The Borrower unconditionally promises to pay to the Agent for the account of the Term Lenders equal quarterly principal installments of the Term Loans on the last day of each March, June, September and December, commencing on December 31, 2014, each such quarterly installment to be in the amount of 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans outstanding on the Closing Date.  The entire outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date.

Section 2.4.Evidence of Indebtedness.

(a)Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice appropriate records evidencing the Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and

41

interest payable thereon and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement. The Agent shall maintain appropriate records in which shall be recorded (i) the Term Loan Commitment of each Lender, (ii) the amount of each Loan made hereunder by each Lender, (iii) the date and amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder in respect of such Loans and (iv) both the date and amount of any sum received by the Agent hereunder from the Borrower in respect of the Loans and each Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. The entries made in such records shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; provided, that the failure or delay of any Lender or the Agent in maintaining or making entries into any such record or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans (both principal and unpaid accrued interest) of such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b)This Agreement evidences the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans and is being executed as a “noteless” credit agreement.  However, at the request of any Lender at any time, the Borrower agrees that it will execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note evidencing any Commitment of such Lender, payable to the order of such Lender.

Section 2.5.Optional Prepayments.

(a)On or prior to April 30, 2016, the Borrower shall not have the right to prepay all or any portion of the Term Loans.  The Borrower may, at its option, upon notice as provided herein, prepay, at any time following April 30, 2016, all or a portion of the Term Loans, plus the Prepayment Premium, to the extent applicable, plus the interest accrued and unpaid thereon.  In connection with any such prepayment, the Borrower shall give irrevocable written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) to the Agent no later than 11:00 a.m. not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the proposed date of such prepayment and the principal amount of the Term Loans or portion thereof to be prepaid, if any. Upon receipt of any such notice, the Agent shall promptly notify each affected Lender of the contents thereof and of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any such prepayment. If such notice is given, the aggregate amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date designated in such notice, together with accrued interest to such date on the amount so prepaid in accordance with Section 2.7(c); provided, that if any Term Loan is prepaid on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay all amounts required pursuant to Section 2.13. Each partial prepayment of any Loan shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000. Each prepayment shall be applied to the principal installments in inverse order of maturity.

(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing clause (a), the Borrower may prepay a portion of the Term Loan at any time prior to January 31, 2018 with Specified Sale Proceeds, without any prepayment premium but with any amount that may be required pursuant to Section 2.13; provided the amount of prepayments made pursuant to this clause (b) shall not exceed the Specified Sale Limit.

Section 2.6.Mandatory Prepayments.

42

(a)(i)Subject to the right to hold Net Cash Proceeds required to be prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.6(a) for reinvestment as provided below, the Borrower will make payments required by this Section 2.6(a) on the last Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter (each such date a “Disposition Prepayment Date”).  All Net Cash Proceeds required to be prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.6(a) shall at all times prior to the date of prepayment be deposited and held either in (x) the Collateral Account or (y) a 1031 exchange account as provided below.

(ii)The Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall pay to the Agent, as a prepayment of the Loans, the Net Cash Proceeds from (A) any sale or disposition by the Borrower or such Subsidiary of any property or assets or (B) receipt of any insurance or condemnation award with respect to the Collateral (in the cases of clauses (A) and (B), excluding (i) sales of assets in the ordinary course of business and (ii) sales of assets to the extent that the Net Cash Proceeds thereof are immediately deposited into the Collateral Account or a 1031 Exchange Account, in each case, to be reinvested (in 1031 exchanges of like-kind assets or otherwise, a “reinvestment”) within one hundred thirty-five (135) days following the first Disposition Prepayment Date occurring after the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds and are actually reinvested during such period, provided that (x) the Borrower notifies the Lead Lenders (or, if there are no Lead Lenders, the Agent) of its intent to reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds on or prior to the first Disposition Prepayment Date occurring after the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds and when such reinvestment occurs (such report to include the amounts invested in a 1031 Exchange Account and all additions and disbursements from such account), (y) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing at the time of sale of such property, at the time of reinvestment or at any time in between (and if any Default or Event of Default occurs while reinvestment is pending, the Net Cash Proceeds will be promptly applied to repay the Obligations) and (z) tractors and trailers each will be considered “like-kind” assets for each other). “Net Cash Proceeds” shall mean, with respect to any sale or disposition or the receipt of insurance or casualty awards, all proceeds received in exchange therefor, net of (x) commissions and other reasonable and customary sale preparation, collection costs, transaction costs, fees and expenses properly attributable to such transaction and payable by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in connection therewith (in each case, to the extent paid to non-Affiliates of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries), and tax obligations paid, accrued, or associated with the transactions generating such proceeds, and (y) any portion of such proceeds equal to the amount required to be and actually applied to pay Permitted Indebtedness that is secured by the asset sold or disposed of (regardless of whether those same proceeds were used to pay such Permitted Indebtedness).  Any such prepayments shall be applied in accordance with paragraph (e) below.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the dollar value attributed to receivables with respect to the Permitted Xpress Global Sale that are being transferred may be applied to the ABL Facility in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement on the date of closing of the Permitted Xpress Global Sale.

(b)If the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries issues any equity securities in exchange for cash (other than equity securities issued by a Subsidiary of the Borrower to the Borrower or another Subsidiary or sales of equity securities of the Borrower to employees as part of employee compensation) or issues any Indebtedness (excluding any Indebtedness otherwise permitted under Section 7.1), then no later than the Business Day

43

following the date of receipt of the proceeds thereof, Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an amount equal to all such proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and other reasonable costs paid to non-Affiliates in connection therewith. Any such prepayment shall be applied in accordance with paragraph (e) below.

