borrowings of another Type and (ii) the Borrower shall have the option on any Business Day to continue the outstanding principal amount of any LIBOR Loans as LIBOR Loans for an additional Interest Period; provided, that (A) no partial conversion of LIBOR Loans shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of LIBOR Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing to less than the $500,000, (B) ABR Loans may not be converted into LIBOR Loans if a Default is in existence on the date of the conversion and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversion, (C) LIBOR Loans may not be continued as LIBOR Loans for an additional Interest Period if a Default is in existence on the date of the proposed continuation and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuation, and (D) Borrowings resulting from conversions pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be limited in number as provided in Section 2.2.

(b) If any Default is in existence at the time of any proposed continuation of any LIBOR Loans and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuation, such LIBOR Loans shall be automati-

-52-

cally converted on the last day of the current Interest Period into ABR Loans.

2.8. Interest.

(a) The unpaid principal amount of each ABR Loan shall bear interest from the date of the Borrowing thereof until maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum that shall at all times be equal to the Applicable ABR Margin plus the ABR in effect from time to time.

(b) The unpaid principal amount of each LIBOR Loan shall bear interest from the date of the Borrowing thereof until maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum that shall at all times be equal to the Applicable LIBOR Margin plus the relevant LIBOR Rate in effect from time to time.

(c) If all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any Loan or (ii) any interest payable thereon shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum that is (the “Default Rate”) (x) in the case of overdue principal, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto plus 2.00% or (y) in the case of any overdue interest, to the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, the rate described in Section 2.8(a) hereof plus 2.00% from the date of such non-payment to the date on which such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment).

2.9. Interest Periods. At the time the Borrower gives a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion or Continuation in respect of the making of, or conversion into or continuation as, a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans in accordance with Section 2.6(a), the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of the Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing, which Interest Period shall, at the option of the Borrower be a one, two, three or six-month period or (if available to all the Lenders making such LIBOR Loans as determined by such Lenders in good faith based on prevailing market conditions) any period shorter than one month requested by the Borrower.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above:

(a) the initial Interest Period for any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans shall commence on the date of such Borrowing (including the date of any conversion from a Borrowing of ABR Loans) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Borrowing shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period expires;

(b) if any Interest Period relating to a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month or begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period;

(c) if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day, provided that if any Interest Period in respect of a LIBOR Loan would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day; and

-54-

(a) In the event that (x) in the case of clause (i) below, the Required Lenders or (y) in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) below, any Lender, shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto):

(i) on any date for determining the LIBOR Rate for any Interest Period that (A) deposits in the principal amounts of Loans comprising such LIBOR Borrowing are not generally available in the relevant market or (B) by reason of any changes arising on or after the Effective Date affecting the interbank LIBOR market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of LIBOR Rate; or

(ii) that, due to a Change in Law occurring after the Effective Date, which Change in Law shall (A) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender, (B) subject any Lender to any Tax with respect to any Loan Document or any LIBOR Loan made by it (other than (i) Taxes indemnifiable under Section 4.4 or (ii) Excluded Taxes), or (C) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or LIBOR Loans made by such Lender, which results in the cost to such Lender of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining LIBOR Loans hereunder increasing by an amount which such Lender reasonably deems material or the amounts received or receivable by such Lender hereunder with respect to the foregoing shall be reduced; or

(iii) that the making or continuance of any LIBOR Loan has become unlawful as a result of compliance by such Lender in good faith with any Requirement of Law (or would conflict with any such Requirement of Law not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful);

then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i) above) shall within a reasonable time thereafter give notice (if by telephone, confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders). Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i) above, LIBOR Loans shall no longer be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist (which notice the Administrative Agent agrees to give at such time when such circumstances no longer exist), and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion or Continuation given by the Borrower with respect to LIBOR Loans that have not yet been incurred shall be deemed rescinded by the Borrower, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender, promptly (but no later than fifteen days) after receipt of written demand therefor such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts receivable hereunder (it being agreed that a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all par-

-55-

ties hereto) and (z) in the case of clause (iii) above, the Borrower shall take one of the actions specified in Section 2.10(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by applicable Requirements of Law.

(b) At any time that any LIBOR Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), the Borrower may (and in the case of a LIBOR Loan affected pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(iii) shall) either (i) if the affected LIBOR Loan is then being made pursuant to a Borrowing, cancel such Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed promptly in writing) thereof on the same date that the Borrower was notified by a Lender pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii) or (ii) if the affected LIBOR Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, require the affected Lender to convert each such LIBOR Loan into an ABR Loan; provided that if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated in the same manner pursuant to this Section 2.10(b).

(c) If after the Effective Date, any Change in Law relating to capital adequacy of any Lender or compliance by any Lender or its parent with any Change in Law relating to capital adequacy occurring after the Effective Date, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or its parent’s capital or assets as a consequence of such Lender’s commitments or obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or its parent could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or its parent’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, promptly (but in any event no later than fifteen days) after written demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or its parent for such reduction, it being understood and agreed, however, that a Lender shall not be entitled to such compensation as a result of such Lender’s compliance with, or pursuant to any request or directive to comply with, any applicable Requirement of Law as in effect on the Effective Date. Each Lender, upon determining in good faith that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.10(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis of the calculation of such additional amounts, although the failure to give any such notice shall not, subject to Section 2.13, release or diminish the Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.10(c) upon receipt of such notice.

2.11. Compensation. If (a) any payment of principal of any LIBOR Loan is made by the Borrower to or for the account of a Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan as a result of a payment or conversion pursuant to Sections 2.5, 2.6, 2.10, 4.1 or 11.7, as a result of acceleration of the maturity of the Loans pursuant to Section 9 or for any other reason, (b) any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans is not made on the date specified in a Notice of Borrowing, (c) any ABR Loan is not converted into a LIBOR Loan on the date specified in a Notice of Conversion or Continuation, (d) any LIBOR Loan is not continued as a LIBOR Loan on the date specified in a Notice of Conversion or Continuation or (e) any prepayment of principal of any LIBOR Loan is not made as a result of a withdrawn notice of prepayment pursuant to Section 4.1, the Borrower shall after the Borrower’s receipt of a written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount), pay to the Administrative Agent (within fifteen days after such request) for the account

-56-

of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any additional losses, costs or expenses that such Lender may reasonably incur as a result of such payment, failure to convert, failure to continue or failure to prepay, including any loss, cost or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits) actually incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender to fund or maintain such LIBOR Loan.

2.12. Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii), 2.10(a)(iii), 2.10(c) or 4.4 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event; provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of any such Section. Nothing in this Section 2.12 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the right of any Lender provided in Section 2.10 or 4.4.

2.13. Notice of Certain Costs. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent any notice required by Section 2.10, 2.11 or 4.4 is given by any Lender more than 180 days after such Lender has knowledge (or should have had knowledge) of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the additional cost, reduction in amounts, loss, tax or other additional amounts described in such Sections, such Lender shall not be entitled to compensation under Section 2.10, 2.11 or 4.4, as the case may be, for any such amounts incurred or accruing prior to the 181st day prior to the giving of such notice to the Borrower; provided that if the circumstance giving rise to such claim is retroactive, then such 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

2.14. Extensions of Loans.

(a) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of each Loan of any Class (an “Existing Term Loan Class”) be converted or exchanged to extend the scheduled final maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of such Loans (any such Loans which have been so extended, “Extended Term Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.14. Prior to entering into any Extension Agreement with respect to any Extended Term Loans, the Borrower shall provide written notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders of the applicable Existing Term Loan Class, with such request offered equally to all such Lenders of such Existing Term Loan Class) (a “Term Loan Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established, which terms shall be similar to the Loans of the Existing Term Loan Class from which they are to be extended except that (w) the scheduled final maturity date shall be extended and all or any of the scheduled amortization payments, if any, of all or a portion of any principal amount of such Extended Term Loans may be delayed to later dates than the scheduled amortization, if any, of principal of the Loans of such Existing Term Loan Class (with any such delay resulting in a corresponding adjustment to the scheduled amortization payments reflected in the Extension Agreement with respect to the Existing Term Loan Class of Term Loans from which such Extended Term Loans were extended, in each case as more particularly set forth in Section 2.14(c)

-57-

below), (x)(A) the interest rates (including through fixed interest rates), interest margins, rate floors, upfront fees, funding discounts, original issue discounts and prepayment premiums with respect to the Extended Term Loans may be different than those for the Loans of such Existing Term Loan Class and/or (B) additional fees and/or premiums may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Term Loans in addition to any of the items contemplated by the preceding clause (A), in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Agreement, (y) subject to the provisions set forth in Section 4.1 the Extended Term Loans may have optional prepayment terms (including call protection and prepayment terms and premiums) as may be agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders thereof and (z) the Extension Agreement may provide for other covenants and terms that apply to any period after the Latest Maturity Date. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Loans of any Existing Term Loan Class converted into Extended Term Loans pursuant to any Term Loan Extension Request. Any Extended Term Loans of any Extension Series shall constitute a separate Class of Loans from the Existing Term Loan Class of Term Loans from which they were extended.

(b) The Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Request to the Administrative Agent at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may determine in its reasonable discretion) prior to the date on which Lenders under the Existing Term Loan Class are requested to respond, and shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably, to accomplish the purpose of this Section 2.14. Any Lender (an “Extending Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Term Loans of an Existing Term Loan Class subject to such Extension Request converted or exchanged into Extended Term Loans shall notify the Administrative Agent (an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Loans which it has elected to convert or exchange into Extended Term Loans (subject to any minimum denomination requirements imposed by the Administrative Agent). In the event that the aggregate amount of Loans subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of Extended Term Loans requested pursuant to the Extension Request, Term Loans subject to Extension Elections shall be converted to or exchanged to Extended Term Loans on a pro rata basis (subject to such rounding requirements as may be established by the Administrative Agent) based on the amount of Loans included in each such Extension Election or as may be otherwise agreed to in the applicable Extension Agreement.

(c) Extended Term Loans shall be established pursuant to an amendment (an “Extension Agreement”) to this Agreement (which, except to the extent expressly contemplated by the penultimate sentence of this Section 2.14(c) and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 11.1, shall not require the consent of any Lender other than the Extending Lenders with respect to the Extended Term Loans established thereby) executed by the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Extending Lenders. In addition to any terms and changes required or permitted by Section 2.14(a), each Extension Agreement in respect of Extended Term Loans shall amend the scheduled amortization payments pursuant to Section 2.5 or the applicable Extension Agreement with respect to the Existing Term Loan Class of Term Loans from which the Extended Term Loans were exchanged to reduce each scheduled Repayment Amount for the Existing Term Loan Class in the same proportion as the amount of Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan Class is to be reduced pursuant to such Extension Agreement (it being understood that the amount of any Repayment Amount payable with respect to any individual Term

-58-

Loan of such Existing Term Loan Class that is not an Extended Term Loan shall not be reduced as a result thereof). In connection with any Extension Agreement, the Borrower shall deliver an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (i) as to the enforceability of such Extension Agreement, this Agreement as amended thereby, and such of the other Loan Documents (if any) as may be amended thereby (in the case of such other Loan Documents as contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence) and covering customary matters and (ii) to the effect that such Extension Agreement, including the Extended Term Loans provided for therein, does not breach or result in a default under the provisions of Section 11.1 of this Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, on any date on which any Existing Term Loan Class is converted or exchanged to extend the related scheduled maturity date(s) in accordance with paragraph (a) above, in the case of the existing Term Loans of each Extending Lender, the aggregate principal amount of such existing Term Loans shall be deemed reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Extended Term Loans so converted or exchanged by such Lender on such date, and the Extended Term Loans shall be established as a separate Class of Term Loans (together with any other Extended Term Loans so established on such date).

(e) In the event that the Administrative Agent determines in its sole discretion that the allocation of Extended Term Loans of a given Extension Series to a given Lender was incorrectly determined as a result of manifest administrative error in the receipt and processing of an Extension Election timely submitted by such Lender in accordance with the procedures set forth in the applicable Extension Agreement, then the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and such affected Lender may (and hereby are authorized to), in their sole discretion and without the consent of any other Lender, enter into an amendment to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (each, a “Corrective Extension Agreement”) within 15 days following the effective date of such Extension Agreement, as the case may be, which Corrective Extension Agreement shall (i) provide for the conversion or exchange and extension of Term Loans under the Existing Term Loan Class in such amount as is required to cause such Lender to hold Extended Term Loans of the applicable Extension Series into which such other Term Loans or commitments were initially converted or exchanged, as the case may be, in the amount such Lender would have held had such administrative error not occurred and had such Lender received the minimum allocation of the applicable Loans or Commitments to which it was entitled under the terms of such Extension Agreement, in the absence of such error, (ii) be subject to the satisfaction of such conditions as the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and such Lender may agree, and (iii) effect such other amendments of the type (with appropriate reference and nomenclature changes) described in the penultimate sentence of Section 2.14(c).

(f) No conversion or exchange of Loans or Commitments pursuant to any Extension Agreement in accordance with this Section 2.14 shall constitute a voluntary or mandatory payment or prepayment for purposes of this Agreement.

(g) This Section 2.14 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.7 to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, any of the provisions of this Section 2.14 may be amended

-59-

with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such amendment shall require any Lender to provide any Extended Term Loans without such Lender’s consent.

SECTION 3. Fees; Commitments

3.1. Administrative Agent’s Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the administrative agent fees in the amounts and on the dates as set forth in writing from time to time between the Administrative Agent and the Borrower.

3.2. Commitment Fee: The Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender, through the Administrative Agent, on the earlier to occur of the Funding Date and the Commitment Expiration Date, a commitment fee in U.S. Dollars (a “Commitment Fee”) on the amount of the Commitment of such Lender at a per annum rate equal half of the Applicable LIBOR Margin until May 1, 2013 and increasing to the Applicable LIBOR Margin thereafter. All Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. The Commitment Fee due to each Lender shall commence to accrue on March 1, 2013 and shall cease to accrue on the earlier to occur of the Funding Date and the Commitment Expiration Date.

3.3. Mandatory Termination of Commitments. The Commitments shall automatically terminate on the Commitment Expiration Date.

SECTION 4. Payments

4.1. Voluntary Prepayments.

(a) The Borrower shall have the right to prepay Term Loans, without premium or penalty, except as set forth in Section 4.1(b), in whole or in part from time to time on the following terms and conditions: (a) the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of its intent to make such prepayment, the amount of such prepayment and in the case of LIBOR Loans, the specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which made, which notice shall be given by the Borrower no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) (x) one Business Day prior to (in the case of ABR Loans) or (y) three Business Days prior to (in the case of LIBOR Loans) the date of such prepayment and shall promptly be transmitted by the Administrative Agent to each of the relevant Lenders; (b) each partial prepayment of any Borrowing of Term Loans shall be in a multiple of $500,000 and in an aggregate principal amount of at least $1,000,000; provided that no partial prepayment of LIBOR Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding LIBOR Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than $5,000,000 for LIBOR Loans; and (c) any prepayment of LIBOR Loans pursuant to this Section 4.1 on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto shall be subject to compliance by the Borrower with the applicable provisions of Section 2.11. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Class(es) and Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid. Each prepayment in respect of any Class of Loans pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall be applied to reduce the Repayment Amounts in such order as the Borrower may determine and may be applied to any Class of Loans as directed by the Borrower. For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower may (i) prepay Loans of an Existing Term Loan Class pursuant to this Section 4.1 without any requirement to prepay Extended Term Loans that were converted or exchanged from such Exist-

-60-

ing Term Loan Class and (ii) prepay Extended Term Loans pursuant to this Section 4.1 without any requirement to prepay Loans of an Existing Term Loan Class that were converted or exchanged for such Extended Term Loans. In the event that the Borrower does not specify the order in which to apply prepayments to reduce Repayment Amounts or as between Classes of Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected that such proceeds be applied to reduce the Repayment Amounts in direct order of maturity and/or a pro-rata basis among Loan Classes. All prepayments under this Section 4.1 shall also be subject to the provisions of Sections 4.2(c) and 4.2(d).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, at the time of the effectiveness of any Repricing Transaction that is consummated prior to the first anniversary of the Funding Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each Lender with outstanding Initial Term Loans, a fee in an amount equal to 1.0% of (x) in the case of a Repricing Transaction of the type described in clause (a) of the definition thereof, the aggregate principal amount of all Initial Term Loans prepaid (or converted or exchanged) in connection with such Repricing Transaction and (y) in the case of a Repricing Transaction described in clause (b) of the definition thereof, the aggregate principal amount of all Initial Term Loans outstanding on such date that are subject to an effective pricing reduction pursuant to such Repricing Transaction. Such fees shall be due and payable upon the date of the effectiveness of such Repricing Transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, on and after the first anniversary of the Funding Date no fee shall be payable pursuant to this Section 4.1(b).

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may prepay the outstanding Loans on the following basis:

(i) The Borrower shall have the right to make a voluntary prepayment of Loans at a discount to par (such prepayment, the “Discounted Loan Prepayment”) pursuant to a Borrower Offer of Specified Discount Prepayment made in accordance with this Section 4.1(c); provided that the Borrower shall not initiate any action under this Section 4.1(c) in order to make a Discounted Loan Prepayment unless (I) at least ten (10) Business Days shall have passed since the consummation of the most recent Discounted Loan Prepayment as a result of a prepayment made by the Borrower on the applicable Discounted Prepayment Effective Date; or (II) at least three (3) Business Days shall have passed since the date the Borrower was notified that no Lender was willing to accept any prepayment of any Loan at the Specified Discount.

(ii) Subject to the proviso to subSection (i) above, the Borrower may from time to time offer to make a Discounted Loan Prepayment by providing the Auction Agent with three (3) Business Days’ notice in the form of a Specified Discount Prepayment Notice; provided that (I) any such offer shall be made available, at the sole discretion of the Borrower, to each Lender, (II) any such offer shall specify the aggregate principal amount offered to be prepaid (the “Specified Discount Prepayment Amount”) and the specific percentage discount to par (the “Specified Discount”) of such Loans to be prepaid, (III) the Specified Discount Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $1,000,000 and whole increments of $500,000 in excess thereof and

-61-

(IV) each such offer shall remain outstanding through the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date. The Auction Agent will promptly provide each Lender with a copy of such Specified Discount Prepayment Notice and a form of the Specified Discount Prepayment Response to be completed and returned by each such Lender to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the third Business Day after the date of delivery of such notice to the Lenders (the “Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date”).

(iii) Each Lender receiving such offer shall notify the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date whether or not it agrees to accept a prepayment of any of its relevant then outstanding Loans at the Specified Discount and, if so (such accepting Lender, a “Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender”), the amount of such Lender’s Loans to be prepaid at such offered discount. Each acceptance of a Discounted Loan Prepayment by a Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender shall be irrevocable. Any Lender whose Specified Discount Prepayment Response is not received by the Auction Agent by the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have declined to accept the applicable Borrower Offer of Specified Discount Prepayment.

(iv) If there is at least one Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender, the Borrower will make prepayment of outstanding Loans pursuant to this paragraph (c) to each Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender in accordance with the respective outstanding amount and tranches of Loans specified in such Lender’s Specified Discount Prepayment Response given pursuant to subSection (ii); provided that, if the aggregate principal amount of Loans accepted for prepayment by all Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders exceeds the Specified Discount Prepayment Amount, such prepayment shall be made pro-rata among the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts accepted to be prepaid by each such Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender and the Auction Agent (in consultation with the Borrower and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Specified Discount Proration”). The Auction Agent shall promptly, and in any case within three (3) Business Days following the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date, notify (I) the Borrower of the respective Lenders’ responses to such offer, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and the aggregate principal amount of the Discounted Loan Prepayment and the tranches to be prepaid, (II) each Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, and the aggregate principal amount of Loans to be prepaid at the Specified Discount on such date and (III) each Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender of the Specified Discount Proration, if any, and confirmation of the principal amount and Type of Loans of such Lender to be prepaid at the Specified Discount on such date. Each determination by the Auction Agent of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the Borrower and Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The payment amount specified in such notice to the Borrower shall be due and payable by the Borrower on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with subSection (v) below (subject to subSection (x) below).

-62-

(v) In connection with any Discounted Loan Prepayment, the Borrower and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Auction Agent may require as a condition to any Discounted Loan Prepayment, the payment of customary fees and expenses from the Borrower in connection therewith.

(vi) If any Loan is prepaid in accordance with this subSection (c), the Borrower shall prepay such Loans on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date. The Borrower shall make such prepayment to the Auction Agent, for the account of the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders at the Administrative Agent’s Office in immediately available funds not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and all such prepayments shall be applied to the scheduled Repayment Amounts on a pro rata basis across the remaining principal installments of the Loans. The Loans so prepaid shall be accompanied by all accrued and unpaid interest on the par principal amount so prepaid up to, but not including, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date. Each prepayment of the outstanding Loans pursuant to this Section 4.1(c) shall be paid to the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders. The aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding shall be deemed reduced by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the tranches of Loans prepaid on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in any Discounted Loan Prepayment.

(vii) To the extent not expressly provided for herein, each Discounted Loan Prepayment shall be consummated pursuant to procedures consistent, with the provisions in this Section 4.1(c), established by the Auction Agent acting in its reasonable discretion and as reasonably agreed by the Borrower.

(viii) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, for purposes of this Section 4.1(c), each notice or other communication required to be delivered or otherwise provided to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) shall be deemed to have been given upon Auction Agent’s (or its delegate’s) actual receipt during normal business hours of such notice or communication; provided that any notice or communication actually received outside of normal business hours shall be deemed to have been given as of the opening of business on the next Business Day.

(ix) Each of the Borrower and the Lenders acknowledges and agrees that the Auction Agent may perform any and all of its duties under this Section 4.1(c) by itself or through any Affiliate of the Auction Agent and expressly consents to any such delegation of duties by the Auction Agent to such Affiliate and the performance of such delegated duties by such Affiliate. The exculpatory provisions pursuant to this Agreement shall apply to each Affiliate of the Auction Agent and its respective activities in connection with any Discounted Loan Prepayment provided for in this Section 4.1(c) as well as activities of the Auction Agent.

(x) The Borrower shall have the right, by written notice to the Auction Agent, to revoke in full (but not in part) its offer to make a Discounted Loan Prepayment at its discretion at any time on or prior to the applicable Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date (and if such offer is revoked pursuant to the preceding clauses, any failure by

-63-

the Borrower to make any prepayment to a Lender, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 4.1(c) shall not constitute a Default or Unmatured Default under this Agreement).

4.2. Mandatory Prepayments.

(a) On each occasion that a Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event occurs, the Borrower shall, within one Business Day after the receipt of net cash proceeds therefrom, prepay, in accordance with Section 4.2(c) below, a principal amount of Loans in an amount equal to 100% of the net cash proceeds from such Debt Incurrence Prepayment Event.

(b) The Borrower shall, in accordance with SubSection 4.2(c), prepay the Loans to the extent required by SubSection 8.4(b) (subject to SubSection 8.4 (g)).

(c) Application to Loans. Each prepayment of Loans required by Section 4.2 shall be (i) allocated to any Class of Loans outstanding as directed by the Borrower, (ii) applied pro rata to Lenders within each Class, based upon the outstanding principal amounts owing to each such Lender under each such Class of Loans and (iii) applied to reduce the scheduled Repayment Amounts in direct order of maturity.

