44

Issuing Bank elects, based upon the advice of counsel, to refund) to Borrowers for any reason.  Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to deliver to Agent, for the account of Issuing Bank, an amount equal to its respective Pro Rata Share of each Letter of Credit Disbursement pursuant to this Section 2.2(e)  shall be absolute and unconditional and such remittance shall be made notwithstanding the occurrence or continuation of an Event of Default or Default or the failure to satisfy any condition set forth in Section 4.2 hereof.  If any such Lender fails to make available to Agent the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of a Letter of Credit Disbursement as provided in this Section, such Lender shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender and Agent (for the account of Issuing Bank) shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon until paid in full at the Base Rate and if such failure continues for three days, at the highest Interest Rate provided for in Section 3.1 applicable to Base Rate Loans.

(g)                                   The liability of Issuing Bank (or any other Letter of Credit Related Person) under, in connection with or arising out of any Letter of Credit (or pre-advice), regardless of the form or legal grounds of the action or proceeding, shall be limited to direct damages suffered by Borrowers that are caused directly by Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in (i) honoring a presentation under a Letter of Credit that on its face does not at least substantially comply with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit, (ii) failing to honor a presentation under a Letter of Credit that strictly complies with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit, or (iii) retaining Drawing Documents presented under a Letter of Credit.  Borrowers’ aggregate remedies against Issuing Bank and any Letter of Credit Related Person for wrongfully honoring a presentation under any Letter of Credit or wrongfully retaining honored Drawing

(h)                                  Borrowers are responsible for the final text of the Letter of Credit as issued by Issuing Bank, irrespective of any assistance Issuing Bank may provide such as drafting or recommending text or by Issuing Bank’s use or refusal to use text submitted by Borrowers.  Borrowers understand that the final form of any Letter of Credit may be subject to such revisions and changes as are deemed necessary or appropriate by Issuing Bank, and Borrowers hereby consent to such revisions and changes not materially different from the application executed in connection therewith.  Borrowers are solely responsible for the suitability of the Letter of Credit for Borrowers’ purposes.  If Borrowers request Issuing Bank to issue a Letter of Credit for an affiliated or unaffiliated third party (an “ Account Party ”), (i) such Account Party shall have no rights against Issuing Bank; (ii) Borrowers shall be responsible for the application and obligations under this Agreement; and (iii) communications (including notices) related to the respective Letter of Credit shall be among Issuing Bank and Borrowers.  Borrowers will examine the copy of the Letter of Credit and any other documents sent by Issuing Bank in connection therewith and shall promptly notify Issuing Bank (not later than three (3) Business Days following Borrowers’ receipt of documents from Issuing Bank) of any non-compliance with Borrowers’ instructions and of any discrepancy in any document under any presentment or other irregularity.  Borrowers understand and agree that Issuing Bank is not required to extend the expiration date of any Letter of Credit for any reason.  With respect to any Letter of Credit containing an “automatic amendment” to extend the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, Issuing Bank, in its sole and absolute discretion, may give notice of nonrenewal of such Letter of Credit and, if Borrowers do not at any time want the then current expiration date of such Letter of Credit to be extended, Borrowers will so notify Agent and Issuing Bank at least thirty (30) calendar days before Issuing Bank is required to notify the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any advising bank of such non-extension pursuant to the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(i)                                      Borrowers’ reimbursement and payment obligations under this Section 2.11 are absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever; provided , that subject to Section 2.11(g)  hereof, the foregoing shall not release Issuing Bank from such liability to Borrowers as may be finally determined in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction against Issuing Bank following reimbursement or payment of the obligations and liabilities, including reimbursement and other payment obligations, of Borrowers to Issuing Bank arising under, or in connection with, this Section 2.11 or any Letter of Credit.

(n)                                  If (i) any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, or (ii) Excess Availability shall at any time be less than zero, then on the Business Day following the date when the Administrative Borrower receives notice from Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Obligations has been accelerated, Lenders with Letter of Credit Exposure representing greater than fifty (50%) percent of the total Letter Credit Exposure) demanding Letter of Credit Collateralization pursuant to this Section 2.2(n)  upon such demand, Borrowers shall provide Letter of Credit Collateralization with respect to the then existing Letter of Credit Usage.  If Borrowers are required to provide Letter of Credit Collateralization hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, any cash collateral held by Agent as a result of such Letter of Credit Collateralization shall be returned by Agent to Borrowers promptly, but in no event later than seven (7) Business Days, after such Event of Default has been waived in accordance with this Agreement.  If Borrowers fail to provide Letter of Credit Collateralization as required by this Section 2.2(n) , the Lenders may (and, upon direction of Agent, shall) advance, as Revolving Loans the amount of the cash collateral required pursuant to the Letter of Credit Collateralization provision so that the then existing Letter of Credit Usage is cash collateralized in accordance with the Letter of Credit Collateralization provision (whether or not the Commitments have terminated or the conditions in Section 4.2 are satisfied).

49

with each other.  In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the terms and provisions of this Section 2.2 shall control and govern.

(r)                                     The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment in full of the Obligations with respect to any Letters of Credit that remain outstanding.

(s)                                    At Borrowers’ costs and expense, Borrowers shall execute and deliver to Issuing Bank such additional certificates, instruments and/or documents and take such additional action as may be reasonably requested by Issuing Bank to enable Issuing Bank to issue any Letter of Credit pursuant to this Agreement and related Issuer Document, to protect, exercise and/or enforce Issuing Banks’ rights and interests under this Agreement or to give effect to the terms and provisions of this Agreement or any Issuer Document.  Each Borrower irrevocably appoints Issuing Bank as its attorney-in-fact and authorizes Issuing Bank, without notice to Borrowers, to execute and deliver ancillary documents and letters customary in the letter of credit business that may include but are not limited to advisements, indemnities, checks, bills of exchange and issuance documents.  The power of attorney granted by the Borrowers is limited solely to such actions related to the issuance, confirmation or amendment of any Letter of Credit and to ancillary documents or letters customary in the letter of credit business.  This appointment is coupled with an interest.