(c)Within two Business Days of the date of receipt by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any Extraordinary Receipts, the Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans in accordance with paragraph (e) below in an amount equal to 100% of such Extraordinary Receipts.

(d)The Borrower shall, within two Business Days after the delivery of the financial information required under Section 5.1(a) with respect to each Fiscal Year (but in no event later than two Business Days after the date such information is required to be delivered), commencing with the delivery of the financial information with respect to Fiscal Year ending on December 31, 2014, prepay the Loans in an amount equal to the Excess Cash Flow for such Fiscal Year multiplied by the Applicable ECF Percentage for such Fiscal Year. Any such prepayment shall be applied in accordance with paragraph (f) below and shall not be subject to any prepayment premium.

(e)Any prepayments made pursuant to clauses (a), (b) or (c) above at any time prior to May 1, 2016 shall be made together with a prepayment premium of 5% and the interest accrued and unpaid on the Term Loans being prepaid.  Any prepayments made pursuant to clauses (a), (b) or (c) above at any time on or following May 1, 2016 shall be made together with the applicable Prepayment Premium and the interest accrued and unpaid on the Term Loans being prepaid; provided that mandatory prepayments of the Term Loan made at any time with Specified Sale Proceeds may be made without any prepayment premium but with any amounts that may be required pursuant to Section 2.13; provided, further, that such prepayments shall not exceed the Specified Sale Limit then in effect.

(f)Any prepayments made by the Borrower pursuant to Sections 2.6 (a), (b), (c) or (d) above shall be applied as follows: first, to Agent’s fees and reimbursable expenses then due and payable pursuant to any of the Loan Documents; second, to all reimbursable expenses of the Lenders, pro rata to the Lenders based on their respective pro rata shares of such expenses; third, to interest and fees then due and payable hereunder, pro rata to the Lenders based on their respective pro rata shares of such interest and fees; and fourth, to the principal balance of the Term Loans, until the same shall have been paid in full, pro rata to the Lenders based on their Pro Rata Shares of the Term Loans, and applied to installments of the Term Loans in inverse order of maturity.

(g)If, on any interest payment date, following the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, the aggregate amount that would be includible in income of a Lender with respect to a Loan for periods ending on or before such interest payment date (within the meaning of Section 163(i) of the Code) (the “Aggregate Accrual”) would exceed an amount equal to the sum of (x) the aggregate amount of interest to be paid (within the meaning of Section 163(i) of the Code) under the Loan on or before such interest payment date and (y) the product of (A) the issue price (as defined in Sections 1273(b) and 1274(a) of the Code) of the Loan and (B) the yield to maturity (interpreted in accordance with Section 163(i) of the Code) of the Loan (such

44

sum, the “Maximum Accrual”), then, on such interest payment date, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender an aggregate amount of cash equal to the excess, if any, of the Aggregate Accrual over the Maximum Accrual and the amount of such payment shall be treated for purposes of Section 163(i) of the Code as interest paid under the Loan.

Section 2.7.Interest on Loans.

(a)The Borrower shall pay interest on each Loan at the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time.  On any interest payment date, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, the Borrower may elect to pay in kind, in lieu of in cash, a portion of the interest then due in an amount up to the Margin PIK Component for such Interest Period.  The Borrower shall provide written notice of each such election to pay in kind to the Agent at least three (3) Business Days prior to the interest payment date.

(b)Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this Section, automatically if an Event of Default under Sections 8.1(a), (b), (g) or (h) has occurred and is continuing and at the option of the Required Lenders if any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower shall pay interest (“Default Interest”) with respect to all Loans at the rate per annum equal to 200 basis points above the otherwise applicable interest rate for such Loans.  At any time Default Interest is being charged pursuant to this clause (b), notwithstanding anything to the contrary in clause (a), the Borrower shall not be able to pay any portion of the interest then due in kind.

(c)Interest on the principal amount of all Loans shall accrue from and including the date such Loans are made to but excluding the date of any repayment thereof.  Interest on all outstanding Loans shall be payable on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and on the Maturity Date, and Margin PIK Component of the Applicable Margin, to the extent elected by the Borrower to be paid in kind pursuant to clause (a) above, shall be added to the principal amount on each such date. All Default Interest shall be payable on demand.  And interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof both before and after any judgment, and both before and after commencement of any proceeding relating to any Event of Default under Sections 8.1(g) and (h).

(d)The Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans hereunder and shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of such rate in writing (or by telephone, promptly confirmed in writing). Any such determination shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Section 2.8.Fees.  The Borrower shall pay to Wilmington Trust, National Association fees in the amounts and at the times set forth in the Agent Fee Letter.

Section 2.9.Computation of Interest and Fees.

All computations of interest and fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or fees are payable (to the extent computed on the basis of days elapsed). Each determination by the Agent of an interest amount or fee hereunder

45

shall be made in good faith and, except for manifest error, shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes.

Section 2.10.Inability to Determine Interest Rates. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Loan,

(i)the Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant interbank market, adequate means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for such Interest Period, or

(ii)the Agent shall have received notice from the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender, as the case may be) of making, funding or maintaining their (or its, as the case may be) Loans for such Interest Period,

the Agent shall give written notice (or telephonic notice, promptly confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and to the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. Until the Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) the obligations of the Lenders to continue outstanding Loans as or into Loans shall be suspended and (ii) all such affected Loans shall be converted into a Loan accruing interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto.  Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted.

Section 2.11.Illegality. If any Change in Law shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender to make, maintain or fund any Eurodollar Loan and such Lender shall so notify the Agent, the Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower and the other Lenders, whereupon until such Lender notifies the Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Lender to continue outstanding Loans as Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended and the affected Eurodollar Loan then outstanding shall be converted to a Loan either (i) on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Loan if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Loan to such date or (ii) immediately if such Lender shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loan to such date into a Loan accruing interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.  Upon any such conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the affected Lender shall, prior to giving such notice to the Agent, designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation would avoid the need for giving such notice and if such designation would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in the good faith exercise of its discretion.

