“Consolidated Non-Cash Charges” means, with respect to any Person for any period, the non-cash expenses (other than Consolidated Depreciation and Amortization Expense) of such Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries reducing Consolidated Net Income of such Person for such period on a consolidated basis and otherwise determined in accordance with GAAP, provided that if any such non-cash expenses represent an accrual or reserve for potential cash items in any future period, the cash payment in respect thereof in such future period shall be subtracted from EBITDA in such future period to the extent paid, but excluding from this proviso, for the avoidance of doubt, amortization of a prepaid cash item that was paid in a prior period.

“Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Ratio” means, with respect to any Person, at any date, the ratio of (i) Secured Indebtedness of such Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries as of such date of calculation (determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP; which is either (A) ABL Secured Obligations or (B) Indebtedness secured pari passu with the Notes, less the amount of cash and Cash Equivalents in excess of any Restricted Cash that would be stated on the balance sheet of such Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries and held by such Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries as of such date of determination to (ii) EBITDA of such Person for the four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding such date on which such additional Indebtedness is Incurred.

In the event that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary Incurs, repays, repurchases or redeems any Indebtedness or issues, repurchases or redeems Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock subsequent to the commencement of the period for which the Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Ratio is being calculated but prior to the event for which the calculation of the Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Ratio is made (the “Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Calculation Date”), then the Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such Incurrence, repayment, repurchase or redemption of Indebtedness, or such issuance, repurchase or redemption of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period; provided that the Company may elect pursuant to an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee to treat all or any portion of the commitment under any Indebtedness as being Incurred at such time, in which case any subsequent Incurrence of Indebtedness under such commitment shall not be deemed, for purposes of this calculation, to be an Incurrence at such subsequent time.

To the extent (i) the Company elects pursuant to an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee to treat all or any portion of the commitment under any Indebtedness as being Incurred or (ii) the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary elects to treat Indebtedness as having been Incurred prior to the actual Incurrence thereof pursuant to Section 4.03(c)(3), the Company shall deem all or such portion of such commitment or such Indebtedness, as applicable, as having been Incurred and to be outstanding for purposes of calculating the Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Ratio for any period in which the Company makes any such election and for any subsequent period until such commitments or such Indebtedness, as applicable, are no longer outstanding.

- 10 -

Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Calculation Date (each, for purposes of this definition, a “pro forma event”) shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, amalgamations, consolidations or discontinued operations (and the change of any associated fixed charge obligations and the change in EBITDA resulting therefrom) had occurred on the first day of the four-quarter reference period; provided that, notwithstanding any classification of any Person, business, assets or operations as discontinued operations because a definitive agreement for the sale, transfer or other disposition in respect thereof has been entered into, the Company shall not make such computations on a pro forma basis for any such classification for any period until such sale, transfer or other disposition has been consummated. If since the beginning of such period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged with or into the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such period shall have consummated any pro forma event that would have required adjustment pursuant to this definition, then the Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such period as if such pro forma event had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period. If since the beginning of such period any Restricted Subsidiary is designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary or any Unrestricted Subsidiary is designated a Restricted Subsidiary, then the Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such period as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period.

For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to any pro forma event, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Company. Any such pro forma calculation may include adjustments appropriate, in the reasonable good faith determination of the Company as set forth in an Officer’s Certificate, to reflect operating expense reductions and other operating improvements or synergies reasonably expected to result from the applicable event within 12 months of the date the applicable event is consummated. For the avoidance of doubt, adjustments to the computation of the Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Ratio arising from any pro forma event and made in accordance with this paragraph and the paragraph immediately above shall not be subject to the 20.0% cap set forth in clause (9) of the definition of “EBITDA”.

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 Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Calculation Date had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Hedging Obligations applicable to such Indebtedness if such Hedging Obligation has a remaining term in excess of 12 months). Interest on a Capitalized Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Company to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of making the computation referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis 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 Company may designate.

For purposes of this definition, any amount in a currency other than U.S. dollars will be converted to U.S. dollars based on the average exchange rate for such currency for the most recent twelve month period immediately prior to the date of determination in a manner consistent with that used in calculating EBITDA for the applicable period.

“Consolidated Taxes” means, with respect to any Person for any period, the provision for taxes based on income, profits or capital, including, without limitation, state, franchise, property and similar taxes, foreign withholding taxes (including penalties and interest related to such taxes or arising from tax examinations) and any Tax Distributions taken into account in calculating Consolidated Net Income.

“Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio” means, with respect to any Person, at any date, the ratio of (i) Consolidated Total Indebtedness of such Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries as of such date of calculation (determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP) less the amount of cash and Cash Equivalents in excess of any Restricted Cash that would be stated on the balance sheet of such Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries and held by such Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries as of such date of determination to (ii) EBITDA of such Person for the four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding such date on which such additional Indebtedness is Incurred.

For purposes of making the computation referred to above, Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, amalgamations, consolidations and discontinued operations (as determined in accordance with GAAP), in each case with respect to an operating unit of a business, that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary has made during the four-quarter reference period or subsequent to such reference period and on or prior to or simultaneously with the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Calculation Date (each, for purposes of this definition, a “pro forma event”) shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, amalgamations, consolidations, or discontinued operations (and the change of any associated fixed charge obligations and the change in EBITDA resulting therefrom) had occurred on the first day of the four-quarter reference period; provided that, notwithstanding any classification of any Person, business, assets or operations as discontinued operations because a definitive agreement for the sale, transfer or other disposition in respect thereof has been entered into, the Company shall not make such computations on a pro forma basis for any period until such sale, transfer or other disposition has been consummated. If since the beginning of such period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged with or into the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such period shall have consummated any pro forma event that would have required adjustment pursuant to this definition, then the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such period as if such pro forma event had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period. If since the beginning of such period any Restricted Subsidiary is designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary or any Unrestricted Subsidiary is designated a Restricted Subsidiary, then the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such period as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period.

applicable event is consummated. For the avoidance of doubt, adjustments to the computation of the Consolidated Total Net Leverage Ratio arising from any pro forma event and made in accordance with this paragraph and the paragraph immediately above shall not be subject to the 20.0% cap set forth in clause (9) of the definition of “EBITDA.”

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 Consolidated Total Net Leverage Calculation Date had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Hedging Obligations applicable to such Indebtedness if such Hedging Obligation has a remaining term in excess of 12 months). Interest on a Capitalized Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Company to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of making the computation referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis 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 Company may designate.

“Contingent Obligations” means, with respect to any Person, any obligation of such Person guaranteeing any leases, dividends or other obligations that do not constitute Indebtedness (“primary obligations”) of any other Person (the “primary obligor”) in any manner, whether directly or indirectly, including, without limitation, any obligation of such Person, whether or not contingent:

To the extent (i) the Company elects pursuant to an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee to treat all or any portion of the commitment under any Indebtedness as being Incurred or (ii) the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary elects to treat Indebtedness as having been Incurred prior to the actual Incurrence thereof pursuant to Section 4.03(c)(3), the Company shall deem all or such portion of such commitment or such Indebtedness, as applicable, as having been Incurred and to be outstanding for purposes of calculating the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for any period in which the Company makes any such election and for any subsequent period until such commitments or such Indebtedness, as applicable, are no longer outstanding. For purposes of making the computation referred to above, Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, amalgamations, consolidations and

- 18 -

discontinued operations (as determined in accordance with GAAP), in each case with respect to an operating unit of a business, that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary has made during the four-quarter reference period or subsequent to such reference period and on or prior to or simultaneously with the Fixed Charge Calculation Date (each, for purposes of this definition, a “pro forma event”) shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, amalgamations, consolidations, or discontinued operations (and the change of any associated fixed charge obligations and the change in EBITDA resulting therefrom) had occurred on the first day of the four-quarter reference period; provided that, notwithstanding any classification of any Person, business, assets or operations as discontinued operations because a definitive agreement for the sale, transfer or other disposition in respect thereof has been entered into, the Company shall not make such computations on a pro forma basis for any period until such sale, transfer or other disposition has been consummated. If since the beginning of such period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged with or into the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such period shall have consummated any pro forma event, that would have required adjustment pursuant to this definition, then the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such period as if such pro forma event had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period. If since the beginning of such period any Restricted Subsidiary is designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary or any Unrestricted Subsidiary is designated a Restricted Subsidiary, then the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such period as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period.

For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to any pro forma event, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Company. Any such pro forma calculation may include adjustments appropriate, in the reasonable good faith determination of the Company as set forth in an Officer’s Certificate, to reflect operating expense reductions and other operating improvements or synergies reasonably expected to result from the applicable event within 12 months of the date the applicable event is consummated. For the avoidance of doubt, adjustments to the computation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (or of Consolidated EBITDA) arising from any pro forma event and made in accordance with this paragraph and the paragraph immediately above shall not be subject to the 20.0% cap set forth in clause (9) of the definition of “EBITDA”.

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 Fixed Charge Calculation Date had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Hedging Obligations applicable to such Indebtedness if such Hedging Obligation has a remaining term in excess of 12 months). Interest on a Capitalized Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Company to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of making the computation referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis 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 Company may designate.

“Fixed Charges” means, with respect to any Person for any period, the sum, without duplication, of: (1) Consolidated Interest Expense (excluding amortization or write-off of deferred financing costs) of such Person for such period, and (2) all cash dividend payments (excluding items eliminated in consolidation) on any series of Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock of such Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries.

“GAAP” means generally accepted accounting principles in the United States set forth in the opinions and pronouncements of the Accounting Principles Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and statements and pronouncements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board or in such other statements by such other entity as have been approved by a significant segment of the accounting profession, which are in effect on the Issue Date. For the purposes of this Indenture, the term “consolidated” with respect to any Person shall mean such Person consolidated with its Restricted Subsidiaries, and shall not include any Unrestricted Subsidiary, but the interest of such Person in an Unrestricted Subsidiary will be accounted for as an Investment.

“Incur” means issue, assume, guarantee, incur or otherwise become liable for; provided, however, that any Indebtedness or Capital Stock of a Person existing at the time such person becomes a Subsidiary (whether by merger, amalgamation, consolidation, acquisition or otherwise) shall be deemed to be Incurred by such Person at the time it becomes a Subsidiary. “Incurred” and “Incurrence” shall have like meanings.

Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture to the contrary, Indebtedness shall not include, and shall be calculated without giving effect to, the effects of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 and related interpretations to the extent such effects would otherwise increase or decrease an amount of Indebtedness for any purpose under this Indenture as a result of accounting for any embedded derivatives created by the terms of such Indebtedness; and any such amounts that would have constituted Indebtedness under this Indenture but for the application of this sentence shall not be deemed an Incurrence of Indebtedness under this Indenture.

If any of the terms of any Additional Notes are established by action taken pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors, a copy of an appropriate record of such action shall be certified by the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officer’s Certificate or an indenture supplemental hereto setting forth the terms of the Additional Notes.

The Initial Notes and any Additional Notes of a series may, at the Company’s option, be treated as a single class of securities for all purposes under this Indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase; provided that if the Additional Notes are not fungible with the Initial Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Additional Notes will have a separate CUSIP number and/or ISIN, if applicable.

Section 2.02 Form and Dating. Provisions relating to the Notes are set forth in Appendix A, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture. The (i) Initial Notes of each series and the related Trustee’s certificate of authentication and (ii) any Additional Notes of a series (if issued as Transfer Restricted Notes) and the related Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall each be substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1 with respect to the 2023 Notes, Exhibit A-2 with respect to the 2025 Notes or Exhibit A-3 with respect to the 2027 Notes, each of which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule, agreements to which the Company or any Guarantor is subject, if any, or usage (provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form acceptable to the Company). Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Notes shall be issuable only in registered form without interest coupons and in minimum denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, provided that the Notes may be issued in denominations of less than $2,000 solely to accommodate book-entry positions that have been created by the Depository in denominations of less than $2,000.

Section 2.03 Execution and Authentication. The Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery upon a written order of the Company signed by one Officer of the Company (an “Authentication Order”) (a) Initial Notes for original issue on the date hereof in an aggregate principal amount of (i) $500,000,000 with respect to the 2023 Notes, (ii) $750,000,000 with respect to the 2025 Notes and (iii) $1,000,000,000 with respect to the 2027 Notes and (b) subject to the terms of this Indenture, Additional Notes of any series in an aggregate principal amount to be determined at the time of issuance and specified therein.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or Appendix A, any issuance of Additional Notes after the Issue Date shall be in a principal amount of at least $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof,.

One Officer shall sign the Notes for the Company by manual or PDF signature.

If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note, the Note shall be valid nevertheless.

- 39 -

A Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or an authenticating agent as described immediately below) manually signs the certificate of authentication on the Note. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture.

The Trustee may appoint one or more authenticating agents reasonably acceptable to the Company to authenticate the Notes. Any such appointment shall be evidenced by an instrument signed by the Trustee, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Company. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as any Registrar, Paying Agent or agent for service of notices and demands.

Section 2.04 Registrar and Paying Agent.

(a) The Company shall maintain (i) an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”) and (ii) an office or agency where Notes may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”). The Company may have one or more co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrars. The term “Paying Agent” includes the Paying Agent and any additional paying agents. The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar, Paying Agent and the Notes Custodian with respect to the Global Notes representing the Notes.

(b) The Company may enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar or Paying Agent not a party to this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any such agent. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such and shall be entitled to appropriate compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.07. The Company or any of its wholly owned domestically organized Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

(c) The Company may remove any Registrar or Paying Agent upon written notice to such Registrar or Paying Agent and to the Trustee; provided, however, that no such removal shall become effective until (i) if applicable, acceptance of an appointment by a successor Registrar or Paying Agent, as the case may be, as evidenced by an appropriate agreement entered into by the Company and such successor Registrar or Paying Agent, as the case may be, and delivered to the Trustee or (ii) notification to the Trustee that the Trustee shall serve as Registrar or Paying Agent until the appointment of a successor in accordance with clause (i) above. The Registrar or Paying Agent may resign at any time upon written notice to the Company and the Trustee; provided, however, that the Trustee may resign as Paying Agent or Registrar only if the Trustee also resigns as Trustee in accordance with Section 7.08.

Section 2.05 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. Prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on each due date of the principal of and interest on the Notes, the Company shall deposit with each Paying Agent (or if the Company or any of its wholly owned domestically organized Subsidiaries is acting as Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto) a sum sufficient to pay such principal and interest when so becoming due. The Company shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that a Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of holders or the Trustee all money held by a Paying Agent for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes, and shall notify the Trustee in writing of any default by the Company in making any such payment. If the Company or any of its wholly owned domestically organized Subsidiaries acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by such Paying Agent. Upon complying with this Section 2.05, a Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Company, the Trustee shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.

Section 2.06 Holder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish, or cause the Registrar to furnish, to the Trustee, in writing at least five Business Days before

- 40 -

each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of holders.

Section 2.07 Transfer and Exchange. The Notes shall be issued in registered form and shall be transferable only upon the surrender of a Note for registration of transfer and in compliance with Appendix A. When a Note is presented to the Registrar with a request to register a transfer, the Registrar shall register the transfer as requested if its requirements (including, among other things, the furnishing of appropriate endorsements and transfer documents) therefor are met. When Notes are presented to the Registrar with a request to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes of other denominations of the same series, the Registrar shall make the exchange as requested if the same requirements are met. To permit registration of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Notes at the Registrar’s request. The Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to pay all taxes, assessments or other governmental charges in connection with any transfer or exchange pursuant to this Section 2.07. The Company shall not be required to make, and the Registrar need not register, transfers or exchanges of any Notes selected for redemption (except, in the case of Notes to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed) or of any Notes of a series for a period of 15 days before the sending of a notice of redemption of Notes of such series to be redeemed.

Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Note, the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name a Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest, if any, on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note is overdue, and none of the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Any holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note shall, by acceptance of such beneficial interest, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Note may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by (a) the holder of such Global Note (or its agent) or (b) any holder of a beneficial interest in such Global Note, and that ownership of a beneficial interest in such Global Note shall be required to be reflected in a book entry.

All Notes issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of this Indenture shall evidence the same debt and shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Depository participants or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.

None of the Trustee, Registrar or Paying Agent shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depository.

Section 2.08 Replacement Notes. If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Registrar or if the holder of a Note claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, shall authenticate a replacement Note of the same series if the requirements of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code are met, such that the holder (a) satisfies the Company and the Trustee within a reasonable time after such holder has notice of such loss, destruction or wrongful taking and the Registrar does not register a transfer prior to receiving such notification, (b) makes such request to the Company and the Trustee prior to the Note being acquired by a protected purchaser as defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code (a “protected purchaser”) and (c) satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the Company and the Trustee. Such holder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee, with respect to the Trustee, and the Company, with respect to the Company, to protect the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Registrar, as applicable, from any loss or liability that

- 41 -

any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced and subsequently presented or claimed for payment. The Company and the Trustee may charge the holder for their expenses in replacing a Note (including without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements in replacing such Note). In the event any such mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may pay such Note instead of issuing a new Note in replacement thereof.

Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of the Company.

The provisions of this Section 2.08 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Notes.

Section 2.09 Outstanding Notes. Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section 2.09 as not outstanding. Subject to Section 13.06, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note.

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08 (other than a mutilated Note surrendered for replacement), it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Company receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser. A mutilated Note ceases to be outstanding upon surrender of such Note and replacement thereof pursuant to Section 2.08.

If a Paying Agent segregates and holds in trust, in accordance with this Indenture, on a redemption date or maturity date money sufficient to pay all principal, interest, if any, payable on that date with respect to the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed or maturing, as the case may be, and no Paying Agent is prohibited from paying such money to the holders on that date pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then on and after that date such Notes (or portions thereof) cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.

Section 2.10 Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and each Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and shall dispose of canceled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that have been redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. The Trustee shall not authenticate Notes in place of canceled Notes other than pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

Section 2.11 Defaulted Interest. If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes of a series, the Company shall pay the defaulted interest then borne by the Notes of such series (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) in any lawful manner. The Company may pay the defaulted interest to the Persons who are holders on a subsequent special record date. The Company shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date and payment date to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee and shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to each affected holder (with a copy to the Trustee) a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.

Section 2.12 CUSIP Numbers, ISINs, Etc. The Company in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers (if then generally in use), and if so, the Trustee shall use any such CUSIP numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers, either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption, that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes and that any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company shall advise the Trustee in writing of any change in any such CUSIP numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers.

Section 2.13 Calculation of Principal Amount of Notes. The aggregate principal amount of the Notes of any series, at any date of determination, shall be the principal amount of the Notes of such series at such date of

- 42 -

determination. With respect to any matter requiring consent, waiver, approval or other action of the holders of a specified percentage of the principal amount of all the Notes of any series, such percentage shall be calculated, on the relevant date of determination, by dividing (a) the principal amount, as of such date of determination, of Notes of such series, the holders of which have so consented, by (b) the aggregate principal amount, as of such date of determination, of the Notes of such series then outstanding, in each case, as determined in accordance with the preceding sentence, and Section 13.06 of this Indenture. Any calculation of the Applicable Premium made pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall be made by the Company and delivered to the Trustee pursuant to an Officer’s Certificate.

The Company may also include a request in such Officer’s Certificate that the Trustee give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its expense and setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in Section 3.05. Any such notice may be canceled if written notice from the Company of such cancellation is actually received by the Trustee on the Business Day immediately prior to notice of such redemption being mailed to any holder or otherwise delivered in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depository and shall thereby be void and of no effect. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee such documentation and records as shall enable the Trustee to select the Notes of the applicable series to be redeemed pursuant to Section 3.04.

Section 3.04 Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed. In the case of any partial redemption of any series of Notes, selection of the Notes of such series for redemption will be made by the Trustee on a pro rata basis to the extent practicable or by lot or by such other method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate (and, in such manner that complies with the requirements of the Depository); provided that no Notes of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. The Notes to be selected shall be selected from outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption.

In such event, the Company shall notify the Trustee of such request at least seven (7) Business Days (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the Trustee) prior to the date such notice is to be provided to holders. Such notice may not be canceled once delivered to holders of Notes.

Section 3.06 Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is mailed or otherwise delivered in accordance with Section 3.05(a), Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date and at the redemption price stated in the notice. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Notes shall be paid at the redemption price stated in the notice, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date; provided, however, that if the redemption date is after a regular Record Date and on or prior to the next Interest Payment Date, the accrued interest to, but not including, the Interest Payment Date, shall be payable to the holder of the redeemed Notes registered on the relevant Record Date. Failure to give notice or any defect in the notice to any holder shall not affect the validity of the notice to any other holder.

Section 3.07 Deposit of Redemption Price. With respect to any Notes, prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the redemption date with respect to the Notes, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or any of their wholly owned domestically organized Subsidiaries is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all Notes or portions thereof to be redeemed on that date other than Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption that have been delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation.

(iv) subject to the foregoing, any other information, documents and other reports which the Company would be required to file with the SEC if it were subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;

provided, however, that the Company shall not be so obligated to file such reports with the SEC if the SEC does not permit such filing, in which event the Company will make available such information to prospective purchasers of

- 45 -

Notes in addition to providing such information to the Trustee and the holders, in each case, within the time the Company would be required to file such information with the SEC if it were subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act as provided above; provided, further, that such reports will not be required to contain the separate financial information for the Company or the Guarantors contemplated by Rule 3-10 or Rule 3-16 under Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC (or any successor provision).

If the Company has designated any Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary and if any such Unrestricted Subsidiary or group of Unrestricted Subsidiaries, if taken together as one Subsidiary, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Company, then the annual and quarterly information required by clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 4.02(a) shall include a reasonably detailed presentation, either on the face of the financial statements or in the footnotes thereto, of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and results of operations of such Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

(ii) any direct or indirect parent of the Company is or becomes a Guarantor of the Notes,

consolidating reporting at such parent entity’s level in a manner consistent with that described in this Section 4.02 for the Company will satisfy this Section 4.02, and the Company is permitted to satisfy its obligations in this Section 4.02 with respect to financial information relating to the Company by furnishing financial information relating to such direct or indirect parent; provided that such financial information is accompanied by consolidating information that explains in reasonable detail the differences between the information relating to such direct or indirect parent and any of its Subsidiaries other than the Company and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the information relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries on a standalone basis, on the other hand.

(c) In addition, the Company will make such information available to prospective investors upon request. In addition, the Company shall, for so long as any Notes remain outstanding during any period when it is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, or otherwise permitted to furnish the SEC with certain information pursuant to Rule 12g3-2(b) of the Exchange Act, furnish to the holders of the Notes and to prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

(2) at the time of incurrence, the Company will be entitled to divide and classify an item of Indebtedness in more than one of the categories of Indebtedness described in Section 4.03(a) or clauses (i) through (xxiv) of Section 4.03(b) (or any portion thereof) without giving pro forma effect to the Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to any other clause or paragraph of Section

- 51 -

4.03 (or any portion thereof) when calculating the amount of Indebtedness that may be Incurred pursuant to any such clause or paragraph (or any portion thereof); and

(3) in connection with the Incurrence (including with respect to any Incurrence on a revolving basis pursuant to a revolving loan commitment) of any Indebtedness under Section 4.03(a) or clause (xvi) of Section 4.03(b), the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary may, by notice to the Trustee at any time prior to the actual Incurrence of such Indebtedness designate such Incurrence as having occurred on the date of such prior notice, and any related subsequent actual Incurrence will be deemed for all purposes under this Indenture to have been Incurred on the date of such prior notice.

Accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the payment of interest or dividends in the form of additional Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as applicable, amortization of original issue discount, the accretion of liquidation preference and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies will not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock for purposes of this Section 4.03. Guarantees of, or obligations in respect of letters of credit relating to, Indebtedness which is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness shall not be included in the determination of such amount of Indebtedness; provided that the Incurrence of the Indebtedness represented by such guarantee or letter of credit, as the case may be, was in compliance with this Section 4.03.

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. However, if the Indebtedness is Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and the refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of the refinancing, the U.S. dollar-denominated restriction will be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of the refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of the Indebtedness being refinanced.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.03, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries may Incur pursuant to this Section 4.03 shall not be deemed to be exceeded, with respect to any outstanding Indebtedness, solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies. The principal amount of any Indebtedness Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if Incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, will be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which the respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of the refinancing.

Section 4.04 Limitation on Restricted Payments.

(a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:

provided, however, that at the time of, and after giving effect to, any Restricted Payment permitted under clauses (vi)(B), (vii), (ix), (x), (xii)(B), (xviii) and (xix) of this Section 4.04(b), no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof (provided, however, that the Company may make regularly-scheduled dividend payments on its Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms thereof pursuant to Section 4.04(b)(vi), regardless of whether any Default has occurred or is continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof); provided, further, that any Restricted Payments made with property other than cash shall be calculated using the Fair Market Value (as determined in good faith by the Company) of such property.