(t)                                     If any Letter of Credit is outstanding at the time that a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i)                                      such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares but only to the extent (A) the sum of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Pro Rata Share of the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans plus such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure does not exceed the total of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments and (B) the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 hereof are satisfied at such time;

(ii)                                   if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, Borrowers shall within one Business Day following notice by the Agent, cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) pursuant to a cash collateral agreement to be entered into in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, for so long as such Letter of Credit Exposure is outstanding; provided , that Borrowers shall not be obligated to cash collateralize any Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure if such Defaulting Lender is also Issuing Bank;

(iii)                                if Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure pursuant to Section 2.2(t)(ii)  hereof, Borrowers shall not be required to pay any Letter of Credit Fees to Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.2(b)  hereof with respect to such cash collateralized portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure during the period such Letter of Credit Exposure is cash collateralized;

50

(iv)                               to the extent the Letter of Credit Exposure of the Non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to Section 2.2(t)(i)  hereof, then the Letter of Credit Fees payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to Section 3.2(b)  hereof shall be adjusted in accordance with such Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Letter of Credit Exposure;

(v)                                  to the extent any Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to Section 2.2(t)  hereof, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, all Letter of Credit Fees that would have otherwise been payable to such Defaulting Lender under Section 3.2(b)  hereof with respect to such portion of such Letter of Credit Exposure shall instead be payable to Issuing Bank until such portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is cash collateralized or reallocated; and

(vi)                               Agent may release any cash collateral provided by Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.2(t)(ii)  hereof to Issuing Bank and Issuing Bank may apply any such cash collateral to the payment of such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Letter of Credit Disbursement that is not reimbursed by Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.2(d)  hereof.  Subject to Section 13.12 hereof, 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.

2.3                    Increase in Maximum Credit.

(a)                                  Administrative Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, deliver a written request to Agent to increase the Maximum Credit.  Any such written request shall specify the amount of the requested increase in the Maximum Credit that Administrative Borrower is requesting, provided , that , (i) in no event shall the aggregate amount of any increase in the Maximum Credit cause the Maximum Credit to exceed $300,000,000, (ii) any such request for an increase shall be for an increase of not less than $10,000,000, (iii) any such request shall be irrevocable, and (iv) in no event shall more than two (2) such increases be made in any calendar year.

(b)                                  Upon the receipt by Agent of a written request to increase the Maximum Credit, Agent shall notify each of the Lenders of such request and each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) shall have the option (but not the obligation) to increase the amount of its Commitment by an amount up to its Pro Rata Share of the amount of the increase in the Maximum Credit requested by Administrative Borrower as set forth in the notice from Agent to such Lender.  Each Lender shall notify Agent within thirty (30) days (or such shorter period as Agent and Administrative Borrower shall specify and agree) after the receipt of such notice of a request for such increase from Agent whether it is willing to so increase its Commitment, and if so, the amount of such increase; provided , that , no Lender shall be obligated to provide such increase in its Commitment and the determination to increase the Commitment of a Lender shall be within the sole and absolute discretion of such Lender.  If the aggregate amount of the increases in the Commitments received from the Lenders does not equal or exceed the amount of the increase in the Maximum Credit requested by Administrative Borrower, Agent and Administrative Borrower may seek additional increases from Lenders or Commitments from such Eligible Transferees as they may determine.  In the event Lenders (or Lenders and any such

51

Eligible Transferees, as the case may be) have committed in writing to provide increases in their Commitments or new Commitments in an aggregate amount in excess of the increase in the Maximum Credit requested by Borrowers or permitted hereunder, Agent and Administrative Borrower shall then have the right to allocate such commitments, first to Lenders and then to Eligible Transferees, in such amounts and manner as Agent and Administrative Borrower may determine.

(c)                                   In the event of a request to increase the Maximum Credit, the Maximum Credit shall be increased by the amount of the increase in Commitments from Lenders or new Commitments from Eligible Transferees, in each case selected in accordance with Section 2.3(b) , for which Agent has received Assignment and Acceptances (or other agreements acceptable to Agent and Administrative Borrower) within sixty (60) days after the date of the request by Administrative Borrower for the increase or such earlier date as Agent and Administrative Borrower may agree (but subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth below), whether or not the aggregate amount of the increase in Commitments and new Commitments, as the case may be, equal or exceed the amount of the increase in the Maximum Credit requested by Administrative Borrower in accordance with the terms hereof, effective on the date that each of the following conditions have been satisfied:

(i)                                      Agent shall have received from each Lender or Eligible Transferee that is providing an additional Commitment as part of the increase in the Maximum Credit, an Assignment and Acceptance (or another agreement acceptable to Agent and Administrative Borrower) duly executed by such Lender or Eligible Transferee and Administrative Borrower;

(ii)                                   the conditions precedent to the making of Revolving Loans set forth in Section 4.2 hereof shall be satisfied as of the date of the increase in the Maximum Credit, both before and after giving effect to such increase;

(iii)                                Agent shall have received such agreements, documents and instruments (including legal opinions) as Agent may reasonably request, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent;

(iv)                               such increase in the Maximum Credit on the date of the effectiveness thereof shall not violate any applicable law, regulation or order or decree of any court or other Governmental Authority and shall not be enjoined, temporarily, preliminarily or permanently;

(v)                                  there shall have been paid to each Lender and Eligible Transferee providing an additional Commitment in connection with such increase in the Maximum Credit all fees (including any additional commitment fees) due and payable to such Person on or before the effectiveness of such increase; and

(vi)                               there shall have been paid to Agent all costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) due and payable to Agent pursuant to any of the Financing Agreements on or before the effectiveness of such increase.

