(i) The Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower may make one or more offers (each, an “Offer”) to repurchase all or any portion of the Term Loans (such Term Loans, the “Offer Loans”) of Term Loan Lenders; provided that, (A) the Borrower shall have used commercially reasonable efforts to have the Facility rated by Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s prior to the proposed consummation date of such Offer, (B) Standard & Poor’s shall not have issued, or indicated that it will issue, a rating with respect to the Facility of SD or D and Moody’s shall not have issued, or indicated that it will issue, a rating with respect to the Facility of C, in each case with such rating to be in effect at the time of the proposed consummation date of such Offer, (C) the Borrower or such Subsidiary delivers a notice of such Offer to the Administrative Agent and all Term Loan Lenders no later than noon (New York City time) at least five Business Days in advance of a proposed consummation date of such Offer indicating (1) the last date on which such Offer may be accepted, (2) the maximum dollar amount of such Offer, (3) the repurchase price per dollar of principal amount of such Offer Loans at which the Borrower or such Subsidiary is willing to repurchase such Offer Loans and (4) the instructions, consistent with this Section 3.4 with respect to the Offer, that a Term Loan Lender must follow in order to have its Offer Loans repurchased; (D) the Borrower or such Subsidiary shall hold such Offer open for a minimum period of two Business Days; (E) a Term Loan Lender who elects to participate in the Offer may choose to sell all or part of such Term Loan Lender’s Offer Loans; and (F) such Offer shall be made to Term Loan Lenders holding the Offer Loans on a pro rata basis in accordance with the respective principal amount then due and owing to the Term Loan Lenders; provided, further that, if any Term Loan Lender elects not to participate in the Offer, either in whole or in part, the amount of such Term Loan Lender’s Offer Loans not being tendered shall be excluded in calculating the pro rata amount applicable to the balance of such Offer Loans;

(ii) In addition to any repurchase pursuant to Section 3.4(b)(i) above, the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower may repurchase all or any portion of the Term Loans held by (x) any Lender on terms mutually acceptable to the Borrower or such Subsidiary and to such Lender or (y) any CD&R Holder pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of the Stockholders Agreement;

(iii) With respect to all repurchases made by the Borrower or a Subsidiary of the Borrower, such repurchases shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments pursuant to this Section 3.4 in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Term Loans, provided that such repurchases shall not be subject to the provisions of Section 3.7 and Section 3.11;

(iv) Following any repurchase by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.4, (A) all principal and accrued and unpaid interest on the Term Loans so repurchased shall be deemed to have been paid for all purposes and no longer outstanding (and may not be resold by the Borrower or such Subsidiary), for all

purposes of this Agreement and all other Loan Documents, (B) the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower, as the case may be, will promptly advise the Administrative Agent of the total amount of Offer Loans that were repurchased from each Lender who elected to participate in the Offer; and (C) unless otherwise consented to by the Borrower, each Lender participating in such repurchase shall surrender to the Borrower any outstanding Notes held by it all or a portion of which are being repurchased and such Notes shall be marked “cancelled” by the Borrower; and

(v) Failure by the Borrower or a Subsidiary of the Borrower to make any payment to a Lender required by an agreement permitted by this Section 3.4(b) shall not constitute an Event of Default under Section 8.1(a).

(i) If on or after the Closing Date (1) the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall incur Indebtedness for borrowed money pursuant to Section 7.2(c) pursuant to a public offering or private placement or otherwise, (2) the Borrower or any other Loan Party shall make an Asset Sale pursuant to Section 7.6(i) or (3) a Recovery Event occurs, then, in each case, if and to the extent the applicable Net Cash Proceeds are not required to be applied to the payment of obligations of the Borrower or the other borrowers under the ABL Facility, the Borrower shall prepay, in accordance with this Section 3.4(c), the Term Loans in an amount equal to: (A) in the case of the incurrence of any such Indebtedness other than Subordinated Indebtedness, 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof, (B) in the case of the incurrence of any such Indebtedness that is Subordinated Indebtedness, 50% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof; and (C) in the case of any such Asset Sale or Recovery Event, 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof, in each case minus any Reinvested Amounts, with such prepayment to be made no later than the Business Day following the date of receipt of any such Net Cash Proceeds except that, in the case of clause (C), if any such Net Cash Proceeds are eligible to be reinvested in accordance with the definition of the term “Reinvested Amount” in Section 1.1 and the Borrower has not elected to reinvest such proceeds (or portion thereof, as the case may be), such prepayment to be made on the earlier of (x) the date on which the certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower to such effect is delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with such definition and (y) the last day of the period within which a certificate setting forth such election is required to be delivered in accordance with such definition.

(ii) On or before the date that is fifteen Business Days after the 90th day following the end of each fiscal year of the Borrower ending on or after October 31, 2010 (each, an “ECF Payment Date”), the Borrower shall, in accordance with Section 3.4(d) and Section 3.4(e), apply toward the prepayment of the Term Loans an amount equal to (x) the ECF Percentage of (i) the Borrower’s Excess Cash Flow for the immediately preceding fiscal year minus (ii) the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans prepaid or repurchased pursuant to Section 3.4(a) or Section 3.4(b) (in each case, other than any principal amount of Term Loans so prepaid or repurchased that has previously been applied by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.4(c)(iii) to reduce the amount of any prepayment of Term Loans otherwise required pursuant to Section 3.4(c)(iii)), and any

