The obligations of Borrower under this Section 2.11 shall remain in full force and effect until all Obligations are paid in full. Borrower intends that this Section 2.11 constitute, and this Section 2.11 shall be deemed to constitute, a "keepwell, support, or other agreement" for the benefit of each other Credit Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

Section 2.12. Establishment of Reserves . Lender shall have the right, from time to time, in the exercise of its Permitted Discretion, to establish Reserves (including Reserves for grower

30

payables) in such amounts and with respect to such matters as Lender deems necessary or appropriate, and to increase or decrease such Reserves. In exercising its reasonable credit judgment, Lender may take into account factors that (a) will or could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the value of any collateral securing the Obligations, the enforceability or priority of the Liens of Lender or the amount that Lender would be likely to receive in the liquidation of such collateral, or (b) may demonstrate that any collateral report or financial information concerning Borrower is incomplete, inaccurate or misleading in any material respect. In exercising its reasonable credit judgment, Reserves may be established against anticipated obligations, contingencies or conditions affecting the Companies, including, without limitation, (i) tax liabilities and other obligations owing to Governmental Authorities, (ii) asserted litigation liabilities, (iii) anticipated remediation for compliance with Environmental Laws, (iv) obligations owing to any lessor of real property, any warehouseman, any processor or any mortgagor on third party mortgaged sites, (v) obligations or liabilities of the Companies under Hedge Agreements, and (vi) cash management obligations.

Section 2.13. Record of Advances; Application of Collections .

(a) Maintenance of Record of Advances . Lender shall maintain records in respect of Borrower that shall reflect (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans and accrued interest, (ii) the unreimbursed Letter of Credit drawings, and (iii) all other Obligations that shall have become payable hereunder (the "Advance Record"). Each entry by Lender in the Advance Record shall be, to the extent permitted by applicable law and absent manifest error, prima facie evidence of the data entered. Such entries by Lender shall not be a condition to Borrower's obligation to repay the Obligations.

(b) Charges, Credits and Reports . Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to charge the Advance Record with all Revolving Loans and all other Obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The Advance Record will be credited in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement with all payments received by Lender directly from Borrower or any other Credit Party or otherwise for the account of Borrower or any other Credit Party pursuant to this Agreement. Lender shall send Borrower monthly statements in accordance with Lender's standard procedures. Any and all such periodic or other statements or reconciliations of the Advance Record shall be final, binding and conclusive upon Borrower and the other Credit Parties in all respects, absent manifest error, unless Lender receives specific written objection thereto from Borrower within thirty (30) Business Days after such statements or reconciliation shall have been sent to Borrower.

(c) Application of Specific Payments . Except for the crediting to the Advance Record of Collections deposited to the Cash Collateral Account as provided below, Borrower shall make all other payments to be made by Borrower under this Agreement with respect to the Obligations not later than 2:00 P.M. (Eastern time) on the day when due, without setoff, counterclaim, defense or deduction of any kind. Payments received after 2:00 P.M. (Eastern time) shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower may specify to Lender the Obligations to which such payment is to be applied. If Borrower does not specify an application for such payment or if an Event of Default has occurred, Lender shall apply such payment in its discretion.

31

(d) Crediting of Collections . For the purpose of calculating interest on the Obligations and determining the aggregate amount of Loans outstanding, the amount of the Revolving Credit Exposure and the availability for additional Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit, all Collections deposited into the Cash Collateral Account shall be credited to the account of Borrower (as reflected in the Advance Record) on the next Business Day after the Business Day on which Lender has received notice of the deposit of the proceeds of such Collections into the Cash Collateral Account (including automated clearinghouse and federal wire transfers); provided that, immediately available funds shall be applied on the same Business Day. Such Collections shall be credited as follows: (i) first to any costs and expenses due under this Agreement, (ii) second, to any fees due and payable under this Agreement, (iii) third, to Base Rate Loans, and (iv) fourth, to Eurodollar Loans. From time to time, upon advance written notice to Borrower, Lender may adopt such additional or modified regulations and procedures as Lender may deem reasonable and appropriate with respect to the operation of the Cash Collateral Account and not substantially inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Application of Deposits in Cash Collateral Account . Deposits of Collections to the Cash Collateral Account shall be credited to the Advance Record of Borrower on a daily basis in accordance with subsection (d) above, and thereby reduce the Revolving Credit Exposure (other than in respect of the undrawn amount of any Letter of Credit outstanding), as Lender may choose, in its sole discretion; provided that, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender will use reasonable efforts to avoid applications of payments that would cause prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan prior to the expiration of the applicable Interest Period. Upon payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of the Commitment, deposits of Collections to the Cash Collateral Account shall be credited by Lender as directed by Borrower.

