(i)    all Indebtedness (x) (other than revolving Indebtedness, except to the extent same is incurred to refinance other outstanding Indebtedness or to finance a Permitted Acquisition) incurred or issued after the first day of the relevant Test Period (whether incurred to finance a Permitted Acquisition, to refinance Indebtedness or otherwise) shall be deemed to have been incurred or issued (and the proceeds thereof applied) on the first day of the respective Test Period and remain outstanding through the date of determination and (y) (other than revolving Indebtedness except to the extent accompanied by a corresponding permanent commitment reduction) permanently retired or redeemed after the first day of the relevant Test Period shall be deemed to have been retired or redeemed on the first day of the respective Test Period and remain retired through the date of determination;

(ii)    all Indebtedness assumed to be outstanding pursuant to immediately preceding clause (i) shall be deemed to have borne interest at (x) the rate applicable thereto, in the case of fixed

51

rate indebtedness, or (y) at the rate which would have been applicable thereto on the last day of the respective Test Period, in the case of floating rate Indebtedness (although interest expense with respect to any Indebtedness for periods while same was actually outstanding during the respective period shall be calculated using the actual rates applicable thereto while same was actually outstanding);

(iii)    in making any determination of Consolidated EBITDA, proforma effect shall be given to any disposition of assets constituting a business unit, division, product line, line of business, manufacturing facility or distribution facility of Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary or of the Equity Interests of any Subsidiary of Parent consummated during the periods described above, with such Consolidated EBITDA to be determined as if such disposition (or the relevant portion thereof) was consummated on the first day of the relevant Test Period. Proforma calculations for any fiscal period ending on or prior to the first anniversary of a disposition of assets constituting a business unit, division, product line, line of business, manufacturing facility or distribution facility of Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary or of the Equity Interests of any Subsidiary of Parent may offset operating expense reductions or other operating improvements or synergies reasonably expected to result from a disposition (less the amount of costs reasonably expected to be incurred by Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries to achieve such cost savings) against reductions in Consolidated EBITDA attributable to such a disposition, to the extent that Parent delivers to the Agent, (i) a certificate of the chief financial officer or chief accounting officer of Parent setting forth such operating expense reductions and the costs to achieve such reductions and (ii) information and calculations supporting in reasonable detail such estimated operating expense reductions and the costs to achieve such reductions; provided that any increase in Consolidated EBITDA as a result of cost savings, operating expense reductions, other operating improvements and synergies shall be subject to the limitations set forth in the definition of Consolidated EBITDA;

(iv)    in making any determination of Consolidated EBITDA, proforma effect shall be given to any Permitted Acquisition consummated during the periods described above (excluding that portion of the assets or business acquired pursuant to any Permitted Acquisition which has been sold or disposed of thereafter and prior to the date of the respective determination), with such Consolidated EBITDA to be determined as if such Permitted Acquisition (or the relevant portion thereof) was consummated on the first day of the relevant Test Period. Proforma calculations for any fiscal period ending on or prior to the first anniversary of a Permitted Acquisition may include adjustments to reflect operating expense reductions or other operating improvements or synergies reasonably expected to result from such Permitted Acquisition, less the amount of costs reasonably expected to be incurred by Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries to achieve such cost savings, to the extent that Parent delivers to the Agent, (i) a certificate of the chief financial officer or chief accounting officer of Parent setting forth such operating expense reductions and the costs to achieve such reductions and (ii) information and calculations supporting in reasonable detail such estimated operating expense reductions and the costs to achieve such reductions; provided that any increase in Consolidated EBITDA as a result of cost savings, operating expense reductions, other operating improvements and synergies shall be subject to the limitations set forth in the definition of Consolidated EBITDA; and

(v)        in making any determination of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, in the event that Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries incurs, assumes, guarantees, repays, repurchases, redeems, defeases or otherwise discharges any Indebtedness (other than in the case of revolving credit borrowings, in which case interest expense will be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the Test Period), and solely for purposes of Section 10.11, in a principal

52

amount in excess of $10,000,000, in each case, subsequent to the commencement of the period for which the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is being calculated and on or prior to the date on which the event for which the calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is made (the “Calculation Date”), then the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio will be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis as if such incurrence, assumption, guarantee, repayment, repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other discharge of Indebtedness, and the use of the proceeds therefrom, had occurred at the beginning of the Test Period.

For purposes of this definition, if any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being calculated on a Pro Forma Basis, the interest on such Indebtedness will be calculated as if the rate in effect on the Calculation Date had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any hedging obligations applicable to such Indebtedness if such hedging obligations have a remaining term in excess of 12 months as of the Calculation Date). For purposes of this definition, interest on a Capitalized Lease Obligation will be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a Responsible Officer of Parent to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease Obligation in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For purposes of making the computation referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis will be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, will be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as Parent may designate.

(c)    with respect to all other matters and for all other matters as to a particular Lender (including the indemnification obligations arising under Section 13.01 of this Agreement), the percentage obtained by dividing (i) the Loan Exposure of such Lender by (ii) the aggregate Loan Exposure of all Lenders, in any such case as the applicable percentage may be adjusted by assignments permitted pursuant to Section 13.04; provided, that if all of the Loans have been repaid in full, all Letters of Credit have been made the subject of Letter of Credit Collateralization, and all Commitments have been terminated, Pro Rata Share under this clause shall be determined as if the Loan Exposures had not been repaid, collateralized, or terminated and shall be based upon the Loan Exposures as they existed immediately prior to their repayment, collateralization, or termination.

Section 2.Amount and Terms of Credit.

2.01    Commitments.

Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make Loans to the Borrowers, at any time and from time to time on and after the Closing Date until the earlier of one Business Day prior to the Maturity Date and the termination of the Commitment of such Lender in accordance with the terms hereof, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in such Lender’s Revolving Exposure exceeding the lesser of (A) such Lender’s Commitment, and (B) such Lender’s Pro Rata Share multiplied by the Borrowing Base then in effect. Within the limits set forth above and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein, the Borrowers may borrow, pay or prepay and re-borrow Loans. All Borrowers shall be jointly and severally liable as borrowers for all Loans regardless of which Borrower receives the proceeds thereof.

2.02    Loans.

(a)Each Loan (other than Swingline Loans) shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their applicable Commitments; provided that the failure of any Lender to make any Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender). Except for Loans deemed made pursuant to Section 2.02(f), Loans (other than Swingline Loans) comprising any Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (i) (A) in the case of Base Rate Loans, not less than $500,000 and (B) in the case of LIBO Rate Loans, an integral multiple of $250,000 and not less than $1,000,000, or (ii) equal to the remaining available balance of the applicable Commitments.

(b)Subject to Section 3.01, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of Base Rate Loans or LIBO Rate Loans as the Lead Borrower may request pursuant to Section 2.03. Each Lender may at its option make any LIBO Rate Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or cause the Borrowers to pay additional amounts pursuant to Section 3.01. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; providedfurther that the Borrowers shall not be entitled to request any Borrowing that, if made, would result in more than ten Borrowings of LIBO Rate Loans outstanding hereunder at any one time. For purposes of the foregoing, Borrowings having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether they commence on the same date, shall be considered separate Borrowings.

(c)Except with respect to Loans deemed made pursuant to Section 2.02(f), each Lender shall make each Loan (other than Swingline Loans) to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account in New York City as the Agent may designate not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, and the Agent shall promptly credit the amounts so received to an account as directed by the Lead Borrower in the applicable Notice of Borrowing maintained with the Agent or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein specified shall not have been met or waived, return the amounts so received to the respective Lenders.

(d)Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with paragraph (c) above, and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available

62

to the applicable Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If the Agent shall have so made funds available then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Agent, such Lender and the Lead Borrower severally agree to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the such Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Agent at (i) in the case of the Lead Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, a rate determined by the Agent to represent its cost of overnight or short-term funds (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error). If such Lender shall repay to the Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

(e)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Lead Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date.

(f)If the Issuing Bank shall not have received from the Lead Borrower the payment required to be made by Section 2.13(e) within the time specified in such Section, the Issuing Bank will promptly notify the Agent of the Letter of Credit Disbursement and the Agent will promptly notify each Lender of such Letter of Credit Disbursement and its Pro Rata Share thereof. Each Lender shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Agent on such date (or, if such Lender shall have received such notice later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, on any day, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the immediately following Business Day), an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Letter of Credit Disbursement (it being understood that such amount shall be deemed to constitute a Base Rate Loan of such Lender, and such payment shall be deemed to have reduced the Letter of Credit Exposure), and the Agent will promptly pay to the Issuing Bank amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Agent will promptly pay to the Issuing Bank any amounts received by it from the Lead Borrower pursuant to Section 2.13(e) prior to the time that any Lender makes any payment pursuant to this paragraph (f); any such amounts received by the Agent thereafter will be promptly remitted by the Agent to the Lenders that shall have made such payments and to the Issuing Bank, as their interests may appear. If any Lender shall not have made its Pro Rata Share of such Letter of Credit Disbursement available to the Agent as provided above, such Lender and the Lead Borrower severally agree to pay interest on such amount, for each day from and including the date such amount is required to be paid in accordance with this paragraph (f) to but excluding the date such amount is paid, to the Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank at (i) in the case of the Lead Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to Loans pursuant to Section 2.06(a), and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Base Rate.

(g)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Lender may exchange, continue or rollover all of the portion of its Loans in connection with any refinancing, extension, loan modification or similar transaction permitted by the terms of this Agreement, pursuant to a cashless settlement mechanism approved by the Lead Borrower, the Agent and such Lender.

2.03    Borrowing Procedure. To request a Borrowing, the Lead Borrower shall notify the Agent of such request by telecopy or electronic transmission (if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Agent, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) or telephone (promptly confirmed by telecopy) (i) in the case of a Borrowing of LIBO Rate Loans, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (ii) in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans), not later than 12:00 p.m. (noon), New York City time, on the Business Day of the proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable, subject to Sections 2.09 and 3.01, and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Agent

63

of a written Notice of Borrowing in a form approved by the Agent and signed by the Lead Borrower. Each such telephonic and written Notice of Borrowing shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(a)    the aggregate amount of such Borrowing;

(b)    the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

(c)    whether such Borrowing is to be a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or a Borrowing of LIBO Rate Loans;

(d)    in the case of a Borrowing of LIBO Rate Loans, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period” and in compliance with Section 2.02(e);

(e)    the location and number of the account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.02; and

(f)    that the conditions set forth in Section 6 or Section 7, as applicable, have been satisfied or waived as of the date of such notice.

If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Borrowing of LIBO Rate Loans, then the Lead Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration (subject to compliance with Section 2.02(e)). Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section 2.03, the Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

2.04    Evidence of Debt; Repayment of Loans.

(a)Each Borrower, jointly and severally, hereby unconditionally promises to pay on the Maturity Date (i) to the Agent for the account of each Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of each Loan of such Lender, (ii) to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan and (iii) all other Obligations.

(b)Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement. The Lead Borrower shall be entitled to review records of such accounts with reasonable prior notice during normal business hours.

(c)The Agent shall maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to each Lender hereunder, and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender. The Lead Borrower shall be entitled to review records of such accounts with reasonable prior notice during normal business hours.

64

(d)The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to immediately preceding paragraphs (b) and (c) shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations therein recorded absent manifest error; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrowers to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms.

(e)Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the applicable Borrower shall promptly prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1 or Exhibit B-2, as applicable.

2.05    Fees.

(a)Unused Line Fee. The Borrowers shall, jointly and severally, pay to the Agent, for the pro rata benefit of the Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender), a fee equal to the Applicable Unused Line Fee Percentage multiplied by the amount by which the Commitments (other than Commitments of a Defaulting Lender) exceed the average daily balance of outstanding Loans (other than Swingline Loans) and stated amount of outstanding Letters of Credit during any calendar quarter (such fee, the “Unused Line Fee”). Such fee shall accrue commencing on the Closing Date, and will be payable in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter thereafter.

(c)Letter of Credit and Fronting Fees. The Borrowers, jointly and severally, agree to pay (i) to the Agent for the account of each Lender a participation fee (“Letter of Credit Fee”) with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at a rate equal to the Applicable Margin from time to time used to determine the interest rate on LIBO Rate Loans pursuant to Section 2.06, on the average daily amount of such Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed Letter of Credit Disbursements) during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any Letter of Credit Exposure, and (ii) to each Issuing Bank (x) a fronting fee (“Fronting Fee”), which shall accrue, at a rate of 0.125% per annum on the average daily aggregate face amount of the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Commitments and the date on which all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank cease to be outstanding and all reimbursement obligations in respect thereof have been satisfied, as well as (y) such Issuing Bank’s customary fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder as agreed between the Lead Borrower and the Issuing Bank from time to time. Letter of Credit Fees and Fronting Fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the first day of the subsequent calendar quarter, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand; providedfurther, that upon the termination of any Letter of Credit by its terms, all Letter of Credit Fees accrued with respect to such Letter of Credit shall be due and payable as of the date of such termination. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 30 days after written demand. All Letter of Credit Fees and Fronting Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360

65

days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day and, except as set forth above in this paragraph, the last day).

(d)Payment of Fees. All fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Agent for distribution among the Lenders (other than Defaulting Lenders) pursuant to their respective Pro Rata Shares, except that the Fronting Fees shall be paid directly to the Issuing Bank. Once paid, none of the fees shall be refundable under any circumstances.

2.06    Interest on Loans.

(a)Subject to the provisions of Section 2.06(c), the Loans comprising each Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, including each Swingline Loan, shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time.

(b)Subject to the provisions of Section 2.06(c), the Loans comprising each Borrowing of LIBO Rate Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time.

(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fees or other amount payable by the Borrowers hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of, or interest on, any Loan, 2.00% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2.00% plus the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans.

(d)(i)  Accrued interest on each Base Rate Loan shall be payable in arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter occurring after the Closing Date, on the Maturity Date and, in the case of Loans, upon termination of the Commitments prior to the Maturity Date; and

(ii)     Accrued interest on each LIBO Rate Loan shall be payable in arrears (x) on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto and, if such Interest Period is longer than 3 months, on each date during such Interest Period occurring every 3 months from the first day of such Interest Period, and (y) in the case of Loans, upon termination of the Commitments prior to the Maturity Date;

provided that (A) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 2.06 shall be payable on demand and, absent demand, as provided in this Section 2.06(d), (B) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of a Base Rate Loan prior to end of the Revolving Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (C) in the event of any conversion of any LIBO Rate Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(e)All interest and fees hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Base Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365/366 days, and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day and the last day, other than, in respect of any Loan, Letter of Credit, Letter of Credit Disbursement, Commitment or other Obligation (in the event of a prepayment or repayment of any Loan or Letter of Credit Disbursement or any Commitment termination, subject to Section 2.10(a)) the last day that such Loan, Letter of Credit, Letter of Credit Disbursement, Commitment or other Obligation is outstanding). The applicable Base Rate

66

or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

2.07    Termination and Reduction of Commitments.

(a)The Commitments shall automatically terminate on the Maturity Date.

(b)The Lead Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments; provided that (i) any such reduction shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 (and any integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof) (or, if less, the then aggregate amount of the Commitments) and (ii) the Commitments shall not be terminated or reduced if after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.09, the Aggregate Exposures would exceed the Aggregate Commitments.

(c)The Lead Borrower shall notify the Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Aggregate Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section 2.07 at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Lead Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.07 shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination or reduction of the Commitments under this Section 2.07 may state that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more events specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Lead Borrower (by notice to the Agent at any time on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any effectuated termination or reduction of the Aggregate Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Aggregate Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments.

2.08    Interest Elections.

(a)Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Notice of Borrowing and, in the case of a Borrowing of LIBO Rate Loans, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Notice of Borrowing. Thereafter, the Lead Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Borrowing of LIBO Rate Loans, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.08. The Lead Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Lead Borrower shall not be entitled to request any conversion or continuation that, if made, would result in more than ten Borrowings of LIBO Rate Loans outstanding hereunder at any one time. This Section 2.08 shall not apply to Swingline Loans, which may not be converted or continued.

(b)To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.08, the Lead Borrower shall notify the Agent of such election by telephone or electronic transmission (if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Agent, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) by the time that a Notice of Borrowing would be required under Section 2.03 if the Lead Borrower was requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election, subject to Section 3.05. Each such telephonic Notice of Conversion/Continuation shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Agent of a written Notice of Conversion/Continuation substantially in the form of Exhibit A-2, unless otherwise agreed to by the Agent and the Lead Borrower.

67

(c)Each telephonic and written Notice of Conversion/Continuation shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i)    the Borrowing to which such Notice of Conversion/Continuation applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) immediately below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii)    the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Notice of Conversion/Continuation, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii)    whether the resulting Borrowing is to be a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or a Borrowing of LIBO Rate Loans; and

(iv)    if the resulting Borrowing is a Borrowing of LIBO Rate Loans, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period.”

If any such Notice of Conversion/Continuation requests a Borrowing of LIBO Rate Loans but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Lead Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(d)Promptly following receipt of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, the Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e)If a Notice of Conversion/Continuation with respect to a Borrowing of LIBO Rate Loans is not timely delivered prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Lead Borrower, then, after the occurrence and during the continuance of such Event of Default (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Borrowing of LIBO Rate Loans and (ii) unless repaid, each Borrowing of LIBO Rate Loans shall be converted to a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

2.09    Optional and Mandatory Prepayments of Loans.

(a)Optional Prepayments. The Lead Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay, without premium or penalty, any Borrowing, in whole or in part, subject to the requirements of this Section 2.09; provided that each partial prepayment shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000.

(b)Loan Prepayments.

(v)    In the event of the termination of all the Commitments, the Lead Borrower shall, on the date of such termination, repay or prepay all the outstanding Borrowings and all outstanding Swingline Loans and Cash Collateralize or backstop on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Agent the Letter of Credit Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.13(j).

