“ABR” shall mean for any day a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 1/2 of 1%, (b) the rate of interest in effect for such day as announced from time to time by the Administrative Agent as its “prime rate” at its principal office in New York City and (c) the LIBOR Rate for an interest period of one (1) month plus 1%. The “prime rate” is a rate set by the Administrative Agent based upon various factors including the Administrative Agent’s costs and desired return, general economic conditions and other factors, and is used as a reference point for pricing some loans, which may be priced at, above, or below such announced rate. Any change in the ABR due to a change in such rate announced by the Administrative Agent or in the Federal Funds Effective Rate shall take effect at the opening of business on the day specified in the announcement of such change.

“ABR Loan” shall mean each Loan bearing interest based on the ABR.

instrument, (b) commercial tort claims, (c) deposit accounts, (d) investment property, (e) letter-of-credit rights or letters of credit, or (f) rights to payment for money or funds advanced other than rights arising out of the use of a credit or charge card or information contained on or for use with the card.

“Account Debtor” shall mean a Person who is obligated under an Account, Chattel Paper (as defined in the UCC) or General Intangible (as defined in the UCC).

For purposes of calculating the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, consolidations and disposed operations (as determined in accordance with GAAP) that have been made by any Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary during the Test Period or subsequent to such Test Period and on or prior to or simultaneously with the date of determination shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, consolidations and disposed operations (and the change in any associated fixed charge obligations and the change in Consolidated EBITDA resulting therefrom) had occurred on the first day of the Test Period.

Interest on a Capitalized Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Lead Borrower to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of making the computation referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Lead Borrower may designate.

“Fixed Charges” shall mean, with respect to any Person for any period, the sum of:

(a) Consolidated Interest Expense of such Person for such period,

Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of any such Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent its portion of the Borrowing or Borrowings to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing, and the Administrative Agent, in reliance upon such assumption, may (in its sole discretion and without any obligation to do so) make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. 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 Borrowers, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount from such Lender.

(i) on any date for determining the LIBOR Rate for any Interest Period that (x) deposits in the principal amounts and currencies of the Loans comprising such LIBOR Borrowing are not generally available in the relevant market or (y) by reason of any changes arising on or after the Closing 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) at any time, that such Lender or Issuing Bank shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any LIBOR Loans or Letter of Credit (including the issuance or maintenance thereof or participating therein or an agreement to issue or maintain a Letter of Credit or participate therein) (other than any increase or reduction attributable to Taxes, described in paragraph (d) of this Section 2.10) because of (x) any Change in Law, such as, for example, without limitation, a change in official reserve requirements, and/or (y) other circumstances affecting the interbank LIBOR market or the position of such Lender in such market; or

(iii) at any time, that the making or continuance of any LIBOR Loan has become unlawful by compliance by such Lender in good faith with any law, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or would conflict with any such governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful), or has become impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the Closing Date that materially and adversely affects the interbank LIBOR market;

then, and in any such event, the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i) above or Issuing Bank in the case of clause (ii) above, as applicable) shall within a reasonable time thereafter give notice (if by telephone, confirmed in writing) to the Borrowers 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 Borrowers 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 given by the Borrowers with respect to LIBOR Loans that have not yet been incurred shall be deemed rescinded by the Borrowers, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Borrowers shall pay to such Lenders or Issuing Bank, promptly after receipt of written demand therefor such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lenders or Issuing Bank in its reasonable discretion shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lenders or Issuing Bank for such increased costs or reductions in amounts receivable hereunder (it being agreed that a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to any such Lender or Issuing Bank, showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to the Borrowers by such Lender or Issuing Bank shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) and (z) in the case of clause (iii) above, the Borrowers shall take one of the actions specified in subclause (x) or (y), as applicable, of Section 2.10(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law.

(b) At any time that any LIBOR Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), the Borrowers may (and in the case of a LIBOR Loan affected pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(iii) shall) either (x) 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 Borrowers were notified by the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii) or (y) 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 Closing Date, any Change in Law relating to capital adequacy or liquidity requirements of any Lender or Issuing Bank or compliance by any Lender (or Issuing Bank) or its parent with any Change in Law relating to capital adequacy or liquidity requirements occurring after the Closing Date, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s (or Issuing Bank’s) or its parent’s or its Affiliate’s capital or assets as a consequence of such Lender’s (or Issuing Bank’s) commitments or obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender (or Issuing Bank) or its parent or its Affiliate could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s (or Issuing Bank’s) or its parent’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity requirements), then from time to time, promptly after demand by such Lender or Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender (or Issuing Bank) or its parent for such reduction, it being understood and agreed, provided, however, that subject to the second sentence in the definition of “Change in Law”, a Lender and Issuing Bank shall not be entitled to such compensation as a result of such Lender’s or Issuing Banks’ compliance with, or pursuant to any request or directive to comply with, any law, rule or regulation as in effect on the Closing Date. Each Lender and Issuing Bank, 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 Borrowers, 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 Borrowers’ obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.10(c) upon receipt of such notice.

(d) It is understood that this Section 2.10 shall not apply to (i) Taxes indemnifiable under Section 5.4 or (ii) Excluded Taxes.

SECTION 2.11 Compensation. If (a) any payment of principal of any LIBOR Loan is made by the Borrowers 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 Section 2.5, 2.6, 2.10, 5.1, 5.2 or 13.7, as a result of acceleration of the maturity of the Loans pursuant to Article 11 or for any other reason, (b) any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans is not made as a result of a withdrawn Notice of Borrowing, (c) any ABR Loan is not converted into a LIBOR Loan as a result of a withdrawn Notice of Conversion or Continuation, (d) any LIBOR Loan is not continued as a LIBOR Loan, as the case may be, as a result of a withdrawn 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 5.1 or 5.2, the Borrowers shall, after 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 for the account 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.

SECTION 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(b) or 5.4 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrowers 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 Borrowers or the right of any Lender provided in Section 2.10 or 5.4.

SECTION 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 5.4 is given by any Lender more than 120 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 5.4, as the case may be, for any such amounts incurred or accruing prior to the 121st day prior to the giving of such notice to the Borrowers.

SECTION 2.14 Incremental Facilities.

(a) The Borrowers may by written notice to Administrative Agent elect to increase the Total Commitment (each such increase, a “Commitment Increase”, and each Person issuing, or Lender increasing, its Commitment, an “Additional Commitment Lender”) such that the Total Commitment does not exceed $325,000,000. Each such increase shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $5,000,000 individually (or such lesser amount as may be approved by the Administrative Agent). Each such notice shall specify the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which the Borrowers propose that the Commitment Increase shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than ten Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent. The Borrowers may approach any Lender or any Person (other than a natural person, Holdings, the Lead Borrower and any Subsidiary)(it being understood if such Person is an Affiliated Lender, such Person is subject to the requirements of Section 13.6(h) as if such Commitment Increase were an assignment described therein) to provide all or a portion of the Commitment Increase; provided that any Lender offered or approached to provide all or a portion of the Commitment Increase may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a Commitment Increase. In each case, such Commitment Increase shall become effective as of the applicable Increased Amount Date; provided that (i) no Default or Event of Default shall exist on such Increased Amount Date before or after giving effect to such Commitment Increase, (ii) all representations and warranties made by any Credit Party contained herein or in the other Credit Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects with the same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on and as of the date of such Credit Event (except where such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date), (iii) the Commitment Increase shall be effected pursuant to one or more Joinder Agreements executed and delivered by the Borrowers, the Additional Commitment Lenders and Administrative Agent, and each of which shall be recorded in the Register and shall be subject to the requirements set forth in Section 5.4(e), (iv) the Borrowers shall make any payments required pursuant to Section 2.11 in connection with the Commitment Increase, as applicable, and (v) the Borrowers shall deliver or cause to be delivered any legal opinions or other documents reasonably requested by Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction.

(b) In connection with Commitment Increases hereunder, the Lenders and the Borrowers agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) the Borrowers shall, in coordination with the Administrative Agent, (A) repay outstanding Revolving Loans of certain

Lenders, and obtain Revolving Loans from certain other Lenders (including the Lenders providing the applicable Commitment Increase), or (B) take such other actions as reasonably may be required by the Administrative Agent, in each case to the extent necessary so that all of the Lenders effectively participate in each of the outstanding Revolving Loans pro rata on the basis of their Pro Rata Shares, as applicable (determined after giving effect to any increase in the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.14), and (ii) the Borrowers shall pay to the Lenders any costs of the type referred to in Section 2.11 in connection with any repayment and/or Revolving Loans required pursuant to preceding clause (i). Without limiting the obligations of the Borrowers provided for in this Section 2.14, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree that they will use their commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the costs of the type referred to in Section 2.11 which the Borrowers would otherwise incur in connection with the implementation of an increase in the Commitments.

(c) Each Joinder Agreement may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such technical amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provision of this Section 2.14.

(d) (i) The Borrowers may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Commitments existing at the time of such request (each, an “Existing Commitment”) (and Loans related thereto (“Existing Loans”)) of any Class (an “Existing Class”) be converted to extend the scheduled 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 converted, “Extended Loans” and any such Commitments so converted, “Extended Commitments”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.14(d) and Section 13.1. In order to establish any Extended Loans, the Borrowers shall provide a notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders of the applicable Existing Class) (an “Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Loans to be established, which shall be identical to the Loans of the Existing Class from which they are to be converted except (x) the scheduled final maturity date shall be extended and (y) (A) the interest margins with respect to the Extended Loans may be higher or lower than the interest margins for the Loans of such Existing Class and/or (B) additional fees may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Loans in addition to or in lieu of any increased margins contemplated by the preceding clause (A), in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment; provided that each optional prepayment of Extended Loans accompanied by a corresponding permanent reduction in Extended Commitments shall be made in compliance with Section 5.1(b). No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Loans of any Existing Class converted into Extended Loans pursuant to any Extension Request. Any Extended Loans of any Extension Series shall constitute a separate Class of Loans from the Existing Class from which they were converted.

