If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(d)        Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e)        If an Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing is not timely delivered prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is

-29-

continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

SECTION 2.08      Termination of Commitments. The Commitments shall terminate and be automatically and permanently reduced $0 upon the funding of the Loans on the Closing Date.

SECTION 2.09      Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a)        The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Loan of such Lender as provided in Section 2.10.

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

(c)        The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d)        The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender, the Lender Representative or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, further that in the event of any conflict between the records maintained by any Lender and the records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

(e)        Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by such Lender.

SECTION 2.10    Maturity Date. To the extent not previously paid, all Loans shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.

SECTION 2.11    Prepayment of Loans.

(a)        The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to the requirements of this Section.

(b)        In the event that all or any portion of the Loans is repaid or prepaid for any reason (including as a result of any mandatory prepayments, voluntary prepayments, payments made following acceleration of the Loans or after an Event of Default), such repayments or prepayments will be made

-30-

together with a premium equal to 5.00% of the amount repaid or prepaid, if such repayment or prepayment occurs prior July 1, 2021 (the foregoing premium, the “Prepayment Premium”); provided that, with respect to any Lender, in the case of any prepayment of the Loans of such Lender from the proceeds of an issuance of Indebtedness, which Indebtedness shall have the same or greater economics as the Second Lien Term Loan Facility and shall have substantially similar terms (other than with respect to maturity), in which such Lender participates as a lender, the prepayment premium applicable to the Loans of such Lender prepaid with such proceeds shall be zero. If the Loans are accelerated or otherwise become due prior to their maturity date, in each case, as a result of an Event of Default (including upon the occurrence of a bankruptcy or insolvency event (including the acceleration of claims by operation of law)), the amount of principal of and premium on the Loans that becomes due and payable shall equal 100% of the principal amount of the Loans plus the Prepayment Premium in effect on the date of such acceleration or such other prior due date, as if such acceleration or other occurrence were a voluntary prepayment of the Loans accelerated or otherwise becoming due. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that if the Loans are accelerated or otherwise become due prior to their maturity date, in each case, in respect of any Event of Default (including upon the occurrence of a bankruptcy or insolvency event (including the acceleration of claims by operation of law)), the Prepayment Premium applicable with respect to a voluntary prepayment of the Loans will also be due and payable on the date of such acceleration or such other prior due date as though the Loans were voluntarily prepaid as of such date and shall constitute part of the Obligations, in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of each Lender’s loss as a result thereof. Any premium payable above shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by each Lender and the Borrower agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. THE BORROWER EXPRESSLY WAIVES (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE PREPAYMENT PREMIUM IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION. The Borrower expressly agrees (to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so) that: (A) the Prepayment Premium is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (B) the Prepayment Premium shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (C) there has been a course of conduct between the Lenders and the Borrower giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Prepayment Premium; and (D) the Borrower shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph.

(c)        In the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Subsidiary in respect of any Prepayment Event, the Borrower shall, within three Business Days after such Net Proceeds are received (and, in the case of any event described in clause (e) of the definition of the term Prepayment Event, on the date on which such Net Proceeds are received) prepay Borrowings of Loans in an aggregate amount equal to (x) in the case of any Prepayment Event (other than any event described in clause (d) of the definition of the term Prepayment Event), 100% of such Net Proceeds (provided that in the case of any Prepayment Event described in clause (a) of the definition of Prepayment Event, 100% of such Net Proceeds up to $100,000,000, and then 100% of such Net Proceeds to the extent Net Proceeds from all such events exceed $115,000,000) and (y) in the case of any event described in clause (d) of the definition of the term Prepayment Event, the Equity Contribution Percentage of such Net Proceeds. Any required prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.11(c) as a result of a Prepayment Event described in clauses (a) thereof shall be without duplication of any repayment of the Loans made pursuant to Section 2.10(b) from the Net Proceeds of sales or dispositions permitted under Section 6.05(j).

(d)        Following the end of each fiscal year of the Borrower, commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019, the Borrower shall prepay Borrowings of Loans in an aggregate amount equal to the excess of (i) the ECF Percentage of Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year over (ii)

-31-

the sum of aggregate amount of optional prepayments of Loans and purchases of Loans pursuant to Section 10.04(h) (other than optional prepayments or purchases made with the proceeds of Long-Term Indebtedness) made by the Borrower during such fiscal year (provided that the aggregate amount of any such prepayment or purchase shall be the amount of the Borrower’s cash payment in respect of such purchase). Each prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.11(d) shall be made within 95 days after the end of such fiscal year; provided that, in the case of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019, if on such date for prepayment, after giving effect to such prepayment, the “Required Conditions Test” (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement as in effect as of the Closing Date) would not be satisfied, then the prepayment for such fiscal year shall be made on the earlier to occur of (i) the first date that the Required Conditions Test can be satisfied after giving effect to such prepayment and (ii) July 1, 2020. Notwithstanding the foregoing requirements of this Section 2.11(d), (i) with respect to the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019, the Borrower shall not be required to make a prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.11(d) for such fiscal year to the extent that after giving effect to such prepayment, Liquidity of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries would be less than $30,000,000, and (ii) with respect to the fiscal year ending fiscal year ending December 31, 2020, the Borrower shall not be required to make a prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.11(d) for such fiscal year to the extent that after giving effect to such prepayment, Liquidity of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries would be less than $15,000,000.

(e)        Prior to any optional or mandatory prepayment of Borrowings hereunder, the Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and shall specify such selection in the notice of such prepayment pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section.

(f)        The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing by (x) in the case of prepayment of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment and (y) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment. Each such written notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) whether the prepayment is of Eurocurrency Loans or ABR Loans, (ii) the prepayment date, (iii) the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and (iv) in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13.

(g)        Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.11 to the contrary, until the Discharge of Senior Obligations, no mandatory prepayment that would otherwise be required to be made under Section 2.11(c) or (d) shall be required to be made, except with respect to the portion (if any) of the proceeds of any event giving rise to any mandatory prepayment under Section 2.11 of the First Lien Credit Agreement that have been declined or waived by the First Lien Term Loan Lenders (which such portion shall be applied pursuant to this Section 2.11 within five (5) Business Days after the First Lien Term Loan Lenders shall have declined or waived such payment).

SECTION 2.12      Fees.

(a)        Without duplication of any other fees set forth in this Agreement, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts set forth in the Agent Fee Letter at the times and in the manner set forth therein.

-32-

(b)        All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

SECTION 2.13      Interest.

(a)        The Company may, at its option, elect to pay interest on the Loans (i) entirely in cash (“Cash Interest”) or (ii) entirely by increasing the outstanding principal amount of the Loans by the amount of interest accrued thereon during the applicable period (“PIK Interest”). To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.13(a), the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election in writing by delivery to the Administrative Agent, of an executed Cash Election Request by 12.00 p.m. (New York time) at least six Business Days prior to each Interest Payment Date indicating the form of payment of interest in respect of the Loans on such Interest Payment Date; provided that (i) all interest payable on the first Interest Payment Date to occur after the Closing Date shall be paid in kind and (ii) unless the Borrower shall have delivered a Cash Interest Request pursuant to this paragraph it shall be deemed to have elected to pay interest in the form of PIK Interest. PIK Interest shall be payable by automatically being added to, and made part of, the outstanding principal amount of the Loans by the amount of PIK Interest for such Interest Payment Date. Any interest so added to the principal amount of Loans shall bear interest as provided in this Section 2.13 from the date on which such interest has been so added. Unless the context otherwise requires, for all purposes hereof, references to “principal amount” of the Loans refers to the face amount of the Loans and not gross proceeds funded hereunder and includes any interest so capitalized and added to the principal amount of the Loans from the date on which such interest has been so added.

(b) (i)     The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to (A) in the case of Cash Interest, the sum of the Alternate Base Rate plus 9.50% per annum, and (B) in the case of PIK Interest, the sum of the Alternate Base Rate plus 10.50% per annum.

(ii)        The Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to (A) in the case of Cash Interest, the sum of the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus 10.50% per annum, and (B) in the case of PIK Interest, the sum of the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus 11.50% per annum.

(c)        Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the principal amount of all Loans outstanding and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest payments on the Loans or any fees or other amounts owed hereunder, shall thereafter, after as well as before judgment, bear interest payable on demand at a rate that is 2.00% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder with respect to the applicable Loans (or, in the case of any such fees and other amounts, at a rate which is 2.00% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder for ABR Loans); provided that in the case of Eurocurrency Loans, upon the expiration of the Interest Period in effect at the time any such increase in interest rate is effective such Eurocurrency Loans shall thereupon become ABR Loans and shall thereafter bear interest payable upon demand at a rate which is 2.00% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder for ABR Loans. Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section 2.13(d) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

(d)        Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and

-33-

(iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

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

SECTION 2.14      Alternate Rate of Interest.