(c) As of the Issue Date, all of the Subsidiaries of the Company will be Restricted Subsidiaries. For purposes of designating any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, all outstanding Investments by the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries (except to the extent repaid) in the Subsidiary so designated will be deemed to be Restricted Payments in an amount determined as set forth in the last sentence of the definition of “Investments.” Such designation will only be permitted if a Restricted Payment or Permitted Investment in such amount would be permitted at such time and if such Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

(d) For purposes of this Section 4.04, any Restricted Payment made prior to the Issue Date shall be deemed to be a Restricted Payment to the extent such payment would have been and would continue to have been a Restricted Payment on the Issue Date had this Indenture been in effect at the time of such Restricted Payment (and, to the extent that any such Restricted Payment was permitted by clauses (i) through (xix) above, such Restricted Payment may be deemed by the Company to have been made pursuant to any such clause in the Company’s discretion).

(e) Notwithstanding anything else set forth in this Section 4.04 or in the definition of Permitted Investments, no Restricted Payment or Investment (other than an Investment in the Company or a Guarantor) of Specified Cash Flow Priority Collateral or material intellectual property owned by the Company or a Guarantor will be permitted under this Indenture.

(5) contracts or agreements for the sale of assets, including any restriction with respect to a Restricted Subsidiary imposed pursuant to an agreement entered into for the sale or disposition of the Capital Stock or assets of such Restricted Subsidiary;

(13) other Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (a) of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor or a Foreign Subsidiary or (b) of any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor or a Foreign Subsidiary so long as such encumbrances and restrictions contained in any agreement or instrument will not materially affect the Company’s or any Guarantor’s ability to make anticipated principal or interest payments on the Notes (as determined in good faith by the Company), provided that in the case of each of clauses (a) and (b),

- 58 -

such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock is permitted to be Incurred subsequent to the Issue Date pursuant to Section 4.03;

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.05, (i) the priority of any Preferred Stock in receiving dividends or liquidating distributions prior to dividends or liquidating distributions being paid on common stock shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make distributions on Capital Stock and (ii) the subordination of loans or advances made to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary to other Indebtedness Incurred by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make loans or advances.

Section 4.06 Asset Sales.

(a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, cause or make an Asset Sale, unless (x) the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value (as determined in good faith by the Company) of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of, and (y) at least 75% of the consideration therefor received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of Cash Equivalents; provided that the amount of:

(i) any liabilities (as shown on the Company’s or a Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet or in the notes thereto) of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary (other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets or that are otherwise cancelled or terminated in connection with the transaction with such transferee,

(ii) any notes or other obligations or other securities or assets received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash within 180 days of the receipt thereof (to the extent of the cash received),

(iii) Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary that is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such Asset Sale, to the extent that the Company and each other Restricted Subsidiary are released from any guarantee of payment of such Indebtedness in connection with the Asset Sale,

(iv) consideration consisting of Indebtedness of the Company (other than Subordinated Indebtedness) received after the Issue Date from Persons who are not the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, and

(v) except in the case of an Asset Sale of Specified Cash Flow Priority Collateral, any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate Fair Market Value (as determined in good faith by the Company), taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this Section 4.06(a)(v) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of $50.0 million and 3.125% of Consolidated EBITDA at the

- 59 -

time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration (with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value), shall be deemed to be Cash Equivalents for the purposes of this Section 4.06(a).

(b) Within 365 days after the Company’s or any Restricted Subsidiary’s receipt of the Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary may apply the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale, at its option:

(i) to repay (i) to the extent such Net Proceeds constitute proceeds from the sale of ABL Priority Collateral, obligations under the ABL Credit Agreement, (ii) to the extent such Net Proceeds constitute proceeds from the sale of Cash Flow Priority Collateral, Obligations under the Notes or under Additional Cash Flow Obligations (and, if the Indebtedness repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto), (iii) to the extent such Net Proceeds are from other assets, either (x) Additional Cash Flow Obligations or (y) Obligations under the Notes of each series on a pro rata basis; provided that if the Company or any Guarantor shall so reduce Obligations under clauses (iii)(x), the Company will equally and ratably reduce Cash Flow Obligations with respect to the Notes of each series as provided under “Optional Redemption,” through open-market purchases (provided that such purchases are at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof or, in the event that the Notes were issued with significant original issue discount, 100% of the accreted value thereof) or by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Asset Sale Offer) to all holders to purchase at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof (or, in the event that the Notes were issued with significant original issue discount, 100% of the accreted value thereof), plus accrued and unpaid interest, the pro rata principal amount of the Notes of each series), in each case other than Indebtedness owed to the Company or an Affiliate of the Company or (iv) to the extent such Net Proceeds are not from an Asset Sale of Collateral, Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor; or

(ii) to make an investment in any one or more businesses (provided that if such investment is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock of a Person, such acquisition results in such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company), assets, or property or capital expenditures, in each case (a) used or useful in a Similar Business or (b) that replace the properties and assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale or to reimburse the cost of any of the foregoing incurred on or after the date on which the Asset Sale giving rise to such Net Proceeds was contractually committed; provided that assets purchased with the Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale of Specified Cash Flow Priority Collateral must constitute Specified Cash Flow Priority Collateral and the Fair Market Value of such purchased assets shall be greater than or equal to Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale of Specified Cash Flow Priority Collateral.

In the case of Section 4.06(b)(ii), a binding commitment shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Proceeds from the date of such commitment until the 18-month anniversary of the date of the receipt of such Net Proceeds; provided that in the event such binding commitment is later canceled or terminated for any reason before such Net Proceeds are so applied, then such Net Proceeds shall constitute Excess Proceeds unless the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into another binding commitment (a “Second Commitment”) within six months of such cancellation or termination of the prior binding commitment; provided, further, that the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary may only enter into a Second Commitment under the foregoing provision one time with respect to each Asset Sale and to the extent such Second Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before such Net Proceeds are applied or are not applied within 180 days of such Second Commitment, then such Net Proceeds shall constitute Excess Proceeds.

Subject to the preceding paragraph, pending the final application of any such Net Proceeds, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary may temporarily reduce Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility, if any, or otherwise invest such Net Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture. Any Net Proceeds from any Asset Sale that are not applied as provided and within the time period set forth in the first sentence of this Section 4.06(b) (it being understood that any portion of such Net Proceeds used to make an offer to purchase the Notes of any series, as described in clause (i) of this Section 4.06(b), shall be deemed to have been invested whether or not

- 60 -

such offer is accepted) will be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds”; provided, that, except with respect to Net Proceeds of Specified Cash Flow Priority Collateral, no Net Proceeds which would otherwise constitute “Excess Proceeds” shall constitute Excess Proceeds in any fiscal year until the aggregate amount of all such Net Proceeds in such fiscal year shall exceed $10 million (and thereafter only Net Proceeds in excess of such amount shall constitute Excess Proceeds). When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $50.0 million, the Company shall make an offer to all holders of the Notes of each series (and, at the option of the Company, to holders of any other Additional Cash Flow Obligations)(an “Asset Sale Offer”) to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes (and such other Additional Cash Flow Obligations), that is at least $2,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds, on a pro rata basis with respect to each series of Notes, at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof (or, in the event the Notes or other Additional Cash Flow Obligations were issued with significant original issue discount, 100% of the accreted value thereof), plus accrued and unpaid interest(or, in respect of such other Additional Cash Flow Obligations, such lesser price, if any, as may be provided for by the terms of such other Additional Cash Flow Obligations), to, but excluding, the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture. The Company will commence an Asset Sale Offer with respect to Excess Proceeds within ten (10) Business Days after the date that Excess Proceeds exceeds $50 million by mailing, or delivering electronically if held by DTC, the notice required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, with a copy to the Trustee. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes (and such other Additional Cash Flow Obligations) tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Company may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for any purpose that is not prohibited by this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes (and such other Additional Cash Flow Obligations) surrendered by holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the amount of Notes of each series in respect of which an Asset Sale Offer as made shall be designated by the Company to the Trustee, and the Trustee, upon receipt of notice from the Company of the aggregate principal amount to be selected, shall select the Notes of each such series to be purchased in the manner described in Section 4.06(e). Upon completion of any such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

(c) The Company will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations described in this Indenture by virtue thereof.

(d) Not later than the date upon which written notice of an Asset Sale Offer is delivered to the Trustee as provided above, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate as to (i) the amount of the Excess Proceeds, (ii) the allocation of the Net Proceeds from the Asset Sales pursuant to which such Asset Sale Offer is being made and (iii) the compliance of such allocation with the provisions of Section 4.06(b). On such date, the Company shall also irrevocably deposit with the Trustee or the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or a Subsidiary is acting as the Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust) an amount equal to the Excess Proceeds which may be invested in Cash Equivalents, as directed in writing by the Company and available to the Trustee and to be held for payment in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.06. The Trustee shall have the right to open an account for purposes of receiving such Excess Proceeds. Upon the expiration of the period for which the Asset Sale Offer remains open (the “Offer Period”), the Company shall deliver to the Trustee for cancellation the Notes or portions thereof that have been properly tendered to and are to be accepted by the Company. The Trustee (or the Paying Agent, if not the Trustee) shall, on the date of purchase, mail or deliver payment to each tendering holder in the amount of the purchase price. In the event that the Excess Proceeds delivered by the Company to the Trustee are greater than the purchase price of the Notes tendered, the Trustee shall deliver the excess to the Company immediately after the expiration of the Offer Period for application in accordance with this Section 4.06.

(e) Holders electing to have a Note purchased shall be required to surrender such Note, with an appropriate form duly completed, to the Company at the address specified in the notice at least three Business Days prior to the purchase date. Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Company receives not later than one Business Day prior to the purchase date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the holder, the principal amount of the Note which was delivered by

- 61 -

the holder for purchase and a statement that such holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased and otherwise in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC. If at the end of the Offer Period more Notes (and such other Additional Cash Flow Obligations) are tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer than the Company is required to purchase, selection of the amount of Notes of each series in respect of which an Asset Sale Offer was made shall be designated by the Company to the Trustee, and the selection of Notes of such series for purchase shall be made by the Trustee on a pro rata basis within each series to the extent practicable, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate (and in such manner as complies with the requirements of DTC); provided that no Notes of $2,000 or less shall be purchased in part and all purchases shall be in integral multiples of $1,000. Selection of such other Additional Cash Flow Obligations shall be made pursuant to the terms of such other Additional Cash Flow Obligations.

(f) Notices of an Asset Sale Offer shall be mailed by the Company by first class mail, postage prepaid, or delivered electronically if held at DTC, at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the purchase date to each holder of Notes at such holder’s registered address (with a copy to the Trustee). If any Note is to be purchased in part only, any notice of purchase that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof that has been or is to be purchased.

(g) For the purposes of this covenant, any sale by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary that owns assets constituting Collateral shall be deemed to be a sale of such Collateral

Section 4.07 Transactions with Affiliates.

(a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction or series of transactions, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Company (each of the foregoing, an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate consideration in excess of $25.0 million, unless:

(i) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less favorable to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that could have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; and

(ii) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $25.0 million, the Company delivers to the Trustee a resolution adopted in good faith by the majority of the Board of Directors of the Company, approving such Affiliate Transaction and set forth in an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (i) above.

(vii) the existence of, or the performance by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of its obligations under the terms of any stockholders or limited liability company agreement (including any registration rights agreement or purchase agreement related thereto) to which it is a party as of the Issue Date, and any transaction, agreement or arrangement described in the Offering Memorandum and, in each case, any amendment thereto or similar transactions, agreements or arrangements which it may enter into thereafter; provided, however, that the existence of, or the performance by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of its obligations under, any future amendment to any such existing transaction, agreement or arrangement or under any similar transaction, agreement or arrangement entered into after the Issue Date shall only be permitted by this clause (vii) to the extent that the terms of any such existing transaction, agreement or arrangement together with all amendments thereto, taken as a whole, or new transaction, agreement or arrangement are not otherwise more disadvantageous to the holders of the Notes in any material respect than the original transaction, agreement or arrangement as in effect on the Issue Date;

(viii) (A) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, or transactions otherwise relating to the purchase or sale of goods or services, in each case in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Indenture, which are fair to the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries in the reasonable determination of the Board of Directors or the senior management of the Company, or are on terms at least as favorable as might reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated party or (B) transactions with joint ventures or Unrestricted Subsidiaries entered into in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice or industry norm;

(c) With respect to any Lien securing Indebtedness that was permitted to secure such Indebtedness at the time of the Incurrence of such Indebtedness, such Lien shall also be permitted to secure any Increased Amount of such Indebtedness. The “Increased Amount” of any Indebtedness shall mean any increase in the amount of such Indebtedness in connection with any accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms or in the form of common stock of the Company, the payment of dividends on Preferred Stock in the form of additional shares of Preferred Stock of the same class, accretion of original issue discount or liquidation preference and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies or increases in the value of property securing Indebtedness described in clause (3) of the definition of “Indebtedness.”

The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations and surrenders may be made at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee as set forth in Section 13.02.

(b) The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency for such purposes. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

(c) The Company hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or its agent as such office or agency of the Company in accordance with Section 2.04.

Section 4.15 Existence. The Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its legal existence and the rights, licenses, permits, privileges and franchises material to the conduct of its business; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit any transaction permitted under Section 5.01, and the Company shall not be required to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect any such right, license, permit, privilege, franchise or legal existence if the Company shall determine in good faith the preservation, renewal or keeping in full force and effect thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company.

Section 4.16 Covenant Suspension. If on any date following the Issue Date, (i) the Notes of a series have Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies, and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Indenture, then, beginning on that day (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a “Covenant Suspension Event”), and subject to the provisions of the following paragraph, the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be subject to Sections 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.06, 4.07, 4.11, 5.01(a)(iv) and 5.01(b) (collectively the “Suspended Covenants”) with respect to such series of Notes.

In the event that the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture for any period of time as a result of the foregoing with respect to any series of Notes, and on any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”) one or both of the Rating Agencies withdraw their Investment Grade Rating or downgrade the rating assigned to the Notes of the applicable series below an Investment Grade Rating, then the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Indenture with respect to future events in respect of the Notes of such series. During the Suspension Period, the Company will not be permitted to designate any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

The Company shall provide the Trustee with notice of each Covenant Suspension Event or Reversion Date within 5 Business Days of the occurrence thereof. The Trustee shall have no duty to monitor the ratings of the Notes, independently determine whether a Covenant Suspension Event or Reversion Date has occurred, or notify holders of any of the foregoing.

On each Reversion Date with respect to any series of Notes, all Indebtedness Incurred, or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock issued, during the Suspension Period will be classified as having been Incurred or issued

- 67 -

pursuant to Sections 4.03(a) and (b) (to the extent such Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock would be permitted to be Incurred or issued thereunder as of the Reversion Date and after giving effect to Indebtedness Incurred or issued prior to the Suspension Period and outstanding on the Reversion Date). To the extent such Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock would not be so permitted to be Incurred or issued pursuant to Sections 4.03(a) and (b), such Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified as permitted under Section 4.03(b)(iii). Calculations made after the Reversion Date of the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.04 will be made as though Section 4.04 had been in effect since the Issue Date and prior, but not during, the Suspension Period. Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period will not reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under Section 4.04(a). No Default or Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred on the Reversion Date with respect to any series of Notes as a result of any actions taken by the Company or the Restricted Subsidiaries during the Suspension Period or any actions taken at any time pursuant to any contractual obligation arising prior to the Reversion Date that were permitted under this Indenture at such time, regardless of whether such actions or events would have been permitted if the applicable Suspended Covenants remained in effect during such period. Within 30 days of such Reversion Date, the Company must comply with the terms of Section 4.11.

For purposes of Section 4.05, on the Reversion Date, any consensual encumbrances or consensual restrictions of the type specified in clause (a) or (b) thereof entered into during the Suspension Period will be deemed to have been in effect on the Issue Date, so that they are permitted under clause (1)(i) thereof.

For purposes of Section 4.07, any Affiliate Transaction entered into after the Reversion Date with respect to any series of Notes pursuant to a contract, agreement, loan, advance or guaranty with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Company entered into during the Suspension Period with respect to such series of Notes will be deemed to have been in effect as of the Issue Date for purposes of clause (b)(vi) thereof.

For purposes of Section 4.06, on the Reversion Date with respect to any series of Notes, the unutilized Excess Proceeds amount will be reset to zero.

Section 4.17 Post-Closing Obligations. On or prior to the date that is 5 Business Days following the later of (i) the termination of Executive Order N-25-20 for the State of California, dated as of March 12, 2020, or any successor order, law or regulation for the State of California or (ii) the termination of Order of the Health Officer No. C19-07c for the City and County of San Francisco, or any successor order, law or regulation for the City and County of San Francisco, (or such later date as the ABL Collateral Agent may agree in its sole discretion), the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Notes Collateral Agent (or with respect to any ABL Priority Collateral, to the ABL Collateral Agent as bailee for the Secured Parties (as defined in the Security Agreement) pursuant to the ABL/Cash Flow Intercreditor Agreement), the pledged (i) Intercompany Notes, (ii) Instruments and Tangible Chattel Paper with a value in excess of $15,000,000 and (iii) Pledged Securities (each, as defined in the Security Agreement) that are held by the Company or any Guarantor on such date, in each case with proper instruments of transfer or assignment.

In the event of any Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(e), such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding, however, any resulting payment default) shall be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the holders of the Notes, if within 20 days after such Event of Default arose the Company delivers an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee stating that (x) the Indebtedness or guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged or (y) the holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default or (z) the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured, it being understood that in no event shall an acceleration of the principal amount of the Notes as described above be annulled, waived or rescinded upon the happening of any such events.

Section 6.03 Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to a series of Notes, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal, interest, if any, on the Notes of such series or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes of such series or this Indenture as it relates to such series.

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. To the extent required by law, all available remedies are cumulative.

Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults. Provided the Notes of a series are not then due and payable by reason of a declaration of acceleration, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes of such series then outstanding by written notice to the Trustee may waive an existing Default with respect to such series and its consequences except (a) a Default in the payment of such series of the principal of or interest on a Note of such series, (b) a Default arising from the failure to redeem or purchase any Note of such series when required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture or (c) a Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot be amended without the consent of each holder affected. When a Default is waived, it is deemed cured and the Company, the Trustee and the holders will be restored to their former positions and rights under this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any consequent right.

Section 6.05 Control by Majority. The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes of each series may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Notes of such series. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other holder (it being understood that the Trustee shall have no obligation to ascertain whether or not such direction is unduly prejudicial to any other holder) or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any action under this Indenture, the Security Documents and the ABL/Cashflow Intercreditor Agreement, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent shall be entitled to indemnification or security satisfactory to each of them in their sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits.

(a) Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal of, premium (if any), interest, if any, when due, no holder may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:

(i) such holder has previously given the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing,

- 73 -

(ii) holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes of the applicable series have requested the Trustee to pursue the remedy,

(iii) such holders have offered, and if requested, provided the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense,

(iv) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity, and

(v) the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes of the applicable series have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.

(b) A holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another holder (it being understood that the Trustee shall have no obligation to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to any other holder).

Section 6.07 Rights of the Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any holder to receive payment of principal of, interest, if any, on the Notes held by such holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in the Notes, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such holder.

Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or (b) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company or any other obligor on the Notes for the whole amount then due and owing (together with interest on overdue principal and (to the extent lawful) on any unpaid interest at the rate provided for in the Notes) and the amounts provided for in Section 7.07.

Section 6.09 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of claim, statements of interest and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for reasonable compensation, expenses disbursements and advances of the Trustee (including counsel, accountants, experts or such other professionals as the Trustee deems necessary, advisable or appropriate)) and the holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company, the Guarantors, their creditors or their property, shall be entitled to participate as a member, voting or otherwise, of any official committee of creditors appointed in such matters and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the holders in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each holder to make payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any holder in any such proceeding.

Section 6.10 Priorities. Subject to the provisions of the Security Documents, any money or property collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article VI and any other money or property distributable in respect of the Company’s or any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture or the Security Documents after an Event of Default shall be applied in the following order:

FIRST: to the Trustee and Notes Collateral Agent for amounts due hereunder (including the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s or the Collateral Agent’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts in accordance with Section 7.07);

- 74 -

SECOND: to the holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, interest, if any, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal and interest, respectively; and

THIRD: to the Company or, to the extent the Trustee collects any amount for any Guarantor, to such Guarantor.

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to the holders pursuant to this Section 6.10. At least 15 days before such record date, the Trustee shall deliver to each holder and the Company a notice that states the record date, the payment date and the amount to be paid.

Section 6.11 Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a holder pursuant to Section 6.07 or a suit by holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the Notes.

Section 6.12 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. Neither the Company nor any Guarantor (to the extent it may lawfully do so) shall at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company and the Guarantors (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waive all benefit or advantage of any such law, and shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

Section 7.04 Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, the Guarantees, the Notes or the other Cash Flow Documents, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Notes, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Company or any Guarantor in this Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication. The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default under Sections 6.01(c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h), or (i), or of the identity of any Significant Subsidiary unless either (a) a Responsible Officer shall have actual knowledge thereof or (b) the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof in accordance with Section 13.02 hereof from the Company, any Guarantor or any holder. In accepting the trust hereby created, the Trustee acts solely as Trustee under this Indenture and not in its individual capacity and all persons, including without limitation the holders of Notes and the Company having any claim against the Trustee arising from this Indenture shall look only to the funds and accounts held by the Trustee hereunder for payment except as otherwise provided herein. Neither the Trustee nor the Notes Collateral Agent shall be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of the Collateral or the perfection of the security interest thereof.

Section 7.05 Notice of Defaults. If a Default in respect of any series of Notes occurs and is continuing and is actually known to a Responsible Officer or the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail, or deliver electronically if held by DTC, to each holder of the Notes of the applicable series notice of the Default within the later of 90 days after it occurs or 30 days after it is actually known to a Responsible Officer or written notice of it is received by the Trustee. Except in the case of a Default in the payment of principal of, premium (if any), interest, if any, on any Note, the Trustee may withhold notice if and so long as it in good faith determines that withholding notice is in the interests of the noteholders. The Company is required to deliver to the Trustee, annually, a certificate indicating whether the signers thereof know of any Default that occurred during the previous year. The Company also is required to deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after the occurrence thereof, written notice of any event which would constitute certain Defaults, their status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take in respect thereof.

Section 7.06 [Reserved].

Section 7.07 Compensation and Indemnity. The Company shall pay to each of the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent from time to time such compensation for the Trustee’s acceptance of this Indenture and its services hereunder as mutually agreed to in writing between the Company, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent, as the case may be, upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses Incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s or the Notes Collateral Agent’s, as applicable, agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent, as the case may be, or any predecessor Trustee or Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable and their directors, officers, employees and agents against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent)) Incurred by or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture or Guarantee against the Company or any Guarantor (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against or investigating any claim (whether asserted by the Company, any Guarantor, any holder or any other Person). The obligation to pay such amounts shall survive the payment in full or defeasance of the Notes or the removal or resignation of the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent. The Trustee shall notify the Company of any claim for which it may seek indemnity promptly upon obtaining actual knowledge thereof; provided, however, that any failure so to notify the Company shall not relieve the Company or any Guarantor of its indemnity obligations hereunder. The Company may defend the claim and the indemnified party shall provide reasonable cooperation at the Company’s expense in the defense. Such indemnified parties may have separate counsel and the Company and such Guarantor, as applicable, shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel;

- 78 -

provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay such fees and expenses if it assumes such indemnified parties’ defense and, in such indemnified parties’ reasonable judgment, there is no actual or potential conflict of interest between the Company and the Guarantors, as applicable, and such parties in connection with such defense. The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense Incurred by an indemnified party through such party’s own willful misconduct or gross negligence, as determined by a final, nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

To secure the Company’s and the Guarantors’ payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of, interest, if any, on particular Notes.

The Company’s and the Guarantors’ payment obligations pursuant to this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction or discharge of this Indenture, any rejection or termination of this Indenture under any bankruptcy law or the resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent. Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent under applicable law, when the Trustee Incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 6.01(f) or (g) with respect to the Company, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Law.

No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise Incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not assured to its satisfaction.

Section 7.08 Replacement of Trustee.

(a) The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Company. The holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and may appoint a successor Trustee. The Company shall remove the Trustee if:

(ii) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

(iii) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

(iv) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

(b) If the Trustee resigns, is removed by the Company or by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes and such holders do not reasonably promptly appoint a successor Trustee, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee.