ARTICLE III. ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS
RELATING TO EURODOLLAR LOANS; INCREASED CAPITAL; TAXES

32

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Loans or issuing Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, Borrower shall pay to Lender, promptly after receipt of a written request therefor, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection (a), Lender shall promptly notify Borrower of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.

(b) If Lender shall have determined that, after the Closing Date, the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity, or liquidity requirements, or in the interpretation or application thereof by a Governmental Authority or compliance by Lender or any corporation controlling Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender's or such corporation's capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder, or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit, to a level below that which Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of Lender or such corporation with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time, upon submission by Lender to Borrower of a written request therefor (which shall include the method for calculating such amount), Borrower shall promptly pay or cause to be paid to Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender or such corporation for such reduction.

(c) For purposes of this Section 3.1 and Section 3.4(a) hereof, the Dodd-Frank Act, any requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning capital adequacy promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, or the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices (or any successor or similar authority) under Basel III, and any rules, regulations, orders, requests, guidelines and directives adopted, promulgated or implemented in connection with any of the foregoing, regardless of the date adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented, are deemed to have been introduced and adopted after the Closing Date.

Section 3.2. Taxes .

33

(a) All payments made by any Credit Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Taxes or Other Taxes. If any Taxes or Other Taxes are required to be deducted or withheld from any amounts payable to Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to Lender (after deducting, withholding and payment of all Taxes and Other Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in the Loan Documents.

(b) Whenever any Taxes or Other Taxes are required to be withheld and paid by a Credit Party, such Credit Party shall timely withhold and pay such taxes to the relevant Governmental Authorities. As promptly as possible thereafter, Borrower shall send to Lender a certified copy of an original official receipt received by such Credit Party showing payment thereof or other evidence of payment reasonably acceptable to Lender. If such Credit Party shall fail to pay any Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate Governmental Authority or fails to remit to Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, such Credit Party and Borrower shall indemnify Lender on demand for any incremental Taxes or Other Taxes paid or payable by Lender as a result of any such failure.

(c) The agreements in this Section 3.2 shall survive the termination of the Loan Documents and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section 3.3. Funding Losses . Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender, promptly after receipt of a written request therefor, and to hold Lender harmless from, any loss or expense that Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after Borrower has given a notice (including a written or verbal notice that is subsequently revoked) requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from Eurodollar Loans after Borrower has given a notice (including a written or verbal notice that is subsequently revoked) thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (c) the making of a prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto or (d) any conversion of a Eurodollar Loan to a Base Rate Loan on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto. Such indemnification shall be in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amounts so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein over (ii) the amount of interest (as determined by Lender) that would have accrued to Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the appropriate London interbank market, along with any administration fee charged by Lender. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 3.3 submitted to Borrower by Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The obligations of Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

34

Section 3.4. Eurodollar Rate Lending Unlawful; Inability to Determine Rate .

(a) If Lender shall determine (which determination shall, upon notice thereof to Borrower, be conclusive and binding on Borrower) that, after the Closing Date, (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law makes it unlawful, or (ii) any Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for Lender to make or continue any Loan as, or to convert (if permitted pursuant to this Agreement) any Loan into, a Eurodollar Loan, the obligations of Lender to make, continue or convert into any such Eurodollar Loan shall, upon such determination, be suspended until Lender shall notify Borrower that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and all outstanding Eurodollar Loans payable to Lender shall automatically convert (if conversion is permitted under this Agreement) into a Base Rate Loan, or be repaid (if no conversion is permitted) at the end of the then current Interest Periods with respect thereto or sooner, if required by law or such assertion.