(d) LIBOR Interest Periods. In lieu of making any payment pursuant to this Section 4.2 or pursuant to Section 8.4 hereof in respect of any LIBOR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period therefor so long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower at its option may deposit with the Administrative Agent an amount in Dollars equal to the amount of the LIBOR Loan to be prepaid and such LIBOR Loan shall be repaid on the last day of the Interest Period therefor in the required amount. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent in a corporate time deposit account established on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, earning interest at the then-customary rate for accounts of such type. Such deposit shall constitute cash collateral for the LIBOR Loans to be so prepaid, provided that the Borrower may at any time direct that such deposit be applied to make the applicable payment required pursuant to this Section 4.2.

4.3. Method and Place of Payment.

(a) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under this Agreement shall be made by the Borrower, without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders entitled thereto, not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time), in each case, on the date when due and shall be made in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office or at such other office as the Administrative Agent shall specify for such purpose by notice to the Borrower, it being understood that written or facsimile notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent to make a payment from the funds in the Borrower’s account at the Administrative Agent’s Office shall constitute the making of such payment to the extent of such funds held in such account. All repayments or prepayments of any Loans (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) hereunder shall be made in Dollars and all other payments under each Loan Document shall, unless otherwise specified in such Loan Document, be made in Dollars. The Administrative Agent will thereafter cause to be distributed on the same day (if payment was actually received by the Administrative Agent prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) or, otherwise, on the next Business

-64-

Day) like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest ratably to the Lenders entitled thereto.

(b) Any payments under this Agreement that are made later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) may be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable during such extension at the applicable rate in effect immediately prior to such extension.

4.4. Net Payments.

(a) Any and all payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Guarantor under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrower or any Guarantor or the Administrative Agent shall be required by applicable Requirements of Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from such payments, then (i) the Borrower or such Guarantor or the Administrative Agent shall make such deductions or withholdings as are reasonably determined by the Borrower, such Guarantor or the Administrative Agent to be required by any applicable Requirement of Law, (ii) the Borrower, such Guarantor or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority within the time allowed and in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law, and (iii) to the extent withholding or deduction is required to be made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by the Borrower or such Guarantor shall be increased as necessary so that after making all such required deductions and withholdings (including such deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 4.4) the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made. Whenever any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by the Borrower or such Guarantor, as promptly as possible thereafter, the Borrower or Guarantor shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of such Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an official receipt (or other evidence acceptable to such Lender, acting reasonably) received by the Borrower or such Guarantor showing payment thereof. After any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 4.4, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, as the case may be, a copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.

(b) The Borrower shall timely pay and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender with regard to any Other Taxes (whether or not such Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority).

-65-

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender within 15 Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 4.4) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or the Administrative Agent (as applicable) on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine (A) whether or not any payments made hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (C) such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of any payments to be made to such Lender by any Loan Party pursuant to any Loan Document or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

(e) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Non-U.S. Lender with respect to any Loan made to the Borrower shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so:

(i) deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, prior to the date on which the first payment to the Non-U.S. Lender is due hereunder, two copies of (A) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest,” United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any applicable successor form) (together with a certificate (substantially in the form of Exhibit J hereto) representing that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code, is not a 10% shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of the Borrower, is not a CFC related to the Borrower (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code) and the interest payments in question are not effectively connected with the United States trade or business conducted by such Lender), (B) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI (or any applicable successor form), in each case properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or reduced rate of, U.S. Federal withholding tax on payments by the Borrower under this Agreement, (C) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any applicable successor form) and all necessary attachments (including the forms described in clauses (A)

-66-

and (B) above, as required) or (D) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(ii) deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two further copies of any such form or certification (or any applicable successor form) on or before the date that any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete or invalid, after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower, and from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent;

unless in any such case any Change in Law has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required that renders any such form inapplicable or would prevent such Non-U.S. Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Non-U.S. Lender promptly so advises the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Each Person that shall become a Participant pursuant to Section 11.6 or a Lender pursuant to Section 11.6 shall, upon the effectiveness of the related transfer, be required to provide all the forms and statements required pursuant to Section 4.4(d), (e), (h) or (i); provided that in the case of a Participant such Participant shall furnish all such required forms and statements to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased.

(f) If any Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it had received and retained a refund of an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax for which a payment has been made by the Borrower or any Guarantor pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, which refund in the good faith judgment of such Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, is attributable to Taxes relating to such payment made by the Borrower or any Guarantor, then the Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall reimburse the Borrower or such Guarantor for such amount (net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, and without interest other than any interest received thereon from the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund) as the Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, determines in its sole discretion exercised in good faith to be the proportion of the refund as will leave it, after such reimbursement, in no better or worse position (taking into account expenses or any taxes imposed on the refund) than it would have been in if the payment had not been required; provided that the Borrower or such Guarantor, upon the request of the Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower or such Guarantor (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in the event the Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. In such event, such Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall, at the Borrower’s request, provide the Borrower with a copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence of the requirement to repay such refund received from the relevant Governmental Authority (provided that such Lend-

-67-

er, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may delete any information therein that it deems confidential). A Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall claim any refund that it determines is available to it, unless it concludes in its sole discretion that it would be adversely affected by making such a claim. No Lender nor the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall be obliged to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Loan Party in connection with this clause (f) or any other provision of this Section 4.4.

(g) If the Borrower determines that a reasonable basis exists for contesting a Tax, each Lender or Agent, as the case may be, shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower as the Borrower may reasonably request in challenging such Tax. The Borrower shall indemnify and hold each Lender and Agent harmless against any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Person in connection with any request made by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 4.4(g). Nothing in this Section 4.4(g) shall obligate any Lender or Agent to take any action that such Person, in its sole judgment, determines may result in a material detriment to such Person.

(h) Each Lender and Agent that is a United States person under Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (each, a “U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two Internal Revenue Service Forms W-9 (or substitute or successor form), properly completed and duly executed, certifying that such Lender or Agent is exempt from United States federal backup withholding (i) on or prior to the Effective Date (or on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement), (ii) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete or invalid, (iii) after the occurrence of a change in the Administrative Agent’s or Lender’s circumstances requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and (iv) from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent.

(i) If a payment made to any Lender or any Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender or such Agent 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 Lender or such Agent shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower 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 Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 4.4(i), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Effective Date.

Interest on LIBOR Loans shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed and interest on ABR Loans in respect of which the rate of interest is calculated on the basis of the Administrative Agent’s prime rate and overdue interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed.

4.6. Limit on Rate of Interest.

(a) No Payment Shall Exceed Lawful Rate. Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any interest or other amounts under or in connection with this Agreement or otherwise in respect to any of the Obligations in excess of the amount or rate permitted under or consistent with any applicable law, rule or regulation.

(c) Adjustment if Any Payment Exceeds Lawful Rate. If any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents would obligate the Borrower or any other Loan Party to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Lender in an amount or calculated at a rate that would be prohibited by any Requirement of Law, then notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by applicable Requirements of Law, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid by the Borrower to the affected Lender under Section 2.8 hereof.

(d) Rebate of Excess Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if any Lender shall have received from the Borrower an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by any applicable Requirement of Law, then the Borrower shall be entitled, by notice in writing to the Administrative Agent to obtain reimbursement from that Lender in an amount equal to such excess, and pending such reimbursement, such amount shall be deemed to be an amount payable by that Lender to the Borrower.

6.1. Existence and Standing. Each of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries is a corporation, partnership (in the case of Restricted Subsidiaries only) or limited liability company duly incorporated or organized, as the case may be, validly existing and (to the extent such concept applies to such entity) in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization and has all requisite authority to conduct its business in each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted, except where the failure to be so qualified does not or would not be expected to cause or result in the occurrence of a Material Adverse Effect.

6.2. Authorization and Validity. Each of the Borrower and Guarantors has the power and authority and legal right to execute and deliver the Loan Documents to which the Borrower or each such Guarantor, as applicable, is a party and to perform its obligations thereunder. The execution and delivery by each of the Borrower and each Guarantor of the Loan Documents to which the Borrower or each such Guarantor, as applicable, is a party and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by proper proceedings, and the Loan Documents to which the Borrower or such Guarantor, as applicable, is a party constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower or such Guarantor, as applicable, enforceable against the Borrower or such Guarantor, as applicable, in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyances, reorganization or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally; (ii) general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law); and (iii) requirements of reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing.

6.3. No Conflict; Government Consent. Neither the execution and delivery by the Borrower or the Guarantors, as applicable, of the Loan Documents, nor the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated, nor compliance with the provisions thereof will violate (i) any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree or award binding on the Borrower or any of the Guarantors, or (ii) the Borrower’s or any Guarantor’s articles or certificate of incorporation, partnership agreement, certificate of partnership, articles or certificate of organization, by-laws, or operating agreement or other management agreement, as the case may be, or (iii) the provisions of any indenture, instrument or agreement to which the Borrower or any of the Guarantors is a party or is subject, or by which it, or its Property, is bound, or conflict with, or constitute a default under, or result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien in, of or on the Property of the Borrower or a Guarantor pursuant to the terms of, any such indenture, instrument or agreement except where such violation would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No order, consent, adjudication, approval, license, authorization, or validation of, or exemption by, any governmental or public body or authority, or any subdivision thereof, which has not been obtained by the Borrower or any of the Guarantors, is required to be obtained by the Borrower or any of the Guarantors in connection with the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, the borrowings under this Agreement, the payment and performance by

6.5. Material Adverse Change. Since December 31, 2011, there has been no change in the business, Property, condition (financial or otherwise) or results of operations of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken together, which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

6.6. Taxes. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have filed all United States federal tax returns and all other tax returns which are required to be filed (except where failure to file such other tax returns would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect) and have paid all taxes due pursuant to said returns or pursuant to any assessment received by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, except in respect of such taxes, if any, as are being contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves have been provided in accordance with Agreement Accounting Principles and as to which no Lien exists (except as permitted by clause (5) of the definition of Permitted Liens). The United States income tax returns of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries have been audited by the Internal Revenue Service through the fiscal year ended 2007.

6.7. Litigation and Contingent Obligations.

The Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries have complied with all applicable statutes, rules, regulations, orders and restrictions of any domestic or foreign government or any instrumentality or agency thereof having jurisdiction over the conduct of their respective businesses or the ownership of their respective Property, except where the failure to do so has not caused or resulted in the occurrence of a Material Adverse Effect.

The Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loans in compliance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements and any such use shall not result in a violation of any such requirements, including, without limitation, Regulation U and X, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

7.6. Notice of Default. Within five (5) Business Days after an Authorized Officer has knowledge thereof, the Borrower will, and will cause each Guarantor to, give notice in writing to the Lenders of the occurrence of any Default or Unmatured Default.

7.7. Corporate Existence. Subject to Section 8.8 hereof, the Borrower shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each of its Restricted Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Borrower or any such Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to preserve the existence of any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, if the Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 7.7 shall not prohibit any change of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary (i) in its legal name, (ii) in its jurisdiction of organization or location for purposes of the UCC, (iii) in its identity or type of organization or corporate structure or (iv) in its Federal Taxpayer Identification Number or organizational identification number.

7.8. Conduct of Business. The Borrower will, and will cause each Guarantor to, carry on and conduct its business in substantially the same manner and in similar fields of enterprise as it is presently conducted and do all things necessary to remain duly incorporated or

-79-

organized, validly existing and (to the extent such concept applies to such entity) in good standing as a corporation, partnership or limited liability company in each of its jurisdictions of incorporation or organization, as the case may be, and maintain all requisite authority to conduct its business in each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted, except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to cause or result in the occurrence of a Material Adverse Effect.

7.9. Insurance. The Borrower will, and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary to, maintain with financially sound and reputable insurance companies insurance in such amounts, subject to such deductibles and self-insurance retentions, and covering such risks as is consistent with sound business practices. The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent additional insured or lender’s loss payable endorsements in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent for insurance policies providing coverage for the Collateral. Each such policy providing coverage for the Collateral maintained by the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary shall provide that the insurer will endeavor to give at least (30) days’ prior written notice of any cancellation to the Borrower or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, and the Administrative Agent.

7.10. Compliance with Laws. The Borrower will, and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary to, comply with all laws, rules, regulations, orders, writs, judgments, injunctions, decrees or awards to which it may be subject, except where the Borrower believes in good faith that the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to cause or result in the occurrence of a Material Adverse Effect.

7.11. Maintenance of Properties. Subject to Section 8.4, the Borrower will, and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary to, maintain, preserve, protect and keep its Property used in the operation of its business in good repair, working order and condition (ordinary wear and tear excepted), and make all necessary repairs, renewals and replacements so that its business carried on in connection therewith may be properly conducted at all times in the ordinary course; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit, limit or impair the Borrower’s or any Restricted Subsidiary’s ability to sell or discontinue the use of, in its reasonable business judgment, any Property.

7.12. Inspection; Keeping of Books and Records. The Borrower will, and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary to, permit the Administrative Agent, by its respective representatives and agents, to inspect any of the Property, books and financial records of the Borrower and each Restricted Subsidiary (including all insurance policies), including, without limitation, at least one field exam per calendar year, to examine and make copies of the books of accounts and other financial records of the Borrower and each Restricted Subsidiary, and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Borrower and each Restricted Subsidiary with, and to be advised as to the same by, their respective officers, at such reasonable times during the Borrower’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s normal business hours not more than one (1) time per fiscal year, provided that, to the extent a Default then exists, as often as reasonably requested. The Borrower shall keep and maintain, and cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to keep and maintain, in all material respects, proper books of record and account in which entries in conformity with Agreement Accounting Principles shall be made of all dealings and transactions in relation to their re-

-80-

spective businesses and activities. If a Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower shall turn over copies of any such records to the Administrative Agent or its representatives as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request. The Administrative Agent agrees that it shall conduct any such inspection or examination in reasonable accordance with the Borrower’s and its Restricted Subsidiaries’ safety policies and procedures and shall not materially interfere with or impair the Borrower’s or its Restricted Subsidiaries’ operations.

7.13. Collateral Documents; Guarantors.

(a) The Borrower shall execute or shall cause to be executed on the date any Person that is organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof becomes obligated in respect of the Revolving Facility Obligations, (x) a supplement to the Guarantee pursuant to which such Person shall become a party thereto; (y) a Security Agreement in substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto (or a supplement thereto) solely to the extent that such Person grants a lien on its property to secure the Revolving Facility Obligations; and (z) a supplement to Schedule 6.8 identifying the applicable additional new Guarantor.

(b) In order to further effect the requirements of this Section 7.13, the Borrower shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent all Collateral Documents, together with appropriate corporate resolutions and other documentation (including opinions of counsel, UCC financing statements, and such other documents as shall be reasonably requested to perfect the Collateral Agent’s Lien), in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, necessary to reasonably satisfy the Collateral Agent that it has a perfected pledge of, security interest in and Lien upon the Collateral owned by such new Guarantor subject to Liens permitted pursuant to Section 8.6.

(c) The Borrower shall cause each Guarantor to acknowledge and agree that such Guarantor’s entry into the Guarantee is a condition to and is given as an inducement for and in consideration of credit accommodations extended to the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and not for any credit accommodation extended to such Guarantor.

(d) Upon the consummation of the BP Acquisition, (i) the Borrower shall deliver to the Collateral Agent a supplement to “Exhibit E” of such Security Agreement listing those trademarks described in Section 2 of “Exhibit E” as of the Effective Date and (ii) the Borrower shall execute a short form trademark security agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, which grants a security interest in all such newly listed trademarks.

(e) This Section 7.13 shall not apply with respect to Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

SECTION 8. Negative Covenants

8.1. Restricted Payments. The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly: (1) declare or pay any dividend or make any other payment or distribution on account of the Borrower’s or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Equity Interests (including, without limitation, any payment in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) or to the direct or in-

-81-

direct holders of the Borrower’s or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Equity Interests in their capacity as such, in each case other than dividends or distributions declared or paid in Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Equity) of the Borrower or declared or paid to the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; (2) purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value (including without limitation, in connection with any merger or consolidation involving the Borrower) any Equity Interests of the Borrower (other than any such Equity Interests owned by the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower); (3) make any payment to purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Indebtedness that is subordinated to the Loans, except (i) any intercompany indebtedness between or among the Borrower and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries and (ii) a payment of interest or principal at the Maturity Date or a purchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition of such Indebtedness in anticipation of satisfying a sinking fund obligation, principal installment or final maturity in each case due within one year of the date of purchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition; or (4) make any Investment other than a Permitted Investment (all such payments and other actions set forth in clauses (1) through (4) above being collectively referred to as “Restricted Payments”), unless, at the time of and after giving effect to such Restricted Payment:

(a) no Default or Unmatured Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

(b) the Borrower would, at the time of such Restricted Payment and after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Restricted Payment had been made at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, have been permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in the first paragraph of Section 8.3; and

(c) such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries after September 27, 2012 (excluding Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (viii), (ix), (x), (xi), (xii) or (xiii) of the next succeeding paragraph), is less than the sum of:

(i) 50% of the Consolidated Net Income of the Borrower for the period (taken as one accounting period) from July 1, 2012 to the end of the Borrower’s most recently ended fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements are available at the time of such Restricted Payment (or, if such Consolidated Net Income for such period is a loss, less 100% of such loss), plus

(ii) 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds (other than Designated Proceeds), or the Fair Market Value of assets or property other than cash, received by the Borrower from the issue or sale, in either case, since September 27, 2012 of (A) Equity Interests of the Borrower (other than Disqualified Equity), or (B) Disqualified Equity or debt securities of the Borrower that have been converted into, or exchanged for, Equity Interests, together with the aggregate cash received at the time of such conversion or exchange, or received by the Borrower from any such conversion or exchange of such debt securities sold or issued prior to September 27, 2012 other than Equity Interests (or Disqualified Equity or con-

-82-

vertible or exchangeable debt securities) sold to a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower and other than Disqualified Equity or debt securities that have been converted or exchanged into Disqualified Equity, plus

(iii) in case any Unrestricted Subsidiary has been redesignated as a Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to the terms hereof or has been merged, consolidated or amalgamated with or into, or transfers or conveys assets to or is liquidated into, the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary, 100% of the Fair Market Value of such Investment in such Unrestricted Subsidiary (or of the assets transferred or conveyed, as applicable) as of the time of such redesignation, combination or transfer, plus

(iv) to the extent not already included in Consolidated Net Income for such period, (A) if any Restricted Investment that was made by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary after September 27, 2012 is sold, liquidated or repaid, 100% of the aggregate amount received in cash and the Fair Market Value of assets or property other than cash received and (B) with respect to any Restricted Investment that was made by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary after September 27, 2012, the net reduction in such Restricted Investment resulting from payments of interest, dividends, principal repayments and other transfers and distributions of cash, assets or property, in an amount not to exceed the aggregate amount of such Restricted Investment; plus

(v) $1.0 billion.

The foregoing provisions shall not prohibit:

(i) the payment of any dividend or the consummation of an irrevocable redemption of Subordinated Obligations within 60 days after the date of the declaration of such dividend or the delivery of the irrevocable notice of redemption, as the case may be, if at the date of the declaration or the date on which such irrevocable notice is delivered, such dividend or redemption would have complied with the provisions of this Agreement (assuming, in the case of a redemption payment, the giving of the notice of such redemption payment would have been deemed to be a Restricted Payment at such time and such deemed Restricted Payment would have been permitted at such time);

(ii) the making of any Restricted Payments out of the net cash proceeds (other than Designated Proceeds) of the substantially concurrent sale or issuance (a sale or issuance shall be deemed substantially concurrent if such redemption, repurchase, retirement or acquisition occurs not more than 120 days after such sale or issuance) (other than to a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower) of Equity Interests of the Borrower (other than any Disqualified Equity), provided that the amount of any such net cash proceeds that are utilized for any such redemption, repurchase, retirement, defeasance or other acquisition, or payments, shall be excluded from clause (c)(ii) of the preceding paragraph;

(iii) the making of any principal payment on, or the defeasance, redemption, repurchase or other acquisition of, any Subordinated Obligation with the net cash pro-

-83-

ceeds from an incurrence of, or in exchange for the issuance of, Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness;

(iv) the payment of any dividend or distribution by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower to the holders of its Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Equity) on a pro rata basis and the payment of any dividend or distribution by the Borrower to the holders of its Disqualified Equity, provided that such Disqualified Equity is issued on or after September 27, 2012;

(v) the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of any Equity Interests of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower held by any current or former officer, employee, consultant or director of the Borrower (or any of its Subsidiaries) pursuant to the terms of any management equity plan or stock option plan or any other management or employee benefit plan, agreement or trust, provided, however, that the aggregate price paid for all such repurchased, redeemed, acquired or retired Equity Interests pursuant to this clause (v) shall not exceed $15.0 million in any twelve-month period (with up to $7.5 million of any unused amount in any 12-month period to be carried forward to successive calendar years and added to such amount); provided, further, that such amount in any calendar year may be increased by an amount not to exceed, (A) the cash proceeds from the sale of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Equity) of the Borrower to any current or former officers, employees, consultants or directors of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that occurs after September 27, 2012, to the extent the cash proceeds from the sale of such Equity Interests have not otherwise been applied to the payment of Restricted Payments by virtue of clause (c)(ii) of the preceding paragraph and are not associated with Indebtedness owing to the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary; plus (B) the cash proceeds of key man life insurance received by the Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries after September 27, 2012; and provided, further, that cancellation of Indebtedness owing to the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary from any current or former officers, employees, consultants or directors of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with a repurchase of Equity Interests of the Borrower shall not be deemed to constitute a Restricted Payment for purposes of this Section 8.1 or any other provision of this Agreement;

(vi) repurchases of Equity Interests deemed to occur upon the exercise of stock options or warrants to the extent that such Equity Interest represents all or a portion of the exercise price thereof;

(vii) the purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance, acquisition or other retirement of any Indebtedness that is subordinated in right of payment to the Loans pursuant to provisions similar to those described in Section 8.4; provided that, prior to such purchase, repurchase, redemption, defeasance, acquisition or other retirement, the Borrower (or a third party to the extent permitted by this Agreement) has made an Asset Sale Offer with respect to the Loans as a result of such Asset Sale and has repaid all Loans validly tendered and not withdrawn in connection with such Asset Sale Offer;

-84-

(viii) cash payments in lieu of the issuance of fractional shares, or the purchase by the Borrower of fractional shares in connection with (A) the exercise of warrants, options or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Capital Stock of the Borrower or (B) stock dividends or distributions, stock splits, revenue stock splits, merger, consolidation or other business combinations;

(ix) the declaration and payment of dividends on mandatorily convertible preferred stock of the Borrower (other than Disqualified Equity) issued after the Effective Date in an aggregate amount not to exceed the amount of Designated Proceeds;

(x) (A) the payment of dividends or other distributions on Equity Interests of the Borrower and (B) the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of Equity Interests, in each case, on any date where such series of the Loans are rated Baa or better by Moody’s and BB or better by S&P (or in either case, if such entity ceases to rate such Loans for reasons outside of the control of the Borrower, the equivalent credit rating from any other Rating Agency), provided that on the date of such dividend, other distribution or repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value after giving pro forma effect thereto and to any related financing transactions as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the Borrower’s most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available, the Borrower’s Leverage Ratio would have been equal to or less than 2.0 to 1.0;

(xi) other Restricted Payments made pursuant to this clause (xi) in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any one time outstanding $200.0 million;

(xii) payments made or expected to be made by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary in respect of withholding or similar taxes payable upon exercise of Equity Interests and repurchases of Equity Interests deemed to occur upon exercise of stock options or warrants if such Equity Interests represent a portion of the exercise price of such options or warrants; or

(xiii) payments or distributions to dissenting shareholders pursuant to applicable law in connection with a merger, consolidation or transfer of assets that complies with Section 8.8 of this Agreement.