ABL Facility Loans prepaid to the extent accompanied by a corresponding permanent commitment reduction under the ABL Facility, in each case during such fiscal year excluding prepayments funded with proceeds from the incurrence of long-term Indebtedness, minus (y) the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans prepaid or repurchased pursuant to Section 3.4(a) or Section 3.4(b) (in each case, other than any principal amount of Term Loans so prepaid or repurchased that has previously been applied by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.4(c)(iii) to reduce the amount of any prepayment of Term Loans otherwise required pursuant to Section 3.4(c)(iii)), and any ABL Facility Loans prepaid to the extent accompanied by a corresponding permanent commitment reduction under the ABL Facility, in each case since the end of such fiscal year and on or prior to such ECF Payment Date, excluding prepayments funded with proceeds from the incurrence of long-term Indebtedness (in the case of this clause (y), without duplication of any amount thereof previously deducted in any calculation pursuant to this Section 3.4(c) for any prior ECF Payment Date). For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 3.4(c), proceeds from the incurrence of long-term Indebtedness shall not be deemed to include proceeds from the incurrence of Indebtedness under the ABL Facility or any other revolving credit or working capital financing.

(iii) On or before the date (each such date, a “Tax Refund Prepayment Date”) that is 45 calendar days after each Tax Refund Calculation Date, the Borrower shall, in accordance with Section 3.4(d) and Section 3.4(e), prepay the Term Loans in an amount equal to the Tax Refund Prepayment Amount (if greater than zero) with respect to such Tax Refund Calculation Date. As used herein, the term “Tax Refund Prepayment Amount” with respect to any Tax Refund Calculation Date means the amount equal to the excess of (1) the greater of (x) $10 million and (y) 50% of the aggregate amount of all 2009 Tax Refunds received by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries from the date of this Agreement to such Tax Refund Calculation Date over (2) the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans prepaid or repurchased pursuant to Section 3.4(a) or Section 3.4(b) (in each case, other than any principal amount of Term Loans so prepaid or repurchased that has previously been applied by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.4(c)(ii) to reduce the amount of any prepayment of Term Loans otherwise required pursuant to Section 3.4(c)(ii)) or prepaid pursuant to this Section 3.4(c)(iii), in each case from the date of this Agreement to the Tax Refund Prepayment Date corresponding to such Tax Refund Calculation Date.

(iv) Nothing in this paragraph (c) shall limit the rights of the Agents and the Lenders set forth in Article VIII. Prepayments of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 3.4(c) shall be applied to reduce the remaining amortization payments in forward order of maturity. No prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 3.4(c) shall be in an amount greater than the then outstanding balance of the Term Loans.

(d) Amounts prepaid or deemed prepaid on account of Term Loans pursuant to Section 3.4(a), 3.4(b) and 3.4(c) may not be reborrowed.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.4, if at any time any prepayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Sections 3.4(a) or 3.4(c) would result, after giving

effect to the procedures set forth in this Agreement, in the Borrower incurring breakage costs under Section 3.11 as a result of Eurocurrency Loans being prepaid other than on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, then, the Borrower may, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in its sole discretion, initially deposit a portion (up to 100%) of the amounts that otherwise would have been paid in respect of such Eurocurrency Loans with the Administrative Agent (which deposit must be equal in amount to the amount of such Eurocurrency Loans not immediately prepaid), to be held as security for the obligations of the Borrower to make such prepayment pursuant to a cash collateral agreement to be entered into on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent with such cash collateral to be directly applied upon the first occurrence thereafter of the last day of an Interest Period with respect to such Eurocurrency Loans (or such earlier date or dates as shall be requested by the Borrower); provided that, such unpaid Eurocurrency Loans shall continue to bear interest in accordance with Section 3.1 until such unpaid Eurocurrency Loans or the related portion of such Eurocurrency Loans have or has been prepaid.

Section 3.5 Computation of Interest and Fees.

(a) Interest (other than interest based on the Prime Rate) shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed; and commitment fees and interest based on the Prime Rate shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-day year, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the affected Lenders of each determination of a Eurocurrency Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Term Loan resulting from a change in the ABR or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the affected Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower or any Lender, deliver to the Borrower or such Lender a statement showing in reasonable detail the calculations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 3.1, excluding any Eurocurrency Base Rate which is based upon the Telerate British Bankers Assoc. Interest Settlement Rates Page and any ABR Loan which is based upon the Prime Rate.

Section 3.6 Inability to Determine Interest Rate.

If prior to the first day of any Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurocurrency Rate with respect to any Eurocurrency Loan (the “Affected Rate”) for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (a) any Eurocurrency Term Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is based on the Affected Rate requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be

made as ABR Loans (to the extent otherwise permitted by Section 3.2) and (b) any Term Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to or continued as Eurocurrency Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is based upon the Affected Rate shall be converted to or continued as ABR Loans (to the extent otherwise permitted by Section 3.2).

Section 3.7 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.

(a) Each payment (including each prepayment but excluding prepayments pursuant to Section 3.8 or Section 3.12(d) and purchases pursuant to Section 3.4(b)) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on any Term Loans shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans then held by the respective Lenders. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees, or otherwise, shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders holding the relevant Term Loan, at the Administrative Agent’s office specified in Section 10.2, in Dollars, in immediately available funds. Payments received by the Administrative Agent after such time shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to such Lenders, if any such payment is received prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on a Business Day, in like funds as received prior to the end of such Business Day and otherwise the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to such Lenders on the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurocurrency Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity of such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. If any payment on a Eurocurrency Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity of such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension) unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to such Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower in respect of such borrowing a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate as quoted by the Administrative Agent for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, (x) the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of the failure of such Lender to make such amount available to the Administrative

Agent and the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans hereunder on demand, from the Borrower and (y) then the Borrower may, without waiving or limiting any rights or remedies it may have against such Lender hereunder or under applicable law or otherwise, borrow a like amount on an unsecured basis from any commercial bank for a period ending on the date upon which such Lender does in fact make such borrowing available, provided that at the time such borrowing is made and at all times while such amount is outstanding the Borrower would be permitted to borrow such amount pursuant to Section 2.1.