(a)        If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing:

(i)    the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means (including by means of an Interpolated Rate or because the Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis) do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate or the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or

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

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and such Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, then (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be ineffective, (ii) any Eurocurrency Borrowing that is requested to be continued, shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, and (iii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurocurrency Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.

(b)        If any Lender determines that any Applicable Law has made it unlawful, or if any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain, fund or continue any Eurocurrency Borrowing, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligations of such Lender to make, maintain, fund or continue Eurocurrency Loans will be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in writing that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower will upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), either convert or prepay all Eurocurrency Borrowings of such Lender to ABR Borrowings, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Borrowings to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans. Upon any such conversion or prepayment, the Borrower will also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted or prepaid.

-34-

(c)        If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances set forth in clause (b) above have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (ii) the circumstances set forth in clause (b) above have not arisen but the supervisor for the administrator of the Eurocurrency or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Required Lenders has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the Adjusted LIBO Rate shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to the Adjusted LIBO Rate that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable (but for the avoidance of doubt, such related changes shall not include a reduction of the applicable margin); provided that, if such alternate rate of interest as so determined would be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement. Such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date notice of such alternate rate of interest is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Required Lenders object to such amendment.

SECTION 2.15      Increased Costs.

(a)        If any Change in Law shall:

(i)    impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate);

(ii)    impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender; or

(iii)    subject any Lender to any Taxes on its loans, loan principal, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes otherwise indemnifiable under Section 2.17 and (B) Excluded Taxes);

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b)        If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c)        A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of

-35-

this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d)        Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 2.16      Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, or (d) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurocurrency Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in the applicable currency of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the Eurocurrency market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.17      Taxes.

(a)        Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes; provided that if the Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent or the Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

(b)        In addition, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

(c)        The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 10 Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes paid by the

-36-

Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower, hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)        As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Lender Representative.

(e)        Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent for any Taxes (but, in the case of any Indemnified Taxes, only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting or expanding the obligation of the Borrower to do so) attributable to such Lender that are paid or payable by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The indemnity under this Section shall be paid within 10 days after the Administrative Agent delivers to the applicable Lender a certificate stating the amount of Taxes so paid or payable by the Administrative Agent. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error.

(f)        Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, any applicable withholding Tax with respect to any payments under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding, or at a reduced rate of, withholding. If any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect with respect to a Lender, such Lender shall promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days after such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy) notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy and update the form or certification if it is legally eligible to do so.

(i)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Lender shall, to the extent it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies reasonably requested by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party hereto, duly completed and executed copies of whichever of the following is applicable:

(A)        in the case of a Lender that is a U.S. Person, IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax;

(B)        in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (1) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (2) with respect to any other applicable payments under this Agreement, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S.

-37-

Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(C)        in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender for whom payments under this Agreement constitute income that is effectively connected with such Lender’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States, IRS Form W-8ECI;

(D)        in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code both (1) IRS Form W-8BEN-E or W-8BEN and (2) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E (a “U.S. Tax Certificate”) to the effect that such Lender is not (a) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (b) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code (c) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code or (d) conducting a trade or business in the United States with which the relevant interest payments are effectively connected;

(E)        in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that is not the beneficial owner of payments made under this Agreement (including a partnership or a participating Lender) (1) an IRS Form W-8IMY on behalf of itself and (2) the relevant forms prescribed in clauses (A), (B), (C), (D) and (F) of this paragraph (f) that would be required of each such beneficial owner or partner of such partnership if such beneficial owner or partner were a Lender; provided, however, that if the Lender is a partnership and one or more of its partners are claiming the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, such Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Certificate on behalf of such partners; or

(F)        any other form prescribed by law as a basis for claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax together with such supplementary documentation necessary to enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the amount of Tax (if any) required by law to be withheld.

(ii)    Each Lender shall deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA and, as necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.17(f)(ii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(g)        If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes (including additional amounts paid pursuant to this Section 2.17), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, agrees to repay to such indemnified party the amount paid to such indemnified party pursuant to the previous sentence (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority)

-38-

in the event such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Nothing contained in this Section 2.17(g) shall require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h)        For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) the Loan Documents as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).

SECTION 2.18      Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.

(a)        The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest or fees, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise), on or before the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made by wire transfer to the Administrative Agent’s Account, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 10.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder and under each other Loan Document, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise shall be made in dollars.

(b)        If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.

(c)        If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and

-39-

agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under Applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(d)        Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment hereunder is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may (but shall be under no obligation to), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment due to the Administrative Agent, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(e)        If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.06(b), 2.18(d) or 10.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

SECTION 2.19      Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a)        If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b)        If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon written notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee selected by the Borrower that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a material reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise,

-40-

the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Each party hereto agrees that an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee, and that the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto in order for such assignment to be effective; provided, that, such assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire, a properly completed and duly executed copy of IRS Form W-9 (or other applicable tax form) and all other documentation and other information required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the Patriot Act.

ARTICLE VIII

The Agents

Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent (it being understood that references in this Article VIII to the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to include the Collateral Agent) as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.02); provided, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or in the opinion of its counsel, could expose the Administrative

-70-

Agent to liability or be contrary to any Loan Document or any requirement of Applicable Law, and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.02) and the Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, that, no action taken or not taken at the direction of the Required Lenders shall be considered gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof conspicuously labeled as a “notice of default” is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the Borrower and Administrative Agent and signed by the Required Lenders. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor from among the Lenders, which consultation shall not be required after and during the continuation of an Event of Default. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall be under no obligation to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring

-71-

Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder; provided, that, Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nonetheless become effective within thirty (30) days after the Administrative Agent provides notices of its resignations to the Lenders and the Borrower. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

SECTION 10.02    Waivers; Amendments.

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

(b)        Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) or, in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, in each case with the written consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone the maturity of any Loan, or any scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan under Section 2.10, or any date for the payment of any interest or fees payable hereunder, or reduce or forgive the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.18(a), (b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, (v) change the percentage set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document (including this Section) specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender, (vi) release all or substantially all of the Subsidiary Loan Parties from their Guarantees under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (except as expressly provided in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement), without the written consent of each Lender, (vii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents, without the written consent of each Lender (except as expressly provided in the Security Documents) or (viii) change the order of priority of payments set forth in Section 2.4 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement without the written consent of each Lender; provided, further, that (A) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Agents, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any provision of this Agreement may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower, the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent if (i) by the terms of such agreement the Commitment of each Lender not consenting to the amendment provided for therein shall terminate upon the effectiveness of such amendment and (ii) at the time such amendment becomes effective, each Lender not consenting thereto receives payment in full of the principal of and interest accrued on each Loan made by it and all other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement.

-73-

(c)        In connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination (a “Proposed Change”) requiring the consent of all Lenders or all affected Lenders, if the consent of the Required Lenders to such Proposed Change is obtained, but the consent to such Proposed Change of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in paragraph (b) of this Section being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, so long as the Lender Representative is not a Non-Consenting Lender, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Non-Consenting Lender and the Lender Representative, require such Non-Consenting Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that (a) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Lender Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, (b) such Non-Consenting Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (c) the Borrower or such assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in Section 10.04(b), (d) such assignee shall consent to such Proposed Change and (e) if such Non-Consenting Lender is acting as the Lender Representative, it will not be required to assign and delegate its interests, rights and obligations as the Lender Representative under this Agreement. Each party hereto agrees that an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee, and that the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto in order for such assignment to be effective; provided, that, such assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire, a properly completed and duly executed copy of IRS Form W-9 (or other applicable tax form) and all other documentation and other information required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the Patriot Act

(b)        The Borrower hereby indemnifies (x) the Agents and each of its Related Parties (each such person being called an “Agent Indemnitee”) and (y) the Arrangers and each Lender, and each Related Party of any Arranger or Lender (each such person being called a “Lender Indemnitee”; and together with the Agent Indemnitees, each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties to the Loan Documents of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on or from any Mortgaged Property or any other property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, and whether or not the same are brought by the Borrower, its equity holders, affiliates or creditors or any other Person and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (A) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (B) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have arisen out of a material breach in bad faith by such Lender Indemnitee of its obligations under the Loan Documents or (C) result from a dispute solely among Indemnitees, other than any claims against an Indemnitee in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as an agent or arranger under the Loan Documents and other than any claims arising out of any act or omission of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates. This Section 10.03(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.

(c)        To the extent that any of the Borrower fails to timely pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 10.03 (and without limiting such party’s obligation to do so), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of any such actual and direct losses (other than lost profits), claims, damages, liabilities and related reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including any such amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender); provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments at the time; ;provided, that, if the Loans have been paid in full prior to such determination, then such pro rata share shall be determined as of the last date that any Loan was outstanding.

(d)        To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

-75-

(e)        All amounts due under this Section 10.03 shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor.

(f)        No director, officer, employee, stockholder or member, as such, of any Loan Party shall have any liability for the Obligations or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of the Obligations or their creation; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to relieve any Loan Party of its Obligations under any Loan Document.