In determining whether any Restricted Payment is permitted by this Section 8.1, the Borrower may allocate or reallocate all or any portion of such Restricted Payment among the clauses (i) through (xiii) of the preceding paragraph or among such clauses and the first paragraph of this Section 8.1 including clauses (a), (b) and (c), provided that at the time of such allocation or reallocation, all such Restricted Payments, or allocated portions thereof, would be permitted under this Section 8.1. The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) shall be the Fair Market Value on the date of the transfer, incurrence or issuance of such non-cash Restricted Payment.

The Board of Directors may at any time designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary only if: (i) immediately after giving effect to such designation, the Borrower could incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge

-85-

Coverage Ratio test under the first paragraph of Section 8.3 hereof or the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Borrower immediately after giving effect to such designation would not be less than the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Borrower immediately prior to such designation; and (ii) no Default or Unmatured Default would be in existence following such designation. Any such designation by the Board of Directors shall be evidenced by the Borrower promptly filing with the Administrative Agent a copy of the resolution giving effect to such designation and an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such designation complied with the foregoing provisions.

The Board of Directors may designate any Subsidiary of the Borrower to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary under the circumstances and pursuant to the requirements described in the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary,” which requirements include that such designation shall be made in compliance with this Section 8.1. For purposes of making the determination as to whether such designation would be made in compliance with this Section 8.1, all outstanding Investments by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (except to the extent repaid in cash) in the Subsidiary so designated shall be deemed to be Restricted Payments at the time of such designation and shall reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments under the first paragraph of this Section 8.1. All such outstanding Investments shall be deemed to constitute Investments in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such Investments at the time of such designation.

If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the foregoing requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it shall thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes hereof, and any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be incurred as of such date.

8.2. Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries. The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is not a Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower that is not a Guarantor to:

(i) (x) pay dividends or make any other distributions to the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (1) on its Capital Stock or (2) with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits, or (y) pay any Indebtedness owed to the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, provided that the priority of any preferred stock in receiving dividends or liquidating distributions prior to the payment of dividends or liquidating distributions on common stock shall not be deemed to be a restriction on the ability to make distributions on Capital Stock;

(ii) make loans or advances to the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; or

(iii) transfer any of its properties or assets to the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries.

However, the preceding restrictions shall not apply to encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:

-86-

(a) agreements in effect on September 27, 2012 and any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings (collectively, for the purposes of this Section 8.2, “amendments”) of any such agreements or any Indebtedness outstanding on September 27, 2012 to which such agreements relate, provided that such amendments are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such dividend, distribution and other payment restrictions than those contained in such agreement, as in effect on the September 27, 2012, as determined by the Borrower;

(b) any Credit Facility in effect after the Effective Date to the extent its provisions are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such dividend, distribution or other payment restrictions and loan or investment restrictions than those contained in any Credit Facility as in effect on the Effective Date, as determined by the Borrower;

(c) this Agreement, the Loans, the Guarantees or any indenture governing debt securities issued by the Borrower or any Guarantor that are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, with respect to such dividend, distribution or other payment restrictions and other loan or investment restrictions than those contained in this Agreement and the Guarantees, as determined by the Borrower;

(d) any future Liens that may be permitted to be granted under, or incurred not in violation of, any other provisions hereof;

(e) applicable law, rule, regulation or order;

(f) any instrument governing Indebtedness or Capital Stock, or any other agreement relating to any property or assets, of a Person acquired by or merged or consolidated with or into the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as in effect at the time of such acquisition or at the time it merges with or into the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person or such Person’s subsidiaries, so acquired and any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, extensions, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings thereof, provided that the restrictions in any such amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, extensions, supplements, refundings, replacement or refinancings are not materially more restrictive taken as a whole than those in effect on the date of the acquisition;

(g) restrictions of the nature described in clause (iii) above by reason of customary non-assignment provisions in contracts, agreements, licenses, leases and conveyances entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(h) purchase money obligations for property acquired in the ordinary course of business and Capital Lease Obligations that impose restrictions of the nature described in clause (iii) above on the property acquired or leased;

-87-

(i) customary provisions in bona fide contracts for the sale of property or assets that restricts the sale or disposition of such property or assets pending such sale;

(j) any agreement for the sale or other disposition of a Subsidiary that restricts distributions by that Subsidiary pending its sale or other disposition;

(k) agreements relating to secured Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 8.3 hereof, and not in violation of Section 8.6 hereof, that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of assets subject to such Liens;

(l) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness, provided that the restrictions contained in the agreements governing such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in the agreements governing the Indebtedness being refinanced, as determined by the Borrower;

(m) provisions with respect to the disposition or distribution of assets in partnership agreements, limited liability company organizational governance documents, joint venture agreements, asset sale agreements, agreements relating to Sale and Leaseback Transactions, stock sale agreements and other similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(n) other Indebtedness, Disqualified Equity or preferred stock permitted to be incurred subsequent to the Effective Date pursuant to Section 8.3 hereof, provided that the encumbrances and restrictions contained therein shall not materially impair the Borrower’s ability to make payments under the Loans when due, as determined in good faith by the Borrower;

(o) encumbrances or restrictions contained in, or in respect of, Hedging Obligations permitted under this Agreement from time to time; and

(p) restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business.

8.3. Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Equity. The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, “incur”) any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), other than Permitted Debt, and the Borrower shall not issue, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue, any Disqualified Equity; provided, however, that the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue shares of Disqualified Equity if the Borrower’s Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Borrower’s most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Equity is issued would have been at least 2.0 to 1.0, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if such additional Indebtedness had been incurred, or such Disqualified Equity had been issued, as the case may be, at the beginning of such four-quarter period.

-88-

The provisions of the first paragraph of this Section 8.3 shall not apply to the incurrence of any Permitted Debt. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 8.3, accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value or the amortization of original issue discount and the payment of interest or dividends in the form of additional Indebtedness shall not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 8.3.

The Borrower shall not incur any Indebtedness (including Permitted Debt) that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Borrower unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the Loans on substantially identical terms; provided, however, that no Indebtedness of the Borrower shall be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Borrower solely by virtue of being unsecured or by virtue of being secured on a first or junior Lien basis.

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 8.3, in the event that an item of proposed Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (i) through (xvi) of the definition of “Permitted Debt” or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 8.3, the Borrower shall, in its sole discretion, classify (or later classify or reclassify) in whole or in part such item of Indebtedness in any manner that complies with this Section 8.3 and such item of Indebtedness or a portion thereof may be classified (or later classified or reclassified) in whole or in part as having been incurred under more than one of the applicable clauses or pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 8.3; provided that all Indebtedness outstanding under the ABL Credit Facility on the Effective Date shall be treated as incurred on the Effective Date under clause (i) of the definition of Permitted Debt.

For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term Indebtedness, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit Indebtedness; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced, plus the amount of any reasonable premium (including reasonable tender premiums), defeasance costs and any reasonable fees and expenses incurred in connection with the incurrence of such new Indebtedness.

The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date shall be: (i) the accreted value of the Indebtedness, in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue dis-

-89-

count; (ii) the principal amount of the Indebtedness, in the case of any other Indebtedness; and (iii) in respect of Indebtedness of another Person secured by a Lien on the assets of the specified Person, the lesser of: (a) the Fair Market Value of such assets at the date of determination; and (b) the amount of the Indebtedness of the other Person.

8.4. Asset Sales.

(a) The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless: (i) the Borrower or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at least equal to the Fair Market Value (such Fair Market Value to be determined on the date of contractually agreeing to such Asset Sale and which shall give effect to the assumption by another Person of any liabilities as provided for in clause (ii)(a) of this paragraph) of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; (ii) at least 75% of the consideration received in such Asset Sale (provided such requirement shall be 50% for any Asset Sale to an MLP Party, other than sales of core refinery assets) is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents; provided that any of the following items shall be deemed to be cash and Cash Equivalents for the purposes of this clause (ii): (A) the assumption (by contract or otherwise) of any liabilities (as shown on the Borrower’s or the Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet) of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Loans or any Guarantee) by the transferee of any such assets that releases the Borrower or the Restricted Subsidiary from further liability with respect to such liabilities; (B) any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Borrower or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash or Cash Equivalents within 180 days following their receipt (to the extent of cash or Cash Equivalents received); (C) other assets or rights used or useful in a Permitted Business, including, without limitation, assets or Investments of the nature or type described in clause (m) of the definition of “Permitted Investments”; (D) accounts receivable of a business retained by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries following the sale of such business; provided that such accounts receivable (i) are not past due more than 60 days and (ii) do not have a payment date greater than 90 days from the date of the invoice creating such accounts receivable; and (E) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate fair market value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (E) not to exceed 10% of the Consolidated Net Worth of the Borrower at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration with the fair market value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received without giving effect to subsequent changes in value.

(b) Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, may apply such Net Proceeds, at its option:

(i) to permanently reduce:

(A) ABL Obligations or other Obligations under Senior Indebtedness (other than any Equal Priority Obligations or Junior Lien Obligations) that is secured by a Lien permitted under this Agreement (which Lien is either (x) senior to

-90-

the Lien of the Loans with respect to the Collateral or (y) on an asset not constituting Collateral (in the case of this clause (y), such permanent reduction shall only be permitted with the Net Asset Sale Proceeds of an Asset Sale consisting of assets which do not constitute Collateral)), and, in each case, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto;

(B) Equal Priority Obligations of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary (and to correspondingly reduce any outstanding commitments with respect thereto); provided that to the extent the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary reduces or makes an offer to prepay, as applicable, Equal Priority Obligations other than the Loans, the Borrower shall equally and ratably reduce or make an offer to prepay, as applicable, the Loans at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus the amount of accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount of the Loans that would otherwise be prepaid; or

(C) Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, other than Indebtedness owed to the Borrower or another Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor;

(ii) to acquire a controlling interest in another business or all or substantially all of the assets of, or Capital Stock or operating line of, another business, in each case engaged in a Permitted Business,

(iii) to make capital expenditures, or

(iv) to acquire other non-current assets to be used or useful in a Permitted Business, including, without limitation, assets or Investments of the nature or type described in clause (m) of the definition of “Permitted Investments”;

provided that the Borrower or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary shall be deemed to have complied with clause (b), (c) or (d) if, within 365 days of such Asset Sale, the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary shall have commenced and not completed or abandoned an expenditure or Investment, or a binding agreement with respect to an expenditure or Investment, in compliance with clause (b), (c) or (d), and that expenditure or Investment is substantially completed within a date one year and six months after the date of such Asset Sale; provided further, pending the final application of any such Net Proceeds pursuant to this Section 8.4, the Borrower or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary may temporarily reduce Indebtedness under any Credit Facility or otherwise expend or invest such Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by this Agreement.

(c) Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not invested or applied within the time period set forth in the last paragraph of Section 8.4(b) shall be deemed to constitute “Excess Asset Sale Proceeds.”

Within five days after the date on which the aggregate amount of Excess Asset Sale Proceeds exceeds $100.0 million (or at the Borrower’s option, an earlier date), the Borrower shall be required to make an offer to all Lenders and the holders of any Indebtedness the Liens

-91-

securing which rank equally and ratably to the Loans (“Equal Priority Indebtedness”), that is subject to requirements with respect to the application of net proceeds from asset sales that are substantially similar to those contained in this Agreement (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to purchase on a pro rata basis the maximum principal amount of the Loans and such other Equal Priority Indebtedness that may be purchased or prepaid, as applicable, out of the prorated Excess Asset Sale Proceeds, at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount (or accreted value) thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon, to the date of prepayment or purchase, subject to the right of Lenders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 4.2 hereof. To the extent that the aggregate principal amount (or accreted value) of Loans and other Equal Priority Indebtedness tendered (and electing to be redeemed or repaid, as applicable) pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Asset Sale Proceeds, the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries may use any remaining Excess Asset Sale Proceeds for general corporate purposes and any other purpose not prohibited by this Agreement. If the aggregate principal amount (or accreted value) of Loans or Equal Priority Indebtedness surrendered by holders thereof exceeds the amount of the prorated Excess Asset Sale Proceeds, the Administrative Agent shall select such Loans and such other Equal Priority Indebtedness to be prepaid or purchased on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount or accreted value tendered. Upon completion of the offer to purchase, the amount of Excess Asset Sale Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

8.5. Transactions with Affiliates. The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with any Affiliate of any such Person (each of the foregoing, an “Affiliate Transaction”) if such Affiliate Transaction involves aggregate consideration in excess of $5.0 million, unless

(i) the terms of such Affiliate Transaction are no less favorable in any material respect to the Borrower or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, than those that could have been obtained in a comparable arm’s-length transaction by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary with a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Borrower; and

(ii) if such Affiliate Transaction involves aggregate payments or value in excess of $50.0 million, the Borrower delivers to the Administrative Agent a resolution adopted by its Board of Directors approving such Affiliate Transaction and confirming that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (ii) above;

provided that none of the following shall be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and therefore shall not be subject to the provisions of this Section 8.5:

(1) Affiliate Transactions involving the purchase, sale, gathering, marketing, storage, terminalling, construction, transportation, and related logistical and operating activities, of crude oil, natural gas and other hydrocarbons, and re-

-92-

fined products therefrom, in the ordinary course of any Permitted Business, so long as such transactions are priced in line with industry accepted benchmark prices and the pricing of such transactions are equivalent to the pricing of comparable transactions with unrelated third parties;

(2) reasonable fees and compensation paid to or for the benefit of any employee, officer or director of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, and any employment agreement, customary benefit program or arrangement, equity award, equity option or equity appreciation agreement or plan, agreement or other similar compensation plan or arrangement entered into by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of its business, and any indemnities or other transactions permitted or required by bylaw, statutory provisions or any of the foregoing agreements, plans or arrangements;

(4) the existence of, or performance by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary of its obligations under the terms of, any written agreement in effect on September 27, 2012, as such agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time and any similar agreements which it may enter into thereafter; provided, however, that any amendment, modification or supplement to any such agreement or any such similar agreements entered into after September 27, 2012 shall be permitted only to the extent that its terms, taken as a whole, are not materially less favorable to the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary as compared to the terms of the agreement in effect on September 27, 2012, as determined by the Borrower;

(5) loans or advances to officers, directors and employees for moving, entertainment and travel expenses, drawing accounts and similar expenditures and other purposes, in each case, in the ordinary course of business;

(6) maintenance in the ordinary course of business of customary benefit programs or arrangements for employees, officers or directors, including vacation plans, health and life insurance plans, deferred compensation plans and retirement or savings plans and similar plans;

(7) fees and compensation paid and other benefits made available to, and indemnity provided on behalf of, officers, directors, employees or consultants of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in their capacity as such, including reimbursement or advancement of out-of-pocket expenses and provisions of officers’ and directors’ liability insurance, to the extent such fees and compensation are customary;

(10) any transactions between the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary and any Person, a director of which is also a director of the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that such director abstains from voting as a director of the Borrower or the Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, in connection with the approval of the transaction;

(11) any sale or other disposition or related transaction specified by the Omnibus Agreement;

(12) transactions with a Person that is an Affiliate of the Borrower solely because the Borrower owns, directly or indirectly, an Equity Interest in, or controls, such Person;

(14) guarantees of performance by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business, except for guarantees of Indebtedness in respect of borrowed money; and

(15) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers, or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Agreement which are fair to the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, in the reasonable determination of the Borrower or that meet the requirements of clause (i) above.

8.6. Liens. The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien securing any Indebtedness (other than Permitted Liens) upon any of its property or assets (including Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary), whether owned on the Effective Date or acquired after the Effective Date, unless (i) in the case of Liens securing Subordinated Obligations of the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary, the Loans or the Guarantees, as applicable, are contemporaneously secured by a Lien on such property or assets on a senior basis to the Subordinated Obligations so secured with the same priority that the Loans or the Guarantees, as applicable, have to such Subordinated Obligations until such time as such Subordinated Obligations are no longer so secured by a Lien; and (ii) in the case of Liens securing Senior Indebtedness of the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary, the Loans or the Guarantees, as applicable, are contemporaneously secured by a Lien on such property or assets on an equal and ratable basis with the Senior Indebtedness so secured until such time as such Senior Indebtedness is no longer so secured by a Lien.

(b) Following the occurrence of an Investment Grade Rating Event, if the Borrower or any Subsidiary incurs any Indebtedness secured by a Lien (other than a Permitted Lien) on any Principal Property or on any share of stock or Indebtedness of a Subsidiary, the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall secure the Loans equally and ratably with (or, at the option of the Borrower, prior to) the Indebtedness so secured until such time as such Indebtedness is no longer secured by a Lien, unless the aggregate amount of all Indebtedness secured by a Lien and the Attributable Amounts of all Sale and Leaseback Transactions involving Principal Properties would not exceed 15% of the Borrower’s Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.

8.8. Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets.

The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans; provided that the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or in the opinion of its counsel, may expose it to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Requirements of Law. For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 5 hereof on the Effective Date and the Funding Date, respectively, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory

-101-

to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Effective Date and the Funding Date, respectively, specifying its objection thereto.

10.5. Notice of Default. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Unmatured Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Unmatured Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, it shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders and the Collateral Agent. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Unmatured Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders, provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Unmatured Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

10.6. Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and each other Loan Party and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or the Collateral 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 credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and any other Loan Party. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, assets, operations, properties, financial condition, prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower or any other Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

10.7. Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Loan Parties and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), ratably according to their respective portions of the aggregate prin-

-102-

cipal amount of Loans outstanding on the date on which indemnification is sought (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with their respective portions of the aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (including at any time following the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing, provided that no Lender shall be liable to an Agent for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent’s, gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, further, that no action taken by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be required by the Loan Documents) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 10.7. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time occur (including at any time following the payment of the Loans), this Section 10.7 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse each Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by such Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice rendered in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that such Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower, provided that such reimbursement by the Lenders shall not affect the Borrower’s continuing reimbursement obligations with respect thereto. If any indemnity furnished to any Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, such Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished; provided, in no event shall this sentence require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess of such Lender’s pro rata portion thereof; and provided, further, this sentence shall not be deemed to require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement resulting from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section 10.7 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

10.8. Agents in Their Individual Capacities. Each Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower and any other Loan Party as though such Agent were not an Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. With respect to the Loans made by it, each Agent shall have the

-103-

same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.

10.9. Successor Agents. The Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, subject to the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) so long as no Default under Section 9.1 hereof is continuing, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, subject to the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) so long as no Default under Section 9.1 hereof is continuing, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, hereunder, and upon the transfer by the retiring (or retired) Agent to the successor Agent of all sums, together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Agent under the Loan Documents, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower (following the effectiveness of such appointment) to such Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section 10 (including Section 10.7 hereof) and Section 11.5 hereof shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as an Administrative Agent.

10.10. Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable Requirement of Law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by any applicable Loan Party and without limiting the obligation of any applicable Loan Party to do so) fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including penalties, additions to Tax and interest, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses, allocated staff costs and any out of pocket expenses. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at

-104-

any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 10.10.

10.11. Collateral Documents and Collateral Agent under Collateral Documents and Guarantee. Each Secured Party hereby further authorizes the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, on behalf of and for the benefit of Secured Parties, to be the agent for and representative of the Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral and the Collateral Documents. Subject to Section 11.1, without further written consent or authorization from any Secured Party, the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, may (a) execute any documents or instruments necessary in connection with a disposition of assets permitted by this Agreement, (b) release any Lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the subject of such disposition of assets or with respect to which Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 11.1) have otherwise consented or (c) release any Guarantor from the Guarantee with respect to which Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 11.1) have otherwise consented.

10.12. Right to Realize on Collateral and Enforce Guarantee. Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower, the Agents and each Secured Party hereby agree that (a) no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Guarantee; it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the Collateral Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent, and (b) in the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the Collateral Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale or other disposition.

10.13. Appointment. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding, constituting a Default under clause (g) or (h) of Section 9.1 hereof, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Indebtedness that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the

-105-

Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel, to the extent due under Section 11.5) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, to the extent due under Section 11.5.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Indebtedness or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

SECTION 11. Miscellaneous

11.1. Amendments, Waivers and Releases.

(a) Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof, may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.1. The Required Lenders may, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent shall, from time to time, (a) enter into with the relevant Loan Party or Loan Parties written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive in writing, on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Default or Unmatured Default and its consequences; provided, however, that each such waiver and each such amendment, supplement or modification shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, further, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall: (i) forgive or reduce any portion of any Loan, extend the final scheduled maturity date of any Loan or reduce the stated rate (it being understood that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest at the Default Rate or amend Section 2.8(c)), or forgive any portion, or extend the date for the payment, of any interest or fee payable hereunder (other than as a result of waiving the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates), or make any Loan, interest, fee or other amount payable in any currency other than Dollars, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, or (ii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 11.1, or reduce the percentages specified in the definition of the term “Required Lenders”, consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of its rights and obli-

-106-

Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the affected Lenders and shall be binding upon the Borrower, such Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the affected Loans. In the case of any waiver, the Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Unmatured Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; it being understood that no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Unmatured Default or impair any right consequent thereon. In connection with the foregoing provisions, the Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligations to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of such Lender.

(b) Furthermore, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may amend this Agreement and the other Loan Documents without notice to or consent of any Lender: (i) to

-107-

(c) Any Customary Intercreditor Agreement may be amended without the consent of any Lender or Administrative Agent (i) in connection with the permitted entry into such Customary Intercreditor Agreement of any class of additional secured creditors holding ABL Obligations, Equal Priority Obligations or Junior Lien Obligations, as applicable, to effectuate such entry into such Customary Intercreditor Agreement and to make the lien of such class equal and ratable with, or junior or senior to, as applicable, the lien of the ABL Obligations, Equal Priority Obligations or Junior Lien Obligations or (ii) to otherwise effectuate the purposes of such Customary Intercreditor Agreement.

(d) Each Lender hereunder (x) consents to the amendment of any Loan Document in the manner and for the purposes set forth in the foregoing clauses (b) and (c) of this Section 11.1, (y) agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of any amendment to any Loan Document pursuant to such clauses and (z) authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent to enter into any amendment to any Loan Document pursuant to such clauses on behalf of such Lender. After an amendment under clauses (b) or (c) of this Section 11.1 becomes effective, the Borrower shall mail to the Administrative Agent, who shall promptly notify the Lenders, a notice briefly describing such amendment. The failure to give such notice to the Administrative Agent, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of any such amendment.

11.2. Notices. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications provided for hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be in writing (including by facsimile transmission). All such written notices shall be mailed, faxed or delivered to the applicable address, facsimile number or electronic mail address, and all notices and other communications expressly permitted hereunder to be given by telephone shall be made to the applicable telephone number, as follows:

11.3. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Requirements of Law.

11.4. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder, in the other Loan Documents and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans hereunder.