68

(vi)    In the event of any partial reduction of the Commitments, then (A) at or prior to the effective date of such reduction, the Agent shall notify the Lead Borrower and the Lenders of the Aggregate Exposures after giving effect thereto and (B) if the Aggregate Exposures would exceed the Line Cap then in effect, after giving effect to such reduction, then the Lead Borrower shall, on the date of such reduction (or, if such reduction is due to the imposition of new Borrowing Base Reserves or a change in the methodology of calculating existing Borrowing Base Reserves, within five Business Days following such notice), first, repay or prepay all Swingline Loans (or the relevant portion thereof), second, repay or prepay Borrowings and third, replace or Cash Collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.13(j), in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

(vii)    In the event that the Aggregate Exposures at any time exceeds the Line Cap then in effect, the Lead Borrower shall, within 1 Business Day of receiving demand, apply an amount equal to such excess to prepay the Loans and any interest accrued thereon, in accordance with this Section 2.09(b)(iii). The Lead Borrower shall, first, repay or prepay all Swingline Loans (or relevant portion thereof), second, repay or prepay Borrowings, and third, replace or Cash Collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.13(j), in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess. The Agent may determine the Aggregate Exposures hereunder from time to time, including, without limitation, on each Exposure Determination Date.

(viii)    In the event that the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposure of all Lenders exceeds the Letter of Credit Sub-Limit then in effect, the Lead Borrower shall, without notice or demand, immediately replace or Cash Collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.13(j), in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

(ix)    In the event that the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposure of all Lenders in respect of Letters of Credit outstanding in a Committed Foreign Currency exceeds the Letter of Credit Foreign Currency Sub-Limit then in effect, the Lead Borrower shall, without notice or demand, immediately replace or Cash Collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.13(j), in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

(c)Application of Prepayments.

(i)    Prior to any optional or mandatory prepayment of Borrowings hereunder, the Lead Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and shall specify such selection in the notice of such prepayment pursuant to paragraph (i) of this Section 2.09(c). Unless during a Liquidity Period, except as provided in Section 2.09(b)(iii) hereof, all mandatory prepayments shall be applied as follows: first, to fees and reimbursable expenses of the Agent then due and payable pursuant to the Loan Documents; second, to interest then due and payable on the Borrowers’ Swingline Loans; third, to the principal balance of the Swingline Loan outstanding until the same has been prepaid in full; fourth, to interest then due and payable on the Loans and other amounts due pursuant to Sections 3.02 and 5.01; fifth, to the principal balance of the Loans until the same have been prepaid in full; sixth, to Cash Collateralize all Letter of Credit Exposureplusany accrued and unpaid interest thereon (to be held and applied in accordance with Section 2.13(j) hereof); seventh, to all other Obligations pro rata in accordance with the amounts that such Lender certifies is outstanding; and eighth, as required by the Intercreditor Agreement, any Additional Debt Intercreditor Agreement or any Permitted Junior Debt Intercreditor Agreement or, in the absence of any such requirement, returned to the Lead Borrower or to such party as otherwise required by law.

69

(ii)    Amounts to be applied pursuant to this Section 2.09 to the prepayment of Loans shall be applied, as applicable, first to reduce outstanding Base Rate Loans. Any amounts remaining after each such application shall be applied to prepay LIBO Rate Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the amount of any prepayment of Loans required under this Section 2.09 shall be in excess of the amount of the Base Rate Loans at the time outstanding, only the portion of the amount of such prepayment that is equal to the amount of such outstanding Base Rate Loans shall be immediately prepaid and, at the election of the Lead Borrower, the balance of such required prepayment shall be either (A) deposited in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and applied to the prepayment of LIBO Rate Loans on the last day of the then next-expiring Interest Period for LIBO Rate Loans (with all interest accruing thereon for the account of the Lead Borrower) or (B) prepaid immediately, together with any amounts owing to the Lenders under Section 2.10. Notwithstanding any such deposit in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, interest shall continue to accrue on such Loans until prepayment.

(d)Notice of Prepayment. The Lead Borrower shall notify the Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Borrowing of LIBO Rate Loans, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of prepayment or (iii) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment. Each notice of prepayment pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable, except that the Lead Borrower may, by subsequent notice to the Agent, revoke any such notice of prepayment if such notice of revocation is received not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the day on which such prepayment is scheduled to occur (and a notice of prepayment may state that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more events specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Lead Borrower (by notice to the Agent at any time on or prior to the specified date of prepayment) if such condition is not satisfied) and, provided that (i) the Lead Borrower reimburses each Lender pursuant to Section 3.02 for any funding losses within 30 days after receiving written demand therefor and (ii) the amount of Loans as to which such revocation applies shall be deemed converted to (or continued as, as applicable) Base Rate Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.08 as of the date of notice of revocation (subject to subsequent conversion in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement). Promptly following receipt of any such notice (other than a notice relating solely to Swingline Loans), the Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.06.

2.10    Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set‑offs.

(a)Each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of Letter of Credit Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Sections 3.01, 3.02 and 5.01 or otherwise) at or before the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the reasonable 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 20975 Swenson Dr., Waukesha, WI, 53186, Attn: Chiquita Loan Operations, except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 3.01, 3.02, 5.01 and 13.01 shall be made to the Agent for the benefit of to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Agent for the benefit of the Persons specified therein. 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 under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments under each Loan Document 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, unreimbursed Letter of Credit Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied in the manner as provided in Section 2.09(c) or 11.11 hereof, as applicable, ratably among the parties entitled thereto.

(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 its Loans or participations in Letter of Credit Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in Letter of Credit Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in Letter of Credit Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in Letter of Credit Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by any Loan Party pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in Letter of Credit Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to Parent or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Each of Parent and 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 the Loan Parties rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of a Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

(d)Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Lead Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank hereunder that the Lead Borrower will not make such payment, the Agent may assume that the Lead Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Lead Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

71

(e)If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.02(c), 2.02(f), 2.10(d), 2.12(d) or 2.13(d), then the Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

2.11    Defaulting Lenders.

(a)Reallocation of Pro Rata Share; Amendments. For purposes of determining the Lenders’ obligations to fund or acquire participations in Loans or Letters of Credit, the Agent shall exclude the Commitments and Loans of any Defaulting Lender(s) from the calculation of Pro Rata Shares. A Defaulting Lender shall have no right to vote on any amendment, waiver or other modification of a Loan Document, except as provided in Section 13.10(e).

(b)Payments; Fees. The Agent may, in its discretion, receive and retain any amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender under the Loan Documents, and a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have assigned to the Agent such amounts until all Obligations owing to the Agent, Non-Defaulting Lenders and other Secured Parties have been paid in full. The Agent may apply such amounts to the Defaulting Lender’s defaulted obligations, use the funds to Cash Collateralize such Lender’s Fronting Exposure, or re-advance the amounts to the Lead Borrower hereunder. A Lender shall not be entitled to receive any fees accruing hereunder during the period in which it is a Defaulting Lender, and the unfunded portion of its Commitment shall be disregarded for purposes of calculating the Unused Line Fee under Section 2.05(a). To the extent any Letter of Credit Obligations owing to a Defaulted Lender are reallocated to other Lenders, Letter of Credit Fees attributable to such Letter of Credit Obligations under Section 2.05(c) accruing on and after the date of such reallocation shall be paid to such other Lenders. The Agent shall be paid all Letter of Credit Fees attributable to Letter of Credit Obligations that are not so reallocated.

(c)Cure. The Lead Borrower, the Agent and each Issuing Bank may agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender. At such time, Pro Rata Shares shall be reallocated without exclusion of such Lender’s Commitments and Loans, and all outstanding Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations and other exposures under the Commitments shall be reallocated among Lenders and settled by the Agent (with appropriate payments by the reinstated Lender) in accordance with the readjusted Pro Rata Shares. Unless expressly agreed by the Lead Borrower, the Agent and each Issuing Bank, no reinstatement of a Defaulting Lender shall constitute a waiver or release of claims against such Lender. The failure of any Lender to fund a Loan, to make a payment in respect of Letter of Credit Obligations or otherwise to perform its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations, and no Lender shall be responsible for default by another Lender.

2.12    Swingline Loans.

(a)Swingline Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, make Swingline Loans to the Lead Borrower from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding $25,000,000 (the “Swingline Sub-Limit”) or (ii) the Aggregate Exposures exceeding the lesser of (A) the Aggregate Commitments and (B) the Borrowing Base then in effect; provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Lead Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Swingline Loans.

72

(b)Swingline Loans. To request a Swingline Loan, the Lead Borrower shall notify the Agent of such request by telephone (confirmed by telecopy), not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swingline Loan. The Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of any such notice received from the Lead Borrower. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the Lead Borrower by means of a credit to the general deposit account of the Lead Borrower with the Swingline Lender (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an Letter of Credit Disbursement as provided in Section 2.13(e), by remittance to the Issuing Bank) by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan. The Lead Borrower shall not request a Swingline Loan if at the time of and immediately after giving effect to such request a Default has occurred and is continuing. All Swingline Loans shall be Base Rate Loans and shall be made in minimum amounts of $100,000 and in integral multiples of $50,000 thereafter.

(c)Prepayment. The Lead Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to repay, without premium or penalty, any Swingline Loan, in whole or in part, upon giving written or telecopy notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by written, or telecopy notice) to the Swingline Lender and to the Agent before 3:00 p.m., New York City time on the date of repayment at the Swingline Lender’s address for notices specified in the Swingline Lender’s administrative questionnaire. All principal payments of Swingline Loans shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid to the date of payment.

(d)Participations. The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Agent not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day require the Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Agent will give notice thereof to each Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Aggregate Commitments or whether an Overadvance exists or is created thereby, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever (provided that such payment shall not cause such Lender’s Revolving Exposure to exceed such Lender’s Commitment). Each Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02(f) with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.02 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Agent shall notify the Lead Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Lead Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Lead Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Agent; any such amounts received by the Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve any Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.

73

(e)If the Maturity Date shall have occurred at a time when Extended Commitments are in effect, then on the Maturity Date all then outstanding Swingline Loans shall be repaid in full on such date (and there shall be no adjustment to the participations in such Swingline Loans as a result of the occurrence of such Maturity Date); provided that, if on the occurrence of the Maturity Date (after giving effect to any repayments of Loans and any reallocation of Letter of Loan Participations as contemplated in Section 2.13(o)), there shall exist sufficient unutilized Extended Commitments so that the respective outstanding Swingline Loans could be incurred pursuant to the Extended Commitments which will remain in effect after the occurrence of the Maturity Date, then there shall be an automatic adjustment on such date of the participations in such Swingline Loans and same shall be deemed to have been incurred solely pursuant to the Extended Commitments and such Swingline Loans shall not be so required to be repaid in full on the Maturity Date.

2.13    Letters of Credit.

(a)General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Lead Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for the Lead Borrower’s account or the account of Parent or a Subsidiary of the Lead Borrower in a form reasonably acceptable to the Agent and the Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period (provided that the Lead Borrower shall be a co-applicant with respect to each Letter of Credit issued for the account of or in favor of Parent or a Subsidiary). In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Lead Borrower to, or entered into by the Lead Borrower with, the Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. Each Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed, for all purposes of this Agreement (including paragraphs (d) and (e) of this Section 2.13), to be a Letter of Credit issued hereunder for the account of the Lead Borrower (or Parent or the applicable Subsidiary of the Lead Borrower specified therein).

(b)Request for Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit, the Lead Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) a request (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank and the Agent) to the Issuing Bank and the Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the second Business Day preceding the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (or such later date and time as is reasonably acceptable to the Issuing Bank). A request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank: (i) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (ii) the amount thereof; (iii) the expiry date thereof; (iv) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (v) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (vi) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder, and (vii) such other matters as the Issuing Bank may reasonably require. A request for an amendment, renewal or extension of any outstanding Letter of Credit shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank (w) the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended; (x) the proposed date of amendment, renewal or extension thereof (which shall be a Business Day), (y) the nature of the proposed amendment, renewal or extension, and (z) such other matters as the Issuing Bank may reasonably require. If requested by the Issuing Bank, the Lead Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application substantially on the Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Lead Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant (solely in the case of (w) and (x)) that, after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) (A) the Letter of Credit Exposure shall not exceed $70,000,000, (B) the total Revolving

74

Exposures shall not exceed the lesser of (1) the total Commitments and (2) the Borrowing Base then in effect and (C) if a Defaulting Lender exists, either such Lender or the Lead Borrower has entered into arrangements satisfactory to the Agent and Issuing Bank to eliminate any Fronting Exposure associated with such Lender. Unless the Issuing Bank shall otherwise agree, no Letter of Credit shall be denominated in a currency other than Dollars.

(c)Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of the date which is one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or such other longer period of time as the Agent (it being understood that the Agent has agreed to any existing later terms in respect of Existing Letters of Credit set forth on Schedule 1.01C) and the applicable Issuing Bank may agree and, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one (1) year after such renewal or extension) and, unless Cash Collateralized or otherwise credit supported to the reasonable satisfaction of the Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank (in which case the expiry may extend no longer than twelve months after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date) the Letter of Credit Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit may, upon the request of the Lead Borrower, include a provision whereby such Letter of Credit shall be renewed automatically for additional consecutive periods of twelve (12) months or less (but, subject to the foregoing, not beyond the date that is after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date) unless the applicable Issuing Bank notifies the beneficiary thereof at least thirty (30) days prior to the then-applicable expiration date that such Letter of Credit will not be renewed.

(d)Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (including the Existing Letters of Credit), or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof (including the prior issuance of the Existing Letters of Credit), and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each Letter of Credit Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Lead Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.13, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Lead Borrower for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Aggregate Commitments or whether or not an Overadvance exists or is created thereby, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e)Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any Letter of Credit Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Lead Borrower shall reimburse such Letter of Credit Disbursement by paying to the Issuing Bank an amount equal to such Letter of Credit Disbursement not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day after receiving notice from the Issuing Bank of such Letter of Credit Disbursement; provided that, whether or not the Lead Borrower submits a Notice of Borrowing, the Lead Borrower shall be deemed to have requested (except to the extent the Lead Borrower makes payment to reimburse such Letter of Credit Disbursement when due) a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in an amount necessary to reimburse such Letter of Credit Disbursement. If the Lead Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Issuing Bank shall notify the Agent and the Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable Letter of Credit Disbursement, the payment then due from the Lead Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Agent its Pro Rata Share of the unreimbursed Letter of Credit Disbursement in the same manner as provided

75

in Section 2.02(f) with respect to Loans made by such Lender, and the Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Agent of any payment from the Lead Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Agent shall, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank, distribute such payment to such Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any Letter of Credit Disbursement (other than the funding of Base Rate Loans or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Lead Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Letter of Credit Disbursement.

(f)Obligations Absolute.

(i)    Subject to the limitations set forth below, the obligation of the Lead Borrower to reimburse Letter of Credit Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.13 shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, (iv) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Lead Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, or (v) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.13, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the obligations of the Lead Borrower hereunder; provided that the Lead Borrower shall have no obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank to the extent that such payment was made in error due to the gross negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or another independent tribunal having jurisdiction). Neither the Agent, the Lenders nor the Issuing Bank, nor any of their Affiliates, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Lead Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Lead Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Lead Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence, willful misconduct, or bad faith on the part of the Issuing Bank (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or another independent tribunal having jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

76

(ii)    The Issuing Bank does not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by the Lead Borrower or other Person of any obligations under any Letter of Credit Document. The Issuing Bank does not make to the Lenders any express or implied warranty, representation or guaranty with respect to the Collateral, such documents or any Loan Party. The Issuing Bank shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in, or for the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of any Letter of Credit Document; the validity, genuineness, enforceability, collectibility, value or sufficiency of any Collateral or the perfection of any Lien therein; or the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any Loan Party.

(iii)    No Issuing Bank or any of its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and investment advisors shall be liable to any Lender or other Person for any action taken or omitted to be taken in connection with any Letter of Credit Documents except as a result of its actual gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment. The Issuing Bank shall not have any liability to any Lender if the Issuing Bank refrains from any action under any Letter of Credit or such Letter of Credit Documents until it receives written instructions from the Required Lenders.

(g)Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Agent and the Lead Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an Letter of Credit Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Lead Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such Letter of Credit Disbursement (other than with respect to the timing of such reimbursement obligation set forth in Section 2.13(e)).

(h)Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any Letter of Credit Disbursement, then, unless the Lead Borrower shall reimburse such Letter of Credit Disbursement in full on the date such Letter of Credit Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such Letter of Credit Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Lead Borrower reimburses such Letter of Credit Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to Base Rate Loans; provided that, if the Lead Borrower fails to reimburse such Letter of Credit Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 2.13, then Section 2.06(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 2.13 to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i)Resignation or Removal of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may resign as Issuing Bank hereunder at any time upon at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Lenders, the Agent and the Lead Borrower. The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by agreement between the Lead Borrower and the Agent, provided that so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, such successor Issuing Bank shall be reasonably acceptable to the Lead Borrower. One or more Lenders may be appointed as additional Issuing Banks in accordance with paragraph (k) below. The Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank or any such additional Issuing Bank. At the time any such resignation or replacement shall become effective, the Lead Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.05(c). From and after the effective date of any such resignation or replacement or addition, as applicable, (i) the successor or additional Issuing Bank shall have all the rights

77

and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or such addition or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor or such additional Issuing Bank and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the resignation or replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation or replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. If at any time there is more than one Issuing Bank hereunder, the Lead Borrower may, in its discretion, select which Issuing Bank is to issue any particular Letter of Credit.

(j)Cash Collateralization.

