Cautionary Statements on Forward-Looking Information

This Form 10-Q, including the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” contains forward-looking statements relating to our business and financial outlook that are based on our current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue” or other comparable terminology.

These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties, estimates and assumptions. Actual outcomes and results may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on any of these forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and is expressly qualified in its entirety by the cautionary statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2013, particularly under the caption “Risk Factors”. We undertake no obligation to update any such statement to reflect new information, or the occurrence of future events or changes in circumstances, after we distribute this Form 10-Q, except as required by the federal securities laws. Many factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements or could contribute to such differences including:

• general business and economic conditions in the United States, Canada and other countries, including uncertainty as to changes and trends;

• our ability to execute key strategies, including pursuing acquisitions and successfully integrating and operating acquired companies;

• our ability to develop and implement the operational and financial systems needed to manage our operations;

• the ability of our customers and suppliers to obtain financing related to funding their operations in the current economic market;

• the financial condition of our customers, many of which are small businesses with limited financial resources;

• changing relationships with customers, suppliers and strategic partners;

• changes in laws or regulations affecting the tire industry;

• changes in capital and credit market conditions, including availability of funding sources and fluctuations in currency exchange rates;

• impacts of competitive products and changes to the competitive environment;

• acceptance of new products in the market; and

• unanticipated expenditures.

Some of the significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations and projections are described more fully in the “Risk Factors” section of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2013. These risks are not the only risks and uncertainties facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results.

American Tire Distributors Holdings, Inc.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1. Nature of Business:

American Tire Distributors Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”) is a Delaware corporation that owns 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of American Tire Distributors, Inc. (“ATDI”), a Delaware corporation. Holdings has no significant assets or operations other than its ownership of ATDI. The operations of ATDI and its subsidiaries constitute the operations of Holdings presented under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. ATDI is primarily engaged in the wholesale distribution of tires, custom wheels and accessories, and related tire supplies and tools. Its customer base is comprised primarily of independent tire dealers with the remainder of other customers representing various national and corporate accounts. ATDI serves a majority of the contiguous United States, as well as Canada, through one operating and reportable segment. Unless the context otherwise requires, “Company” herein refers to Holdings and its consolidated subsidiaries.

2. Basis of Presentation:

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the consolidated operations of the Company and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) as defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) within the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the consolidated unaudited results for the interim periods presented. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in Holdings Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2013.

The Company’s fiscal year is based on either a 52- or 53-week period ending on the Saturday closest to each December 31. Therefore, the financial results of 53-week fiscal years, and the associated 14-week quarter, will not be comparable to the prior and subsequent 52-week fiscal years and the associated quarters having only 13 weeks. The quarters ended July 5, 2014 and June 29, 2013 each contain operating results for 13 weeks. The six months ended July 5, 2014 contains 27 weeks while the six months ended June 29, 2013 contains 26 weeks. It should be noted that the Company and its recently acquired subsidiaries, Hercules, Terry’s Tire, Trail Tire, Extreme Wheel, Kirks Tire, RTD Edmonton and RTD Calgary, all as defined below, have different quarter-end reporting dates. Each of these acquired subsidiaries has a June 30 quarter-end reporting date. There were no significant changes to the business subsequent to their fiscal period ends that would have a material impact on the condensed consolidated balance sheet or condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss) as of and for the quarter and six months ended July 5, 2014.

On May 28, 2010, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 20, 2010, the Company was acquired by TPG Capital, L.P. and certain co-investors (the “TPG Merger”). Under the guidance provided by the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5J, “New Basis of Accounting Required in Certain Circumstances,” push-down accounting is required when such transactions result in an entity being substantially wholly-owned. Under push-down accounting, certain transactions incurred by the buyer, which would otherwise be accounted for in the accounts of the parent, are “pushed down” and recorded on the financial statements of the subsidiary. Therefore, the basis in shares of the Company’s common stock has been pushed down from the buyer to the Company.

3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists.” ASU 2013-11 clarifies guidance and eliminates diversity in practice on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. This new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2013 and subsequent interim periods. The Company adopted this guidance on December 29, 2013 (the first day of its 2014 fiscal year) and its adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity,” (“ASU 2014-08”). Under ASU 2014-08, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations that have a major effect on the company’s operations and financial results should be presented as discontinued operations. Additionally, ASU 2014-08 requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations that will provide financial statement users with more information about the assets, liabilities, income, and expenses of discontinued operations. The amendments in ASU 2014-08 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014. However, ASU 2014-08 should not be applied to a component that is classified as held for sale before the effective date even if the component is disposed of after the effective date. Early adoption is permitted, but only for disposals (or classifications as held for sale) that have not been reported in financial statement previously issued. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, on its consolidated financial statements.

8

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”), which provides guidance for revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets and supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition,” and most industry-specific guidance. This ASU also supersedes some cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35, “Revenue Recognition-Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts.” The standard’s core principle is that a company should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under today’s guidance. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal year 2017 and, at that time the Company may adopt the new standard under the full retrospective method or the modified retrospective method. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the method and impact the adoption of ASU 2014-08 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

The Terry’s Tire Acquisition was completed pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) entered into on February 17, 2014 between ATDI and TTT Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation. Terry’s Tire and its subsidiaries are engaged in the business of purchasing, marketing, distributing and selling tires, wheels and related tire and wheel accessories on a wholesale basis to tire dealers, wholesale distributors, retail chains, automotive dealers and others, retreading tires and selling retread and other commercial tires through commercial outlets to end users and selling tires directly to consumers via the internet. Terry’s Tire operated 10 distribution centers spanning from Virginia to Maine and in Ohio. The acquisition of Terry’s Tire will enhance the Company’s market position in these areas and aligns very well with their distribution centers, especially the new distribution centers opened by the Company over the past two years in the Northeast and Ohio.

The Terry’s Tire acquisition closed for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $372.7 million (the “Terry’s Tire Purchase Price”), consisting of cash consideration of approximately $358.0 million, contingent consideration of $12.5 million and non-cash consideration for debt assumed of $2.2 million. The cash consideration paid for the Terry’s Tire Acquisition included estimated working capital adjustments and a portion of consideration contingent on certain events achieved prior to closing. During second quarter 2014, the Company finalized the post-closing working capital adjustments in accordance with the purchase agreement. This adjustment decreased the Terry’s Tire Purchase Price by $5.4 million to $372.7 million with a corresponding decrease to goodwill of $5.4 million. The Terry’s Tire Purchase Price was funded by a combination of borrowings under a new senior secured term loan facility, as more fully described in Note 9, and borrowings of approximately $72.5 million under Holdings’ existing U.S. ABL Facility. The Terry’s Tire Purchase Price is subject to certain post-closing adjustments, including but not limited to, working capital adjustments. Of the $358.0 million in cash consideration, $41.4 million is held in escrow pending the resolution of the post-closing adjustments and other escrow release conditions in accordance with the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement and escrow agreement.

On January 31, 2014, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated January 24, 2014 (the “Merger Agreement”), among ATD Merger Sub II LLC (“Merger Sub”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings, ATDI, Hercules Tire Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Hercules Holdings”), the equityholders of Hercules Holdings (each a “Seller” and, collectively the “Sellers”) and the Sellers’ Representative, Merger Sub merged with and into Hercules Holdings, with Hercules Holdings being the surviving entity (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, Hercules Holdings became an indirect 100% owned subsidiary of Holdings. Hercules Holdings owns all of the capital stock of The Hercules Tire & Rubber Company, a Connecticut corporation (“Hercules”). Hercules Holdings has no material assets or operations other than its ownership of Hercules. Hercules is engaged in the business of purchasing, marketing, distributing and selling after-market replacement tires for passenger cars, trucks, and certain off road vehicles to tire dealers, wholesale distributors, retail distributors and others in the United States, Canada and internationally. Hercules operated 15 distribution centers in the United States, 6 distribution centers in Canada and one warehouse in northern China. Hercules also markets the Hercules brand, which is one of the most sought-after proprietary tire brands in the industry. The acquisition of Hercules will strengthen the Company’s presence in major markets such as California, Texas and Florida in addition to increasing its presence in Canada. Additionally, Hercules’ strong logistics and sourcing capabilities, including a long-standing presence in China, will also allow the Company to capitalize on the growing import market, as well as, providing the ability to expand the international sales of the Hercules brand. Finally, this acquisition, will allow the Company to be a brand marketer of the Hercules brand which today has a 2% market share of the passenger and light truck market in North America and a 3% share of highway truck tires in North America.

The Merger closed for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $318.9 million (the “Hercules Closing Purchase Price”), consisting of net cash consideration of $310.0 million, contingent consideration of $3.5 million and non-cash consideration for debt assumed of $5.4 million. The Hercules Closing Purchase Price includes an estimate for initial working capital adjustments. During second quarter 2014, the Company finalized the post-closing working capital adjustments in accordance with the Merger

10

Agreement. This adjustment decreased the Hercules Closing Purchase Price by $0.4 million to $318.9 million with a corresponding decrease to goodwill of $0.4 million. The Merger Agreement provides for the payment of up to $6.5 million in additional consideration contingent upon the occurrence of certain post-closing events (to the extent payable, the “Hercules Additional Purchase Price” and, collectively with the Hercules Closing Purchase Price, the “Hercules Purchase Price”). The cash consideration paid for the Merger was funded by a combination of the issuance of additional Senior Subordinated Notes, as more fully described in Note 9, an equity contribution of $50.0 million from Holdings’ indirect parent, as more fully described in Note 14 and borrowings under Holdings’ credit agreement, as more fully described in Note 9. The Hercules Closing Purchase Price is subject to certain post-closing adjustments, including, but not limited to, working capital adjustments.

On January 17, 2014, TriCan entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Kipling Tire Co. LTD., a corporation governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario (“Kipling”), pursuant to which TriCan agreed to acquire the wholesale distribution business of Kipling. Kipling has operated as a retail-wholesale business since 1982. Kipling’s wholesale business distributes tires from its Etobicoke facilities to approximately 400 retail customers in Southern Ontario. Kipling’s retail operations were not acquired by TriCan and will continue to operate under its current ownership. This acquisition will further strengthen TriCan’s presence in the Southern Ontario region of Canada. The acquisition was completed on January 17, 2014 and was funded through the Company’s Canadian ABL Facility. The Company does not believe the acquisition of Kipling is a material transaction subject to the disclosures and supplemental pro forma information required by ASC 805 – Business Combinations. As a result, the information is not presented.

The acquisitions of Trail Tire, Extreme, Kirks Tire, RTD Edmonton, RTD Calgary, Terry’s Tire and Hercules (collectively the “2014 Acquisitions”) were recorded using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with current accounting guidance for business combinations and non-controlling interest. As of the date of these financial statements, the Company is in the process of finalizing intangible asset valuations as well as continuing to evaluate the initial purchase price allocation for each of the 2014 Acquisitions with the exception of Hercules. Accordingly, management has used its best estimates in the allocation of the purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated preliminary fair market value of such assets and liabilities at the date of each acquisition. As additional information is obtained about these assets and liabilities within the measurement period, the Company expects to refine its estimates of fair value to allocate the purchase price for the 2014 Acquisitions, with the exception of Hercules, more accurately. As of July 5, 2014, the purchase price allocation for Hercules is final. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price for each of the 2014 Acquisitions is as follows:

In thousands	Terry’s Tire		Hercules		Trail Tire		Extreme		Kirks Tire		RTD Edmonton		RTD Calgary		Total
Cash	$	7,431	$	12,187	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	19,618

The excess of the purchase price over the amounts allocated to identifiable assets and liabilities is included in goodwill. The premium in the purchase price paid for the 2014 Acquisitions primarily reflects growth opportunities from expanding the Company’s distribution footprint into Western Canada and through the anticipated realization of operational and cost synergies. In addition, growth opportunities associated with the Hercules® brand also contributed to the premium in the purchase price paid for the Hercules acquisition.

Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable were stated at their historical carrying values, which approximate their fair value, given the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities. Inventory was recorded at fair value, based on computations which considered many factors including the estimated selling price of the inventory, the cost to dispose the inventory as well as the replacement cost of the inventory, where applicable.

The Company recorded intangible assets based on their estimated fair value which consisted of the following:

In thousands	Terry’s Tire		Hercules		Trail Tire		Extreme		Kirks Tire		RTD Edmonton		RTD Calgary		Total
Customer list (1)	$	185,776	$	147,216	$	14,703	$	4,369	$	52,818	$	23,286	$	13,556	$	441,724

(1) Estimated useful lives range from sixteen to eighteen years.

(2) Estimated useful life is fifteen years

(3) Estimated useful lives range from four to five years.

The Company utilized the excess earnings method, a derivation of the income approach, as well as the review of an independent third-party valuation report for certain acquisitions, to determine the fair value of the customer list intangible assets. The excess earnings method estimates the discounted net earnings attributable to the customer relationships that were acquired after considering items such as possible customer attrition. Based on the length and trend of projected cash flows, an estimated useful life of eighteen years was determined. The length of the projected cash flow period was determined by how quickly the customer relationships attrit based on the Company’s historical experience in renewing and extending similar customer relationships. As of the date of this report, the Company is in the process of obtaining third-party valuations for the fair value of the intangible assets acquired from Trail Tire, Extreme, Kirks Tire, RTD Edmonton and RTD Calgary. Accordingly, the preliminary allocation for these acquisitions reflects management’s best estimate of fair value using the excess earnings method.

As part of the acquisition of Terry’s Tire, the Company acquired Terry’s Tire’s commercial and retread businesses. As the Company’s core business does not include commercial and retread operations, the Company decided that it would divest of these businesses. As it is management’s intention to divest the commercial and retread businesses during fiscal 2014 and as all held for sale criteria has been met, the related assets, including the allocation of purchase price, and the related liabilities of the commercial and retread businesses are classified as held for sale within the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. As part of the preliminary purchase price allocation, the estimated fair value of the assets held for sale was $5.8 million, including $4.5 million in current assets, net property and equipment of $0.8 million and goodwill of $0.5 million. The estimated fair value of the liabilities held for sale was $0.3 million of which the entire amount related to current liabilities. As additional information is obtained about these assets and liabilities within the measurement period, the Company expects to refine its estimate of the fair values related to these assets and liabilities.

The 2014 Acquisitions contributed net sales of approximately $265.5 million to the Company for the six months ended July 5, 2014. Net loss contributed by the 2014 Acquisitions during the six months ended July 5, 2014 was approximately $25.9 million which included non-cash amortization of the inventory step-up of $31.6 million and non-cash amortization expense on acquired intangible assets of $11.5 million.

On December 13, 2013, TriCan entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Wholesale Tire Distributors Inc., a corporation formed under the laws of the Province of Ontario (“WTD”), Allan Bishop, an individual resident in the Province of Ontario (“Allan”) and The Bishop Company Inc., a corporation formed under the laws of the Province of Ontario (“BishopCo”) (Allan and BishopCo each, a “Seller” and collectively, the “Sellers”), pursuant to which TriCan agreed to acquire from the Sellers all of the issued and outstanding shares of WTD. WTD operated two distribution centers serving over 2,300 customers. The acquisition of WTD strengthened the Company’s market presence in the Southern Ontario region of Canada. The acquisition was completed on December 13, 2013 and was funded through cash on hand. The Company does not believe the acquisition of WTD is a material transaction, individually or when aggregated with the other non-material acquisitions discussed herein, subject to the disclosures and supplemental pro forma information required by ASC 805 – Business Combinations. As a result, the information is not presented.

The acquisition of WTD was recorded using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the accounting guidance for business combinations and non-controlling interest. The purchase price has been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair market value of such assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition. A majority of the net

12

assets acquired relate to a customer list intangible asset, which had an acquisition date fair value of $4.4 million. The excess of the purchase price over the amounts allocated to identifiable assets and liabilities is included in goodwill, and amounted to $1.2 million. The premium in the purchase price paid for the acquisition of WTD reflects the anticipated realization of operational and cost synergies.

On August 30, 2013, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Tire Distributors, Inc. (“TDI”) to acquire 100% of the outstanding capital stock of TDI. TDI operated one distribution center serving over 1,700 customers across Maryland and northeastern Virginia. The acquisition was completed on August 30, 2013 and was funded through the Company’s ABL Facility. The Company does not believe the acquisition of TDI is a material transaction, individually or when aggregated with the other non-material acquisitions discussed herein, subject to the disclosures and supplemental pro forma information required by ASC 805 – Business Combinations. As a result, the information is not presented.

The acquisition of TDI was recorded using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the accounting guidance for business combinations and non-controlling interest.

The excess of the purchase price over the amounts allocated to identifiable assets and liabilities is included in goodwill, and amounted to $2.4 million. The premium in the purchase price paid for the acquisition of TDI reflects the anticipated realization of operational and cost synergies.

On March 22, 2013, TriCan and ATDI entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Regional Tire Holdings Inc., a corporation formed under the laws of the Province of Ontario (“Holdco”), Regional Tire Distributors Inc. (“RTD”), a corporation formed under the laws of the Province of Ontario and a 100% owned subsidiary of Holdco, and the shareholders of Holdco, pursuant to which TriCan agreed to acquire from the shareholders of Holdco all of the issued and outstanding shares of Holdco for a purchase price of $62.5 million. Holdco has no significant assets or operations other than its ownership of RTD. The operations of RTD constitute the operations of Holdco. RTD is a wholesale distributor of tires, tire parts, tire accessories and related equipment in the Ontario and Atlantic provinces of Canada. The acquisition of RTD significantly expanded the Company’s presence in the Ontario and Atlantic Provinces of Canada and complemented the Company’s current operations in Canada.

The acquisition of RTD was completed on April 30, 2013 for aggregate cash consideration of approximately $64.9 million (the “Adjusted Purchase Price”) which includes initial working capital adjustments. The acquisition of RTD was funded by borrowings under the Company’s ABL Facility and FILO Facility, as more fully described in Note 9. The Adjusted Purchase Price was subject to certain post-closing adjustments, including, but not limited to, the finalization of working capital adjustments. Of the $64.9 million Adjusted Purchase Price, $6.3 million is held in escrow pending the resolution of the post-closing adjustments and other escrow release conditions in accordance with the terms of the purchase agreement and escrow agreement. During third quarter 2013, the Company and the shareholders of Holdco agreed on the post-closing working capital adjustments in accordance with the purchase agreement. This adjustment increased the Adjusted Purchase Price by $1.0 million to $65.9 million with a corresponding increase to goodwill of $1.0 million.

The acquisition of RTD was recorded using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with current accounting guidance for business combinations and non-controlling interest. As a result, the Adjusted Purchase Price has been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair market value of such assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition. The allocation of the Adjusted Purchase Price is as follows:

The excess of the purchase price over the amounts allocated to identifiable assets and liabilities is included in goodwill, and amounted to $20.4 million. The premium in the purchase price paid for the acquisition of RTD primarily relates to growth opportunities from expanding the Company’s distribution footprint into Eastern Canada and through operating synergies available via the consolidation of certain distribution centers in Eastern Canada.

Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable were stated at their historical carrying values, which approximate their fair value, given the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities. Inventory was recorded at fair value, based on computation which considered many factors including the estimated selling price of the inventory, the cost to dispose the inventory as well as the replacement cost of the inventory, where applicable.

The following unaudited pro forma supplementary data gives effect to the 2014 Acquisitions as if these transactions had occurred on December 30, 2012 (the first day of the Company’s 2013 fiscal year) and gives effect to the acquisition of RTD as if this transaction had occurred on January 1, 2012 (the first day of the Company’s 2012 fiscal year). The pro forma supplementary data is provided for informational purposes only and should not be construed to be indicative of the Company’s results of operations had the 2014 Acquisitions and the RTD acquisition been consummated on the date assumed or of the Company’s results of operations for any future date.

The pro forma supplementary data for the quarters ended July 5, 2014 and June 29, 2013 includes $3.9 million and $11.1 million, respectively, as an increase to historical amortization expense as a result of acquired intangible assets while the six months ended July 5, 2014 and June 29, 2013 includes $13.1 million and $22.6 million, respectively. In addition, the pro forma supplementary data for the quarters ended July 5, 2014 and June 29, 2013 includes $1.3 million and $9.6 million, respectively, as an increase to historical interest expense as a result of the issuance of the additional Senior Subordinated Notes and the new senior secured term loan facility, as more fully described in Note 9, while the six months ended July 5, 2014 and June 29, 2013 includes $6.9 million and $19.7 million, respectively. For the quarter and six months ended July 5, 2014, the Company has included a reduction in non-recurring historical transaction expenses of $10.7 million and $42.9 million, respectively. These transaction expenses were incurred prior to the acquisition of Hercules and Terry’s Tire and they are directly related to the acquisitions and are non-recurring. Additionally, for the quarter and six months ended July 5, 2014, the Company has included a reduction in historical cost of goods sold of $12.5 million and $31.5 million, respectively. The reduction in cost of goods sold relates to the elimination of the non-cash amortization of the inventory step-up recorded in connection with the Hercules and Terry’s Tire acquisitions as this amortization is directly related to the acquisitions and non-recurring.

5. Inventories:

Inventories consist primarily of automotive tires, custom wheels and accessories and tire supplies and tools. Reported amounts are valued at the lower of cost, determined on the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method, or fair market value. The Company performs periodic assessments to determine the existence of obsolete, slow-moving and non-saleable inventories and records necessary provisions to reduce such inventories to net realizable value. A majority of the Company’s tire vendors allow for the return of tire products, subject to certain limitations, specified in supply arrangements with the vendors. In addition, the Company’s inventory is collateral under the ABL Facility and the FILO Facility. See Note 9 for further information.

As a result of the TriCan acquisition in November 2012, the RTD, TDI and WTD acquisitions in fiscal 2013 and the 2014 Acquisitions, the carrying value of the acquired inventory was increased by $6.3 million, $2.7 million, $0.2 million, $0.5 million, and $34.4 million, respectively, to adjust to estimated fair value in accordance with the accounting guidance for business combinations. The step-up in inventory value for each acquisition was amortized into cost of goods sold over the period of the Company’s normal inventory turns, which approximates two months. Amortization of the inventory step-up included in cost of goods sold in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) for the quarter and six months ended July 5, 2014 was $12.5 million and $31.6 million, respectively, while amortization for the quarter and six months ended June 29, 2013 was $2.7 million and $4.9 million, respectively.

6. Assets Held for Sale:

In accordance with current accounting standards, the Company classifies assets as held for sale in the period in which all held for sale criteria is met. Assets held for sale are reported at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell and are no longer depreciated. During third quarter 2013, the Company classified a facility located in Georgia as held for sale. The facility was previously used as a distribution center within the Company’s operations until its activities were relocated to an expanded facility. During the quarter ended July 5, 2014, the Company received $0.4 million in cash for the sale of this facility.

As part of the Terry’s Tire acquisition, the Company acquired Terry’s Tire’s commercial and retread businesses. See Note 4 for additional information regarding this acquisition. As it is management’s intention to divest the commercial and retread businesses during fiscal 2014 and as all held for sale criteria has been met, the related assets and liabilities of the commercial and retread businesses are classified as held for sale within the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of July 5, 2014, the carrying value of the assets held for sale for these businesses was $5.5 million, including $4.2 million in current assets, net property and equipment of $0.8 million and goodwill of $0.5 million.

7. Goodwill:

The Company records as goodwill the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Once the final valuation has been performed for each acquisition, adjustments may be recorded. Goodwill is tested and reviewed annually for impairment during the fourth quarter or whenever there is a significant change in events or circumstances that indicate that the fair value of the asset may be less than the carrying amount of the asset.

15

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill are as follows:

In thousands
Balance, December 28, 2013	$	504,333
Purchase accounting adjustments		128
Acquisitions		202,716
Currency translation		(1,043	)
Balance, July 5, 2014	$	706,134

At July 5, 2014, the Company has recorded goodwill of $706.1 million, of which approximately $125.7 million of net goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes in future periods. The balance primarily relates to the TPG Merger on May 28, 2010, in which $418.6 million was recorded as goodwill. The Company does not have any accumulated goodwill impairment losses.

On June 27, 2014, TriCan completed its acquisition of the wholesale distribution businesses of Trail Tire, Extreme, Kirks Tire, RTD Edmonton and RTD Calgary. The purchase price has been preliminarily allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair market value of such assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition. As a result, the Company recorded $0.9 million, $0.7 million, $9.0 million, $6.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively, as goodwill. See Note 4 for additional information.

On March 28, 2014, ATDI completed its acquisition of Terry’s Tire pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement entered into on February 17, 2014. The purchase price has been preliminarily allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair market value of such assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition. As a result, the Company recorded $111.5 million as goodwill. See Note 4 for additional information.

On January 31, 2014, the Company completed its acquisition of Hercules pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated January 24, 2014. The purchase price has been preliminarily allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair market value of such assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition. During second quarter 2014, the Company finalized the post-closing working capital adjustments in accordance with the Merger Agreement. This adjustment decreased goodwill by $0.4 million to $73.7 million at July 5, 2014. See Note 4 for additional information.

On December 13, 2013, TriCan entered into a share Purchase Agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of WTD. The acquisition was funded through cash on hand. The purchase price has been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair market value of such assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition. During first quarter 2014, the Company finalized the post-closing working capital adjustments in accordance with the purchase agreement. This increased goodwill by $0.1 million to a total of $1.2 million at July 5, 2014. See Note 4 for additional information.

8. Intangible Assets:

Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested and reviewed annually for impairment during the fourth quarter or whenever there is a significant change in events or circumstances that indicate that the fair value of the asset may be less than the carrying amount of the asset. All other intangible assets with finite lives are being amortized on a straight-line or accelerated basis over periods ranging from one to nineteen years.

The fair value of the Senior Subordinated Notes was $431.5 million at July 5, 2014 and $212.0 million at December 28, 2013 and was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis with significant inputs that are not observable (Level 3) as there are no

17

quoted prices in active markets for these notes. The fair value of the Term Loan was $718.1 million at July 5, 2014 and was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis with significant inputs that are not observable (Level 3). The discount rate used in the fair value analysis for the Term Loan was based on borrowing rates available to the Company for debt with the same remaining maturity.

ABL Facility

On January 31, 2014, in connection with the Hercules acquisition, the Company entered into the Second Amendment to Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Credit Agreement”), which provides for (i) U.S. revolving credit commitments of $850.0 million (of which up to $50.0 million can be utilized in the form of commercial and standby letters of credit), subject to U.S. borrowing base availability (the “U.S. ABL Facility”) and (ii) Canadian revolving credit commitments of $125.0 million (of which up to $10.0 million can be utilized in the form of commercial and standby letters of credit), subject to Canadian borrowing base availability (the “Canadian ABL Facility” and, collectively with the U.S. ABL Facility, the “ABL Facility”). In addition, the Credit Agreement provides (i) the U.S. borrowers under the agreement with a first-in last-out facility (the “U.S. FILO Facility”) in the aggregate principal amount of up to $80.0 million, subject to a borrowing base specific thereto and (ii) the Canadian borrowers under the agreement with a first-in last-out facility (the “Canadian FILO Facility” and collectively with the U.S. FILO Facility, the “FILO Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $15.0 million, subject to a borrowing base specific thereto. The U.S. ABL Facility is available to ATDI, Am-Pac Tire Dist. Inc., Hercules and any other U.S. subsidiary that the Company designates in the future in accordance with the terms of the agreement. The Canadian ABL Facility is available to TriCan and any other Canadian subsidiaries that the Company designates in the future in accordance with the terms of the agreement. Provided that no default or event of default then exists or would arise therefrom, the Company has the option to request that the ABL Facility be increased by an amount not to exceed $175.0 million (up to $25.0 million of which may be allocated to the Canadian ABL Facility), subject to certain rights of the administrative agent, swingline lender and issuing banks providing commitments for such increase. The maturity date for the ABL Facility is November 16, 2017. The maturity date for the FILO Facility is January 31, 2017. During the six months ended July 5, 2014, the Company paid $0.7 million in debt issuance costs related to the ABL Facility and FILO Facility.

As of July 5, 2014, the Company had $641.6 million outstanding under the U.S. ABL Facility. In addition, the Company had certain letters of credit outstanding in the aggregate amount of $10.0 million, leaving $198.4 million available for additional borrowings under the U.S. ABL Facility. The outstanding balance of the Canadian ABL Facility at July 5, 2014 was $53.1 million, leaving $70.8 million available for additional borrowings. As of July 5, 2014, the outstanding balance of the U.S. FILO Facility was $80.0 million and the outstanding balance of the Canadian FILO Facility was $10.3 million.

Borrowings under the U.S. ABL Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, either (a) 200 basis points over an adjusted LIBOR rate or (b) 100 basis points over an alternative base rate (the higher of the prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points and one month-adjusted LIBOR rate plus 100 basis points). The applicable margins under the U.S. ABL Facility are subject to step ups and step downs based on average excess borrowing availability under the ABL Facility.

Borrowings under the Canadian ABL Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, either (a) 100 basis points over an alternative Canadian base rate (the higher of the base rate as published by Bank of America, N.A., acting through its Canada branch, the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points and one month-LIBOR plus 100 basis points), (b) 100 basis points over a Canadian prime rate determined in accordance with the Canadian ABL Facility, (c) 200 basis points over a rate determined by reference to the average rate applicable to Canadian Dollar bankers’ acceptances having an identical or comparable term as the proposed loan amount or (d) 200 basis points over an adjusted LIBOR rate. The applicable margins under the Canadian ABL Facility are subject to step ups and step downs based on average excess borrowing availability under the ABL Facility.

Borrowings under the U.S. FILO Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, either (a) 350 basis points over an adjusted LIBOR rate or (b) 250 basis points over an alternative base rate (the higher of the prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points and one month-adjusted LIBOR plus 100 basis points. The applicable margins under the U.S. FILO Facility are subject to step ups and step downs based on average excess borrowing availability under the ABL Facility.

Borrowings under the Canadian FILO Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, either (a) 250 basis points over an alternative Canadian base rate (the higher of the base rate as published by Bank of America, N.A., acting through its Canada branch, the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points and one month-LIBOR plus 100 basis points), (b) 250 basis points over a Canadian prime rate determined in accordance with the Canadian ABL Facility, (c) 350 basis points over a rate determined by reference to the average rate applicable to Canadian Dollar bankers’ acceptances having an identical or comparable term as the proposed loan amount or (d) 350 basis points over an adjusted LIBOR rate. The applicable margins under the Canadian FILO Facility are subject to step ups and step downs based on average excess borrowing availability under the ABL Facility.

18

The U.S. and Canadian borrowing base at any time equals the sum (subject to certain reserves and other adjustments) of:

• 85% of eligible accounts receivable of the U.S. or Canadian loan parties, as applicable; plus

• The lesser of (a) 70% of the lesser of cost or market value of eligible tire inventory of the U.S. or Canadian loan parties, as applicable and (b) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible tire inventory of the U.S. or Canadian loan parties, as applicable; plus

• The lesser of (a) 50% of the lower of cost or market value of eligible non-tire inventory of the U.S. or Canadian loan parties, as applicable and (b) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible non-tire inventory of the U.S. or Canadian loan parties, as applicable.

The U.S. FILO and the Canadian FILO borrowing base at any time equals the sum (subject to certain reserves and other adjustments) of:

• 5% of eligible accounts receivable of the U.S. or Canadian loan parties, as applicable; plus

• 10% of the net orderly liquidation value of the eligible tire and non-tire inventory of the U.S. or Canadian loan parties, as applicable.

All obligations under the U.S. ABL Facility and the U.S. FILO Facility are unconditionally guaranteed by Holdings and substantially all of ATDI’s existing and future, direct and indirect, wholly-owned domestic material restricted subsidiaries, other than Tire Pros Francorp. The Canadian ABL Facility and the Canadian FILO Facility are unconditionally guaranteed by the U.S. loan parties, TriCan and any future, direct and indirect, wholly-owned, material restricted Canadian subsidiaries. Obligations under the U.S. ABL Facility and the U.S. FILO Facility are secured by a first-priority lien on inventory, accounts receivable and related assets and a second-priority lien on substantially all other assets of the U.S. loan parties, subject to certain exceptions. Obligations under the Canadian ABL Facility and the Canadian FILO Facility are secured by a first-priority lien on inventory, accounts receivable and related assets of the U.S. loan parties and the Canadian loan parties and a second-priority lien on substantially all other assets of the U.S. loan parties and the Canadian loan parties, subject to certain exceptions.

The ABL Facility and FILO Facility contain customary covenants, including covenants that restricts the Company’s ability to incur additional debt, grant liens, enter into guarantees, enter into certain mergers, make certain loans and investments, dispose of assets, prepay certain debt, declare dividends, modify certain material agreements, enter into transactions with affiliates or change the Company’s fiscal year. The terms of the ABL Facility and FILO Facility generally restrict distributions or the payment of dividends in respect of the Company’s stock subject to certain exceptions requiring compliance with certain availability levels and fixed charge coverage ratios under the ABL Facility and other customary negotiated exceptions. As of July 5, 2014, the Company was in compliance with these covenants. If the amount available for additional borrowings under the ABL Facility is less than the greater of (a) 10.0% of the lesser of (x) the aggregate commitments under the ABL Facility and (y) the aggregate borrowing base and (b) $25.0 million, then the Company would be subject to an additional covenant requiring them to meet a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0. As of July 5, 2014, the Company’s additional borrowing availability under the ABL Facility was above the required amount and the Company was therefore not subject to the additional covenants.

Senior Secured Term Loan

In connection with the acquisition of Terry’s Tire, on March 28, 2014, ATDI entered into a credit agreement that provided for a senior secured term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $300.0 million (the “Initial Term Loan”). The Initial Term Loan was issued at a discount of 0.25% which, combined with certain debt issuance costs paid at closing, resulted in net proceeds of approximately $290.9 million. The Initial Term Loan will accrete based on an effective interest rate of 6% to an aggregate accreted value of $300.0 million, the full principal amount at maturity. The net proceeds from the Initial Term Loan were used to finance a portion of the Terry’s Tire Purchase Price.

On June 16, 2014, ATDI amended the Initial Term Loan (the “Incremental Amendment”) to borrow an additional $340.0 million (the “Incremental Term Loan”) on the same terms as the Initial Term Loan. Pursuant to the Incremental Amendment, until August 15, 2014 ATDI also has the right to borrow up to an additional $80.0 million (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan” and collectively with the Initial Term Loan and the Incremental Term Loan, the “Term Loan”) on the same terms as the Initial Term Loan. The proceeds from the Incremental Term Loan, net of related debt issuance costs paid at closing, amounted to approximately $335.7 million, and were used, in part, to redeem all $250.0 million aggregate principal amounts of notes outstanding under ATDI’s Senior Secured Notes and related fees and expenses as more fully described below, and the remaining proceeds will be used for working capital requirements and other general corporate purposes, including the financing of potential future acquisitions. The Company received the proceeds from the Delayed Draw Term Loan at the end of the second quarter of 2014. The maturity date for the Term Loan is June 1, 2018. During the six months ended July 5, 2014, the Company paid $13.8 million in debt issuance cost related to the Term Loan.

Borrowings under the Term Loan bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, either (a) a Eurodollar rate determined by reference to LIBOR, plus an applicable margin of 475 basis points or (b) 375 basis points over an alternative

19

base rate determined by reference of the higher of the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points, the prime rate and 100 basis points over the one month Eurodollar rate. The Eurodollar rate is subject to an interest rate floor of 100 basis points. The applicable margins under the Term Loan are subject to a step down based on a consolidated net leverage ratio, as defined in the agreement.

All obligations under the Term Loan are unconditionally guaranteed by Holdings and, subject to certain customary exceptions, all of ATDI’s existing and future, direct and indirect, wholly-owned domestic material subsidiaries. Obligations under the Term Loan are secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all property, assets and capital stock of ATDI except accounts receivable, inventory and related intangible assets and a second-priority lien on all accounts receivable and related intangible assets.

The Term Loan contains customary covenants, including covenants that restrict the Company’s ability to incur additional debt, create liens, enter into guarantees, enter into certain mergers, make certain loans and investments, dispose of assets, prepay certain debt, declare dividends, modify certain material agreements, enter into transactions with affiliates, change the nature of the Company’s business or change the Company’s fiscal year. The terms of the Term Loan generally restrict distributions or the payment of dividends in respect to the Company’s stock subject to certain exceptions such as the amount of 50% of net income (reduced by 100% of net losses) for the period beginning January 1, 2014 and other customary negotiated exceptions. As of July 5, 2014, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

The Company is required to make principal payments equal to 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Term Loan on the last business day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the last business day of June 2014. In addition, subject to certain exceptions, the Company is required to repay the Term Loan in certain circumstances, including with 50% (which percentage will be reduced to 25% and 0%, as applicable, subject to attaining certain senior secured net leverage ratios) of its annual excess cash flow, as defined in the Term Loan agreement. The Term Loan also contains repayments provision related to non-ordinary course asset or property sales when certain conditions are met, and related to the incurrence of debt that is not permitted under the agreement.

Senior Secured Notes

On May 16, 2014, ATDI delivered a Notice of Full Redemption, providing for the redemption of all $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 9.75% Senior Secured Notes (“Senior Secured Notes”) on June 16, 2014 (the “Redemption Date”) at a price equal to 104.875% of the principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding the Redemption Date (the “Redemption Price”). On June 16, 2014, using proceeds from the Incremental Term Loan, the Senior Secured Notes were redeemed for a Redemption Price of $263.2 million.

Senior Subordinated Notes

On May 28, 2010, ATDI issued $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 11.50% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018 (the “Initial Subordinated Notes”). Interest on the Initial Subordinated Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on December 1, 2010.

In connection with the consummation of the Hercules acquisition, on January 31, 2014, ATDI completed the sale to certain purchasers of an additional $225.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 11.50% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018 (the “Additional Subordinated Notes” and, collectively with the Initial Subordinated Notes, the “Senior Subordinated Notes”). The Additional Subordinated Notes were issued at a discount from their principal amount at maturity and generated net proceeds of approximately $221.1 million. The Additional Subordinated Notes will accrete based on an effective interest rate of 12% to an aggregate accreted value of $225.0 million, the full principal amount at maturity. During the six months ended July 5, 2014, the Company paid $1.2 million in debt issuance cost related to the Additional Subordinated Notes.

The Additional Subordinated Notes have identical terms to the Initial Subordinated Notes except the Additional Subordinated Notes will accrue interest from January 31, 2014. The Additional Subordinated Notes and the Initial Subordinated Notes are treated as a single class of securities for all purposes under the indenture. The Senior Subordinated Notes will mature on June 1, 2018.

The Senior Subordinated Notes may be redeemed at any time at the option of ATDI, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days notice at a redemption price of 102.0% of the principal amount if the redemption date occurs between June 1, 2014 and May 31, 2015 and 100.0% of the principal amount if the redemption date occurs between June 1, 2015 and May 31, 2016.

The Senior Subordinated Notes are unconditionally guaranteed by Holdings and substantially all of ATDI’s existing and future, direct and indirect, wholly-owned domestic material restricted subsidiaries, other than Tire Pros Francorp, subject to certain exceptions.

The indenture governing the Senior Subordinated Notes contains covenants that, among other things, limits ATDI’s ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to incur additional debt or issue preferred stock; pay certain dividends or make certain

20

distributions in respect of ATDI’s or repurchase or redeem ATDI’s capital stock; make certain loans, investments or other restricted payments; place restrictions on the ability of ATDI’s subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments to ATDI; engage in transactions with stockholders or affiliates; transfer or sell certain assets; guarantee indebtedness or incur other contingent obligations; incur certain liens without securing the Senior Subordinated Notes; consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of ATDI’s assets; enter into certain transactions with ATDI’s affiliates; and designate ATDI’s subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries. The terms of the Senior Subordinated Notes generally restrict distributions or the payment of dividends in respect of the Company’s stock subject to certain exceptions such as the amount of 50% of net income (reduced by 100% of net losses) for the period beginning April 4, 2010 and other customary negotiated exceptions. As of July 5, 2014, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

10. Derivative Instruments:

In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to the risk associated with exposure to fluctuations in interest rates on our variable rate debt. These fluctuations can increase the cost of financing, investing and operating the business. The Company has used derivative financial instruments to help manage this risk and reduce the impacts of these exposures and not for trading or other speculative purposes. All derivatives are recognized on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at their fair value as either assets or liabilities. Changes in the fair value of contracts that qualify for hedge accounting treatment are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of taxes, and are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income (loss) at the time earnings are affected by the hedged transaction. For other derivatives, changes in the fair value of the contract are recognized immediately in net income (loss) in the statement of comprehensive income (loss).

On September 4, 2013, the Company entered into a spot interest rate swap and two forward-starting interest rate swaps (collectively the “3Q 2013 Swaps”) each of which are used to hedge a portion of the Company’s exposure to changes in its variable interest rate debt. The spot interest rate swap in place covers a notional amount of $100.0 million at a fixed interest rate of 1.145% and expires in September 2016. The forward-starting interest rate swaps in place cover an aggregate notional amount of $100.0 million, of which $50.0 million becomes effective in September 2014 at a fixed interest rate of 1.464% and will expire in September 2016 and $50.0 million becomes effective in September 2015 at a fixed interest rate of 1.942% and will expire in September 2016. The counterparty to each swap is a major financial institution. The 3Q 2013 Swaps do not meet the criteria to qualify for hedge accounting treatment; therefore, changes in the fair value of each contract is recognized in net income (loss) in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss).

On August 1, 2012, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements (“3Q 2012 Swaps”) used to hedge a portion of the Company’s exposure to changes in its variable interest rate debt. The swaps in place cover an aggregate notional amount of $100.0 million, with each $50.0 million contract having a fixed rate of 0.655% and expiring in June 2016. The counterparty to each swap is a major financial institution. The 3Q 2012 Swaps do not meet the criteria to qualify for hedge accounting treatment; therefore, changes in the fair value of each contract is recognized in net income (loss) in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss).

On September 23, 2011, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements (“3Q 2011 Swaps”) used to hedge a portion of the Company’s exposure to changes in its variable interest rate debt. The swaps in place cover an aggregate notional amount of $100.0 million, of which $50.0 million is at a fixed rate of 0.74% and will expire in September 2014 and $50.0 million is at a fixed rate of 1.0% and will expire in September 2015. The counterparty to each swap is a major financial institution. The 3Q 2011 Swaps do not meet the criteria to qualify for hedge accounting treatment; therefore, changes in the fair value of each contract is recognized in net income (loss) in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss).

On February 24, 2011, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements (“1Q 2011 Swaps”) used to hedge a portion of the Company’s exposure to changes in its variable interest rate debt. The swaps in place covered an aggregate notional amount of $75.0 million, of which $25.0 million was at a fixed interest rate of 0.585% and expired in February 2012. The remaining swap covered an aggregate notional amount of $50.0 million at a fixed interest rate of 1.105% and expired in February 2013. The counterparty to each swap was a major financial institution. Neither swap met the criteria to qualify for hedge accounting treatment; therefore, changes in the fair value of each contract were recognized in net income (loss) in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss).

11. Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

The accounting standard for fair value measurements establishes a framework for measuring fair value that is based on the inputs market participants use to determine the fair value of an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy to prioritize those inputs. The fair value hierarchy is comprised of three levels that are described below:

• Level 1 Inputs - Inputs based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

• Level 2 Inputs - Inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

• Level 3 Inputs - Unobservable inputs based on little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs are obtained from independent sources and can be validated by a third party, whereas unobservable inputs reflect assumptions regarding what a third party would use in pricing an asset or liability based on the best information available under the circumstances. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

22

The following table presents the fair value and hierarchy levels for the Company’s assets and liabilities, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of July 5, 2014:

	Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company determines fair value of its financial assets and liabilities using the following methodologies:

• Benefit trust assets – These assets include money market and mutual funds that are the underlying for deferred compensation plan assets, held in a rabbi trust. The fair value of the assets is based on observable market prices quoted in readily accessible and observable markets.

• Contingent consideration - As part of the preliminary purchase price allocation of Terry’s Tire and Hercules, the Company recorded $12.5 million and $3.5 million, respectively, in contingent consideration. The fair value was estimated using a discounted cash flow technique with significant inputs that are not observable, including discount rates and probability-weighted cash flows and represents management’s best estimate of the amounts to be paid. The contingent consideration includes $12.3 million related to the retention of certain key members of management as employees of the Company and $3.7 million related to securing the rights to continue to distribute certain tire brands previously distributed by Terry’s Tire and Hercules. The Company believes the probable outcome could range from approximately $8.0 million to $16.0 million. The recorded contingent consideration is included in Accrued Expenses in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of July 5, 2014.

• Derivative instruments - These instruments consist of interest rate swaps. The fair value is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments from a financial institution that is counterparty to the transaction.

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The methodologies used by the Company to determine the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities at July 5, 2014 are the same as those used at December 28, 2013. As a result, there have been no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 categories.

12. Stock-Based Compensation:

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards in accordance with ASC 718 - Compensation, which requires a fair-value based method for measuring the value of stock-based compensation. Fair value is measured once at the date of grant and is not adjusted for subsequent changes. The Company’s stock-based compensation plans include programs for stock options and restricted stock awards.

Stock Options

In August 2010, the Company’s indirect parent company adopted a Management Equity Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”), pursuant to which the indirect parent company will grant options to selected employees and directors of the Company. The 2010 Plan, which includes both time-based and performance-based awards, was amended on April 28, 2014 by the board of directors of the Company’s indirect parent, ATD Corporation, to increase the maximum number of shares of common stock for which stock options may be granted under the 2010 Plan from 52.1 million to 54.4 million. In addition to the increase in the maximum number of shares, on April 28, 2014, the board of directors of ATD Corporation approved the issuance of stock options to certain members of management. The approved options are for the purchase of up to 4.5 million shares of common stock, have an exercise price of $1.50 per share and vest over a two-year vesting period. As of July 5, 2014, the Company has 0.3 million shares available for future incentive awards.

23

Changes in options outstanding under the 2010 Plan are as follows:

	Number of Shares		Weighted Average Exercise Price
Outstanding - December 28, 2013		49,516,503	$	1.02
Granted		4,528,833		1.50
Exercised		—		—
Cancelled		—		—
Outstanding - July 5, 2014		54,045,336	$	1.06
Exercisable - July 5, 2014		34,080,079	$	1.03

As of July 5, 2014, the aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and options exercisable was $23.7 million and $16.0 million, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value is based on the estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock of $1.50 as of July 5, 2014. The total fair value of shares vested during the six months ended July 5, 2014 was $6.3 million. No options were exercised during the six months ended July 5, 2014.

Options granted under the 2010 Plan expire no later than 10 years from the date of grant and vest based on the passage of time and/or the achievement of certain performance targets in equal installments over two, three or five years. The weighted-average remaining contractual term for options outstanding and exercisable at July 5, 2014 was 6.7 years and 6.5 years, respectively. The fair value of each of the Company’s time-based stock option awards is expensed on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the two, three or five-year vesting period of the options. However, for options granted with performance target requirements, compensation expense is recognized when it is probable that both the performance target will be achieved and the requisite service period is satisfied. At July 5, 2014, unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested options granted under the 2010 Plan totaled $8.7 million and the weighted-average period over which this expense will be recognized is 0.9 years.

The weighted average fair value of stock options granted during the six months ended July 5, 2014 and June 29, 2013 was $0.68 and $0.54 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following weighted average assumptions were used:

	Six Months Ended July 5, 2014			Six Months Ended June 29, 2013
Risk-free interest rate		1.73	%		1.38	%
Dividend yield		—			—
Expected life		5.8 years			6.0 years
Volatility		46.49	%		45.39	%

As the Company does not have sufficient historical volatility data for the Company’s own common stock, the stock price volatility utilized in the fair value calculation is based on the Company’s peer group in the industry in which it does business. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield-curve of a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bond on the date the award is granted with a maturity equal to the expected term of the award. Because the Company does not have relevant data available regarding the expected life of the award, the expected life is derived from the Simplified Method as allowed under SAB Topic 14.

Restricted Stock

In October 2010, the Company’s indirect parent company adopted the Non-Employee Director Restricted Stock Plan (the “2010 Restricted Stock Plan”), pursuant to which the indirect parent company will grant restricted stock to non-employee directors of the Company. These awards entitle the holder to receive one share of common stock for each restricted stock award granted. The 2010 Restricted Stock Plan provides that a maximum of 0.8 million shares of common stock of the indirect parent may be granted to non-employee directors of the Company, of which 0.2 million remain available at July 5, 2014 for future incentive awards. On April 28, 2014, the board of directors of ATD Corporation approved the issuance of restricted stock to the non-employee directors of the Company. The approved restricted stock awards were for the issuance of up to 0.1 million shares of common stock, have a grant date fair value of $1.50 per share and vest over a two-year vesting period.

24

The following table summarizes restricted stock activity under the 2010 Restricted Stock Plan for the six months ended July 5, 2014:

	Number of Shares			Weighted Average Exercise Price
Outstanding and unvested at December 28, 2013		87,719		$	1.14
Granted		133,333			1.50
Vested		(87,719	)		1.14
Cancelled		—			—
Outstanding and unvested at July 5, 2014		133,333		$	1.50

The fair value of each of the restricted stock awards is measured as the grant-date price of the common stock and is expensed on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the two-year vesting period. At July 5, 2014, unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested restricted stock awards granted under the 2010 Restricted Stock Plan totaled $0.2 million and the weighted-average period over which this expense will be recognized is 1.5 years.

Compensation Expense

Stock-based compensation expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses within the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss). The amount of compensation expense recognized during a period is based on the portion of the granted awards that are expected to vest. Ultimately, the total expense recognized over the vesting period will equal the fair value of the awards as of the grant date that actually vest. The following table summarizes the compensation expense recognized:

In thousands	Quarter Ended July 5, 2014		Quarter Ended June 29, 2013		Six Months Ended July 5, 2014		Six Months Ended June 29, 2013
Stock Options	$	1,394	$	753	$	1,962	$	1,379
Restricted Stock		25		31		25		73
Total	$	1,419	$	784	$	1,987	$	1,452

13. Income Taxes:

The tax provision for the six months ended July 5, 2014, was calculated on a national jurisdiction basis. The Company accounts for its provision for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740 – Income Taxes, which requires an estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full year to be applied to the respective interim period. However, the authoritative guidance allows the use of the discrete method when, in certain situations, the actual interim period effective tax rate provides a better estimate of the income tax provision. For the six months ended July 5, 2014, the discrete method was used to calculate the Company’s U.S. and Canadian interim tax expense as management determined that it provided a more reliable estimate of year-to-date income tax expense.

Based on the reported loss before income taxes for the six months ended July 5, 2014, the Company had an income tax benefit of $43.0 million, consisting of a $41.0 million U.S. tax benefit and a $2.0 million foreign tax benefit, and an effective tax benefit rate under the discrete method of 34.0%. For the six months ended June 29, 2013, the Company had an income tax benefit of $9.4 million, consisting of a $7.4 million U.S. tax benefit and a $2.0 million foreign tax benefit, and an effective tax benefit rate of 29.7%. The effective rate of the year-to-date tax benefit is lower than the statutory income tax rate primarily due to earnings in a foreign jurisdiction taxed at rates lower than the statutory U.S. federal rate and non-deductible transaction costs which lowered the effective tax rate by 0.5% and 0.5%, respectively.

At July 5, 2014, the Company has a net deferred tax liability of $302.4 million, of which, $18.9 million was recorded as a current deferred tax asset and $321.3 million was recorded as a non-current deferred tax liability. The net deferred tax liability primarily relates to the expected future tax liability associated with the non-deductible, identified, intangible assets that were recorded during the TPG Merger, assuming an effective tax rate of 39.6%. It is the Company’s intention to indefinitely reinvest all undistributed earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries.

25

At July 5, 2014, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $0.6 million, of which $0.6 million is included within other liabilities within the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate is $0.1 million as of July 5, 2014. In addition, $0.5 million is related to temporary timing differences. During the next 12 months, management does not believe that it is reasonably possible that any of the unrecognized tax benefits will be recognized.

While the Company believes that it has adequately provided for all tax positions, amounts asserted by taxing authorities could be greater than the Company’s accrued position. Accordingly, additional provisions of federal and state-related matters could be recorded in the future as revised estimates are made or the underlying matters are settled or otherwise resolved. The Company files federal income tax returns, as well as multiple state jurisdiction tax returns. The tax years 2010 – 2012 remain open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The tax years 2009 – 2012 remain open to examination by other major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject (primarily Canada and other state and local jurisdictions).

In September 2013, the Internal Revenue Service released final Tangible Property Regulations (the “Final Regulations”). The Final Regulations provide guidance on applying Section 263(a) of the Code to amounts paid to acquire, produce or improve tangible property, as well as rules for materials and supplies (Code Section 162). These regulations contain certain changes from the temporary and proposed tangible property regulations that were issued on December 27, 2011. The Final Regulations are generally effective for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2014. During 2012, the Company filed a change in tax methodology related to a section of the Final Regulations, specifically the methodology for repairs and maintenance deductions. The Company does not expect any additional adjustments related to the Final Regulations.

14. Stockholder’s Equity:

On January 31, 2014, TPG and certain co-investors contributed $50.0 million through the purchase of 33.3 million shares of common stock in Holdings indirect parent company, ATD Corporation. The proceeds from this equity contribution were used to fund a portion of the Hercules Closing Purchase Price. Accordingly, the Company recorded the basis in these shares in additional paid-in capital.

15. Commitments and Contingencies:

The Company is involved from time to time in various lawsuits, including class action lawsuits as well as various audits and reviews regarding its federal, state and local tax filings, arising out of the ordinary conduct of its business. Management does not expect that any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business or financial condition. As to tax filings, the Company believes that the various tax filings have been made in a timely fashion and in accordance with applicable federal, state and local tax code requirements. Additionally, the Company believes that it has adequately provided for any reasonably foreseeable resolution of any tax disputes, but will adjust its reserves if events so dictate in accordance with FASB authoritative guidance. To the extent that the ultimate results differ from the original or adjusted estimates of the Company, the effect will be recorded in accordance with the accounting standards for income taxes.

Guaranteed Lease Obligations

The Company remains liable as a guarantor on certain leases related to the Winston Tire Company, which was sold in 2001. As of July 5, 2014, the Company’s total obligations are $1.6 million extending over five years. However, the Company has secured assignments or sublease agreements for the vast majority of these commitments with contractual assigned or subleased rentals of $1.4 million. A provision has been made for the net present value of the estimated shortfall.

16. Discontinued Operations:

As part of the acquisition of Terry’s Tire, the Company acquired Terry’s Tire’s commercial and retread businesses. As the Company’s core business does not include commercial and retread operations, the Company decided that it would divest of these businesses. As it is management’s intention to divest the commercial and retread businesses during fiscal 2014 and as all held for sale criteria has been met, the related assets and liabilities of the commercial and retread businesses are classified as held for sale within the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of July 5, 2014, the amount classified as assets held for sale was $5.5 million, consisting of $4.2 million in current assets, net property and equipment of $0.8 million and goodwill of $0.5 million. The amount classified as liabilities held for sale was $0.4 million as of July 5, 2014 of which the entire amount related to current liabilities.

26

The Company has reflected the results of Terry’s Tire’s commercial and retread businesses as discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss) for the quarter and six months ended July 5, 2014. The components of income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax for the quarter and six months ended July 5, 2014 were as follows:

In thousands	Quarter Ended July 5, 2014			Six Months Ended July 5, 2014
Net sales	$	5,418		$	5,418
Income (loss) from operations before income taxes	$	(74	)	$	(74	)
Income tax provision (benefit)		(26	)		(26	)
Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax	$	(48	)	$	(48	)

17. Subsequent Event:

On July 31, 2014, the Company completed a transaction to sell the commercial and retread businesses acquired as part of the Terry’s Tire acquisition for a purchase price of approximately $3.9 million.

18. Subsidiary Guarantor Financial Information:

ATDI is the issuer of $425.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Senior Subordinated Notes. The Senior Subordinated Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by Holdings, Am-Pac, Tire Wholesalers, Inc. (“Tire Wholesalers”), Terry’s Tire and by the U.S. operations of Hercules. ATDI is a direct 100% owned subsidiary of Holdings and Am-Pac, Tire Wholesales, Terry’s Tire and Hercules are indirect 100% owned subsidiaries of Holdings. None of the Company’s other subsidiaries guarantees the Senior Subordinated Notes. The guarantees can be released in certain customary circumstances.

In accordance with Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X, the following presents condensed consolidating financial information for:

• Holdings, under the column heading “Parent Company”;

• ATDI, under the column heading “Subsidiary Issuer”;

• Am-Pac, Tire Wholesalers, Terry’s Tire and Hercules’ U.S. subsidiary, on a combined basis, under the column heading “Guarantor Subsidiaries”; and

• The Company’s other subsidiaries, on a combined basis, under the column heading “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”;

• Consolidating entries and eliminations, under the column heading “Eliminations”; and

• Holdings, ATDI and their subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, under the column heading “Consolidated.”

At the beginning of fiscal 2014, the Company merged a subsidiary that previously was a non-guarantor of the Senior Subordinated Notes, Tire Distributors, Inc., into ATDI. As a result of this merger, the consolidating balance sheet as of December 28, 2013 has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the post-merger legal entity structure. Terry’s Tire and Hercules’ U.S. subsidiary became guarantors of the Senior Subordinated Notes in the first quarter of 2014.

The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and actual outcomes and results may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. See “Cautionary Statements on Forward-Looking Information.”

Company Overview

We are the largest distributor of replacement tires in North America based on dollar amount of wholesale sales and number of warehouses. We provide a wide range of products and value-added services to customers in each of the key market channels to enable tire retailers to more effectively service and grow sales to consumers. Through our network of more than 140 distribution centers in the United States and Canada, we offer access to an extensive breadth and depth of inventory, representing more than 40,000 SKUs to approximately 80,000 customers (approximately 73,000 in the Unites States. and 7,000 in Canada). We estimate that as of our year-ending December 28, 2013, our share of the replacement passenger and light truck tire market in the U.S. is approximately 10%, up from approximately 1% in 1996. Our estimated share of the replacement passenger and light truck tire market in Canada as of our year-ending December 28, 2013, is approximately 12%.

We serve a highly diversified customer base across multiple channels, comprised of local, regional and national independent tire retailers, mass merchandisers, warehouse clubs, tire manufacturer-owned stores, automotive dealerships and web-based marketers. We have a significant market presence in a number of these key market channels and we believe that we are the only replacement tire distributor in North America that services each of these key market channels. During fiscal 2013, our largest customer and top ten customers accounted for 3.1% and 11.3%, respectively, of our net sales. We believe we are a top supplier to many of our customers and have maintained relationships with our top 20 customers that exceed a decade on average.

We believe we distribute one of the broadest product offering in our industry, supplying our customers with nine of the top ten leading passenger and light truck tire brands. We carry the flagship brands from each of the four largest tire manufacturers —Bridgestone, Continental, Goodyear and Michelin — as well as the Cooper, Hankook, Kumho, Nexen, Nitto and Pirelli brands. We also sell lower price point associate and proprietary brands of these and many other tire manufacturers, and through our acquisition of The Hercules Tire & Rubber Company we also own and market our proprietary Hercules® brand, the number one private brand in North America in 2013 based on unit sales. In addition, we sell custom wheels and accessories and related tire supplies and tools. Our revenues are primarily generated from sales of passenger car and light truck tires, which represented 81.6% of our net sales for the six months ended July 5, 2014. The remainder of our net sales is derived from other tire sales (15.9%), custom wheels (1.7%) and tire supplies, tools and other products (0.8%). We believe that our large and diverse product offering allows us to penetrate the replacement tire market across a broad range of price points.

Industry Overview

The U.S. and Canadian replacement tire markets have historically experienced stable growth and favorable pricing dynamics. However, these markets are subject to changes in consumer confidence and economic conditions. As a result, tire consumers may opt to temporarily defer replacement tire purchases or purchase less costly brand tires during challenging economic periods when macroeconomic factors such as unemployment, high fuel costs and weakness in the housing market impact their financial health.

From 1955 through 2013, U.S. replacement tire unit shipments increased by an average of approximately 3% per year. We believe that we are experiencing the beginning of a recovery after a prolonged downturn, which began in 2008 for the replacement tire market. Replacement tire unit shipments were up 4.4% in the United States and 0.7% in Canada in 2013 as compared to 2012, as a rebound in the housing market, a decline in unemployment rates and increases in vehicle sales and vehicle miles driven impacted the U.S. and Canadian replacement tire market favorably. The Rubber Manufacturers Association (“RMA”) projects that replacement tire shipments will increase by approximately 2% in the United States in 2014 as compared to 2013, as demand drivers continue to strengthen.

Going forward, we believe that long-term growth in the U.S. and Canadian replacement tire markets will continue to be driven by favorable underlying dynamics, including:

• increases in the number and average age of passenger cars and light trucks;

34

• increases in the number of miles driven;

• increases in the number of licensed drivers as the U.S. and Canadian population continues to grow;

• increases in the number of replacement tire SKUs;

• growth of the high performance tire segment; and

• shortening tire replacement cycles due to changes in product mix that increasingly favor high performance tires, which have shorter average lives.

Recent Developments

Acquisitions and Expansion

As part of our ongoing business strategy, we intend to expand in existing markets as well as enter into previously underserved markets and new geographic areas. Since the second half of 2010, we opened new distribution centers in 23 locations throughout the contiguous United States. We expect to continue to evaluate additional geographic markets during the remainder of 2014 and beyond.

On March 28, 2014, we completed the acquisition of Terry’s Tire Town Holdings, Inc., an Ohio corporation (“Terry’s Tire” and such acquisition, the “Terry’s Tire Acquisition”). Terry’s Tire and its subsidiaries are engaged in the business of purchasing, marketing, distributing and selling tires, wheels and related tire and wheel accessories on a wholesale basis to tire dealers, wholesale distributors, retail chains, automotive dealers and others, retreading tires and selling retread and other commercial tires through commercial outlets to end users and selling tires directly to consumers via the internet. Terry’s Tire operated 10 distribution centers spanning from Virginia to Maine and in Ohio. We believe the acquisition of Terry’s Tire will enhance our market position in these areas and aligns very well with our distribution centers, especially our new distribution centers that we opened over the past two years in the Northeast and Ohio.

The Terry’s Tire acquisition closed for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $372.7 million (the “Terry’s Tire Purchase Price”), consisting of cash consideration of approximately $358.0 million, contingent consideration of $12.5 million and non-cash consideration for debt assumed of $2.2 million. The cash consideration paid for the Terry’s Tire Acquisition included estimated working capital adjustments and a portion of consideration contingent on certain events achieved prior to closing. During second quarter 2014, we finalized the post-closing working capital adjustments in accordance with the purchase agreement. This adjustment decreased the Terry’s Tire Purchase Price by $5.4 million to $372.7 million. The Terry’s Tire Purchase Price was funded by a combination of borrowings under a new senior secured term loan facility, as more fully described under Liquidity and Capital Resources, and borrowings of approximately $72.5 million under Holdings’ existing U.S. ABL Facility. The Terry’s Tire Purchase Price is subject to certain post-closing adjustments, including but not limited to, working capital adjustments.

On January 31, 2014, we completed the acquisition of Hercules Tire Holdings LLC (“Hercules Holdings”) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated January 24, 2014 (the “Merger Agreement”). Hercules Holdings owns all of the capital stock of The Hercules Tire & Rubber Company (“Hercules”). Hercules is engaged in the business of purchasing, marketing, distributing, and selling replacement tires for passenger cars, trucks, and certain off road vehicles to tire dealers, wholesale distributors, retail distributors and others in the United States, Canada and internationally. Hercules operated 15 distribution centers in the United States., six distribution centers in Canada and one warehouse in northern China. Hercules also markets the Hercules® brand, which is one of the most sought-after proprietary tire brands in the industry. We believe the acquisition of Hercules will strengthen our presence in major markets such as California, Texas and Florida in addition to increasing our presence in Canada. Additionally, Hercules’ strong logistics and sourcing capabilities, including a long-standing presence in China, will also allow us to capitalize on the growing import market, as well as, provide the ability to expand the international sales of the Hercules® brand, which in 2013 had a 2% market share of the passenger and light truck market in North America and a 3% market share of highway truck tires in North America.

The Hercules acquisition closed for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $318.9 million (the “Hercules Closing Purchase Price”), consisting of net cash consideration of $310.0 million, contingent consideration of $3.5 million and non-cash consideration for debt assumed of $5.4 million. The Hercules Closing Purchase Price also includes an estimate for initial working capital adjustments. During second quarter 2014, we finalized the post-closing working capital adjustments in accordance with the Merger Agreement. This adjustment decreased the Hercules Closing Purchase Price by $0.4 million to $318.9 million. The Merger Agreement provides for the payment of up to $6.5 million in additional consideration contingent upon the occurrence of certain post-closing events (to the extent payable, the “Hercules Additional Purchase Price” and, collectively with the Hercules Closing Purchase Price, the “Hercules Purchase Price”). The cash consideration paid for the Hercules acquisition was funded by a combination of the issuance of additional Senior Subordinated Notes, as more fully described under Liquidity and Capital Resources, an equity contribution of $50.0 million from Holdings’ indirect parent and borrowings under Holdings’ credit agreement, as more fully described under Liquidity and Capital Resources The Hercules Closing Purchase Price is subject to certain post-closing adjustments, including, but not limited to, working capital adjustments.

On January 17, 2014, TriCan entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Kipling Tire Co. LTD (“Kipling”) pursuant to which TriCan agreed to acquire the wholesale distribution business of Kipling. Kipling has operated as a retail-wholesale business since 1982. Kipling’s wholesale business distributes tires from its Etobicoke facilities to approximately 400 retail customers in Southern Ontario. Kipling’s retail operations were not acquired by TriCan and will continue to operate under its current ownership. This acquisition further strengthened TriCan’s presence in the Southern Ontario region of Canada.

Credit Agreement Amendment

In addition, on June 16, 2014, we amended our credit agreement relating to our senior secured term loan facility to borrow an additional $340 million on the same terms as our existing Term Loan (as defined below). Pursuant to the amendment, until August 15, 2014, we also have the right to borrow up to an additional $80 million on the same terms as our existing Term Loan. The proceeds from these additional borrowings were or will be used to redeem all amounts outstanding under our Senior Secured Notes (as defined below) and pay related fees and expenses, as well as for working capital requirements and other general corporate purposes, including the financing of potential future acquisitions.

Results of Operations

Our fiscal year is based on either a 52- or 53-week period ending on the Saturday closest to each December 31. Therefore, the financial results of 53-week fiscal years, and the associated 14-week quarter, will not be comparable to the prior and subsequent 52-week fiscal years and the associated quarters having only 13 weeks. The quarters ended July 5, 2014 and June 29, 2013 each contain operating results for 13 weeks. The six months ended July 5, 2014 contains 27 weeks while the six months ended June 29, 2013 contains 26 weeks. It should be noted that our quarter-end reporting dates are different from our recently acquired subsidiaries. Hercules, Terry’s Tire, Trail Tire, Extreme Wheel, Kirks Tire, RTD Edmonton and RTD Calgary all have calendar quarter-end reporting dates with their second quarter of 2014 ending on June 30. There were no significant changes to the business subsequent to their fiscal period ends that would have a material impact on the condensed consolidated balance sheet or condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss) as of and for the quarter ended July 5, 2014.

Net Sales

Net sales for the quarter ended July 5, 2014 were $1,267.6 million, a $312.5 million, or 32.7%, increase, as compared with the quarter ended June 29, 2013. The increase in net sales was primarily driven by the combined results of new distribution centers as well as the acquisitions of Hercules and Terry’s Tire and our 2013 acquisitions of Wholesale Tire Distributors (“WTD”), Tire Distributors, Inc. (“TDI”) and Regional Tire Distributors Inc. (“RTD”). These growth initiatives added $296.8 million of incremental sales in the second quarter of 2014. In addition, we experienced an increase in comparable tire unit sales of $35.5 million primarily driven by an overall stronger sales unit environment. However, these increases were partially offset by lower net tire pricing of $16.8 million, primarily driven by manufacturer marketing specials, competitive pricing positions in certain U.S. markets, as well as a shift in product mix in our lower priced point offerings.

38

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold for the quarter ended July 5, 2014 were $1,063.4 million, a $260.9 million, or 32.5%, increase, as compared with the quarter ended June 29, 2013. The increase in cost of goods sold was primarily driven by the combined results of new distribution centers as well as the acquisitions of Hercules, Terry’s Tire, RTD, WTD and TDI. These growth initiatives added $263.6 million of incremental costs in the second quarter of 2014. Cost of goods sold for the quarter ended July 5, 2014 also includes $12.5 million related to the non-cash amortization of the inventory step-up recorded in connection with the acquisition of Terry’s Tire as compared to $2.7 million during the quarter ended June 29, 2013. In addition, an overall stronger sales unit environment increased cost of goods sold by $12.0 million. These increases were partially offset by lower net tire pricing of $15.1 million.

Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was 83.9% for the quarter ended July 5, 2014, a slight decrease compared with 84.0% for the quarter ended June 29, 2013. The decrease in cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was primarily driven by the margin contribution of the Hercules brand, a lower level of manufacturer price repositioning this year as compared to the prior year, and an incremental benefit from manufacturer programs during the current year. This decrease was partially offset by the non-cash amortization of the $12.5 million inventory step-up recorded in connection with the Terry’s Tire acquisition, which had a 1.0% impact on cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended July 5, 2014 were $204.0 million, a $66.7 million, or 48.6%, increase as compared with the quarter ended June 29, 2013. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily related to incremental costs associated with our new distribution centers as well as the acquisitions of Hercules, Terry’s Tire, RTD, WTD and TDI. Combined, these factors added $52.0 million of incremental costs to the second quarter of 2014. In addition, we also experienced a $9.2 million increase in salaries and wage expense primarily related to higher sales volume and related headcount as well as higher incentive and commission compensation. Additionally, occupancy & vehicle expense increased $1.3 million due to higher cost as we expanded several of our distribution centers to better service our existing customers.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales were 16.1% for the quarter ended July 5, 2014; an increase compared with 14.4% for the quarter ended June 29, 2013. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales were primarily driven by an increase in costs associated with our growth expansion of recently opened and acquired distribution centers, as our consolidation of the Hercules distribution centers will not be finalized until the latter part of the third quarter and the consolidation of the Terry’s Tire’s distribution centers did not commence until the latter part of second quarter and will extend thru the latter part of the third quarter. In addition, higher depreciation and amortization expense between periods resulted in a 0.2% increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales.

Management fees

Management fees for the quarter ended July 5, 2014 of $15.0 million represents a monitoring fee paid to our Sponsor, TPG, for certain management, consulting and financial services as well as fees paid to our outside board of directors. In addition, the quarter ended July 5, 2014 includes a $13.5 million fee paid to TPG in connection with the acquisition of Terry’s Tire and Hercules.

Transaction Expenses

Transaction expenses for the quarter ended July 5, 2014 were $15.5 million and were primarily related to costs associated with our acquisitions of Hercules and Terry’s Tire, as well as with expenses related to potential future acquisitions and other corporate initiatives. During the quarter ended June 29, 2013, transaction expenses of $2.3 million primarily related to costs associated with our acquisition of RTD in April 2013 and TriCan Tire Distributors (“TriCan”) in November 2012, as well as with expenses related to potential future acquisitions and other corporate initiatives.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the quarter ended July 5, 2014 was $32.2 million, a $14.8 million, or 85.3%, increase, compared with the quarter ended June 29, 2013. This increase was due to higher debt levels associated with our ABL Facility, FILO Facility Additional Subordinated Notes and Term Loan, all as defined under Liquidity and Capital Resources, which were driven by our 2014 acquisitions and the redemption of our Senior Secured Notes. In addition, changes in the fair value of our interest rate swaps resulted in a $0.8 million increase in interest expense.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

Loss on extinguishment of debt for the quarter ended July 5, 2014 of $17.1 million related to the early redemption of all $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 9.75% Senior Secured Notes on June 16, 2014 at a redemption price of 104.875% of the principal amount. Additionally, the loss on extinguishment of debt includes approximately $4.9 million related to the write-off of the unamortized original issuance discount and unamortized deferred financing fees associated with the Senior Secured Notes.

39

Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes

Our income tax benefit for the quarter ended July 5, 2014 was $26.4 million, based on pre-tax loss of $75.8 million; our effective tax rate under the discrete method was 34.8%. For the quarter ended June 29, 2013, our income tax benefit was $1.7 million, based on a pre-tax loss of $7.6 million; our effective tax rate was 22.9%.

Net Sales

Net sales for the six months ended July 5, 2014 were $2,343.1 million, a $548.0 million, or 30.5%, increase, as compared with the six months ended June 29, 2013. The increase in net sales was primarily driven by the combined results of new distribution centers as well as the acquisitions of Hercules and Terry’s Tire and our 2013 acquisitions of WTD, TDI and RTD. These growth initiatives added $464.3 million of incremental sales during the six month period of 2014. In addition, we experienced an increase in comparable tire unit sales of $134.3 million primarily driven by an overall stronger sales unit environment and the inclusion of five additional selling days in our first quarter of 2014 which contributed approximately $47.0 million to the unit increase. However, these increases were partially offset by lower net tire pricing of $47.0 million, primarily driven by manufacturer marketing specials, competitive pricing positions in certain U.S. markets, as well as a shift in product mix in our lower priced point offerings.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold for the six months ended July 5, 2014 were $1,980.7 million, a $470.0 million, or 31.1%, increase, as compared with the six months ended June 29, 2013. The increase in cost of goods sold was primarily driven by the combined results of new distribution centers as well as the acquisitions of Hercules, Terry’s Tire, RTD, WTD and TDI. These growth initiatives added $402.2 million of incremental costs during the six month period of 2014. Cost of goods sold for the six months ended July 5, 2014 also includes $31.6 million related to the non-cash amortization of the inventory step-up recorded in connection with the acquisitions of Terry’s Tire, Hercules and WTD as compared to $4.9 million during the six months ended June 29, 2013. In addition, the inclusion of five additional selling days in our first quarter of 2014 and an overall stronger sales unit environment increased cost of goods sold by $95.8 million (of which approximately $41.0 million was due to the five additional selling days). These increases were partially offset by lower net tire pricing of $42.5 million.

Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was 84.5% for the six months ended July 5, 2014, an increase compared with 84.2% for the six months ended June 29, 2013. The increase in cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was primarily driven

41

by the $31.6 million non-cash amortization of the inventory step-up recorded in connection with the Terry’s Tire, Hercules and WTD acquisitions. This increase had a 1.5% impact on cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales. Excluding the non-cash amortization of the inventory step-up, the decrease in cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was primarily driven by the margin contribution of the Hercules brand, a lower level of manufacturer price repositioning this year as compared to the prior year, and an incremental benefit from manufacturer programs during the current year.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended July 5, 2014 were $381.3 million, a $108.5 million, or 39.8%, increase as compared with the six months ended June 29, 2013. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily related to incremental costs associated with our new distribution centers as well as the acquisitions of Hercules, Terry’s Tire, RTD, WTD and TDI. Combined, these factors added $84.8 million of incremental costs to the six month period of 2014. In addition, we also experienced a $17.3 million increase in salaries and wage expense primarily due to higher sales volume and related headcount, higher incentive and commission compensation and the inclusion of five additional selling days in our first quarter of 2014, which contributed approximately $3.8 million to the year-over-year increase. Additionally, occupancy and vehicle expense increased $2.4 million due to higher cost as we expanded several of our distribution centers to better service our existing customers.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales were 16.3% for the six months ended July 5, 2014; an increase compared with 15.2% for the six months ended June 29, 2013. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales was primarily driven by an increase in costs associated with our growth expansion of recently opened and acquired distribution centers, as our consolidation of the Hercules distribution centers will not be finalized until the latter part of the third quarter and the consolidation of the Terry’s Tire’s distribution centers did not commence until the latter part of the second quarter and will extend thru the latter part of the third quarter.