Section 2.12.Increased Costs.

(a)If any Change in Law shall:

(i)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Adjusted

46

LIBO Rate hereunder 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 eurodollar interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or any Loans made by such Lender or any participation therein; or

(iii)subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than Indemnified Taxes and Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining a Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan or to reduce the amount received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then the Borrower shall pay, upon written notice from and demand by such Lender on the Borrower (with a copy of such notice and demand to the Agent), to such Lender, within five (5) Business Days after the date of such notice and demand, additional amount or amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b)If any Lender shall have determined that on or after the date of this Agreement 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 parent corporation) as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s parent corporation could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies or the policies of such Lender’s parent corporation with respect to capital adequacy) then, from time to time, within five (5) Business Days after receipt by the Borrower of written demand by such Lender (with a copy thereof to the Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s parent corporation for any such reduction suffered.

(c)A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Lender’s parent corporation, as the case may be, specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.12 shall be delivered to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) and shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(d)Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation.

Section 2.13.Funding Indemnity.  In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of a Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of a Eurodollar Loan in accordance with Sections 2.10 or 2.11 other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure by the Borrower to borrow or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any applicable notice (regardless of whether such notice is withdrawn or revoked),

47

then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender, within five (5) Business Days after written demand from such Lender, for any loss, cost or expense attributable to such event, or (d) any assignment of a Eurodollar Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the assignee pursuant to Sections 2.16 or 2.17.  Such loss, cost or expense shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (A) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Eurodollar Loan if such event had not occurred at the Adjusted LIBO Rate applicable to such Eurodollar 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 for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Eurodollar Loan) over (B) the amount of interest that would accrue on the principal amount of such Eurodollar Loan for the same period if the Adjusted LIBO Rate were set on the date on which the Borrower failed to borrow, convert or continue such Eurodollar Loan. A certificate as to any additional amount payable under this Section 2.13 submitted to the Borrower by any Lender (with a copy to the Agent) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

Section 2.14.Taxes.

(a)For purposes of this Section 2.14, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

(b)Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes; provided that if any applicable law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall make such deduction or withholding and timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower or other Loan Party, as applicable, shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made.

(c)In addition, without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section, the Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(d)The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within five (5) Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid or payable by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient (including Indemnified Taxes or Other 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 or Other 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 the applicable Recipient

48

(with a copy to the Agent in the case of a Recipient other than the Agent) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(e)As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower or any other Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower or other Loan Party, as applicable, shall deliver to the Agent an 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 Agent.

(f)Tax Forms.

(i)Any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent, on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), duly executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying, to the extent such Lender is legally entitled to do so, that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax.

(ii)Any Lender that is a Foreign Person and that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the Code or any treaty to which the United States is a party with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower and the 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 Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender that is a Foreign Person shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, (w) on or prior to the date such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement, (x) on or prior to the date on which any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it pursuant to this subsection, and (z) from time to time upon the reasonable request by the Borrower or the Agent, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the Borrower or the Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(A)if such Lender is claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, duly executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN, or any successor form thereto, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty, and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, duly executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN, or any successor form thereto, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(B)duly executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI, or any successor form thereto, certifying that the payments received by such Lender are

49

effectively connected with such Lender’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States;

(C)if such Lender is claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code, duly executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN, or any successor form thereto, together with a certificate (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) upon which such Lender certifies that (1) such Lender is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, or the obligation of the Borrower hereunder is not, with respect to such Lender, a loan agreement entered into in the ordinary course of its trade or business, within the meaning of that Section, (2) such Lender is not a 10% shareholder of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3) or Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, and (3) such Lender is not a controlled foreign corporation that is related to the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code; or

(D)if such Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, a partnership or a participating Lender granting a typical participation), duly executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, or any successor form thereto, accompanied by IRS Form W-9, IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable.

(iii)Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered under this Section expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect and such Lender is not legally entitled to provide an updated form or certification, it shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent of its inability to update such form or certification.

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

Section 2.15.Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.

(a)The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, or fees, or of amounts payable under Sections 2.12, 2.13 or 2.14, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon on the date when due, in immediately available

50

funds, free and clear of any defenses, rights of set-off, counterclaim, or withholding or deduction of taxes. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the sole discretion of the Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Agent at the Payment Office, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.12, 2.13 and 2.14 and 10.3 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be made payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in Dollars.

(b)If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the 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 setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it, resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:

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

(ii)the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) 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 thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).

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

51

Section 2.16.Mitigation of Obligations.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, 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 2.14, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) 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 sole judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable under Section 2.12 or Section 2.14, 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 costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with such designation or assignment.

Section 2.17.Replacement of Lenders.

(a)If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority of the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 10.4(b)) all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender); provided, that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of all Loans owed to it, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees (including fees pursuant to Section 2.13) and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (in the case of such outstanding principal and accrued interest) and from the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of a claim for compensation under Section 2.12, or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.14, such assignment will result in a 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, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

(b)If any Lender (such Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination that pursuant to the terms of Section 10.2 requires the consent of all Lenders or all affected Lenders and with respect to which the Required Lenders shall have granted their consent, then provided no Event of Default then exists, the Borrower shall have the right (unless such Non-Consenting Lender grants such consent) to replace such Non-Consenting Lender by requiring such Non-Consenting Lender to assign its Term Loans to one or more assignees reasonably acceptable to the Agent, provided that: (a) all Obligations of the Borrowers owing to such Non-Consenting Lender being replaced shall be paid in full to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such assignment, and (b) the replacement Lender shall purchase the foregoing by paying to such Non-Consenting Lender a price equal to the outstanding principal amount of all Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all fees (including fees pursuant to Section 2.13) associated with the assigned Obligations of such Non-Consenting Lenders. In connection with any such assignment, the Borrower, Agent, such Non-Consenting Lender and the replacement Lender shall otherwise comply with Section 10.4. To the extent that such Non-Consenting

52

Lender does not execute such assignment within three Business Days after delivery of the applicable assignment to such Non-Consenting Lender, the Agent shall have the authority to execute such assignment on behalf of such Non-Consenting Lender.