Section 3.8 Illegality.

Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof occurring after the Closing Date shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Eurocurrency Loans as contemplated by this Agreement (“Affected Loans”), (a) such Lender shall promptly give written notice of such circumstances to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (which notice shall be withdrawn whenever such circumstances no longer exist), (b) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Affected Loans, continue Affected Loans as such and convert an ABR Loan to an Affected Loan shall forthwith be cancelled and, until such time as it shall no longer be unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain such Affected Loans, such Lender shall then have a commitment only to make an ABR Loan when an Affected Loan is requested (to the extent otherwise permitted by Section 3.2), (c) such Lender’s Term Loans then outstanding as Affected Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to ABR Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Term Loans or within such earlier period as required by law (to the extent otherwise permitted by Section 3.2) and (d) such Lender’s Term Loans then outstanding as Affected Loans, if any, not otherwise permitted to be converted to ABR Loans by Section 3.2 shall, upon notice to the Borrower, be prepaid with accrued interest thereon on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto (or such earlier date as may be required by any such Requirement of Law). If any such conversion or prepayment of an Affected Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 3.11.

Section 3.9 Requirements of Law.

(a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof applicable to any Lender, or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority, in each case made subsequent to the Closing Date (or, if later, the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender):

(i) shall subject such Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to any Eurocurrency Loans made or maintained by it or its obligation to make or maintain Eurocurrency Loans, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof in each case, except for Non-Excluded Taxes and Taxes measured by or imposed upon the net income, or franchise Taxes, or Taxes measured by or imposed upon overall capital or net worth, or branch Taxes (in the case of such capital, net worth or

branch taxes, imposed in lieu of such net income Tax), of such Lender or its applicable lending office, branch, or any affiliate thereof;

(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurocurrency Rate hereunder; or

(iii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition (excluding any Tax of any kind whatsoever);

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount which such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurocurrency Loans or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, upon notice to the Borrower from such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, in accordance herewith, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable with respect to such Eurocurrency Loans, provided that, in any such case, the Borrower may elect to convert the Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender hereunder to ABR Loans (to the extent, in the case of Eurocurrency Loans, such Eurocurrency Loans are denominated in Dollars and, in all cases, to the extent such Loans are permitted by Section 3.2) by giving the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day’s notice of such election, in which case the Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon demand, without duplication, amounts theretofore required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to this Section 3.9(a) and such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 3.11. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall provide prompt notice thereof to the Borrower, through the Administrative Agent, certifying (x) that one of the events described in this paragraph (a) has occurred and describing in reasonable detail the nature of such event, (y) as to the increased cost or reduced amount resulting from such event and (z) as to the additional amount demanded by such Lender and a reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation thereof. Such a certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Term Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority, in each case, made subsequent to the Closing Date, does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, within ten Business Days after submission by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent)

of a written request therefor certifying (x) that one of the events described in this paragraph (b) has occurred and describing in reasonable detail the nature of such event, (y) as to the reduction of the rate of return on capital resulting from such event and (z) as to the additional amount or amounts demanded by such Lender or corporation and a reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation thereof, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or corporation for such reduction. Such a certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Term Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary this Section 3.9, no Borrower shall be required to pay any amount with respect to any additional cost or reduction specified in paragraph (a) or paragraph (b) above, to the extent such additional cost or reduction is attributable, directly or indirectly, to the application of, compliance with or implementation of specific capital adequacy requirements or new methods of calculating capital adequacy, including any part or “pillar” (including Pillar 2), of the International Convergence of Capital Measurement Standards: a Revised Framework, published by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in June 2004, or any implementation, adoption (whether voluntary or compulsory) thereof, whether by an EC Directive or the FSA Integrated Prudential Sourcebook or any other law or regulation, or otherwise.

Section 3.10 Taxes.

(a) Except as provided below in this Section 3.10 or as required by law, all payments made by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the Notes shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Taxes; provided that if any Non-Excluded Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower to any Agent or any Lender under this Agreement or the Notes, the amounts so payable by the Borrower shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to such Agent or Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement; provided, however, that the Borrower shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, and shall not be required to indemnify for, any Non-Excluded Taxes, and any amounts payable by the Borrower or any Agent to, or for the account of, any Agent or any Lender shall not be increased (i) if such Agent or Lender fails to comply with the requirements of paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section 3.10 or Section 3.12 or (ii) with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes (x) imposed in connection with the payment of any fees under this Agreement or the Notes or (y) imposed by the United States or any state or political subdivision thereof unless such Non-Excluded Taxes are imposed as a result of a Change in Tax Law applicable to such Agent or Lender, as the case may be. Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of the applicable Lender a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Borrower showing payment thereof. If the Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the applicable

Agent or Lender for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties incurred by such Agent or Lender as a result of any such failure.