11.5. Payment of Expenses; Indemnification. The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Agents for all their reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation and execution and delivery of, and any amendment, waiver, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP, in its capacity as counsel to the Sole Lead Arranger and the Sole Bookrunner, and one counsel in each appropriate local jurisdiction (other than any allocated costs of in-house counsel), (b) to pay or reimburse each Agent for all its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the other Agents (unless there is an actual or perceived conflict of interest in which case each such Person may retain its own counsel), or such other counsel retained with the Borrower’s consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) (c) to pay, indemnify, and hold harmless each Lender and Agent from, any and all recording and filing fees and (d) to pay, indemnify, and hold harmless each Lender and Agent and their respective Related Parties from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims or demands arising out of any actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever, whether or not such proceedings are brought by the Borrower, any of its Related Parties or any other third

-109-

Person, including reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and other charges of one primary counsel for all such Persons, taken as a whole, and, if necessary, by a single firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction for all such Persons, taken as a whole (unless there is an actual or perceived conflict of interest in which case each such Person may, with the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) retain its own counsel), relating to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including, without limitation, any of the foregoing relating to the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law (other than by such indemnified person or any of its Related Parties (other than any trustee or advisor)) or to any actual or alleged presence, release or threatened release of Hazardous Materials involving or attributable to the operations of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (all the foregoing in this clause (d), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that the Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any Agent or any Lender or any of their respective Related Parties with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent it has been determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from (i) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified or any of its Related Parties, (ii) any material breach (or, in the case of a proceeding brought by the Borrower, any breach) of any Loan Document by the party to be indemnified or (iii) disputes, claims, demands, actions, judgments or suits not arising from any act or omission by the Borrower or its Affiliates, brought by an indemnified Person against any other indemnified Person (other than disputes, claims, demands, actions, judgments or suits involving claims against any Agent in its capacity as such). No Person entitled to indemnification under clause (d) of this Section 11.5 shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through internet, electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems (including IntraLinks or SyndTrak Online) in connection with this Agreement, except to the extent that such damages have resulted from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of the party to be indemnified or any of its Related Parties (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision), nor shall any such Person, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries have any liability for any special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings) relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Effective Date). All amounts payable under this Section 11.5 shall be paid within 30 Business Days of receipt by the Borrower of an invoice relating thereto setting forth such expense in reasonable detail. The agreements in this Section 11.5 shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

-110-

transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 11.6.

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire in a form approved by the Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Questionnaire”); and

(E) any assignment to the Borrower or any Subsidiary shall also be subject to the requirements of Section 11.6(h).

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to clause (b)(iv) of this Section 11.6, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.11, 4.4 and 11.5 hereof). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 11.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with clause (c) of this Section 11.6.

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Further, each Register shall contain the name and address of the Administrative Agent and the lending office through which each such Person acts under this Agreement. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in clause (b) of this Section 11.6 (unless waived) and any written consent to such assignment required by clause (b) of this Section 11.6, the Ad-

-112-

ministrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it), provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in clause (i) of the proviso to Section 11.1 that affects such Participant. Subject to clause (c)(ii) of this Section 11.6, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.10, 2.11 and 4.4 hereof to the same extent as if it were a Lender (subject to the limitations and requirements of those Sections as though it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 11.6, including the requirements of clause (e) of Section 4.4). To the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.8(b) hereof as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 11.8(a) hereof as though it were a Lender.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.10, 2.11 or 4.4 hereof than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided that the Participant shall be subject to the provisions in Section 2.12 as if it were an assignee under clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 11.6. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”). 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. No Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.

(d) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under

-113-

this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender, and this Section 11.6 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest, provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. The Borrower hereby agrees that, upon request of any Lender at any time and from time to time after the Borrower has made its initial borrowing hereunder, the Borrower shall provide to such Lender, at the Borrower’s own expense, a promissory note, substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto, as the case may be, evidencing the Loans, owing to such Lender.

(e) Subject to Section 11.16 hereof, the Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant, secured creditor of such Lender or assignee (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates that has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower and its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement or that has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower and its Affiliates in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of the Borrower and its Affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Agreement.

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

(g) SPV Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (a “SPV”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPV to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPV elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPV hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPV shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPV, it shall not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 11.6, any SPV may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent

-114-

of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrower and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPV to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPV. This Section 11.6(g) may not be amended without the written consent of the SPV. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, subject to the following sentence, each SPV shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.11 and 4.4 to the same extent as if it were a Lender (subject to the limitations and requirements of Sections 2.10, 2.11 and 4.4 as though it were a Lender and has acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 11.6, including the requirements of clause (e) of Section 4.4). Notwithstanding the prior sentence, an SPV shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.10, 2.11 or 4.4 than its Granting Lender would have been entitled to receive absent the grant to such SPV, unless such grant to such SPV is made with the Borrowers’ prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (x) any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of its Loans to the Borrower or any Subsidiary and (y) the Borrower and any Subsidiary may, from time to time, purchase or prepay Loans, in each case, on a non-pro rata basis in accordance with Section 4.1(b); provided that any Loans acquired by the Borrower or any Subsidiary shall be retired and cancelled promptly upon the acquisition thereof.

11.7. Replacements of Lenders Under Certain Circumstances.

(a) The Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender that (a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.10 or 4.4 hereof, (b) is affected in the manner described in Section 2.10(a)(iii) hereof and as a result thereof any of the actions described in such Section is required to be taken or (c) becomes a Defaulting Lender, with a replacement bank or other financial institution, provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Default under Section 9.1(a), (b), (g) or (h) hereof shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) the Borrower shall repay (or the replacement bank or institution shall purchase, at par) all Loans and other amounts (other than any disputed amounts), pursuant to Section 2.10, 2.11 or 4.4 hereof, as the case may be) owing to such replaced Lender prior to the date of replacement, (iv) the replacement bank or institution, if not already a Lender, and the terms and conditions of such replacement, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (v) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.6 hereof (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein) and (vi) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.

(b) If any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination that pursuant to the terms of Section 11.1 hereof requires the consent of all of the Lenders affected and with respect to which

-115-

the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent, then provided no Default then exists, the Borrower shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent) to replace such Non-Consenting Lender by requiring such Non-Consenting Lender to assign its Loans, and its Commitments hereunder to one or more assignees reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, provided that (a) all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Non-Consenting Lender being replaced shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such assignment and (b) the replacement Lender shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lender a price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. In connection with any such assignment, the Borrower, Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 11.6 hereof.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each party hereto agrees that any assignment pursuant to the terms of this Section 11.7 may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and that the Lender making such assignment need not be a party thereto.

11.8. Adjustments; Set-off.

(a) If any Lender (a “benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment in respect of any principal of or interest on all or part of the Loans made by it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 9.1(g) or (h) hereof, or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Loans, or interest thereon, such benefited Lender shall (i) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (ii) purchase for cash at face value from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Loans, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably in accordance with the aggregate principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them; provided, however, that, (A) if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest and (B) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (1) any payment made by the Borrower or any other Loan Party pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (2) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or Commitments to any assignee or participant or (3) any disproportionate payment obtained by a Lender as a result of the extension by Lenders of the maturity date or expiration date of some but not all Loans or Commitments or any increase in the Applicable LIBOR Margin in respect of Loans or Commitments of Lenders that have consented to any such extension. Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under Requirements of Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

-116-

(b) After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, in addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by Requirements of Law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Borrower hereunder or under any Loan Document (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Settlement Assets, except to the effect of Settlement Payments such Lender is obligated to make to a third party in respect of such Settlement Assets or as otherwise agreed in writing between the Borrower and such Lenders). Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower (and the Loan Parties, if applicable) and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

11.9. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile or other electronic transmission, i.e. a “pdf” or a “tif”), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

11.10. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

11.11. Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the agreement of the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent nor any Lender relative to subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

11.12. GOVERNING LAW. THE LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN THOSE CONTAINING A CONTRARY EXPRESS CHOICE OF LAW PROVISION) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Each Lender shall be solely responsible for timely accessing posted documents or requesting delivery of paper copies of such documents from the Administrative Agent and maintaining its copies of such documents. Nothing in this Section 11.17 shall prejudice the right of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any other Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.

(b) The Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees (A) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s e-mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (B) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address.

NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties” and each, an “Agent Party”) have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender, or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials through the internet, except to the extent the liability of any Agent Party resulted from such Agent Party’s (or any

-121-

of its Related Parties’ (other than any trustee or advisor)) gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or material breach of the Loan Documents.

(e) The Borrower and each Lender acknowledge that certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrower, its Subsidiaries or their securities) and, if documents or notices required to be delivered pursuant to the Loan Documents or otherwise are being distributed through the Platform, any document or notice that the Borrower has indicated contains only publicly available information with respect to the Borrower may be posted on that portion of the Platform designated for such public-side Lenders. If the Borrower has not indicated whether a document or notice delivered contains only publicly available information, the Administrative Agent shall post such document or notice solely on that portion of the Platform designated for Lenders who wish to receive material nonpublic information with respect to the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to indicate whether any document or notice contains only publicly available information.

11.18. USA PATRIOT Act. The Agents and each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Agent and such Lender to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the Patriot Act.

11.19. Payments Set Aside.

EXHIBIT A

FORM OF GUARANTEE

THIS GUARANTEE (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Guarantee”) is made as of January 28, 2013 by each of the Subsidiaries of the Borrower (as defined below) party hereto on the date hereof (each an “Initial Guarantor”, and together with any additional Domestic Subsidiaries which become parties to this Guarantee by executing a Supplement hereto in the form attached hereto as Annex I, the “Guarantors”), in favor of JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent (the “Agent”) for the benefit of the Secured Parties under the below-described Credit Agreement. Each capitalized term used herein and not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Credit Agreement.

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, Tesoro Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), certain lending institutions (each a “Lender”, and collectively, “Lenders”), and the Agent have entered or are about to enter into a Credit Agreement dated as of January 28, 2013 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, the “Credit Agreement”);

WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the extensions of credit by the Lenders under the Credit Agreement that each of the Guarantors (constituting all of the Subsidiaries of the Borrower required to execute this Guarantee pursuant to Section 7.13 of the Credit Agreement) execute and deliver this Guarantee, whereby each of the Guarantors, without limitation and with full recourse, shall guarantee the payment when due of all Secured Obligations, including, without limitation, all principal, interest, letter of credit reimbursement obligations and other amounts that shall be at any time payable by the Borrower under the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents; and

WHEREAS, in consideration of the direct and indirect financial and other support that the Borrower has provided, and such direct and indirect financial and other support as the Borrower may in the future provide, to the Guarantors, and in consideration of the increased ability of each Guarantor to receive funds through contributions to capital, intercompany advances or otherwise, from funds provided to the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the flexibility provided by the Credit Agreement for each Guarantor to do so which significantly facilitates the business operations of the Borrower and each Guarantor and as a result improves the ability of the Borrower and each Guarantor to safeguard important sources of product supply, and in consideration of the improved coordination and productivity of management of the Borrower and each Guarantor through the centralized and integrated treasury and reporting functions fostered by the credit arrangements evidenced by the Credit Agreement, and in order to induce the Lenders and the Agent to enter into the Credit Agreement, each of the Guarantors is willing to guarantee the Secured Obligations under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Section 1.Representations, Warranties and Covenants. In order to induce the Agent and the Lenders to enter into the Credit Agreement and to make the Loans and the other financial accommodations to the Borrower, each of the Guarantors represents and warrants to each Lender and the Agent as of the date of this Agreement, giving effect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents on the Effective Closing Date, and thereafter on the Funding Date as required by Section 5B of the Credit Agreement that:

(a)It (i) is a sociedad anónima, corporation, limited liability company or partnership (or equivalent entity under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization or incorporation) duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of each of its jurisdictions of organization or incorporation, (ii) is duly qualified to do business under the laws of each of its jurisdictions of organization or incorporation, and (iii) has all requisite power and authority to own, operate and encumber its property and to conduct its business in each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted.

(b)It has the power and authority and legal right to execute and deliver this Guarantee and to perform its obligations hereunder. The execution and delivery by it of this Guarantee and the performance by it of each of its obligations hereunder have been duly authorized by proper proceedings, and this Guarantee constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Guarantor, enforceable against such Guarantor, in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyances, reorganization or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally, (ii) general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and (iii) requirements of reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing.

(c)Neither the execution and delivery by it of this Guarantee, nor the consummation by it of the transactions herein contemplated, nor compliance by it with the terms and provisions hereof, will (i) conflict with any charter or other organizational documents of such Guarantor, (ii) conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a default under any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree or award (including, without limitation, any environmental property transfer laws or regulations) applicable to such Guarantor or any provisions of any indenture, instrument or agreement to which such Guarantor is party or is subject or which it or its Property is bound or affected, or require termination of any such indenture, instrument or agreement, (iii) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien whatsoever upon any of the property or assets of such Guarantor, other than Liens permitted or created by the Loan Documents, or (iv) require any approval of any of such Guarantor's board of directors or shareholders or unitholders except such as have been obtained. Except as set forth in Section 6.3 of the Credit Agreement, the execution, delivery and performance by the Guarantors of each of the Loan Documents to which such Guarantor is a party do not and will not require any registration with, consent or approval of, or notice to, or other action to, with or by any governmental authority, including under any environmental property transfer laws or regulations, except filings, consents or notices which have been made.

- 2 -

In addition to the foregoing, each of the Guarantors covenants that, so long as any Lender has any Commitment outstanding under the Credit Agreement or any amount payable under the Credit Agreement or any other Secured Obligations shall remain unpaid, it will, and, if necessary, will enable the Borrower to, fully comply with those covenants and agreements of the Borrower applicable to such Guarantor set forth in the Credit Agreement.

Section 2.The Guarantee. Each of the Guarantors hereby unconditionally guarantees, jointly and severally with the other Guarantors, the full and punctual payment and performance when due (whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise) of the Secured Obligations, including, without limitation, (i) the principal of and interest on the Loans made to the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement, (ii) all other amounts payable by the Borrower under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, all Hedging Obligations, and (iii) the punctual and faithful performance, keeping, observance, and fulfillment by the Borrower of all of the agreements, conditions, covenants, and obligations of the Borrower contained in the Loan Documents (all of the foregoing being referred to collectively as the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Upon (x) the failure by the Borrower, or any of its Affiliates, as applicable, to pay punctually any such amount or perform such obligation, and (y) such failure continuing beyond any applicable grace or notice and cure period, each of the Guarantors agrees that it shall forthwith on demand pay such amount or perform such obligation at the place and in the manner specified in the Credit Agreement or the relevant Loan Document, as the case may be. Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that this Guarantee is an absolute, irrevocable and unconditional guarantee of payment and is not a guarantee of collection.

Section 3.Guarantee Unconditional. The obligations of each of the Guarantors hereunder shall be unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by:

(i)any extension, renewal, settlement, indulgence, compromise, waiver or release of or with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any obligation of any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether (in any such case) by operation of law or otherwise, or any failure or omission to enforce any right, power or remedy with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any obligation of any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(ii)any modification or amendment of or supplement to the Credit Agreement, any agreement in respect of Hedging Obligations or any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, any such amendment which may increase the amount of, or the interest rates applicable to, any of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby;

(iii)any release, surrender, compromise, settlement, waiver, subordination or modification, with or without consideration, of any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, any other guaranties with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, or any other obligation of any person or entity with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, or any nonperfection or invalidity of any direct or indirect security for the Guaranteed Obligations;

- 3 -

(iv)any change in the corporate, partnership or other existence, structure or ownership of the Borrower or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the Borrower or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any of their respective assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of the Borrower or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(v)the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which the Guarantors may have at any time against the Borrower, any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Agent, any Secured Party or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or in connection with any unrelated transactions;

(vi)the enforceability or validity of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or the genuineness, enforceability or validity of any agreement relating thereto or with respect to any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, or any other invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the Borrower or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, for any reason related to the Credit Agreement, any agreement in respect of Hedging Obligations or any other Loan Document, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by the Borrower or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, of any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(vii)the failure of the Agent to take any steps to perfect and maintain any security interest in, or to preserve any rights to, any security or collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations, if any;

(viii)the election by, or on behalf of, any one or more of the Secured Parties, in any proceeding instituted under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (11 U.S.C. 101 et seq.) (the “Bankruptcy Code”), of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code;

(ix)any borrowing or grant of a security interest by the Borrower, as debtor-in-possession, under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code;

(x)the disallowance, under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, of all or any portion of the claims of the Secured Parties or the Agent for repayment of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(xi)the failure of any other guarantor to sign or become party to this Guarantee or any amendment, change, or reaffirmation hereof; or

(xii)any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Borrower, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Agent, any Secured Party or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this Section 3, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of any Guarantor's obligations hereunder.

- 4 -

Section 4.Discharge Only Upon Payment In Full; Partial Invalidity; Reinstatement In Certain Circumstances. Each of the Guarantors' obligations hereunder shall remain in full force and effect until all Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash and the Commitments shall have terminated or expired. If and to the extent that any Guarantor's obligations hereunder are terminated or are otherwise deemed to be invalid or unenforceable, such termination, invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the continued effectiveness, validity or enforceability of this Guarantee with respect to any one or more of the other Guarantors. If at any time any payment of the principal of or interest on any Loan, Hedging Obligation or any other Loan Document is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise, each of the Guarantors' obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made at such time.

Section 5.General Waivers; Additional Waivers.

(A)General Waivers. Each of the Guarantors irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand or action on delinquency, protest, the benefit of any statutes of limitations and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against the Borrower, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other Person.

(B)Additional Waivers. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of the Guarantors hereby absolutely, unconditionally, knowingly, and expressly waives:

(i)any right it may have to revoke this Guarantee as to future indebtedness or notice of acceptance hereof;

(ii)(1) notice of acceptance hereof; (2) notice of any loans or other financial accommodations made or extended under the Loan Documents or the creation or existence of any Guaranteed Obligations; (3) notice of the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, subject, however, to each Guarantor's right to make inquiry of Agent and Secured Parties to ascertain the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations at any reasonable time; (4) notice of any adverse change in the financial condition of the Borrower or of any other fact that might increase such Guarantor's risk hereunder; (5) notice of presentment for payment, demand, protest, and notice thereof as to any instruments among the Loan Documents; (6) notice of any Unmatured Default or Default; and (7) all other notices (except if such notice is specifically required to be given to such Guarantor hereunder or under the Loan Documents) and demands to which each Guarantor might otherwise be entitled;

(iii)its right, if any, to require the Agent and the other Secured Parties to institute suit against, or to exhaust any rights and remedies which the Agent and the other Secured Parties has or may have against, the other Guarantors or any third party, or against any Collateral provided by the other Guarantors, or any third party; and each Guarantor further waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense (other than the defense that the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been fully and finally performed and indefeasibly paid) of the other Guarantors or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of the other Guarantors in respect thereof;

- 5 -

(iv)(a) any rights to assert against the Agent and the other Secured Parties any defense (legal or equitable), set-off, counterclaim, or claim which such Guarantor may now or at any time hereafter have against the other Guarantors or any other party liable to the Agent and the other Secured Parties; (b) any defense, set-off, counterclaim, or claim, of any kind or nature, arising directly or indirectly from the present or future lack of perfection, sufficiency, validity, or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor; (c) any defense such Guarantor has to performance hereunder, and any right such Guarantor has to be exonerated, arising by reason of: the impairment or suspension of the Agent's and the other Secured Parties' rights or remedies against the other Guarantors; the alteration by the Agent and the other Secured Parties of the Guaranteed Obligations; any discharge of the other Guarantors' obligations to the Agent and the other Secured Parties by operation of law as a result of the Agent's and the other Secured Parties' intervention or omission; or the acceptance by the Agent and the other Secured Parties of anything in partial satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations; and (d) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor's liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof, and any act which shall defer or delay the operation of any statute of limitations applicable to the Guaranteed Obligations shall similarly operate to defer or delay the operation of such statute of limitations applicable to such Guarantor's liability hereunder; and

(v)any defense arising by reason of or deriving from (a) any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by the Agent and the other Secured Parties; or (b) any election by the Agent and the other Secured Parties under Section 1111(b) of Title 11 of the United States Code entitled “Bankruptcy”, as now and hereafter in effect (or any successor statute), to limit the amount of, or any collateral securing, its claim against the Guarantors.

Section 6.Subordination of Subrogation. Until the Guaranteed Obligations have been fully and finally performed and indefeasibly paid (other than contingent indemnity obligations) the Guarantors (i) shall have no right of subrogation with respect to such Guaranteed Obligations and (ii) waive any right to enforce any remedy which the Secured Parties or the Agent now have or may hereafter have against the Borrower, any endorser or any guarantor of all or any part of the Secured Obligations or any other Person, and until such time the Guarantors waive any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to the Secured Parties and the Agent to secure the payment or performance of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other liability of the Borrower to the Secured Parties. Should any Guarantor have the right, notwithstanding the foregoing, to exercise its subrogation rights, each Guarantor hereby expressly and irrevocably (A) subordinates any and all rights at law or in equity to subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off that the Guarantor may have to the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations until the Guaranteed Obligations are paid in full in cash (other than contingent indemnity obligations) and (B) waives any and all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor until the Guaranteed Obligations are paid in full in cash. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that this subordination is intended to benefit the Agent and the Secured Parties and shall not limit or otherwise affect such Guarantor's liability hereunder or the enforceability of this

- 6 -

Guarantee, and that the Agent, the Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns are intended third party beneficiaries of the waivers and agreements set forth in this Section 6.

Section 7.Contribution with Respect to Guaranteed Obligations.

(a)To the extent that any payment is made by or on behalf of any Guarantor under or pursuant to this Guarantee or the Security Agreement (a “Guarantor Payment”) which, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments then previously or concurrently made by any other Guarantor, exceeds the amount which otherwise would have been paid by or attributable to such Guarantor if each Guarantor had paid the aggregate Guaranteed Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payment in the same proportion as such Guarantor's “Allocable Amount” (as defined below) (as determined immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment) bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each of the Guarantors as determined immediately prior to the making of such Guarantor Payment, then, following payment in full in cash of the Guarantor Payment and the Guaranteed Obligations, and all Commitments have terminated or expired, such Guarantor shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each other Guarantor for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Guarantee, the amount guaranteed by each Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the extent, if any, required so that its obligations hereunder shall not be subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law. In determining the limitations, if any, on the amount of any Guarantor's obligations hereunder pursuant to the preceding sentence, it is the intention of the parties hereto that any rights of subrogation, indemnification or contribution which such Guarantor may have under this Guarantee, any other agreement or applicable law shall be taken into account

(b)As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of any Guarantor shall be equal to the excess of the fair saleable value of the property of such Guarantor over the total liabilities of such Guarantor (including the maximum amount reasonably expected to become due in respect of contingent liabilities, calculated, without duplication, assuming each other Guarantor that is also liable for such contingent liability pays its ratable share thereof), giving effect to all payments made by other Guarantors as of such date in a manner to maximize the amount of such contributions.

(c)This Section 7 is intended only to define the relative rights of the Guarantors, and nothing set forth in this Section 7 is intended to or shall impair the obligations of the Guarantors, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Guarantee.