The hours worked and payments made to employees of Holdings, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable legal requirements, except to the extent such violations could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. All material payments due from Holdings, the Borrower or its Subsidiaries on account of wages and employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of Holdings and the Borrower, except where the failure to do so could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.  No Loan Party has any liability, including under any Employee Benefit Plan, arising out of the treatment of any service provider as a consultant or independent contractor and not as an employee that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Each Fiscal Quarter ending thereafter	1.050:1.0

Section 6.3.Consolidated Net Capital Expenditures.  The Borrower and its Subsidiaries will not permit Consolidated Net Capital Expenditures to exceed the amounts set forth in the table below for the fiscal year set forth in the table below opposite such amounts (for any given fiscal year, the “Capital Expenditure Limitation”):

Fiscal Year Ending	Maximum Consolidated Net Capital Expenditures
December 31, 2014	$	120,000,000
December 31, 2015	$	75,000,000
December 31, 2016	$	137,500,000
December 31, 2017	$	137,500,000
December 31, 2018 and each fiscal year thereafter	$	140,000,000

74

provided, that (a) so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, to the extent the Borrower and its Subsidiaries do not expend the entire Capital Expenditure Limitation in any fiscal year, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries may carry forward such unused amount to the immediately succeeding fiscal year and the unused amount carried forward shall be deemed to be expended last and (b) the Capital Expenditure Limitation will not apply for any Fiscal Year in which the Leverage Ratio as of the end of the prior Fiscal Year for the period of four Fiscal Quarters then ending is less than 4.00:1.00.  All Consolidated Capital Expenditures shall first be applied against the applicable Capital Expenditure Limitation and then to the carry-forward from the previous fiscal year, if any.  For purposes hereof “Consolidated Net Capital Expenditures” means, with respect to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for any fiscal period, the sum of, without duplication, all Capital Expenditures minus the net cash proceeds (including trade-in credits) of dispositions of such assets during such fiscal period.

Section 6.4.Adjusted Operating Ratio. The Borrower will maintain, as of the end of each Fiscal Quarter set forth in the table below, an Adjusted Operating Ratio for the period of four Fiscal Quarters then ending of not greater than:

Fiscal Quarter	Adjusted Operating Ratio
The Fiscal Quarter ending on December 31, 2014	98.0	%
The Fiscal Quarter ending on March 31, 2015	98.0	%
The Fiscal Quarter ending on June 30, 2015	98.0	%
The Fiscal Quarter ending on September 31, 2015	98.0	%
The Fiscal Quarter ending on December 31, 2015	97.5	%
The Fiscal Quarter ending on March 31, 2016	97.5	%
The Fiscal Quarter ending on June 30, 2016	97.5	%
The Fiscal Quarter ending on September 30, 2016	97.5	%
The Fiscal Quarter ending on December 31, 2016	97.0	%
Each Fiscal Quarter ending thereafter	97.0	%

Notwithstanding the foregoing, failure to maintain the minimum Adjusted Operating Ratio set forth in this Section 6.4 shall not be an Event of Default under this Agreement so long as within (30) thirty days after the Borrower first becomes aware of such failure the Borrower and the other Loan Parties shall have retained a financial consultant or advisor (an “Advisor”) from a list of potential Advisors proposed by the Lead Lenders (or if there is no Lead Lender at that time, the Agent acting at the direction of the Required Lenders), such Advisor to be retained pursuant to an engagement letter satisfactory in all respect to the Lead Lenders (or if there is no Lead

75

Lender at that time, the Agent acting at the direction of the Required Lenders).  The Borrower and the other Loan Parties shall cooperate fully with such Advisor and shall be responsible for all fees and expenses of such Advisor.  Such Advisor (or a replacement Advisor selected in the same manner as the initial Advisor and whose terms of engagement shall be satisfactory in all respects to the Lead Lenders (or if there is no Lead Lender at that time, the Agent acting at the direction of the Required Lenders)) shall thereafter be retained by the Borrower and the other Loan Parties until such time as the Adjusted Operating Ratio for each of the two most recent consecutive four Fiscal Quarter periods is in compliance with the required minimum Adjusted Operating Ratio set forth in this Section 6.4 for such Fiscal Quarters.

(a)[Reserved.]

(b)Any Loan Party may make Restricted Payments to current and former employees, officers or directors of such Loan Party (including any spouses, ex-spouses or estates of any of the foregoing, but excluding Permitted Shareholders) on account of redemptions of Equity Interests of such Loan Party held by such Persons (including, without limitation, such Restricted Payments made to satisfy any applicable tax withholding obligation on such Person with respect to the grant, vesting and/or exercise of such equity interests), provided that (i) such Restricted Payments are permitted by law, (ii) on the date any such Restricted Payment is made, and after giving effect thereto, no Default or Event of Default shall exist or shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom, and (iii) the aggregate amount of such Restricted Payments by any Loan Party during any calendar year occurring during the term of this

80

the Loan Documents; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the issuance by Holdings of guarantees in respect of leases or other financing documents of its subsidiaries that are customarily given by a “holding company” shall constitute an ordinary course transaction for purposes hereof.