Management fees

Management fees for the six months ended July 5, 2014 of $15.6 million represents a monitoring fee paid to our Sponsor, TPG, for certain management, consulting and financial services as well as fees paid to our outside board of directors. In addition, the six months ended July 5, 2014 includes a $13.5 million fee paid to TPG in connection with the acquisitions of Terry’s Tire and Hercules.

Transaction Expenses

Transaction expenses for the six months ended July 5, 2014 were $20.2 million and were primarily related to costs associated with our acquisitions of Hercules and Terry’s Tire, as well as with expenses related to potential future acquisitions and other corporate initiatives. During the six months ended June 29, 2013, transaction expenses of $3.3 million primarily related to costs associated with our acquisitions of RTD in April 2013 and TriCan in November 2012, as well as with expenses related to potential future acquisitions and other corporate initiatives.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the six months ended July 5, 2014 was $56.6 million, a $22.0 million, or 63.5%, increase compared with the six months ended June 29, 2013. This increase was due to higher debt levels associated with our ABL Facility, FILO Facility Additional Subordinated Notes and Term Loan, all as defined under Liquidity and Capital Resources, which were driven by our 2014 acquisitions and the redemption of our Senior Secured Notes. In addition, changes in the fair value of our interest rate swaps resulted in a $1.2 million increase in interest expense.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

Loss on extinguishment of debt for the six months ended July 5, 2014 of $17.1 million related to the early redemption of all $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 9.75% Senior Secured Notes on June 16, 2014 at a redemption price of 104.875% of the principal amount. Additionally, the loss on extinguishment of debt includes approximately $4.9 million related to the write-off the of unamortized original issuance discount and unamortized deferred financing fees associated with the Senior Secured Notes.

Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes

Our income tax benefit for the six months ended July 5, 2014 was $43.0 million, based on pre-tax loss of $126.5 million; our effective tax rate under the discrete method was 34.0%. For the six months ended June 29, 2013, our income tax benefit was $9.4 million, based on a pre-tax loss of $31.5 million; our effective tax rate was 29.7%. The effective rate of the year-to-date tax provision is lower than the statutory income tax rate primarily due to earnings in a foreign jurisdiction taxed at rates lower than the statutory U.S. federal rate and non-deductible transaction costs, which lowered the effective tax rate by 0.5% and 0.5%, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

The following table contains several key measures that we think are relevant to our financial condition and liquidity:

In thousands	July 5, 2014			December 28, 2013
Cash and cash equivalents	$	27,533		$	35,760
Working capital		856,824			538,444
Total debt		1,944,297			967,000
Total stockholder’s equity		661,979			692,974
Debt-to-capital ratio		74.6	%		58.3	%

Debt-to-capital ratio = total debt / (total debt plus total stockholder’s equity)

We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund our operating, investing and financing activities. In doing so, we review and analyze our current cash on hand, the number of days our sales are outstanding, inventory turns, capital expenditure commitments and income tax rates. Our cash requirements consist primarily of the following:

• Debt service requirements

• Funding of working capital

• Funding of capital expenditures

Our primary sources of liquidity include cash flows from operations and availability under our ABL Facility and FILO Facility. We currently do not intend nor foresee a need to repatriate funds from our Canadian subsidiaries to the United States, and no provision for U.S. income taxes has been made with respect to such earnings. We expect our cash flow from U.S. operations, combined with availability under our U.S. ABL Facility, to provide sufficient liquidity to fund our current obligations, projected working capital requirements and capital spending in the United Stated during the next twelve month period and for the foreseeable future. We expect cash flows from our Canadian operations, combined with availability under our Canadian ABL Facility, to provide sufficient liquidity to fund our current obligations, projected working capital requirements and capital spending in Canada during the next twelve month period and thereafter for the foreseeable future.

We are significantly leveraged. Accordingly, our liquidity requirements are significant, primarily due to our debt service requirements. As of July 5, 2014, our total indebtedness was $1,944.3 million with a debt-to-capital ratio of 74.6%. As of July 5, 2014, we have an additional $198.4 million of availability under our U.S. ABL Facility and an additional $70.8 million of availability under our Canadian ABL Facility. The availability under our U.S. and Canadian ABL Facilities is determined in accordance with our borrowing base.

Our liquidity and our ability to fund our capital requirements is dependent on our future financial performance, which is subject to general economic, financial and other factors that are beyond our control, many of which are described under “Item 1A—Risk Factors” in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K. If those factors significantly change or other unexpected factors adversely affect us, our business may not generate sufficient cash flow from operations or we may not be able to obtain future financings to meet our liquidity needs. We anticipate that, to the extent additional liquidity is necessary to fund our operations, it would be funded through borrowings under our ABL Facility, the incurrence of other indebtedness, additional equity financings or a combination of these potential sources of liquidity. We may not be able to obtain this additional liquidity on terms acceptable to us or at all.

Cash Flows

The following table sets forth the major categories of cash flows:

In thousands	Six Months Ended July 5, 2014			Six Months Ended June 29, 2013
Cash provided by (used in) continuing operating activities	$	(167,545	)	$	29,033
Cash provided by (used in) discontinued operations		350			—

Effect of exchange rate changes on cash		1,033			(2,548	)
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents		(8,227	)		953
Cash and cash equivalents - beginning of period		35,760			25,951
Cash and cash equivalents - end of period	$	27,533		$	26,904
Cash payments for interest	$	58,025		$	33,036
Cash payments (receipts) for taxes, net	$	3,817		$	2,464

Operating Activities

Net cash used in continuing operating activities for the six months ended July 5, 2014 was $167.5 million compared with cash provided by continuing operating activities of $29.0 million during the six months ended June 29, 2013. During the current period, working capital requirements resulted in a cash outflow of $177.7 million, primarily driven by an increase in customer accounts receivable of $38.3 million and an increase in inventory levels of $100.1 million as a result of stocking new distribution centers opened and as a result of building out the product offering provided through the Hercules acquisition and to a lesser extent, the build of inventory levels for the achievement of certain manufacturer first half program incentives.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 29, 2013 was $29.0 million. During the current period, working capital requirements resulted in a cash inflow of $3.8 million, primarily driven by an increase in accounts payable associated with the timing of vendor payments and a decrease in customer accounts receivable. These amounts were partially offset by changes in inventory levels which resulted in a cash outflow during the current period as a result of stocking new distribution centers opened during the year, seasonal changes in inventory stocking levels, and our recent acquisitions.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended July 5, 2014 was $855.4 million, compared with $88.5 million during the six months ended June 29, 2013. The change was primarily associated with cash paid for acquisitions, which resulted in a $757.3 million increase in the current period. In addition, we invested $34.2 million and $23.8 million in property and equipment purchases during the six months ended July 5, 2014 and June 29, 2013, respectively, which included information technology upgrades, information technology application development and warehouse racking.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended July 5, 2014 was $1,013.4 million, compared with $63.0 million during the six months ended June 29, 2013. The change was primarily related to proceeds received from the issuance of our Additional Subordinated Notes and Term Loan during the six months ended July 5, 2014. These proceeds were used to finance a portion of the Hercules and Terry’s Tire acquisitions as well to redeem all amounts outstanding under our Senior Secured Notes (as defined below). In addition, higher net borrowings from our ABL Facility and FILO Facility, specifically our U.S. ABL Facility, contributed to the period-over-period increase. The higher net borrowings under our ABL Facility and FILO Facility were due to the increase in cash outflow for working capital requirements between periods and cash paid for acquisitions. Additionally, the Company received an equity contribution of $50.0 million from TPG and certain co-investors during the six months ended July 5, 2014.

Supplemental Disclosures of Cash Flow Information

Cash payments for interest during the six months ended July 5, 2014 were $58.0 million, compared with $33.0 million paid during the six months ended June 29, 2013. The increase is primarily due to the timing of our period end on July 5, 2014, and as such, included an additional quarterly interest payment on our ABL Facility and FILO Facility as compared to the prior year. Additionally, higher levels of indebtedness incurred in connection with the issuance of our Additional Subordinated Notes and our Term Loan also contributed to the year-over-year increase.

44

Net cash payments for taxes during the six months ended July 5, 2014 were $3.8 million, compared with $2.5 million during the six months ended June 29, 2013. The difference between the periods primarily relates to the balance and timing of income tax extension payments and income tax payments due with returns.

ABL Facility

On January 31, 2014, in connection with the Hercules acquisition, we entered into the Second Amendment to Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Credit Agreement”), which provides for (i) U.S. revolving credit commitments of $850.0 million (of which up to $50.0 million can be utilized in the form of commercial and standby letters of credit), subject to U.S. borrowing base availability (the “U.S. ABL Facility”) and (ii) Canadian revolving credit commitments of $125.0 million (of which up to $10.0 million can be utilized in the form of commercial and standby letters of credit), subject to Canadian borrowing base availability (the “Canadian ABL Facility” and, collectively with the U.S. ABL Facility, the “ABL Facility”). In addition, the Credit Agreement provides (i) the U.S. borrowers under the agreement with a first-in last-out facility (the “U.S. FILO Facility”) in the aggregate principal amount of up to $80.0 million, subject to a borrowing base specific thereto and (ii) the Canadian borrowers under the agreement with a first-in last-out facility (the “Canadian FILO Facility” and collectively with the U.S. FILO Facility, the “FILO Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $15.0 million, subject to a borrowing base specific thereto. The U.S. ABL Facility is available to ATDI, Am-Pac Tire Dist. Inc., Hercules and any other U.S. subsidiary that we designate in the future in accordance with the terms of the agreement. The Canadian ABL Facility is available to TriCan and any other Canadian subsidiaries that we designate in the future in accordance with the terms of the agreement. Provided that no default or event of default then exists or would arise therefrom, we have the option to request that the ABL Facility be increased by an amount not to exceed $175.0 million (up to $25.0 million of which may be allocated to the Canadian ABL Facility), subject to certain rights of the administrative agent, swingline lender and issuing banks providing commitments for such increase. The maturity date for the ABL Facility is November 16, 2017. The maturity date for the FILO Facility is January 31, 2017.

As of July 5, 2014, we had $641.6 million outstanding under the U.S. ABL Facility. In addition, we had certain letters of credit outstanding in the aggregate amount of $10.0 million, leaving $198.4 million available for additional borrowings under the U.S. ABL Facility. The outstanding balance of the Canadian ABL Facility at July 5, 2014 was $53.1 million, leaving $70.8 million available for additional borrowings. As of July 5, 2014, the outstanding balance of the U.S. FILO Facility was $80.0 million and the outstanding balance of the Canadian FILO Facility was $10.3 million.

Borrowings under the U.S. ABL Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, either (a) 200 basis points over an adjusted LIBOR rate or (b) 100 basis points over an alternative base rate (the higher of the prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points and one month-adjusted LIBOR rate plus 100 basis points). The applicable margins under the U.S. ABL Facility are subject to step ups and step downs based on average excess borrowing availability under the ABL Facility.

Borrowings under the Canadian ABL Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, either (a) 100 basis points over an alternative Canadian base rate (the higher of the base rate as published by Bank of America, N.A., acting through its Canada branch, the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points and one month-LIBOR plus 100 basis points), (b) 100 basis points over a Canadian prime rate determined in accordance with the Canadian ABL Facility, (c) 200 basis points over a rate determined by

45

reference to the average rate applicable to Canadian Dollar bankers’ acceptances having an identical or comparable term as the proposed loan amount or (d) 200 basis points over an adjusted LIBOR rate. The applicable margins under the Canadian ABL Facility are subject to step ups and step downs based on average excess borrowing availability under the ABL Facility.

Borrowings under the U.S. FILO Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, either (a) 350 basis points over an adjusted LIBOR rate or (b) 250 basis points over an alternative base rate (the higher of the prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points and one month-adjusted LIBOR plus 100 basis points. The applicable margins under the U.S. FILO Facility are subject to step ups and step downs based on average excess borrowing availability under the ABL Facility.

Borrowings under the Canadian FILO Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, either (a) 250 basis points over an alternative Canadian base rate (the higher of the base rate as published by Bank of America, N.A., acting through its Canada branch, the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points and one month-LIBOR plus 100 basis points), (b) 250 basis points over a Canadian prime rate determined in accordance with the Canadian ABL Facility, (c) 350 basis points over a rate determined by reference to the average rate applicable to Canadian Dollar bankers’ acceptances having an identical or comparable term as the proposed loan amount or (d) 350 basis points over an adjusted LIBOR rate. The applicable margins under the Canadian FILO Facility are subject to step ups and step downs based on average excess borrowing availability under the ABL Facility.

The U.S. and Canadian borrowing base at any time equals the sum (subject to certain reserves and other adjustments) of:

• 85% of eligible accounts receivable of the U.S. or Canadian loan parties, as applicable; plus

• The lesser of (a) 70% of the lesser of cost or market value of eligible tire inventory of the U.S. or Canadian loan parties, as applicable and (b) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible tire inventory of the U.S. or Canadian loan parties, as applicable; plus

• The lesser of (a) 50% of the lower of cost or market value of eligible non-tire inventory of the U.S. or Canadian loan parties, as applicable and (b) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible non-tire inventory of the U.S. or Canadian loan parties, as applicable.

The U.S. FILO and the Canadian FILO borrowing base at any time equals the sum (subject to certain reserves and other adjustments) of:

• 5% of eligible accounts receivable of the U.S. or Canadian loan parties, as applicable; plus

• 10% of the net orderly liquidation value of the eligible tire and non-tire inventory of the U.S. or Canadian loan parties, as applicable.

All obligations under the U.S. ABL Facility and the U.S. FILO Facility are unconditionally guaranteed by Holdings and substantially all of ATDI’s existing and future, direct and indirect, wholly-owned domestic material restricted subsidiaries, other than Tire Pros Francorp. The Canadian ABL Facility and the Canadian FILO Facility are unconditionally guaranteed by the U.S. loan parties, TriCan and any future, direct and indirect, wholly-owned, material restricted Canadian subsidiaries. Obligations under the U.S. ABL Facility and the U.S. FILO Facility are secured by a first-priority lien on inventory, accounts receivable and related assets and a second-priority lien on substantially all other assets of the U.S. loan parties, subject to certain exceptions. Obligations under the Canadian ABL Facility and the Canadian FILO Facility are secured by a first-priority lien on inventory, accounts receivable and related assets of the U.S. loan parties and the Canadian loan parties and a second-priority lien on substantially all other assets of the U.S. loan parties and the Canadian loan parties, subject to certain exceptions.

The ABL Facility and FILO Facility contain customary covenants, including covenants that restricts our ability to incur additional debt, grant liens, enter into guarantees, enter into certain mergers, make certain loans and investments, dispose of assets, prepay certain debt, declare dividends, modify certain material agreements, enter into transactions with affiliates or change our fiscal year. The terms of the ABL Facility and FILO Facility generally restrict distributions or the payment of dividends in respect of our stock subject to certain exceptions requiring compliance with certain availability levels and fixed charge coverage ratios under the ABL Facility and other customary negotiated exceptions. If the amount available for additional borrowings under the ABL Facility is less than the greater of (a) 10.0% of the lesser of (x) the aggregate commitments under the ABL Facility and (y) the aggregate borrowing base and (b) $25.0 million, then we would be subject to an additional covenant requiring us to meet a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0. As of July 5, 2014, our additional borrowing availability under the ABL Facility was above the required amount and we were therefore not subject to the additional covenants.

Senior Secured Term Loan

In connection with the acquisition of Terry’s Tire, on March 28, 2014, ATDI entered into a credit agreement that provided for a senior secured term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $300.0 million (the “Initial Term Loan”). The Initial Term Loan was issued at a discount of 0.25% which, combined with certain debt issuance costs paid at closing, resulted in net proceeds of approximately $290.9 million. The Initial Term Loan will accrete based on an effective interest rate of 6% to an aggregate accreted value of $300.0 million, the full principal amount at maturity. The net proceeds from the Initial Term Loan were used to finance a portion of the Terry’s Tire Purchase Price.

46

On June 16, 2014, ATDI amended the Initial Term Loan (the “Incremental Amendment”) to borrow an additional $340.0 million (the “Incremental Term Loan”) on the same terms as the Initial Term Loan. Pursuant to the Incremental Amendment, until August 15, 2014 ATDI also has the right to borrow up to an additional $80.0 million (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan” and collectively with the Initial Term Loan and the Incremental Term Loan, the “Term Loan”) on the same terms as the Initial Term Loan. The proceeds from the Incremental Term Loan, net of related debt issuance costs paid at closing, amounted to approximately $335.7 million, and were used, in part, to redeem all $250.0 million aggregate principal amounts of notes outstanding under ATDI’s Senior Secured Notes and related fees and expenses as more fully described below, and the remaining proceeds will be used for working capital requirements and other general corporate purposes, including the financing of potential future acquisitions. We received the proceeds from the Delayed Draw Term Loan at the end of the second quarter of 2014. The maturity date for the Term Loan is June 1, 2018.

Borrowings under the Term Loan bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, either (a) a Eurodollar rate determined by reference to LIBOR, plus an applicable margin of 475 basis points or (b) 375 basis points over an alternative base rate determined by reference of the higher of the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points, the prime rate and 100 basis points over the one month Eurodollar rate. The Eurodollar rate is subject to an interest rate floor of 100 basis points. The applicable margins under the Term Loan are subject to a step down based on a consolidated net leverage ratio, as defined in the agreement.

All obligations under the Term Loan are unconditionally guaranteed by Holdings and, subject to certain customary exceptions, all of ATDI’s existing and future, direct and indirect, wholly-owned domestic material subsidiaries. Obligations under the Term Loan are secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all property, assets and capital stock of ATDI except accounts receivable, inventory and related intangible assets and a second-priority lien on all accounts receivable and related intangible assets.

The Term Loan contains customary covenants, including covenants that restrict our ability to incur additional debt, create liens, enter into guarantees, enter into certain mergers, make certain loans and investments, dispose of assets, prepay certain debt, declare dividends, modify certain material agreements, enter into transactions with affiliates, change the nature of our business or change our fiscal year. The terms of the Term Loan generally restrict distributions or the payment of dividends in respect of our stock subject to certain exceptions such as the amount of 50% of net income (reduced by 100% of net losses) for the period beginning January 1, 2014 and other customary negotiated exceptions.

We are required to make principal payments equal to 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Term Loan on the last business day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the last business day of June 2014. In addition, subject to certain exceptions, we are required to repay the Term Loan in certain circumstances, including with 50% (which percentage will be reduced to 25% and 0%, as applicable, subject to attaining certain senior secured net leverage ratios) of its annual excess cash flow, as defined in the Term Loan agreement. The Term Loan also contains repayments provision related to non-ordinary course asset or property sales when certain conditions are met, and related to the incurrence of debt that is not permitted under the agreement.

Senior Secured Notes

On May 16, 2014, ATDI delivered a Notice of Full Redemption, providing for the redemption of all $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 9.75% Senior Secured Notes (“Senior Secured Notes”) on June 16, 2014 (the “Redemption Date”) at a price equal to 104.875% of the principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding the Redemption Date (the “Redemption Price”). On June 16, 2014, using proceeds from the Incremental Term Loan, the Senior Secured Notes were redeemed for a Redemption Price of $263.2 million.

Senior Subordinated Notes

On May 28, 2010, ATDI issued $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 11.50% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018 (the “Initial Subordinated Notes”). Interest on the Initial Subordinated Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on December 1, 2010.

In connection with the consummation of the Hercules acquisition, on January 31, 2014, ATDI completed the sale to certain purchasers of an additional $225.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 11.50% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018 (the “Additional Subordinated Notes” and, collectively with the Initial Subordinated Notes, the “Senior Subordinated Notes”). The Additional Subordinated Notes were issued at a discount from their principal amount at maturity and generated net proceeds of approximately $221.1 million. The Additional Subordinated Notes will accrete based on an effective interest rate of 12% to an aggregate accreted value of $225.0 million, the full principal amount at maturity.

47

The Additional Subordinated Notes have identical terms to the Initial Subordinated Notes except the Additional Subordinated Notes accrues interest from January 31, 2014. The Additional Subordinated Notes and the Initial Subordinated Notes are treated as a single class of securities for all purposes under the indenture. The Senior Subordinated Notes will mature on June 1, 2018.

The Senior Subordinated Notes may be redeemed at any time at the option of ATDI, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days notice at a redemption price of 102.0% of the principal amount if the redemption date occurs between June 1, 2014 and May 31, 2015 and 100.0% of the principal amount if the redemption date occurs between June 1, 2015 and May 31, 2016.

The Senior Subordinated Notes are unconditionally guaranteed by Holdings and substantially all of ATDI’s existing and future, direct and indirect, wholly-owned domestic material restricted subsidiaries, other than Tire Pros Francorp, subject to certain exceptions.

The indenture governing the Senior Subordinated Notes contains covenants that, among other things, limits ATDI’s ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to incur additional debt or issue preferred stock; pay certain dividends or make certain distributions in respect of ATDI’s or repurchase or redeem ATDI’s capital stock; make certain loans, investments or other restricted payments; place restrictions on the ability of ATDI’s subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments to ATDI; engage in transactions with stockholders or affiliates; transfer or sell certain assets; guarantee indebtedness or incur other contingent obligations; incur certain liens without securing the Senior Subordinated Notes; consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of ATDI’s assets; enter into certain transactions with ATDI’s affiliates; and designate ATDI’s subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries. The terms of the Senior Subordinated Notes generally restrict distributions or the payment of dividends in respect of our stock subject to certain exceptions such as the amount of 50% of net income (reduced by 100% of net losses) for the period beginning April 4, 2010 and other customary negotiated exceptions.

Adjusted EBITDA

We report our financial results in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“GAAP”). In addition, we present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental financial measure in order to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that should be considered supplemental to, not a substitute for or superior to, the financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. It has limitations in that it does not reflect all of the costs associated with the operations of our business as determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, this measure may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures reported by other companies. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides important supplemental information to both management and investors regarding financial and business trends used in assessing our financial condition. As a result, one should not consider Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as a substitute for our results reported under GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by analyzing results on a GAAP basis as well as on a non-GAAP basis, predominantly disclosing GAAP results and providing reconciliations from GAAP results to non-GAAP results.

The following table shows a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA from the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net income (loss) in order to show the differences in these measures of operating performance:

In thousands	Quarter Ended July 5, 2014			Quarter Ended June 29, 2013			Six Months Ended July 5, 2014			Six Months Ended June 29, 2013

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no significant off balance sheet arrangements, other than liabilities related to leases of Winston Tire Company (“Winston Tire”) that we guaranteed when we sold Winston Tire in 2001. As of July 5, 2014, our total obligations as guarantor on these leases are approximately $1.6 million extending over five years. However, we have secured assignments or sublease agreements for the vast majority of these commitments with contractually assigned or subleased rentals of approximately $1.4 million as of July 5, 2014. A provision has been made for the net present value of the estimated shortfall. The accrual for lease liabilities could be materially affected by factors such as the credit worthiness of lessors, assignees and sublessees and our success at negotiating early termination agreements with lessors. These factors are significantly dependent on general economic conditions. While we believe that our current estimates of these liabilities are adequate, it is possible that future events could require significant adjustments to those estimates.

Critical Accounting Polices and Estimates

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with those accounting principles requires management to use judgments in making estimates and assumptions based on the relevant information available at the end of each period. These estimates and assumptions have a significant effect on reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities because they result primarily from the need to make estimates and assumptions on matters that are inherently uncertain. Actual results may differ from estimates.

Management believes there have been no significant changes during the quarter ended July 5, 2014, to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies and estimates in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2013.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists.” ASU 2013-11 clarifies guidance and eliminates diversity in practice on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. This new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2013 and subsequent interim periods. We adopted this guidance on December 29, 2013 (the first day of our 2014 fiscal year) and the adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity,” (“ASU 2014-08”). Under ASU 2014-08, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations that have a major effect on a company’s operations and financial results should be presented as discontinued operations. Additionally, ASU 2014-08 requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations that will provide financial statement users with more information about the assets, liabilities, income, and expenses of discontinued operations. The amendments in ASU 2014-08 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014. However, ASU 2014-08 should not be applied to a component that is classified as held for sale before the effective date even if the component is disposed of after the effective date. Early adoption is permitted, but only for disposals (or classifications as held for sale) that have not been reported in financial statement previously issued. We are currently assessing the impact, if any on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”), which provides guidance for revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets and supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition,” and most industry-specific guidance. This ASU also supersedes some cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35, “Revenue Recognition-Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts.” The standard’s core principle is that a company should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under today’s guidance. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 is effective for us beginning in fiscal year 2017 and, at that time we may adopt the new standard under the full retrospective method or the modified retrospective method. Early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the method and impact the adoption of ASU 2014-08 will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

Interest Rate Risk

Our ABL Facility, FILO Facility and Term Loan are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates which could impact our results of operations and financial condition. Interest on the ABL Facility, FILO Facility and Term Loan are tied to, at our option, either a base rate, or a prime rate, or LIBOR. At July 5, 2014, the total amount outstanding under our ABL Facility, FILO Facility and Term Loan that was subject to interest rate changes was $1,502.8 million.

To manage this exposure, we use interest rate swap agreements in order to hedge the changes in our variable interest rate debt. Interest rate swap agreements utilized by us in our hedging programs are viewed as risk management tools, involve little complexity and are not used for trading or speculative purposes. To minimize the risk of counterparty non-performance, interest rate swap agreements are made only through major financial institutions with significant experience in such instruments.

At July 5, 2014, $1,102.8 million of the total outstanding balance of our ABL Facility, FILO Facility and Term Loan that was not hedged by an interest rate swap agreement and thus subject to interest rate changes. Based on this amount, a hypothetical increase of 1% in such interest rate percentages would result in an increase to our annual interest expense by $11.0 million.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

The financial position and results of operations for TriCan, our 100% owned subsidiary acquired during 2012 are impacted by movements in the exchange rates between the Canadian dollar and the U.S. dollar. As of July 5, 2014, we did not have any foreign currency derivatives in place. We assess the market risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates utilizing a sensitivity analysis that measures the potential impact on our earnings. During the six months ended July 5, 2014, a hypothetical 10% fluctuation in the U.S. dollar to Canadian dollar exchange rate would have affected our net income (loss) by $0.7 million, respectively.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

(a) We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, recognizes that any set of controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

(b) As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at a reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended July 5, 2014, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

50

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

We are involved from time to time in various lawsuits, including alleged class action lawsuits arising out of the ordinary conduct of our business. Although no assurances can be given, we do not expect that any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition. We are also involved in various litigation proceedings incidental to the ordinary course of our business. We believe, based on consultation with legal counsel, that none of these will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

ARTICLE I.

DEFINITIONS

All capitalized terms used throughout this Agreement and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in Exhibit A hereto.

ARTICLE II.

PRE-CLOSING TRANSACTIONS; SALE AND PURCHASE

2.1 Pre-Closing Transactions.

(a) Prior to the Closing Time, the Principal will take or cause to be taken, as applicable, all actions and steps necessary or desirable to implement the Pre-Closing Transactions on a basis consistent with that set out in Schedule 2.1, including the sequencing of actions and events set forth therein. Buyer will cooperate with the Principal to the extent reasonably required of Buyer in order to effect the Pre-Closing Transactions in accordance with this Agreement. The Principal shall provide Buyer with full particulars of the Pre-Closing Transactions, and Buyer shall have a right to review all draft related documentation in respect of same and provide comments thereon (which comments shall be given reasonable consideration by the Principal), sufficiently in advance of the Closing Time to permit Buyer to confirm the due implementation of the Pre-Closing Transactions.

(b) In connection with the Pre-Closing Transactions, the Principal shall: (i) cause all Encumbrances on the Preferred Shares to be fully and irrevocably satisfied, removed, released and discharged in all respects; and (ii) duly file and record, or cause to be duly filed and recorded, such financing change statements or other evidences of the satisfaction, removal and discharge thereof all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer;

2.2 Actions at the Closing Time. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, effective as at the Closing Time, Seller hereby sells to Buyer, and Buyer hereby purchases from Seller, the Purchased Assets, free and clear of any Encumbrances (other than Permitted Encumbrances) and Buyer hereby assumes the Assumed Liabilities.

2.3 Closing. The closing of the Transactions (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP, located at 100 King Street West, 1 First Canadian Place, Suite 6300, Toronto, Ontario M5X 1B8, Canada, on June 27, 2014, or on such other date, time and place as Seller, the Principal and Buyer mutually agree (the “Closing Date”).

2.4 Assumption of Liabilities. Except for the Assumed Liabilities and as set out in Section 8.5, Buyer shall not assume and shall not be responsible for any of the Liabilities of Seller, whether present or future, absolute or contingent and whether or not relating to the Business.

2.5 Assignment of Restricted Rights.

(a) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as an assignment of, or an attempt to assign to Buyer, any Restricted Right (a) which, as a matter of law, or by its terms, (i) is not assignable, (ii) is not assignable without the approval or consent of the issuer thereof or other party or parties thereto, or (b) in respect of which the completion of the Transactions will increase the obligations or decrease the rights or entitlements of Seller or Buyer, without first obtaining either such approval or consent or a waiver or a modification with respect to such Restricted Right, in each case acceptable to Buyer.

(b) If at Closing there are any Restricted Rights in respect of which necessary consents, approvals, waivers or modifications have not been obtained, then Seller shall, at its expense, continue its efforts to obtain any necessary consents, approvals, waivers or modifications with respect to such Restricted Rights. In respect of any such Restricted Rights, Seller shall:

(i) apply for and use all reasonable efforts to obtain all consents, approvals, waivers or modifications acceptable to Buyer. Nothing in this Section 2.5 shall require Buyer to make any payment to any other party in order to obtain such consents, approvals, waivers or modifications, as any such payments shall be for Seller’s account;

(ii) enforce any rights of Seller arising from such Restricted Right against the issuer thereof or the other party or parties thereto;

(iii) at no time use any such Restricted Right for its own purposes or assign or provide the benefit of such Restricted Right to any other party;

2

(iv) pay over to Buyer, all monies collected by or paid to Seller in respect of such Restricted Rights; and

(v) take all such actions and do, or cause to be done, all such things at the request of Buyer as shall reasonably be necessary in order that the value and benefits of the applicable Restricted Rights shall be preserved and enure to the benefit of Buyer.

(c) Once any necessary approvals, consents, waivers or modifications for any Restricted Right referred to in this Section 2.5 have been obtained on terms acceptable to Buyer, Seller shall promptly assign, transfer, convey and deliver such Contract or Permit to Buyer, and Buyer shall assume the obligations under such Contract or Permit from and after the date of assignment to Buyer pursuant to an assignment and assumption agreement having terms substantially similar to the assignment and assumption agreement for other Contracts and/or Permits, as applicable, delivered pursuant to this Agreement.

ARTICLE III.

PURCHASE PRICE

3.1 Purchase Price. Subject to Section 3.3(e), the aggregate purchase price to be paid by Buyer to Seller for the Purchased Assets shall be six million five hundred and two thousand four hundred United States dollars (US$6,502,400) plus the amount of the Assumed Liabilities, (the “Purchase Price”) plus if the Closing Working Capital exceeds the Target Working Capital, the amount by which the Closing Working Capital exceeds the Target Working Capital, or less if the Target Working Capital exceeds the Closing Working Capital, the amount by which the Target Working Capital exceeds the Closing Working Capital. The Purchase Price was agreed to by Buyer and Seller based on an 8 times multiple of Adjusted EBITDA of the Business.

3.2 Satisfaction of Purchase Price. Buyer shall satisfy the Purchase Price at the Closing Time as follows:

(a) by the assumption by Buyer of the Assumed Liabilities;

(b) by payment to the Escrow Agent of the Escrow Amount, pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a single bank account designated by the Escrow Agent;

(c) by delivery of a non-interest bearing promissory note with a principal amount equal to US$743,120 and substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Asset Purchase Note”); and

(d) by payment to Seller of US$5,109,080, being an amount equal to the Purchase Price less (i) the amount of the Assumed Liabilities; (ii) the Escrow Amount; and (iii) the principal amount of the Asset Purchase Note, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a single bank account designated by Seller.

3.3 Closing Statement and Final Determination of Purchase Price.

(a) As soon as reasonably practicable but not later than 90 days following the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller a statement consisting of the following as of

3

immediately prior to the Closing Time, calculated on a basis consistent with the Seller’s past practice (and for certainty, with respect to Working Capital, calculated in accordance with the definition thereof): (i) the unaudited balance sheet of the Seller (the “Closing Balance Sheet”) and (ii) the Working Capital (the “Closing Working Capital”) (collectively, the “Closing Statement”).

(b) During the 90 day period following the Closing Date, Seller and its accounting representatives shall be entitled, during ordinary business hours upon reasonable advance notice, to examine the working papers related to the preparation of the Closing Statement and the Books and Records and to discuss the preparation of the Closing Statement with Buyer.

(c) Seller may dispute any amounts reflected on the Closing Statement (the “Disputed Amounts”), but only if (i) the basis of its dispute is that the amounts reflected on the Closing Statement were not arrived at in accordance with this Agreement, or resulted from a mistake of fact, and (ii) Seller shall have notified Buyer in writing of each disputed item (the “Notice of Objection”), specifying the amount thereof in dispute and setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for such dispute, within 30 days after the date Buyer delivered the Closing Statement to Seller. To the extent Seller does not dispute an amount reflected on the Closing Statement in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, such amount shall be deemed final and binding on the Parties for all purposes hereunder. In the event of such a dispute, Seller and Buyer shall attempt to reconcile their differences. If Seller and Buyer are unable to reach a resolution with such effect within 30 days after receipt by Buyer of the Notice of Objection, Seller and Buyer shall submit the items remaining in dispute for resolution to KPMG LLP (or, if such firm declines to act, to another nationally recognized independent public accounting firm mutually acceptable to Buyer and Seller) (the “Resolution Accountants”), which shall be instructed to use its best efforts to render a decision as to all items in dispute within 30 days after such submission. The Resolution Accountants shall only resolve the Disputed Amounts by choosing the amounts submitted by either Buyer or Seller or amounts in between. Buyer and Seller shall each furnish to the Resolution Accountants such working papers and other documents and information relating to the Disputed Amounts as the Resolution Accountants may request. The resolution of the Disputed Amounts by the Resolution Accountants shall be final and binding on the Parties for all purposes hereunder, and the determination of the Resolution Accountants shall constitute an arbitral award that is final, binding and unappealable and upon which a judgment may be entered by a court having jurisdiction. After final determination of the Closing Working Capital, Seller shall have no further right to make any claims in respect of any element of the foregoing amounts that Seller raised in the Notice of Objection. The fees and disbursements of the Resolution Accountants shall be allocated between Buyer and Seller in the same proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of unsuccessfully Disputed Amounts submitted by Buyer or Seller (as finally determined by the Resolution Accountants) bears to the total dollar amount of disputed items so submitted.

(d) The Closing Statement shall be deemed final for all purposes hereunder upon the earlier of (i) the absence of Seller delivering a Notice of Objection to Buyer within 30 days after the date Buyer delivered the Closing Statement to Seller, and (ii) the resolution of all Disputed Amounts pursuant to Section 3.3(c). The date on which the Closing Statement is finally determined in accordance with this Section 3.3(d) is hereinafter referred as to the “Determination Date”.

4

(e) Within three Business Days after the Determination Date:

(i) Buyer shall provide to Seller a calculation of the final Purchase Price (the “Final Purchase Price”) using the calculation set forth in Section 3.1;

(ii) if the Final Purchase Price (as so determined) is greater than the Purchase Price, Buyer shall pay to Seller the aggregate amount of the difference thereof, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account designated in writing by Seller; or

(iii) if the Purchase Price is greater than the Final Purchase Price (as so determined), Seller shall promptly pay to Buyer the aggregate amount of the difference thereof, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account designated in writing by Buyer, which obligation shall be a joint and several obligation of Seller and the Principal (or at Buyer’s election, Buyer may withdraw such amount from the Escrow Funds).

(f) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date and in any event not later than 90 days thereafter, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller a draft allocation of the Purchase Price among the Purchased Assets in accordance with fair market values, consistent with the principles set forth in Schedule 3.3(f) (the “Allocation Statement”). In the event that Seller does not object to the draft allocation proposed by Buyer within 30 days after the delivery of the Allocation Statement, Buyer and Seller shall use the Allocation Statement prepared and delivered by Buyer. In the event that Seller objects in good faith to the allocation proposed by Buyer, Seller shall so advise Buyer by delivery to Buyer of a notice (the “Objection Notice”) within 30 days after the delivery to Seller of the Allocation Statement. The Objection Notice shall set out an alternative allocation proposed by Seller. Seller and Buyer shall endeavour in good faith to resolve any disagreement within the later of: (i) 30 days of the delivery of the Objection Notice; and (ii) 30 days after the delivery of the Closing Statement. If Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve their disagreements within such time, each of Buyer and Seller shall use its own allocation. Except as may be required by Law, Buyer and Seller agree to report the allocation of the Purchase Price among the Purchased Assets in the preparation and filing of all Tax Returns in accordance with this Section 3.3(f).

(g) The amount of any payment pursuant to Section 3.3(e) shall be deemed an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all purposes hereunder, including for purposes of the final consideration payable hereunder, and shall be allocated in accordance with Section 3.3(f).

(h) The final determination of the Final Purchase Price pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.3 shall be conclusive for purposes of the operation of the provisions hereof, but neither the provisions hereof nor the resolution of the final determination of the Final Purchase Price pursuant hereto shall affect any rights of Buyer to indemnification to the extent provided for under, and subject to the limitations contained in, Article IX, or preclude the Parties from treating any indemnification payments received by Buyer or Seller as adjustments to the Final Purchase Price for Tax, accounting or other purposes.

5

3.4 Escrow Agreement.

(a) At Closing, Buyer, Seller and the Escrow Agent shall enter into the Escrow Agreement in order to establish terms and conditions regarding the treatment of the Escrow Funds.

(b) The Parties agree that: (i) 50% of the Escrow Amount shall be released to Seller on the Tranche 1 Release Date; and (ii) 50% of the Escrow Amount shall be released to Seller on the Tranche 2 Release Date, in each case, in accordance with this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement; provided, that if there are any indemnification claims hereunder for Losses of the Buyer Indemnified Parties that are properly pending on either of the Tranche 1 Release Date or the Tranche 2 Release Date, as applicable, an amount equal to the amount of all such claims shall be withheld from the amount otherwise distributable on such date and shall be retained as Escrow Funds and shall not be released until such claims are finally resolved and satisfied or are otherwise released pursuant to a joint direction of Buyer and Seller. All fees and charges of the Escrow Agent and otherwise incurred under the Escrow Agreement shall be borne equally by Buyer and Seller. Buyer shall be entitled to offset against and collect from the Escrow Funds any amounts due and owing to Buyer, but unpaid, by Seller pursuant to Section 3.3(e), this Section 3.4, Section 8.11 or Article IX; provided, that such offset shall not relieve Seller from any obligation due under any of the foregoing Sections or Articles. Interest and investment returns (net of investment losses) accruing on the Escrow Amount shall accrue to the benefit of Seller and shall be paid to Seller annually on the anniversary date of the Closing. Seller shall include all such interest and investment income in computing its income for Tax purposes.

(c) The Escrow Funds shall be held in escrow and shall not be subject to any Encumbrance, and shall be held and disbursed solely for the purposes and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. Upon the final release of all of the Escrow Funds, the Escrow Agreement shall terminate.

3.5 GST, Sales and Transfer Taxes.

(a) In respect of the purchase and sale of the Purchased Assets under this Agreement, each Party shall pay directly to the appropriate Governmental Body all sales and transfer Taxes, registration charges and transfer fees payable by it (other than Taxes in respect of which election(s) shall be made in accordance with Section 3.5(b)), and, upon the reasonable request of a Party, the requested Party shall furnish proof of such payment.

(b) To the extent permitted under subsection 167(1) of Part IX of the Excise Tax Act (Canada) and any equivalent or corresponding provision under any applicable provincial or territorial legislation imposing a similar value added or multi-staged tax, Buyer and Seller shall jointly elect that no tax be payable with respect to the purchase and sale of the Purchased Assets under this Agreement. Buyer and Seller shall make such election(s) in prescribed form containing prescribed information and Buyer shall file such election(s) in compliance with the requirements of the applicable legislation.

Principal in this Agreement or in any Transaction Document, other than any remedy based on equitable principles, including injunctive relief or specific performance, which shall not be limited by this Section 9.2.

(b) For the purposes of calculating Losses of the Buyer Indemnified Parties, the principle to be applied is that the Buyer Indemnified Parties are to be made whole and to be placed in the same position as it would have been in if the act, omission or state of affairs giving rise to the Loss indemnified against had not arisen, and by way of example, to the extent that any Loss indemnified against hereunder (or the event giving rise to the same): (i) creates, gives rise to or otherwise has the result of conferring upon a Buyer Indemnified Party, any tax deduction, tax credit or tax relief (but only to the extent that any such tax deduction, tax credit or tax relief has, prior to the receipt of the applicable indemnification payment, resulted in a direct reduction of the Taxes payable by a Buyer Indemnified Party or will result in a direct reduction of the Taxes payable by a Buyer Indemnified Party in the taxation year in which the applicable indemnification payment is received by a Buyer Indemnified Party) or (ii) results in any recovery pursuant to any insurance coverage, the same shall be taken into account in the calculation of the Loss of the Buyer Indemnified Parties. Similarly, if the receipt of an indemnification payment by a Buyer Indemnified Party will result in an increase in the Taxes payable by a Buyer Indemnified Party and/or a decrease in the Tax attributes of a Buyer Indemnified Party (over and above what the position of the Buyer Indemnified Party would have been if the act, omission or state of affairs giving rise to the Loss indemnified against had not arisen), the amount of such indemnification payment shall be increased so that the amount of the indemnification payment received by the Buyer Indemnified Parties, after deducting the amount of such increase in Taxes payable and/or decrease in Tax attributes, is equal to the amount they would have received if there had been no such increase in Taxes payable and/or decrease in Tax attributes as a result of the receipt of such indemnification payment. For clarity, if any amount in respect of an inaccuracy in any of the representations and warranties made by Seller or breach of any covenants of Seller was reflected in the Closing Working Capital (excluding any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income), then such inaccuracy or breach shall not give rise to an indemnification obligation under this Article IX to the extent of the amount so reflected in the Closing Statement.

(c) Other than Losses arising from Fraud or inaccuracy or breach of a Fundamental Representation, Seller and the Principal shall not be liable to the Buyer Indemnified Parties for any Losses until the aggregate amount of all such Losses incurred by the Buyer Indemnified Parties exceeds $100,000, whereupon Seller and the Principal shall be liable for all such Losses in excess of $100,000.

(d) Except in the case of Fraud or inaccuracy or breach of a Fundamental Representation, the indemnification obligations of Seller and the Principal under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents shall not exceed the Final Purchase Price.

9.3 Survival and Time Limitations.

(a) All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Seller and the Principal in this Agreement, any Transaction Document and any other certificate or document delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing. Except in the case of Fraud, Seller and the Principal shall not have any Liability with respect to any claim for any breach or inaccuracy of any representation that is not a Fundamental Representation or any breach of a

33

covenant or agreement in this Agreement to be performed and complied with as of the Closing Date (but not including any agreement or covenant to be performed or complied with at or after the Closing) unless Buyer notifies Seller of such a claim on or before the date that is two years after the Closing Date. Seller and the Principal shall not have any Liability with respect to any claim for any breach or inaccuracy of any Tax Representation unless Buyer notifies Seller of such a claim on or before the date that is 90 days after the expiration of the applicable statute or period of limitations (including any extension of such statute or period of limitations). Any claim for any breach or inaccuracy of a Title Representation or breach of an agreement or covenant to be performed or complied with at or after the Closing may be made at any time before the last day of the ultimate limitation period permitted by applicable Law. No party shall have any liability or obligation of any nature with respect to any representation, warranty, agreement or covenant after the termination thereof, except with respect to a claim for indemnification under this Article IX if written notice thereof has been given in accordance with the provisions hereof by Buyer to Seller prior to the end of the applicable survival period set forth in this Section 9.3(a). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if such written notice has been given in accordance with the provisions hereof and prior to the termination of the applicable representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, then the relevant representations, warranties, covenants and agreements shall survive as to such claim until the claim has been finally resolved.

(b) All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Buyer in this Agreement, any Transaction Document and any other certificate or document delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing. Except in the case of Fraud, Buyer shall not have any Liability with respect to any claim for any breach or inaccuracy of any representation and warranty of Buyer or any breach of a covenant or agreement in this Agreement to be performed and complied with as of the Closing Date (but not including any agreement or covenant to be performed or complied with at or after the Closing) unless Seller notifies Buyer of such a claim on or before the date that is two years after the Closing Date. Any claim for any breach of an agreement or covenant to be performed or complied with at or after the Closing may be made at any time before the last day of the ultimate limitation period permitted by applicable Law. No party shall have any liability or obligation of any nature with respect to any representation, warranty, agreement or covenant after the termination thereof, except with respect to a claim for indemnification under this Article IX if written notice thereof has been given in accordance with the provisions hereof by Seller to Buyer prior to the end of the applicable survival period set forth in this Section 9.3(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if such written notice has been given in accordance with the provisions hereof and prior to the termination of the applicable representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, then the relevant representations, warranties, covenants and agreements shall survive as to such claim until the claim has been finally resolved.

9.4 Manner of Payment.

(a) Buyer may set off all or any portion of any amount to which any Buyer Indemnified Party may be entitled under this Article IX against any amount otherwise payable (other than amounts payable under, or pursuant to, the Employment Agreement) by Buyer or any of its Affiliates to Seller. The exercise of such set-off right in good faith shall not constitute a breach or event of default under this Agreement or any Contract relating to any amount against which the set-off is applied. In addition to, and not in limitation of Buyer’s right of set-off under

34

this Section 9.4, Buyer may elect in its sole discretion to recover all or any portion of any amount to which any Buyer Indemnified Party may be entitled under this Article IX from the Escrow Funds until such funds are exhausted and then may, subject to the other limitations contained in this Article IX, recover any additional amount to which any Buyer Indemnified Party is entitled under this Article IX directly from Seller and/or the Principal.

(b) Buyer and Seller hereby agree to provide joint instructions to the Escrow Agent on a timely basis so that distributions from the Escrow Funds can be made by the Escrow Agent to the applicable Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party in accordance with this Section 9.4 unless the entitlement of the Buyer Indemnified Parties or Seller Indemnified Parties, as applicable, in respect of such Loss is in dispute.

9.5 Third-Party Claims.

(a) If a third party commences or threatens a Proceeding (a “Third-Party Claim”) against any Buyer Indemnified Party (the “Indemnified Party”) with respect to any matter that the Indemnified Party is entitled to make a claim for indemnification against Seller (the “Indemnifying Party”) under this Article IX, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party thereof in writing of the existence of such Third-Party Claim and must deliver copies of any documents served on the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third-Party Claim to the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that any failure to notify the Indemnifying Party or to deliver copies will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure.

(b) Upon receipt of the notice described in Section 9.5(a), the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend the Indemnified Party against the Third-Party Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party so long as (i) within ten days after receipt of such notice, the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing that the Indemnifying Party will, subject to the limitations of this Article IX, indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against any Losses the Indemnified Party may incur relating to or arising out of the Third Party Claim; (ii) the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will have the financial resources to defend against the Third-Party Claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder; (iii) the Indemnifying Party is not a party to the Proceeding or the Indemnified Party has determined in good faith that there would be no conflict of interest or other inappropriate matter associated with joint representation; (iv) the Third-Party Claim does not involve, and is not likely to involve, any claim by any Governmental Body; (v) the Third-Party Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief; (vi) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Third-Party Claim is not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, likely to establish a precedential custom or practice adverse to the continuing business interests of the Indemnified Party; (vii) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third-Party Claim actively and diligently; and (viii) the Indemnifying Party keeps the Indemnified Party apprised of all developments, including settlement offers, with respect to the Third-Party Claim and permits the Indemnified Party to participate in the defense of the Third-Party Claim.

(c) So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of the Third-Party Claim in accordance with Section 9.5(b), (i) the Indemnifying Party shall not be responsible for

35

any attorneys’ fees incurred by the Indemnified Party regarding the Third-Party Claim (other than attorneys’ fees incurred prior to the Indemnifying Party’s assumption of the defense pursuant to Section 9.5(b)); and (ii) neither the Indemnified Party nor the Indemnifying Party shall consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be withheld unreasonably.

(d) If any condition in Section 9.5(b) is or becomes unsatisfied, (i) the Indemnified Party may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to, the Third-Party Claim in any manner it may deem appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith); (ii) the Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Party promptly and periodically (but no less often than monthly) for the costs of defending against the Third-Party Claim, including attorneys’ fees and expenses; and (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall remain responsible for any Losses the Indemnified Party may incur relating to or arising out of the Third-Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in this Article IX.

9.6 Other Indemnification Matters. Any claim for indemnification by the Buyer Indemnified Parties under this Article IX must be asserted by providing written notice to Seller against whom indemnification is sought specifying the factual basis of the claim in reasonable detail to the extent then known by Buyer. Any claim for indemnification by Seller Indemnified Parties under this Article IX must be asserted by providing written notice to Buyer specifying the factual basis of the claim in reasonable detail to the extent then known by Seller. All indemnification payments under this Article IX shall be deemed adjustments to the Purchase Price and shall be allocated in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.3(f); provided that if an amount of such an adjustment cannot be reasonably allocated to a particular asset, such amount shall be allocated to the Goodwill. If any indemnification payment made pursuant to this Article IX is deemed by the Excise Tax Act (Canada) to include goods and services tax or harmonized sales tax, or is deemed by any applicable Canadian provincial or territorial legislation to include a similar value added or multi-staged tax, the amount of such payment shall be increased accordingly. The right to indemnification will not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any Knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the date hereof, with respect to any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or agreement, will not affect the right to indemnification or any equitable remedy based on any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

9.7 Indemnification by Buyer. After the Closing and subject to the terms and conditions of this Article IX, Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, managers, employees, members, directors, partners, shareholders, successors, heirs, assigns and agents (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from, and pay and reimburse Seller Indemnified Parties for, all Losses, directly or indirectly, resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, in connection with or caused by any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by Buyer in this Agreement or any Transaction Document. Except in the case of Fraud, (i) the indemnification obligations of Buyer under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents shall not exceed the Final Purchase Price; and (ii) Buyer shall not be liable to the Seller Indemnified Parties for any Losses until the aggregate amount of all such Losses incurred by the Seller Indemnified Parties exceeds $100,000, whereupon Buyer shall be liable for all such Losses in excess of $100,000.

36

9.8 No Duplication. Any liability for indemnification under this Article IX shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such liability constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement. For and in respect of the same matter or amount there shall be no duplication in recovery.

9.9 Trustee and Agent. Each of Buyer and Seller acknowledges that the other is acting as trustee and agent for the remaining Buyer Indemnified Parties or Seller Indemnified Parties as the case may be, on whose behalf and for whose benefit the indemnity in Section 9.1 or Section 9.7, as the case may be, is provided and that such remaining Buyer Indemnified Parties or Seller Indemnified Parties, as the case may be, shall have the full right and entitlement to take the benefit of and enforce such indemnity notwithstanding that they may not individually be parties to this Agreement. Each of Buyer and Seller agrees that the other may enforce the indemnity for and on behalf of such remaining Buyer Indemnified Parties or Seller Indemnified Parties, as the case may be, and, in such event, the party from whom indemnification is sought will not in any proceeding to enforce the indemnity by or on behalf of such remaining Buyer Indemnified Parties or Seller Indemnified Parties, as the case may be, assert any defence thereto based on the absence of authority or consideration or privity of contract and each of Buyer and Seller irrevocably waives the benefit of any such defence.

ARTICLE X.

MISCELLANEOUS

10.1 Further Assurances. Each Party agrees to furnish upon request to any other Party such further information, to execute and deliver to any other Party such other documents, and to do such other acts and things, all as any other Party may reasonably request for the purpose of carrying out the intent of the Transaction Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, if Seller or Buyer identifies after Closing an asset of Seller related to the Business that should have been delivered to Buyer as a Purchased Asset hereunder but was not (through inadvertence or otherwise), Seller will promptly deliver such asset to Buyer. Additionally, Seller agrees to use best efforts to transfer to Buyer the full benefit of the working relationships with all suppliers and customers of Seller.

37

10.9 Amendments and Waivers. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless the amendment is in writing and signed by Buyer and Seller. No investigations made by or on behalf of Buyer at any time shall have the effect of waiving, diminishing the scope or otherwise affecting any representation or warranty made by Seller or the Principal in or pursuant to this Agreement. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless the waiver is in writing and signed by the waiving Party. The failure of a Party at any time to require performance of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect such Party’s rights at a later time to enforce such provision. No waiver by any Party of any breach of this Agreement shall be deemed to extend to any other breach hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any other breach.

10.10 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof or the invalid or unenforceable provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. Any provision of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree shall remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable.

Any reference in this Agreement to any Article or Section refers to the corresponding Article or Section of this Agreement. Any reference in this Agreement to any Schedule or Exhibit refers to the corresponding Schedule or Exhibit attached to this Agreement and all such Schedules and Exhibits are incorporated herein by reference. The word “including” in this Agreement means “including without limitation”. Unless otherwise specified, all references to “$” or “dollars” shall be deemed reference to be Canadian dollars. This Agreement shall be construed as having been drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favouring or disfavouring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any provision in this Agreement.

PURCHASE PRICE

3.1 Purchase Price. Subject to Section 3.3(e), the purchase price to be paid by Buyer to Seller for the Purchased Assets shall be an aggregate of seventy-two million nine hundred and ninety thousand United States dollars (US$72,990,000) (the “Purchase Price”), plus, if the Closing Working Capital exceeds the Target Working Capital, the amount by which the Closing Working Capital exceeds the Target Working Capital, or less, if the Target Working Capital exceeds the Closing Working Capital, the amount by which the Target Working Capital exceeds the Closing Working Capital, plus applicable GST/HST. The Purchase Price was agreed to by Buyer and Seller based on an 8 times multiple of Adjusted EBITDA.

3.2 Satisfaction of Purchase Price.

(a) Buyer shall satisfy the Purchase Price at the Closing Time as follows:

(i) by payment to the Escrow Agent of the Escrow Amount, pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a single bank account designated by the Escrow Agent; and

(ii) by payment to Seller of US$64,274,400.00, being an amount equal to the Purchase Price less the Escrow Amount, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a single bank account designated by Seller.

(b) Additionally, at the Closing Time, Buyer shall pay to Seller three million nine hundred and twenty-nine thousand and fifty-seven Canadian dollars (C$3,929,057), being an amount equal to the GST/HST payable by Buyer to Seller pursuant to Section 3.5(b), such amount being calculated using the rate of exchange between United States dollars and Canadian dollars quoted by the Bank of Canada at noon on June 20, 2014 (being US$1 = C$1.0766), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a single bank account designated by Seller. Within seven days following the Closing Date, an amount equal to the GST/HST payable by Buyer to Seller pursuant to Section 3.5(b) shall be recalculated using the rate of exchange between United States dollars and Canadian dollars quoted by the Bank of Canada at noon on the Closing Date and the difference, if any, between the amount so recalculated and the amount paid by Buyer to Seller on the Closing Date pursuant to this Section 3.2(b) shall be promptly paid by Buyer to Seller or promptly reimbursed by Seller to Buyer, as the case may be.

3.3 Closing Statement and Final Determination of Purchase Price.

(a) As soon as reasonably practicable but not later than 90 days following the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller the Closing Statement.

3

(b) During the 90 day period following the Closing Date, Seller and its accounting representatives shall be entitled, during ordinary business hours upon reasonable advance notice, to examine the working papers related to the preparation of the Closing Statement and the Books and Records and to discuss the preparation of the Closing Statement with Buyer.

(c) Seller may dispute any amounts reflected on the Closing Statement (the “Disputed Amounts”), but only if (i) the basis of its dispute is that the amounts reflected on the Closing Statement were not arrived at in accordance with this Agreement, or resulted from a mistake of fact, and (ii) Seller shall have notified Buyer in writing of each disputed item (the “Notice of Objection”), specifying the amount thereof in dispute and setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for such dispute, within 30 days after the date Buyer delivered the Closing Statement to Seller. To the extent Seller does not dispute an amount reflected on the Closing Statement in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, such amount shall be deemed final and binding on the Parties for all purposes hereunder. In the event of such a dispute, Seller and Buyer shall attempt to reconcile their differences. If Seller and Buyer are unable to reach a resolution with such effect within 30 days after receipt by Buyer of the Notice of Objection, Seller and Buyer shall submit the items remaining in dispute for resolution to KPMG LLP (or, if such firm declines to act, to another nationally recognized independent public accounting firm mutually acceptable to Buyer and Seller) (the “Resolution Accountants”), which shall be instructed to use its best efforts to render a decision as to all items in dispute within 30 days after such submission. The Resolution Accountants shall only resolve the Disputed Amounts by choosing the amounts submitted by either Buyer or Seller or amounts in between. Buyer and Seller shall each furnish to the Resolution Accountants such working papers and other documents and information relating to the Disputed Amounts as the Resolution Accountants may request. The resolution of the Disputed Amounts by the Resolution Accountants shall be final and binding on the Parties for all purposes hereunder, and the determination of the Resolution Accountants shall constitute an arbitral award that is final, binding and unappealable and upon which a judgment may be entered by a court having jurisdiction. After final determination of the Closing Working Capital, Seller shall have no further right to make any claims in respect of any element of the foregoing amounts that Seller raised in the Notice of Objection. The fees and disbursements of the Resolution Accountants shall be allocated between Buyer and Seller in the same proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of unsuccessfully Disputed Amounts submitted by Buyer or Seller (as finally determined by the Resolution Accountants) bears to the total dollar amount of disputed items so submitted.

(d) The Closing Statement shall be deemed final for all purposes hereunder upon the earlier of (i) the absence of Seller delivering a Notice of Objection to Buyer within 30 days after the date Buyer delivered the Closing Statement to Seller, and (ii) the resolution of all Disputed Amounts pursuant to Section 3.3(c). The date on which the Closing Statement is finally determined in accordance with this Section 3.3(d) is hereinafter referred as to the “Determination Date”.

(e) Within three Business Days after the Determination Date:

(i) Buyer shall provide to Seller a calculation of the final purchase price (the “Final Purchase Price”) using the calculation set forth in Section 3.1;

(ii) if the Final Purchase Price (as so determined) is greater than the Purchase Price, Buyer shall pay to Seller the aggregate amount of the difference thereof, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account designated in writing by Seller; or

4

(iii) if the Purchase Price is greater than the Final Purchase Price (as so determined), Seller shall promptly pay to Buyer the aggregate amount of the difference thereof, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank designated in writing by Buyer, which obligation shall be a joint and several obligation of Seller and the Principals (or at Buyer’s election, Buyer may withdraw such amount from the Escrow Funds pertaining to the Indemnity Escrow Amount).

(f) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date and in any event not later than 90 days thereafter, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller a draft allocation of the Purchase Price among the Purchased Assets in accordance with fair market values, consistent with the principles set forth in Schedule 3.3(f) (the “Allocation Statement”). In the event that Seller does not object to the draft allocation proposed by Buyer within 30 days after the delivery of the Allocation Statement, Buyer and Seller shall use the Allocation Statement prepared and delivered by Buyer. In the event that Seller objects in good faith to the allocation proposed by Buyer, Seller shall so advise Buyer by delivery to Buyer of a notice (the “Objection Notice”) within 30 days after the delivery to Seller of the Allocation Statement. The Objection Notice shall set out an alternative allocation proposed by Seller. Seller and Buyer shall endeavour in good faith to resolve any disagreement within the later of: (i) 30 days of the delivery of the Objection Notice; and (ii) 30 days after the delivery of the Closing Statement. If Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve their disagreements within such time, each of Buyer and Seller shall use its own allocation. Except as may be required by Law, Buyer and Seller agree to report the allocation of the Purchase Price among the Purchased Assets in the preparation and filing of all Tax Returns in accordance with this Section 3.3(f).

(g) The amount of any payment pursuant to Section 3.3(e) shall be deemed an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all purposes hereunder, including for purposes of the final consideration payable hereunder, and shall be allocated in accordance with Section 3.3(f).

(h) The final determination of the Final Purchase Price pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.3 shall be conclusive for purposes of the operation of the provisions hereof, but neither the provisions hereof nor the resolution of the final determination of the Final Purchase Price pursuant hereto shall affect any rights of Buyer or Seller to indemnification to the extent provided for under, and subject to the limitations contained in, Article VIII, or preclude the Parties from treating any indemnification payments received by Buyer or Seller as adjustments to the Final Purchase Price for Tax, accounting or other purposes.

3.4 Escrow Agreement.

(b) The Parties agree that the KDW Escrow Amount shall be held by the Escrow Agent on behalf of Seller and shall be released to: (i) Seller, as soon as practicable following completion of the KDW Wind-up, provided that the KDW Wind-Up is completed on or prior to September 30, 2014; or (ii) Buyer, as soon as practicable following September 30, 2014, if the

Seller shall include all such interest and investment income in computing its income for Tax purposes.

(c) The Parties agree that: (i) 50% of the Indemnity Escrow Amount shall be released to Seller on the Tranche 1 Release Date; and 50% of the Indemnity Escrow Amount shall be released to Seller on the Tranche 2 Release Date, in each case, in accordance with this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement; provided, that if there are any indemnification claims hereunder for Losses of the Buyer Indemnified Parties that are properly pending on either of the Tranche 1 Release Date or the Tranche 2 Release Date, as applicable, an amount equal to the amount of all such claims shall be withheld from the amount otherwise distributable on such date and shall be retained as Escrow Funds pertaining to the Indemnity Escrow Amount and shall not be released until such claims are finally resolved and satisfied or are otherwise released pursuant to a joint direction of Buyer and Seller. All fees and charges of the Escrow Agent and otherwise incurred under the Escrow Agreement shall be borne equally by Buyer and Seller. Buyer shall be entitled to offset against and collect from the Escrow Funds any amounts due and owing to Buyer, but unpaid, by Seller pursuant to Section 3.3(e), this Section 3.4, Section 7.8, Section 7.10(b) or Article VIII; provided, that such offset shall not relieve Seller from any obligation due under any of the foregoing Sections or Articles. Interest and investment returns (net of investment losses) accruing on the Indemnity Escrow Amount shall accrue to the benefit of Seller and shall be paid to Seller annually on the anniversary date of the Closing. Seller shall include all such interest and investment income in computing its income for Tax purposes.

(d) The Escrow Funds shall be held in escrow and shall not be subject to any Encumbrance, and shall be held and disbursed solely for the purposes and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. Upon the final release of all of the Escrow Funds, the Escrow Agreement shall terminate.

After the Closing and subject to the terms and conditions of this Article VIII, Seller and each Principal shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, managers, employees, members, directors, partners, shareholders, successors, heirs, assigns and agents (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from, and pay and reimburse the Buyer Indemnified Parties for, all Losses, directly or indirectly, resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, in connection with or caused by:

(a) any non-fulfilment or breach of any covenant or agreement on the part of Seller or any of the Principals contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or other document furnished by or on behalf of Seller or any of the Principals pursuant to this Agreement;

(b) any misrepresentation or any incorrectness in or breach of any representation or warranty of Seller or any of the Principals contained in this Agreement;

24

(c) any claim by any Person claiming through or on behalf of Seller or any of the Principals arising out of or relating to any act or omission by Buyer or any other Person in reliance upon instructions from or notices given by Seller or any of the Principals;

(d) any Liabilities of Seller; and

(e) the failure to obtain any necessary Consents for any Restricted Rights referred to in Section 2.4, including any Losses relating to any resultant termination of any such Restricted Rights or any increase of obligations or decrease of rights or entitlements of Buyer.

For purposes of this Article VIII, in determining whether Seller or any of the Principals have breached any representation or warranty made by Seller or such Principal in this Agreement, the terms “material”, “materially”, “in all material respects”, “Material Adverse Effect”, dollar thresholds and similar qualifications shall be disregarded and given no effect.

8.2 Limitation on Liability. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any Transaction Document:

(a) Except in the case of Fraud, the provisions of this Article VIII shall constitute the sole remedy to the Buyer Indemnified Parties against Seller and the Principals with respect to any and all breaches of any agreement, covenant, representation or warranty made by Seller or any of the Principals in this Agreement or in any Transaction Document, other than any remedy based on equitable principles, including injunctive relief or specific performance, which shall not be limited by this Section 8.2.

(b) For the purposes of calculating Losses of the Buyer Indemnified Parties, the principle to be applied is that the Buyer Indemnified Parties are to be made whole and to be placed in the same position as it would have been in if the act, omission or state of affairs giving rise to the Loss indemnified against had not arisen, and by way of example, to the extent that any Loss indemnified against hereunder (or the event giving rise to the same): (i) creates, gives rise to or otherwise has the result of conferring upon a Buyer Indemnified Party, any tax deduction, tax credit or tax relief (but only to the extent that any such tax deduction, tax credit or tax relief has, prior to the receipt of the applicable indemnification payment, resulted in a direct reduction of the Taxes payable by a Buyer Indemnified Party or will result in a direct reduction of the Taxes payable by a Buyer Indemnified Party in the taxation year in which the applicable indemnification payment is received by a Buyer Indemnified Party) or (ii) results in any recovery pursuant to any insurance coverage, the same shall be taken into account in the calculation of the Loss of the Buyer Indemnified Parties. Similarly, if the receipt of an indemnification payment by a Buyer Indemnified Party will result in an increase in the Taxes payable by a Buyer Indemnified Party and/or a decrease in the Tax attributes of a Buyer Indemnified Party (over and above what the position of the Buyer Indemnified Party would have been if the act, omission or state of affairs giving rise to the Loss indemnified against had not arisen), the amount of such indemnification payment shall be increased so that the amount of the indemnification payment received by the Buyer Indemnified Parties, after deducting the amount of such increase in Taxes payable and/or decrease in Tax attributes, is equal to the amount they would have received if there had been no such increase in Taxes payable and/or decrease in Tax attributes as a result of the receipt of such indemnification payment. For clarity, if any amount in respect of an inaccuracy in any of the representations and warranties made by Seller or breach of any covenants of Seller was reflected in the Closing Working Capital (excluding any reserve for

25

deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income), then such inaccuracy or breach shall not give rise to an indemnification obligation under this Article VIII to the extent of the amount so reflected in the Closing Statement.

(c) Other than Losses arising from Fraud or inaccuracy or breach of a Fundamental Representation, Seller and the Principals shall not be liable to the Buyer Indemnified Parties for any Losses until the aggregate amount of all such Losses incurred by the Buyer Indemnified Parties exceeds $100,000, whereupon Seller and the Principals shall be liable for all such Losses in excess of $100,000.

(d) Except in the case of Fraud or inaccuracy or breach of a Fundamental Representation, the indemnification obligations of Seller and the Principals under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents shall not exceed the Final Purchase Price.

8.3 Survival and Time Limitations.

(a) All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Seller and the Principals in this Agreement, any Transaction Document and any other certificate or document delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing. Except in the case of Fraud, Seller and the Principals shall not have any Liability with respect to any claim for any breach or inaccuracy of any representation that is not a Fundamental Representation or any breach of a covenant or agreement in this Agreement to be performed and complied with as of the Closing Date (but not including any agreement or covenant to be performed or complied with at or after the Closing) unless Buyer notifies Seller of such a claim on or before the date that is two years after the Closing Date. Seller and the Principals shall not have any Liability with respect to any claim for any breach or inaccuracy of any Tax Representation unless Buyer notifies Seller of such a claim on or before the date that is 90 days after the expiration of the applicable statute or period of limitations (including any extension of such statute or period of limitations). Any claim for any breach or inaccuracy of a Title Representation or breach of an agreement or covenant to be performed or complied with at or after the Closing may be made at any time before the last day of the ultimate limitation period permitted by applicable Law. No party shall have any liability or obligation of any nature with respect to any representation, warranty, agreement or covenant after the termination thereof, except with respect to a claim for indemnification under this Article VIII if written notice thereof has been given in accordance with the provisions hereof by Buyer to Seller prior to the end of the applicable survival period set forth in this Section 8.3(a). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if such written notice has been given in accordance with the provisions hereof and prior to the termination of the applicable representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, then the relevant representations, warranties, covenants and agreements shall survive as to such claim until the claim has been finally resolved.

(b) All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Buyer in this Agreement, any Transaction Document and any other certificate or document delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing. Except in the case of Fraud, Buyer shall not have any Liability with respect to any claim for any breach or inaccuracy of any representation and warranty of Buyer or any breach of a covenant or agreement in this Agreement to be performed and complied with as of the Closing Date (but not including any agreement or covenant to be performed or complied with at or after the Closing) unless Seller notifies Buyer of such a claim on or before the date that is two years after the Closing Date. Any claim for any breach of an

26

agreement or covenant to be performed or complied with at or after the Closing may be made at any time before the last day of the ultimate limitation period permitted by applicable Law. No party shall have any liability or obligation of any nature with respect to any representation, warranty, agreement or covenant after the termination thereof, except with respect to a claim for indemnification under this Article VIII if written notice thereof has been given in accordance with the provisions hereof by Seller to Buyer prior to the end of the applicable survival period set forth in this Section 8.3(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if such written notice has been given in accordance with the provisions hereof and prior to the termination of the applicable representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, then the relevant representations, warranties, covenants and agreements shall survive as to such claim until the claim has been finally resolved.

8.4 Manner of Payment.

(a) Buyer may set off all or any portion of any amount to which any Buyer Indemnified Party may be entitled under this Article VIII against any amount otherwise payable by Buyer or any of its Affiliates to Seller. The exercise of such set-off right in good faith shall not constitute a breach or event of default under this Agreement or any Contract relating to any amount against which the set-off is applied. In addition to, and not in limitation of Buyer’s right of set-off under this Section 8.4, Buyer may elect in its sole discretion to recover all or any portion of any amount to which any Buyer Indemnified Party may be entitled under this Article VIII from the Escrow Funds pertaining to the Indemnity Escrow Amount until such funds are exhausted and then may, subject to the other limitations contained in this Article VIII, recover any additional amount to which any Buyer Indemnified Party is entitled under this Article VIII directly from Seller and/or the Principals.

(b) Buyer and Seller hereby agree to provide joint instructions to the Escrow Agent on a timely basis so that distributions from the Escrow Funds pertaining to the Indemnity Escrow Amount can be made by the Escrow Agent to the applicable Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party in accordance with this Section 8.4 unless the entitlement of the Buyer Indemnified Parties or Seller Indemnified Parties, as applicable, in respect of such Loss is in dispute.

8.5 Third-Party Claims.

(a) If a third party commences or threatens a Proceeding (a “Third-Party Claim”) against any Buyer Indemnified Party or any Seller Indemnified Party (as that term is defined in Section 8.7 herein), as the case may be, (the “Indemnified Party”) with respect to any matter that the Indemnified Party is entitled to make a claim for indemnification against Seller or Buyer, as the case may be (the “Indemnifying Party”) under this Article VIII, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party thereof in writing of the existence of such Third-Party Claim and must deliver copies of any documents served on the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third-Party Claim to the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that any inadvertent failure to notify the Indemnifying Party or to deliver copies will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure.

(b) Upon receipt of the notice described in Section 8.5(a), the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend the Indemnified Party against the Third-Party Claim with counsel

27

reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party so long as (i) within ten days after receipt of such notice, the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing that the Indemnifying Party will, subject to the limitations of this Article VIII, indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against any Losses the Indemnified Party may incur relating to or arising out of the Third Party Claim; (ii) the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will have the financial resources to defend against the Third-Party Claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder; (iii) the Indemnifying Party is not a party to the Proceeding or the Indemnified Party has determined in good faith that there would be no conflict of interest or other inappropriate matter associated with joint representation; (iv) the Third-Party Claim does not involve, and is not likely to involve, any claim by any Governmental Body; (v) the Third-Party Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief; (vi) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Third-Party Claim is not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, likely to establish a precedential custom or practice adverse to the continuing business interests of the Indemnified Party; (vii) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third-Party Claim actively and diligently; and (viii) the Indemnifying Party keeps the Indemnified Party apprised of all developments, including settlement offers, with respect to the Third-Party Claim and permits the Indemnified Party to participate in the defense of the Third-Party Claim.

(c) So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of the Third-Party Claim in accordance with Section 8.5(b), (i) the Indemnifying Party shall not be responsible for any attorneys’ fees incurred by the Indemnified Party regarding the Third-Party Claim (other than attorneys’ fees incurred prior to the Indemnifying Party’s assumption of the defense pursuant to Section 8.5(b)); and (ii) neither the Indemnified Party nor the Indemnifying Party shall consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be withheld unreasonably.

(d) If any condition in Section 8.5(b) is or becomes unsatisfied, (i) the Indemnified Party may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to, the Third-Party Claim in any manner it may deem appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith); (ii) the Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Party promptly and periodically (but no less often than monthly) for the costs of defending against the Third-Party Claim, including attorneys’ fees and expenses; and (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall remain responsible for any Losses the Indemnified Party may incur relating to or arising out of the Third-Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in this Article VIII.

8.6 Other Indemnification Matters. Any claim for indemnification by the Buyer Indemnified Parties under this Article VIII must be asserted by providing written notice to Seller against whom indemnification is sought specifying the factual basis of the claim in reasonable detail to the extent then known by Buyer. Any claim for indemnification by Seller Indemnified Parties under this Article VIII must be asserted by providing written notice to Buyer specifying the factual basis of the claim in reasonable detail to the extent then known by Seller. All indemnification payments under this Article VIII shall be deemed adjustments to the Purchase Price and shall be allocated in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.3(f); provided that if an amount of such an adjustment cannot be reasonably allocated to a particular asset, such

28

amount shall be allocated to the Goodwill. If any indemnification payment made pursuant to this Article VIII is deemed by the Excise Tax Act (Canada) to include GST/HST, or is deemed by any applicable Canadian provincial or territorial legislation to include a similar value added or multi staged tax, the amount of such payment shall be increased accordingly. The right to indemnification will not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any Knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the date hereof, with respect to any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or agreement, will not affect the right to indemnification or any equitable remedy based on any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

8.7 Indemnification by Buyer. After the Closing and subject to the terms and conditions of this Article VIII, Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, managers, employees, members, directors, partners, shareholders, successors, heirs, assigns and agents (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from, and pay and reimburse Seller Indemnified Parties for, all Losses, directly or indirectly, resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, in connection with or caused by:

(a) any non-fulfilment or breach of any covenant or agreement on the part of Buyer contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or other document furnished by or on behalf of Buyer pursuant to this Agreement;

(b) any misrepresentation or any incorrectness in or breach of any representation or warranty of Buyer contained in this Agreement; and

(c) any claim by any Person claiming through or on behalf of Buyer arising out of or relating to any act or omission by Seller or any of the Principals or other Person in reliance upon instructions from or notices given by Buyer.