(d)                                  As of the effective date of any such increase in the Maximum Credit, each reference to the term Maximum Credit and Commitments herein and in any of the other

52

Financing Agreements shall be deemed amended to mean the amount of the Maximum Credit and Commitments specified in the most recent written notice from Agent to Administrative Borrower of the increase in the Maximum Credit and Commitments.

(e)                                   Borrowers shall, in coordination with Agent, prepay certain Revolving Loans outstanding on the effective date of such increase and incur additional Loans from certain other Lenders with outstanding Revolving Loans or Commitments, in each case to the extent necessary so that all Lenders with Commitments participate in each outstanding borrowing hereunder pro rata on the basis of their respective Commitments (after giving effect to any increase in the Maximum Credit and Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.3 ).  At the time of any increase in the Maximum Credit and Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.3 , the Pro Rata Shares of the Lenders shall be automatically adjusted based upon their Commitments after giving effect to such increase in the Maximum Credit and Commitments so that all Lenders shall share in all liabilities with respect to Letters of Credit and outstandings pursuant thereto in accordance with their revised Pro Rata Shares.  Upon the effectiveness of any increase in the Maximum Credit and Commitments under this Section 2.3 , Administrative Borrower and Agent may (without the consent of any Lender) amend this Agreement to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect such increase in the Maximum Credit and Commitments.

(f)                                    This Section 2.3 shall supersede any provisions in Sections 6.8 and 11.3 hereof to the contrary.

2.4                  Decrease in Maximum Credit.

(a)                                  Administrative Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, deliver a written request to Agent to decrease the Maximum Credit.  Any such written request shall specify the amount of the decrease in the Maximum Credit that Administrative Borrower is requesting and the effective date of such decrease (which date shall not be less than five (5) nor more than ten (10) Business Days after the date of such request); provided , that , (i) any such request for a decrease shall be for an amount of not less than $10,000,000, (ii) any such request shall be irrevocable, and (iii) in no event shall more than one (1) such decrease be made in any calendar year.

(b)                                  Upon the receipt by Agent of a written request to decrease the Maximum Credit, Agent shall notify each of the Lenders of such request and the Commitment of each Lender shall be decreased on the date requested by Administrative Borrower by an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of the decrease in the Maximum Credit requested by Administrative Borrower as set forth in the notice from Agent to such Lender.

(c)                                   In the event of a request to decrease the Maximum Credit, the Maximum Credit shall be decreased by the amount of the decrease in Maximum Credit requested by Administrative Borrower in accordance with the terms hereof; provided , that , after giving effect to such decrease, the Maximum Credit shall not be less than the aggregate amount of the Loans and Letters of Credit outstanding at such time.

(d)                                  As of the effective date of any such decrease in the Maximum Credit, each reference to the term Maximum Credit and Commitments herein and in any of the other Financing Agreements shall be deemed amended to mean the amount of the Maximum Credit

53

and Commitments specified in the most recent written notice from Agent to Administrative Borrower of the decrease in the Maximum Credit and Commitments.

2.5                    Commitments .  The aggregate amount of each Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Loans and Letters of Credit shall not exceed the amount of such Lender’s Commitment, as the same may from time to time be amended in accordance with the provisions hereof.

SECTION 3.                             INTEREST AND FEES; PROCEDURES FOR BORROWING

3.1                    Interest; Procedures for Borrowing .

(b)                                  Each Borrower (or Administrative Borrower on behalf of such Borrower) may from time to time request Base Rate Loans by a written request by an Authorized Person delivered to Agent (which may be delivered through Agent’s electronic platform or portal).  All such requests which are not made on-line via Agent’s electronic platform or portal shall be subject to (and unless Agent elects otherwise in the exercise of its sole discretion, such borrowings shall not be made until the completion of) Agent’s authentication process (with results satisfactory to Agent) prior to the funding of any such requested Revolving Loan.  Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, if Agent receives such a request on the Business Day specified in such request, the Base Rate Loan requested in such request shall be made on such Business Day; provided , that , if Agent receives such a request after 12:00 noon Chicago, Illinois time on any Business Day, the Base Rate Loan requested in such request shall be made not later than the next succeeding Business Day after the Business Day that such request is received by Agent.  Each Borrower (or Administrative Borrower on behalf of such Borrower) may from time to time request Eurodollar Rate Loans or may request that Base Rate Loans be converted to Eurodollar Rate Loans or that any existing Eurodollar Rate Loans continue for an additional Interest Period.  Such request from a Borrower (or Administrative Borrower on behalf of such Borrower) must be received by Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. Chicago, Illinois time three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Eurodollar Rate Loans or any conversion to, or continuation of, any Eurodollar Rate Loans and shall specify the amount of the Eurodollar Rate Loans or the amount of the Base Rate Loans to be converted to Eurodollar Rate Loans or the amount of the Eurodollar Rate Loans to be continued (subject to the limits set forth below) and the Interest Period to be applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loans.  Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, after receipt by Agent of such a request (or deemed request) from a Borrower (or Administrative Borrower on behalf of such Borrower), such Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made or Base Rate Loans shall be converted to Eurodollar Rate Loans or such Eurodollar Rate Loans shall continue, as the case may be, provided , that , (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) no more than six (6) Interest Periods may be in effect at any one time, and (iii) the aggregate amount of the Eurodollar Rate Loans must be in an amount not less than $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.  Any request (or deemed request) by or on behalf of a Borrower for Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans or to continue any existing Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be irrevocable.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained

54

herein, Agent and Lenders shall not be required to purchase United States Dollar deposits in the London interbank market or other applicable Eurodollar Rate market to fund any Eurodollar Rate Loans, but the provisions hereof shall be deemed to apply as if Agent and Lenders had purchased such deposits to fund the Eurodollar Rate Loans.