(d)The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder shall constitute assets of the Guarantor or Guarantors to which such contribution and indemnification is owing.

(e)The rights of the indemnifying Guarantors against other Guarantors under this Section 7 shall be exercisable upon the full and indefeasible payment of the Guaranteed Obliga-

- 7 -

tions in cash and the termination or expiry on terms reasonably acceptable to the Agent of the Commitments under the Credit Agreement.

Section 8.Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by the Borrower under the Credit Agreement, any counterparty to any agreement in respect of Hedging Obligations or any other Loan Document is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or any of their Affiliates, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of the Credit Agreement, any agreement in respect of Hedging Obligations or any other Loan Document shall nonetheless be payable by each of the Guarantors hereunder forthwith on demand by the Agent.

Section 9.Notices. All notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder shall be given in the manner prescribed in Section 11.2 of the Credit Agreement with respect to the Agent at its notice address therein and, with respect to any Guarantor, in the care of the Borrower at the address of the Borrower set forth in the Credit Agreement, or such other address or telecopy number as such party may hereafter specify for such purpose by notice to the Agent in accordance with the provisions of such Section 11.2.

Section 10.No Waivers. No failure or delay by the Agent or any Secured Parties in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies provided in this Guarantee, the Credit Agreement, any agreement in respect of Hedging Obligations and the other Loan Documents shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

Section 11.Successors and Assigns. This Guarantee is for the benefit of the Agent and the Secured Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, provided, that no Guarantor shall have any right to assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the consent of all of the Lenders, and any such assignment in violation of this Section 11 shall be null and void; and in the event of an assignment of any amounts payable under the Credit Agreement, any agreement in respect of Hedging Obligations or the other Loan Documents in accordance with the respective terms thereof, the rights hereunder, to the extent applicable to the indebtedness so assigned, may be transferred with such indebtedness. This Guarantee shall be binding upon each of the Guarantors and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 12.Changes in Writing. Other than in connection with the addition of additional Subsidiaries, which become parties hereto by executing a Supplement hereto in the form attached as Annex I, neither this Guarantee nor any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only in writing signed by each of the Guarantors and the Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders under the Credit Agreement (or all of the Lenders if required pursuant to the terms of Section 11.1 of the Credit Agreement).

Section 13. CHOICE OF LAW. THIS GUARANTEE AND THE LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN THOSE CONTAINING A CONTRARY EXPRESS CHOICE OF LAW PROVISION) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS (INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK BUT

- 8 -

OTHERWISE WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PROVISIONS) OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, BUT GIVING EFFECT TO FEDERAL LAWS APPLICABLE TO NATIONAL BANKS. IF ANY COURT, TRIBUNAL OR OTHER ENTITY WITH JURISDICTION OVER THIS GUARANTEE, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND THE TRANSACTIONS EVIDENCED HEREBY AND THEREBY REJECTS THE FOREGOING CHOICE OF NEW YORK LAW, THIS GUARANTEE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS (INCLUDING 735 ILCS SECTION 105/5-1 ET SEQ., BUT OTHERWISE WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES) BUT GIVING EFFECT TO FEDERAL LAWS APPLICABLE TO NATIONAL BANKS.

Section 14.CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; JURY TRIAL.

(A)CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY UNITED STATES FEDERAL OR NEW YORK STATE COURT SITTING IN THE STATE, COUNTY AND CITY OF NEW YORK IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN ANY COLLATERAL DOCUMENTS) AND EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN ANY SUCH COURT AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE AS TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT OR THAT SUCH COURT IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

Subject to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, each Grantor will (i) deliver to the Agent (or to the extent such Collateral constitutes ABL Collateral, have delivered or will deliver to the ABL Agent as agent for purposes of perfection in accordance with Section 5.4 of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) immediately upon execution of this Security Agreement the originals of all Chattel Paper constituting Collateral (if any then exist), (ii) hold in trust for the Agent upon receipt and immediately thereafter deliver to the Agent (or to the extent such Collateral constitutes ABL Collateral, have delivered or will deliver to the ABL Agent as agent for purposes of perfection in accordance with Section 5.4 of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) any Chattel Paper constituting Collateral, (iii) upon the designation of any Pledged Deposits (as set forth in the definition thereof), deliver to the Agent (or to the extent such Collateral constitutes ABL Collateral, have delivered or will deliver to the ABL Agent as agent for purposes of perfection in accordance with Section 5.4 of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement) such Pledged Deposits which are evidenced by certificates included in the Collateral endorsed in blank, marked with such legends and assigned as the Agent shall specify, and (iv) upon the Agent's request, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, deliver to the Agent (and thereafter hold in trust for the Agent upon receipt and immediately deliver to the Agent) any Document evidencing or constituting Collateral.

4.6. Deposit Accounts. Each Grantor will, upon the Agent's request, cause each bank or other financial institution in which it maintains (a) a Deposit Account into which any proceeds of Collateral are deposited (any such account, a “Collection Account”) (other than a Deposit Account maintained for collections from retail sales) to enter into a control agreement with the Agent, in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent in order to give the Agent Control of such Deposit Account or (b) other deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) that constitute or contain Collateral to be notified of the security interest granted to the Agent hereunder and cause each such bank or other financial institution to acknowledge such notification in writing. In the case of deposits maintained with Lenders, the terms of such letter shall be subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement and ABL Intercreditor Agreement regarding setoffs. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, prior to the Discharge of ABL Obligations (as defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement), the requirements of this Section 4.6 shall be deemed satisfied so long as the ABL Agent is a party to a control agreement granting “control” (within the meaning of the UCC).

4.7. Federal, State or Municipal Claims. Each Grantor will notify the Agent of any Collateral owned by such Grantor which constitutes a claim against the United States government or any state or local government or any instrumentality or agency thereof, the assignment of which claim is restricted by federal, state or municipal law.

4.8. Trademarks.

4.8.1 Such Grantor shall notify the Agent promptly if it knows or has reason to know that any application or registration relating to any Trademark listed on Exhibit “E” hereof may become abandoned or dedicated, or of any adverse determination or development (including the institution of, or any such determination or development in, any proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark Office or any court) regarding such Grantor's ownership of any Trademark listed on Exhibit “E” hereof, its right to register the same, or to keep and maintain the same, in each case if such event could reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

4.8.2 The Borrower shall notify the Agent within 30 days after each fiscal quarter in which the Borrower or any Grantor acquires any applications for new classes of good/services for the Trademarks listed in part 2 of Exhibit “E” hereof, and upon the request of the Agent, such Grantor shall execute, deliver and file any short form Intellectual Property security agreements to evidence the Agent's security interest on such new Trademarks.

4.8.3 Except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, and except as permitted under the Credit Agreement, such Grantor shall take all actions necessary or requested by the Agent to maintain and prosecute each application, to obtain the relevant registration and to maintain the registration of each of the Trademarks listed on Exhibit “E” hereof, including the filing of applications for renewal, affidavits of use, affidavits of noncontestability and opposition and interference and cancellation proceedings, unless the Grantor shall determine that such Trademark is not material to the conduct of such Grantor's business.

4.8.4 Except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, such Grantor shall, unless it shall reasonably determine that such Trademark listed on Exhibit “E” hereof is in no way material to the conduct of its business or operations, at such Grantor's discretion, promptly sue for infringement, misappropriation or dilution and recover any and all damages for such infringement, misappropriation or dilution or take such all other actions as are reasonably appropriate under the circumstances to protect such listed Trademark.

4.8.5 Nothing in this Agreement prevents any Grantor from disposing of, discontinuing the use or maintenance of, failing to pursue, or otherwise allowing to lapse, terminate or put into the public domain any of the Trademarks listed on Exhibit E hereof to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement or if such Grantor determines in its reasonable business judgment that such actions are desirable in the conduct of its business.

ARTICLE 5

DEFAULT

- 12 -

5.1. The occurrence of any “Default” under, and as defined in, the Credit Agreement shall constitute a Default.

5.2. Acceleration and Remedies. Upon the acceleration of the Secured Obligations under the Credit Agreement pursuant to Section 9.2 thereof, the Secured Obligations shall immediately become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, and the Agent may, with the concurrence or at the direction of the Required Lenders, exercise any or all of the following rights and remedies, subject to the provisions of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement:

5.2.1 Those rights and remedies provided in this Security Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, provided that this Section 5.2.1 shall not be understood to limit any rights or remedies available to the Agent and the Secured Parties prior to a Default.

5.2.2 Those rights and remedies available to a secured party under the New York UCC (whether or not the New York UCC applies to the affected Collateral) or under any other applicable law (including, without limitation, any law governing the exercise of a bank's right of setoff or bankers' lien) when a debtor is in default under a security agreement.

5.2.3 Without notice except as specifically provided in Section 8.1 or elsewhere herein, sell, lease, assign, grant an option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Agent may deem commercially reasonable.

The Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral, and such compliance will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

If, after the Credit Agreement has terminated by its terms and all of the Term Loan Obligations have been paid in full, there remain Hedging Obligations that constitute Secured Obligations outstanding, Lenders party thereto may exercise the remedies provided in this Section 5.2 upon the occurrence of any event which would allow or require the termination or acceleration of any Hedging Obligations pursuant to the terms of the agreement governing any such Hedging Obligation.

5.3. Grantors' Obligations Upon Default. Upon the request of the Agent after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, each Grantor will permit the Agent, by the Agent's representatives and agents, to enter any premises where all or any part of the Collateral, or the books and records relating thereto, or both, are located, to take possession of all or any part of the Collateral and to remove all or any part of the Collateral.

5.4. License. Subject to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, the Agent is hereby granted an irrevocable, non-exclusive license, following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, without charge, to use those Trademarks listed on Exhibit “E” hereof solely for the purpose of completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral. In addition, each Grantor hereby irrevocably agrees that the Agent may, following the occurrence

- 13 -

and during the continuance of a Default, but subject to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, sell any of such Grantor's Inventory directly to any person, including, without limitation, persons who have previously purchased such Grantor's Inventory from such Grantor and in connection with any such sale or other enforcement of the Agent's rights under this Security Agreement, may sell and finish Inventory which bears or is affixed any Trademark listed on Exhibit “E” hereof and any Inventory that is covered by any such Trademark.

ARTICLE 6

WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES

No delay or omission of the Agent or any Secured Party to exercise any right or remedy granted under this Security Agreement shall impair such right or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and any single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy shall not preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. No waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of this Security Agreement whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Agent with the concurrence or at the direction of the Lenders required under Section 11.1 of the Credit Agreement and each Grantor, and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth, provided that the addition of any Subsidiary as a Grantor hereunder by execution of a Security Agreement Supplement in the form of Annex I (with such modifications as shall be acceptable to the Agent) shall not require receipt of any consent from or execution of any documentation by any other Grantor party hereto. All rights and remedies contained in this Security Agreement or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Agent and the Secured Parties until the Secured Obligations have been paid in full.

ARTICLE 7

PROCEEDS; COLLECTION OF RECEIVABLES

7.1. Collection Amount Agreements. Subject to the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, upon request of the Agent, each Grantor shall execute and deliver to the Agent agreements with respect to the Collection Accounts in the form provided by or otherwise acceptable to the Agent, which agreements shall be accompanied by an acknowledgment by the bank where the account is located of the Lien of the Agent granted hereunder and of irrevocable instructions to wire all amounts collected therein to a special collateral account at the Agent.

7.2. Collection of Receivables. Subject to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, the Agent may at any time after the occurrence and during that continuance of a Default, by giving each Grantor written notice, elect to require that the Receivables be paid directly to the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties. In such event, each Grantor shall, and shall permit the Agent to, promptly notify the account debtors or obligors under the Receivables owned by such Grantor of the Agent's interest therein and direct such account debtors or obligors to make payment of all amounts then or thereafter due under such Receivables directly to the Agent. Upon receipt of any such notice from the Agent, each Grantor shall thereafter hold in trust for the Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, all amounts and proceeds received by it with respect to the Receivables and immediately and at all times thereafter deliver to the Agent all such amounts and

- 14 -

proceeds in the same form as so received, whether by cash, check, draft or otherwise, with any necessary endorsements.

ARTICLE 8

GENERAL PROVISIONS

8.1. Notice of Disposition of Collateral; Condition of Collateral. Each Grantor hereby waives notice of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral may be made. To the extent such notice may not be waived under applicable law, any notice made shall be deemed reasonable if sent to the Borrower, addressed as set forth in Article 9, at least ten days prior to (i) the date of any such public sale or (ii) the time after which any such private sale or other disposition may be made. Agent shall have no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale.

8.2. Compromises and Collection of Collateral. Each Grantor and the Agent recognize that setoffs, counterclaims, defenses and other claims may be asserted by obligors with respect to certain of the Receivables, that certain of the Receivables may be or become uncollectible in whole or in part and that the expense and probability of success in litigating a disputed Receivable may exceed the amount that reasonably may be expected to be recovered with respect to a Receivable. In view of the foregoing and subject to the provisions of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, each Grantor agrees that the Agent may at any time and from time to time, if a Default has occurred and is continuing, compromise with the obligor on any Receivable, accept in full payment of any Receivable such amount as the Agent in its sole discretion shall determine or abandon any Receivable, and any such action by the Agent shall be commercially reasonable so long as the Agent acts in good faith based on information known to it at the time it takes any such action.

8.3. Secured Party Performance of Grantor's Obligations. Without having any obligation to do so, the Agent may perform or pay any obligation which any Grantor has agreed to perform or pay in this Security Agreement and such Grantor shall reimburse the Agent for any reasonable amounts paid by the Agent pursuant to this Section 8.3. Each Grantor's obligation to reimburse the Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be a Secured Obligation payable on demand.

8.4. Authorization for Secured Party to Take Certain Action. Subject to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, each Grantor irrevocably authorizes the Agent at any time and from time to time in the sole discretion of the Agent and appoints the Agent as its attorney in fact (i) to indorse and collect any cash proceeds of the Collateral, (ii) to file a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Security Agreement or any financing statements with respect to the Collateral (which financing statements may describe the Collateral in substantially the same manner as described herein) as a financing statement and to file any other financing statement or amendment of a financing statement (which does not add new collateral or add a debtor) in such offices as the Agent in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the Agent's security interest in the Collateral, (iii) to enforce payment of the Accounts and Receivables in the name of the Agent or such Grantor, (iv) to apply the proceeds of any Collateral received by the Agent to the Secured Obligations as provided in the

- 15 -

Credit Agreement and (v) to discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees or Liens on the Collateral (except for such Liens as are specifically permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document), and each Grantor agrees to reimburse the Agent on demand for any reasonable payment made or any reasonable expense incurred by the Agent in connection therewith, provided that this authorization shall not relieve any Grantor of any of its obligations under this Security Agreement or under the Credit Agreement.

8.5. Specific Performance of Certain Covenants. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in Sections 4.4, 5.3, or 8.7 or in Section 7 will cause irreparable injury to the Agent and the Secured Parties, that the Agent and Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breaches and therefore agrees, without limiting the right of the Agent or the Secured Parties to seek and obtain specific performance of other obligations of the Grantors contained in this Security Agreement, that the covenants of the Grantors contained in the Sections referred to in this Section 8.5 shall be specifically enforceable against the Grantors.

8.6. Use and Possession of Certain Premises. Upon the occurrence of a Default and subject to the provisions of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, the Agent and its representatives and agents shall be entitled to enter, occupy and use any premises where all or any part of the Collateral, or the books and records relating thereto, or both, are located, to take possession of all or any part of the Collateral or the books and records relating thereto, or both, to remove all or any part of the Collateral or the books and records relating thereto, or both, and to conduct sales of the Collateral, without any obligation to pay the Grantor for such use and occupancy.

8.7. Benefit of Agreement. The terms and provisions of this Security Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Grantors, the Agent and the Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns (including all persons who become bound as a debtor to this Security Agreement), except that the Grantors shall not have the right to assign their rights or delegate their obligations under this Security Agreement or any interest herein, without the prior written consent of the Agent.

8.8. Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties of the Grantors contained in this Security Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Security Agreement.

8.9. Taxes and Expenses. Any taxes payable or ruled payable by Federal or State authority in respect of this Security Agreement shall be paid by the Grantors, together with interest and penalties, if any. The Grantors shall reimburse the Agent for any and all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and internal charges (including reasonable attorneys', auditors' and accountants' fees and reasonable time charges of attorneys, paralegals, auditors and accountants who may be employees of the Agent) paid or incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, collection and enforcement of this Security Agreement and in the audit, analysis, administration, collection, preservation or sale of the Collateral (including the expenses and charges associated with any periodic or special audit of the Collateral). Any and all costs and expenses incurred by the Grantors in the performance of actions required pursuant to the terms hereof shall be borne solely by the Grantors.

- 16 -

8.10. Headings. The title of and section headings in this Security Agreement are for convenience of reference only, and shall not govern the interpretation of any of the terms and provisions of this Security Agreement.

8.11. Termination. This Security Agreement shall continue in effect (notwithstanding the fact that from time to time there may be no Secured Obligations outstanding) until (i) the Credit Agreement has terminated pursuant to its express terms and (ii) all of the Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full and no commitments of the Agent or the Secured Parties which would give rise to any Secured Obligations are outstanding.

8.12. Entire Agreement. This Security Agreement embodies the entire agreement and understanding between the Grantors and the Agent relating to the Collateral and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the Grantors and the Agent relating to the Collateral.

8.13. CHOICE OF LAW. THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

8.14. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. THE AGENT AND EACH GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY:

8.14.1 SUBMITS FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS TO WHICH IT IS A PARTY, OR FOR RECOGNITION AND ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT IN RESPECT THEREOF, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE GENERAL JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, THE COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK AND APPELLATE COURTS FROM ANY THEREOF;

8.14.2 CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE BROUGHT IN SUCH COURTS AND WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT COURT AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME;

8.14.3 AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE EFFECTED BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL (OR ANY SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR FORM OF MAIL), POSTAGE PREPAID, TO SUCH PERSON AT ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH ON SCHEDULE 11.2 OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT AT SUCH OTHER ADDRESS OF WHICH THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED PURSUANT TO SECTION 11.2 OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT;

- 17 -

8.14.4 AGREES THAT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO EFFECT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY REQUIREMENTS OF LAW OR SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT TO SUE IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION;

8.14.5 WAIVES, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO CLAIM OR RECOVER IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING REFERRED TO IN THIS SECTION 8.14 ANY SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES; AND

8.14.6 AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW.

8.15. Indemnity. Each Grantor hereby agrees, jointly with the other Grantors and severally, to indemnify the Agent and the Secured Parties, and their respective successors, assigns, agents and employees, from and against any and all liabilities, damages, penalties, suits, costs, and expenses of any kind and nature (including, without limitation, all expenses of litigation or preparation therefor whether or not the Agent or any Secured Party is a party thereto) imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent or the Secured Parties, or their respective successors, assigns, agents and employees, in any way relating to or arising out of this Security Agreement, or the manufacture, purchase, acceptance, rejection, ownership, delivery, lease, possession, use, operation, condition, sale, return or other disposition of any Collateral (including, without limitation, latent and other defects, whether or not discoverable by the Agent or the Secured Parties or any Grantor, and any claim for patent, trademark or copyright infringement) except for acts or omissions of the Agent or any Secured Party after such Person has taken possession and control of the Collateral.

8.16. Subordination of Intercompany Indebtedness. Each Grantor agrees that any and all claims of such Grantor against any other Grantor (each an “Obligor”) with respect to any “Intercompany Indebtedness” (as hereinafter defined), any endorser, obligor or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Secured Obligations, or against any of its properties shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment, in full and in cash, of all Secured Obligations. Notwithstanding any right of any Grantor to ask, demand, sue for, take or receive any payment from any Obligor, all rights, liens and security interests of such Grantor, whether now or hereafter arising and howsoever existing, in any assets of any other Obligor shall be and are subordinated to the rights of the Secured Parties and the Agent in those assets. No Grantor shall have any right to possession of any such asset or to foreclose upon any such asset, whether by judicial action or otherwise, unless and until all of the Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations) shall have been fully paid and satisfied (in cash) and all Commitments under the Credit Agreement have terminated or expired. If all or any part of the assets of any Obligor, or the proceeds thereof, are subject to any distribution, division or application to the creditors of such Obligor, whether partial or complete, voluntary or involuntary, and whether by reason of liquidation, bankruptcy, arrangement, receivership, assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other action or proceeding, or if the business of any such Obligor is dissolved or if substantially all of the assets of any such Obligor are sold, then, and in any such event (such

- 18 -

events being herein referred to as an “Insolvency Event”), subject to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, any payment or distribution of any kind or character, either in cash, securities or other property, which shall be payable or deliverable upon or with respect to any indebtedness of any Obligor to any Grantor (“Intercompany Indebtedness”) shall be paid or delivered directly to the Agent for application on any of the Secured Obligations, due or to become due, until such Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations) shall have first been fully paid and satisfied (in cash). Should any payment, distribution, security or instrument or proceeds thereof be received by the applicable Grantor upon or with respect to the Intercompany Indebtedness after any Insolvency Event and prior to the satisfaction of all of the Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations) and the termination or expiration of all Commitments of the Lenders under the Credit Agreement, such Grantor shall receive and hold the same in trust, as trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall, subject to the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, forthwith deliver the same to the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in precisely the form received (except for the endorsement or assignment of the Grantor where necessary), for application to any of the Secured Obligations, due or not due, and, until so delivered, the same shall be held in trust by the Grantor as the property of the Secured Parties. If any such Grantor fails to make any such endorsement or assignment to the Agent, the Agent or any of its officers or employees is irrevocably authorized to make the same. Each Grantor agrees that until the Secured Obligations (other than the contingent indemnity obligations) have been paid in full (in cash) and satisfied and all Commitments under the Credit Agreement have terminated or expired, no Grantor will assign or transfer to any Person (other than the Agent or the Borrower or another Grantor) any claim any such Grantor has or may have against any Obligor.

8.17. Partial Invalidity. If and to the extent that any Grantor's obligations hereunder are terminated or are otherwise deemed to be invalid or unenforceable, such termination, invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the continued effectiveness, validity or enforceability of this Security Agreement with respect to any one or more of the other Grantors.

ARTICLE 9

NOTICES

9.1. Sending Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Security Agreement shall be sent (and deemed received) in the manner and to the addresses set forth in Section 11.2 of the Credit Agreement; and any such notice delivered to the Borrower shall be deemed to have been delivered to all of the Grantors.

9.2. Change in Address for Notices. Each of the Grantors, the Agent and the Lenders may change the address for service of notice upon it by a notice in writing to the other parties.

ARTICLE 10

THE AGENT

JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association has been appointed Agent for the Secured Parties hereunder pursuant to Section 10 of the Credit Agreement. It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties to this Security Agreement that any authority conferred upon the Agent he-

- 19 -

reunder is subject to the terms of the delegation of authority made by the Secured Parties to the Agent pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and that the Agent has agreed to act (and any successor Agent shall act) as such hereunder only on the express conditions contained in such Section 10. Any successor Agent appointed pursuant to Section 10 of the Credit Agreement shall be entitled to all the rights, interests and benefits of the Agent hereunder.