(ii) The Borrowers shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which Lenders under the applicable Existing Class or Existing Classes are requested to respond. Any Lender (an “Extending Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Loans of the Existing Class or Existing Classes subject to such Extension Request converted into Extended 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 of the Existing Class or Existing Classes subject to such Extension Request that it has elected to convert into Extended Loans; provided that if any Lenders of an Existing Class fail to respond, such Lenders will be deemed to have declined to extend their Loans. In the event that the aggregate amount of Loans of the Existing Class or Existing Classes subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of Extended Loans requested pursuant to the Extension Request, Loans of the Existing Class or Existing Classes subject to Extension Elections shall be converted to Extended Loans on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Loans included in each such Extension Election.

(iii) Extended Loans shall be established pursuant to an amendment (an “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement (which, except to the extent expressly contemplated by the penultimate sentence of this Section 2.14(d)(iii) and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 13.1, shall not require the consent of any Lender other than the Extending Lenders with respect to the Extended Loans established thereby) executed by the Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Extending Lenders. No Extension Amendment shall provide for any tranche of Extended Commitments in an aggregate principal amount that is less than $75,000,000. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.14(d) and without limiting the generality or applicability of Section 13.1 to any Section 2.14 Additional Amendments (as defined below), any Extension Amendment may provide for additional terms and/or additional amendments other than those referred to or contemplated above (any such additional amendment, a “Section 2.14 Additional Amendment”) to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents; provided that such Section 2.14 Additional Amendments are within the requirements of Section 2.14(d)(i) and do not become effective prior to the time that such Section 2.14 Additional Amendments have been consented to (including, without limitation, pursuant to consents applicable to holders of any Extended Loans provided for in any Extension Amendment) by such of the Lenders, Credit Parties and other parties (if any) as may be required in order for such Section 2.14 Additional Amendments to become effective in accordance with Section 13.1.

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

SECTION 2.15 Letters of Credit.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions herein set forth, at any time and from time to time after the date hereof and prior to the Termination Date, the Lead Borrower on behalf of the Borrowers, may request an Issuing Bank to issue, and subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, such Issuing Bank shall issue, for the account of the relevant Borrower (or any Subsidiary of a Borrower so long as a Borrower is a joint and several co-applicant), one or more Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars; provided, however, that no Letter of Credit shall be issued if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the aggregate Letter of Credit Outstandings shall exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit, or (ii) the aggregate Credit Extensions (including Swingline Loans) would exceed the Line Cap; provided further that no Letter of Credit shall be issued unless an Issuing Bank shall have received notice from the Administrative Agent that the conditions to such issuance have been met (such notice shall be deemed given if the Issuing Bank has not received notice that the conditions have not been met, within two (2) Business Days of the initial request to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.15(h)); and provided further that an Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue any such Letter of Credit in its reasonable discretion if: (A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any applicable law relating to the Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that the Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank any

unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it, (B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally, or (C) any Lender is at such time a Defaulting Lender hereunder, unless the Issuing Bank has entered into satisfactory arrangements with the Borrowers or such Lender to eliminate the Issuing Bank’s risk of full reimbursement with respect to such Letter of Credit. A request of a Borrower (or a Borrower’s Subsidiary) that an Issuing Bank issue any Letter of Credit shall be deemed a representation that the applicable conditions for issuing such Letter of Credit under Article 7 are satisfied. If the conditions for borrowing under Article 7 cannot in fact be fulfilled, the Required Lenders may direct such Issuing Bank to, and such Issuing Bank thereupon shall, cease issuing Letters of Credit until such conditions can be satisfied or are waived in accordance with Section 13.1. A permanent reduction of the Commitments shall not require a corresponding pro rata reduction in the Letter of Credit Sublimit; provided, however, that if the Total Commitment is reduced to an amount less than the Letter of Credit Sublimit, then the Letter of Credit Sublimit shall be reduced to an amount equal to (or, at Lead Borrower’s option, less than) the Total Commitment; provided further, that if at any time the Letter of Credit Outstandings exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit, the Borrowers shall, on the Business Day that the Lead Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this clause (a), deposit in the Cash Collateral Account an amount in cash equal to such excess. Any Issuing Bank (other than JPMorgan Chase or any of its Affiliates) shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing on each Business Day of all Letters of Credit issued on the prior Business Day by such Issuing Bank.

(b) Each Standby Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of the date which is (i) one (1) year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or such other longer period of time as the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank may agree) (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one (1) year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) unless Cash Collateralized or otherwise credit supported to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank, five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date; provided, however, that each Standby Letter of Credit may, upon the request of the Lead Borrower, include a provision whereby such Letter of Credit shall be renewed automatically for additional consecutive periods of twelve (12) months or less (but not beyond the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date unless Cash Collateralized or otherwise credit supported to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank) unless the applicable Issuing Bank notifies the beneficiary thereof at least thirty (30) days prior to the then-applicable expiration date that such Letter of Credit will not be renewed.

(c) Each Commercial Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of the date which is (i) one year after the date of the issuance of such Commercial Letter of Credit (or such other period as may be acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank) and (ii) unless Cash Collateralized or otherwise credit supported to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank, five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date.

(d) Drafts drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be reimbursed by the Borrowers in an amount equal to such drawing not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately following the day that the Lead Borrower receives notice of such drawing and demand for payment by the applicable Issuing Bank, provided that (i) in the absence of written notice to the contrary from the Lead Borrower and subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, such payments shall be financed when due with an ABR Loan or Swingline Loan to the applicable Borrower in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the respective Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Loan or Swingline Loan, and (ii) in the event that the Lead Borrower has notified the Administrative Agent that it will not so finance any such payments, the

applicable Borrowers will make payment directly to the applicable Issuing Bank when due. Such payments shall be due on the date specified in the demand for payment by the Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall promptly remit the payments received by it from any Borrower in reimbursement of a draw under a Letter of Credit to the applicable Issuing Bank or the proceeds of an ABR Loan or Swingline Loan, as the case may be, used to finance such payment. The Issuing Banks shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Banks shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether the applicable Issuing Bank has made or will make payment thereunder; provided, however, that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligations to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such payment.

(e) If an Issuing Bank shall make any Letter of Credit Disbursement, then, unless the applicable Borrowers shall reimburse such Issuing Bank in full on the date provided in Section 2.15(d), above, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Loans for each day from and including the date such payment is made to, but excluding, the date that such Borrowers reimburse such Issuing Bank therefor; provided, however, that, if such Borrowers fail to reimburse such Issuing Bank when due pursuant to this Section 2.15(e), then interest shall accrue at the rate set forth in Section 2.8(c). Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of, and promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent upon receipt to, the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15(g) to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(f) Immediately upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit by an Issuing Bank (or the amendment of a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof), and without any further action on the part of such Issuing Bank, such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have sold to each Lender and each such Lender shall be deemed unconditionally and irrevocably to have purchased from such Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share in such Letter of Credit, each drawing thereunder and the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents with respect thereto. Upon any change in the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.14, 2.21 or 13.6 of this Agreement, it is hereby agreed that with respect to all Letter of Credit Outstandings, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations hereby created to reflect the new Pro Rata Shares of the assigning and assignee Lenders and the Additional Commitment Lenders, if applicable. Any action taken or omitted by an Issuing Bank under or in connection with a Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not create for such Issuing Bank any resulting liability to any Lender.

(g) In the event that an Issuing Bank makes any Letter of Credit Disbursement and the Borrowers shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to such Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.15, such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each Lender of such failure, and each Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such unreimbursed payment, in Dollars and in same day funds. If an Issuing Bank so notifies the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent so notifies the applicable Lenders prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day, each such Lender shall make available to such Issuing Bank such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in same day funds (or if such notice is received by the Lenders after 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the day of receipt, payment shall be made on the immediately following Business Day in same day funds). If and to the extent such Lender shall not have so made its Pro Rata Share of the amount of such payment available to the applicable Issuing Bank, such Lender agrees to pay to such Issuing Bank forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to

the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank at the Federal Funds Effective Rate. Each Lender agrees to fund its Pro Rata Share of such unreimbursed payment notwithstanding a failure to satisfy any applicable lending conditions or the provisions of Article 2 or Article 7, or the occurrence of the Termination Date. The failure of any Lender to make available to the applicable Issuing Bank its Pro Rata Share of any payment under any Letter of Credit shall neither relieve any Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to such Issuing Bank its Pro Rata Share of any payment under any Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, nor increase the obligation of such other Lender. Whenever any Lender has made payments to an Issuing Bank in respect of any reimbursement obligation for any Letter of Credit, such Lender shall be entitled to share ratably, based on its Pro Rata Share, in all payments and collections thereafter received on account of such reimbursement obligation. All participations in Letters of Credit by the Lenders shall be made in Dollars.

(h) Whenever the Lead Borrower desires that an Issuing Bank issue a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension (other than automatic renewal or extensions) of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Lead Borrower shall give to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent at least two (2) Business Days’ prior written (including, without limitation, by telegraphic, telex, facsimile or cable communication) notice (or such shorter period as may be agreed upon in writing by the applicable Issuing Bank and the Lead Borrower) specifying the date on which the proposed Letter of Credit is to be issued, amended, renewed or extended (which shall be a Business Day), the Stated Amount of the Letter of Credit so requested, the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof, and the provisions thereof. If requested by an Issuing Bank, the Lead Borrower shall also submit documentation on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit; provided that, in the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the terms of such documentation and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall supersede any inconsistent or contrary terms in such documentation and this Agreement shall control.