For purposes of this Article VIII, in determining whether Buyer has breached any representation or warranty made by Buyer in this Agreement, the terms “material”, “materially”, “in all material respects”, “material adverse effect”, dollar thresholds and similar qualifications shall be disregarded and given no effect.

8.8 Limitation on Liability. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any Transaction Document:

(a) except in the case of Fraud, the provisions of this Article VIII shall constitute the sole remedy to the Seller Indemnified Parties against Buyer with respect to any and all breaches of any agreement, covenant, representation or warranty made by Buyer in this Agreement or in any Transaction Document, other than any remedy based on equitable principles, including injunctive relief or specific performance, which shall not be limited by this Section 8.8.

(b) for the purposes of calculating Losses of the Seller Indemnified Parties, the principle to be applied is that the Seller Indemnified Parties are to be made whole and to be placed in the same position as they would have been in if the act, omission or state of affairs giving rise to the Loss indemnified against had not arisen.

29

(c) other than Losses arising from Fraud, or inaccuracy or breach of a Fundamental Representation, Buyer shall not be liable to the Seller Indemnified Parties for any Losses until the aggregate amount of all such Losses incurred by the Seller Indemnified Parties exceeds $100,000, whereupon Buyer shall be liable for all such Losses in excess of $100,000.

(d) except in the case of Fraud or inaccuracy or breach of a Fundamental Representation, the indemnification obligations of Buyer under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents shall not exceed the Final Purchase Price.

8.9 No Duplication. Any liability for indemnification under this Article VIII shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such liability constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement. For and in respect of the same matter or amount there shall be no duplication in recovery.

8.10 Trustee and Agent. Each of Buyer and Seller acknowledges that the other is acting as trustee and agent for the remaining Buyer Indemnified Parties or Seller Indemnified Parties as the case may be, on whose behalf and for whose benefit the indemnity in Section 8.1 or Section 8.7, as the case may be, is provided and that such remaining Buyer Indemnified Parties or Seller Indemnified Parties, as the case may be, shall have the full right and entitlement to take the benefit of and enforce such indemnity notwithstanding that they may not individually be parties to this Agreement. Each of Buyer and Seller agrees that the other may enforce the indemnity for and on behalf of such remaining Buyer Indemnified Parties or Seller Indemnified Parties, as the case may be, and, in such event, the party from whom indemnification is sought will not in any proceeding to enforce the indemnity by or on behalf of such remaining Buyer Indemnified Parties or Seller Indemnified Parties, as the case may be, assert any defence thereto based on the absence of authority or consideration or privity of contract and each of Buyer and Seller irrevocably waives the benefit of any such defence.

ARTICLE IX.

MISCELLANEOUS

9.1 Further Assurances. Each Party agrees to furnish upon request to any other Party such further information, to execute and deliver to any other Party such other documents, and to do such other acts and things, all as any other Party may reasonably request for the purpose of carrying out the intent of the Transaction Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, if Seller or Buyer identifies after Closing an asset of Seller related to the Business that should have been delivered to Buyer as a Purchased Asset hereunder but was not (through inadvertence or otherwise), Seller will promptly deliver such asset to Buyer. Additionally, Seller agrees to use best efforts to transfer to Buyer the full benefit of the working relationships with all suppliers and customers of the Business.

9.2 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement does not confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the Parties, their respective successors and permitted assigns and, as expressly set forth in this Agreement, any Indemnified Party.

32

diminishing the scope or otherwise affecting any representation or warranty made by Seller or any of the Principals in or pursuant to this Agreement. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless the waiver is in writing and signed by the waiving Party. The failure of a Party at any time to require performance of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect such Party’s rights at a later time to enforce such provision. No waiver by any Party of any breach of this Agreement shall be deemed to extend to any other breach hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any other breach.

9.10 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof or the invalid or unenforceable provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction.

9.11 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Party shall pay all costs and expenses (including the fees and disbursements of legal counsel and other advisors) it incurs in connection with the negotiation, preparation and execution of this Agreement and the Transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall reimburse Seller for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with the preparation of the Audited Financial Statements.

9.12 Construction. The Article and Section headings in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and are not intended to affect the interpretation of this Agreement. Any reference in this Agreement to any Article or Section refers to the corresponding Article or Section of this Agreement. Any reference in this Agreement to any Schedule or Exhibit refers to the corresponding Schedule or Exhibit attached to this Agreement and all such Schedules and Exhibits are incorporated herein by reference. The word “including” in this Agreement means “including without limitation”. Unless otherwise specified, all references to “$” or “dollars” shall be deemed reference to be Canadian dollars. This Agreement shall be construed as having been drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favouring or disfavouring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any provision in this Agreement. Unless the context requires otherwise, any reference to any Law shall be deemed also to refer to all amendments and successor provisions thereto and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, in each case as in effect as of the date hereof and the Closing Date. All accounting terms not specifically defined in this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with GAAP as in effect on the date hereof (unless another date is specified herein). The word “or” in this Agreement is disjunctive but not necessarily exclusive. All words in this Agreement shall be construed to be of such gender or number as the circumstances require. References in this Agreement to time periods in terms of a certain number of days mean calendar days unless expressly stated herein to be Business Days. In interpreting and enforcing this Agreement, each representation and warranty shall be given independent significance of fact and will not be deemed superseded or modified by any other such representation or warranty.

9.13 Schedules. Nothing in the schedules attached hereto shall be deemed adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made herein, unless such schedule identifies the exception with reasonable particularity and describes the relevant facts in detail. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the mere listing (or inclusion of a copy) of a document or other item shall not be deemed adequate to disclose an exception to a representation

33

or warranty made herein (unless the representation or warranty pertains to the existence of the document or other item itself). The schedules hereto will be arranged in sections and subsections corresponding to the numbered and lettered sections and subsections contained in this Agreement. To the extent that it is reasonably apparent on the face of the schedule that an exception disclosed in a schedule relating to a particular section or subsection of this Agreement also applies to one or more additional sections or subsections of this Agreement, such exception shall be deemed to apply to such additional sections or subsections so identified.

9.14 Currency. Payments made between Buyer and Seller pursuant to Section 3.1 and Section 3.3(e) hereof on account of price and price adjustments shall be made in United States Dollars. All other payments between the Parties, including claims for indemnity (excepting indemnities for Losses which by their nature are necessarily calculated in United States dollars) shall be made in Canadian dollars. Seller and Buyer, at their joint direction may require conversion of all of the Escrow Funds into Canadian dollars at any time following their receipt and shall instruct the Escrow Agent accordingly. In the calculation of any amounts required to be included in the price adjustments to be made by the Parties under Section 3.3(e), any required conversion from Canadian dollars to United States dollars shall be at US$1 = C$1.0766.

9.15 Independent Legal Advice. Each Principal acknowledges that he, she or it has been advised to obtain, and that he, she or it has obtained or has been afforded the opportunity to obtain, independent legal advice with respect to the Transaction Documents and understands the nature and consequences of the Transaction Documents, including any Tax consequences.

(b) by payment to the Escrow Agent of the Escrow Amount, pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a single bank account designated by the Escrow Agent; and

(c) by payment to Seller of US$18,603,900, being an amount equal to the Purchase Price less (i) the amount of the Assumed Liabilities; and (ii) the Escrow Amount, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a single bank account designated by Seller.

3.3 Closing Statement and Final Determination of Purchase Price.

(a) As soon as reasonably practicable but not later than 90 days following the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller a statement consisting of the following as of immediately prior to the Closing Time, calculated on a basis consistent with the Seller’s past practice (and for certainty, with respect to Working Capital, calculated in accordance with the definition thereof): (i) the unaudited balance sheet of the Seller (the “Closing Balance Sheet”) and (ii) the Working Capital (the “Closing Working Capital”) (collectively, the “Closing Statement”).

3

(b) During the 90 day period following the Closing Date, Seller and its accounting representatives shall be entitled, during ordinary business hours upon reasonable advance notice, to examine the working papers related to the preparation of the Closing Statement and the Books and Records and to discuss the preparation of the Closing Statement with Buyer.

(c) Seller may dispute any amounts reflected on the Closing Statement (the “Disputed Amounts”), but only if (i) the basis of its dispute is that the amounts reflected on the Closing Statement were not arrived at in accordance with this Agreement, or resulted from a mistake of fact, and (ii) Seller shall have notified Buyer in writing of each disputed item (the “Notice of Objection”), specifying the amount thereof in dispute and setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for such dispute, within 30 days after the date Buyer delivered the Closing Statement to Seller. To the extent Seller does not dispute an amount reflected on the Closing Statement in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, such amount shall be deemed final and binding on the Parties for all purposes hereunder. In the event of such a dispute, Seller and Buyer shall attempt to reconcile their differences. If Seller and Buyer are unable to reach a resolution with such effect within 30 days after receipt by Buyer of the Notice of Objection, Seller and Buyer shall submit the items remaining in dispute for resolution to KPMG LLP (or, if such firm declines to act, to another nationally recognized independent public accounting firm mutually acceptable to Buyer and Seller) (the “Resolution Accountants”), which shall be instructed to use its best efforts to render a decision as to all items in dispute within 30 days after such submission. The Resolution Accountants shall only resolve the Disputed Amounts by choosing the amounts submitted by either Buyer or Seller or amounts in between. Buyer and Seller shall each furnish to the Resolution Accountants such working papers and other documents and information relating to the Disputed Amounts as the Resolution Accountants may request. The resolution of the Disputed Amounts by the Resolution Accountants shall be final and binding on the Parties for all purposes hereunder, and the determination of the Resolution Accountants shall constitute an arbitral award that is final, binding and unappealable and upon which a judgment may be entered by a court having jurisdiction. After final determination of the Closing Working Capital, Seller shall have no further right to make any claims in respect of any element of the foregoing amounts that Seller raised in the Notice of Objection. The fees and disbursements of the Resolution Accountants shall be allocated between Buyer and Seller in the same proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of unsuccessfully Disputed Amounts submitted by Buyer or Seller (as finally determined by the Resolution Accountants) bears to the total dollar amount of disputed items so submitted.

(d) The Closing Statement shall be deemed final for all purposes hereunder upon the earlier of (i) the absence of Seller delivering a Notice of Objection to Buyer within 30 days after the date Buyer delivered the Closing Statement to Seller, and (ii) the resolution of all Disputed Amounts pursuant to Section 3.3(c). The date on which the Closing Statement is finally determined in accordance with this Section 3.3(d) is hereinafter referred as to the “Determination Date”.

(e) Within three Business Days after the Determination Date:

(i) Buyer shall provide to Seller a calculation of the final Purchase Price (the “Final Purchase Price”) using the calculation set forth in Section 3.1;

(ii) if the Final Purchase Price (as so determined) is greater than the Purchase Price, Buyer shall pay to Seller the aggregate amount of the difference thereof, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account designated in writing by Seller; or

(iii) if the Purchase Price is greater than the Final Purchase Price (as so determined), Seller shall promptly pay to Buyer the aggregate amount of the difference thereof, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account designated in writing by Buyer, which obligation shall be a joint and several obligation of Seller and the Principals (or at Buyer’s election, Buyer may withdraw such amount from the Escrow Funds).

4

(f) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date and in any event not later than 90 days thereafter, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller a draft allocation of the Purchase Price among the Purchased Assets in accordance with fair market values, consistent with the principles set forth in Schedule 3.3(f) (the “Allocation Statement”). In the event that Seller does not object to the draft allocation proposed by Buyer within 30 days after the delivery of the Allocation Statement, Buyer and Seller shall use the Allocation Statement prepared and delivered by Buyer. In the event that Seller objects in good faith to the allocation proposed by Buyer, Seller shall so advise Buyer by delivery to Buyer of a notice (the “Objection Notice”) within 30 days after the delivery to Seller of the Allocation Statement. The Objection Notice shall set out an alternative allocation proposed by Seller. Seller and Buyer shall endeavour in good faith to resolve any disagreement within the later of: (i) 30 days of the delivery of the Objection Notice; and (ii) 30 days after the delivery of the Closing Statement. If Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve their disagreements within such time, each of Buyer and Seller shall use its own allocation. Except as may be required by Law, Buyer and Seller agree to report the allocation of the Purchase Price among the Purchased Assets in the preparation and filing of all Tax Returns in accordance with this Section 3.3(f).

(g) The amount of any payment pursuant to Section 3.3(e) shall be deemed an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all purposes hereunder, including for purposes of the final consideration payable hereunder, and shall be allocated in accordance with Section 3.3(f).

(h) The final determination of the Final Purchase Price pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.3 shall be conclusive for purposes of the operation of the provisions hereof, but neither the provisions hereof nor the resolution of the final determination of the Final Purchase Price pursuant hereto shall affect any rights of Buyer to indemnification to the extent provided for under, and subject to the limitations contained in, Article VIII, or preclude the Parties from treating any indemnification payments received by Buyer or Seller as adjustments to the Final Purchase Price for Tax, accounting or other purposes.

3.4 Escrow Agreement.

(a) At Closing, Buyer, Seller and the Escrow Agent shall enter into the Escrow Agreement in order to establish terms and conditions regarding the treatment of the Escrow Funds.

(b) The Parties agree that: (i) 50% of the Escrow Amount shall be released to Seller on the Tranche 1 Release Date; and (ii) 50% of the Escrow Amount shall be released to Seller on the Tranche 2 Release Date, in each case, in accordance with this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement; provided, that if there are any indemnification claims hereunder for Losses of the

5

Buyer Indemnified Parties that are properly pending on either of the Tranche 1 Release Date or the Tranche 2 Release Date, as applicable, an amount equal to the amount of all such claims shall be withheld from the amount otherwise distributable on such date and shall be retained as Escrow Funds and shall not be released until such claims are finally resolved and satisfied or are otherwise released pursuant to a joint direction of Buyer and Seller. All fees and charges of the Escrow Agent and otherwise incurred under the Escrow Agreement shall be borne equally by Buyer and Seller. Buyer shall be entitled to offset against and collect from the Escrow Funds any amounts due and owing to Buyer, but unpaid, by Seller pursuant to Section 3.3(e), this Section 3.4, Section 7.11 or Article VIII; provided, that such offset shall not relieve Seller from any obligation due under any of the foregoing Sections or Articles. Interest and investment returns (net of investment losses) accruing on the Escrow Amount shall accrue to the benefit of Seller and shall be paid to Seller annually on the anniversary date of the Closing. Seller shall include all such interest and investment income in computing its income for Tax purposes.

(c) The Escrow Funds shall be held in escrow and shall not be subject to any Encumbrance, and shall be held and disbursed solely for the purposes and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. Upon the final release of all of the Escrow Funds, the Escrow Agreement shall terminate.

3.5 GST, Sales and Transfer Taxes.

(a) In respect of the purchase and sale of the Purchased Assets under this Agreement, each Party shall pay directly to the appropriate Governmental Body all sales and transfer Taxes, registration charges and transfer fees payable by it (other than Taxes in respect of which election(s) shall be made in accordance with Section 3.5(b)), and, upon the reasonable request of a Party, the requested Party shall furnish proof of such payment.

(b) To the extent permitted under subsection 167(1) of Part IX of the Excise Tax Act (Canada) and any equivalent or corresponding provision under any applicable provincial or territorial legislation imposing a similar value added or multi-staged tax, Buyer and Seller shall jointly elect that no tax be payable with respect to the purchase and sale of the Purchased Assets under this Agreement.

7.1 Litigation Support. If any Party is evaluating, pursuing, contesting or defending against any Proceeding in connection with (a) the Transactions; or (b) any fact, situation, circumstance, status, condition, activity, practice, plan, occurrence, event, incident, action, failure to act, or transaction occurring on or prior to the Closing Date and involving the Business, upon the request of such Party each of such other Parties shall reasonably cooperate with the requesting Party and its counsel (at the expense of the requesting Party) in the evaluation, pursuit, contest or defense of such Proceeding, make reasonably available its personnel, books and records to the requesting Party during normal business hours upon reasonable advance notice, as may be necessary in connection therewith. The requesting Party shall reimburse each of such other Parties for their out-of-pocket expenses related to such cooperation (unless the requesting Party is entitled to indemnification under Article VIII).

7.2 Transition. Seller and the Principals shall not, and shall cause their Affiliates and Representatives not to, take any action that is designed or intended to have the effect of discouraging any lessor, lessee, Employee, Governmental Body, licensor, licensee, customer, supplier or other business associate of Seller from maintaining the same relationships with Buyer after the Closing as it maintained with Seller prior to the Closing. Seller and the Principals shall refer all inquiries relating to the Business to Buyer from and after the Closing.

26

7.3 Consents. To the extent that any Consent set forth on Schedule 4.6(b) is not obtained on or before Closing, Seller shall solicit such Consent, subject to Buyer’s prior approval of the form and substance of such Consent. Seller shall use its best efforts (at Seller’s expense), and Buyer shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with Seller, to obtain all such Consents; provided, however, that such cooperation shall not include any requirement for Buyer to pay any consideration, to agree to any undertaking or modification to a Contract or Permit or to offer or grant any financial accommodation not required by the terms of such Contract or Permit.

7.4 Actions to Satisfy Closing Covenants. Each Party shall take all such actions as are within its power to control, and use reasonable commercial efforts to cause other actions to be taken which are not within its power to control so as to ensure compliance with each of the covenants set forth in this Article VII which are for the benefit of the other Parties, provided that Buyer shall not be required to dispose of or make any change to its business or the business of any of its Affiliates or expend any material amounts or incur any other obligation in order to comply with this Section 7.4.

7.5 Assumption of Obligations. At the Closing Time and conditional upon Closing, Buyer agrees to pay and be responsible for the Liabilities of Seller under the Contracts to the extent such Liabilities: (i) are not Non-Operating Related Party Assets and Liabilities; and (ii) arise out of events or circumstances that occur after the Closing Time or are to be performed after the Closing Time.

7.6 Confidentiality, Press Releases and Public Announcements.

(a) Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives to, maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information at all times, and shall not, directly or indirectly, use any Confidential Information for its own benefit or for the benefit of any other Person or reveal or disclose any Confidential Information to any Person other than authorized Representatives of Buyer, except in connection with this Agreement or with the prior written consent of Buyer. The covenants in this Section 7.6 shall not apply to Confidential Information that: (i) is or becomes available to the general public through no breach of this Agreement by Seller or any of its Affiliates or Representatives or, to their Knowledge, breach by any other Person of a duty of confidentiality to Buyer; or (ii) Seller is required to disclose by applicable Law; provided, however, that Seller shall notify Buyer in writing of such required disclosure as much in advance as practicable in the circumstances and cooperate with Buyer to limit the scope of such disclosure. At any time that Buyer may request, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives to, turn over or return to Buyer all Confidential Information in any form (including all copies and reproductions thereof) in their possession or control.

(b) No Party shall issue any press release or make any public announcement relating to the subject matter of this Agreement without the prior written approval of Buyer and Seller; provided, however, that any Party may make any public disclosure it believes in good faith is required by applicable Law or any listing or trading agreement concerning its publicly-traded securities (in which case such Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to advise the other Party prior to making such disclosure). Seller and Buyer shall consult with each other concerning the means by which any Employee, customer or supplier of Seller or any other Person having any business relationship with Seller will be informed of the Transactions, and Buyer shall have the right to be present for any such communication.

27

7.7 Access to Information. Seller shall cooperate with and take commercially reasonable steps to, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its Representatives to, assist (in good faith) Buyer in connection with the preparation of any financial statements, and any governmental or regulatory filings of Buyer after Closing.

7.8 Unaudited Financial Statements. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date and in any event not later than 20 days thereafter, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Buyer, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, (i) the unaudited balance sheet of Seller as of June 30, 2014, (ii) statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flow for the period from January 1, 2014 to June 30, 2014 and (iii) monthly statements of income for each month from January 2014 to June 2014 inclusive (the “Post-Closing Unaudited Financial Statements”). The Post-Closing Unaudited Financial Statements shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP, applied on a basis consistent with the unaudited balance sheet of Seller as of May 31, 2014, and the statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flow for the period ended May 31, 2014, and shall present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of Seller as of the dates thereof and for the periods indicated therein; provided, however, that the Pre-Closing Unaudited Financial Statements may be subject to normal, recurring year-end adjustments and may lack notes. Additionally, Seller shall provide, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, such other assistance as Buyer may reasonably require in connection with: (i) any future financing activities of Buyer or any of its Affiliates; or (ii) any proposed sale or public offering of American Tire Distributors, Inc. and/or its Affiliates, including the Buyer.

7.9 Change Seller’s Name. Forthwith following the completion of the purchase and sale of the Purchased Assets under this Agreement, Seller shall discontinue use of the names “Regional Tire Distributors” and “RTD”, except where legally required to identify Seller until its name has been changed to another name. Seller shall deliver at Closing articles of amendment to change the corporate name of Seller to another name not including the words “Regional Tire Distributors” or “RTD” and otherwise not confusingly similar to its present name. Seller shall file such articles of amendment with the applicable Governmental Body immediately following Closing.

7.10 Accounts Receivable. Seller hereby: (i) irrevocably authorizes Buyer after the Closing to endorse, without recourse, the name of Seller on any cheque or any other evidence of indebtedness received by Buyer on account of any of the Purchased Assets or the Business; and (ii) irrevocably constitutes and appoints Buyer, from time to time, as the true and lawful attorney for Seller with full power of substitution in the name of and on behalf of Seller, in accordance with applicable Law, with no restriction or limitation in that regard, to endorse, without recourse, the name of Buyer on any cheque or any other evidence of indebtedness received by Buyer on account of any of the Purchased Assets or the Business. After the Closing, Seller will, and the Principals will cause Seller to, promptly remit to Buyer any payment relating to the Business or the Purchased Assets (including payments for Accounts Receivable) that Seller receives. After the Closing, Buyer will promptly remit to Seller any payment relating to the Excluded Assets that Buyer receives.

7.11 Closing Accounts Receivables. In the event that any portion of the Accounts Receivables existing at the Closing Date (the “Closing Accounts Receivable”) and assigned to the Buyer have not been collected on the date that is 120 days following the Closing Date (such

28

portion, the “Unpaid Accounts Receivable Amount”), then Seller shall promptly pay to Buyer the Unpaid Accounts Receivable Amount, in immediately available funds, which obligation shall be a joint and several obligation of Seller and the Principals (or at Buyer’s election, Buyer may withdraw such amount from the Escrow Funds), at which point Buyer will re-assign such Closing Accounts Receivable to Seller. If Buyer collects any payment in cash with respect to any of the Unpaid Accounts Receivable Amount paid to Buyer by Seller pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence following the date of such payment, then Buyer shall at its election, pay the amount so collected to Seller or deposit such amount in the Escrow Funds from which it was withdrawn. Without limiting Buyer’s rights and remedies under this Section 7.11, if: (a) Buyer collects any amount from a customer after the Closing Date with respect to an Account Receivable from such customer; and (b) there are Closing Accounts Receivable from such customer to Buyer that have not been satisfied in full, then Buyer shall apply the amount collected to reduce the oldest account receivable from such customer that has not been satisfied in full and that is not in genuine dispute. Any payments made by Seller or Buyer pursuant to this Section 7.11 shall be adjustments to the Final Purchase Price.

7.12 Harper Consulting Agreement. Following Closing, Seller and Buyer will use reasonable commercial efforts to negotiate an arrangement (a “Harper’s Settlement”) with Harper’s Tire (1931) Ltd. pursuant to which either (i) the Harper Consulting Agreement will be assigned to Buyer but on a basis where the consulting fees thereunder are paid at a level substantially equivalent to the payment obligation which Buyer has agreed to pay as set out below in this Section 7.12, or (ii) the Harper Consulting Agreement is terminated, and in each case, Buyer will bear the reasonable costs of such settlement, and if Buyer assumed the benefit of or is effectively credited pursuant to such settlement with the $500,000 deposit (or remaining amount thereof) paid by Seller under the Harper Consulting Agreement, Buyer will as part of such settlement pay an amount equal to the $500,000 deposit (or remaining amount thereof) to Seller. Until such time as a Harper Settlement has been obtained, (i) Seller will remain party to and liable under the Harper Consulting Agreement, and (ii) Buyer agrees to pay to Seller an amount in respect of the payment obligations of Seller pursuant to Section 4.2 of the Harper Consulting Agreement, which the Seller will pay over to Harper’s Tire (1931) Ltd. in respect of such payment obligations, which amount will be the amount calculated pursuant to Section 4.2 of the Harper Consulting Agreement reduced as follows (all defined terms as set out in the Harper Consulting Agreement): for each WS Customer and the Consultant, the Product Sales amount in respect of any measurement period after Closing shall be calculated as set out in Schedule A to the Harper Consulting Agreement but then multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which (referred to “Numerator”) is the gross sales of Products made by the Distributor to such WS Customer or Consultant during calendar 2013, exclusive of GST and discounted in the manner set forth in Schedule A to the Harper Consulting Agreement, and the denominator of which is the sum of the Numerator and the gross sales of Products made by the Buyer to such WS Customer or Consultant during calendar 2013, exclusive of GST. If a Harper’s Settlement includes a consent by Harper’s Tire (1931) Ltd. to assign the Harper Consulting Agreement to Buyer, Seller shall promptly assign, transfer, convey and deliver to Buyer all of Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Harper Consulting Agreement to Buyer on terms acceptable to Buyer.

7.13 Income Tax Election. In accordance with the requirements of the Tax Act, the regulations thereunder, the administrative practice and policy of the Canada Revenue Agency and any applicable equivalent or corresponding provincial or territorial legislative, regulatory and administrative requirements, Buyer and Seller shall make and file, in a timely manner, a joint

29

election(s) to have the rules in subsection 20(24) of the Tax Act, and any equivalent or corresponding provision under applicable provincial or territorial tax legislation, apply to the obligations of Buyer in respect of undertakings which arise from the operation of the Business and to which paragraph 12(1)(a) of the Tax Act applies. Buyer and Seller acknowledge that Seller is transferring assets to Buyer which have a value equal to the elected amount as consideration for the assumption by Buyer of such obligations of Seller.

7.14 Employees.

(a) At any time on or before the end of the Transition Period, Buyer shall be entitled, at Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion, to offer employment to any or all of the Employees on such terms and conditions as Buyer may determine in its sole discretion. Seller shall exercise reasonable efforts to persuade such Employees to accept such offers of employment.

(b) Buyer shall be solely responsible for all Employee Severance Costs in respect of any Employee who is given written notice of termination effective any time within 10 days following the end of the Transition Period, and shall pay such amounts to Seller upon presentation of evidence of the incurrence of such Employee Severance Costs; provided, however, that Seller shall not, without obtaining Buyer’s prior written consent, (i) offer, either in writing or orally, any Employee Severance Costs to any Employee; or (ii) enter into any settlement with an Employee pertaining to any Employee Severance Costs. For greater certainty, Seller shall obtain Buyer’s prior written agreement regarding (x) the amount of the Employee Severance Costs to be offered to any of the Employees; and (y) the manner of payment and terms and conditions relating to the payment of any Employee Severance Costs.

7.15 Employee Benefits.

(a) At any time on or before the end of the Transition Period, Buyer shall establish or otherwise provide benefit plans (the “Buyer Benefit Plans”) to provide non-pension benefits to the Transferred Employees in respect of the period after which they became employees of Buyer. For greater certainty, nothing in this Agreement shall limit the right of Buyer to amend or terminate in whole or in part any Buyer Benefit Plans, nor shall anything in this Agreement require any Buyer Benefit Plan to replicate any Benefit Plan or any particular benefit provided under a Benefit Plan.

(b) Upon becoming an employee of Buyer, each Transferred Employee shall cease to participate in and accrue benefits under the Benefit Plans, and shall commence participation in the Buyer Benefit Plans upon becoming an employee of Buyer, subject to and in accordance with, the terms of the applicable Buyer Benefit Plans.

(c) Seller shall be responsible, in accordance with the terms of the applicable Benefit Plan, for any and all claims Incurred by the Employees (and their eligible spouses, beneficiaries and dependants) prior to the time in which such Employees become employees of Buyer. Buyer shall be responsible, in accordance with the terms of the applicable Buyer Benefit Plan, for any and all claims Incurred by the Transferred Employees (and their eligible spouses, beneficiaries and dependants) after such time in which the Transferred Employees become employees of Buyer.

30

(d) Subject to applicable Law, Seller shall provide to Buyer, as soon as practicable after such time as an Employee becomes a Transferred Employee, such data, records, documentation and information relating to such Transferred Employee and his or her participating in the Benefit Plans as Buyer may request, provided such data, records, documentation or information is reasonably required for the administration of Buyer Benefit Plans.

7.16 Storage Business. After Closing, Seller will, in coordination with Buyer, wind down the Storage Business and use reasonable commercial efforts to transition all customers of the Storage Business to Buyer.

7.17 Section 56.4 Agreement. The Parties agree that no portion of the Purchase Price shall be allocated to the Non-Competition Agreements. The Parties further agree that the Non-Competition Agreements can reasonably be regarded to have been granted to maintain or preserve the fair market value of the Purchased Assets. Therefore, the Parties intend that subsections 56.4(5) and 56.4(7) of the Tax Act and the equivalent provisions of any provincial legislation apply to this Agreement and the Non-Competition Agreements. The Parties further agree that Buyer and Seller shall execute and file in prescribed form and on a timely basis any election required to ensure that subsections 56.4(5) and 56.4(7) of the Tax Act and the equivalent provisions of any provincial legislation apply in respect of this Agreement and the Non-Competition Agreements.

7.18 Seller’s Future Actions. After the Closing, Seller and the Principals shall not, directly or indirectly, take any action which may adversely affect Buyer’s ownership of, or the validity or enforceability of, the Purchased Assets.

ARTICLE VIII.

INDEMNIFICATION

8.1 Indemnification by Seller and Principals. After the Closing and subject to the terms and conditions of this Article VIII, Seller and each Principal shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, managers, employees, members, directors, partners, shareholders, successors, heirs, assigns and agents (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from, and pay and reimburse the Buyer Indemnified Parties for, all Losses, directly or indirectly, resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, in connection with or caused by:

(a) any non-fulfilment or breach of any covenant or agreement on the part of Seller or any of the Principals contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or other document furnished by or on behalf of Seller or any of the Principals pursuant to this Agreement;

(b) any misrepresentation or any incorrectness in or breach of any representation or warranty of Seller or any of the Principals contained in this Agreement;

(c) any claim by any Person claiming through or on behalf of Seller or any of the Principals arising out of or relating to any act or omission by Buyer or any other Person in reliance upon instructions from or notices given by Seller or any of the Principals;

31

(d) warranty obligations to third parties with respect to any products sold or services provided by Seller prior to the Closing Date;

(e) Liabilities under the Harper Consulting Agreement or the business relationship with Harper’s Tire (1931) Ltd. (other than the payment obligations of Buyer expressly contemplated in Section 7.12 hereof);

(f) any Liabilities of Seller not forming part of the Assumed Liabilities; and

(g) the failure to obtain any necessary Consents for any Restricted Rights referred to in Section 2.4, including any Losses relating to any resultant termination of any such Restricted Rights or any increase of obligations or decrease of rights or entitlements of Buyer.

For purposes of this Article VIII, in determining whether Seller or any of the Principals have breached any representation or warranty made by Seller or such Principal in this Agreement, the terms “material”, “materially”, “in all material respects”, “Material Adverse Effect”, dollar thresholds and similar qualifications shall be disregarded and given no effect.

8.2 Limitation on Liability. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any Transaction Document:

(a) Except in the case of Fraud, the provisions of this Article VIII shall constitute the sole remedy to the Buyer Indemnified Parties against Seller and the Principals with respect to any and all breaches of any agreement, covenant, representation or warranty made by Seller or any of the Principals in this Agreement or in any Transaction Document, other than any remedy based on equitable principles, including injunctive relief or specific performance, which shall not be limited by this Section 8.2.

(b) For the purposes of calculating Losses of the Buyer Indemnified Parties, the principle to be applied is that the Buyer Indemnified Parties are to be made whole and to be placed in the same position as it would have been in if the act, omission or state of affairs giving rise to the Loss indemnified against had not arisen, and by way of example, to the extent that any Loss indemnified against hereunder (or the event giving rise to the same): (i) creates, gives rise to or otherwise has the result of conferring upon a Buyer Indemnified Party, any tax deduction, tax credit or tax relief (but only to the extent that any such tax deduction, tax credit or tax relief has, prior to the receipt of the applicable indemnification payment, resulted in a direct reduction of the Taxes payable by a Buyer Indemnified Party or will result in a direct reduction of the Taxes payable by a Buyer Indemnified Party in the taxation year in which the applicable indemnification payment is received by a Buyer Indemnified Party) or (ii) results in any recovery pursuant to any insurance coverage, the same shall be taken into account in the calculation of the Loss of the Buyer Indemnified Parties. Similarly, if the receipt of an indemnification payment by a Buyer Indemnified Party will result in an increase in the Taxes payable by a Buyer Indemnified Party and/or a decrease in the Tax attributes of a Buyer Indemnified Party (over and above what the position of the Buyer Indemnified Party would have been if the act, omission or state of affairs giving rise to the Loss indemnified against had not arisen), the amount of such indemnification payment shall be increased so that the amount of the indemnification payment received by the Buyer Indemnified Parties, after deducting the amount of such increase in Taxes payable and/or decrease in Tax attributes, is equal to the amount they would have received if there had been no such increase in Taxes payable and/or decrease in Tax attributes as a result of

32

the receipt of such indemnification payment. For clarity, if any amount in respect of an inaccuracy in any of the representations and warranties made by Seller or breach of any covenants of Seller was reflected in the Closing Working Capital (excluding any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income), then such inaccuracy or breach shall not give rise to an indemnification obligation under this Article VIII to the extent of the amount so reflected in the Closing Statement.

(c) Other than Losses arising from Fraud or inaccuracy or breach of a Fundamental Representation, Seller and the Principals shall not be liable to the Buyer Indemnified Parties for any Losses until the aggregate amount of all such Losses incurred by the Buyer Indemnified Parties exceeds $100,000, whereupon Seller and the Principals shall be liable for all such Losses in excess of $100,000.

(d) Except in the case of Fraud or inaccuracy or breach of a Fundamental Representation, the indemnification obligations of Seller and the Principals under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents shall not exceed the Final Purchase Price.

8.3 Survival and Time Limitations.

(a) All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Seller and the Principals in this Agreement, any Transaction Document and any other certificate or document delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing. Except in the case of Fraud, Seller and the Principals shall not have any Liability with respect to any claim for any breach or inaccuracy of any representation that is not a Fundamental Representation or any breach of a covenant or agreement in this Agreement to be performed and complied with as of the Closing Date (but not including any agreement or covenant to be performed or complied with at or after the Closing) unless Buyer notifies Seller of such a claim on or before the date that is two years after the Closing Date. Seller and the Principals shall not have any Liability with respect to any claim for any breach or inaccuracy of any Tax Representation unless Buyer notifies Seller of such a claim on or before the date that is 90 days after the expiration of the applicable statute or period of limitations (including any extension of such statute or period of limitations). Any claim for any breach or inaccuracy of a Title Representation or breach of an agreement or covenant to be performed or complied with at or after the Closing may be made at any time before the last day of the ultimate limitation period permitted by applicable Law. No party shall have any liability or obligation of any nature with respect to any representation, warranty, agreement or covenant after the termination thereof, except with respect to a claim for indemnification under this Article VIII if written notice thereof has been given in accordance with the provisions hereof by Buyer to Seller prior to the end of the applicable survival period set forth in this Section 8.3(a). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if such written notice has been given in accordance with the provisions hereof and prior to the termination of the applicable representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, then the relevant representations, warranties, covenants and agreements shall survive as to such claim until the claim has been finally resolved.

(b) All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Buyer in this Agreement, any Transaction Document and any other certificate or document delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing. Except in the case of Fraud, Buyer shall not have any Liability with respect to any claim for any breach or inaccuracy of any representation and warranty of Buyer or any breach of a covenant or agreement in this Agreement to be performed

33

and complied with as of the Closing Date (but not including any agreement or covenant to be performed or complied with at or after the Closing) unless Seller notifies Buyer of such a claim on or before the date that is two years after the Closing Date. Any claim for any breach of an agreement or covenant to be performed or complied with at or after the Closing may be made at any time before the last day of the ultimate limitation period permitted by applicable Law. No party shall have any liability or obligation of any nature with respect to any representation, warranty, agreement or covenant after the termination thereof, except with respect to a claim for indemnification under this Article VIII if written notice thereof has been given in accordance with the provisions hereof by Seller to Buyer prior to the end of the applicable survival period set forth in this Section 8.3(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if such written notice has been given in accordance with the provisions hereof and prior to the termination of the applicable representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, then the relevant representations, warranties, covenants and agreements shall survive as to such claim until the claim has been finally resolved.

8.4 Manner of Payment.

(a) Buyer may set off all or any portion of any amount to which any Buyer Indemnified Party may be entitled under this Article VIII against any amount otherwise payable (other than amounts payable under, or pursuant to, the Employment Agreement) by Buyer or any of its Affiliates to Seller. The exercise of such set-off right in good faith shall not constitute a breach or event of default under this Agreement or any Contract relating to any amount against which the set-off is applied. In addition to, and not in limitation of Buyer’s right of set-off under this Section 8.4, Buyer may elect in its sole discretion to recover all or any portion of any amount to which any Buyer Indemnified Party may be entitled under this Article VIII from the Escrow Funds until such funds are exhausted and then may, subject to the other limitations contained in this Article VIII, recover any additional amount to which any Buyer Indemnified Party is entitled under this Article VIII directly from Seller and/or the Principals.

(b) Buyer and Seller hereby agree to provide joint instructions to the Escrow Agent on a timely basis so that distributions from the Escrow Funds can be made by the Escrow Agent to the applicable Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party in accordance with this Section 8.4 unless the entitlement of the Buyer Indemnified Parties or Seller Indemnified Parties, as applicable, in respect of such Loss is in dispute.

8.5 Third-Party Claims.

(a) If a third party commences or threatens a Proceeding (a “Third-Party Claim”) against any Buyer Indemnified Party or any Seller Indemnified Party (as that term is defined in Section 8.7 herein), as the case may be, (the “Indemnified Party”) with respect to any matter that the Indemnified Party is entitled to make a claim for indemnification against Seller or Buyer, as the case may be (the “Indemnifying Party”) under this Article VIII, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party thereof in writing of the existence of such Third-Party Claim and must deliver copies of any documents served on the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third-Party Claim to the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that any inadvertent failure to notify the Indemnifying Party or to deliver copies will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure.

34

(b) Upon receipt of the notice described in Section 8.5(a), the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend the Indemnified Party against the Third-Party Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party so long as (i) within ten days after receipt of such notice, the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing that the Indemnifying Party will, subject to the limitations of this Article VIII, indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against any Losses the Indemnified Party may incur relating to or arising out of the Third Party Claim; (ii) the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will have the financial resources to defend against the Third-Party Claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder; (iii) the Indemnifying Party is not a party to the Proceeding or the Indemnified Party has determined in good faith that there would be no conflict of interest or other inappropriate matter associated with joint representation; (iv) the Third-Party Claim does not involve, and is not likely to involve, any claim by any Governmental Body; (v) the Third-Party Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief; (vi) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Third-Party Claim is not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, likely to establish a precedential custom or practice adverse to the continuing business interests of the Indemnified Party; (vii) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third-Party Claim actively and diligently; and (viii) the Indemnifying Party keeps the Indemnified Party apprised of all developments, including settlement offers, with respect to the Third-Party Claim and permits the Indemnified Party to participate in the defense of the Third-Party Claim.

(c) So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of the Third-Party Claim in accordance with Section 8.5(b), (i) the Indemnifying Party shall not be responsible for any attorneys’ fees incurred by the Indemnified Party regarding the Third-Party Claim (other than attorneys’ fees incurred prior to the Indemnifying Party’s assumption of the defense pursuant to Section 8.5(b)); and (ii) neither the Indemnified Party nor the Indemnifying Party shall consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be withheld unreasonably.

(d) If any condition in Section 8.5(b) is or becomes unsatisfied, (i) the Indemnified Party may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to, the Third-Party Claim in any manner it may deem appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith); (ii) the Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Party promptly and periodically (but no less often than monthly) for the costs of defending against the Third-Party Claim, including attorneys’ fees and expenses; and (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall remain responsible for any Losses the Indemnified Party may incur relating to or arising out of the Third-Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in this Article VIII.

8.6 Other Indemnification Matters. Any claim for indemnification by the Buyer Indemnified Parties under this Article VIII must be asserted by providing written notice to Seller against whom indemnification is sought specifying the factual basis of the claim in reasonable detail to the extent then known by Buyer. Any claim for indemnification by Seller Indemnified Parties under this Article VIII must be asserted by providing written notice to Buyer specifying the factual basis of the claim in reasonable detail to the extent then known by Seller. All indemnification payments under this Article VIII shall be deemed adjustments to the Purchase

35

Price and shall be allocated in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.3(f); provided that if an amount of such an adjustment cannot be reasonably allocated to a particular asset, such amount shall be allocated to the Goodwill. If any indemnification payment made pursuant to this Article VIII is deemed by the Excise Tax Act (Canada) to include goods and services tax or harmonized sales tax, or is deemed by any applicable Canadian provincial or territorial legislation to include a similar value added or multi-staged tax, the amount of such payment shall be increased accordingly. The right to indemnification will not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any Knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the date hereof, with respect to any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or agreement, will not affect the right to indemnification or any equitable remedy based on any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

8.7 Indemnification by Buyer. After the Closing and subject to the terms and conditions of this Article VIII, Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, managers, employees, members, directors, partners, shareholders, successors, heirs, assigns and agents (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from, and pay and reimburse Seller Indemnified Parties for, all Losses, directly or indirectly, resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, in connection with or caused by:

(a) any non-fulfilment or breach of any covenant or agreement on the part of Buyer contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or other document furnished by or on behalf of Buyer pursuant to this Agreement;

(b) any misrepresentation or any incorrectness in or breach of any representation or warranty of Buyer contained in this Agreement; and

(c) any claim by any Person claiming through or on behalf of Buyer arising out of or relating to any act or omission by Seller or any of the Principals or other Person in reliance upon instructions from or notices given by Buyer.

For purposes of this Article VIII, in determining whether Buyer has breached any representation or warranty made by Buyer in this Agreement, the terms “material”, “materially”, “in all material respects”, “material adverse effect”, dollar thresholds and similar qualifications shall be disregarded and given no effect.

8.8 Limitation on Liability. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any Transaction Document:

(a) except in the case of Fraud, the provisions of this Article VIII shall constitute the sole remedy to the Seller Indemnified Parties against Buyer with respect to any and all breaches of any agreement, covenant, representation or warranty made by Buyer in this Agreement or in any Transaction Document, other than any remedy based on equitable principles, including injunctive relief or specific performance, which shall not be limited by this Section 8.8.

(b) for the purposes of calculating Losses of the Seller Indemnified Parties, the principle to be applied is that the Seller Indemnified Parties are to be made whole and to be placed in the same position as they would have been in if the act, omission or state of affairs giving rise to the Loss indemnified against had not arisen.

36

(c) other than Losses arising from Fraud, or inaccuracy or breach of a Fundamental Representation, Buyer shall not be liable to the Seller Indemnified Parties for any Losses until the aggregate amount of all such Losses incurred by the Seller Indemnified Parties exceeds $100,000, whereupon Buyer shall be liable for all such Losses in excess of $100,000.

No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless the waiver is in writing and signed by the waiving Party. The failure of a Party at any time to require performance of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect such Party’s rights at a later time to enforce such provision. No waiver by any Party of any breach of this Agreement shall be deemed to extend to any other breach hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any other breach.

9.10 Severability.

3.1 Purchase Price. Subject to Section 3.3(e), the aggregate purchase price to be paid by Buyer to Seller for the Purchased Assets shall be thirty one million nine hundred and eleven thousand United States dollars (US$31,911,000) plus, the amount of the Assumed Liabilities, (the “Purchase Price”) plus, if the Closing Working Capital exceeds the Target Working Capital, the amount by which the Closing Working Capital exceeds the Target Working Capital, or less, if the Target Working Capital exceeds the Closing Working Capital, the amount by which the Target Working Capital exceeds the Closing Working Capital. The Purchase Price was agreed to by Buyer and Seller based on an 8 times multiple of Adjusted EBITDA of the Business.

3.2 Satisfaction of Purchase Price. Buyer shall satisfy the Purchase Price at the Closing Time as follows:

(a) by the assumption by Buyer of the Assumed Liabilities;

(b) by payment to the Escrow Agent of the Escrow Amount, pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a single bank account designated by the Escrow Agent; and

(c) by payment to Seller of US$28,719,900, being an amount equal to the Purchase Price less (i) the amount of the Assumed Liabilities; and (ii) the Escrow Amount, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to bank account(s) designated by Seller.

3.3 Closing Statement and Final Determination of Purchase Price.

(a) As soon as reasonably practicable but not later than 90 days following the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller a statement consisting of the following as of immediately prior to the Closing Time, calculated on a basis consistent with the Seller’s past practice (and for certainty, with respect to Working Capital, calculated in accordance with the definition thereof): (i) the unaudited balance sheet of the Seller (the “Closing Balance Sheet”) and (ii) the Working Capital (the “Closing Working Capital”) (collectively, the “Closing Statement”).

(b) During the 90 day period following the Closing Date, Seller and its accounting representatives shall be entitled, during ordinary business hours upon reasonable advance notice, to examine the working papers related to the preparation of the Closing Statement and the Books and Records and to discuss the preparation of the Closing Statement with Buyer.

(c) Seller may dispute any amounts reflected on the Closing Statement (the “Disputed Amounts”), but only if (i) the basis of its dispute is that the amounts reflected on the Closing Statement were not arrived at in accordance with this Agreement, or resulted from a mistake of fact, and (ii) Seller shall have notified Buyer in writing of each disputed item (the “Notice of Objection”), specifying the amount thereof in dispute and setting forth, in reasonable

3

detail, the basis for such dispute, within 30 days after the date Buyer delivered the Closing Statement to Seller. To the extent Seller does not dispute an amount reflected on the Closing Statement in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, such amount shall be deemed final and binding on the Parties for all purposes hereunder. In the event of such a dispute, Seller and Buyer shall attempt to reconcile their differences. If Seller and Buyer are unable to reach a resolution with such effect within 30 days after receipt by Buyer of the Notice of Objection, Seller and Buyer shall submit the items remaining in dispute for resolution to KPMG LLP (or, if such firm declines to act, to another nationally recognized independent public accounting firm mutually acceptable to Buyer and Seller) (the “Resolution Accountants”), which shall be instructed to use its best efforts to render a decision as to all items in dispute within 30 days after such submission. The Resolution Accountants shall only resolve the Disputed Amounts by choosing the amounts submitted by either Buyer or Seller or amounts in between. Buyer and Seller shall each furnish to the Resolution Accountants such working papers and other documents and information relating to the Disputed Amounts as the Resolution Accountants may request. The resolution of the Disputed Amounts by the Resolution Accountants shall be final and binding on the Parties for all purposes hereunder, and the determination of the Resolution Accountants shall constitute an arbitral award that is final, binding and unappealable and upon which a judgment may be entered by a court having jurisdiction. After final determination of the Closing Working Capital, Seller shall have no further right to make any claims in respect of any element of the foregoing amounts that Seller raised in the Notice of Objection. The fees and disbursements of the Resolution Accountants shall be allocated between Buyer and Seller in the same proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of unsuccessfully Disputed Amounts submitted by Buyer or Seller (as finally determined by the Resolution Accountants) bears to the total dollar amount of disputed items so submitted.

(d) The Closing Statement shall be deemed final for all purposes hereunder upon the earlier of (i) the absence of Seller delivering a Notice of Objection to Buyer within 30 days after the date Buyer delivered the Closing Statement to Seller, and (ii) the resolution of all Disputed Amounts pursuant to Section 3.3(c). The date on which the Closing Statement is finally determined in accordance with this Section 3.3(d) is hereinafter referred as to the “Determination Date”.

(e) Within three Business Days after the Determination Date:

(i) Buyer shall provide to Seller a calculation of the final Purchase Price (the “Final Purchase Price”) using the calculation set forth in Section 3.1;

(ii) if the Final Purchase Price (as so determined) is greater than the Purchase Price, Buyer shall pay to Seller the aggregate amount of the difference thereof, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account designated in writing by Seller; or

(iii) if the Purchase Price is greater than the Final Purchase Price (as so determined), Seller shall promptly pay to Buyer the aggregate amount of the difference thereof, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account designated in writing by Buyer, which obligation shall be a joint and several obligation of Seller and the Principals (or at Buyer’s election, Buyer may withdraw such amount from the Escrow Funds).

4

(f) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date and in any event not later than 90 days thereafter, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller a draft allocation of the Purchase Price among the Purchased Assets in accordance with fair market values, consistent with the principles set forth in Schedule 3.3(f) (the “Allocation Statement”). In the event that Seller does not object to the draft allocation proposed by Buyer within 30 days after the delivery of the Allocation Statement, Buyer and Seller shall use the Allocation Statement prepared and delivered by Buyer. In the event that Seller objects in good faith to the allocation proposed by Buyer, Seller shall so advise Buyer by delivery to Buyer of a notice (the “Objection Notice”) within 30 days after the delivery to Seller of the Allocation Statement. The Objection Notice shall set out an alternative allocation proposed by Seller. Seller and Buyer shall endeavour in good faith to resolve any disagreement within the later of: (i) 30 days of the delivery of the Objection Notice; and (ii) 30 days after the delivery of the Closing Statement. If Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve their disagreements within such time, each of Buyer and Seller shall use its own allocation. Except as may be required by Law, Buyer and Seller agree to report the allocation of the Purchase Price among the Purchased Assets in the preparation and filing of all Tax Returns in accordance with this Section 3.3(f).

(g) The amount of any payment pursuant to Section 3.3(e) shall be deemed an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all purposes hereunder, including for purposes of the final consideration payable hereunder, and shall be allocated in accordance with Section 3.3(f).

(h) The final determination of the Final Purchase Price pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.3 shall be conclusive for purposes of the operation of the provisions hereof, but neither the provisions hereof nor the resolution of the final determination of the Final Purchase Price pursuant hereto shall affect any rights of Buyer to indemnification to the extent provided for under, and subject to the limitations contained in, Article VIII, or preclude the Parties from treating any indemnification payments received by Buyer or Seller as adjustments to the Final Purchase Price for Tax, accounting or other purposes.

3.4 Escrow Agreement.

(b) The Parties agree that: (i) 50% of the Escrow Amount shall be released to Seller on the Tranche 1 Release Date; and (ii) 50% of the Escrow Amount shall be released to Seller on the Tranche 2 Release Date, in each case, in accordance with this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement; provided, that if there are any indemnification claims hereunder for Losses of the Buyer Indemnified Parties that are properly pending on either of the Tranche 1 Release Date or the Tranche 2 Release Date, as applicable, an amount equal to the amount of all such claims shall be withheld from the amount otherwise distributable on such date and shall be retained as Escrow Funds and shall not be released until such claims are finally resolved and satisfied or are otherwise released pursuant to a joint direction of Buyer and Seller. All fees and charges of the Escrow Agent and otherwise incurred under the Escrow Agreement shall be borne equally by Buyer and Seller.

(b) No Party shall issue any press release or make any public announcement relating to the subject matter of this Agreement without the prior written approval of Buyer and Seller; provided, however, that any Party may make any public disclosure it believes in good faith is required by applicable Law or any listing or trading agreement concerning its publicly-traded securities (in which case such Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to advise the other Party prior to making such disclosure). Seller and Buyer shall consult with each other concerning the means by which any Employee, customer or supplier of Seller or any other Person having any business relationship with Seller will be informed of the Transactions, and Buyer shall have the right to be present for any such communication.

7.7 Access to Information. Seller shall cooperate with and take commercially reasonable steps to, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its Representatives to, assist (in good faith) Buyer in connection with the preparation of any financial statements, and any governmental or regulatory filings of Buyer after Closing.

7.8 Unaudited Financial Statements. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date and in any event not later than 20 days thereafter, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Buyer, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, (i) the unaudited balance sheet of Seller as of June 30, 2014, (ii) statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flow for the period from January 1, 2014 to June 30, 2014 and (iii) monthly statements of income for each month from January 2014 to June 2014 inclusive (the “Post-Closing Unaudited Financial Statements”). The Post-Closing Unaudited Financial Statements shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP, applied on a basis consistent with the unaudited balance sheet of Seller as of May 31,

29

2014, and the statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flow for the period ended May 31, 2014, and shall present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of Seller as of the dates thereof and for the periods indicated therein; provided, however, that the Pre-Closing Unaudited Financial Statements may be subject to normal, recurring year-end adjustments and may lack notes. Additionally, Seller shall provide, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, such other assistance as Buyer may reasonably require in connection with: (i) any future financing activities of Buyer or any of its Affiliates; or (ii) any proposed sale or public offering of American Tire Distributors, Inc. and/or its Affiliates, including the Buyer.

7.9 Change Seller’s Name. Forthwith following the completion of the purchase and sale of the Purchased Assets under this Agreement, Seller shall discontinue use of the name “Regional Tire Distributors” and “RTD”, except where legally required to identify Seller until its name has been changed to another name. Seller shall deliver at Closing articles of amendment to change the corporate name of Seller to another name not including the words “Regional Tire Distributors” or “RTD” and otherwise not confusingly similar to its present name. Seller shall file such articles of amendment with the applicable Governmental Body immediately following Closing.

7.10 Accounts Receivable. Seller hereby: (i) irrevocably authorizes Buyer after the Closing to endorse, without recourse, the name of Seller on any cheque or any other evidence of indebtedness received by Buyer on account of any of the Purchased Assets or the Business; and (ii) irrevocably constitutes and appoints Buyer, from time to time, as the true and lawful attorney for Seller with full power of substitution in the name of and on behalf of Seller, in accordance with applicable Law, with no restriction or limitation in that regard, to endorse, without recourse, the name of Buyer on any cheque or any other evidence of indebtedness received by Buyer on account of any of the Purchased Assets or the Business. After the Closing, Seller will, and the Principals will cause Seller to, promptly remit to Buyer any payment relating to the Business or the Purchased Assets (including payments for Accounts Receivable) that Seller receives. After the Closing, Buyer will promptly remit to Seller any payment relating to the Excluded Assets that Buyer receives.

7.11 Closing Accounts Receivables. In the event that any portion of the Accounts Receivables existing at the Closing Date (the “Closing Accounts Receivable”) and assigned to the Buyer have not been collected on the date that is 120 days following the Closing Date (such portion, the “Unpaid Accounts Receivable Amount”), then Seller shall promptly pay to Buyer the Unpaid Accounts Receivable Amount, in immediately available funds, which obligation shall be a joint and several obligation of Seller and the Principals (or at Buyer’s election, Buyer may withdraw such amount from the Escrow Funds), at which point Buyer will re-assign such Closing Accounts Receivable to Seller. If Buyer collects any payment in cash with respect to any of the Unpaid Accounts Receivable Amount paid to Buyer by Seller pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence following the date of such payment, then Buyer shall at its election, pay the amount so collected to Seller or deposit such amount in the Escrow Funds from which it was withdrawn. Without limiting Buyer’s rights and remedies under this Section 7.11, if: (a) Buyer collects any amount from a customer after the Closing Date with respect to an Account Receivable from such customer; and (b) there are Closing Accounts Receivable from such customer to Buyer that have not been satisfied in full, then Buyer shall apply the amount collected to reduce the oldest account receivable from such customer that has not been satisfied in full and that is not in genuine dispute. Any payments made by Seller or Buyer pursuant to this Section 7.11 shall be adjustments to the Final Purchase Price.

30

7.12 Income Tax Election. In accordance with the requirements of the Tax Act, the regulations thereunder, the administrative practice and policy of the Canada Revenue Agency and any applicable equivalent or corresponding provincial or territorial legislative, regulatory and administrative requirements, Buyer and Seller shall make and file, in a timely manner, a joint election(s) to have the rules in subsection 20(24) of the Tax Act, and any equivalent or corresponding provision under applicable provincial or territorial tax legislation, apply to the obligations of Buyer in respect of undertakings which arise from the operation of the Business and to which paragraph 12(1)(a) of the Tax Act applies. Buyer and Seller acknowledge that Seller is transferring assets to Buyer which have a value equal to the elected amount as consideration for the assumption by Buyer of such obligations of Seller.

7.13 Section 56.4 Agreement. The Parties agree that no portion of the Purchase Price shall be allocated to the Non-Competition Agreements. The Parties further agree that the Non-Competition Agreements can reasonably be regarded to have been granted to maintain or preserve the fair market value of the Purchased Assets. Therefore, the Parties intend that subsections 56.4(5) and 56.4(7) of the Tax Act and the equivalent provisions of any provincial legislation apply to this Agreement and the Non-Competition Agreements. The Parties further agree that Buyer and Seller shall execute and file in prescribed form and on a timely basis any election required to ensure that subsections 56.4(5) and 56.4(7) of the Tax Act and the equivalent provisions of any provincial legislation apply in respect of this Agreement and the Non-Competition Agreements.

7.14 Storage Business. After Closing, Seller will, in coordination with Buyer, wind down the Storage Business and use reasonable commercial efforts to transition all customers of the Storage Business to Buyer.

7.15 Seller’s Future Actions. After the Closing, Seller and the Principals shall not, directly or indirectly, take any action which may adversely affect Buyer’s ownership of, or the validity or enforceability of, the Purchased Assets.

7.16 Stub Period Returns. Buyer shall cause the Acquired Subsidiary to duly and timely make or prepare all Tax Returns required to be made or prepared by them and to duly and timely file all Tax Returns required to be filed by them for any period which ends on or before the Closing Date and for which Tax Returns have not been filed as of such date. Buyer may cause the Acquired Subsidiary to make the election referred to in subsection 256(9) of the Tax Act, and comparable provisions of applicable provincial or territorial legislation, and to file such election(s) for the Acquired Subsidiary’s taxation year(s) ending immediately before the Closing Time. Buyer shall also cause the Acquired Subsidiary to duly and timely make or prepare all Tax Returns required to be made or prepared by them and to duly and timely file all Tax Returns required to be filed by them for periods beginning before and ending after the Closing Date. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate fully with each other and make available to each other in a timely fashion such data and other information as may reasonably be required for the preparation of any Tax Return of the Acquired Subsidiary for a period ending on, prior to or including the Closing Date and shall preserve such data and other information until the expiration of any applicable limitation period under any applicable law with respect to Taxes.

ARTICLE VIII.

INDEMNIFICATION

8.1 Indemnification by Seller and Principals. After the Closing and subject to the terms and conditions of this Article VIII, Seller and each Principal shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, managers, employees, members, directors, partners, shareholders, successors, heirs, assigns and agents (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from, and pay and reimburse the Buyer Indemnified Parties for, all Losses, directly or indirectly, resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, in connection with or caused by:

(a) any non-fulfilment or breach of any covenant or agreement on the part of Seller or any of the Principals contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or other document furnished by or on behalf of Seller or any of the Principals pursuant to this Agreement;

(b) any misrepresentation or any incorrectness in or breach of any representation or warranty of Seller or any of the Principals contained in this Agreement;

(c) any claim by any Person claiming through or on behalf of Seller or any of the Principals arising out of or relating to any act or omission by Buyer or any other Person in reliance upon instructions from or notices given by Seller or any of the Principals;

(d) warranty obligations to third parties with respect to any products sold or services provided by Seller prior to the Closing Date;

(e) any Liabilities of Seller not forming part of the Assumed Liabilities;

(f) any liability of the Acquired Subsidiary for Taxes in respect of any taxation year or other period ended prior to the Closing Date, or any portion of a taxation year or other period up to and including the Closing Date; and

(g) the failure to obtain any necessary Consents for any Restricted Rights referred to in Section 2.4, including any Losses relating to any resultant termination of any such Restricted Rights or any increase of obligations or decrease of rights or entitlements of Buyer.

The Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to make indemnification claims for Losses against one or more of Seller and the Principals, and, for greater certainty, do not need to make such indemnification claims against Seller and each Principal jointly.

For purposes of this Article VIII, in determining whether Seller or any of the Principals have breached any representation or warranty made by Seller or such Principal in this Agreement, the terms “material”, “materially”, “in all material respects”, “Material Adverse Effect”, dollar thresholds and similar qualifications shall be disregarded and given no effect.

8.2 Limitation on Liability. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any Transaction Document:

(a) Except in the case of Fraud, the provisions of this Article VIII shall constitute the sole remedy to the Buyer Indemnified Parties against Seller and the Principals with respect to any and all breaches of any agreement, covenant, representation or warranty made by Seller or

32

any of the Principals in this Agreement or in any Transaction Document, other than any remedy based on equitable principles, including injunctive relief or specific performance, which shall not be limited by this Section 8.2.

(b) For the purposes of calculating Losses of the Buyer Indemnified Parties, the principle to be applied is that the Buyer Indemnified Parties are to be made whole and to be placed in the same position as it would have been in if the act, omission or state of affairs giving rise to the Loss indemnified against had not arisen, and by way of example, to the extent that any Loss indemnified against hereunder (or the event giving rise to the same): (i) creates, gives rise to or otherwise has the result of conferring upon a Buyer Indemnified Party, any tax deduction, tax credit or tax relief (but only to the extent that any such tax deduction, tax credit or tax relief has, prior to the receipt of the applicable indemnification payment, resulted in a direct reduction of the Taxes payable by a Buyer Indemnified Party or will result in a direct reduction of the Taxes payable by a Buyer Indemnified Party in the taxation year in which the applicable indemnification payment is received by a Buyer Indemnified Party) or (ii) results in any recovery pursuant to any insurance coverage, the same shall be taken into account in the calculation of the Loss of the Buyer Indemnified Parties. Similarly, if the receipt of an indemnification payment by a Buyer Indemnified Party will result in an increase in the Taxes payable by a Buyer Indemnified Party and/or a decrease in the Tax attributes of a Buyer Indemnified Party (over and above what the position of the Buyer Indemnified Party would have been if the act, omission or state of affairs giving rise to the Loss indemnified against had not arisen), the amount of such indemnification payment shall be increased so that the amount of the indemnification payment received by the Buyer Indemnified Parties, after deducting the amount of such increase in Taxes payable and/or decrease in Tax attributes, is equal to the amount they would have received if there had been no such increase in Taxes payable and/or decrease in Tax attributes as a result of the receipt of such indemnification payment. For clarity, if any amount in respect of an inaccuracy in any of the representations and warranties made by Seller or breach of any covenants of Seller was reflected in the Closing Working Capital (excluding any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income), then such inaccuracy or breach shall not give rise to an indemnification obligation under this Article VIII to the extent of the amount so reflected in the Closing Statement.

(c) Other than Losses arising from Fraud or inaccuracy or breach of a Fundamental Representation, Seller and the Principals shall not be liable to the Buyer Indemnified Parties for any Losses until the aggregate amount of all such Losses incurred by the Buyer Indemnified Parties exceeds $100,000, whereupon Seller and the Principals shall be liable for all such Losses in excess of $100,000.

(d) Except in the case of Fraud or inaccuracy or breach of a Fundamental Representation, the indemnification obligations of Seller and the Principals under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents shall not exceed the Final Purchase Price.

8.3 Survival and Time Limitations.

(a) All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Seller and the Principals in this Agreement, any Transaction Document and any other certificate or document delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing. Except in the case of Fraud, Seller and the Principals shall not have any Liability with respect to any claim for any breach or inaccuracy of any representation that is not a Fundamental Representation or any breach of a

33

covenant or agreement in this Agreement to be performed and complied with as of the Closing Date (but not including any agreement or covenant to be performed or complied with at or after the Closing) unless Buyer notifies Seller of such a claim on or before the date that is two years after the Closing Date. Seller and the Principals shall not have any Liability with respect to any claim for any breach or inaccuracy of any Tax Representation unless Buyer notifies Seller of such a claim on or before the date that is 90 days after the expiration of the applicable statute or period of limitations (including any extension of such statute or period of limitations). Any claim for any breach or inaccuracy of a Title Representation or breach of an agreement or covenant to be performed or complied with at or after the Closing may be made at any time before the last day of the ultimate limitation period permitted by applicable Law. No party shall have any liability or obligation of any nature with respect to any representation, warranty, agreement or covenant after the termination thereof, except with respect to a claim for indemnification under this Article VIII if written notice thereof has been given in accordance with the provisions hereof by Buyer to Seller prior to the end of the applicable survival period set forth in this Section 8.3(a). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if such written notice has been given in accordance with the provisions hereof and prior to the termination of the applicable representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, then the relevant representations, warranties, covenants and agreements shall survive as to such claim until the claim has been finally resolved.

(b) All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Buyer in this Agreement, any Transaction Document and any other certificate or document delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing. Except in the case of Fraud, Buyer shall not have any Liability with respect to any claim for any breach or inaccuracy of any representation and warranty of Buyer or any breach of a covenant or agreement in this Agreement to be performed and complied with as of the Closing Date (but not including any agreement or covenant to be performed or complied with at or after the Closing) unless Seller notifies Buyer of such a claim on or before the date that is two years after the Closing Date. Any claim for any breach of an agreement or covenant to be performed or complied with at or after the Closing may be made at any time before the last day of the ultimate limitation period permitted by applicable Law. No party shall have any liability or obligation of any nature with respect to any representation, warranty, agreement or covenant after the termination thereof, except with respect to a claim for indemnification under this Article VIII if written notice thereof has been given in accordance with the provisions hereof by Seller to Buyer prior to the end of the applicable survival period set forth in this Section 8.3(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if such written notice has been given in accordance with the provisions hereof and prior to the termination of the applicable representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, then the relevant representations, warranties, covenants and agreements shall survive as to such claim until the claim has been finally resolved.

8.4 Manner of Payment.

(a) Buyer may set off all or any portion of any amount to which any Buyer Indemnified Party may be entitled under this Article VIII against any amount otherwise payable (other than amounts payable under, or pursuant to, the Employment Agreement) by Buyer or any of its Affiliates to Seller. The exercise of such set-off right in good faith shall not constitute a breach or event of default under this Agreement or any Contract relating to any amount against which the set-off is applied. In addition to, and not in limitation of Buyer’s right of set-off under

34

this Section 8.4, Buyer may elect in its sole discretion to recover all or any portion of any amount to which any Buyer Indemnified Party may be entitled under this Article VIII from the Escrow Funds until such funds are exhausted and then may, subject to the other limitations contained in this Article VIII, recover any additional amount to which any Buyer Indemnified Party is entitled under this Article VIII directly from Seller and/or the Principals.

(b) Buyer and Seller hereby agree to provide joint instructions to the Escrow Agent on a timely basis so that distributions from the Escrow Funds can be made by the Escrow Agent to the applicable Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party in accordance with this Section 8.4 unless the entitlement of the Buyer Indemnified Parties or Seller Indemnified Parties, as applicable, in respect of such Loss is in dispute.

8.5 Third-Party Claims.

(a) If a third party commences or threatens a Proceeding (a “Third-Party Claim”) against any Buyer Indemnified Party or any Seller Indemnified Party (as that term is defined in Section 8.7 herein), as the case may be, (the “Indemnified Party”) with respect to any matter that the Indemnified Party is entitled to make a claim for indemnification against Seller or Buyer, as the case may be (the “Indemnifying Party”) under this Article VIII, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party thereof in writing of the existence of such Third-Party Claim and must deliver copies of any documents served on the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third-Party Claim to the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that any inadvertent failure to notify the Indemnifying Party or to deliver copies will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure.

(b) Upon receipt of the notice described in Section 8.5(a), the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend the Indemnified Party against the Third-Party Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party so long as (i) within ten days after receipt of such notice, the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing that the Indemnifying Party will, subject to the limitations of this Article VIII, indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against any Losses the Indemnified Party may incur relating to or arising out of the Third Party Claim; (ii) the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will have the financial resources to defend against the Third-Party Claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder; (iii) the Indemnifying Party is not a party to the Proceeding or the Indemnified Party has determined in good faith that there would be no conflict of interest or other inappropriate matter associated with joint representation; (iv) the Third-Party Claim does not involve, and is not likely to involve, any claim by any Governmental Body; (v) the Third-Party Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief; (vi) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Third-Party Claim is not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, likely to establish a precedential custom or practice adverse to the continuing business interests of the Indemnified Party; (vii) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third-Party Claim actively and diligently; and (viii) the Indemnifying Party keeps the Indemnified Party apprised of all developments, including settlement offers, with respect to the Third-Party Claim and permits the Indemnified Party to participate in the defense of the Third-Party Claim.

35

(c) So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of the Third-Party Claim in accordance with Section 8.5(b), (i) the Indemnifying Party shall not be responsible for any attorneys’ fees incurred by the Indemnified Party regarding the Third-Party Claim (other than attorneys’ fees incurred prior to the Indemnifying Party’s assumption of the defense pursuant to Section 8.5(b)); and (ii) neither the Indemnified Party nor the Indemnifying Party shall consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be withheld unreasonably.

(d) If any condition in Section 8.5(b) is or becomes unsatisfied, (i) the Indemnified Party may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to, the Third-Party Claim in any manner it may deem appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith); (ii) the Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Party promptly and periodically (but no less often than monthly) for the costs of defending against the Third-Party Claim, including attorneys’ fees and expenses; and (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall remain responsible for any Losses the Indemnified Party may incur relating to or arising out of the Third-Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in this Article VIII.

8.6 Other Indemnification Matters. Any claim for indemnification by the Buyer Indemnified Parties under this Article VIII must be asserted by providing written notice to Seller against whom indemnification is sought specifying the factual basis of the claim in reasonable detail to the extent then known by Buyer. Any claim for indemnification by Seller Indemnified Parties under this Article VIII must be asserted by providing written notice to Buyer specifying the factual basis of the claim in reasonable detail to the extent then known by Seller. All indemnification payments under this Article VIII shall be deemed adjustments to the Purchase Price and shall be allocated in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.3(f); provided that if an amount of such an adjustment cannot be reasonably allocated to a particular asset, such amount shall be allocated to the Goodwill. If any indemnification payment made pursuant to this Article VIII is deemed by the Excise Tax Act (Canada) to include goods and services tax or harmonized sales tax, or is deemed by any applicable Canadian provincial or territorial legislation to include a similar value added or multi-staged tax, the amount of such payment shall be increased accordingly. The right to indemnification will not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any Knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the date hereof, with respect to any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or agreement, will not affect the right to indemnification or any equitable remedy based on any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

8.7 Indemnification by Buyer. After the Closing and subject to the terms and conditions of this Article VIII, Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, managers, employees, members, directors, partners, shareholders, successors, heirs, assigns and agents (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from, and pay and reimburse Seller Indemnified Parties for, all Losses, directly or indirectly, resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, in connection with or caused by:

(a) any non-fulfilment or breach of any covenant or agreement on the part of Buyer contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or other document furnished by or on behalf of Buyer pursuant to this Agreement;

36

(b) any misrepresentation or any incorrectness in or breach of any representation or warranty of Buyer contained in this Agreement; and

(c) any claim by any Person claiming through or on behalf of Buyer arising out of or relating to any act or omission by Seller or any of the Principals or other Person in reliance upon instructions from or notices given by Buyer.

For purposes of this Article VIII, in determining whether Buyer has breached any representation or warranty made by Buyer in this Agreement, the terms “material”, “materially”, “in all material respects”, “material adverse effect”, dollar thresholds and similar qualifications shall be disregarded and given no effect.

8.8 Limitation on Liability. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any Transaction Document:

(a) except in the case of Fraud, the provisions of this Article VIII shall constitute the sole remedy to the Seller Indemnified Parties against Buyer with respect to any and all breaches of any agreement, covenant, representation or warranty made by Buyer in this Agreement or in any Transaction Document, other than any remedy based on equitable principles, including injunctive relief or specific performance, which shall not be limited by this Section 8.8.

(b) for the purposes of calculating Losses of the Seller Indemnified Parties, the principle to be applied is that the Seller Indemnified Parties are to be made whole and to be placed in the same position as they would have been in if the act, omission or state of affairs giving rise to the Loss indemnified against had not arisen.

(c) other than Losses arising from Fraud, or inaccuracy or breach of a Fundamental Representation, Buyer shall not be liable to the Seller Indemnified Parties for any Losses until the aggregate amount of all such Losses incurred by the Seller Indemnified Parties exceeds $100,000, whereupon Buyer shall be liable for all such Losses in excess of $100,000.

(d) except in the case of Fraud or inaccuracy or breach of a Fundamental Representation, the indemnification obligations of Buyer under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents shall not exceed the Final Purchase Price.

8.9 No Duplication. Any liability for indemnification under this Article VIII shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such liability constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement. For and in respect of the same matter or amount there shall be no duplication in recovery.

8.10 Trustee and Agent. Each of Buyer and Seller acknowledges that the other is acting as trustee and agent for the remaining Buyer Indemnified Parties or Seller Indemnified Parties as the case may be, on whose behalf and for whose benefit the indemnity in Section 8.1 or Section 8.7, as the case may be, is provided and that such remaining Buyer Indemnified Parties or Seller Indemnified Parties, as the case may be, shall have the full right and entitlement

37

to take the benefit of and enforce such indemnity notwithstanding that they may not individually be parties to this Agreement. Each of Buyer and Seller agrees that the other may enforce the indemnity for and on behalf of such remaining Buyer Indemnified Parties or Seller Indemnified Parties, as the case may be, and, in such event, the party from whom indemnification is sought will not in any proceeding to enforce the indemnity by or on behalf of such remaining Buyer Indemnified Parties or Seller Indemnified Parties, as the case may be, assert any defence thereto based on the absence of authority or consideration or privity of contract and each of Buyer and Seller irrevocably waives the benefit of any such defence.

ARTICLE IX.

MISCELLANEOUS

9.1 Further Assurances. Each Party agrees to furnish upon request to any other Party such further information, to execute and deliver to any other Party such other documents, and to do such other acts and things, all as any other Party may reasonably request for the purpose of carrying out the intent of the Transaction Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, if Seller or Buyer identifies after Closing an asset of Seller related to the Business that should have been delivered to Buyer as a Purchased Asset hereunder but was not (through inadvertence or otherwise), Seller will promptly deliver such asset to Buyer. Additionally, Seller agrees to use best efforts to transfer to Buyer the full benefit of the working relationships with all suppliers and customers of Seller.

9.2 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement does not confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the Parties, their respective successors and permitted assigns and, as expressly set forth in this Agreement, any Indemnified Party.

9.3 Entire Agreement. The Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter of the Transaction Documents and supersede all prior agreements (whether written or oral and whether express or implied) among the Parties to the extent related to the subject matter of the Transaction Documents (including any letter of intent or confidentiality agreement).