ARTICLE 11

THE ABL INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the lien and security interest in the Collateral granted to the Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of certain rights and remedies by the Agent hereunder with respect to the Collateral are subject to the provisions of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, prior to the Discharge of ABL Obligations (as such term is defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement), the requirements of this Agreement to deliver ABL Collateral and any certificates, instruments or Documents in relation thereto to the Agent shall be deemed satisfied by delivery of such ABL Collateral and such certificates, instruments or documents in relation thereto to the ABL Agent (as bailee for the Agent). Each Grantor shall provide a prompt written notice to the Agent describing all certificates, instruments, documents or other Collateral delivered to the ABL Agent pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

ARTICLE 12

RELEASE OF LIENS

12.1. The Lenders hereby authorize the Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction of all of the Secured Obligations at any time arising under or in respect of this Agreement or the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; (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 Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Agent's authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 12.

12.2. Upon any sale or transfer of assets constituting Collateral which is permitted pursuant to the terms of any Loan Document (other than any such sale to another Grantor), 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 Borrower to the Agent, the 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 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 Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the Agent's opinion, would expose the Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any con-

- 20 -

sequence 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 Borrower or any Guarantor in respect of) all interests retained by the Borrower or any Guarantor, including, without limitation, the proceeds of the sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.

12.3. The Lenders hereby authorize the Agent to release any Lien granted to or held by the Agent in respect of any assets or property constituting ABL Collateral securing ABL Obligations, upon the release of the security interests in such assets or property securing any ABL Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 5.1(a) of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement shall govern with respect to released ABL Collateral prior to the Discharge of ABL Obligations (as defined in the ABL Intercreditor Agreement).

[Name of Entity], a [Type of Entity] (“Grantor”), is the lessee under a lease between Grantor and _________________ (the “Lessor”) covering the premises located at (the “Premises”) as more fully described in the lease attached hereto as Exhibit A and as modified by any amendments, if any, attached thereto (collectively, the “Lease”). The Lessor is the sole owner of the Premises. Grantor has certain of its assets located on the Premises.

Grantor has entered into that certain Security Agreement dated as of January 28, 2013 by and among Tesoro Corporation (the “Company”), certain subsidiaries of the Company and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as Agent (the “Agent”) (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Security Agreement”) to secure the obligations of the Company under that certain Term Loan Credit Agreement dated as of January 28, 2013 by and among the Company, the lending institutions from time to time parties thereto as Lenders (collectively, the “Lenders”) and the Agent (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”). Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein or in the Security Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Credit Agreement.

In order to induce the Agent and the Lenders (together with their respective agents, successors and assigns) to continue such financing arrangements, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned hereby certifies and agrees as follows:

(i) The Lease is in full force and effect, and in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, represents the full and complete agreement between the Grantor and the undersigned concerning the Premises and the Lease shall not be amended or modified in any material respect without the Agent's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(ii) Grantor is not in default under the Lease, nor, to the undersigned's knowledge, are there any events or conditions which, by the passage of time or giving of notice or both, would constitute a default thereunder by Grantor.

___________________________________

⁵ To be modified to be in recordable form in the applicable jurisdiction.

C-1

(iii) The undersigned will not assert against any of Grantor's assets any statutory or possessory liens, including, without limitation, rights of levy or distraint for rent.

(iv) The undersigned is not aware of any dispute, action, suit, condemnation proceeding, claim, or right of setoff pending or threatened with respect to the Lease or the Premises.

(v) None of the Collateral located on the Premises shall be deemed to be fixtures.

(vi) The undersigned will notify the Agent if Grantor defaults on its lease obligations to the undersigned and allow the Agent thirty (30) days from the Agent's receipt of notice in which to cure or cause Grantor to cure any such defaults. If such default cannot reasonably be cured within the thirty (30) day period, and provided the Agent is diligently pursuing a cure, then the Agent shall have a reasonable period to cure such default.

(vii) The undersigned shall accept performance by the Agent of the Grantor's obligations under the Lease as though the same had been performed by the holder of the Grantor's interest therein at the time of such performance. Upon the cure of any such default, any notice of Landlord advising of any default or any action of the undersigned to terminate the Lease or to interfere with the occupancy, use or enjoyment of the Premises by reason thereof, which action has not been completed, shall be deemed rescinded and the Lease shall continue in full force and effect. The undersigned shall not be required to continue any possession or continue any action to obtain possession upon the cure of any such default.

(viii) If, for any reason whatsoever, the undersigned either deems itself entitled to redeem or to take possession of the Premises during the term of Grantor's lease, the undersigned will notify the Agent five (5) days before taking such action.

(ix) If Grantor defaults on its obligations to the Agent or any Lender and, as a result, the Agent undertakes to enforce its security interest in the Collateral, the undersigned will permit the Agent to remain on the Premises for one-hundred and twenty (120) days (provided, that the foregoing period shall be tolled from and during the pendency of any bankruptcy or other insolvency proceedings with respect to the Grantor) after the later to occur of (a) the date on which the Agent gives the undersigned notice of the default and (b) the date on which the Agent is given access to the Premises, provided the Agent pays the rental payments due under the Lease for the period of time the Agent occupies the Premises, or, at the Agent's option, to remove the Collateral from the Premises within a reasonable time, not to exceed one-hundred and twenty (120) days (provided, that the foregoing period shall be tolled from and during the pendency of any bankruptcy or other insolvency proceedings with respect to the Grantor) after the later to occur of (i) the date on which the Agent gives the undersigned notice of the default and (ii) the date on which the Agent is given access to the Premises, provided the Agent pays the rental payments due under the Lease for the period of time the Agent occupies the Premises, and will not hinder the Agent's actions in enforcing its liens on the Collateral.

C-2

(x) In the event that Grantor shall become a debtor under the Federal Bankruptcy Code and, in connection therewith, Grantor shall reject the Lease as an executory contract, then within thirty (30) days following such rejection, upon the written request by the Agent, the undersigned shall enter into a new lease of the Premises with the Agent or its designee (who shall be reasonably acceptable to the undersigned), for the benefit of the Lenders which new lease (1) shall be effective as of the date of the termination of the Lease, (2) shall be for a term expiring as of the last day of the term of the Lease, and (3) shall be on substantially the same terms and conditions as the Lease (including any provisions for renewal or extension of the term of the Lease); provided that the Agent or such designee, as the case may be, shall be required, as a condition to the effectiveness of such new lease, to pay the Lessor any amount equal to any rent remaining unpaid by Grantor under the Lease.

Any notice(s) required or desired to be given hereunder shall be directed to the party to be notified at the address stated herein.

The agreements contained herein shall continue in force until the earlier of (i) the expiration date of the Lease (provided no provision is made for the extension or renewal of the Lease) or (ii) the date on which all of Grantor's obligations and liabilities to the Agent and the Lenders are paid and satisfied in full and all financing arrangements between Agent and the Lenders and Grantor have been terminated.

The Lessor will notify all successor owners, transferees, purchasers and mortgagees of the existence of this waiver. This waiver may not be modified or terminated orally and shall be binding upon the successors, assigns and personal representatives of the Lessor, upon any successor owner or transferee of the Premises, and upon any purchasers, including any mortgagee, from the Lessor.

THE LESSOR AGREES THAT NOTHING CONTAINED IN THIS WAIVER SHALL BE CONSTRUED AS AN ASSUMPTION BY THE AGENT OR ANY LENDERS OF ANY OBLIGATIONS OF GRANTOR CONTAINED IN THE LEASE.

THIS WAIVER SHALL NOT IMPAIR OR OTHERWISE AFFECT GRANTOR'S OBLIGATIONS TO PAY RENT AND ANY OTHER SUMS PAYABLE BY GRANTOR OR TO OTHERWISE PERFORM ITS OBLIGATIONS TO THE LESSOR PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THE LEASE.

FORM OF PLEDGE AGREEMENT

PLEDGE AGREEMENT, dated as of January 28, 2013 (this “Agreement”), among Tesoro Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Pledgor”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as Collateral Agent (in such capacity, together with its successors in such capacity, the “Agent”) under the Credit Agreement (as hereinafter defined) for the benefit of the Secured Parties (as hereinafter defined).

WHEREAS, reference is made to that certain Term Loan Credit Agreement (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), dated as of January 28, 2013, among the Pledgor, the banks, financial institutions and other lending institutions from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent;

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, among other things, the Lenders have agreed to provide Loans to the Pledgor as the Borrower under the Credit Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Pledgor acknowledges that it will derive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the making of the Loans, the Credit Agreement and any other Loan Documents;

(a) Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Credit Agreement and used in this Agreement (including terms used in the preamble and the recitals) shall have the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement.

(b) Terms used herein that are not defined herein or in the Credit Agreement, but that are terms defined in the UCC and not defined in this Agreement or in the Credit Agreement shall have the meanings specified therein (and if defined in more than one article of the UCC, shall have the meaning specified in Article 9 thereof).

(c) The rules of construction and other interpretive provisions specified in Sections 1.2 and 1.5 of the Credit Agreement shall apply to this Agreement, including terms defined in the preamble and recitals to this Agreement.

(d) The following terms shall have the following meanings:

“Agent” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the preamble.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Agreement secures the payment of all amounts that constitute part of the Secured Obligations and would be owed by the Pledgor to the Agent or the other Secured Parties under the Loan Documents but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving the Pledgor.

4.Delivery of the Collateral. All certificates, if any, representing or evidencing the Collateral shall be (with respect to any certificates existing on the date hereof, and with respect to any certificates acquired after the date hereof, promptly, and in any event within 30 days after their acquisition) delivered to and held by or on behalf of the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant hereto and shall be in suitable form for transfer by delivery, or shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. The Agent shall have the right, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default and with notice to the Pledgor, to transfer to or to register in the name of the Agent or any of its nominees any or all of the Pledged Shares. Each delivery of Collateral shall be accompanied by a schedule describing the assets theretofore and then being pledged hereunder, which shall be attached hereto as part of Schedule 1 and made a part hereof; provided that the failure to attach any such schedule hereto shall not affect the validity of such pledge of such securities. Each schedule so delivered shall supplement any prior schedules so delivered.

5.Representations and Warranties. The Pledgor represents and warrants as follows:

(a) Schedule 1 correctly represents as of the Effective Date with respect to each issuer, the certificate number, if any, the number and class and the percentage of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of such class of all Pledged Shares. Except as set forth on Schedule 1, the Pledged Shares represent all of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of each class of Equity Interests in the issuer on the Effective Date.

8.Voting Rights; Dividends and Distributions; Etc.

- 4 -

(b)Subject to paragraph (c) of this Section 8, the Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and retain and use, free and clear of the Lien created by this Agreement, any and all dividends, distributions, principal and interest made or paid in respect of the Collateral to the extent not prohibited by any Loan Document; provided, however, that any and all noncash dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that would constitute Pledged Shares, whether resulting from a subdivision, combination or reclassification of the outstanding Equity Interests of the issuer of any Pledged Shares or received in exchange for Pledged Shares or any part thereof, or in redemption thereof, or as a result of any merger, consolidation, acquisition or other exchange of assets to which such issuer may be a party or otherwise, shall be, and shall be forthwith delivered to the Agent to hold as Collateral and shall, if received by the Pledgor, be received in trust for the benefit of the Agent, be segregated from the other property or funds of the Pledgor and be forthwith delivered to the Agent as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement).

(c)Upon written notice to the Pledgor by the Agent following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default,

(i)all rights of the Pledgor to exercise or refrain from exercising the voting and other consensual rights that it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 8(a)(i) shall cease, and, all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Agent, which shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise or refrain from exercising such voting and other consensual rights during the continuance of such Default; provided that, unless otherwise directed by the Required Lenders, the Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) from time to time following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, to permit the Pledgor to exercise such rights.

(iii)all dividends, distributions and principal and interest payments that are received by the Pledgor contrary to the provisions of Section 8(b) shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Agent, shall be segregated from other property or funds of the Pledgor and shall forthwith be delivered to the Agent as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsements); and

(iv)in order to permit the Agent to receive all dividends, distributions and principal and interest payments to which it may be entitled under Section 8(b), to exercise the voting and other consensual rights that it may be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 8(c)(i), and to receive all dividends, distributions and principal and interest payments that it may be entitled to under Sections 8(c)(ii) and 8(c)(iii), in each case, the Pledgor shall from time to time execute and

- 5 -

deliver to the Agent, appropriate proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as the Agent may reasonably request in writing.

9.Transfers and Other Liens; Additional Collateral; Etc. The Pledgor shall:

(a) not (i) except as permitted by the Credit Agreement (including pursuant to waivers and consents thereunder), sell or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option or warrant with respect to, any of the Collateral or (ii) create or suffer to exist any consensual Lien upon or with respect to any of the Collateral, except for the Lien created by this Agreement; and

(b) defend its and the Agent's title or interest in and to all the Collateral (and in the Proceeds thereof) against any and all Liens (other than non-consensual Liens permitted by Section 8.6 of the Credit Agreement or the Lien created by this Agreement), however arising, and any and all Persons whomsoever.

10.Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. The Pledgor hereby appoints, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest, the Agent as the Pledgor's attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of the Pledgor and in the name of the Pledgor or otherwise, to take any action and to execute any instrument, and after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default and with notice to the Pledgor, that the Agent may deem reasonably necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including to receive, indorse and collect all instruments made payable to the Pledgor representing any dividend, distribution or principal or interest payment in respect of the Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same.

11.The Agent's Duties. The powers conferred on the Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral, as to ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Pledged Shares, whether or not the Agent or any other Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Agent accords its own property.

12.Remedies. If any Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

(a) The Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) or any other applicable Requirement of Law or in equity and also may with notice to the Pledgor, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange broker's board or at any of the Agent's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, at such price or prices and upon such other terms as are commercially reasonable irrespective of the impact of any such sales on the market price of the Collateral. The Agent shall be authorized at any such sale (if it deems it advisable to do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers of Collateral to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof, and, upon consummation of any such sale, the Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold.

- 6 -

Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of the Pledgor, and the Pledgor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal that it now has or may at any time in the future have under any Requirement of Law now existing or hereafter enacted. The Agent or any Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale, to purchase all or any part of the Collateral so sold, and the Agent or such Secured Party may pay the purchase price by crediting the amount thereof against the Secured Obligations. The Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten days' notice to the Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. To the extent permitted by law, the Pledgor hereby waives any claim against the Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree.

(b) The Agent shall apply the Proceeds of any collection or sale of the Collateral in the manner specified in Section 9 of the Credit Agreement. Upon any sale of the Collateral by the Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.

(d) All payments received by the Pledgor in respect of the Collateral after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Agent, shall be segregated from other property or funds of the Pledgor and shall be forthwith delivered to the Agent as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement).

13.Amendments, etc. with Respect to the Secured Obligations; Waiver of Rights. Except for the termination of the Pledgor's Secured Obligations hereunder as provided in Section 14, the Pledgor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against the Pledgor and without notice to or further assent by the Pledgor, (a) any demand for payment of any of the Secured Obligations made by the Agent or any other Secured Party may be rescinded by such party and any of the Secured Obligations continued, (b) the Secured Obligations, or the liability of any other party upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Agent or any other Secured Party, (c) the Loan Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, in accordance with the terms of the applicable Loan Document, and (d) any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Agent or any other Secured Party for the payment of the Secured Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Neither the Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation

14.Continuing Security Interest; Assignments Under the Credit Agreement; Release.

(a)This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon the Pledgor and the successors and assigns thereof, and shall inure to the benefit of the Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns until the Termination Date, notwithstanding that from time to time prior to the Termination Date, the Pledgor may be free from any Secured Obligations.

(b)In the event the Pledgor sells or otherwise disposes of assets as permitted by the Credit Agreement (including pursuant to waivers and consents thereunder), and such assets are or include any of the Collateral, (A) in the event of any such sale or disposition to a Person that is not a Loan Party, the Agent shall release such Collateral to the Pledgor free and clear of the Lien created by this Agreement concurrently with the consummation of such sale or disposition in accordance with the Security Agreement and Section 14 and (B) in the event of any such sale or disposition to a Loan Party, the Pledgor shall cause such Loan Party to enter into a pledge agreement substantially in the form of this Agreement (with such changes as may be applicable to the Agent) at the time of the acquisition thereof.

(c)In connection with any termination or release pursuant to the foregoing paragraph (a) or (b), the Agent shall execute and deliver to the Pledgor or authorize the filing of, at the Pledgor's expense, all documents that the Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 14 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Agent.

15.Reinstatement. The Pledgor further agrees that, if any payment made by any Loan Party or other Person and applied to the Secured Obligations is at any time annulled, avoided, set aside, rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or otherwise required to be refunded or repaid, or the Proceeds of Collateral are required to be returned by any Secured Party to such Loan Party, its estate, trustee, receiver or any other party, including the Pledgor, under any bankruptcy law, state, federal or foreign law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, any Lien or other Collateral securing such liability shall be and remain in full force and effect, as fully as if such payment had never been made or, if prior thereto the Lien granted hereby or other Collateral securing such liability hereunder shall have been released or terminated by virtue of such cancellation or surrender), such Lien or other Collateral shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior cancellation or surrender shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect any Lien or other Collateral securing the obligations of the Pledgor in respect of the amount of such payment.

16.Notices. All notices, requests and demands pursuant hereto shall be made in accordance with Section 11.2 of the Credit Agreement.

17.Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile or other electronic transmission (i.e. a “pdf” or a “tif” file)), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of copies of this Agreement signed by all of the parties shall be lodged with the Agent and the Pledgor.

18.Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such

- 8 -

prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

19.Integration. This Agreement together with the other Loan Documents represents the agreement of the Pledgor with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Agent or any other Secured Party relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

20.Amendments in Writing; No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.

(a)None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by the Pledgor and the Agent in accordance with Section 11.1 of the Credit Agreement; provided, however, that this Agreement may be supplemented (but no existing provisions may be modified and no Collateral may be released) through agreements substantially in the form of Annex A, in each case duly executed by the Pledgor.

(b)Neither the Agent nor any Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 20(a)), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Unmatured Default or in any breach of any of the terms and conditions hereof or of any other applicable Loan Document. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Agent or any other Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Agent or any other Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy that the Agent or such other Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion.

(c)The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by Requirement of Law.

21.Section Headings. The Section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

22.Successors and Assigns.

FORM OF SOLVENCY CERTIFICATE

Date: [ ], 2013


To:	The Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders

party to the Credit Agreement referred to below


Re:	Term Loan Credit Agreement, dated as of January 28, 2013 (the “Credit Agreement”), by and among Tesoro Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”), and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I, the undersigned, the [Vice President and Treasurer] of the Borrower, in that capacity only and not in my individual capacity (and without personal liability), do hereby certify as of the date hereof, and based upon facts and circumstances as they exist as of the date hereof (and disclaiming any responsibility for changes in such fact and circumstances after the date hereof), that:


1.	This certificate is furnished to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Section 5B of the Credit Agreement. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this certificate shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.


2.	For purposes of this certificate, the terms below shall have the following definitions:


a.	“Fair Value”

The amount at which the assets (both tangible and intangible), in their entirety, of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, within a commercially reasonable period of time, each having reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts, with neither being under any compulsion to act.


b.	“Present Fair Salable Value”

The amount that could be obtained by an independent willing seller from an independent willing buyer if the assets (both tangible and intangible) of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole are sold on a going concern basis with reasonable promptness in an arm's-length transaction under present conditions for the sale of comparable business enterprises insofar as such conditions can be reasonably evaluated.


c.	“Stated Liabilities”

The recorded liabilities (including contingent liabilities that would be recorded in accordance with GAAP) of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole, as of the date hereof after giving effect to the consummation of the BP Acquisition, the related transactions thereto (including the execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement) and the making of the Loans and the use of proceeds of such Loans on the date hereof, determined in accordance with GAAP consistently applied.

I-1


d.	“Identified Contingent Liabilities”

The maximum estimated amount of liabilities reasonably likely to result from pending litigation, asserted claims and assessments, guaranties, uninsured risks and other contingent liabilities of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole after giving effect to the BP Acquisition, the related transactions thereto (including the execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement) and the making of the Loans and the use of proceeds of such Loans on the date hereof (including all fees and expenses related thereto but exclusive of such contingent liabilities to the extent reflected in Stated Liabilities), as identified and explained in terms of their nature and estimated magnitude by responsible officers of the Borrower.


e.	“Will be able to pay their Stated Liabilities and Identified Contingent Liabilities as they mature”

For the period from the date hereof through the Maturity Date, the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole will have sufficient assets and cash flow to pay their respective Stated Liabilities and Identified Contingent Liabilities as those liabilities mature or (in the case of Identified Contingent Liabilities) otherwise become payable, in light of business conducted or anticipated to be conducted by the Loan Parties as reflected in the projected financial statements and in light of the anticipated credit capacity.


f.	“Do not have Unreasonably Small Capital”

For the period from the date hereof through the Maturity Date, the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole after consummation of the BP Acquisition, the related transactions thereto (including the execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement) and the making of the Loans and the use of proceeds of such Loans on the date hereof is a going concern and has sufficient capital to reasonably ensure that it will continue to be a going concern for such period. I understand that “Unreasonably Small Capital” depends upon the nature of the particular business or businesses conducted or to be conducted, and I have reached my conclusion based on the needs and anticipated needs for capital of the business conducted or anticipated to be conducted by the Loan Parties as reflected in the projected financial statements and in light of the anticipated credit capacity.


3.	For purposes of this certificate, I, or officers of the Borrower under my direction and supervision, have performed the following procedures as of and for the periods set forth below.


a.	I have reviewed the financial statements referred to in Section 6.4 of the Credit Agreement.


b.	I have knowledge of and have reviewed to my satisfaction the Credit Agreement.


c.	As the [Vice President and Treasurer] of the Borrower, I am familiar with the financial condition of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries.

Based on and subject to the foregoing, I hereby certify on behalf of the Borrower that after giving effect to the consummation of the BP Acquisition, the related transactions thereto (including the execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement) and the making of the Loans and the use of proceeds of such Loans on the date hereof, it is my opinion that (i) the Fair Value of the assets of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole exceed their Stated Liabilities and Identified Contingent Liabilities, (ii) the Present Fair Salable Value of the assets of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole exceed their Stated Liabilities and Identified Contingent Liabilities; (iii) the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole do not have Unreasonably Small Capital; and (iv)

the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole will be able to pay their Stated Liabilities and Identified Contingent Liabilities as they mature.

Except as expressly set forth in Section 5.5 hereof, neither the ABL Collateral Agent nor any ABL Secured Party shall be responsible for perfecting and maintaining the perfection of Liens with respect to the Common Collateral for the benefit of the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any other Term Loan Secured Parties.

The lien priorities provided in Section 2.1 shall not be altered or otherwise affected by any such amendment, modification, supplement, extension, repayment, reborrowing, increase, replacement, renewal, restatement or Refinancing of either the ABL Obligations or the Term Loan Obligations, or any portion thereof.

SECTION 3. Enforcement.