(c) A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to the holders. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07.

(d) If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee or the holders of 10% in principal amount of the Notes may petition at the expense of the Company any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

- 79 -

(e) If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10, any holder who has been a bona fide holder of a Note for at least six months may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(f) Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

Section 7.09 Successor Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or banking association without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.

In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have.

Section 7.10 Eligibility; Disqualification. The Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of Section 310(a) of the TIA. The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50.0 million as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. The Trustee shall comply with Section 310(b) of the TIA, subject to its right to apply for a stay of its duty to resign under the penultimate paragraph of Section 310(b) of the TIA; provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of Section 310(b)(1) of the TIA any series of securities issued under this Indenture and any indenture or indentures under which other securities or certificates of interest or participation in other securities of the Company are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in Section 310(b)(1) of the TIA are met.

Section 7.11 Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Company. The Trustee shall comply with Section 311(a) of the TIA, excluding any creditor relationship listed in Section 311(b) of the TIA. A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to Section 311(a) of the TIA to the extent indicated.

Section 8.01 Discharge of Liability on Notes; Defeasance.

(a) This Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect (except as to surviving rights and immunities of the Trustee and the Notes Collateral Agent and rights of transfer or exchange of Notes, as expressly provided for in this Indenture) as to all outstanding Notes of a series when:

(i) either (A) all the Notes of such series theretofore authenticated and delivered (except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes which have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or (B) all of the Notes of such series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (1) have become due and payable, (2) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year or (3) if redeemable at the option of the Company, are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company, and the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee funds in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness and Obligations on the Notes of such series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal of, premium, if any, and interest

- 80 -

on the Notes of such series to, but excluding, the date of deposit together with irrevocable instructions from the Company directing the Trustee to apply such funds to the payment thereof at maturity or redemption, as the case may be; provided that with respect to any discharge of such Notes that requires the payment of the Applicable Premium, the amount deposited shall be sufficient for purposes of this Indenture to the extent that an amount is deposited with the Trustee equal to the Applicable Premium calculated as of the date of the notice of redemption, with any deficit as of the date of the redemption only required to be deposited with the Trustee on or prior to the date of redemption;

(ii) the Company and/or the Guarantors have paid all other sums payable under this Indenture in respect of the Notes of such series; and

(iii) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent under this Indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with.

(b) Subject to Sections 8.01(c) and 8.02, the Company at any time may terminate (i) all of its obligations under the Notes of a series and this Indenture with respect to the holders of the Notes of such series (“legal defeasance option”), and (ii) its obligations under Sections 4.02, 4.03, 4.04, 4.05, 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.11, 4.12, 4.15 and 4.16, and the operation of Section 5.01 for the benefit of the holders of the Notes of such series, and Sections 6.01(e), 6.01(f), 6.01(g) (in the case of Sections 6.01(f) and 6.01(g) with respect to Significant Subsidiaries only) and 6.01(h) (“covenant defeasance option”). The Company may exercise its legal defeasance option with respect to Notes of a series notwithstanding its prior exercise of its covenant defeasance option with respect to the Notes of such series. If the Company exercises its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option with respect to any series of Notes, each Guarantor will be released from all of its obligations with respect to its Guarantee of the Notes of the applicable series.

If the Company exercises its legal defeasance option with respect to Notes of a series, payment of the Notes of such series may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default with respect thereto. If the Company exercises its covenant defeasance option with respect to Notes of a series, payment of the Notes of such series may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(c), 6.01(d), 6.01(e), 6.01(f), 6.01(g) (in the case of Sections 6.01(f) and (g), with respect only to Significant Subsidiaries), 6.01(h) or 6.01(i) or because of the failure of the Company to comply with Section 5.01(a)(iv).

appraisal or valuation firm, expressing their opinion that the payments of principal, interest, if any, when due and without reinvestment on the deposited U.S. Government Obligations, plus any deposited money without investment will provide cash at such times and in such amounts as will be sufficient to pay principal, premium, if any, interest, if any, when due on the Notes of such series to maturity or redemption, as the case may be; provided that upon any defeasance that requires the payment of the Applicable Premium, the amount deposited shall be sufficient for purposes of this Indenture to the extent that an amount is deposited with the Trustee equal to the Applicable Premium, calculated as of the date of the notice of redemption, with any deficit as of the date of the redemption only required to be deposited with the Trustee on the date of the redemption;

(iii) no Default specified in Section 6.01(f) or (g) with respect to the Company shall have occurred or is continuing on the date of such deposit;

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Opinion of Counsel required by the immediately preceding sentence with respect to a legal defeasance need not be delivered if all of the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (x) have become due and payable or (y) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year, or if redeemable at the option of the Company, are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption;

(vii) in the case of the covenant defeasance option, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the beneficial owners will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and defeasance had not occurred; and

(viii) the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the defeasance and discharge of the Notes to be so defeased and discharged as contemplated by this Article VIII have been complied with.

- 86 -

(b) After-Acquired Collateral. If the Company or any Guarantor acquires any property which is of a type constituting Collateral under any Security Document (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Excluded Assets), it shall promptly after the acquisition thereof execute and deliver such security instruments, mortgages and financing statements as are reasonably necessary to vest in the Notes Collateral Agent a perfected security interest (subject only to Permitted Liens) in such after acquired property and to have such after acquired property added to the Collateral, and thereupon all provisions of this Indenture relating to the Collateral shall be deemed to relate to such after acquired property to the same extent and with the same force and effect.

(c) Real Estate Documents. With respect to (i) any Specified Cash Flow Priority Collateral owned or leased by the Company or a Guarantor on the Issue Date, the Company or the applicable Guarantor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver or cause to be delivered to the Notes Collateral Agent (x) on the Issue Date, or, to the extent such items cannot be delivered on the Issue Date after the use of commercially reasonable efforts, within 30 days of the Issue Date (or as promptly as reasonably possible thereafter using commercially reasonable efforts), the items described in Section 10.01(c)(1) and (2) below and (y) within 120 days of the Issue Date (or as soon as practicable thereafter using commercially reasonable efforts), the items described in Section 10.01(c)(3)-(5) below and (ii) any real property acquired by the Company or a Guarantor after the Issue Date that forms a part of the Collateral (but specifically excluding Excluded Assets), the Company or the applicable Guarantor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver or cause to be delivered to the Notes Collateral Agent, within 120 days (or as soon as practicable thereafter using commercially reasonable efforts) of the Issue Date or the date of acquisition, as applicable, the following, in each case, in customary form:

(1) fully executed counterparts of mortgages, deeds of trust, security deeds or deeds to secure debt (each, a “Mortgage”), duly executed and acknowledged by the record owner or lessee of such real property, and otherwise in form for recording in the recording office of each applicable political subdivision where such real property is situated, together with such certificates, affidavits, questionnaires or returns as shall be reasonably required in connection with the recording or filing thereof and evidence of the completion (or satisfactory arrangements for the completion) of all recordings and filings of such Mortgage (and payment of any taxes or fees in connection therewith), together with any fixture filings, as may be necessary to create a valid, perfected Lien, with the priority required by this Indenture and the Security Documents, subject to Permitted Liens, against the real property purported to be covered thereby; provided, however, to the extent any such Mortgage is to be filed in a jurisdiction that charges mortgage, intangibles or similar taxes in connection with the recording thereof, the amount to be secured by such Mortgage shall not be more than the Company’s reasonable estimate of the Fair Market Value of such property to the extent that limiting the amount secured to such Fair Market Value results in a savings on such mortgage, intangibles or similar tax; provided, further, if the finalization of the title insurance policies pursuant to subsection (3) below, the surveys pursuant to subsection (4) below or the opinions pursuant to subsection (5) below occur after delivery of any Mortgage pursuant hereto, then, to the extent required to correct and/or confirm that the real property encumbered by such Mortgage is consistent with that so insured and surveyed and/or confirm the Notes Collateral Agent’s mortgage lien on and security interests in such real property, the Company or the applicable Guarantor shall deliver to the Notes Collateral Agent (A) an amendment to any such applicable Mortgage (or to the extent required, a new Mortgage) duly authorized, executed and acknowledged, in recordable form and otherwise in customary form sufficient to grant a perfected security interest to the Notes Collateral Agent with respect to each such applicable mortgaged property and (B) such other documents, including, but not limited to, any supplemental consents, agreements and/or confirmations of third parties, and supplemental local counsel opinions, as are customary for transactions of such type in order to effectuate the same;

(2) to the extent required to mortgage a leasehold interest in real property, estoppel and/or consent agreements executed by each of the lessors of such leased real property, along with (A) a memorandum of lease in recordable form with respect to such leasehold interest, executed and acknowledged by the owner of the affected real property, as lessor, or (B) evidence that the applicable lease with respect to such leasehold interest or a memorandum thereof has been recorded in all places necessary to give constructive notice to third-party purchasers of such leasehold interest, in each case in form

- 87 -

sufficient to give such constructive notice upon recordation and otherwise in form satisfactory to the Notes Collateral Agent;

(3) with respect to each Mortgage, a mortgagee’s title insurance policy (or a binding pro forma title insurance policy or marked-up unconditional binder of title insurance) in favor of the Notes Collateral Agent, and its successors and/or assigns, which shall insure that such Mortgage constitutes a valid Lien on the real property described therein, with the priority required by this Indenture and the Security Documents, free and clear of all Liens, defects and encumbrances, other than Permitted Liens. All such title policies shall be in amounts equal to the estimated Fair Market Value of the real property covered thereby as reasonably estimated by the Company or Guarantor, and such policies shall also include, to the extent available, all such endorsements as shall be reasonably required in transactions of similar size and purpose to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates and shall be accompanied by evidence of the payment in full by the Company or the applicable Guarantor of all premiums thereon (or that satisfactory arrangements for such payment have been made) and that all charges for mortgage recording taxes, filing and recording fees and all related expenses, if any, have been paid;

(4) a new ALTA survey in form satisfactory to the title insurance company issuing the mortgagee title insurance policies or, in lieu thereof, existing surveys, together with any affidavits or certificates required by the title insurance company, in each case, as shall be sufficient to enable the title insurance company to remove any standard survey exceptions from the applicable title insurance policy and issue customary survey-dependent endorsements to the applicable title insurance policy; and

(5) customary local counsel opinions covering the enforceability related to the Mortgages, and opinions of counsel in the jurisdiction of organization of the owner or lessee of the applicable real property covering the due authorization, execution, delivery related to the Mortgages.

To the extent any such actions are not or cannot be completed within the timeframes set forth above as a result of the occurrence of the COVID-19 pandemic (including without limitation, as a result of any notary services being unavailable or the applicable land records office being closed) after the use of commercially reasonable efforts to do so without undue burden or expense or risk to human health, then such actions must be completed as soon as is reasonably practicable after the Issue Date.

Section 10.02 Concerning the Notes Collateral Agent.

(a) The provisions of this Section 10.02 are solely for the benefit of the Notes Collateral Agent and none of the Company, any of the other Guarantors nor any of the holders shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions contained herein. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Indenture and the Security Documents, the Notes Collateral Agent shall have only those duties or responsibilities expressly provided hereunder or thereunder and the Notes Collateral Agent shall not have nor be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with the Trustee, the Company, any other Guarantor or any holder, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Indenture and the Security Documents or otherwise exist against the Notes Collateral Agent.

(b) The Notes Collateral Agent shall act pursuant to the instructions of the holders and the Trustee (or such other persons as set forth in the Security Documents) with respect to the Security Documents and the Collateral. For the avoidance of doubt, the Notes Collateral Agent shall have no discretion under this Indenture, the ABL/Cash Flow Intercreditor Agreement, any Junior Priority Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the Security Documents and shall not be required to make or give any determination, consent, approval, request or direction without the written direction of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes or the Trustee, as applicable, or, if applicable, such other persons as set forth in the Security Documents. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, subject to the provisions of the Security Documents, the Trustee may direct the Notes Collateral Agent in connection with any action required or permitted by this Indenture or the Security Documents.

(c) None of the Notes Collateral Agent or any of its respective Affiliates shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Indenture or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or under or in connection with any Security Document or the transactions contemplated thereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct).

(d) Other than in connection with a release of Collateral permitted under Section 10.03 (except as may be required by Section 9.02), in each case that the Notes Collateral Agent may or is required hereunder or under any other Security Document to take any action (an “Action”), including without limitation to make any determination, to give consents, to exercise rights, powers or remedies, to release or sell Collateral or otherwise to act hereunder or under any other Security Document, the Notes Collateral Agent may seek direction from the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. The Notes Collateral Agent shall not be liable with respect to any Action taken or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with the direction from the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. Subject to the Security Documents, if the Notes Collateral Agent shall request direction from the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes with respect to any Action, the Notes Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such Action unless and until the Notes Collateral Agent shall have received direction from the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, and the Notes Collateral Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining.

(e) Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession, the Notes Collateral Agent will have no duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. The Notes Collateral Agent will be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the collateral in its possession if the collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property, and the Notes Collateral Agent will not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the collateral by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Notes Collateral Agent in good faith.

The Notes Collateral Agent hereby disclaims any representation or warranty to the present and future holders of the Notes concerning the perfection of the liens granted hereunder or in the value of any of the Collateral. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or any other Cash Flow Document, in no event shall the Collateral Agent or the Trustee be responsible for, or have any duty or obligation with respect to, the recording, filing, registering, perfection, protection or maintenance of the security interests or Liens intended to be created by this Indenture or the other Cash Flow Documents (including without limitation the filing or continuation of any UCC.

(g) In the event that the Notes Collateral Agent is required to acquire title to an asset for any reason, or take any managerial action of any kind in regard thereto, in order to carry out any fiduciary or trust obligation for the benefit of another, which in the Notes Collateral Agent’s sole discretion may cause the Notes Collateral Agent, as applicable, to be considered an “owner or operator” under any environmental laws or otherwise cause the Notes Collateral Agent to incur, or be exposed to, any environmental liability or any liability under any other federal, state or local law, the Notes Collateral Agent reserves the right, instead of taking such action, either to resign as Notes Collateral Agent or to arrange for the transfer of the title or control of the asset to a court appointed receiver. The Notes Collateral Agent will not be liable to any person for any environmental claims or any environmental liabilities or contribution actions under any federal, state or local law, rule or regulation by reason of the Notes Collateral Agent’s actions and conduct as authorized, empowered and directed hereunder or relating to any kind of discharge or

- 89 -

release or threatened discharge or release of any hazardous materials into the environment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, the Security Documents or the other Cash Flow Documents, in the event the Notes Collateral Agent is entitled or required to commence an action to foreclose or otherwise exercise its remedies to acquire control or possession of the Collateral, the Notes Collateral Agent shall not be required to commence any such action or exercise any remedy or to inspect or conduct any studies of any property under any mortgages or take any such other action if the Notes Collateral Agent has determined that the Notes Collateral Agent may incur personal liability as a result of the presence at, or release on or from, the Collateral or such property, of any hazardous substances unless the Notes Collateral Agent has received security or indemnity from the holders in an amount and in a form all satisfactory to the Notes Collateral Agent in its sole discretion, protecting the Notes Collateral Agent from all such liability. The Notes Collateral Agent shall at any time be entitled to cease taking any action described above if it no longer reasonably deems any indemnity, security or undertaking from the Company or the holders to be sufficient.

(h) The Notes Collateral Agent shall be entitled to all of the protections, immunities, indemnities, rights and privileges of the Trustee set forth in this Indenture and all such protections, immunities, indemnities, rights and privileges shall apply to the Notes Collateral Agent in its roles under any other Security Document, whether or not expressly stated therein.

(f) to the extent required by the ABL/Cash Flow Intercreditor Agreement; and

(g) upon any sale or disposition of Collateral in compliance with this Indenture with respect to any series of Notes and the Security Documents (other than to the Company or another Guarantor), the Liens in favor of the Notes Collateral Agent with respect to such series of Notes on such Collateral and (subject to the provisions described under Section 10.01(b)) all proceeds thereof (other than any proceeds received by the Company or a Guarantor from such sale or disposition) shall automatically terminate and be released and the Notes Collateral Agent with respect to such series of Notes, upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel certifying that all conditions precedent to such release have been met, will execute and deliver such documents and

- 90 -

ARTICLE XII

GUARANTEE

Section 12.01 Guarantee.

(a) Each Guarantor, by executing and delivering this Indenture or a supplemental indenture to this Indenture substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto, hereby jointly and severally guarantees, on a senior secured basis, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, to each holder and to the Notes Collateral Agent, Trustee and its successors and assigns the performance and punctual payment when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Notes, whether for payment of principal of, premium, if any, interest, if any, on the Notes, expenses, indemnification or otherwise (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from any Guarantor, and that each Guarantor shall remain bound under this Article XII notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation.

(b) Each Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of payment from and protest to the Company of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Notes or the Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantee of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (i) the failure of any holder, the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Company or any other Person under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement or otherwise; (ii) any extension or renewal of this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement; (iii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement; (iv) the release of any security held by any holder, the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee for the Guaranteed Obligations or each Guarantor; (v) the failure of any holder, the Notes Collateral Agent or Trustee to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (vi) any change in the ownership of each Guarantor, except as provided in Section 12.02(b). Each Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to have its Guarantee hereunder divided among the Guarantors, such that such Guarantor’s Guarantee would be less than the full amount claimed.

(c) Each Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to have the assets of the Company first be used and depleted as payment of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes or such Guarantor’s Guarantee hereunder prior to any amounts being claimed from or paid by such Guarantor hereunder. Each Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to require that the Company be sued prior to an action being initiated against such Guarantor.

(d) Each Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein constitutes a guarantee of payment and performance when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any holder, the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee to any security held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations.

(e) The Guarantee of each Guarantor is, to the extent and in the manner set forth in this Article XII, senior in right of payment to all existing and future Subordinated Indebtedness of such Guarantor.

- 92 -

(f) Except as expressly set forth in Sections 8.01(b), 12.02 and 12.06, the Guarantee of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guarantee of each Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any holder, the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.

(g) Except as expressly set forth in Section 12.02(b), each Guarantor agrees that its Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all the Guaranteed Obligations of such Guarantor. Each Guarantor further agrees that its Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any holder, the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise.

(h) In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any holder, the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Company to pay the principal of, interest, if any, on any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, or to perform or comply with any other Guaranteed Obligation, each Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Notes Collateral Agent or Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the holders, the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee an amount equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid principal amount of such Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (but only to the extent not prohibited by applicable law) and (iii) all other monetary obligations of the Company to the holders, the Notes Collateral Agent and the Trustee.

(i) Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the holders in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the holders, the Notes Collateral Agent and the Trustee, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article VI for the purposes of the Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations as provided in Article VI, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purposes of this Section 12.01.

(j) Each Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee in enforcing any rights under this Section 12.01.

(k) Upon request of the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent, each Guarantor shall execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary to carry out more effectively the purpose of this Indenture.

Section 12.02 Limitation on Liability.

(a) Any term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereunder by each Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed by the applicable Guarantor without rendering the Guarantee, as it relates to such Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally or capital maintenance or corporate benefit rules applicable to guarantees for obligations of affiliates.

- 93 -

(b) A Guarantee as to any Guarantor shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect and such Guarantor shall be automatically released from all obligations under this Article XII upon:

(i) the sale, disposition, exchange or other transfer (including through merger, consolidation, amalgamation or otherwise) of the Capital Stock (including any sale, disposition or other transfer following which the applicable Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary), of the applicable Guarantor to a person that is not the Company or a Guarantor if such sale, disposition, exchange or other transfer is made in a manner not in violation of this Indenture;

(ii) the designation of such Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.04 and the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary”;

(iii) except in the case of a Guarantor that owns Specified Cash Flow Priority Collateral, the release or discharge of the guarantee (other than as result of payment thereon by such Guarantor following a default by the direct obligor on the applicable Credit Facility or Capital Markets Indebtedness) by such Guarantor of, or other obligations of such Guarantor with respect to, all Credit Facility and Capital Markets Indebtedness of the Company or any other Guarantor; or

(iv) as to any series of Notes, the Company’s exercise of its legal defeasance option or covenant defeasance option under Article VIII with respect to such series or if the Company’s obligations under this Indenture with respect to such series are discharged in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

Section 12.03 Non-Impairment. The failure to endorse a Guarantee on any Note shall not affect or impair the validity thereof.

Section 12.04 Successors and Assigns. This Article XII shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the successors and assigns of the Trustee, the Notes Collateral Agent and the holders and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any holder, the Notes Collateral Agent or the Trustee, the rights and privileges conferred upon that party in this Indenture and in the Notes shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions of this Indenture.

Section 12.05 No Waiver. Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of any one of the Trustee, the Notes Collateral Agent or the holders in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article XII shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege. The rights, remedies and benefits of the Trustee, the Notes Collateral Agent and the holders herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under this Article XII at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.

Section 12.06 Modification. No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Article XII, nor the consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle any Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

Section 12.07 Execution of Supplemental Indenture for Future Guarantors. Each Subsidiary which is required to become a Guarantor of the Notes pursuant to Section 4.11 shall promptly execute and deliver to the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent a supplemental indenture substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto pursuant to which such Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor under this Article XII and shall guarantee the Guaranteed Obligations. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee or the Notes Collateral Agent an Opinion of Counsel and an Officer’s Certificate, as provided under Section 9.05.

Notice of any redemption of the 2023 Notes may, at the Company’s discretion, be given prior to the completion of a transaction (including an Equity Offering, an incurrence of Indebtedness, a Change of Control or other transaction) and any redemption notice may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to the satisfaction (or waiver by the Company) of one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of a related transaction.

On and after the redemption date, interest shall cease to accrue on 2023 Notes or portions thereof called for redemption so long as the Company has deposited with the Paying Agent funds sufficient to pay the redemption price of, plus accrued and unpaid interest on, the 2023 Notes or portions thereof to be redeemed, unless the Paying Agent is prohibited from making such payment pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

Company or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of outstanding Notes of the applicable series by notice to the Company, with a copy to the Trustee, may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Notes of such series to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal and interest will be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(f) or (g) of the Indenture with respect to the Company occurs, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all the Notes of each series will become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any holders. The holders of a majority in principal amount of outstanding Notes of any series may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes of such series and its consequences.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders pursuant to the Indenture, unless such holders have offered and, if requested, provided to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be Incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no holder may pursue any remedy with respect to the Indenture or the Notes unless (i) such holder has previously given the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing, (ii) holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes of the applicable series have requested the Trustee to pursue the remedy, (iii) such holders have offered and, if requested, provided the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense, (iv) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity, and (v) the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes of the applicable series have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period. The holders of a majority in principal amount of outstanding Notes of each series may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Notes of such series. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability (it being understood that the Trustee shall have no obligation to ascertain whether or not such direction is unduly prejudicial to any other holder). Prior to taking any action under the Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

16. Trustee Dealings with the Company

The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of 2023 Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.

17. No Recourse Against Others

No director, officer, employee, manager or incorporator of the Company or any direct or indirect parent company of the Company, and no holder of any Equity Interests in the Company or any direct or indirect parent company of the Company, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company or any Guarantor under the 2023 Notes, the Indenture or the Guarantees, as applicable, or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each holder of 2023 Notes by accepting a 2023 Note waives and releases all such liability.

The Company shall pay interest semiannually on May 15 and November 15 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing [November 15, 2020]⁷. Interest on the 2027 Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for, from [May 7, 2020]⁸, until the principal hereof is due. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate borne by the 2027 Notes, and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the same rate to the extent lawful.

2. Method of Payment

The Company shall pay interest on the 2027 Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered holders at the close of business on May 1 or November 1 (each, a “Record Date”) immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date even if 2027 Notes are canceled after the Record Date and on or before the Interest Payment Date (whether or not a Business Day). Holders must surrender 2027 Notes to the Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company shall pay principal, premium, if any, and interest in money of the United States of America that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Payments in respect of the 2027 Notes represented by a Global Note (including principal, premium, if any, and interest) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by DTC or any successor depositary.