(g)        For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 10.03 shall not apply to any Taxes, except to the extent any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising from any non-Tax claim.

SECTION 10.04    Successors and Assigns.

(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 the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b)        Any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (other than a natural person) 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); provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, a Lender Affiliate or an Approved Fund, each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent must give their prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any assignment of Loans or Commitments unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within seven Business Days after having received notice thereof), (ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, a Lender Affiliate or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, (iii) 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, (iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 and (v) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire a properly completed and duly executed copy of IRS Form W-9 (or other applicable tax form) and all other documentation and other information required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the Patriot Act; and provided, further, that any consent of the Borrower otherwise required under this paragraph shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case

-76-

of an Assignment and Assumption 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 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 10.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (e) of this Section.

(c)        The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive (absent manifest error), and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior written notice.

(d)        Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire, a properly completed and duly executed copy of IRS Form W-9 (or other applicable tax form) and all other documentation and other information required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the Patriot Act (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(e)        Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents; 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 clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (vi) or (vii) of the first proviso to Section 10.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (f) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 (subject to the limitations and requirements therein, including the requirements under Section 2.17(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.17(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section, provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.19 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender. With respect to any Loan made to the Borrower, each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant

-77-

and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations or in connection with any income tax audit or other income tax proceeding of the Borrower. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(f)        A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or 2.17 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 prior written consent of the Borrower. A Participant that would be a Non-U.S. Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower to comply with Section 2.17(f) as though it were a Lender.

(g)        Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 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.

(h)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no assignments of the Loans shall be made to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof.

SECTION 10.05    Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 10.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

SECTION 10.06    Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received

-78-

counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 10.07    Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 10.08    Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

SECTION 10.09    Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

(a)        This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

(b)        The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c)        The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(d)        Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.01. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

-79-

SECTION 10.10    WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

SECTION 10.11    Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 10.12    Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Lender Affiliates and to its and its Lender Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential pursuant to the terms hereof), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory or quasi-regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by Applicable Laws or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower, (h) to the extent such Information (i) is publicly available at the time of disclosure or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or any Subsidiary or (i) to data service providers, including league table providers, that serve the lending industry, so long as such information consists of information customarily provided to such data service providers. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any Subsidiary; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary after the Closing Date, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

SECTION 10.13    Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under Applicable Law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with Applicable Law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect

-80-

thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

SECTION 10.14    Intercreditor Agreements. Each Lender hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent (a) to enter into each Intercreditor Agreement on its behalf, perform such Intercreditor Agreement on its behalf and take any actions thereunder as determined by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to be necessary or advisable to protect the interest of the Lenders, and each Lender agrees to be bound by the terms of such Intercreditor Agreement and (b) to enter into any other intercreditor agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent on its behalf, perform such intercreditor agreement on its behalf and take any actions thereunder as determined by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to be necessary or advisable to protect the interests of the Lenders, and each Lender agrees to be bound by the terms of such intercreditor agreement. Each Lender acknowledges that (i) the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement governs, among other things, Lien priorities and rights of the Lenders and the other “Term Secured Parties” and the “ABL Secured Parties” (each as defined in the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement) with respect to the Collateral and (ii) the Term Intercreditor Agreement governs, among other things, Lien priorities and rights of the Lenders and the “First Lien Secured Parties” (as defined in the Term Intercreditor Agreement) with respect to the Collateral. In the event of any inconsistency between any Loan Document and any Intercreditor Agreement, the provision of the applicable Intercreditor Agreement shall prevail.

SECTION 10.15    Release of Liens and Guarantees. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the Collateral Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Lender (without requirement of notice to or consent of any Lender except as expressly required by Section 10.02) to take any action requested by the Borrower having the effect of releasing any Collateral or guarantee obligations (i) to the extent necessary to permit consummation of any transaction not prohibited by any Loan Document or that has been consented to in accordance with Section 10.02 or (ii) under the circumstances described in paragraph (b) below. (b) At such time as the Loans and the other obligations under the Loan Documents shall have been paid in full and the Commitments have been terminated, the Collateral shall be released from the Liens created by the Security Documents, and the Security Documents and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Collateral Agent and each Loan Party under the Security Documents shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any Person, the security interests in such Collateral created by the Security Documents shall be automatically released without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any Person. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, such certificate, believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person.

(c)        In connection with any termination or release pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to any Loan Party all documents that such Loan Party shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent.

SECTION 10.16    PATRIOT Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “PATRIOT Act”), it is required, or will be required in the future, to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower and the other Loan Parties, which information includes the

-81-

name and address of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower and the other Loan Parties in accordance with the PATRIOT Act.

SECTION 10.17    No Fiduciary Duty. Each Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrower, its stockholders and/or its affiliates. The Borrower agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and the Borrower, its stockholders or its affiliates, on the other. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and there under) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Borrower, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower, its stockholders or its affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise the Borrower, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to the Borrower except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (y) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of the Borrower, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. The Borrower agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to such borrower, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

SECTION 10.18    Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a)        the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

(b)        the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i)        a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii)        a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(iii)        the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

SECTION 10.19    Warrants and Preferred Shares. The Borrower, the other Loan Parties and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Closing Date Warrants and the Closing Date Preferred

-82-

Shares shall be treated as part of an “investment unit” as defined in Section 1273(c)(2) of the Code. In furtherance of such treatment, the parties further agree that the Second Lien Term Loan Facilities will be issued with original issue discount for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and the “issue price” for U.S. federal income tax purposes of the Second Lien Term Loan Facilities, the Closing Date Warrants and the Closing Date Preferred Shares shall be allocated between the Second Lien Term Loan Facilities, the Closing Date Warrants and the Closing Date Preferred Shares in accordance with the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations based on the assumption that the fair market value of the Closing Date Warrants and the Closing Date Preferred Shares shall each be as determined by the Lender Representative.

(f)        no such Foreign Domiciled Grantors shall be required to guarantee or grant Liens to secure the Obligations to the extent that providing such guarantee or Liens would result in material adverse tax

consequences to a Grantor or a Subsidiary of a Grantor, as reasonably determined by Borrower in consultation with the Lender Representative; and

ARTICLE II

GUARANTEE

2.1        Guarantee. (a) Each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance by the Loan Parties when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Primary Obligations of the Loan Parties.

(b)  Anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by such Guarantor under applicable federal and state laws relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers or the insolvency of debtors (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 2.2).

(c)  Each Guarantor agrees that the Primary Obligations of the Loan Parties may at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder without impairing the guarantee contained in this Article II or affecting the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder.

(d)  The guarantee contained in this Article II shall remain in full force and effect until all the Primary Obligations of the Loan Parties (other than contingent obligations, indemnification, expense reimbursement, tax gross-up or yield protection as to which no claim has been made) and the obligations of each Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Article II shall have been satisfied by payment in full and the Commitments shall be terminated, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of the Credit Agreement the Loan Parties may be free from any Primary Obligations.

(e)  No payment made by the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender from the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Primary Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by such Guarantor in respect of the Primary Obligations of the Loan Parties or any payment received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of the Primary Obligations of the Loan Parties), remain liable for the Primary Obligations of the Loan Parties up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder until the Primary Obligations of the Loan Parties (other than contingent obligations, indemnification, expense reimbursement, tax gross-up or yield protection in each case as to which no claim has been made) are paid in full in cash and the Commitments are terminated.

2.2        Right of Contribution. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Each Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2.3. The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the Secured Parties, and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Secured Parties for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.

2.3        No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment made by any Guarantor hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any Guarantor by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured

Party against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party for the payment of the Primary Obligations of the Loan Parties, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties by the Loan Parties on account of the Primary Obligations (other than contingent obligations for indemnification, expense reimbursement, tax gross-up or yield protection as to which no claim has been made) are paid in full in cash and the Commitments are terminated. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Primary Obligations of the Loan Parties (other than contingent obligations for indemnification, expense reimbursement, tax gross-up or yield protection as to which no claim has been made) shall not have been paid in full in cash, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Collateral Agent, if required), to be applied against the Primary Obligations of the Loan Parties, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Collateral Agent may determine.

2.4        Amendments, etc. with respect to the Primary Obligations. Each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Primary Obligations of the Loan Parties made by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may be rescinded by the Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party and any of the Primary Obligations of the Loan Parties continued, and the Primary Obligations of the Loan Parties, or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, and the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Collateral Agent (or the Required Lenders or all Lenders, as the case may be) may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party for the payment of the Primary Obligations of the Loan Parties may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released.

2.5        Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional.

Each Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of the Guarantors with respect to the Primary Obligations of the Loan Parties. Each Guarantor understands and agrees that the guarantee contained in this Article II shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the Primary Obligations of the Loan Parties or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time

to time held by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Borrower or any other Person against the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or such Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Loan Parties for the Primary Obligations, or of such Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Article II, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any other Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Primary Obligations of the Loan Parties or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any other Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of the Borrower, any other Loan Party with Primary Obligations, any other Guarantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

2.6        Reinstatement. The guarantee contained in this Article II 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 Primary Obligations of the Loan Parties is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

2.7        Payments. Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to the Collateral Agent without set-off or counterclaim in Dollars by wire transfer to the Administrative Agent’s Account or such other account designated by the Collateral Agent in writing to the Borrower.