(i)    If any Specified Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Lead Borrower receives notice from the Agent (acting at the request of the Required Lenders) demanding the deposit of Cash Collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Lead Borrower shall deposit in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, in the name of the Agent and for the benefit of the Secured Parties, an amount in cash equal to 100.00% of the Letter of Credit Exposure as of such date. Each such deposit shall be held by the Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Lead Borrower under this Agreement, but shall be immediately released and returned to the Lead Borrower (in no event later than two (2) Business Days) once all Specified Events of Default are cured or waived. The Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made only in Cash Equivalents and at the direction of the Lead Borrower and at the Lead Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for Letter of Credit Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Lead Borrower for the Letter of Credit Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with Letter of Credit Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total Letter of Credit Exposure), be applied to satisfy other Obligations of the Lead Borrower.

(ii)    The Lead Borrower shall, on demand by the Issuing Bank or the Agent from time to time, Cash Collateralize the Fronting Exposure associated with any Defaulting Lender, which Cash Collateral shall be immediately released and returned to the Lead Borrower (in no event later than two (2) Business Days) after such Lender has ceased to be a Defaulting Lender.

(k)Additional Issuing Banks. The Lead Borrower may, at any time and from time to time with the consent of the Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and such Lender, designate one or more additional Lenders to act as an issuing bank under the terms of this Agreement. Any Lender designated as an issuing bank pursuant to this paragraph (k) shall be deemed (in addition to being a Lender) to be the Issuing Bank with respect to Letters of Credit issued or to be issued by such Lender, and all references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the term “Issuing Bank” shall, with respect to such Letters of Credit, be deemed to refer to such Lender in its capacity as Issuing Bank, as the context shall require. In addition, all references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the term "Issuing Bank" or "the Issuing Bank" (including without limitation any references to required consents of Issuing Bank or the Issuing Bank) shall, with respect to the Existing Letters of Credit, be deemed to refer to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association in its capacity as Issuing Bank.

78

(l)Limitations on Issuance Obligations. The Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

(i)    any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to the Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that the Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it; or

(ii)    the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the Issuing Bank.

(m)No Obligation to Amend. The Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (i) the Issuing Bank would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (ii) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

(n)Letter of Credit Collateral Account.

(i)    The Agent is hereby authorized to establish and maintain at the Notice Office, in the name of the Agent and pursuant to a dominion and control agreement, a restricted deposit account designated “The Lead Borrower Letter of Credit Collateral Account.” Each Loan Party shall deposit into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account from time to time the Cash Collateral required to be deposited under Section 2.13(j) hereof.

(ii)    The balance from time to time in such Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall constitute part of the Collateral and shall not constitute payment of the Obligations until applied as hereinafter provided. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, all amounts held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall constitute collateral security first for the liabilities in respect of Letters of Credit outstanding from time to time and second for the other Obligations hereunder until such time as all Letters of Credit shall have been terminated and all of the liabilities in respect of Letters of Credit have been paid in full. All funds in “The Lead Borrower Letter of Credit Collateral Account” may be invested in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.13(j).

(o)Extended Commitments. If the Maturity Date shall have occurred at a time when Extended Commitments are in effect, then (i) such Letters of Credit shall automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the Lenders to purchase participations therein and to make payments in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.13(d) and (e)) under (and ratably participated in by Lenders) the Extended Commitments, up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of the unutilized Extended Commitments thereunder at such time (it being understood that no partial face amount of any Letter of Credit may be so reallocated) and (ii) to the extent not reallocated pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (i), the Borrowers shall Cash Collateralize any such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 2.13(j). Except to the extent of reallocations of participations pursuant to the prior sentence, the occurrence of the Maturity Date with respect to Existing Loans shall have no effect upon (and shall not

79

diminish) the percentage participations of the Lenders of Extended Loans in any Letter of Credit issued before the Maturity Date.

2.14    Settlement Amongst Lenders.

(a)The Swingline Lender may, at any time (but, in any event shall weekly), on behalf of the Lead Borrower (which hereby authorizes the Swingline Lender to act on its behalf in that regard) request the Agent to cause the Lenders to make a Loan (which shall be a Base Rate Loan) in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding amount of Swingline Loans, which request may be made regardless of whether the conditions set forth in Section 7 have been satisfied. Upon such request, each Lender shall make available to the Agent the proceeds of such Loan for the account of the Swingline Lender. If the Swingline Lender requires a Loan to be made by the Lenders and the request therefor is received prior to 12:00 Noon on a Business Day, such transfers shall be made in immediately available funds no later than 3:00 p.m. that day; and, if the request therefor is received after 12:00 Noon, then no later than 3:00 p.m. on the next Business Day. The obligation of each such Lender to transfer such funds is irrevocable, unconditional and without recourse to or warranty by the Agent or the Swingline Lender. If and to the extent any Lender shall not have so made its transfer to the Agent, such Lender agrees to pay to the Agent, forthwith on demand, such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

(b)The amount of each Lender’s Pro Rata Share of outstanding Loans (including outstanding Swingline Loans) shall be computed weekly (or more frequently in the Agent’s discretion) and shall be adjusted upward or downward based on all Loans (including Swingline Loans) and repayments of Loans (including Swingline Loans) received by the Agent as of 3:00 p.m. on the first Business Day (such date, the “Settlement Date”) following the end of the period specified by the Agent.

(c)The Agent shall deliver to each of the Lenders promptly after a Settlement Date a summary statement of the amount of outstanding Loans (including Swingline Loans) for the period and the amount of repayments received for the period. As reflected on the summary statement, (i) the Agent shall transfer to each Lender its applicable Pro Rata Share of repayments, and (ii) each Lender shall transfer to the Agent (as provided below) or the Agent shall transfer to each Lender, such amounts as are necessary to insure that, after giving effect to all such transfers, the amount of Loans made by each Lender with respect to Loans to the Borrowers (including Swingline Loans) shall be equal to such Lender’s applicable Pro Rata Share of Loans (including Swingline Loans) outstanding as of such Settlement Date. If the summary statement requires transfers to be made to the Agent by the Lenders and is received prior to 12:00 Noon on a Business Day, such transfers shall be made in immediately available funds no later than 3:00 p.m. that day; and, if received after 12:00 Noon, then no later than 3:00 p.m. on the next Business Day. The obligation of each Lender to transfer such funds is irrevocable, unconditional and without recourse to or warranty by the Agent. If and to the extent any Lender shall not have so made its transfer to the Agent, such Lender agrees to pay to the Agent, forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

2.15    Commitment Increase.

(a)Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, after the Closing Date, the Lead Borrower shall have the right to request, by written notice to the Agent, an increase in the Commitments (a “Commitment Increase”) in an aggregate amount not to exceed $50,000,000; provided that (a) such Commitment Increase is permitted under the 7.875% Senior Notes Indenture and (b) any Commitment Increase shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $10,000,000.

80

(b)Each notice submitted pursuant to this Section 2.15 (a “Commitment Increase Notice”) requesting a Commitment Increase shall specify (i) the date on which the Lead Borrower proposes that the Commitment Increase shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than five Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Agent) after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Agent, (ii) the amount of the Commitment Increase being requested, (iii) the identity of each Person proposed to become an Increase Loan Lender in connection therewith (it being agreed that (A) any Lender approached to provide any Commitment Increase may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Commitment Increase and (B) any Person that the Lead Borrower proposes to be an Increase Loan Lender, if such Person is not then a Lender, must be an Eligible Transferee and, if such consent would then be required pursuant to the definition of Eligible Transferee for an assignment to such Person of a Commitment or Loan, shall be subject to the written consent of the Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and (iv) in no event shall a Defaulting Lender be entitled to participate in such Commitment Increase. In the event that any Lender or other Person agrees to participate in any Commitment Increase (each an “Increase Loan Lender”), such Commitment Increase shall become effective on such date as shall be mutually agreed upon by the Increase Loan Lenders and the Lead Borrower, which date shall be as soon as practicable after the date of receipt of the Commitment Increase Notice (such date, the “Increase Date”); provided that the establishment of such Commitment Increase shall be subject to the satisfaction of each of the following conditions: (1) no Default or Event of Default exists and is continuing or would exist after giving effect thereto; (2) each of the representations and warranties made by any Loan Party set forth in Section 8 hereof or in any other Loan Document shall be true and correct in all material respects (without duplication of any materiality standard set forth in any such representation or warranty) on and as of the date of such Commitment Increase with the same effect as though made on and as of such date, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such date (without duplication of any materiality standard set forth in any such representation or warranty); (3) other than with respect to such Increase Loan Lenders that are Lenders prior to the applicable Increase Date, the Commitment Increase shall be effected pursuant to one or more joinder agreements executed and delivered by the Lead Borrower, the Agent, and the Increase Loan Lenders, each of which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Lead Borrower, the Agent, and the Increase Loan Lenders; (4) Loan Parties shall execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered to the Agent such amendments to the Loan Documents, legal opinions and other documents as the Agent may reasonably request in connection with any such transaction, which amendments, legal opinions and other documents shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Agent; and (5) the Borrowers shall have paid to the Agent and the Lenders such additional fees as may be agreed to be paid by the Borrowers in connection therewith.

(c)On the Increase Date, upon fulfillment of the conditions set forth in this Section 2.15, (i) the Agent shall effect a settlement of all outstanding Loans among the Lenders that will reflect the adjustments to the Commitments of the Lenders as a result of the Commitment Increase, (ii) the Agent shall notify the Lenders and Loan Parties of the occurrence of the Commitment Increase to be effected on the Increase Date, (iii) Schedule 2.01 shall be deemed modified to reflect the revised Commitments of the affected Lenders and (iv) Notes will be issued, at the expense of the Borrowers, to any Lender participating in the Commitment Increase and requesting a Note.

(d)The terms and provisions of the Commitment Increase shall be identical to the Loans and the Commitments, after giving effect to any amendments thereto, and, for purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, all Loans made under the Commitment Increase shall be deemed to be Loans. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) the rate of interest applicable to the Commitment Increase shall be the same as the rate of interest applicable to the existing Loans, (ii) unused line fees applicable to the Commitment Increase shall be calculated using the same Applicable Unused Line Fee Percentage

81

applicable to the existing Loans, (iii) the Commitment Increase shall share ratably in any mandatory prepayments of the Loans, (iv) after giving effect to such Commitment Increases, Commitments shall be reduced based on each Lender’s Pro Rata Share, (v) the Commitment Increase shall rank paripassu in right of payment and security with the existing Loans and shall be secured by the same Collateral as the existing Loans, and (vi) the Commitment Increase shall be guaranteed to the same extent and by the same Guarantors as the existing Loans; provided that (A) if the Lead Borrower determines to increase the interest rate (including by increasing interest margins or introducing benchmark rate floors) or fees payable in respect of such Commitment Increase or Loans and other extensions of credit made thereunder, such increase shall be permitted if the interest rate or fees payable in respect of the existing Commitments or Loans and other extensions of credit made thereunder, as applicable, shall be increased, in the same manner, to equal such interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Commitment Increase or Loans and other extensions of credit made thereunder, as the case may be, and (B) the Borrowers, at the Lead Borrower’s election, may pay any upfront fees or closing fees in connection with any Commitment Increase without being required to pay such fees in connection with the existing Commitments or Loans. Each joinder agreement and any amendment to any Loan Document requested by the Agent in connection with the establishment of the Commitment Increase may, without the consent of any of the Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement (an “Incremental Commitment Agreement”) and the other Loan Documents as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Agent and the Lead Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.15.

2.16    Lead Borrower. Each Borrower hereby designates the Lead Borrower as its representative and agent for all purposes under the Loan Documents, including requests for Loans and Letters of Credit, designation of interest rates, delivery or receipt of communications, preparation and delivery of Borrowing Base and financial reports, receipt and payment of Obligations, requests for waivers, amendments or other accommodations, actions under the Loan Documents (including in respect of compliance with covenants), and all other dealings with the Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender. The Lead Borrower hereby accepts such appointment. The Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any notice or communication (including any Notice of Borrowing) delivered by the Lead Borrower on behalf of any Borrower. The Agent and the Lenders may give any notice or communication with a Borrower hereunder to the Lead Borrower on behalf of such Borrower. Each of the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall have the right, in its discretion, to deal exclusively with the Lead Borrower for any or all purposes under the Loan Documents. Each Borrower agrees that any notice, election, communication, representation, agreement or undertaking made on its behalf by the Lead Borrower shall be binding upon and enforceable against it.

2.17    Overadvances. If the aggregate Loans outstanding exceed the Line Cap (an “Overadvance”) at any time, the excess amount shall be payable by the Borrowers on demand by the Agent, but all such Loans shall nevertheless constitute Obligations secured by the Collateral and entitled to all benefits of the Loan Documents. The Agent may require the Lenders to honor requests for Overadvance Loans and to forbear from requiring the Borrowers to cure an Overadvance, (a) when no other Event of Default is known to the Agent, as long as (i) the Overadvance does not continue for more than 30 consecutive days (and no Overadvance may exist for at least five consecutive days thereafter before further Overadvance Loans are required) and (ii) the aggregate amount of all Overadvances is not known by the Agent to exceed 5% of the Borrowing Base and the aggregate amount of all Overadvance Loans, together with the aggregate amount of all Protective Advances, is not known by the Agent to exceed 10% of the Borrowing Base, (b) regardless of whether an Event of Default exists, if the Agent discovers an Overadvance not previously known by it to exist, as long as from the date of such discovery the Overadvance (i) is not increased by more than $2,500,000, and (ii) does not continue for more than 30 consecutive days. In no event shall Overadvance Loans be required that would cause the aggregate outstanding Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations to exceed the aggregate Commitments. Required Lenders may at any time revoke the Agent’s authority to make further

82

Overadvances by written notice to the Agent. Absent such revocation, the Agent’s determination that funding of a Overadvances is appropriate shall be conclusive. The making of any Overadvance shall not create nor constitute a Default or Event of Default; it being understood that the making or continuance of an Overadvance shall not constitute a waiver by the Agent or the Lenders of the then existing Event of Default. In no event shall any Borrower or other Loan Party be permitted to require any Overadvance Loan to be made.

2.18    Protective Advances. The Agent shall be authorized, in its discretion, following notice to and consultation with the Lead Borrower, at any time, to make Base Rate Loans (“Protective Advances”) (a) in an aggregate amount, together with the aggregate amount of all Overadvance Loans, not to exceed 10% of the Borrowing Base, if the Agent deems such Protective Advances necessary or desirable to preserve and protect the Collateral, or to enhance the collectability or repayment of the Obligations; or (b) to pay any other amounts chargeable to Loan Parties under any Loan Documents, including costs, fees and expenses; provided that, the aggregate amount of outstanding Protective Advances plus the outstanding amount of Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations shall not exceed the aggregate Commitments. Each Lender shall participate in each Protective Advance in accordance with its Pro Rata Share. Required Lenders may at any time revoke the Agent’s authority to make further Protective Advances under clause (a) by written notice to the Agent. Absent such revocation, the Agent’s determination that funding of a Protective Advance is appropriate shall be conclusive. The Agent may use the proceeds of such Protective Advances to (i) protect, insure, maintain or realize upon any Collateral or (ii) defend or maintain the validity or priority of the Agent’s Liens in any Collateral, including any payment of a judgment, insurance premium, warehouse charge, finishing or processing charge, or landlord claim, or any discharge of a Lien; provided that the Agent shall use reasonable efforts to notify the Lead Borrower after paying any such amount or taking any such action and shall not make payment of any item that is being properly contested in good faith by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries.

2.19    Extension Offers (a) Subject to the terms of this Section 2.19, the Lead Borrower may on one or more occasions when no Event of Default exists, by written notice to the Agent, make one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) to all the Lenders, on equal terms to each Lender, with respect to all or a portion of the Commitments (the “Existing Commitments”) and/or Loans (the “Existing Loans”), together with any related outstandings, to make one or more Extension Permitted Amendments pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by the Agent and acceptable to the Lead Borrower. Such notice shall set forth (i) the terms and conditions of the requested Extension Permitted Amendment and (ii) the date on which such Extension Permitted Amendment is requested to become effective (which shall not be less than ten Business Days or more than 30 Business Days after the date of such notice, unless otherwise agreed to by the Agent). Extension Permitted Amendments shall become effective only with respect to the Existing Loans and Existing Commitments of the Lenders that accept the applicable Extension Offer (such Lenders, the “Extending Lenders”) and, in the case of any Extending Lender, only with respect to such Lender’s Loans and Commitments as to which such Lender’s acceptance has been made. The Extension Offer shall not be required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment, provided that the Lead Borrower may, at its option and subject to its right to waive any such condition in its sole discretion, specify as a condition to the effectiveness of any Extension Permitted Amendment that a minimum amount, as specified in the Extension Offer, of Loans and Commitments be extended. The Lead Borrower may amend, revoke or replace any Extension Offer at any time prior to the effectiveness of the applicable Extension Agreement.(b)     An Extension Permitted Amendment shall be effected pursuant to an Extension Agreement executed and delivered by Parent, the Lead Borrower, each applicable Extending Lender and the Agent; provided that no Extension Permitted Amendment shall become effective unless Parent and the Lead Borrower shall have delivered to the Agent such legal opinions, board resolutions, secretary’s certificates, officer’s certificates and other documents as shall reasonably be requested (consistent in all material respects with the documents delivered on the Closing Date under Section 6) by the Agent in connection therewith. The Agent shall

83

promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Extension Agreement. Each Extension Agreement may, without the consent of any Lender other than the applicable Extending Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Agent and the Lead Borrower, to give effect to the provisions of this Section, including any amendments necessary to treat the applicable Loans and/or Commitments of the accepting Lenders as a new class of Loans and/or Commitments hereunder (including for purposes of prepayments and voting (it being agreed that such new class of Loans and/or Commitments may be afforded class voting rights requiring the consent of Lenders under such class in addition to any other consent of Lenders that might otherwise be required under Section 13.10) and to enable such new class of Loans and/or Commitments to be extended under this Section or refinanced under Section 2.20); provided that (i) the borrowing and repayment (except for repayments required upon the maturity, repayments made in connection with any Refinancing Amendment and repayments made in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of the applicable Commitments) of Loans under the Commitments of such new class and the remaining Commitments shall be made on a ratable basis as between the Commitments of such new class and the remaining Commitments, (ii) the allocation of the participation exposure with respect to any then-existing or subsequently issued or made Letter of Credit, Swingline Loan, Overadvance or Protective Advance shall be made on a ratable basis as between the Commitments of such new class and the remaining Commitments (and the applicable Extension Agreement shall contain reallocation and cash collateralization provisions, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and the Lead Borrower, with respect to Letters of Credit, Swingline Loans, Overadvances and Protective Advances outstanding on the Maturity Date), (iii) the Revolving Availability Period and the Maturity Date, as such terms are used in reference to Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Bank or Swingline Loans, may not be extended without the prior written consent of such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as applicable and (iv) the final maturity date of Loans under the Commitments of such new class shall not be earlier than the latest Maturity Date of any other Loans hereunder and the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of Loans under the Commitments of such new class shall not be shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of other Loans hereunder. The Agent agrees that its consent to any amendment to this Agreement or any other Loan Document as contemplated above, or to the form and substance of any Extension Agreement, will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

2.20    Refinancing Facility. At any time after the Closing Date, the Lead Borrower may obtain, from any Lender or other Person that would be an Eligible Transferee (a “Refinancing Lender”), Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of all (but not a portion of) the Obligations then outstanding under this Agreement (a “Refinancing Facility”)pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment;provided, that (x) the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to, to the extent reasonably requested by the Agent, receipt by the Agent of board resolutions, officers’ certificates, reaffirmation agreements consistent with those delivered on or prior to the Closing Date in connection with the initial extension of credit hereunder and otherwise deemed necessary or advisable by the Agent in its reasonable discretion and (y) upon the effectiveness of such Refinancing Amendment, the proceeds of the Refinancing Facility shall be applied to repay all the Obligations then outstanding under this Agreement and cash collateralize (or otherwise back-stop) all Letters of Credit (pursuant to arrangements and documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and the Issuing Banks), and the Commitments hereunder shall be terminated. The Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Refinancing Facility incurred pursuant thereto. Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.20. The terms and conditions of any Refinancing Facility and Loans and other extensions of credit thereunder shall be as determined by the Lead Borrower and the applicable Refinancing Lenders.