In the event that Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary Incurs, repays, repurchases or redeems any Indebtedness or issues, repurchases or redeems Disqualified Capital Stock or Preferred Stock subsequent to the commencement of the period for which the Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Ratio is being calculated but prior to the event for which the calculation of the Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Ratio is made

(the “Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Calculation Date”), then the Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such Incurrence, repayment, repurchase or redemption of Indebtedness, or such issuance, repurchase or redemption of Disqualified Capital Stock or Preferred Stock as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period; provided that, for purposes of clause 6(B) of the definition of “Permitted Lien”, Parent Borrower may elect pursuant to an Officer’s Certificate delivered to Agent to treat all or any portion of the commitment under any Indebtedness as being Incurred at the time of delivery of such Officer’s Certificate, in which case any subsequent Incurrence of Indebtedness under such commitment shall not be deemed, for purposes of this calculation, to be an Incurrence at such subsequent time, and to the extent Parent Borrower elects pursuant to such an Officer’s Certificate delivered to Agent to treat all or any portion of the commitment under any Indebtedness as being Incurred at the time of delivery of such Officer’s Certificate, solely for purposes of clause 6(B) of the definition of “Permitted Lien”, Parent Borrower shall deem all or such portion of such commitment as having been Incurred and to be outstanding for purposes of calculating the Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Ratio for any period in which Parent Borrower makes any such election and for any subsequent period until such commitments are no longer outstanding or until Parent Borrower elects to withdraw such election.

For purposes of making the computation referred to above, Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, amalgamations, consolidations and discontinued operations (as determined in accordance with GAAP), in each case with respect to an operating unit of a business, that Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary has made during the four-quarter reference period or subsequent to such reference period and on or prior to or simultaneously with the Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Calculation Date (each, for purposes of this definition, a “pro forma event”) shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers, amalgamations, consolidations or discontinued operations (and the change of any associated fixed charge obligations and the change in EBITDA resulting therefrom) had occurred on the first day of the four-quarter reference period; provided that, notwithstanding any classification of any Person, business, assets or operations as discontinued operations because a definitive agreement for the sale, transfer or other disposition in respect thereof has been entered into, Parent Borrower shall not make such computations on a pro forma basis for any such classification for any period until such sale, transfer or other disposition has been consummated. If since the beginning of such period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged with or into Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such period shall have consummated any pro forma event that would have required adjustment pursuant to this definition, then the Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such period as if such pro forma event had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period. If since the beginning of such period any Restricted Subsidiary is designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary or any Unrestricted Subsidiary is designated a Restricted Subsidiary, then the Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect thereto for such

period as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period.

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 Consolidated Secured Net Leverage Calculation Date had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Hedging Obligations applicable to such Indebtedness if such Hedging Obligation has a remaining term in excess of 12 months). Interest on a Capital Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of Parent Borrower to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capital Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of making the computation referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis 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 Parent Borrower may designate.

For purposes of this definition, any amount in a currency other than Dollars will be converted to Dollars based on the average exchange rate for such currency for the most recent twelve month period immediately prior to the date of determination in a manner consistent with that used in calculating EBITDA for the applicable period.

(b) The Inventory Reserves and Availability Reserves as of the Restatement Date are set forth in the Borrowing Base Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(h) hereof.

(c) The Agent shall have the right, at any time and from time to time after the Restatement Date in its Permitted Discretion, to establish or modify Reserves or to eliminate then existing Reserves, and the Agent shall provide the Parent Borrower with prompt written notice of the same.

SECTION 2.02 Making the Advances. (a) Each Revolving Credit Borrowing, each conversion of Revolving Credit Advances from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Contract Rate Loans shall be made upon the applicable Borrower’s irrevocable

notice to the Agent, which may be given by (x) telephone or (y) a Committed Advance Notice; provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed immediately by delivery to the Agent of a Committed Advance Notice. Each such Committed Advance Notice must be received by the Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Contract Rate Loans denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars, (ii) four Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Advances denominated in Alternative Currencies (other than Canadian Dollars), and (iii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of Index Rate Loans denominated in Dollars and one Business Day prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of Index Rate Loans denominated in Canadian Dollars. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Contract Rate Loans shall be in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 or CND$5,000,000, as applicable. Except as provided in Sections 2.02(c), 2.03(c) and 2.04(c), each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Advances or Canadian Base Rate Advances shall be in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 and each Borrowing of or conversion to Canadian Prime Rate Advances shall be in a minimum principal amount of CND$1,000,000. Each Committed Advance Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether the applicable Borrower is requesting a Revolving Credit Borrowing, a conversion of Revolving Credit Advances from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Contract Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Advances to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Advances to be borrowed or to which existing Revolving Credit Advances are to be converted, (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto and (vi) the currency of the Revolving Credit Advances to be borrowed. If a Borrower fails to specify a currency in a Committed Advance Notice requesting a Revolving Credit Borrowing, then the Revolving Credit Advances so requested shall be made in Dollars as regards to a U.S. Borrower and in Canadian Dollars as regards a Canadian Borrower. If a Borrower fails to specify a Type of Advance in a Committed Advance Notice or if a Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Revolving Credit Advances shall be made as, or converted to, the applicable Index Rate Loans; provided, however, that (x) in the case of a failure to timely request a continuation of Revolving Credit Advances denominated in an Alternative Currency (other than Canadian Dollars), such Revolving Credit Advances shall be continued as Eurocurrency Rate Advances in their original currency with an Interest Period of one month and (y) in the case of a failure to timely request a continuation of BA Rate Advances, such Revolving Credit Advances shall be continued as Canadian Prime Rate Advances or, as regards a U.S. Borrower, shall be repaid. Any such automatic conversion to Index Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Contract Rate Loans. If a Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Contract Rate Loans in any such Committed Advance Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. No Revolving Credit Advance may be converted into or continued as a Revolving Credit Advance denominated in a different currency, but instead must be prepaid in the original currency of such Revolving Credit Advance and reborrowed in the other currency.

(b) Following receipt of a Committed Advance Notice, the Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount (and currency) of its Commitment Percentage

of the applicable Revolving Credit Advances, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the applicable Borrower, the Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Index Rate Loans or continuation of Revolving Credit Advances denominated in a currency other than Dollars or Canadian Dollars, in each case as described in Section 2.02(a). In the case of a Revolving Credit Borrowing, each appropriate Lender shall make the amount of its Advance available to the Agent in Same Day Funds at the Agent’s Office for the applicable currency not later than 2:00 p.m., in the case of any Advance denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars, and not later than the Applicable Time specified by the Agent in the case of any Revolving Credit Advance in an Alternative Currency (other than Canadian Dollars), in each case on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Advance Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension hereunder, Section 5.01), the Agent shall make all funds so received available to the applicable Borrower in like funds as received by the Agent either by (i) crediting the account of such Borrower on the books of Bank of America with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Agent by such Borrower; provided, however, that if, on the date the Committed Advance Notice with respect to such Borrowing denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars is given by the Parent Borrower, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding (and the Parent Borrower shall have been notified of such L/C Borrowings), then the proceeds of such Borrowing, first, shall be applied to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, and, second, shall be made available to the Parent Borrower as provided above.

(c) During the existence of an Event of Default no Revolving Credit Advances may be requested as, converted to or continued as Contract Rate Loans (whether in Dollars or any Alternative Currency) without the consent of the Majority Lenders, and the Majority Lenders may demand that, other than BA Rate Advances made to a Canadian Borrower, any or all of the then outstanding Revolving Credit Advances that are Eurocurrency Rate Advances denominated in an Alternative Currency be prepaid, or redenominated into Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof, on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto.

(d) The Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Contract Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. At any time that Index Rate Loans are outstanding, the Agent shall notify the applicable Borrower(s) and the Lenders of any change in Bank of America’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate and the Canadian Prime Rate and in Bank of America’s base rate used in determining the Canadian Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.

(e) After giving effect to all Revolving Credit Borrowings, all conversions of Revolving Credit Advances from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Revolving Credit Advances as the same Type, there shall not be more than ten Interest Periods in effect.

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

(g) The Agent, the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and the Issuing Banks shall have no obligation to make any Loan or to provide any Letter of Credit if an Overadvance would result. The Agent may, in its discretion, make Permitted Overadvances without the consent of the Borrowers, the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and the Issuing Banks and the Borrowers and each Lender and Issuing Bank shall be bound thereby. Any Permitted Overadvance may constitute a Swing Line Loan. A Permitted Overadvance is for the account of the Parent Borrower and shall constitute a Base Rate Advance and an Obligation and shall be repaid by the Parent Borrower in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.07. The making of any such Permitted Overadvance on any one occasion shall not obligate the Agent or any Lender to make or permit any Permitted Overadvance on any other occasion or to permit such Permitted Overadvances to remain outstanding. The making by the Agent of a Permitted Overadvance shall not modify or abrogate any of the provisions of Section 2.04 regarding the Lenders’ obligations to purchase participations with respect to Letter of Credits or of Section 2.03 regarding the Lenders’ obligations to purchase participations with respect to Swing Line Loans. The Agent shall have no liability for, and no Loan Party or Lender shall have the right to, or shall, bring any claim of any kind whatsoever against the Agent with respect to Unintentional Overadvances regardless of the amount of any such Overadvance(s).

SECTION 2.03 Swing Line Advances.

(a) The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03, may in its sole discretion make loans (each such loan, a “Swing Line Advance”) to the Borrowers on such terms (subject to Section 2.07(b)) as may be agreed between the Swing Line Lender and the Parent Borrower from time to time, on any Business Day during Availability Period in Dollars or, if to a Canadian Borrower, Dollars or Canadian Dollars in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Advances, when aggregated with the Commitment Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Advances and L/C Obligations of a Lender acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Swing Line Advance, (i) the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the Loan Cap, (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Revolving Credit Advances made to the Canadian Borrowers shall not exceed the Canadian Sublimit, and (iii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Advances of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the

Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Advances shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment, and provided, further, that no Borrower shall use the proceeds of any Swing Line Advance to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Advance. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers may borrow under this Section 2.03, prepay under Section 2.10, and reborrow under this Section 2.03. Immediately upon the request of the Swing Line Lender, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the applicable Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Advance in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage times the amount of such Swing Line Advance.

(b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the irrevocable notice by a Borrower to the Swing Line Lender and the Agent, which may be given by (x) telephone or (y) by a Swing Line Advance Notice; provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Agent of a Swing Line Advance Notice. Each such Swing Line Advance Notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Agent not later than, in the case of Swing Line Advances, 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $500,000 or CND$500,000, as applicable, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Advance Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Agent has also received such Swing Line Advance Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Agent (including at the request of any Lender) prior to 3:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Advance as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.03(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article V is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender may, not later than 4:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Advance Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Advance available to the applicable Borrower at its office by crediting the account of such Borrower on the books of the Swing Line Lender in immediately available funds.

(i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole discretion may request, on behalf of the applicable Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Lender make an Index Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the amount of Swing Line Advances then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Committed Advance Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples

specified therein for the principal amount of Index Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 5.02. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish Parent Borrower and the applicable Borrower with a copy of the applicable Committed Advance Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Agent. Each Lender shall make an amount equal to its Commitment Percentage of the amount specified in such Committed Advance Notice available to the Agent in immediately available funds (and the Agent may apply Cash Collateral available with respect to the applicable Swing Line Advance) for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Committed Advance Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.03(c)(ii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made an Index Rate Loan to the applicable Borrower in such amount. The Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Advance cannot be refinanced by such a Committed Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.03(c)(i), the request for Index Rate Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Advance and each Lender’s payment to the Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

(iii) If any Lender fails to make available to the Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Rate, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Credit Advance included in the relevant Committed Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Swing Line Advance, as the case may be. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iv) Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Advances or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Advances pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or

continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Advances pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.02. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of any Borrower to repay Swing Line Advances, together with interest as provided herein.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after any Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Advance, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Advance, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its Commitment Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Advance is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.09 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Commitment Percentage thereof on demand of the Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Overnight Rate. The Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing Parent Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Advances. Until each Lender funds its Index Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.03 to refinance such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of any Swing Line Advance, interest in respect of such Commitment Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.

(f) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Borrowers shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Advances directly to the Swing Line Lender.

SECTION 2.04 Letters of Credit.

(a) The Letter of Credit Commitment.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) each Issuing Bank agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04 and within the limits of its Issuing Commitment, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Restatement Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit denominated in

Dollars, any Alternative Currency or such other currency as maybe agreed by such Issuing Bank in its sole discretion and the Agent that is a lawful currency readily available and freely transferable and convertible into Dollars (which additional currency, solely for purposes of the applicable Letter of Credit, the drawings thereunder and the reimbursement thereof, shall be deemed to be an “Alternative Currency”) for the account of Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and to amend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with subsection (b) below, and (2) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit; and (B) the Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries and any drawings thereunder; provided that after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, (1) the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings shall not exceed the Loan Cap, (2) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Advances of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Advances, plus such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, (3) the L/C Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit issued in Alternative Currencies shall not exceed the Alternative Currency Sublimit, (4) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all Revolving Credit Advances made to the Canadian Borrowers shall not exceed the Canadian Sublimit, and (5) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit. Each request by a Borrower for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by such Borrower that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the ability of the Borrowers 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. All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto, and from and after the Restatement Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof. Each Issuing Bank may, in its discretion, arrange for one or more Letters of Credit to be issued by Affiliates or branches of such Issuing Bank, in which case the term “Issuing Bank” shall include any such Affiliate or branch with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such Affiliate or branch.

(ii) No Issuing Bank shall issue any Letter of Credit, if:

(1) subject to Section 2.04(b)(iii), the expiry date of the requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance, or, in the case of any Letter of Credit denominated in Indian rupees, nineteen months after the date of issuance, unless the Majority Lenders have approved such expiry date; or

(2) the expiry date of the requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the Lenders have approved such expiry date.

(iii) No Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

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

(2) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally;

(3) except as otherwise agreed by the Agent and such Issuing Bank, such Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $20,000;

(4) such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars or an Alternative Currency;

(5) any Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless such Issuing Bank has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to such Issuing Bank (in its sole discretion) with the applicable Borrower or such Lender to eliminate such Issuing Bank’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.14(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from such Letter of Credit; or

(6) the Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder.

(iv) The applicable Issuing Bank shall not amend any Letter of Credit if such Issuing Bank would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof.

(v) The applicable Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) such Issuing Bank would have no obligation at such time to issue the Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

(vi) The applicable Issuing Bank shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and such Issuing Bank shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Agent in Article IX with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such Issuing Bank in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Agent” as used in Article IX included such Issuing Bank with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to such Issuing Bank.

(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit.

(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of any Borrower delivered to an Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of such Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the applicable Issuing Bank and the Agent (x) not later than 11:00 a.m. at least two Business Days prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be, of any Letter of Credit denominated in Dollars, and (y) not later than 11:00 a.m. at least five Business Days prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be, of any Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency; or in each case such later date and time as such Issuing Bank may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion, prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount and currency thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G) the purpose and nature of the requested Letter of Credit; and (H) such other matters as such Issuing Bank may reasonably require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank (1) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (2) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (3) the nature of the proposed amendment; and

(4) such other matters as such Issuing Bank may reasonably require. Additionally, Parent Borrower and/or the applicable Subsidiary shall furnish to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as such Issuing Bank or the Agent may reasonably require.

(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the applicable Issuing Bank will confirm with the Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from a Borrower and, if not, such Issuing Bank will provide the Agent with a copy thereof. Unless such Issuing Bank has received written notice from any Lender, the Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article V shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such Issuing Bank shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of such Borrower (or the applicable Subsidiary subject to Section 2.04(l)) or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with such Issuing Bank’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from such Issuing Bank a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit.

(iii) If the applicable Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the such Issuing Bank to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the applicable Issuing Bank, neither Parent Borrower nor any Subsidiary shall be required to make a specific request to such Issuing Bank for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable Issuing Bank to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that such Issuing Bank shall not permit any such extension if (A) such Issuing Bank has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.04(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-

Extension Notice Date (1) from the Agent that the Majority Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Agent, any Lender, Parent Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5.02 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing such Issuing Bank not to permit such extension.

(iv) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the applicable Issuing Bank will also deliver to the applicable Borrower or Subsidiary and the Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall notify the applicable Borrower and/or Subsidiary and the Agent thereof. In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such Issuing Bank in such Alternative Currency, unless (A) the applicable Issuing Bank (at its option) shall have specified in such notice that it will require reimbursement in Dollars, or (B) in the absence of any such requirement for reimbursement in Dollars, the applicable Borrower shall have notified such Issuing Bank promptly following receipt of the notice of drawing that such Borrower or applicable Subsidiary will reimburse such Issuing Bank in Dollars. In the case of any such reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing under a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, such Issuing Bank shall notify the applicable Borrower and/or Subsidiary of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing promptly following the determination thereof. If an Issuing Bank shall make any payment under a Letter of Credit, the applicable Borrower or Subsidiary shall reimburse such Issuing Bank through the Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing and in the applicable currency not later than 2:00 p.m. (or the Applicable Time in the case of reimbursement in an Alternative Currency) on the date the applicable Borrower or Subsidiary receives notice of such payment by the applicable Issuing Bank (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the applicable Borrower or Subsidiary shall reimburse such Issuing Bank through the Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If the applicable Borrower or Subsidiary fails to so reimburse such Issuing Bank by such time, the Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (expressed in Dollars in the amount of the Dollar Equivalent thereof in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency) (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage thereof. In such event, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Index Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in

Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Index Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (other than the delivery of a Committed Advance Notice). Any notice given by such Issuing Bank or the Agent pursuant to this Section 2.04(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(ii) Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) make funds available (and the Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this purpose) for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, in Dollars, at the Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Commitment Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.04(c)(iii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Advance to the applicable U.S. Borrower or a Canadian Prime Rate Advance or Canadian Base Rate Advance to the applicable Canadian Borrower, as applicable, in such amount. The Agent shall remit the funds so received to such Issuing Bank in Dollars or Canadian Dollars, as applicable.

(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Advances, Canadian Base Rate Advances or Canadian Prime Rate Advances because the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable Issuing Bank an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on written demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Lender’s payment to the Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.04.

(iv) Until each Lender funds its Revolving Credit Advance or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of such Issuing Bank.

(v) Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Advances or L/C Advances to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.04(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against such Issuing Bank, any Borrower, any other Subsidiary or any other

Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Advances pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 (other than delivery by a Borrower of a Committed Advance Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the applicable Borrower and/or Subsidiary to reimburse such Issuing Bank for the amount of any payment made by such Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(vi) If any Lender fails to make available to the Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(ii), then, without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, such Issuing Bank shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Issuing Bank at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such Issuing Bank in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Credit Advance included in the relevant Revolving Credit Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of such Issuing Bank submitted to any Lender (through the Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after an Issuing Bank has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.04(c), if the Agent receives for the account of such Issuing Bank any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from any Borrower, any Subsidiary or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Agent), the Agent will distribute to such Lender its Commitment Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Agent.

(ii) If any payment received by the Agent for the account of an Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Issuing Bank in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank its Commitment Percentage thereof on demand of the Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the

date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrowers and the applicable Subsidiaries to reimburse an Issuing Bank for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document;

(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that any Borrower or any other Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), an Issuing Bank or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

(iv) any payment by an Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by an Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver, interim receiver, monitor, or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law;

(v) any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of the relevant Alternative Currency to any Borrower or any other Subsidiary or in the relevant currency markets generally; or

(vi) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Borrower or any other Subsidiary.

The applicable Borrower and/or Subsidiary shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the instructions of such Borrower or Subsidiary or other irregularity, the applicable Borrower and/or Subsidiary will immediately notify the applicable Issuing Bank. The Borrowers and their Subsidiaries shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the applicable Issuing Bank and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

(f) Role of Issuing Banks. Each Lender and each Borrower agrees, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, an Issuing Bank shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the Issuing Banks, the Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of an Issuing Bank shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Majority Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries hereby assume all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit issued at its request; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the Issuing Banks, the Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of an Issuing Bank shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 2.04(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, Parent Borrower or its Subsidiaries may have a claim against an Issuing Bank, and such Issuing Bank may be liable to Parent Borrower or its Subsidiaries, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary which Parent Borrower or such Subsidiary proves were caused by such Issuing Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such Issuing Bank’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, an Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and such Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

100

(g) Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable Issuing Bank and the applicable Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance (the “UCP”) shall apply to each Trade Letter of Credit.

(h) Letter of Credit Fees. The applicable Borrower and/or Subsidiary shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Commitment Percentage a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) (i) for each Trade Letter of Credit, equal to 50% of the Applicable Margin for Contract Rate Loans times the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, and (ii) for each Standby Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Margin for Contract Rate Loans times the Dollar Equivalent of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit; provided, however, any Letter of Credit Fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash Collateral satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.04 shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Requirement of Law, to the other Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Commitment Percentages allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.14(a)(iv), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to such Issuing Bank for its own account. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.07. Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) due and payable in arrears on the first day of each February, May, August and November, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on written demand and (ii) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. If there is any change in the Applicable Standby Letter of Credit Fee during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each Standby Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Standby Letter of Credit Fee separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Standby Letter of Credit Fee was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the request of the Majority Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate.

(i) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to Issuing Banks. The applicable Borrower and/or Subsidiary shall pay directly to the applicable Issuing Bank for its own account a fronting fee (i) with respect to each Trade Letter of Credit, at the rate per annum equal to 0.25%, computed on the amount of such Letter of Credit, and payable upon the issuance thereof, (ii) with respect to any amendment of a Trade Letter of Credit increasing the amount of such Letter of Credit, at a rate separately agreed between Parent Borrower and such Issuing Bank, computed on the amount of such increase, and payable upon the effectiveness of such amendment, and (iii) with respect to each Standby Letter of Credit, at the rate per annum equal to 0.25%, computed on the

101

daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit on a quarterly basis in arrears Such fronting fee shall be due and payable on the first day of each February, May, August and November in respect of the most recently-ended quarterly period (or portion thereof, in the case of the first payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on written demand. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.07. In addition, the applicable Borrower or, in the case of any Letter of Credit issued at the request of a Subsidiary, such Subsidiary shall pay directly to each Issuing Bank for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such Issuing Bank relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

(j) Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.

(k) Monthly Report. Each Issuing Bank, on the last Business Day of each month until the Termination Date, shall calculate the L/C Obligations on such date in respect of Letters of Credit issued by it (converting any amounts of the L/C Obligations which are denominated in an Alternative Currency to Dollars for purposes of such calculation) and shall promptly send notice of such L/C Obligations to the Agent, the Parent Borrower and each Lender, and the Agent shall then determine the excess amount, if any, referred to in the first sentence of Section 2.10(b)(i) or (ii) and shall promptly inform the Parent Borrower of such amount and the Parent Borrower shall promptly upon receipt thereof make the payments provided for in Section 2.10(b)(i) or (ii) above if applicable.

(l) Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, the Borrowers shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrowers hereby acknowledge that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of Borrowers, and that the Borrowers’ business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

SECTION 2.05 Fees. (a) Commitment Fee. The Borrowers agree to pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Commitment Percentage, a commitment fee equal to (x) for the period from and after the Restatement Date until the last day of the calendar quarter ending after the completion of two full Fiscal Quarters of Parent Borrower occurring after the Restatement Date, 0.375% per annum, and (y) thereafter, the Unused Commitment Fee Rate, in each case multiplied by the actual daily amount by which the Aggregate Commitments exceed the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings. The commitment fee shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period, including at any time during which one or

102

more of the conditions in Article V is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each February, May, August and November, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Restatement Date, and on the last day of the Availability Period.

(b) Other Fees. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay the fees and charges referred to in that certain agency fee letter agreement, dated as of the Restatement Date, among the Agent and Parent Borrower.

SECTION 2.06 Reduction and Increase of the Revolving Credit Commitments; Additional Issuing Banks.

(a) Parent Borrower may, upon notice to the Agent, terminate the unused portions of the Letter of Credit Sublimit, the Swing Line Sublimit, or the unused Revolving Credit Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the unused portions of the Letter of Credit Sublimit, the Swing Line Sublimit, or the unused Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. four Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (iii) Parent Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the unused portions of the Letter of Credit Sublimit, the Swing Line Sublimit, or the unused Revolving Credit Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings would exceed the Loan Cap and (iv) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the unused Revolving Credit Commitments, the Alternative Currency Sublimit, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments, such Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess. The Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of Commitments. A notice provided by Parent Borrower under this clause (a) may state that such notice is conditioned upon the availability of other financing, in which case such notice may be revoked by Parent Borrower (by notice to the Agent prior to the specified date of such termination or reduction) if such condition is not satisfied. The amount of any such Revolving Credit Commitment reduction shall not be applied to the Alternative Currency Sublimit, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit unless otherwise specified by Parent Borrower. Any reduction of any Commitments shall be applied to the Commitment of each applicable Lender according to its Commitment Percentage. All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of any Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

(b) Parent Borrower shall have the right, at any time and from time to time after the Restatement Date and prior to the Termination Date to (i) increase the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments, which increased Revolving Credit Commitments shall be provided by one or more Lenders (subject to the consent of such Lenders in their sole and absolute discretion) or Assuming Lenders (provided that any such Assuming Lender shall be subject to the consent of the Agent and the Issuing Banks in their sole and absolute discretion) (any such increase, “Additional Revolving Commitments”), (ii) increase the Issuing Commitment of an Issuing Bank (subject to the consent of such Issuing Bank in its sole and absolute discretion) and (iii) establish a new class of term

103

loans under this Agreement on a “last-out” basis (any such term loans established in accordance with this Section 2.06(b), “FILO Term Loans”), which FILO Term Loans shall be provided by one or more Lenders (subject to the consent of such Lenders in their sole and absolute discretion) or Assuming Lender (provided that any such Assuming Lender shall be subject to the consent of the Agent and the Issuing Banks in their sole and absolute discretion) (each such increase or incurrence under clause (i), (ii) or (iii) being a “Commitment Increase”), on and subject to the following terms:

(i) The aggregate amount of Commitment Increases in the form of Additional Revolving Commitments and/or FILO Term Loans shall not exceed the sum of (x) $500,000,000 plus (y) an amount equal to the difference between $2,000,000,000 and the Aggregate Commitments on the Restatement Date; provided, that the aggregate amount of FILO Term Loans established pursuant to this Section 2.06(b) shall not exceed $100,000,000 in the aggregate.