2.8        Mexican Domiciled Grantors. Each Mexican Domiciled Grantor hereby expressly acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York as set forth in Section 9.16 and expressly agrees that any rights and privileges that it might otherwise have under the laws of Mexico shall not be applicable to this Agreement, indemnities and other assurances contained herein or any guarantee granted by such Mexican Domiciled Grantor, on the date hereof or in the future, pursuant to this Agreement. For such purposes, each Mexican Domiciled Grantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any rights to which it may be entitled (including the rights to excusión, orden, división and subrogación), to the extent applicable, under Articles 2813, 2814, 2815, 2816, 2817, 2818, 2819, 2820, 2821, 2822, 2823, 2824, 2826, 2827, 2828, 2830, 2835, 2836, 2837, 2838, 2839, 2840, 2842, 2844, 2846, 2847, 2848 and 2849 of the Federal Civil Code (Código Civil Federal) and the corresponding provisions of the Civil Codes of the States of Mexico and the Federal District of Mexico (or any successor provisions).

action, claim, requirement or proceeding before any court, governmental agency, arbitrator or jurisdictional entity that affects or could affect the legality, validity or enforceability of this Agreement.

2.9          German Domiciled Grantors.

(a)        German Guarantor. For the purpose of this Agreement, a “German Guarantor” means any Grantor that is established in Germany as (i) a limited liability company (Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung) or (ii) a limited partnership (Kommanditgesellschaft) or a general partnership (offene Handelsgesellschaft) with, in each case, a limited liability company (Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung) as personally liable partner (persönlich haftender Gesellschafter) (the “PLP”).

(b)        German Guaranty and Collateral Limitation. If a German Guarantor guarantees or secures otherwise obligations or liabilities (including guarantees, letters of credit or similar instruments) of any of its affiliated companies (verbundene Unternehmen) within the meaning of section 15 et seq. of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG) that is not a direct or indirect subsidiary of the German Guarantor, the secured parties under this Agreement agree to enforce the guarantee granted in Article II of this Agreement (the “Guaranty”) and the Collateral granted in Article III of this Agreement against the German Guarantor or its PLP only to the extent that such enforcement would not:

(i)        result in a negative balance (Unterbilanz) of the German Guarantor or its PLP, i.e. reducing the net assets (Reinvermögen) of the Grantor or its PLP to an amount less than its registered share capital (Stammkapital), or

(ii)        if the net assets of the German Guarantor or its PLP are already less than the registered share capital result in its net assets (Reinvermögen) to be further reduced (Vertiefung einer Unterbilanz)

and would thus in each case constitute a violation of the German capital maintenance rules pursuant to sections 30 and 31 of the German Limited Liability Company’s Act (GmbHG).

(c)        Net Assets. For the purposes of paragraph (b) above, “net assets” means the assets calculated on the basis of the balance sheet items listed in sections 266 para. 2 A, B (in deviation from section 272 para. 1 of the German Commercial Code (HGB) including not yet called outstanding contributions (nicht eingeforderte ausstehende Einlagen)), C, D and E of the German Commercial Code (HGB) less all liabilities listed in section 266 para. 3 B, C, D and E HGB and less such amounts being subject to a distribution barrier pursuant to section 268 para. 8 HGB, section 253 para. 6 HGB or section 272 para. 5 HGB, always provided that for the purpose of calculating the enforceable amount (if any) the following balance sheet items shall be disregarded:

(i)        the amount of any increase of the registered share capital of the German Guarantor or its PLP other than as permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and/or that has been effected without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent;

(ii)        liabilities incurred by the German Guarantor or its PLP not permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents;

(iii)        liabilities of the German Guarantor or its PLP owed to any group member; and

(iv)        liabilities of the German Guarantor or its PLP owed to shareholders to the extent that such liabilities are subordinated pursuant to section 39 para. 1 no. 5 or section 39 para. 2 of the German Insolvency Code (InsO).

Unless deviations are required by mandatory law, the relevant net assets are to be determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles observing the accountings principles applied in the previous years for the creation of the non-consolidated financial statement.

(d)        Management Calculation. The enforcement of the Guarantee and of the Collateral against the German Guarantor shall initially only be excluded if and to the extent that no later than ten (10) Business Days following a written notice of the Collateral Agent to enforce the Guaranty and/or the Collateral (the “Enforcement Notice”), the managing directors of the German Guarantor or its PLP have submitted to the Collateral Agent an updated balance sheet of that German Guarantor or its PLP derived from the latest annual financial statement together with a detailed written calculation based on the date of receipt of the Enforcement Notice (the “Management Calculation”) confirming to their best knowledge which amount cannot be enforced as this would cause the net assets of the relevant German Guarantor or its PLP being less than (or to fall further below) its registered share capital.

(e)        Auditors’ Determination. The Collateral Agent is entitled to enforce the Guarantee and the Collateral in such an amount that is undisputed according to the Management Calculation and the German Guarantor is obliged to pay such undisputed amount to the Collateral Agent.

With regard to the disputed amount, the German Guarantor shall submit to the Collateral Agent within thirty (30) Business Days after the Collateral Agent has partly or totally rejected the calculation in the Management Calculation a determination prepared by auditors of international standard and reputation (or otherwise accepted by the Collateral Agent) appointed (in coordination with the Collateral Agent) by and at the costs of the German Guarantor confirming to which extent the Guaranty and Collateral can be enforced against the German Guarantor on the date of receipt of the Enforcement Notice (the “Auditors’ Determination”). The Auditors’ Determination has to refer to a recent balance sheet of the German Guarantor or its PLP. The calculation of the Auditors’ Determination is final and binding upon the parties, safe for obvious mistakes. In case the Auditors’ Determination will not be submitted within the stipulated time period, the Collateral Agent is entitled to enforce the Guaranty and Collateral against the German Guarantor in full.

(f)        Required Actions. Provided that the Guarantee cannot be fully enforced against the German Guarantor due to the aforementioned provisions the German Guarantor or its PLP is obliged (to the extent legally permitted and necessary to enable the Collateral Agent to enforce the Guarantee and Collateral in full or with less limitations) to:

(i)        immediately dispose of any of its assets that are not required for the German Guarantor’s or its PLP’s business and the book value of which is significantly lower than its market value;

(ii)        otherwise realize all hidden reserves in relation to assets that are required for the German Guarantor’s or its PLP’s business; and

(iii)        adopt all other reasonable measures which are necessary to allow the Collateral Agent to fully enforce the Guarantee and the Collateral.

The German Guarantor will notify the Collateral Agent about the sale proceeds and the book value of its respective assets and of the realized hidden reserves.

(g)        No restrictions. The restrictions pursuant to Section 2.2 do not apply to the extent that:

(i)        the Guarantee is enforced against the German Guarantor or its PLP with regard to an amount that the German Guarantor or its PLP or any of their subsidiaries has utilized under or in connection with the Loan Documents;

(ii)        the Guarantee and/or Collateral is granted (i) in relation to amounts (not yet repaid) being on-lent or otherwise passed on to the German Guarantor or its PLP or its subsidiaries or otherwise be used for their purposes or (ii) in relation to liabilities deriving from letters of credit issued in order to secure liabilities of the German Guarantor or its PLP or their subsidiaries;

(iii)        insolvency proceedings against the German Guarantor’s assets are opened, unless the Federal High Court (BGH) has confirmed that section 30 of the German Limited Liability Company’s Act (GmbHG) remains applicable in such event;

(e)        Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.7 or elsewhere in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent any Grantor from abandoning or discontinuing the use or maintenance of any Intellectual Property that is immaterial to the conduct of its business, or from failing to take action to enforce license agreements or pursue actions against infringers or take any other actions with respect to such Intellectual Property, if such Grantor determines in its reasonable business judgment that such abandonment, discontinuance, or failure to take action is desirable in the conduct of its business.

5.8        Commercial Tort Claims. If such Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire a Commercial Tort Claim having a value in excess of $500,000, the Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent and the Lender Representative thereof in a writing signed by such Grantor, including a summary description of such claim, and enter into an amendment to this Agreement, in the form of Exhibit F hereto, granting to the Collateral Agent a first priority (or such other priority required by any of the Intercreditor Agreements) security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof.

5.9        Letter-of-Credit Rights. If such Grantor is at any time a beneficiary under a letter of credit now or hereafter issued in favor of such Grantor with a value in excess of $500,000, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent and the Lender Representative thereof in writing and, at the request and option of the Collateral Agent or the Lender Representative, such Grantor shall, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and the Lender Representative, either (i) arrange for the issuer and any confirmer of such letter of credit to consent to an assignment to the Collateral Agent of the proceeds of any drawing under the letter of credit or (ii) arrange for the Collateral Agent to become the transferee beneficiary of the letter of credit, with the Collateral Agent agreeing, in each case, that the proceeds of any drawing under the letter of credit are to be paid to the applicable Grantor unless an Event of Default has occurred or is continuing.