9.4 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and enure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective heirs, attorneys, guardians, estate trustees, executors, trustees, successors and permitted assigns. Seller may not assign, delegate or otherwise transfer (whether by operation of Law or otherwise) any of its rights, interests or obligations in or under this Agreement without the prior written approval of Buyer. Buyer may assign any or all of its rights or interests, or delegate any or all of its obligations, in or under this Agreement to (a) any successor to Buyer or any acquirer of a material portion of the businesses or assets of Buyer; (b) one or more of Buyer’s Affiliates; or (c) any lender to Buyer or its Affiliates as security for obligations to such lender.

9.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the Parties in multiple counterparts and shall be effective as of the date set forth above when each Party shall have executed and delivered a counterpart hereof, whether or not the same counterpart is executed and delivered by each Party. When so executed and delivered, each such counterpart shall be deemed an original and all such counterparts shall be deemed one and the same document. Transmission of images of signed signature pages by facsimile, e-mail or other electronic means shall have the same effect as the delivery of manually signed documents in person.

ARTICLE II.

PRE-CLOSING TRANSACTIONS; SALE AND PURCHASE

2.1 Pre-Closing Transactions.

(a) Prior to the Closing Time, the Principals will take or cause to be taken, as applicable, all actions and steps necessary or desirable to implement the Pre-Closing Transactions on a basis consistent with that set out in Schedule 2.1, including the sequencing of actions and events set forth therein. Buyer will cooperate with the Principals to the extent reasonably required of Buyer in order to effect the Pre-Closing Transactions in accordance with this Agreement. The Principals shall provide Buyer with full particulars of the Pre-Closing

(b) If at Closing there are any Restricted Rights in respect of which necessary consents, approvals, waivers or modifications have not been obtained, then Seller shall, at its expense, continue its efforts to obtain any necessary consents, approvals, waivers or modifications with respect to such Restricted Rights.

ARTICLE III.

PURCHASE PRICE

3.1 Purchase Price. Subject to Section 3.3(e), the aggregate purchase price to be paid by Buyer to Seller for the Purchased Assets shall be twenty million seven hundred and sixty-three thousand four hundred United States dollars (US$20,763,400) plus the amount of the Assumed Liabilities, (the “Purchase Price”) plus if the Closing Working Capital exceeds the Target Working Capital, the amount by which the Closing Working Capital exceeds the Target Working Capital, or less if the Target Working Capital exceeds the Closing Working Capital, the amount by which the Target Working Capital exceeds the Closing Working Capital. The Purchase Price was agreed to by Buyer and Seller based on an 8 times multiple of Adjusted EBITDA of the Business.

3.2 Satisfaction of Purchase Price. Buyer shall satisfy the Purchase Price at the Closing Time as follows:

3.3 Closing Statement and Final Determination of Purchase Price.

(a) As soon as reasonably practicable but not later than 90 days following the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller a statement consisting of the following as of immediately prior to the Closing Time, calculated on a basis consistent with the Seller’s past practice (and for certainty, with respect to Working Capital, calculated in accordance with the definition thereof): (i) the unaudited balance sheet of the Seller (the “Closing Balance Sheet”) and (ii) the Working Capital (the “Closing Working Capital”) (collectively, the “Closing Statement”).

(b) During the 90 day period following the Closing Date, Seller and its accounting representatives shall be entitled, during ordinary business hours upon reasonable advance notice, to examine the working papers related to the preparation of the Closing Statement and the Books and Records and to discuss the preparation of the Closing Statement with Buyer.

(c) Seller may dispute any amounts reflected on the Closing Statement (the “Disputed Amounts”), but only if (i) the basis of its dispute is that the amounts reflected on the Closing Statement were not arrived at in accordance with this Agreement, or resulted from a mistake of fact, and (ii) Seller shall have notified Buyer in writing of each disputed item (the “Notice of Objection”), specifying the amount thereof in dispute and setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for such dispute, within 30 days after the date Buyer delivered the Closing Statement to Seller. To the extent Seller does not dispute an amount reflected on the Closing Statement in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, such amount shall be deemed final and binding on the Parties for all purposes hereunder. In the event of such a dispute, Seller and Buyer shall attempt to reconcile their differences. If Seller and Buyer are unable to reach a resolution with such effect within 30 days after receipt by Buyer of the Notice of Objection, Seller and Buyer shall submit the items remaining in dispute for resolution to KPMG LLP (or, if such firm declines to act, to another nationally recognized independent public accounting firm mutually acceptable to Buyer and Seller) (the “Resolution Accountants”), which shall be instructed to use its best efforts to render a decision as to all items in dispute within 30 days after such submission. The Resolution Accountants shall only resolve the Disputed Amounts by choosing the amounts submitted by either Buyer or Seller or amounts in between. Buyer and Seller shall each furnish to the Resolution Accountants such working papers and other documents and information relating to the Disputed Amounts as the Resolution Accountants may request. The resolution of the Disputed Amounts by the Resolution Accountants shall be final and binding on the Parties for all purposes hereunder, and the determination of the Resolution Accountants shall constitute an arbitral award that is final, binding and unappealable and upon which a judgment may be entered by a court having jurisdiction. After final determination of the Closing Working Capital, Seller shall have no further right to make any claims in respect of any element of the foregoing amounts that Seller raised in the Notice of Objection. The fees and disbursements of the Resolution Accountants shall be allocated between Buyer and Seller in the same proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of unsuccessfully Disputed Amounts submitted by Buyer or Seller (as finally determined by the Resolution Accountants) bears to the total dollar amount of disputed items so submitted.

(d) The Closing Statement shall be deemed final for all purposes hereunder upon the earlier of (i) the absence of Seller delivering a Notice of Objection to Buyer within 30 days after the date Buyer delivered the Closing Statement to Seller, and (ii) the resolution of all Disputed Amounts pursuant to Section 3.3(c). The date on which the Closing Statement is finally determined in accordance with this Section 3.3(d) is hereinafter referred as to the “Determination Date”.

4

(e) Within three Business Days after the Determination Date:

(i) Buyer shall provide to Seller a calculation of the final Purchase Price (the “Final Purchase Price”) using the calculation set forth in Section 3.1;

(ii) if the Final Purchase Price (as so determined) is greater than the Purchase Price, Buyer shall pay to Seller the aggregate amount of the difference thereof, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account designated in writing by Seller; or

(iii) if the Purchase Price is greater than the Final Purchase Price (as so determined), Seller shall promptly pay to Buyer the aggregate amount of the difference thereof, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account designated in writing by Buyer, which obligation shall be a joint and several obligation of Seller and the Principals (or at Buyer’s election, Buyer may withdraw such amount from the Escrow Funds).

(f) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date and in any event not later than 90 days thereafter, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller a draft allocation of the Purchase Price among the Purchased Assets in accordance with fair market values, consistent with the principles set forth in Schedule 3.3(f) (the “Allocation Statement”). In the event that Seller does not object to the draft allocation proposed by Buyer within 30 days after the delivery of the Allocation Statement, Buyer and Seller shall use the Allocation Statement prepared and delivered by Buyer. In the event that Seller objects in good faith to the allocation proposed by Buyer, Seller shall so advise Buyer by delivery to Buyer of a notice (the “Objection Notice”) within 30 days after the delivery to Seller of the Allocation Statement. The Objection Notice shall set out an alternative allocation proposed by Seller. Seller and Buyer shall endeavour in good faith to resolve any disagreement within the later of: (i) 30 days of the delivery of the Objection Notice; and (ii) 30 days after the delivery of the Closing Statement. If Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve their disagreements within such time, each of Buyer and Seller shall use its own allocation. Except as may be required by Law, Buyer and Seller agree to report the allocation of the Purchase Price among the Purchased Assets in the preparation and filing of all Tax Returns in accordance with this Section 3.3(f).

(g) The amount of any payment pursuant to Section 3.3(e) shall be deemed an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all purposes hereunder, including for purposes of the final consideration payable hereunder, and shall be allocated in accordance with Section 3.3(f).

(h) The final determination of the Final Purchase Price pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.3 shall be conclusive for purposes of the operation of the provisions hereof, but neither the provisions hereof nor the resolution of the final determination of the Final Purchase Price pursuant hereto shall affect any rights of Buyer to indemnification to the extent provided for under, and subject to the limitations contained in, Article IX, or preclude the Parties from treating any indemnification payments received by Buyer or Seller as adjustments to the Final Purchase Price for Tax, accounting or other purposes.

5

3.4 Escrow Agreement.

(a) At Closing, Buyer, Seller and the Escrow Agent shall enter into the Escrow Agreement in order to establish terms and conditions regarding the treatment of the Escrow Funds.

(b) The Parties agree that: (i) 50% of the Escrow Amount shall be released to Seller on the Tranche 1 Release Date; and (ii) 50% of the Escrow Amount shall be released to Seller on the Tranche 2 Release Date, in each case, in accordance with this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement; provided, that if there are any indemnification claims hereunder for Losses of the Buyer Indemnified Parties that are properly pending on either of the Tranche 1 Release Date or the Tranche 2 Release Date, as applicable, an amount equal to the amount of all such claims shall be withheld from the amount otherwise distributable on such date and shall be retained as Escrow Funds and shall not be released until such claims are finally resolved and satisfied or are otherwise released pursuant to a joint direction of Buyer and Seller. All fees and charges of the Escrow Agent and otherwise incurred under the Escrow Agreement shall be borne equally by Buyer and Seller. Buyer shall be entitled to offset against and collect from the Escrow Funds any amounts due and owing to Buyer, but unpaid, by Seller pursuant to Section 3.3(e), this Section 3.4, Section 8.11 or Article IX; provided, that such offset shall not relieve Seller from any obligation due under any of the foregoing Sections or Articles. Interest and investment returns (net of investment losses) accruing on the Escrow Amount shall accrue to the benefit of Seller and shall be paid to Seller annually on the anniversary date of the Closing. Seller shall include all such interest and investment income in computing its income for Tax purposes.

(c) The Escrow Funds shall be held in escrow and shall not be subject to any Encumbrance, and shall be held and disbursed solely for the purposes and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. Upon the final release of all of the Escrow Funds, the Escrow Agreement shall terminate.

(d) Subject to applicable Law, Seller shall provide to Buyer, as soon as practicable after such time as an Employee becomes a Transferred Employee, such data, records, documentation and information relating to such Transferred Employee and his or her participating in the Benefit Plans as Buyer may request, provided such data, records, documentation or information is reasonably required for the administration of Buyer Benefit Plans.

8.15 Section 56.4 Agreement. The Parties agree that no portion of the Purchase Price shall be allocated to the Non-Competition Agreements. The Parties further agree that the Non-Competition Agreements can reasonably be regarded to have been granted to maintain or preserve the fair market value of the Purchased Assets. Therefore, the Parties intend that subsections 56.4(5) and 56.4(7) of the Tax Act and the equivalent provisions of any provincial

31

legislation apply to this Agreement and the Non-Competition Agreements. The Parties further agree that Buyer and Seller shall execute and file in prescribed form and on a timely basis any election required to ensure that subsections 56.4(5) and 56.4(7) of the Tax Act and the equivalent provisions of any provincial legislation apply in respect of this Agreement and the Non-Competition Agreements.

8.16 Seller’s Future Actions. After the Closing, Seller and the Principals shall not, directly or indirectly, take any action which may adversely affect Buyer’s ownership of, or the validity or enforceability of, the Preferred Shares or the Purchased Assets.

8.17 Other Post-Closing Actions. Following the Closing Time, the Principals will take or cause to be taken, as applicable, all actions and steps necessary or desirable to implement the Post-Closing Transactions on a basis consistent with that set out in Schedule 8.17, including the sequencing of actions and events set forth therein. Buyer will cooperate with the Principals to the extent reasonably required of Buyer in order to effect the Post-Closing Transactions in accordance with this Agreement.

ARTICLE IX.

INDEMNIFICATION

9.1 Indemnification by Seller and Principals. After the Closing and subject to the terms and conditions of this Article IX, Seller and each Principal shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, managers, employees, members, directors, partners, shareholders, successors, heirs, assigns and agents (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from, and pay and reimburse the Buyer Indemnified Parties for, all Losses, directly or indirectly, resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, in connection with or caused by:

(a) any non-fulfilment or breach of any covenant or agreement on the part of Seller or any of the Principals contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or other document furnished by or on behalf of Seller or any of the Principals pursuant to this Agreement;

(b) any misrepresentation or any incorrectness in or breach of any representation or warranty of Seller or any of the Principals contained in this Agreement;

(c) any claim by any Person claiming through or on behalf of Seller or any of the Principals arising out of or relating to any act or omission by Buyer or any other Person in reliance upon instructions from or notices given by Seller or any of the Principals;

(d) warranty obligations to third parties with respect to any products sold or services provided by Seller prior to the Closing Date;

(e) any Liabilities of Seller not forming part of the Assumed Liabilities; and

(f) the failure to obtain any necessary Consents for any Restricted Rights referred to in Section 2.5, including any Losses relating to any resultant termination of any such Restricted Rights or any increase of obligations or decrease of rights or entitlements of Buyer.

32

For purposes of this Article IX, in determining whether Seller or any of the Principals have breached any representation or warranty made by Seller or such Principal in this Agreement, the terms “material”, “materially”, “in all material respects”, “Material Adverse Effect”, dollar thresholds and similar qualifications shall be disregarded and given no effect.

9.2 Limitation on Liability. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any Transaction Document:

(a) Except in the case of Fraud, the provisions of this Article IX shall constitute the sole remedy to the Buyer Indemnified Parties against Seller and the Principals with respect to any and all breaches of any agreement, covenant, representation or warranty made by Seller or any of the Principals in this Agreement or in any Transaction Document, other than any remedy based on equitable principles, including injunctive relief or specific performance, which shall not be limited by this Section 9.2.

(b) For the purposes of calculating Losses of the Buyer Indemnified Parties, the principle to be applied is that the Buyer Indemnified Parties are to be made whole and to be placed in the same position as it would have been in if the act, omission or state of affairs giving rise to the Loss indemnified against had not arisen, and by way of example, to the extent that any Loss indemnified against hereunder (or the event giving rise to the same): (i) creates, gives rise to or otherwise has the result of conferring upon a Buyer Indemnified Party, any tax deduction, tax credit or tax relief (but only to the extent that any such tax deduction, tax credit or tax relief has, prior to the receipt of the applicable indemnification payment, resulted in a direct reduction of the Taxes payable by a Buyer Indemnified Party or will result in a direct reduction of the Taxes payable by a Buyer Indemnified Party in the taxation year in which the applicable indemnification payment is received by a Buyer Indemnified Party) or (ii) results in any recovery pursuant to any insurance coverage, the same shall be taken into account in the calculation of the Loss of the Buyer Indemnified Parties. Similarly, if the receipt of an indemnification payment by a Buyer Indemnified Party will result in an increase in the Taxes payable by a Buyer Indemnified Party and/or a decrease in the Tax attributes of a Buyer Indemnified Party (over and above what the position of the Buyer Indemnified Party would have been if the act, omission or state of affairs giving rise to the Loss indemnified against had not arisen), the amount of such indemnification payment shall be increased so that the amount of the indemnification payment received by the Buyer Indemnified Parties, after deducting the amount of such increase in Taxes payable and/or decrease in Tax attributes, is equal to the amount they would have received if there had been no such increase in Taxes payable and/or decrease in Tax attributes as a result of the receipt of such indemnification payment. For clarity, if any amount in respect of an inaccuracy in any of the representations and warranties made by Seller or breach of any covenants of Seller was reflected in the Closing Working Capital (excluding any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income), then such inaccuracy or breach shall not give rise to an indemnification obligation under this Article IX to the extent of the amount so reflected in the Closing Statement.

(c) Other than Losses arising from Fraud or inaccuracy or breach of a Fundamental Representation, Seller and the Principals shall not be liable to the Buyer Indemnified Parties for any Losses until the aggregate amount of all such Losses incurred by the Buyer Indemnified Parties exceeds $100,000, whereupon Seller and the Principals shall be liable for all such Losses in excess of $100,000.

33

9.3 Survival and Time Limitations.

(a) All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Seller and the Principals in this Agreement, any Transaction Document and any other certificate or document delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing. Except in the case of Fraud, Seller and the Principals shall not have any Liability with respect to any claim for any breach or inaccuracy of any representation that is not a Fundamental Representation or any breach of a covenant or agreement in this Agreement to be performed and complied with as of the Closing Date (but not including any agreement or covenant to be performed or complied with at or after the Closing) unless Buyer notifies Seller of such a claim on or before the date that is two years after the Closing Date. Seller and the Principals shall not have any Liability with respect to any claim for any breach or inaccuracy of any Tax Representation unless Buyer notifies Seller of such a claim on or before the date that is 90 days after the expiration of the applicable statute or period of limitations (including any extension of such statute or period of limitations). Any claim for any breach or inaccuracy of a Title Representation or breach of an agreement or covenant to be performed or complied with at or after the Closing may be made at any time before the last day of the ultimate limitation period permitted by applicable Law. No party shall have any liability or obligation of any nature with respect to any representation, warranty, agreement or covenant after the termination thereof, except with respect to a claim for indemnification under this Article IX if written notice thereof has been given in accordance with the provisions hereof by Buyer to Seller prior to the end of the applicable survival period set forth in this Section 9.3(a). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if such written notice has been given in accordance with the provisions hereof and prior to the termination of the applicable representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, then the relevant representations, warranties, covenants and agreements shall survive as to such claim until the claim has been finally resolved.

(b) All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Buyer in this Agreement, any Transaction Document and any other certificate or document delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing. Except in the case of Fraud, Buyer shall not have any Liability with respect to any claim for any breach or inaccuracy of any representation and warranty of Buyer or any breach of a covenant or agreement in this Agreement to be performed and complied with as of the Closing Date (but not including any agreement or covenant to be performed or complied with at or after the Closing) unless Seller notifies Buyer of such a claim on or before the date that is two years after the Closing Date. Any claim for any breach of an agreement or covenant to be performed or complied with at or after the Closing may be made at any time before the last day of the ultimate limitation period permitted by applicable Law. No party shall have any liability or obligation of any nature with respect to any representation, warranty, agreement or covenant after the termination thereof, except with respect to a claim for indemnification under this Article IX if written notice thereof has been given in accordance with the provisions hereof by Seller to Buyer prior to the end of the applicable survival period set forth in this Section 9.3(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if such written notice has been given in accordance with the provisions hereof and prior to the termination of the applicable representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, then the relevant representations, warranties, covenants and agreements shall survive as to such claim until the claim has been finally resolved.

34

9.4 Manner of Payment.

(a) Buyer may set off all or any portion of any amount to which any Buyer Indemnified Party may be entitled under this Article IX against any amount otherwise payable (other than amounts payable under, or pursuant to, the Employment Agreement) by Buyer or any of its Affiliates to Seller. The exercise of such set-off right in good faith shall not constitute a breach or event of default under this Agreement or any Contract relating to any amount against which the set-off is applied. In addition to, and not in limitation of Buyer’s right of set-off under this Section 9.4, Buyer may elect in its sole discretion to recover all or any portion of any amount to which any Buyer Indemnified Party may be entitled under this Article IX from the Escrow Funds until such funds are exhausted and then may, subject to the other limitations contained in this Article IX, recover any additional amount to which any Buyer Indemnified Party is entitled under this Article IX directly from Seller and/or the Principals.

(b) Buyer and Seller hereby agree to provide joint instructions to the Escrow Agent on a timely basis so that distributions from the Escrow Funds can be made by the Escrow Agent to the applicable Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party in accordance with this Section 9.4 unless the entitlement of the Buyer Indemnified Parties or Seller Indemnified Parties, as applicable, in respect of such Loss is in dispute.

9.5 Third-Party Claims.

(a) If a third party commences or threatens a Proceeding (a “Third-Party Claim”) against any Buyer Indemnified Party (the “Indemnified Party”) with respect to any matter that the Indemnified Party is entitled to make a claim for indemnification against Seller (the “Indemnifying Party”) under this Article IX, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party thereof in writing of the existence of such Third-Party Claim and must deliver copies of any documents served on the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third-Party Claim to the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that any failure to notify the Indemnifying Party or to deliver copies will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure.

(b) Upon receipt of the notice described in Section 9.5(a), the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend the Indemnified Party against the Third-Party Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party so long as (i) within ten days after receipt of such notice, the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing that the Indemnifying Party will, subject to the limitations of this Article IX, indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against any Losses the Indemnified Party may incur relating to or arising out of the Third Party Claim; (ii) the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will have the financial resources to defend against the Third-Party Claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder; (iii) the Indemnifying Party is not a party to the Proceeding or the Indemnified Party has determined in good faith that there would be no conflict of interest or other inappropriate matter associated with joint representation; (iv) the Third-Party Claim does not involve, and is not likely to involve, any claim by any Governmental Body; (v) the Third-Party

35

Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief; (vi) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Third-Party Claim is not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, likely to establish a precedential custom or practice adverse to the continuing business interests of the Indemnified Party; (vii) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third-Party Claim actively and diligently; and (viii) the Indemnifying Party keeps the Indemnified Party apprised of all developments, including settlement offers, with respect to the Third-Party Claim and permits the Indemnified Party to participate in the defense of the Third-Party Claim.

(c) So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of the Third-Party Claim in accordance with Section 9.5(b), (i) the Indemnifying Party shall not be responsible for any attorneys’ fees incurred by the Indemnified Party regarding the Third-Party Claim (other than attorneys’ fees incurred prior to the Indemnifying Party’s assumption of the defense pursuant to Section 9.5(b)); and (ii) neither the Indemnified Party nor the Indemnifying Party shall consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be withheld unreasonably.

(d) If any condition in Section 9.5(b) is or becomes unsatisfied, (i) the Indemnified Party may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to, the Third-Party Claim in any manner it may deem appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith); (ii) the Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Party promptly and periodically (but no less often than monthly) for the costs of defending against the Third-Party Claim, including attorneys’ fees and expenses; and (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall remain responsible for any Losses the Indemnified Party may incur relating to or arising out of the Third-Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in this Article IX.

9.6 Other Indemnification Matters. Any claim for indemnification by the Buyer Indemnified Parties under this Article IX must be asserted by providing written notice to Seller against whom indemnification is sought specifying the factual basis of the claim in reasonable detail to the extent then known by Buyer. Any claim for indemnification by Seller Indemnified Parties under this Article IX must be asserted by providing written notice to Buyer specifying the factual basis of the claim in reasonable detail to the extent then known by Seller. All indemnification payments under this Article IX shall be deemed adjustments to the Purchase Price and shall be allocated in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.3(f); provided that if an amount of such an adjustment cannot be reasonably allocated to a particular asset, such amount shall be allocated to the Goodwill. If any indemnification payment made pursuant to this Article IX is deemed by the Excise Tax Act (Canada) to include goods and services tax or harmonized sales tax, or is deemed by any applicable Canadian provincial or territorial legislation to include a similar value added or multi-staged tax, the amount of such payment shall be increased accordingly. The right to indemnification will not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any Knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the date hereof, with respect to any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or agreement, will not affect the right to indemnification or any equitable remedy based on any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

36

9.7 Indemnification by Buyer. After the Closing and subject to the terms and conditions of this Article IX, Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, managers, employees, members, directors, partners, shareholders, successors, heirs, assigns and agents (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from, and pay and reimburse Seller Indemnified Parties for, all Losses, directly or indirectly, resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, in connection with or caused by any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by Buyer in this Agreement or any Transaction Document. Except in the case of Fraud, (i) the indemnification obligations of Buyer under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents shall not exceed the Final Purchase Price; and (ii) Buyer shall not be liable to the Seller Indemnified Parties for any Losses until the aggregate amount of all such Losses incurred by the Seller Indemnified Parties exceeds $100,000, whereupon Buyer shall be liable for all such Losses in excess of $100,000.

9.8 No Duplication. Any liability for indemnification under this Article IX shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such liability constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement. For and in respect of the same matter or amount there shall be no duplication in recovery.

9.9 Trustee and Agent. Each of Buyer and Seller acknowledges that the other is acting as trustee and agent for the remaining Buyer Indemnified Parties or Seller Indemnified Parties as the case may be, on whose behalf and for whose benefit the indemnity in Section 9.1 or Section 9.7, as the case may be, is provided and that such remaining Buyer Indemnified Parties or Seller Indemnified Parties, as the case may be, shall have the full right and entitlement to take the benefit of and enforce such indemnity notwithstanding that they may not individually be parties to this Agreement. Each of Buyer and Seller agrees that the other may enforce the indemnity for and on behalf of such remaining Buyer Indemnified Parties or Seller Indemnified Parties, as the case may be, and, in such event, the party from whom indemnification is sought will not in any proceeding to enforce the indemnity by or on behalf of such remaining Buyer Indemnified Parties or Seller Indemnified Parties, as the case may be, assert any defence thereto based on the absence of authority or consideration or privity of contract and each of Buyer and Seller irrevocably waives the benefit of any such defence.

ARTICLE X.

MISCELLANEOUS

10.1 Further Assurances. Each Party agrees to furnish upon request to any other Party such further information, to execute and deliver to any other Party such other documents, and to do such other acts and things, all as any other Party may reasonably request for the purpose of carrying out the intent of the Transaction Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, if Seller or Buyer identifies after Closing an asset of Seller related to the Business that should have been delivered to Buyer as a Purchased Asset hereunder but was not (through inadvertence or otherwise), Seller will promptly deliver such asset to Buyer. Additionally, Seller agrees to use best efforts to transfer to Buyer the full benefit of the working relationships with all suppliers and customers of Seller.

10.2 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement does not confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the Parties, their respective successors and permitted assigns and, as expressly set forth in this Agreement, any Indemnified Party.

10.9 Amendments and Waivers. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless the amendment is in writing and signed by Buyer and Seller. No investigations made by or on behalf of Buyer at any time shall have the effect of waiving, diminishing the scope or otherwise affecting any representation or warranty made by Seller or any of the Principals in or pursuant to this Agreement. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless the waiver is in writing and signed by the waiving Party. The failure of a Party at any time to require performance of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect such Party’s rights at a later time to enforce such provision. No waiver by any Party of any breach of this Agreement shall be deemed to extend to any other breach hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any other breach.

10.10 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof or the invalid or unenforceable provision in any

39

other situation or in any other jurisdiction. Any provision of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree shall remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable.

10.11 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Party shall pay all costs and expenses (including the fees and disbursements of legal counsel and other advisors) it incurs in connection with the negotiation, preparation and execution of this Agreement and the Transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall reimburse Seller for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with the preparation of the Audited Financial Statements.

10.12 Construction. The Article and Section headings in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and are not intended to affect the interpretation of this Agreement. Any reference in this Agreement to any Article or Section refers to the corresponding Article or Section of this Agreement. Any reference in this Agreement to any Schedule or Exhibit refers to the corresponding Schedule or Exhibit attached to this Agreement and all such Schedules and Exhibits are incorporated herein by reference. The word “including” in this Agreement means “including without limitation”. Unless otherwise specified, all references to “$” or “dollars” shall be deemed reference to be Canadian dollars. This Agreement shall be construed as having been drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favouring or disfavouring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any provision in this Agreement. Unless the context requires otherwise, any reference to any Law shall be deemed also to refer to all amendments and successor provisions thereto and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, in each case as in effect as of the date hereof and the Closing Date. All accounting terms not specifically defined in this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with GAAP as in effect on the date hereof (unless another date is specified herein). The word “or” in this Agreement is disjunctive but not necessarily exclusive. All words in this Agreement shall be construed to be of such gender or number as the circumstances require. References in this Agreement to time periods in terms of a certain number of days mean calendar days unless expressly stated herein to be Business Days. In interpreting and enforcing this Agreement, each representation and warranty shall be given independent significance of fact and will not be deemed superseded or modified by any other such representation or warranty.

10.13 Schedules. Nothing in the schedules attached hereto shall be deemed adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made herein, unless such schedule identifies the exception with reasonable particularity and describes the relevant facts in detail. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the mere listing (or inclusion of a copy) of a document or other item shall not be deemed adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made herein (unless the representation or warranty pertains to the existence of the document or other item itself). The schedules hereto will be arranged in sections and subsections corresponding to the numbered and lettered sections and subsections contained in this Agreement. To the extent that it is reasonably apparent on the face of the schedule that an exception disclosed in a schedule relating to a particular section or subsection of this Agreement also applies to one or more additional sections or subsections of this Agreement, such exception shall be deemed to apply to such additional sections or subsections so identified.

10.14 Currency. Payments made between Buyer and Seller pursuant to Section 3.1 and Section 3.3(e) hereof on account of price and price adjustments shall be made in U.S. Dollars. All other payments between the Parties, including claims for indemnity (excepting indemnities

40

for Losses which by their nature are necessarily calculated in U.S. dollars) shall be made in Canadian dollars. Seller and Buyer, at their joint direction may require conversion of all of the Escrow Funds into Canadian dollars at any time following their receipt and shall instruct the Escrow Agent accordingly. In the calculation of any amounts required to be included in the price adjustments to be made by the Parties under Section 3.3(e), any required conversion from Canadian dollars to United States dollars shall be at US$1 = C$1.0766.

10.15 Independent Legal Advice.

Unless otherwise consented to by the Term Collateral Agent, Capital Stock required to be pledged hereunder in any Subsidiary (other than a Foreign Subsidiary) that is organized as a limited liability company or limited partnership and pledged hereunder shall either (i) be represented by a certificate, and in the organizational documents of such entity, the applicable Grantor shall cause the issuer of such interests to elect to treat such interests as a “security” within the meaning of Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code of its jurisdiction of organization or formation, as applicable, by including in its organizational documents language substantially similar to the following and, accordingly, such interests shall be governed by Article 8 of the UCC:

Each certificate evidencing [partnership/membership] interests in the [partnership/limited liability company] shall bear the following legend: “This certificate evidences an interest in [name of [partnership/limited liability company]] and shall be a security for purposes of Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code.” No change to this provision shall be effective until all outstanding certificates have been surrendered for cancellation and any new certificates thereafter issued shall not bear the foregoing legend.”

or (ii) not have elected to be treated as a “security” within the meaning of Article 8 of the UCC and shall not be represented by a certificate.

Section 4.06 Pledged Collateral.

(a) Registration in Nominee Name; Denominations.

(i) without in any way limiting the foregoing and subject to clause (ii) below, each Grantor shall have the right to exercise all voting rights or other rights relating to the Pledged Collateral for all purposes not inconsistent with this Security Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other Term Document; provided, however, that no vote or other right shall be exercised or action taken which would reasonably be expected to have the effect of materially and adversely impairing the rights of the Term Collateral Agent in respect of the Pledged Collateral.

- 13 -

(ii) each Grantor will permit the Term Collateral Agent (or its non-fiduciary agent or designee) at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without written notice, to exercise all voting rights or other rights relating to Pledged Collateral, including, without limitation, exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges, or options pertaining to any Capital Stock or Investment Property constituting Pledged Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof.

(iii) each Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends, interest and other distributions paid on or distributed in respect of the Pledged Collateral to the extent and only to the extent that such dividends, interest, principal and other distributions are permitted by, and otherwise paid or distributed in accordance with, the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, the other Term Documents and applicable law; provided, however, that any non-cash dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that would constitute Pledged Collateral, whether resulting from a subdivision, combination or reclassification of the outstanding Capital Stock of the issuer of any Pledged Collateral or received in exchange for Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, or in redemption thereof, or as a result of any merger, consolidation, acquisition or other exchange of assets to which such issuer may be a party or otherwise, shall be and become part of the Pledged Collateral, and, if received by any Grantor, shall not be commingled by such Grantor with any of its other funds or property but shall be held separate and apart therefrom, shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Term Secured Parties and shall be forthwith delivered to the Term Collateral Agent or the Notes Collateral Agent (or their respective non-fiduciary agents or designees) in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement or instrument of assignment). The proviso to the first sentence of this clause (iii) shall not apply to dividends between or among the Company and the other Grantors only of property subject to a perfected security interest under this Security Agreement; provided that the Company notifies the Term Collateral Agent in writing, specifically referring to this Section 4.06, at the time of such dividend and takes any actions the Term Collateral Agent reasonably specifies to ensure the continuance of its perfected security interest in such property under this Security Agreement.

Section 4.07 Intellectual Property.

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all consents and approvals necessary or appropriate for the assignment to or for the benefit of the Term Collateral Agent of any License held by such Grantor in order to enforce the security interests granted hereunder.

(b) Each Grantor shall in its reasonable business judgment notify the Term Collateral Agent promptly if it knows or reasonably expects that any application or registration relating to any Patent, Trademark or Copyright (now or hereafter existing) included in the Collateral and material to the conduct of such Grantor’s business may become abandoned or dedicated, or of any material adverse determination or development (including the institution of, or any such determination or development in, any proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any court) regarding such Grantor’s ownership of any such material registered or applied for Patent, Trademark or Copyright, its right to register the same, or to keep and maintain the same.

(c) In the event that any Grantor, either directly or through any agent, employee, licensee or designee, files an application for the registration of any material Patent, Trademark or Copyright with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office, such Grantor will, concurrently with any delivery of financial statements pursuant to Section 6.01(a) or (b) of the Credit Agreement, provide the Term Collateral Agent written notice thereof, and, upon request

- 14 -

of the Term Collateral Agent, such Grantor shall promptly execute and deliver any and all security agreements or other instruments as the Term Collateral Agent may reasonably request to evidence the Term Collateral Agent’s security interest in such Patent, Trademark or Copyright and the General Intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby.

(d) Each Grantor shall take all actions necessary or reasonably requested by the Term Collateral Agent to maintain and pursue each material application, to obtain the relevant registration and to maintain the registration of each of the Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights (now or hereafter existing) material to the conduct of such Grantor’s business, except in cases where, in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, such Grantor reasonably decides to abandon, allow to lapse or expire any Patent, Trademark or Copyright, including the filing of applications for renewal, affidavits of use, affidavits of non-contestability and, if consistent with good business judgment, to initiate opposition and interference and cancellation proceedings against third parties.

(f) Nothing in this Security Agreement shall prevent any Grantor from disposing of, discontinuing the use or maintenance of, failing to pursue, or otherwise allowing to lapse, terminate or put into the public domain, any of its Collateral constituting Intellectual Property to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement if such Grantor determines in its reasonable business judgment that such discontinuance is desirable in the conduct of its business.

Section 4.08 Commercial Tort Claims. Each Grantor shall promptly notify the Term Collateral Agent of any Commercial Tort Claims for which such Grantor has filed complaint(s) in court(s) of competent jurisdiction and, unless the Term Collateral Agent otherwise consents, such Grantor shall update Exhibit E to this Security Agreement, thereby granting to the Term Collateral Agent a security interest in such Commercial Tort Claim(s) (subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements). The requirement in the preceding sentence shall not apply to the extent that the amount of such Commercial Tort Claim does not exceed $2,500,000 held by each Grantor or to the extent such Grantor shall have previously notified the Term Collateral Agent with respect to any previously held or acquired Commercial Tort Claim.

Section 4.09 Letter-of-Credit Rights. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreements, if any Grantor is or becomes the beneficiary of a letter of credit having a face amount in excess of $2,500,000 which Letter-of-Credit Rights are not Supporting Obligations with respect to any Collateral in which the security interest is perfected, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Term Collateral Agent thereof and cause the issuer and/or confirmation bank to (i) consent to the assignment of any Letter-of-Credit Rights to the Term Collateral Agent and (ii) agree to direct all payments thereunder following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default to an account as directed by the Term Collateral Agent for application to the Term Obligations, in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Term Document, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Term Collateral Agent.

ARTICLE V

REMEDIES

Section 5.01 Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(a) The Term Collateral Agent may exercise any or all of the following rights and remedies:

(i) those rights and remedies provided in this Security Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other Term Document; provided that this Section 5.01(a) shall not be understood to limit any rights available to the Term Collateral Agent and the Term Secured Parties prior to an Event of Default;

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

(iii) give notice of sole control or any other instruction under any Blocked Account Agreement or any other control or similar agreement and take any action provided therein with respect to the applicable Collateral;

(iv) without notice (except as specifically provided in Section 7.01 or elsewhere herein), demand or advertisement of any kind to any Grantor or any other Person, enter the premises of any Grantor where any Collateral is located (through self-help and without judicial process) to collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate, sell, lease, assign, grant an option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of, deliver, or realize upon, the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales (which sales may be adjourned or continued from time to time with or without notice and may take place at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere), for cash, on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, and upon such other terms as the Term Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable; and

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

(b) Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that the compliance by the Term Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Term Secured Parties with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

- 16 -

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

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

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

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

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any rights and remedies provided in this Section 5.01 shall be subject to the Intercreditor Agreements.

Section 5.02 Application of Proceeds. The Term Collateral Agent shall apply the proceeds of any collection or sale of the Collateral as well as any Collateral consisting of cash, at any time after receipt during the continuation of an Event of Default as follows:

(i) first, to the payment of all reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred by the Term Collateral Agent in connection with such collection or sale or otherwise in connection with this Security Agreement, the other Term Documents or any of the Term Obligations, including all court costs and the reasonable fees and expenses of its agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all advances made by the Term Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Term Document on behalf of any Grantor and any other reasonable and documented costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Term Document;

- 17 -

(ii) second, in accordance with the Equal Priority Intercreditor Agreement; and

(iii) third, any surplus then remaining shall be paid to the Grantors or their successors or assigns or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct

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

Section 5.03 Grantors’ Obligations Upon Default. Upon the written request of the Term Collateral Agent after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor will:

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

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

Section 5.04 Grant of Intellectual Property License. For the purpose of enabling the Term Collateral Agent to exercise the rights and remedies under this Article V upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at such time as the Term Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby: (a) grants to the Term Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Term Collateral Agent and the Term Secured Parties, an irrevocable nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor) to use, license or sublicense any intellectual property rights now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, wherever the same may be located, and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof; provided, however that such licenses to be granted hereunder with respect to Trademarks shall be subject to the maintenance of quality standards with respect to the goods and services on which such Trademarks are used sufficient to preserve the validity of such Trademarks; and provided further that the Term Collateral Agent shall have no greater rights than those of any such Grantor under such license or sublicense; and (b) irrevocably agrees that, at any time and from time to time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Term Collateral Agent may (if such Inventory is or is intended to comprise part of the Collateral) sell any Grantor’s Inventory directly to any Person, including without limitation Persons who have previously purchased any Grantor’s Inventory from such Grantor and in connection with any such sale or other enforcement of the Term Collateral Agent’s rights under this Security Agreement, may (subject to any restrictions contained in applicable third party licenses entered into by a Grantor) sell any such Inventory which bears any Trademark owned by or licensed to any Grantor and any Inventory that is covered by any Copyright owned by or licensed to such Grantor and the Term Collateral Agent may finish any work in

- 18 -

process and affix any relevant Trademark owned by or licensed to any Grantor and sell such Inventory as provided herein. The use of the license granted pursuant to clause (a) of the preceding sentence by the Term Collateral Agent may be exercised, at the option of the Term Collateral Agent, only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default; provided, however, that any permitted license, sublicense or other transaction entered into by the Term Collateral Agent in accordance herewith shall be binding upon each Grantor notwithstanding any subsequent cure of an Event of Default.

Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Term Collateral Agent under this Security Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Term Collateral Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Term Collateral Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Security Agreement shall, as between the Term Collateral Agent and the Term Secured Parties, be governed by the Equal Priority Intercreditor Agreement, and by such

- 20 -

other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Term Collateral Agent and the Grantors, the Term Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the applicable Term Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

ARTICLE VII

GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 7.01 Waivers. Each Grantor hereby waives notice of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral may be made. To the extent such notice may not be waived under applicable law, any notice made shall be deemed reasonable if sent to the Grantors, addressed as set forth in Article VIII, at least ten days prior to (i) the date of any such public sale or (ii) the time after which any such private sale or other disposition may be made. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages, and demands against the Term Collateral Agent or any Term Secured Party arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral (after the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default), except such as arise solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Term Collateral Agent or such Term Secured Party as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent it may lawfully do so, each Grantor absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against the Term Collateral Agent or any Term Secured Party, any valuation, stay, appraisal, extension, moratorium, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety now or hereafter existing which, but for this provision, might be applicable to the sale of any Collateral (after the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default), made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, or privately under the power of sale conferred by this Security Agreement, or otherwise. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each Grantor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Security Agreement or any Collateral.

Section 7.02 Limitation on Term Collateral Agent’s and Term Secured Party’s Duty with Respect to the Collateral. The Term Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. The Term Collateral Agent and each Term Secured Party shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its control. Neither the Term Collateral Agent nor any Term Secured Party shall have any other duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of the Term Collateral Agent or such Term Secured Party, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Term Collateral Agent to exercise remedies, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it would be commercially reasonable for the Term Collateral Agent (i) to fail to incur expenses deemed significant by the Term Collateral Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to transform raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as a Grantor, for

- 21 -

expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements at the Grantors’ cost to insure the Term Collateral Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Term Collateral Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Term Collateral Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Term Collateral Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 7.02 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Term Collateral Agent would be commercially reasonable in the Term Collateral Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and that other actions or omissions by the Term Collateral Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 7.02. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 7.02 shall be construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose any duties on the Term Collateral Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Security Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 7.02.

Section 7.03 Compromises and Collection of Collateral. Each Grantor and the Term Collateral Agent recognize that setoffs, counterclaims, defenses and other claims may be asserted by obligors with respect to certain of the Receivables, that certain of the Receivables may be or become uncollectible in whole or in part and that the expense and probability of success in litigating a disputed Receivable may exceed the amount that reasonably may be expected to be recovered with respect to a Receivable. In view of the foregoing, each Grantor agrees that the Term Collateral Agent may at any time and from time to time, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, compromise with the obligor on any Receivable, accept in full payment of any Receivable such amount as the Term Collateral Agent in its sole discretion shall determine or abandon any Receivable, and any such action by the Term Collateral Agent shall be commercially reasonable so long as the Term Collateral Agent acts in good faith based on information known to it at the time it takes any such action.

Section 7.04 Term Secured Party Performance of Debtor Obligations. Without having any obligation to do so, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Term Collateral Agent may perform or pay any obligation which any Grantor has agreed to perform or pay under this Security Agreement, and such Grantor shall reimburse the Term Collateral Agent for any amounts paid by the Term Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 7.04. Each Grantor’s obligation to reimburse the Term Collateral Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be a Term Obligation payable on demand.

Section 7.05 No Waiver; Amendments; Cumulative Remedies. No failure or delay by the Term Collateral Agent or any Term Secured Party in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Term Collateral Agent and the Term Secured Parties hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Security Agreement or consent to any departure by any Term Secured Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless in writing signed by the Term Collateral Agent with the concurrence or at the direction of the parties required under Section 4.05(d) of the Equal Priority Intercreditor Agreement, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.

- 22 -

Section 7.06 Limitation by Law; Severability of Provisions. All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Security Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provision of law, and all the provisions of this Security Agreement are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law that may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they shall not render this Security Agreement invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded or registered, in whole or in part. Any provision in this Security Agreement that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable or invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions in that jurisdiction or the operation, enforceability or validity of that provision in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of this Security Agreement are declared to be severable.

Section 7.07 Reinstatement. This Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should any Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of such Grantor’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Term Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Term Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Term Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

Section 7.08 Benefit of Agreement. The terms and provisions of this Security Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Grantor, the Term Collateral Agent and the Term Secured Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns (including all Persons who become bound as a debtor to this Security Agreement), except that no Grantor shall have the right to assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Security Agreement or any interest herein, without the prior written consent of the Term Collateral Agent. No sales of participations, assignments, transfers, or other dispositions of any agreement governing the Term Obligations or any portion thereof or interest therein shall in any manner impair the Lien granted to the Term Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Term Collateral Agent and the Term Secured Parties, hereunder.

Section 7.09 Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties of each Grantor contained in this Security Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Security Agreement.

Section 7.10 Taxes and Expenses. Each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to (i) pay any taxes payable or ruled payable by Federal or State authority in respect of this Security Agreement, together with interest and penalties, if any, and (ii) reimburse the Term Collateral Agent for any and all reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses paid or incurred by the Term Collateral Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, collection and enforcement of this Security Agreement and in the audit, analysis, administration, collection, preservation or sale of the Collateral (including the expenses and charges associated with any periodic or special audit of the Collateral). Any and all costs and expenses incurred by any Grantor in the performance of actions required pursuant to the terms hereof shall be borne solely by such Grantor.

- 23 -

Section 7.11 Additional Subsidiary Guarantors. Each Grantor shall cause each Restricted Subsidiary that is required to provide a Guarantee pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement to enter into this Security Agreement as a Grantor as promptly thereafter as reasonably practicable (but in no event to exceed ninety (90) days after such formation or acquisition or such longer period as may be agreed to by the Term Collateral Agent in writing). Upon execution and delivery by the Term Collateral Agent and such Subsidiary Guarantor of an instrument in the form of Exhibit J hereto, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall become a Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein. The execution and delivery of any such instrument shall not require the consent of any other Grantor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor as a party to this Security Agreement.

Section 7.12 Headings. The title of and section headings in this Security Agreement are for convenience of reference only, and shall not govern the interpretation of any of the terms and provisions of this Security Agreement.

Section 7.13 Termination or Release.

(a) This Security Agreement shall continue in effect until the Termination Date.

(b) A Subsidiary Guarantor shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder and the security interests created hereunder in the Collateral of such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be automatically released upon the consummation of any transaction permitted pursuant to the Credit Agreement, as a result of which such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary.

(c) Upon any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition by any Grantor of any Collateral that is permitted under Section 4.01(e) to any Person that is not another Grantor or, upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security interest granted hereby in any Collateral pursuant to the Credit Agreement and to the Equal Priority Intercreditor Agreement, the security interest in such Collateral shall be automatically released.

(d) The security interests granted hereunder on any Collateral, to the extent such Collateral is comprised of property leased to a Grantor, shall be automatically released upon termination or expiration of such lease, pursuant to the Credit Agreement and to the Equal Priority Intercreditor Agreement.

(e) The security interests created hereunder in the Collateral shall be automatically released as required pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements; provided that the Term Collateral Agent may, in its discretion, release the Lien on Collateral as provided in the Credit Agreement and to the Equal Priority Intercreditor Agreement.

(f) In the event that Rule 3-10 or Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X of the Exchange Act is amended, modified or interpreted by the SEC or any other relevant Governmental Authority to require (or is replaced with another rule or regulation, or any other law, rule or regulation is adopted, which would require) the filing with the SEC (or any other Governmental Authority) of separate financial statements of any Subsidiary of the Company due to the fact that the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary are pledged under this Security Agreement, then the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary shall automatically be deemed not to be part of the Collateral to the extent necessary not to be subject to such requirement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Security Agreement, if Capital Stock of any Subsidiary are not required to be pledged under this Security Agreement because Rule 3-10 or Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X of the Exchange Act would require the filing of separate financial statements of such

- 24 -

Subsidiary if its Capital Stock were so pledged, in the event that Rule 3-10 or Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X of the Exchange Act is amended, modified or interpreted by the SEC or any other relevant Governmental Authority to no longer require (or is replaced with another rule or regulation that would not require) the filing of separate financial statements of such Subsidiary if some or all of its Capital Stock is pledged under this Security Agreement, then such Capital Stock of such Subsidiary shall automatically be deemed part of the Collateral and pledged under this Security Agreement.

(g) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to paragraph (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) above, the Term Collateral Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to any Grantor, at such Grantor’s expense, all UCC termination statements and similar documents that such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 7.13 shall be without recourse to or representation or warranty by the Term Collateral Agent or any Term Secured Party. Without limiting the provisions of Section 7.18, the Company shall reimburse the Term Collateral Agent upon demand for all reasonable and documented costs and out of pocket expenses, including the fees, charges and expenses of counsel, incurred by it in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 7.13.

Section 7.14 Entire Agreement. This Security Agreement, together with the other Term Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements, embodies the entire agreement and understanding between each Grantor and the Term Collateral Agent relating to the Collateral and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, between any Grantor and the Term Collateral Agent relating to the Collateral.

Each Grantor agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

(b) Each Grantor hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Security Agreement in any court referred to in clause (a) of this Section.

- 25 -

Section 7.17 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH GRANTOR HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TERM DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH GRANTOR (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, TERM COLLATERAL AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement and the Security Agreement, as applicable, as referred to therein.

Accordingly, the Term Collateral Agent and the New Subsidiary hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 1.07 Pro Forma and Other Calculations.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, financial ratios and tests, including the Senior Net Leverage Ratio, the Secured Net Leverage Ratio, the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio and the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be calculated in the manner prescribed by this Section 1.07; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in clauses (b), (c), (d) or (e) of this Section 1.07, when calculating the Senior Net Leverage Ratio for purposes of (i) the definition of “Applicable Rate,” and (ii) Section 2.03(b)(i), the events described in this Section 1.07 that occurred subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period shall not be given pro forma effect; provided however that voluntary prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.03(a) during any fiscal year (without duplication of any prepayments in such fiscal year that reduced the amount of Excess Cash Flow required to be repaid pursuant to Section 2.03(b)(i) for any prior fiscal year) shall be given pro forma effect after such fiscal year-end and prior to the time such prepayment pursuant to Section 2.03(b)(i) is due but shall not be given pro forma effect thereafter. In addition, whenever a financial ratio or test is to be calculated on a pro forma basis, the reference to “Test Period” for purposes of calculating such financial ratio or test shall be deemed to be a reference to, and shall be based on, the most recently ended Test Period for which internal financial statements of the Borrower are available (as determined in good faith by the Borrower).

(b) For purposes of calculating any financial ratio or test (or Total Assets), Specified Transactions (with any incurrence or repayment of any Indebtedness in connection therewith to be subject to clause (d) of this Section 1.07) that have been made (i) during the applicable Test Period or (ii) subsequent to such Test Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Specified Transactions (and any increase or decrease in EBITDA and the component financial definitions used therein attributable to any Specified Transaction) had occurred on the first day of the applicable Test Period (or, in the case of Total Assets, on the last day of the applicable Test Period). If since the beginning of any applicable Test Period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such Test Period shall have made any Specified Transaction that would have required adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.07, then such financial ratio or test (or Total Assets) shall be calculated to give pro forma effect thereto in accordance with this Section 1.07.

(c) Whenever pro forma effect is to be given to a Specified Transaction, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a Financial Officer of the Borrower and may include, for the avoidance of doubt, the amount of “run-rate” cost savings, operating expense reductions and synergies projected by the Borrower in good faith to result from or relating to any Specified Transaction (including the Transactions) which is being given pro forma effect that have been realized or are expected to be realized and for which the actions necessary to realize such cost savings, operating expense reductions and synergies are taken, committed to be taken or with respect to which substantial steps have been taken or are expected to be taken (in the good faith determination of the Borrower) (calculated on a pro forma basis as though such cost savings, operating expense reductions and synergies had been realized on the first day of such period and as if such cost savings, operating expense reductions and synergies were realized during the entirety of such period and “run-rate” means the full recurring benefit for a period that is associated with any action taken, committed to be taken or with respect to which substantial steps have been taken or are expected to be taken (including any savings expected to result from the elimination of a public target’s compliance costs with public company requirements) net of the amount of actual benefits realized during such period from such actions, and any such adjustments shall be included in the initial pro forma calculations of such financial ratios or tests and during any subsequent Test Period in which the effects thereof are expected to be realized) relating to such Specified Transaction; provided that (A) such amounts are reasonably identifiable and factually supportable in the good faith judgment of the Borrower, (B) such actions are taken, committed to be taken or with respect to which substantial steps have been taken or are expected to be taken no later than twelve (12) months after the date of such Specified Transaction and (C) no amounts shall be added to the extent duplicative of any amounts that are otherwise added back in computing EBITDA (or any other components thereof), whether through a pro forma adjustment or otherwise, with respect to such period.

65

(d) In the event that the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs (including by assumption or guarantees), issues or repays (including by redemption, repurchase, repayment, retirement or extinguishment) any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness incurred or repaid under any revolving credit facility or line of credit unless such Indebtedness has been permanently repaid and not replaced), in each case included in the calculations of any financial ratio or test, (i) during the applicable Test Period or (ii) subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made, then such financial ratio or test shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence, issuance, repayment or redemption of Indebtedness, in each case to the extent required, as if the same had occurred on the last day of the applicable Test Period (except in the case of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (or similar ratio), in which case such incurrence, assumption, guarantee, issuance, redemption, repurchase, repayment, retirement or extinguishment of Indebtedness will be given effect, as if the same had occurred on the first day of the applicable Test Period).

(e) If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of the event for which the calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is made had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any interest hedging arrangements applicable to such Indebtedness). Interest on a Capitalized Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a Financial Officer of the Borrower to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be determined to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Borrower or applicable Restricted Subsidiary may designate. For purposes of making the computations referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Borrower may designate.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.07 or in any classification under GAAP of any Person, business, assets or operations in respect of which a definitive agreement for the Disposition thereof has been entered into as discontinued operations, no pro forma effect shall be given to any discontinued operations (and the EBITDA attributable to any such Person, business, assets or operations shall not be excluded for any purposes hereunder) until such Disposition shall have been consummated.

(g) Any determination of Total Assets shall be made by reference to the last day of the Test Period most recently ended on or prior to the relevant date of determination.

SECTION 1.08 Available Amount Transaction. If more than one action occurs on any given date the permissibility of the taking of which is determined hereunder by reference to the amount of the Available Amount immediately prior to the taking of such action, the permissibility of the taking of each such action shall be determined independently and in no event may any two or more such actions be treated as occurring simultaneously, i.e., each transaction must be permitted under the Available Amount as so calculated.

SECTION 1.09 Currency Generally.

(a) For purposes of determining compliance with Sections 7.01, 7.03 and 7.06 and the definition of “Permitted Investments” with respect to any amount of Indebtedness or Investment in a currency other than Dollars, no Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of changes in rates of currency exchange occurring after the time such Indebtedness or Investment is incurred (so long as such Indebtedness or Investment, at the time incurred, made or acquired, was permitted hereunder).

66

(b) For purposes of determining the Secured Net Leverage Ratio, the Senior Net Leverage Ratio and the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio, the amount of Indebtedness shall reflect the currency translation effects, determined in accordance with GAAP, of Hedging Obligations permitted hereunder for currency exchange risks with respect to the applicable currency in effect on the date of determination of the Dollar equivalent of such Indebtedness.

SECTION 1.10 Limited Condition Acquisitions.

(a) In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Acquisition, for purposes of determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires that no Default, Event of Default or specified Event of Default, as applicable, has occurred, is continuing or would result from any such action, as applicable, such condition shall, at the option of the Borrower, be deemed satisfied, so long as no Default, Event of Default or specified Event of Default, as applicable, exists on the date into which the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Acquisition are entered. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower has exercised its option under the first sentence of this clause (a), and any Default or Event of Default occurs following the date the definitive agreements for the applicable Limited Condition Acquisition were entered into and prior to the consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, any such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to not have occurred or be continuing for purposes of determining whether any action being taken in connection with such Limited Condition Acquisition is permitted hereunder.

(b) In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Acquisition, for purposes of:

(i) determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires the calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio, Secured Net Leverage Ratio or the Senior Net Leverage Ratio; or

(ii) testing baskets set forth in this Agreement (including baskets measured as a percentage of Total Assets);

in each case, at the option of the Borrower (the Borrower’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Acquisition, an “LCA Election”), the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder shall be deemed to be the date on which the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Acquisition are entered into (the “LCA Test Date”), and if, after giving pro forma effect to the Limited Condition Acquisition and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including (i) any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recent Test Period ended prior to the LCA Test Date for which consolidated financial statements of the Borrower are available, the Borrower could have taken such action on the relevant LCA Test Date in compliance with such ratio or basket, such ratio or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower has made an LCA Election and any of the ratios or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCA Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio or basket, including due to fluctuations in consolidated EBITDA or Total Assets of the Borrower or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Acquisition, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations. If the Borrower has made an LCA Election for any Limited Condition Acquisition, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio availability with respect to the incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens, or the making of Restricted Payments, Dispositions, mergers, the conveyance, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower or the designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary on or following the relevant LCA Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated or the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, any such ratio shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated.

Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m., New York time, (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or any conversion of Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans, and (ii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans; provided, that the notice referred to in subclause (i) above may be delivered (x) no later than one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date in the case of the Initial Term Loans (other than the New 2014 Term Loans), (y) no later than one (1) Business Day prior to the Incremental Amendment No. 1 Effective Date in the case of New 2014 Initial Term Loans and (z) no later than one (1) Business Day prior to the Delayed Draw Borrowing Date in the case of the New 2014 Delayed Draw Term Loans.

If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one (1) month.

68

(b) Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of the applicable Class of Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or continuation of Loans described in Section 2.02(a). In the case of each Borrowing, each Appropriate Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than, in the case of Borrowings on the Closing Date, the Incremental Amendment No. 1 Effective Date and the Delayed Draw Borrowing Date, 10:00 a.m., New York time, and otherwise 2:00 p.m., New York time, on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of (i) the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.01 for the Borrowing on the Closing Date, (ii) the applicable conditions set forth in Section 8 of Incremental Amendment No. 1 for the Borrowing of New 2014 Initial Term Loans on the Incremental Amendment No. 1 Effective Date or (iii) the applicable conditions set forth in Section 9 of Incremental Amendment No. 1 for the Borrowing of New 2014 Delayed Draw Term Loans on the Delayed Draw Borrowing Date, as applicable, the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account(s) of the Borrower on the books of the Administrative Agent with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided by the Borrower to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent.

(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan, unless the Borrower pays the amount due, if any, under Section 3.05 in connection therewith. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent or the Required Facility Lenders under the applicable Facility may require by notice to the Borrower that no Loans may be converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. The determination of the Eurodollar Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. At any time when Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change in the Administrative Agent’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.

(e) After giving effect to all Term Borrowings, all conversions of Term Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Term Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than five (5) Interest Periods in effect unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent; provided that after the establishment of any new Class of Loans pursuant to an Incremental Amendment, a Refinancing Amendment, an Extension Amendment or an amendment in respect of Replacement Loans, the number of Interest Periods otherwise permitted by this Section 2.02(e) shall increase by three (3) Interest Periods for each applicable Class so established.

(f) The failure of any Lender to make the Loan to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Loan on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.

(g) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing, or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 1:00 p.m., New York time, on the date of such Borrowing, that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such Pro Rata Share available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with paragraph (b) above, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent shall have so made funds available, then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, each of such Lender and the

69

Borrower severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Overnight Rate plus any administrative, processing, or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the foregoing. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.02(g) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 2.03 Prepayments.

(a) Optional.

(i) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay any Class or Classes of Term Loans in whole or in part without premium (except as set forth in Section 2.15) or penalty; provided that (1) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m., New York time, (A) three (3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (B) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (2) any partial prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $2,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding; and (3) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Class(es) and Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of such prepayment. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. In the case of each prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(a), the Borrower may in its sole discretion select the Borrowing or Borrowings (and the order of maturity of principal payments) to be repaid, and such payment shall be paid to the Appropriate Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement.

(ii) [Reserved].

(iii) Voluntary prepayments of any Class of Term Loans permitted hereunder shall be applied to the remaining scheduled installments of principal thereof pursuant to Section 2.05 (or pursuant to the applicable Extension Amendment, Incremental Amendment, Refinancing Amendment, amendment in respect of any Replacement Loans or otherwise) in a manner determined at the discretion of the Borrower and specified in the notice of prepayment (and absent such direction, in direct order of maturity). Each prepayment in respect of any Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03 may be applied to any Class of Term Loans as directed by the Borrower. For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower may (i) prepay Term Loans of an Existing Term Loan Class pursuant to this Section 2.03 without any requirement to prepay Extended Term Loans that were converted or exchanged from such Existing Term Loan Class and (ii) prepay Extended Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03 without any requirement to prepay Term Loans of an Existing Term Loan Class that were converted or exchanged for such Extended Term Loans. In the event that the Borrower does not specify the order in which to apply prepayments to reduce scheduled installments of principal or as between Classes of Term Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected that such proceeds be applied to reduce the scheduled installments of principal in direct order of maturity on a pro-rata basis among Term Loan Classes.

70

(iv) Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any Borrower Party may (i) purchase outstanding Term Loans on a non-pro rata basis through open market purchases or (ii) prepay the outstanding Term Loans, which shall, in each case, for the avoidance of doubt, be automatically and permanently canceled immediately upon acquisition by the Borrower Parties, and in the case of this clause (ii) only, which shall be prepaid on the following basis:

(A) The Borrower Party shall have the right to make a voluntary prepayment of Loans at a discount to par pursuant to a Borrower Offer of Specified Discount Prepayment, Borrower Solicitation of Discount Range Prepayment Offers or Borrower Solicitation of Discounted Prepayment Offers (any such prepayment, the “Discounted Term Loan Prepayment”), in each case made in accordance with this Section 2.03(a)(iv); provided that no Borrower Party shall initiate any action under this Section 2.03(a)(iv) in order to make a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment unless (I) at least ten (10) Business Days shall have passed since the consummation of the most recent Discounted Term Loan Prepayment as a result of a prepayment made by a Borrower Party on the applicable Discounted Prepayment Effective Date; or (II) at least three (3) Business Days shall have passed since the date the Borrower Party was notified that no Term Lender was willing to accept any prepayment of any Term Loan at the Specified Discount, within the Discount Range or at any discount to par value, as applicable, or in the case of Borrower Solicitation of Discounted Prepayment Offers, the date of the Borrower Party’s election not to accept any Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers.

(B) (1) Subject to the proviso to subsection (A) above, the Borrower Party may from time to time offer to make a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment by providing the Auction Agent with five (5) Business Days’ notice in the form of a Specified Discount Prepayment Notice; provided that (I) any such offer shall be made available, at the sole discretion of the Borrower Party, to (x) each Term Lender and/or (y) each Term Lender with respect to any Class of Term Loans on an individual Class basis, (II) any such offer shall specify the aggregate principal amount offered to be prepaid (the “Specified Discount Prepayment Amount”) with respect to each applicable Class, the Class or Classes of Term Loans subject to such offer and the specific percentage discount to par (the “Specified Discount”) of such Term Loans to be prepaid (it being understood that different Specified Discounts and/or Specified Discount Prepayment Amounts may be offered with respect to different Classes of Term Loans and, in such event, each such offer will be treated as a separate offer pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.03(a)(iv)(B)), (III) the Specified Discount Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $5,000,000 and whole increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (IV) each such offer shall remain outstanding through the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date. The Auction Agent will promptly provide each Appropriate Lender with a copy of such Specified Discount Prepayment Notice and a form of the Specified Discount Prepayment Response to be completed and returned by each such Term Lender to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the third Business Day after the date of delivery of such notice to such Lenders (the “Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date”).

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

(3) If there is at least one Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender, the relevant Borrower Party will make a prepayment of outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this

71

paragraph (B) to each Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender in accordance with the respective outstanding amount and Classes of Term Loans specified in such Lender’s Specified Discount Prepayment Response given pursuant to subsection (2) above; provided that, if the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans accepted for prepayment by all Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders exceeds the Specified Discount Prepayment Amount, such prepayment shall be made pro rata among the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts accepted to be prepaid by each such Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender and the Auction Agent (in consultation with such Borrower Party and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Specified Discount Proration”). The Auction Agent shall promptly, and in any case within three (3) Business Days following the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date, notify (I) the relevant Borrower Party of the respective Term Lenders’ responses to such offer, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and the aggregate principal amount of the Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and the Classes to be prepaid, (II) each Term Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, and the aggregate principal amount and the Classes of Term Loans to be prepaid at the Specified Discount on such date and (III) each Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender of the Specified Discount Proration, if any, and confirmation of the principal amount, Class and Type of Term Loans of such Lender to be prepaid at the Specified Discount on such date. Each determination by the Auction Agent of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the Borrower Party and such Term Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The payment amount specified in such notice to the Borrower Party shall be due and payable by such Borrower Party on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with subsection (F) below (subject to subsection (J) below).

(C) (1) Subject to the proviso to subsection (A) above, the Borrower Party may from time to time solicit Discount Range Prepayment Offers by providing the Auction Agent with five (5) Business Days’ notice in the form of a Discount Range Prepayment Notice; provided that (I) any such solicitation shall be extended, at the sole discretion of such Borrower Party, to (x) each Term Lender and/or (y) each Term Lender with respect to any Class of Term Loans on an individual Class basis, (II) any such notice shall specify the maximum aggregate principal amount of the relevant Term Loans (the “Discount Range Prepayment Amount”), the Class or Classes of Term Loans subject to such offer and the maximum and minimum percentage discounts to par (the “Discount Range”) of the principal amount of such Term Loans with respect to each relevant Class of Term Loans willing to be prepaid by such Borrower Party (it being understood that different Discount Ranges and/or Discount Range Prepayment Amounts may be offered with respect to different Classes of Term Loans and, in such event, each such offer will be treated as separate offer pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.03(a)(iv)(C)), (III) the Discount Range Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $5,000,000 and whole increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (IV) each such solicitation by the Borrower Party shall remain outstanding through the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date. The Auction Agent will promptly provide each Appropriate Lender with a copy of such Discount Range Prepayment Notice and a form of the Discount Range Prepayment Offer to be submitted by a responding Term Lender to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the third Business Day after the date of delivery of such notice to such Lenders (the “Discount Range Prepayment Response Date”). Each Term Lender’s Discount Range Prepayment Offer shall be irrevocable and shall specify a discount to par within the Discount Range (the “Submitted Discount”) at which such Lender is willing to allow prepayment of any or all of its then outstanding Term Loans of the applicable Class or Classes and the maximum aggregate principal amount and Classes of such Lender’s Term Loans (the “Submitted Amount”) such Term Lender is willing to have prepaid at the Submitted Discount. Any Term Lender whose Discount Range Prepayment Offer is not received by the Auction Agent by the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have declined to accept a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment of any of its Term Loans at any discount to their par value within the Discount Range.

(2) The Auction Agent shall review all Discount Range Prepayment Offers received on or before the applicable Discount Range Prepayment Response

72

Date and shall determine (in consultation with such Borrower Party and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) the Applicable Discount and Term Loans to be prepaid at such Applicable Discount in accordance with this subsection (C). The relevant Borrower Party agrees to accept on the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date all Discount Range Prepayment Offers received by Auction Agent by the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date, in the order from the Submitted Discount that is the largest discount to par to the Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par, up to and including the Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par within the Discount Range (such Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par within the Discount Range being referred to as the “Applicable Discount”) which yields a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment in an aggregate principal amount equal to the lower of (I) the Discount Range Prepayment Amount and (II) the sum of all Submitted Amounts. Each Term Lender that has submitted a Discount Range Prepayment Offer to accept prepayment at a discount to par that is larger than or equal to the Applicable Discount shall be deemed to have irrevocably consented to prepayment of Term Loans equal to its Submitted Amount (subject to any required proration pursuant to the following subsection (3)) at the Applicable Discount (each such Term Lender, a “Participating Lender”).

(3) If there is at least one Participating Lender, the relevant Borrower Party will prepay the respective outstanding Term Loans of each Participating Lender in the aggregate principal amount and of the Classes specified in such Lender’s Discount Range Prepayment Offer at the Applicable Discount; provided that if the Submitted Amount by all Participating Lenders offered at a discount to par greater than the Applicable Discount exceeds the Discount Range Prepayment Amount, prepayment of the principal amount of the relevant Term Loans for those Participating Lenders whose Submitted Discount is a discount to par greater than or equal to the Applicable Discount (the “Identified Participating Lenders”) shall be made pro rata among the Identified Participating Lenders in accordance with the Submitted Amount of each such Identified Participating Lender and the Auction Agent (in consultation with such Borrower Party and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Discount Range Proration”). The Auction Agent shall promptly, and in any case within five (5) Business Days following the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date, notify (I) the relevant Borrower Party of the respective Term Lenders’ responses to such solicitation, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Applicable Discount, and the aggregate principal amount of the Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and the Classes to be prepaid, (II) each Term Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Applicable Discount, and the aggregate principal amount and Classes of Term Loans to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date, (III) each Participating Lender of the aggregate principal amount and Classes of such Term Lender to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date, and (IV) if applicable, each Identified Participating Lender of the Discount Range Proration. Each determination by the Auction Agent of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the relevant Borrower Party and Term Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The payment amount specified in such notice to the Borrower Party shall be due and payable by such Borrower Party on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with subsection (F) below (subject to subsection (J) below).

(D) (1) Subject to the proviso to subsection (A) above, the Borrower Party may from time to time solicit Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers by providing the Auction Agent with five (5) Business Days’ notice in the form of a Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice; provided that (I) any such solicitation shall be extended, at the sole discretion of such Borrower Party, to (x) each Term Lender and/or (y) each Lender with respect to any Class of Term Loans on an individual Class basis, (II) any such notice shall specify the maximum aggregate amount of the Term Loans (the “Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount”) and the Class or Classes of Term Loans the applicable Borrower Party is willing to prepay at a discount (it being understood that different Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amounts may be offered with respect to different Classes of Term Loans and, in such event, each such offer will be treated as separate offer pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.03(a)(iv)(D)), (III) the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $5,000,000 and whole

73

increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (IV) each such solicitation by the Borrower Party shall remain outstanding through the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date. The Auction Agent will promptly provide each Appropriate Lender with a copy of such Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice and a form of the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer to be submitted by a responding Lender to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the third Business Day after the date of delivery of such notice to such Term Lenders (the “Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date”). Each Term Lender’s Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer shall (x) be irrevocable, (y) remain outstanding until the Acceptance Date, and (z) specify both a discount to par (the “Offered Discount”) at which such Term Lender is willing to allow prepayment of its then outstanding Term Loan and the maximum aggregate principal amount and Classes of such Term Loans (the “Offered Amount”) such Term Lender is willing to have prepaid at the Offered Discount. Any Term Lender whose Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer is not received by the Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have declined prepayment of any of its Term Loans at any discount.

(2) The Auction Agent shall promptly provide the relevant Borrower Party with a copy of all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received on or before the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date. Such Borrower Party shall review all such Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers and select the largest of the Offered Discounts specified by the relevant responding Term Lenders in the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers that is acceptable to the Borrower Party (the “Acceptable Discount”), if any. If the Borrower Party elects to accept any Offered Discount as the Acceptable Discount, then as soon as practicable after the determination of the Acceptable Discount, but in no event later than by the third Business Day after the date of receipt by such Borrower Party from the Auction Agent of a copy of all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers pursuant to the first sentence of this subsection (2) (the “Acceptance Date”), the Borrower Party shall submit an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice to the Auction Agent setting forth the Acceptable Discount. If the Auction Agent shall fail to receive an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice from the Borrower Party by the Acceptance Date, such Borrower Party shall be deemed to have rejected all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers.

(3) Based upon the Acceptable Discount and the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received by Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date, within three (3) Business Days after receipt of an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice (the “Discounted Prepayment Determination Date”), the Auction Agent will determine (in consultation with such Borrower Party and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) the aggregate principal amount and the Classes of Term Loans (the “Acceptable Prepayment Amount”) to be prepaid by the relevant Borrower Party at the Acceptable Discount in accordance with this Section 2.03(a)(iv)(D). If the Borrower Party elects to accept any Acceptable Discount, then the Borrower Party agrees to accept all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received by Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date, in the order from largest Offered Discount to smallest Offered Discount, up to and including the Acceptable Discount. Each Term Lender that has submitted a Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer with an Offered Discount that is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount shall be deemed to have irrevocably consented to prepayment of Term Loans equal to its Offered Amount (subject to any required pro-rata reduction pursuant to the following sentence) at the Acceptable Discount (each such Lender, a “Qualifying Lender”). The Borrower Party will prepay outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this subsection (D) to each Qualifying Lender in the aggregate principal amount and of the Classes specified in such Lender’s Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer at the Acceptable Discount; provided that if the aggregate Offered Amount by all Qualifying Lenders whose Offered Discount is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount exceeds the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount, prepayment of the principal amount of the Term Loans for those Qualifying Lenders whose Offered Discount is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount (the “Identified Qualifying Lenders”) shall be made pro rata among the Identified Qualifying Lenders in accordance with the Offered Amount of each such Identified Qualifying Lender and the Auction Agent (in consultation with such

74

Borrower Party and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Solicited Discount Proration”). On or prior to the Discounted Prepayment Determination Date, the Auction Agent shall promptly notify (I) the relevant Borrower Party of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and Acceptable Prepayment Amount comprising the Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and the Classes to be prepaid, (II) each Term Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Acceptable Discount, and the Acceptable Prepayment Amount of all Term Loans and the Classes to be prepaid to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date, (III) each Qualifying Lender of the aggregate principal amount and the Classes of such Term Lender to be prepaid at the Acceptable Discount on such date, and (IV) if applicable, each Identified Qualifying Lender of the Solicited Discount Proration. Each determination by the Auction Agent of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to such Borrower Party and Term Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The payment amount specified in such notice to such Borrower Party shall be due and payable by such Borrower Party on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with subsection (F) below (subject to subsection (J) below).

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

(F) If any Term Loan is prepaid in accordance with subsections (B) through (D) above, a Borrower Party shall prepay such Term Loans on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date. The relevant Borrower Party shall make such prepayment to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders, Participating Lenders, or Qualifying Lenders, as applicable, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in immediately available funds not later than 12:00 p.m., New York time, on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and all such prepayments shall be applied to the remaining principal installments of the relevant Class(es) of Loans on a pro rata basis across such installments. The Term Loans so prepaid shall be accompanied by all accrued and unpaid interest on the par principal amount so prepaid up to, but not including, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date. Each prepayment of the outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(a)(iv) shall be paid to the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders, Participating Lenders, or Qualifying Lenders, as applicable, and shall be applied to the relevant Term Loans of such Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement. The aggregate principal amount of the Classes and installments of the relevant Term Loans outstanding shall be deemed reduced by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the Classes of Term Loans prepaid on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment. In connection with each prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.03(a)(iv), the relevant Borrower Party shall make a customary representation to the assigning or assignee Term Lenders, as applicable, that it does not possess material non-public information (or material information of the type that would not be public if the Borrower or any Parent Entity were a publicly-reporting company) with respect to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries that either (1) has not been disclosed to the Term Lenders generally (other than Term Lenders that have elected not to receive such information) or (2) if not disclosed to the Term Lenders, would reasonably be expected to have a material effect on, or otherwise be material to (A) a Term Lender’s decision to participate in any such Discounted Term Loan Prepayment or (B) the market price of such Term Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, no such representation will be required in the case of open market purchases by Affiliated Lenders, which may possess such material non-public information), or shall make a statement that such representation cannot be made.

(G) To the extent not expressly provided for herein, each Discounted Term Loan Prepayment shall be consummated pursuant to procedures consistent with the provisions in this Section 2.03(a)(iv), established by the Auction Agent acting in its reasonable discretion and as reasonably agreed by the Borrower.

75

(H) Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, for purposes of this Section 2.03(a)(iv), each notice or other communication required to be delivered or otherwise provided to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) shall be deemed to have been given upon Auction Agent’s (or its delegate’s) actual receipt during normal business hours of such notice or communication; provided that any notice or communication actually received outside of normal business hours shall be deemed to have been given as of the opening of business on the next Business Day.

(I) Each of the Borrower Parties and the Term Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Auction Agent may perform any and all of its duties under this Section 2.03(a)(iv) by itself or through any Affiliate of the Auction Agent and expressly consents to any such delegation of duties by the Auction Agent to such Affiliate and the performance of such delegated duties by such Affiliate. The exculpatory provisions pursuant to this Agreement shall apply to each Affiliate of the Auction Agent and its respective activities in connection with any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment provided for in this Section 2.03(a)(iv) as well as activities of the Auction Agent.