(ii) The amount of each Commitment Increase by any Lender or any Assuming Lender shall be in a minimum amount of $50,000,000 or an integral multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof.

(iii) Any such Commitment Increase in the form of Additional Revolving Commitments above shall be on the same terms as the Revolving Credit Commitments, except with respect to (x) any commitment, arrangement, upfront, or similar fees payable in connection therewith and (y) subject to the immediately succeeding clause (iv), interest rates or unused fees.

(iv) In no event shall the interest rates or unused fees to be payable in connection with any Additional Revolving Commitments be higher than the amounts paid to the then existing Lenders in respect of their applicable Revolving Credit Commitments, unless such increased interest rates or unused fees, as applicable, are also to be paid to all then existing Lenders in respect of their applicable Revolving Credit Commitments.

(v) No proposed Commitment Increase in the form of Additional Revolving Commitments shall occur unless each of the following requirements in respect thereof shall have been satisfied:

(1) The Agent shall have received from Parent Borrower an irrevocable written notice (a “Commitment Increase Notice”), dated not later than 10 days (or such shorter period agreed to by the Agent) before such proposed Commitment Increase Effective Date, that (1) specifies (w) (if applicable) the proposed Issuing Commitment increase of each Issuing Bank and/or of the Lenders which are to become Issuing Banks and the amount of each Issuing Bank’s Issuing Commitment after giving effect thereto, (x) the aggregate amount of the proposed Commitment Increase, (y) the Lenders whose Revolving Credit Commitments are to be increased by the proposed Commitment Increase and/or the Assuming Lenders which are to become Lenders and the amount by which

(2) On and as of the Commitment Increase Effective Date of the proposed Commitment Increase (1) the following statements shall be true (and the giving of the applicable Commitment Increase Notice shall constitute a representation and warranty by Parent Borrower that on such Commitment Increase Effective Date such statements are true):

(x) The representations and warranties contained in Section 6.01 are correct on and as of such Commitment Increase Effective Date before and after giving effect to the proposed Commitment Increase, as though made on and as of such date, except to the extent that any such representation or warranty is stated to relate to an earlier date, in which case such representation or warranty shall be correct on and as of such earlier date; and

(y) No event has occurred and is continuing, or would result from such Commitment Increase, which constitutes an Event of Default or Default; and

(z) The Agent shall have received such other approvals, opinions or documents as the Agent may reasonably request.

(vi) No proposed Commitment Increase in the form of FILO Term Loans shall occur unless each of the following requirements in respect thereof shall have been satisfied:

(2) Such FILO Term Loans shall not have a maturity date earlier than the Termination Date;

(3) Such FILO Term Loans shall not provide for any amortization or mandatory prepayments prior to the maturity thereof except for customary amortization and mandatory prepayments reasonably acceptable to the Agent;

(4) Such FILO Term Loans may provide for incremental advance rates different from those set forth in the definition of “Borrowing Base” so long as

105

such advance rates do not permit the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings plus the aggregate principal amount of the FILO Term Loans to exceed the Borrowing Base that would result on such date if each of the advance rates set forth in the definition of “Borrowing Base” were 95%;

(5) FILO Term Loans may not be repaid or prepaid other than to the extent set forth in clause (3) above and (x) in connection with a termination of all of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full in cash (or cash collateralization, as applicable) of all Revolving Credit Advances, Swing Line Loans and L/C Obligations and (y) at any time when the Payment Conditions to make a Restricted Payment are satisfied;

(6) On and as of the Commitment Increase Effective Date of the proposed Commitment Increase, the following statements shall be true (and the giving of the applicable Commitment Increase Notice shall constitute a representation and warranty by Parent Borrower that on such Commitment Increase Effective Date such statements are true):

(y) No event has occurred and is continuing, or would result from such Commitment Increase, which constitutes an Event of Default or Default; and

(z) The Agent shall have received such other approvals, opinions or documents as the Agent may reasonably request; and

(7) Each of the other terms and conditions applicable to the FILO Term Loans shall be acceptable to the Agent.

(vii) Promptly following its receipt of a Commitment Increase Notice in proper form, the Agent shall deliver copies thereof to each Lender and Issuing Bank. If, and only if, all of the terms, conditions and requirements specified in paragraphs (i) through (iii) are satisfied in respect of any proposed Commitment Increase on and as of the proposed Commitment Increase Effective Date thereof and in the case of each such Assuming Lender, an Assumption Agreement, duly executed by such Assuming Lender, the Agent and the Parent Borrower, has been received by the Agent, then, as of such Commitment Increase Effective Date and from and after such date, (1) the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders consenting to such Commitment Increase shall be increased by the respective

106

amounts specified in the Commitment Increase Notice pertaining thereto, (2) references herein to the amounts of the Lenders’ respective Revolving Credit Commitments shall refer to respective amounts giving effect to such Commitment Increase, and (3) each such Assuming Lender shall be a Lender and an Issuing Bank, if applicable, for all purposes hereof, and the Agent shall record all relevant information with respect to such Assuming Lender and its Revolving Credit Commitment and, if applicable, with respect to the increased Issuing Commitment of an Issuing Bank in the Register;

(viii) It is understood that no Lender shall have any obligation whatsoever to agree to any request made by Parent Borrower for a Commitment Increase;

(ix) As part of such Commitment Increase in the form of Additional Revolving Commitments, such Lender or Assuming Lender shall purchase assignments in the Revolving Credit Advances and Revolving Credit Commitments of the other Lenders so that after giving effect thereto, the percentage held by each Lender of the Aggregate Commitments is the same as prior to such Commitment Increase and such Lender or Assuming Lender shall have acquired a ratable participation in all Swing Line Advances as contemplated by Section 2.03(c)). In connection therewith, on each Commitment Increase Effective Date, (A) each Lender whose Revolving Credit Commitment has been increased (each such Lender being an “Increasing Lender”) shall, before 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Commitment Increase Effective Date, make available for the account of its Lending Office to the Agent at the address specified in Section 10.02, in same day funds, an amount equal to the excess of (1) such Increasing Lender’s ratable portion of the Revolving Credit Advances then outstanding (calculated based on its Revolving Credit Commitment as a percentage of the Aggregate Commitments of the Lenders (including each such Assuming Lender) outstanding after giving effect to the relevant Commitment Increase) over (2) the aggregate principal amount of then outstanding Revolving Credit Advances made by such Increasing Lender and (B) each such Assuming Lender shall before 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Commitment Increase Effective Date, make available for the account of its Lending Office to the Agent at the address specified in Section 10.02 in same day funds, an amount equal to such Assuming Lender’s ratable portion of the Revolving Credit Advances then outstanding (calculated based on its Revolving Credit Commitment as a percentage of the Aggregate Commitments of the Lenders (including each such Assuming Lender) outstanding after giving effect to the relevant Commitment Increase); and

(x) After the Agent’s receipt of such funds from each such Increasing Lender and such Assuming Lender, the Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds to the other Lenders for the account of their respective Lending Offices in an amount to each other Lender such that the aggregate

107

amount of the outstanding Revolving Credit Advances owing to each Lender (including each such Assuming Lender) after giving effect to such distribution equals such Lender’s ratable portion of the Revolving Credit Advances then outstanding (calculated based on its Revolving Credit Commitment as a percentage of the Aggregate Commitments of the Lenders outstanding after giving effect to the relevant Commitment Increase).

(c) Parent Borrower may at any time, upon at least five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent and the Lenders or as part of a proposed Commitment Increase pursuant to this Section 2.06, designate (i) as an Issuing Bank any Lender that has agreed in writing to act as an Issuing Bank and (ii) the Issuing Commitment of such Lender. Thereupon, any Lender so designated as an Issuing Bank shall thenceforth issue Letters of Credit on the terms and subject to the conditions herein, and the Agent shall record all relevant information with respect to such Lender as such Issuing Bank in the Register.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that this Agreement shall be amended to the extent necessary to reflect the existence and terms of any Commitment Increases incurred pursuant to this Section 2.06. Any such amendment may be effected in writing by the Agent and the Loan Parties and furnished to the other parties hereto.

(b) Swing Line Advances. The applicable Borrower shall repay the Swing Line Lender and each Lender that has made a Swing Line Advance for the account of such Borrower, on the earlier of (i) the date that is ten (10) days after the date of such Advance and (ii) the Termination Date, the principal amount of each such Swing Line Advance made to such Borrower by the Swing Line Lender and each such Lender and outstanding on such date.

SECTION 2.08 Interest on Advances. Each Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance made to it by each Lender from the date of such Advance until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum:

(a) Index Rate Loans. If such Advance is an Index Rate Loan, a rate per annum equal at all times to the sum of (x) the Base Rate, Canadian Base Rate or Canadian Prime Rate, as applicable, in effect from time to time plus (y) the respective Applicable Margin in effect from time to time, payable quarterly on the first day of each February, May, August and November.

(b) Contract Rate Loans. If such Advance is a Contract Rate Loan, a rate per annum equal at all times during each Interest Period for such Advance to the sum of (x) the Eurocurrency Rate or BA Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period plus (y) the

108

respective Applicable Margin in effect from time to time, payable on the last day of such Interest Period and, if such Interest Period has a duration of more than three months, on each day which occurs during such Interest Period every three months from the first day of such Interest Period.

(d) Default Interest. (i) If any amount of principal of any Advance is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirement of Law.

(i) If any amount (other than principal of any Advance) payable by any Borrower under any Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the request of the Majority Lenders, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirement of Law.

(ii) Upon the request of the Majority Lenders or the Agent (or, in the case of any Event of Default under Section 8.01(e), automatically), while any Event of Default exists, the Parent Borrower or the applicable Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirement of Law.

(iii) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon written demand.

(e) The applicable Borrower shall pay to each Lender, so long as such Lender shall be required under regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency Liabilities, additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurocurrency Rate Advance of such Lender, from the date of such Advance until such principal amount is paid in full, at an interest rate per annum equal at all times to the remainder obtained by subtracting (i) the Eurocurrency Rate for the Interest Period for such Advance from (ii) the rate obtained by dividing such Eurocurrency Rate by a percentage equal to 100% minus the Eurocurrency Rate Reserve Percentage of such Lender for such Interest Period, payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Advance. Such additional interest shall be determined by such Lender and notified to the Parent Borrower and the applicable Borrower through the Agent.

SECTION 2.09 Interest Rate Determination. (a) The Agent shall give prompt notice to the Parent Borrower, the applicable Borrower and the Lenders of the applicable interest rate determined by the Agent for purposes of Section 2.08(a) or (b).

(b) (i) If the Majority Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Contract Period Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) as regards Eurocurrency Rate Loans, deposits (whether in Dollars or an Alternative Currency) are not being offered to banks in the applicable offshore interbank market for such currency for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurocurrency Rate Advance, (b) as regards BA Rate Advances, bankers’ acceptances are not being offered to banks in the Canadian interbank market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such BA Rate Advance, (c) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurocurrency Base Rate or BA Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Advance or BA Rate Advance, respectively (whether denominated in Dollars or an Alternative Currency), or (d) the Eurocurrency Base Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Advance or the BA Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed BA Rate Advance does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Eurocurrency Rate Advance or BA Rate Advance, the Agent will promptly so notify the Parent Borrower, each applicable Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Advances in the affected currency or currencies or BA Rate Advances, as applicable shall be suspended until the Agent (upon the instruction of the Majority Lenders) revokes such notice and all outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall automatically be converted to Base Rate Advances or as regards Canadian Borrowers, Canadian Base Rate Advances. Upon receipt of such notice, any Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Contract Rate Loans in the affected currency or currencies or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of applicable Index Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Parent Borrower or Majority Lenders notify the Agent (with, in the case of the Majority Lenders, a copy to the Parent Borrower) that the Parent Borrower or Majority Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:

(A) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for any requested Interest Period, including, without limitation, because the LIBOR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or

(B) the administrator of the LIBOR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which LIBOR or the LIBOR Screen Rate shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans;

110

provided that, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to the Agent that will continue to provide LIBOR after such specific date (such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”), or

(C) syndicated loans currently being executed, or that include language similar to that contained in this Section, are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace LIBOR,

then, reasonably promptly after such determination by the Agent or receipt by the Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Agent and Parent Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace LIBOR with (x) one or more SOFR-Based Rates or (y) another alternate benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such benchmarks, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published on an information service as selected by the Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated (the “Adjustment;” and any such proposed rate, a “LIBOR Successor Rate”), and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after the Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and Parent Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Majority Lenders have delivered to the Agent written notice that such Majority Lenders (A) in the case of an amendment to replace LIBOR with a rate described in clause (x), object to the Adjustment; or (B) in the case of an amendment to replace LIBOR with a rate described in clause (y), object to such amendment; provided that for the avoidance of doubt, in the case of clause (A), the Majority Lenders shall not be entitled to object to any SOFR-Based Rate contained in any such amendment. Such LIBOR Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Agent, such LIBOR Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Agent.

If no LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under clause (A) above exist or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable), the Agent will promptly so notify the Parent Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be suspended and all outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall automatically be converted to Base Rate Advances or as regards Canadian Borrowers, Canadian Base Rate Advances, (to the extent of the affected Eurocurrency Rate Advances or Interest Periods), and (y) the Eurocurrency Rate component shall no longer be utilized in determining the Base Rate or the Canadian Base Rate. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Advances (to the extent of the affected Eurocurrency Rate Advances or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a

111

request for a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Advances or as regards Canadian Borrowers, Canadian Base Rate Advances (subject, in each case, to the foregoing clause (y)) in the amount specified therein.

Notwithstanding anything else herein, any definition of LIBOR Successor Rate shall provide that in no event shall such LIBOR Successor Rate be less than 0.75% for purposes of this Agreement.

In connection with the implementation of a LIBOR Successor Rate, the Agent will have the right to make LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement; provided that the Agent shall post such amendment to the Lenders (which may be posted to the Electronic System) reasonably promptly after the effectiveness thereof.

As used above:

“LIBOR Screen Rate” means the LIBOR quote on the applicable screen page the Agent designates to determine LIBOR (or such other commercially available source providing such quotations as may be designated by the Agent from time to time).

“LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate, any conforming changes to the definition of Base Rate, Interest Period, timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest and other technical, administrative or operational matters as may be appropriate, in the discretion of the Agent, to reflect the adoption and implementation of such LIBOR Successor Rate and to permit the administration thereof by the Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Agent determines that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or that no market practice for the administration of such LIBOR Successor Rate exists, in such other manner of administration as the Agent determines is reasonably necessary in consultation with the Parent Borrower in connection with the administration of this Agreement).

“Relevant Governmental Body” means the Federal Reserve Board and/or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or a committee officially endorsed or convened by the Federal Reserve Board and/or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York for the purpose of recommending a benchmark rate to replace LIBOR in loan agreements similar to this Agreement.

“SOFR” with respect to any day means the secured overnight financing rate published for such day by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, as the administrator of the benchmark (or a successor administrator) on the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s website (or any successor source) and, in each case, that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body.

112

“SOFR-Based Rate” means SOFR or Term SOFR.

“Term SOFR” means the forward-looking term rate for any period that is approximately (as determined by the Agent) as long as any of the Interest Period options set forth in the definition of “Interest Period” and that is based on SOFR and that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body, in each case as published on an information service as selected by the Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion.

(c) On the date on which the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Advances comprising any Borrowing shall be reduced, by payment or prepayment or otherwise, to less than $10,000,000, such Advances shall, if they are Advances of a Type other than Base Rate Advances or Canadian Base Rate Advances, automatically Convert on the last day of the Interest Period with respect to such Advance into Base Rate Advances or Canadian Base Rate Advances, as applicable, and on and after such date the right of any Borrower to Convert such Advances into Advances of a Type other than Base Rate Advances or Canadian Base Rate Advances shall terminate; provided, however, that if and so long as each such Advance shall be of the same Type and have the same Interest Period as Advances comprising another Borrowing or other Borrowings, and the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all such Advances shall equal or exceed $5,000,000, the Borrowers shall have the right to continue all such Advances as, or to Convert all such Advances into, Advances of such Type having such Interest Period.

(d) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, (i) each Eurocurrency Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, convert into a Base Rate Advance or Canadian Base Rate Advance, as applicable, (ii) each BA Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, convert into a Canadian Prime Rate Advance as regards a Canadian Borrower and shall be repaid as regards a U.S. Borrower and (iii) the obligations of the Lenders to make, or to convert Advances into, Index Rate Loans will be suspended.

(e) All computations of interest for Base Rate Advances (including Base Rate Advances determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate) shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed and all computations of interest for Canadian Base Rate Advances (including Canadian Base Rate Advances determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate), Canadian Prime Rate advances and BA Rate Advances shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 days 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) (or, in each case of Advances denominated in Alternative Currencies where market practice differs, in accordance with market practice). Interest shall accrue on each Advance for the day on which the Advance is made, and shall not accrue on an Advance, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Advance or such portion is paid, provided that any Advance that

113

is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 4.01(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. Whenever interest or fees payable by a Canadian Loan Party are calculated on the basis of a period which is less than the actual number of days in a calendar year, each rate of interest and fee determined pursuant to such calculation is, for the purpose of the Interest Act (Canada), equivalent to such rate multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which such rate is to be ascertained and divided by the number of days used as the basis of such calculation. The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement, and the rates of interest stipulated in this Agreement are intended to be nominal rates and not effective rates or yields. Each Canadian Loan Party confirms that it fully understands and is able to calculate the rate of interest applicable to its Obligations based on the methodology for calculating per annum rates provided for in this Agreement and each Canadian Loan Party hereby irrevocably agrees not to plead or assert, whether by way of defense or otherwise, in any proceeding relating to this Agreement or to any other Loan Documents, that the interest payable under this Agreement and the calculation thereof has not been adequately disclosed to the Canadian Loan Parties as required pursuant to Section 4 of the Interest Act (Canada).

SECTION 2.10 Prepayments of Advances.

(a) Optional. (i) Any Borrower may, upon notice to the Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Advances made to it in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (A) such notice must be in a form acceptable to the Agent and received by the Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (x) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Advances denominated in Dollars or prior to any date of prepayment of BA Rate Advances, (y) four Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Advances denominated in Alternative Currencies, and (z) on the date of prepayment of Index Rate Loans; (B) any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Advances denominated in Dollars shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and any prepayment of BA Rate Advances shall be in a principal amount of CND$5,000,000 or a whole multiple of CND$1,000,000 in excess thereof; (C) any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Advances denominated in Alternative Currencies shall be in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; and (D) any prepayment of Base Rate Advances or Canadian Base Rate Advances shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and any prepayment of Canadian Prime Rate Advances shall be in a principal amount of CND$1,000,000 or a whole multiple of CND$1,000,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Advances to be prepaid and, if Contract Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Advances. The Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s ratable portion of such prepayment (based on such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the relevant Facility). If such notice is given by any

114

Borrower, such Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein; provided that such notice of prepayment may state that such prepayment is conditioned upon the availability of other financing, in which case such notice may be revoked by the applicable Borrower (by notice to the Agent prior to the specified date of such prepayment) if such condition is not satisfied (it being understood that any revocation by a Borrower of a notice of prepayment shall entitle the Lenders to any amounts as set forth in Section 10.04(b)). Any prepayment of a Contract Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 10.04(b). Each such prepayment shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages.

(ii) Any Borrower may, upon notice to the applicable Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Advances made to it in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (A) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment, and (B) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $500,000 or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by a Borrower, such Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.

(b) Mandatory. (i) If for any reason the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings exceed the Loan Cap as then in effect or the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings of the Canadian Borrowers exceed the Canadian Sublimit then in effect, the Borrowers shall promptly (and in any event, within one (1) Business Day) prepay, or cause to be repaid, Revolving Credit Advances, Swing Line Advances, Unreimbursed Amounts and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided, however, that, the Parent Borrower shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) unless after the prepayment in full of the Revolving Credit Advances, Swing Line Advances and Unreimbursed Amounts the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings exceed the Loan Cap as then in effect. Upon notice by Parent Borrower to the Agent, the Agent shall release any Cash Collateral to the Parent Borrower to the extent that, after such a release, the Total Revolving Credit Outstandings at such time shall not exceed the Loan Cap.

(ii) If the Agent notifies Parent Borrower at any time that the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Advances and Letters of Credit denominated in Alternative Currencies at such time exceed the Alternative Currency Sublimit then in effect, then, within five Business Days after receipt of such notice, the Borrowers shall prepay, or cause to be prepaid, Revolving Credit Advances, Unreimbursed Amounts and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such excess; provided, however, that, Parent Borrower shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.10(b) unless after the

115

prepayment in full of the Revolving Credit Advances and Unreimbursed Amounts the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Advances and Letters of Credit denominated in Alternative Currencies.

(iii) Prepayments of the Revolving Credit Facility by any Borrower made pursuant to this Section 2.10(b), first, shall be applied ratably to the Unreimbursed Amounts and the Swing Line Advances owing by such Borrower, second, shall be applied ratably to the outstanding Revolving Credit Advances owing by such Borrower, and, third, shall be used to Cash Collateralize the remaining L/C Obligations of such Borrower. Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit that has been Cash Collateralized, the funds held as Cash Collateral shall be applied (without any further action by or notice to or from the Parent Borrower or any other Loan Party) to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank or the Lenders, as applicable

SECTION 2.11 Increased Costs. (a) If, at any time after the date of this Agreement, any change in any Laws (a “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 Party (except any reserve requirement included in the Eurocurrency Rate Reserve Percentage);

(ii) subject any Lender Party to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any Contract Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender Party in respect thereof (except for (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes); or

(iii) impose on any Lender Party or the London or Canadian interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Contract Rate Loans made by such 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 Lender of making or maintaining any Advance (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Advance), or to increase the cost to such Lender Party of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender Party hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, the Parent Borrower shall from time to time, upon written demand by such Lender Party (with a copy of such written demand to the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender Party additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender Party for such increased cost. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost setting forth the basis for the calculation of such increased costs, submitted to the Parent Borrower and the Agent by such Lender Party, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

116

(b) If, at any time after the date of this Agreement, any Lender Party determines that compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) affects or would affect the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Lender Party or any corporation controlling such Lender Party and that the amount of such capital or liquidity is increased by or based upon the existence of such Lender Party’s commitment to lend hereunder and other commitments of this type or the issuance of (or commitment to purchase of participations in) the Letters of Credit (or similar contingent obligations), then, upon written demand by such Lender Party (with a copy of such written demand to the Agent), the Parent Borrower shall immediately pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender Party, from time to time as specified by such Lender Party, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender Party or such corporation in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Lender Party reasonably determines such increase in capital or liquidity to be allocable to the existence of such Lender Party’s commitment hereunder. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Parent Borrower and the Agent by such Lender Party and setting forth the basis for the calculation of such amount shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a “Change in Law”, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

(d) Without affecting its rights under Sections 2.11(a) or 2.10(b) or any other provision of this Agreement, each Lender Party agrees that if there is any increase in any cost to or reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender Party with respect to which the Parent Borrower would be obligated to compensate such Lender Party pursuant to Sections 2.11(a) or 2.11(b), such Lender Party shall use reasonable efforts to select an alternative issuing office or Lending Office which would not result in any such increase in any cost to or reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender Party; provided, however, that no Lender Party shall be obligated to select an alternative issuing office or Lending Office if such Lender Party determines that (i) as a result of such selection such Lender Party would be in violation of any applicable Law, regulation, treaty, or guideline, or would incur additional costs or expenses or (ii) such selection would be inadvisable for regulatory reasons or inconsistent with the interests of such Lender Party.

(e) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender Party to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender Party’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Parent Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender Party pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions

117

suffered more than four months prior to the date that such Lender Party notifies the Parent Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender Party’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the four-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(f) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Parent Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Parent Borrower contained in this Section 2.11 shall survive the payment in full (after the Termination Date) of all Obligations.