(b) If Lender determines that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Loan, or that the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender of funding such Loan, Lender will promptly so notify Borrower. Thereafter, the obligation of Lender to make or maintain such Eurodollar Loan shall be suspended until Lender revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of such Eurodollar Loan or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a borrowing of a Base Rate Loan in the amount specified therein.

In addition to the foregoing, Borrower shall provide prompt written notice to Lender of the creation or existence of any Material Indebtedness Agreement that has such more restrictive financial covenants, and shall, within fifteen (15) days thereafter (if requested by Lender), execute and deliver to Lender an amendment to this Agreement that incorporates such more restrictive financial covenants, with such amendment to be in form and substance satisfactory to Lender.

Schedule 6.1 hereto sets forth, as of the Closing Date, each Subsidiary of Borrower (and whether such Subsidiary is a Dormant Subsidiary), its state (or jurisdiction) of formation, its relationship to Borrower, including the percentage of each class of stock (or other equity interest) owned by a Company, each Person that owns the stock or other equity interest of each Subsidiary of a Credit Party, its tax identification number, the location of its chief executive office and its principal place of business. Except as set forth on Schedule 6.1 hereto, Borrower, directly or indirectly, owns all of the equity interests of each of its Subsidiaries.

Section 6.2. Corporate Authority . Each Credit Party has the right and power and is duly authorized and empowered to enter into, execute and deliver the Loan Documents to which it is a party and to perform and observe the provisions of the Loan Documents. The Loan Documents to which each Credit Party is a party have been duly authorized and approved by such Credit Party's board of directors or other governing body, as applicable, and are the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Credit Party, enforceable against such Credit Party in accordance with their respective terms. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents do not conflict with, result in a breach in any of the provisions of, constitute a default under, or result in the creation of a Lien (other than Liens permitted under Section 5.9 hereof) upon any assets or property of any Company under the provisions of, such Company's Organizational Documents or any material agreement to which such Company is a party.

Section 6.3. Compliance with Laws and Contracts . Each Company:

(a) holds all material permits, certificates, licenses, orders, registrations, franchises, authorizations, and other approvals from any Governmental Authority necessary for the conduct of its business and is in compliance, in all material respects, with all applicable laws relating thereto;

(b) is in compliance, in all material respects, with all federal, state, local, or foreign applicable statutes, rules, regulations, and orders including, without limitation, those relating to environmental protection, occupational safety and health, and equal employment practices;

(g) is in compliance with the Patriot Act.

Section 6.4. Litigation and Administrative Proceedings . Except as disclosed on Schedule 6.4 hereto, there are (a) no lawsuits, actions, investigations, examinations or other proceedings pending or threatened against any Company, or in respect of which any Company may have any liability, in any court or before or by any Governmental Authority, arbitration board, or other tribunal, (b) no orders, writs, injunctions, judgments, or decrees of any court or Governmental Authority to which any Company is a party or by which the property or assets of any Company are bound, and (c) no grievances, disputes, or controversies outstanding with any union or other organization of the employees of any Company, or threats of work stoppage, strike, or pending demands for collective bargaining that (in each case) would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 6.5. Title to Assets . Each Company has good title to and ownership of all property it purports to own, which property is free and clear of all Liens, except those permitted under Section 5.9 hereof. Pioneer has no title to, or security interest in, any Inventory of the Companies (other than any Inventory it purchased from a Company in the ordinary course of business or subordinated to Lender in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement). As of the Closing Date, the Companies own the real estate listed on Schedule 6.5 hereto.

Section 6.6. Liens and Security Interests . On and after the Closing Date, except for Liens permitted pursuant to Section 5.9 hereof, (a) there is and will be no U.C.C. Financing Statement or similar notice of Lien outstanding covering any personal property of any Credit Party; (b) there is and will be no mortgage or charge outstanding covering any real property of any Credit Party; and (c) no real or personal property of any Credit Party is subject to any Lien of any kind. Upon the filing of the U.C.C. Financing Statements and taking such other actions necessary to perfect its Lien against collateral of the corresponding type as authorized hereunder, Lender has, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, a valid and enforceable first Lien on the collateral securing the Obligations. No Credit Party has entered into any contract or agreement (other than a contract or agreement entered into in connection with the purchase or lease of fixed assets that prohibits Liens on such fixed assets) that exists on or after the Closing Date that would prohibit Lender from acquiring a Lien on, or a collateral assignment of, any of the property or assets of any Credit Party.