5.10        [Reserved].

5.11        [Reserved].

5.12        No Interference. Such Grantor agrees that it will not interfere with any right, power and remedy of the Collateral Agent provided for in this Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, or the exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any one or more of such rights, powers or remedies.

5.13        Insurance. Such Grantor, at its own expense, shall maintain or cause to be maintained insurance covering physical loss or damage to the Inventory and Equipment in accordance with Section 5.07 of the Credit Agreement. Each Grantor irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Collateral Agent) as such Grantor’s true and lawful agent (and attorney-in-fact) for the purpose, during the continuance of an Event of Default, of making, settling and adjusting claims in respect of Collateral under policies of insurance, endorsing the name of such Grantor on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the proceeds of such policies of insurance and for making all determinations and decisions with respect thereto, in each case, upon prior notice from the Collateral Agent to the Grantors of its intention to exercise such

rights. In the event that any Grantor at any time or times shall fail to obtain or maintain any of the policies of insurance required hereby or to pay any premium in whole or part relating thereto, the Collateral Agent may, without waiving or releasing any obligation or liability of the Grantors hereunder or any Event of Default, in its sole discretion, obtain and maintain such policies of insurance and pay such premium and take any other actions with respect thereto as the Collateral Agent deems advisable. All sums disbursed by the Collateral Agent in connection with this Section 5.13, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, expenses and other charges relating thereto, shall be payable, upon demand, by the Grantors to the Collateral Agent and shall be additional Obligations secured hereby.

5.14        Change of Name; Location of Collateral; Place of Business. Such Grantor agrees promptly to notify the Collateral Agent and the Lender Representative in writing of any change (i) in its corporate name, (ii) in the location of its chief executive office, (iii) in such Grantor’s type of organization, identity or structure or (iv) in such Grantor’s jurisdiction of organization or incorporation. Such Grantor agrees not to effect or permit any change referred to in the preceding sentence unless written notice has been delivered to the Collateral Agent and the Lender Representative and all filings have been made under the UCC, PPSA or otherwise that are required in order for the Collateral Agent to continue at all times following such change to have a valid, legal and perfected first priority (or such other priority required by the Intercreditor Agreements) Lien upon all the Collateral. Such Grantor agrees promptly to notify the Collateral Agent in writing if any material portion of the Collateral owned or held by such Grantor is damaged or destroyed.

5.15        Credit Agreement Covenants. Except to the extent prohibited by an Applicable Law, such Grantor shall take, or shall refrain from taking, as the case may be, each action that is necessary to be taken or not taken, as the case may be, so that no Default or Event of Default is caused by the failure to take such action or to refrain from taking such action by such Grantor or any of its Subsidiaries.

5.16        Delivery of the Pledged Equity.

(a)        Each Grantor agrees promptly to deliver or cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, any and all Pledged Securities, if and to the extent such Pledged Securities are certificated; provided that the Grantors shall only be required to deliver Pledged Securities evidencing Indebtedness to the extent the principal amount thereof exceeds $500,000.

(b)        Each Grantor will cause any Indebtedness for borrowed money having an aggregate principal amount in excess of $500,000 owed to such Grantor by any Person to be evidenced by a duly executed promissory note that is, if legally capable of being pledged, pledged and delivered to the Collateral Agent (or its agent or designee), for the benefit of the Secured Parties, pursuant to the terms hereof.

(c)        Upon delivery to the Collateral Agent (or its agent or designee), any Pledged Securities shall be accompanied by stock or security powers duly executed in blank or other instruments of transfer reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and by such other instruments and documents as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request (subject to the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement). Each delivery of Pledged Securities shall be accompanied by a schedule describing the securities, which schedule shall be deemed to supplement Exhibit D and made a part thereof; provided that failure to supplement Exhibit D shall not affect the validity of such pledge of such Pledged Securities. Each schedule so delivered shall supplement any prior schedules so delivered.

(d)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.16, if the actions described in this Section 5.16 have been taken in favor of the First Lien Term Loan Agent or the ABL Agent and, pursuant to the Term Intercreditor Agreement or the ABL/Term Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable, the First Lien Term Loan Agent or the ABL Agent, as applicable, acts as agent and gratuitous

bailee for the Collateral Agent for the purpose of perfecting the Collateral Agent’s Liens hereunder, the requirement to take any such action shall be deemed to be satisfied.

ARTICLE VI

EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

6.1        Remedies. (a) Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements, upon the occurrence and during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may exercise any or all of the following rights and remedies:

(i)        those rights and remedies provided in this Agreement, the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Document; provided that this Section 6.1(a) shall not be understood to limit any rights or remedies available to the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties prior to an Event of Default;

(ii)        those rights and remedies available to a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral), the PPSA (whether or not the PPSA applies to the affected Collateral) or under any other Applicable Law (including, without limitation, any law governing the exercise of a bank’s right of setoff or bankers’ lien) when a debtor is in default under a security agreement;

(iii)        without notice (except as specifically provided in Section 9.1 or elsewhere herein), demand or advertisement of any kind to any Grantor or any other Person, enter the premises of any Grantor where any Collateral is located (through self-help and without judicial process) to collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate, sell, lease, assign, grant an option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of, deliver, or realize upon, the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales (which sales may be adjourned or continued from time to time with or without notice and may take place at any Grantor’s premises or elsewhere), for cash, on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable; and

(iv)        concurrently with written notice to the applicable Grantor, transfer and register in its name or in the name of its nominee the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral, exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Pledged Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations, exercise the voting and all other rights as a holder with respect thereto, collect and receive all cash dividends, interest, principal and other distributions made thereon and otherwise act with respect to the Pledged Collateral as though the Collateral Agent was the outright owner thereof.

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

(c)        The Collateral Agent shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase (including by credit bidding) for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right of equity redemption, which equity redemption each Grantor hereby expressly releases.

(d)        Until the Collateral Agent is able to effect a sale, lease, or other disposition of Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to hold or use Collateral, or any part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving Collateral or its value or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver, trustee or keeper to take possession of Collateral and to enforce any of the Collateral Agent’s remedies (for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties), with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment.

(e)        [Reserved].

(f)        Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall be required to (i) make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any of its rights or remedies against, any Grantor, any other obligor, guarantor, pledgor or any other Person with respect to the payment of the Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any of its rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guarantee thereof, (ii) marshal the Collateral or any guarantee of the Obligations or to resort to the Collateral or any such guarantee in any particular order, or (iii) effect a public sale of any Collateral.

(g)        Each Grantor recognizes that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Collateral and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof in accordance with clause (a) above. Each Grantor also acknowledges that any private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely by virtue of such sale being private. The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit any Grantor or the issuer of the Pledged Collateral to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under applicable state or provincial securities laws, or under other Applicable Law, even if the applicable Grantor and the issuer would agree to do so.

6.2        Grantor’s Obligations Upon Default. Upon the request of the Collateral Agent after the occurrence and during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor will:

(a)        assemble and make available to the Collateral Agent the Collateral and all books and records relating thereto at any place or places reasonably specified by the Collateral Agent, whether at a Grantor’s premises or elsewhere;

(b)        permit the Collateral Agent, by the Collateral Agent’s representatives and agents, to enter, occupy and use any premises where all or any part of the Collateral, or the books and records relating thereto, or both, are located, to take possession of all or any part of the Collateral or the books and records relating thereto, or both, to remove all or any part of the Collateral or the books and records relating thereto, or both, and to conduct sales of the Collateral, without any obligation to pay the Grantor for such use and occupancy;

(c)        prepare and file, or cause an issuer of Pledged Collateral to prepare and file, with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other applicable government agency, registration statements, a prospectus and such other documentation in connection with the Pledged Collateral as the Collateral Agent may request, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, and furnish to the Collateral Agent, or cause an issuer of Pledged Collateral to furnish to the Collateral Agent, any information regarding the Pledged Collateral in such detail as the Collateral Agent may specify;

(d)        take, or cause an issuer of Pledged Collateral to take, any and all actions necessary to register or qualify the Pledged Collateral to enable the Collateral Agent to consummate a public sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral; and

(e)        at its own expense, cause the independent certified public accountants then engaged by each Grantor to prepare and deliver to the Collateral Agent, at any time, and from time to time, promptly upon the Collateral Agent’s request, the following reports with respect to the applicable Grantor: (i) a reconciliation of all Accounts; (ii) an aging of all Accounts; (iii) trial balances; and (iv) a test verification of such Accounts.