(c)                                   Unless Agent has received a request to the contrary from a Borrower (or Administrative Borrower on behalf of such Borrower) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the last day of the Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Loan, Administrative Borrower shall, automatically and without any further action, be deemed to have requested that the entire amount of such Eurodollar Rate Loan be continued as a new Eurodollar Rate Loan having an Interest Period of one (1) month; provided , that , if the conditions contained in Section 3.1(b)  hereof with respect to the continuation of such Eurodollar Rate Loan are not satisfied, then such Eurodollar Rate Loan shall automatically convert to Base Rate Loans upon the last day of the applicable Interest Period.  Any Eurodollar Rate Loans shall, at Agent’s option, upon notice by Agent to Parent, be subsequently converted to Base Rate Loans in the event that this Agreement shall terminate or not be renewed and any such Eurodollar Rate Loans remain outstanding.

(d)                                  Interest shall be payable by Borrowers to Agent, for the account of Lenders, monthly in arrears not later than the first day of each calendar month and shall be calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year (or, in the case of Base Rate Loans, a 365 or 366 day year, as the case may be) and actual days elapsed.  The interest rate on Base Rate Loans shall increase or decrease by an amount equal to each increase or decrease in the Base Rate effective on the day of any change in such Base Rate is announced.  In no event shall charges constituting interest payable by Borrowers to Agent and Lenders exceed the maximum amount or the rate permitted under any applicable law or regulation, and if any such part or provision of this Agreement is in contravention of any such law or regulation, such part or provision shall be deemed amended to conform thereto.

3.2                    Fees .

(a)                                  Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the account of Lenders, monthly an unused line fee at a rate equal to the Applicable Fee Rate per annum calculated upon the amount by which the Maximum Credit exceeds the average daily principal balance of the outstanding Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit during the immediately preceding month (or part thereof) while this Agreement is in effect and for so long thereafter as any of the Obligations are outstanding, which fee shall be payable on the first day of each month in arrears.

(b)                                  Borrowers shall pay Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Lenders), a Letter of Credit fee (the “ Letter of Credit Fee ”) (which fee shall be in addition to the fronting fees and commissions, other fees, charges and expenses set forth in Section 2.2(k) hereof ) on the daily outstanding balance of (a) each Standby Letter of Credit at a rate per annum equal to the then Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Rate Loans and (b) each Commercial Letter of Credit at a rate per annum equal to one-half (1/2) of the then Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Rate Loans, in each case payable monthly in arrears on the first Business Day of each month.

(c)                                   Borrowers agree to pay to Agent the other fees and amounts set forth in the Fee Letter in the amounts and at the times specified therein.

55

3.3                    Changes in Laws and Increased Costs of Loans .

(a)                                  If after the date hereof, either (i) any change in, or in the interpretation of, any law or regulation is introduced, including, without limitation, with respect to reserve requirements (other than reserve requirements to the extent reflected in the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate as determined by Agent in good faith), applicable to Lender or any banking or financial institution from whom any Lender borrows funds or obtains credit (a “ Funding Bank ”), or (ii) a Funding Bank or any Lender complies with any future guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority or (iii) a Funding Bank or any Lender determines that the adoption after the date hereof of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof has or would have the effect described below, or a Funding Bank or any Lender complies with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, and in the case of any event set forth in this clause (iii), such adoption, change or compliance has or would have the direct or indirect effect of reducing the rate of return on any Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the Funding Bank’s or Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, and the result of any of the foregoing events described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) is or results in an increase in the cost to any Lender of funding or maintaining the Loans, the Letters of Credit or its Commitment, then Loan Parties shall from time to time, no later than ten (10) Business Days following demand by Agent, pay to Agent additional amounts sufficient to indemnify Lenders against such increased cost on an after-tax basis (after taking into account applicable deductions and credits in respect of the amount indemnified).  A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost shall be submitted to Administrative Borrower by Agent and shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.  Failure or delay on the part of Agent to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 3.1(a)  shall not constitute a waiver of Agent’s right to demand such compensation; provided , that , Loan Parties shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 3.1(a)  for any increased costs incurred more than six months prior to the date Agent notifies Administrative Borrower of such increased costs (except, that, if the change in law or other event giving rise to such increased costs is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).  The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated thereunder or in connection therewith shall be deemed to have gone into effect after the date hereof regardless of the date actually enacted, adopted, promulgated or issued.

(b)                                  If prior to the first day of any Interest Period, (i) Agent shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Loan Parties) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, (ii) Agent has received notice from the Required Lenders that the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lenders of making or maintaining Eurodollar Rate Loans during such Interest Period, or (iii) Dollar deposits in the principal amounts of the Eurodollar Rate Loans to which such Interest Period is to be applicable are not generally available in the London interbank market, Agent shall

give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to Administrative Borrower as soon as practicable thereafter, and will also give prompt written notice to Administrative Borrower when such conditions no longer exist.  If such notice is given (A) any Eurodollar Rate Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as Base Rate Loans, (B) any Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be converted to or continued as Base Rate Loans and (C) each outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period thereof, to Base Rate Loans.  Until such notice has been withdrawn by Agent, no further Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made or continued as such, nor shall any Borrower (or Administrative Borrower on behalf of any Borrower) have the right to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans.

(c)                                   Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any law, treaty, rule or regulation or final, non-appealable determination of an arbitrator or a court or other Governmental Authority or in the interpretation or application thereof occurring after the date hereof shall make it unlawful for Agent or any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (i) Agent or such Lender shall promptly give written notice of such circumstances to Administrative Borrower (which notice shall be withdrawn whenever such circumstances no longer exist), (ii) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Rate Loans, continue Eurodollar Rate Loans as such and convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall forthwith be canceled and, until such time as it shall no longer be unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans, such Lender shall then have a commitment only to make a Base Rate Loan when a Eurodollar Rate Loan is requested and (iii) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Rate Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law.  If any such conversion of a Eurodollar Rate Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, Loan Parties shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 3.3(d)  below.