SECTION 2.12 Illegality. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall notify the Agent that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation makes it unlawful or impossible, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Lending Office to perform any of its obligations hereunder or make, maintain or fund or change interest with respect to any Credit Extension or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate or the BA 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 or any Alternative Currency or bankers’ acceptances in the applicable interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Parent Borrower through the Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest with respect to any such Credit Extension or to make or continue BA Rate Advances or Eurocurrency Rate Advances in the affected currency or currencies or, in the case of Eurocurrency Rate Advances in Dollars, to convert Base Rate Advances or Canadian Base Rate Advances to Eurocurrency Rate Advances or, in the case of BA Rate Advances, to convert Canadian Prime Rate Advances to BA Rate Advances, shall be suspended, (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Advances or Canadian Base Rate Advances the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate or Canadian Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Advances or Canadian Base Rate Advances, as applicable, of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Agent without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate or Canadian Base Rate, as applicable, and (iii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Canadian Prime Rate Advances the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the BA Rate component of the Canadian Prime Rate, the interest rate on which Canadian Prime Rate Advances of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Agent without reference to the BA Rate component of the Canadian Prime Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Agent and the Parent Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrowers shall, within five (5) Business Days after written demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Agent), prepay or, if applicable and (1) such Advances are denominated in Dollars, convert all Eurocurrency Rate Advances of such Lender to Base Rate Advances or Canadian Base Rate Advances, as applicable (the interest rate on which Base Rate Advances or Canadian Base Rate Advances, as applicable of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Agent without

118

reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate or Canadian Base Rate, as applicable) or (2) convert all BA Rate Advances of such Lender to Canadian Prime Rate Advances (the interest rate on which Canadian Prime Rate Advances of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Agent without reference to the BA Rate component of the Canadian Prime Rate), in each case either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Contract Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Contract Rate Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate or the BA Rate, the Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate or the Canadian Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component thereof and compute the Canadian Prime Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the BA Rate component thereof in each case until the 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 Eurocurrency Rate or BA Rate, as applicable. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

(b) Without affecting its rights under Section 2.11(a) or under any other provision of this Agreement, each Lender agrees that if it becomes unlawful or impossible for such Lender to make, maintain or fund its Contract Rate Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to select an alternative Lending Office from which such Lender may maintain and give effect to its obligations under this Agreement with respect to making, funding and maintaining such Contract Rate Loans; provided, however, that no Lender shall be obligated to select an alternative Lending Office if such Lender determines that (i) as a result of such selection such Lender would be in violation of any applicable Law, regulation, or treaty, or would incur additional costs or expenses or (ii) such selection would be inadvisable for regulatory reasons or inconsistent with the interests of such Lender.

SECTION 2.13 Cash Collateral. (a) Certain Credit Support Events. Upon the request of the Agent or any Issuing Bank if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation in respect of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank for any reason remains outstanding, the Parent Borrower shall immediately Cash Collateralize, or cause to be Cash Collateralized, the then Outstanding Amount of all such L/C Obligations. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender and the aggregate unused Revolving Credit Commitments of the non-defaulting Lenders after taking into account the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Advances is insufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure, immediately upon the request of the Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender, the Parent Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.14(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(b) Grant of Security Interest. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Bank of America (which Cash Collateral may, at the direction

119

and sole risk of the Parent Borrower, be invested in Cash Equivalents that are pledged to the Agent). Each Loan Party, and to the extent provided by any Lender, such Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent and the Lender Parties (including the Swing Line Lender), and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.13(c). If at any time the Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the Parent Borrower or the relevant Defaulting Lender will, promptly upon demand by the Agent, pay or provide or, in the case of the Parent Borrower, cause to be paid or provided, to the Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.

(c) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.13 or Sections 2.03, 2.04, 2.10, 2.17 or 8.01 in respect of Letters of Credit or Swing Line Advances shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations, Swing Line Advances, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.

(d) Release. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 10.07(b)(vi))) or (ii) the Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, (x) that Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Loan Party shall not be released during the continuance of a Default under Section 8.01(a) or (e) or an Event of Default (and following application as provided in this Section 2.13 may be otherwise applied in accordance with Section 8.01), and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the applicable Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.

SECTION 2.14 Defaulting Lenders. (a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirement of Law:

120

(i) Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Majority Lenders.

(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.08), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by the Agent or requested by any Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender, to be held as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Swing Line Advance or Letter of Credit; fourth, as the Parent Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Advance in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Agent and the Parent Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Advances under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lender Parties as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender Party against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to any Loan Party as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Loan Party against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Advances or L/C Borrowings in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Advances or L/C Borrowings were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Advances of, and L/C Borrowings owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Advances of, or L/C Borrowings owed to, that Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.14(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. That Defaulting Lender (x) shall be entitled to receive any facility fee pursuant to Section 2.05(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to extent allocable to the sum of (1) the Outstanding Amount of the Advances funded by it and (2) its Commitment Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit and Swing Line Advances for which it has provided Cash Collateral

121

pursuant to Section 2.03, Section 2.04, Section 2.13, or Section 2.14(a)(ii), as applicable (and Borrowers shall (A) be required to pay to each of the Issuing Banks and the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, the amount of such fee allocable to its Fronting Exposure arising from that Defaulting Lender and (B) not be required to pay the remaining amount of such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender) and (y) shall be limited in its right to receive Letter of Credit Fees as provided in Section 2.04(h).

(iv) Reallocation of Commitment Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Advances pursuant to Sections 2.03 and 2.04, the “Commitment Percentage” of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided, that the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Advances shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Advances of that Lender. Subject to Section 10.22, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(v) Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swing Line Advances. If the reallocation described in clause (a)(iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Parent Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under applicable Law, (x) first, prepay Swing Line Advances in an amount equal to the Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.13.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Parent Borrower, the Agent, the Swing Line Lender and the Issuing Banks agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Credit Advances and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Advances to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Commitment Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.14(a)(iv)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of any Loan Party while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender

122

will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

ARTICLE III

GUARANTY

SECTION 3.01 Guaranty.

(a) Each Loan Party hereby agrees that such Loan Party is jointly and severally liable for, and hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the Agent, Lenders, Hedge Banks, Supply Chain Banks or Cash Management Banks and their respective successors and assigns, the full and prompt payment (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and performance of, all Obligations owed or hereafter owing to the Agent and Secured Parties by each other Loan Party. Each Loan Party agrees that its guaranty obligation hereunder is a continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection, that its obligations under this Article III shall not be discharged until the Termination Date, and that its obligations under this Article III shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and unaffected by,

(i) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability or any future amendment of, or change in, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, Secured Hedge Agreement, Secured Supply Chain Financing or Bank Product Document or any other agreement, document or instrument to which any Loan Party is or may become a party;

(ii) the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement (including this Article III) or any other Loan Document, Secured Hedge Agreement, Secured Supply Chain Financing or Bank Product Document or the waiver or consent by the Agent and Lenders, Hedge Banks, Supply Chain Banks or Cash Management Banks, as applicable, with respect to any of the provisions thereof;

(iii) the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect its Lien against, any security for the Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by the Agent and Lenders, Hedge Banks, Supply Chain Banks or Cash Management Banks in respect thereof (including the release of any such security);

(iv) the insolvency of any Loan Party;

(v) any amendment, alteration, novation or variation in any manner and to any extent (and irrespective of the effect of the same on any Guarantor) of any of the Obligations, any liabilities and obligations of any surety, and any security of any one or more of the Secured Parties’ arrangements with the Loan Parties or any other Person; or

(vi) any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor.

123

The guaranty provided in this Article III shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Loan Document Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Swing Line Lender, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, respectively, upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of a Loan Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

(b) Each Loan Party shall be regarded, and shall be in the same position, as principal debtor with respect to the Obligations guarantied hereunder. Each Loan Party expressly represents and acknowledges that it is part of a common enterprise with the other Loan Parties and that any financial accommodations by Lenders, Hedge Banks, Supply Chain Banks or Cash Management Banks or any of them, to any other Loan Party hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, Secured Hedge Agreements, Secured Supply Chain Financings or Bank Product Documents are and will be of direct and indirect interest, benefit and advantage to all Loan Parties.

SECTION 3.02 Waivers by Loan Parties. Each Loan Party expressly waives, to the extent permitted by law, all rights it may have now or in the future under any statute, or at common law, or at law or in equity, or otherwise, to compel the Agent or any other Secured Party to marshal assets or to proceed in respect of the Obligations guarantied hereunder against any other Loan Party, any other party or against any security for the payment and performance of the Obligations before proceeding against, or as a condition to proceeding against, such Loan Party. It is agreed among each Loan Party, the Agent, the Issuing Banks, Lenders and other Secured Parties that the foregoing waivers are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and that, but for the provisions of this Article III and such waivers, the Agent, the Issuing Banks, Lenders and other Secured Parties would decline to enter into this Agreement. Each Loan Party expressly waives diligence, presentment and demand (whether for non-payment or protest or of acceptance, maturity, extension of time, change in nature or form of the Obligations, acceptance of further security, release of further security, composition or agreement arrived at as to the amount of, or the terms of, the Obligations, notice of adverse change in any Loan Party’s financial condition or any other fact which might increase the risk to another Loan Party).

SECTION 3.03 Benefit of Guaranty; Stay of Acceleration. Each Loan Party agrees that the provisions of this Article III are for the benefit of the Secured Parties and their respective successors, transferees, endorsees and assigns, and nothing herein contained shall impair, as between any other Loan Party and the Agent or any other Secured Party, the obligations of such other Loan Party under the Loan Documents, Secured Hedge Agreements, Secured Supply Chain Financings or Bank Product Documents.

SECTION 3.04 Subordination of Subrogation, Etc.. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, and except as set forth in Section 3.07, each Loan Party hereby expressly and irrevocably subordinates to payment of the Obligations any and all rights at law or in equity to subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off and any and all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor until the Termination Date. Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that this subordination is intended to benefit the Agent and the other

124

Secured Parties and shall not limit or otherwise affect such Loan Party’s liability hereunder or the enforceability of this Article III, and that the Agent, the other Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns are intended third party beneficiaries of the waivers and agreements set forth in this Section 3.04.

SECTION 3.05 [Reserved].

SECTION 3.06 Limitation. Notwithstanding any provision herein contained to the contrary, each Loan Party’s liability under this Article III shall be limited to an amount not to exceed as of any date of determination the greater of:

(a) the amount of all Advances advanced to (and L/C Obligations incurred on behalf of) the Borrowers and;

(b) the amount that could be claimed by the Agent and the other Secured Parties from such Loan Party under this Article III without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar foreign or domestic statute or common law after taking into account, among other things, such Loan Party’s right of contribution and indemnification from each other Loan Party under Section 3.07.

SECTION 3.07 Contribution with Respect to Guaranty Obligations.

(a) To the extent that any Loan Party shall make a payment under this Article III of all or any of the Obligations (other than Advances made to that Borrower for which it is primarily liable) (a “Guarantor Payment”) that, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments then previously or concurrently made by any other Loan Party, exceeds the amount that such Loan Party would otherwise have paid if each Loan Party had paid the aggregate Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payment in the same proportion that such Loan Party’s “Allocable Amount” (as defined below) (as determined immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment) bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each Loan Party as determined immediately prior to the making of such Guarantor Payment, then, following the Termination Date, such Loan Party shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each other Loan Party for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment.

(b) As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of any Loan Party shall be equal to the maximum amount of the claim that could then be recovered from such Loan Party under this Article III without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law.

(c) This Section 3.07 is intended only to define the relative rights of the Loan Parties and nothing set forth in this Section 3.07 is intended to or shall impair the obligations of the Loan Parties, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same shall become

125

due and payable in accordance with the terms of, and subject to the limitations contained in, this Agreement, including Section 3.01. Nothing contained in this Section 3.07 shall limit the liability of any Borrower to pay the Advances made directly or indirectly to that Borrower and accrued interest, fees and expenses with respect thereto for which such Borrower shall be primarily liable.

(d) The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder shall constitute assets of the Loan Parties to which such contribution and indemnification is owing.

(e) The rights of the indemnifying Loan Parties against other Loan Parties under this Section 3.07 shall be exercisable upon the full and indefeasible payment of the Obligations and the termination of the Commitments.

SECTION 3.08 Liability Cumulative. The liability of each Loan Party under this Section 3.08 is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of such Loan Party to the Agent and Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Loan Party is a party or in respect of any Obligations or obligation 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 3.09 Release of Borrowers and Guarantors. The Obligations of any Loan Party (other than Parent Borrower) shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect and such Loan Party shall be automatically released from all obligations under this Agreement and all Loan Documents upon:

(a) the sale, disposition, exchange or other transfer (including through merger, consolidation amalgamation or otherwise) of the Capital Stock (including any sale, disposition or other transfer following which the applicable Loan Party is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary), of the applicable Loan Party to a Person that is not an Affiliate of a Loan Party if such sale, disposition, exchange or other transfer is made in a manner not in violation of this Agreement and for a bona fide business purpose other than causing the release of such Guaranty;

(b) the designation of such Loan Party as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the provisions of the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary”;

(c) such Subsidiary becomes an Excluded Subsidiary (as evidenced by a notice in writing from an Officer of Parent Borrower); or

(d) repayment of all of the Obligations hereunder and termination of all of the Commitments hereunder and termination or cash collateralization on terms acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank of all Letters of Credit.

ARTICLE IV

PAYMENTS, TAXES, EXTENSIONS, ETC.

126

SECTION 4.01 Payments Generally; Agent’s Clawback. (a) General. All payments to be made by any Loan Party shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein and except with respect to principal of and interest on Advances denominated in an Alternative Currency, all payments by any Loan Party hereunder shall be made to the Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Agent’s Office in Dollars and in Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by any Loan Party hereunder with respect to principal and interest on Advances denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be made to the Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Agent’s Office in such Alternative Currency and in Same Day Funds not later than the Applicable Time specified by the Agent on the dates specified herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent may require that any payments due under this Agreement be made in the United States. If, for any reason, any Loan Party is prohibited by any Requirement of Law from making any required payment hereunder in an Alternative Currency, such Loan Party shall make such payment in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent of the Alternative Currency payment amount. The Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Commitment Percentage in respect of the relevant Facility (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Agent (i) after 2:00 p.m., in the case of payments in Dollars, or (ii) after the Applicable Time specified by the Agent in the case of payments in an Alternative Currency, shall in each case be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by any Loan Party 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 included in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

(b) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Agent. Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such 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 Section 2.02 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Loan Party a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Agent, then the applicable Lender and the applicable Loan Party severally agree to pay to the Agent forthwith on written demand such corresponding amount in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to such Loan Party to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the Overnight Rate and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by a Loan Party, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Advances. If the applicable Loan Party and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Agent shall promptly remit to such Loan Party the amount of such interest paid by such Loan Party for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute

127

such Lender’s Advance included in such Borrowing. Any payment by a Loan Party shall be without prejudice to any claim such Loan Party may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Agent.

(c) Payments by Borrowers; Presumptions by Agent. Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the applicable Loan Party prior to the time at which any payment is due to the Agent for the account of the Lender Parties hereunder that such Loan Party will not make such payment, the Agent may assume that such Loan Party has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Appropriate Lenders or the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the applicable Loan Party has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Appropriate Lenders or Issuing Banks, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender Party, in Same Day Funds 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 Overnight Rate.

A notice of the Agent to any Lender or the applicable Loan Party with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(d) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Agent funds for any Advance to be made by such Lender to any Loan Party as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to such Loan Party by the Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article V are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(e) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Advances, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Advances and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(d) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Advance, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 10.04(d) 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 Advance, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 10.04(d).

(f) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Advance 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 Advance in any particular place or manner. If any Foreign Subsidiary shall request any Borrowing hereunder, any Lender may, with notice to the Agent and the Parent Borrower, fulfill its Commitment by causing an Affiliate or branch of such Lender to act as the Lender in respect of such Foreign Subsidiary (and such Lender shall, to the extent of Advances made to and participations in Letters of Credit issued for the account of such Foreign Subsidiary, be deemed for all purposes hereof to have pro tanto assigned such Advances

128

and participations to such Affiliate or branch in compliance with the provisions of Section 10.07).

SECTION 4.02 Taxes. (a) Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes.

(i) For purposes of this Section 4.02, the term “Lender” includes the Swing Line Lender and any Issuing Bank.

(ii) All payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Laws. If any applicable Laws (as determined in the good faith discretion of the applicable withholding agent) require the deduction or withholding of any Tax in respect of any such payment by any Loan Party, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding.

(iii) If any applicable withholding agent shall be required (as determined in the good faith discretion of such applicable withholding agent) by any applicable Laws to withhold or deduct any Taxes in respect of any payment, then (A) the applicable withholding agent, as required by such Laws, shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by it to be required, (B) the applicable withholding agent, to the extent required by such Laws, shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with such Laws, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including any withholding or deductions in respect of Indemnified Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 4.02) the applicable Lender (or, in the case of any payment made to the Agent for its own account, the Agent) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Parent Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Parent Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws, or at the option of the Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c) Tax Indemnification. (i) Each of the Loan Parties shall, and does hereby agree to, jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 Business Days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable by such Loan Party under this Section 4.02) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, regardless of whether

129

such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Parent Borrower by a Lender Party (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(ii) Each Lender shall, and does hereby agree to, severally indemnify, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 Business Days after demand therefor, (x) the Agent against any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (y) the Agent against any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.07(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (z) the Agent and the Loan Parties, as applicable, against any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent in respect of any payment to such Lender by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender Party hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Agent under this clause (ii).

(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 4.02, the Parent Borrower 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 any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

(e) Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation.

(i) In addition to the requirement set forth in subsection (iii) below, any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to any payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition to the requirements set forth in the preceding sentence and subsection (iii) below, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Laws or reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Agent as

130

will enable the Parent Borrower or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements and shall otherwise cooperate with the Parent Borrower and the Agent to minimize the amount payable by any Loan Party pursuant to this Section 4.02.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(A) any Lender that is a United States Person shall deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Parent Borrower or the Agent), two properly completed and duly executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from United States federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Agent on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Parent Borrower or the Agent), two properly completed and duly executed originals of whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, United States federal withholding tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, United States federal withholding tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(2) IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a properly completed and duly executed certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Parent Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “United States Tax Compliance Certificate”), and that no payments to be made to such Foreign Lender will be

131

effectively connected with its conduct of a U.S. trade or business and (y) IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable); or

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner (e.g., where the Foreign Lender is a partnership or a participating Lender), IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by copies of IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or W-8BEN, as applicable), a properly completed and duly executed United States Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 or Exhibit H-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership (and not a participating Lender) and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a United States Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-4 on behalf of such direct and indirect partner(s);

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Agent on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Parent Borrower or the Agent), two properly completed and duly executed originals of any other documentation prescribed by applicable Laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Laws to permit the Parent Borrower or the Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Parent Borrower and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by applicable Laws and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Laws (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for the Parent Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment.

132

Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(iii) Each Lender agrees that if any documentation it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 4.02 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such documentation or promptly notify the Parent Borrower and the Agent in writing of its legal ineligibility to do so.

(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.02(e), no Lender shall be required to deliver any documentation that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver.

(v) Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to deliver to the Parent Borrower and to any successor Agent any documentation provided by such Lender to the Agent pursuant to this Section 4.02(e).

(f) Treatment of Certain Tax Benefits. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall the Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender. If any Recipient determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of, credit against, release or remission for, or repayment of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Loan Party or with respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.02 (any such refund, credit, release, remission or repayment, a “Tax Benefit”), it shall pay to the applicable Loan Party an amount equal to such Tax Benefit (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by a Loan Party under this Section 4.02 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such Tax Benefit), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such Recipient, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such Tax Benefit), provided that the applicable Loan Party, upon the request of the Recipient, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Recipient in the event the Recipient is required to repay such Tax Benefit to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will the applicable Recipient be required to pay any amount to the applicable Loan Party pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place the Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Recipient would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such Tax Benefit 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 any Recipient 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) Each Lender agrees with the Parent Borrower that it will take all reasonable actions by all usual means to (i) secure and maintain the benefit of all benefits available to it under the provisions of any applicable double tax treaty concluded by the

133

United States of America to which it may be entitled by reason of the location of such Lender’s lending office or place of incorporation or its status as an enterprise of any jurisdiction having any such applicable double tax treaty, if such benefit would reduce the amount payable by any Loan Party in accordance with this Section 4.02 and (ii) otherwise cooperate with the Parent Borrower to minimize the amount payable by any Loan Party pursuant to this Section 4.02; provided, however, that no Lender shall be obliged to disclose to any Loan Party any information regarding its tax affairs or tax computations or to reorder its tax affairs or tax planning pursuant thereto.

(h) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 4.02 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender Party, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

SECTION 4.03 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Revolving Credit Advances made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Advances held by it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Revolving Credit Advances or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Credit Advances and subparticipations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Advances of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Revolving Credit Advances and other amounts owing them, provided that:

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

(ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by or on behalf of any Loan Party pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (y) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in Section 2.13, or (z) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Revolving Credit Advances or subparticipations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Advances to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to the Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).

Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with

134

respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

For purposes of clause (b) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, any participation acquired pursuant to this Section 4.03 shall be treated as having been acquired on the earlier date(s) in which such Lender acquired the applicable interest(s) in the Commitment(s) to which such participation relates.

SECTION 4.04 Evidence of Debt/Borrowings. (a) Each Lender Party shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of any Loan Party to such Lender Party resulting from each Advance owing to such Lender Party from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender Party from time to time hereunder.

(b) The Register maintained by the Agent pursuant to Section 10.07(c) shall include a control account, and a subsidiary account for each Lender Party, in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the terms of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Loan Party to each Lender Party hereunder, and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Agent from any Loan Party hereunder and each Lender Party’s share thereof.

(d) Upon the request of any Lender to the Parent Borrower made through the Agent, the Parent Borrower shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to such Lender (through the Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Advances to the Loan Parties in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to a Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount, currency and maturity of its Advances and payments with respect thereto.

(e) Litigation. There is no pending or, to the Parent Borrower’s knowledge, threatened action or proceeding affecting the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries before any court, governmental agency or arbitrator, (i) which has a reasonable probability (taking into account the exhaustion of all appeals and the assertion of all defenses) of having a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) which purports to affect the legality, validity or enforceability of any Loan Document.

(iii) No ERISA Event has occurred with respect to any Plan that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, would reasonably be likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(iv) Neither a Loan Party nor any ERISA Affiliate has been notified by the sponsor of a Multiemployer Plan that such Multiemployer Plan is in reorganization, insolvent or has been terminated, within the meaning of Title IV of ERISA or has been determined to be in “endangered” or “critical” status within the meaning of Section 432 of the Code or Section 305 or ERISA and no Multiemployer Plan is reasonably expected to be in reorganization or to be terminated, within the meaning of Title IV of ERISA.

(j) Federal Reserve Regulations.

(iii) Cause All Risk and Business Interruption policies to name the Agent as a lender loss payee and to be endorsed or amended to include (i) a provision that, from and after the Restatement Date, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Dominion Period, in the event of an insurable loss, the insurer shall pay all proceeds otherwise payable to the Loan Parties under the All Risk and Business Interruption policies directly to the Agent, (ii) no provision of coinsurance applicable to the Loan Parties, the Secured Parties or any other Person and (iii) such other provisions as the Agent may reasonably require from time to time to protect the interests of the Secured Parties.

(v) Deliver to the Agent a copy of a renewal or replacement policy (or other evidence of renewal of a policy previously delivered to the Agent, including an insurance binder or certificate of insurance) together with evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Agent of either payment of the premium therefor or that such premium is being financed reasonably promptly following each such renewal, replacement or modification.

None of the Secured Parties, or their agents or employees shall be liable for any loss or damage insured by the insurance policies required to be maintained under this Section 7.01(f). Each Loan Party shall look solely to its insurance companies or any other parties other than the Secured Parties for the recovery of such loss or damage and such insurance companies shall have no rights of subrogation against any Secured Party or its agents or employees. If, however, the insurance policies do not provide waiver of subrogation rights against such parties, as required above, then the Loan Parties hereby agree, to the extent permitted by law, to waive their right of recovery, if any, against the Secured Parties and their agents and employees. The designation of any form, type or amount of insurance coverage by any Secured Party under this Section 7.01(f) shall in no event be deemed a representation, warranty or advice by such Secured

146

Party that such insurance is adequate for the purposes of the business of the Loan Parties or the protection of their properties.