3.1. Exercise of Remedies.

(a) So long as the Discharge of ABL Obligations has not occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against the Company or any other Grantor, (i) the Term Loan Collateral Agent and each Term Loan Secured Party (x) from the date hereof until the occurrence of the Term Loan Enforcement Date will not exercise or seek to exercise any rights or remedies (including, but not limited to, setoff, recoupment, and the right to credit bid debt, if any) with respect to any Common Collateral in respect of any applicable Term Loan Obligations, or institute any action or proceeding with respect to such rights or remedies (including any action of foreclosure), (y) will not contest, protest or otherwise object to any foreclosure or enforcement proceeding or action brought with respect to the Common Collateral by the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party in respect of the ABL Obligations, the exercise of any right by the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party (or any agent or sub-agent on their behalf) in respect of the Common Collateral under any control agreement, lockbox agreement, landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or similar agreement or arrangement to which the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party either is a party or may have rights as a third party beneficiary, or any other exercise by any such party, of any rights and remedies as a secured party relating to the Common Collateral under the ABL Documents or otherwise in respect of the ABL Obligations, and (z) will not object to any waiver or forbearance by the ABL Secured Parties from or in respect of bringing or pursuing any foreclosure proceeding or action or any other exercise of any rights or remedies relating to the Common Collateral in respect of ABL Obligations and (ii) except as otherwise provided herein, the ABL Collateral Agent and the ABL Secured Parties shall have the sole and exclusive right to enforce rights, exercise remedies (including, but not limited to, setoff, recoupment, and any right to credit bid their debt), marshal, process and make determinations regarding the release, disposition or restrictions, or waiver or forbearance of rights or remedies with respect to the Common Collateral without any consultation with or the consent of the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party; provided, however, that (A) in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding commenced by or against the Company or any other Grantor, the Term Loan Collateral Agent may file a proof of claim or statement of interest with respect to the Term Loan Obligations, (B) the Term Loan Collateral Agent may take any action (not adverse to the prior Liens on the Common Collateral securing the ABL Obligations, or the rights of the ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Secured Parties to exercise remedies in respect thereof), including sending such notices of the existence of, or any evidence or confirmation of, the Term Loan Obligations or the Liens of Term Loan Collateral Agent in the Common Collateral to any court or governmental agency, or file or record any such notice or evidence, in order to prove, preserve, or protect (but not enforce) its rights in, including the perfection and priority of any Lien on, the Common Collateral, (C) the Term Loan Secured Parties shall be entitled to file any necessary or appropriate

-8-

responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims or Liens of the Term Loan Secured Parties, including without limitation any claims secured by the Common Collateral, if any, in each case if not otherwise in contravention of the terms of this Agreement, (D) the Term Loan Secured Parties shall be entitled to file any pleadings, objections, motions or agreements which assert rights or interests available to unsecured creditors of the Grantors arising under either the applicable Bankruptcy Law or applicable non-bankruptcy law, in each case if not otherwise in contravention of the terms of this Agreement, or as may otherwise be consented to by the ABL Collateral Agent, (E) the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party shall be entitled to vote on any Plan of Reorganization, in a manner and to the extent consistent with the provisions hereof, and (F) the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party may exercise any of its rights or remedies with respect to (1) the Common Collateral upon the occurrence and during the effective continuation of the Term Loan Enforcement Date and (2) with respect to the Non-Common Collateral, at any time, including, without limitation, objecting to any action by the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party with respect to the Non-Common Collateral. In exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Common Collateral, the ABL Collateral Agent and the ABL Secured Parties may enforce the provisions of the ABL Documents and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in the exercise of their sole discretion. Such exercise and enforcement shall include the rights of an agent appointed by them to sell or otherwise dispose of Common Collateral upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with such sale or disposition, and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured lender under the Uniform Commercial Code of any applicable jurisdiction and of a secured creditor under Bankruptcy Laws of any applicable jurisdiction.

(b) So long as the Discharge of ABL Obligations has not occurred, the Term Loan Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and each applicable Term Loan Secured Party, agrees that it will not, in the context of its role as secured lender or otherwise as a Term Loan Secured Party, take or receive any Common Collateral or any proceeds of Common Collateral in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy or otherwise in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (including, but not limited to, setoff, recoupment, or the right to credit bid debt) with respect to any Common Collateral in respect of the applicable Term Loan Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless and until the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, except as expressly provided in the proviso in Section 3.1(a), the sole right of the Term Loan Collateral Agent and the Term Loan Secured Parties with respect to the Common Collateral is to hold a Lien on the Common Collateral in respect of the applicable Term Loan Obligations pursuant to the Term Loan Documents, as applicable, for the period and to the extent granted therein and to receive a share of the proceeds thereof, if any, after the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred.

(c) Subject to the proviso in Section 3.1(a), (i) the Term Loan Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each Term Loan Secured Party, agrees that none of the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party will take any action that would hinder, delay or impede any exercise of remedies undertaken by the ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Secured Parties with respect to the Common Collateral, including any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of the Common Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise, and (ii) the Term Loan Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each Term Loan Secured Party,

-9-

hereby waives any and all rights it or any Term Loan Secured Party may have as a junior lien creditor, including, but not limited to, any rights to “adequate protection,” as such term is defined in Section 3(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to object to the manner or order in which the ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Secured Parties seek to enforce or collect the ABL Obligations or the Liens granted in any of the Common Collateral, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of the ABL Collateral Agent or ABL Secured Parties is adverse to the interests of the Term Loan Secured Parties.

(d) The Term Loan Collateral Agent and each Term Loan Secured Party hereby acknowledge and agree that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in any applicable Term Loan Document shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Secured Parties with respect to the Common Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the ABL Documents.

(e) So long as the Discharge of ABL Obligations has not occurred, the Term Loan Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the applicable Term Loan Secured Parties, agrees not to assert and hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to demand, request, plead or otherwise assert or otherwise claim the benefit of, any marshalling, appraisal, valuation or other similar right that may otherwise be available under any applicable law, including, but not limited to, the Bankruptcy Code or other Bankruptcy Law, with respect to the Common Collateral or any other similar rights a junior secured creditor may have under such applicable law.

3.2. Cooperation. Subject to the proviso in Section 3.1(a), the Term Loan Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and each applicable Term Loan Secured Party, agrees that, unless and until the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, it will not commence, or join with any Person (other than the ABL Secured Parties and the ABL Collateral Agent upon the request thereof) in commencing, any enforcement, collection, execution, levy or foreclosure action or proceeding with respect to any Lien held by it in the Common Collateral.

3.3. Actions Upon Breach. If any Term Loan Secured Party, in contravention of the terms of this Agreement, in any way takes, attempts to take, or threatens to take any action with respect to the Common Collateral (including, without limitation, any attempt to realize upon or enforce any remedy with respect to this Agreement) or fail to take any action required by this Agreement, this Agreement shall create a conclusive presumption and admission by such Term Loan Secured Party that relief against such Term Loan Secured Party sought by the ABL Secured Parties, whether by injunction, specific performance, and/or any other equitable or other relief, is necessary to prevent irreparable harm to the ABL Secured Parties, it being understood and agreed by each Term Loan Collateral Agent on behalf of each applicable Term Loan Secured Party that (i) the ABL Secured Parties’ damages from its actions may at that time be difficult to ascertain and may be irreparable and (ii) each Term Loan Secured Party waives any defense that the Grantors and/or the ABL Secured Parties cannot demonstrate damage and/or can be made whole by the awarding of damages.

Upon the Discharge of ABL Obligations, subject to Section 5.6 hereof, the ABL Collateral Agent shall deliver promptly to the Term Loan Collateral Agent any Common Collateral or proceeds thereof held by it in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

The ABL Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to make any such endorsements as agent for the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any such Term Loan Secured Party. Such authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

4.3. Access to Information. The Term Loan Collateral Agent and each Grantor hereby grants (to the full extent of their respective rights and interests) the ABL Collateral Agent and its agents, representatives and designees (a) a royalty free, rent free non-exclusive license and lease to use all of the Non-Common Collateral constituting trademarks, to complete the sale of inventory and (b) a royalty free non-exclusive license (which will be binding on any successor or assignee of the trademarks) to use any and all such trademarks, in each case, at any time in connection with any enforcement of the ABL Collateral Agent’s liens on the Common Collateral; provided, however, the royalty free, rent free non-exclusive license and lease granted in clause (a) shall immediately expire upon the sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of all such Common Collateral.

SECTION 5. Other Agreements.

5.1. Releases.

(a) If, at any time any Grantor or any ABL Secured Party delivers notice to the Term Loan Collateral Agent with respect to any specified Common Collateral (including for such purpose, in the case of the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the equity interests in any Subsidiary, any Common Collateral held by such Subsidiary or any direct or indirect Subsidiary thereof) that:

-11-

(B) the First Priority Liens thereon have been or are being released in connection with a Subsidiary that is released from its guarantee under the ABL Credit Agreement; or

(C) the First Priority Liens thereon have been or are being otherwise released as permitted by the ABL Credit Agreement or by the ABL Collateral Agent on behalf of the ABL Secured Parties (including in connection with a foreclosure of, or any other exercise of remedies with respect to, Common Collateral by the ABL Secured),

then the Second Liens upon such Common Collateral will automatically be released and discharged as and when, but only to the extent, such Liens on such Common Collateral securing ABL Obligations are released and discharged (provided that the Liens on any Common Collateral disposed of in connection with the satisfaction in whole or in part of ABL Obligations shall be automatically released but any proceeds thereof not used for purposes of the Discharge of ABL Obligations or otherwise in accordance with the Term Loan Credit Agreement shall be subject to Second Liens and shall be applied pursuant to Section 4.1). Upon delivery to the Term Loan Collateral Agent of a notice from the ABL Collateral Agent stating that any such release of Liens securing or supporting the ABL Obligations has become effective (or shall become effective upon the Term Loan Collateral Agent’s release), the Term Loan Collateral Agent will promptly, at the Company’s expense, execute and deliver such instruments, releases, termination statements or other documents confirming such release on customary terms, which instruments, releases and termination statements shall be substantially identical to the comparable instruments, releases and termination statements executed by the ABL Collateral Agent in connection with such release.

(b) The Term Loan Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each Term Loan Secured Party, hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the ABL Collateral Agent and any officer or agent of the ABL Collateral Agent, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of the Term Loan Collateral Agent or such holder or in the ABL Collateral Agent’s own name, from time to time in the ABL Collateral Agent’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Section 5.1, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments that may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 5.1, including any termination statements, endorsements or other instruments of transfer or release. This authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until such time as this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms.

(c) Unless and until the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, the Term Loan Collateral Agent for itself and on behalf of each Term Loan Secured Party, hereby consents to the application, whether prior to or after a default, of proceeds of Common Collateral to the payment of ABL Obligations pursuant to the ABL Documents.

-12-

5.2. Insurance. Unless and until the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, the ABL Collateral Agent and the ABL Secured Parties shall have the sole and exclusive right, to the extent permitted by the ABL Documents and subject to the rights of the Grantors thereunder, to adjust settlement for any insurance policy covering the Common Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding affecting the Common Collateral. Unless and until the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, all proceeds of any such policy and any such award if in respect of the Common Collateral shall be paid (a) first, until to the occurrence of the Discharge of ABL Obligations, to the ABL Collateral Agent for the benefit of ABL Secured Parties pursuant to the terms of the ABL Documents, (b) second, after the occurrence of the Discharge of ABL Obligations, to the Term Loan Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Term Loan Secured Parties pursuant to the terms of the applicable Term Loan Documents and (c) third, if no Term Loan Obligations are outstanding, to the owner of the subject property, such other person as may be entitled thereto or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. If the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party shall, at any time, receive any proceeds of any such insurance policy or any such award in contravention of this Agreement, such proceeds shall be segregated and held in trust for the benefit of the ABL Collateral Agent for the benefit of the ABL Secured Parties and it shall forthwith pay such proceeds over to the ABL Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of Section 4.2.

5.3. Amendments to Documents. So long as the Discharge of ABL Obligations has not occurred, without the prior written consent of the ABL Collateral Agent, no Term Loan Security Document may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified or entered into to the extent any such amendment, supplement or modification would be prohibited or inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement. The Term Loan Collateral Agent agrees that each Term Loan Security Document shall include the following language (or language to similar effect approved by the ABL Collateral Agent):

“Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the lien and security interest granted to the Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Agent hereunder are subject to the limitations and provisions of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of January 28, 2013 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “ABL Intercreditor Agreement”) among JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as ABL Collateral Agent, JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as Term Loan Collateral Agent, and certain other persons party or that may become party thereto from time to time. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this Agreement governing the exercise of any right or remedy by the Term Loan Collateral Agent, the terms of the ABL Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.”

In addition, the Term Loan Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Term Loan Secured Parties, agrees that each mortgage, if applicable, covering any Common Collateral shall contain such other language as the ABL Collateral Agent may reasonably request to reflect the subordination of such mortgage to the ABL Document covering such Common Collateral.

-13-

5.4. Rights as Unsecured Creditors. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in, or barred by, this Agreement, the Term Loan Collateral Agent and the Term Loan Secured Parties may exercise their rights and remedies, if any, as an unsecured creditor against the Company or any Grantor that has guaranteed the Term Loan Obligations in accordance with the terms of the applicable Term Loan Documents and applicable law. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party of required payments of interest and principal so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party of rights or remedies as a secured creditor in respect of Common Collateral or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Lien on the Common Collateral in respect of Term Loan Obligations held by any of them or in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. In the event the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party becomes a judgment lien creditor or other secured creditor in respect of Common Collateral, as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor in respect of Term Loan Obligations or otherwise, such judgment Lien or any other Lien shall be (i) subordinated to the Liens securing ABL Obligations on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Term Loan Obligations are so subordinated to the First Priority Liens securing ABL Obligations under this Agreement, and (ii) otherwise subject to the terms of this Agreement for all purposes to the same extent as all other Liens on Common Collateral securing the Term Loan Obligations are subject to this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement impairs, shall be construed to impair, or otherwise adversely affects any rights or remedies the ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Secured Parties may have with respect to the Common Collateral.

5.5. ABL Collateral Agent as Gratuitous Bailee for Perfection.

(a) The ABL Collateral Agent agrees to hold the Control Collateral in its possession or control (within the meaning of the UCC) (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) for the benefit and on behalf of the Term Loan Collateral Agent for the benefit of each Term Loan Secured Party and any assignee thereof solely for the purpose of perfecting by possession or control the security interest granted in such Control Collateral pursuant to the Term Loan Security Documents, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.5.

(b) In furtherance of this Section 5.5, with respect to each deposit account or securities account that is subject to control agreement in favor of the ABL Collateral Agent (including any such agreement existing on the date hereof), the ABL Collateral Agent agrees to act as agent of the Term Loan Collateral Agent and Term Loan Secured Parties under each such agreement for the purposes of perfecting the Term Loan Collateral Agent’s security interests in such accounts by “control” (within the meaning of Section 9-314 of the UCC). In addition, with respect to each landlord waiver of liens and access agreement (including any such agreement existing on the date hereof), the ABL Collateral Agent agrees to act as agent of the Term Loan Collateral Agent and Term Loan Secured Parties under each such agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Term Loan Collateral Agent on behalf of the Term Loan Secured Parties hereby appoints the ABL Collateral Agent as such Term Loan Collateral Agent’s collateral agent under any control agreement and landlord waiver of liens and access agreement that the ABL Collateral Agent is a party to at any time with respect to control agreements solely for the purpose of perfecting the lien and security interest on the deposit accounts and securities accounts subject thereto, and the ABL Collateral Agent accepts such appointment. Each Grantor hereby grants to

(c) The ABL Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Term Loan Secured Party to assure that the Control Collateral is genuine or owned by the Grantors, that its lien is valid or perfected or to protect or preserve rights or benefits of any Person or any rights pertaining to the Common Collateral except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.5(c). The duties or responsibilities of the ABL Collateral Agent under this Section 5.5(c) shall be limited solely to holding the Control Collateral as agent and/or gratuitous bailee for the benefit and on behalf of the Term Loan Collateral Agent and each Term Loan Secured Party for purposes of perfecting the Liens held by the Term Loan Secured Parties.

(d) The ABL Collateral Agent shall not have by reason of the Term Loan Documents or this Agreement or any other document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Term Loan Collateral Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party, and each of the Term Loan Collateral Agent and the Term Loan Secured Parties hereby waive and release the ABL Collateral Agent from all claims and liabilities arising pursuant to the ABL Collateral Agent’s role under this Section 5.5(d), as agent and gratuitous bailee with respect to the Common Collateral.

(e) Upon the Discharge of ABL Obligations, the ABL Collateral Agent shall upon Company’s request (x) deliver to the Term Loan Collateral Agent written notice of the occurrence thereof (which notice may state that such Discharge of ABL Obligations is subject to the provisions of this Agreement, including without limitation Sections 5.6 and 6.3 hereof) it being understood that until the delivery of such notice to the Term Loan Collateral Agent, the Term Loan Collateral Agent shall not be charged with knowledge of the Discharge of ABL Obligations or required to take any actions based on such Discharge of ABL Obligations, (y) deliver to the Term Loan Collateral Agent, to the extent that it is legally permitted to do so, the remaining Control Collateral (if any) together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the Term Loan Collateral Agent to obtain control of such Control Collateral) or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct and (z) cooperate with the Grantors and the Term Loan Collateral Agent in order to assign any control agreements to the Term Loan Collateral Agent. The ABL Collateral Agent has no obligation to follow instructions from the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party in contravention of this Agreement.

5.6. No Release in Event of Reinstatement. If at any time in connection with or after the Discharge of ABL Obligations the Company either in connection therewith or

-15-

thereafter enters into any Refinancing of any ABL Document evidencing an ABL Obligation, then such Discharge of ABL Obligations shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement, the ABL Documents and the Term Loan Documents, and the obligations under such Refinancing shall automatically be treated as ABL Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement (a “Reinstatement”), including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Common Collateral set forth herein, and the related documents shall be treated as ABL Documents for all purposes of this Agreement and the ABL Collateral Agent under such Refinanced ABL Documents shall be the ABL Collateral Agent for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon receipt of a notice from the Company stating that the Company has entered into a new ABL Document (which notice shall include the identity of the new collateral agent, such agent, the “New Agent”), the Term Loan Collateral Agent shall promptly (at the expense of the Company) (a) enter into such documents and agreements (including amendments or supplements to this Agreement) as the Company or such New Agent shall reasonably request in order to confirm to the New Agent the rights contemplated hereby, in each case consistent in all material respects with the terms of this Agreement and (b) deliver to the New Agent the Control Collateral together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the New Agent to obtain possession or control of such Control Collateral). The Term Loan Collateral Agent shall not be charged with knowledge of such Reinstatement until it receives written notice from the ABL Collateral Agent, New Agent or the Company of the occurrence of such Reinstatement.

5.7. Additional Debt. The Company and the other applicable Grantors will be permitted to designate as an additional holder of Term Loan Obligations hereunder each Person who is, or who becomes or who is to become, the registered holder of any Additional Debt incurred by the Company or such Grantor after the date of this Agreement in accordance with the terms of all applicable ABL Documents and Term Loan Documents. Upon the issuance or incurrence of any such Additional Debt:

(a) The Company shall deliver to the Term Loan Collateral Agent and the ABL Collateral Agent an Officers’ Certificate stating that the Company or such Grantor intends to enter into an Additional Debt Instrument and certifying that the issuance or incurrence of Additional Debt under such Additional Debt Instrument is permitted by each applicable ABL Documents and Term Loan Documents;

(b) the administrative agent or trustee and collateral agent for such Additional Debt shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agents a joinder agreement to this Agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the ABL Collateral Agent and Term Loan Collateral Agent;

(c) the ABL Collateral Agent and the Term Collateral Agent shall promptly enter into such documents and agreements (including amendments or supplements to this ABL Intercreditor Agreement) as the Company or the administrative agent or trustee and collateral agent for such Additional Debt may reasonably request in order to provide to them the rights, remedies and powers and authorities contemplated hereby, in each consistent in all respects with the terms of this ABL Intercreditor Agreement.

-16-

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will be construed to allow the Company or any other Grantor to incur additional indebtedness unless otherwise permitted by the terms of each applicable ABL Document and Term Loan Document.

SECTION 6. Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings.

6.1. DIP Financing.

(a) If the Company or any Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding at any time prior to the Discharge of ABL Obligations, and the ABL Collateral Agent or the ABL Secured Parties shall seek to provide the Company or any Grantor with, or consent to a third party providing, any financing under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or consent to any order for the use of cash collateral constituting Common Collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (each, a “DIP Financing”), with such DIP Financing to be secured by all or any portion of the Common Collateral (including assets that, but for the application of Section 552 of the Bankruptcy Code would be Common Collateral) but not any other asset or any Non-Common Collateral, then the Term Loan Collateral Agent agrees that it will raise no objection and will not support any objection to such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral or to the Liens securing the same on the grounds of a failure to provide “adequate protection” for the Liens of the Term Loan Collateral Agent securing the Term Loan Obligations or on any other grounds (and will not request any adequate protection solely as a result of such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral that is Common Collateral, except as permitted by Section 6.3(b)), so long as (i) the Term Loan Collateral Agent retains its Lien on the Common Collateral to secure the Term Loan Obligations (in each case, including Proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of the case under the Bankruptcy Code), (ii) the terms of the DIP Financing do not compel the applicable Grantor to seek confirmation of a specific plan of reorganization for which all or substantially all of the material terms of such plan are set forth in the DIP Financing documentation or related document; and (iii) all Liens on Common Collateral securing any such DIP Financing shall be senior to or on a parity with the Liens of the ABL Collateral Agent and the ABL Secured Parties securing the ABL Obligations on Common Collateral; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict the Term Loan Collateral Agent or Term Loan Secured Party from raising any objection or supporting any objection to (i) such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral or to the Liens securing the same on the grounds of a failure to provide “adequate protection” for the Liens of the Term Loan Collateral Agent on Non-Common Collateral securing the Term Loan Obligations or (ii) any financing under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code that would be secured by the Non-Common Collateral or any order for the use of cash collateral constituting Non-Common Collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code.

(b) All Liens granted to the ABL Collateral Agent or the Term Loan Collateral Agent in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, whether as adequate protection or otherwise, are intended by the Parties to be and shall be deemed to be subject to the lien priority and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement.

6.2. Relief from Stay. The Term Loan Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Term Loan Secured Parties, agrees not to seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any

-17-

Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of any portion of the Common Collateral without the ABL Collateral Agent’s express written consent.

6.3. No Contest; Adequate Protection.

(a) The Term Loan Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Term Loan Secured Parties, agrees that it shall not contest (or support any other Person contesting) (x) any request by the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party for adequate protection of its interest in the Common Collateral, (y) any objection by the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party to any motion, relief, action, or proceeding based on a claim by the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party that its interests in the Common Collateral are not adequately protected (or any other similar request under any law applicable to an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding), so long as any Liens granted to the ABL Collateral Agent as adequate protection of its interests are subject to this Agreement or (z) any lawful exercise by the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party of the right to credit bid ABL Obligations at any sale of Common Collateral or Common Collateral; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict the Term Loan Collateral Agent or Term Loan Secured Party from contesting or challenging (or support any other Person contesting or challenging) any request by the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party for “adequate protection” (or the grant of any such “adequate protection”) to the extent such “adequate protection” is in the form of a Lien on any Non-Common Collateral.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions in this Section 6.3, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, if the ABL Secured Parties (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection with respect to Common Collateral in the form of additional or replacement collateral (even if such collateral is not of a type which would otherwise have constituted Common Collateral) or a superpriority administrative claim, then the ABL Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties, agrees that the Term Loan Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and/or any of the Term Loan Secured Parties, may seek or request (and the ABL Secured Parties will not oppose such request) adequate protection with respect to its interests in such Common Collateral in the form of a Lien on the same additional or replacement collateral and/or a superpriority administrative claim, which Lien and/or superpriority administrative claim will be subordinated to the Liens securing, and/or superpriority administrative claims granted with respect to, the ABL Obligations, on the same basis as the other Liens of, and claims with respect to, such Term Loan Collateral Agent on the Common Collateral (it being understood that to the extent that any such additional or replacement collateral constituted Non-Common Collateral at the time it was granted to the ABL Secured Parties, the Lien thereon in favor of the ABL Secured Parties shall be subordinate in all respects to the Liens thereon in favor of the Term Loan Secured Parties).