(J) The Borrower Party shall have the right, by written notice to the Auction Agent, to revoke in full (but not in part) its offer to make a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and rescind the applicable Specified Discount Prepayment Notice, Discount Range Prepayment Notice or Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice therefor at its discretion at any time on or prior to the applicable Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date (and if such offer is revoked pursuant to the preceding clauses, any failure by such Borrower Party to make any prepayment to a Lender, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 2.03(a)(iv) shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default under Section 8.01 or otherwise).

(ii) (A) If (x) the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary Disposes of any property or assets (other than any Disposition of any property or assets permitted by Section 7.05(a), (b), (c), (d) (to the extent constituting a Disposition to the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor), (e), (g),

76

(h), (i), (k), (l), (m), (n), (o), (p), (q), (r), (s) or (t) or the Disposition of the Commercial and Retread Business) or (y) any Casualty Event occurs, which results in the realization or receipt by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary of Net Cash Proceeds, the Borrower shall prepay, or cause to be prepaid, on or prior to the date which is ten (10) Business Days after the date of the realization or receipt by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary of such Net Cash Proceeds, subject to clause (B) of this Section 2.03(b)(ii) and clauses (b)(v) and (vi) of this Section 2.03, an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds realized or received; provided, that if at the time that any such prepayment would be required, the Borrower (or any Restricted Subsidiary) are required to offer to repurchase the Senior Notes or Permitted Incremental Equivalent Debt or any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness secured on an equal priority basis with the Obligations (or any Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof that is secured on an equal priority basis with the Obligations) pursuant to the terms of the documentation governing such Indebtedness with the net proceeds of such Disposition or Casualty Event (such Permitted Incremental Equivalent Debt and Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness secured on an equal priority basis with the Obligations (or such Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of any of the foregoing that is secured on an equal priority basis with the Obligations) required to be offered to be so repurchased, “Other Applicable Indebtedness”), then the Borrower (or any Restricted Subsidiary) may apply such Net Cash Proceeds on a pro rata basis (determined on the basis of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans and Other Applicable Indebtedness at such time; provided that the portion of such net proceeds allocated to the Other Applicable Indebtedness shall not exceed the amount of such net proceeds required to be allocated to the Other Applicable Indebtedness pursuant to the terms thereof, and the remaining amount, if any, of such net proceeds shall be allocated to the Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof) to the prepayment of the Term Loans and to the repurchase or prepayment of Other Applicable Indebtedness, and the amount of prepayment of the Term Loans that would have otherwise been required pursuant to this Section 2.03(b)(ii)(A) shall be reduced accordingly; provided, further, that to the extent the holders of Other Applicable Indebtedness decline to have such indebtedness repurchased or prepaid, the declined amount shall promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after the date of such rejection) be applied to prepay the Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof; provided, further, that no prepayment shall be required pursuant to this Section 2.03(b)(ii)(A) with respect to such portion of such Net Cash Proceeds that the Borrower shall have, on or prior to such date, given written notice to the Administrative Agent of its intent to reinvest (or entered into a binding commitment to reinvest) in accordance with Section 2.03(b)(ii)(B).

(B) With respect to any Net Cash Proceeds realized or received with respect to any Disposition (other than any Disposition specifically excluded from the application of Section 2.03(b)(ii)(A)) or any Casualty Event, at the option of the Borrower, the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries may reinvest all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in assets useful for their business within (x) twelve (12) months following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds or (y) if the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary enters into a legally binding commitment to reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds within twelve (12) months following receipt thereof, within the later of (1) twelve (12) months following receipt thereof and (2) one hundred eighty (180) days of the date of such legally binding commitment; provided, that if any Net Cash Proceeds are no longer intended to be or cannot be so reinvested at any time after delivery of a notice of reinvestment election, and subject to clauses (v) and (vi) of this Section 2.03(b), an amount equal to any such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied within five (5) Business Days after the Borrower reasonably determines that such Net Cash Proceeds are no longer intended to be or cannot be so reinvested to the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in this Section 2.03.

(iii) If the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs or issues any Indebtedness (A) not expressly permitted to be incurred or issued pursuant to Section 7.03 or (B) that constitutes Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness or Other Term Loans, the Borrower shall prepay, or cause to be prepaid, an aggregate principal amount of Term Loans of Class or Classes being refinanced (in each case, as directed by the Borrower) equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom on or prior to the date which is five (5) Business Days after the receipt by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary of such Net Cash Proceeds.

(iv) (A) Except as otherwise set forth in any Refinancing Amendment, Extension Amendment or Incremental Amendment, each prepayment of Term Loans required by Section 2.03(b)(i),

77

(ii) and (iii)(A) shall be allocated to the Classes of Term Loans outstanding based upon the then outstanding principal amounts of the respective Classes of Term Loans, pro rata, based upon the applicable remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect of each such Class of Term Loans, shall be applied pro rata to Term Lenders within each Class, based upon the outstanding principal amounts owing to each such Term Lender under each such Class of Term Loans and shall be applied to reduce such remaining scheduled installments of principal within each such Class in direct order of maturity; provided that with respect to the allocation of such prepayments under this clause (A) between an Existing Term Loan Class and Extended Term Loans of the same Term Loan Extension Series, the Borrower may allocate such prepayments as the Borrower may specify, subject to the limitation that the Borrower shall not allocate to Extended Term Loans of any Term Loan Extension Series any such mandatory prepayment unless such prepayment under this clause (A) is accompanied by at least a pro rata prepayment, based upon the applicable remaining scheduled installments of principal due in respect thereof, of the Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan Class, if any, from which such Extended Term Loans were converted or exchanged (or such Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan Class have otherwise been repaid in full) and (B) each prepayment of Term Loans required by Section 2.03(b)(iii)(B) shall be allocated to any Class or Classes of Term Loans outstanding as directed by the Borrower (subject to the requirement that the proceeds shall be applied to prepay or repay the applicable Refinanced Indebtedness), shall be applied pro rata to Term Lenders within each such Class, based upon the outstanding principal amounts owing to each such Term Lender under each such Class or Classes of Term Loans and shall be applied to reduce such remaining scheduled installments of principal within each such Class or Classes in direct order of maturity.

(v) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 2.03(b) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall specify the date of such prepayment and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the aggregate amount of such prepayment to be made by the Borrower. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of the contents of the Borrower’s prepayment notice and of such Appropriate Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the prepayment or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement. Each Term Lender may reject all or a portion of its Pro Rata Share, or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement, of any mandatory prepayment (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”) of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 2.03(b) by providing written notice (each, a “Rejection Notice”) to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower no later than 5:00 p.m., New York time, two (2) Business Days after the date of such Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding such prepayment. Each Rejection Notice from a given Lender shall specify the principal amount of the mandatory repayment of Term Loans to be rejected by such Lender. If a Term Lender fails to deliver a Rejection Notice to the Administrative Agent within the time frame specified above or such Rejection Notice fails to specify the principal amount of the Term Loans to be rejected, any such failure will be deemed an acceptance of the total amount of such mandatory prepayment of Term Loans. Subject to the terms of the ABL Credit Documents, any Declined Proceeds remaining shall be retained by the Borrower.

(vi) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.03(b), (A) to the extent that any or all of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Disposition by a Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to a prepayment event pursuant to Section 2.03(b)(ii) (a “Foreign Disposition”), the Net Cash Proceeds of any Casualty Event from a Foreign Subsidiary (a “Foreign Casualty Event”), or Excess Cash Flow are prohibited or delayed by applicable local law from being repatriated to the United States, the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Term Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.03(b) but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law will not permit repatriation to the United States (the Borrower hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all actions reasonably required by the applicable local law to permit such repatriation), and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow is permitted under the applicable local law, such repatriation will be promptly effected and an amount equal to such repatriated Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow will be promptly (and in any event not later than two (2) Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(b) to the extent otherwise provided herein

78

and (B) to the extent that the Borrower has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of any Foreign Disposition, any Foreign Casualty Event or Excess Cash Flow would have a material adverse tax cost consequence (taking into account any foreign tax credit or benefit actually realized in connection with such repatriation) with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, the Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary.

(c) Interest, Funding Losses, Etc. All prepayments under this Section 2.03 shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with, in the case of any such prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period therefor, any amounts owing in respect of such Eurodollar Rate Loan pursuant to Section 3.05.

Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Section 2.03, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans is required to be made under this Section 2.03 prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, in lieu of making any payment pursuant to this Section 2.03 in respect of any such Eurodollar Rate Loan prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, the Borrower may, in their sole discretion, deposit an amount sufficient to make any such prepayment otherwise required to be made thereunder together with accrued interest to the last day of such Interest Period into a Cash Collateral Account until the last day of such Interest Period, at which time the Administrative Agent shall be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from the Borrower or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of such Loans in accordance with this Section 2.03. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall also be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from the Borrower or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of the outstanding Loans in accordance with the relevant provisions of this Section 2.03. Such deposit shall be deemed to be a prepayment of such Loans by the Borrower for all purposes under this Agreement.

SECTION 2.04 Termination of Commitments.The Term B Commitment of each Term Lender on the Closing Date shall be automatically and permanently reduced to $0 upon the making of such Lender’s Initial Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.01. The New 2014 Initial Term Loan Commitment of each New 2014 Initial Term Loan Lender shall be automatically and permanently reduced to $0 upon the making of such New 2014 Initial Term Loan Lender’s New 2014 Initial Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.01 (as amended by Incremental Amendment No. 1) and Incremental Amendment No. 1 on the Incremental Amendment No. 1 Effective Date. The New 2014 Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment of each New 2014 Initial Term Loan Lender shall be automatically and permanently reduced to $0 upon the earlier of (i) the making of such New 2014 Initial Term Loan Lender’s New 2014 Delayed Draw Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.01 (as amended by Incremental Amendment No. 1) and Incremental Amendment No. 1 on the Delayed Draw Borrowing Date and (ii) the New 2014 Delayed Draw End Date.

SECTION 2.05 Repayment of Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Appropriate Lenders (i) on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the last Business Day of June, 2014, (x) at any time prior to the Delayed Draw Borrowing Date (or if the Delayed Draw Borrowing Date does not occur), an aggregate principal amount equal to 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of all Initial Term Loans outstanding on the Closing Date (which payments shall to $1,600,000 and (y) at any time on or after the Delayed Draw Borrowing Date, (A) to the extent the Delayed Draw Borrowing Date occurs prior to the last Business Day of June, 2014 and the entire principal amount of the New 2014 Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment is borrowed by the Borrower, an aggregate principal amount equal to $1,800,000 or (B) to the extent the Delayed Draw Borrowing Date occurs on or after the last Business Day of June, 2014 and the entire principal amount of the New 2014 Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment is borrowed by the Borrower, an aggregate principal amount equal to $1,800,501.25 (provided that such payments shall in each case be reduced as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with the order of priority set forth in Section 8.03; and provided, further, that in the case of clauses (y)(A) and (y)(B) above, to the extent the entire principal amount of the New 2014 Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment is not borrowed by the Borrower, such payments shall be reduced to reflect the actual amount of New 2014 Delayed Draw Term Loans actually borrowed) and (ii) on the Maturity Date for the Initial Term Loans, the aggregate principal amount of all Initial Term Loans outstanding on such date. For the avoidance of doubt, the New 2014 Initial Term Loans made on the Incremental Amendment No. 1 Effective Date and New 2014 Delayed Draw Term Loans made on the

79

Delayed Draw Borrowing Date shall each (x) constitute Initial Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement, (y) mature and become due and payable on the Maturity Date for the Initial Term Loans and (z) be repaid in quarterly installments in accordance with this Section 2.05.

SECTION 2.06 Interest.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.06(b), (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate and (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable Borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(b) During the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), the Borrower shall pay interest on past due amounts hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

(c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

SECTION 2.07 Fees.

(a) The Borrower shall pay to the Agents such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever (except as expressly agreed between the Borrower and the applicable Agent).

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender holding a New 2014 Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment a delayed draw commitment fee (the “Delayed Draw Commitment Fee”) in Dollars that shall accrue daily on the Total New 2014 Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment for the period from and including the date that is 30 days after the Incremental Amendment No. 1 Effective Date to but excluding the date the Total New 2014 Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment is reduced to zero (which includes, for the avoidance of doubt, the Delayed Draw Borrowing Date) at a rate per annum equal to 100% of the Applicable Rate for Eurodollar Rate Loans at such time. The Delayed Draw Commitment Fee (if any) shall be payable on the date the Total New 2014 Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments are reduced to zero (which includes, for the avoidance of doubt, the Delayed Draw Borrowing Date).

SECTION 2.08 Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 days or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360 day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.10(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(b) If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of any Restricted Subsidiary or for any other reason, the Borrower, Holdings or the Lenders determine that (i) the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries as calculated by the Borrower or Holdings as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of such Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio would have resulted in a higher Applicable Rate for such period, the Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders on demand by the Administrative Agent within ten Business Days (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an

80

order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent or any Lender), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, under Article VIII.

SECTION 2.09 Evidence of Indebtedness.

(a) The Borrowings extended by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and evidenced by one or more entries in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent, acting solely for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 5f.103-1(c), as agent for the Borrower, in each case in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error of the amount of the Borrowings extended by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent, as set forth in the Register, in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Term Note payable to such Lender, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Term Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

(b) In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

(c) Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to Sections 2.09(a) and (b), and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to Sections 2.09(a) and (b), shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, absent manifest error; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 2.10 Payments Generally.

(a) All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office for payment and in Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m., New York time, on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Appropriate Lender its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. Any payments under this Agreement that are made later than 2:00 p.m., New York time, shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day (but the Administrative Agent may extend such deadline for purposes of computing interest and fees (but not beyond the end of such day) in its sole discretion whether or not such payments are in process).

(b) If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

81

(c) Unless the Borrower or any Lender has notified the Administrative Agent, prior to the date, or in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 1:00 p.m. on the date of such Borrowing, any payment is required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent hereunder (in the case of the Borrower, for the account of any Lender hereunder or, in the case of the Lenders, for the account of the Borrower), that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds, then:

(i) if the Borrower failed to make such payment, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in Same Day Funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect; and

(ii) if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall forthwith on demand pay to the Administrative Agent the amount thereof in Same Day Funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent (the “Compensation Period”) at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. When such Lender makes payment to the Administrative Agent (together with all accrued interest thereon), then such payment amount (excluding the amount of any interest which may have accrued and been paid in respect of such late payment) shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the applicable Borrowing. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent may make a demand therefor upon the Borrower, and the Borrower shall pay such amount, or cause such amount to be paid, to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon for the Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to the applicable Borrowing. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.10(c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(d) If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Borrowing set forth in Section 4.01 are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(e) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan.

(f) Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

(g) Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is insufficient to pay in full all amounts due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on any date, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the order of priority set forth in Section 8.03 (or otherwise expressly set forth herein). If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations of the Loan Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the manner in which such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each of

82

the Lenders in accordance with such Lender’s Pro Rata Share or other applicable share provided for under this Agreement of the sum of the Outstanding Amount of all Loans outstanding at such time, in repayment or prepayment of such of the outstanding Loans or other Obligations then owing to such Lender.

SECTION 2.11 Sharing of Payments. If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on account of the Loans made by it (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans of such Class made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of any principal of or interest on such Loans of such Class pro rata with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered, without further interest thereon. For avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 2.11 shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement as in effect from time to time or (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant permitted hereunder. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff, but subject to Section 10.09) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 2.11 and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased.

SECTION 2.12 Incremental Facilities.

(a) Incremental Loan Request. The Borrower may at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent (an “Incremental Loan Request”), request one or more new commitments which may be of the same Class as any outstanding Term Loans (a “Term Loan Increase”) or a new Class of term loans (collectively with any Term Loan Increase, the “Incremental Term Commitments”), whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders. Each Incremental Loan Request from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Term Commitments.

(b) Incremental Term Loans. Any Incremental Term Loans effected through the establishment of one or more new term loans made on an Incremental Facility Closing Date (other than a Term Loan Increase) shall be designated a separate Class of Incremental Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement. On any Incremental Facility Closing Date on which any Incremental Term Commitments of any Class are effected (including through any Term Loan Increase), subject to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions in this Section 2.12, (i) each Incremental Term Lender of such Class shall make a Loan to the Borrower (an “Incremental Term Loan”) in an amount equal to its Incremental Term Commitment of such Class and (ii) each Incremental Term Lender of such Class shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to the Incremental Term Commitment of such Class and the Incremental Term Loans of such Class made pursuant thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Incremental Term Loans may have identical terms to any of the Term Loans and be treated as the same Class as any of such Term Loans.

(c) Incremental Term Lenders. Incremental Term Loans may be made by any existing Lender (but no existing Lender will have an obligation to make any Incremental Term Commitment (or Incremental

83

Term Loan), nor will the Borrower have any obligation to approach any existing Lenders to provide any Incremental Term Commitment (or Incremental Term Loan)) or by any Additional Lender (each such existing Lender or Additional Lender providing such Loan or Commitment, an “Incremental Term Lender”); provided that (i) the Administrative Agent shall have consented to such Additional Lender’s making such Incremental Term Loans to the extent such consent, if any, would be required under Section 10.07(b) for an assignment of Loans to such Additional Lender and (ii) with respect to Incremental Term Commitments, any Affiliated Lender providing an Incremental Term Commitment shall be subject to the same restrictions set forth in Section 10.07(h) as they would otherwise be subject to with respect to any purchase by or assignment to such Affiliated Lender of Term Loans.

(d) Effectiveness of Incremental Amendment. The effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof (the “Incremental Facility Closing Date”) of each of the following conditions:

(i) no Default or Event of Default shall exist after giving effect to such Incremental Term Commitments; provided that, with respect to any Incremental Amendment the primary purpose of which is to finance an acquisition permitted by this Agreement, the requirement pursuant to this clause (d)(i) shall be that no Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or (f) shall exist after giving effect to such Incremental Term Commitments (in the case of an acquisition which is a Limited Condition Acquisition, such determination to be subject to Section 1.10);

(ii) each Incremental Term Commitment shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $10,000,000 and shall be in an increment of $1,000,000 (provided that such amount may be less than $10,000,000 if such amount represents all remaining availability under the limit set forth clause (iii) of this Section 2.12(d)); and

(iii) the aggregate principal amount of Incremental Term Loans together with the aggregate principal amount of Permitted Incremental Equivalent Debt, calculated on a pro forma basis after giving effect to any such incurrence, shall not result in a Secured Net Leverage Ratio for the Test Period most recently ended in excess of 4.00 to 1.00 (calculating the Secured Net Leverage Ratio without netting the cash proceeds from such Incremental Term Loans) (the “Available Incremental Amount”).

(e) Required Terms. The terms, provisions and documentation of the Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Term Commitments of any Class and any Term Loan Increase shall be as agreed between the Borrower and the applicable Incremental Term Lenders providing such Incremental Term Commitments, and except as otherwise set forth herein, to the extent not identical to the Term Loans existing on the Incremental Facility Closing Date, shall be reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent; provided that the documentation governing any Incremental Term Loans may include any Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant so long as the Administrative Agent shall have been given prompt written notice thereof and this Agreement is amended to include such Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant for the benefit of each Facility; provided, further, that in the case of a Term Loan Increase, the terms, provisions and documentation of such Term Loan Increase shall be identical (other than with respect to upfront fees, OID or similar fees, it being understood that, if required to consummate such Term Loan Increase transaction, the interest rate margins and rate floors may be increased and additional upfront or similar fees may be payable to the lenders providing the Term Loan Increase) to the applicable Term Loans being increased, in each case, as existing on the Incremental Facility Closing Date. In any event:

(i) the Incremental Term Loans:

(A) shall rank equal in priority in right of payment and of security with the Initial Term Loans,

(B) shall not mature earlier than the Original Term Loan Maturity Date,

(C) shall have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity not shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Initial Term Loans on the date of incurrence of such Incremental Term Loans (without giving effect to any amortization or prepayment of Term Loans prior to the time of such incurrence),

84

(D) shall have an Applicable Rate and, subject to clauses (e)(i)(B) and (e)(i)(C) above and clause (e)(ii) below, amortization determined by the Borrower and the applicable Incremental Term Lenders, and

(E) may participate on a pro rata basis or less than pro rata basis (but, except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any mandatory prepayments of Term Loans under Section 2.03(b)(i), (ii) or (iii)(A), as specified in the applicable Incremental Amendment.

(ii) the amortization schedule applicable to any Incremental Term Loans and the All-In Yield applicable to the Incremental Term Loans of each Class shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable Incremental Term Lenders and shall be set forth in each applicable Incremental Amendment; provided, however, that with respect to any Loans made under Incremental Term Commitments within twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, the All-In Yield applicable to such Incremental Term Loans shall not be greater than the applicable All-In Yield payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement as amended through the date of such calculation with respect to Initial Term Loans plus 50 basis points per annum unless the interest rate (together with, as provided in the proviso below, the Eurodollar Rate floor) with respect to the Initial Term Loans is increased so as to cause the then applicable All-In Yield under this Agreement on the Initial Term Loans to equal the All-In Yield then applicable to the Incremental Term Loans minus 50 basis points; provided that any increase in All-In Yield on the Initial Term Loans due to the application of a Eurodollar Rate floor on any Incremental Term Loan shall be effected solely through an increase in (or implementation of, as applicable) the Eurodollar Rate floor applicable to such Loans.

(f) Incremental Amendment. Commitments in respect of Incremental Term Loans shall become Commitments, under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Incremental Term Lender providing such Incremental Term Commitments and the Administrative Agent. The Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any other Loan Party, Agent or Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.12. For the avoidance of doubt, unless otherwise required by the Incremental Term Lenders, the effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment shall not be subject to the bring-down of the representations and warranties of the Borrower and each other Loan Party contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document on and as of the date of such Borrowing of Incremental Term Loans; provided, however, that with respect to any Incremental Term Loans to finance an acquisition permitted by this Agreement, the condition to the availability or borrowing of such Incremental Term Loans that the Specified Representations as they relate to the target of such acquisition (conformed as necessary for such acquisition) be true and correct in all material respects as of the date of such Borrowing, may not be waived without the consent of the Required Lenders. In connection with any Incremental Amendment, the Borrower shall, if reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, deliver customary reaffirmation agreements and/or such amendments to the Collateral Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in order to ensure that such Incremental Term Loans are provided with the benefit of the applicable Loan Documents. The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Incremental Term Loans for any purpose not prohibited by this Agreement. No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Term Commitments or Incremental Term Loans unless it so agrees.

(g) This Section 2.12 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.10, 2.11 or 10.01 to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, any of the provisions of this Section 2.12 may be amended with the consent of the Required Lenders. For the avoidance of doubt, no Incremental Amendment shall effect any amendments that would require the consent of each affected Lender or all Lenders pursuant to the proviso in the first paragraph of Section 10.01, unless each such Lender has, or all such Lenders have, as the case may, given its or their consent to such amendment.

85

SECTION 2.13 Refinancing Amendments.

(a) At any time after the Closing Date, the Borrower may obtain, from any Lender or any Additional Lender, Other Term Loans to refinance all or any portion of the applicable Class or Classes of Loans then outstanding under this Agreement which will be made pursuant to Other Term Loan Commitments, pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment; provided that such Other Term Loans (i) may rank equal in priority in right of payment and of security with the other Loans and Commitments hereunder, (ii)(A) will have interest rates (including through fixed interest rates), interest margins, rate floors, upfront fees, funding discounts, original issue discounts and prepayment terms and premiums as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Lenders thereof and/or (B) additional fees and/or premiums may be payable to the Lenders providing such Other Term Loans in addition to any of the items contemplated by the preceding clause (A), in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Refinancing Amendment, (iii) may have optional prepayment terms (including call protection and prepayment terms and premiums) as may be agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders thereof, (iv) will have a final maturity date no earlier than, and will have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity equal to or greater than, the Loans being refinanced (except by virtue of amortization or prepayment of the Loans prior to the time of such refinancing) and (v) will have such other terms and conditions (other than as provided in foregoing clauses (ii) through (iv)) that are identical in all material respects to, or (taken as a whole) are no more restrictive on the Borrower than those applicable to the Loans being refinanced (provided that such terms shall not be deemed to be “more restrictive” solely as a result of the inclusion in the documentation governing such Other Term Loan Commitments and Other Term Loans of a Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant so long as the Administrative Agent shall be given prompt written notice thereof and this Agreement is amended to include such Previously Absent Financial Maintenance Covenant for the benefit of each Facility); provided, further, that the terms and conditions applicable to such Other Term Loan Commitments and Other Term Loans may provide for any additional or different financial or other covenants or other provisions that are agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders thereof and applicable only during periods after the Latest Maturity Date in respect of Term Loans that is in effect immediately prior to the date in respect of the Class of Loans being refinanced that is in effect on the date such Other Term Loan Commitments and Other Term Loans are incurred or obtained. Any Other Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or on a less than pro rata basis (but, except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any mandatory prepayments under Section 2.03(b)(i), (ii) or (iii)(A), as specified in the applicable Refinancing Amendment. In connection with any Refinancing Amendment, the Borrower shall, if reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, deliver customary reaffirmation agreements and/or such amendments to the Collateral Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in order to ensure that such Other Term Loans are provided with the benefit of the applicable Loan Documents.

(b) Each Class of Other Term Loan Commitments and Other Term Loans incurred under this Section 2.13 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $20,000,000 (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may determine in its sole discretion). The Administrative 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 Other Term Loan Commitments and Other Term Loans incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Other Term Loans and/or Other Term Loan Commitments as Loans and Commitments). 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 Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.13.

(c) This Section 2.13 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.10, 2.11 or 10.01 to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, any of the provisions of this Section 2.13 may be amended with the consent of the Required Lenders. For the avoidance of doubt, no Refinancing Amendment shall effect any amendments that would require the consent of each affected Lender or all Lenders pursuant to the proviso in the first paragraph of Section 10.01, unless each such Lender has, or all such Lenders have, as the case may be, given its or their consent to such amendment. No Lender shall be under any obligation to provide any Other Term Loan Commitment unless such Lender executes a Refinancing Amendment.

86

SECTION 2.14 Extensions of Loans.

(a) Extension of Term Loans. The Borrower, at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Term Loans of any Class (each, an “Existing Term Loan Class”) be converted or exchanged to extend the scheduled Maturity Date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of such Term Loans (any such Term Loans which have been so extended, “Extended Term Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.14. Prior to entering into any Extension Amendment with respect to any Extended Term Loans, the Borrower shall provide written notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Lenders under the applicable Existing Term Loan Class, with such request offered equally to all such Lenders of such Existing Term Loan Class) (each, a “Term Loan Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Term Loans to be established, which terms shall be identical in all material respects to the Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan Class from which they are to be extended except that (i) the scheduled final maturity date shall be extended and all or any of the scheduled amortization payments, if any, of all or a portion of any principal amount of such Extended Term Loans may be delayed to later dates than the scheduled amortization, if any, of principal of the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Class (with any such delay resulting in a corresponding adjustment to the scheduled amortization payments reflected in the Extension Amendment, the Incremental Amendment, the Refinancing Amendment or any other amendment, as the case may be, with respect to the Existing Term Loan Class from which such Extended Term Loans were extended, in each case as more particularly set forth in Section 2.14(b) below), (ii)(A) the interest rates (including through fixed interest rates), interest margins, rate floors, upfront fees, funding discounts, original issue discounts and voluntary prepayment terms and premiums with respect to the Extended Term Loans may be different than those for the Term Loans of such Existing Term Loan Class and/or (B) additional fees and/or premiums may be payable to the Lenders providing such Extended Term Loans in addition to any of the items contemplated by the preceding clause (A), in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, (iii) the Extended Term Loans may have optional prepayment terms (including call protection and prepayment terms and premiums) as may be agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders thereof, (iv) any Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or less than a pro rata basis (but, except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, not greater than a pro rata basis) in any mandatory prepayments under Section 2.03(b)(i), (ii) or (iii)(A), in each case as specified in the respective Term Loan Extension Request, and (v) the Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply to any period after the Latest Maturity Date in respect of Term Loans that is in effect immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Term Loans. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to have any of its Term Loans of any Existing Term Loan Class converted into Extended Term Loans pursuant to any Term Loan Extension Request. Any Extended Term Loans extended pursuant to any Term Loan Extension Request shall be designated a series (each, a “Term Loan Extension Series”) of Extended Term Loans for all purposes of this Agreement and shall constitute a separate Class of Loans from the Existing Term Loan Class from which they were extended; provided that any Extended Term Loans amended from an Existing Term Loan Class may, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Term Loan Extension Series with respect to such Existing Term Loan Class.

(b) Extension Request. The Borrower shall provide the applicable Term Loan Extension Request to the Administrative Agent at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may determine in its sole discretion) prior to the date on which Lenders under the applicable Existing Term Loan Class are requested to respond. Any Lender holding a Term Loan under an Existing Term Loan Class (each, an “Extending Term Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Term Loans of an Existing Term Loan Class or Existing Term Loan Classes, as applicable, subject to such Term Loan Extension Request converted or exchanged into Extended Term Loans shall notify the Administrative Agent (each, an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Term Loan Extension Request of the amount of its Term Loans which it has elected to convert or exchange into Extended Term Loans. In the event that the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans subject to Extension Elections exceeds the amount of Extended Term Loans requested pursuant to the Term Loan Extension Request, Term Loans subject to Extension Elections shall be converted or exchanged into Extended Term Loans on a pro rata basis (subject to such rounding requirements as may be established by the Administrative Agent) based on the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans included in each such Extension Election or as may be otherwise agreed to in the applicable Extension Amendment.

(c) Extension Amendment. Extended Term Loans shall be established pursuant to an amendment (each, a “Extension Amendment”) to this Agreement (which, except to the extent expressly

87

contemplated by the penultimate sentence of this Section 2.14(c) and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 10.01, shall not require the consent of any Lender other than the Extending Term Lenders with respect to the Extended Term Loans established thereby, as the case may be) executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Extending Term Lenders. Each request for a Term Loan Extension Series of Extended Term Loans proposed to be incurred under this Section 2.14 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $20,000,000 (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may determine in its sole discretion) (it being understood that the actual principal amount thereof provided by the applicable Lenders may be lower than such minimum amount). In addition to any terms and changes required or permitted by Section 2.14(a), each of the parties hereto agrees that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended pursuant to an Extension Amendment, without the consent of any other Lenders, to the extent necessary to (i) in respect of each Extension Amendment in respect of Extended Term Loans, amend the scheduled amortization payments pursuant to Section 2.05 or the applicable Incremental Amendment, Extension Amendment, Refinancing Amendment or other amendment, as the case may be, with respect to the Existing Term Loan Class from which the Extended Term Loans were exchanged to reduce each scheduled repayment amount for the Existing Term Loan Class in the same proportion as the amount of Term Loans of the Existing Term Loan Class is to be reduced pursuant to such Extension Amendment (it being understood that the amount of any repayment amount payable with respect to any individual Term Loan of such Existing Term Loan Class that is not an Extended Term Loan shall not be reduced as a result thereof); (ii) reflect the existence and terms of the Extended Term Loans incurred pursuant thereto; (iii) modify the prepayments set forth in Section 2.03 to reflect the existence of the Extended Term Loans and the application of prepayments with respect thereto and (iv) effect such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.14, and the Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any such Extension Amendment. In connection with any Extension Amendment, the Borrower shall, if reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, deliver customary reaffirmation agreements and/or such amendments to the Collateral Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in order to ensure that such Extended Term Loans are provided with the benefit of the applicable Loan Documents.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, on any date on which any Existing Term Loan Class and is converted or exchanged to extend the related scheduled maturity date(s) in accordance with paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 2.14, in the case of the existing Term Loans of each Extending Term Lender, the aggregate principal amount of such existing Loans shall be deemed reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Extended Term Loans so converted or exchanged by such Lender on such date, and the Extended Term Loans shall be established as a separate Class of Loans (together with any other Extended Term Loans so established on such date), except as otherwise provided under Section 2.14(a).

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

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

88

(g) This Section 2.14 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.10, 2.11 or 10.01 to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, any of the provisions of this Section 2.14 may be amended with the consent of the Required Lenders. For the avoidance of doubt, no Extension Amendment shall effect any amendments that would require the consent of each affected Lender or all Lenders pursuant to the proviso in the first paragraph of Section 10.01, unless each such Lender has, or all such Lenders have, as the case may be, given its or their consent to such amendment.

SECTION 2.15 Prepayment Premium.

In the event that, on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Borrower make any prepayment of Initial Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.03(a)(i) or 2.03(b)(iii), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each applicable Lender, a prepayment premium of 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Term Loans being prepaid.

ARTICLE III

Taxes, Increased Costs Protection and Illegality

SECTION 3.01 Taxes.

(a) Except as required by applicable Law, any and all payments by any Loan Party to or for the account of any Agent or any Lender under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes.

(b) If any Loan Party or any other applicable withholding agent is required by applicable Law to make any deduction or withholding on account of any Taxes from any sum paid or payable by any Loan Party to any Lender or Agent under any of the Loan Documents: (i) the applicable Loan Party shall notify the Administrative Agent of any such requirement or any change in any such requirement as soon as such Loan Party becomes aware of it; (ii) the applicable Loan Party or other applicable withholding agent shall make such deduction or withholding and pay to the relevant Governmental Authority any such Tax before the date on which penalties attach thereto, such payment to be made (if the liability to pay is imposed on any Loan Party) for its own account or (if that liability is imposed on the Lender or Agent) on behalf of and in the name of the Lender or Agent (as applicable); (iii) if the Tax in question is a Non-Excluded Tax or Other Tax, the sum payable to such Lender or Agent (as applicable) shall be increased by such Loan Party to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of any required deduction or withholding for Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes (including any deductions or withholdings for Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes attributable to any payments required to be made under this Section 3.01), the Lender or the Agent (as applicable), receives on the due date a net sum equal to what it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been required or made; and (iv) within thirty days after paying any sum from which it is required by Law to make any deduction or withholding, and within thirty days after the due date of payment of any Tax which it is required by clause (ii) above to pay, the Borrower making such payments shall deliver to the Administrative Agent evidence reasonably satisfactory to the other affected parties of such deduction or withholding and of the remittance thereof to the relevant Governmental Authority.

(c) Status of Lender. Each Lender shall, at such times as are reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, provide the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with any documentation prescribed by Laws or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent certifying as to any entitlement of such Lender to an exemption from, or reduction in, withholding Tax with respect to any payments to be made to such Lender under any Loan Document. Each such Lender shall, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such documentation (including any specific documentation required below in this Section 3.01(c)) obsolete, expired or inaccurate in any material respect, deliver promptly to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) or promptly notify the Borrower and Administrative Agent of its inability to do so.

89

Without limiting the foregoing:

(i) Each U.S. Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement two properly completed and duly signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding.

(ii) Each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) whichever of the following is applicable:

(A) two properly completed and duly signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms) claiming eligibility for the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, and such other documentation as required under the Code,

(B) two properly completed and duly signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms),

(C) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code, (A) two properly completed and duly signed certificates substantially in the form of Exhibit F (any such certificate, a “United States Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (B) two properly completed and duly signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms),

(D) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Foreign Lender is a partnership or a participating Lender), Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) of the Foreign Lender, accompanied by a Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, United States Tax Compliance Certificate, Form W-9, Form W-8IMY or any other required information (or any successor forms) from each beneficial owner that would be required under this Section 3.01(c) if such beneficial owner were a Lender, as applicable (provided that, if one or more beneficial owners are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, the United States Tax Compliance Certificate may be provided by such Foreign Lender on behalf of such beneficial owner), or

(E) two properly completed and duly signed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable U.S. federal income tax laws (including the Treasury Regulations) as a basis for claiming a complete exemption from, or a reduction in, United States federal withholding tax on any payments to such Lender under the Loan Documents.

(iii) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Sections 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this paragraph, the term “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this clause (c), a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver.

90

(d) In addition to the payments by a Loan Party required by Section 3.01(b), the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(e) The Loan Parties shall, jointly and severally, indemnify a Lender or Agent (each a “Tax Indemnitee”), within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Non-Excluded Taxes paid or payable by such Tax Indemnitee on or attributable to any payment under or with respect to any Loan Document, and any Other Taxes payable by such Tax Indemnitee (including Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.01), whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability prepared in good faith and delivered by the Tax Indemnitee or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of another Tax Indemnitee, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(f) If and to the extent that a Tax Indemnitee, in its sole discretion (exercised in good faith), determines that it has received a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes in respect of which it has received additional payments under this Section 3.01, then such Tax Indemnitee shall pay to the relevant Loan Party the amount of such refund, net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Tax Indemnitee (including any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund), and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Loan Party, upon the request of the Tax Indemnitee, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Tax Indemnitee if the Tax Indemnitee is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will the Tax Indemnitee be required to pay any amount to a Loan Party pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the Tax Indemnitee in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Tax Indemnitee would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require a Tax Indemnitee to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person.

(g) The agreements in this Section 3.01 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

SECTION 3.02 Illegality. If any Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on written notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans and shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate with respect to any Base Rate Loans, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

91

SECTION 3.03 Inability to Determine Rates. If the Required Lenders reasonably determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan, or (c) the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Eurodollar Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

SECTION 3.04 Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy; Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans.

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated by Section 3.04(d));

(ii) subject any Lender to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and any Excluded Taxes); or

(iii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Rate Loans made by such Lender that is not otherwise accounted for in the definition of “Eurodollar Rate” or this clause (a);

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan the interest on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, from time to time within fifteen (15) days after demand by such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail such increased costs (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered; provided that such amounts shall only be payable by the Borrower to the applicable Lender under this Section 3.04(a) so long as it is such Lender’s general policy or practice to demand compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other financing agreements.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by it to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, as the case may be, could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time upon

92

demand of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the charge and the calculation of such reduced rate of return (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower will pay to such Lender additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered; provided that such amounts shall only be payable by the Borrower to the applicable Lender under this Section 3.04(b) so long as it is such Lender’s general policy or practice to demand compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other financing agreements.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 3.04 and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof.

(d) Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans. The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Borrower shall have received at least 10 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice 10 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable 10 days from receipt of such notice.

SECTION 3.05 Funding Losses. Upon written demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, which demand shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense actually incurred by it as a result of:

(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day prior to the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

(b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Eurodollar Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; or

(c) any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.07;

including any loss or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits or margin) actually incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.

SECTION 3.06 Matters Applicable to All Requests for Compensation.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the good faith judgment of such Lender such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in any material economic, legal or regulatory respect.

93

(b) Suspension of Lender Obligations. If any Lender requests compensation by the Borrower under Section 3.04, the Borrower may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans from one Interest Period to another Interest Period, or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans, until the event or condition giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 3.06(c) shall be applicable); provided that such suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to receive the compensation so requested.

(c) Conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans. If any Lender gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04 hereof that gave rise to the conversion of such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loans no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when Eurodollar Rate Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans of a given Class held by the Lenders of such Class holding Eurodollar Rate Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, interest rate basis, and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of Sections 3.01 or 3.04 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of Section 3.01 or 3.04 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the event giving rise to such claim and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the circumstance giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

SECTION 3.07 Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances. If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04 or ceases to make Eurodollar Rate Loans as a result of any condition described in Section 3.02 or Section 3.04, (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, (iii) any Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender or (iv) any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives the Borrower the right to replace a Lender as a party hereto, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, (x) require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.07), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (or, with respect to clause (iii) above, all of its interests, rights and obligations with respect to the Class of Loans or Commitments that is the subject of the related consent, waiver, or amendment, as applicable) and the related Loan Documents to one or more Eligible Assignees that shall assume such obligations (any of which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

(a) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.07(b)(iv);

(b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the applicable outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05 and any “prepayment premium” pursuant to Section 2.15 that would otherwise be owed in connection therewith) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(c) such Lender being replaced pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall (i) execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to all, or a portion, as applicable, of such Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Loans, and (ii) deliver any Term Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or Administrative Agent (or a lost or destroyed note indemnity in lieu thereof); provided that the failure of any such Lender to execute an Assignment and Assumption or deliver such Term Notes shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment) invalid and such assignment shall be recorded in the Register and the Term Notes shall be deemed to be canceled upon such failure;

94

(d) the Eligible Assignee shall become a Lender hereunder and the assigning Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder with respect to such assigned Loans, Commitments and participations, except with respect to indemnification and confidentiality provisions under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such assigning Lender;

(e) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(f) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws; and

(g) the Lender that acts as Administrative Agent cannot be replaced in its capacity as Administrative Agent other than in accordance with Section 9.06,

or (y) terminate the Commitment of such Lender and repay all Obligations of the Borrower owing to such Lender relating to the Loans and participations held by such Lender as of such termination date (including any “prepayment premium” pursuant to Section 2.15 that would otherwise be owed in connection therewith); provided that in the case of any such termination of the Commitment of a Non-Consenting Lender such termination shall be sufficient (together with all other consenting Lenders) to cause the adoption of the applicable consent, waiver or amendment of the Loan Documents and such termination shall, with respect to clause (iii) above, be in respect of all of its interests, rights and obligations with respect to the Class of Loans or Commitments that is the subject of the related consent, waiver and amendment.

In the event that (i) any of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent has requested that the Lenders consent to a departure or waiver of any provisions of the Loan Documents or agree to any amendment thereto, (ii) the consent, waiver or amendment in question requires the agreement of each Lender, all affected Lenders or all the Lenders or all affected Lenders with respect to a certain Class or Classes of the Loans/Commitments and (iii) the Required Lenders or Required Facility Lenders, as applicable, have agreed to such consent, waiver or amendment, then any Lender who does not agree to such consent, waiver or amendment shall be deemed a “Non-Consenting Lender.”

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

SECTION 3.08 Survival. All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder and resignation of the Administrative Agent.

(a) Each of the Loan Parties and each of its Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) each of the Loan Parties and each of its Subsidiaries has all requisite power and authority to (i) own its property and assets and to carry on its business as now conducted and, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, is qualified to do business in, and is in good standing in, every jurisdiction where such qualification is required and (ii) in the case of the Loan Parties, execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is a party and (c) each Loan Party is in compliance with all Law applicable to it or its property, except where the failure to be so in compliance, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 5.02 Authorization; Enforceability.

The execution, delivery and performance by each of the Loan Parties of each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, the borrowing of Term Loans and the use of the proceeds thereof are, to the extent applicable, within each applicable Loan Party’s organizational powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary organizational and, if required, equityholder action of such Loan Party. Each Loan Document to which each Loan Party is a party has been duly executed and delivered by such Loan Party and is a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity.

SECTION 5.03 Governmental Authorization; No Conflict. The execution, delivery and performance by each of the Loan Parties of each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, the borrowing of Loans and the use of the proceeds thereof (a) do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except (i) such as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect and (ii) for filings necessary to perfect Liens created pursuant to the Loan Documents, (b) will not violate any Law applicable to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, (c) will not contravene the terms of any of such Person’s Organizational Documents, (d) will not violate or result in a default under any indenture, agreement or other instrument binding upon any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or its assets, or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, and (e) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, except Liens created pursuant to the Loan Documents, the Senior Notes Documents and the ABL Credit Documents; except, in each case other than with respect to the creation of Liens, to the extent that any such violation, default or right, or any failure to obtain such consent or approval or to take any such action, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 5.04 Insurance. All insurance required by Section 6.07 is in full force and effect and all premiums in respect of such insurance have been duly paid. The Borrower believes that the insurance maintained by or on behalf of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries is adequate and is in accordance with normal industry practice.

SECTION 5.05 Financial Statements; No Material Adverse Effect.

(a) (i) The Annual Financial Statements and the Quarterly Financial Statements fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Acquired Company and its Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the results of operations of the Acquired Company and its Subsidiaries for the period covered thereby in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods covered thereby, (A) except as otherwise expressly noted therein and (B) subject, in the case of the Quarterly Financial Statements, to changes resulting from normal year-end adjustments and the absence of footnotes.

98

The Pro Forma Financial Statements have been prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable as of the date thereof, and presents fairly on a pro forma basis the estimated financial position of the Borrower its consolidated Subsidiaries as at the Pro Forma Balance Sheet Date, assuming that the events specified in the preceding sentence had actually occurred at such date.

(b) Since December 31, 2013, there has been no event or circumstance, either individually or in the aggregate, that has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 5.06 Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened against or affecting the Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries (i) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, would reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) that involve any Loan Documents.

SECTION 5.07 Labor Matters. Except as, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect: (a) there are no strikes, lockouts or slowdowns against any Loan Party pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened, (b) the hours worked by and payments made to employees of the Loan Parties and the Subsidiaries have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable federal, state, provincial, local or foreign law dealing with such matters and (c) all payments due from any Loan Party or any Subsidiary, on account of wages and employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits, have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the Loan Party or such Subsidiary to the extent required by GAAP. Except as, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect the consummation of the Transactions will not give rise to a right of termination or right of renegotiation on the part of any union under any collective bargaining agreement to which any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries (or any predecessor) is a party or by which any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries (or any predecessor) is bound.

SECTION 5.08 Ownership of Property; Liens. Each Loan Party and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries has good and insurable fee simple title to, or valid leasehold interests in, or easements or other limited property interests in, all its real properties and has good and marketable title to its personal property and assets, in each case, except for defects in title that do not materially interfere with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such properties and assets for their intended purposes and except where the failure to have such title would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. All such properties and assets are free and clear of Liens, other than Liens (i) permitted by Section 7.01 or (ii) arising by operation of law (which Liens, in the case of this clause (ii) do not materially interfere with the ability of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries to carry on its business as now conducted or to utilize the affected properties or assets for their intended purposes).

99

SECTION 5.10 Taxes. Each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries has timely filed or caused to be filed all Tax returns and reports required to have been filed and has paid or caused to be paid all Taxes required to have been paid by it, except (a) Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which such Loan Party or such Subsidiary, as applicable, has set aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP or (b) to the extent that the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 5.11 ERISA Compliance. No ERISA Event has occurred in the five year period prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made and is continuing or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under all Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair market value of the assets of such Plans, in the aggregate.

SECTION 5.12 Subsidiaries. As of the Closing Date, Schedule 5.12 sets forth (a) a correct and complete list of the name and relationship to the Borrower of each and all of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries, (b) a true and complete listing of each class of the Borrower’s and each Subsidiary’s authorized Equity Interests, of which all of such issued shares are validly issued, outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable, and owned beneficially and of record by the Persons identified on Schedule 5.12, and (c) the type of entity of the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries. All of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of the Subsidiaries owned by any Loan Party have been (to the extent such concepts are relevant with respect to such ownership interests) duly authorized and issued and are fully paid and non-assessable free and clear of all Liens (other than Liens permitted pursuant to Section 7.01).

SECTION 5.13 Federal Reserve Regulations; Investment Company Act.

(a) On the Closing Date, none of the Collateral is Margin Stock. No Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of buying or carrying Margin Stock. No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used, whether directly or indirectly, and whether immediately, incidentally or ultimately for any purpose that entails a violation of, or that is inconsistent with, the provisions of Regulation T, U or X.

Except as, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, there is no pending or, to any Borrower’s knowledge, threatened claim that any Loan Party’s ownership, use, marketing, sale or distribution of any inventory or other product violates another Person’s intellectual property rights.

SECTION 5.16 Solvency. As of the Closing Date, and immediately after giving effect to the Transactions: (i) the fair value of the assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, at a fair valuation, will exceed the debts and liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis; (ii) the present fair saleable value of the property of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, on their debts and other liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured; (iii) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, will be able to pay their debts and liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured; and (iv) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the businesses in which they are engaged as such businesses are now conducted and are proposed to be conducted following the Closing Date.

SECTION 5.17 Subordination of Junior Financing. The Obligations for principal, interest (including, to the extent legally permitted, all interest accrued thereon after the commencement of any insolvency or liquidation proceeding at the rate, including any applicable post-default rate, specified in the applicable agreement), premium (if any), fees, indemnifications, reimbursements, expenses, damages and other liabilities payable under the Loan Documents constitute “Senior Indebtedness” under and as defined in the Senior Notes Documents.

SECTION 5.18 USA Patriot Act and OFAC.

Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) and any other enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto.

SECTION 5.19 Collateral Documents. The provisions of the Collateral Documents are effective to create legal and valid Liens on the applicable Collateral described therein in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties (in each case, to the extent such matter is governed by the laws of the United States or any jurisdiction therein) and upon the taking of all actions described in the Loan Documents (but subject to the limitations set forth therein), including, without limitation, the filing of UCC financing statements covering the appropriate Collateral in the jurisdiction of

101

organization of each Loan Party and the filings of short form agreements or other applicable documents or notices in respect of registered and applied for United States federal intellectual property owned by each Loan Party, such Liens will constitute perfected Liens on the Collateral, securing the applicable Obligations, enforceable against the applicable Loan Party, and having priority over all other Liens on the Collateral except in the case of (a) Permitted Liens and other Liens permitted under Section 7.01, to the extent any such Permitted Liens or such Liens would have priority over the Liens in favor of the Agent pursuant to any applicable law or otherwise, (b) Liens perfected only by possession (including possession of any certificate of title) to the extent the Agent has not obtained or does not maintain possession of such Collateral and (c) subject to and as provided for under the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements, the Liens granted on the Collateral under the Senior Notes Documents and the ABL Credit Documents.

The Borrower hereby agree that (w) at the Administrative Agent’s request, all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any MNPI (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 10.08); (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated as “Public Side Information”; and (z) the Administrative Agent and the Arranger shall treat the Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not marked as “Public Side Information.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall be under no obligation to mark the Borrower Materials “PUBLIC.”

Each notice pursuant to this Section 6.03 shall be accompanied by a written statement of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower (x) that such notice is being delivered pursuant to Section 6.03(a) or (b) (as applicable) and (y) setting forth details of the occurrence referred to therein and stating what action the Borrower has taken and propose to take with respect thereto.

SECTION 6.06 Maintenance of Properties. Except if the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, maintain, preserve and protect all of its material properties and equipment used in the operation of its business in good working order, repair and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted and casualty or condemnation excepted.

SECTION 6.07 Maintenance of Insurance. (a) Maintain with insurance companies that the Borrower believes (in the good faith judgment of its management) are financially sound and reputable at the time the relevant coverage is placed or renewed, insurance with respect to the Borrower’s and the Restricted Subsidiaries’ properties and business against loss or damage of the kinds customarily insured against by Persons engaged in the same or similar business, of such types and in such amounts (after giving effect to any self-insurance reasonable and customary for similarly situated Persons engaged in the same or similar businesses as the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries) as are customarily carried under similar circumstances by such other Persons, and will furnish to the Lenders, upon written request from the Administrative Agent, information presented in reasonable detail as to the insurance so carried; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary be required to obtain or maintain insurance that is more restrictive than its normal course of practice. Each such policy of insurance shall as appropriate, (i) name the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, as an additional insured thereunder as its interests may appear and/or (ii) in the case of each casualty insurance policy, contain an additional loss payable clause or endorsement that names the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, as the additional loss payee thereunder.

Maintain proper books of record and account, in which entries that are full, true and correct in all material respects and are in conformity with GAAP shall be made of all material financial transactions and matters involving the assets and business of the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be (it being understood and agreed that certain Foreign Subsidiaries maintain individual

SECTION 6.10 Inspection Rights. Permit representatives and independent contractors of the Administrative Agent and each Lender to visit and inspect any of its properties, to examine its corporate, financial and operating records, and make copies thereof or abstracts therefrom and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts with its directors, officers, and independent public accountants (subject to such accountants’ customary policies and procedures), all at the reasonable expense of the Borrower and at such reasonable times during normal business hours and as often as may be reasonably desired, upon reasonable advance notice to the Borrower; provided that, only the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders may exercise rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Section 6.10 and the Administrative Agent shall not exercise such rights more often than two (2) times during any calendar year absent the existence of an Event of Default and only one (1) such time shall be at the Borrower’s expense; provided, further, that when an Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent (or any of its representatives or independent contractors) may do any of the foregoing at the expense of the Borrower at any time during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice. The Administrative Agent shall give the Borrower the opportunity to participate in any discussions with the Borrower’s independent public accountants.

ARTICLE VII

Negative Covenants

So long as any Lender shall have any Commitment hereunder or any Loan or other Obligation hereunder (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted) shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied, the Borrower shall not, nor shall the Borrower permit any Restricted Subsidiary to:

SECTION 7.01 Liens. Create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien upon any of its property, assets or revenues, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, other than Permitted Liens.

SECTION 7.02 [Reserved].

SECTION 7.03 Indebtedness.

(a) Create, incur, issue, assume or suffer to exist any Indebtedness, other than Permitted Indebtedness.

(b) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 7.03:

(i) in the event that an item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Indebtedness described in the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness,” the Borrower, in its sole discretion, will classify or reclassify such item of Indebtedness (or any portion thereof) and will only be required to include the amount and type of such Indebtedness in one of such clauses; and

(ii) the Borrower will be entitled to divide and classify an item of Indebtedness in more than one clause of the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness.”

(c) Accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount and the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness will not be deemed to be an incurrence or issuance of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 7.03.

(d) For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed or first incurred (whichever yields the lower U.S. dollar-equivalent), in the case of revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to Refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such Refinancing would cause the applicable

107

U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such Refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such Refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed (i) the principal amount of such Indebtedness being Refinanced plus (ii) the aggregate amount of accrued interest, fees, underwriting discounts, premiums (including tender premiums) and penalties (if any) thereon and other costs and expenses (including OID, upfront fees or similar fees) incurred in connection with such Refinancing.

(e) Subject to the proviso to Section 7.03(d), the principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to Refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being Refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such Refinancing.

SECTION 7.04 Fundamental Changes.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that any release of the Liens pursuant to this Agreement and the Collateral Documents shall not be deemed to impair the security under this Agreement and that any Person may rely on such provision in delivering a certificate requesting release so long as all other provisions of this Agreement with respect to such release have been complied with.

ARTICLE IX

Administrative Agent and Other Agents

SECTION 9.01 Appointment and Authorization of the Administrative Agent. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America, N.A., to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article IX (other than Sections 9.09, 9.10, 9.11, 9.12 and 9.16) are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and the Borrower shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any such provision.

SECTION 9.02 Rights as a Lender. Any Person serving as an Agent (including as Administrative Agent) hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include each Person serving as an Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, any Agent or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Loan Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that no Agent shall be under any obligation to provide such information to them.

SECTION 9.03 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent and the Arranger shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents, and such duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, an Agent (including the Administrative Agent) and an Arranger:

(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to any Agent or Arranger is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law and 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;

(b) shall not 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 or Arranger 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 no Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent or Arranger to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law; and

(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of their Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by any Person serving as an Agent, Arranger or any of their Affiliates in any capacity.

Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Persons shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (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 the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be

124

necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.01 and 8.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by the final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender.

No Agent-Related Person shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any recital, statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Collateral Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof. The duties of the Administrative Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; the Administrative Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or the holder of any Term Note; and nothing in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Administrative Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document except as expressly set forth herein or therein.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any provision of any other Loan Document, each Arranger is named as such for recognition purposes only, and in its capacity as such shall have no powers, duties, responsibilities or liabilities with respect to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; it being understood and agreed that each Arranger shall be entitled to all indemnification and reimbursement rights in favor of the Administrative Agent as, and to the extent, provided for under Section 10.05. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Arranger shall not, solely by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, have any fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or any other Person.

SECTION 9.04 Lack of Reliance on the Administrative Agent. Independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the holder of each Term Note, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Holdings, the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with the making and the continuance of the Loans and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of Holdings, the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender or the holder of any Term Note with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender or the holder of any Term Note for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectability, priority or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the financial condition of Holdings, the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the financial condition of Holdings, the Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default.

SECTION 9.05 Certain Rights of the Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent requests instructions from the Required Lenders with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received instructions from the Required Lenders; and the Administrative Agent shall not incur liability to any Lender by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, neither any Lender nor the holder of any Term Note shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Loan Document in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders.

SECTION 9.06 Reliance by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. With respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and any other Loan Document and its duties hereunder and thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by the Administrative Agent. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

SECTION 9.07 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Documents by or through any one or more sub agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Agent-Related Persons. The exculpatory provisions of this Article IX shall apply to any such sub agent and to the Agent-Related Persons of the Administrative Agent and any such sub agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

SECTION 9.08 Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, to the extent the Administrative Agent or any other Agent-Related Person (solely to the extent any such Agent-Related Person was performing services on behalf of the Administrative Agent) is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Borrower, the Lenders will reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent or any other Agent-Related Person (solely to the extent any such Agent-Related Person was performing services on behalf of the Administrative Agent) in proportion to their respective “percentage” as used in determining the Required Lenders from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind or nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent or any other Agent-Related Person (solely to the extent any such Agent-Related Person was performing services on behalf of the Administrative Agent) in performing its duties hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s or any other Agent-Related Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Liabilities, this Section 9.08 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower, provided that such reimbursement by the Lenders shall not affect the Borrower’s continuing reimbursement obligations with respect thereto, provided, further, that the failure of any Lender to indemnify or reimburse the Administrative Agent shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation in respect thereof. The undertaking in this Section 9.08 shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, the payment of all other Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.

126

SECTION 9.09 The Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity. With respect to its obligation to make Loans under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have the rights and powers specified herein for a “Lender” and may exercise the same rights and powers as though it were not performing the duties specified herein; and the term “Lender,” “Required Lenders” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, include the Administrative Agent in its respective individual capacities. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, investment banking, trust or other business with, or provide debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party (or any Person engaged in a similar business with any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof) as if they were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, any Agent or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Loan Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that no Agent shall be under any obligation to provide such information to them.

SECTION 9.10 Holders. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Term Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment, transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case may be, shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Term Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, assignee or endorsee, as the case may be, of such Term Note or of any Term Note or Term Notes issued in exchange therefor.

SECTION 9.11 Resignation by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign from the performance of all its respective functions and duties hereunder and/or under the other Loan Documents at any time by giving 30 Business Days prior written notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent is in material breach of its obligations hereunder as Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent may be removed as the Administrative Agent at the reasonable request of the Required Lenders. Such resignation or removal shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent as provided below.

Upon any such notice of resignation by, or notice of removal of, the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder who shall be a commercial bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (provided that the Borrower’s approval shall not be required if an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or, solely with respect to the Borrower, Section 8.01(f) has occurred and is continuing).

If a successor Administrative Agent shall not have been so appointed within such 30 Business Day period, the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that the Borrower’s consent shall not be required if an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or, solely with respect to the Borrower, Section 8.01(f) has occurred and is continuing), shall then appoint a successor Administrative Agent who shall serve as Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

If no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant to the foregoing by the 35th Business Day after the date such notice of resignation was given by the Administrative Agent or such notice of removal was given by the Required Lenders or the Borrower, as applicable, the Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nonetheless become effective and the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and/or under any other Loan Document until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above. The retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section 9.11.

127

Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder and upon the execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such amendments or supplements to the Mortgages, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Required Lenders may request, in order to (i) continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the Collateral Documents or (ii) otherwise ensure that requirements of Section 6.11, 6.13 and Article XII are satisfied, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 9.11).

The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article IX and Sections 10.04 and 10.05 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Agent-Related Persons in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

Upon a resignation of the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.11, the Administrative Agent (i) shall continue to be subject to Section 10.08 and (ii) shall remain indemnified to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the provisions of this Article IX (and the analogous provisions of the other Loan Documents) shall continue in effect for the benefit of the Administrative Agent for all of its actions and inactions while serving as the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 9.12 Collateral Matters. Each Lender irrevocably authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to take the actions to be taken by them as set forth in Article XII, in cash case subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements, as applicable.

SECTION 9.13 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Documents by or through any one or more sub agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Agent-Related Persons. The exculpatory provisions of this Article IX shall apply to any such sub agent and to the Agent-Related Persons of the Administrative Agent and any such sub agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

SECTION 9.14 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.07 and 10.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

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

128

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agents and their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.07 and 10.04.

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

The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, or any similar Laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject, (b) at any other sale or foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable Law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that would vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) in the asset or assets so purchased (or in the Equity Interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are used to consummate such purchase). In connection with any such bid (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles to make a bid, (ii) to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or Equity Interests thereof shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by the vote of the Required Lenders, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in clauses (a) through (g) of Section 10.01 of this Agreement, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to assign the relevant Obligations to any such acquisition vehicle pro rata by the Lenders, as a result of which each of the Lenders shall be deemed to have received a pro rata portion of any Equity Interests and/or debt instruments issued by such an acquisition vehicle on account of the assignment of the Obligations to be credit bid, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (iv) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of debt credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Lenders pro rata and the Equity Interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of the Obligations that had been assigned to the acquisition vehicle shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action.

SECTION 9.15 Appointment of Supplemental Administrative Agents.

(a) It is the purpose of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that there shall be no violation of any Law of any jurisdiction denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact business as agent or trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in case of litigation under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and in particular in case of the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or in case the Administrative Agent deems that by reason of any present or future Law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the rights, powers or remedies granted herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or take any other action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to appoint an additional individual or institution selected by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion as a separate trustee, co-trustee, administrative agent, collateral agent, administrative sub-agent or administrative co-agent (any such additional individual or institution being referred to herein individually as a “Supplemental Administrative Agent” and collectively as “Supplemental Administrative Agents”).

129

(b) In the event that the Administrative Agent appoints a Supplemental Administrative Agent with respect to any Collateral, (i) each and every right, power, privilege or duty expressed or intended by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the Administrative Agent with respect to such Collateral shall be exercisable by and vest in such Supplemental Administrative Agent to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to enable such Supplemental Administrative Agent to exercise such rights, powers and privileges with respect to such Collateral and to perform such duties with respect to such Collateral, and every covenant and obligation contained in the Loan Documents and necessary to the exercise or performance thereof by such Supplemental Administrative Agent shall run to and be enforceable by either the Administrative Agent or such Supplemental Administrative Agent, and (ii) the provisions of this Article IX and of Sections 10.04 and 10.05 that refer to the Administrative Agent shall inure to the benefit of such Supplemental Administrative Agent and all references therein to the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be references to the Administrative Agent and/or such Supplemental Administrative Agent, as the context may require.

(c) Should any instrument in writing from any Loan Party be reasonably required by any Supplemental Administrative Agent so appointed by the Administrative Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it such rights, powers, privileges and duties, the Borrower shall, or shall cause such Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments reasonably acceptable to it promptly upon request by the Administrative Agent. In case any Supplemental Administrative Agent, or a successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Supplemental Administrative Agent, to the extent permitted by Law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Administrative Agent until the appointment of a new Supplemental Administrative Agent.

SECTION 9.16 Intercreditor Agreements. The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to enter into any Intercreditor Agreement to the extent contemplated by the terms hereof, and the parties hereto acknowledge that such Intercreditor Agreement is binding upon them. Each Lender (a) hereby agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreements, (b) hereby authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Intercreditor Agreements and to subject the Liens on the Collateral securing the Obligations to the provisions thereof and (c) without any further consent of the Lenders, hereby authorizes and instructs the Administrative Agent to negotiate, execute and deliver on behalf of the Secured Parties any intercreditor agreement or any amendment (or amendment and restatement) to the Collateral Documents or a Customary Intercreditor Agreement to effect the provisions contemplated by clause (ii) of the definition of “Permitted Liens.” In addition, each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to enter into (i) any amendments to any Intercreditor Agreements, and (ii) any other intercreditor arrangements, in the case of clauses (i), and (ii) to the extent required to give effect to the establishment of intercreditor rights and privileges as contemplated and required or permitted by Section 7.01 of this Agreement. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that any of the Administrative Agent (or one or more of their respective Affiliates) may (but are not obligated to) act as the “Senior Representative” or like term for the holders of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness under the security agreements with respect thereto and/or under the Crossing Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Equal Priority Intercreditor Agreement or other Customary Intercreditor Agreement. Each Lender waives any conflict of interest, now contemplated or arising hereafter, in connection therewith and agrees not to assert against any Agent or any of its affiliates any claims, causes of action, damages or liabilities of whatever kind or nature relating thereto.

SECTION 9.17 Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable Laws, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 3.01, each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent against, and shall make payable in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the IRS or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax ineffective). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or

130

liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this Section 9.17. The agreements in this Section 9.17 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

ARTICLE X

Miscellaneous

SECTION 10.01 Amendments, Etc. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, no amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the Required Lenders (other than with respect to any amendment or waiver contemplated in clause (g) below (in the case of clause (g), to the extent permitted by Section 2.12), which shall only require the consent of the Required Facility Lenders under the applicable Facility or Facilities, as applicable) (or by the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) and the Borrower or the applicable Loan Party, as the case may be, and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent hereby agrees to acknowledge any such waiver, consent or amendment that otherwise satisfies the requirements of this Section 10.01 as promptly as possible, however, to the extent the final form of such waiver, consent or amendment has been delivered to the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day prior to the proposed effectiveness of the consents by the Lenders party thereto, the Administrative Agent shall acknowledge such waiver, consent or amendment (i) immediately, in the case of any amendment which does not require the consent of any existing Lender under this Agreement or (ii) otherwise, within two hours of the time copies of the Required Lender consents or other applicable Lender consents required by this Section 10.01 have been provided to the Administrative Agent; and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall:

(a) extend or increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.01 or the waiver of any Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the Commitments shall not constitute extension or increase of any Commitment of any Lender);

(b) postpone any date scheduled for, or reduce the amount of, any payment of principal or interest under Section 2.05 or 2.06 (other than pursuant to Section 2.06(b)) or any payment of fees or premiums hereunder or under any Loan Document with respect to payments to any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, it being understood that the waiver of (or amendment to the terms of) any mandatory prepayment of the Loans shall not constitute a postponement of any date scheduled for the payment of principal or interest and it being further understood that any change to the definition of “Senior Net Leverage Ratio,” “Secured Net Leverage Ratio,” “Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio” or “Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” or, in each case, in the component definitions thereof shall not constitute a reduction in any amount of interest;

(c) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein on, any Loan, or (subject to clause (iii) of the proviso immediately succeeding clause (g) of this Section 10.01) any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, it being understood that any change to the definition of “Senior Net Leverage Ratio,” “Secured Net Leverage Ratio,” “Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio” or “Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” or, in each case, in the component definitions thereof shall not constitute a reduction in any rate of interest; provided that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend the definition of “Default Rate” or to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest at the Default Rate;

(d) except as contemplated by clause (c) in the sentence immediately after the proviso immediately succeeding clause (g) of this Section 10.01, change any provision of this Section 10.01 or the definition of “Required Lenders,” “Required Facility Lenders” or any other provision specifying the number of Lenders or portion of the Loans or Commitments required to take any action under the Loan Documents, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby;

131

(e) other than in a transaction permitted under Section 7.04 or Section 7.05, release all or substantially all of the Collateral in any transaction or series of related transactions, without the written consent of each Lender;

(f) other than in a transaction permitted under Section 7.04 or Section 7.05, release all or substantially all of the aggregate value of the Guaranty, without the written consent of each Lender;

(g) amend, waive or otherwise modify any term or provision (including the availability and conditions to funding under Section 2.12 with respect to Incremental Term Loans and the rate of interest applicable thereto) which directly affects Lenders of one or more Incremental Term Loans and does not directly affect Lenders under any other Facility, in each case, without the written consent of the Required Facility Lenders under such applicable Incremental Term Loans (and in the case of multiple Facilities which are affected, such Required Facility Lenders shall consent together as one Facility); provided, however, that, to the extent permitted under Section 2.12, the waivers described in this clause (g) shall only require the consent of the Required Facility Lenders under such applicable Incremental Term Loans;

and provided, further, that (i) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of, or any fees or other amounts payable to, the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (ii) Section 10.07(g) may not be amended, waived or otherwise modified without the consent of each Granting Lender all or any part of whose Loans are being funded by an SPC at the time of such amendment, waiver or other modification; and (iii) the consent of the applicable Required Facility Lenders shall be required with respect to any amendment that by its terms adversely affects the rights of Lenders under one or more Term Facilities (and in the case of multiple Term Facilities which are so adversely affected, such Required Facility Lenders shall consent together as one Term Facility) in respect of payments hereunder in a manner different than such amendment affects other Term Facilities.

Notwithstanding the foregoing,

(a) no Lender consent is required to effect any amendment or supplement to the Crossing Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Equal Priority Intercreditor Agreement or any other Customary Intercreditor Agreement (i) that is for the purpose of adding the holders of Permitted Incremental Equivalent Debt, Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness, Permitted Ratio Debt or any other Permitted Indebtedness that is Secured Indebtedness (or a Senior Representative with respect thereto) as parties thereto, as expressly contemplated by the terms of such Crossing Lien Intercreditor Agreement, such Equal Priority Intercreditor Agreement or such other Customary Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable (it being understood that any such amendment, modification or supplement may make such other changes to the applicable Intercreditor Agreement as, in the good faith determination of the Administrative Agent, are required to effectuate the foregoing and provided, that such other changes are not adverse, in any material respect, to the interests of the Lenders) or (ii) that is expressly contemplated by the Crossing Lien Intercreditor Agreement (or the comparable provisions, if any, of the Equal Priority Intercreditor Agreement or other Customary Intercreditor Agreement); provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable;

(b) this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (i) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Term Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (ii) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders;

132

(c) (i) any waiver, amendment or modification of this Agreement that by its terms affects the rights or duties under this Agreement of Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of a particular Class (but not the Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of any other Class) may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the requisite percentage in interest of the affected Class of Lenders that would be required to consent thereto under this Section 10.01 if such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder at the time, (ii) any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency (including, without limitation, amendments, supplements or waivers to any of the Collateral Documents, guarantees, intercreditor agreements or related documents executed by any Loan Party or any other Subsidiary in connection with this Agreement if such amendment, supplement or waiver is delivered in order to cause such Collateral Documents, guarantees, intercreditor agreements or related documents to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents) so long as, in each case, the Lenders shall have received at least five Business Days’ prior written notice thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment; provided that the consent of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as the case may be, shall not be required to make any such changes necessary to be made in connection with any borrowing of Incremental Term Loans, any borrowing of Other Term Loans, any Extension or any borrowing of Replacement Loans and otherwise to effect the provisions of Section 2.12, 2.13 or 2.14 or the immediately succeeding paragraph of this Section 10.01, respectively, and (C) the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may, without the input or consent of the other Lenders, (i) effect changes to any Mortgage as may be necessary or appropriate in the opinion of the Collateral Agent and (ii) effect changes to this Agreement that are necessary and appropriate to provide for the mechanics contemplated by the offering process set forth in Section 2.03(a)(iv).

In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders providing the Replacement Loans (as defined below) to permit the refinancing of all outstanding Term Loans of any Class (“Refinanced Loans”) with replacement term loans (“Replacement Loans”) hereunder; provided that (a) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Refinanced Loans, plus accrued interest, fees, premiums (if any) and penalties thereon and reasonable fees and expenses incurred in connection with such refinancing of Refinanced Loans with such Replacement Loans, (b) the All-In Yield with respect to such Replacement Loans (or similar interest rate spread applicable to such Replacement Loans) shall not be higher than the All-In Yield for such Refinanced Loans (or similar interest rate spread applicable to such Refinanced Loans) immediately prior to such refinancing, (c) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Replacement Loans shall not be shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Refinanced Loans at the time of such refinancing (except by virtue of amortization or prepayment of the Refinanced Loans prior to the time of such incurrence) and (d) all other terms applicable to such Replacement Loans shall be substantially identical to, or less favorable to the Lenders providing such Replacement Loans than, those applicable to such Refinanced Loans, except to the extent necessary to provide for covenants and other terms applicable to any period after the Latest Maturity Date of the Loans in effect immediately prior to such refinancing. Each amendment to this Agreement providing for Replacement Loans 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 Administrative Agent and the Borrower to effect the provisions of this paragraph, and for the avoidance of doubt, this paragraph shall supersede any other provisions in this Section 10.01 to the contrary.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.01, the Guaranty, the Collateral Documents and related documents executed by Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be in a form reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and may be, together with this Agreement, amended and waived with the consent of the Administrative Agent at the request of the Borrower without the need to obtain the consent of any other Lender if such amendment or waiver is delivered in order (i) to comply with local Law or advice of local counsel, (ii) to cure ambiguities or defects or (iii) to cause the Guaranty, Collateral Documents or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including by adding additional parties as contemplated herein).

If the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have jointly identified an obvious error (including, but not limited to, an incorrect cross-reference) or any error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature, in each case, in any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any exhibit, schedule or other attachment to any Loan Document), then the Administrative Agent (acting in its sole discretion) and the Borrower or any other relevant Loan Party shall be permitted to amend such provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document.

Notices and other communications delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in subsection (b) below shall be effective as provided in such subsection (b).

(b) Electronic Communication. Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Article II if such Lender, as applicable, has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article II by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY

134

ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Agent-Related Persons or any Arranger (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to Holdings, the Borrower, any Lender, or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials through the Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Agent Party; provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to Holdings, the Borrower, any Lender or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages).

(e) Change of Address. Holdings, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may change its address, facsimile or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by written notice to the other parties hereto. Each other Lender may change its address, facsimile or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. In addition, each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from time to time to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record (i) an effective address, contact name, telephone number, facsimile number and electronic mail address to which notices and other communications may be sent and (ii) accurate wire instructions for such Lender. Furthermore, each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws, to make reference to Borrower Materials that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws.

(f) Reliance by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic Committed Loan Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Agent-Related Persons of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

SECTION 10.03 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by any Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and provided under each other Loan Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Law.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.02 for the benefit of all the Lenders; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 10.09 (subject to the terms of Section 2.11), or (c) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.02 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b) and (c) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.11, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.

135

SECTION 10.04 Costs and Expenses. The Borrower agrees (a) if the Closing Date occurs, to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Arranger for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Arranger (promptly following a written demand therefor, together with backup documentation supporting such reimbursement request) incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, syndication, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any amendment, waiver, consent or other modification of the provisions hereof and thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated thereby are consummated), and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including all Attorney Costs of Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP and, if necessary, a single local counsel in each relevant material jurisdiction, and (b) upon presentation of a summary statement, together with any supporting documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower, to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, taken as a whole, promptly following a written demand therefor for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of any rights or remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including all such costs and expenses incurred during any legal proceeding, including any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, and including all Attorney Costs of one counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders taken as a whole (and, if necessary, one local counsel in any relevant material jurisdiction and solely in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel in each relevant jurisdiction to each group of affected Lenders similarly situated taken as a whole)). The agreements in this Section 10.04 shall survive the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations. All amounts due under this Section 10.04 shall be paid promptly following receipt by the Borrower of an invoice relating thereto setting forth such expenses in reasonable detail. If any Loan Party fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it hereunder or under any Loan Document, such amount may be paid on behalf of such Loan Party by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.