(d)                                  Loan Parties shall indemnify Agent and each Lender and hold Agent and each Lender harmless from any loss or expense which Agent or such Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of (i) default by Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or extension of Eurodollar Rate Loans after such Borrower (or Administrative Borrower on behalf of such Borrower) has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Loan Agreement, (ii) default by any Borrower in making any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan after such Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and (iii) the making of a prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans, or the conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans, on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto.  With respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans, such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (A) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or extended, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or extend to the last day of the applicable Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or extend, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Eurodollar Rate Loans provided for herein over (B) the amount of interest (as determined by Agent or such Lender in good faith) which would have accrued to Agent or such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a

57

comparable period with leading banks in the interbank Eurodollar market.  This covenant shall survive the termination or non-renewal of this Loan Agreement and the payment of the Obligations.

3.4                    Effect of Benchmark Transition Event .

(a)                                  Benchmark Replacement .  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Financing Agreement, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, Agent and Administrative Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate with a Benchmark Replacement.  Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event (or an Early Opt-in Election) will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after Agent has provided notice to all Lenders of such proposed amendment so long as Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from the Required Lenders.  No replacement of the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 3.4 will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

(b)                                  Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes .  In connection with a Benchmark Replacement, Agent shall have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Financing Agreement, any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes (together with the replacement of the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate with a Benchmark Replacement) will become effective without any further action or the consent of any Lender or any other party to this Agreement.

65

account is to be opened or established, the individual at such bank with whom such Loan Party is dealing and the purpose of the account, except as to any Store Account opened or established after the date hereof, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Agent shall only have received such information as to such Store Account on the next monthly report with respect to deposit accounts in accordance with Section 7.1(a)  hereof, (ii) the bank where such account is opened or maintained shall be a Lender or shall otherwise be acceptable to Agent (and Agent hereby acknowledges that any bank at which a deposit account is maintained on the Amendment No. 3 Effective Date as set forth in the Information Certificate is acceptable to Agent), and (iii) on or before the opening of such deposit account (other than a Store Account or a disbursement account so long as no Event or Default shall exist or have occurred and be continuing or so long as such Store Account or disbursement account is not maintained at a bank which also maintains a collection, lockbox or concentration account of a Loan Party) such Loan Party shall deliver to Agent a Deposit Account Control Agreement with respect to such deposit account duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Loan Party and the bank at which such deposit account is opened and maintained.  The terms of this subsection (d) shall not apply to escrow accounts, petty cash accounts, or deposit accounts specifically and exclusively used for lottery payments, payroll, payroll taxes, workers compensation insurance payments and other employee wage and benefit payments to or for the benefit of any Loan Party’s salaried employees or deposit accounts specifically and exclusively used for amounts subject to the Liens permitted under Section 9.8(g)  hereof.

(g)                                   Loan Parties shall not after the date hereof open, establish or maintain any investment account, securities account, commodity account or any other similar account with any securities intermediary or commodity intermediary unless each of the following conditions is satisfied: (A) Agent shall have received not less than five (5) Business Days prior written notice (or such lesser period as Agent may agree) of the opening or establishment by such Loan Party of such account, which notice shall specify in reasonable detail and specificity the name of the account, the owner of the account, the name and address of the securities intermediary or

(b)                                  Each Borrower shall deposit all proceeds of Collateral in the form of cash, cash equivalents, checks and other items of payment of a type ordinarily deposited into a deposit account from each retail store location of such Borrower on each Business Day (in the case of checks and other items of payment) or within two (2) Business Days (in the case of cash or cash equivalents) into the Store Account of such Borrower used solely for such purpose; provided , that , the retail stores of Borrowers shall be permitted to retain cash at such retail stores in an aggregate amount as to all such retail stores equal to the product of $60,000 multiplied by the number of such retail stores, immediately after giving effect to the deposit of funds from such store into the applicable Store Account.  All such available funds deposited into the Store Accounts shall be sent by wire transfer or other electronic funds transfer on each Business Day to the Blocked Accounts as provided in Section 6.3(c) , except for amounts required to be maintained in such Store Accounts under the terms of such Borrower’s arrangements with the bank at which such Store Accounts are maintained (which amounts in all such Store Accounts in the aggregate shall not at any time exceed the product of $40,000 multiplied by the number of

69

Without limiting any other rights or remedies of Agent or Lenders, in the event that a Deposit Account Control Agreement is in effect for a Store Account, then Agent may, at its option, and shall (upon the direction of the Required Lenders), instruct the depository bank at which the Store Account is maintained to transfer all available funds received or deposited into the Store Account to the Agent Payment Account at any time that an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.  At all times that Agent shall have notified any depository bank to transfer funds from a Blocked Account or Store Account to the Agent Payment Account, all payments made to such Blocked Accounts or Store Accounts, whether in respect of the Receivables, as proceeds of Inventory or other Collateral or otherwise shall be treated as payments to Agent in respect of the Obligations and therefore shall constitute the property of Agent and Lenders to the extent of the then outstanding Obligations.  Without duplication of the provisions of the last sentence of subsections (b) and (e) of this Section 6.3 , the provisions of this subsection (c) shall not apply to any amounts required to be deposited into deposit accounts specifically and exclusively used for lottery payments.

70

Account by 1:30 p.m. Chicago, Illinois time, and if received in the Agent Payment Account on any Business Day after 1:30 p.m. Chicago, Illinois time, then on the next Business Day.

6.6                    Use of Proceeds .  All Loans made or Letters of Credit provided to or for the benefit of any Borrower pursuant to the provisions hereof shall be used by such Borrower only for general operating, working capital, and other proper corporate purposes of any Loan Party not

(b)                                  Administrative Borrower hereby accepts the appointment by Borrowers to act as the agent of Borrowers pursuant to this Section 6.7 .  Administrative Borrower shall ensure that the disbursement of any Loans to each Borrower requested by or paid to or for the account of Parent, or the issuance of any Letters of Credit for a Borrower hereunder, shall be paid to or for the account of such Borrower.