(i) Subject to the limitations set forth below, the obligations of the Borrowers to reimburse the Issuing Banks for any Letter of Credit Disbursement shall be unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation (it being understood that any such payment by the Borrowers shall be without prejudice to, and shall not constitute a waiver of, any rights the Borrowers might have or might acquire as a result of the payment by an Issuing Bank of any draft or the reimbursement by the Borrowers thereof): (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of a Letter of Credit; (ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which a Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or against any Issuing Bank or any of the Lenders or Agents, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction; (iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged or fraudulent in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (iv) payment by an Issuing Bank of any Letter of Credit against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document which does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; (v) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.15, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, any Credit Party’s obligations hereunder; or (vi) the fact that any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; provided that the Borrowers shall have no obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank to the extent that such payment was made in error due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). No Issuing Bank, Lender or Agent shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other

communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Banks; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Banks from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrowers that are caused by the applicable Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented that appear on their face to be in compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, an Issuing Bank may, in its reasonable discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(j) If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Lead Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the applicable Credit Parties shall immediately Cash Collateralize the Letter of Credit Outstandings owing by such Credit Parties as of such date. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cash Collateralize” means to deposit in the Cash Collateral Account an amount in cash equal to 103% of the Letter of Credit Outstandings owing by such Credit Parties as of such date, plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon. Each such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent for the payment and performance of the Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over the Cash Collateral Account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent (at the request of the Lead Borrower and at the Borrowers’ risk and expense), such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in the Cash Collateral Account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Banks for payments on account of drawings under Letters of Credit for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers for the Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, shall be applied to satisfy the other respective Obligations of the applicable Borrower. If the applicable Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned promptly to the respective Borrower but in no event later than two (2) Business Days after all such Defaults and Events of Default have been cured or waived.

(k) The Lenders (including each Lender that issued any Existing Letter of Credit) and the Borrowers agree that effective as of the Closing Date, the Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued and maintained under, and to be governed by the terms and conditions of, this Agreement as Letters of Credit.

SECTION 2.16 Swingline Loans.

(a) The Swingline Lender is authorized by the Lenders to, and may, in its sole discretion, make Swingline Loans at any time (subject to Section 2.16(b)) to the Borrowers up to the amount of the sum of the Swingline Loan Ceiling, plus any Permitted Overadvances, upon a notice of Borrowing from Lead Borrower received by the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender (which notice, at the Swingline Lender’s discretion, may be submitted prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) for the Borrowers) and proceeds from such Swingline Loans shall be disbursed no later than 4:00 p.m. (New York City time); provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swingline

Loan. Swingline Loans shall be ABR Loans and shall be subject to periodic settlement with the Lenders under Section 2.17 below. Immediately upon the making of a Swingline Loan, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swingline Lender a risk participation in such Swingline Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share, times the amount of such Swingline Loan. The Swingline Lender shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Agents in Article 12 with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the Swingline Lender in connection with Swingline Loans made by it or proposed to be made by it as if the term “Agents” as used in Article 12 included the Swingline Lender with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the Swingline Lender.

(b) The Lead Borrower’s request for a Swingline Loan shall be deemed a representation that the applicable conditions for borrowing under Article 7 are satisfied. If the conditions for borrowing under Article 7 cannot in fact be fulfilled, (i) the Lead Borrower shall give immediate notice (a “Noncompliance Notice”) thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly provide each Lender with a copy of the Noncompliance Notice, and (ii) the Required Lenders may direct the Swingline Lender to, and the Swingline Lender thereupon shall, cease making Swingline Loans (other than Permitted Overadvances) until such conditions can be satisfied or are waived in accordance with Section 13.1. Unless the Required Lenders so direct the Swingline Lender, the Swingline Lender may, but is not obligated to, continue to make Swingline Loans commencing one (1) Business Day after the Non-Compliance Notice is furnished to the Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Swingline Loans (other than Permitted Overadvances) shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.16(b) if the aggregate outstanding amount of the Credit Extensions and Swingline Loans would exceed the Line Cap.

SECTION 2.17 Settlement Amongst Lenders.

(a) The Swingline Lender may, at any time (but, in any event shall weekly, as provided in Section 2.17(b)), on behalf of the Borrowers (which hereby authorize the Swingline Lender to act on their behalf in that regard) request the Administrative Agent to cause the Lenders to make a Revolving Loan (which shall be an ABR Loan) in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding amount of Swingline Loans made in accordance with Section 2.16, which request may be made regardless of whether the conditions set forth in Article 7 have been satisfied. Upon such request, each Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent the proceeds of such Revolving Loan for the account of the Swingline Lender. If the Swingline Lender requires a Revolving Loan to be made by the Lenders and the request therefor is received prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on a Business Day, such transfers shall be made in immediately available funds no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) that day; and, if the request therefor is received after 12:00 Noon (New York City time), then no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the next Business Day. The obligation of each such Lender to transfer such funds is irrevocable, unconditional and without recourse to, or warranty by, the Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender. If and to the extent any Lender shall not have so made its transfer to the Administrative Agent, such Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand, such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

(b) The amount of each Lender’s Pro Rata Share of outstanding Revolving Loans (including outstanding Swingline Loans) shall be computed weekly (or more frequently in the Administrative Agent’s discretion) and shall be adjusted upward or downward based on all Revolving Loans (including Swingline Loans) and repayments of Revolving Loans (including Swingline Loans) received by the Administrative Agent as of 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the first Business Day (such date, the “Settlement Date”) following the end of the weekly settlement period specified by the Administrative Agent.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall deliver to each of the Lenders promptly after a Settlement Date a summary statement of the amount of outstanding Revolving Loans (including Swingline Loans) for the period and the amount of repayments received for the period. As reflected on the summary statement, (i) the Administrative Agent shall transfer to each Lender its applicable Pro Rata Share of repayments, and (ii) each Lender shall transfer to the Administrative Agent, or the Administrative Agent shall transfer to each Lender, such amounts as are necessary to insure that, after giving effect to all such transfers, the amount of Revolving Loans made by each Lender with respect to Revolving Loans to the Borrowers (including Swingline Loans), shall be equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of Revolving Loans (including Swingline Loans) outstanding as of such Settlement Date. If the summary statement requires transfers to be made to the Administrative Agent by the Lenders and is received prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on a Business Day, such transfers shall be made in immediately available funds no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) that day; and, if received after 12:00 Noon (New York City time), then no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the next Business Day. The obligation of each Lender to transfer such funds is irrevocable, unconditional and without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent. If and to the extent any Lender shall not have so made its transfer to the Administrative Agent, such Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

SECTION 2.18 Overadvances.

(a) The Agents and the Lender Parties shall have no obligation to make any Loan (including, without limitation, any Swingline Loan) or to provide any Letter of Credit if an Overadvance would result.

(b) The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, make Permitted Overadvances to the Borrowers without the consent of the Lenders and each Lender shall be bound thereby. Any Permitted Overadvances may constitute Swingline Loans. The making of a Permitted Overadvance is for the benefit of the Borrowers and shall constitute a Revolving Loan and an Obligation. The making of any such Permitted Overadvance on any one occasion shall not obligate the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party to make or permit any Permitted Overadvance on any other occasion or to permit such Permitted Overadvances to remain outstanding.

The making by the Administrative Agent of a Permitted Overadvance shall not modify or abrogate any of the provisions of Section 2.15(g) regarding the Lenders’ obligations to purchase participations with respect to Letter of Credit Disbursements.

SECTION 2.19 Reserves; Changes to Reserves.

(a) The initial Reserves as of the Closing Date are those set forth in the Borrowing Base Certificate delivered to the Administrative Agent on the Closing Date.

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may, subject to clause (vi) in the second proviso to Section 13.1, hereafter establish additional Reserves or change any of the Reserves or modify standards of eligibility in effect on the Closing Date to the extent it deems necessary or appropriate in its Permitted Discretion; provided that such Reserves shall not be established or changed except upon not less than five (5) Business Days notice to the Borrowers (during which period the Administrative Agent shall be available to discuss any such proposed Reserve with the Borrowers); provided further that no such prior notice shall be required for (1) changes to any Reserves resulting solely by virtue of mathematical calculations of the amount of the Reserve in accordance with the methodology of calculation previously utilized, or (2) changes to Reserves or the

establishment of additional Reserves if a Material Adverse Effect under clause (b) of the definition thereof has occurred or it would be reasonably likely that a Material Adverse Effect under clause (b) of the definition thereof would occur were such Reserves not changed or established prior to the expiration of such five (5) Business Day period.

SECTION 2.20 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 4.1;

(b) the Total Commitment and Pro Rata Share of Credit Extensions of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders, all affected Lenders, the Required Lenders or the Supermajority Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 13.1); provided that any waiver, amendment or modification which requires the consent of all Lenders, or which requires the consent of each affected Lender and which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders, or which extends the final expiration date of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment or increases its aggregate Commitments, shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender;

(i) all or any portion of such Swingline Loans and Letter of Credit Outstandings shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share but only to the extent (x) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Credit Extensions plus such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of Swingline Loans and Letter of Credit Outstandings does not exceed the lesser of the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Total Commitment and the Borrowing Base, (y) the conditions set forth in Article 7 are satisfied at such time and (z) with respect to any Lender, after giving effect to such reallocation the sum of such Lender’s Loans then outstanding plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of Swingline Loans and Letter of Credit Outstandings does not exceed such Lender’s Commitment;

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall within three (3) Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay the Pro Rata Share of Swingline Loans of such Defaulting Lender and (y) second, cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Outstandings (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.15 for so long as such Letter of Credit Outstandings remain in effect;

(iii) if the Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Outstandings pursuant to this Section 2.20(c), the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 4.1 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Outstandings during the period such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Outstandings is cash collateralized;

(iv) if the Letter of Credit Outstandings of the non-Defaulting Lenders are reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.20(c), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to

Section 4.1 shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Pro Rata Share after giving effect to such reallocation; and

(v) if any Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Outstandings are neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.20(c), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the applicable Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 4.1 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Outstandings shall be payable to the applicable Issuing Bank until such Letter of Credit Outstandings are cash collateralized and/or reallocated;

(d) so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Banks shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.20(c), and participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit or newly made Swingline Loan shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.20(c)(i) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein); and

(e) in the event and on the date that each of the Administrative Agent, the Lead Borrower, the Issuing Banks and the Swingline Lender agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Credit Extensions in respect of Swingline Loans and Letter of Credit Outstandings of the other Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share.