SECTION 10.05 Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless the Agents, each Lender, the Arranger and their respective Related Persons (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (including Attorney Costs and Environmental Liability) to which any such Indemnitee may become subject arising out of, resulting from or in connection with (but limited, in the case of legal fees and expenses, to the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel to all Indemnitees taken as a whole and, if reasonably necessary, a single local counsel for all Indemnitees taken as a whole in each relevant jurisdiction, and solely in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel in each relevant jurisdiction to each group of affected Indemnitees similarly situated taken as a whole) any actual or threatened claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to the Transactions or to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Loans or the use, or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding), and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses resulted from (x) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or any of its Related Indemnified Persons as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, (y) a material breach of any obligations under any Loan Document by such Indemnitee or any of its Related Indemnified Persons as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (z) any dispute solely among Indemnitees other than any claims against an Indemnitee in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as an administrative agent or arranger or any similar role under any Loan Document and other than any claims arising out of any act or omission of the Borrower or any of their Affiliates (as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction). To the extent that the undertakings to indemnify and hold harmless set forth in this Section 10.05 may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative of any applicable law or public policy, the Borrower shall contribute the maximum portion that they are permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through SyndTrak or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement (except to the extent such damages are found in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of such Indemnitee), nor shall any

136

Indemnitee or any Loan Party have any liability for any special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date) (other than, in the case of any Loan Party, in respect of any such damages incurred or paid by an Indemnitee to a third party for which such Indemnitee is otherwise entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 10.05). In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 10.05 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Loan Party, its directors, stockholders or creditors or an Indemnitee or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents is consummated. All amounts due under this Section 10.05 shall be paid within twenty (20) Business Days after written demand therefor. The agreements in this Section 10.05 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations. This Section 10.05 shall not apply to Taxes, except any Taxes that represent losses or damages arising from any non-Tax claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Indemnitee shall be obligated to refund and return promptly any and all amounts paid by the Borrower, Holdings, the Sponsor or any of their Affiliates under this Section 10.05 to such Indemnitee for any such fees, expenses or damages to the extent such Indemnitee is not entitled to payment of such amounts in accordance with the terms hereof.

SECTION 10.06 Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. None of the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the Loan Parties or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to any Agent or any Lender, or any Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by any Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect.

SECTION 10.07 Successors and Assigns.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and registered assigns permitted hereby, except that neither Holdings nor the Borrower may, except as permitted by Section 7.04, assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder (including, without limitation, to existing Lenders and their Affiliates) except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(b) (such an assignee, an “Eligible Assignee”) and (A) in the case of any Eligible Assignee that, immediately prior to or upon giving effect to such assignment, is an Affiliated Lender, Section 10.07(h), (B) in the case of any Eligible Assignee that is Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof, Section 10.07(l) or (C) in the case of any Eligible Assignee that, immediately prior to or upon giving effect to such assignment, is a Debt Fund Affiliate, Section 10.07(k), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(d), (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 10.07(f), or (iv) to an SPC in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(g) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 10.07(d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, Indemnitees and Related Persons of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

137

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

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section 10.07, the aggregate amount of the Commitment or, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $1,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or, solely with respect to the Borrower, Section 8.01(f) has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met.

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned.

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by Section 10.07(b)(i)(B) and, in addition:

(A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or, solely with respect to the Borrower, Section 8.01(f) has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if a “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date or (2) in respect of an assignment of all or a portion of the Term Loans only, such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided, that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any assignment of all or a portion of the Term Loans unless it shall have objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice of a failure to respond to such request for assignment; provided, further, that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment of all or a portion of the Loans pursuant to Section 10.07(h), (k) or (l); and

(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment (i) of all or a portion of the Loans pursuant to Section 10.07(g), (h), (k) or (l), or (ii) from an Agent to its Affiliate.

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent (or, if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually), and shall pay to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent). Other than in the case of assignments pursuant to Section 10.07(l), the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

138

(v) No Assignments to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made (A) to Holdings, the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries except as permitted under Section 2.03(a)(iv), (B) subject to Sections 10.07(h), (k) and (l) below, to any Affiliate of the Borrower, (C) to a natural person or (D) to any Disqualified Institution. In no event shall the Administrative Agent be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any prospective assignee is a Disqualified Institution or have any liability in connection therewith.

This Section 10.07(b) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Facilities on a non-pro rata basis among such Facilities.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (c) of this Section 10.07 (and, in the case of an Affiliated Lender or a Person that, after giving effect to such assignment, would become an Affiliated Lender, to the requirements of clause (h) of this Section 10.07), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, other than in connection with an assignment pursuant to Section 10.07(l), (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and (y) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, 10.04 and 10.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment), but shall in any event continue to be subject to Section 10.08. Upon request, and the surrender by the assigning Lender of its Term Note, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Term Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.07(d).

(c) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it, each Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption delivered to it, each notice of cancellation of any Loans delivered by the Borrower pursuant to subsections (h) or (l) below, and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of the Loans and amounts owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, any Agent and, with respect to its own Loans, any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. This Section 10.07(c) and Section 2.09 shall be construed so that all Loans are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related Treasury regulations (or any other relevant or successor provisions of the Code or of such Treasury regulations). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Administrative Agent be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender is an Affiliated Lender, nor shall the Administrative Agent be obligated to monitor the aggregate amount of the Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans held by Affiliated Lenders.

(d) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, the Borrower or any Affiliate or Subsidiary of the Borrower or a Disqualified Institution) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this

139

Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 (other than clauses (d) and (g) thereof) that directly affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section 10.07, the Borrower agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01 (subject to the requirements of Section 3.01 (including subsections (b), (c) and/or (d), as applicable as though it were a Lender)), Section 3.04 and 3.05 (through the applicable Lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 10.07. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.09 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.11 as though it were a Lender.

(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent or 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 Borrower) maintain a register complying with the requirements of Sections 163(f), 871(h) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and the Treasury regulations issued thereunder on which is entered the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender and the Borrower shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary; provided that no Lender shall have the obligation to disclose all or a portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of the Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent such disclosure is necessary to establish that any such commitments, loans, letters of credit or other obligations are in registered form for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

(f) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Term Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an “SPC”) the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan, (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof and (iii) such SPC and the applicable Loan or any applicable part thereof shall be appropriately reflected in the Participant Register. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05), (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the Lender hereunder. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee of $3,500 (which processing fee may be waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or Guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

140

(h) Any Lender may at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to Term Loans under this Agreement to a Person who is or will become, after such assignment, an Affiliated Lender through (x) Dutch auctions or other offers to purchase or take by assignment open to all Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with procedures of the type described in Section 2.03(a)(iv) or (y) open market purchase on a non-pro rata basis, in each case subject to the following limitations:

(i) Affiliated Lenders will not receive information provided solely to Lenders by the Administrative Agent or any Lender and will not be permitted to attend or participate in conference calls or meetings attended solely by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, other than the right to receive notices of prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Loans or Commitments required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to Article II;

(ii) each Affiliated Lender that purchases any Term Loans pursuant to clause (x) above shall represent and warrant to the selling Term Lender (other than any other Affiliated Lender) that it does not possess material non-public information (or material information of the type that would not be public if the Borrower or any Parent Entity were a publicly-reporting company) with respect to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries that either (1) has not been disclosed to the Term Lenders generally (other than Term Lenders that have elected not to receive such information) or (2) if not disclosed to the Term Lenders, would reasonably be expected to have a material effect on, or otherwise be material to (A) a Term Lender’s decision to participate in any such assignment or (B) the market price of such Term Loans, or shall make a statement that such representation cannot be made;

(iii) each Lender (other than any other Affiliated Lender) that assigns any Term Loans to an Affiliated Lender pursuant to clause (y) above shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower a customary Big Boy Letter (unless such Affiliated Lender is willing, in its sole discretion, to make the representation and warranty contemplated by the foregoing clause (ii));

(iv) the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans of any Class under this Agreement held by Affiliated Lenders at the time of any such purchase or assignment shall not exceed 25% of the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans of such Class outstanding at such time under this Agreement (such percentage, the “Affiliated Lender Cap”); provided that to the extent any assignment to an Affiliated Lender would result in the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans of any Class held by Affiliated Lenders exceeding the Affiliated Lender Cap, the assignment of such excess amount will be void ab initio;

(v) as a condition to each assignment pursuant to this subsection (h), the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have been provided a notice in connection with each assignment to an Affiliated Lender or a Person that upon effectiveness of such assignment would constitute an Affiliated Lender pursuant to which such Affiliated Lender shall waive any right to bring any action in connection with such Term Loans against the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such; and

(vi) the assigning Lender and the Affiliated Lender purchasing such Lender’s Term Loans shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an assignment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2 hereto (an “Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption”).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Affiliated Lender that has purchased Term Loans pursuant to this subsection (h) may, in its sole discretion, contribute, directly or indirectly, the principal amount of such Term Loans or any portion thereof, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to the Borrower for the purpose of cancelling and extinguishing such Term Loans. Upon the date of such contribution, assignment or transfer, (x) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term Loans shall reflect such cancellation and extinguishing of the Term Loans then held by the Borrower and (y) the Borrower shall promptly provide notice to the Administrative Agent of such contribution of such Term Loans, and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notice, shall reflect the cancellation of the applicable Term Loans in the Register.

Each Affiliated Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days) if it acquires any Person who is also a Lender, and each Lender agrees to

141

notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) if it becomes an Affiliated Lender. The Administrative Agent may conclusively rely upon any notice delivered pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence and/or pursuant to clause (v) of this subsection (h) and shall not have any liability for any losses suffered by any Person as a result of any purported assignment to or from an Affiliated Lender.

(i) Notwithstanding anything in Section 10.01 or the definition of “Required Lenders,” or “Required Facility Lenders” to the contrary, for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders and Required Facility Lenders (in respect of a Class of Term Loans) have (i) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, or subject to Section 10.07(j), any plan of reorganization pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, (ii) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document, or (iii) directed or required the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, no Affiliated Lender shall have any right to consent (or not consent), otherwise act or direct or require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to take (or refrain from taking) any such action and:

(i) all Term Loans held by any Affiliated Lenders shall be deemed to be not outstanding for all purposes of calculating whether the Required Lenders and Required Facility Lenders (in respect of a Class of Term Loans) have taken any actions; and

(ii) all Term Loans held by Affiliated Lenders shall be deemed to be not outstanding for all purposes of calculating whether all Lenders have taken any action unless the action in question affects such Affiliated Lender in a disproportionately adverse manner than its effect on other Lenders.

(j) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, each Affiliated Lender hereby agrees that, and each Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption shall provide a confirmation that, if a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law shall be commenced by or against the Borrower or any other Loan Party at a time when such Lender is an Affiliated Lender, such Affiliated Lender irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Administrative Agent to vote on behalf of such Affiliated Lender with respect to the Term Loans held by such Affiliated Lender in any manner in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, unless the Administrative Agent instructs such Affiliated Lender to vote, in which case such Affiliated Lender shall vote with respect to the Term Loans held by it as the Administrative Agent directs; provided that such Affiliated Lender shall be entitled to vote in accordance with its sole discretion (and not in accordance with the direction of the Administrative Agent) in connection with any plan of reorganization to the extent any such plan of reorganization proposes to treat any Obligations held by such Affiliated Lender in a disproportionately adverse manner than the proposed treatment of similar Obligations held by Term Lenders that are not Affiliated Lenders.

(k) Although Debt Fund Affiliates shall be Eligible Assignees and shall not be subject to the provisions of Section 10.07(h), (i) or (j), any Lender may, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to Term Loans under this Agreement to a Person who is or will become, after such assignment, a Debt Fund Affiliate only through (x) Dutch auctions or other offers to purchase or take by assignment open to all Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with procedures of the type described in Section 2.03(a)(iv) (for the avoidance of doubt, without requiring any representation as to the possession of material non-public information by such Affiliate) or (y) open market purchase on a non-pro rata basis. Notwithstanding anything in Section 10.01 or the definition of “Required Lenders” to the contrary, for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders have (i) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, (ii) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document or (iii) directed or required the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, all Term Loans held by Debt Fund Affiliates, in the aggregate, may not account for more than 49.9% of the Term Loans of consenting Lenders included in determining whether the Required Lenders have consented to any action pursuant to Section 10.01.

(l) Any Lender may, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to Term Loans under this

142

Agreement to Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower through (x) Dutch auctions or other offers to purchase open to all Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with procedures of the type described in Section 2.03(a)(iv) or (y) open market purchases on a non-pro rata basis; provided, that:

(i) (x) if the assignee is Holdings or a Subsidiary of the Borrower, upon such assignment, transfer or contribution, the applicable assignee shall automatically be deemed to have contributed or transferred the principal amount of such Term Loans, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to the Borrower; or (y) if the assignee is the Borrower (including through contribution or transfers set forth in clause (x)), (a) the principal amount of such Term Loans, along with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, so contributed, assigned or transferred to any the Borrower shall be deemed automatically cancelled and extinguished on the date of such contribution, assignment or transfer, (b) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term Loans of the remaining Lenders shall reflect such cancellation and extinguishing of the Term Loans then held by the Borrower and (c) the Borrower shall promptly provide notice to the Administrative Agent of such contribution, assignment or transfer of such Term Loans, and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notice, shall reflect the cancellation of the applicable Term Loans in the Register; and

(ii) each Person that purchases any Term Loans pursuant to clause (x) of this subsection (l) shall represent and warrant to the selling Term Lender (other than any Affiliated Lender) that it does not possess material non-public information (or material information of the type that would not be public if the Borrower or any Parent Entity were a publicly-reporting company) with respect to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries that either (1) has not been disclosed to the Term Lenders generally (other than Term Lenders that have elected not to receive such information) or (2) if not disclosed to the Term Lenders, would reasonably be expected to have a material effect on, or otherwise be material to (A) a Term Lender’s decision to participate in any such assignment or (B) the market price of such Term Loans, or shall make a statement that such representation cannot be made.

(m) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, (1) any Lender may in accordance with applicable Law create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the Term Note, if any, held by it and (2) any Lender that is a Fund may create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the Term Note, if any, held by it to the trustee for holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Fund as security for such obligations or securities; provided that unless and until such trustee actually becomes a Lender in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 10.07, (i) no such pledge shall release the pledging Lender from any of its obligations under the Loan Documents and (ii) such trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a Lender under the Loan Documents even though such trustee may have acquired ownership rights with respect to the pledged interest through foreclosure or otherwise.

SECTION 10.08 Confidentiality.

For purposes of this Section 10.08, “Information” means all information received from any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof relating to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof or their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to any Agent, any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof; it being understood that all information received from Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof after the date hereof shall be deemed confidential unless such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as not being confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 10.08 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so in accordance with its customary procedures if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Each Agent, each Arranger, each Lender acknowledges that (a) the Information may include trade secrets, protected confidential information, or material non-public information concerning the Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of such information and (c) it will handle such information in accordance with applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws and to preserve its trade secret or confidential character.

144

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If any Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by an Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

ARTICLE XI

Guaranty

SECTION 11.01 Guaranty Subject to this Article XI, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally, guarantees to each Lender and to the Collateral Agent and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Agreement or the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or thereunder, that: (a) the principal of and interest and premium, if any, on the Term Loans shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Term Loans, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Borrower hereunder or thereunder shall be promptly paid in full, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Term Loans or any of such other obligations, that same shall be promptly paid in full when due in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

147

The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Term Loans or this Agreement, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Lender with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Borrower, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Borrower, any right to require a proceeding first against the Borrower, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Guaranty shall not be discharged except by full payment of the obligations contained in this Agreement.

Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Collateral Agent in enforcing any rights under this Section 11.01.

If any Lender or the Collateral Agent is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Borrower, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Borrower or the Guarantors, any amount paid either to the Collateral Agent or such Borrower, this Guaranty, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.

Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Lenders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Lenders and the Collateral Agent, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article VIII hereof for the purposes of this Guaranty, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article VIII hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Guaranty. The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any nonpaying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Lenders under the Guaranty.

Each Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Borrower for liquidation, reorganization, should the Borrower become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Borrower’s assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment of the Term Loans are, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on the Term Loans or Guaranty, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent transfer” or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. In the event that any payment or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Term Loans shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

In case any provision of any Guaranty shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

The Guaranty issued by any Guarantor shall be a general secured senior obligation of such Guarantor and shall rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future First Lien Obligations of such Guarantor, if any.

Each payment to be made by a Guarantor in respect of its Guaranty shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or nature.

SECTION 11.02 Limitation on Guarantor Liability. Each Guarantor and each Lender, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guaranty of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance, or similar limitation, for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Guaranty. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the Guarantors hereby

irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Guarantor shall be limited to the maximum amount as shall, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article XI, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guaranty not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, or similar limitation, under applicable law. Each Guarantor that makes a payment under its Guaranty shall be entitled upon payment in full of all guaranteed obligations under this Agreement to a contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP.

SECTION 11.03 Execution and Delivery. To evidence its Guaranty set forth in Section 11.01 hereof, each Guarantor hereby agrees that this Agreement shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by a Responsible Officer.

Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guaranty set forth in Section 11.01 hereof shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Guaranty on any Term Loan Notes.

If required by Section 7.12 hereof, the Borrower shall cause any Restricted Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of Section 7.12 hereof and this Article XI, to the extent applicable.

SECTION 11.04 Subrogation. Each Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Lenders against the Borrower in respect of any amounts paid by any Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.01 hereof; provided that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Guarantor shall be entitled to enforce or receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until all amounts then due and payable by the Borrower under this Agreement shall have been paid in full.

SECTION 11.05 Benefits Acknowledged. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it shall receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Agreement and that the guarantee and waivers made by it pursuant to its Guaranty are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

SECTION 11.06 Release of Guaranty by Guarantors. Each Guaranty by a Guarantor shall provide by its terms that it shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged, and no further action by such Guarantor, the Borrower or the Collateral Agent is required for the release of the such Guarantor’s Guaranty, upon:

(a) (i) any sale, exchange, disposition or transfer (by merger, amalgamation, consolidation or otherwise) of (i) the Capital Stock of such Guarantor, after which the applicable Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary or (ii) all or substantially all the assets of such Guarantor, in each case if such sale, exchange, disposition or transfer is made in compliance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement;

(ii) the release or discharge of the guarantee by such Guarantor of Indebtedness under a guarantee (other than a guarantee of the ABL Credit Agreement or the Senior Notes) that resulted in the creation of such Guaranty, except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such guarantee (it being understood that a release subject to a contingent reinstatement is still a release, and that if any such Guaranty is so reinstated, such Guaranty shall also be reinstated to the extent that such Subsidiary Guarantor would then be required to provide a Guaranty pursuant to Section 7.12 hereof) (notwithstanding the foregoing, a Guaranty provided by a Guarantor on the Closing Date may not be released and discharged pursuant to this Section 11.06(a)(ii)); and

(b) the designation of any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in compliance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement.

ARTICLE XII

Collateral Documents

SECTION 12.01 Collateral and Collateral Documents.

(a) The due and punctual payment of the principal of and interest on the Term Loans when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether on an Interest Payment Date, at maturity, by acceleration, repurchase, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Term Loans and performance of all other Obligations of the Borrower and the Guarantors to the Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under this Agreement, the Term Loans, the Intercreditor Agreements and the Collateral Documents, according to the terms hereunder or thereunder, shall be secured as provided in the Collateral Documents, which define the terms of the Liens that secure the Term Loans and such other Obligations, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements. The Administrative Agent and the Borrower hereby acknowledge and agree that the Collateral Agent holds the Collateral in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, in each case pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements. Each Lender consents and agrees to the terms of the Collateral Documents (including the provisions providing for the possession, use, release and foreclosure of Collateral) and the Intercreditor Agreements as the same may be in effect or may be amended from time to time in accordance with their terms and this Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreements, and authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements and to perform its obligations and exercise its rights thereunder in accordance therewith. The Borrower shall deliver to the Collateral Agent copies of all documents pursuant to the Collateral Documents, and shall do or cause to be done all such acts and things as may be reasonably required by the next sentence of this Section 12.01, to assure and confirm to the Collateral Agent the security interest in the Collateral contemplated hereby, by the Collateral Documents or any part thereof, as from time to time constituted, so as to render the same available for the security and benefit of this Agreement and of the Term Loans secured hereby, according to the intent and purposes herein expressed. The Borrower shall, and shall cause the Restricted Subsidiaries of the Borrower to, use its and their commercially reasonable efforts to take any and all actions reasonably required to cause the Collateral Documents to create and maintain, as security for the Obligations, a valid and enforceable perfected Lien and security interest in and on all of the Collateral (subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements), in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing,

(i) the Capital Stock of the Restricted Subsidiaries of the Borrower that are owned by the Borrower or any Guarantor (other than the capital stock of the Borrower) shall constitute Collateral only to the extent that such Capital Stock can secure the Term Loans without Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act (“Rule 3-16”) (or any other law, rule or regulation) requiring separate financial statements of such Subsidiary to be filed with the SEC (or any other governmental agency);

(ii) in the event that Rule 3-16 requires or is amended, modified or interpreted by the SEC to require (or is replaced with another rule or regulation, or any other law, rule or regulation is adopted, which would require) the filing with the SEC (or any other governmental agency) of separate financial statements of any Restricted Subsidiary (other than the Borrower) due to the fact that such Subsidiary’s Capital Stock secure the Term Loans, then the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary shall automatically be deemed not to be part of the Collateral, but only to the extent necessary to not be subject to such requirement (in such event, the Collateral Documents may be amended or modified, without the consent of any Lender, to the extent necessary to release the security interests in the shares of Capital Stock and other securities that are so deemed to no longer constitute part of the Collateral); and

(iii) in the event that either Rule 3-16 is amended, modified or interpreted by the SEC to permit (or is replaced with another rule or regulation, or any other law, rule or regulation is adopted, which would permit) such Subsidiary’s Capital Stock to secure the Term Loans in excess of the amount then pledged without the filing with the SEC (or any other governmental agency) of separate financial statements of such Subsidiary, then the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary shall automatically be

150

deemed to be a part of the Collateral but only to the extent necessary to not be subject to any such financial statement requirement (in such event, the Collateral Documents may be amended or modified, without the consent of any Lender, to the extent necessary to subject to the Liens under the Collateral Documents such additional Capital Stock).

(c) In addition to the limitations described in Section 12.01(b), the Collateral shall not include (i) property or assets as to which the Collateral Agent has notified any Guarantor in writing that it has reasonably determined that the costs of obtaining a security interest are excessive in relation to the value of the security to be afforded thereby and (ii) the Excluded Assets.

(d) In the case of any Foreign Subsidiary, the Collateral shall be limited to 100% of the non-voting Capital Stock and 65% of the voting Capital Stock of such Foreign Subsidiaries.

(e) Each Lender (i) consents to the subordination of Liens provided for in the Crossing Lien Intercreditor Agreement and (ii) agrees that it shall be bound by, and shall take no actions contrary to, the provisions of the Crossing Lien Intercreditor Agreement. The foregoing provisions of this Section 12.01(e) are intended as an inducement to the holders of Indenture Noteholder Lien Obligations to acquire the Term Loans and such Lenders are intended third party beneficiaries of such provisions and of the Crossing Lien Intercreditor Agreement.

(f) In addition, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall not be required to obtain any landlord waivers, estoppels or collateral access letters and shall not be required to (i) take actions to perfect by control, other than stock pledges and control agreements relating to ABL Collateral, promissory notes, letter of credit rights and commercial tort claims, in each case not exceeding of $5,000,000 or (ii) take any actions under any laws outside of the United States to grant, perfect or enforce any security interest.

SECTION 12.02 [Reserved]

SECTION 12.03 Release of Collateral.

(a) Subject to Sections 12.03(b) and 12.04 hereof, Collateral may be released from the Lien and security interest created by the Collateral Documents at any time or from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the Collateral Documents, the Intercreditor Agreements or as provided hereby. The Borrower and the Guarantors shall be entitled to a release of property and other assets included in the Collateral from the Liens securing the Term Loans, and the Collateral Agent shall release, or instruct the Notes Collateral Agent to release, as applicable, the same from such Liens at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense, under one or more of the following circumstances:

(i) to enable the Borrower or any Guarantor to sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral to the extent not prohibited under Section 7.05 hereof;

(ii) in the case of a Guarantor that is released from its Guaranty with respect to all of the Obligations, the release of the property and assets of such Guarantor;

(iii) to the extent property is subject to a lease, upon termination of the lease;

(iv) pursuant to an amendment or waiver in accordance with Article X hereof;

(v) if all of the Term Loans have been satisfied and discharged pursuant to Article X hereof; or

(vi) upon payment in full of the principal of, together with accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the Term Loans and all other Obligations related thereto under this Agreement, the Guaranty and the Collateral Documents with respect thereto, that are due and payable at or prior to the time such principal, together with accrued and unpaid interest are paid.

151

(b) Subject to the provisions contained in the Intercreditor Agreements, in general the second-priority lien on the ABL Collateral securing the Term Loans shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the termination and repayment in full of the ABL Credit Agreement and the release by the ABL Agent of the first-priority liens on the ABL Collateral. The second-priority lien on the ABL Collateral securing the Term Loans shall terminate and be released automatically if the first-priority liens on the ABL Collateral are released by the ABL Agent (unless, at the time of such release of such first-priority liens, an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under this Agreement). Notwithstanding the existence of an Event of Default, the second-priority lien on the ABL Collateral securing the Senior Notes shall also terminate and be released automatically to the extent the first-priority liens on the ABL Collateral are released by the ABL Agent in connection with a sale, transfer or disposition of ABL Collateral that is either not prohibited under this Agreement or occurs in connection with the foreclosure of, or other exercise of remedies with respect to, such ABL Collateral by the ABL Agent (except with respect to any proceeds of such sale, transfer or disposition that remain after satisfaction in full of the obligations under the ABL Credit Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a release of liens by the ABL Agent on all or substantially all of the ABL Collateral (other than in connection with a foreclosure upon or other exercise of rights and remedies by the ABL Agent with respect to such ABL Collateral), no release of the second-priority liens on the ABL Collateral securing the Term Loans shall be made unless (i) consent to such release has been given by the requisite percentage or number of the holders of the Lenders at the time outstanding, in accordance with Section 10.01 hereof, as provided for in this Agreement or the Collateral Documents and (ii) the Borrower has delivered an Officer’s Certificate to the Collateral Agent certifying that all such consents have been obtained. The second priority Liens in the ABL Collateral securing the Term Loans that otherwise would have been released pursuant to the second sentence of this clause (b) but for the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default shall be released when such Event of Default and all other Events of Default under this Agreement cease to exist.

(c) Upon satisfaction of all conditions precedent under this Agreement and the Collateral Documents, if any, to such release have been met and any necessary or proper instruments of termination, satisfaction or release prepared by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall, or shall cause the Collateral Agent, to execute, deliver or acknowledge (at the Borrower’s expense) such instruments or releases to evidence the release of any Collateral permitted to be released pursuant to this Agreement or the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be liable for any such release executed in accordance with the terms hereof.

SECTION 12.04 Permitted Releases Not To Impair Lien. Any release of Collateral permitted by Section 12.03 hereof shall be deemed not to impair the Liens under this Agreement and the Collateral Documents in contravention thereof.

SECTION 12.05 [Reserved].

SECTION 12.06 Suits To Protect the Collateral.

Subject to the provisions of Article VIII hereof and the Intercreditor Agreements, the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion and without the consent of the Lenders, on behalf of the Lenders, may direct the Collateral Agent to take all actions it deems necessary or appropriate in order to:

(a) enforce any of the terms of the Collateral Documents; and

(b) collect and receive any and all amounts payable in respect of the Obligations hereunder.

(c) Subject to the provisions of the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements, the Administrative Agent shall have power to institute and to maintain such suits and proceedings as it may deem expedient to prevent any impairment of the Collateral by any acts which may be unlawful or in violation of any of the Collateral Documents or this Agreement, and such suits and proceedings as the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may deem expedient to preserve or protect its interests and the interests of the Lenders in the Collateral (including power to institute and maintain suits or proceedings to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislative or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid if the enforcement of, or compliance with, such enactment, rule or order would impair the Lien on the Collateral or be prejudicial to the interests of the Lenders or the Collateral Agent). Nothing in this Section 12.06 shall be considered to impose any such duty or obligation to act on the part of the Administrative Agent.

152

SECTION 12.07 Authorization of Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent Under the Collateral Documents.

Subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreements, the Administrative Agent is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of the Lenders distributed under the Collateral Documents, and to make further distributions of such funds to the Lenders according to the provisions of this Agreement.

SECTION 12.08 Purchaser Protected.

In no event shall any purchaser in good faith of any property purported to be released hereunder be bound to ascertain the authority of the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent to execute the release or to inquire as to the satisfaction of any conditions required by the provisions hereof for the exercise of such authority or to see to the application of any consideration given by such purchaser or other transferee; nor shall any purchaser or other transferee of any property or rights permitted by this Article XII to be sold be under any obligation to ascertain or inquire into the authority of the Borrower or the applicable Guarantor to make any such sale or other transfer.

SECTION 12.09 Powers Exercisable by Receiver or Administrative Agent.

In case the Collateral shall be in the possession of a receiver or trustee, lawfully appointed, the powers conferred in this Article XII upon the Borrower or a Guarantor with respect to the release, sale or other disposition of such property may be exercised by such receiver or trustee, and an instrument signed by such receiver or trustee shall be deemed the equivalent of any similar instrument of the Borrower or a Guarantor or of any officer or officers thereof required by the provisions of this Article XII; and if the Administrative Agent shall be in the possession of the Collateral under any provision of this Agreement, then such powers may be exercised by the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 12.10 Release Upon Termination of the Borrower’s Obligations.

In the event that the Borrower delivers to the Administrative Agent, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to it, an certificate of a Responsible Officer certifying that (i) payment in full of the principal of, together with accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the Term Loans and all other Obligations under this Agreement and the Collateral Documents with respect thereto, that are due and payable at or prior to the time such principal, together with accrued and unpaid interest, are paid or (ii) the Borrower shall have exercised its satisfaction and discharge option, in compliance with the provisions of Article X hereof, in each case with respect to all of the Term Loans, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower and the Collateral Agent a notice stating that the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, disclaims and gives up any and all rights it has in or to the Collateral, and any rights it has under the Collateral Documents, and upon receipt by the Collateral Agent of such notice, the Collateral Agent shall be deemed not to hold a Lien in the Collateral on behalf of the Administrative Agent and shall do or cause to be done all acts reasonably necessary at the Borrower’s cost to release such Lien as soon as is reasonably practicable.

SECTION 12.11 Collateral Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders hereby designates and appoints the Collateral Agent as its agent under this Agreement, the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements and the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement, the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of this Agreement, the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Section 12.11 are solely for the benefit of the Notes Collateral Agent and none of the Administrative Agent, any of the Lenders, the Borrower nor any of the Guarantors shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions contained herein other than as

153

expressly provided in Section 12.03. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements, the Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities hereunder nor shall the Collateral Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Guarantor, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement, the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the Collateral Agent 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. Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall have and may use its sole discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any discretionary rights or taking or refraining from taking any actions which the Collateral Agent is expressly entitled to take or assert under this Agreement, the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements, including the exercise of remedies pursuant to Article VIII, and any action so taken or not taken shall be deemed consented to by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.

(b) None of the Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates shall (i) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or under or in connection with any Collateral Document or the Intercreditor Agreements or the transactions contemplated thereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any of the Administrative Agent or any Lender for any recital, statement, representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Borrower or any Guarantor, or any officer or Affiliate of any of the foregoing, contained in this or any Agreement, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement, the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements, or for any failure of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other party to this Agreement, the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. None of the Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates shall be under any obligation to the Administrative Agent or any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement, the Collateral Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements or to inspect the properties, books, or records of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any Guarantor’s Affiliates.

(c) The Collateral Agent 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 the Borrower, any Guarantor and their Affiliates as though it was not the Collateral Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, the Collateral Agent or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Borrower, any Guarantor or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Borrower, any such Guarantor or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders. Nothing herein shall impose or imply any obligation on the part of the Collateral Agent to advance funds.

(d) The Collateral Agent is authorized and directed to (i) enter into the Collateral Documents, (ii) enter into the Intercreditor Agreements, (iii) bind the Lenders on the terms as set forth in the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements and (iv) perform and observe its obligations under the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements.

(e) The Administrative Agent agrees that it shall not (and shall not be obliged to), and shall not instruct the Collateral Agent to, unless specifically requested to do so by the Required Lenders, take or cause to be taken any action to enforce its rights under this Agreement or against the Borrower or any Guarantor, including the commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings, to foreclose any Lien on, or otherwise enforce any security interest in, any of the Collateral.

154

If at any time or times the Administrative Agent shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, set-off or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations arising under, or relating to, this Agreement, except for any such proceeds or payments received by the Administrative Agent from the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) payments from the Collateral Agent in excess of the amount required to be paid to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article VIII, the Administrative Agent shall promptly turn the same over to the Collateral Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to the Collateral Agent.

(f) The Administrative Agent is each Lender’s agent for the purpose of perfecting the Lenders’ security interest in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code can be perfected only by possession. Should the Administrative Agent obtain possession of any such Collateral, upon request from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Collateral Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Collateral Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the Collateral Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Collateral Agent’s instructions.

(g) The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Borrower or any Guarantor or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Collateral Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, maintained or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to determine whether all or the Borrower or any Guarantor’s property constituting collateral intended to be subject to the Lien and security interest of the Collateral Documents has been properly and completely listed or delivered, as the case may be, or the genuineness, validity, marketability or sufficiency thereof or title thereto, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure, or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities, and powers granted or available to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement, any Collateral Document or the Intercreditor Agreements, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission, or event related thereto, the Collateral Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion given the Collateral Agent’s own interest in the Collateral and that the Collateral Agent shall have no other duty or liability whatsoever to the Administrative Agent or any Lender as to any of the foregoing.

(h) No provision of this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreements or any Collateral Document shall require the Collateral Agent (or the Administrative Agent) to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or thereunder or to take or omit to take any action hereunder or thereunder or take any action at the request or direction of Lenders (or the Administrative Agent in the case of the Collateral Agent) if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds is not assured to it.

(i) The Collateral Agent (i) shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it reasonably believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers, or for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved that the Collateral Agent was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts, (ii) shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Collateral Agent may agree in writing with the Borrower (and money held in trust by the Collateral Agent need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law), (iii) the Collateral Agent may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice or opinion of such counsel as to matters of law shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel. The grant of permissive rights or powers to the Collateral Agent shall not be construed to impose duties to act.

(j) Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Administrative Agent shall be liable for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control. Such acts shall include but not be limited to acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war, epidemics, governmental regulations superimposed after the fact, fire, communication line failures, computer viruses, power failures, earthquakes or other disasters. Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Administrative Agent shall be liable for any indirect, special or consequential damages (included but not limited to lost profits) whatsoever, even if it has been informed of the likelihood thereof and regardless of the form of action.

155

SECTION 12.12 Designations.

Except as provided in the next sentence, for purposes of the provisions hereof and the Intercreditor Agreements requiring the Borrower to designate Indebtedness for the purposes of the term “Additional Noteholder Lien Debt Facility” or any other such designations hereunder or under the Intercreditor Agreements, any such designation shall be sufficient if the relevant designation is set forth in writing, signed on behalf of the Borrower by a Responsible Officer and delivered to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the ABL Agent.

SECTION 12.13 Additional Collateral.

(a) (i) Subject to the limitations set forth or referenced in this Section 12.13, applicable law and any exceptions set forth in the Security Agreement, the Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor will cause the issued and outstanding Capital Stock (other than Excluded Capital Stock) of each Subsidiary directly owned by the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor to be subject at all times to a first priority (subject to the Intercreditor Agreements and to other Permitted Liens), perfected Lien in favor of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Collateral Documents.

(ii) Subject to the limitations set forth or referenced in this Section 12.13, applicable law and any exceptions set forth in the Security Agreement, the Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor will cause, except with respect to intercompany Indebtedness, all evidences of Indebtedness for borrowed money in a principal amount in excess of $2,500,000 (individually) that is owing to the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor to be evidenced by a duly executed promissory note and pledged and delivered to the Collateral Agent under the Security Agreement and accompanied by instruments of transfer with respect thereto endorsed in blank.

(iii) Each of the Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that all Indebtedness of Holdings, the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries that is owing to the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be evidenced by the Intercompany Note, which promissory note shall be required to be pledged and delivered to the Collateral Agent under the Security Agreement and accompanied by instruments of transfer with respect thereto endorsed in blank.

(b) In furtherance of Section 6.13, but subject to the limitations set forth or referenced in this Section 12.13, applicable law and any exceptions set forth in the Security Agreement, and without limiting the foregoing, the Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor will execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent such documents, agreements and instruments, and will take or cause to be taken such further actions (including the filing and recording of financing statements, fixture filings, mortgages, deeds of trust and other documents and such other actions or deliveries, as applicable (including the delivery of the Real Property Collateral Requirements), which may be required by law or which the Collateral Agent may, from time to time, reasonably request to carry out the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Collateral Documents and to ensure perfection and priority of the Liens created or intended to be created by the Collateral Documents, all at the expense of the Borrower and the Guarantors, provided, however, that neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be required to grant any security interest or take any action to perfect any security interest under the law of any jurisdiction outside the United States of America.

(c) Subject to the limitations set forth or referred to in this Section 12.13, applicable law and any exceptions set forth in the Security Agreement, if any material assets (including any real property or improvements thereto or any interest therein) are acquired by the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor after the Closing Date (other than assets constituting Collateral under the Security Agreement that become subject to the Lien in favor of the Collateral Agent upon acquisition thereof), the Borrower will, as soon as reasonably practicable, notify the Collateral Agent thereof, and, if requested by the Collateral Agent, the Borrower or such Subsidiary Guarantor will cause such assets to be subjected to a Lien securing the Obligations and will take such actions as shall be necessary or reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to grant and perfect such Liens, including actions described in paragraph (b) of this Section 12.13, all at the expense of the Borrower and the Guarantors.

Loan Parties, Agent, Lenders and the other parties named therein are parties to a certain Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of November 30, 2012 (as amended by the First Amendment to Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of March 22, 2013, the “Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which Lenders have agreed to make certain loans and other extensions of credit to Borrowers.

Borrowers have advised Agent and Lenders of the formation of a new, wholly-owned subsidiary of American Tire, ATD Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ATD Merger Sub”), and the proposed merger of ATD Merger Sub with and into Hercules Tire Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Hercules Holdings”), with Hercules Holdings as the surviving legal entity of such merger, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated on or about the date hereof among ATD Merger Sub, Hercules Holdings, and the equityholders of Hercules Holdings that are party thereto (the “Hercules Merger Agreement”), and after giving effect to such merger (the “Proposed Hercules Merger”), Hercules Holdings shall be immediately merged into American Tire, with The Hercules Tire & Rubber Company, a Connecticut corporation (“Hercules Tire”), as a wholly-owned subsidiary of American Tire.

In connection with the Proposed Hercules Merger, Borrowers desire for Hercules Tire and certain of its subsidiaries to be joined as Loan Parties to the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, with Hercules Tire to be joined as a U.S. Borrower, Hercules Asia Pacific, LLC, a Connecticut limited liability company (“Hercules Pacific”), to be joined as a U.S. Guarantor, and Hercules Tire Company of Canada Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of Canada (“Hercules Canada”) to be joined as a Canadian Borrower, and Borrowers have requested that Agent and the requisite Lenders consent to such Proposed Hercules Merger and acknowledge that such Proposed Hercules Merger will constitute a “Permitted Acquisition” under the Credit Agreement.

Further, in connection with the Proposed Hercules Merger, Borrowers have requested that the Credit Agreement be amended to provide for, among other things, (i) the increase by certain Revolving Lenders of their respective Revolving Commitments resulting in the maximum aggregate amount of all Canadian Revolving Commitments increasing to an aggregate principal amount of $125,000,000 (such

Revolving Lenders whose Revolving Commitments are increasing are collectively referred to here as “Increasing Revolving Lenders” and individually as an “Increasing Revolving Lender”), (ii) (A) the increase by certain U.S. Lenders of their existing Tranche B Commitments (or the provision by certain U.S. Lenders of new Tranche B Commitments) resulting in the maximum aggregate amount of all Tranche B Commitments increasing to an aggregate principal amount of up to $80,000,0000 (such Tranche B Lenders whose Tranche B Commitments are newly provided or increasing are collectively referred to here as “Increasing Tranche B Lenders” and individually as an “Increasing Tranche B Lender”), (B) the extension of the Tranche B Maturity Date to the date that is 36 months after the effective date hereof, and (C) the increase of the inventory advance rate under the Tranche B Borrowing Base from 7.5% to 10% of Net Orderly Liquidation Value (clauses (ii)(A) – (C) are collectively referred to herein as the “Tranche B Amendments”); and (iii) the addition of a new credit facility under the Credit Agreement pursuant to which certain Canadian Lenders agree to make available to Canadian Borrowers a first-in last-out “Tranche C” facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $15,000,0000 (such Canadian Lenders are collectively referred to here as “Tranche C Lenders” and individually as a “Tranche C Lender”); and to make certain other changes to the Credit Agreement, in each case as set forth in the modified version of the Credit Agreement attached as Annex 1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference (the “Modified Credit Agreement”).

At the request of Borrowers, the Increasing Revolving Lenders, the Increasing Tranche B Lenders, and the Tranche C Lenders have agreed to confirm to Borrowers their Commitments to provide the loans described above (collectively, the “Modified Commitments”) in the amounts set forth in Annex 2 hereto (the “Revised Commitment Schedule”), subject to the conditions set forth herein, and with the consent of requisite Lenders, to amend the Credit Agreement as set forth in the Modified Credit Agreement attached hereto as Annex 1, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

- 73 -

expenses as described in Section 9.03) and other sums payable by the Borrowers within such Borrower Group under the Loan Documents (each such Loan made to the U.S. Borrowers, a “U.S. Protective Advance”; each such Loan made to a Canadian Borrower, a “Canadian Protective Advance”; and U.S. Protective Advances and Canadian Protective Advances, “Protective Advances” and each a “Protective Advance”). Any U.S. Protective Advance may be made in a principal amount that would cause the aggregate U.S. Revolving Exposure to exceed the U.S. Borrowing Base; provided that no U.S. Protective Advance may be made to the extent that, after giving effect to such U.S. Protective Advance (together with the outstanding principal amount of all other U.S. Protective Advances), the aggregate principal amount of U.S. Protective Advances outstanding hereunder would exceed, as determined on the date of such proposed U.S. Protective Advance, and is not known by the Agent to exceed, together with U.S. Overadvances described in Section 2.04(c), 10% of the U.S. Revolving Commitments at such time, or to exist for more than thirty (30) consecutive Business Days or more than forty-five (45) Business Days in any twelve month period, and provided further that, the aggregate amount of outstanding U.S. Protective Advances plus any U.S. Overadvances described in Section 2.04(c) plus the aggregate of all other U.S. Revolving Exposure shall not exceed the aggregate total U.S. Revolving Commitments. Any Canadian Protective Advance may be made in a principal amount that would cause the aggregate Canadian Revolving Exposure to exceed the Canadian Borrowing Base; provided that no Canadian Protective Advance may be made to the extent that, after giving effect to such Canadian Protective Advance (together with the outstanding principal amount of all other Canadian Protective Advances), the aggregate Dollar Equivalent Amount of principal amount of Canadian Protective Advances outstanding hereunder would exceed, as determined on the date of such proposed Canadian Protective Advance, and is not known by the Agent to exceed, together with Canadian Overadvances described in Section 2.04(c), 10% of the Canadian Revolving Commitments at such time, or to exist for more than thirty (30) consecutive Business Days or more than forty-five (45) Business Days in any twelve month period, and provided further that, the aggregate Dollar Equivalent Amount of outstanding Canadian Protective Advances plus Dollar Equivalent Amount of any Canadian Overadvances described in Section 2.04(c) plus the aggregate Dollar Equivalent Amount of all other Canadian Revolving Exposure shall not exceed the aggregate total Canadian Commitments. Protective Advances may be made even if the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have not been satisfied or waived. The Agent agrees to use reasonable efforts to deliver prompt notice to the Applicable Lenders with respect to a Borrower Group of any Protective Advance or Overadvance made by it to a Borrower within such Borrower Group. The U.S. Protective Advances shall be secured by the Agent’s Liens on the U.S. Collateral securing payment of the U.S. Obligations and shall constitute ABR Loans and U.S. Obligations hereunder. The Canadian Protective Advances shall be made by the Agent through its Canada branch and shall be secured by the Agent’s Liens on the Collateral securing payment of the Canadian Obligations and shall constitute Canadian Prime Rate Loans, if funded in Canadian Dollars, or Canadian Base Rate Loans, if funded in Dollars, and Canadian Obligations hereunder. The Agent’s authorization to make Protective Advances may be revoked at any time by the Required Lenders. Any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon the Agent’s receipt thereof. The making of a Protective Advance on any one occasion shall not obligate any Agent to make any Protective Advance on any other occasion. At any time that the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have been satisfied or waived, the Agent may request the Applicable Lenders with respect to a Borrower Group to make a Tranche A Revolving Loan to repay a Protective Advance made by the Agent to a Borrower within such Borrower Group. At any other time, the Agent may require the Applicable Lenders with respect to such Borrower Group to fund their risk participations described in Section 2.04(b).

(b) Upon the making of a Protective Advance by the Agent (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default) to a Borrower within such Borrower Group, each Applicable Lender with respect to such Borrower Group shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, unconditionally and irrevocably to have purchased from the Agent without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Protective Advance in proportion to its Applicable

- 74 -

Percentage. From and after the date, if any, on which any Applicable Lender with respect to a Borrower Group is required to fund its participation in any Protective Advance to a Borrower within such Borrower Group purchased hereunder, the Agent shall promptly distribute to such Applicable Lender, such Applicable Lender’s Applicable Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by the Agent in respect of such Protective Advance.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Section 2.04 or this Agreement or the other Loan Documents and whether or not a Default or Event of Default exists at the time, the Agent may require all Applicable Lenders with respect to a Borrower Group to honor requests or deemed requests by the Borrowers within such Borrower Group for Revolving Loans at a time that an Overadvance Condition with respect to such Borrower Group exists or which would result in an Overadvance Condition with respect to such Borrower Group and (i) each U.S. Revolving Lender shall be obligated to continue to make its Applicable Percentage of any such U.S. Overadvance Loan up to a maximum amount outstanding equal to its U.S. Revolving Commitment, so long as such U.S. Overadvance is not known by the Agent to exceed, together with U.S. Protective Advances described in Section 2.04(a), 10% of the U.S. Revolving Commitments at such time or to exist for more than thirty (30) consecutive Business Days or more than forty-five (45) Business Days in any twelve month period and (ii) each Canadian Revolving Lender shall be obligated to continue to make its Applicable Percentage of any such Canadian Overadvance Loan up to a maximum amount outstanding equal to its Canadian Revolving Commitment so long as such Canadian Overadvance is not known by the Agent to exceed, together with Canadian Protective Advances described in Section 2.04(a), 10% of the Canadian Revolving Commitments at such time or to exist for more than thirty (30) consecutive Business Days or more than forty-five (45) Business Days in any twelve month period.

Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrowers within each Borrower Group may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans. To request a Swingline Loan for a Borrower within a Borrower Group, the Borrower Agent shall notify the Agent of such request by telephone (confirmed by a Swingline Borrowing Request), not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, or, with respect to Canadian Swingline Loans, 1:00 p.m., Toronto, Ontario time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan to such Borrower.

(b) To facilitate administration of the Revolving Loans, the Tranche A Revolving Lenders and the Agent agree (which agreement is solely among them, and not for the benefit of or enforceable by any Borrower) that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, settlement among them as to the Revolving Loans and the Swingline Loans and the Protective Advances shall take place on a periodic basis in accordance with this clause (b). The Agent shall request settlement (a “Settlement”) with the Applicable Lenders on at least a weekly basis, or on a more frequent basis if so determined by the Agent, (A) on behalf of the Applicable Swingline Lender, with respect to each outstanding Swingline Loan to a Borrower within the applicable Borrower Group and (B) with respect to collections received from such Borrower Group, in each case, by notifying the Applicable Lenders of such requested Settlement by telecopy, telephone, or other similar form of transmission, of such requested Settlement, no later than 2:30 p.m. New York City time, or with respect to Canadian Revolving Lenders, 2:30 p.m. Toronto, Ontario time, on the date of such requested Settlement (the “Settlement Date”). Each Applicable Lender (other than the Applicable Swingline Lender, in the case of Swingline Loans to the Borrowers within a Borrower Group) shall make the amount of such Applicable Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the outstanding principal amount of the Swingline Loans to such Borrowers within such Borrower Group with respect to which Settlement is requested available to the Agent, to such account of the Agent as the Agent may designate, not later than 3:30 p.m., New York City time, or with respect to Canadian Revolving Lenders and Tranche C Lenders, 3:30 p.m. Toronto, Ontario time, on the Settlement Date applicable thereto, which may occur before or after the occurrence or during the continuation of a Default or an Event of Default and whether or not the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article IV have then been satisfied without regard to the any minimum amount specified therein. Such amounts made available to the Agent shall be applied against the amounts of the applicable Swingline Loan and, together with the portion of such Swingline Loan representing the Applicable Swingline Lender’s pro rata share thereof, shall constitute Revolving Loans of the Applicable Lenders. If any such amount is not made available to the Agent by any Applicable Lender on the Settlement Date applicable thereto, the Agent shall, on behalf of the Applicable Swingline Lender with respect to each outstanding Swingline Loan to a Borrower within the applicable Borrower Group, be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Applicable Lender together with interest thereon at, with respect to U.S. Swingline Loans, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, and with respect to Canadian Swingline Loans, the Canadian Overnight Rate, in each case, for the first three days from and after the Settlement Date and thereafter at the interest rate then applicable to Floating Rate Loans to such Borrower Group in the applicable currency in which such Swingline Loan is denominated. Between Settlement Dates the Agent may pay over to the Applicable Swingline Lender any payments received by the Agent, which in accordance with the terms of this Agreement would be applied to the reduction of the Revolving Loans of the Borrowers within the Borrower Group for which such Applicable Swingline Lender is the Applicable Swingline Lender, for application to the Applicable Swingline Lender’s Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans to such Borrower Group. If, as of any Settlement Date, collections received since the then immediately preceding Settlement Date have been applied to the Applicable Swingline Lender’s Revolving Loans to such Borrower Group, the Applicable Swingline Lender shall pay to the Agent for the accounts of the Applicable Lenders, to be applied to the outstanding Revolving Loans of such Applicable Lenders to such Borrower Group, an amount such that each Applicable Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have, as of such Settlement Date, its Applicable Percentage of the Revolving Loans to such Borrower Group. During the period between Settlement Dates, the Applicable Swingline Lender with respect to Swingline Loans to the Borrowers within such Borrower Group, the Agent with respect to Protective Advances to such Borrower Group and each Applicable Lender with respect to its Revolving Loans to such Borrower Group shall be entitled to interest thereon at the applicable rate or rates payable under this Agreement.

- 76 -

(c) In addition, the Applicable Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Agent not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, or, with respect to Canadian Swingline Loans, 1:00 p.m., Toronto, Ontario time, on any Business Day require the Applicable Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding that were made to the Borrowers within the Borrower Group with respect to which such Applicable Lenders issued Commitments. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans to such Borrower Group in which the Applicable Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Agent will give notice thereof to each Applicable Lender, specifying in such notice such Applicable Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans to such Borrower Group. Each Applicable Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Agent, for the account of the Applicable Swingline Lender, such Applicable Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans to such Borrower Group. Each Applicable Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans made to the Borrowers within the Borrower Group with respect to which such Applicable Lender has issued a Commitment 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 Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Applicable Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Applicable Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Applicable Lenders), and the Agent shall promptly pay to the Applicable Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Applicable Lenders. The Agent shall notify the Borrower Agent of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph. Any amounts received by the Applicable Swingline Lender from the Borrowers with the applicable Borrower Group (or other party on behalf of any such Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Applicable 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 Applicable Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Applicable Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Applicable Swingline Lender or the Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to any Borrower with such Borrower Group for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan made to a Borrower within a Borrower Group pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrowers within such Borrower Group of any default in the payment thereof.

SECTION 2.06 Letters of Credit. (a) General. On and after the Effective Date, each Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a U.S. Letter of Credit issued hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and for purposes hereof will be deemed to have been issued on the Effective Date. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (i) each Applicable Issuing Bank with respect to a Borrower Group agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Applicable Lenders to such Borrower Group set forth in this Section 2.06, (A) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date to but not including the 5th Business Day, prior to the Maturity Date, upon the request of the Borrower Agent, to issue Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars only (or, in the case of Letters of Credit issued under the Canadian Commitments, Dollars or Canadian Dollars, as requested by a Canadian Borrower) and issued on sight basis only for the account of one or more of the Borrowers of such Borrower Group (or any other Subsidiary of the Company so long as the Company is a joint and several co-applicant, and references to the Company or a “Borrower” in this Section 2.06 shall be deemed to include reference to such Subsidiary) and to amend or renew Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with Section 2.06(b), and (B) to honor drafts under the Letters of Credit, and (ii) the Applicable Lenders severally agree to participate in the Letters of Credit issued pursuant to Section 2.06(d) for the account of the Borrowers within such

Borrower Group (including, with respect to U.S. Revolving Lenders, those Letters of Credit with respect to which the Company is the co-applicant with a Subsidiary of the Company). Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers’ ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrowers may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.

(b) Notice of 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 Borrower Agent shall hand deliver or facsimile (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Applicable Issuing Bank) to the Applicable Issuing Bank and the Agent, at least two (2) Business Days, in advance of the requested date of issuance (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank), a request to issue in the form of Exhibit E attached hereto (each a “Letter of Credit Request”). To request an amendment, extension or renewal of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower Agent shall submit such a request on its letterhead, addressed to the Applicable Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Agent) at least two (2) Business Days, in advance of the requested date of amendment, extension or renewal, identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the proposed date (which shall be a Business Day) and other details of the amendment, extension or renewal. Requests for issuance, amendment, renewal or extension must be accompanied by such other information as shall be necessary to issue, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the Applicable Issuing Bank, the Borrower Agent also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. 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 Borrower Agent to, or entered into by the Borrower Agent or any Borrower within a Borrower Group with, the Applicable Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit issued for the account of a Borrower within such Borrower Group, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended if (and on issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the U.S. Exposure shall not exceed $50,000,000, (ii) the Dollar Equivalent Amount of Canadian LC Exposure shall not exceed $10,000,000, (iii) the total U.S. Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the lesser of the total U.S. Revolving Commitments and the U.S. Borrowing Base, and (iv) the total Canadian Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the lesser of the total Canadian Revolving Commitments and the Canadian Borrowing Base.

Upon receipt of such Letter of Credit or amendment, the Agent shall notify the Applicable Lenders, in writing, of such Letter of Credit or amendment, and if so requested by an Applicable Lender the Agent will provide such Applicable Lender with a copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment. With respect to commercial Letters of Credit, each Applicable Issuing Bank shall, on the first Business Day of each week, submit to the Agent, by facsimile, a report detailing the daily aggregate total of commercial Letters of Credit issued by such Applicable Issuing Bank for the previous calendar week.

Each standby Letter of Credit shall expire not later than the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (ii) the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date; provided that any standby Letter of Credit may provide for the automatic extension thereof for any number of additional periods each of up to one year in duration (none of which, in any event, shall extend beyond the date referred to in clause (ii) of this paragraph (c)). Each commercial Letter of Credit shall expire on the earlier of (i) 180 days after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (ii) the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the Maturity Date.

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) for the account of a Borrower within a Borrower Group and without any further action on the part of the Applicable Issuing Bank or the Applicable Lenders, the Applicable Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Applicable Lender, and each Applicable Lender hereby acquires from such Applicable Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Applicable Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Applicable Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Agent, for the account of the Applicable Issuing Bank, such Applicable Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Applicable Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrowers within the applicable Borrower Group on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.06, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to any Borrower within such Borrower Group for any reason. Each Applicable Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit issued for the account of a Borrower within a Borrower Group 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 Commitments to such Borrower Group, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e) Reimbursement. If the Applicable Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit issued for the account of a Borrower within a Borrower Group (including, with respect to U.S. Borrowers, those Letters of Credit with respect to which the Company is the co-applicant with a Subsidiary of the Company), the Borrowers within such Borrower Group shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, or with respect to Canadian LC Disbursements, 12:00 noon Toronto, Ontario time, on the Business Day immediately following the date the Borrower Agent receives notice of such LC Disbursement under paragraph (g) of this Section 2.06; provided that the Borrower Agent may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 or 2.05 that such payment (i) owing by the U.S. Borrowers be financed with an ABR Loan or U.S. Swingline Loan or (ii) owing by a Canadian Borrower be financed with a Canadian Base Rate Loan or Canadian Swingline Loan (if the Letter of Credit drawn upon was denominated in Dollars) or Canadian Prime Rate Loan or Canadian Swingline Loan (if the Letter of Credit drawn upon was denominated in Canadian Dollars), in each case, in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the obligation of the Borrowers within the applicable Borrower Group to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Floating Rate Loan or Swingline Loan. If the Borrowers within a Borrower Group fail to make such payment when due, the Agent shall notify each Applicable Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrowers within such Borrower Group in respect thereof and such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Applicable Lender shall pay to the Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrowers within the applicable Borrower Group, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Revolving Loans made by such Applicable Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Applicable Lenders), and the Agent shall promptly pay to the Applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Applicable Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Agent of any payment from the Borrowers within a Borrower Group pursuant to this paragraph, the Agent shall distribute such payment to the Applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Applicable Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Applicable Issuing Bank, then to such Applicable Lenders and such Applicable Issuing Bank as their interests may appear.

- 79 -

(f) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrowers within each Borrower Group to reimburse LC Disbursements with respect to Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrower Group (including, with respect to U.S. Borrowers, those Letters of Credit with respect to which the Company is the co-applicant with a Subsidiary of the Company) as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.06 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 Applicable Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, any Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Agent, the Applicable Lenders nor any Applicable Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, 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 such Applicable Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse such Applicable Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrowers within a Borrower Group to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by each Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by any Borrower within such Borrower Group that are caused by such Applicable 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 or willful misconduct on the part of the Applicable Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Applicable 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 Applicable 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.

(g) Disbursement Procedures. The Applicable Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit issued by such Applicable Issuing Base. Such Applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Agent and the Borrower Agent by telephone (confirmed by facsimile) of such demand for payment and whether such Applicable Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrowers within the applicable Borrower Group of their obligation to reimburse such Applicable Issuing Bank and the Applicable Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h) Interim Interest. If an Applicable Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of any Letter of Credit issued for the account of a Borrower within a Borrower Group (including, with respect to U.S. Borrowers, those Letters of Credit with respect to which the Company is the co-applicant with a Subsidiary of the Company), then, unless the Borrowers within such Borrower Group shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrowers within such Borrower Group reimburse such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Loans that are Revolving Loans (in the case

- 80 -

of any such Letter of Credit issued for the account of a U.S. Borrower), Canadian Base Rate Loans that are Revolving Loans (in the case of any such Letter of Credit denominated in Dollars that is issued for the account of a Canadian Borrower) or Canadian Prime Rate Loans that are Revolving Loans (in the case of any such Letter of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars that issued for the account of a Canadian Borrower); provided that, if the Borrowers within a Borrower Group fail to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.13(hi) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Applicable Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse such Applicable Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Applicable Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i) Replacement of an Issuing Bank. An Issuing Bank may be replaced at the written request of the Borrower Agent and without the consent of the Agent at any time by written agreement among the Borrower Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank, and acknowledged by the Agent. The Agent shall notify the Applicable Lenders of any such replacement of an Applicable Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrowers within the applicable Borrower Group shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced 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 to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the 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 replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(j) Cash Collateralization. If (A) any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, (B) an Overadvance Condition shall at any time exist, (C) the Maturity Date shall occur or (D) if and to the extent required in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.28, on the Business Day that the Borrower Agent receives notice from the Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, the Applicable Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, upon such demand, the Borrowers within each Borrower Group (or in the case of clause (B), the Borrowers within the Borrower Group with respect to which an Overadvance Condition exists) shall deposit, in an account with the Agent, in the name of the Agent and for the benefit of the Applicable Lenders (a “LC Collateral Account” and the LC Collateral Account funded by the U.S. Borrowers, the “U.S. LC Collateral Account” and the LC Collateral Account funded by a Canadian Borrower , the “Canadian LC Collateral Account”), an amount in cash equal to 103% of the LC Exposure of such Borrower Group as of such date; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to any Borrower described in clause (g) or (h) of Article VII. Such deposit made by U.S. Borrowers shall be held by the Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Obligations in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph (j). Such deposit made by a Canadian Borrower shall be held by the Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Canadian Obligations in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph (j). The Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account and each Borrower within a Borrower Group hereby grants the Agent a security interest in the LC Collateral Account funded by such Borrower Group. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Agent and at the risk and expense of the Borrowers within the applicable Borrower Group that funded such LC Collateral Account, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall

- 81 -

accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Agent to reimburse the Applicable Issuing Bank for LC 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 Borrowers within the applicable Borrower Group for the LC Exposure to such Borrower Group at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Applicable Lenders with LC Exposure to such Borrower Group representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure to such Borrower Group), be applied to satisfy other Obligations (or, in the case of the Canadian LC Collateral Account, the Canadian Obligations). If the Borrowers within a Borrower Group are required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (together with all interest and other earnings with respect thereto, to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned promptly to the Borrowers within such Borrower Group but in no event later than three (3) Business Days after such Event of Default has been cured or waived. If Borrowers within a Borrower Group fail to provide any cash collateral as required by this Section 2.06(j), the Applicable Lenders may (and, upon direction of the Agent, shall) advance, as Revolving Loans, the amount of the cash collateral required (whether or not the Commitments have terminated, a Protective Advance or Overadvance exists or the conditions in Article IV are satisfied).

SECTION 2.07 Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 1:00 p.m., New York City time, or with respect to Canadian Revolving Loans and Tranche C Loans, 1:00 p.m., Toronto, Ontario time, to the account of the Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage; provided that, Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.05. The Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrowers within the applicable Borrower Group by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to the Applicable Funding Account or as otherwise directed by the Borrower Agent; provided that Floating Rate Loans made to finance the reimbursement of (i) an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e) shall be remitted by the Agent to the Applicable Issuing Bank and (ii) a Protective Advance shall be retained by the Agent to be applied as contemplated by Section 2.04 (and the Agent shall, upon the request of the Borrower Agent, deliver to the Borrower Agent a reasonably detailed accounting of such application).

(b) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from an Applicable Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing by a Borrower within a Borrower Group that such Revolving Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers within such Borrower Group a corresponding amount. In such event, if an Applicable Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Agent, then the Applicable Lender and the Borrowers within the applicable Borrower Group severally agree to pay to the Agent forthwith on demand (without duplication) such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers within such Borrower Group to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of, with respect to a U.S. Revolving Loan or Tranche B Loan, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, or, with respect to a Canadian Revolving Loan or Tranche C Loan, the Canadian Overnight Rate, and, in each case, a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrowers within a Borrower Group, the interest rate applicable to Floating Rate Loans to such Borrowers in the applicable currency. If such Lender pays such amount to the Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which the Agent or any Borrower within a Borrower Group or any Loan Party may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

- 82 -

(a) If any Change in Law shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Applicable Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBOR Rate) or Applicable Issuing Bank; or impose on any Applicable Lender or Applicable Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Interest Period Loans made by such Applicable Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Applicable Lender of making or maintaining any Interest Period Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Applicable Lender or Applicable Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Applicable Lender or Applicable Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then, following delivery of the certificate contemplated by paragraph (c) of this Section, the Borrowers within the applicable Borrower Group will pay to such Applicable Lender or Applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Applicable Lender or Applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered (except for any Taxes, which shall be dealt with exclusively pursuant to Section 2.17).

(b) If any Applicable Lender or Applicable Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Applicable Lender’s or Applicable Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Applicable Lender’s or Applicable Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Applicable Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Applicable Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Applicable Lender or such

- 91 -

Applicable Issuing Bank or such Applicable Lender’s or such Applicable Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law other than due to Taxes, which shall be dealt with exclusively pursuant to Section 2.17 (taking into consideration such Applicable Lender’s or such Applicable Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Applicable Lender’s or such Applicable Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time following delivery of the certificate contemplated by paragraph (c) of this Section the Borrowers within the applicable Borrower Group will pay to such Applicable Lender or such Applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Applicable Lender or such Applicable Issuing Bank or such Applicable Lender’s or such Applicable Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of an Applicable Lender or an Applicable Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Applicable Lender or Applicable Issuing Bank or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount or amounts was determined shall be delivered to the Borrower Agent and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers within the applicable Borrower Group shall pay such Applicable Lender or Applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Applicable Lender or Applicable Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Applicable Lender’s or Applicable Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers within the applicable Borrower Group shall not be required to compensate an Applicable Lender or an Applicable Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Applicable Lender or Applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, notifies the Borrower Agent of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Applicable Lender’s or Applicable Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 2.16 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Interest Period Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Interest Period Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Interest Period Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.09(d) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any Interest Period Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower Agent pursuant to Section 2.19 or 9.02(e), then, in any such event, the Borrowers within the affected Borrower Group shall compensate each Applicable Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of an Interest Period Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Applicable Lender shall be deemed to be the amount determined by such Applicable Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate or Canadian BA Rate, as applicable, that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Applicable Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Applicable Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Applicable Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section and the basis therefor and setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which

- 92 -

such amount or amounts was determined shall be delivered to the Borrower Agent and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers within the affected Borrower Group shall pay such Applicable Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.17 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if a Loan Party shall be required to deduct, withhold, or remit any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions or remittances applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Agent, Applicable Lender or any Applicable Issuing Bank (as applicable) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or remittances, been made, (ii) such Loan Party shall make such deductions and remittances, and (iii) such Loan Party shall timely pay and remit the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. If at any time a Loan Party is required by applicable law to make any deduction, remittance or withholding from any sum payable hereunder, such Loan Party shall promptly notify the Applicable Lender, Agent or Applicable Issuing Bank upon becoming aware of the same. In addition, each Applicable Lender, Agent or Applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly notify a Loan Party upon becoming aware of any circumstances as a result of which a Loan Party is or would be required to make any deduction, remittance, or withholding from any sum payable hereunder.

(b) In addition, the Loan Parties within each Borrower Group shall pay any Other Taxes with respect to the Loans and Commitments to the Borrowers within such Borrower Group and this Agreement as it relates to such Borrower Group to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Each Loan Party within a Borrower Group shall indemnify the Agent, each Applicable Lender and each Applicable Issuing Bank, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Agent, such Applicable Lender or such Applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of such Loan Party hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower Agent by an Applicable Lender or an Applicable Issuing Bank, or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of an Applicable Lender, or an Applicable Issuing Bank, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

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

(e) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which a Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower Agent (with a copy to the Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate

- 93 -

(including any documentation necessary to prevent withholding under Sections 1471 or 1472 of the Code). In particular, on or prior to the date which is ten (10) Business Days after the Effective Date, each Foreign Lender in respect of a U.S. Borrower shall deliver to the Borrower Agent (with a copy to the Agent) two duly signed, properly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-8BEN or any successor thereto (relating to such Foreign Lender and entitling it to an exemption from, or reduction of, United States withholding tax on payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by any Borrower or any other Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document), IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor thereto (relating to payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by any Borrower or any other Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document), IRS Form W-8IMY (and any applicable underlying IRS Forms) or such other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower Agent and the Agent that such Foreign Lender is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, United States withholding tax, including any exemption pursuant to Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, and in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming such an exemption under Section 881(c) of the Code, a certificate that establishes in writing to the Borrower Agent and the Agent that such Foreign Lender is not (i) a “bank” as defined in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (ii) a 10-percent shareholder within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or (iii) a controlled foreign corporation related to a Borrower with the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code. Thereafter and from time to time, each such Foreign Lender shall (A) promptly so long as it is eligible to do so submit to the Borrower Agent (with a copy to the Agent) such additional duly completed and signed copies of one or more of such forms or certificates (or such successor forms or certificates as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities) as may then be available under then current United States laws and regulations to avoid, or such evidence as is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower Agent and the Agent of any available exemption from, or reduction of, United States withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by any Borrower or other Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement, or any other Loan Document, in each case, (1) on or before the date that any such form, certificate or other evidence expires or becomes obsolete, (2) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form, certificate or evidence previously delivered by it to the Borrower Agent and (3) from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the Borrower Agent or the Agent, and (B) promptly notify the Borrower Agent and the Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction. For the avoidance of doubt, if, as a result of a Change in Law, a Foreign Lender is no longer legally able to provide documentation with respect to an exemption from or a reduction of withholding tax, such Foreign Lender will be treated as complying with this Section 2.17(e) and such inability will not affect the Foreign Lender’s rights under Section 2.17(a). If a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA, such Lender shall deliver to the Withholding Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Withholding 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 Withholding Agent as may be necessary for the Withholding Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA, applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable) or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this paragraph (e), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Effective Date.

(f) Each Lender, Agent or Issuing Bank that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, agrees to complete and deliver to the Borrower Agent a statement signed by an authorized signatory of the Lender to the effect that it is a United States person together with a duly completed and executed copy of IRS Form W-9 or successor form and any documentation necessary to prevent withholding under Sections 1471 or 1472 of the Code, to the extent applicable.

- 94 -

(g) If the Agent, a Lender, or an Issuing Bank determines, in good faith in its reasonable sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Loan Party or with respect to which such Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall pay over such refund to such Loan Party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent or such Lender (including any Taxes imposed with respect to such refund) as is determined by the Agent or such Lender in good faith in its sole discretion, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that such Loan Party, upon the request of the Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay as soon as reasonably practicable 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. This Section shall not be construed to require the Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to such Loan Party or any other Person.

(h) If the Borrower Agent determines in good faith that a reasonable basis exists for contesting any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes for which additional amounts have been paid under this Section 2.17, the Applicable Lender, Agent or Applicable Issuing Bank shall cooperate with the Borrower Agent in challenging such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, at the expense of the Borrowers within the applicable Borrower Group, if so requested by the Borrower Agent in writing.

SECTION 2.18 Payments Generally; Allocation of Proceeds; Sharing of Set-offs. (a) Unless otherwise specified, each Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, or with respect to Canadian LC Disbursements, 2:00 p.m., Toronto, Ontario time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the 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 to the applicable account designated to the Borrower Agent by the Agent, except payments to be made directly to the Applicable Issuing Bank or the Applicable Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, if any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. Any payment required to be made by the Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payment in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Agent to make such payment. At all times that the circumstances specified in Section 2.21(d) are in effect, solely for purposes of determining the amount of Revolving Loans available for borrowing purposes, checks and cash or other immediately available funds from collections of items of payment and proceeds of any Collateral shall be applied in whole or in part against the applicable Obligations, on the day of receipt, subject to actual collection.

(b) (i) Subject in all respects to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, all proceeds of U.S. Collateral received by the Agent after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing shall upon election by the Agent or at the direction of the Required Lenders be applied, first, to, ratably, pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements then due to the Agent or any U.S.

- 95 -

Issuing Bank from the U.S. Borrowers (other than in connection with Banking Services or Secured Swap Obligations), second, ratably, to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to the U.S. Revolving Lenders (other than in connection with Banking Services or Secured Swap Obligations), third, to pay interest due and payable in respect of any U.S. Revolving Loans from the U.S. Borrowers (including any U.S. Swingline Loans) and any U.S. Protective Advances, ratably, fourth, to pay the principal of the U.S. Protective Advances, fifth, to prepay principal on the U.S. Revolving Loans (other than the U.S. Protective Advances) and unreimbursed U.S. LC Disbursements, ratably, sixth, to pay an amount to the Agent equal to 103% of the U.S. LC Exposure on such date, to be held in the U.S. LC Collateral Account as cash collateral for such Obligations, seventh, ratably, to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to the Tranche B Lenders, eighth, to pay interest due and payable in respect of any Tranche B Loans from the U.S. Borrowers, ratably, ninth, to pay principal on the Tranche B Loans, ratably, tenth, to pay any amounts owing with respect to Banking Services and Secured Swap Obligations that are U.S. Obligations, ratably, eleventh, to the payment of any other U.S. Obligation due to the Agent or any U.S. Revolving Lender, twelfth, to the Canadian Obligations in the order provided in Section 2.18(b)(ii), thirteenth, as provided for under the Intercreditor Agreement and fourteenth, to the U.S. Borrowers or as the Borrower Agent shall direct.

(ii) All proceeds of Canadian Collateral received by the Agent after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing shall upon election by the Agent or at the direction of the Required Lenders be applied, first, to, ratably, pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements then due to the Agent or any Canadian Issuing Bank from the Canadian Loan Parties (other than in connection with Banking Services or Secured Swap Obligations), second, ratably, to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to the Canadian Revolving Lenders from the Canadian Loan Parties (other than in connection with Banking Services or Secured Swap Obligations), third, to pay interest due and payable in respect of any Canadian Revolving Loans (including any Canadian Swingline Loans) and any Canadian Protective Advances, ratably, fourth, to pay the principal of the Canadian Protective Advances, fifth, to prepay principal on the Canadian Revolving Loans (other than the Canadian Protective Advances) and unreimbursed Canadian LC Disbursements, ratably, sixth, to pay an amount to the Agent equal to 103% of the Canadian LC Exposure on such date, to be held in the Canadian LC Collateral Account as cash collateral for such Obligations, seventh, ratably, to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to the Tranche C Lenders, eighth, to pay interest due and payable in respect of any Tranche C Loans from the Canadian Borrowers, ratably, ninth, to pay principal on the Tranche C Loans, ratably, tenth, to pay any amounts owing with respect to Banking Services and Secured Swap Obligations that are Canadian Obligations, ratably, eightheleventh, to the payment of any other Canadian Obligation due to the Agent or any Canadian Revolving Lender or Tranche C Lender from any Canadian Loan Party, and ninthtwelfth, to the Canadian Borrowers or as the Borrower Agent shall direct.

(c) If any Applicable Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Loans or participations in LC Disbursements, Swingline Loans or Protective Advances with respect to the applicable Borrower Group resulting in such Applicable Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, Swingline Loans or Protective Advances owing by the Borrowers within such Borrower Group and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Applicable Lender to the Borrowers within such Borrower Group, then the Applicable Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, Swingline Loans and Protective Advances owing by the Borrowers within such Borrower Group that are held by the other Applicable Lenders at such time outstanding to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Applicable Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Revolving Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, Swingline Loans and Protective Advances owing by the Borrowers within such

- 96 -

Borrower Group; provided that (A) 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 (B) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by an Applicable Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Revolving Loans or participations in LC Disbursements, Swingline Loans or Protective Advances to any assignee or participant. Each Borrower within a Borrower Group consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Applicable Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Applicable Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(d) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower Agent prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Agent for the account of the Applicable Lenders or the Applicable Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrowers within the applicable Borrower Group will not make such payment, the Agent may assume that the Borrowers within such Borrower Group have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Applicable Lenders or the Applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers within such Borrower Group have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Applicable Lenders or the Applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, severally agrees to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Applicable Lender or Applicable 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, with respect to a U.S. Revolving Loan or a Tranche B Loan, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, or, with respect to a Canadian Revolving Loan or a Tranche C Loan, the Canadian Overnight Rate, and, in each case, a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(e) If any Applicable Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Sections 2.04(b), 2.05(b), 2.05(c), 2.06(d) or (e), 2.07(b), 2.18(c) or 9.03(c), 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 Applicable Lender to satisfy such Applicable Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

(f) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Agent may (but shall not be required to), in its discretion, retain any payments or other funds received by the Agent that are otherwise to be provided to an Applicable Defaulting Lender hereunder, and may apply such funds to such Applicable Defaulting Lender’s defaulted obligations or readvance such funds to the Borrowers within the applicable Borrower Group in connection with the funding of any Revolving Loan to such Borrowers or issuance of any Letters of Credit for the account of such Borrowers hereunder, including cash collateralization thereof, in accordance with this Agreement.