84

Section 3.Yield Protection, Illegality and Replacement of Lenders.

3.01    Increased Costs, Illegality, etc.

(h)In the event that any Lender shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but, with respect to clause (i) below, may be made only by the Agent):

(i)    on any Interest Determination Date that, by reason of any changes arising after the date of this Agreement affecting the interbank Eurodollar market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of LIBO Rate;

(ii)    at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any LIBO Rate Loan because of any change since the Closing Date in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request (whether or not having the force of law) or in the official interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, order, official guideline or request, such as, but not limited to: (A) any additional Tax imposed on any Lender (except Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes indemnified under Section 5.01 or any Excluded Taxes) or (B) a change in official reserve requirements, but, in all events, excluding reserves required under Regulation D to the extent included in the computation of the LIBO Rate; or

(iii)    at any time, that the making or continuance of any LIBO Rate Loan has been made (x) unlawful by any law or governmental rule, regulation or order, (y) impossible by compliance by any Lender in good faith with any governmental request (whether or not having force of law) or (z) impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the Closing Date which materially and adversely affects the interbank Eurodollar market;

then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the Agent, in the case of clause (i) above) shall promptly give notice (by telephone promptly confirmed in writing) to the Lead Borrower and, except in the case of clause (i) above, to the Agent of such determination (which notice the Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders). Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i) above, LIBO Rate Loans shall no longer be available until such time as the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Agent no longer exist, and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by the Lead Borrower with respect to LIBO Rate Loans which have not yet been incurred (including by way of conversion) shall be deemed rescinded by the Borrowers, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, each Borrower, jointly and severally, agrees to pay to such Lender, upon such Lender’s written request therefor, such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable hereunder and (z) in the case of clause (iii) above, the Borrowers shall take one of the actions specified in Section 3.01(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law.

(i)At any time that any LIBO Rate Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 3.01(a)(ii), the Lead Borrower may, and in the case of a LIBO Rate Loan affected by the circumstances described in Section 3.01(a)(iii), the Lead Borrower shall, either (x) if the affected LIBO Rate Loan is then being made initially or pursuant to a conversion, cancel such Borrowing by giving the Agent telephonic notice (confirmed in writing) on the same date that the Lead Borrower was notified by the affected Lender or the Agent pursuant to Section 3.01(a)(ii) or (iii) or (y) if the affected LIBO Rate Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’ written notice to the Agent, require the affected Lender to convert such

85

LIBO Rate Loan into a Base Rate Loan, provided that if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated the same pursuant to this Section 3.01(b).

(j)If any Lender determines that after the Closing Date the introduction of or any change in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline, directive or request (whether or not having the force of law) concerning capital adequacy, or any change in interpretation or administration thereof by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, will have the effect of increasing the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender based on the existence of such Lender’s Commitments hereunder or its obligations hereunder, then each Borrower, jointly and severally, agrees to pay to such Lender, upon such Lender’s written request therefor, such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Lender or such other corporation for the increased cost to such Lender or such other corporation or the reduction in the rate of return to such Lender or such other corporation as a result of such increase of capital.

(k)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall be deemed to be a change after the Closing Date in applicable law or government rule, regulation or order, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented (including for purposes of this Section 3.01).

(l)A certificate of a Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (c) of this Section delivered to the Lead Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof.

(m)Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender, as the case may be, pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or expenses incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Lead Borrower of the circumstance giving rise to such increased costs or expenses or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; providedfurther that, if the circumstance giving rise to such increased costs or expenses or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(n)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section to the contrary, no Lender or corporation controlling any Lender shall request, or be entitled to receive, any compensation pursuant to this Section unless it shall be the general policy or practice of such Lender or such corporation to seek compensation from other similarly situated borrowers in the U.S. syndicated loan market with respect to its similarly affected loans under agreements with such borrowers having provisions similar to this Section.

3.02    Compensation. Each Borrower, jointly and severally, agrees to compensate each Lender, upon its written request (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation and the calculation of the amount of such compensation), for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or

86

reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund its LIBO Rate Loans but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or the Agent) a Borrowing of, or conversion from or into, LIBO Rate Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation (whether or not withdrawn by the applicable Borrower or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 3.01(a)); (ii) if any prepayment or repayment (including any termination or reduction of Commitments made pursuant to Section 2.07 or as a result of an acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 11) or conversion of any of its LIBO Rate Loans occurs on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto; (iii) if any prepayment of any LIBO Rate Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of termination or reduction given by the Lead Borrower; or (iv) as a consequence of (x) any other default by any Borrower to repay its LIBO Rate Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or (y) any election made pursuant to Section 3.01(b).

3.03    Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that on the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 3.01(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 3.01(c) or Section 5.01 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Lead Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event, provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of such Section. Nothing in this Section 3.03 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrowers or the right of any Lender provided in Sections 3.01 and 5.01.

3.04    Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, (b) upon the occurrence of an event giving rise to the operation of Section 3.01(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 3.01(c) or Section 5.01 with respect to such Lender, (c) in the case of a refusal by a Lender to consent to certain proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 13.10(b), or (d) any Lender has failed to accept an Extension Offer made to such Lender and with respect to which all other Lenders of the applicable class have accepted such Extension Offer or are being (or have been) replaced or whose Commitments are being (or have been) terminated, in each case in accordance with this Section, the Lead Borrower shall have the right, so long as no Event of Default under Section 11.01 or 11.05 shall have occurred and be continuing, to replace such Lender (the “Replaced Lender”) with one or more other Eligible Transferees (other than any Disqualified Lender), none of whom shall constitute a Defaulting Lender at the time of such replacement (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”) and each of whom shall be required to be reasonably acceptable to the Agent and each Issuing Bank (to the extent the Agent’s and Issuing Bank’s consent would be required for an assignment to such Replacement Lender pursuant to Section 13.04); provided that (i) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 3.04, the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment and Assumption Agreements pursuant to Section 13.04(b) (and with all fees payable pursuant to Section 13.04(b) to be paid by the Replacement Lender and/or the Replaced Lender (as may be agreed to at such time by and among the Lead Borrower, the Replacement Lender and the Replaced Lender) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the Commitments and outstanding Loans of the Replaced Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay to (x) the Replaced Lender in respect thereof an amount equal to the sum of (I) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the respective Replaced Lender and (II) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, fees owing to the Replaced Lender pursuant to Section 2.05 and (ii) all obligations of each Borrower due and owing to the Replaced Lender at such time (other than those specifically described in clause (i) above in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid) shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement. Upon receipt by the Replaced Lender of all amounts required to be paid to it pursuant to this Section 3.04, the Agent shall be entitled (but not obligated) and

authorized to execute an Assignment and Assumption Agreement on behalf of such Replaced Lender, and any such Assignment and Assumption Agreement so executed by the Agent and the Replacement Lender shall be effective for purposes of this Section 3.04 and Section 13.04. Upon the execution of the respective Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above, recordation of the assignment on the Register pursuant to Section 13.13 and, if so requested by the Replacement Lender, delivery to the Replacement Lender of the appropriate Note or Notes executed by the applicable Borrower, (x) the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 3.01, 3.02, 5.01, 12.07 and 13.01), which shall survive as to such Replaced Lender. In connection with any replacement of Lenders pursuant to, and as contemplated by, this Section 3.04, each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Lead Borrower to take all necessary action, in the name of such Borrower, as described above in this Section 3.04 in order to effect the replacement of the respective Lender or Lenders in accordance with the preceding provisions of this Section 3.04.

3.05    Inability to Determine Rates. If the Required Lenders determine in good faith that for any reason (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank Eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such LIBO Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the LIBO Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBO Rate Loan, or (c) that the LIBO Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBO Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Agent will promptly so notify the Lead Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain LIBO Rate Loans shall be suspended, and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the LIBO Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the LIBO Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Lead Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBO Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of LIBO Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

Section 4.[Reserved].

Section 5.Taxes.

5.01    Net Payments.

(f)All payments made by or on account of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any Taxes are required to be withheld or deducted from such payments, then the Loan Parties jointly and severally agree that (i) to the extent such deduction or withholding is on account of an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholding (including deduction or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.01), the Agent or Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the applicable withholding agent will make any required deductions or withholdings, and (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. In addition, the Loan Parties shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. The Loan Parties will furnish to the Agent within 45 days after the date the payment by any of them of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes is due pursuant to applicable law certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by the applicable Loan Party. The Loan Parties jointly and

88

severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent and each Lender, and reimburse the Agent and each Lender, within 10 days of written request therefor, for the amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 5.01) payable or paid by the Agent or such Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to the Agent or such Lender, and any Other Taxes, and any reasonable out-of-pocket 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 Lead Borrower by the Agent or any Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(g)Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Lead Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Lead Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Lead Borrower or the Agent, certifying as to any entitlement of such Lender to an exemption from, or a reduce rate of, withholding Tax. In addition, each Lender shall deliver to the Lead Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Lead Borrower or the Agent, such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Lead Borrower or the Agent as will enable the Lead Borrower or the Agent to determine whether such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 5.01(c)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Each Lender shall, whenever change in circumstances renders such documentation (including any specific documents required below in Section 5.01(c)) inaccurate in any respect, deliver promptly to the Lead Borrower and the Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the Lead Borrower or the Agent) or promptly notify the Lead Borrower and the Agent in writing of its inability to do so.

(h)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (x) Each Lender that is not a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Lead Borrower and the Agent on or prior to the Closing Date or, in the case of a Lender that is a Lender to the Lead Borrower and that is an assignee or transferee of an interest under this Agreement pursuant to Section 3.04 or 13.04(b) (unless the relevant Lender was already a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such assignment or transfer), on the date of such assignment or transfer to such Lender, (i) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or successor form) claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party or Form W-8ECI (or successor form), or (ii) in the case of a Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest,” a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C (any such certificate, a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or successor form) certifying to such Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from U.S. withholding tax with respect to payments of interest to be made under this Agreement and under any Note; or (iii) to the extent a Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Lender is a partnership or a participating Lender), two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or successor form) of the Lender, accompanied by Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, Form W-8IMY, and/or any other required information (or successor or other applicable form) from each beneficial owner that would be required under this Section 5.01(c) if such beneficial owner were a Lender (provided that, if the Lender is a partnership for U.S. federal income Tax purposes (and not a participating Lender), and one or more beneficial owners are claiming the portfolio interest exemption), the U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate may be provided by such

89

Lender on behalf of such beneficial owners); (y) Each Lender to the Lead Borrower that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Lead Borrower and the Agent, at the times specified in Section 5.01(b), two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, or any successor form that such Person is entitled to provide at such time, in order to qualify for an exemption from United States back-up withholding requirements; and (z) if any 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 Sections 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Lead Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Lead 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 Lead Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for the Lead Borrower or the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine, if necessary, the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 5.01(c)(z), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.01, a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver and shall promptly notify the Lead Borrower and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(i)If the Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Loan Parties or with respect to which a Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to Section 5.01(a), it shall pay to the relevant Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under Section 5.01(a) with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) of the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the relevant Loan Party, upon the request of the Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Agent or such Lender in the event the Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.01(d), in no event will the Agent or any Lender be required to pay any amount to any Loan Party pursuant to this Section 5.01(d) to the extent that such payment would place the Agent or such Lender in a less favorable position (on a net after-Tax basis) than such party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. Nothing in this Section 5.01(d) shall be construed to obligate the Agent or any Lender to disclose its Tax returns or any other information regarding its Tax affairs or computations to any Person or otherwise to arrange its Tax affairs in any manner other than as it determines in its sole discretion.

(j)For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of Section 5.01, the term “Lender” shall include any Issuing Bank.

Section 6.Conditions Precedent to Credit Extensions on the Closing Date.

8.03    No Violation. Neither the execution, delivery or performance by any Loan Party of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, nor compliance by it with the terms and provisions thereof, (i) will contravene any provision of any law, statute, rule or regulation applicable to such Loan Party or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or Governmental Authority binding on such Loan Party, (ii) will conflict with or result

8.04    Approvals. Except to the extent the failure to obtain or make the same would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, no order, consent, approval, license, authorization or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with (except for (x) those that have otherwise been obtained or made on or prior to the Closing Date and which remain in full force and effect on the Closing Date and (y) filings which are necessary to perfect the security interests created under the Security Documents), or exemption by any Governmental Authority, is required to be obtained or made by, or on behalf of, any Loan Party to authorize, or is required to be obtained or made by, or on behalf of, any Loan Party in connection with, the execution, delivery and performance of any Loan Document.

All of the foregoing historical financial statements have been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP consistently applied.

then and in any such event, and at any time thereafter, if any Event of Default shall then be continuing, the Agent, upon the written request of the Required Lenders, shall by written notice to the Lead Borrower, take any or all of the following actions, without prejudice to the rights of the Agent or any Lender to enforce its claims against any Loan Party (provided that, if an Event of Default specified in Section 11.05 shall occur with respect to any Loan Party, the result which would occur upon the giving of written notice by the Agent as specified in clauses (i) and (ii) below shall occur automatically without the giving of any such notice): (i) declare the Aggregate Commitments terminated, whereupon all Commitments of each Lender shall forthwith terminate immediately; (ii) declare the principal of and any accrued interest in respect of all Loans and the Notes and all Obligations owing hereunder and thereunder to be, whereupon the same shall become, forthwith due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by each Loan Party; (iii) enforce, as Agent, all of the Liens and security interests created pursuant to the Security Documents; (iv) terminate, reduce or condition any Commitment, or make any adjustment to the Borrowing Base; and (v) require the Loan Parties to Cash Collateralize Letter of Credit Obligations, and, if the Loan Parties fail promptly to deposit such Cash Collateral, the Agent may (and shall upon the direction of Required Lenders) advance the required Cash Collateral as Loans (whether or not an Overadvance exists or is created thereby, or the conditions in Section 7.01 are satisfied).

9.39    Application of Funds. After the exercise of remedies provided for above (or after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable and the Letter of Credit Exposure has automatically been required to be Cash Collateralized as set forth above), any amounts received on account of the Obligations (including without limitation, proceeds received by the Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral (including, without limitation, pursuant to the exercise by the Agent of its remedies during the continuance of an Event of Default) or otherwise received on account of the Obligations) shall, subject to the provisions of Sections 2.11 and 2.13(j), be applied in the following order:

First, to the payment of all reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses, fees, commissions and taxes of such sale, collection or other realization including, without limitation, compensation to the Agent and its agents and counsel, and all expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by the Agent in connection therewith;

Second, to the payment of all other reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses of such sale, collection or other realization including, without limitation, costs and expenses and all costs, liabilities and advances made or incurred by the other Secured Parties in connection therewith (other than in respect of Bank Product Obligations);

Third, to interest then due and payable on the Lead Borrower’s Swingline Loan;

145

Fourth, to the principal balance of the Swingline Loan outstanding until the same has been prepaid in full;

Fifth, to the payment of fees due to the Agent and the Lenders under the Loan Documents;

Sixth, to interest then due and payable on Loans and other amounts due pursuant to Sections 3.01, 3.02 and 5.01;

Seventh, to Cash Collateralize all Letter of Credit Exposures (to the extent not otherwise Cash Collateralized pursuant to the terms hereof) plusany accrued and unpaid interest thereon;

Eighth, to the principal balance of Borrowings then outstanding and all Obligations on account of Noticed Bank Products with Secured Parties (but only up to the amount of the most recently established Bank Product Reserve in respect of such Noticed Bank Products which Bank Product Reserve was established prior to and not in contemplation of such exercise of remedies or the Loans having become automatically due and payable), pro rata;

Ninth, to all other Obligations pro rata (other than in respect of Bank Product Obligations);

Tenth, to all Bank Product Obligations pro rata; and

Eleventh, the balance, if any, as required by the Intercreditor Agreement, any Additional Debt Intercreditor Agreement or any Permitted Junior Debt Intercreditor Agreement or, in the absence of any such requirement, to the Person lawfully entitled thereto (including the applicable Loan Party or its successors or assigns).

Amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Seventh above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above. Amounts distributed with respect to any Bank Product Obligations shall be the lesser of the maximum Bank Product Obligations last reported to the Agent or the actual Bank Product Obligations as calculated by the methodology reported to the Agent for determining the amount due. The Agent shall have no obligation to calculate the amount to be distributed with respect to any Bank Product Obligations, and may request a reasonably detailed calculation of such amount from the applicable Secured Party. If a Secured Party fails to deliver such calculation within five days following request by the Agent, the Agent may assume the amount to be distributed is zero.

In the event that any such proceeds are insufficient to pay in full the items described in clauses First through Tenth of this Section 11.11, the Loan Parties shall remain liable for any deficiency. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, this Section 11.11 is subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, any Additional Debt Intercreditor Agreement and any Permitted Junior Debt Intercreditor Agreement.

Section 10.    The Agent.

10.01    Appointment and Authorization.

(d)    Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints (i) Bank of America, N.A. as Agent for such Lender, (ii) Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as syndication agent for such Lender and (ii) Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as joint

146

lead arranger and joint bookrunning managers for such Lender, each to act as specified herein and in the other Loan Documents. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, the Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. The Agent shall have no other rights, powers, obligations, liabilities, responsibilities or duties under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as a Lender, a Swingline Lender or an Issuing Bank hereunder. None of the Agent, the Syndication Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Agent, the Syndication Agent or either of the Joint Lead Arrangers. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to the Agent, the Syndication Agent or the Joint Lead Arrangers is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

(e)    Each of the Lenders (including in its capacity as a Bank Product Provider) hereby further authorizes the Agent to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement, any Additional Debt Intercreditor Agreement and any Permitted Junior Debt Intercreditor Agreement and any respective amendments thereto on behalf of such Lender; provided that any such amendments (except to the extent constituting mechanical changes implementing the joinder and/or replacement of representatives of other Indebtedness or other immaterial changes) shall have been approved by Required Lenders (or all Lenders, to the extent such approval is required by pursuant to the terms thereof). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Lenders hereby authorizes and directs the Agent to bind each Lender to the actions required by such Lender under the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, any Additional Debt Intercreditor Agreement and any Permitted Junior Debt Intercreditor Agreement.

(f)    The provisions of this Section 12 (other than Sections 12.09, 12.11 and 12.14) are solely for the benefit of the Agent, the Syndication Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, and Parent and the Borrowers shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

10.02    Delegation of Duties. The Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.

10.03    Liability of Agent. No Agent-Related Person shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as such Agent-Related Person shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 11) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein, (b) be responsible in any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by

147

any Loan Party or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of any Loan Party or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder, or (c) have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that such Agent-Related Person is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that each of the Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender or participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof.

10.04    Reliance by the Agent.

(a)    The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, facsimile or telephone message, electronic mail message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Loan Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent. The Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders.

(b)    For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 6, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the Closing Date specifying its objection thereto.

10.05    Notice of Default. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless the Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or the Lead Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default as may be directed by the Required Lenders in accordance with Section 11; provided, however, that unless and until the Agent has received any such direction, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.

10.06    Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by the Agent. Each Lender acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Agent hereafter

148

taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender represents to the Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agent herein, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person.

10.07    Indemnification of the Agent. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand the Agent (and its officers, directors, employees, agents and attorneys in fact which are acting on behalf of the Agent) (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of any Loan Party and without limiting the obligation of any Loan Party to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless the Agent (and its officers, directors, employees, agents and attorneys in fact which are acting on behalf of the Agent) from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to the Agent (and its officers, directors, employees, agents and attorneys in fact which are acting on behalf of the Agent) of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Agent’s (and its officers, directors, employees, agents and attorneys in fact which are acting on behalf the Agent) own gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrowers. The undertaking in this Section shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, the payment of all other Obligations and the resignation of the Agent and the Lead Arranger.

10.08    Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Bank of America, N.A. and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with each of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates as though Bank of America, N.A. was not the Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Bank of America, N.A. or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Loan Party or its Affiliates (including

149

information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Loan Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, Bank of America, N.A. shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include Bank of America, N.A.in its individual capacity.

10.09    Successor Agent.

(c)    The Agent may resign as Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Lead Borrower and the Lenders. If the Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor Agent for the Lenders (it being understood that no Lender shall be obligated to accept such appointment), which successor Agent shall be consented to by the Lead Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default under Sections 11.01 or 11.05 (which consent of the Lead Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor Agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Agent, the Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and with the consent of the Lead Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default under Sections 11.01 or 11.05, a successor Agent from among the Lenders (it being understood that no Lender shall be obligated to accept such appointment); provided that any such successor Agent shall be either a domestic office of a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or any State thereof, or a United States branch of a bank that is organized under the laws of another jurisdiction, in either case which has a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000; provided that in no event shall any such successor Agent be a Defaulting Lender. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor Agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor Agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Agent and the term “Agent” means such successor Agent and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 12 and Section 13.01 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. If no successor Agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.

(d)    Any resignation by Bank of America, N.A. as Agent pursuant to this Section 12.09 shall also constitute its resignation as a Swingline Lender to the extent that Bank of America, N.A. is acting in such capacity at such time. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Swingline Lender and (ii) the retiring Swingline Lender shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.

10.10    Agent May File Proofs of Claim. 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 or Letter of Credit Exposure 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 Borrowers) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(f)    to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, Letter of Credit Exposure 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, the Issuing Bank and the Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses,

150

disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Agent under Sections 2.05 and 13.01) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(g)    to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and the Issuing Bank to make such payments to the Agent and, in the event that the Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank, 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 Sections 2.05 and 13.01.

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

10.11    Collateral and Guaranty Matters. (a) The Lenders and the Issuing Bank irrevocably authorize the Agent,

(xix)    to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Agent under any Loan Document (A) upon termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than (i) contingent indemnification obligations and expense reimbursement obligations not yet due and payable and (ii) unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Agent and/or Lenders are exercising remedies provided in Section 11 of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable and the Letter of Credit Exposure has automatically been required to be Cash Collateralized as set forth in Section 11, Bank Product Obligations) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (unless Cash Collateralized or backstopped on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and Issuing Bank), (B) that is sold or disposed of, or to be sold or disposed of, as part of or in connection with any sale or disposition permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (C) subject to Section 13.10, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders;

(xx)    at the request of the Lead Borrower, to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 10.01(vi), (vii), (xiv), (xvii), (xviii), (xxxix) (to the extent such Liens that are replacements of Permitted Liens are Liens permitted by Section 10.01(vi), (vii), (xiv), (xvii) or (xviii)) and, in respect of Noteholder Priority Collateral, (xl), but only to the extent such sections permit such Lien to be prior to the Liens held by the Agent under the Loan Documents; and

(xxi)    to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Security Agreement if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary, or becomes an Excluded 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 or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Security Agreement pursuant to this Section 12.11.

151

10.12    Bank Product Providers. Each Bank Product Provider, by delivery of a notice to the Agent of such agreement, agrees to be bound by this Section 12. Each such Bank Product Provider shall indemnify and hold harmless Agent-Related Persons, to the extent not reimbursed by the Loan Parties, against all claims that may be incurred by or asserted against any Agent-Related Person in connection with such provider’s Bank Product Obligations.

10.13    Agent as “collateral agent”. The Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (in its capacities as a Lender) hereby irrevocably appoint and authorize the Agent to act as the agent of such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto.  In this capacity, the Agent, as “collateral agent” and any agent, employee or attorney-in-fact appointed by the “collateral agent” pursuant to Section 12.02 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Security Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the “collateral agent”), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Section 12 and Section 13 as though such agent, employee or attorney-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

10.14    Permitted Discretion. In exercising its Permitted Discretion, the Agent (i) may, among other things, consider any factors that could materially increase the credit risk of lending to the Borrowers on the security of the Collateral and, (ii) as it relates to the establishment, adjustment or imposition of Borrowing Base Reserves, shall require that (A) such establishment, adjustment or imposition after the Closing Date be based on the analysis of facts or events first occurring or first discovered by the Agent after the Closing Date or that are materially different from the facts or events occurring or known to the Agent on the Closing Date, unless the Lead Borrower and the Agent otherwise agree in writing, (B) no Borrowing Base Reserves shall be established in duplication of any other Borrowing Base Reserves then established and (C) no Borrowing Base Reserves shall duplicate the exclusion of any assets from eligibility to be included in the Borrowing Base.

To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay or hold harmless the Agent, any Joint Lead Arranger or any Lender or other Indemnified Person set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Loan Parties shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the indemnified liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.

11.04    Benefit of Agreement; Assignments; Participations, etc.This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided that, except as provided in Section 10.02(vii), no Borrower may assign or transfer any of its rights, obligations or interest hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lenders and, provided, further, that, although any Lender may grant a participation in its rights hereunder, such Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations (and may not transfer or assign all or any portion of its Commitments hereunder except as provided in Sections 3.04 and 13.04(b)), the Borrowers, the Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the participant shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder and, provided, in addition, that no Lender shall transfer or grant any participation under which the participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Loan Document except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory repayment of any Loan shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Commitment (or the available portion thereof) or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, (iii) except as otherwise expressly provided in the Security Documents, release all or substantially all of the Collateral under all the Security Documents supporting the Loans in which such participant is participating or (iv) except as otherwise provided in the Loan Documents, release all or substantially all of the value of the guaranty supporting the Loans in which such participant is participating. In the case of any such participation, the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (the participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto). Each Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01 and 5.01 (subject to the limitations and requirements of such Sections) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment; provided, however, that a participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 3.04 as if it were an assignee under clause (b) of this Section and shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or Section 5.01 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such participant except to the extent such entitlement to a greater payment results from a change in law after the sale of the participation takes place. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Lead Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and interest amounts) 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

155

to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loan, or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary in connection with a Tax audit or other proceeding to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations.

(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender (or any Lender together with one or more other Lenders) may (x) assign all or a portion of its Commitments and related outstanding Obligations hereunder to (i)(A) its parent company and/or any affiliate of such Lender which is at least 50% owned by such Lender or its parent company or (B) to one or more other Lenders or any affiliate of any such other Lender which is at least 50% owned by such other Lender or its parent company (provided that any fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of another fund which is a Lender (or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor) shall be treated as an affiliate of such other Lender for the purposes of this sub-clause (x)(i)(B)); provided that no such assignment may be made to any such Person that is, or would at such time constitute, a Defaulting Lender, or (ii) in the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in loans, any other fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of any Lender or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor or (y) assign all, or if less than all, a portion equal to at least $5,000,000 (or such lesser amount as may be agreed to by the Agent and the Lead Borrower) in the aggregate for the assigning Lender or assigning Lenders, of such Commitments and related outstanding Obligations hereunder to one or more Eligible Transferees (treating any fund that invests in loans and any other fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of such fund or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor as a single Eligible Transferee) each of which assignees shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement (which Assignment and Assumption Agreement shall contain an acknowledgement and agreement by the respective assignee that, as a Lender, it shall be subject to, and bound by the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement), provided that (i) at such time, Schedule 2.01 shall be deemed modified to reflect the Commitments of such new Lender and of the existing Lenders, (ii) upon the surrender of the relevant Notes by the assigning Lender (or, upon such assigning Lender’s indemnifying the Borrowers for any lost Note pursuant to a customary indemnification agreement) new Notes will be issued, at the Borrowers’ expense, to such new Lender and to the assigning Lender upon the request of such new Lender or assigning Lender, such new Notes to be in conformity with the requirements of Section 2.04 (with appropriate modifications) to the extent needed to reflect the revised Commitments and/or outstanding Loans, as the case may be, (iii) the consent of the (A) Agent, (B) each Issuing Bank, (C) the Swingline Lender and (D) so long as no Event of Default then exists under Section 11.01 or 11.05, the consent of the Lead Borrower shall (in either case) be required in connection with any such assignment pursuant to clause (y) above (which consents, in any such case, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that the Lead Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Agent within 10 Business Days after having received notice thereof, (iv) the Agent shall receive at the time of each such assignment, from the assigning or assignee Lender, the payment of a non-refundable assignment fee of $3,500 and (v) no such transfer or assignment shall be effective until recorded by the Agent on the Register pursuant to Section 13.13. To the extent of any assignment pursuant to this Section 13.04(b), the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Commitments and outstanding Loans. At the time of each assignment pursuant to this Section 13.04(b) to a Person that is not already a Lender hereunder, such assignee shall provide to the Agent and the Borrowers such Tax forms as are required to be provided under clauses (b) and (c) of Section 5.01. To the extent that an assignment of all or any portion of a Lender’s Commitments and related outstanding Obligations pursuant to Section 3.04 or this Section 13.04(b) would, at the time of such assignment, result in increased costs under Section 3.01 or 5.01 from those being charged by the assigning Lender prior to such assignment, then the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrowers, in accordance with and pursuant to the other

156

provisions of this Agreement, shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective assignment).

(d)    Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Lender from pledging its Loans and Notes hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank and, with prior notification to the Agent (but without the consent of the Agent or the Borrowers), any Lender which is a fund may pledge all or any portion of its Loans and Notes to its trustee or to a collateral agent providing credit or credit support to such Lender in support of its obligations to such trustee, such collateral agent or a holder of such obligations, as the case may be. No pledge pursuant to this clause (c) shall release the transferor Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.

(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no assignment may be made or participation sold to (i) natural persons (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person), (ii) any Disqualified Lenders that have been identified to the Agent and whose identity is available to each Lender on request, (iii) any Loan Party or (iv) any of the Affiliates or subsidiaries of Loan Parties. The Agent shall not have any responsibility or obligation to determine whether any Lender or potential Lender is a Disqualified Lender and will have no liability with respect to any assignment made to a Disqualified Lender.

(f)    Each Lender acknowledges and agrees to comply with the provisions of Section 13.04 applicable to it as a Lender hereunder.

11.05    No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document and no course of dealing between the Borrowers or any other Loan Party and the Agent or any Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights, powers and remedies herein or in any other Loan Document expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies which the Agent or any Lender would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Loan Party in any case shall entitle any Loan Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Agent or any Lender to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

11.06    Calculations; Computations.

(a)    The financial statements to be furnished to the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be made and prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved (except as set forth in the notes thereto). Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed in accordance with U.S. GAAP as in effect from time to time; provided that (a) if Parent or the Lead Borrower, by notice to the Agent, shall request an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any change occurring after the date hereof in U.S. GAAP or in the application thereof on the operation of such provision (or if the Agent or the Required Lenders, by notice to Parent and the Lead Borrower, shall request an amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose), regardless of whether any such notice is given before or after such change in U.S. GAAP or in the application thereof, then such provision shall be interpreted on the basis of U.S. GAAP as in effect and applied immediately before such change shall have become effective until such notice shall have been withdrawn or such provision amended in accordance herewith and (b) notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations

157

of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made, (i) without giving effect to any election under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, or any successor thereto (including pursuant to the Accounting Standards Codification), to value any Indebtedness of Parent or any Subsidiary at “fair value”, as defined therein, (ii) without giving effect to the application of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 815 (and related interpretations of the foregoing) to the extent such application would otherwise increase or decrease the principal amount of Indebtedness for any purpose hereunder as a result of accounting for any embedded derivatives created by the terms of such Indebtedness, (iii) without giving effect to any change to U.S. GAAP occurring after the date hereof as a result of the adoption of any proposals set forth in the Proposed Accounting Standards Update, Leases (Topic 840), issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board on August 17, 2010, or any other proposals issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in connection therewith, in each case if such change would require treating any lease (or similar arrangement conveying the right to use) as a capital lease where such lease (or similar arrangement) was not required to be so treated under U.S. GAAP as in effect on the date hereof, and (iv) without giving effect to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 141R or ASC 805 (or any other financial accounting standard having a similar result or effect). Where reference is made to “Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis” or similar language, such consolidation shall not include any Subsidiaries of Parent other than Restricted Subsidiaries.

(b)    All computations of interest (other than interest based on the Base Rate) and other Fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day and the last day, other than, in respect of any Loan, Letter of Credit, Letter of Credit Disbursement, Commitment or other Obligation (in the event of a prepayment or repayment of any Loan or Letter of Credit Disbursement or any Commitment termination, subject to Section 2.10(a)) the last day that such Loan, Letter of Credit, Letter of Credit Disbursement, Commitment or other Obligation is outstanding) occurring in the period for which such interest or Fees are payable. All computations of interest based determined by reference to the Base Rate shall be based on a 365-day or 366-day year, as the case may be.

(c)    The calculation of any financial ratios under this Agreement shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding-down if there is no nearest number).

160

thereof that are expressly subject to the discretion or satisfaction of, or determination by, the Agent or (6) without the prior written consent of the Supermajority Lenders, increase the percentages set forth in the term “Borrowing Base” or add any new classes of eligible assets thereto.

161

provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Documents if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within five (5) Business Days following receipt of notice thereof.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that a transfer of Loans pursuant to this Section 13.12 would, at the time of such transfer, result in increased costs under Section 3.01 or 5.01 from those being charged by the respective Lender prior to such transfer, then the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrowers shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective transfer).