SECTION 2.21 Repayment of Loans; Termination or Reduction of Commitments.

(a) Upon the Maturity Date, the Commitments of the Lenders (other than any Extension Series) shall be terminated in full, and the Borrowers shall pay, in full and in cash, all outstanding Loans (other than any Extended Loans) and all other outstanding Obligations (other than Obligations related to any Extension Series) then owing by them to the Lender Parties. Upon the relevant maturity date for any Extension Series of Extended Commitments, such Extended Commitments of the Lenders shall be terminated in full, and the Borrowers shall pay, in full and in cash, all outstanding Extended Loans of such Extension Series and all other outstanding Obligations (other than Obligations related to an Extension Series with a later maturity) then owing by them to the Lender Parties. Upon the Termination Date that is not the Maturity Date, the Commitments of the Lenders shall be terminated in full, and the Borrowers shall pay, in full and in cash, all outstanding Loans and all other outstanding Obligations then owing by them to the Lender Parties. The Borrowers shall repay, in full and in cash, each Swingline Loan on the earlier to occur of (i) the date ten Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made and (ii) the Termination Date.

(b) Upon at least two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lead Borrower may, at any time, in whole permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the Commitments. Each such reduction shall be in the principal amount of $5,000,000 or any integral multiple thereof. Each such reduction or termination shall (i) be applied ratably to the Commitments of each Lender and (ii) be irrevocable at the effective time of any such termination or reduction. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for application as provided in clause (i) of this Section 2.21(b), (A) at the effective time of any such termination (but not any partial reduction), all earned and unpaid Unused Fees accrued on the Commitments so terminated and

(B) at the effective time of any such reduction or termination, any amount by which the Credit Extensions to the Borrowers outstanding on such date exceed the amount to which the Commitments are to be reduced effective on such date.

SECTION 2.22 Cash Management.

(a) Immediately upon the occurrence of a Cash Dominion Event, the Credit Parties, upon the request of the Collateral Agent, shall deliver to the Collateral Agent a schedule of all DDAs, that to the knowledge of the Responsible Officers of the Credit Parties, are maintained by the Credit Parties, which Schedule includes, with respect to each depository, (i) the name and address of such depository, (ii) the account number(s) maintained with such depository, and (iii) a contact person at such depository.

(b) Within 90 days after the Closing Date (or such later date as may be acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), each Credit Party shall have entered into a blocked account agreement (each, a “Blocked Account Agreement”) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent with any bank with which such Credit Party maintains a DDA (other than Excluded Accounts) (collectively, the “Blocked Accounts”).

(c) Each Blocked Account Agreement shall require, during the continuance of a Cash Dominion Trigger Period (and delivery of notice thereof from the Administrative Agent), the wire transfer on each Business Day (and whether or not there is then an outstanding balance in the Loan Account) of all available cash receipts (the “Cash Receipts”) (other than amounts not to exceed $10,000,000 in the aggregate which may be deposited into a segregated DDA which the Lead Borrower designates in writing to the Administrative Agent as being the “uncontrolled cash account” (the “Designated Account”)) to the concentration account maintained by the Administrative Agent at JPMorgan Chase (the “Concentration Account”), from:

(i) the sale of Inventory and other Collateral;

(ii) all proceeds of collections of Accounts;

(iii) all Net Proceeds on account of any Prepayment Event; and

(iv) each Blocked Account (including all cash deposited therein from each DDA (other than the Designated Account)).

(d) If, at any time during the continuance of a Cash Dominion Event, any cash or cash equivalents owned by any Credit Party (other than (i) an amount of up to $10,000,000 that is on deposit in the Designated Account, which funds shall not be funded from, or when withdrawn from the Designated Account, shall not be replenished by, funds constituting proceeds of Collateral so long as such Cash Dominion Event continues, (ii) de minimis cash or cash equivalents inadvertently misapplied by the Credit Parties and (iii) payroll, trust and tax withholding accounts funded in the ordinary course of business and required by applicable law) are deposited to any account, or held or invested in any manner, otherwise than in a Blocked Account that is subject to a Blocked Account Agreement (or a DDA which is swept daily to a Blocked Account), the applicable Credit Party shall close such account and have all funds therein and all future deposits thereto transferred to a Blocked Account which is subject to a Blocked Account Agreement.

(e) The Credit Parties may close DDAs or Blocked Accounts and/or open new DDAs or Blocked Accounts, subject to the execution and delivery to the Administrative Agent of appropriate Blocked Account Agreements consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.22 and

otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. The Credit Parties shall furnish the Collateral Agent with prior written notice of their intention to open or close a Blocked Account and the Collateral Agent shall promptly notify the Lead Borrower as to whether the Collateral Agent shall require a Blocked Account Agreement with the Person with whom such account will be maintained.

(f) The Credit Parties may also maintain one or more disbursement accounts (the “Disbursement Accounts”) to be used by the Credit Parties for disbursements and payments (including payroll) in the ordinary course of business.

(g) The Concentration Account shall at all times be under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent. Each Credit Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) such Credit Party has no right of withdrawal from the Concentration Account, (ii) the funds on deposit in the Concentration Account shall at all times continue to be collateral security for all of the Obligations, and (iii) the funds on deposit in the Concentration Account shall be applied as provided in this Agreement. In the event that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.22, any Credit Party receives or otherwise has dominion and control of any such proceeds or collections, such proceeds and collections shall be held in trust by such Credit Party for the Administrative Agent shall not be commingled with any of such Credit Party’s other funds or deposited in any account of such Credit Party and shall promptly be deposited into the Concentration Account or dealt with in such other fashion as such Credit Party may be instructed by the Administrative Agent.

(h) Any amounts received in the Concentration Account at any time when all of the Obligations then due have been and remain fully repaid shall be remitted to the operating account of the Borrowers maintained with the Administrative Agent.

(j) The following shall apply to deposits and payments under and pursuant to this Agreement:

(i) Funds shall be deemed to have been deposited to the Concentration Account on the Business Day on which deposited, provided that such deposit is available to the Administrative Agent by 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on that Business Day (except that, if the Obligations are being paid in full, by 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on that Business Day);

(ii) Funds paid to the Administrative Agent, other than by deposit to the Concentration Account, shall be deemed to have been received on the Business Day when they are good and collected funds, provided that such payment is available to the Administrative Agent by 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on that Business Day;

(iii) If a deposit to the Concentration Account or payment is not available to the Administrative Agent until after 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day, such deposit or payment shall be deemed to have been made at 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the then next Business Day; and

(iv) If any item deposited to the Concentration Account and credited to the Loan Account is dishonored or returned unpaid for any reason, whether or not such return is rightful or timely, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to reverse such credit and charge the amount of such item to the applicable Loan Account and the applicable Credit Parties shall

indemnify the Secured Parties against all out-of-pocket claims and losses resulting from such dishonor or return.

SECTION 2.23 Maintenance of Loan Account; Statements of Account.

(a) The Administrative Agent shall maintain an account on its books in the name of the Borrowers (the “Loan Account”) which will reflect (i) all Loans and other advances made by the Lenders to the Borrowers or for the Borrowers’ account, (ii) all Letter of Credit Disbursements, fees and interest that have become payable as herein set forth, and (iii) any and all other monetary Obligations that have become payable.

After the end of each month, the Administrative Agent shall send or otherwise provide to the Borrowers a statement accounting for the charges (including interest), loans, advances and other transactions occurring among and between the Administrative Agent, the Lender Parties and the Borrowers during that month.

(b) Each prepayment in respect of any Loans pursuant to this Section 5.1 shall be (i) applied to the Class or Classes as the Borrowers may specify and (ii) applied within each Class in such order as the Borrowers may specify. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers may not repay Extended Loans and permanently reduce the corresponding Extended Commitments of any Extension Series unless such prepayment is accompanied by a pro rata repayment of Loans and permanent reduction of the corresponding Commitments of the Existing Class from which such Extended Loans and Extended Commitments were converted (or such Loans and Commitments of the Existing Class have otherwise been repaid and terminated in full).

SECTION 5.2 Mandatory Prepayments.

(a) Prepayments. If, at any time, the amount of the Credit Extensions by the Lender Parties exceeds the Line Cap, the Borrowers will, immediately upon notice from the Administrative Agent, (i) prepay the Loans in an amount necessary to eliminate such excess; and (ii) if, after giving effect to the prepayment in full of all outstanding Loans such excess has not been eliminated, Cash Collateralize the Letter of Credit Outstandings.

SECTION 5.3 Method and Place of Payment.

(a) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under this Agreement shall be made by the Borrowers, without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders and Issuing Banks 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 Borrowers, it being understood that written or facsimile notice by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent to make a payment from the funds in a 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 and all other payments under each Credit Document shall 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 Day) like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or Fees ratably to the Lender Parties 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, 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.

SECTION 5.4 Net Payments.