Section 7.14.Employee Benefits.  Each Loan Party will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to:

(a)Terminate, or permit any ERISA Affiliate to terminate, any Pension Plan in a manner, or take any other action with respect to any Pension Plan, which could reasonably be expected to result in any liability of any Loan Party or ERISA Affiliate to the PBGC.

(b)second, to all reimbursable expenses, if any, of the Lenders then due and payable pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, until the same shall have been paid in full, and, if such moneys shall be insufficient to pay such amounts in full, then ratably (without priority of any one over any other) to such Lenders in proportion to the unpaid amounts thereof;

ARTICLE IX

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 9.1.Appointment of Agent.

(a)Each Lender irrevocably appoints Wilmington Trust, National Association as the Agent and authorizes it to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with all such actions and powers that are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder or under the other Loan Documents by or through any one or more sub-agents or attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Agent. The Agent and any such sub-agent or attorney-in-fact may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions set forth in this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent or attorney-in-fact and the Related Parties of the Agent, any such sub-agent and any such attorney-in-fact and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent.

Section 9.2.Nature of Duties of Agent. The Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except those discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the 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 10.2), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the 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 Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Agent

86

shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it, its sub-agents or attorneys-in-fact 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 10.2) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof (which notice shall include an express reference to such event being a “Default” or “Event of Default” hereunder) is given to the Agent by a Loan Party or any Lender, and the 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 hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements, or other terms and conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (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 III or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agent. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower) concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.

Section 9.3.Lack of Reliance on the Agent. Each of the Lenders acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the 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 of the Lenders also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking any action under or based on this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Section 9.4.Certain Rights of the Agent. If the Agent shall request instructions from the Required Lenders with respect to any action or actions (including the failure to act) in connection with this Agreement, the Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such act, unless and until it shall have received instructions from such Lenders; and the Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Agent as a result of the Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders where required by the terms of this Agreement.

Section 9.5.Reliance by Agent. The 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 (including any electronic message, posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person. The Agent may also 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 Agent may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower), independent public 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 such counsel, accountants or experts.

87

Section 9.6.The Agent in its Individual Capacity.  If the entity serving as the Agent is a Lender hereunder, then it shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and any other Loan Document in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it were not the Agent; and the terms “Lenders”, “Required Lenders”, or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Agent in its individual capacity. The bank acting as the Agent 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 Affiliate of the Borrower as if it were not the Agent hereunder.

Section 9.7.Successor Agent.

(a)The Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent, subject to approval by the Borrower provided that no Default or Event of Default shall exist at such time (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).  If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof or a bank which maintains an office in the United States, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. No Person shall become a successor Agent unless and until it has agreed in writing to be bound by the terms and provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement as if such Person were an original party thereto and delivered a copy of such writing to the ABL Agent.

(b)Upon the acceptance of its appointment as the Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. If within 45 days after written notice is given of the retiring Agent’s resignation under this Section 9.7 no successor Agent shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment, then on such 45th day (i) the retiring Agent’s resignation shall become effective, (ii) the retiring Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents and (iii) the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all duties of the retiring Agent under the Loan Documents until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided above. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent and its representatives and agents in respect of any actions taken or not taken by any of them while it was serving as the Agent.

(c)The Required Lenders may at any time by written notice thereof to the Agent and the Borrower remove the Agent.  The Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), to appoint a successor.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and

88

obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section).  After the removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents by the retiring Agent, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.3 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent and its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as Agent.

(d)Notwithstanding the foregoing clauses (b) and (c), a retiring Agent shall continue in its obligations to hold collateral security on behalf of the Secured Parties until such time as a successor Agent is appointed.  Upon the appointment of such successor Agent, the retiring Agent shall deliver all collateral then in its possession to such successor Agent, and assist such successor Agent in transferring, amending or otherwise updating any public filings made to perfect or otherwise make public the security interests and Liens of the Agents and the other holders of the Obligations.

Section 9.8.Withholding Tax. Each Lender shall indemnify the Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes attributable to such Lender (to the extent that the Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.4(e) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this subsection.

Section 9.9.Agent May File Proofs of Claim.

(a)In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(i)to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Agent and its agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Agent under Section 10.3) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

89

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

(b)Any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Agent and, if the Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Agent under Section 10.3.

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

Section 9.10.Collateral Documents. The Agent is hereby authorized to enter into the Collateral Documents (including without limitation supplements to the Guaranty and Security Agreement) and the parties hereto acknowledge that such Collateral Documents are binding upon them. Each Lender hereby authorizes and instructs the Agent to enter into the Collateral Documents.

Section 9.11.Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Agent, at its option and in its discretion:

(a)to release any Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by the Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted) and the termination of all Commitments hereunder or (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 10.2; and

(b)to release any Loan Party from its obligations under the applicable Collateral Documents if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder.

Upon request by the Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Agent’s authority to release its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Loan Party from its obligations under the applicable Collateral Documents pursuant to this Section 9.11. In each case as specified in this Section 9.11, the Agent is authorized, at the Borrower’s expense, to execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the Liens granted under the applicable Collateral Documents, or to release such Loan Party from its obligations under the applicable Collateral Documents, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section.

Section 9.12.Right to Realize on Collateral and Enforce Guarantee. Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower, the Agent and each Lender hereby agree that (i) no Lender shall have any right

90

individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Collateral Documents, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder under the Collateral Documents may be exercised solely by the Agent, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure by the Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and the Agent, as agent for and representative of the Lenders (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Agent at such sale or other disposition.

Section 9.13.No Reliance on Administrative Agent’s Customer Identification Program. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates nor any Participant, may rely on the Agent to carry out such Lender’s, Affiliate’s or Participant’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA PATRIOT Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with any of the Loan Parties, their Affiliates or their agents, the Loan Documents, the Transactions or the other transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (a) identity verification procedures; (b) recordkeeping; (c) comparisons with government lists; (d) customer notices; or (e) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other laws.