The Loan Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) the Loan Parties have no right of withdrawal from the Dominion Account, (ii) the funds on deposit in the Dominion Account shall at all times be collateral security for all of the Obligations and (iii) the funds on deposit in the Dominion Account shall be applied pursuant to Section 8.02 on a daily basis after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Cash Dominion Period. In the event that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7.01(i)(v), any Loan Party receives or otherwise has dominion and control of any such proceeds or collections, 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, not later than the Business Day after receipt thereof, be deposited into the Dominion Account or dealt with in such other fashion as such Loan Party may be instructed by the Agent. Upon the request of the Agent after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Cash Dominion Period, the Loan Parties shall cause bank statements and/or other reports to be delivered to the Agent not less often than weekly, accurately setting forth all amounts deposited in each Blocked Account to ensure the proper transfer of funds as set forth above.

The Loan Parties agree not to effect or permit any change referred to in the preceding sentence unless all filings have been made under the UCC and the PPSA, as applicable, or otherwise that are required in order for the Agent to continue at all times following such change to have a valid, legal and perfected first priority Lien (subject to Permitted Liens) in all the Collateral for its own benefit and the benefit of the other Secured Parties.

(k) Payment of Taxes. The Parent Borrower will pay and discharge or cause to be paid and discharged, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay and discharge, all Taxes imposed upon it (including in its capacity as a withholding agent) or upon its income or profits, or upon any properties belonging to it, prior to the date on which material penalties attach thereto, and all lawful material claims in respect of any Taxes imposed, assessed or levied that, if unpaid, would reasonably be expected to become a material Lien (other than a Permitted Lien) upon any properties of the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that neither the Parent Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to pay any such Tax that is being contested in good faith and by proper proceedings if it has maintained adequate reserves with respect thereto in accordance with GAAP or the failure to pay would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

149

(l) Further Assurances.

(i) Execute any and all further documents, financing statements, agreements and instruments, and take all such further actions (including the filing and recording of financing statements and other documents), that may be required under any applicable Law, or which the Agent may reasonably request, to effectuate the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or to grant, preserve, protect or perfect the Liens created or intended to be created by the Collateral Documents or the validity or priority of any such Lien, all at the expense of the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties also agree to provide to the Agent, from time to time upon request, evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Agent as to the perfection and priority of the Liens created or intended to be created by the Collateral Documents.

(ii) Upon request, cause each Subsidiary which is not a Loan Party hereunder to deliver agreements reasonably satisfactory to the Agent granting the Agent the right and license to use the assets and properties of such Subsidiary, including all Intellectual Property, equipment and fixtures owned by such Subsidiary, in connection with any Liquidation of the Collateral.

(m) Compliance with Terms of Leaseholds. Except as otherwise expressly permitted hereunder, (a) make all payments and otherwise perform all obligations in respect of all Leases to which any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries is a party and keep such Leases in full force and effect; provided that this clause (a) shall not apply to any Leases that are the subject of good faith negotiations with landlords during the Fiscal Years ending on or about January 30, 2021 and January 29, 2022 (or such later periods agreed by the Agent in its discretion), (b) not allow such Leases to lapse or be terminated or any rights to renew such Leases to be forfeited or cancelled, in each case, except in the ordinary course of business, consistent with past practices, or except to the extent that such actions are determined to be in the best interests of the business as reasonably determined by the Borrower in connection with the good faith negotiations referred to include (a) above during the periods referred to in clause (a) above or the resolution of such negotiations, (c) notify the Agent of any default by any party with respect to such Leases (except to the extent that such default applies to leases subject to good faith negotiations) and cooperate with the Agent, upon the Agent’s reasonable request, in all reasonable respects to cure any such default and (d) cause each of its Subsidiaries to do the foregoing, except, in the case of any of clauses (a) through (d) above, where the failure to do so, either individually or in the aggregate, would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(n) New Subsidiaries.

(i) Within thirty (30) Business Days of the formation of any Restricted Subsidiary, acquisition of a Restricted Subsidiary or at any time a Subsidiary becomes a Restricted Subsidiary or ceases to be an Excluded Subsidiary, Parent Borrower shall notify Agent of such event and, promptly

150

thereafter (and in any event within 30 days or such longer period as Agent may agree) (i) cause each such new Restricted Subsidiary that is not an Excluded Subsidiary to deliver to Agent (A) a Joinder Agreement (which Joinder Agreement will specify whether such new Loan Party will be a “Borrower” hereunder) and (B) a supplemental Guaranty in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G, and to deliver to Agent such security documents, together with appropriate financing statements, reasonably requested by Agent, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, (ii) with respect to all new Restricted Subsidiaries that are directly owned in whole or in part by a Loan Party, cause such Loan Party to provide to Agent a supplement to the U.S. Security Agreement or the applicable Canadian Security Agreement, as applicable, providing for the pledge of the Capital Stock in such new Restricted Subsidiary owned by it (or, in the case of a FSHCO or a Foreign Subsidiary (other than a Foreign Subsidiary of a Loan Party organized under the laws of Canada (or any province or territory thereof)) that is a CFC, sixty-five percent (65%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of the voting Capital Stock of such Foreign Subsidiary or FSHCO and one-hundred percent (100%) of the non-voting Capital Stock of such Foreign Subsidiary or FSHCO, in each case to the extent that such Capital Stock does not constitute Excluded Property), as shall be requested by Agent together with appropriate certificates and powers or financing statements under the UCC or the PPSA, as applicable, or other applicable personal property or moveable property registries or other documents necessary to perfect such pledge, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, and (iii) provide or cause to be provided to Agent all other customary and reasonable documentation requested thereby, including, to the extent requested by Agent, one or more opinions of counsel reasonably satisfactory to Agent, which in its opinion is appropriate and customary with respect to such execution and delivery of the applicable documentation referred to above. Upon execution and delivery of the Joinder Agreement by each such new Restricted Subsidiary, such Restricted Subsidiary shall become a Loan Party hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Loan Party herein. The execution and delivery of the Joinder Agreement shall not require the consent of any Loan Party or Lender hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Loan Party hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any Loan Party hereunder.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither Borrower nor any Subsidiary of any Borrower shall be required to execute and deliver any joinder agreement, Guaranty, Collateral Document or any other document or grant a Lien in any Capital Stock or other property held by it if such action (A) for reasons of cost, legal limitations or other matters is unreasonably burdensome in relation to the benefits to the Lenders of such Borrower’s or such Subsidiary’s guaranty or security as reasonably determined by Parent Borrower and Agent or (B) is Excluded Property or otherwise would not be required with respect to the Collateral owned by a Loan Party pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Documents.

151

(o) Designation of Subsidiaries. A Financial Officer of Parent Borrower may at any time designate any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary”. With respect to the assets of Unrestricted Subsidiaries and Restricted Subsidiaries that are Loan Parties being included in the calculation of the Borrowing Base, (a) if a Restricted Subsidiary is designated by Borrowers as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the assets of such Subsidiary shall immediately be excluded from the Borrowing Base, and (b) if an Unrestricted Subsidiary is designated by Borrowers as a Restricted Subsidiary after the Restatement Date, then the assets of such Subsidiary shall not be included in the calculation of the Borrowing Base until (i) Agent consents (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) to such inclusion (except to the extent such Subsidiary’s assets were previously included in the Borrowing Base) and (ii) Agent has received satisfactory appraisals and field exams with respect to the assets of such Subsidiary, if applicable, as reasonably required by Agent and (iii) the Loan Parties have complied with Section 7.01(n) with respect to such Subsidiary. As of the Restatement Date, there are no Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

In addition, Guaranties of, or obligations in respect of letters of credit relating to, Indebtedness which is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness shall not be included in the determination of such amount of Indebtedness; provided that the Incurrence of the Indebtedness represented by such guarantee or letter of credit, as the case may be, was in compliance with this Section 7.02(a).

For purposes of determining compliance with any Dollar-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Indebtedness, the 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 Dollar equivalent), in the case of revolving credit debt. However, if the Indebtedness is Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and the refinancing would cause the applicable Dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of the refinancing, the Dollar-denominated restriction will be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of the refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of the Indebtedness being refinanced.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 7.02(a), the maximum amount of Indebtedness that Parent Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries may Incur pursuant to this Section 7.02(a) shall not be deemed to be exceeded, with respect to any outstanding Indebtedness, solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies. The principal

158

amount of any Indebtedness Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if Incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, will be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which the respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of the refinancing.

(b) Limitation on Restricted Payments.

(i) Parent Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:

159

(A) the declaration and payment of dividends on the Retired Capital Stock out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale (other than to a Subsidiary of Parent Borrower) of Refunding Capital Stock; and

(3) the redemption, repurchase, defeasance, or other acquisition or retirement of Junior Indebtedness of Parent Borrower or any Loan Party made by exchange for, or out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale of, new Indebtedness of Parent Borrower or a Loan Party, which is Incurred in accordance with Section 7.02(a) so long as:

(A)

the principal amount (or accreted value, if applicable) of such new Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount (or accreted value, if applicable), plus any accrued and unpaid interest, of the Junior Indebtedness being so redeemed, repurchased, defeased, acquired or retired for value (plus the amount of any premium required to be paid under the terms of the instrument governing the Junior Indebtedness being so redeemed, repurchased, acquired or retired, plus any tender

160

premiums, plus any defeasance costs, fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith);

(B)

such Indebtedness is subordinated as to right of payment and lien priority to the Obligations or the related Guarantee of such Loan Party, as the case may be, at least to the same extent as such Junior Indebtedness so purchased, exchanged, redeemed, repurchased, defeased, acquired or retired for value (it being understood that if the Junior Indebtedness so purchased, exchanged, redeemed, repurchased, defeased, acquired or retired for value is unsecured, such Indebtedness shall be unsecured);


(C)	such Indebtedness has a final scheduled maturity date equal to or later than the earlier of (x) the final scheduled maturity date of the Junior Indebtedness being so redeemed, repurchased, acquired or retired and (y) 91 days following the Termination Date; and

161

Parent Borrower (to the extent contributed to Parent Borrower) to employees, directors, officers or consultants of Parent Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries or any direct or indirect parent of Parent Borrower that occurs after the Restatement Date (provided that the amount of such cash proceeds utilized for any such repurchase, retirement, other acquisition or dividend will not increase the amount available for Restricted Payments under Section 7.02(b)(ii)(8)); plus


(B)	the cash proceeds of key man life insurance policies received by Parent Borrower or any direct or indirect parent of Parent Borrower (to the extent contributed to Parent Borrower) or the Restricted Subsidiaries after the Restatement Date;

162

such Tax Group attributable to the income of Parent Borrower and/or its applicable Subsidiaries in an amount not to exceed the amount of such U.S. federal, state and/or local income taxes (as applicable) that Parent Borrower and/or its applicable Subsidiaries would have paid for such taxable period had Parent Borrower and/or its applicable Subsidiaries been a stand-alone corporate taxpayer or a stand-alone corporate group with respect to such taxes for all applicable taxable periods ending after the date hereof; provided that distributions attributable to the income of any Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be permitted only to the extent that such Unrestricted Subsidiary made distributions to Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary for such purpose;

163

constitutes a Change of Control, all Obligations shall have been repaid in full (or the Event of Default specified in Section 8.01(g) shall have been waived); and

provided, however, that at the time of, and after giving effect to, any Restricted Payment permitted under clauses (8), (9) and (10) of this Section 7.02(b)(ii), no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof (provided, however, that Borrower may make regularly-scheduled dividend payments on its existing Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms thereof pursuant to Section 7.02(b)(ii)(6), regardless of whether any Default has occurred or is continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof); provided, further, that any Restricted Payments made with property other than cash shall be calculated using the Fair Market Value (as determined in good faith by Parent Borrower) of such property.

(iii) As of the Restatement Date, all of the Subsidiaries of Parent Borrower will be Restricted Subsidiaries. For purposes of designating any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, all outstanding Investments by Parent Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries (except to the extent repaid) in the Subsidiary so designated will be deemed to be Restricted Payments in an amount determined as set forth in the last sentence of the definition of “Investments.” Such designation will only be permitted if a Restricted Payment or Permitted Investment in such amount would be permitted at such time and if such Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

(iv) Notwithstanding anything else set forth in this Section 7.02(b) or the definition of “Permitted Investments” to the contrary, no Restricted Payment or Investment (other than an Investment in Parent Borrower or another Loan Party) of material intellectual property owned by Parent Borrower or another Loan Party shall be permitted under this Agreement.

(c) Limitations on Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries. No Loan Party shall, or shall permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist any consensual encumbrance or consensual restriction which prohibits or limits the ability of any Loan Party or Restricted Subsidiary to:

(12) other Indebtedness, Disqualified Capital Stock or Preferred Stock (A) of Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Loan Party or a Foreign Subsidiary or (B) of any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Loan Party or a Foreign Subsidiary so long as such encumbrances and restrictions contained in any agreement or instrument will not materially affect Parent Borrower’s or any Loan Party’s ability to make anticipated principal or interest payments on the Loans (as determined in good faith by Parent Borrower), provided that in the case of each of clauses (A) and (B), such Indebtedness, Disqualified Capital Stock or Preferred Stock is permitted to be Incurred subsequent to the Restatement Date pursuant to Section 7.02(a);

(13) any Restricted Investment not prohibited by Section 7.02(b) and any Permitted Investment; or

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 7.02(c), (i) the priority of any Preferred Stock in receiving dividends or liquidating distributions prior to dividends or liquidating distributions being paid on common stock shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make distributions on Capital Stock and (ii) the subordination of loans or advances made to Parent Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary to other Indebtedness Incurred by Parent Borrower or any such Restricted Subsidiary shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make loans or advances.

Except as set forth herein, no Loan Party shall, or shall permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, sell, transfer, convey, assign or otherwise Dispose of any of its properties or other assets, including the Capital Stock of any of its Subsidiaries (whether in a public or a private offering or otherwise), other than:

The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, and neither the Parent Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

Each Issuing Bank shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit Issued by it and the documents associated therewith until such time and except for so long as the Agent may elect to act for each Issuing Bank with respect thereto; provided, however, that such Issuing Bank shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Agent in this Article IX with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such Issuing Bank in connection with Letters of Credit Issued by it or proposed to be Issued by it and the applications and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to the Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Agent,” as used in this Article IX, included such Issuing Bank with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided in this Agreement with respect to such Issuing Bank.

For the purposes of holding any hypothec granted pursuant to the laws of the Province of Quebec, each of the Secured Parties hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Agent and, to the extent necessary, ratifies the appointment and authorization of the Agent, to act as the hypothecary representative of the Secured Parties 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 Agent

184

under any related deed of hypothec. The Agent shall 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 Agent in its capacity as hypothecary representative pursuant to any such deed of hypothec and applicable Law. Any person who becomes a Secured Party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, shall be deemed to have consented to and confirmed the Agent as the person acting as hypothecary representative holding the aforesaid hypothecs as aforesaid and to have ratified as of the date it becomes a Secured Party, all actions taken by the Agent in such capacity. The substitution of the Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Article IX shall also constitute the substitution of the Agent as hypothecary representative as aforesaid without any further act or formality being required to appoint such successor Agent as the successor hypothecary representative for the purposes of any then existing deeds of hypothec. The execution by Bank of America, as the Agent in the capacity as hypothecary representative for the Secured Parties, prior to this Agreement of any deeds of hypothec is hereby ratified and confirmed.

SECTION 9.02 Rights as a Lender. The Person 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 the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the 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 Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

SECTION 9.03 Exculpatory Provisions. The Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent:

(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(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 the Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Majority 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 the Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law; 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 credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Loan Parties or any of their Affiliates, that is communicated to, obtained or in the possession of, the Agent, any

185

Joint Lead Arranger or any of their Related Parties in any capacity, except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agent herein.

The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.01 and 8.01) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Agent by the Parent Borrower, a Lender or an Issuing Bank.

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 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 sufficiency of any Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agent.

SECTION 9.04 Reliance by Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, 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 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. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of an Advance, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, the Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender Party unless the Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender Party prior to the making of such Advance or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Parent 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 9.05 Delegation of Duties. The Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub‑agents appointed by the Agent. The 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 Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any

186

such sub‑agent and to the Related Parties of the 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 Agent.

SECTION 9.06 Resignation of Agent. (a) The Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Parent Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Parent Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Majority Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above, provided that in no event shall any such successor Agent be a Defaulting Lender. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(b) If the Person serving as Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Majority Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, by notice in writing to the Parent Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Agent and, in consultation with the Parent Borrower, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Majority Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

(c) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed 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 Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Agent is appointed) and (2) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each Issuing Bank directly, until such time, if any, as the Majority Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or removed) Agent (other than as provided in Section 4.02(g) and other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as applicable), and the retiring or removed 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) . The fees payable by the Parent Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless

187

otherwise agreed between the Parent Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them (i) while the retiring or removed Agent was acting as Agent and (ii) after such resignation or removal for as long as any of them continues to act in any capacity hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, including in respect of any actions taken in connection with transferring the agency to any successor Agent.

(d) Any resignation by Bank of America as Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as Issuing Bank and Swing Line Lender. If Bank of America resigns as an Issuing Bank, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an Issuing Bank hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as Issuing Bank and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto, including the right to require the Lenders to make Index Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.04(c). If Bank of America resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Advances made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Index Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Advances pursuant to Section 2.03(c). Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Bank and Swing Line Lender, (b) the retiring Issuing Bank and Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (c) the successor Issuing Bank shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit issued by Bank of America, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring Issuing Bank to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Issuing Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit.

SECTION 9.07 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank expressly acknowledges that none of the Agent nor any Joint Lead Arranger has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Agent or any Joint Lead Arranger hereafter taken, including any consent to, and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Loan Party of any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Agent or any Joint Lead Arranger to any Lender or Issuing Bank as to any matter, including whether the Agent or the Joint Lead Arrangers have disclosed material information in their (or their Related Parties’) possession. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank represents to the Agent and each Joint Lead Arranger that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any Joint Lead Arranger, any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of, appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrowers hereunder. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers, any other Lender

188

or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank represents and warrants that (i) the Loan Documents set forth the terms of a commercial lending facility and (ii) it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course and is entering into this Agreement as a Lender or Issuing Bank for the purpose of making, acquiring or holding commercial loans and providing other facilities set forth herein as may be applicable to such Lender or Issuing Bank, and not for the purpose of purchasing, acquiring or holding any other type of financial instrument, and each Lender and Issuing Bank agrees not to assert a claim in contravention of the foregoing. Each Lender and Issuing Bank represents and warrants that it is sophisticated with respect to decisions to make, acquire and/or hold commercial loans and to provide other facilities set forth herein, as may be applicable to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, and either it, or the Person exercising discretion in making its decision to make, acquire and/or hold such commercial loans or to provide such other facilities, is experienced in making, acquiring or holding such commercial loans or providing such other facilities.

SECTION 9.08 No Other Duties, Etc.. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Bookrunners, Arrangers or Documentation Agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Bank hereunder.

SECTION 9.09 Agent May File Proofs of Claim; Credit Bidding. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Advance or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Agent shall have made any demand on any Loan Party) 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 Advances, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Agent under Sections 2.04(h) and (i), 2.06 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;

189

and any custodian, receiver, interim receiver, monitor, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and each Issuing Bank to make such payments to the Agent and, in the event that the Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, to pay to the Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Agent under Sections 2.06 and 10.04.

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

The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Agent, at the direction of the Majority 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 Secured 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 Debtor Relief Laws or other applicable 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 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 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 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 Majority Lenders, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Majority Lenders contained in Section 10.01 of this Agreement), (iii) the 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

190

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.

(iv) such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.

191

(b) In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of Parent Borrower or any other Loan Party, that the Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Advances, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).

As used in this Section, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

SECTION 9.11 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. Without limiting the provisions of Section 9.09, each of the Lenders (including in its capacities as a potential Cash Management Bank, a potential Hedge Bank and a potential Supply Chain Bank) and the Issuing Banks irrevocably authorize the Agent, at its option and in its discretion,

(a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than (A) contingent indemnification obligations and (B) obligations and liabilities under Bank Product Documents, Hedging Obligations and Secured Supply Chain Financings that are, in each case, not due and payable at such time) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit as to which other arrangements satisfactory to the Agent and the applicable Issuing Banks shall have been made), (ii) that is sold or otherwise disposed of or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document to a Person that is not a Loan Party, (iii) that constitutes Excluded Property, or (iv) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 10.01; and

192

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

The Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

SECTION 9.12 Bank Product Documents, Hedging Obligations and Secured Supply Chain Financings. No Cash Management Bank, Hedge Bank or Supply Chain Bank that obtains the benefits of Section 8.02, any Guaranty or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or any other Loan Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article IX to the contrary, the Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Obligations arising under Bank Product Documents, Hedging Obligations or Secured Supply Chain Financings unless the Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Agent may request, from the applicable Cash Management Bank, Hedge Bank or Supply Chain Bank, as the case may be.

Notices and other communications sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices and other communications sent by telecopier shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient). 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 Communications. Notices and other communications to the Lender Parties hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e‑mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender Party pursuant to Article II if such Lender Party has notified the Agent that it is incapable of

195

receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. The Agent or the Parent 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.

Unless the Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

(c) The Platform. 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 ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event shall the Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to any Loan Party, any Lender Party or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Parent Borrower’s or the Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials or notices through the Platform, any other electronic platform or electronic messaging service or through the Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party; provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to any Loan Party, any Lender Party or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages).

(d) Change of Address, Etc. Each of the Parent Borrower, the Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Swing Line Lenders may change its address, telecopier or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. Each other Lender may change its address, telecopier or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the Parent Borrower, the Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Swing Line Lender. In addition, each Lender agrees to notify the Agent from time to time to ensure that the Agent has on

196

record (i) an effective address, contact name, telephone number, telecopier 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 Requirement of 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 Parent Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws.

(e) Reliance by Agent and Lender Parties. The Agent and the Lender Parties shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic notices, Committed Advance Notices and Swing Line Advance Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrowers 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 Borrowers shall indemnify the Agent, each Lender Party and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reasonable reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of any Loan Party. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the Agent may be recorded by the Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

SECTION 10.03 No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of any Lender Party or the Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

SECTION 10.04 Costs and Expenses.

(a) Expenses. The Borrowers agree to pay on demand all reasonable and documented costs and expenses of the Agent incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, modification and amendment of this Agreement, and the other documents to be delivered hereunder, including, without limitation, the reasonable and documented fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for the Agent (and appropriate local counsel) with respect thereto and with respect to advising the Agent as to its rights and responsibilities under this Agreement. The Borrowers further agree to pay on demand all costs and expenses of the Agent, each Issuing Bank, the Swing Line Lender and each other Lender Party (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel), incurred in connection with the enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of the Loan Documents, the Letters

197

of Credit, the documents delivered in connection with the Swing Line Advances and the other documents to be delivered hereunder and thereunder.

(b) Breakage. If any payment of principal of, or Conversion of, any Contract Rate Loan is made other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance, as a result of a payment or Conversion pursuant to Sections 2.09(d), 2.10, 2.12, acceleration of the maturity of the Advances pursuant to Section 8.01 or for any other reason, or by an Eligible Assignee to a Lender other than on the last day of an Interest Period for such Advance upon an assignment of rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.07 as a result of a demand by the Parent Borrower pursuant to Section 10.07(a), or if any Loan Party fails for any reason to make any payment or prepayment of an Advance for which a notice of prepayment was given or that is otherwise required to be made, whether pursuant to Sections 2.06, 2.10, 8.01 or otherwise, or if any Loan Party fails to make payment of any Advance or drawing under any Letter of Credit (or interest due thereon) denominated in an Alternative Currency on its scheduled due date or any payment thereof in a different currency, or upon any failure by any Loan Party (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make an Advance) to borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than an Index Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by such Loan Party , the applicable Loan Party shall, upon written demand by any Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any additional losses, costs or expenses which it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment or Conversion or such failure to pay or prepay, as the case may be, including, without limitation, any loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender to fund or maintain such Advance.

(c) Indemnification by the Parent Borrower. The Loan Parties shall indemnify the Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender Party, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Parent Borrower or any other Loan Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case of the Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) any Advance or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any 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 actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Substance on or from any property owned or operated by the Parent

198

Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any liability under Environmental Laws related in any way to the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Parent Borrower or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by the Parent Borrower or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee's obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, in each case, if the Parent Borrower or such Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. This Section 10.04(c) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, damages, liabilities, or expenses arising from any non-Tax claim.

(d) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Parent Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (c) of this Section to be paid by it to the Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), any Issuing Bank or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent (or any such sub-agent), such Issuing Bank or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Commitment 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, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Issuing Bank in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Issuing Bank in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (d) are several, and the failure of any Lender to fund its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to fund its obligations hereunder.