11.13    Register. The Borrowers hereby designate the Agent to serve as its agent, solely for purposes of this Section 13.13, to maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it will record the Commitments from time to time of each of the Lenders, the Commitments and principal amount of Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations by each of the Lenders and each repayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans of each Lender. Parent, the Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement (and the entries in the Register shall be conclusive for such purposes), notwithstanding notice to the contrary. With respect to any Lender, the transfer of the Commitments of, and the principal (and interest) amounts of the Loans owing to, such Lender and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan made pursuant to such Commitments shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by the Agent with respect to ownership of such Commitments and Loans and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Commitments and Loans shall remain owing to the transferor. The registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of any Commitments and Loans shall be recorded by the Agent on the Register only upon the acceptance by the Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment and Assumption Agreement pursuant to Section 13.04(b). Coincident with the delivery of such an Assignment and Assumption Agreement to the Agent for acceptance and registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the assigning or transferor Lender shall surrender the Note (if any) evidencing such Loan, and thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the assigning or transferor Lender and/or the new Lender at the request of any such Lender. The registration of any provision of Commitment Increases pursuant to Section 2.15 shall be recorded by the Agent on the Register only upon the acceptance of the Agent of a properly executed and delivered Incremental Commitment Agreement. Coincident with the delivery of such Incremental Commitment Agreement for acceptance and registration of the provision of Commitment Increases, as the case may be, or as soon thereafter as practicable, to the extent requested by such Lenders and Notes shall be issued, at the Borrowers’ expense, to such Lender of a Commitment Increase, to be in conformity with Section 2.04 (with appropriate modification) to the extent needed to reflect Commitment Increases, and outstanding Loans made by such Lender of a Commitment Increase.

11.14    Confidentiality.

(c)    Subject to the provisions of clause (b) of this Section 13.14, the Agent, each Joint Lead Arranger and each Lender agrees that it will not disclose without the prior consent of the Lead Borrower (other than to its employees, auditors, advisors or counsel on a need-to-know basis or to another Lender if such Lender or such Lender’s holding or parent company in its sole discretion determines that any such party should have access to such information, provided such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 13.14 to the same extent as such Lender (or language substantially similar to this Section 13.14(a)) any information with respect to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries which is now or in the future furnished pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, provided that any Lender may disclose any such information (i) as has become generally available to the public other than by virtue of a breach of this Section 13.14(a) by such Lender, (ii) as may be required or appropriate in any report, statement or testimony submitted to any municipal, state or Federal regulatory body having or claiming to have jurisdiction over such Lender or to the Federal Reserve Board or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or similar organizations (whether in the United States or elsewhere) or their successors, (iii) as may be required or appropriate in respect to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, (iv) in order to comply with any law, order, regulation or ruling applicable to such Lender, (v) to the Agent, (vi) to any prospective or actual direct or indirect contractual counterparty in any swap, hedge or similar agreement (or to any such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor), so long as such contractual counterparty (or such professional advisor) agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 13.14 (or language substantially similar to this Section 13.14(a)), and (vii) to any prospective or actual transferee, pledgee or participant in connection with any contemplated transfer, pledge or participation of any of the Loans or Commitments or any interest therein by such Lender (in each case, other than a Disqualified Lender), provided that such prospective transferee, pledge or participant agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions contained in this Section 13.14 (or language substantially similar to this Section 13.14(a)); providedfurther that, to the extent permitted pursuant to any applicable law, order, regulation or ruling, and other than in connection with credit and other bank examinations conducted in the ordinary course with respect to such Lender, in the case of any disclosure pursuant to the foregoing clauses (ii), (iii) or (iv), such Lender will use its commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Lead Borrower in advance of such disclosure so as to afford the Lead Borrower the opportunity to protect the confidentiality of the information proposed to be so disclosed.

(d)    The Borrowers hereby acknowledge and agree that each Lender may share with any of its Affiliates, and such Affiliates may share with such Lender, any information related to Parent, the Lead Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, any non-public customer information regarding the creditworthiness of Parent, the Lead Borrower and its Subsidiaries), provided such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 13.14 to the same extent as such Lender. In addition, the Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Commitments.

11.15    USA PATRIOT Act Notice. The Agent and each Lender hereby notifies Parent and the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act Title III of Pub. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001 and amended on March 9, 2009) (the “PATRIOT Act”), it is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies Parent, the Borrowers and each Subsidiary Guarantor, which information includes the name of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Loan Party in accordance with the PATRIOT Act, and each Loan Party agrees to provide such information from time to time to any Lender.

163

11.16    Special Provisions Regarding Pledges of Equity Interests in Persons Not Organized in Qualified Jurisdictions. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the provisions of the various Security Documents executed and delivered by the Loan Parties require that, among other things, all or up to 65% of Equity Interests in various Persons owned by the respective Loan Party be pledged, and delivered for pledge, pursuant to the Security Documents. The parties hereto further acknowledge and agree that each Loan Party shall be required to take all actions under the laws of the jurisdiction in which such Loan Party is organized to create and perfect all security interests granted pursuant to the various Security Documents and to take all actions under the laws of the United States to perfect the security interests in the Equity Interests of any Person organized under the laws of said jurisdictions (to the extent said Equity Interests are owned by any Loan Party).

11.17    Waiver of Sovereign Immunity. Each of the Loan Parties, in respect of itself, its Subsidiaries, its process agents, and its properties and revenues, hereby irrevocably agrees that, to the extent that Parent, the Borrowers, or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of its properties has or may hereafter acquire any right of immunity, whether characterized as sovereign immunity or otherwise, from any legal proceedings, whether in the United States or elsewhere, to enforce or collect upon the Loans or any Loan Document or any other liability or obligation of Parent, the Borrowers, or any of their respective Subsidiaries related to or arising from the transactions contemplated by any of the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, immunity from service of process, immunity from jurisdiction or judgment of any court or tribunal, immunity from execution of a judgment, and immunity of any of its property from attachment prior to any entry of judgment, or from attachment in aid of execution upon a judgment, Parent and the Borrowers, for themselves and on behalf of their respective Subsidiaries, hereby expressly waive, to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, any such immunity, and agree not to assert any such right or claim in any such proceeding, whether in the United States or elsewhere. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent and the Lead Borrower further agree that the waivers set forth in this Section 13.17 shall have the fullest extent permitted under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 of the United States and are intended to be irrevocable for purposes of such Act.

11.18    INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT.

(b)    EACH LENDER, ISSUING BANK AND OTHER SECURED PARTY (I) UNDERSTANDS, ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT (AND EACH OF ITS SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS) AND EACH OTHER SECURED PARTY (AND EACH OF THEIR SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS) SHALL BE BOUND BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, WHICH IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES MAY REQUIRE (AS MORE FULLY PROVIDED THEREIN) THE TAKING OF CERTAIN ACTIONS BY THE LENDERS OR OTHER SECURED PARTIES, INCLUDING THE PURCHASE AND SALE OF PARTICIPATIONS BY VARIOUS LENDERS TO EACH OTHER IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS THEREOF, AND (II) WITHOUT LIMITING ANYTHING ELSE CONTAINED HEREIN, AUTHORIZES THE AGENT TO ENTER INTO ANY “ADDITIONAL DEBT INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT” OR ANY “PERMITTED JUNIOR DEBT INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT” (IN EACH CASE, AS DEFINED HEREIN) AND ANY OTHER INTERCREDITOR OR SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT (AND ANY AMENDMENTS, AMENDMENTS AND RESTATEMENTS, RESTATEMENTS OR WAIVERS OF OR SUPPLEMENTS TO OR OTHER MODIFICATIONS TO, ANY OF THE FOREGOING) AND TO TAKE ALL ACTIONS (AND EXECUTE ALL DOCUMENTS) REQUIRED (OR OTHERWISE DEEMED ADVISABLE BY THE AGENT) IN CONNECTION WITH THE INCURRENCE BY ANY LOAN PARTY OF ANY INDEBTEDNESS PERMITTED HEREUNDER, IN ORDER TO PERMIT SUCH INDEBTEDNESS TO BE SECURED BY A VALID, PERFECTED LIEN (IF PERMITTED HEREUNDER) AND/OR TO HAVE THE PRIORITY CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND EACH LENDER, ISSUING BANK AND OTHER

164

SECURED PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY SUCH INTERCREDITOR OR SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT WILL BE BINDING UPON IT.

(c)    EACH OF THE LENDERS, THE ISSUING BANKS AND THE OTHER SECURED PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY (I) CONSENTS TO THE TREATMENT OF LIENS TO BE PROVIDED FOR UNDER THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND ANY ADDITIONAL DEBT INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT OR ANY PERMITTED JUNIOR DEBT INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, (II) AGREES THAT, UPON THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY THEREOF, SUCH SECURED PARTY WILL BE BOUND BY THE PROVISIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND ANY ADDITIONAL DEBT INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT OR ANY PERMITTED JUNIOR DEBT INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AS IF IT WERE A SIGNATORY THERETO AND WILL TAKE NO ACTIONS CONTRARY TO THE PROVISIONS THEREOF, (III) AGREES THAT NO SECURED PARTY SHALL HAVE ANY RIGHT OF ACTION WHATSOEVER AGAINST THE AGENT AS A RESULT OF ANY ACTION TAKEN BY THE AGENT PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION OR IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT OR ANY ADDITIONAL DEBT INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT OR ANY PERMITTED JUNIOR DEBT INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND (IV) AUTHORIZES AND DIRECTS THE AGENT TO CARRY OUT THE PROVISIONS AND INTENT OF EACH SUCH DOCUMENT.

(d)    EACH OF THE LENDERS, THE ISSUING BANKS AND THE OTHER SECURED PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY FURTHER AUTHORIZES AND DIRECTS THE AGENT TO EXECUTE AND DELIVER, IN EACH CASE ON BEHALF OF SUCH SECURED PARTY AND WITHOUT ANY FURTHER CONSENT, AUTHORIZATION OR OTHER ACTION BY SUCH SECURED PARTY, ANY AMENDMENTS, SUPPLEMENTS OR OTHER MODIFICATIONS OF ANY SECURITY DOCUMENT TO ADD OR REMOVE ANY LEGEND THAT MAY BE REQUIRED PURSUANT TO THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, ANY ADDITIONAL DEBT INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT OR ANY PERMITTED JUNIOR DEBT INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT.

(e)    THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 13.18 ARE NOT INTENDED TO SUMMARIZE OR FULLY DESCRIBE THE PROVISIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. REFERENCE MUST BE MADE TO THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT ITSELF TO UNDERSTAND ALL TERMS AND CONDITIONS THEREOF. EACH LENDER, ISSUING BANK AND OTHER SECURED PARTY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING ITS OWN ANALYSIS AND REVIEW OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS THEREOF, AND NO AGENT OR ANY OF AFFILIATES MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION TO ANY LENDER, ISSUING BANK OR OTHER SECURED PARTY AS TO THE SUFFICIENCY OR ADVISABILITY OF THE PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. A COPY OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE AGENT.

(f)    THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT IS AN AGREEMENT SOLELY AMONGST THE LENDERS AND OTHER SECURED PARTIES (AND THEIR SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS) AND IS NOT AN AGREEMENT TO WHICH THE LEAD BORROWER OR ANY OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES IS PARTY. AS MORE FULLY PROVIDED THEREIN, THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT CAN ONLY BE AMENDED BY THE PARTIES THERETO IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS THEREOF.

11.19    Absence of Fiduciary Relationship. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any provision of any other Loan Document, (i) none of the Joint Lead Arrangers or any Lender shall, solely by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, have any fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship or duty in respect of any Lender or any other Person and (ii) Parent and the Borrowers hereby

165

waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims they may have against any Joint Lead Arranger or any Lender for breach of fiduciary duty or alleged breach of fiduciary duty.

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

11.21    Release of Liens and Guarantees.

(f)    Any Loan Party (other than Parent or the Lead Borrower) shall automatically be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, and all security interests created by the Security Documents in Collateral owned by such Loan Party shall be automatically released, upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by this Agreement as a result of which such Loan Party ceases to be a Subsidiary; provided that, if so required by this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall have consented to such transaction and the terms of such consent shall not have provided otherwise. In the event any Loan Party (other than Parent or the Lead Borrower) shall be or shall become an Excluded Subsidiary, such Loan Party shall, upon request of the Lead Borrower (or, if such Loan Party shall become an Excluded Subsidiary as a result of the designation thereof as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, automatically without any further action by any Secured Party or any other Person), be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, and all security interests created by the Security Documents in Collateral owned by such Loan Party shall be, upon request of the Lead Borrower (or, in the circumstances described above, automatically), released; provided that if such Subsidiary is a Loan Party that owns any Collateral included in the Borrowing Base, no such release shall be effective unless and until the Lead Borrower shall have (i) delivered to the Agent a completed Borrowing Base Certificate calculating and certifying the Borrowing Base and Availability as of the most recent date for which a calculation of the Borrowing Base shall have been delivered pursuant to Section 9.16(a) giving pro forma effect to such Subsidiary becoming an Excluded Subsidiary as if effected immediately prior to such date and (ii) substantially simultaneously with the delivery of the Borrowing Base Certificate referred to in clause (i), to the extent that Aggregate Exposure would otherwise exceed the Borrowing Base then in effect, prepaid Loans and/or Cash Collateralized Letters of Credit in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess. Upon any sale or other transfer by any Loan Party (other than to any other Loan Party) of any Collateral in a transaction permitted under this Agreement, upon any asset ceasing to be, or ceasing to be required to be, Collateral as a result of becoming Excluded Property, or upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security interest created under any Security Document in any Collateral pursuant to Section 13.10, the security interests in such Collateral created by the Security Documents shall be automatically released without any further action by any Secured Party or any other Person.

(g)    Upon termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than (i) contingent indemnification obligations and expense reimbursement obligations not yet due and payable and (ii) unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Agent and/or Lenders are exercising remedies provided in Section 11 of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable and the Letter of Credit Exposure has automatically been required to be Cash Collateralized as set forth in Section 11, Bank Product Obligations) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (unless Cash Collateralized or backstopped on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and Issuing Banks), all security interests created by the Security Documents and all guarantees created by Loan Documents shall be automatically terminated and released without any further action by any Secured Party or any other Person.

166

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

11.22    Judgment Currency.

(b)    If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in one currency into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency at the Agent’s principal office in London at 11:00 A.M. (London time) on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.

(c)    The obligation of each Loan Party in respect of any sum due from it in any currency (the “Relevant Currency”) to any Lender or the Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any other currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Agent (including by the Agent on behalf of such Lender, as the case may be), of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Relevant Currency with such other currency. If the amount of the Relevant Currency so purchased is less than such sum due to such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) in the Relevant Currency, each Loan Party agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) against such loss, and if the amount of the Relevant Currency so purchased exceeds such sum due to any Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) in the Relevant Currency, such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) agrees to promptly remit to the applicable Loan Party such excess.

11.23    Substitution of Currency; Changes in Market Practices.

(c)    If a change in any foreign currency occurs pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation of any governmental, monetary or multi-national authority, this Agreement (including, without limitation, the definition of LIBO Rate) will be amended to the extent determined by the Agent to be necessary to reflect the change in currency (and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to such change in currency) and to put the Lender Group and the Borrowers in the same position, so far as possible, that they would have been in if no change in such foreign currency had occurred.

(d)    Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Agent may from time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect the adoption of the Euro by any member state of the European Union and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the Euro.

11.24    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 that are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate

167

therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

In recognition of the direct and indirect benefits to be received by Guarantors from the proceeds of the Loans, the issuance of the Letters of Credit, and the entering into of the Bank Product Agreements and by virtue of the financial accommodations to be made to the Borrowers, each of the Guarantors, jointly and severally, hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety the full and prompt payment when due, whether upon maturity, acceleration, or otherwise, of all of the Guarantied Obligations. If any or all of the Obligations becomes due and payable, each of the Guarantors, unconditionally and irrevocably, and without the need for demand, protest, or any other notice or formality, promises to pay the full amount of such Obligations to the Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Group and the Bank Product Providers, together with any and all reasonable invoiced out-of-pocket expenses that may be incurred by the Agent or any other member of the Lender Group or any Bank Product Provider in demanding, enforcing, or collecting any of the Guarantied Obligations (including the enforcement of any collateral for such Obligations or any collateral for the obligations of the Guarantors under this Guaranty). If claim is ever made upon the Agent or any other member of the Lender

[[NYCORP:3506612v18:3178W: 02/05/2015--10:48 AM]]

Group or any Bank Product Provider for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment of or on account of any or all of the Obligations and any of the Agent or any other member of the Lender Group or any Bank Product Provider repays all or part of said amount by reason of (i) any judgment, decree, or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such payee or any of its property, or (ii) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by such payee with any such claimant (including any Borrower or any Guarantor), then and in each such event, each of the Guarantors agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement, or compromise shall be binding upon the Guarantors, notwithstanding any revocation (or purported revocation) of this Guaranty or other instrument evidencing any liability of any Grantor, and the Guarantors shall be and remain liable to the aforesaid payees hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by any such payee.

Additionally, each of the Guarantors unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the payment of any and all of the Obligations to the Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Group and the Bank Product Providers, whether or not due or payable by any Loan Party upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 11.05 of the Credit Agreement, and irrevocably and unconditionally promises to pay the full amount of such Obligations to the Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Group and the Bank Product Providers, without the requirement of demand, protest, or any other notice or other formality, in lawful money of the United States.

The liability of each of the Guarantors hereunder is primary, absolute, and unconditional, and is independent of any security for or other guaranty of the Obligations, whether executed by any other Guarantor or by any other Person, and the liability of each of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be affected or impaired by (i) any payment on, or in reduction of, any such other guaranty or undertaking, (ii) any dissolution, termination, or increase, decrease, or change in personnel by any Grantor, (iii) any payment made to the Agent, any other member of the Lender Group, or any Bank Product Provider on account of the Obligations which the Agent, such other member of the Lender Group, or such Bank Product Provider repays to any Grantor pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding (or any settlement or compromise of any claim made in such a proceeding relating to such payment), and each of the Guarantors waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding, or (iv) any action or inaction by the Agent, any other member of the Lender Group, or any Bank Product Provider, or (v) any invalidity, irregularity, avoidability, or unenforceability of all or any part of the Obligations or of any security therefor.