(b) Each Agent and each Lender that is a “United States person” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Closing Date or, in the case of an Agent or Lender that is an assignee or transferee of an interest under this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.6, on the date of such assignment or transfer to such Agent or Lender, two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or successor form), in each case certifying that such Agent or Lender is a “United States person” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) and to such Agent’s or Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and under any Note. Each Agent and each Lender that is not a “United States person” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Closing Date or, in the case of an Agent or Lender that is an assignee or transferee of an interest under this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.6, on the date of such assignment or transfer to such Agent or Lender, (i) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN (claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty) (or successor forms), in each case certifying to such Agent’s or Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and under any Note, (ii) if such Agent or Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code and cannot deliver either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN (claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty) (or successor form) pursuant to clause (i) above, (x) two certificates substantially in the form of Exhibit E (any such certificate, a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (claiming the benefits of the portfolio interest exemption) (or successor form) certifying to such Agent’s or Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax with respect to payments of interest to be made under this Agreement and under any Note or (iii) if such Agent or Lender is a non-U.S. intermediary or flow-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, two accurate and complete signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (and all necessary attachments, including to the extent applicable, U.S. Tax Compliance Certificates) certifying to such Agent’s or Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and under any Note. In addition, each Agent and Lender agrees that from time to time after the Closing Date, when the passage of time or a change in circumstances renders the previous certification obsolete or inaccurate, such Agent or Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two new accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN (claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty), or Form W-8BEN (claiming the benefits of the portfolio interest exemption) and a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, or Form W-8IMY (with respect to a non-U.S. intermediary or flow-through entity), as the case may be, and such other forms as may be required in order to confirm or establish the entitlement of such Agent or Lender to a continued exemption from U.S. withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement and any Note, unless there has been a Change in Tax Law applicable to such Agent or Lender which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Agent or Lender from duly completing and delivering

any such form with respect to it, in which case such Agent or Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its inability to deliver any such form.

(c) Each Agent and each Lender shall, upon request by the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower or the applicable Governmental Authority, as the case may be, any form or certificate required in order that any payment made under this Agreement or any Note to such Agent or Lender may be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes (or to allow any such deduction or withholding to be made at a reduced rate), provided that such Agent or Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such form or certificate. Each Person that shall become a Lender or a Participant pursuant to Section 10.6 shall, upon the effectiveness of the related transfer, be required to provide all of the forms, certifications and statements pursuant to this Section 3.10, provided that in the case of a Participant the obligations of such Participant pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section 3.10 shall be determined as if such Participant were a Lender except that such Participant shall furnish all such required forms, certifications and statements to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased.

(d) The provisions in this Section 3.10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Notes and all amounts payable hereunder.

Section 3.11 Indemnity.

The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each such Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur (other than through such Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct) as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment or conversion of Eurocurrency Loans after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a payment or prepayment of Eurocurrency Loans or the conversion of Eurocurrency Loans on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or converted, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or conversion or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of the applicable Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Eurocurrency Loans, as applicable, provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) which would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurocurrency market. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any amounts under the indemnity contained in this Section 3.11, it shall provide prompt notice thereof to the Borrower, through the Administrative Agent, certifying (x) that one of the events described in clause (a), (b) or (c) has occurred and describing in reasonable detail the nature of such event, (y) as to the loss or expense sustained or incurred by such Lender as a consequence thereof and (z) as to the amount for which such Lender seeks indemnification hereunder and a reasonably detailed explanation of

the calculation thereof. Such a certificate as to any indemnification pursuant to this Section submitted by such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Term Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section 3.12 Certain Rules Relating to the Payment of Additional Amounts.

(a) Upon the request, and at the expense of the Borrower, each Lender to which the Borrower is required to make a payment pursuant to Section 3.9 and Section 3.10, and any Participant in respect of whose participation such payment is required, shall reasonably afford the Borrower the opportunity to contest, and reasonably cooperate with the Borrower in contesting, the imposition of any such Tax giving rise to such payment; provided that (i) such Lender shall not be required to afford the Borrower the opportunity to so contest unless the Borrower shall have confirmed in writing to such Lender its obligation to make such payment pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) the Borrower shall reimburse such Lender for its reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and disbursements incurred in so cooperating with the Borrower in contesting the imposition of such Tax; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing no Lender shall be required to afford the Borrower the opportunity to contest, or cooperate with the Borrower in contesting, the imposition of any such Taxes, if such Lender in its sole discretion in good faith determines that to do so would have an adverse effect on it.

(b) If a Lender changes its applicable lending office (other than (i) pursuant to paragraph (c) below or (ii) after an Event of Default under Sections 8.1(a) or 8.1(f) has occurred and is continuing) and the effect of such change, as of the date of such change, would be to cause the Borrower to become obligated to make any payment under Section 3.9 or Section 3.10, the Borrower shall not be obligated to make such payment.

(c) If a condition or an event occurs which would, or would upon the passage of time or giving of notice, result in the payment of any amount to or on behalf of any Lender by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.9 or Section 3.10, such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and shall take such steps as may reasonably be available to it to mitigate the effects of such condition or event (which shall include efforts to rebook the Term Loans held by such Lender at another lending office, or through another branch or an affiliate, of such Lender); provided that such Lender shall not be required to take any step that, in its reasonable judgment, would be materially disadvantageous to its business or operations or would require it to incur additional costs (unless the Borrower agrees to reimburse such Lender for the reasonable incremental out-of-pocket costs thereof).

(d) If the Borrower shall become obligated to make any payment under Section 3.9 or Section 3.10 and any affected Lender shall not have promptly taken steps necessary to avoid the need for payments under Section 3.9 or Section 3.10, the Borrower shall have the right, for so long as such obligation remains, (i) with the assistance of the Administrative Agent, to seek one or more substitute Lenders reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to purchase the affected Term Loan, in whole or in part, at an aggregate price no less than such Term Loan’s principal amount plus accrued interest, and assume the affected obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists or will exist immediately after giving effect to the respective prepayment, upon at least four Business Days’

irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, to prepay the affected Term Loan, in whole or in part, subject to Section 3.11, without premium or penalty. In the case of the substitution of a Lender, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the affected Lender, and any substitute Lender shall execute and deliver an appropriately completed Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to Section 10.6(b) to effect the assignment of rights to, and the assumption of obligations by, the substitute Lender; provided that any fees required to be paid by Section 10.6(b) in connection with such assignment shall be paid by the Borrower or the substitute Lender. In connection with any such substitution under this Section 3.12(d), if the affected Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance and/or any other documentation necessary to reflect such substitution within a period of time deemed reasonable by the Administrative Agent after the later of (a) the date on which the substitute Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation and (b) the date as of which all obligations of the Borrower owing to the affected Lender relating to the Term Loans and participations so assigned shall be paid in full by the substitute Lender to such affected Lender, then such affected Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation as of such date and the Borrower shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation on behalf of such affected Lender. In the case of a prepayment of an affected Term Loan, the amount specified in the notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with any accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. In the case of each of the substitution of a Lender and of the prepayment of an affected Term Loan, the Borrower shall first pay the affected Lender any additional amounts owing under Section 3.9 and Section 3.10 (as well as any commitment fees and other amounts then due and owing to such Lender, including any amounts under Section 3.11) prior to such substitution or prepayment.

(e) If any Agent or any Lender receives a refund directly attributable to Taxes for which the Borrower has made a payment under Section 3.9 or Section 3.10, such Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, shall promptly pay such refund (together with any interest with respect thereto received from the relevant taxing authority, but net of any reasonable cost incurred in connection therewith) to the Borrower; provided, however, that the Borrower agrees promptly to return such refund (together with any interest with respect thereto due to the relevant taxing authority) (free of all Non-Excluded Taxes) to such Agent or the applicable Lender, as the case may be, upon receipt of a notice that such refund is required to be repaid to the relevant taxing authority.

(f) The obligations of any Agent, Lender or Participant under this Section 3.12 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Term Loans and all amounts payable hereunder.

Section 3.13 Further Actions On or Prior to Closing.

(a) Effective as of the Closing Date, without further action by any party thereto, the Original Security Agreement and other Original Security Documents and the Liens created thereby shall terminate and be of no further force or effect. On the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall take all actions necessary or reasonably requested by the Borrower to carry out and effectuate the release of all Original

Collateral from the Liens created thereby; all rights to the Original Collateral thereunder shall revert to the Obligors (as defined in the Original Security Agreement) and the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to the Obligors such documents (including UCC termination statements) as such Obligors shall have reasonably requested to evidence such termination.

(b) Subject to Section 6.10, on or prior to the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower or its Subsidiaries shall amend and restate each of the Existing Mortgages listed on Schedule 3.13(b) into substantially the form set forth in Exhibit C or as shall otherwise be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(c) Effective as of the Closing Date, (i) the Issuing Lender (as defined in the Original Credit Agreement), hereby resigns as Issuing Lender under the Original Credit Agreement and shall not be a party to this Agreement or any Loan Document in such capacity, (ii) with respect to each outstanding Letter of Credit (as defined in the Original Credit Agreement) the Issuing Lender is no longer the issuer of any such Letters of Credit in its capacity as Issuing Lender under the Original Credit Agreement (but, for the avoidance of doubt, the Issuing Lender shall remain the issuer of such Letters of Credit pursuant to the terms thereof and the Cash Collateral Agreement, dated as of May 21, 2009 (the “Cash Collateral Agreement”), between the Borrower and the Issuing Lender), (iii) each such Letter of Credit no longer constitutes an Obligation and (iv) no Lender under this Agreement or the Original Credit Agreement shall have any liability with respect to such Letters of Credit (but, for the avoidance of doubt, the Issuing Lender shall remain the issuer of such Letters of Credit pursuant to the terms thereof and the Cash Collateral Agreement).

the balance sheet and statements of operations of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of August 2, 2009, adjusted to give effect (as if such events had occurred on such date for purposes of the balance sheet and for the three fiscal quarter period ending August 2, 2009 for purposes of the statement of operations), to the initial borrowings and the other transactions contemplated to occur on the Closing Date.

(c) As of the Closing Date, no fact, event, change or circumstances shall have occurred since the date of the Investment Agreement that has had or would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that in determining whether a Material Adverse Effect has occurred, there shall be excluded any effect to the extent resulting from the following: (A) any change, development, occurrence or event affecting the businesses or industries in which the Borrower and its Subsidiaries operate (including general pricing changes), (B) changes in general domestic economic conditions, including changes in the financial, securities or credit markets, or changes in such conditions in any area in which the Borrower or its Subsidiaries operate, (C) changes in global or national political conditions (including any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, declared or undeclared acts of war or terrorism), (D) the announcement of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Investment Agreement and the ABL Facility Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, (E) the failure of the Borrower to meet any internal or published projections, forecasts or revenue or earning predictions for any period (provided that the underlying causes of such failure may be considered in determining whether there is a Material Adverse Effect on the Borrower) or (F) any change in the trading prices of the Capital Stock on the New York Stock Exchange or of the Convertible Notes (provided that the underlying causes of such change may be considered in determining whether there is a Material Adverse Effect on the Borrower); except, with respect to clauses (A), (B), or (C), to the extent that the effects of such changes have a disproportionate impact on the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, relative to other businesses supplying to the non-residential construction industry.

(d) As of the Closing Date, after giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions, the Borrower is Solvent.

Section 4.2 Existence; Compliance with Law.

Each of the Loan Parties (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation, (b) has the corporate or other organizational power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, except to the extent that the failure to have such legal right would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (c) is duly qualified and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, other than in such jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified and in good standing would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (d) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law, except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith would not, in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.3 Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations.

Each Loan Party has the corporate or other organizational power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party, and each such Loan Party has taken all necessary corporate or other organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party on the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any Notes. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other similar act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required to be obtained or made by or on behalf of any Loan Party in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, except for (a) consents, authorizations, notices and filings which have been obtained or made prior to the Closing Date, (b) filings to perfect the Liens created by the Security Documents and (c) consents, authorizations, notices and filings which the failure to obtain or make would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower, and each other Loan Document to which any Loan Party is a party will be duly executed and delivered on behalf of such Loan Party. This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower and each other Loan Document to which any Loan Party is a party when executed and delivered will constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable domestic or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

Section 4.4 No Legal Bar.