(e) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, no Loan Party shall assert, and each Loan Party hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Advance or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct

199

or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(f) The Borrowers hereby acknowledge that the funding method by each Lender of its Advances hereunder shall be in the sole discretion of such Lender. The Borrowers agree that for purposes of any determination to be made under Sections 2.08, 2.11(a), 2.12 or 10.04(b) each Lender shall be deemed to have funded its Eurocurrency Rate Advances with proceeds of Dollar deposits in the London interbank market.

(g) Without prejudice to the survival of any other obligation of the Loan Parties hereunder, the indemnities and obligations contained in this Section 10.04 shall survive the payment in full of all the Obligations.

SECTION 10.05 Right of Set-off. Upon (i) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and (ii) the making of the request or the granting of the consent specified by Section 8.01 to authorize the Agent to declare the Advances due and payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.01 or to demand payment of (or cash collateralization of) all then outstanding L/C Obligations, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, such Issuing Bank or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender Party, irrespective of whether or not such Lender Party shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender Party different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness (it being understood and agreed that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to the contrary, accounts, deposits, sums, securities or other property of any Foreign Subsidiary or of any Subsidiary of a Foreign Subsidiary (including any Foreign Subsidiary that is a Loan Party) will not serve at any time, directly or indirectly, to collateralize or otherwise offset the Obligations of the Parent Borrower or any Domestic Subsidiary, and, in addition, unless otherwise agreed to by the Parent Borrower, the accounts, deposits, sums, securities or other property of a Foreign Subsidiary or Subsidiary of a Foreign Subsidiary will only serve to collateralize or offset the Obligations of another Foreign Subsidiary or Subsidiary of a Foreign Subsidiary that is a Borrower and is not a United States Person for U.S. federal income tax purposes if such former Foreign Subsidiary or Subsidiary of a Foreign Subsidiary is owned by such latter Foreign Subsidiary or Subsidiary of a Foreign Subsidiary that is a Borrower). The rights of each Lender, each Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, such Issuing Bank or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees to notify the Parent Borrower and the Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

200

SECTION 10.06 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by each Loan Party to be a party hereto on the date hereof, each Issuing Bank to be a party hereto on the date hereof, and the Agent and when the Agent shall have been notified by each Lender that such Lender has executed it and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Loan Party, each Issuing Bank, the Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Loan Party shall have the right to assign its respective rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Lenders.

SECTION 10.07 Assignments and Participations. (a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither the Parent Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(d), or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 10.07(f) (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 subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agent and the Lender Parties) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(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(s) and the Advances (including for purposes of this Section 10.07(b), participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Advances) 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 under any Facility and the Advances at the time owing to it under such Facility 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, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Advances outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Advances of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Acceptance, as of the Trade Date, shall not be

201

less than $10,000,000 unless each of the Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Parent Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

(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 Advances or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not (A) apply to the Swing Line Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of Swing Line Advances or (B) prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Facilities on a non-pro rata basis;

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:

(1) the consent of the Parent Borrower (such consent not to be, in the case of assignments to major banks, unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Parent Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof;

(B) the consent of the Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of any Revolving Credit Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment in respect of the applicable Facility, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender;

(C) the consent of each Issuing Bank (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding); and

(D) the consent of the Swing Line Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility.

(iv) Assignment and Acceptance. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that the Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

202

(v) No Assignment to Borrower. Except as otherwise permitted pursuant to the definition of Eligible Assignee, no such assignment shall be made to Parent Borrower or any of the Parent Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (A), or (B) a natural person (or to a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural person).

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.11, 4.02 and 10.03 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, the applicable Loan Party (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a 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) Register. The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Parent Borrower (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at the Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal and interest amounts of the Advances and L/C Obligations 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 Parent Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Parent Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Parent Borrower or the Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural Person, a Defaulting Lender or the Parent Borrower or any of the Parent Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Advances (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Advances) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall

203

remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Parent Borrower, the Agent, the Lender Parties 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, waiver or other modification described in clause (i) of the proviso to Section 10.01 that affects such Participant. The Parent Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.11 and 4.02 subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 4.02(e) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 4.02(e) shall be delivered solely to the participating Lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.07(b); provided that such Participant (A) shall be subject to the provisions of Section 10.12 as if it were a Lender, and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.11 or 4.02 with respect to any Participation than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent that such entitlement to receive greater payment results from a Change in Law after the participant acquired the participation. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.05 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant shall be subject to Section 4.03 as though it were a Lender.

Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Parent Borrower (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of each Participant’s interest in the Advances or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) and proposed Section 1.163-5 of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(e) [Reserved].

(f) Certain Pledges. 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 Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of

204

its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(g) Resignation as Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time a Lender that is, or has an Affiliate or branch that is, an Issuing Bank or the Swing Line Lender (a “Fronting Bank”) assigns all of its Revolving Credit Commitment and Revolving Credit Advances pursuant to Section 10.07(b), such Fronting Bank may, (i) upon 30 days’ notice to the Parent Borrower and the Lenders, resign as Issuing Bank and/or (ii) upon 30 days’ notice to the Parent Borrower, resign as Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such resignation as Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender, the Parent Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Parent Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of the applicable Fronting Bank as Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. If a Fronting Bank resigns as Issuing Bank, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an Issuing Bank hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as Issuing Bank and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Index Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.04(c)). If a Fronting Bank resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Advances made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Index Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Advances pursuant to Section 2.03(c). Upon the appointment and acceptance of such appointment of a successor Issuing Bank and/or Swing Line Lender, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, and (b) the successor Issuing Bank shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Fronting Bank to effectively assume the obligations of such Fronting Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit.

(h) If any Lender requests any payment from any Loan Party under Section 2.08(d), 2.11 or 4.02, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then, subject to Section 10.07(a) and provided no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Parent Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.07), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

(ii) the Parent Borrower shall have paid to the Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.07(b);

205

(iii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to 100% of the outstanding principal of its Advances and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 10.04(b)) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Parent Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(iv) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.11 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 4.02, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

(v) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Requirements of Law.

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 Parent Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply^..

SECTION 10.08 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Parent Borrower is made to the Agent or any Lender Party, or the Agent, any Issuing Bank 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 or a transfer at undervalue, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Agent or such Lender Party 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 and each Issuing Bank severally agrees to pay to the Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the 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, in the applicable currency of such recovery or payment.

The obligation of each Loan Party in respect of any such sum due from it to the Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Agent from any Loan Party in the Agreement Currency, the Parent Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Agent or the Person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss.

Solely to the extent any Lender or Issuing Bank that is an Affected Financial Institution is a party to this Agreement and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender or Issuing Bank that is an Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any Lender or Issuing Bank that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

SECTION 10.24 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Swap Contract or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under

211

the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

(a) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

(b) As used in this Section 10.24, the following terms have the following meanings:

“BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

“Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

“QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).

212

SECTION 10.25 Canadian Anti-Money Laundering Legislation. If the Agent has ascertained the identity of any Loan Party or any authorized signatories of any Loan Party for the purposes of the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (Canada) and other anti-terrorism laws and “know your client” policies, regulations, laws or rules applicable in Canada (the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (Canada) and other such anti-terrorism laws, applicable policies, regulations, laws, or rules in Canada, collectively, including any guidelines or orders thereunder, “AML Legislation”), then the Agent:

(a) shall be deemed to have done so as an agent for each Lender and this Agreement shall constitute a “written agreement” in such regard between each Lender and the Agent within the meaning of the applicable AML Legislation; and

(b) shall provide to the Lenders, 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 Lender agrees that the Agent has no obligation to ascertain the identity of the Loan Parties or any authorized signatories of the Loan Parties on behalf of any Lender, or to confirm the completeness or accuracy of any information it obtains from any Loan Party or any such authorized signatory in doing so.

If the First Lien Notes Agent, any First Lien Notes Secured Party, or any Future Notes Indebtedness Secured Party honors (or fails to honor) a request by any Borrower for an extension of credit pursuant to any any First Lien Notes Indenture, or any of the other First Lien Notes Documents, whether the First Lien Notes Agent, any First Lien Notes Secured Party, or any Future Notes Indebtedness Secured Party has knowledge that the honoring of (or failure to honor) any such request would constitute a default under the terms of any ABL Credit Agreement or any other ABL Document (but not a default under this Agreement) or an act, condition, or event that, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute such a default, or if the First Lien Notes Agent, any First Lien Notes Secured Party, or any Future Notes Indebtedness Secured Party otherwise should exercise any of its contractual rights or remedies under the First Lien Notes Documents (subject to the express terms and conditions hereof), none of the First Lien Notes Agent, any First Lien Notes Secured Party, or any Future Notes Indebtedness Secured Party shall have any liability whatsoever to the ABL Agent or any ABL Secured Party as a result of such action, omission, or exercise (so long as any such exercise does not breach the express terms and provisions of this Agreement).

(a) If any Borrower or any Guarantor shall be subject to any Insolvency Proceeding at any time prior to the Discharge of ABL Obligations, and the ABL Agent or the ABL Secured Parties shall seek to provide any Borrower or any Guarantor with, or consent to a third party providing, any financing

-27-

under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any comparable provision of any other applicable Debtor Relief Law) or consent to any order for the use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any comparable provision of any other applicable Debtor Relief Law) (each, a “DIP Financing”), with such DIP Financing to be secured by all or any portion of the ABL Priority Collateral (including assets that, but for the application of Section 552 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any comparable provision of any other applicable Debtor Relief Law) would be ABL Priority Collateral) (it being understood that the ABL Agent and the ABL Secured Parties shall not propose any DIP Financing with respect to the First Lien Notes Priority Collateral in competition with the First Lien Notes Agent and the First Lien Notes Secured Parties without the consent of the First Lien Notes Agent), then each of the First Lien Notes Agent, on behalf of itself, the First Lien Notes Secured Parties, and the Future Notes Indebtedness Secured Parties, agrees that it will raise no objection and will not support any objection to such DIP Financing or to the Liens securing the same on the grounds of a failure to provide “adequate protection” for the Liens of such First Lien Notes Agent securing the First Lien Notes Obligations or on any other grounds (and will not request any adequate protection solely as a result of such DIP Financing), so long as (i) the First Lien Notes Agent retains its Lien on the Collateral to secure the First Lien Notes Obligations (in each case, including Proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of the Insolvency Proceeding) and, as to the First Lien Notes Priority Collateral only, such Lien has the same priority as existed prior to the commencement of the Insolvency Proceeding and any Lien on First Lien Notes Priority Collateral securing such DIP Financing is junior and subordinate to the Lien of the First Lien Notes Agent on the First Lien Notes Priority Collateral, (ii) all Liens on ABL Priority Collateral securing any such DIP Financing shall be senior to or on a parity with the Liens of the ABL Agent and the ABL Secured Parties securing the ABL Obligations on ABL Priority Collateral and (iii) if the ABL Agent receives an adequate protection Lien on post-petition assets of the debtor to secure the ABL Obligations, the First Lien Notes Agent also may seek to obtain an adequate protection Lien on such post-petition assets of the debtor to secure the First Lien Notes Obligations, provided that (x) such Liens in favor of the ABL Agent and the First Lien Notes Agent shall be subject to the provisions of Section 6.1(c) hereof and (y) the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.1(a) shall not prevent the First Lien Notes Agent, the First Lien Notes Secured Parties, and the Future Notes Indebtedness Secured Parties from objecting to any provision in any DIP Financing relating to any provision or content of a plan of reorganization.

(b) If any Borrower or any Guarantor shall be subject to any Insolvency Proceeding at any time prior to the Discharge of First Lien Notes Obligations, and the First Lien Notes Agent, the First Lien Notes Secured Parties, or the Future Notes Indebtedness Secured Parties shall seek to provide any Borrower or any Guarantor with, or consent to a third party providing, any DIP Financing, with such DIP Financing to be secured by all or any portion of the First Lien Notes Priority Collateral (including assets that, but for the application of Section 552 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any comparable provision of any other applicable Debtor Relief Law) would be First Lien Notes Priority Collateral) (it being understood that the First Lien Notes Agent and the First Lien Notes Secured Parties shall not propose any DIP Financing with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral in competition with the ABL Agent and the ABL Secured Parties without the consent of the ABL Agent), then the ABL Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties, agrees that it will raise no objection and will not support any objection to such DIP Financing or to the Liens securing the same on the grounds of a failure to provide “adequate protection” for the Liens of the ABL Agent securing the ABL Obligations or on any other grounds (and will not request any adequate protection solely as a result of such DIP Financing), so long as (i) the ABL Agent retains its Lien on the Collateral to secure the ABL Obligations (in each case, including Proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of the Insolvency Proceeding) and, as to the ABL Priority Collateral only, such Lien has the same priority as existed prior to the commencement of the Insolvency Proceeding and any Lien on ABL Priority Collateral securing such DIP Financing is junior and subordinate to the Lien of the ABL Agent on the ABL Priority Collateral, (ii) all Liens on First Lien Notes Priority Collateral securing any such DIP Financing shall be senior to or on a parity with the Liens of the First Lien Notes Agent, the First Lien Notes Secured Parties,

-28-

and the Future Notes Indebtedness Secured Parties securing the First Lien Notes Obligations on First Lien Notes Priority Collateral and (iii) if the First Lien Notes Agent receives an adequate protection Lien on post-petition assets of the debtor to secure the First Lien Notes Obligations, the ABL Agent also may seek to obtain an adequate protection Lien on such post-petition assets of the debtor to secure the ABL Obligations, provided that (x) such Liens in favor of the First Lien Notes Agent and the ABL Agent shall be subject to the provisions of Section 6.1(c) hereof and (y) the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.1(b) shall not prevent the ABL Agent and the ABL Secured Parties from objecting to any provision in any DIP Financing relating to any provision or content of a plan of reorganization.

(c) All Liens granted to the ABL Agent or the First Lien Notes Agent in any Insolvency Proceeding, whether as adequate protection or otherwise, are intended by the Parties to be and shall be deemed to be subject to the Lien Priority and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement. In addition, the First Lien Notes Agent, on behalf of itself and/or the First Lien Notes Secured Parties, acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no First Lien Notes Secured Party shall (a) be granted any Lien on the Canadian Collateral or any other rights thereto or interests therein in any Insolvency Proceeding, (b) commence or take any enforcement action with respect to the Canadian Subsidiaries or the Canadian Collateral in any Insolvency Proceeding, or (c) contest, protest, object to, or interfere with the manner in which the ABL Agent or any ABL Secured Party seeks to enforce its Liens in any Canadian Collateral in any Insolvency Proceeding.

Section 6.2 Relief From Stay. Until the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, each of the First Lien Notes Agent, on behalf of itself, the First Lien Notes Secured Parties, and the Future Notes Indebtedness Secured Parties, agrees not to seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of any portion of the ABL Priority Collateral without the ABL Agent’s express written consent. Until the Discharge of First Lien Notes Obligations has occurred, the ABL Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties, agrees not to seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of any portion of the First Lien Notes Priority Collateral without the First Lien Notes Agent’s express written consent.

Section 6.3 No Contest. Each of the First Lien Notes Agent, on behalf of itself, the First Lien Notes Secured Parties, and the Future Notes Indebtedness Secured Parties, agrees that, prior to the Discharge of ABL Obligations, none of them shall contest (or support any other Person contesting) (a) any request by the ABL Agent or any ABL Secured Party for adequate protection of its interest in the Collateral (unless in contravention of Section 6.1(b) above or unless such adequate protection would come in the form of cash payments from the proceeds of First Lien Notes Priority Collateral), or (b) any objection by the ABL Agent or any ABL Secured Party to any motion, relief, action, or proceeding based on a claim by the ABL Agent or any ABL Secured Party that its interests in the Collateral (unless in contravention of Section 6.1(b) above) are not adequately protected (or any other similar request under any law applicable to an Insolvency Proceeding), so long as any Liens granted to the ABL Agent as adequate protection of its interests are subject to this Agreement. The ABL Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties, agrees that, prior to the Discharge of First Lien Notes Obligations, none of them shall contest (or support any other Person contesting) (i) any request by the First Lien Notes Agent, any First Lien Notes Secured Party, or any Future Notes Indebtedness Secured Party for adequate protection of its interest in the Collateral (unless in contravention of Section 6.1(a) above or unless such adequate protection would come in the form of cash payments from the proceeds of ABL Priority Collateral), or (ii) any objection by the First Lien Notes Agent, any First Lien Notes Secured Party, or any Future Notes Indebtedness Secured Party to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on a claim by the First Lien Notes Agent, any First Lien Notes Secured Party, or any Future Notes Indebtedness Secured Party that its interests in the Collateral (unless in contravention of Section 6.1(a) above) are not adequately protected (or any other similar request under any law applicable to an Insolvency

-29-

Proceeding), so long as any Liens granted to the First Lien Notes Agent as adequate protection of its interests are subject to this Agreement.

Section 6.4 Asset Sales. Each of the First Lien Notes Agent, on behalf of itself, the First Lien Notes Secured Parties, and the Future Notes Indebtedness Secured Parties, that it will not oppose any sale consented to by the ABL Agent of any ABL Priority Collateral pursuant to Section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any comparable provision of any other applicable Debtor Relief Law) so long as the proceeds of such sale are applied in accordance with this Agreement. The ABL Agent agrees, on behalf of itself and the ABL Secured Parties, that it will not oppose any sale consented to by the First Lien Notes Agent of any First Lien Notes Priority Collateral pursuant to Section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any comparable provision of any other applicable Debtor Relief Law) so long as the proceeds of such sale are applied in accordance with this Agreement. If such sale of Collateral includes both ABL Priority Collateral and First Lien Notes Priority Collateral and the Parties are unable after negotiating in good faith to agree on the allocation of the purchase price between the ABL Priority Collateral and First Lien Notes Priority Collateral, either Party may apply to the court in such Insolvency Proceeding to make a determination of such allocation, and the court’s determination shall be binding upon the Parties.

Section 6.5 Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification. Each First Lien Notes Secured Party, each Future Notes Indebtedness Secured Party, the First Lien Notes Agent, each ABL Secured Party and the ABL Agent acknowledges and agrees that (i) the grants of Liens pursuant to the ABL Security Documents and the Term Security Documents constitute two or more separate and distinct grants of Liens and (ii) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the First Lien Notes Obligations are fundamentally different from the ABL Obligations and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan proposed, confirmed, or adopted in an Insolvency Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the claims of the ABL Secured Parties and the First Lien Notes Secured Parties in respect of the Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then the ABL Secured Parties and the First Lien Notes Secured Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that all distributions from the Collateral shall be made as if there were separate classes of ABL Obligation claims and First Lien Notes Obligation claims against the Credit Parties (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the ABL Priority Collateral or First Lien Notes Priority Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the other Secured Parties), the ABL Secured Parties or the First Lien Notes Secured Parties, respectively, shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest, fees, or expenses that is available from each pool of Priority Collateral for each of the ABL Secured Parties and the First Lien Notes Secured Parties, respectively, before any distribution from such pool of Priority Collateral is made in respect of the claims held by the other Secured Parties, with the other Secured Parties hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the respective other Secured Parties amounts otherwise received or receivable by them from such pool of Priority Collateral to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the aggregate recoveries.

Section 6.6 Enforceability. The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be and shall be enforceable under Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any comparable provision of any other applicable Debtor Relief Law).

Section 6.7 ABL Obligations Unconditional. All rights of the ABL Agent hereunder, and all agreements and obligations of the First Lien Notes Agent and the Credit Parties (to the extent applicable) hereunder, shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:

-30-

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any ABL Document;

(ii) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any portion of the ABL Obligations, or any amendment, waiver or other modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, or any refinancing, replacement, refunding or restatement of any ABL Document;

(iii) any exchange, release, voiding, avoidance or non-perfection of any security interest in any Collateral or any other collateral, or any release, amendment, waiver or other modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, or any refinancing, replacement, refunding, restatement or increase of all or any portion of the ABL Obligations or any guarantee or guaranty thereof; or

(iv) any other circumstances that otherwise might constitute a defense (other than payment in full of the ABL Obligations) available to, or a discharge of, any Credit Party in respect of the ABL Obligations, or of any of the First Lien Notes Agent or any Credit Party, to the extent applicable, in respect of this Agreement.

Section 6.8 First Lien Notes Obligations Unconditional. All rights of the First Lien Notes Agent hereunder, all agreements and obligations of the ABL Agent and the Credit Parties (to the extent applicable) hereunder, shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Term Document;

(ii) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any portion of the First Lien Notes Obligations, or any amendment, waiver or other modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, or any refinancing, replacement, refunding or restatement of any Term Document;

(iii) any exchange, release, voiding, avoidance or non-perfection of any security interest in any Collateral, or any other collateral, or any release, amendment, waiver or other modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, or any refinancing, replacement, refunding, restatement or increase of all or any portion of the First Lien Notes Obligations or any guarantee or guaranty thereof; or

(iv) any other circumstances that otherwise might constitute a defense (other than payment in full of the First Lien Notes Obligations) available to, or a discharge of, any Credit Party in respect of the First Lien Notes Obligations, or of any of the ABL Agent or any Credit Party, to the extent applicable, in respect of this Agreement.

Section 6.9 Adequate Protection. Except to the extent expressly provided in Sections 6.1 and 6.3, nothing in this Agreement shall limit the rights of the ABL Agent and the ABL Secured Parties, on the one hand, and the First Lien Notes Agent, the First Lien Notes Secured Parties, and the Future Notes Indebtedness Secured Parties, on the other hand, from seeking or requesting adequate protection with respect to their respective interests in the applicable Collateral in any Insolvency Proceeding, including adequate protection in the form of a cash payment, periodic cash payments, cash payments of interest, additional collateral or otherwise; provided that (a) in the event that the ABL Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the ABL Secured Parties, seeks or requests adequate protection in respect of the ABL Obligations and such adequate protection is granted in the form of a Lien on additional or replacement collateral comprising assets of the type of assets that constitute First Lien Notes Priority Collateral, then the ABL Agent, on behalf of

-31-

itself and each of the ABL Secured Parties, agrees that the First Lien Notes Agent shall have the right to seek or request a senior Lien on such collateral as security and adequate protection for the First Lien Notes Obligations and that any Lien on such collateral securing or providing adequate protection for the ABL Obligations shall be subordinate to the Lien on such collateral securing or providing adequate protection for the First Lien Notes Obligations and (b) in the event that either the First Lien Notes Agent, on behalf of itself, any of the First Lien Notes Secured Parties, or any of the Future Notes Indebtedness Secured Parties, seeks or requests adequate protection in respect of the First Lien Notes Obligations and such adequate protection is granted in the form of a Lien on additional or replacement collateral comprising assets of the type of assets that constitute ABL Priority Collateral, then each of the First Lien Notes Agent, on behalf of itself, each of the First Lien Notes Secured Parties, and each of the Future Notes Indebtedness Secured Parties, agrees that the ABL Agent shall have the right to seek or request a senior Lien on such collateral as security and adequate protection for the ABL Obligations and that any Lien on such collateral securing or providing adequate protection for the First Lien Notes Obligations shall be subordinate to the Lien on such collateral securing or providing adequate protection for the ABL Obligations.

Section 6.10 Plan of Reorganization.

(a) If, in any Insolvency Proceeding, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon the Collateral are distributed, pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, on account of ABL Obligations and on account of First Lien Notes Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the ABL Obligations and on account of the First Lien Notes Obligations are secured by Liens upon the same Collateral, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations.

(b) Each of the ABL Secured Parties and the First Lien Notes Secured Parties may vote on any plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan with respect to the ABL Obligations or the First Lien Notes Obligations (as applicable); provided that none of the ABL Secured Parties or the First Lien Notes Secured Parties shall propose, vote to accept, or otherwise support a plan of reorganization, arrangement, compromise or liquidation or similar dispositive restructuring plan, or any other document, agreement or proposal similar to the foregoing that is inconsistent with or in contravention of the terms of this Agreement.

•	The company has continued to serve customer demand through its scaled e-commerce platform, which at over $4 billion in net sales, represented about one quarter of the company’s sales in fiscal 2019.


•	The company is leveraging its advantaged omni-network with ship from store at over 1,000 locations in 48 states and curbside pickup in dozens of stores, with plans to double those locations this month, to support fulfillment of online demand which has accelerated meaningfully as more customers shopped from home.


•	The company is reducing operating expenses across all aspects of the organization, including through previously announced executive pay and headquarters headcount reductions as it seeks to streamline operations and better align talent and financial resources against the company’s strategic priorities.


•	Through longstanding strategic partnerships with its suppliers and leveraging the flexibility in its supply chain, the company is meaningfully reducing forward inventory receipts.


•	A portion of the proceeds of the notes is being used to redeem the previously issued $1.25 billion unsecured notes due April 2021. This new capital structure will set the company up to navigate the crisis well.