73

(e)                                   No purported termination of the appointment of Administrative Borrower as agent as aforesaid shall be effective, except after ten (10) days’ prior written notice to Agent.

(a)                                  Each Loan Party agrees that, in addition to (and without limitation of) any right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim Agent or any Lender may otherwise have, each Lender shall be entitled, at its option (but subject, as among Agent and Lenders, to the provisions of Section 12.3(b)  hereof), to offset balances held by it for the account of such Loan Party at any of its offices, in dollars or in any other currency, against any principal of or interest on any Loans owed to such Lender or any other amount payable to such Lender hereunder, that is not paid when due (regardless of whether such balances are then due to such Loan Party), in which case it shall promptly notify Administrative Borrower and Agent thereof; provided , that , such Lender’s failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity thereof.

(b)                                  If any Lender (including Agent) shall obtain from any Loan Party payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan owing to it or payment of any other amount under this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements through the exercise of any right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim or similar right or otherwise (other than as provided herein), and, as a result of such payment, such Lender shall have received more than its Pro Rata Share of the principal of the Loans or more than its share of such other amounts then due hereunder or thereunder by any Loan Party to such Lender than the percentage thereof received by any other Lender, it shall promptly pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, the amount of such excess and simultaneously purchase from such other Lenders a participation in the Loans or such other amounts, respectively, owing to such other Lenders (or such interest due thereon, as the case may be) in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all Lenders shall share the benefit of such excess payment (net of any expenses that may be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such excess payment) in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares or as otherwise agreed by Lenders.  To such end all Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participation sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored.

(c)                                   Each Loan Party agrees that any Lender purchasing a participation (or direct interest) as provided in this Section may exercise, in a manner consistent with this Section, all rights of setoff, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Loans or other amounts (as the case may be) owing to such Lender in the amount of such participation.

(d)                                  Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any right of setoff, banker’s lien, counterclaims or similar rights or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other

74

Indebtedness or obligation of any Loan Party.  If, under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, assign such rights to Agent for the benefit of Lenders and, in any event, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of Lenders entitled under this Section to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

6.10             Settlement Procedures .

(a)          In order to administer the Credit Facility in an efficient manner and to minimize the transfer of funds between Agent and Lenders, Agent shall (so long as the aggregate amount of Revolving Loans since the last day of the immediately preceding Settlement Period plus the amount of the requested Revolving Loans does not exceed $25,000,000) and otherwise Agent may, at its option, in any case subject to the terms of this Section, make available, on behalf of Lenders and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the full amount of the Loans requested or charged to any Borrower’s Loan Account or otherwise to be advanced by Lenders pursuant to the terms hereof, without requirement of prior notice to Lenders of the proposed Loans.

(b)          With respect to all Loans made by Agent on behalf of Lenders as provided in this Section, the amount of each Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Loans shall be computed weekly, and shall be adjusted upward or downward on the basis of the amount of the outstanding Loans as of 5:00 p.m. Chicago, Illinois time on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of each settlement computation; provided , that , Agent retains the absolute right at any time or from time to time to make the above described adjustments at intervals more frequent than weekly, but in no event more than twice in any week.  Agent shall deliver to each of the Lenders after the end of each week, or at such lesser period or periods as Agent shall determine, a summary statement of the amount of outstanding Loans for such period (such week or lesser period or periods being hereinafter referred to as a “ Settlement Period ”).  If the summary statement is sent by Agent and received by a Lender prior to 12:00 noon Chicago, Illinois time, then such Lender shall make the settlement transfer described in this Section by no later than 3:00 p.m. Chicago, Illinois time on the same Business Day and if received by a Lender after 12:00 noon Chicago, Illinois time, then such Lender shall make the settlement transfer by not later than 3:00 p.m. Chicago, Illinois time on the next Business Day following the date of receipt.  If, as of the end of any Settlement Period, the amount of a Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Loans is more than such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Loans as of the end of the previous Settlement Period, then such Lender shall forthwith (but in no event later than the time set forth in the preceding sentence) transfer to Agent by wire transfer in immediately available funds the amount of the increase.  Alternatively, if the amount of a Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Loans in any Settlement Period is less than the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Loans for the previous Settlement Period, Agent shall forthwith transfer to such Lender by wire transfer in immediately available funds the amount of the decrease.  The obligation of each of the Lenders to transfer such funds and effect such settlement shall be irrevocable and unconditional and without recourse to or warranty by Agent.  Agent and each Lender agrees to mark its books and records at the end of each Settlement Period to show at all times the dollar amount of its Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Loans and Letters of Credit.  Each Lender shall only be entitled to receive interest on its Pro Rata Share of the Loans to the extent such Loans have been funded by such Lender.

Because the Agent on behalf of Lenders may be advancing and/or may be repaid Loans prior to the time when Lenders will actually advance and/or be repaid such Loans, interest with respect to Loans shall be allocated by Agent in accordance with the amount of Loans actually advanced by and repaid to each Lender and the Agent and shall accrue from and including the date such Loans are so advanced to but excluding the date such Loans are either repaid by Borrowers or actually settled with the applicable Lender as described in this Section.