The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents by any of the Loan Parties, the Extensions of Credit hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof (a) will not violate any Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation of such Loan Party in any respect that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (b) will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than the Liens permitted by Section 7.3) on any of its properties or revenues pursuant to any such Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation.

Section 4.5 No Material Litigation.

No litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened by or against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or against any of their respective properties or revenues, (a) except as described on Schedule 4.5, which is so pending or threatened at any time on or prior to the Closing Date and relates to any of the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated thereby or (b) which would be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.6 Ownership of Property; Liens.

Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has good title in fee simple to all its Mortgaged Property, and good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its other material property, and none of such property is subject to any Lien, except for Liens permitted by Section 7.3.

The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries owns, or has the legal right to use, all United States and foreign patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark applications, trade names, copyrights, technology, know-how and processes necessary for each of them to conduct its business as currently conducted (the “Intellectual Property”) except for those the failure to own or have such legal right to use would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as provided in Schedule 4.7, no claim has been asserted and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any such Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any such Intellectual Property, nor does the Borrower know of any such claim, and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, the use of such Intellectual Property by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries does not infringe on the rights of any Person, except for such claims and infringements which in the aggregate, would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.8 No Burdensome Restrictions.

Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of any Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation of or applicable to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that would be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.12 Collateral. Upon execution and delivery thereof by the parties thereto, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and the Mortgages will be effective to create (to the extent described therein) in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral described therein, except as may be limited by applicable domestic or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. When (a) the actions specified in Schedule 3 to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement have been duly taken, (b) all applicable Instruments, Chattel Paper and Documents (each as described therein) a security interest in which is perfected by possession have been delivered to, and/or are in the continued possession of, the Collateral Agent or the agent under the ABL Facility (to be held for the benefit of the Lenders and the lenders under the ABL Facility pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement), (c) all Deposit Accounts, Electronic Chattel Paper and Pledged Stock (each as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) a security interest in which is required to be or is perfected by “control” (as described in the UCC from time to time) are under the “control” of the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Collateral Agent and as directed by the Collateral Agent and (d) the Mortgages have been duly recorded, the security interests granted pursuant thereto shall constitute (to the extent described therein) a perfected security interest in all right, title and interest of each pledgor or mortgagor (as applicable) party thereto in the Collateral described therein (excluding Commercial Tort Claims, as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, other than such Commercial Tort Claims set forth on

Schedule 7 thereto (if any)) with respect to such pledgor or mortgagor (as applicable). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, capitalized terms which are used in this Section 4.12 and not defined in this Agreement are so used as defined in the applicable Security Document. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of any Loan Document, it is understood and agreed that the Collateral shall be “as is, where is,” and that such liens and security interests in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Lenders with respect thereto shall be subject in all respects to all existing Liens, security interests, title imperfections and defects, and other defects and impairments of any nature whatsoever.

Section 4.13 Investment Company Act; Other Regulations.

The Borrower is not an “investment company”, or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understand and agreed that the Collateral shall be “as is, where is,” and that such liens and security interests in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Lenders with respect thereto shall be subject in all respects to all existing Liens, security interests, title imperfections and defects, and other defects and impairments of any nature whatsoever. The delivery requirements set forth in this Section 5.1(g) shall be a delivery requirement only and not a requirement with respect to condition or value.

(h) The Collateral Agent or the ABL Collateral Agent (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) or any other agent as may be provided for in the Intercreditor Agreement shall have received the certificates, if any, representing the Pledged Stock under (and as defined in) the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, together with an undated stock power for each such certificate executed in blank by a duly authorized officer of the pledgor thereof.

Section 6.10 Post-Closing Security Perfection.

The Borrower agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver or cause to be delivered such documents and instruments and take or cause to be taken such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to provide the perfected security interests described in Sections 3.13(b), 5.1(g) and 5.1(i) (including applicable Mortgages, title reports, title insurance policies, surveys, appraisals, flood hazard certificates and related opinions of local counsel with respect to the Mortgaged Property of the Loan Parties that constitutes Collateral) that are not so provided on the Closing Date.

The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless such Note shall have been transferred in accordance with Section 10.6 and all actions required by such Section in connection with such transfer shall have been taken. Any request, authority or consent of any Person or entity who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, assignee or endorsee, as the case may be, of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.

The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and any Notes and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders and/or such other requisite percentage of the Lenders as is required pursuant to Section 10.1(a), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Term Loans.

The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that

the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action reasonably promptly with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be directed by the Required Lenders and/or such other requisite percentage of the Lenders as is required pursuant to Section 10.1(a); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

Each Lender represents to each other party hereto that it is a bank, savings and loan association or other similar savings institution, insurance company, investment fund or company or other financial institution which makes or acquires commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business, that it is participating hereunder as a Lender for such commercial purposes, and that it has the knowledge and experience to be and is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of being a Lender hereunder. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees to comply with the provisions of Section 10.6 applicable to the Lenders hereunder.

Section 9.7 Indemnification.

of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by any Agent (or any Affiliate thereof) under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements to the extent arising from (a) such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or (b) claims made or legal proceedings commenced against such Agent by any security holder or creditor thereof arising out of and based upon rights afforded any such security holder or creditor solely in its capacity as such.

The Collateral Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all of the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time, to take any action with

respect to any Collateral or Security Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the security interest in and liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Security Documents.