Section 10.2.Waiver; Amendments.

(a)No failure or delay by the Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or any other Loan Document, and no course of dealing between the Borrower and the Agent or any Lender, 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 right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power hereunder or thereunder. The rights and remedies of the Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 10.2, 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 or Event of Default, regardless of whether the Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time.

93

(b)No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, nor consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or the Borrower and the Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, that no amendment or waiver shall: (i) reduce the principal amount of any Loan, reduce the rate of interest thereon or reduce the applicable Margin Cash Component or Margin PIK Component, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (ii) postpone the date fixed for any payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Loan or interest thereon or any fees hereunder or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment (excluding any mandatory prepayments required under Section 2.6, which shall require the consent of the Required Lenders), or postpone the Maturity Date, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) change Section 2.15(b) or (c) or Section 8.2 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, (iv) change any of the provisions of this Section 10.2 or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders which are required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the consent of each Lender; (v) release any Loan Party or limit the liability of any such Loan Party under any Loan Document (except in a transaction expressly permitted by this Agreement), without the written consent of each Lender; or (vi) release all or substantially all collateral (if any) securing any of the Obligations or agree to subordinate any Lien in such collateral to any other creditor of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, without the written consent of each Lender; provided further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights, duties or obligations of the Agent without the prior written consent of the Agent.

Section 10.3.Expenses; Indemnification.

(a)The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agent, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, any due diligence conducted by the Agent or any Lender in respect of the transactions contemplated herein, the negotiation, preparation and administration of the Loan Documents and any amendments, modifications or waivers thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be consummated), including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Agent, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates, and all fees, charges and disbursements of appraisals, field examinations, audits and third party consultants incurred by the Agent or any Lender and (ii) all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of (a) one firm of counsel to the Lenders and (b) a single local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction or other reasonably necessary local or specialty counsel retained after consultation with the Borrower) incurred by the Agent or any Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section 10.3, or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans.

94

(b)The Borrower shall indemnify the Agent (and any sub-agent or attorney in fact thereof) and each Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (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), and shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from all fees and time charges and disbursements for attorneys who may be employees of any Indemnitee, incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) the use by any Person of any information or materials obtained through Intralinks, Syndtrak or any other Internet or intranet website, (iv) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (v) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, 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 (x) 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 (y) result from a claim brought by the Borrower or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, in either case so long as the Borrower or such Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through Intralinks, Syndtrak or any other Internet or intranet website, except as a result of such Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment.

(c)The Borrower shall pay, and hold the Agent and each of the Lenders harmless from and against, any and all present and future stamp, documentary, and other similar taxes with respect to this Agreement and any other Loan Documents, any Collateral described therein, or any payments due thereunder, and save the Agent and each Lender harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay or omission to pay such taxes.

(d)To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid to the Agent under clauses (a), (b) or (c) hereof, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided, that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified payment, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Agent in its capacity as such.

95

(e)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 actual or direct damages) arising out of, in connection with or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated therein, any Loan or the use of proceeds thereof.

(f)All amounts due under this Section 10.3 shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor.

Section 10.4.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 the Agent and each Lender, and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (d) of this Section or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of paragraph (g) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto 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, Participants to the extent provided in paragraph (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b)Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitments and Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i)Minimum Amounts.

(A)in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or any accounts or clients managed, advised or sub-advised by a Lender, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B)in any case not described in paragraph (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Acceptance, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $1,000,000, unless each of the Agent and, so long as no Event of

96

Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

(ii)Required Consents.

(A) The consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is of a Term Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or any accounts or clients that invest in, or are managed, advised or sub-advised by, a Lender.

(B)  The consent of each Lead Lender (or if there is no Lead Lender, the Agent), such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, shall be required for assignments to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or any accounts or clients that invest in, or are managed, advised or sub-advised by, a Lender.

(iii)Assignment and Acceptance. The parties to each assignment shall deliver to the Agent (A) a duly executed Assignment and Acceptance, (B) a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, (C) an Administrative Questionnaire unless the assignee is already a Lender and (D) the documents required under Section 2.14.

(iv)No Assignment to Borrower. No such assignment shall be made to the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

(v)No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Agent pursuant to subsection (c) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 10.3 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. 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 subsection (d) below. If the consent of the Borrower to an assignment is required hereunder (including a consent to an assignment which does not meet the minimum assignment thresholds specified above), the Borrower shall be deemed to have given

97

its consent five Business Days after the date notice thereof has actually been delivered by the assigning Lender (through the Agent) to the Borrower, unless such consent is expressly refused by the Borrower prior to such fifth Business Day.

(c)The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). Information contained in the Register with respect to any Lender shall be available for inspection by such Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice; information contained in the Register shall also be available for inspection by the Borrower at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In establishing and maintaining the Register, Agent shall serve as Borrower’s agent solely for tax purposes and solely with respect to the actions described in this Section, and the Borrower hereby agrees that, to the extent Wilmington Trust, National Association. serves in such capacity, Wilmington Trust, National Association and its officers, directors, employees, agents, sub-agents and affiliates shall constitute “Indemnitees.”

(d)Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); 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 Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

(e)Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; 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 with respect to the following to the extent affecting such Participant: (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, (iii) postpone the date fixed for any payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Loan or interest thereon or any fees hereunder or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date for the termination or reduction of any Commitment, (iv) change Section 2.15(b) or (c) or Section 8.2 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, (v) change any of the provisions of this Section 10.4 or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders which are required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, (vi) release any Loan Party or limit the liability of any such Loan Party under any Loan Document (except in a transaction expressly permitted by this Agreement); or (vii) release all or substantially all collateral (if any) securing any of the Obligations. Subject to paragraph (e) of this Section 10.4, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.13,

98

and 2.14 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 10.4; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.16 as though it were a Lender. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.7 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.15 as though it were a Lender.

Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register in the United States on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. 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 2.12 and Section 2.14 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.14 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 2.14(f) and (g) as though it were a Lender.

(g)Any Lender may 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 without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

Section 10.5.Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

(a)THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT (EXCEPT, AS TO ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH THEREIN) AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY THE LAW (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF EXCEPT FOR SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW) OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

99

Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the 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 irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding described in paragraph (b) of this Section 10.5 and brought in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 10.5. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable 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 the service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.1. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

Section 10.6.WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

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 AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

100

Section 10.7.        Right of Setoff. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, each Lender shall have the right, at any time or from time to time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply against all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) of the Borrower at any time held or other obligations at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all Obligations held by such Lender irrespective of whether such Lender shall have made demand hereunder and although such Obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender agree promptly to notify the Agent and the Borrower after any such set-off and any application made by such Lender; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. Each Lender agrees to apply all amounts collected from any such set-off to the Obligations before applying such amounts to any other Indebtedness or other obligations owed by the Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries to such Lender.

Section 10.8.        Counterparts; Integration. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement, the Agent Fee Letter, the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreement(s) relating to any fees payable to the Agent and its affiliates constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto and thereto regarding the subject matters hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, regarding such subject matters. Delivery of an executed counterpart to this Agreement or any other Loan Document by facsimile transmission or by electronic mail in pdf format shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

Section 10.9.        Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the 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. The provisions of Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14 and 10.3 and Article IX shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. All representations and warranties made herein, in the certificates, reports, notices, and other documents delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the making of the Loans.

Section 10.10.      Severability. Any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability without affecting the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof or thereof; and

101

the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 10.11.      Confidentiality. Each of the Agent and the Lenders agrees to take normal and reasonable precautions to maintain the confidentiality of any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, to the extent designated in writing as confidential and provided to it by the Borrower or any Subsidiary, other than any such information that is available to the Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, except that such information may be disclosed (i) to any Related Party of the Agent or any such Lender, including, without limitation, accountants, legal counsel and other advisors, (ii) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iii) to the extent requested by any regulatory agency or authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (iv) to the extent that such information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.11, or which becomes available to the Agent, any Lender or any Related Party of any of the foregoing on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Documents or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (vii) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.11, to (A) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, or (B) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap or derivative or similar transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, (viii) any rating agency, (ix) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar organization, or (x) with the consent of the Borrower. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of any information as provided for in this Section 10.11 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 its own confidential information.

Section 10.12.      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 may be treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate of interest (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by a 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 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 10.12 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 Rate to the date of repayment (to the extent permitted by applicable law), shall have been received by such Lender.

102

Section 10.13.      Corporate Seal. The Borrower represents and warrants that neither it nor any other Loan Party is required to affix its corporate seal to this Agreement or any other Loan Document pursuant to any Requirement of Law.

Section 10.14.      Patriot Act. The Agent and each Lender hereby notifies the Loan Parties that, pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of such Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Agent, as applicable, to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the Patriot Act.

Section 10.15.      No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Borrower and each other Loan Party acknowledges and agrees and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding that (i) (A) the services regarding this Agreement provided by the Agent and/or the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower, each other Loan Party and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, (B) each of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they have deemed appropriate, and (C) the Borrower and each other Loan Party is capable of evaluating and understanding, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) each of the Agent and the Lenders is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Person, and (B) neither the Agent nor any Lender has any obligation to the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their Affiliates with respect to the transaction contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Agent, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower, the other Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates, and each of the Agent and the Lenders has no obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Agent or any Lender with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

Accident Related Claims/Litigation
Claim#	DOL	Description/Status	Incurred		Paid		Outstanding		Recovery
03-11-USX-009923 Open	11/1/2003	USX pulled out in front of a motorcycle, resulting in multiple injuries to cyclist’s leg. Open for MI PIP payments only. PIP payments totaled $1,244 in 2012 and $39,619.24 in 2013.	$	1,250,587	$	1,222,122	$	28,465	$	292,132
10-05-USX-005258 Open	5/9/2010	USX rear-ended several stopped vehicles on the interstate, resulting in the death of two brothers (ages 11 and 15), head injuries to a third brother (age 17) and their mother, and minor injuries to seven others. All claims have settled with one exception. The remaining claim (Annie Primus) involves a shoulder injury, which has now required two surgeries, and a neck injury that has now reportedly required surgery (unconfirmed). The claim was in litigation, but has been dismissed without prejudice while the claimant continues treating medically.	$	4,013,893	$	3,858,228	$	155,665	0
12-11-USX-012778 Open	11/2/2012	USX failed to stop for prior accident and struck three stopped vehicles. We settled the driver and passenger of one vehicle (Kim and Mark Dejmek) for $215,000 in February. Remaining claimants are 61 y/o woman with compound fractures to both arms and both legs, a 54 y/o male with herniated disks from C4-C7 and a mild concussion, and a minor passenger that sustained minor injuries. Two cases are pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas at Houston.	$	1,387,604	$	308,895	$	1,078,709	$	7,242
13-09-USX-011402 Open	9/29/2013	A passenger vehicle driven by 22 year-old Ashley Kelly entered a construction zone and lost control for unknown reasons, striking concrete barrier and coming to rest in center lane of travel. A second passenger vehicle, driven by 21 y/o Zachary Byrd stopped in the right lane of travel to assist. USX was traveling in the construction zone and struck both passenger vehicles. At the time of the collision, Ms. Kelly was outside of her vehicle talking to Mr. Byrd and his 21 y/o brother- in-law, James Harrison, and she was thrown across the roadway by the impact. Ms. Kelly sustained multiple facial fractures, lost and broken teeth, a fractured pelvis, a leg injury requiring surgery, multiple fractures to her right arm, right dislocated shoulder and elbow, and a lacerated liver. Mr. Byrd sustained multiple injuries, including significant brain injuries. Although he appears to be making a good recovery, Mr. Byrd spent several weeks in a coma and is expected to have permanent mental impairments as a result of his injuries, although the degree of such impairments is not yet known. Mr. Harrison died at the scene as a result of the injuries he sustained in the accident. He was unmarried and without dependent children. Litigation is pending in the Court of Common Pleas for Hamilton County, Ohio on behalf of Mr. Byrd and Mr. Harrison. USX has filed a counterclaim for contribution against Ms. Kelly.	$	2,584,300	$	65,011	$	2,519,289	0
10-08-at-001316	8/26/2010	USX failed to yield to oncoming traffic at a controlled intersection and was struck by passenger vehicle that had the right of way. 31 y/o driver of passenger vehicle sustained fractured clavicle, soft tissue injuries to neck and back and torn meniscus in knee. Although there was no evidence of loss of consciousness, head injury, or lung injury, Claimant is now alleging that seizures and hospitalizations for pneumothorax that occurred two years post accident are related, and is claiming post concussive disorder, traumatic brain injury and chronic collapsed lung	$	335,236	$	63,882	$	271,354	0