6.3        Grant of Intellectual Property License. For the exclusive purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Agreement at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies at any time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor hereby (a) grants to the Collateral Agent a non-exclusive, irrevocable (until the termination of this Agreement) license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to any Grantor) to use, license or sublicense any rights in, to or under any or all Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, wherever such Intellectual Property may be located, and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof and (b) irrevocably agrees that the Collateral Agent may, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, sell any of such Grantor’s Inventory directly to any Person, including, without limitation, Persons who have previously purchased such Grantor’s Inventory from any Grantor and in connection with any such sale or other enforcement of the Collateral Agent’s rights under this Agreement, may sell Inventory which bears any Trademark owned by or licensed to any Grantor and any Inventory that is covered by any Copyright owned by or licensed to any Grantor and the Collateral Agent may finish any work in process and affix any Trademark owned by or licensed to any Grantor and sell such Inventory as provided herein (it being understood that the Trademarks and Copyrights licensed to any such Grantor shall be subject to, and as permitted by, the terms of licenses governing such licensed Trademarks and Copyrights); provided, however, that nothing in this Section 6.3 shall require any Grantor to grant any license that is prohibited by any rule of law, statute or regulation, or is prohibited by, or constitutes a breach or default under or results in the termination of any contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document. With respect to Trademarks included in the foregoing license, such license shall be subject to the requirement that the quality of goods and services offered under the Trademarks by the Collateral Agent be substantially consistent with the quality of the goods and services offered thereunder by such Grantor prior to the Collateral Agent’s exercise of such license. Any license, sublicense or other transaction entered into by the Collateral Agent in accordance herewith shall be binding upon the applicable Grantor notwithstanding any subsequent cure of an Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon the Collateral Agent’s request, such Grantor will use its commercially reasonable efforts to secure all consents and approvals necessary or appropriate for the assignment to the Collateral Agent of any material License held by such Grantor and to enforce the security interests granted hereunder.

6.4        Application of Proceeds6.5. The Collateral Agent shall apply the proceeds of any collection or sale of the Collateral, as well as any Collateral consisting of cash, as follows:

FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent (in its capacity as the Collateral Agent or Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document) and the Lender Representative in connection with such collection or sale or otherwise in connection with this Agreement or any of the Obligations, including all court costs and the reasonable fees and expenses of its agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all advances made by the Collateral Agent (or the Administrative Agent) hereunder or under any

other Loan Document on behalf of any Grantor and any other reasonable costs or expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent (or the Administrative Agent) in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document;

SECOND, to the payment in full of the Obligations (the amounts so applied to be distributed among the Secured Parties pro rata in accordance with the amounts of the Obligations owed to them on the date of any such distribution); and

THIRD, to the Grantors, their successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

The Collateral Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any sale of the Collateral by the Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Collateral Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.

6.6        Proceeds to be Turned Over or Received by the Collateral Agent. In addition to the rights of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties specified in Section 7.2 with respect to payments of Accounts, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, upon the request of the Collateral Agent, all Proceeds received by any Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Collateral Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent, if required). All Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent hereunder shall be held by the Collateral Agent in a collateral account maintained under its sole dominion and control. All such Proceeds while held by the Collateral Agent in such a collateral account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in the Intercreditor Agreements.

ARTICLE VII

ACCOUNT VERIFICATION; ATTORNEY IN FACT; PROXY

7.1        Account Verification. The Collateral Agent may at any time after the occurrence and during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, in the Collateral Agent’s own name, in the name of a nominee of the Collateral Agent, or in the name of any Grantor communicate (by mail, telephone, facsimile or otherwise) with the Account Debtors of any such Grantor, parties to contracts with any such Grantor and obligors in respect of Instruments of any such Grantor to verify with such Persons, to the Collateral Agent’s satisfaction, the existence, amount, terms of, and any other matter relating to, Accounts, Instruments, Chattel Paper, payment intangibles and/or other Receivables.

7.2        Authorization for Collateral Agent to Take Certain Action. (a) Each Grantor irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent at any time and from time to time in the sole discretion of the Collateral Agent and appoints the Collateral Agent as its attorney in fact (i) to execute on behalf of such Grantor as debtor and to file financing statements necessary or desirable in the Collateral Agent’s sole discretion to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Collateral, (ii) to endorse and collect any cash proceeds of the Collateral, (iii) to file a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement with respect to the Collateral as a financing statement and to file any other financing statement or amendment of a financing statement in such

offices as the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Collateral, (iv) to contact and enter into one or more agreements with the issuers of uncertificated securities which are Pledged Collateral or with securities intermediaries holding Pledged Collateral as may be necessary or advisable to give the Collateral Agent Control over such Pledged Collateral, (v) to apply the proceeds of any Collateral received by the Collateral Agent to the Obligations as provided in the Credit Agreement, (vi) to discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees or Liens on the Collateral (except for such Liens that are permitted by the Credit Agreement), (vii) to contact Account Debtors for any reason, (viii) to demand payment or enforce payment of the Receivables in the name of the Collateral Agent or such Grantor and to endorse any and all checks, drafts, and other instruments for the payment of money relating to the Receivables, (ix) to sign such Grantor’s name on any invoice or bill of lading relating to the Receivables, drafts against any Account Debtor of the Grantor, assignments and verifications of Receivables, (x) to exercise all of such Grantor’s rights and remedies with respect to the collection of the Receivables and any other Collateral, (xi) to settle, adjust, compromise, extend or renew the Receivables, (xii) to settle, adjust or compromise any legal proceedings brought to collect Receivables, (xiii) to prepare, file and sign such Grantor’s name on a proof of claim in bankruptcy or similar document against any Account Debtor of such Grantor, (xiv) to prepare, file and sign such Grantor’s name on any notice of Lien, assignment or satisfaction of Lien or similar document in connection with the Collateral, (xv) to change the address for delivery of mail addressed to such Grantor to such address as the Collateral Agent may designate and to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to such Grantor, and (xvi) to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out this Agreement; and such Grantor agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent on demand for any payment made or any expense incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that (a) this authorization shall not relieve such Grantor of any of its obligations under this Agreement or under the Credit Agreement and (b) the Collateral Agent shall exercise the foregoing rights in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreements, if effective and only after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default. (b) All acts of said attorney or designee are hereby ratified and approved. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and Secured Parties, under this Section 7.2 are solely to protect the Collateral Agent’s interests in the Collateral and shall not be construed as requiring or obligating the Collateral Agent to make any commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Collateral Agent, or to present or file any claim or notice, or to take any action with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys due or to become due in respect thereof or any property covered thereby. The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts actually received as a result of the exercise of the powers granted to them herein, and neither they nor their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.

7.3        Proxy. EACH GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSTITUTES AND APPOINTS THE COLLATERAL AGENT AS ITS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT (AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 7.2 ABOVE) WITH RESPECT TO ITS PLEDGED COLLATERAL, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO VOTE ANY OF THE PLEDGED COLLATERAL OR TO EXERCISE SUCH GRANTOR’S VOTING RIGHTS IN RESPECT OF THE PLEDGED COLLATERAL, WITH FULL POWER OF SUBSTITUTION TO DO SO AFTER THE OCCURRENCE AND DURING THE CONTINUATION OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT. IN ADDITION TO THE RIGHT TO VOTE ANY OF THE PLEDGED COLLATERAL, THE APPOINTMENT OF THE COLLATERAL AGENT AS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT SHALL INCLUDE THE RIGHT TO EXERCISE ALL OTHER RIGHTS, POWERS, PRIVILEGES AND REMEDIES TO WHICH A HOLDER OF ANY OF THE PLEDGED COLLATERAL WOULD BE ENTITLED (INCLUDING GIVING OR WITHHOLDING WRITTEN CONSENTS OF SHAREHOLDERS, CALLING SPECIAL MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS AND VOTING AT SUCH MEETINGS). SUCH PROXY SHALL BE EFFECTIVE, AUTOMATICALLY AND WITHOUT THE NECESSITY OF ANY ACTION (INCLUDING ANY TRANSFER OF ANY OF THE

PLEDGED COLLATERAL ON THE RECORD BOOKS OF THE ISSUER THEREOF) BY ANY PERSON (INCLUDING THE ISSUER OF THE PLEDGED COLLATERAL OR ANY OFFICER OR AGENT THEREOF), UPON THE OCCURRENCE AND DURING THE OCCURRENCE AND CONTINUANCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT.    

7.4        Nature of Appointment; Limitation of Duty. THE APPOINTMENT OF THE COLLATERAL AGENT AS PROXY AND ATTORNEY-IN-FACT IN THIS ARTICLE VII IS COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST AND SHALL BE IRREVOCABLE UNTIL THE DATE ON WHICH THIS AGREEMENT IS TERMINATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 9.23. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING CONTAINED HEREIN, NEITHER THE COLLATERAL AGENT, NOR ANY SECURED PARTY, NOR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, NOR ANY OF THEIR OR THEIR AFFILIATES’ RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES SHALL HAVE ANY DUTY TO EXERCISE ANY RIGHT OR POWER GRANTED HEREUNDER OR OTHERWISE OR TO PRESERVE THE SAME AND SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY FAILURE TO DO SO OR FOR ANY DELAY IN DOING SO, EXCEPT IN RESPECT OF DAMAGES ATTRIBUTABLE SOLELY TO ITS OWN GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT AS FINALLY DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION; PROVIDED THAT, IN NO EVENT SHALL THEY BE LIABLE FOR ANY PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

ARTICLE VIII

[Reserved].