(c) To the extent that the order of the Bankruptcy Court approving the DIP Financing or use of cash collateral provides that the ABL Secured Parties are entitled to receive adequate protection in the form of payments in the amount of current post-petition interest, incurred fees and expenses or other cash payments, or otherwise with the consent of the ABL Collateral Agent, then the Term Loan Collateral Agent and the Term Loan Secured Parties shall not be prohibited from seeking and obtaining adequate protection with respect to their interests in the Common Collateral in the form of such payments in the amount of current post-petition interest,

-18-

incurred fees and expenses of other cash payments in the applicable Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.

(d) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict the Term Loan Collateral Agent or Term Loan Secured Party from seeking or obtaining “adequate protection” (or the grant of any such “adequate protection”) to the extent such “adequate protection” is with respect to its interests in the Non-Common Collateral.

6.4. Asset Sales. The Term Loan Collateral Agent agrees, on behalf of itself and the Term Loan Secured Parties, that it will not oppose any sale consented to by the ABL Collateral Agent of any Common Collateral pursuant to Section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision under the law applicable to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding) so long as the proceeds of such sale are applied in accordance with this Agreement; provided, however, that the Term Loan Secured Parties may assert any objection to any sale of any Common Collateral that could be asserted by an unsecured creditor (without limiting the foregoing, neither the Term Loan Collateral Agent nor any other Term Loan Secured Party may raise any objections based on rights afforded by Sections 363(e) and (f) of the Bankruptcy Code to secured creditors (or any comparable provisions of any other Bankruptcy Law) with respect to the Liens granted to such person in respect of such assets); and provided further, however, that the Term Loan Secured Parties are not deemed to have waived any rights to credit bid on the Common Collateral in any such sale or disposition in accordance with Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code, so long as any such credit bid provides for the immediate payment in full in cash or other Discharge of ABL Obligations. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict the Term Loan Collateral Agent or Term Loan Secured Party from opposing any sale or other disposition of the Non-Common Collateral without its express written consent.

6.5. Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification. Term Loan Collateral Agent, each Term Loan Secured Party, each ABL Secured Party and the ABL Collateral Agent each acknowledge and agree that (i) the grants of Liens pursuant to the ABL Security Documents on the one hand and the Term Loan Security Documents on the other hand constitute separate and distinct grants of Liens and the Term Loan Secured Parties’ claims against the Company and/or any Grantor in respect of Common Collateral constitute junior secured claims separate and apart (and of a different class) from the senior secured claims of the ABL Secured Parties against the Company and the Grantors in respect of Common Collateral and (ii) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Common Collateral, the Term Loan Obligations are fundamentally different from the ABL Obligations and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the claims of the ABL Secured Parties and any Term Loan Secured Parties in respect of the Common Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then the ABL Secured Parties and the Term Loan Secured Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that all distributions from the Common Collateral shall be made as if there were separate classes of ABL Obligation claims and Term Loan Obligation claims against the Grantors (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Common Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Term Loan Secured Parties), the ABL Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts dis-

-19-

tributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest at the relevant contract rate, before any distribution is made in respect of the claims held by the Term Loan Secured Parties from such Common Collateral, with the Term Loan Secured Parties hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the ABL Secured Parties amounts otherwise received or receivable by them from the Common Collateral to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the aggregate recoveries. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall in any way compel the Term Loan Collateral Agent or Term Loan Secured Party to turn over any distribution they may receive from the Non-Common Collateral.

6.6. Enforceability. The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be and shall be enforceable under Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.

6.7. ABL Obligations Unconditional.All rights, interests, agreements and obligations of the ABL Collateral Agent and the ABL Secured Parties, and the Term Loan Collateral Agent and the Term Loan Secured Parties, respectively, hereunder shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any ABL Documents or any Term Loan Documents or any setting aside or avoidance of any Lien;

(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other terms of, all or any of the ABL Obligations or Term Loan Obligations, or any amendment or waiver or other modification, including any increase in the amount thereof, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, of the terms of the ABL Credit Agreement or any other ABL Document or of the terms of the Term Loan Credit Agreement or any other Term Loan Document;

(c) any exchange of any security interest in any Common Collateral or any other collateral, or any amendment, waiver or other modification, whether in writing or by course of conduct or otherwise, of all or any of the ABL Obligations or Term Loan Obligations or any guarantee thereof;

(d) the commencement of any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the Company or any other Grantor; or

(e) any other circumstances that otherwise might constitute a defense (other than a defense that such obligations have in-fact been repaid) available to, or a discharge of, the Company or any other Grantor in respect of ABL Obligations or Term Loan Obligations in respect of this Agreement.

6.9. Post-Petition Interest.

(a) Neither the Term Loan Collateral Agent nor any Term Loan Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the ABL Collateral Agent or any ABL Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of ABL Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees, or expenses, without regard to or otherwise taking into account the existence of the Lien of the Term Loan Collateral Agent on behalf of the Term Loan Secured Parties on the Common Collateral.

-20-

(b) Neither the ABL Collateral Agent nor any other ABL Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Term Loan Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees, or expenses to the extent of the value of the Lien in favor of the Term Loan Secured Parties on the Common Collateral (after taking into account the Lien in favor of the ABL Secured Parties thereon).

(c) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict the Term Loan Collateral Agent or Term Loan Secured Party from seeking the allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Term Loan Obligations consisting of post-petition interest, fees, or expenses to the extent of the value of the Lien in favor of the Term Loan Secured Parties on the Non-Common Collateral, without regard to or otherwise taking into account the existence of any Lien of any other party, if any, on the Non-Common Collateral.

The ABL Secured Parties will be entitled to manage and supervise their respective loans and extensions of credit under the ABL Documents in accordance with law and as they, in their sole discretion, may otherwise deem appropriate, and the ABL Secured Parties may manage their loans and extensions of credit without regard to any rights or interests that the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any of the Term Loan Secured Parties have in the Common Collateral or otherwise, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Neither the ABL Collateral Agent nor any ABL Secured Parties shall have any duty to the Term Loan Collateral Agent or any Term Loan Secured Party to act or refrain from acting in a manner that allows, or results in, the occurrence or continuance of a Default under any agreements with the Company or any Grantor (including the Term Loan Documents), regardless of any knowledge thereof that they may have or be charged with. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the ABL Collateral Agent, the ABL Secured Parties, the Term Loan Collateral Agent and the Term Loan Secured Parties have

ARTICLE II

Priorities and Agreements with Respect to Shared Collateral

SECTION 2.01 Priority of Claims.

(a) Anything contained herein or in any of the Secured Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding (but subject to Section 1.03), if a Default has occurred and is continuing, and the Applicable Collateral Agent or any Secured Party is taking action to enforce rights in respect of any Shared Collateral, or any distribution is made in respect of any Shared Collateral in any Bankruptcy Case of the Borrower or any other Grantor or any Secured Party receives any payment pursuant to any intercreditor agreement (other than this Agreement) with respect to any Shared Collateral, the proceeds of any sale, collection or other liquidation of any such Shared Collateral by any Secured Party or received by the Applicable Collateral Agent or any Secured Party pursuant to any such intercreditor agreement with respect to such Shared Collateral and proceeds of any such distribution (subject, in the case of any such distribution, to the sentence immediately following) to which the Obligations are entitled under any

L-7

intercreditor agreement (other than this Agreement) (all proceeds of any sale, collection or other liquidation of any Collateral and all proceeds of any such distribution being collectively referred to as “Proceeds”), shall be applied (i) FIRST, to the payment of all amounts owing to each Collateral Agent (in its capacity as such) pursuant to the terms of any Secured Credit Document, (ii) SECOND, subject to Section 1.03, to the payment in full of the Obligations of each Series on a ratable basis, with such Proceeds to be applied to the Obligations of a given Series in accordance with the terms of the applicable Secured Credit Documents and (iii) THIRD, after payment of all Obligations, to the Borrower and the other Grantors or their successors or assigns, as their interests may appear, or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. If, despite the provisions of this Section 2.01(a), any Secured Party shall receive any payment or other recovery in excess of its portion of payments on account of the Obligations to which it is then entitled in accordance with this Section 2.01(a), such Secured Party shall hold such payment or recovery in trust for the benefit of all Secured Parties for distribution in accordance with this Section 2.01(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Shared Collateral for which a third party (other than a Secured Party) has a lien or security interest that is junior in priority to the security interest of any Series of Obligations but senior (as determined by appropriate legal proceedings in the case of any dispute) to the security interest of any other Series of Obligations (such third party, an “Intervening Creditor”), the value of any Shared Collateral or Proceeds allocated to such Intervening Creditor shall be deducted on a ratable basis solely from the Shared Collateral or Proceeds to be distributed in respect of the Series of Obligations with respect to which such Impairment exists.

(b) It is acknowledged that the Obligations of any Series may, subject to the limitations set forth in the then extant Secured Credit Documents, be increased, extended, renewed, replaced, restated, supplemented, restructured, repaid, refunded, Refinanced or otherwise amended or modified from time to time, all without affecting the priorities set forth in Section 2.01(a) or the provisions of this Agreement defining the relative rights of the Secured Parties of any Series.

(c) Notwithstanding the date, time, method, manner or order of grant, attachment or perfection of any Liens securing any Series of Obligations granted on the Shared Collateral and notwithstanding any provision of the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction, or any other applicable law or the Secured Credit Documents or any defect or deficiencies in the Liens securing the Obligations of any Series or any other circumstance whatsoever (but, in each case, subject to Section 1.03), each Secured Party hereby agrees that the Liens securing each Series of Obligations on any Shared Collateral shall be of equal priority.

SECTION 2.02 Actions with Respect to Shared Collateral; Prohibition on Contesting Liens.

(a) Only the Applicable Collateral Agent shall act or refrain from acting with respect to any Shared Collateral (including with respect to any intercreditor agreement with respect to any Shared Collateral). At any time when the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent is the Applicable Collateral Agent, no Additional Secured Party shall or shall instruct any Collateral Agent to, and neither the Additional Collateral Agent nor any other Collateral Agent that is not the Applicable Collateral Agent shall, commence any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure proceedings with respect to, seek to have a trustee, receiver, liquidator or similar official appointed for or over, attempt any action to take possession of, exercise any right, remedy or power with respect to, or otherwise take any action to enforce its security interest in or realize upon, or take any other action available to it in respect of, any Shared Collateral (including with respect to any intercreditor agreement with respect to any Shared Collateral), whether under any Additional Security Document, applicable law or otherwise, it being agreed that only the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent, acting in accordance with the Credit Agreement Collateral Documents, shall

L-8

be entitled to take any such actions or exercise any such remedies with respect to Shared Collateral at such time.

(b) With respect to any Shared Collateral at any time when the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent is not the Applicable Collateral Agent with respect thereto, (i) the Applicable Collateral Agent shall act only on the instructions of the Applicable Authorized Representative, (ii) the Applicable Collateral Agent shall not follow any instructions with respect to such Shared Collateral (including with respect to any intercreditor agreement with respect to any Shared Collateral) from any Non-Controlling Authorized Representative (or any other Secured Party other than the Applicable Authorized Representative) and (iii) no Non-Controlling Authorized Representative or other Secured Party (other than the Applicable Authorized Representative) shall or shall instruct the Applicable Collateral Agent to, commence any judicial or non-judicial foreclosure proceedings with respect to, seek to have a trustee, receiver, liquidator or similar official appointed for or over, attempt any action to take possession of, exercise any right, remedy or power with respect to, or otherwise take any action to enforce its security interest in or realize upon, or take any other action available to it in respect of, any Shared Collateral (including with respect to any intercreditor agreement with respect to any Shared Collateral), whether under any Security Document, applicable law or otherwise, it being agreed that only the Applicable Collateral Agent, acting on the instructions of the Applicable Authorized Representative and in accordance with the Additional Security Documents, shall be entitled to take any such actions or exercise any such remedies with respect to such Shared Collateral.

(c) Notwithstanding the equal priority of the Liens securing each Series of Obligations with respect to any Shared Collateral, the Applicable Collateral Agent with respect thereto (acting on the instructions of the Applicable Authorized Representative if it is not the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent) may deal with such Shared Collateral as if such Applicable Collateral Agent had a senior Lien on such Collateral. No Non-Controlling Authorized Representative or Non-Controlling Secured Party in respect of any Shared Collateral will contest, protest or object to any foreclosure proceeding or action brought by the Applicable Collateral Agent, the Applicable Authorized Representative or any Controlling Secured Party or any other exercise by the Applicable Collateral Agent, the Applicable Authorized Representative or a Controlling Secured Party of any rights and remedies relating to such Shared Collateral, or to cause the Applicable Collateral Agent to do so. The foregoing shall not be construed to limit the rights and priorities of any Secured Party, Collateral Agent or any Authorized Representative with respect to any Collateral not constituting Shared Collateral.

L-10

(b) If the Borrower and/or any other Grantor shall become subject to a case (a “Bankruptcy Case”) under the Bankruptcy Law and shall, as debtor(s)‑in‑possession, move for approval of financing (the “DIP Financing”) to be provided by one or more lenders (the “DIP Lenders”) under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any equivalent provision of any other Bankruptcy Law or the use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any equivalent provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, each Secured Party (other than any Controlling Secured Party or the Authorized Representative of any Controlling Secured Party) agrees that it will raise no objection to any such financing or to the Liens on the Shared Collateral securing the same (“DIP Financing Liens”) or to any use of cash collateral that constitutes Shared Collateral, unless the Applicable Collateral Agent (in the case of any Collateral Agent other than the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent, acting on the instructions of the Applicable Authorized Representative) shall then oppose or object to such DIP Financing or such DIP Financing Liens or use of cash collateral (and (i) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens are senior to the Liens on any such Shared Collateral for the benefit of the Controlling Secured Parties, each Non-Controlling Secured Party will subordinate its Liens with respect to such Shared Collateral on the same terms as the Liens of the Controlling Secured Parties (other than any Liens of any Secured Parties constituting DIP Financing Liens) are subordinated thereto, and (ii) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens rank pari passu with the Liens on any such Shared Collateral granted to secure the Obligations of the Controlling Secured Parties, each Non-Controlling Secured Party will confirm the priorities with respect to such Shared Collateral as set forth herein), in each case so long as (A) the Secured Parties of each Series retain the benefit of their Liens on all such Shared Collateral pledged to the DIP Lenders, including proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of such proceeding, with the same priority vis-à-vis all the other Secured Parties (other than any Liens of the Secured Parties constituting DIP Financing Liens) as existed prior to the commencement of the Bankruptcy Case, (B) the Secured Parties of each Series are granted Liens on any additional collateral pledged to any Secured Parties as adequate protection or otherwise in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral (in each case, except to the extent a Lien on additional collateral is granted to one Series in consideration of Collateral of such Series that is not Shared Collateral for a Series that does not receive a Lien on such additional collateral), with the same priority vis-à-vis the Secured Parties as set forth in this Agreement, (C) if any amount of such DIP Financing or cash collateral is applied to repay any of the Obligations, such amount is applied pursuant to Section 2.01 (in each case, except to the extent a payment is made to one Series in consideration of Collateral of such Series that is not Shared Collateral for a Series that does not receive such payment), and (D) if any Secured Parties are granted adequate protection, including in the form of periodic payments, in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, the proceeds of such adequate protection are applied pursuant to Section 2.01 (in each case, except to the extent such adequate protection is granted to one Series in consideration of Collateral of such Series that is not Shared Collateral for a Series that does not receive such adequate protection); provided that the Secured Parties of each Series shall have a right to object to the grant of a Lien to secure the DIP Financing over any Collateral subject to Liens in favor of the Secured Parties of such Series or its Authorized Representative that shall not constitute Shared Collateral; and provided, further, that the Secured Parties receiving adequate protection shall not object to any other Secured Party receiving adequate protection comparable to any adequate protection granted to such Secured Parties (other than as a provider of DIP Financing) in connection with a DIP Financing or use of cash collateral.

SECTION 2.06 Reinstatement. In the event that any of the Obligations shall be paid in full and such payment or any part thereof shall subsequently, for whatever reason (including an order or judgment for disgorgement of a preference under the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar law, or the settlement of any claim in respect thereof), be required to be returned or repaid, the terms and conditions of this Article II shall be fully applicable thereto until all such Obligations shall again have been paid in full in cash.

The Obligations of any Series may be Refinanced, in whole or in part, in each case, without notice to, or the consent (except to the extent a consent is otherwise required to permit the Refinancing transaction under any Secured Credit Document) of any Secured Party of any other Series, all without affecting the priorities provided for herein or the other provisions hereof; provided that the Authorized Representative of the holders of any such Refinancing indebtedness shall have executed a Joinder Agreement on behalf of the holders of such Refinancing indebtedness.

SECTION 2.09 Possessory Collateral Agent as Gratuitous Bailee for Perfection.

(a) Possessory Collateral shall be delivered to the Applicable Collateral Agent therefor and each Applicable Collateral Agent agrees to hold all Possessory Collateral that is in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) as gratuitous bailee for the benefit of each other Secured Party for which such Possessory Collateral is Shared Collateral and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Possessory Collateral, if any, pursuant to the applicable Security Documents, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.09; provided that at any time a Applicable Collateral Agent ceases to be Applicable Collateral Agent with respect to any Possessory Collateral, such former Applicable Collateral Agent shall, at the request of the new Applicable Collateral Agent, promptly deliver all such Possessory Collateral to such new Applicable Collateral Agent together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow such new Applicable Collateral Agent to obtain control of such Possessory Collateral). The Borrower shall take such further action as is required to effectuate the transfer contemplated hereby and shall indemnify each Collateral Agent for loss or damage suffered by such Collateral Agent as a result of such transfer except for loss or damage suffered by such Collateral Agent as a result of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(b) The Applicable Collateral Agent agrees to hold any Shared Collateral constituting Possessory Collateral, from time to time in its possession, as gratuitous bailee for the benefit of each other Secured Party and any assignee, solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Possessory Collateral, if any, pursuant to the applicable Security Documents, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.09.

(c) The duties or responsibilities of each Collateral Agent under this Section 2.09 shall be limited solely to holding any Shared Collateral constituting Possessory Collateral as gratuitous bailee for the benefit of each other Secured Party for purposes of perfecting the Lien held by such Secured Parties thereon.

SECTION 2.10 Amendments to Security Documents.

(a) Without the prior written consent of the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent, each Additional Secured Party agrees that no Additional Security Document may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified or entered into to the extent such amendment, supplement or modification, or the terms of any new Additional Security Document would be prohibited by, or would require any Grantor to act or refrain from acting in a manner that would violate, any of the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Without the prior written consent of the Additional Collateral Agent, the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent agrees that no Credit Agreement Collateral Document may be amended,

L-12

supplemented or otherwise modified or entered into to the extent such amendment, supplement or modification, or the terms of any new Credit Agreement Collateral Document would be prohibited by, or would require any Grantor to act or refrain from acting in a manner that would violate, any of the terms of this Agreement.

(c) In making determinations required by this Section 2.10, each Collateral Agent may conclusively rely on a certificate of an Authorized Officer of any Borrower.

ARTICLE III

SECTION 3.01 Determinations with Respect to Amounts of Liens and Obligations. Whenever a Collateral Agent or any Authorized Representative shall be required, in connection with the exercise of its rights or the performance of its obligations hereunder, to determine the existence or amount of any Obligations of any Series, or the Shared Collateral subject to any Lien securing the Obligations of any Series, it may request that such information be furnished to it in writing by each other Authorized Representative or Collateral Agent and shall be entitled to make such determination or not make any determination on the basis of the information so furnished; provided, however, that if an Authorized Representative or a Collateral Agent shall fail or refuse reasonably promptly to provide the requested information, the requesting Collateral Agent or Authorized Representative shall be entitled to make any such determination by such method as it may, in the exercise of its good faith judgment, determine, including by reliance upon a certificate of the Borrower. Each Collateral Agent and each Authorized Representative may rely conclusively, and shall be fully protected in so relying, on any determination made by it in accordance with the provisions of the preceding sentence (or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction) and shall have no liability to any Grantor, any Secured Party or any other person as a result of such determination.

ARTICLE IV

The Applicable Collateral Agent

SECTION 4.01 Authority.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, nothing herein shall be construed to impose any fiduciary or other duty on any Applicable Collateral Agent to any Non-Controlling Secured Party or give any Non-Controlling Secured Party the right to direct any Applicable Collateral Agent, except that each Applicable Collateral Agent shall be obligated to distribute proceeds of any Shared Collateral in accordance with Section 2.01 hereof.

(b) In furtherance of the foregoing, each Non-Controlling Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that the Applicable Collateral Agent shall be entitled, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of or deal with any Shared Collateral as provided herein and in the Security Documents, as applicable, pursuant to which the Applicable Collateral Agent is the collateral agent for such Shared Collateral, without regard to any rights to which the Non-Controlling Secured Parties would otherwise be entitled as a result of the Obligations held by such Non-Controlling Secured Parties. Without limiting the foregoing, each Non-Controlling Secured Party agrees that none of the Applicable Collateral Agent, the Applicable Authorized Representative or any other Secured Party shall have any duty or obligation first to marshal or realize upon any type of Shared Collateral (or any other Collateral securing any of the Obligations), or to sell, dispose of or otherwise liquidate all or any portion of such Shared Collateral (or any other Collateral securing any Obligations), in any manner that would maximize

L-13

the return to the Non-Controlling Secured Parties, notwithstanding that the order and timing of any such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation may affect the amount of proceeds actually received by the Non-Controlling Secured Parties from such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation. Each of the Secured Parties waives any claim it may now or hereafter have against any Collateral Agent or the Authorized Representative of any other Series of Obligations or any other Secured Party of any other Series arising out of (i) any actions in accordance with this Agreement which any Collateral Agent, Authorized Representative or the Secured Parties take or omit to take (including, actions with respect to the creation, perfection or continuation of Liens on any Collateral, actions with respect to the foreclosure upon, sale, release or depreciation of, or failure to realize upon, any of the Collateral and actions with respect to the collection of any claim for all or any part of the Obligations from any account debtor, guarantor or any other party) in accordance with the Security Documents or any other agreement related thereto or to the collection of the Obligations or the valuation, use, protection or release of any security for the Obligations, (ii) any election in accordance with this Agreement by any Applicable Authorized Representative or any holders of Obligations, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or (iii) subject to Section 2.05, any borrowing by, or grant of a security interest or administrative expense priority under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any equivalent provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, by the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries, as debtor-in-possession. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Applicable Collateral Agent shall not accept any Shared Collateral in full or partial satisfaction of any Obligations pursuant to Section 9-620 of the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction, without the consent of each Authorized Representative representing holders of Obligations for whom such Collateral constitutes Shared Collateral.