If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that any Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify such Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from or reduction of withholding tax ineffective or for any other reason, such Lender shall indemnify such Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by such Agent as tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with any expenses incurred.

assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of (and bound by any related obligations under) Sections 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 10.5 and 10.17). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

(iv) The Borrower hereby designates the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent agrees, to serve as the Borrower’s agent, solely for purposes of this Section 10.6, to maintain at one of its offices in New York, New York a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and interest and principal amount of the Term Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance, record the information contained therein in the Register and give prompt notice of such assignment and recordation to the Borrower. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(vi) On or prior to the effective date of any assignment pursuant to this Section 10.6(b), the assigning Lender shall surrender any outstanding Notes held by it all or a portion of which are being assigned. Any Notes surrendered by the assigning Lender shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower marked “cancelled”.

(vii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Assignee, which as of the date of any assignment to it pursuant to this Section 10.6 would be entitled to any payment under Sections 3.9, 3.10 or 10.5 in an amount greater than the assigning Lender would have been entitled to as of such date under such Sections with respect to the rights assigned, shall be entitled to such greater payments unless the assignment was made after an Event of Default under Section 8.1(a) or 8.1(f) has occurred and is continuing or the Borrower has expressly consented in writing to waive the benefit of this provision at the time of such assignment.

107

(c) (i) Any Lender other than a Conduit Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Term 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, (C) such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Term Loan for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (D) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement 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 may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of Section 10.1(a) and (2) directly affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of (and shall have the related obligations under) Sections 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 10.5 and 10.17 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 10.7(b) as though it were a Lender, provided that such Participant shall be subject to Section 10.7(a) as though it were a Lender.

(ii) No Loan Party shall be obligated to make any greater payment under Sections 3.9, 3.10 or 10.5 than it would have been obligated to make in the absence of any participation, unless the sale of such participation is made with the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Borrower expressly waives the benefit of this provision at the time of such participation. Any Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.10 unless such Participant complies with Section 3.10(b) and provides the forms and certificates referenced therein to the Lender that granted such participation.

(d) Any Lender, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, 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 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 (by foreclosure or otherwise) any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(e) No assignment or participation made or purported to be made to any Assignee or Participant shall be effective without the prior written consent of the Borrower if it would require the Borrower to make any filing with any Governmental Authority or qualify any Term Loan or Note under the laws of any jurisdiction, and the Borrower shall be entitled to request and receive such information and assurances as it may reasonably request from any Lender or any Assignee or Participant to determine whether any such filing or qualification is required or whether any assignment or participation is otherwise in accordance with applicable law.

108

(f) In the event of a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower may, on prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Defaulting Lender, replace such Defaulting Lender by causing such Defaulting Lender to (and such Defaulting Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to Section 10.6 (with the assignment fee and any other costs and expenses to be paid by the Borrower in such instance) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more assignees; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrower to find a replacement Lender; and provided, further, that all obligations of the Borrower owing to the Defaulting Lender relating to the Term Loans and participations so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such Defaulting Lender concurrently with such Assignment and Acceptance. In connection with any such replacement under this Section 10.6(f), if the Defaulting Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance and/or any other documentation necessary to reflect such replacement within a period of time deemed reasonable by the Administrative Agent after the later of (a) the date on which the replacement Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation and (b) the date as of which all obligations of the Borrower owing to the Defaulting Lender relating to the Term Loans and participations so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such Defaulting Lender, then such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation as of such date and the Borrower shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation on behalf of such Defaulting Lender.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign any or all of the Term Loans it may have funded hereunder to its designating Lender without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent and without regard to the limitations set forth in Section 10.6(b). The Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any domestic or foreign bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state, federal or provincial bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance. Each such indemnifying Lender shall pay in full any claim received from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 10.6(g) within 30 Business Days of receipt of a certificate from a Responsible Officer of the Borrower specifying in reasonable detail the cause and amount of the loss, cost, damage or expense in respect of which the claim is being asserted, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Without limiting the indemnification obligations of any indemnifying Lender pursuant to this Section 10.6(g), in the event that the indemnifying Lender fails timely to compensate the Borrower for such claim, any Term Loans held by the relevant Conduit Lender shall, if requested by the Borrower, be assigned promptly to the Lender that administers the Conduit Lender and the designation of such Conduit Lender shall be void.

(h) If the Borrower wishes to replace the Term Loans or Commitments under any Facility with ones having different terms, it shall have the option, with the consent of the Administrative Agent and subject to at least three Business Days’ advance notice to the Lenders

109

under such Facility, instead of prepaying the Term Loans or reducing or terminating the Commitments to be replaced, to (i) require the Lenders under such Facility to assign such Term Loans or Commitments to the Administrative Agent or its designees and (ii) amend the terms thereof in accordance with Section 10.1. Pursuant to any such assignment, all Term Loans and Commitments to be replaced shall be purchased at par (allocated among the Lenders under such Facility in the same manner as would be required if such Term Loans were being optionally prepaid or such Commitments were being optionally reduced or terminated by the Borrower), accompanied by payment of any accrued interest and fees thereon and any amounts owing pursuant to Section 3.11. By receiving such purchase price, the Lenders under such Facility shall automatically be deemed to have assigned the Term Loans or Commitments under such Facility pursuant to the terms of the form of Assignment and Acceptance attached hereto as Exhibit F, and accordingly no other action by such Lenders shall be required in connection therewith. The provisions of this paragraph are intended to facilitate the maintenance of the perfection and priority of existing security interests in the Collateral during any such replacement.

Section 10.7 Adjustments; Set-off; Calculations; Computations.