ARTICLE IX

GENERAL PROVISIONS

9.1        Waivers. Each Grantor hereby waives notice of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral may be made. To the extent such notice may not be waived under Applicable Law, any notice made shall be deemed reasonable if sent to the Grantors, addressed as set forth in Article X, at least ten days prior to (i) the date of any such public sale or (ii) the time after which any such private sale or other disposition may be made. To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages, and demands against the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral, except such as arise solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Collateral Agent or such Secured Party as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent it may lawfully do so, each Grantor absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party, any valuation, stay, appraisal, extension, moratorium, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety now or hereafter existing which, but for this provision, might be applicable to the sale of any Collateral made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, or privately under the power of sale conferred by this Agreement, or otherwise. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each Grantor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law) of any kind in connection with this Agreement or any Collateral.

9.2        Limitation on Collateral Agent’s and Secured Parties’ Duty with Respect to the Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. The Collateral Agent and each Secured Party shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its control. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any other duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of the Collateral Agent or such Secured Party, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights

against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. To the extent that Applicable Law imposes duties on the Collateral Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is commercially reasonable for the Collateral Agent (i) to fail to incur expenses deemed significant by the Collateral Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to transform raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as such Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Collateral Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Collateral Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Collateral Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 9.2 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Collateral Agent would be commercially reasonable in the Collateral Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Collateral Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 9.2. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 9.2 shall be construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose any duties on the Collateral Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by Applicable Law in the absence of this Section 9.2.

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

9.4        Secured Party Performance of Debtor Obligations. Without having any obligation to do so, the Collateral Agent may perform or pay any obligation which any Grantor has agreed to perform or pay in this Agreement and the Grantors shall reimburse the Collateral Agent for any amounts paid by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 9.4. The Grantors’ obligation to reimburse the Collateral Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be an Obligation payable on demand.

9.5        Specific Performance of Certain Covenants. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in Sections 5.1(d), 5.1(e), 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7, 5.8, 5.10, 5.11, 5.13, 5.14, 5.16, 6.2, or 9.7 or in Article VIII will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, that the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breaches and therefore agrees, without limiting the right of the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties to seek and obtain specific performance of other obligations of the Grantors contained in this Agreement, that the covenants of the Grantors contained in the Sections referred to in this Section 9.5 shall be specifically enforceable against the Grantors.

9.6        Dispositions Not Authorized. No Grantor is authorized to sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral except as set forth in Section 5.1(d) and notwithstanding any course of dealing between any Grantor and the Collateral Agent or other conduct of the Collateral Agent, no authorization to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Collateral (except as set forth in Section 5.1(d)) shall be binding upon the Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties unless such authorization is in writing signed by the Collateral Agent with the consent or at the direction of the Required Lenders.

9.7        No Waiver; Amendments; Cumulative Remedies. No delay or omission of the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to exercise any right or remedy granted under this Agreement shall impair such right or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and any single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy shall not preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. No waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of this Agreement whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Collateral Agent and the Lender Representative with the concurrence or at the direction of the Lenders required under Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All rights and remedies contained in this Agreement or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties until the Obligations have been paid in full in cash.

9.8        Limitation by Law; Severability of Provisions. All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provision of law or the Intercreditor Agreements (if effective), and all the provisions of this Agreement are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law and the Intercreditor Agreements (if effective) that may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they shall not render this Agreement invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded or registered, in whole or in part. Any provision in any this Agreement that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions in that jurisdiction or the operation, enforceability, or validity of that provision in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of this Agreement are declared to be severable.

9.9        Reinstatement. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any Grantor for insolvency, administration, liquidation or reorganization, should any Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should a receiver, administrator or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of any Grantor’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to Applicable Law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

9.10        Benefit of Agreement. The terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Grantors, the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns (including all persons who become bound as a debtor to this Agreement), except that no Grantor shall have the right to assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Agreement or any interest herein, without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent. No sales of participations, assignments, transfers, or other dispositions of any agreement governing the Obligations or any portion thereof or interest therein shall in any manner impair the Lien granted to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, hereunder or under any of the other Security Documents.

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

9.12        [Reserved].

9.13        Headings. All headings used herein are for the purpose of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

9.14        Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder, the security interest granted hereunder and all obligations of the Grantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, any agreement with respect to any of the Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument, (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent under or departure from any guarantee, securing or guaranteeing all or any of the Obligations, or (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor in respect of the Obligations or this Agreement.

9.15        Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Security Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between the Grantors and the Collateral Agent relating to the Collateral and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between the Grantors and the Collateral Agent relating to the Collateral.

9.16        GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; CONSENT TO SERVICE OF PROCESS.

(a)        UNLESS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND ALL CLAIMS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES EXCEPT FEDERAL LAWS RELATING TO NATIONAL BANKS.

(b)        Each of the Grantors hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof (and, to the extent necessary to enforce the Secured Parties’ rights under the Loan Documents, courts where Collateral may be located or deemed to be located and any appellate court thereof), in any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the

extent permitted by law, in such Federal court; provided, that nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document will prevent any Lender, the Lender Representative, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent from bringing any action to enforce any award or judgment or exercise any right under the Security Documents or against any Collateral or any other property of any Grantor in any other forum in which jurisdiction can be established. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Lender Representative or the Lenders may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against the Grantors or their respective properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c)        Each Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(d)        Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.1. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

(e)        Nothing herein shall limit the right of Collateral Agent or any Lender to bring proceedings against any Grantor (other than a Mexican Domiciled Grantor) in any other court, nor limit the right of any party to serve process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law (except with respect to service of process to Mexican Domiciled Grantor). Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to preclude enforcement by the Collateral Agent of any judgment or order obtained in any forum or jurisdiction. Final judgment against a Grantor in any action, suit or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction, including the country in which such Grantor is domiciled, by suit on the judgment. If any party incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands, is represented by an attorney (pursuant to a power of attorney governed by the laws of the Netherlands) in connection with the signing and/or execution of this Agreement or any other agreement, deed or document referred to in or made pursuant to this Agreement, it is hereby expressly acknowledged and accepted by the other parties to this Agreement that the existence and extent of the attorney’s authority and the effects of the attorney’s exercise or purported exercise of his or her authority shall be governed by the laws of the Netherlands.

(f)        Notwithstanding anything on the contrary set forth above, with respect to any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement involving any party incorporated or organized under the laws of Mexico, each of the parties hereto (a) irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York City and of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof; and (b) waives any other jurisdiction to which it may be entitled by reason of its present or future domicile or otherwise.

9.17        WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY (WHICH COLLATERAL AGENT HEREBY ALSO WAIVES) IN ANY PROCEEDING OR DISPUTE OF ANY KIND RELATING IN ANY WAY TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS, OBLIGATIONS OR COLLATERAL. EACH GRANTOR HAS REVIEWED THE FOREGOING WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND HAS KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVED ITS JURY TRIAL AND OTHER RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. IN THE EVENT

OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT. Notwithstanding the above, each Mexican Domiciled Grantor further waives any right to any jurisdiction (other than as provided under Section 9.16 above) to which they may be entitled under Applicable Law, by reason of its present or future domicile, or otherwise, for the purposes of proceedings against or involving any of the Mexican Domiciled Grantors, and waives any objection to those courts on the ground of venue or forum non conveniens.

9.18        Indemnity. Each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to pay upon demand to the Collateral Agent the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of its counsel and of any experts or agents, which the Collateral Agent may incur in connection with (i) the administration of this Agreement (including the customary fees and charges of the Collateral Agent for any monitoring or audits conducted by it or on its behalf with respect to the Accounts or Inventory), (ii) the custody or preservation of, or the sale of, collection from or other realization upon any of the Collateral, (iii) the exercise, enforcement or protection of any of the rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder or (iv) the failure of any Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.

Without limitation of its indemnification obligations under the other Loan Documents, each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to indemnify the Collateral Agent and the other Indemnitees against, and hold each of them harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel, incurred by or asserted against any of them arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of, the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating hereto or to the Collateral, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates.

Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Obligations secured hereby and by the other Security Documents. The provisions of this Section 9.18 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Loans, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 9.18 shall be payable on written demand therefor.

9.19        Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.. This Agreement shall become effective when the Collateral Agent has received counterparts bearing the signatures of all parties hereto. The Collateral Agent may (but shall have no obligation to) accept any signature, contract formation or record-keeping through electronic means, which shall have the same legal validity and enforceability as manual or paper-based methods, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any similar state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

9.20        Judgment Currency Conversion. If, for the purposes of enforcing judgment in any court or for any other purpose hereunder or in connection herewith, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in any currency into another currency, such conversion should be carried out to the extent and in the manner provided in the Credit Agreement.