SECTION 2.19 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Applicable Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if any Borrower within a Borrower Group is required to pay any additional amount to any Applicable Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Applicable Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Applicable Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans to the Borrowers within such Borrower Group hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Applicable Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as applicable, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Applicable Lender to any material

- 97 -

unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Applicable Lender in any material respect. The Borrowers within the applicable Borrower Group hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Applicable Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If any Applicable Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if any Borrower within a Borrower Group is required to pay any additional amount to any Applicable Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Applicable Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or if any Applicable Lender is an Applicable Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower Agent may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Applicable Lender and the Agent, replace such Applicable Lender by requiring such Applicable Lender to assign and delegate (and such Applicable Lender shall be obligated to assign and delegate), without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if such Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower Agent shall have received the prior written consent of the Agent and each Applicable Issuing Bank, which consent in each case shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Applicable Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, Swingline Loans and Protective Advances owing by the Borrowers within such Borrower Group, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder with respect to such Borrower Group, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers within such Borrower Group (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. The Agent is irrevocably appointed as attorney-in-fact to execute any Assignment and Assumption(s) if the Applicable Defaulting Lender fails to execute the same. A Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower Agent to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Nothing in this Section 2.19 shall be deemed to prejudice any rights that any Borrower within a Borrower Group or any Applicable Issuing Bank may have against any Applicable Lender that is an Applicable Defaulting Lender.

SECTION 2.20 Illegality. If any Applicable Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted after the Effective Date that it is unlawful, for such Applicable Lender or its applicable lending office to make or maintain any Interest Period Loans, then, on notice thereof by such Applicable Lender to the Borrower Agent through the Agent, any obligations of such Applicable Lender to make or continue Interest Period Loans or to convert Floating Rate Loans to Interest Period Loans shall be suspended until such Applicable Lender notifies the Agent and the Borrower Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower Agent shall upon demand from such Applicable Lender (with a copy to the Agent), either convert all Interest Period Loans of such Lender to Floating Rate Loans in the same currency, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Applicable Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Interest Period Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Applicable Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers within the applicable Borrower Group shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. Each Applicable Lender agrees to designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the determination of such Applicable Lender, otherwise be disadvantageous to it.

- 98 -

SECTION 2.21 Cash Receipts. (a) Each U.S. Loan Party has entered into, and each Canadian Loan Party shall, within ninety (90) days after the Effective Date (or such later date approved by the Agent in its reasonable discretion), enter into, a control agreement (each, a “Blocked Account Agreement”), in form reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, with the Agent and any bank with which such Loan Party maintains a DDA (other than an Excluded Account) (collectively, the “Blocked Accounts”). Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that each Blocked Account shall operate solely as a collections account and that such Loan Party shall maintain a separate disbursement account for the disbursement of monies to third parties in the ordinary course of their business and other similar disbursement activities, including the presentment of checks and any ACH transfers.

(b) Each U.S. Loan Party agrees that it will cause all proceeds of the ABL First Lien Collateral (other than the Uncontrolled Cash) and for any Canadian Loan Parties, the equivalent portion of the Canadian Collateral to “ABL First Lien Collateral” (other than Uncontrolled Cash) to be deposited into a Blocked Account, which deposits may be made through a remote scanning process for purposes of depositing payment items into the Blocked Accounts from time to time. Each Loan Party agrees that it will promptly cause all such payment items to be scanned and deposited into Blocked Accounts and will provide copies at the Agent’s reasonable written request of any and all agreements entered into by a Loan Party with any third party that provides the scanning equipment or the services to reconcile the invoices with any scanned payment items.

(c) Each Blocked Account Agreement shall require, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or other Liquidity Event (and delivery of notice thereof from the Agent to the Borrower Agent and the other parties to such instrument or agreement) the ACH or wire transfer no less frequently than once per Business Day (unless the Termination Date shall have occurred), of all available cash balances and cash receipts, including the then contents or then entire ledger balance of each Blocked Account (net of such minimum balance, not to exceed the Dollar Equivalent Amount of $250,000 as may be required to be maintained in the subject Blocked Account by the bank at which such Blocked Account is maintained and other than any Uncontrolled Cash), to an account maintained for each Borrower Group by the Agent at BANA (each a “BANA Account”) or such other account as directed by the Agent. Subject to the terms of the applicable Security Agreement, all amounts received in a BANA Account or such other account shall be applied (and allocated) by the Agent in accordance with Section 2.10(b); provided that if the circumstances described in Section 2.18(b) are applicable, all such amounts shall be applied in accordance with such Section 2.18(b).

(d) If, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or other Liquidity Event, any cash or cash equivalents owned by any Loan Party (other than (i) an amount not to exceed $10,000,000 in the aggregate that is on deposit in segregated DDAs which the Borrower Agent designates in writing to the Agent as being the “uncontrolled cash account” (the “Designated Disbursement Account”), which funds shall not be funded from, or when withdrawn from the Designated Disbursement Account, shall not be replenished by, funds constituting proceeds of the ABL First Lien Collateral or, for any Canadian Loan Parties, the equivalent portion of the Canadian Collateral to “ABL First Lien Collateral” so long as such Event of Default or other Liquidity Event continues, (ii) de minimus cash or cash equivalents from time to time inadvertently misapplied by any Loan Party and (iii) payroll, trust and tax withholding accounts (other than Excluded Accounts) funded in the ordinary course of business and required by applicable law) are deposited to any account, or held or invested in any manner, otherwise than in a Blocked Account subject to a Blocked Account Agreement, the Agent shall be entitled to require the applicable Loan Party within a Borrower Group to close such account and have all funds therein transferred to a Blocked Account of such Borrower Group, and to cause all future deposits to be made to a Blocked Account of such Borrower Group.

(e) The Loan Parties may close DDAs or Blocked Accounts and/or open new DDAs or Blocked Accounts, subject to the contemporaneous execution and delivery to the Agent of a Blocked Account Agreement consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.21 and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

- 99 -

(f) Subject to clause (h) below, the BANA Account for each Borrower Group shall at all times be under the sole dominion and control of the Agent. Each Loan Party within a Borrower Group hereby acknowledges and agrees that, except to the extent otherwise provided in the Security Agreement, (i) such Loan Party has no right of withdrawal from the BANA Account for such Borrower Group, (ii) the funds on deposit in such BANA Account shall at all times continue to be collateral security for all of the applicable Obligations, and (iii) the funds on deposit in such BANA Account shall be applied as provided in this Agreement and, with respect to the U.S. Collateral, the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.21, any Loan Party within a Borrower Group receives or otherwise has dominion and control of any proceeds or collections required to be transferred to the BANA Account for such Borrower Group pursuant to Section 2.21(c), such proceeds and collections shall be held in trust by such Loan Party for the Agent, shall not be commingled with any of such Loan Party’s other funds or deposited in any account of such Loan Party and shall promptly be deposited into such BANA Account or dealt with in such other fashion as such Loan Party may be instructed by the Agent.

(g) So long as (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (ii) no other Liquidity Event as to which the Agent has notified the Borrower Agent has occurred and is continuing, the Loan Parties within each Borrower Group may direct, and shall have sole control over, the manner of disposition of funds in the Blocked Accounts of such Borrower Group.

(h) Any amounts held or received in a BANA Account for any Borrower Group (including all interest and other earnings with respect thereto, if any) at any time (x) after the Termination Date or (y) all Events of Default and other Liquidity Events have been cured shall (subject in the case of clause (x), to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement with respect to the U.S. Collateral) be remitted to the operating account of a Borrower within such Borrower Group as specified by the Borrower Agent.

SECTION 2.22 Reserves; Change in Reserves; Decisions by Agent. (a) The Agent may at any time and from time to time in the exercise of its Permitted Discretion establish and increase or decrease Reserves; provided that, as a condition to the establishment of any new category of Reserves, or any increase in Reserves resulting from a change in the manner of determination thereof, any Required Reserve Notice shall have been given to the Borrower Agent. The amount of any Reserve established by the Agent shall have a reasonable relationship to the event, condition or other matter that is the basis for the Reserve. Upon delivery of such notice, the Agent shall be available to discuss the proposed Reserve or increase, and the Borrowers may take such action as may be required so that the event, condition or matter that is the basis for such Reserve or increase no longer exists, in a manner and to the extent reasonably satisfactory to the Agent in the exercise of its Permitted Discretion. In no event shall such notice and opportunity limit the right of the Agent to establish or change such Reserve, unless the Agent shall have determined in its Permitted Discretion that the event, condition or other matter that is the basis for such new Reserve or such change no longer exists or has otherwise been adequately addressed by the Borrowers. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) Reserves shall not duplicate eligibility criteria contained in the definition of “Eligible Receivable”, “Eligible Tire Inventory” or “Eligible Non-Tire Inventory” and vice versa, or reserves or criteria deducted in computing the cost or market value or Value of any Eligible Receivable, any Eligible Tire Inventory or any Eligible Non-Tire Inventory or the Net Orderly Liquidation Value of any Eligible Tire Inventory or any Eligible Non-Tire Inventory and vice versa, and (ii) Reserves deducted in computing the Canadian Borrowing Base shall not be duplicative of Reserves deducted in computing the U.S. Borrowing Base and vice versa.

- 100 -

SECTION 2.23 Revolving Commitment Increases. (a) So long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, or would result therefrom, the Borrower Agent shall have the right at any time, and from time to time, to request one or more increases in the amount of the total Tranche A Revolving Commitments in an aggregate amount not to exceed $200,000,000 (up to $50,000,000 of which may be allocated to Canadian Revolving Commitment Increases) or, if less, the amount by which $1,150,000,000 exceeds the total Tranche A Revolving Commitments then in effect (such amount, the “Aggregate Incremental Capacity”). Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the amount of total Tranche A Revolving Commitments and, without duplication, Loans outstanding hereunder at any time, including the aggregate amount of Revolving Commitment Increases, shall not exceed $1,150,000,000 at any time, (ii) the aggregate amount of U.S. Revolving Commitments and, without duplication, U.S. Revolving Loans outstanding hereunder at any time, including the aggregate amount of U.S. Revolving Commitment Increases, shall not exceed $1,050,000,000 at any time, (iii) the aggregate amount of Canadian Commitments and, without duplication, the Dollar Equivalent Amount of Canadian Revolving Loans outstanding hereunder at any time, including the aggregate amount of Canadian Revolving Commitment Increases, shall not exceed $150,000,000 at any time, and (iv) any Commitment Increases provided for under this Section 2.23 shall not apply to, nor result in an increase of, the Tranche B Commitments or the Tranche C Commitments.

(b) Revolving Commitment Increases. (i) The Agent or any other Person may arrange for existing Applicable Lenders to the Borrowers within any Borrower Group to increase their Tranche A Revolving Commitments to the Borrowers within such Borrower Group or for other Persons to become Applicable Lenders to the Borrowers within such Borrower Group hereunder and to issue revolving commitments in an amount equal to the amount of the increase in the aggregate total of Tranche A Revolving Commitments requested by the Borrower Agent for the Borrowers within such Borrower Group (each such increase by either means, a “Revolving Commitment Increase”, each such Revolving Commitment Increase issued to U.S. Borrowers, a “U.S. Revolving Commitment Increase” and each such Revolving Commitment Increase issued to the Canadian Borrowers, a “Canadian Revolving Commitment Increase”, and each such Person issuing, or Applicable Lender increasing, its Revolving Commitment, an “Additional Revolving Commitment Lender”, and each such Additional Revolving Commitment Lender to U.S. Borrowers, an “Additional U.S. Revolving Commitment Lender” and each such Additional Revolving Commitment Lender to the Canadian Borrowers, an “Additional Canadian Revolving Lender”); provided, however, that (A) no Tranche A Revolving Lender shall be obligated to provide a Revolving Commitment Increase as a result of any such request by the Borrower Agent, provided that the Borrower Agent shall not be obligated to provide any existing Tranche A Revolving Lender with the opportunity to provide a Revolving Commitment Increase and (B) any Additional Revolving Commitment Lender that is not an existing Tranche A Revolving Lender shall be an Eligible Assignee and shall be subject to the approval of the Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Borrower Agent (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld). Each Revolving Commitment Increase shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of at least $20,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Each Revolving Commitment Increase shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.23(b) and any Tranche A Revolving Loans pursuant to such Revolving Commitment Increase or new Tranche A Revolving Commitments shall be on the same terms and conditions as all other Tranche A Revolving Loans, except with respect to any fees payable in connection therewith as may be separately agreed among the Borrower Agent and the Additional Revolving Commitment Lenders.

(ii) No Revolving Commitment Increase shall become effective unless and until each of the following conditions have been satisfied:

(A) the Borrower Agent, the Agent, and any Additional Revolving Commitment Lender shall have executed and delivered a customary joinder to the Loan Documents;

- 101 -

(B) the Borrowers within the Borrower Group that are receiving such Revolving Commitment Increase shall have paid such fees and other compensation as the Borrower Agent and each such Additional Revolving Commitment Lender may agree;

(C) the Borrower Agent shall have delivered to the Agent and the Revolving Lenders an opinion or opinions, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, from counsel to the Borrowers reasonably satisfactory to the Agent (it being agreed that the counsel that delivers the legal opinions on the Effective Date shall be satisfactory to the Agent) and dated such date;

(D) to the extent requested by any Additional Revolving Commitment Lender that has issued an Additional Revolving Commitment to the Borrowers within a Borrower Group, a promissory note will be issued, at the expense of the Borrowers within such Borrower Group, to such Additional Revolving Commitment Lender, to be in conformity with the requirements of Section 2.10 (with appropriate modification) to the extent necessary to reflect the new Revolving Commitment of such Additional Revolving Commitment Lender; and

(E) the Borrower Agent shall have delivered to the Agent (1) the resolutions adopted by each Loan Party approving or consenting to such Revolving Commitment Increase and (2) a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Company to the effect that, after giving effect to the requested Revolving Commitment Increase, (x) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (y) the representations and warranties of the Loan Parties set forth in this Agreement and in each of the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (or, in the case of any representations and warranties qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in all respects) on and as of the date of such Revolving Credit Increase, as applicable, 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 (or, in the case of any representations and warranties qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in all respects) as of such earlier date).

(iii) The Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender as to the effectiveness of each Revolving Commitment Increase (with each date of such effectiveness being referred to herein as a “Revolving Commitment Increase Date”), and at such time (A) the aggregate total Tranche A Revolving Commitments and the aggregate total Commitments under, and for all purposes of, this Agreement shall be increased by the aggregate amount of such Revolving Commitment Increase, (B) in the case of any U.S. Revolving Commitment Increase, the aggregate total U.S. Revolving Commitments and the aggregate total U.S. Commitments under, and for all purposes of, this Agreement shall be increased by the aggregate amount of such U.S. Revolving Commitment Increase, (C) in the case of any Canadian Revolving Commitment Increase, the aggregate total Canadian Revolving Commitments and the aggregate total Canadian Commitments under, and for all purposes of, this Agreement shall be increased by the aggregate amount of such Canadian Revolving Commitment Increase, (D) the Commitment Schedule shall be deemed modified, without further action, to reflect the revised Tranche A Revolving Commitments of the U.S. Revolving Lenders and the Canadian Revolving Lenders, respectively, and (E) this Agreement shall be deemed amended, without further action, to the extent necessary to reflect such increased aggregate total Commitments.

- 102 -

(iv) In connection with Revolving Commitment Increases to the Borrowers within a Borrower Group hereunder, the Applicable Tranche A Lenders and the Borrowers within such Borrower Group agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (A) the Borrowers within such Borrower Group shall, in coordination with the Agent, (1) repay outstanding Revolving Loans of certain Applicable Lenders, and obtain Revolving Loans from certain other Applicable Lenders (including the Additional Revolving Commitment Lenders to such Borrower Group), or (2) take such other actions as reasonably may be required by the Agent, in each case to the extent necessary so that all of the Applicable Tranche A Lenders effectively participate in each of the outstanding Tranche A Revolving Loans to such Borrower Group pro rata on the basis of their Applicable Percentages (determined after giving effect to any increase in the aggregate total Tranche A Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.23); and (B) the Borrowers within such Borrower Group shall pay to the Applicable Tranche A Lenders any costs of the type referred to in Section 2.16 in connection with any repayment and/or prepayment of Revolving Loans required pursuant to preceding clause (A). Without limiting the obligations of the Borrowers provided for in this Section 2.23(b), the Agent and the Applicable Tranche A Lenders agree that they will use their commercially reasonable efforts to attempt to minimize the costs of the type referred to in Section 2.16 which the Borrowers receiving a Revolving Commitment Increase would otherwise occur in connection with the implementation of an increase in the aggregate total Tranche A Revolving Commitments and the aggregate total Commitments hereunder.

SECTION 2.24 Borrower Agent. Each Borrower hereby designates the Company as its representative and agent (in such capacity, the “Borrower 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 Certificates 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 Banks or any Lender. The Borrower Agent hereby accepts such appointment. The Agent, the Issuing Banks, 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 Borrower Agent on behalf of any Borrower. The Agent, the Issuing Banks, and the Lenders may give any notice or communication with a Borrower hereunder to the Borrower Agent on behalf of such Borrower. Each of the Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall have the right, in its discretion, to deal exclusively with the Borrower Agent 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 Borrower Agent shall be binding upon and enforceable against it. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no Borrower (other than the Borrower Agent) shall be authorized to request any Borrowing or Letter of Credit hereunder without the prior written consent of the Company.

SECTION 2.25 Joint and Several Liability of the U.S. Borrowers. (a) Each U.S. Borrower agrees that it is absolutely and unconditionally jointly and severally liable, as co-borrower, for the prompt payment and performance of all U.S. Obligations and all agreements of each of the U.S. Borrowers under the Loan Documents. Each U.S. Borrower agrees that its co-borrower obligations hereunder are direct obligations of payment and not of collection, that such obligations shall not be discharged until the Termination Date.

(b) It is agreed among each U.S. Borrower, the Agent, the Applicable Issuing Banks and the Applicable Lenders that the provisions of this Section 2.25 are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents and that, but for such provisions, the Agent, the Applicable Issuing Banks and the Applicable Lenders would decline to make Loans to the U.S. Borrowers and issue Letters

- 103 -

of Credit for the account of U.S. Borrowers. Each U.S. Borrower acknowledges that its obligations pursuant to this Section are necessary to the conduct and promotion of its business, and can be expected to benefit such business.

(c) Nothing contained in this Agreement (including any provisions of this Section 2.25 to the contrary) shall limit the liability of (i) any U.S. Borrower to pay Loans made directly or indirectly to that U.S. Borrower (including Loans advanced to any other U.S. Borrower and then re-loaned or otherwise transferred to, or for the benefit of, such U.S. Borrower), U.S. LC Exposure and all accrued interest, fees, expenses and other related U.S. Obligations with respect thereto, for which such U.S. Borrower shall be primarily liable for all purposes hereunder, or (ii) the Company in respect of all of the U.S. Obligations under the Loan Documents. The Agent, the Applicable Issuing Banks and the U.S. Revolving Lenders shall have the right, at any time in their discretion, to condition Loans and Letters of Credit upon a separate calculation of borrowing availability for each U.S. Borrower and to restrict the disbursement and use of such Loans and Letters of Credit to such U.S. Borrower.

(d) Each U.S. Borrower has requested that the Agent and the U.S. Revolving Lenders make this credit facility available to the U.S. Borrowers on a combined basis, in order to finance the U.S. Borrowers’ business most efficiently and economically. The U.S. Borrowers’ business is a mutual and collective enterprise, and the U.S. Borrowers believe that consolidation of their credit facility will enhance the borrowing power of each U.S. Borrower and ease the administration of their relationship with the U.S. Revolving Lenders, all to the mutual advantage of the U.S. Borrowers. The U.S. Borrowers acknowledge and agree that the Agent’s and the U.S. Revolving Lenders’ willingness to extend credit to the U.S. Borrowers and to administer the U.S. Collateral on a combined basis, as set forth herein, is done solely as an accommodation to the U.S. Borrowers and at the U.S. Borrowers’ request.

(e) In any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state, Federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any U.S. Borrower under this Section 2.25 or under this Agreement would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of such U.S. Borrower’s liability under this Section 2.25 or under this Agreement, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.25 to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the U.S. Borrowers or the Applicable Lenders, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding (such highest amount determined hereunder being the relevant U.S. Borrower’s maximum liability (“U.S. Borrower’s Maximum Liability”). This Section 2.25(e) with respect to the U.S. Borrower’s Maximum Liability of each U.S. Borrower is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Applicable Lenders to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable law, and no U.S. Borrower nor any other Person or entity shall have any right or claim under this Section with respect to such U.S. Borrower’s Maximum Liability, except to the extent necessary so that the obligations of any U.S. Borrower hereunder shall not be rendered voidable under applicable law. Each U.S. Borrower agrees that the U.S. Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the U.S. Borrower’s Maximum Liability of each U.S. Borrower without impairing this Section 2.25 or this Agreement, or affecting the rights and remedies of the Applicable Lenders hereunder, provided that nothing in this sentence shall be construed to increase any U.S. Borrower’s obligations hereunder beyond its U.S. Borrower’s Maximum Liability.

(f) In the event any U.S. Borrower (a “U.S. Paying Borrower”) shall make any payment or payments under this Section 2.25 or shall suffer any loss as a result of any realization upon any collateral granted by it to secure its obligations under this Agreement, each other U.S. Borrower (each a “U.S. Non-Paying Borrower”) shall contribute to such U.S. Paying Borrower an amount equal to such U.S. Non-Paying Borrower’s “U.S. Borrower Percentage” of such payment or payments made, or losses suffered, by such U.S. Paying Borrower. For purposes of this Section 2.25, each U.S. Non-Paying

- 104 -

Borrower’s “U.S. Borrower Percentage” with respect to any such payment or loss by a U.S. Paying Borrower shall be determined as of the date on which such payment or loss was made by reference to the ratio of (i) such U.S. Non-Paying Borrower’s U.S. Borrower’s Maximum Liability as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder) or, if such U.S. Non-Paying Borrower’s U.S. Borrower’s Maximum Liability has not been determined, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such U.S. Non-Paying Borrower from any other U.S. Borrower after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means) to (ii) the aggregate U.S. Borrower’s Maximum Liability of all U.S. Borrowers hereunder (including such U.S. Paying Borrower) as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder), or to the extent that a U.S. Borrower’s Maximum Liability has not been determined for any U.S. Borrower, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such U.S. Borrowers from any other U.S. Borrower after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means). Nothing in this provision shall affect any U.S. Borrower’s several liability for the entire amount of the U.S. Obligations (up to such U.S. Borrower’s Maximum Liability). Each of the U.S. Borrowers covenants and agrees that its right to receive any contribution under this Section 2.25 from a U.S. Non-Paying Borrower shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the U.S. Obligations until the Termination Date. This provision is for the benefit of all of the Agent, the Applicable Issuing Banks, the Applicable Lenders, the U.S. Borrowers and the other U.S. Loan Parties and may be enforced by any one, or more, or all of them in accordance with the terms hereof.

SECTION 2.26 Loan Account; Statement of Obligations. (a) The Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual and customary practices an account or accounts (“Loan Account”) evidencing the Indebtedness of the Borrowers within each Borrower Group resulting from each Revolving Loan (including any Tranche B Loan and any Tranche C Loan) made to such Borrowers or issuance of a Letter of Credit for the account of such Borrowers from time to time, and all other payment Obligations of such Borrowers hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, including accrued interest, fees and expenses thereon. Any failure of the Agent to record anything in the Loan Account, or any error in doing so, shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrowers within each Borrower Group to pay any amount owing by such Borrower Group hereunder. The Agent may maintain a single Loan Account for each Borrower Group in the name of the Borrower Agent, and each Borrower within each Borrower Group confirms that such arrangement shall have no effect on the joint and several character of its liability for the Obligations of such Borrower Group. In the absence of manifest error, entries made in the Loan Account shall constitute presumptive evidence of the information contained therein.

(b) The Borrowers within each Borrower Group hereby authorize the Agent, from time to time without prior notice to the Borrowers within such Borrower Group, to charge to the Loan Account of such Borrower Group all interest and all fees payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, all costs and expenses payable by any Loan Party within such Borrower Group hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, all fees and costs provided for in Section 2.12 with respect to such Borrower Group, and all other payments due and payable under any Loan Document, which amounts so charged shall thereafter constitute Tranche A Revolving Loans owing by the Borrowers within such Borrower Group hereunder which shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Tranche A Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans in the case of Tranche A Revolving Loans owing by U.S. Borrowers, Canadian Base Rate Loans in the case of Tranche A Revolving Loans denominated in Dollars and owing by the Canadian Borrowers or Canadian Prime Rate Loans in the case of Tranche A Revolving Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars and owing by the Canadian Borrowers (unless and until converted into Interest Period Loans in accordance with the terms hereof); provided that the Agent shall not be authorized to charge any such amount to the Loan Account unless the same shall not have been paid by any Loan Party within the applicable Borrower Group when payment of such amount has otherwise become due and payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document. Any interest not paid

- 105 -

by any Loan Party within a Borrower Group within two (2) Business Days after such payment of such amount has otherwise become due and payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be compounded by being charged to the Loan Account of such Borrower Group and shall thereafter constitute Tranche A Revolving Loans hereunder owing by the Borrowers within such Borrower Group and shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Tranche A Revolving Loans that are ABR Loans in the case of Tranche A Revolving Loans owing by U.S. Borrowers, Canadian Base Rate Loans in the case of Tranche A Revolving Loans denominated in Dollars and owing by the Canadian Borrowers or Canadian Prime Rate Loans in the case of Tranche A Revolving Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars and owing by the Canadian Borrowers (unless and until converted into Interest Period Loans in accordance with the terms hereof).

SECTION 2.27 Extensions of Tranche A Revolving Loans and Tranche A Revolving Commitments. (a) The Borrower Agent may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Tranche A Revolving Commitments to the Borrowers within a Borrower Group (including any previously extended Tranche A Revolving Commitments to such Borrowers) existing at the time of such request (each, an “Existing Revolving Commitment” and any related Tranche A Revolving Loans under any such facility, “Existing Revolving Loans”) be exchanged to extend the termination date thereof and the scheduled maturity date(s) of any payment of principal with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of Existing Revolving Loans related to such Existing Revolving Commitments (any such Existing Revolving Commitments which have been so extended, “Extended Revolving Commitments”, any such Extended Revolving Commitments to the U.S. Borrowers, “Extended U.S. Revolving Commitments”, any such Extended Revolving Commitments to the Canadian Borrowers, “Extended Canadian Revolving Commitments” and any related Tranche A Revolving Loans, “Extended Revolving Loans”, any Extended Revolving Loans to the U.S. Borrowers, “Extended U.S. Revolving Loans” and any Extended Revolving Loans to the Canadian Borrowers, “Extended Canadian Revolving Loans”) and to provide for other terms consistent with this Section 2.27. Prior to entering into any Extension Agreement with respect to any Extended Revolving Commitments to the Borrowers within a Borrower Group, the Borrower Agent shall provide a notice to the Agent (who shall provide a copy of such notice to each of the Applicable Lenders of the applicable Class of Existing Revolving Commitments) (a “Revolving Extension Request”) setting forth the proposed terms of the Extended Revolving Commitments to be established thereunder, which terms shall be identical to those applicable to the Existing Revolving Commitments from which they are to be extended (the “Specified Existing Revolving Commitment Class”) except (x) all or any of the final maturity dates of such Extended Revolving Commitments may be delayed to later dates than the final maturity dates of the Existing Revolving Commitments of the Specified Existing Revolving Commitment Class, (y) the all-in pricing (including, without limitation, margins, fees and premiums) with respect to the Extended Revolving Commitments may be higher or lower than the all-in pricing (including, without limitation, margins, fees and premiums) for the Existing Revolving Commitments of the Specified Existing Revolving Commitment Class and (z) the commitment fee rate with respect to the Extended Revolving Commitments may be higher or lower than the commitment fee rate for Existing Revolving Commitments of the Specified Existing Revolving Commitment, in each case, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Agreement; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.27 or otherwise, (1) the borrowing and repayment (other than in connection with a permanent repayment and termination of commitments) of the Extended Revolving Loans under any Extended Revolving Commitments to the Borrowers within any Borrower Group shall be made on a pro rata basis with any borrowings and repayments of the Existing Revolving Loans to the Borrowers within such Borrower Group (the mechanics for which may be implemented through the applicable Extension Agreement and may include technical changes related to the borrowing and repayment procedures of this Agreement), (2) assignments and participations of Extended Revolving Commitments and Extended Revolving Loans shall be governed by the assignment and participation provisions set forth in Section 9.04 and (3)(I) in the case of Section 2.09, no permanent repayment of Extended Revolving Loans by the

- 106 -

Borrowers within a Borrower Group (and corresponding permanent reduction in the related Extended Revolving Commitments to such Borrowers) shall be permitted unless all Existing Revolving Loans to such Borrowers and all Existing Revolving Commitments to such Borrowers of the Specified Existing Revolving Commitment Class, shall have been repaid in full and terminated, respectively and (II) in all other cases, no termination of Extended Revolving Commitments to the Borrowers within a Borrower Group and no repayment of Extended Revolving Loans by such Borrowers accompanied by a corresponding permanent reduction in Extended Revolving Commitments to such Borrowers shall be permitted unless such termination or repayment (and corresponding reduction) is accompanied by at least a pro rata termination or permanent repayment (and corresponding pro rata permanent reduction), as applicable, of the Existing Revolving Loans to such Borrowers and Existing Revolving Commitments to such Borrowers of the Specified Existing Revolving Commitment Class (or all Existing Revolving Commitments of such Class and related Existing Revolving Loans shall have otherwise been terminated and repaid in full). Any Extended Revolving Commitments of any Extension Series shall constitute a separate Class of Revolving Commitments from Existing Revolving Commitments of the Specified Existing Revolving Commitment Class and from any other Existing Revolving Commitments (together with any other Extended Revolving Commitments so established on such date).

(b) The Borrower Agent shall provide the applicable Extension Request with respect to the Existing Revolving Commitments of the Borrowers within any Borrower Group at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which the Applicable Lenders under the Existing Class are requested to respond. Any Applicable Lender (an “Extending Lender”) wishing to have all or a portion of its Tranche A Revolving Commitments (or any earlier Extended Revolving Commitments) of an Existing Class subject to such Extension Request exchanged into Extended Loans/Commitments shall notify the Agent (an “Extension Election”) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Tranche A Revolving Commitments (and/or any earlier Extended Revolving Commitments) which it has elected to convert into Extended Loans/Commitments to such Borrowers, but in no event shall any Applicable Lender be required to become an Extending Lender. In the event that the aggregate amount of Tranche A Revolving Commitments (and any earlier Extended Revolving Commitments) subject to Extension Elections with respect to any Borrower Group exceeds the amount of Extended Loans/Commitments requested by such Borrower Group pursuant to the Extension Request, Tranche A Revolving Commitments (and any earlier Extended Revolving Commitments) subject to Extension Elections with respect to such Borrower Group shall be exchanged to Extended Loans/Commitments with respect to such Borrower Group on a pro rata basis based on the amount of Tranche A Revolving Commitments (and any earlier Extended Revolving Commitments) included in each such Extension Election. Notwithstanding the conversion of any Existing Revolving Commitment into an Extended Revolving Commitment, such Extended Revolving Commitment shall be treated identically to all Existing Revolving Commitments of the Specified Existing Revolving Commitment Class for purposes of the obligations of an Applicable Lender in respect of Swingline Loans under Section 2.05 and Letters of Credit under Section 2.06, except that the applicable Extension Agreement may provide that the last day for making Swingline Loans and/or the last day for issuing Letters of Credit with respect to the Borrowers within the applicable Borrower Group may be extended and the related obligations to make Swingline Loans and issue Letters of Credit with respect to such Borrowers may be continued (pursuant to mechanics set forth in the applicable Extension Agreement) so long as the Applicable Swingline Lender and/or the Applicable Issuing Bank, as applicable, have consented to such extensions (it being understood that no consent of any other Lender shall be required in connection with any such extension).

(c) Extended Loans/Commitments shall be established pursuant to an amendment (an “Extension Agreement”) to this Agreement (which, except to the extent expressly contemplated by the penultimate sentence of this Section 2.27(c) and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 9.02, shall not require the consent of any Lender other than the Extending Lenders with respect to the Extended Loans/Commitments established thereby) executed by the Borrower Agent, the Agent and

- 107 -

the Extending Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.27 and without limiting the generality or applicability of Section 9.02 to any Section 2.27 Additional Agreements, any Extension Agreement may provide for additional terms and/or additional amendments other than those referred to or contemplated above (any such additional amendment, a “Section 2.27 Additional Agreement”) to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that such Section 2.27 Additional Agreements do not become effective prior to the time that such Section 2.27 Additional Agreements have been consented to (including, without limitation, pursuant to consents applicable to holders of any Extended Loans/Commitments provided for in any Extension Agreement) by such of the Lenders, Loan Parties and other parties (if any) as may be required in order for such Section 2.27 Additional Agreements to become effective in accordance with Section 9.02. It is understood and agreed that each Lender has consented, and shall at the effective time thereof be deemed to consent to each amendment to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents authorized by this Section 2.27 and the arrangements described above in connection therewith except that the foregoing shall not constitute a consent on behalf of any Lender to the terms of any Section 2.27 Additional Agreement. In connection with any Extension Agreement, the Borrower Agent shall deliver an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Agent (i) as to the enforceability of such Extension Agreement, this Agreement as amended thereby, and such of the other Loan Documents (if any) as may be amended thereby (in the case of such other Loan Documents as contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence), (ii) to the effect that such Extension Agreement, including without limitation, the Extended Loans/Commitments provided for therein, does not conflict with or violate the terms and provisions of Section 9.02 of this Agreement and (iii) as to any other matter reasonably requested by the Agent.

SECTION 2.28 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the Available Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(a);

(b) the Tranche A Revolving Commitment or, Tranche B Commitment or Tranche C Commitment and U.S. Revolving Exposure, Canadian Revolving Exposure or, Tranche B Exposure or Tranche C Exposure, as applicable, of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders, all affected Lenders, the Required Lenders or the Super Majority Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 9.02); provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Revolving Lenders or each affected Revolving Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Revolving Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender;

(c) if any Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time an Applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i) all or any part of such Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of such Applicable Defaulting Lender with respect to the Borrowers within the applicable Borrower Group shall be reallocated among the Applicable Tranche A Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders with respect to such Borrower Group in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (excluding, for purposes of calculating the Applicable Percentages, the Commitments and Loans of the Applicable Defaulting Lender) but only to the extent (x) the sum of all non-Applicable Defaulting Lenders’ U.S. Revolving Exposures or Canadian Revolving Exposures, as applicable, plus such Applicable Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure with respect to such Borrower Group does not exceed the lesser of the total of the Tranche A Revolving Commitments of all the Applicable Tranche A Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders such Borrower Group and the U.S. Borrowing Base or Canadian Borrowing Base, as applicable, and (y) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at such time; and

- 108 -

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers within the applicable Borrower Group shall within three (3) Business Days following notice by the Agent (x) first, prepay the Swingline Exposure of such Applicable Defaulting Lender with respect to such Borrower Group and (y) second, cash collateralize such Applicable Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure with respect to such Borrower Group (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.06(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

(iii) if the Borrowers within a Borrower Group cash collateralize any portion of such Applicable Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure with respect to such Borrower Group pursuant to this Section 2.28(c), the Borrowers within such Borrower Group shall not be required to pay any fees to such Applicable Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Applicable Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure to such Borrowers during the period to the extent such Applicable Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;

(iv) if the LC Exposure of the Applicable Defaulting Lender with respect to the Borrowers within a Borrower Group is reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.28(c), then the fees payable to the non-Applicable Defaulting Lenders pursuant to Section 2.12(a) and Section 2.12(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Applicable Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages (excluding, for purposes of calculating the Applicable Percentages, the Commitments and Loans of the Applicable Defaulting Lender); or

(v) if any Applicable Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.28(c), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Applicable Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Applicable Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Applicable Issuing Bank until such LC Exposure is cash collateralized and/or reallocated;

(d) so long as any Applicable Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Applicable Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Applicable Issuing Banks shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Borrower Group Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrowers within such Borrower Group in accordance with Section 2.28(c), and participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit or newly made Swingline Loan shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders to such Borrower Group in a manner consistent with Section 2.28(c)(i) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein); and

(e) in the event and on the date that each of the Agent, the Borrower Agent, the Applicable Issuing Banks and the Applicable Swingline Lender agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Applicable Tranche A Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of the other Applicable Tranche A Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of the Tranche A Revolving Commitment of the Applicable Tranche A Lender that previously was a Defaulting Lender and on such date such Applicable Tranche A Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Applicable Tranche A Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Applicable Tranche A Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.

- 109 -

SECTION 2.29 Currency Matters. Dollars are the currency of account and payment for each and every sum at any time due from the Loan Parties hereunder, provided that, unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise agreed to by the Agent:

(a) Each repayment of a Loan or a reimbursement of a draw on a Letter of Credit, as applicable, or a part thereof shall be made in the currency in which such Loan or Letter of Credit is denominated at the time of such repayment;

(b) Each payment of interest shall be made in the currency in which such principal or other sum in respect of which such interest has accrued is denominated;

(c) Each payment of fees by a U.S. Borrower shall be in Dollars;

(d) Each payment of fees by a Canadian Borrower shall be in Canadian Dollars;

(e) Each payment in respect of costs, expenses and indemnities shall be made in the currency in which the same were incurred by the party to whom payment is to be made (unless such currency is not Dollars or Canadian Dollars, in which case such payment shall be made in Dollars); and

(f) Any amount expressed to be payable in Canadian Dollars shall be paid in Canadian Dollars.

No payment to any Secured Party (whether under any judgment or court order or otherwise) shall discharge the obligation or liability of the Loan Party in respect of which it was made unless and until such Secured Party shall have received payment in full in the currency in which such obligation or liability was incurred or is outstanding (unless such currency is not Dollars or Canadian Dollars, in which case such payment shall be made in Dollars). To the extent that the amount of any such payment shall, on actual conversion into such currency, fall short of such obligation or liability, whether actual or contingent (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made or asserted), expressed in such currency, such Loan Party (together with the other Loan Parties within its Borrower Group) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless such Secured Party, with respect to the amount of such shortfall, with such indemnity surviving termination of this Agreement and any legal proceeding, judgment or court order pursuant to which the original payment was made which resulted in the shortfall. To the extent that the amount of any such payment to a Secured Party shall, upon an actual conversion into such currency, exceed such obligation or liability, whether actual or contingent (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made or asserted), expressed in that currency, such Secured Party shall return such excess to the members of the applicable Borrower Group.

SECTION 2.30 Currency Fluctuations.

(a) On the last Business Day of each calendar month or, in the event that the Exchange Rate fluctuates in excess of ten percent (10%) during such calendar month, any other Business Day in the reasonable discretion of the Agent (the “Calculation Date”), the Agent shall determine the Exchange Rate as of such date. The Exchange Rate so determined shall become effective on the first Business Day immediately following such determination (a “Reset Date”) and shall remain effective until the next succeeding Reset Date. Nothing contained in this Section 2.30 shall be construed to require the Agent to calculate compliance under this Section 2.30 more frequently than once each month.

(b) On each Reset Date, the Agent shall determine the Dollar Equivalent Amount of the Canadian Revolving Exposure.

- 110 -

(c) If, on any Reset Date, (i) the Canadian Revolving Exposure or the Dollar Equivalent Amount of the Canadian Obligations exceeds the lesser of the Canadian Revolving Commitments and the Canadian Borrowing Base on such date or (ii) the Tranche C Exposure exceeds the lesser of the Tranche C Commitments and the Tranche C Borrowing Base (the amount of any such excess referred to herein as the “Excess Amount”) then (i) the Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrowers within the applicable Borrower Group and the Applicable Lenders and (ii) within one (1) Business Day thereafter, such Borrowers shall cause such excess to be eliminated, either by repayment of Revolving Loans to such Borrowers or depositing of Cash Collateral with the Agent with respect to outstanding Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Borrowers, and until such Excess Amount is repaid or so cash collateralized, the Applicable Lenders shall not have any obligation to make any Loans.

SECTION 2.31 Obligations of the Canadian Loan Parties. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, no Canadian Loan Party shall be liable or in any manner responsible for, or be deemed to have guaranteed, directly or indirectly, whether as a primary obligor, guarantor, indemnitor, or otherwise, and none of their assets shall secure, directly or indirectly, any of the U.S. Loan Parties’ U.S. Obligations (including, without limitation, principal, interest, fees, penalties, premiums, expenses, charges, reimbursements, indemnities or any other U.S. Obligations) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

ARTICLE III.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

The execution, delivery and performance by each of the Loan Parties of each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, the borrowing of Loans and the other credit extensions, the use of the proceeds thereof and the issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder are, to the extent applicable, within each applicable Loan Party’s organizational powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary organizational and, if required, equityholder action of such Loan Party. Each Loan Document to which each Loan Party is a party has been duly executed and delivered by such Loan Party and is a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity.

SECTION 3.04 Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Change. (a) The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet of Holdings and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2012 (including any notes thereto) (the “Pro Forma Balance Sheet” and such date, the “Pro Forma Balance Sheet Date”), copies of which have heretofore been furnished to each Lender, has been prepared giving effect (as if such events had occurred on such date) to the consummation of the Transactions. The Pro Forma Balance Sheet has been prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable as of the date thereof, and presents fairly on a pro forma basis the estimated financial position of Holdings and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at the Pro Forma Balance Sheet Date, assuming that the events specified in the preceding sentence had actually occurred at such date.

(b) The audited consolidated balance sheets of Holdings and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of January 2, 2010, January 1, 2011, and December 31, 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income and of cash flows of Holdings and its consolidated Subsidiaries for the fiscal years ended on such dates, reported on by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent public accountants, present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial position of Holdings and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of such dates and the consolidated results of operations and consolidated cash flows of Holdings and its consolidated Subsidiaries for the respective fiscal years ended as of such dates. The unaudited consolidated balance sheet of Holdings and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of October 27, 2012, and the related unaudited consolidated statements of income and cash flows of Holdings and its consolidated Subsidiaries for the fiscal month period ended on such date, and the corresponding statements of income and cash flows of Holdings and its consolidated Subsidiaries for the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year, present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial condition of Holdings and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of such dates (subject to the absence of footnotes and normal year-end adjustments) and the consolidated results of operations and consolidated cash flows of Holdings and its consolidated Subsidiaries for the fiscal-month period ended as of such dates (subject to the absence of footnotes and normal year-end adjustments). All such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as approved by the aforementioned firm of accountants and disclosed therein). No U.S. Loan Party has any material liabilities or material obligations of any kind whatsoever, whether accrued, contingent, absolute, determined, determinable or otherwise, and whether due or to become due, other than liabilities or obligations provided for in the financial statements referred to in this paragraph, liabilities or obligations arising in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice or liabilities which would not be required to be disclosed in an audited balance sheet (or in the notes thereto) that is prepared in accordance with GAAP.

(c) No event, change or condition has occurred that has had, or would reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect, since the Effective Date.

SECTION 3.05 Properties. Each Loan Party and each of its Subsidiaries has good and insurable fee simple title to, or valid leasehold interests in, or easements or other limited property interests in, all its real properties (including all Mortgaged Properties) and has good and marketable title to its personal property and assets, in each case, except for defects in title that do not materially interfere with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such

- 112 -

properties and assets for their intended purposes and except where the failure to have such title would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. All such properties and assets are free and clear of Liens, other than Liens (i) permitted by Section 6.02 or (ii) arising by operation of law (which Liens, in the case of this clause (ii) do not materially interfere with the ability of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries to carry on its business as now conducted or to utilize the affected properties or assets for their intended purposes).

SECTION 3.06 Litigation and Environmental Matters. (a) There are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened against or affecting the Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries (i) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, would reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) that involve any Loan Documents.

(b) Except for matters that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect (i) no Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries has received written notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability and (ii) no Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries (1) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval required under any Environmental Law or (2) has become subject to any Environmental Liability.

SECTION 3.07 Compliance with Laws, No Default. Each Loan Party is in compliance with all Requirements of Law applicable to it or its property, except where the failure to be so in compliance, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Default has occurred and is continuing.

SECTION 3.08 Investment Company Status. No Loan Party is an “investment company” as defined in, or is required to be registered under, the Investment Company Act of 1940.

SECTION 3.09 Taxes. Each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries has timely filed or caused to be filed all Tax returns and reports required to have been filed and has paid or caused to be paid all Taxes required to have been paid by it, except (a) Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which such Loan Party or such Subsidiary, as applicable, has set aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP or (b) to the extent that the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.10 ERISA; Canadian Pension Plans. (a) No ERISA Event has occurred in the five year period prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made and is continuing or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under all Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair market value of the assets of such Plans, in the aggregate.

(b) Canadian Loan Parties are in compliance in all material respects with the requirements of the PBA and of any binding requirements of general application of a Governmental Authority with respect to each Canadian Pension Plan and are in compliance with any directive or order of a Governmental Authority directed specifically at a Canadian Pension Plan. No fact or situation that may reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect exists in connection with any

- 113-

Canadian Pension Plan. No Canadian Loan Party or an Affiliate thereof maintains, contributes or has any liability with respect to a Canadian Pension Plan which provides benefits on a defined benefit basis other than a Canadian MEPP. No Pension Event has occurred that when taken together with all other Pension Events and ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. All contributions required to be made by any Canadian Loan Party or its Subsidiary to any Canadian Pension Plan have been made in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such Canadian Pension Plan and the PBA. No Lien has arisen, choate or inchoate, in respect of any Canadian Loan Party or their property in connection with any Canadian Pension Plan (save for contribution amounts not yet due).

SECTION 3.11 Disclosure. (a) All written information (other than the Projections, the pro forma financial statements and estimates and information of a general economic or general industry nature) concerning the Company, the Transactions and any other transactions contemplated hereby prepared by or on behalf of the foregoing or their representatives and made available to any Lender or the Agent in connection with the Transactions on or before the date hereof (the “Information”), when taken as a whole, as of the date such Information was furnished to the Lenders and as of the Effective Date, did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact as of any such date or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made (giving effect to all supplements and updates).

(b) The Projections, pro forma financial statements and estimates prepared by or on behalf of the Company or any of its representatives and that have been made available to any Lender or the Agent in connection with the Transactions on or before the date hereof (the “Other Information”) (i) have been prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable as of the date thereof (it being recognized that such Other Information is as to future events and is not to be viewed as a fact, the Other Information is subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries, that no assurance can be given that any particular projections will be realized and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such Other Information may differ from the projected results and such differences may be material), and (ii) as of the Effective Date, have not been modified in any material respect by the Loan Parties.

As of the Effective Date, and immediately after giving effect to the Canadian Acquisition and the consummation of the other Transactions to occur on the Effective Date, (i) the fair value of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, at a fair valuation, will exceed the debts and liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, of the Company and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis; (ii) the present fair saleable value of the property of the Company and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, on their debts and other liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured; (iii) the Company and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, will be able to pay their debts and liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured; and (iv) the Company and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the businesses in which they are engaged as such businesses are now conducted and are proposed to be conducted following the Effective Date.

SECTION 3.13 Insurance. All insurance required by Section 5.10 is in full force and effect and all premiums in respect of such insurance have been duly paid. The Company believes that the insurance maintained by or on behalf of the Company and the Subsidiaries is adequate and is in accordance with normal industry practice.

- 114 -

SECTION 3.14 Capitalization and Subsidiaries. As of the Effective Date, Schedule 3.14 sets forth (a) a correct and complete list of the name and relationship to the Company of each and all of the Company’s Subsidiaries, (b) a true and complete listing of each class of the Company’s and each Subsidiary’s authorized Equity Interests, of which all of such issued shares are validly issued, outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable, and owned beneficially and of record by the Persons identified on Schedule 3.14, and (c) the type of entity of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries.

SECTION 3.15 Security Interest in Collateral. The provisions of the Collateral Documents are effective to create legal and valid Liens (a) on the applicable U.S. Collateral described in each therein in favor of the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties and (b) on the applicable Canadian Collateral described in each therein in favor of the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent, the Canadian Revolving Lenders, the Tranche C Lenders and the other applicable Secured Parties (in each case, to the extent such matter is governed by the laws of the United States, Canada or any respective jurisdiction therein); and upon the taking of all actions described in the Loan Documents (but subject to the limitations set forth therein), including, without limitation, the filing of UCC financing statements covering the appropriate Collateral in the state of organization of each applicable U.S. Loan Party, the filing of PPSA and UCC financing statements covering the appropriate Collateral in the places of the registered office or domicile, the chief executive office and principal place of business and locations of Collateral of each Canadian Loan Party and the filings of short form agreements or other applicable documents or notices in respect of registered and applied for United States and Canadian federal intellectual property owned by each Loan Party, such Liens will constitute perfected Liens on the Collateral, securing the applicable Secured Obligations, enforceable against the applicable Loan Party, and having priority over all other Liens on the Collateral except in the case of (a) Permitted Encumbrances and other Liens permitted under Section 6.02, to the extent any such Permitted Encumbrances or such Liens would have priority over the Liens in favor of the Agent pursuant to any applicable law or otherwise, (b) Liens perfected only by possession (including possession of any certificate of title) to the extent the Agent has not obtained or does not maintain possession of such Collateral and (c) subject to and as provided for under the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Liens granted to the Noteholder Collateral Agent on the U.S. Collateral under the Senior Secured Notes Security Documents.

Except as, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect the consummation of the Transactions will not give rise to a right of termination or right of renegotiation on the part of any union under any collective bargaining agreement to which any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries (or any predecessor) is a party or by which any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries (or any predecessor) is bound.

- 115 -

SECTION 3.17 Federal Reserve Regulations. (a) On the Effective Date, none of the Collateral is Margin Stock.

(b) No Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of buying or carrying Margin Stock.

SECTION 3.18 Senior Indebtedness. The obligations of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents (a) for principal (including reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit whether or not drawn), interest (including, to the extent legally permitted, all interest accrued thereon after the commencement of any insolvency or liquidation proceeding at the rate, including any applicable post-default rate, specified in the applicable agreement), premium (if any), fees, indemnifications, reimbursements, expenses, damages and other liabilities payable under the Loan Documents constitute “Senior Indebtedness” under and as defined in the Senior Subordinated Note Documents, and (b) for unpaid principal (including reimbursement obligations with respect to drawn Letters of Credit) and accrued interest (including, to the extent legally permitted, all interest accrued thereon after the commencement of any insolvency or liquidation proceeding at the rate, including any applicable post-default rate, specified in the applicable agreement) constitute “Designated Senior Indebtedness” under and as defined in the Senior Subordinated Note Documents.

The Senior Secured Notes are not secured by any of the Canadian Collateral and the Lien priorities established pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement do not apply to the Canadian Collateral.

SECTION 3.19 Intellectual Property. Each Loan Party owns or has the lawful right to use all material intellectual property used in the conduct of its business, without conflict with any intellectual property rights of others, except as, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

The designation of any Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall constitute an investment by the Company therein at the date of designation in an amount equal to the net book value of the Company’s investment therein. The designation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Subsidiary shall constitute the incurrence at the time of designation of any Indebtedness or Liens of such Subsidiary existing at such time.

(i) EBITDA shall be increased with respect to such applicable fiscal quarter and any Test Period that contains such fiscal quarter, solely for the purpose of measuring the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio under Section 6.12 and not for any other purpose under this Agreement, by an amount equal to the Cure Amount; and

(ii) if, after giving effect to the foregoing pro forma adjustments, the Company shall then be in compliance with Section 6.12, the Company shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of Section 6.12 as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or default of Section 6.12 that had occurred shall be deemed cured for purposes of this Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII.

THE AGENT

Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints the Agent as its agent and authorizes the Agent to take such actions on its behalf, including execution of the other Loan Documents, and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent by the terms of the Loan

- 153 -

Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent shall have the sole and exclusive authority to (a) act as the disbursing and collecting agent for Lenders with respect to all payments and collections arising in connection with the Loan Documents, including, with respect to the Canadian Loan Parties, the Agent acting through its Canada branch; (b) execute and deliver as Agent each Loan Document, including any intercreditor or subordination agreement, and accept delivery of each Loan Document from any Loan Party or other Person; (c) act as collateral agent for Secured Parties for purposes of perfecting and administering Liens under the Loan Documents, and for all other purposes stated therein; (d) manage, supervise or otherwise deal with Collateral; and (e) take any enforcement action or otherwise exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral under the Loan Documents, applicable law or otherwise. The Agent alone shall be authorized to determine whether any Accounts or Inventory constitute Eligible Receivables or Eligible Inventory, or whether to impose or release any Reserve, which determinations and judgments, if exercised in good faith, shall exonerate the Agent from liability to any Lender or other Person for any error in judgment.

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

The Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Loan Party or any of its subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as the Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of, or for any losses not directly and solely caused by, its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Agent by the Borrower Agent or a Lender, and the Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection with any Loan Document, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the creation, perfection or priority of Liens on the Collateral or the existence of the Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agent.

If any Lender acquires knowledge of a Default or Event of Default, it shall promptly notify the Agent and the other Lenders thereof in writing. Each Lender agrees that, except as otherwise provided in any Loan Documents or with the written consent of the Agent and the Required Lenders, it will not take any enforcement action, accelerate the Obligations under any Loan Documents, or exercise any right that it might otherwise have under Applicable Law to credit bid at foreclosure sales, UCC sales

- 154 -

or other similar dispositions of Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, a Lender may take action to preserve or enforce its rights against a Loan Party where a deadline or limitation period is applicable that would, absent such action, bar enforcement of the Obligations held by such Lender, including the filing of proofs of claim in a Bankruptcy Proceeding.

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

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

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor to the Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower Agent. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Company, to appoint a successor; provided that, during the existence and continuation of an Event of Default, no consent of the Company shall be required. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a commercial bank or an Affiliate of any such commercial bank reasonably acceptable to the Company. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as the Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Company to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Company and such successor. After the Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents, branches and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as the Agent. Any successor to BANA by merger or acquisition of stock or this loan shall continue to be the Agent hereunder without further act on the part of the parties hereto, unless such successor resigns as provided above.

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

Each Lender hereby agrees that (a) it has requested a copy of each Report prepared by or on behalf of the Agent; (b) the Agent (i) does not make any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the completeness or accuracy of any Report or any of the information contained therein or any inaccuracy or omission contained in or relating to a Report or (ii) shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report; (c) the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, and that any Person performing any field examination will inspect only specific information regarding the Loan Parties and will rely significantly upon the Loan Parties’ books and records, as well as on representations of the Loan Parties’ personnel and that the Agent undertakes no obligation to update, correct or supplement the Reports; (d) it will keep all Reports confidential and strictly for its internal use, not share the Report with any Loan Party or any other Person except as otherwise permitted pursuant to this Agreement; and (e) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, it will pay and protect, and indemnify, defend, and hold the Agent and any such other Person preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Agent or such other Person as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender and any action such Lender may take as a result of or any conclusion it may draw from any such Report.

For the purposes of creating a solidarité active in accordance with Article 1541 of the Civil Code of Quebec between each Secured Party, taken individually, on the one hand, and the Agent, on the other hand, each Loan Party and each such Secured Party acknowledge and agree with the Agent that such Secured Party and the Agent are hereby conferred the legal status of solidary creditors of each such Loan Party in respect of all Obligations owed by each such Loan Party to the Agent and such Secured Party hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Solidary Claim”) and that, accordingly, but subject (for the avoidance of doubt) to Article 1542 of the Civil Code of Quebec, each such Loan Party is irrevocably bound towards the Agent and each Secured Party in respect of the entire Solidary Claim of the Agent and such Secured Party. As a result of the foregoing, the parties hereto acknowledge that the Agent and each Secured Party shall at all times have a valid and effective right of action for the entire Solidary Claim of the Agent and such Secured Party and the right to give full acquittance for it. Accordingly, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent, as solidary creditor with each Secured Party, shall at all times have a valid and effective right of action in respect of the Solidary Claim and the right to give a full acquittance for same. By its execution of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, each such Loan Party not a party hereto shall also be deemed to have accepted the stipulations hereinabove provided. The parties further agree and acknowledge that such Liens (hypothecs) under the Collateral Documents and the other Loan Documents shall be granted to the Agent, for its own benefit and for the benefit of the applicable Secured Parties, as solidary creditor as hereinabove set forth.

In addition, and without limiting any of the foregoing, for the purposes of holding any hypothec granted to the Attorney (as defined below) pursuant to the laws of the Province of Quebec to secure payment of any debenture issued by any Loan Party, each of the Secured Parties (as defined below) hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Agent and, to the extent necessary, ratifies the appointment and authorization of the Agent, to act as the person holding the power of attorney (i.e. “fondé de pouvoir”) (in such capacity, the “Attorney”) of the creditors as contemplated under Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Quebec, and to enter into, to take and to hold on their behalf, and for their benefit, any hypothec, and to exercise such powers and duties that are conferred upon the Attorney under any related deed of hypothec. Moreover, without prejudice to such appointment and authorization to act as the person holding the power of attorney as aforesaid, each of the Secured Parties hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Agent (in such capacity, the “Quebec Custodian”) to act as agent and custodian for and on behalf of the Secured Parties to hold and be the sole registered holder of any debenture which may be issued under any such deed of hypothec, the whole notwithstanding Section 32 of An Act respecting the

- 156 -

special powers of legal persons (Quebec) or any other applicable law, and to execute all related documents. Each of the Attorney and the Quebec Custodian shall: (a) have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise, except as may be otherwise specifically restricted by the terms hereof, all rights and remedies given to the Attorney and the Quebec Custodian (as applicable) pursuant to any such deed of hypothec, debenture, debenture pledge agreement, applicable laws or otherwise, (b) benefit from and be subject to all provisions hereof with respect to the Agent mutatis mutandis, including, without limitation, all such provisions with respect to the liability or responsibility to and indemnification by the Secured Parties, and (c) be entitled to delegate from time to time any of its powers or duties under any deed of hypothec, debenture, or debenture pledge agreement on such terms and conditions as it may determine from time to time. Any person who becomes a Secured Party shall, by its execution of an Assignment and Assumption, be deemed to have consented to and confirmed: (i) the Attorney as the person holding the power of attorney as aforesaid and to have ratified, as of the date it becomes a Secured Party, all actions taken by the Attorney in such capacity, and (ii) the Quebec Custodian as the agent and custodian as aforesaid and to have ratified, as of the date it becomes a Secured Party, all actions taken by the Quebec Custodian in such capacity. The substitution of the Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9 also constitute the substitution of the Attorney and the Quebec Custodian. For the purposes of this paragraph, “Secured Parties” means collectively (a) the Lenders, (b) the Agent, (c) each Issuing Bank, (d) each counterparty to any Swap Agreement with a Loan Party the obligations under which constitute Secured Swap Obligations, (e) each Swingline Lender, (f) the beneficiaries of each indemnification obligation undertaken by any Loan Party under any Loan Document, (g) each Person providing Banking Services which constitute Banking Services Obligations and (h) the successors and permitted assigns of each of the foregoing.

The co-arrangers, joint bookrunners and syndication agent shall not have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such.

SECTION 9.02 Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the Agent, an Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and under any other Loan Document are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent permitted by law, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Agent, any Lender or an Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (i) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders or (ii) in the case of any other Loan Document (other than any such amendment to effectuate any modification thereto expressly contemplated by the terms of such other Loan Documents), pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (A) increase the Commitment of any Lender (including any Defaulting Lender) without the written consent of such

- 158 -

Lender; it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Article IV or the waiver of any Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of any Revolving Commitments, or the making of any Protective Advance, so long as in compliance with the provisions of Section 2.04, shall not constitute an increase of any Revolving Commitment of any Revolving Lender; provided that any change to the second and third provisos to the second sentence of Section 2.04(a) shall require the written consent of each Revolving Lender, (B) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce or forgive any interest or fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (including any Defaulting Lender), (C) postpone any scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any date for the payment of any interest, fees or other Obligations payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; provided that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend the provisions of Section 2.13(hi) providing for the default rate of interest, or to waive any obligations of the Borrowers to pay interest at such default rate, (D) increase the advance rates set forth in the definition of Canadian Borrowing Base or U.S. Borrowing Base without the written consent of the Super Majority Lenders, (E) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders”, “Super Majority Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Revolving Lenders (or Revolving Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Revolving Lender, (F) release all or substantially all of the Loan Guarantors from their obligations under the Loan Guaranty (except as otherwise permitted herein or in the other Loan Documents, including pursuant to Section 6.03, 6.05 or 10.11 hereof), without the written consent of each Lender, (G) except as provided in clause (c) or (d) of this Section or in any Collateral Document, release all or substantially all of the Collateral, without the written consent of each Lender or (H) make any change to the definition of “Aggregate Borrowing Base,” “Borrowing Base”, “Canadian Borrowing Base”, “Eligible Tire Inventory”, “Eligible Non-Tire Inventory”, “Eligible Receivable” or “Net Orderly Liquidation Value”, “U.S. Borrowing Base”, or “Value” or add any new categories of eligible assets, in each case, that would have the effect of increasing the amount of the U.S. Borrowing Base or the Canadian Borrowing Base, without the written consent of the Super Majority Lenders; and provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Agent, any Applicable Issuing Bank or any Applicable Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of the Agent, such Applicable Issuing Bank or such Applicable Swingline Lender, as the case may be. The Agent may also amend the Commitment Schedule to reflect assignments entered into pursuant to Section 9.04. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased without the consent of such Lender (it being understood that any Commitment or Loan held or deemed held by any Defaulting Lender shall be excluded from a vote of the Lenders hereunder requiring any consent of the Lenders).

(c) The Lenders hereby irrevocably agree that the Liens granted to the Agent by the Loan Parties on any Collateral shall be automatically released (i) upon the Termination Date, (ii) upon the sale or other disposition of the property constituting such Collateral (including as part of or in connection with any other sale or other disposition permitted hereunder) to any Person other than another Loan Party, to the extent such sale or other disposition is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement (and the Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by any Loan Party upon its reasonable request without further inquiry), (iii) to the extent such Collateral is comprised of property leased to a Loan Party, upon termination or expiration of such lease, (iv) subject to paragraph (b) of this Section 9.02, if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders, (v) to the extent the property constituting such Collateral is owned by any Loan Guarantor, upon the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under its Loan Guaranty in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (vi) as required to effect any sale or other disposition of such Collateral in

- 159 -

connection with any exercise of remedies of the Agent and the Lenders pursuant to the Collateral Documents, and (vii) as required pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement; provided that the Agent may, in its discretion, release the Lien on Collateral valued in the aggregate not in excess of $5,000,000 during each fiscal year without the consent of any Lender. Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of the Loan Parties in respect of) all interests retained by the Loan Parties, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral to the extent required under the provisions of the Loan Documents.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 9.02, guarantees, collateral security documents and related documents executed by Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by the Agent and may be amended and waived with the consent of the Agent at the request of the Borrower Agent without the need to obtain the consent of any other Lenders if such amendment or waiver is delivered in order (i) to comply with local law or advice of local counsel, (ii) to cure ambiguities or defects or (iii) to cause such guarantee, collateral security document or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(e) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of “each Revolving Lender”, “each Lender”, “each Revolving Lender directly affected thereby” or “each Lender directly affected thereby”, the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Company may elect to replace a Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement, provided that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity which is reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash at par the Loans and other Obligations due to the Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of clause (b) of Section 9.04, (ii) the replacement Lender shall pay the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.04(b)(iii)(C), if applicable in accordance with the terms of such Section, (iii) the replacement Lender shall grant its consent with respect to the applicable proposed amendment, waiver or consent and (iv) the Borrowers within the applicable Borrower Group shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement (1) all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Non-Consenting Lender by the Borrowers within such Borrower Group hereunder to and including the date of termination, including, without limitation, payments due to such Non-Consenting Lender under Sections 2.15 and 2.17, and (2) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 2.16 had the Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender.

SECTION 9.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Company shall pay (i) all reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent, each of the Joint Lead Arrangers and their respective Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Parker, Hudson, Rainer & Dobbs LLP and Norton Rose Canada LLP, counsel for the Agent, in connection with the syndication and distribution (including, without limitation, via the internet or through a service such as Intralinks) of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation of the Loan Documents and related documentation, (ii) all reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one firm of outside U.S. legal counsel and one firm of outside Canadian local counsel (to the extent relevant) to the Agent, in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions of any Loan Documents (whether or not the transactions contemplated thereby shall be consummated), (iii) all

- 160 -

reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent, Issuing Banks or the Lenders, including the reasonable documented fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Agent and for one law firm retained by the Lenders, in connection with the enforcement, collection or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or related negotiations in respect of such Loans of Letters of Credit, and (iv) subject to any other provisions of this Agreement and the Loan Documents, all reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent in the administration of the Loan Documents. Expenses reimbursable by the Company under this Section include, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, subject to any other applicable provision of any Loan Document, reasonable documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with:

(i) appraisals;

(ii) field examinations and the preparation of Reports based on the fees charged by a third party retained by the Agent or (notwithstanding any reference to “out-of-pocket” above in this Section 9.03) the internally allocated fees for each Person employed by the Agent with respect to each field examination;

(iii) lien and title searches, title insurance and endorsements to Title Insurance Policies;

(iv) taxes, fees and other charges for recording any Mortgages, filing financing statements and continuations, and other actions to perfect, protect, and continue the Agent’s Liens; and

(v) forwarding loan proceeds, collecting checks and other items of payment, and establishing and maintaining the accounts and lock boxes, and costs and expenses of preserving and protecting the Collateral.

Other than to the extent required to be paid on the Effective Date, all amounts due under this paragraph (a) shall be payable by the Company within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of an invoice relating thereto and setting forth such expenses in reasonable detail.

(b) Each Borrower shall indemnify the Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities and related reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, expenses (including the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel for all Indemnitees and, if necessary, of a single separate firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) for all Indemnitees (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest (as reasonably determined by the Indemnitee affected by such conflict) where such Indemnitee informs the Company of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of another firm of counsel for such affected Indemnitee) incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of the Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by an Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any Environmental Liability related in any way to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation,

- 161 -

investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates); provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities or related expenses or fees (i) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, its Affiliates or any of its Related Parties, (ii) result from a material breach of the obligations of any such Indemnitee or one of its Related Parties under the Loan Documents or (iii) disputes brought by and between and among Indemnitees (not involving an act or omission of the Borrowers, the other Loan Parties or their Affiliates as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision); provided that the Agent, Issuing Banks and Swingline Lenders shall remain indemnified in respect of such disputes to the extent otherwise entitled to be so indemnified.

(c) To the extent that any Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Agent, an Issuing Bank or a Swingline Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Revolving Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent, such Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, penalty, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender in its capacity as such.

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no party to this Agreement shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto or any Related Party thereof, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, the RTD Transactions, the Hercules Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(e) All amounts due under this Section shall be paid, unless otherwise specified, promptly after written demand therefor.

SECTION 9.04 Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of an Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) other than as a matter of law following an event that is permitted in accordance with Section 6.03 of this Agreement, no Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Loan Party without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section (any attempted assignment or transfer not complying with the terms of this Section shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of an Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

- 162 -

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:

(A) the Company; provided that no consent of the Company shall be required if an Event of Default specified in paragraphs (a), (g) or (h) of Section 7.01 has occurred and is continuing;

(B) the Agent; and

(C) each Applicable Issuing Bank.

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth herein, any assignment of any Loans or Commitments to any Purchasing Debt Affiliate shall also be subject to the requirements of Section 9.04(f).

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

(A) except in the case of an assignment to another Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or the principal amount of Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agent and determined on an aggregate basis in the event of concurrent assignments to Related Funds (as defined below)) shall not be less than $1,000,000 unless each of the Company and the Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Company shall be required if an Event of Default specified in paragraphs (a), (g) or (h) of Section 7.01 has occurred and is continuing;

(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500;

(D) the assignee shall execute and deliver to the Agent an agreement to be a party and subject to, and accept the terms of, the allocation and exchange mechanism agreement among the Agent and the Lenders; and

The term “Related Funds” shall mean with respect to any Lender that is an Approved Fund, any other Approved Fund that is managed or advised by the same investment advisor as such Lender or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor.

(iv) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(v) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such

- 163 -

Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring on or prior to the effective date of such assignment). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

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

(vi) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire and tax forms required by Section 9.04(b)(iii)(D)(2) (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05, 2.06(d) or (e), 2.07(b), 2.18(c) or 9.03(c), the Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(vii) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Assumption, the assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and that its Commitment, and the outstanding balances of its Loans, in each case without giving effect to assignments thereof which have not become effective, are as set forth in such Assignment and Assumption, (ii) except as set forth in (i) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the financial condition of any Borrower or any Subsidiary or the performance or observance by any Borrower or any Subsidiary of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee represents and warrants that it is an Eligible Assignee, legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and

Assumption; (iv) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements referred to in Section 3.04(a) or delivered pursuant to Section 5.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Assumption; (v) such assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of any Borrower, the Borrower Agent, the Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrowers, the Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Swingline Lenders and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Company agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation, acting solely as a non-fiduciary agent (solely for tax purposes) of the Borrower, shall maintain a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Participants and principal amount (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and such Lender, each Loan Party and the Agent shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Company’s prior written consent. No Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 unless the Company is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 2.17(e) or (f), as applicable, as though it were a Lender.

(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

- 165 -

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Agent and the Borrower Agent, the option to provide to the Borrowers all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17), (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender) and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes including approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of the Loan Documents, remain the Lender of record hereunder. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.04, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrowers, the Borrower Agent and the Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Company and the Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

(f) Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Lender may assign all or a portion of its Commitments and/or Loans to any Purchasing Debt Affiliate in accordance with Section 9.04(f); provided that:

(i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing or would result therefrom; and

(ii) no Loan or Commitment may be assigned to a Purchasing Debt Affiliate pursuant to this Section 9.04(f), if after giving effect to such assignment, Purchasing Debt Affiliates in the aggregate would own in excess of 10% of all Commitments then outstanding.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Purchasing Debt Affiliate shall have any right to (A) attend (including by telephone) any meeting or discussions (or portion thereof) among the Agent or any Lender to which representatives of the Loan Parties are not invited, and (B) receive any information or material prepared by the Agent or any Lender or any communication by or among the Agent and/or one or more Lenders, except to the extent such information or materials have been made available to any Loan Party or its representatives (and in any case, other than the right to receive notices of prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Commitments and Loans required to be delivered to Lenders pursuant to Article II), or (C) make or bring (or participate in, other

- 166 -

than as a passive participant in or recipient of its pro rata benefits of) any claim, in its capacity as a Lender, against the Agent or any other Lender with respect to any duties or obligations or alleged duties or obligations of such Agent or any other such Lender under the Loan Documents.

(g) Notwithstanding anything in Section 9.04 or the definitions of “Required Lenders”, “Super Majority Lenders” or, “Tranche B Period Super Majority Lenders” or “Tranche C Period Super Majority Lenders” to the contrary, for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders, the Super Majority Lenders or, the Tranche B Period Super Majority Lenders or the Tranche C Period Super Majority Lenders or any other requisite Class vote required by this Agreement have (i) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, (ii) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document, or (iii) directed or required the Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, all Commitments held by any Purchasing Debt Affiliate shall be deemed to be not outstanding for all purposes of calculating whether the Required Lenders, the Super Majority Lenders or, the Tranche B Period Super Majority Lenders or the Tranche C Period Super Majority Lenders (or requisite vote of any Class of Lenders) have taken any actions.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, prior to the Tranche B Effective Date, no Lender shall assign or sell Participations in the Tranche B Commitments without the prior written consent of Borrowers.

SECTION 9.05 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans 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, an Issuing Bank, a Swingline Lender or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

SECTION 9.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreement with respect to fees payable to the Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Agent and when the Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

- 167 -

SECTION 9.07 Severability. To the extent permitted by law, any provision of any Loan Document 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 thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 9.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Applicable Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Applicable Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower within the applicable Borrower Group or any Applicable Guarantor of the Applicable Guaranteed Obligations with respect to such Borrower Group against any of and all the Secured Obligations held by such Applicable Lender with respect to such Borrower Group, irrespective of whether or not such Applicable Lender shall have made any demand under the Loan Documents and although such obligations may be unmatured. The Applicable Lender shall notify the Borrower Agent and the Agent of such set-off or application, provided that any failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such set-off or application under this Section. The rights of each Applicable Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Applicable Lender may have.

NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, AT ANY TIME THAT ANY OF THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS SHALL BE SECURED BY REAL PROPERTY LOCATED IN CALIFORNIA, NO LENDER SHALL EXERCISE A RIGHT OF SETOFF, LENDER’S LIEN OR COUNTERCLAIM OR TAKE ANY COURT OR ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION OR INSTITUTE ANY PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY LOAN DOCUMENT UNLESS IT IS TAKEN WITH THE CONSENT OF THE LENDERS REQUIRED BY SECTION 9.02 OF THIS AGREEMENT, IF SUCH SETOFF OR ACTION OR PROCEEDING WOULD OR MIGHT (PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 580a, 580b, 580d AND 726 OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE OR SECTION 2924 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE, IF APPLICABLE, OR OTHERWISE) AFFECT OR IMPAIR THE VALIDITY, PRIORITY, OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THE LIENS GRANTED TO AGENT PURSUANT TO THE COLLATERAL DOCUMENTS OR THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THE OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, AND ANY ATTEMPTED EXERCISE BY ANY LENDER OR ANY SUCH RIGHT WITHOUT OBTAINING SUCH CONSENT OF THE PARTIES AS REQUIRED ABOVE, SHALL BE NULL AND VOID. THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL BE SOLELY FOR THE BENEFIT OF EACH OF THE LENDERS.

SECTION 9.11 Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 9.12 Confidentiality. Each of the Agent, each Issuing Bank and the each Lender (the “Subject Persons”) agrees (and each Lender agrees to cause its SPC, if any) to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) pursuant to the order of any court or administrative agency or in any pending legal, judicial or administrative proceeding, or otherwise as required by applicable law or compulsory legal process based on the advice of counsel (in which case each Subject Person agrees (except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any governmental bank regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority), to the extent practicable and not prohibited by applicable law, to inform the Company promptly thereof prior to disclosure), (b) upon the request or demand of any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Subject Person or any of its Affiliates (in which case such Subject Person agrees (except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any governmental bank regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority) to the extent practicable and not prohibited by applicable law, to inform the Company promptly thereof prior to disclosure), (c) to the extent that such information becomes publicly available other than by reason of improper disclosure by a Subject Person or any of its Affiliates or any Related Parties thereto in violation of this Agreement or any other confidentiality obligations owing to the Company or its Related Parties, (d) to the extent that such information is received by a Subject Person from a third party that is not, to such Subject Person’s knowledge, subject to contractual or fiduciary confidentiality obligations owing to the Company or any of its Related Parties, (e) to the extent that such information is independently developed by such Subject Person, (f) to the Subject Persons’ Affiliates and to its and their respective employees, legal counsel, independent auditors, professionals and other experts or agents who need to know such information in connection with this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Transactions and, the RTD Transactions and the Hercules Transactions (including in connection with

SECTION 9.13 Several Obligations; Nonreliance; Violation of Law. The respective obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and the failure of any Lender to make any Loan or perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.