(c)           To the extent that Agent has made any such amounts available and the settlement described above shall not yet have occurred, upon repayment of any Loans by a Borrower, Agent may apply such amounts repaid directly to any amounts made available by Agent pursuant to this Section.  In lieu of weekly or more frequent settlements, Agent may, at its option, at any time require each Lender to provide Agent with immediately available funds representing its Pro Rata Share of each Loan, prior to Agent’s disbursement of such Loan to Borrower.  In such event, upon receipt by Agent of any request to borrow Loans by a Borrower, Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof.  In such event, (a) if a Lender receives notice of a Borrower’s request to borrow a Base Rate Loan by 1:00 p.m. Chicago, Illinois time on any Business Day, such Lender shall make the amount of its Pro Rata Share of such Base Rate Loan available to Agent by 3:00 p.m. Chicago, Illinois time on such Business Day; provided , that , if a Lender receives notice of a Borrower’s request to borrow Base Rate Loans after 1:00 p.m. Chicago, Illinois time on any Business Day, such Lender shall make the amount of its Pro Rata Share of such Base Rate Loan available to Agent by 1:00 p.m. Chicago, Illinois time on the next succeeding Business Day, and (b) if a Lender receives notice of a Borrower’s request to borrow a Eurodollar Rate Loan by 5:00 p.m. Chicago, Illinois time on any Business Day, such Lender shall make the amount of its Pro Rata Share of such Eurodollar Rate Loan available to Agent by 1:00 p.m. Chicago, Illinois time on the third Business Day following the receipt by such Lender of such notice; provided , that , if a Lender receives notice of a Borrower’s request to borrow a Eurodollar Rate Loan after 5:00 p.m. Chicago, Illinois time on any Business Day, such Lender shall make the amount of its Pro Rata Share of such Eurodollar Rate Loan available to Agent by 1:00 p.m. Chicago, Illinois time on the fourth Business Day following the receipt by such Lender of such notice.  No Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in the other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder nor shall the Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of the default by any other Lender in the other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan hereunder.

(d)          If Agent is not funding a particular Loan to a Borrower (or Administrative Borrower for the benefit of such Borrower) pursuant to Sections 6.10(a)  and 6.10(b)  above on any day, but is requiring each Lender to provide Agent with immediately available funds on the date of such Loan as provided in Section 6.10(c)  above, Agent may assume that each Lender will make available to Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Loan requested or otherwise made on such day and Agent may, in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, cause a corresponding amount to be made available to or for the benefit of such Borrower on such day.  If Agent makes such corresponding amount available to a Borrower and such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to Agent by such Lender, Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon for each day from the date such payment was due until the date such amount is paid to Agent at the Federal Funds Rate for each day during such period (as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or at Agent’s option based on the arithmetic mean determined by Agent of the rates for the last transaction in overnight Federal funds arranged prior to 9:00 a.m. (Chicago, Illinois time) on that

76

day by each of the three leading brokers of Federal funds transactions in Chicago, Illinois selected by Agent) and if such amounts are not paid within three (3) days of Agent’s demand, at the highest Interest Rate provided for in Section 3.1 hereof applicable to Base Rate Loans.  During the period in which such Lender has not paid such corresponding amount to Agent, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements, the amount so advanced by Agent to or for the benefit of any Borrower shall, for all purposes hereof, be a Loan made by Agent for its own account.  Upon any such failure by a Lender to pay Agent, Agent shall promptly thereafter notify Administrative Borrower of such failure and Borrowers shall pay such corresponding amount to Agent for its own account within five (5) Business Days of Administrative Borrower’s receipt of such notice.  Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments received by Agent for the Defaulting Lender’s benefit, nor shall a Defaulting Lender be entitled to the sharing of any payments hereunder (including any principal, interest or fees).  Amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender shall instead be paid to or retained by Agent.  Agent may hold and, in its discretion, relend to a Borrower the amount of all such payments received or retained by it for the account of such Defaulting Lender.  For purposes of voting or consenting to matters with respect to this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements and determining Pro Rata Shares, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender” and such Lender’s Commitment shall be deemed to be zero (0); provided , that , this provision shall not apply to the vote or consent of a Defaulting Lender in the case of the amendments and waivers described in clauses (i), (ii) and (vi) of Section 11.3(a)  hereof.  This Section shall remain effective with respect to a Defaulting Lender until such default is cured.  The operation of this Section shall not be construed to increase or otherwise affect the Commitment of any Lender, or relieve or excuse the performance by any Borrower or Obligor of their duties and obligations hereunder.

(e)           Nothing in this Section or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Financing Agreements shall be deemed to require Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Lender or to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment hereunder or to prejudice any rights that any Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by any Lender hereunder in fulfilling its Commitment.

6.11             Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights .  The obligation of each Lender hereunder is several, and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligation or commitment of any other Lender hereunder.  Nothing contained in this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements and no action taken by the Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto shall be deemed to constitute the Lenders to be a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity.  The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and subject to Section 12.3 hereof, each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

6.12             Bank Products .  Loan Parties, or any of their Subsidiaries, may (but no such Person is required to) request that the Bank Product Providers provide or arrange for such Person to obtain Bank Products from Bank Product Providers, and each Bank Product Provider may, in its sole discretion, provide or arrange for such Person to obtain the requested Bank Products.  This Section 6.12 shall survive the payment of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.  Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries acknowledge and agree that the obtaining of Bank Products from Bank Product Providers (a) is in the sole discretion of such Bank Product

77

Provider, and (b) is subject to all rules and regulations of such Bank Product Provider.  Each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed a party hereto for purposes of any reference in a Financing Agreement to the parties for whom Agent is acting, provided , that , the rights of such Bank Product Provider hereunder and under any of the other Financing Agreements shall consist exclusively of such Bank Product Provider’s right to share in payments and collections out of the Collateral as set forth herein.  In connection with any such distribution of payments and collections, Agent shall be entitled to assume that no amounts are due to any Bank Product Provider unless such Bank Product Provider has notified Agent in writing of any such liability owed to it as of the date of any such distribution.

6.13             Tax Matters .

(a)                                  Any and all payments by any Loan Party hereunder or under the other Financing Agreements shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings imposed by any Governmental Authority, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding (x) taxes imposed on (or measured by) the net income or franchise taxes of Agent or any Lender or Participant by the jurisdiction in which such Person is organized or has its principal office or, in the case of any Lender, by the jurisdiction in which its applicable lending office is located, (y) any branch profits taxes imposed by the United States of America or any other Governmental Authority or (z) any United States federal withholding taxes imposed as a result of Agent’s, any Lender’s or any Participant’s failure or inability to comply with the requirements of Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code or any regulations promulgated thereunder to establish an exemption from withholding tax thereunder (all such nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities, collectively or individually, “ Taxes ”).  If any Loan Party shall be required to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any other Financing Agreement to Agent or any Lender, (i) the sum payable shall be increased by the amount (an “ additional amount ”) necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 6.13 ) Agent or such Lender shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Loan Party shall make such deductions and (iii) such Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b)                                  In addition, each Loan Party agrees to pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement (“ Other Taxes ”).  Each Loan Party shall deliver to Agent and each Lender official receipts in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes payable hereunder promptly after payment of such Taxes or Other Taxes.