9.21        Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be valid under Applicable Law. If any provision is found to be invalid under Applicable Law, it shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

9.22        Intercreditor Agreements.

(a)        The terms of this Agreement, any Lien granted to the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Collateral Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreements (if effective). In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreements (if effective), the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreements shall supersede the provisions of this Agreement.

(b)        Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent (and the Secured Parties) shall be subject to the terms of the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement (if effective), and until the Discharge of ABL Obligations (as defined in the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement), (i) no Grantor shall be required hereunder or under any other Loan Document to take any action with respect to ABL Priority Collateral that is inconsistent with such Grantor’s obligations under the applicable ABL Loan Documents and (ii) any obligation of any Grantor hereunder or under any other Loan Document with respect to the delivery or control of any ABL Priority Collateral, bill of lading or other document, the giving of any notice to any bailee or other Person, the provision of voting rights or the obtaining of any consent of any Person shall be deemed to be satisfied if such Grantor complies with the requirements of the similar provision of the applicable ABL Loan Document. Until the Discharge of ABL Obligations (as defined in the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement), the Collateral Agent may not require any Grantor to take any action with respect to the creation, perfection or priority of its security interest in the ABL Priority Collateral, whether pursuant to the express terms hereof or of any other Loan Document or pursuant to the further assurances provisions hereof or any other Loan Document, unless the ABL Collateral Agent (as defined in the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement) shall have required such Grantor to take similar action pursuant to the terms of the applicable Loan Documents, and delivery of any ABL Priority Collateral to the ABL Collateral Agent (as defined in the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement) pursuant to the applicable ABL Loan Documents and the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement shall satisfy any delivery requirement hereunder or under any other Loan Document.

(c)        Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the liens and security interests granted to the Collateral Agent and the claims of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties pursuant to this Agreement are expressly subject and subordinate to the liens and security interests granted to and claims in favor of the Senior Secured Parties (as defined in the Term Intercreditor Agreement referred to below), including liens and security interests granted to, and claims of, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., and the lenders pursuant to or in connection with the Credit Agreement dated as of June 30, 2015 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time), among the Borrower, the lenders party thereto, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent and (ii) the exercise of any right or remedy by the Collateral Agent hereunder is subject to the limitations and provisions of the Term Intercreditor Agreement dated as of March 15] 2019 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Term Intercreditor Agreement”), among the Borrower, the lenders party thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Senior Collateral Agent, and Cortland Capital Market Services LLC, as Junior Collateral Agent. In the event of any conflict between

the terms of the Term Intercreditor Agreement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the Term Intercreditor Agreement shall govern.

9.23        Additional Grantors. Each Subsidiary of a Borrower that is required to become a party to this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.12 of the Credit Agreement shall become a Grantor for all purposes of this Agreement upon execution and delivery by such Subsidiary of an Assumption Agreement in the form of Annex 1 hereto. Each Grantor expressly agrees that its obligations arising hereunder shall not be discharged, diminished or otherwise affected (a) by the addition or release of any other Grantor hereunder, (b) by any failure by the Borrower or any Grantor to cause any Subsidiary of the Borrower to become a Grantor hereunder or (c) by reason of the Collateral Agent’s or any of the other Secured Party’s actions in effecting, or failure to effect, any such joinder, or in releasing any Grantor hereunder, in each case, whether or not notice is given or consent is obtained from any Grantor. This Agreement shall be fully effective as to any Grantor that is or becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any other Person becomes or fails to become or ceases to be a Grantor hereunder.

9.24        Releases.    (a) This Agreement and the security interest of the Secured Parties on the Collateral provided hereunder shall terminate when all the Obligations (other than contingent obligations for indemnification, expense reimbursement, tax gross-up or yield protection as to which no claim has been made) have been paid in full in cash and the Lenders have no further commitment to lend, at which time the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to the Grantors or the Grantors’ designee, at the Grantors’ expense, all Uniform Commercial Code termination statements and similar documents which the Grantors shall reasonably request from time to time to evidence such termination. Any execution and delivery of termination statements or documents pursuant to this Section 9.23(a) shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Collateral Agent.

(b)        A Guarantor shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder and the security interest of the Secured Parties in the Collateral of such Guarantor shall be automatically released in the event that all the Equity Interests of such Guarantor shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of to a person that is not an Affiliate of the Borrower in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement; provided that the Required Lenders (or, if required by the terms of the Credit Agreement, such greater percentage of the Lenders specified in the Credit Agreement) shall have consented to such sale, transfer or other disposition (to the extent required by the Credit Agreement) and the terms of such consent did not provide otherwise. The security interest of the Secured Parties in any Collateral that is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in accordance with this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including pursuant to a waiver or amendment of the terms thereof) shall automatically terminate and be released, and such Collateral shall be sold free and clear of the security interest created hereby. In connection with any of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to the Grantors or the Grantors’ designee, at the Grantors’ expense, all Uniform Commercial Code termination statements and similar documents (including any such documents as may be reasonably necessary in connection with the entry into by any Grantor of a Specified Vendor Receivables Financing) that the Grantors shall reasonably request from time to time to evidence such termination. Any execution and delivery of termination statements or documents pursuant to this Section 9.23(b) shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Collateral Agent.

9.25        Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Secured Party is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other Indebtedness at any time owing by such Secured Party to or for the credit or the account of any Guarantor against any or all the obligations of such Guarantor now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents held by such Secured Party, irrespective of whether or not such Secured Party shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although

such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Secured Party under this Section 9.24 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Secured Party may have.

9.26        Agreed Security Principles; Excluded Property. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (a) the guaranty and grant of the security interest by the Grantors hereunder that are Foreign Domiciled Grantors and the Collateral of the Grantors hereunder that are Foreign Domiciled Grantors shall be subject to Agreed Security Principles and all representations, warranties, covenants and other provisions hereof shall be subject to the Agreed Security Principles, (b) with respect to any property or asset of any Foreign Domiciled Grantor, in the event of any irreconcilable conflict between this Agreement and any other Security Document with respect to such property or asset, the terms of such other Security Document shall govern and control and (c) to the extent any provision of the Credit Agreement, this Agreement or any of the other Security Documents excludes assets from the scope of the Collateral (including any Excluded Property), or from any requirement to take any action to perfect any security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral, the representations, warranties and covenants made by any relevant Grantor in this Agreement with respect to the creation, perfection or priority (as applicable) of the security interest granted in favor of the Collateral Agent shall be deemed not to apply to such excluded assets.

9.27        Parallel Debt Undertaking.

(a)          Purpose of the Parallel Debt Undertaking. The parallel debt undertaking created hereunder (“Parallel Debt Undertaking”) (abstraktes Schuldanerkenntnis) is constituted in order to secure the prompt and complete satisfaction of any Obligations. The Parallel Debt Undertaking shall also cover any future extension, prolongation, increase or novation of the Obligations.

(b)          Parallel Debt Undertaking. For the purposes of taking and ensuring the continuing validity of Liens under those Security Documents subject to the laws of (or to the extent affecting assets situated in) Germany, the Netherlands and such other jurisdictions as the Secured Parties and the Grantors (each acting reasonably) agree, notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Agreement:

(i)          each Grantor undertakes (such undertakings, the “Parallel Obligations”) to pay to the Collateral Agent amounts equal to all present and future amounts owing by it to the Secured Parties under the Loan Documents (“Original Obligations”);

(ii)          the Collateral Agent shall have its own independent right to demand and receive payment of the Parallel Obligations;

(iii)          the Parallel Obligations shall, subject to subsection (iv) below, not limit or affect the existence of the Original Obligations for which the Secured Parties shall have an independent right to demand payment;

(iv)          notwithstanding subsections (ii) and (iii) above, payment by a Grantor of its Parallel Obligations shall to the same extent decrease and be a good discharge of the corresponding Original Obligations owing to the relevant Secured Parties and payment by a Grantor of its Original Obligations to the relevant Secured Parties shall to the same extent decrease and be a good discharge of the Parallel Obligations owing by it to the Collateral Agent;

(v)          the Parallel Obligations are owed to the Collateral Agent in its capacity as Collateral Agent for the Secured Parties and not as agent or representative of any other person nor as trustee and the Parallel Debt Security shall secure the Parallel Obligations so owing;

(vi)          without limiting or affecting the Collateral Agent’s right to protect, preserve or enforce its rights under any Security Document, the Collateral Agent undertakes to each Secured Parties not to exercise its rights in respect of the Parallel Obligations without the consent of the relevant Secured Parties; and

(vii)          the Collateral Agent shall distribute any amount so received to the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Loan Agreement (subject, in each case, to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement) as if such amounts had been received in respect of the Original Obligations.

(c)          Release (Sicherheitenfreigabe). Upon complete and irrevocable satisfaction of the Secured Obligations, the Collateral Agent shall as soon as reasonably practical at the cost and expense of the Grantors release the Parallel Debt Undertaking.