Schedule 4.6(b)-2

		as the result of the accident. Lung issues appear to be related to chronic COPD. Last demand at mediation was $1.95M. Case is pending in the USDC for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division. Trial set for  8/12/2014.
10-11-usx-013120	11/30/2010	USX turned left in front of pick-up truck which struck USX’s passenger side trailer. Relatively minor injuries to both occupants of pick-up. Claimant passenger in pick-up sustained a broken arm, was treated and released at the emergency room, and died later that night. Autopsy described cause of death as complications related to obesity, to morphine administration, and to blunt force trauma. Medical evidence is supportive that claimant was likely discharged from the hospital before his oxygen levels stabilized. The full value of the case is in the $1M range before apportionment of fault to the hospital. Case is currently pending in Superior Court of Jackson County, Georgia.	$	561,423	$	55,001	$	506,422
11-09-usx-009763	9/4/2011	USX was stopped in stop-and-go traffic on Cross Bronx Expressway in far left, no-truck lane. Motorcyclist was weaving in and out of traffic and riding the dividing lines. Motorcycle struck the rear of an SUV stopped in the center lane, and the 29 y/o cyclist was ejected forward from the bike and landed in front of USX trailer tandems. USX was unaware of the events that occurred behind him and pulled forward over the cyclist, resulting in his death. USX driver citied for traveling in No Truck lane. Litigation is pending on behalf of two minor children of decedent in Supreme Court of New York, County of Bronx. Last demand was “something more than $1 Million”.	$	540,000	$	34,568	$	505,432
12-02-xcc-000083	2/10/2012	USX contractor made lane change to the right, striking passenger vehicle (V2), which then crossed the median and struck a second passenger vehicle (V3) head on, resulting in death of the 24 y/o female driver of V2. The 23 y/o female driver of V3 sustained multiple fractures to right foot and leg, and her claim settled for $250,000. 22 y/o passenger of V3 sustained minor injuries and settled for $5,783. With regard to the fatality, there have been competing court cases, both brought in State Court for Fulton County, Georgia, by her father as personal representative of the estate (the correct party to bring wrongful death action under Florida law, but not under Georgia law) and by her estranged husband (the appropriate representative for the wrongful death action under Georgia law, but not under Florida law). The father’s lawsuit has been dismissed for forum non conveniens, and we have a tentative conditional settlement with the estranged husband for $500,000 under Georgia law. The settlement would be contingent on all claims of other parties remaining dismissed based on the ultimate dismissal with prejudice of the estranged husband’s proper case in Georgia.	$	853,016	$	350,637	$	502,379
13-12-usx-014662	12/15/2013	USX turning left from central turn lane into small road when struck in the rear trailer tandems by a passenger vehicle traveling in the far right-hand lane in the opposite direction. Resulted in the death of 33 y/o LPN. Case is pending in Circuit Court for Mississippi County, Arkansas. Final demand at 4/10/2014 mediation was $9.9M.	$	135,209	$	29,727	$	105,482

Schedule 4.6(b)-3

14-04-usx-003630 4/3/2014 USX trainee driver crossed the center median on I-74 and struck a Fed Ex truck and an Illinois DOT truck head on. The 33 y/o driver of the Fed Ex truck sustained multiple fractures to both legs and to an arm and underwent several surgeries. The 27 y/o driver of the IL DOT truck sustained a head injury of unknown severity. We know that his mother has now been appointed as his guardian, but very little else. Both claimants are represented but the case is not yet in litigation. USX driver was cited for Failure to Maintain Lane, Failure to Maintain Vehicle, and Improperly Crossing the Center Median. $ 926,000 $ 2,108 $ 923,892

Employee and Labor Matters

The plaintiff’s attorney in the Bolden wage and hour matter disclosed on Schedule 4.6(b) has threatened to file an unfair labor charge against U.S. Xpress, Inc., arising from U.S. Xpress Inc.’s affirmative defense in such case stating that any class action should not include applicants after February 2013 who signed the optional arbitration agreement with a class action waiver, although the agreement specifically excludes any claims/litigation related to NLRA protected activity.  Although the unfair labor charge may not result in a Material Adverse Effect, if the class of plaintiffs in the class action were expanded, such expansion may result in a Material Adverse Effect.