- 170 -

SECTION 9.17 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at, with respect to a U.S. Revolving Loan or a Tranche B Loan, the Federal Funds Effective Rate, or, with respect to a Canadian Revolving Loan or a Tranche C Loan, the Canadian Overnight Rate, in each case, to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

(a) The provisions of the Loan Documents are cumulative. The parties acknowledge that the Loan Documents may use several limitations, tests or measurements to regulate similar matters, and they agree that these are cumulative and that each must be performed as provided. Except as otherwise provided in another Loan Document (by specific reference to the applicable provision of this Agreement), if any provision contained herein is in direct conflict with any provision in another Loan Document (other than the Intercreditor Agreement with respect to U.S. Collateral), the provision herein shall govern and control.

(b) All rights, benefits, interests, duties, liabilities and obligations of the parties to the Collateral Documents and the agreements, documents and instruments executed and delivered in connection therewith are hereby confirmed, renewed, affirmed and continued hereby. Without limitation of the foregoing, all security interests, pledges, assignments and other Liens previously granted by any Guarantor, as a grantor, pursuant to the Collateral Documents are hereby confirmed, renewed, affirmed and continued, and all such security interests, pledges, assignments and other Liens shall remain in full force and effect as security for all Secured Obligations with no change in the priority applicable thereto, in each case, subject only to Liens permitted under the Loan Documents, to the extent provided therein.

(c) This affirmation under this Section 9.19 does not extinguish the indebtedness or liabilities outstanding in connection with the Existing Credit Agreement, the Loan Guaranty or the Collateral Documents, nor does it constitute a novation with respect thereto; rather, such indebtedness and liabilities have been redenominated, as set forth herein.

(d) Each reference in the Loan Guaranty and each Collateral Document to the “Credit Agreement” shall mean and be a reference to this Agreement, and each reference to any other term defined in the Existing Credit Agreement shall be a reference to such term as amended by the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

(e) Each Loan Guarantor acknowledges and stipulates that the Loan Guaranty, the Collateral Documents and each other Loan Document (including, without limitation, in each reference herein to the Loan Documents), each Banking Services agreement and each Swap Agreement in respect of Secured Swap Obligations executed by such Loan Guarantor are legal, valid and binding obligations of such Loan Guarantor that are enforceable against such Loan Guarantor in accordance with the terms thereof, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium, or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity, as set forth in such Loan Documents, and the security interests and Liens granted under Collateral Documents and each other Loan Document by such Loan Guarantor in favor of the Agent, for the benefit of the applicable Secured Parties, are and continue to be, duly perfected, security interests and Liens (having the Lien priority set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement with respect to the U.S. Collateral), in each case, to the full extent provided by the terms of the Collateral Documents and each other Loan Document and subject only to Liens permitted under the Loan Documents, to the extent provided therein.

SECTION 9.20 INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. REFERENCE IS MADE TO THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT. EACH LENDER HEREUNDER (A) CONSENTS TO THE SUBORDINATION OF LIENS PROVIDED FOR IN THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT WITH RESPECT TO U.S. COLLATERAL THAT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE ABL FIRST LIEN COLLATERAL, (B) AGREES THAT IT WILL BE BOUND BY AND WILL TAKE NO ACTIONS CONTRARY TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR

- 172 -

AGREEMENT AND (C) AUTHORIZES AND INSTRUCTS THE AGENT TO ENTER INTO THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AS ABL AGENT AND ON BEHALF OF SUCH LENDER. THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS ARE INTENDED AS AN INDUCEMENT TO THE LENDERS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT TO EXTEND CREDIT TO BORROWERS AND SUCH LENDERS ARE INTENDED THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES OF SUCH PROVISIONS AND THE PROVISIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT.

SECTION 9.21 Judgment Currency. If, for the purpose of obtaining a judgment in any court or obtaining an order enforcing a judgment, it becomes necessary to convert any amount due under this Agreement in Dollars or in any other currency (hereinafter in this Section 9.21 called the “first currency”) into any other currency (hereinafter in this Section 9.21 called the “second currency”), then the conversion shall be made at the prevailing Exchange Rate for buying the first currency with the second currency at the Agent’s close of business on the Business Day next preceding the day on which the judgment is given or (as the case may be) the order is made. Any payment made by a Borrower within a Borrower Group to the Agent, any Applicable Lender, any Applicable Issuing Bank or any Applicable Swingline Lender pursuant to this Agreement in the second currency shall constitute a discharge of the obligations of the Borrowers within such Borrower Group only to the extent of the amount of the first currency which the Agent, such Applicable Lender, such Applicable Issuing Bank or such Applicable Swingline Lender is able, on the date of the receipt by it of such payment in any second currency, to purchase, in accordance with the Agent, such Applicable Lender, such Applicable Issuing Bank or such Applicable Swingline Lender’s normal banking procedures, with the amount of such second currency so received. If the amount of the first currency purchased pursuant to the preceding sentence falls short of the amount originally due to the Agent, such Applicable Lender, such Applicable Issuing Bank or such Swingline Lender in the first currency under this Agreement, the Borrowers within such Borrower Group agree that they will indemnify the Agent, each Applicable Lender, each Applicable Issuing Bank and each Applicable Swingline Lender against and hold the Agent, each Applicable Lender, each Applicable Issuing Bank and each Applicable Swingline Lender harmless from any shortfall so arising. This indemnity shall constitute an obligation of each such Borrower separate and independent from the other obligations contained in this Agreement, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order for a liquidated sum or sums in respect of amounts due to the Agent, any Applicable Lender, any Applicable Issuing Bank or any Applicable Swingline Lender under any Loan Documents or under any such judgment or order. Any such shortfall shall be deemed to constitute a loss suffered by the Agent, such Applicable Lender, such Applicable Issuing Bank or such Applicable Swingline Lender. If the amount of the first currency exceeds the amount originally due to the Agent, any Applicable Lender, any Applicable Issuing Bank or any Applicable Swingline Lender in the first currency under this Agreement, the Agent, such Applicable Lender, such Applicable Issuing Bank or such Applicable Swingline Lender shall promptly remit such excess to the Borrowers within the applicable Borrower Group. The covenants contained in this Section 9.21 shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and termination of the Commitments under this Agreement.

SECTION 9.22 Canadian Anti-Money Laundering Legislation. If the Agent has ascertained the identity of any Canadian Loan Party or any authorized signatories of any Canadian Loan Party for the purposes of the Proceeds of Crime Act and other applicable anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financing, economic or trade sanctions and “know your client” policies, regulations, laws or rules (the Proceeds of Crime Act and such other applicable policies, regulations, laws or rules, collectively, including any guidelines or orders thereunder, “AML Legislation”), then the Agent shall be deemed to have done so as an agent for each Canadian Revolving Lender and Tranche C Lender, and this Agreement shall constitute a “written agreement” in such regard between each Canadian Revolving Lender and Tranche C Lender, on the one hand, and the Agent, on the other hand, within the meaning of the applicable AML Legislation; and shall provide to each Canadian Revolving Lender and Tranche C Lender copies of all information obtained in such regard without any representation or warranty as to its accuracy or completeness.

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence and except as may otherwise be agreed in writing, each of the Canadian Revolving Lenders and Tranche C Lenders agrees that Agent has no obligation to ascertain the identity of the Canadian Loan Parties or any authorized signatories of the Canadian Loan Parties on behalf of any Canadian Revolving Lender or Tranche C Lender, or to confirm the completeness or accuracy of any information it obtains from any Canadian Loan Party or any such authorized signatory in doing so.

ARTICLE X.

LOAN GUARANTY

SECTION 10.01 Guaranty. Each Canadian Obligations Guarantor hereby agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, and absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the Agent, the Canadian Revolving Lenders, the Tranche C Lenders and the other applicable Secured Parties the prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Canadian Obligations (the “Canadian Guaranteed Obligations”) and each U.S. Guarantor hereby agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, and absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties the prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Canadian Guaranteed Obligations and the U.S. Obligations (collectively, the “U.S. Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Applicable Guarantor further agrees that the Applicable Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed in whole or in part without notice to or further assent from it, and that it remains bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any such extension or renewal.

SECTION 10.02 Guaranty of Payment. This Loan Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. Each Applicable Guarantor waives any right to require the Agent, any Applicable Issuing Bank, any Applicable Swingline Lender or any Applicable Lender to sue any Borrower, any Applicable Guarantor, any other guarantor, or any other Person obligated for all or any part of the Applicable Guaranteed Obligations (with respect to any Applicable Guaranteed Obligations, each an “Applicable Obligated Party”), or otherwise to enforce its payment against any collateral securing all or any part of the Applicable Guaranteed Obligations and waives the benefits of division and discussion.

- 174 -

SECTION 10.03 No Discharge or Diminishment of Loan Guaranty. (a) Except as otherwise provided for herein, the obligations of each Applicable Guarantor hereunder are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than as expressly provided in Section 10.11), including: (i) any claim of waiver, release, extension, renewal, settlement, surrender, alteration, or compromise of any of the Applicable Guaranteed Obligations, by operation of law or otherwise; (ii) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of any Borrower within the applicable Borrower Group or any other guarantor of or other Person liable for any of the Applicable Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, arrangement, winding up reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Applicable Obligated Party, or their assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Applicable Obligated Party; or (iv) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which any Applicable Guarantor may have at any time against any Applicable Obligated Party, the Agent, any Applicable Issuing Bank, any Applicable Swingline Lender, any Applicable Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or in any unrelated transactions.

(b) The obligations of each Applicable Guarantor hereunder are not subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any of the Applicable Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise, or any provision of applicable law or Regulation purporting to prohibit payment by any Applicable Obligated Party, of the Applicable Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof.

(c) Further, the obligations of any Applicable Guarantor hereunder are not discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by: (i) the failure of the Agent, any Applicable Issuing Bank, any Applicable Swingline Lender or any Applicable Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy with respect to all or any part of the Applicable Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any waiver or modification of or supplement to any provision of any agreement relating to the Applicable Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any release, non-perfection, or invalidity of any indirect or direct security for the obligations of each Borrower within the applicable Borrower Group for all or any part of the Applicable Guaranteed Obligations or any obligations of any other guarantor of or other Person liable for any of the Applicable Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) any action or failure to act by the Agent, any Applicable Issuing Bank, any Applicable Swingline Lender or any Applicable Lender with respect to any collateral securing any part of the Applicable Guaranteed Obligations; or (v) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the payment or performance of any of the Applicable Guaranteed Obligations, or any other circumstance, act, omission or delay that might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Applicable Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Applicable Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than as expressly provided in Section 10.11).

SECTION 10.04 Defenses Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Applicable Guarantor hereby waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Borrower within the applicable Borrower Group or any Applicable Guarantor or the unenforceability of all or any part of the Applicable Guaranteed Obligations from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Borrower within the applicable Borrower Group or any Applicable Guarantor, other than the termination of an Applicable Guarantor’s obligations hereunder as expressly provided in Section 10.11. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Applicable Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against any Applicable Obligated Party, or any other Person. The Agent may, at its election, foreclose on any Collateral held by it by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of

- 175 -

any such Collateral in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise act or fail to act with respect to any collateral securing all or a part of the Applicable Guaranteed Obligations, compromise or adjust any part of the Applicable Guaranteed Obligations, make any other accommodation with any Applicable Obligated Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to it against any Applicable Obligated Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of such Applicable Guarantor under this Loan Guaranty except to the extent the Applicable Guaranteed Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly paid in cash. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Applicable Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though that election may operate, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Applicable Guarantor against any Applicable Obligated Party or any security.

SECTION 10.05 Rights of Subrogation. No Applicable Guarantor will assert any right, claim or cause of action, including, without limitation, a claim of subrogation, contribution or indemnification that it has against any Applicable Obligated Party, or any collateral, until the Loan Parties, the Canadian Obligations Guarantors and the U.S. Guarantors have fully performed all their obligations to the Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Swingline Lenders and the Lenders, including without limitation payment in full of all of the Obligations and termination of the Commitments.

SECTION 10.06 Reinstatement; Stay of Acceleration. If at any time any payment of any portion of the Applicable Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, arrangement or reorganization of any Borrower within the applicable Borrower Group or otherwise, each Applicable Guarantor’s obligations under this Loan Guaranty with respect to that payment shall be reinstated at such time as though the payment had not been made. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Applicable Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, arrangement or reorganization of any Borrower within the applicable Borrower Group, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of any agreement relating to the Applicable Guaranteed Obligations shall nonetheless be payable by the Applicable Guarantors forthwith on demand by the Agent, the Applicable Lender or the other applicable Secured Party.

SECTION 10.07 Information. Each Applicable Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of each Borrower’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that each Applicable Guarantor assumes and incurs under this Loan Guaranty, and agrees that none of the Agent, any Applicable Issuing Bank, any Applicable Swingline Lender or any Applicable Lender shall have any duty to advise any Applicable Guarantor of information known to it regarding those circumstances or risks.

SECTION 10.08 Maximum Liability. The provisions of this Loan Guaranty are severable, and in any action or proceeding involving any state, Canadian federal or provincial corporate law, or any state, provincial, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Applicable Guarantor under this Loan Guaranty would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of such Applicable Guarantor’s liability under this Loan Guaranty, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Loan Guaranty to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the Applicable Guarantors or the applicable Secured Parties, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding (such highest amount determined hereunder being the relevant Applicable Guarantor’s “Maximum Liability”). This Section 10.08 with respect to the Maximum Liability of each Applicable Guarantor is intended solely to preserve the rights of the applicable Secured Parties to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable law, and no Applicable Guarantor nor any

- 176 -

other Person or entity shall have any right or claim under this Section with respect to such Maximum Liability, except to the extent necessary so that the obligations of any Applicable Guarantor hereunder shall not be rendered voidable under applicable law. Each Applicable Guarantor agrees that the Applicable Guaranteed Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the Maximum Liability of each Applicable Guarantor without impairing this Loan Guaranty or affecting the rights and remedies of the applicable Secured Parties hereunder, provided that nothing in this sentence shall be construed to increase any Applicable Guarantor’s obligations hereunder beyond its Maximum Liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement (including any provisions of this Article X to the contrary) shall limit the liability of the Borrowers within each Borrower Group in respect of all of the Obligations of such Borrowers under the Loan Documents.

SECTION 10.09 Contribution.

(a) In the event any Canadian Obligations Guarantor (a “Canadian Obligations Paying Guarantor”) shall make any payment or payments under this Loan Guaranty in respect of the Canadian Obligations or shall suffer any loss as a result of any realization upon any collateral granted by it to secure its obligations under this Loan Guaranty, each other Canadian Obligations Guarantor (each a “Canadian Obligations Non-Paying Guarantor”) shall contribute to such Canadian Obligations Paying Guarantor an amount equal to such Canadian Obligations Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Canadian Obligations Guarantor Percentage” of such payment or payments made, or losses suffered, by such Canadian Obligations Paying Guarantor. For purposes of this Article X, each Canadian Obligations Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Canadian Obligations Guarantor Percentage” with respect to any such payment or loss by a Canadian Obligations Paying Guarantor shall be determined as of the date on which such payment or loss was made by reference to the ratio of (i) such Canadian Obligations Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder) or, if such Canadian Obligations Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability has not been determined, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Canadian Obligations Non-Paying Guarantor from a Canadian Borrower after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means) to (ii) the aggregate Maximum Liability of all Canadian Obligations Guarantors hereunder (including such Canadian Obligations Paying Guarantor) as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder), or to the extent that a Maximum Liability has not been determined for any Canadian Obligations Guarantor, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Canadian Obligations Guarantors from a Canadian Borrower after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means). Nothing in this provision shall affect any Canadian Obligations Guarantor’s several liability for the entire amount of the Canadian Guaranteed Obligations (up to such Canadian Obligations Guarantor’s Maximum Liability). Each of the Canadian Obligations Guarantors covenants and agrees that its right to receive any contribution under this Loan Guaranty from a Canadian Obligations Non-Paying Guarantor shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the termination of a Canadian Obligations Guarantor’s obligations hereunder as expressly provided in Section 10.11. This provision is for the benefit of all of the Agent, the Canadian Issuing Banks, the Canadian Swingline Lenders, the Canadian Revolving Lenders, the Tranche C Lenders, the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties and may be enforced by any one, or more, or all of them in accordance with the terms hereof.

(b) In the event any U.S. Guarantor (a “U.S. Paying Guarantor”) shall make any payment or payments under this Loan Guaranty in respect of the U.S. Obligations or shall suffer any loss as a result of any realization upon any collateral granted by it to secure its obligations under this Loan Guaranty, each other U.S. Guarantor (each a “U.S. Non-Paying Guarantor”) shall contribute to such U.S. Paying Guarantor an amount equal to such U.S. Non-Paying Guarantor’s “U.S. Guarantor Percentage” of such payment or payments made, or losses suffered, by such U.S. Paying Guarantor. For purposes of this Article X, each U.S. Non-Paying Guarantor’s “U.S. Guarantor Percentage” with respect to any such

- 177 -

payment or loss by a U.S. Paying Guarantor shall be determined as of the date on which such payment or loss was made by reference to the ratio of (i) such U.S. Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder) or, if such U.S. Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability has not been determined, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such U.S. Non-Paying Guarantor from any U.S. Borrower after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means) to (ii) the aggregate Maximum Liability of all U.S. Guarantors hereunder (including such U.S. Paying Guarantor) as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder), or to the extent that a Maximum Liability has not been determined for any U.S. Guarantor, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such U.S. Guarantors from any U.S. Borrower after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means). Nothing in this provision shall affect any U.S. Guarantor’s several liability for the entire amount of the U.S. Guaranteed Obligations (up to such U.S. Guarantor’s Maximum Liability). Each of the U.S. Guarantors covenants and agrees that its right to receive any contribution under this Loan Guaranty from a U.S. Non-Paying Guarantor shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the termination of a U.S. Guarantor’s obligations hereunder as expressly provided in Section 10.11. This provision is for the benefit of all of the Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Swingline Lenders, the Lenders, the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties and may be enforced by any one, or more, or all of them in accordance with the terms hereof.

SECTION 10.10 Liability Cumulative. The liability of each applicable Loan Party as an Applicable Guarantor under this Article X is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each such Loan Party to the Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Swingline Lenders and the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Loan Party is a party or in respect of any obligations or liabilities of the other Loan Parties, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary.

SECTION 10.11 Termination; Release of Guarantors and Borrowers. The Loan Guaranty of all Applicable Guarantors shall terminate on the Termination Date. Notwithstanding anything in Section 9.02(b) to the contrary (i) an Applicable Guarantor or a Borrower that is a Subsidiary shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder and its Loan Guaranty and obligations as a Borrower shall be automatically released upon the consummation of any transaction permitted hereunder as a result of which such Guarantor or Borrower ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Company and (ii) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (A) if an Applicable Guarantor or Borrower is or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary, then such Applicable Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations hereunder and its Loan Guaranty and obligations as a Borrower shall be automatically released upon notification thereof from the Borrower Agent to the Agent. In connection with any such release, the Agent shall execute and deliver to any Applicable Guarantor or Borrower that is a Subsidiary, at such Applicable Guarantor’s or Borrower’s expense, all documents that such Applicable Guarantor or Borrower shall reasonably request to evidence termination or release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to the preceding sentence of this Section 10.11 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Agent.

$[             ]	New York, New York
	[—], 20[—]

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, TRICAN TIRE DISTRIBUTORS INC. / DISTRIBUTEURS DE PNEUS TRICAN INC., a corporation organized under the laws of Canada, and and certain Canadian Subsidiaries that are borrowers pursuant to Section 5.11(a) of the Credit Agreement (collectively, the “Canadian Borrowers”), hereby unconditionally and jointly and severally promise to pay to [            ] (the “Tranche C Lender”) or its registered assigns, at the office of Bank of America, N.A. (the “Agent”) at 300 Galleria Parkway, Suite 800, Atlanta, Georgia 30339, on the dates and in the amounts set forth in the Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of November 30, 2012 (as the same may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among American Tire Distributors, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), American Tire Distributors Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”), Trican Tire Distributors Inc. / Distributeurs de Pneus Trican Inc., a corporation incorporated under the laws of Canada, each subsidiary of the Company from time to time party thereto, the Lenders parties thereto, and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent for the Lenders thereunder (the “Agent”), in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Tranche C Loans made by the Tranche C Lender to the Canadian Borrowers pursuant to the Credit Agreement and unconditionally and jointly and severally promise to pay interest from the date of such Tranche C Loans on the principal amount thereof from time to time outstanding, in like funds, at said office, at the rate or rates per annum and payable on the dates provided in the Credit Agreement. Terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement.

Principal of and interest on this promissory note from time to time outstanding shall be due and payable as provided in the Credit Agreement. This promissory note is issued pursuant to and evidences Tranche C Loans under the Credit Agreement, to which reference is made for a statement of the rights and obligations of the Tranche C Lender and the duties and obligations of the Canadian Borrowers. The Credit Agreement contains provisions for acceleration of the maturity of this promissory note upon the happening of certain stated events, and for the borrowing, prepayment and reborrowing of amounts upon specified terms and conditions.

The holder of this promissory note is hereby authorized by the Canadian Borrowers to record on a schedule annexed to this promissory note (or on a supplemental schedule) the amounts owing with respect to Tranche C Loans, and the payment thereof. Failure to make any notation, however, shall not affect the rights of the holder of this promissory note or any obligations of the Canadian Borrowers hereunder or under any other Loan Documents.

Time is of the essence of this promissory note. Each Canadian Borrower and all endorsers, sureties and guarantors of this promissory note hereby severally waive demand, presentment for payment, protest, notice of protest, notice of intention to accelerate the maturity of this promissory note, diligence in collecting, the bringing of any suit against any party, and any notice of or defense on account of any extensions, renewals, partial payments, or changes in any manner of or in this promissory note or in any of its terms, provisions and covenants, or any releases or substitutions of any security, or any delay, indulgence or other act of any trustee or any holder hereof, whether before or after maturity. The Canadian Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay, and to save the holder of this promissory note harmless against, any liability for the payment of all costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) if this promissory note is collected by or through an attorney-at-law.

In no contingency or event whatsoever shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to the holder of this promissory note for the use, forbearance or detention of money advanced hereunder exceed the highest lawful rate permitted under applicable law. If any such excess amount is inadvertently paid by the Canadian Borrowers or inadvertently received by the holder of this promissory note, such excess shall be returned to the Canadian Borrowers or credited as a payment of principal, in accordance with the Credit Agreement. It is the intent hereof that the Canadian Borrowers not pay or contract to pay, and that holder of this promissory note not receive or contract to receive, directly or indirectly in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be paid by the Canadian Borrowers under applicable law.

THIS PROMISSORY NOTE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Revolving credit facility, covenant description										The ABL Facility and FILO Facility contain customary covenants, including covenants that restricts the Company’s ability to incur additional debt, grant liens, enter into guarantees, enter into certain mergers, make certain loans and investments, dispose of assets, prepay certain debt, declare dividends, modify certain material agreements, enter into transactions with affiliates or change the Company’s fiscal year. The terms of the ABL Facility and FILO Facility generally restrict distributions or the payment of dividends in respect of the Company’s stock subject to certain exceptions requiring compliance with certain availability levels and fixed charge coverage ratios under the ABL Facility and other customary negotiated exceptions. As of July 5, 2014, the Company was in compliance with these covenants. If the amount available for additional borrowings under the ABL Facility is less than the greater of (a) 10.0% of the lesser of (x) the aggregate commitments under the ABL Facility and (y) the aggregate borrowing base and (b) $25.0 million, then the Company would be subject to an additional covenant requiring them to meet a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0. As of July 5, 2014, the Company’s additional borrowing availability under the ABL Facility was above the required amount and the Company was therefore not subject to the additional covenants.

Subsidiary Guarantor Financial Information

18. Subsidiary Guarantor Financial Information:

ATDI is the issuer of $425.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Senior Subordinated Notes. The Senior Subordinated Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by Holdings, Am-Pac, Tire Wholesalers, Inc. (“Tire Wholesalers”), Terry’s Tire and by the U.S. operations of Hercules. ATDI is a direct 100% owned subsidiary of Holdings andAm-Pac, Tire Wholesales, Terry’s Tire and Hercules are indirect 100% owned subsidiaries of Holdings. None of the Company’s other subsidiaries guarantees the Senior Subordinated Notes. The guarantees can be released in certain customary circumstances.

In accordance with Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X, the following presents condensed consolidating financial information for:

• Holdings, under the column heading “Parent Company”;

• ATDI, under the column heading “Subsidiary Issuer”;

• Am-Pac, Tire Wholesalers, Terry’s Tire and Hercules’ U.S. subsidiary, on a combined basis, under the column heading “Guarantor Subsidiaries”; and

• The Company’s other subsidiaries, on a combined basis, under the column heading “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”;

• Consolidating entries and eliminations, under the column heading “Eliminations”; and

• Holdings, ATDI and their subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, under the column heading “Consolidated.”

At the beginning of fiscal 2014, the Company merged a subsidiary that previously was a non-guarantor of the Senior Subordinated Notes, Tire Distributors, Inc., into ATDI. As a result of this merger, the consolidating balance sheet as of December 28, 2013 has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the post-merger legal entity structure. Terry’s Tire and Hercules’ U.S. subsidiary became guarantors of the Senior Subordinated Notes in the first quarter of 2014.

Basis of Presentation

2. Basis of Presentation:

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the consolidated operations of the Company and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) as defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) within the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the consolidated unaudited results for the interim periods presented. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in Holdings Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2013.

The Company’s fiscal year is based on either a 52- or 53-week period ending on the Saturday closest to each December 31. Therefore, the financial results of 53-week fiscal years, and the associated 14-week quarter, will not be comparable to the prior and subsequent 52-week fiscal years and the associated quarters having only 13 weeks. The quarters ended July 5, 2014 and June 29, 2013 each contain operating results for 13 weeks. The six months ended July 5, 2014 contains 27 weeks while the six months ended June 29, 2013 contains 26 weeks. It should be noted that the Company and its recently acquired subsidiaries, Hercules, Terry’s Tire, Trail Tire, Extreme Wheel, Kirks Tire, RTD Edmonton and RTD Calgary, all as defined below, have different quarter-end reporting dates. Each of these acquired subsidiaries has a June 30 quarter-end reporting date. There were no significant changes to the business subsequent to their fiscal period ends that would have a material impact on the condensed consolidated balance sheet or condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss) as of and for the quarter and six months ended July 5, 2014.

On May 28, 2010, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 20, 2010, the Company was acquired by TPG Capital, L.P. and certain co-investors (the “TPG Merger”). Under the guidance provided by the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5J, “New Basis of Accounting Required in Certain Circumstances,” push-down accounting is required when such transactions result in an entity being substantially wholly-owned. Under push-down accounting, certain transactions incurred by the buyer, which would otherwise be accounted for in the accounts of the parent, are “pushed down” and recorded on the financial statements of the subsidiary. Therefore, the basis in shares of the Company’s common stock has been pushed down from the buyer to the Company.

Commitments and Contingencies

15. Commitments and Contingencies:

The Company is involved from time to time in various lawsuits, including class action lawsuits as well as various audits and reviews regarding its federal, state and local tax filings, arising out of the ordinary conduct of its business. Management does not expect that any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business or financial condition. As to tax filings, the Company believes that the various tax filings have been made in a timely fashion and in accordance with applicable federal, state and local tax code requirements. Additionally, the Company believes that it has adequately provided for any reasonably foreseeable resolution of any tax disputes, but will adjust its reserves if events so dictate in accordance with FASB authoritative guidance. To the extent that the ultimate results differ from the original or adjusted estimates of the Company, the effect will be recorded in accordance with the accounting standards for income taxes.

Guaranteed Lease Obligations

The Company remains liable as a guarantor on certain leases related to the Winston Tire Company, which was sold in 2001. As of July 5, 2014, the Company’s total obligations are $1.6 million extending over five years. However, the Company has secured assignments or sublease agreements for the vast majority of these commitments with contractual assigned or subleased rentals of $1.4 million. A provision has been made for the net present value of the estimated shortfall.

Derivative Instruments

10. Derivative Instruments:

In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to the risk associated with exposure to fluctuations in interest rates on our variable rate debt. These fluctuations can increase the cost of financing, investing and operating the business. The Company has used derivative financial instruments to help manage this risk and reduce the impacts of these exposures and not for trading or other speculative purposes. All derivatives are recognized on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at their fair value as either assets or liabilities. Changes in the fair value of contracts that qualify for hedge accounting treatment are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of taxes, and are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income (loss) at the time earnings are affected by the hedged transaction. For other derivatives, changes in the fair value of the contract are recognized immediately in net income (loss) in the statement of comprehensive income (loss).

On September 4, 2013, the Company entered into a spot interest rate swap and two forward-starting interest rate swaps (collectively the “3Q 2013 Swaps”) each of which are used to hedge a portion of the Company’s exposure to changes in its variable interest rate debt. The spot interest rate swap in place covers a notional amount of $100.0 million at a fixed interest rate of 1.145% and expires in September 2016. The forward-starting interest rate swaps in place cover an aggregate notional amount of $100.0 million, of which $50.0 million becomes effective in September 2014 at a fixed interest rate of 1.464% and will expire in September 2016 and $50.0 million becomes effective in September 2015 at a fixed interest rate of 1.942% and will expire in September 2016. The counterparty to each swap is a major financial institution. The 3Q 2013 Swaps do not meet the criteria to qualify for hedge accounting treatment; therefore, changes in the fair value of each contract is recognized in net income (loss) in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss).

On August 1, 2012, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements (“3Q 2012 Swaps”) used to hedge a portion of the Company’s exposure to changes in its variable interest rate debt. The swaps in place cover an aggregate notional amount of $100.0 million, with each $50.0 million contract having a fixed rate of 0.655% and expiring in June 2016. The counterparty to each swap is a major financial institution. The 3Q 2012 Swaps do not meet the criteria to qualify for hedge accounting treatment; therefore, changes in the fair value of each contract is recognized in net income (loss) in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss).

On September 23, 2011, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements (“3Q 2011 Swaps”) used to hedge a portion of the Company’s exposure to changes in its variable interest rate debt. The swaps in place cover an aggregate notional amount of $100.0 million, of which $50.0 million is at a fixed rate of 0.74% and will expire in September 2014 and $50.0 million is at a fixed rate of 1.0% and will expire in September 2015. The counterparty to each swap is a major financial institution. The 3Q 2011 Swaps do not meet the criteria to qualify for hedge accounting treatment; therefore, changes in the fair value of each contract is recognized in net income (loss) in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss).

On February 24, 2011, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements (“1Q 2011 Swaps”) used to hedge a portion of the Company’s exposure to changes in its variable interest rate debt. The swaps in place covered an aggregate notional amount of $75.0 million, of which $25.0 million was at a fixed interest rate of 0.585% and expired in February 2012. The remaining swap covered an aggregate notional amount of $50.0 million at a fixed interest rate of 1.105% and expired in February 2013. The counterparty to each swap was a major financial institution. Neither swap met the criteria to qualify for hedge accounting treatment; therefore, changes in the fair value of each contract were recognized in net income (loss) in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss).

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

11. Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

The accounting standard for fair value measurements establishes a framework for measuring fair value that is based on the inputs market participants use to determine the fair value of an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy to prioritize those inputs. The fair value hierarchy is comprised of three levels that are described below:

• Level 1 Inputs - Inputs based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

• Level 2 Inputs - Inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

• Level 3 Inputs - Unobservable inputs based on little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs are obtained from independent sources and can be validated by a third party, whereas unobservable inputs reflect assumptions regarding what a third party would use in pricing an asset or liability based on the best information available under the circumstances. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following table presents the fair value and hierarchy levels for the Company’s assets and liabilities, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of July 5, 2014:

	Fair Value Measurements
In thousands	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Assets:
Benefit trust assets	$	3,530	$	3,530	$	—	$	—
Total	$	3,530	$	3,530	$	—	$	—
Liabilities:

Derivative instruments		2,798		—		2,798		—
Total	$	18,798	$	—	$	2,798	$	16,000

ASC 820 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company determines fair value of its financial assets and liabilities using the following methodologies:

• Benefit trust assets – These assets include money market and mutual funds that are the underlying for deferred compensation plan assets, held in a rabbi trust. The fair value of the assets is based on observable market prices quoted in readily accessible and observable markets.

• Contingent consideration - As part of the preliminary purchase price allocation of Terry’s Tire and Hercules, the Company recorded $12.5 million and $3.5 million, respectively, in contingent consideration. The fair value was estimated using a discounted cash flow technique with significant inputs that are not observable, including discount rates and probability-weighted cash flows and represents management’s best estimate of the amounts to be paid. The contingent consideration includes $12.3 million related to the retention of certain key members of management as employees of the Company and $3.7 million related to securing the rights to continue to distribute certain tire brands previously distributed by Terry’s Tire and Hercules. The Company believes the probable outcome could range from approximately $8.0 million to $16.0 million. The recorded contingent consideration is included in Accrued Expenses in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of July 5, 2014.

• Derivative instruments - These instruments consist of interest rate swaps. The fair value is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments from a financial institution that is counterparty to the transaction.

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The methodologies used by the Company to determine the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities at July 5, 2014 are the same as those used at December 28, 2013. As a result, there have been no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 categories.

Inventories

5. Inventories:

Inventories consist primarily of automotive tires, custom wheels and accessories and tire supplies and tools. Reported amounts are valued at the lower of cost, determined on the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method, or fair market value. The Company performs periodic assessments to determine the existence of obsolete, slow-moving and non-saleable inventories and records necessary provisions to reduce such inventories to net realizable value. A majority of the Company’s tire vendors allow for the return of tire products, subject to certain limitations, specified in supply arrangements with the vendors. In addition, the Company’s inventory is collateral under the ABL Facility and the FILO Facility. See Note 9 for further information.

As a result of the TriCan acquisition in November 2012, the RTD, TDI and WTD acquisitions in fiscal 2013 and the 2014 Acquisitions, the carrying value of the acquired inventory was increased by $6.3 million, $2.7 million, $0.2 million, $0.5 million, and $34.4 million, respectively, to adjust to estimated fair value in accordance with the accounting guidance for business combinations. The step-up in inventory value for each acquisition was amortized into cost of goods sold over the period of the Company’s normal inventory turns, which approximates two months. Amortization of the inventory step-up included in cost of goods sold in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) for the quarter and six months ended July 5, 2014 was $12.5 million and $31.6 million, respectively, while amortization for the quarter and six months ended June 29, 2013 was $2.7 million and $4.9 million, respectively.

On June 27, 2014, TriCan entered into and closed an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “RTD Calgary Purchase Agreement”) with Regional Tire Distributors (Calgary) Inc. (“RTD Calgary”), a corporation formed under the laws of the Province of Alberta, and the shareholders and principals of RTD Calgary, pursuant to which TriCan agreed to acquire the wholesale distribution business of RTD Calgary. RTD Calgary is a wholesale distributor of tires, tire parts, tire accessories and related equipment. The acquisition of RTD Calgary will further strengthen TriCan’s presence in the Alberta Province of Canada and complements TriCan’s current operations in Canada.

The RTD Calgary acquisition closed for aggregate cash consideration of approximately $20.7 million (the “RTD Calgary Purchase Price”). The RTD Calgary Purchase Price was funded by borrowings under the Company’s existing ABL credit facility. The RTD Calgary Purchase Price is subject to certain post-closing adjustments, including, but not limited to, working capital adjustments.

On March 28, 2014, ATDI completed its acquisition of Terry’s Tire Town Holdings, Inc., an Ohio corporation (“Terry’s Tire” and such acquisition, the “Terry’s Tire Acquisition”). The Terry’s Tire Acquisition was completed pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) entered into on February 17, 2014 between ATDI and TTT Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation. Terry’s Tire and its subsidiaries are engaged in the business of purchasing, marketing, distributing and selling tires, wheels and related tire and wheel accessories on a wholesale basis to tire dealers, wholesale distributors, retail chains, automotive dealers and others, retreading tires and selling retread and other commercial tires through commercial outlets to end users and selling tires directly to consumers via the internet. Terry’s Tire operated 10 distribution centers spanning from Virginia to Maine and in Ohio. The acquisition of Terry’s Tire will enhance the Company’s market position in these areas and aligns very well with their distribution centers, especially the new distribution centers opened by the Company over the past two years in the Northeast and Ohio.

The Terry’s Tire acquisition closed for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $372.7 million (the “Terry’s Tire Purchase Price”), consisting of cash consideration of approximately $358.0 million, contingent consideration of $12.5 million and non-cash consideration for debt assumed of $2.2 million. The cash consideration paid for the Terry’s Tire Acquisition included estimated working capital adjustments and a portion of consideration contingent on certain events achieved prior to closing. During second quarter 2014, the Company finalized the post-closing working capital adjustments in accordance with the purchase agreement. This adjustment decreased the Terry’s Tire Purchase Price by $5.4 million to $372.7 million with a corresponding decrease to goodwill of $5.4 million. The Terry’s Tire Purchase Price was funded by a combination of borrowings under a new senior secured term loan facility, as more fully described in Note 9, and borrowings of approximately $72.5 million under Holdings’ existing U.S. ABL Facility. The Terry’s Tire Purchase Price is subject to certain post-closing adjustments, including but not limited to, working capital adjustments. Of the $358.0 million in cash consideration, $41.4 million is held in escrow pending the resolution of the post-closing adjustments and other escrow release conditions in accordance with the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement and escrow agreement.

On January 31, 2014, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated January 24, 2014 (the “Merger Agreement”), among ATD Merger Sub II LLC (“Merger Sub”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings, ATDI, Hercules Tire Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Hercules Holdings”), the equityholders of Hercules Holdings (each a “Seller” and, collectively the “Sellers”) and the Sellers’ Representative, Merger Sub merged with and into Hercules Holdings, with Hercules Holdings being the surviving entity (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, Hercules Holdings became an indirect 100% owned subsidiary of Holdings. Hercules Holdings owns all of the capital stock of The Hercules Tire & Rubber Company, a Connecticut corporation (“Hercules”). Hercules Holdings has no material assets or operations other than its ownership of Hercules. Hercules is engaged in the business of purchasing, marketing, distributing and selling after-market replacement tires for passenger cars, trucks, and certain off road vehicles to tire dealers, wholesale distributors, retail distributors and others in the United States, Canada and internationally. Hercules operated 15 distribution centers in the United States, 6 distribution centers in Canada and one warehouse in northern China. Hercules also markets the Hercules brand, which is one of the most sought-after proprietary tire brands in the industry. The acquisition of Hercules will strengthen the Company’s presence in major markets such as California, Texas and Florida in addition to increasing its presence in Canada. Additionally, Hercules’ strong logistics and sourcing capabilities, including a long-standing presence in China, will also allow the Company to capitalize on the growing import market, as well as, providing the ability to expand the international sales of the Hercules brand. Finally, this acquisition, will allow the Company to be a brand marketer of the Hercules brand which today has a 2% market share of the passenger and light truck market in North America and a 3% share of highway truck tires in North America.

The Merger closed for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $318.9 million (the “Hercules Closing Purchase Price”), consisting of net cash consideration of $310.0 million, contingent consideration of $3.5 million and non-cash consideration for debt assumed of $5.4 million. The Hercules Closing Purchase Price includes an estimate for initial working capital adjustments. During second quarter 2014, the Company finalized the post-closing working capital adjustments in accordance with the Merger Agreement. This adjustment decreased the Hercules Closing Purchase Price by $0.4 million to $318.9 million with a corresponding decrease to goodwill of $0.4 million. The Merger Agreement provides for the payment of up to $6.5 million in additional consideration contingent upon the occurrence of certain post-closing events (to the extent payable, the “Hercules Additional Purchase Price” and, collectively with the Hercules Closing Purchase Price, the “Hercules Purchase Price”). The cash consideration paid for the Merger was funded by a combination of the issuance of additional Senior Subordinated Notes, as more fully described in Note 9, an equity contribution of $50.0 million from Holdings’ indirect parent, as more fully described in Note 14 and borrowings under Holdings’ credit agreement, as more fully described in Note 9. The Hercules Closing Purchase Price is subject to certain post-closing adjustments, including, but not limited to, working capital adjustments.

On January 17, 2014, TriCan entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Kipling Tire Co. LTD., a corporation governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario (“Kipling”), pursuant to which TriCan agreed to acquire the wholesale distribution business of Kipling. Kipling has operated as a retail-wholesale business since 1982. Kipling’s wholesale business distributes tires from its Etobicoke facilities to approximately 400 retail customers in Southern Ontario. Kipling’s retail operations were not acquired by TriCan and will continue to operate under its current ownership. This acquisition will further strengthen TriCan’s presence in the Southern Ontario region of Canada. The acquisition was completed on January 17, 2014 and was funded through the Company’s Canadian ABL Facility. The Company does not believe the acquisition of Kipling is a material transaction subject to the disclosures and supplemental pro forma information required by ASC 805 – Business Combinations. As a result, the information is not presented.

The acquisitions of Trail Tire, Extreme, Kirks Tire, RTD Edmonton, RTD Calgary, Terry’s Tire and Hercules (collectively the “2014 Acquisitions”) were recorded using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with current accounting guidance for business combinations and non-controlling interest. As of the date of these financial statements, the Company is in the process of finalizing intangible asset valuations as well as continuing to evaluate the initial purchase price allocation for each of the 2014 Acquisitions with the exception of Hercules. Accordingly, management has used its best estimates in the allocation of the purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated preliminary fair market value of such assets and liabilities at the date of each acquisition. As additional information is obtained about these assets and liabilities within the measurement period, the Company expects to refine its estimates of fair value to allocate the purchase price for the 2014 Acquisitions, with the exception of Hercules, more accurately. As of July 5, 2014, the purchase price allocation for Hercules is final. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price for each of the 2014 Acquisitions is as follows:

In thousands	Terry’s Tire		Hercules		Trail Tire		Extreme		Kirks Tire		RTD Edmonton		RTD Calgary		Total

The excess of the purchase price over the amounts allocated to identifiable assets and liabilities is included in goodwill. The premium in the purchase price paid for the 2014 Acquisitions primarily reflects growth opportunities from expanding the Company’s distribution footprint into Western Canada and through the anticipated realization of operational and cost synergies. In addition, growth opportunities associated with the Hercules® brand also contributed to the premium in the purchase price paid for the Hercules acquisition.

Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable were stated at their historical carrying values, which approximate their fair value, given the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities. Inventory was recorded at fair value, based on computations which considered many factors including the estimated selling price of the inventory, the cost to dispose the inventory as well as the replacement cost of the inventory, where applicable.

The Company recorded intangible assets based on their estimated fair value which consisted of the following:

In thousands	Terry’s Tire		Hercules		Trail Tire		Extreme		Kirks Tire		RTD Edmonton		RTD Calgary		Total
Customer list (1)	$	185,776	$	147,216	$	14,703	$	4,369	$	52,818	$	23,286	$	13,556	$	441,724

(1) Estimated useful lives range from sixteen to eighteen years.

(2) Estimated useful life is fifteen years

(3) Estimated useful lives range from four to five years.

The Company utilized the excess earnings method, a derivation of the income approach, as well as the review of an independent third-party valuation report for certain acquisitions, to determine the fair value of the customer list intangible assets. The excess earnings method estimates the discounted net earnings attributable to the customer relationships that were acquired after considering items such as possible customer attrition. Based on the length and trend of projected cash flows, an estimated useful life of eighteen years was determined. The length of the projected cash flow period was determined by how quickly the customer relationships attrit based on the Company’s historical experience in renewing and extending similar customer relationships. As of the date of this report, the Company is in the process of obtaining third-party valuations for the fair value of the intangible assets acquired from Trail Tire, Extreme, Kirks Tire, RTD Edmonton and RTD Calgary. Accordingly, the preliminary allocation for these acquisitions reflects management’s best estimate of fair value using the excess earnings method.

As part of the acquisition of Terry’s Tire, the Company acquired Terry’s Tire’s commercial and retread businesses. As the Company’s core business does not include commercial and retread operations, the Company decided that it would divest of these businesses. As it is management’s intention to divest the commercial and retread businesses during fiscal 2014 and as all held for sale criteria has been met, the related assets, including the allocation of purchase price, and the related liabilities of the commercial and retread businesses are classified as held for sale within the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. As part of the preliminary purchase price allocation, the estimated fair value of the assets held for sale was $5.8 million, including $4.5 million in current assets, net property and equipment of $0.8 million and goodwill of $0.5 million. The estimated fair value of the liabilities held for sale was $0.3 million of which the entire amount related to current liabilities. As additional information is obtained about these assets and liabilities within the measurement period, the Company expects to refine its estimate of the fair values related to these assets and liabilities.

The 2014 Acquisitions contributed net sales of approximately $265.5 million to the Company for the six months ended July 5, 2014. Net loss contributed by the 2014 Acquisitions during the six months ended July 5, 2014 was approximately $25.9 million which included non-cash amortization of the inventory step-up of $31.6 million and non-cash amortization expense on acquired intangible assets of $11.5 million.

As a result, the information is not presented.

The acquisition of WTD was recorded using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the accounting guidance for business combinations and non-controlling interest. The purchase price has been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair market value of such assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition. A majority of the net assets acquired relate to a customer list intangible asset, which had an acquisition date fair value of $4.4 million. The excess of the purchase price over the amounts allocated to identifiable assets and liabilities is included in goodwill, and amounted to $1.2 million. The premium in the purchase price paid for the acquisition of WTD reflects the anticipated realization of operational and cost synergies.

On August 30, 2013, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Tire Distributors, Inc. (“TDI”) to acquire 100% of the outstanding capital stock of TDI. TDI operated one distribution center serving over 1,700 customers across Maryland and northeastern Virginia.

The Company does not believe the acquisition of TDI is a material transaction, individually or when aggregated with the other non-material acquisitions discussed herein, subject to the disclosures and supplemental pro forma information required by ASC 805 – Business Combinations. As a result, the information is not presented.

The acquisition of TDI was recorded using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the accounting guidance for business combinations and non-controlling interest.

The premium in the purchase price paid for the acquisition of TDI reflects the anticipated realization of operational and cost synergies.

On March 22, 2013, TriCan and ATDI entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Regional Tire Holdings Inc., a corporation formed under the laws of the Province of Ontario (“Holdco”), Regional Tire Distributors Inc. (“RTD”), a corporation formed under the laws of the Province of Ontario and a 100% owned subsidiary of Holdco, and the shareholders of Holdco, pursuant to which TriCan agreed to acquire from the shareholders of Holdco all of the issued and outstanding shares of Holdco for a purchase price of $62.5 million. Holdco has no significant assets or operations other than its ownership of RTD. The operations of RTD constitute the operations of Holdco. RTD is a wholesale distributor of tires, tire parts, tire accessories and related equipment in the Ontario and Atlantic provinces of Canada. The acquisition of RTD significantly expanded the Company’s presence in the Ontario and Atlantic Provinces of Canada and complemented the Company’s current operations in Canada.

The acquisition of RTD was completed on April 30, 2013 for aggregate cash consideration of approximately $64.9 million (the “Adjusted Purchase Price”) which includes initial working capital adjustments. The acquisition of RTD was funded by borrowings under the Company’s ABL Facility and FILO Facility, as more fully described in Note 9. The Adjusted Purchase Price was subject to certain post-closing adjustments, including, but not limited to, the finalization of working capital adjustments. Of the $64.9 million Adjusted Purchase Price, $6.3 million is held in escrow pending the resolution of the post-closing adjustments and other escrow release conditions in accordance with the terms of the purchase agreement and escrow agreement. During third quarter 2013, the Company and the shareholders of Holdco agreed on the post-closing working capital adjustments in accordance with the purchase agreement. This adjustment increased the Adjusted Purchase Price by $1.0 million to $65.9 million with a corresponding increase to goodwill of $1.0 million.

The acquisition of RTD was recorded using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with current accounting guidance for business combinations and non-controlling interest. As a result, the Adjusted Purchase Price has been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair market value of such assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition.

The premium in the purchase price paid for the acquisition of RTD primarily relates to growth opportunities from expanding the Company’s distribution footprint into Eastern Canada and through operating synergies available via the consolidation of certain distribution centers in Eastern Canada.

Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable were stated at their historical carrying values, which approximate their fair value, given the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities. Inventory was recorded at fair value, based on computation which considered many factors including the estimated selling price of the inventory, the cost to dispose the inventory as well as the replacement cost of the inventory, where applicable.

Stock-Based Compensation

6 Months Ended

Jul. 05, 2014

Stock-Based Compensation

12. Stock-Based Compensation:

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation awards in accordance with ASC 718 - Compensation, which requires a fair-value based method for measuring the value of stock-based compensation. Fair value is measured once at the date of grant and is not adjusted for subsequent changes. The Company’s stock-based compensation plans include programs for stock options and restricted stock awards.

Stock Options

In August 2010, the Company’s indirect parent company adopted a Management Equity Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”), pursuant to which the indirect parent company will grant options to selected employees and directors of the Company. The 2010 Plan, which includes both time-based and performance-based awards, was amended on April 28, 2014 by the board of directors of the Company’s indirect parent, ATD Corporation, to increase the maximum number of shares of common stock for which stock options may be granted under the 2010 Plan from 52.1 million to 54.4 million. In addition to the increase in the maximum number of shares, on April 28, 2014, the board of directors of ATD Corporation approved the issuance of stock options to certain members of management. The approved options are for the purchase of up to 4.5 million shares of common stock, have an exercise price of $1.50 per share and vest over a two-year vesting period. As of July 5, 2014, the Company has 0.3 million shares available for future incentive awards.

Changes in options outstanding under the 2010 Plan are as follows:

	Number of Shares		Weighted Average Exercise Price
Outstanding - December 28, 2013		49,516,503	$	1.02
Granted		4,528,833		1.50
Exercised		—		—
Cancelled		—		—
Outstanding - July 5, 2014		54,045,336	$	1.06
Exercisable - July 5, 2014		34,080,079	$	1.03

As of July 5, 2014, the aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and options exercisable was $23.7 million and $16.0 million, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value is based on the estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock of $1.50 as of July 5, 2014. The total fair value of shares vested during the six months ended July 5, 2014 was $6.3 million. No options were exercised during the six months ended July 5, 2014.

Options granted under the 2010 Plan expire no later than 10 years from the date of grant and vest based on the passage of time and/or the achievement of certain performance targets in equal installments over two, three or five years. The weighted-average remaining contractual term for options outstanding and exercisable at July 5, 2014 was 6.7 years and 6.5 years, respectively. The fair value of each of the Company’s time-based stock option awards is expensed on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the two, three or five-year vesting period of the options. However, for options granted with performance target requirements, compensation expense is recognized when it is probable that both the performance target will be achieved and the requisite service period is satisfied. At July 5, 2014, unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested options granted under the 2010 Plan totaled $8.7 million and the weighted-average period over which this expense will be recognized is 0.9 years.

The weighted average fair value of stock options granted during the six months ended July 5, 2014 and June 29, 2013 was $0.68 and $0.54 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following weighted average assumptions were used:

	Six Months Ended July 5, 2014			Six Months Ended June 29, 2013
Risk-free interest rate		1.73	%		1.38	%
Dividend yield		—			—
Expected life		5.8 years			6.0 years
Volatility		46.49	%		45.39	%

As the Company does not have sufficient historical volatility data for the Company’s own common stock, the stock price volatility utilized in the fair value calculation is based on the Company’s peer group in the industry in which it does business. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield-curve of a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bond on the date the award is granted with a maturity equal to the expected term of the award. Because the Company does not have relevant data available regarding the expected life of the award, the expected life is derived from the Simplified Method as allowed under SAB Topic 14.

Restricted Stock

In October 2010, the Company’s indirect parent company adopted the Non-Employee Director Restricted Stock Plan (the “2010 Restricted Stock Plan”), pursuant to which the indirect parent company will grant restricted stock to non-employee directors of the Company. These awards entitle the holder to receive one share of common stock for each restricted stock award granted. The 2010 Restricted Stock Plan provides that a maximum of 0.8 million shares of common stock of the indirect parent may be granted to non-employee directors of the Company, of which 0.2 million remain available at July 5, 2014 for future incentive awards. On April 28, 2014, the board of directors of ATD Corporation approved the issuance of restricted stock to the non-employee directors of the Company. The approved restricted stock awards were for the issuance of up to 0.1 million shares of common stock, have a grant date fair value of $1.50 per share and vest over a two-year vesting period.

The following table summarizes restricted stock activity under the 2010 Restricted Stock Plan for the six months ended July 5, 2014:

	Number of Shares			Weighted Average Exercise Price
Outstanding and unvested at December 28, 2013		87,719		$	1.14
Granted		133,333			1.50
Vested		(87,719	)		1.14
Cancelled		—			—
Outstanding and unvested at July 5, 2014		133,333		$	1.50

The fair value of each of the restricted stock awards is measured as the grant-date price of the common stock and is expensed on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the two-year vesting period. At July 5, 2014, unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested restricted stock awards granted under the 2010 Restricted Stock Plan totaled $0.2 million and the weighted-average period over which this expense will be recognized is 1.5 years.

Compensation Expense

Stock-based compensation expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses within the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss). The amount of compensation expense recognized during a period is based on the portion of the granted awards that are expected to vest. Ultimately, the total expense recognized over the vesting period will equal the fair value of the awards as of the grant date that actually vest. The following table summarizes the compensation expense recognized:

Intangible Assets

8. Intangible Assets:

Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested and reviewed annually for impairment during the fourth quarter or whenever there is a significant change in events or circumstances that indicate that the fair value of the asset may be less than the carrying amount of the asset. All other intangible assets with finite lives are being amortized on a straight-line or accelerated basis over periods ranging from one to nineteen years.

The following table sets forth the gross amount and accumulated amortization of the Company’s intangible assets at July 5, 2014 and December 28, 2013:

Assets Held for Sale

6. Assets Held for Sale:

In accordance with current accounting standards, the Company classifies assets as held for sale in the period in which all held for sale criteria is met. Assets held for sale are reported at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell and are no longer depreciated. During third quarter 2013, the Company classified a facility located in Georgia as held for sale. The facility was previously used as a distribution center within the Company’s operations until its activities were relocated to an expanded facility. During the quarter ended July 5, 2014, the Company received $0.4 million in cash for the sale of this facility.

As part of the Terry’s Tire acquisition, the Company acquired Terry’s Tire’s commercial and retread businesses. See Note 4 for additional information regarding this acquisition. As it is management’s intention to divest the commercial and retread businesses during fiscal 2014 and as all held for sale criteria has been met, the related assets and liabilities of the commercial and retread businesses are classified as held for sale within the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. As of July 5, 2014, the carrying value of the assets held for sale for these businesses was $5.5 million, including $4.2 million in current assets, net property and equipment of $0.8 million and goodwill of $0.5 million.

Goodwill

7. Goodwill:

The Company records as goodwill the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Once the final valuation has been performed for each acquisition, adjustments may be recorded. Goodwill is tested and reviewed annually for impairment during the fourth quarter or whenever there is a significant change in events or circumstances that indicate that the fair value of the asset may be less than the carrying amount of the asset.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill are as follows:

In thousands
Balance, December 28, 2013	$	504,333
Purchase accounting adjustments		128
Acquisitions		202,716
Currency translation		(1,043	)

At July 5, 2014, the Company has recorded goodwill of $706.1 million, of which approximately $125.7 million of net goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes in future periods. The balance primarily relates to the TPG Merger on May 28, 2010, in which $418.6 million was recorded as goodwill. The Company does not have any accumulated goodwill impairment losses.

On June 27, 2014, TriCan completed its acquisition of the wholesale distribution businesses of Trail Tire, Extreme, Kirks Tire, RTD Edmonton and RTD Calgary. The purchase price has been preliminarily allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair market value of such assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition. As a result, the Company recorded $0.9 million, $0.7 million, $9.0 million, $6.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively, as goodwill. See Note 4 for additional information.

On March 28, 2014, ATDI completed its acquisition of Terry’s Tire pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement entered into on February 17, 2014. The purchase price has been preliminarily allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair market value of such assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition. As a result, the Company recorded $111.5 million as goodwill. See Note 4 for additional information.

On January 31, 2014, the Company completed its acquisition of Hercules pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated January 24, 2014.

During second quarter 2014, the Company finalized the post-closing working capital adjustments in accordance with the Merger Agreement. This adjustment decreased goodwill by $0.4 million to $73.7 million at July 5, 2014. See Note 4 for additional information.

On December 13, 2013, TriCan entered into a share Purchase Agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of WTD. The acquisition was funded through cash on hand. The purchase price has been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimated fair market value of such assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition. During first quarter 2014, the Company finalized the post-closing working capital adjustments in accordance with the purchase agreement. This increased goodwill by $0.1 million to a total of $1.2 million at July 5, 2014. See Note 4 for additional information.

The fair value of the Senior Subordinated Notes was $431.5 million at July 5, 2014 and $212.0 million at December 28, 2013 and was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis with significant inputs that are not observable (Level 3) as there are no quoted prices in active markets for these notes. The fair value of the Term Loan was $718.1 million at July 5, 2014 and was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis with significant inputs that are not observable (Level 3). The discount rate used in the fair value analysis for the Term Loan was based on borrowing rates available to the Company for debt with the same remaining maturity.

ABL Facility

On January 31, 2014, in connection with the Hercules acquisition, the Company entered into the Second Amendment to Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Credit Agreement”), which provides for (i) U.S. revolving credit commitments of $850.0 million (of which up to $50.0 million can be utilized in the form of commercial and standby letters of credit), subject to U.S. borrowing base availability (the “U.S. ABL Facility”) and (ii) Canadian revolving credit commitments of $125.0 million (of which up to $10.0 million can be utilized in the form of commercial and standby letters of credit), subject to Canadian borrowing base availability (the “Canadian ABL Facility” and, collectively with the U.S. ABL Facility, the “ABL Facility”). In addition, the Credit Agreement provides (i) the U.S. borrowers under the agreement with a first-in last-out facility (the “U.S. FILO Facility”) in the aggregate principal amount of up to $80.0 million, subject to a borrowing base specific thereto and (ii) the Canadian borrowers under the agreement with a first-in last-out facility (the “Canadian FILO Facility” and collectively with the U.S. FILO Facility, the “FILO Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $15.0 million, subject to a borrowing base specific thereto. The U.S. ABL Facility is available to ATDI, Am-Pac Tire Dist. Inc., Hercules and any other U.S. subsidiary that the Company designates in the future in accordance with the terms of the agreement. The Canadian ABL Facility is available to TriCan and any other Canadian subsidiaries that the Company designates in the future in accordance with the terms of the agreement. Provided that no default or event of default then exists or would arise therefrom, the Company has the option to request that the ABL Facility be increased by an amount not to exceed $175.0 million (up to $25.0 million of which may be allocated to the Canadian ABL Facility), subject to certain rights of the administrative agent, swingline lender and issuing banks providing commitments for such increase. The maturity date for the ABL Facility is November 16, 2017. The maturity date for the FILO Facility is January 31, 2017. During the six months ended July 5, 2014, the Company paid $0.7 million in debt issuance costs related to the ABL Facility and FILO Facility.

As of July 5, 2014, the Company had $641.6 million outstanding under the U.S. ABL Facility. In addition, the Company had certain letters of credit outstanding in the aggregate amount of $10.0 million, leaving $198.4 million available for additional borrowings under the U.S. ABL Facility. The outstanding balance of the Canadian ABL Facility at July 5, 2014 was $53.1 million, leaving $70.8 million available for additional borrowings. As of July 5, 2014, the outstanding balance of the U.S. FILO Facility was $80.0 million and the outstanding balance of the Canadian FILO Facility was $10.3 million.

Borrowings under the U.S. ABL Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, either (a) 200 basis points over an adjusted LIBOR rate or (b) 100 basis points over an alternative base rate (the higher of the prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points and one month-adjusted LIBOR rate plus 100 basis points). The applicable margins under the U.S. ABL Facility are subject to step ups and step downs based on average excess borrowing availability under the ABL Facility.

Borrowings under the Canadian ABL Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, either (a) 100 basis points over an alternative Canadian base rate (the higher of the base rate as published by Bank of America, N.A., acting through its Canada branch, the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points and one month-LIBOR plus 100 basis points), (b) 100 basis points over a Canadian prime rate determined in accordance with the Canadian ABL Facility, (c) 200 basis points over a rate determined by reference to the average rate applicable to Canadian Dollar bankers’ acceptances having an identical or comparable term as the proposed loan amount or (d) 200 basis points over an adjusted LIBOR rate. The applicable margins under the Canadian ABL Facility are subject to step ups and step downs based on average excess borrowing availability under the ABL Facility.

Borrowings under the U.S. FILO Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, either (a) 350 basis points over an adjusted LIBOR rate or (b) 250 basis points over an alternative base rate (the higher of the prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points and one month-adjusted LIBOR plus 100 basis points. The applicable margins under the U.S. FILO Facility are subject to step ups and step downs based on average excess borrowing availability under the ABL Facility.

Borrowings under the Canadian FILO Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, either (a) 250 basis points over an alternative Canadian base rate (the higher of the base rate as published by Bank of America, N.A., acting through its Canada branch, the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points and one month-LIBOR plus 100 basis points), (b) 250 basis points over a Canadian prime rate determined in accordance with the Canadian ABL Facility, (c) 350 basis points over a rate determined by reference to the average rate applicable to Canadian Dollar bankers’ acceptances having an identical or comparable term as the proposed loan amount or (d) 350 basis points over an adjusted LIBOR rate. The applicable margins under the Canadian FILO Facility are subject to step ups and step downs based on average excess borrowing availability under the ABL Facility.

The U.S. and Canadian borrowing base at any time equals the sum (subject to certain reserves and other adjustments) of:

• 85% of eligible accounts receivable of the U.S. or Canadian loan parties, as applicable; plus

• The lesser of (a) 70% of the lesser of cost or market value of eligible tire inventory of the U.S. or Canadian loan parties, as applicable and (b) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible tire inventory of the U.S. or Canadian loan parties, as applicable; plus

• The lesser of (a) 50% of the lower of cost or market value of eligible non-tire inventory of the U.S. or Canadian loan parties, as applicable and (b) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible non-tire inventory of the U.S. or Canadian loan parties, as applicable.

The U.S. FILO and the Canadian FILO borrowing base at any time equals the sum (subject to certain reserves and other adjustments) of:

• 5% of eligible accounts receivable of the U.S. or Canadian loan parties, as applicable; plus

• 10% of the net orderly liquidation value of the eligible tire and non-tire inventory of the U.S. or Canadian loan parties, as applicable.

All obligations under the U.S. ABL Facility and the U.S. FILO Facility are unconditionally guaranteed by Holdings and substantially all of ATDI’s existing and future, direct and indirect, wholly-owned domestic material restricted subsidiaries, other than Tire Pros Francorp. The Canadian ABL Facility and the Canadian FILO Facility are unconditionally guaranteed by the U.S. loan parties, TriCan and any future, direct and indirect, wholly-owned, material restricted Canadian subsidiaries. Obligations under the U.S. ABL Facility and the U.S. FILO Facility are secured by a first-priority lien on inventory, accounts receivable and related assets and a second-priority lien on substantially all other assets of the U.S. loan parties, subject to certain exceptions. Obligations under the Canadian ABL Facility and the Canadian FILO Facility are secured by a first-priority lien on inventory, accounts receivable and related assets of the U.S. loan parties and the Canadian loan parties and a second-priority lien on substantially all other assets of the U.S. loan parties and the Canadian loan parties, subject to certain exceptions.

The ABL Facility and FILO Facility contain customary covenants, including covenants that restricts the Company’s ability to incur additional debt, grant liens, enter into guarantees, enter into certain mergers, make certain loans and investments, dispose of assets, prepay certain debt, declare dividends, modify certain material agreements, enter into transactions with affiliates or change the Company’s fiscal year. The terms of the ABL Facility and FILO Facility generally restrict distributions or the payment of dividends in respect of the Company’s stock subject to certain exceptions requiring compliance with certain availability levels and fixed charge coverage ratios under the ABL Facility and other customary negotiated exceptions. As of July 5, 2014, the Company was in compliance with these covenants. If the amount available for additional borrowings under the ABL Facility is less than the greater of (a) 10.0% of the lesser of (x) the aggregate commitments under the ABL Facility and (y) the aggregate borrowing base and (b) $25.0 million, then the Company would be subject to an additional covenant requiring them to meet a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.0 to 1.0. As of July 5, 2014, the Company’s additional borrowing availability under the ABL Facility was above the required amount and the Company was therefore not subject to the additional covenants.

Senior Secured Term Loan

In connection with the acquisition of Terry’s Tire, on March 28, 2014, ATDI entered into a credit agreement that provided for a senior secured term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $300.0 million (the “Initial Term Loan”). The Initial Term Loan was issued at a discount of 0.25% which, combined with certain debt issuance costs paid at closing, resulted in net proceeds of approximately $290.9 million. The Initial Term Loan will accrete based on an effective interest rate of 6% to an aggregate accreted value of $300.0 million, the full principal amount at maturity. The net proceeds from the Initial Term Loan were used to finance a portion of the Terry’s Tire Purchase Price.

On June 16, 2014, ATDI amended the Initial Term Loan (the “Incremental Amendment”) to borrow an additional $340.0 million (the “Incremental Term Loan”) on the same terms as the Initial Term Loan. Pursuant to the Incremental Amendment, until August 15, 2014 ATDI also has the right to borrow up to an additional $80.0 million (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan” and collectively with the Initial Term Loan and the Incremental Term Loan, the “Term Loan”) on the same terms as the Initial Term Loan. The proceeds from the Incremental Term Loan, net of related debt issuance costs paid at closing, amounted to approximately $335.7 million, and were used, in part, to redeem all $250.0 million aggregate principal amounts of notes outstanding under ATDI’s Senior Secured Notes and related fees and expenses as more fully described below, and the remaining proceeds will be used for working capital requirements and other general corporate purposes, including the financing of potential future acquisitions. The Company received the proceeds from the Delayed Draw Term Loan at the end of the second quarter of 2014. The maturity date for the Term Loan is June 1, 2018. During the six months ended July 5, 2014, the Company paid $13.8 million in debt issuance cost related to the Term Loan.

Borrowings under the Term Loan bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, either (a) a Eurodollar rate determined by reference to LIBOR, plus an applicable margin of 475 basis points or (b) 375 basis points over an alternative base rate determined by reference of the higher of the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points, the prime rate and 100 basis points over the one month Eurodollar rate. The Eurodollar rate is subject to an interest rate floor of 100 basis points. The applicable margins under the Term Loan are subject to a step down based on a consolidated net leverage ratio, as defined in the agreement.

All obligations under the Term Loan are unconditionally guaranteed by Holdings and, subject to certain customary exceptions, all of ATDI’s existing and future, direct and indirect, wholly-owned domestic material subsidiaries. Obligations under the Term Loan are secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all property, assets and capital stock of ATDI except accounts receivable, inventory and related intangible assets and a second-priority lien on all accounts receivable and related intangible assets.

The Term Loan contains customary covenants, including covenants that restrict the Company’s ability to incur additional debt, create liens, enter into guarantees, enter into certain mergers, make certain loans and investments, dispose of assets, prepay certain debt, declare dividends, modify certain material agreements, enter into transactions with affiliates, change the nature of the Company’s business or change the Company’s fiscal year. The terms of the Term Loan generally restrict distributions or the payment of dividends in respect to the Company’s stock subject to certain exceptions such as the amount of 50% of net income (reduced by 100% of net losses) for the period beginning January 1, 2014 and other customary negotiated exceptions. As of July 5, 2014, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

The Company is required to make principal payments equal to 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Term Loan on the last business day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the last business day of June 2014. In addition, subject to certain exceptions, the Company is required to repay the Term Loan in certain circumstances, including with 50% (which percentage will be reduced to 25% and 0%, as applicable, subject to attaining certain senior secured net leverage ratios) of its annual excess cash flow, as defined in the Term Loan agreement. The Term Loan also contains repayments provision related to non-ordinary course asset or property sales when certain conditions are met, and related to the incurrence of debt that is not permitted under the agreement.

Senior Secured Notes

On May 16, 2014, ATDI delivered a Notice of Full Redemption, providing for the redemption of all $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 9.75% Senior Secured Notes (“Senior Secured Notes”) on June 16, 2014 (the “Redemption Date”) at a price equal to 104.875% of the principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding the Redemption Date (the “Redemption Price”). On June 16, 2014, using proceeds from the Incremental Term Loan, the Senior Secured Notes were redeemed for a Redemption Price of $263.2 million.

Senior Subordinated Notes

On May 28, 2010, ATDI issued $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 11.50% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018 (the “Initial Subordinated Notes”). Interest on the Initial Subordinated Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on December 1, 2010.

In connection with the consummation of the Hercules acquisition, on January 31, 2014, ATDI completed the sale to certain purchasers of an additional $225.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 11.50% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2018 (the “Additional Subordinated Notes” and, collectively with the Initial Subordinated Notes, the “Senior Subordinated Notes”). The Additional Subordinated Notes were issued at a discount from their principal amount at maturity and generated net proceeds of approximately $221.1 million. The Additional Subordinated Notes will accrete based on an effective interest rate of 12% to an aggregate accreted value of $225.0 million, the full principal amount at maturity. During the six months ended July 5, 2014, the Company paid $1.2 million in debt issuance cost related to the Additional Subordinated Notes.

The Additional Subordinated Notes have identical terms to the Initial Subordinated Notes except the Additional Subordinated Notes will accrue interest from January 31, 2014. The Additional Subordinated Notes and the Initial Subordinated Notes are treated as a single class of securities for all purposes under the indenture. The Senior Subordinated Notes will mature on June 1, 2018.

The Senior Subordinated Notes may be redeemed at any time at the option of ATDI, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days notice at a redemption price of 102.0% of the principal amount if the redemption date occurs between June 1, 2014 and May 31, 2015 and 100.0% of the principal amount if the redemption date occurs between June 1, 2015 and May 31, 2016.

The Senior Subordinated Notes are unconditionally guaranteed by Holdings and substantially all of ATDI’s existing and future, direct and indirect, wholly-owned domestic material restricted subsidiaries, other than Tire Pros Francorp, subject to certain exceptions.

The indenture governing the Senior Subordinated Notes contains covenants that, among other things, limits ATDI’s ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to incur additional debt or issue preferred stock; pay certain dividends or make certain distributions in respect of ATDI’s or repurchase or redeem ATDI’s capital stock; make certain loans, investments or other restricted payments; place restrictions on the ability of ATDI’s subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments to ATDI; engage in transactions with stockholders or affiliates; transfer or sell certain assets; guarantee indebtedness or incur other contingent obligations; incur certain liens without securing the Senior Subordinated Notes; consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of ATDI’s assets; enter into certain transactions with ATDI’s affiliates; and designate ATDI’s subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries. The terms of the Senior Subordinated Notes generally restrict distributions or the payment of dividends in respect of the Company’s stock subject to certain exceptions such as the amount of 50% of net income (reduced by 100% of net losses) for the period beginning April 4, 2010 and other customary negotiated exceptions.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists.” ASU 2013-11 clarifies guidance and eliminates diversity in practice on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. This new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2013 and subsequent interim periods. The Company adopted this guidance on December 29, 2013 (the first day of its 2014 fiscal year) and its adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity,” (“ASU 2014-08”). Under ASU 2014-08, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations that have a major effect on the company’s operations and financial results should be presented as discontinued operations. Additionally, ASU 2014-08 requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations that will provide financial statement users with more information about the assets, liabilities, income, and expenses of discontinued operations. The amendments in ASU 2014-08 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014. However, ASU 2014-08 should not be applied to a component that is classified as held for sale before the effective date even if the component is disposed of after the effective date. Early adoption is permitted, but only for disposals (or classifications as held for sale) that have not been reported in financial statement previously issued. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”), which provides guidance for revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets and supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition,” and most industry-specific guidance. This ASU also supersedes some cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35, “Revenue Recognition-Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts.” The standard’s core principle is that a company should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under today’s guidance. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal year 2017 and, at that time the Company may adopt the new standard under the full retrospective method or the modified retrospective method. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the method and impact the adoption of ASU 2014-08 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

13. Income Taxes:

The tax provision for the six months ended July 5, 2014, was calculated on a national jurisdiction basis. The Company accounts for its provision for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740 – Income Taxes, which requires an estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full year to be applied to the respective interim period. However, the authoritative guidance allows the use of the discrete method when, in certain situations, the actual interim period effective tax rate provides a better estimate of the income tax provision. For the six months ended July 5, 2014, the discrete method was used to calculate the Company’s U.S. and Canadian interim tax expense as management determined that it provided a more reliable estimate of year-to-date income tax expense.

Based on the reported loss before income taxes for the six months ended July 5, 2014, the Company had an income tax benefit of $43.0 million, consisting of a $41.0 million U.S. tax benefit and a $2.0 million foreign tax benefit, and an effective tax benefit rate under the discrete method of 34.0%. For the six months ended June 29, 2013, the Company had an income tax benefit of $9.4 million, consisting of a $7.4 million U.S. tax benefit and a $2.0 million foreign tax benefit, and an effective tax benefit rate of 29.7%. The effective rate of the year-to-date tax benefit is lower than the statutory income tax rate primarily due to earnings in a foreign jurisdiction taxed at rates lower than the statutory U.S. federal rate and non-deductible transaction costs which lowered the effective tax rate by 0.5% and 0.5%, respectively.

At July 5, 2014, the Company has a net deferred tax liability of $302.4 million, of which, $18.9 million was recorded as a current deferred tax asset and $321.3 million was recorded as a non-current deferred tax liability. The net deferred tax liability primarily relates to the expected future tax liability associated with the non-deductible, identified, intangible assets that were recorded during the TPG Merger, assuming an effective tax rate of 39.6%. It is the Company’s intention to indefinitely reinvest all undistributed earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries.

At July 5, 2014, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $0.6 million, of which $0.6 million is included within other liabilities within the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate is $0.1 million as of July 5, 2014. In addition, $0.5 million is related to temporary timing differences. During the next 12 months, management does not believe that it is reasonably possible that any of the unrecognized tax benefits will be recognized.

While the Company believes that it has adequately provided for all tax positions, amounts asserted by taxing authorities could be greater than the Company’s accrued position. Accordingly, additional provisions of federal and state-related matters could be recorded in the future as revised estimates are made or the underlying matters are settled or otherwise resolved. The Company files federal income tax returns, as well as multiple state jurisdiction tax returns. The tax years 2010 – 2012 remain open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The tax years 2009 – 2012 remain open to examination by other major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject (primarily Canada and other state and local jurisdictions).

In September 2013, the Internal Revenue Service released final Tangible Property Regulations (the “Final Regulations”). The Final Regulations provide guidance on applying Section 263(a) of the Code to amounts paid to acquire, produce or improve tangible property, as well as rules for materials and supplies (Code Section 162). These regulations contain certain changes from the temporary and proposed tangible property regulations that were issued on December 27, 2011. The Final Regulations are generally effective for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2014. During 2012, the Company filed a change in tax methodology related to a section of the Final Regulations, specifically the methodology for repairs and maintenance deductions. The Company does not expect any additional adjustments related to the Final Regulations.