(a) If any Lender (a “benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment from the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof of all or part of its Term Loans owing to it or interest thereon, or receive any collateral from the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 8.1(f), or otherwise (except pursuant to Sections 3.4, 3.8, 3.12(d) or 10.6), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Term Loans owing to it, or interest thereon, such benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders an interest (by participation, assignment or otherwise) in such portion of each such other Lender’s Term Loans owing to it, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without.

(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 8.1(a) to set-off and appropriate and apply against any amount then due and payable under Section 8.1(a) by the Borrower any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

110

Section 10.8 Judgment.

(a) If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Loan Party in any court in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into any other currency (such other currency being hereinafter in this Section 10.8 referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due under any Loan Document in any currency (the “Obligation Currency”) other than the Judgment Currency, the conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of actual payment of the amount due, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any jurisdiction that will give effect to such conversion being made on such date, or the date on which the judgment is given, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction (the applicable date as of which such conversion is made pursuant to this Section 10.8 being hereinafter in this Section 10.8 referred to as the “Judgment Conversion Date”).

(b) If, in the case of any proceeding in the court of any jurisdiction referred to in Section 10.8(a), there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Conversion Date and the date of actual receipt for value of the amount due, the applicable Loan Party shall pay such additional amount (if any, but in any event not a lesser amount) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount actually received in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of the Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial order at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date. Any amount due from any Loan Party under this Section 10.8(b) shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other amounts due under or in respect of any of the Loan Documents.

(c) The term “rate of exchange” in this Section 10.8 means the rate of exchange at which the Administrative Agent, on the relevant date at or about 12:00 noon (New York time), would be prepared to sell, in accordance with its normal course foreign currency exchange practices, the Obligation Currency against the Judgment Currency.

Section 10.9 Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy), and all of such counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be delivered to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

Section 10.10 Severability.

Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

111

Section 10.11 Amendment.

As of the Closing Date, the terms, conditions, agreements, covenants, representations and warranties set forth in the Original Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated in their entirety, and as so amended and restated, replaced and superseded, by the terms, conditions, agreements, covenants, representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement. As of the Closing Date, after giving effect to the Transactions, the amendment and restatement contained herein shall not, in any manner, be construed to constitute payment of, or impair, limit, cancel or extinguish the Indebtedness and other obligations and liabilities of the Borrower evidenced by or arising under the Original Credit Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Guarantors (as defined in the Original Credit Agreement) party to the Original Credit Agreement shall not be parties hereto and shall have no rights, powers, privileges, duties or obligations as parties hereunder but shall be Guarantors party to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which they are a party as of the date hereof.

Section 10.12 Integration.

This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of each of the Loan Parties party hereto, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by any of the Loan Parties party hereto, the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

(iv) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and

(v) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this section any consequential or punitive damages.

Each Agent and each Lender agrees to keep confidential any information (a) provided to it by or on behalf of the Borrower, or any of their respective Subsidiaries pursuant to or in connection with the Loan Documents or (b) obtained by such Lender based on a review of the books and records of the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries; provided that nothing herein shall prevent any Lender from disclosing any such information (i) to any Agent, any Other Representative or any other Lender, (ii) to any Transferee, or prospective Transferee or any creditor or any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations which agrees to comply with the provisions of this section pursuant to a written instrument (or electronically recorded agreement

from any Person listed above in this clause (ii), which Person has been approved by the Borrower (such approval not be unreasonably withheld), in respect to any electronic information) for the benefit of the Borrower (it being understood that each relevant Lender shall be solely responsible for obtaining such instrument (or such electronically recorded agreement)), (iii) to its affiliates and the employees, officers, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors of it and its affiliates, provided that such Lender shall inform each such Person of the agreement under this Section 10.17 and take reasonable actions to cause compliance by any such Person referred to in this clause (iii) with this agreement (including, where appropriate, to cause any such Person to acknowledge its agreement to be bound by the agreement under this Section 10.17), (iv) upon the request or demand of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over such Lender or its affiliates or to the extent required in response to any order of any court or other Governmental Authority or as shall otherwise be required pursuant to any Requirement of Law, provided that such Lender shall, unless prohibited by any Requirement of Law, notify the Borrower of any disclosure pursuant to this clause (iv) as far in advance as is reasonably practicable under such circumstances, (v) which has been publicly disclosed other than in breach of this Agreement, (vi) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder, under any Loan Document or under any Interest Rate Protection Agreement, (vii) in connection with periodic regulatory examinations and reviews conducted by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over such Lender or its affiliates (to the extent applicable), (viii) in connection with any litigation to which such Lender (or, with respect to any Interest Rate Protection Agreement, any affiliate of any Lender party thereto) may be a party, subject to the proviso in clause (iv), and (ix) if, prior to such information having been so provided or obtained, such information was already in an Agent’s or a Lender’s possession on a non-confidential basis without a duty of confidentiality to the Borrower being violated. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Assignment and Acceptance, the confidentiality provisions of this Section 10.17 shall survive with respect to each Lender and Agent until the second anniversary of such Lender or Agent ceasing to be a Lender or Agent, respectively.

In connection with the incurrence by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof of Additional Indebtedness, each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent agree to execute and deliver the Intercreditor Agreement Supplement and any amendments, amendments and restatements, restatements or waivers of or supplements to or other modifications to, any Security Document, and to make or consent to any filings or take any other actions in connection therewith, as may be reasonably deemed by the Borrower to be necessary or reasonably desirable for any Lien on the property or assets of any Loan Party permitted to secure such Additional Indebtedness to become a valid, perfected lien (with such priority as may be designated by the relevant Loan Party or Subsidiary, to the extent such priority is permitted by the Loan Documents) pursuant to the Security Document being so amended, amended and restated, restated, waived, supplemented or otherwise modified or otherwise.