This Guaranty includes all present and future Guarantied Obligations including any under transactions continuing, compromising, extending, increasing, modifying, releasing, or renewing the Guarantied Obligations, changing the interest rate, payment terms, or other terms and conditions thereof, or creating new or additional Guarantied Obligations after prior Guarantied Obligations have been satisfied in whole or in part. To the maximum extent permitted by law, each Guarantor hereby waives any right to revoke this Guaranty as to future Guarantied Obligations. If such a revocation is effective notwithstanding the foregoing waiver, each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that (i) no such revocation shall be effective until written notice thereof has been received by the Agent, (ii) no such revocation shall apply to any Guarantied Obligations in existence on the date of receipt by the Agent of such written notice (including any subsequent continuation, extension, or renewal thereof, or change in the interest rate, payment terms, or other terms and conditions thereof), (iii) no such revocation shall apply to any Guarantied Obligations made or created after such date to the extent made or created pursuant to a legally binding commitment of any member of the Lender Group or any Bank Product Provider in existence on the date of such revocation, (iv) no payment by any Guarantor, any Borrower, or from any other source, prior to the date of the Agent’s receipt of written notice of such revocation shall reduce the maximum obligation of such Guarantor hereunder, and (v) any payment by any Borrower or from any source other than such Guarantor subsequent to the date of such revocation shall first be applied to that portion of the Guarantied Obligations as to which the revocation is effective and which are not, therefore, guarantied hereunder, and to the extent so applied shall not reduce the maximum obligation of such Guarantor hereunder. This Guaranty shall be binding upon each Guarantor, its successors and assigns and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Agent (for the benefit of the Lender Group and the Bank Product Providers) and its successors, transferees, or assigns.

The guaranty by each of the Guarantors hereunder is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. The obligations of each of the Guarantors hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other Guarantor or Grantor or any other Person and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against one or more of the Guarantors whether or not action is brought against any other Guarantor or Grantor or any other Person and whether or not any other Guarantor or Grantor or any other Person be joined in any such action or actions. Each of the

Guarantors waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof. Any payment by any Grantor or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to any Grantor shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to each of the Guarantors.

Each of the Guarantors authorizes the Agent, the other members of the Lender Group, and the Bank Product Providers without notice or demand, and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to:

change the manner, place, or terms of payment of, or change or extend the time of payment of, renew, increase, accelerate, or alter: (A) any of the Obligations (including any increase or decrease in the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest or fees thereon); or (B) any security therefor or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, and this Guaranty shall apply to the Obligations as so changed, extended, renewed, or altered;

take and hold security for the payment of the Obligations and sell, exchange, release, impair, surrender, realize upon, collect, settle, or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any property at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure the Obligations or any of the Guarantied Obligations (including any of the obligations of all or any of the Guarantors under this Guaranty) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, or any offset on account thereof;

exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against any Grantor;

release or substitute any one or more endorsers, guarantors, any Grantor, or other obligors;

settle or compromise any of the Obligations, any security therefor, or any liability (including any of those of any of the Guarantors under this Guaranty) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of any Grantor to its creditors;

apply any sums by whomever paid or however realized to any liability or liabilities of any Grantor to the Agent, any other member of the Lender Group, or any Bank Product Provider regardless of what liability or liabilities of such Grantor remain unpaid;

consent to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission, or default under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Bank Product Agreement, or any of the instruments or agreements referred to herein or therein, or otherwise amend, modify, or supplement this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Bank Product Agreement, or any of such other instruments or agreements; or

take any other action that could, under otherwise applicable principles of law, give rise to a legal or equitable discharge of one or more of the Guarantors from all or part of its liabilities under this Guaranty.

It is not necessary for the Agent, any other member of the Lender Group, or any Bank Product Provider to inquire into the capacity or powers of any of the Guarantors or the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on their behalf, and any Obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.

Each Guarantor jointly and severally guarantees that the Guarantied Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, regardless of any law, regulation, or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of any member of the Lender Group or any Bank Product Provider with respect thereto. The obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty are independent of the Guarantied Obligations, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor to enforce such obligations, irrespective of whether any action is brought against any other Guarantor or whether any other Guarantor is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defense it may now or hereafter have in any way relating to, any or all of the following:

The Agent may, at the election of the Required Lenders, foreclose upon any Collateral held by the Agent by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales or other dispositions, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable or otherwise fails to comply with applicable law or may exercise any other right or remedy the Agent, any other member of the Lender Group, or any Bank Product Provider may have against any Grantor or any other Person, or any security, in each case, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any of the Guarantors hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have been paid.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor hereby waives: (A) any right to assert against any member of the Lender Group or any Bank Product Provider, any defense (legal or equitable), set-off, counterclaim, or claim which each Guarantor may now or at any time hereafter have against any Borrower or any other party liable to any member of the Lender Group or any Bank Product Provider; (B) any defense, set-off, counterclaim, or claim, of any kind or nature, arising directly or indirectly from the present or future lack of perfection, sufficiency, validity, or enforceability of the Guarantied Obligations or any security therefor; (C) any right or defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by any member of the Lender Group or any Bank Product Provider including any defense based upon an impairment or elimination of such Guarantor’s rights of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution, or indemnity of such Guarantor against any Borrower or other guarantors or sureties; and (D) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof, and any act which shall defer or delay the operation of any statute of limitations applicable to the Guarantied Obligations shall similarly operate to defer or delay the operation of such statute of limitations applicable to such Guarantor’s liability hereunder.

No Guarantor will exercise any rights that it may now or hereafter acquire against any Grantor or any other guarantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty, including any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Agent, any other member of the Lender Group, or any Bank Product Provider against any Grantor or any other guarantor or any Collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including the right to take or receive from any Grantor or any other guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security solely on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until all of the Guarantied Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full in cash and all of the Commitments have been terminated. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to the repayment in full of the Guarantied Obligations, then such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Group and the Bank Product Providers, and shall forthwith be paid to the Agent in the same form as received by such Guarantor to be credited and applied to the Guarantied Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, or to be held as Collateral for any Guarantied Obligations or other amounts payable under this Guaranty thereafter arising.

Each of the Guarantors hereby acknowledges and affirms that it understands that to the extent the Obligations are secured by Real Property located in California, Guarantors shall be liable for the full amount of the liability hereunder notwithstanding the foreclosure on such Real Property by trustee sale or any other reason impairing such Guarantor’s right to proceed against any Loan Party. In accordance with Section 2856 of the California Code of Civil Procedure or any similar laws of any other applicable jurisdiction, each of the Guarantors hereby waives until such time as the Obligations have been paid in full:

all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification, and contribution and any other rights and defenses that are or may become available to the Guarantors by reason of Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, 2899, and 3433 of the California Code of Civil Procedure or any similar laws of any other applicable jurisdiction;

all rights and defenses that the Guarantors may have because the Obligations are secured by Real Property located in California, meaning, among other things, that: (A) the Agent, the other members of the Lender Group, and the Bank Product Providers may collect from the Guarantors without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by any Borrower or any other Grantor, and (B) if the Agent, on behalf of the Lender Group, forecloses on any Real Property collateral pledged by any Borrower or any other Grantor, (1) the amount of the Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price, and (2) the Lender Group may collect from the Guarantors even if, by foreclosing on the Real Property collateral, the Agent or the other members of the Lender Group have destroyed or impaired any right the Guarantors may have to collect from any other Grantor, it being understood that this is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses the Guarantors may have because the Obligations are secured by Real Property (including, without limitation, any rights or defenses based upon Sections 580a,

15

[[NYCORP:3506612v18:3178W: 02/05/2015--10:48 AM]]

580d, or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure or any similar laws of any other applicable jurisdiction); and

all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the Agent, the other members of the Lender Group, and the Bank Product Providers, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for the Obligations, has destroyed Guarantors’ rights of subrogation and reimbursement against any Grantor by the operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or any similar laws of any other applicable jurisdiction or otherwise.

Each of the Guarantors acknowledges and agrees that it is a guarantor, not a surety, under this Agreement.

Each of the Guarantors represents, warrants, and agrees that each of the waivers set forth above is made with full knowledge of its significance and consequences and that if any of such waivers are determined to be contrary to any applicable law or public policy, such waivers shall be effective to the maximum extent permitted by law.

The provisions in this Section 2 which refer to certain sections of the California Civil Code are included in this Guaranty solely out of an abundance of caution and shall not be construed to mean that any of the above-referenced provisions of California law are in any way applicable to this Guaranty.

Maximum Liability. Anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, in any action or proceeding involving any applicable state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization law or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall in no event exceed the highest amount that can be guaranteed by such Guarantor under applicable federal and state laws relating to the insolvency of debtors in such action or proceeding.

Indemnity and Subrogation.

Subject to Sections 2(h) and (i), in addition to all such rights of indemnity and subrogation as the Guarantors may have under applicable law, Parent and the Lead Borrower agree that (A) in the event a payment of an obligation shall be made by any Guarantor (other than Parent or the Lead Borrower) under this Agreement, Parent and the Lead Borrower shall indemnify such Guarantor for the full amount of such payment and such Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the Person to whom such payment shall have been made to the extent of such payment and (B) in the event any assets of any Grantor (other than Parent or the Lead Borrower) shall be sold pursuant to this Agreement or any other Security Document to satisfy in whole or in part an obligation owed to any member of the Lender Group or any Bank Product Provider, Parent and the Lead Borrower shall indemnify such Grantor in an amount equal to the greater of the book value or the fair market value of the assets so sold.

Subject to Sections 2(h) and (i), each Guarantor and Grantor (a “Contributing Party”) agrees that, in the event a payment shall be made by any other Guarantor (other than Parent or the Lead Borrower) hereunder in respect of any Guarantied Obligation or assets of any other Grantor (other than Parent or the Lead Borrower) shall be sold pursuant to any Security Document to satisfy any Secured Obligation owed to any member of the Lender Group or any Bank Product Provider and such other Guarantor or Grantor (the “Claiming Party”) shall not have been fully indemnified by Parent or the Lead Borrower as provided in Section 2(k)(i), the Contributing Party shall indemnify the Claiming Party in an amount equal to the amount of such payment or the greater of the book value or the fair market value of such assets (the “Indemnified Amount”), as the case may be, in each case multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the net worth of the Contributing Party on the date hereof and the denominator shall be the aggregate net worth of all the Guarantors and Grantors on the date hereof (or, in the case of any Guarantor or Grantor becoming a party hereto pursuant to Section 26, the date of the Joinder to this Agreement executed and delivered by such Guarantor or Grantor). Subject to Sections 2(h) and (i), any Contributing Party making any payment to a Claiming Party pursuant to this Section 2(k)(ii) shall be subrogated to the rights of such Claiming Party under Section 2(i) to the extent of such payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any Claiming Party’s right to indemnification hereunder arises from a payment or sale of Collateral made to satisfy Guarantied Obligations or Secured Obligations constituting Swap Obligations, only those Contributing Parties for whom such Swap Obligations do not constitute Excluded Swap Obligations shall indemnify such Claiming Party,

with the fraction set forth in the second preceding sentence being modified as appropriate to provide for indemnification of the entire Indemnified Amount.

The provisions of Sections 2(k)(i) and (ii) above shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor or Grantor to the Agent, the Lender Group and the Bank Product Providers under the Loan Documents and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Agent, the Lender Group and the Bank Product Providers for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.

Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Loan Party jointly and severally (together with each other Qualified ECP Loan Party) hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably (i) guarantees the prompt payment and performance of all Swap Obligations owing by each Non-Qualifying Party (it being understood and agreed that this guarantee is a guaranty of payment and not of collection), and (ii) undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by any Non-Qualifying Party to honor all of such Non‑Qualifying Party’s obligations under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Loan Party shall only be liable under this Section 2(l) for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 2(l), or otherwise under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, voidable under applicable law, including applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Loan Party under this Section 2(l) shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Qualified ECP Loan Party intends that this Section 2(l) constitute, and this Section 2(l) shall be deemed to constitute, a guarantee of the obligations of, and a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the CEA.

Grantors acknowledge and agree that the Lender Group shall have no duties with respect to any Intellectual Property or Intellectual Property Licenses of any Grantor. Without limiting the generality of this Section 7(f)(iii), Grantors acknowledge and agree that no member of the Lender Group shall be under any obligation to take any steps necessary to preserve rights in the Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property or Intellectual Property Licenses against any other Person, but the Agent may do so at its option from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and all reasonable invoiced out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection therewith (including reasonable invoiced fees and expenses of attorneys and other professionals) shall be for the sole account of the Borrowers;

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, following the request of the Agent, all sums of money and property paid or distributed in respect of the Investment Property that are received by any Grantor shall be held by the Grantors in trust for the benefit of the Agent segregated from such Grantor’s other property, and such Grantor shall deliver it forthwith to the Agent in the exact form received;

No Grantor shall make or consent to any amendment or other modification or waiver with respect to any Pledged Interests, Pledged Operating Agreement, or Pledged Partnership Agreement, or enter into any agreement or permit to exist any restriction with respect to any Pledged Interests, in each case if the same is prohibited pursuant to the Loan Documents;

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor agrees that it will cooperate with the Agent in obtaining all necessary approvals and making all necessary filings under federal, state, local, or foreign law to effect any sale or transfer thereof; and

[Reserved].

Transfers and Other Liens. Grantors shall not (i) sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise) or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of the Collateral, except as expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement, or (ii) create or permit to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any of the Collateral of any Grantor, except for Permitted Liens. The inclusion of Proceeds in the Collateral shall not be deemed to constitute the Agent’s consent to any sale or other disposition of any of the Collateral except as expressly permitted in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

Controlled Accounts; Controlled Investments. Each Grantor will comply with the terms of Sections 9.16(c), (d) and (e) of the Credit Agreement as if it were a party to the Credit Agreement as a “Loan Party.”

Relation to Other Security Documents. The provisions of this Agreement shall be read and construed with the other Loan Documents referred to below in the manner so indicated.

Credit Agreement. In the event of any conflict between any provision in this Agreement and a provision in the Credit Agreement, such provision of the Credit Agreement shall control.

The provisions of the Copyright Security Agreements, Trademark Security Agreements, and Patent Security Agreements are supplemental to the provisions of this Agreement, and nothing contained in the Copyright Security Agreements, Trademark Security Agreements, or the Patent Security Agreements shall limit any of the rights or remedies of the Agent hereunder. In the event of any conflict between any provision in this Agreement and a provision in a Copyright Security Agreement, Trademark Security Agreement or Patent Security Agreement, such provision of this Agreement shall control.

Further Assurances.

Each Grantor agrees that from time to time, at its own expense, such Grantor will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that the Agent may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect the Security Interest granted hereby, to create, perfect or protect the Security Interest purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any of the Collateral; except that no filings with respect to Intellectual Property registered in non-US jurisdictions shall be required other than in those countries and against those Trademarks as set forth in Schedule 13 hereto.

Each Grantor authorizes the filing by the Agent of financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto in the jurisdictions set forth in Schedule 11 and any other jurisdictions reasonably determined by the Agent to be appropriate.

Each Grantor authorizes the Agent at any time and from time to time to file, transmit, or communicate, as applicable, financing statements and amendments (i) describing the Collateral as “all personal property of debtor” or “all assets of debtor” or words of similar effect, (ii) describing the Collateral as being of equal or lesser scope or with greater detail, or (iii) that contain any information required by part 5 of Article 9 of the Code for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance. Each Grantor also hereby ratifies any and all financing statements or amendments previously filed by the Agent in any jurisdiction.

Each Grantor acknowledges that it is not authorized to file any financing statement or amendment or termination statement with respect to any financing statement filed in connection with this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Agent, subject to such Grantor’s rights under Section 9-509(d)(2) of the Code.

At the time of delivery of the Section 9.01 Financials, in connection with the delivery of the related compliance certificate required by Section 9.01(e) of the Credit Agreement, (i) the Lead Borrower shall certify that there have been no changes to Schedule 3(b) to the Perfection Certificate since the Closing Date or, if later, since the date of the most recent compliance certificate delivered pursuant to Section 9.01(e) of the Credit Agreement, or if there have been any such changes, set forth such changes in such compliance certificate and, if requested by the Agent, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a bailee letter acknowledged by such Bailee (as that term

26

[[NYCORP:3506612v18:3178W: 02/05/2015--10:48 AM]]

is defined in the Perfection Certificate) that notifies such Bailee of the Agent’s security interest in such Collateral and instructs such Bailee to hold all such Collateral for the Agent’s account subject to the Agent’s instructions, and (ii) if any Collateral in an aggregate amount (for any one location) in excess of $100,000 is located on any Real Property of the Grantor that is leased by the Grantor from a third party, then the Lead Borrower shall certify that there have been no changes to such locations since the Closing Date or, if later, since the date of the most recent compliance certificate delivered pursuant to Section 9.01(e) of the Credit Agreement, or if there have been any such changes, set forth such changes in such compliance certificate and, if requested by the Agent, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a Collateral Access Agreement that, inter alia, waives or subordinates all present and future Liens which the owner or lessor of such premises may be entitled to assert against the Collateral, and that allows the Agent access to such Real Property for the purpose of inspecting the Collateral or exercising its remedies under the Loan Documents subject to conditions to be mutually agreed among the parties thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or at any time during which Availability shall be less than the greater of 20% of the Line Cap or $20,000,000, at the request of the Agent the Lead Borrower shall deliver to the Agent the certifications set forth in subsections (i) and (ii) above on the last Business Day of each calendar month or promptly upon the request of the Agent.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) control agreements or other perfection by “control” shall not be required with respect to any Collateral, other than with respect to certificated Pledged Interests (other than certificated Pledged Interests constituting Equity Interests in any partnership, joint venture or Subsidiary that is not a Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiary) or evidences of Pledged Notes to the extent required under Section 7(a) and, in the case of Deposit Accounts, as expressly required under Section 7(j) or under the Credit Agreement and (ii) no Grantor shall be required to take any actions outside of the United States to perfect the Agent’s Security Interest in any Collateral.