If, however, applicable laws require any Credit Party or the Administrative Agent to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax shall be withheld or deducted in accordance with such laws as reasonably determined by such withholding agent.

(ii) If any Credit Party or the Administrative Agent shall be required by the Code or any other applicable law to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States federal backup withholding and withholding Taxes, from any payment, then (A) such withholding agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are reasonably determined by such withholding agent to be required by applicable law, (B) such withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or deductions have been made (including withholding or deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.4) each Lender (or, in the case of a payment to the Administrative Agent for its own account, the Administrative Agent) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deductions been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers.

(5) executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable laws to permit the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

Solely for purposes of this clause (C), FATCA shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement; and

(D) If the Administrative Agent is a “United States person” (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), it shall provide Borrower with two duly completed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or applicable successor form) certifying that such Administrative Agent is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding. If the Administrative Agent is not a “United States person” (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), it shall provide Borrower with two duly completed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or applicable successor form) (together with any required accompanying documentation) certifying on Part I and Part IV of such Form W-8IMY that it is a U.S. branch that has agreed to be treated as a U.S. person for United States federal withholding tax purposes with respect to payments to be received by it on

behalf of the Lenders. Nothing in this clause (D) shall require the Administrative Agent to provide any documentation it is not legally eligible to provide as a result of a change in applicable law after the date hereof.

If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Credit Party or with respect to which any Credit Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent or such Lender (as applicable) shall pay to the Borrowers an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Credit Parties under this Section with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrowers, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrowers (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. In such event, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, shall, at the Borrowers’ request, provide the Borrowers with a copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence of the requirement to repay such refund received from the relevant taxing authority (provided that the Administrative Agent or such Lender may delete any information therein that it deems confidential).

(a) Except as provided in the next succeeding sentence, interest on LIBOR Loans and ABR Loans shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed.

If any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents would obligate the Borrowers 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 applicable law, rule or regulation, 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 law, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid by the Borrowers to the affected Lender under Section 2.8.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, if any Lender shall have received from the Borrowers an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by any applicable law, rule or regulation, then the Borrowers 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 Borrowers.

Accrual of interest or dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount and the payment of interest or dividends in the form of additional Indebtedness, Disqualified Equity Interests or preferred stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness, Disqualified Equity Interests or preferred stock for purposes of this covenant.

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.

SECTION 10.2 Limitation on Liens.

(a) The Borrowers will not, and will not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien upon any property or assets of any kind (real or personal,

Issuing Bank to issue any Letter of Credit) shall irrevocably terminate immediately; (ii) declare the Obligations then outstanding to be due and payable in whole, and thereupon the principal of the Loans and all other Obligations so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Credit Parties accrued hereunder, shall become due and payable immediately, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Credit Parties; or (iii) require the applicable Credit Parties to Cash Collateralize their respective Letter of Credit Outstandings. In case of any event described in Section 11.5, the Commitments (including the obligation of any Issuing Bank to issue any Letter of Credit) shall automatically and irrevocably terminate and the principal of the Loans and other Obligations then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other obligations of the Credit Parties accrued hereunder, shall automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Credit Parties, and the Administrative Agent may require the applicable Credit Parties to Cash Collateralize their respective Letter of Credit Outstandings.

SECTION 11.13 Application of Proceeds. After the occurrence and during the continuance of (i) any Cash Dominion Trigger Period or (ii) any Event of Default and acceleration of the Obligations, all proceeds realized from any Credit Party or on account of any Collateral owned by a Credit Party or, without limiting the foregoing, on account of any Prepayment Event, any payments in respect of any Obligations and all proceeds of the Collateral, shall be applied in the following order:

(i) first, ratably to pay the Obligations in respect of any fees and expenses, indemnities and other amounts (including, without limitation, amounts in respect of any Loans advanced by the Administrative Agent on behalf of a Lender for which the Administrative Agent has not been reimbursed) then due to the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent until paid in full;

(ii) second, to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Swingline Lender and any Lender that has acquired and fully paid for its participating interest in the applicable Swingline Loans, ratably to pay Obligations in respect of Swingline Loans then due to the Swingline Lender and each such Lender, until paid in full;

(iii) third, to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Issuing Banks and any Lender that has acquired and fully paid for its participating interest in the applicable Letters of Credit, ratably to pay Obligations in respect of such Letters of Credit then due to the Issuing Banks and each such Lender, until paid in full;

(iv) fourth, ratably to pay any expenses, indemnities, and fees then due to the Lenders and Issuing Banks, until paid in full;

(v) fifth, ratably (A) to pay the accrued but unpaid interest in respect of the Loans, (B) to pay the unpaid principal in respect of the Loans (C) to the extent a Bank Product Reserve has been established therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof, to pay the unpaid Reserved Secured Hedge Obligations, including the cash collateralization of such Reserved Secured Hedge Obligations, (D) to the extent a Bank Product Reserve has been established therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance the terms hereof, to pay (x) the unpaid Reserved Secured Cash Management Obligations with respect to credit cards, commercial cards and purchase cards, and (y) other unpaid Reserved Secured Cash Management Obligations in an aggregate amount not to exceed $10,000,000, provided that the Lead Borrower shall have designated in writing to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Reserved Secured Cash Management Obligations owing under any Secured Cash

119

Management Agreement that shall be subject to this clause (y) and (E) to be held by the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Issuing Banks and the Lenders to Cash Collateralize the then extant Stated Amount of Letters of Credit, in each case until paid in full;

(vi) sixth, ratably to pay other Obligations then due (other than Obligations in respect of Secured Cash Management Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements), until paid in full;

(vii) seventh, ratably to pay other Obligations in respect of the Secured Hedge Agreements and Secured Cash Management Agreements, until paid in full; and

(viii) eighth, to the Lead Borrower or such other Person entitled thereto under Applicable Law.

Amounts distributed with respect to any Reserved Secured Cash Management Obligations and Reserved Secured Hedge Obligations shall be the lesser of (x) the maximum Reserved Secured Cash Management Obligations and Reserved Secured Hedge Obligations last reported to the Administrative Agent and (y) the Reserved Secured Cash Management Obligations and Reserved Secured Hedge Obligations as calculated by the methodology reported by each applicable Cash Management Bank and Hedge Bank to Administrative Agent for determining the amount due. The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to calculate the amount to be distributed with respect to any Reserved Secured Cash Management Obligations and Reserved Secured Hedge Obligations, and at any time and from time to time may request a reasonably detailed calculation of such amount from the applicable Secured Party holding such Reserved Secured Cash Management Obligations and Reserved Secured Hedge Obligations. If a Secured Party fails to deliver such calculation within five (5) days following request by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume the amount to be distributed is no greater than the maximum amount of the Reserved Secured Cash Management Obligations or Reserved Secured Hedge Obligations last reported to Administrative Agent.

SECTION 11.14 Equity Cure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 11, in the event that the Borrowers fail to comply with the requirement of any financial covenant set forth in Section 10.9, until the expiration of the 10th Business Day following the date of the delivery of the Compliance Certificate under Section 9.1(d) with the financial statements referred to Section 9.1(a) or (b) in respect of the fiscal period for which such financial covenant is being measured, the Lead Borrower shall have the right to cure such failure (the “Cure Right”) by causing cash net equity proceeds derived from an issuance of Stock or Stock Equivalents (other than Disqualified Equity Interests) by Holdings to be contributed as common equity to the Lead Borrower, and upon receipt by the Lead Borrower of such cash contribution (such cash amount being referred to as the “Cure Amount”) pursuant to the exercise of such Cure Right, such financial covenant shall be recalculated giving effect to the following pro forma adjustments:

(a) Consolidated EBITDA shall be increased, solely for the purpose of determining the existence of an Event of Default resulting from a breach of the financial covenant set forth in Section 10.9 with respect to any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters that includes the fiscal quarter for which the Cure Right was exercised and not for any other purpose under this Agreement, by an amount equal to the Cure Amount.

(b) if, after giving effect to the foregoing recalculations, the Borrowers shall then be in compliance with the requirements of the financial covenant set forth in Section 10.9, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of the financial covenant set forth in Section 10.9 as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply

120

therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or default of such financial covenants that had occurred shall be deemed cured for the purposes of this Agreement; provided that (i) in each period of four consecutive fiscal quarters there shall be at least two fiscal quarters in which no Cure Right is made, (ii) there shall be a maximum of four Cure Rights made during the term of this Agreement, (iii) each Cure Amount shall be no greater than the amount required to cause the Borrowers to be in compliance with the financial covenant set forth in Section 10.9; (iv) all Cure Amounts shall be disregarded for the purposes of any financial ratio determination under the Credit Documents other than for determining compliance with Section 10.9; and (v) no Lender or Issuing Bank shall be required to make any extension of credit hereunder during the 10 Business Days period referred to above.

ARTICLE 12

THE AGENTS

SECTION 12.1 Appointment.

(a) Each Lender and Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Administrative Agent as the agent of such Lender and Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article 12 (other than Section 12.1(c) with respect to the Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners and Section 12.9 with respect to the Borrowers) are solely for the benefit of the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders, and the Borrowers shall not have rights as third party beneficiary of any such provision. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or Issuing Bank, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Credit Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.

(b) The Administrative Agent and each Lender and Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably designate and appoint the Collateral Agent as the agent with respect to the Collateral, and each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and Issuing Bank irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Credit Document or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent.

(c) Each of the Co-Documentation Agents, Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners in its capacity as such shall not have any obligations, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement but shall be entitled to all benefits of this Article 12.

SECTION 12.2 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may each execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents by or through agents, sub-agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral

121

Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents, subagents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined in the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction).