(c)                                   Each Loan Party hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold Agent and each Lender harmless from and against Taxes and Other Taxes (including, without limitation, Taxes and Other Taxes imposed on any amounts payable under this Section 6.13 ) paid by such Person, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted.  Such indemnification shall be paid within 10 days from the date on which any such Person makes

78

written demand therefor specifying in reasonable detail the nature and amount of such Taxes or Other Taxes, which demand shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error.

(d)                                  United States Federal Withholding Tax Compliance Matters :

(i)                                      Each Lender that is not a United States person under the Code (a “ Non US Lender ”) agrees that it shall, no later than the date of this Agreement (or, in the case of a Lender which becomes a party hereto pursuant to Section 13.7 hereof after the date of this Agreement, promptly after the date upon which such Lender becomes a party hereto) deliver to the Agent two properly completed and duly executed copies of either United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI or W-8IMY or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, in each case, claiming complete exemption from, or reduced rate of, United States Federal withholding tax and payments of interest hereunder.  In addition, in the case of a Non US Lender claiming exemption from U.S. Federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, such Non US Lender hereby represents to the Agent and the Borrower that such Non US Lender is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code, is not a 10 percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of any Borrower and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to any Borrower (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code), and such Non US Lender agrees that it shall promptly notify the Agent in the event any such representation is no longer accurate.  Such forms shall be delivered by each Non US Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement and on or before the date, if any, such Non US Lender changes its applicable lending office by designating a different lending office (a “ New Lending Office ”).  In addition, each Non US Lender shall deliver such forms within twenty (20) days after receipt of a written request therefor from Agent or the assigning Lender, as applicable.  Upon the Administrative Borrower’s written request, Agent shall deliver to the Administrative Borrower all such forms received by Agent to the date of such written request.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6.13 , a Non US Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section 6.13 that such Non US Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(ii)                                   Each Lender that is a United States person under the Code shall deliver to Agent two (2) properly completed and duly executed copies of U.S.  Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor form thereto) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. backup withholding tax.  Such forms shall be delivered by each such Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement and thereafter within twenty (20) days after receipt of a written request therefor from any Agent.  Upon Administrative Borrower’s written request, Agent shall deliver to Administrative Borrower all such forms received by Agent to the date of such written request.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6.13 , a Lender described in this Section 6.13 shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section 6.13 that such Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(e)                                   Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Loan Parties shall not be required to indemnify any Non US Lender, or pay any additional amounts to any Non US Lender, in respect of U.S. Federal withholding tax pursuant to this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement to the extent that (i) the obligation to withhold amounts with respect to U.S. Federal withholding tax existed on the date such Non US Lender became a party to this Agreement or, with respect to payments to a New Lending Office, the date such Non US Lender designated such New Lending Office; provided , that this clause (i) shall not apply to the extent

79

the indemnity payment or additional amounts any assignee or transferee of any Lender, or any Lender through a New Lending Office, would be entitled to receive (without regard to this clause (i)) do not exceed the indemnity payment or additional amounts that the person making the assignment or transfer to such assignee or transferee, or such Lender making the designation of such New Lending Office, would have been entitled to receive in the absence of such assignment, transfer or designation, or (ii) the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Non US Lender to comply with the provisions of clause (d) above (irrespective of such Non US Lender’s legal ability to so comply).  In addition, the Loan Parties shall not be required to indemnify or pay any additional amounts in respect of U.S. backup withholding tax to any Lender pursuant to this Agreement or any other Financing Agreement to the extent the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Lender to comply with the provisions of this Section 6.13 (irrespective of such Lender’s legal ability to so comply).

(f)                                    Agent or any Lender claiming any indemnity payment or additional payment amounts payable pursuant to this Section 6.13 shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested in writing by Administrative Borrower or to change the jurisdiction of its applicable lending office if the making of such a filing or change would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any such indemnity payment or additional amount which may thereafter accrue, would not require Agent or such Lender to disclose any information Agent or such Lender deems confidential and would not, in the sole determination of Agent or such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to Agent or such Lender.

(g)                                   If Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Loan Party pursuant to this Section or with respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to such Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided , that Loan Parties shall, promptly upon the request of Agent or any such Lender, repay the amount paid over to any Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to Agent or any such Lender in the event Agent or any such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require Agent or any Lender 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.

(h)                                  The obligations of Loan Parties under this Section 6.13 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations.

(i)                                      If a payment made to a Lender under any Financing Agreement would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable due diligence and reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation only) at the time

80

or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, the Lender granting the participation) such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, the Lender granting the participation) as may be necessary for Agent or Borrowers to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (e), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement .  For purposes of determining withholding taxes under FATCA, from and after the effective date of this Agreement each Loan Party and the Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Agent to treat) the Financing Agreements as not qualifying as “grandfathered obligations” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).

(d)                                  Borrowers and Agent hereby agree that the delivery of the Borrowing Base Certificate through the Agent’s electronic platform or portal or, subject to Agent’s authentication process, by such other electronic method as may be approved by Agent from time to time in its sole discretion, or by such other electronic input of information necessary to calculate the Borrowing Base as may be approved by Agent from time to time in its sole discretion, shall in each case be deemed to satisfy the obligation of Borrowers to execute and deliver such Borrowing Base Certificate, with the same legal effect as if such Borrowing Base Certificate had been manually executed and delivered by Borrowers and delivered to Agent.