Agent’s Right to Perform Contracts, Exercise Rights, etc. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Agent (or its designee) (a) may proceed to perform any and all of the obligations of any Grantor contained in any contract, lease, or other agreement and exercise any and all rights of any Grantor therein contained as fully as such Grantor itself could, (b) shall have the right to use any Grantor’s rights under Intellectual Property Licenses in connection with the enforcement of the Agent’s rights hereunder, including the right to prepare for sale and sell any and all Inventory and Equipment now or hereafter owned by any Grantor and now or hereafter covered by such licenses, and (c) shall have the right to request that any Equity Interests that are pledged hereunder be registered in the name of the Agent or any of its nominees.

Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Agent its attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or otherwise, at such time as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Credit Agreement, to take any action and to execute any instrument which the Agent may reasonably deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including:

to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in connection with the Accounts or any other Collateral of such Grantor;

to receive and open all mail addressed to such Grantor and to notify postal authorities to change the address for the delivery of mail to such Grantor to that of the Agent;

to receive, indorse, and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents, Negotiable Collateral or Chattel Paper;

to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which the Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral of such Grantor or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Agent with respect to any of the Collateral;

to repair, alter, or supply goods, if any, necessary to fulfill in whole or in part the purchase order of any Person obligated to such Grantor in respect of any Account of such Grantor;

to use any Intellectual Property or Intellectual Property Licenses of such Grantor, including but not limited to any labels, Patents, Trademarks, trade names, URLs, domain names, industrial designs, Copyrights, or advertising

27

[[NYCORP:3506612v18:3178W: 02/05/2015--10:48 AM]]

matter, in preparing for sale, advertising for sale, or selling Inventory or other Collateral and to collect any amounts due under Accounts, contracts or Negotiable Collateral of such Grantor; and

the Agent, on behalf of the Lender Group or the Bank Product Providers, shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to bring suit in its own name to enforce the Intellectual Property and Intellectual Property Licenses and, if the Agent shall commence any such suit, the appropriate Grantor shall, at the request of the Agent, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all proper documents reasonably required by the Agent in aid of such enforcement.

To the extent permitted by law, each Grantor hereby ratifies all that such attorney-in-fact shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated.

Agent May Perform. If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, the Agent may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the reasonable invoiced out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable, jointly and severally, by the Grantors.

Agent’s Duties. The powers conferred on the Agent hereunder are solely to protect the Agent’s interest in the Collateral, for the benefit of the Lender Group and the Bank Product Providers, and shall not impose any duty upon the Agent to exercise any such powers. Except for the exercise of reasonable care to assure the safe custody of any Collateral in its actual possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its actual possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Agent accords its own property.

Collection of Accounts, General Intangibles and Negotiable Collateral. At any time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Agent or the Agent’s designee may (a) notify Account Debtors of any Grantor that the Accounts, General Intangibles, Chattel Paper or Negotiable Collateral of such Grantor have been assigned to the Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Group and the Bank Product Providers, or that the Agent has a security interest therein, and (b) collect the Accounts, General Intangibles and Negotiable Collateral of any Grantor directly, and any collection costs and expenses shall constitute part of such Grantor’s Secured Obligations under the Loan Documents.

Disposition of Pledged Interests by the Agent. None of the Pledged Interests existing as of the date of this Agreement are, and none of the Pledged Interests hereafter acquired on the date of acquisition thereof will be, registered or qualified under the various federal or state securities laws of the United States and disposition thereof after an Event of Default may be restricted to one or more private (instead of public) sales in view of the lack of such registration. Each Grantor understands that in connection with such disposition, the Agent may approach only a restricted number of potential purchasers and further understands that a sale under such circumstances may yield a lower price for the Pledged Interests than if the Pledged Interests were registered and qualified pursuant to federal and state securities laws and sold on the open market. Each Grantor, therefore, agrees that: (a) if the Agent shall, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, sell or cause the Pledged Interests or any portion thereof to be sold at a private sale, the Agent shall have the right to rely upon the advice and opinion of any nationally recognized brokerage or investment firm (but shall not be obligated to seek such advice and the failure to do so shall not be considered in determining the commercial reasonableness of such action) as to the best manner in which to offer the Pledged Interest or any portion thereof for sale and as to the best price reasonably obtainable at the private sale thereof; and (b) such reliance shall be conclusive evidence that the Agent has handled the disposition in a commercially reasonable manner.

Voting and Other Rights in Respect of Pledged Interests.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, (i) the Agent may, at its option, upon concurrent written notice to the Lead Borrower, and in addition to all rights and remedies available to the Agent under any other agreement, at law, in equity, or otherwise, exercise all voting rights, or any other ownership or consensual rights (including any dividend or distribution rights) in respect of the Pledged Interests owned by such Grantor, but under no circumstances is the Agent obligated by the terms of this Agreement to exercise such rights,

28

[[NYCORP:3506612v18:3178W: 02/05/2015--10:48 AM]]

and (ii) if the Agent duly exercises its right to vote any of such Pledged Interests, each Grantor hereby appoints the Agent, such Grantor’s true and lawful ATTORNEY-IN-FACT and IRREVOCABLE PROXY to vote such Pledged Interests in any manner the Agent deems advisable for or against all matters submitted or which may be submitted to a vote of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be. The power-of-attorney and proxy granted hereby is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until the Secured Obligations have been paid in full.

For so long as any Grantor shall have the right to vote the Pledged Interests owned by it, such Grantor covenants and agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the Agent, vote or take any consensual action with respect to such Pledged Interests which would materially adversely affect the rights of the Agent or the other members of the Lender Group.

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

The Agent may, and, at the instruction of the Required Lenders, shall exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein, in the other Loan Documents, or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the Code or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor expressly agrees that, in any such event, the Agent without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except a notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and notices are hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the Code or any other applicable law), may take immediate possession of all or any portion of the Collateral and (i) require Grantors to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its own expense and upon request of the Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Agent and make it available to the Agent at one or more locations where such Grantor regularly maintains Inventory, and (ii) without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit, and upon such other terms as the Agent may deem commercially reasonable. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notification of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days notification prior to the date of such sale by mail to the applicable Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification and specifically such notification shall constitute a reasonable “authenticated notification of disposition” within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the Code. The Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notification of sale having been given. The Agent may adjourn any public sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Grantor agrees that (A) the internet shall constitute a “place” for purposes of Section 9-610(b) of the Code and (B) to the extent notification of sale shall be required by law, notification by mail of the URL where a sale will occur and the time when a sale will commence at least ten (10) days prior to the sale shall constitute a reasonable notification for purposes of Section 9-611(b) of the Code. Each Grantor agrees that any sale of Collateral to a licensor pursuant to the terms of a license agreement between such licensor and a Grantor is sufficient to constitute a commercially reasonable sale (including as to method, terms, manner, and time) within the meaning of Section 9-610(b) of the Code.

The Agent is hereby granted a non-exclusive license or other right to use, without liability for royalties or any other charge, each Grantor’s Intellectual Property, including but not limited to, any labels, Patents, Trademarks, trade names, URLs, domain names, industrial designs, Copyrights, and advertising matter, whether owned by any Grantor or with respect to which any Grantor has rights under license, sublicense, or other agreements (including any Intellectual Property License), as it pertains to the Collateral, in preparing for sale, advertising for sale and selling any Collateral, and each Grantor’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to the benefit of the Agent.

The Agent may, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein, in the other Loan Documents, or otherwise available to it under applicable law and without the requirement of notice to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (which notice is hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the Code or any other applicable law), (i) with respect to any Grantor’s Deposit Accounts in which the Agent’s Liens are perfected by control under Section 9-104 of the Code, instruct the bank maintaining such Deposit Account for the applicable Grantor to pay the balance of such Deposit Account to or for the benefit of the Agent, and (ii) with respect to any Grantor’s Securities Accounts in which the Agent’s Liens are perfected by control under Section 9-106(c) of the Code, instruct the securities intermediary maintaining such Securities Account for the applicable Grantor to (A) transfer any cash in such Securities Account to or for the benefit of the Agent, or (B) liquidate any financial

29

[[NYCORP:3506612v18:3178W: 02/05/2015--10:48 AM]]

assets in such Securities Account that are customarily sold on a recognized market and transfer the cash proceeds thereof to or for the benefit of the Agent.

Any cash held by the Agent as Collateral and all cash proceeds received by the Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied against the Secured Obligations in the order set forth in the Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the proceeds of any sale, collection or realization upon any Collateral of any Grantor, including any Collateral consisting of cash, shall not be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligation of such Grantor and shall instead be applied to other Secured Obligations. In the event the proceeds of Collateral are insufficient to satisfy all of the Secured Obligations in full, each Grantor shall remain jointly and severally liable for any such deficiency.

Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that the Secured Obligations arise out of a commercial transaction, and agrees that if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing the Agent shall have the right to an immediate writ of possession without notice of a hearing. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Agent shall have the right to the appointment of a receiver for the properties and assets of each Grantor, and each Grantor hereby consents to such rights and such appointment and hereby waives any objection such Grantor may have thereto or the right to have a bond or other security posted by the Agent.

Remedies Cumulative. Each right, power, and remedy of the Agent, any other member of the Lender Group, or any Bank Product Provider as provided for in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any Bank Product Agreement now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power, or remedy provided for in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Bank Product Agreements or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by the Agent, any other member of the Lender Group, or any Bank Product Provider, of any one or more of such rights, powers, or remedies shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by the Agent, such other member of the Lender Group or such Bank Product Provider of any or all such other rights, powers, or remedies.

Marshaling. The Agent shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including but not limited to the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Secured Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies, however existing or arising. To the extent that it lawfully may, each Grantor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Agent’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Secured Obligations or under which any of the Secured Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Secured Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, each Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

Indemnity and Expenses.

Each Grantor, jointly and severally, agrees to indemnify the Agent and the other members of the Lender Group from and hold each of them harmless against any and all Indemnified Liabilities as and to the extent provided in Section 13.01(a)(iii) of the Credit Agreement. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Credit Agreement and the repayment of the Secured Obligations.

Each Grantor, jointly and severally, agrees to pay to the Agent all reasonable invoiced out-of-pocket which the Agent may incur in connection with (i) the administration of this Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or, upon an Event of Default, the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral in accordance with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Agent hereunder or (iv) the failure by any Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof, in each case as and to the extent provided in Sections 13.01(a)(i) and 13.01(a)(ii) of the Credit Agreement.

Merger, Amendments; Etc. THIS AGREEMENT, TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. No waiver of any

30

[[NYCORP:3506612v18:3178W: 02/05/2015--10:48 AM]]

provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any Grantor herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Agent and each Grantor to which such amendment applies.

Addresses for Notices. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be given in the form and manner and delivered to the Agent at its address specified in the Credit Agreement, and to any of the Grantors at their respective addresses specified in the Credit Agreement, or, as to any party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other party.

Continuing Security Interest: Assignments under Credit Agreement; Releases.

This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until the Obligations have been paid in full in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement and the Commitments have expired or have been terminated, (ii) be binding upon each Grantor, and their respective successors and assigns, and (iii) inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Agent, and its successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (iii), any Lender may, in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement, assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Lender herein or otherwise.

The Agent shall not by any act, delay, omission or otherwise, be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder, unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the Agent and then only to the extent set forth therein. A waiver by the Agent of any right or remedy on any occasion shall not be construed as a bar to the exercise of any such right or remedy which the Agent would otherwise have had on any other occasion.

The Guaranty, the Security Interest and all other Liens and security interests granted, assigned, pledged or otherwise created or provided hereunder shall terminate and be released at the time or times and in the manner set forth in Section 13.21 of the Credit Agreement.

Survival. All representations and warranties made by the Grantors in this Agreement 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 and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Agent or any member of the Lender Group may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended under the Credit Agreement, 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 the Credit Agreement (other than contingent indemnification obligations and expense reimbursement obligations not yet due and payable) is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding (unless Cash Collateralized or backstopped on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Agent) and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated.

The foregoing shall apply to each other Loan Document mutatis mutandis.

Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof in that jurisdiction or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. Each provision of this Agreement shall be severable from every other provision of this Agreement for the purpose of determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision.

Headings and numbers have been set forth herein for convenience only. Unless the contrary is compelled by the context, everything contained in each Section applies equally to this entire Agreement.

This Agreement has been reviewed by all parties and shall be construed and interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as to accomplish fairly the purposes and intentions of all parties hereto.

Intercreditor Agreements.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event of any conflict between any provision in this Agreement and any provision in the Intercreditor Agreement (or any Additional Debt Intercreditor Agreement or Permitted Junior Debt Intercreditor Agreement), such provision in the Intercreditor Agreement (or such Additional Debt Intercreditor Agreement or Permitted Junior Debt Intercreditor Agreement) shall control.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any obligation of any Grantor hereunder with respect to the delivery of any Collateral that constitutes Noteholder Priority Collateral (or Collateral included in any analogous term under any Additional Debt Intercreditor Agreement) shall be deemed to be satisfied if such Grantor delivers, or has delivered, such Noteholder Priority Collateral (or such Collateral included in any analogous term under any Additional Debt Intercreditor Agreement) to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as collateral agent under the Noteholder Documents (or any Additional Debt Representative under any Additional Debt Documents) in accordance with the requirements of the corresponding provision of the applicable Noteholder Document (or Additional Debt Documents).

FORM OF SOLVENCY CERTIFICATE

February 5, 2015

To the Agent and each of the Lenders party to the Credit Agreement referred to below:

I, the undersigned, the Chief Financial Officer of CHIQUITA BRANDS INTERNATIONAL, INC., a New Jersey corporation (“Parent”), in that capacity only and not in my individual capacity (and without personal liability), do hereby certify as of the date hereof, and based upon facts and circumstances as they exist as of the date hereof (and disclaiming any responsibility for changes in such fact and circumstances after the date hereof), that:

1.    This Certificate is furnished to the Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Section 6.12 of the Credit Agreement, of even date herewith, by and among Parent, CHIQUITA BRANDS L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (the "Lead Borrower"), each U.S. Subsidiary listed as a Borrower on the signature pages thereto and such other U.S. Subsidiaries as the Lead Borrower may designate from time to time (together with the Lead Borrower, the “Borrowers”), the Lenders party thereto from time to time, BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., as the administrative agent and collateral agent (in such capacities, the “Agent”), WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as syndication agent, and MERRILL LYNCH, PIERCE, FENNER & SMITH INCORPORATED and WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunning managers (the “Credit Agreement”). Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Certificate shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.

2.    For purposes of this Certificate, I, or officers of Parent under my direction and supervision:

(a) have reviewed the financial statements (including the proforma financial statements) referred to in Section 6.11 of the Credit Agreement.

(b) have knowledge of and have reviewed to my (or their) satisfaction the Credit Agreement.

(c) am (or are) familiar with the financial condition of Parent and its subsidiaries.

3.    Based on and subject to the foregoing, I hereby certify on behalf of Parent that, as of the Closing Date immediately after giving effect to the consummation of the Transaction and the related financing transactions (including the incurrence of any Loans), Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, are Solvent.

4.     For purposes of this Certificate, “Solvent” means, with respect to Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, as of any date of determination, that (a) at fair valuations, the sum of the debts (including contingent liabilities) of Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, is less than all of the assets of Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (b) Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, are not engaged or about to engage in a business or transaction for which the remaining assets of Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, are unreasonably small in relation to the business or transaction or for which the property remaining with Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, is an unreasonably small capital, and (c) Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, have not incurred and do not intend to incur, or reasonably

believe that they will incur, debts beyond the ability of Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to pay such debts as they become due (whether at maturity or otherwise). For purposes of this definition, the amount of any contingent liability at any time shall be computed as the amount that, in light of all of the facts and circumstances existing at such time, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability (irrespective of whether such contingent liabilities meet the criteria for accrual under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 5).

Such sale and assignment is without recourse to the Assignor and, except as expressly provided in this Assignment Agreement, without representation or warranty by the Assignor.

2.    The Assignor (a) represents and warrants that (i) it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned by it hereunder and that such interest is free and clear of any adverse claim and (ii) it has full power and authority, and has taken all action necessary, to execute and deliver this Assignment Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby; (b) makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to (i) any statements, representations or warranties made in or in connection with the Loan Documents, or (ii) the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of the Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto or any collateral thereunder; (c) makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Borrower or any Guarantor or the performance or observance by any Borrower or any Guarantor of any of their respective obligations under the Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto, and (d) represents and warrants that the amount set forth as the Purchase Price in Annex I represents the amount owed by the Borrowers to the Assignor with respect to the Assignor’s share of the Loans assigned hereunder, as reflected on the Assignor’s books and records.

4.    Following the execution of this Assignment Agreement by the Assignor and the Assignee, the Assignor will deliver this Assignment Agreement to the Agent for recording by the Agent. The effective date of this Assignment Agreement (the “Settlement Date”) shall be the latest to occur of (a) the date of the execution and delivery hereof by the Assignor and the Assignee, (b) the receipt by the Agent for its sole and separate account of a processing fee in the amount of $3,500 (if required by the Credit Agreement), (c) the receipt of any required consents of the Agent, the Lead Borrower, the Swingline Lender and any Issuing Bank and (d) the date specified in Annex I.