SECTION 12.3 Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (a) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document (except for its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined in the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein) or (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Issuing Banks or Lenders or any participant for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any of the Borrowers, any Guarantor, any other Credit Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Credit Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by such Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Credit Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or the perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created under the Security Documents, or for any failure of any Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Credit Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent shall be under any obligation to any Lender or Issuing Bank to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Credit Party or any Affiliate thereof. The Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to the Administrative Agent or any Lender or Issuing Bank to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Credit Party.

SECTION 12.4 Reliance by Agents. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or instruction believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the Lender and Issuing Bank specified in the Register with respect to any amount owing hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. 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 Credit 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 Credit 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, Issuing Banks and all future holders of the Loans; provided that the Administrative Agent and 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 Credit Document or applicable law. For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Articles 6 and 7 on the Closing Date, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its objection thereto.

122

SECTION 12.5 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 Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent has received written notice from a Lender or a Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, it shall give notice thereof to the Lenders and the Collateral Agent. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of 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 Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders except to the extent that this Agreement requires that such action be taken only with the approval of the Required Lenders or each of the Lenders, as applicable).

SECTION 12.6 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and Issuing Bank 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 Collateral Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of any Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Credit Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent to any Lender or Issuing Bank. Each Lender and Issuing Bank represents to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any other Lender or Issuing Bank, 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 each Borrower, Guarantor and other Credit Party and made its own decision to make its Loans or issue Letters of Credit hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and Issuing Bank also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or any other Lender or Issuing Bank, 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 Credit 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 any Borrower, any Guarantor and any other Credit Party. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders or Issuing Banks by the Administrative Agent hereunder, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender or Issuing Bank with any credit or other information concerning the business, assets, operations, properties, financial condition, prospects or creditworthiness of any Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Credit Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

SECTION 12.7 Indemnification. The Lenders and Issuing Banks agree to severally indemnify each Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Credit Parties and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), ratably according to their respective Pro Rata Shares in effect 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 Pro Rata Shares in effect 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 an Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Credit Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any

123

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 judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, further, that no action taken by the Administrative 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 Credit Documents) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 12.7. 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 12.7 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender and Issuing Bank 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 Credit 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 Borrowers, provided that such reimbursement by the Lenders and Issuing Banks 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 12.7 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

SECTION 12.8 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 any Borrower, any Guarantor, and any other Credit Party as though such Agent were not an Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents. With respect to the Loans made by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Credit 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.

SECTION 12.9 Successor Agents. Each of the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrowers. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, subject to the consent of the Borrowers (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) so long as no Default under Section 11.1 or 11.5 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 Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor 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 execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such amendments or supplements to the Mortgages, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Required Lenders may request, in order to continue the perfection of the

124

Liens granted or purported to be granted by the Security 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 Credit Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrowers (following the effectiveness of such appointment) to such Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, the provisions of this Article 12 (including 12.7) and Section 13.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring 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 Agent was acting as an Agent.

Any resignation by JPMorgan Chase as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as Swingline Lender and as an Issuing Bank. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Swingline Lender and Issuing Bank, (ii) the retiring Swing Line Lender and Issuing Bank shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations as Swing Line Lender and Issuing Bank, as the case may be, hereunder or under the other Credit Documents, and (iii) the successor Issuing Bank shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring Issuing Bank to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Issuing Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit.

SECTION 12.10 Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable 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 for any reason (including, without limitation, 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), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Credit Parties and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties 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. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off any amounts payable to such Lender against any amounts owing by such Lender to the Administrative Agent under this Section 12.10.

SECTION 12.11 Agents Under Security 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 the Secured Parties, to be the agent for and representative of the Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral and the Security Documents. Subject to Section 13.1, without further written consent or authorization from any Secured Party, the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, may execute any documents or instruments necessary to in connection with a sale or disposition of assets permitted by this Agreement, (i) release any Lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the subject of such sale or other disposition of assets, or with respect to which Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 13.1) have otherwise consented or (ii) release any Guarantor from the Guarantee, or with respect to which Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 13.1) have otherwise consented.

125

SECTION 12.12 Right to Realize on Collateral and Enforce Guarantee. Anything contained in any of the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrowers, the Agents and each Secured Party hereby agree that (i) 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 (ii) 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.

ARTICLE 13

MISCELLANEOUS

SECTION 13.1 Amendments, Waivers and Releases. Neither this Agreement nor any other Credit Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof, may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 13.1. The Required Lenders may, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent may, from time to time, (a) enter into with the relevant Credit Party or Credit Parties written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Credit Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Credit 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 Credit Documents or any Default or Event of 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; and provided, further, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (i) forgive or reduce any portion of any Loan or 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 Borrowers 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 extend the final expiration date of any Lender’s Commitment, or increase the aggregate amount of the Commitments of any Lender, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, or (ii) alter the order of application set forth in Section 11.13 or the ratable treatment within any priority set forth in such Section, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby, or (iii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Article 12 without the written consent of the then-current Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent in a manner that directly and adversely affects such Person, or (iv) amend, modify or waive any provision that affects the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Swingline Lender or any Issuing Bank, without the consent of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Swingline Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, or (v) release all or substantially all of the value of the Guarantees (except as expressly permitted by the Guarantees or this Agreement) or release all or substantially all of the Collateral under the Security Documents (except as expressly permitted by the Security Documents or this Agreement) without the

126

prior written consent of each Lender, or (vi) change the definition of the terms “Excess Availability” or “Borrowing Base” or any component definition thereof if, as a result thereof, the amounts available to be borrowed by the Borrowers would be increased, without the prior written consent of the Supermajority Lenders; provided that the foregoing shall not limit the discretion of the Agents to change, establish or eliminate any Reserves or to add Inventory and Accounts acquired in a Permitted Acquisition to the Borrowing Base as provided herein, or (vii) reduce the percentages specified in the definitions of the terms “Required Lenders” or “Supermajority Lenders” or amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 13.1 that has the effect of altering the number of Lenders that must approve any amendment, modification or waiver, in each case without the written consent of each Lender.

Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the affected Lenders and shall be binding upon each Borrower, such Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the affected Loans. In the case of any waiver, the Borrowers, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, and any Default or Event of 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 Event of 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.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in connection with any “Required Lender” votes, Lenders that are Affiliated Institutional Lenders shall not be permitted, in the aggregate, to account for more than 30% of the amounts includable in determining whether the “Required Lenders” have consented to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action that is subject to such vote. The voting power of each Lender that is an Affiliated Institutional Lender shall be reduced, pro rata, to the extent necessary in order to comply with the immediately preceding sentence.

The Lenders hereby irrevocably agree that the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent by the Credit Parties on any Collateral shall be automatically released (i) in full, upon the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all Obligations under the Credit Documents (except for contingent indemnification obligations in respect of which a claim has not yet been made), (ii) upon the sale or other disposition of such Collateral (including as part of or in connection with any other sale or other disposition permitted hereunder) to any Person other than another Credit Party, to the extent such sale or other disposition is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement (and the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by any Credit Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry), (iii) to the extent such Collateral is comprised of property leased to a Credit Party, upon termination or expiration of such lease, (iv) if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other percentage of the Lenders whose consent may be required in accordance with Section 13.1), (v) to the extent the property constituting such Collateral is owned by any Guarantor, upon the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the applicable Guarantee (in accordance with the following sentence and the other provisions of this Section 13.1) and (vi) as required to effect any sale or other disposition of Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Collateral Documents. Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those being released) upon (or obligations (other than those being released) of the Credit Parties in respect of) all interests retained by the Credit Parties, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral except to the extent otherwise released in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Documents. Additionally, the Lenders hereby irrevocably agree that any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor shall be released from the Guarantees upon consummation of any transaction resulting in such Subsidiary ceasing to constitute a Restricted Subsidiary. The Lenders hereby

127

authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to execute and deliver any instruments, documents, and agreements necessary or desirable to evidence and confirm the release of any Guarantor or Collateral pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, all without the further consent or joinder of any Lender, except as otherwise required by this Section 13.1.

SECTION 13.3 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 or Issuing Bank, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Credit 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 law.

SECTION 13.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties.

No Person entitled to indemnification under clause (d) of this Section 13.5 shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement, nor shall any such Person have any liability for any special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date). In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 13.5 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Credit Party, its directors, stockholders or creditors or any other Person, whether or not any Person entitled to indemnification under clause (d) of this Section 13.5 is otherwise a party thereto. All amounts payable under this Section 13.5 shall be paid within ten Business Days of receipt by the Borrowers of an invoice relating thereto setting forth such expense in reasonable detail. The agreements in this Section 13.5 shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. This Section 13.5 shall not apply with respect to any claims for Taxes, which shall be governed exclusively by Section 5.4 and, to the extent set forth therein, Section 2.10.

SECTION 13.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.

129

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) except as expressly permitted by Section 10.3, no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 13.6. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in clause (c) of this Section 13.6) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and the Lenders and each other Person entitled to indemnification under Section 13.5) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in clause (b)(ii) below, any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; it being understood that, without limitation, the Lead Borrower shall have the right to withhold or delay its consent to any assignment if, in order for such assignment to comply with applicable law, the Lead Borrower would be required to obtain the consent of, or make any filing or registration with, any Governmental Authority) of:

(A) the Lead Borrower, provided that no consent of the Lead Borrower shall be required for (1) an assignment of Commitments or Loans to a Lender or to an Affiliate of a Lender or (2) an assignment of Loans or Commitments to any other assignee if an Event of Default under Section 11.1 or Section 11.5 (with respect to Holdings or the Lead Borrower) has occurred and is continuing; and

(B) the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such assignment shall be made to a natural person.

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000 and increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, unless each of the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that no such consent of the Lead Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under Section 11.1 or Section 11.5 has occurred and is continuing; provided further that contemporaneous assignments to a single assignee made by Affiliates of Lenders and related Approved Funds shall be aggregated for purposes of meeting the minimum assignment amount requirements stated above;

(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of

130

a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans;

(C) The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance via an electronic settlement system reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment;

(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 applicable tax forms;

(E) no such assignment may be made to Holdings, the Lead Borrower or any Subsidiary; and

(F) any assignment to an Affiliated Lender shall also be subject to the requirements of Section 13.6(h).

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to clause (b)(iv) of this Section 13.6, 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, 5.4 and 13.5). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 13.6 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 13.6.

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, 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, and 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 Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Lender Parties 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 Borrowers, 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 and applicable tax forms (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in clause (b) of this Section 13.6 and any written consent to such assignment required by clause (b) of this Section 13.6, the Administrative Agent

131

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

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of any Borrower, the Administrative Agent, Swingline Lender or Issuing Bank 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 Borrowers, 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 Credit 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) or (v) of the second proviso to Section 13.1 that affects such Participant. Subject to clause (c)(ii) of this Section 13.6, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.11 and 5.4 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 13.6, including the requirements of Section 5.4(e) (it being understood that any documentation required under Section 5.4(e) shall be provided to the participating Lender). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 13.8(b) as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant shall be subject to Section 13.8(a) 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 5.4 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). Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a nonfiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest 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 the applicable 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, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Credit Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.

(d) Any Lender may, without the consent of any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender, and this Section 13.6 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 Borrowers hereby agree that, upon request of any Lender at any time and from time to time, the Borrowers shall provide to such

132

Lender, at the Borrowers’ own expense, a promissory note, substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1 or G-2, as applicable, in the principal amount of such Lender’s Commitment.

(e) Subject to Section 13.16, the Borrowers authorize 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 Borrowers and their Affiliates that has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrowers and their Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement or that has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrowers and their Affiliates in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of the Borrowers and their 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) [Reserved]

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of its Loans or Commitments to an Affiliated Lender by entering into an Assignment and Acceptance with such Affiliated Lender and comply with the other requirements of Section 13.6(b); provided that:

(i) by its acquisition of Loans or Commitments, an Affiliated Lender shall be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed that:

(A) it shall not have any right to (i) attend (including by telephone) any meeting or discussions (or portion thereof) among the Administrative Agent or any Lender to which representatives of the Borrowers are not then present, (ii) receive any information or material prepared by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any communication by or among Administrative Agent and one or more Lenders, except to the extent such information or materials have been made available to the Borrowers or their representatives (and in any case, other than the right to receive notices of prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Loans required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to Article II), (iii) make or bring (or participate in, other than as a passive participant in or recipient of its pro rata benefits of) any claim, in its capacity as a Lender, against Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Lender with respect to any duties or obligations or alleged duties or obligations of such Agent or any other such Lender under the Credit Documents, (iv) may not direct the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to take or refrain from taking any action under the Credit Documents and (v) will not be entitled to advice of counsel to the Lenders and may not challenge attorney-client privilege between the Agents, other Lender Parties and such counsel;

(B) except with respect to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action described in clause (i) or (v) of the second proviso of Section 13.1 or that deprives such Affiliated Lender of its Pro Rata Share of any payment to which all

133

Lenders are entitled, the Loans held by an Affiliated Lender shall be disregarded in both the numerator and denominator in the calculation of any Lender vote; and

(C) if a case under Title 11 of the United States Code is commenced against any Credit Party, such Credit Party shall seek (and each Affiliated Lender shall consent) to provide that the vote of any Affiliated Lender (in its capacity as a Lender) with respect to any plan of reorganization of such Credit Party shall not be counted except that such Affiliated Lender’s vote (in its capacity as a Lender) may be counted to the extent any such plan of reorganization proposes to treat the Obligations held by such Affiliated Lender in a manner that is less favorable to such Affiliated Lender than the proposed treatment of similar Obligations held by Lenders that are not Affiliates of the Borrower; each Affiliated Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as such Affiliated Lender’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Affiliated Lender and in the name of such Affiliated Lender (solely in respect of Loans and participations therein and not in respect of any other claim or status such Affiliated Lender may otherwise have), from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this clause (C); and

(ii) the aggregate amount of Commitments or Loans held at any one time by Affiliated Lenders may not exceed 20% of all Commitments or Loans in effect at such time.

For avoidance of doubt, the foregoing limitations shall not be applicable to Affiliated Institutional Lenders.

(i) Each Issuing Bank, with the written consent of the Lead Borrower, may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (other than any Affiliated Lender) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the undrawn portion of its commitment to issue Letters of Credit hereunder; provided, however, that (i) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee and (ii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500.

(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time JPMorgan Chase assigns all of its Commitment and Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 13.6(b), JPMorgan Chase may, (i) upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrowers and the Lenders, resign as Issuing Bank and/or (ii) upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrowers, resign as Swingline Lender. In the event of any such resignation as Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, the Borrowers shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrowers to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of JPMorgan Chase as Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, as the case may be. If JPMorgan Chase resigns as Issuing Bank, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the Issuing Bank hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as Issuing Bank and all Letter of Credit Outstandings with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make ABR Advances or fund risk participations in Letter of Credit Disbursements pursuant to Section 2.15(g). If JPMorgan Chase resigns as Swingline Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swingline Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swingline Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make ABR Advances or fund risk participations in outstanding Swingline Loans pursuant to Sections 2.16 and 2.17. Upon the appointment of a successor Issuing Bank and/or Swingline Lender, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of

134

the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, and (b) the successor Issuing Bank shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession (and the Letters of Credit being issued in substitution shall not be considered outstanding for purposes of determining Excess Availability until substituted for the relevant Letters of Credit issued by JPMorgan Chase) or make other arrangements satisfactory to JPMorgan Chase to effectively assume the obligations of JPMorgan Chase with respect to such Letters of Credit.

SECTION 13.7 Replacements of Lenders Under Certain Circumstances.

(a) The Borrowers shall be permitted to replace any Lender that (a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.10 or 5.4 or (b) is affected in the manner described in Section 2.10(a)(iii) and as a result thereof any of the actions described in such Section is required to be taken, with a replacement bank or other financial institution, provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default under Section 11.1 or 11.5 shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) the Borrowers shall repay (or the replacement bank or institution shall purchase, at par) all Loans, accrued interest and fees and other amounts, pursuant to Section 2.10, 2.11 or 5.4, as the case may be, owing to such replaced Lender prior to the date of replacement or, in the case of Section 2.11, arising as a consequence of such 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 13.6 (provided that the Borrowers 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 Borrowers, 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 13.1 requires the consent of either (i) all of the Lenders affected or (ii) all of the Lenders, and, in each case, with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent, then provided no Event of Default then exists, the Borrowers 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 Borrowers 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 and (c) the Borrowers shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender the amount, if any, owing to such Lender pursuant to clause (c) in Section 5.1(a) or Section 2.11. In connection with any such assignment, the Borrowers, Administrative Agent, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 13.6.

SECTION 13.8 Adjustments; Set-off.

(a) Except as contemplated in Section 13.6(h), if any Lender (a “benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Loans, or interest thereon, 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 11.5, 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 purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Loan, or shall provide such other Lenders with the

135

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 with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that 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.

(b) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to any Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by any Borrower hereunder (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 any Borrower. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrowers 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.

SECTION 13.9 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), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.

SECTION 13.10 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.

SECTION 13.11 Integration. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents represent the agreement of the Borrowers, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent nor any Lender relative to subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Credit Documents.

SECTION 13.17 Direct Website Communications.

(a) The Borrowers may, at their option, provide to the Administrative Agent any information, documents and other materials that they are obligated to furnish to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Credit Documents, including, without limitation, all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such communication that (A) relates to a request for a new, or a conversion of an existing, borrowing or other extension of credit (including any election of an interest rate or interest period relating thereto), (B) relates to the payment of any principal or other amount due under this Agreement prior to the scheduled date therefor, (C) provides notice of any default or event of default under this Agreement or (D) is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement and/or any borrowing or other extension of credit thereunder (all such non-excluded communications being referred to herein collectively as “Communications”), by transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium in a format reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent to the Administrative Agent at an email address provided by the Administrative Agent from time to time; provided that (i) upon written request by the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall deliver paper copies of such documents to the Administrative Agent for further distribution to each Lender until a written request to cease delivering paper copies is given by the Administrative Agent and (ii) the Borrowers shall notify (which may be by facsimile or electronic mail) the Administrative Agent of the posting of any such documents and provide to the Administrative Agent by electronic mail electronic versions (i.e., soft copies) of such documents. 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 13.17 shall prejudice the right of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, any other Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Credit Document in any other manner specified in such Credit Document.

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 Credit 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 Credit 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.

(b) Each Borrower further agrees that any Agent may make the Communications available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on Intralinks or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”), so long as the access to such Platform (i) is limited to the Agents, the Lenders and Transferees or prospective Transferees and (ii) remains subject to the confidentiality requirements set forth in Section 13.16.

(c) THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS. 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

139

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

(d) Each 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 Borrowers, their Subsidiaries or their securities) and, if documents or notices required to be delivered pursuant to the Credit Documents or otherwise are being distributed through the Platform, any document or notice that the Borrowers have indicated contains only publicly available information with respect to the Borrowers may be posted on that portion of the Platform designated for such public-side Lenders. If the Borrowers have 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 Borrowers, their Subsidiaries and their securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to indicate whether any document or notice contains only publicly available information.

SECTION 13.18 USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender hereby notifies each 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 Credit Party, which information includes the name and address of each Credit Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify each Credit Party in accordance with the Patriot Act.

SECTION 13.19 Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Credit Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of the Borrowers in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the other Credit Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers in the Agreement Currency, the Borrowers agree, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or the Person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent in such currency, the Administrative Agent agrees to return the amount of any excess to the Borrowers (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).

SECTION 13.20 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower is made to any Agent or any Lender, or any Agent or any Lender exercises its right of

140

setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by any Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect.

SECTION 13.21 Joint and Several Liability. All Loans, upon funding, shall be deemed to be jointly funded to and received by the Borrowers. Each Borrower is jointly and severally liable under this Agreement for all Obligations, regardless of the manner or amount in which proceeds of Loans are used, allocated, shared or disbursed by or among the Borrowers themselves, or the manner in which an Agent and/or any Lender accounts for such Loans or other extensions of credit on its books and records. Each Borrower shall be liable for all amounts due to an Agent and/or any Lender from the Borrowers under this Agreement, regardless of which Borrower actually receives Loans or other extensions of credit hereunder or the amount of such Loans and extensions of credit received or the manner in which such Agent and/or such Lender accounts for such Loans or other extensions of credit on its books and records. Each Borrower’s Obligations with respect to Loans and other extensions of credit made to it, and such Borrower’s Obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of such Borrower hereunder with respect to Loans made to, and Letters of Credit issued for the account of, the other Borrowers hereunder shall be separate and distinct obligations, but all such Obligations shall be primary obligations of such Borrower. The Borrowers acknowledge and expressly agree with the Agents and each Lender that the joint and several liability of each Borrower is required solely as a condition to, and is given solely as inducement for and in consideration of, credit or accommodations extended or to be extended under the Credit Documents to any or all of the other Borrowers and is not required or given as a condition of extensions of credit to such Borrower. Each Borrower’s Obligations under this Agreement shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be unconditional irrespective of (i) the validity or enforceability, avoidance, or subordination of the Obligations of any other Borrower or of any promissory note or other document evidencing all or any part of the Obligations of any other Borrower, (ii) the absence of any attempt to collect the Obligations from any other Borrower, or any other security therefor, or the absence of any other action to enforce the same, (iii) the waiver, consent, extension, forbearance, or granting of any indulgence by an Agent and/or any Lender with respect to any provision of any instrument evidencing the Obligations of any other Borrower, or any part thereof, or any other agreement executed as of the Closing Date or thereafter executed by any other Borrower and delivered to an Agent and/or any Lender, (iv) the failure by an Agent and/or any Lender to take any steps to perfect and maintain its security interest in, or to preserve its rights to, any security or collateral for the Obligations of any other Borrower, (v) an Agent’s and/or any Lender’s election, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, (vi) any borrowing or grant of a security interest by any other Borrower, as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code, (vii) the disallowance of all or any portion of an Agent’s and/or any Lender’s claim(s) for the repayment of the Obligations of any other Borrower under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, or (viii) any other circumstances which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor or of any other Borrower. With respect to any Borrower’s Obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of the Borrowers hereunder with respect to any Loans or other extensions of credit made to any of the other Borrowers hereunder, such Borrower waives, until the Obligations shall have been paid in full and this Agreement shall have been terminated, any right to enforce any right of subrogation or any remedy which an Agent and/or any Lender had as of the Closing Date or may have thereafter against any other Borrower, any endorser or any guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations,

141

and any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to an Agent and/or any Lender to secure payment of the Obligations or any other liability of any Borrower to an Agent and/or any Lender. Upon any Event of Default, the Agents may proceed directly and at once, without notice, against any Borrower to collect and recover the full amount, or any portion of the Obligations, without first proceeding against any other Borrower or any other Person, or against any security or collateral for the Obligations. Each Borrower consents and agrees that the Agents shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Borrower or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, none of the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.21 shall apply to any Person released from its Obligations as a Borrower in accordance herewith.

SECTION 13.22 Contribution and Indemnification Among Borrowers. Each Borrower is obligated to repay the Obligations as a joint and several obligor under this Agreement. To the extent that any Borrower shall, under this Agreement as a joint and several obligor, repay any of the Obligations constituting Loans made to another Borrower hereunder or other Obligations incurred directly and primarily by any other Borrower (an “Accommodation Payment”), then the Borrower making such Accommodation Payment shall be entitled to contribution and indemnification from, and be reimbursed by, each of the other Borrowers in an amount, for each of such other Borrowers, equal to a fraction of such Accommodation Payment, the numerator of which fraction is such other Borrower’s Allocable Amount (as defined below) and the denominator of which is the sum of the Allocable Amounts of all of the Borrowers. As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of each Borrower shall be equal to the maximum amount of liability for Accommodation Payments which could be asserted against such Borrower hereunder without (a) rendering such Borrower “insolvent” within the meaning of Section 101(31) of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act (“UFTA”) or Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act (“UFCA”), (b) leaving such Borrower with unreasonably small capital or assets, within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 4 of the UFTA, or Section 5 of the UFCA, or (c) leaving such Borrower unable to pay its debts as they become due within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or Section 4 of the UFTA, or Section 5 of the UFCA. All rights and claims of contribution, indemnification, and reimbursement under this Section shall be subordinate in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the Obligations. The provisions of this Section shall, to the extent expressly inconsistent with any provision in any Credit Document, supersede such inconsistent provision.

SECTION 13.23 Agency of the Lead Borrower for Each Other Borrower. Each of the other Borrowers irrevocably appoints the Lead Borrower as its agent for all purposes relevant to this Agreement, including the giving and receipt of notices and execution and delivery of all documents, instruments, and certificates contemplated herein (including, without limitation, execution and delivery to the Agents of Borrowing Base Certificates, Notices of Borrowing and other requests for any Credit Extension and Notices of Conversion or Continuation) and all modifications hereto. Any acknowledgment, consent, direction, certification, or other action which might otherwise be valid or effective only if given or taken by all or any of the Borrowers or acting singly, shall be valid and effective if given or taken only by the Lead Borrower, whether or not any of the other Borrowers join therein, and the Agents and the Lenders shall have no duty or obligation to make further inquiry with respect to the authority of the Lead Borrower under this Section 13.23; provided that nothing in this Section 13.23 shall limit the effectiveness of, or the right of the Agents and the Lenders to rely upon, any notice (including without limitation a Borrowing Request or other request for any Credit Event or Notices of Conversion or Continuation), document, instrument, certificate, acknowledgment, consent, direction, certification or other action delivered by any Borrower pursuant to this Agreement.

SECTION 13.24 Reinstatement. This Agreement shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Obligations is

142

rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Lead Borrower or any other Borrower, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any Borrower or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

SECTION 13.25 Express Waivers by Borrowers in Respect of Cross Guaranties and Cross Collateralization. Each Borrower agrees as follows:

(a) Each Borrower hereby waives: (i) notice of acceptance of this Agreement; (ii) notice of the making of any Loans, the issuance of any Letter of Credit or any other financial accommodations made or extended under the Credit Documents or the creation or existence of any Obligations; (iii) notice of the amount of the Obligations, subject, however, to such Borrower’s right to make inquiry of the Administrative Agent to ascertain the amount of the Obligations at any reasonable time; (iv) notice of any adverse change in the financial condition of any other Borrower or of any other fact that might increase such Borrower’s risk with respect to such other Borrower under the Credit Documents; (v) notice of presentment for payment, demand, protest, and notice thereof as to any promissory notes or other instruments among the Credit Documents; and (vii) all other notices (except if such notice is specifically required to be given to such Borrower hereunder or under any of the other Credit Documents to which such Borrower is a party) and demands to which such Borrower might otherwise be entitled;

(b) Each Borrower hereby waives the right by statute or otherwise to require an Agent or any Lender Party to institute suit against any other Borrower or to exhaust any rights and remedies which an Agent or any Lender Party has or may have against any other Borrower. Each Borrower further waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any other Borrower (other than the defense of payment in full) or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of any such Borrower in respect thereof;

(c) Each Borrower hereby waives and agrees not to assert against any Agent, or any Lender Party: (i) any defense (legal or equitable) other than a defense of payment, set-off, counterclaim, or claim which such Borrower may have had as of the Closing Date or may have at any time thereafter against any other Borrower or any other party liable under the Credit Documents; (ii) any defense, set-off, counterclaim, or claim of any kind or nature available to any other Borrower (other than a defense of payment) against any Agent, any Lender, or any Letter of Credit Issuer, arising directly or indirectly from the present or future lack of perfection, sufficiency, validity, or enforceability of the Obligations or any security therefor; (iii) any right or defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by any Agent or any Lender Party under any applicable law; (iv) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting any other Borrower’s liability hereunder;

(d) Each Borrower consents and agrees that, without notice to or by such Borrower and without affecting or impairing the obligations of such Borrower hereunder, the Agents may (subject to any requirement for consent of any of the Lenders to the extent required by this Agreement), by action or inaction: (i) compromise, settle, extend the duration or the time for the payment of, or discharge the performance of, or may refuse to or otherwise not enforce any Credit Document; (ii) release all or any one or more parties to any one or more of the Credit Documents or grant other indulgences to any other Borrower in respect thereof; (iii) amend or modify in any manner and at any time (or from time to time) any of the of the Credit Documents; or (iv) release or substitute any Person liable for payment of the Obligations, or enforce, exchange, release, or waive any security for the Obligations; and

143

(e) Each Borrower represents and warrants to the Agents and the Lenders that such Borrower is currently informed of the financial condition of all other Borrowers and all other circumstances which a diligent inquiry would reveal and which bear upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations. Each Borrower further represents and warrants that such Borrower has read and understands the terms and conditions of the Credit Documents. Each Borrower agrees that neither the Agents nor any Lender Party has any responsibility to inform any Borrower of the financial condition of any other Borrower or of any other circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment or nonperformance of the Obligations.