56

Section 6.7. Tax Returns . All federal, state and local tax returns and other reports required by law to be filed in respect of the income, business, properties and employees of each Company have been filed and all taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental charges that are due and payable have been paid, except as otherwise permitted herein. To Borrower's knowledge, the provision for taxes on the books of each Company is adequate for all years not closed by applicable statutes and for the current fiscal year.

Section 6.8. Environmental Laws . Each Company is in material compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws, including, without limitation, all Environmental Laws in all jurisdictions in which any Company owns or operates, or has owned or operated, a facility or site, arranges or has arranged for disposal or treatment of hazardous substances, solid waste or other wastes, accepts or has accepted for transport any hazardous substances, solid waste or other wastes or holds or has held any interest in real property or otherwise. No litigation or proceeding arising under, relating to or in connection with any Environmental Law or Environmental Permit is pending or, to the best knowledge of each Company, threatened, against any Company, any real property in which any Company holds or has held an interest or any past or present operation of any Company. No release, threatened release or disposal of hazardous waste, solid waste or other wastes is occurring, or has occurred (other than those that are currently being remediated in accordance with Environmental Laws), on, under or to any real property in which any Company holds any interest or performs any of its operations, in violation of any Environmental Law. As used in this Section 6.8, "litigation or proceeding" means any demand, claim, notice, suit, suit in equity, action, administrative action, investigation or inquiry whether brought by any Governmental Authority or private Person, or otherwise.

As of the Closing Date, the Credit Parties have places of business or maintain their Accounts, Inventory and Equipment at the locations (including third party locations) set forth on Schedule 6.9 hereto, and each Credit Party's chief executive office is set forth on Schedule 6.9 hereto. Schedule 6.9 hereto further specifies whether each location, as of the Closing Date, (a) is owned by the Credit Parties, or (b) is leased by a Credit Party from a third party, and, if leased by a Credit Party from a third party, if a Landlord's Waiver has been requested. As of the Closing Date, Schedule 6.9 hereto correctly identifies the name and address of each third party location where assets of the Credit Parties are located.

Section 6.10. Continued Business . There exists no actual, pending, or, to Borrower's knowledge, any threatened termination, cancellation or limitation of, or any modification or change in the business relationship of any Company and any customer or supplier, or any group of customers or suppliers, whose purchases or supplies, individually or in the aggregate, are material to the business of any Company, and there exists no present condition or state of facts or circumstances that would have a Material Adverse Effect or prevent a Company from conducting such business or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in substantially the same manner in which it was previously conducted.

Section 6.11. Employee Benefits Plans . Schedule 6.11 hereto identifies each ERISA Plan as of the Closing Date. No ERISA Event has occurred or is expected to occur with respect to an ERISA Plan. Full payment has been made of all amounts that a Controlled Group member

57

is required, under applicable law or under the governing documents, to have paid as a contribution to or a benefit under each ERISA Plan. The liability of each Controlled Group member with respect to each ERISA Plan has been fully funded based upon reasonable and proper actuarial assumptions, has been fully insured, or has been fully reserved for on its financial statements. No changes have occurred or are expected to occur that would cause a material increase in the cost of providing benefits under the ERISA Plan. With respect to each ERISA Plan that is intended to be qualified under Code Section 401(a), (a) the ERISA Plan and any associated trust operationally comply with the applicable requirements of Code Section 401(a); (b) the ERISA Plan and any associated trust have been amended to comply with all such requirements as currently in effect, other than those requirements for which a retroactive amendment can be made within the "remedial amendment period" available under Code Section 401(b) (as extended under Treasury Regulations and other Treasury pronouncements upon which taxpayers may rely); (c) the ERISA Plan and any associated trust have received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service stating that the ERISA Plan qualifies under Code Section 401(a), that the associated trust qualifies under Code Section 501(a) and, if applicable, that any cash or deferred arrangement under the ERISA Plan qualifies under Code Section 401(k), unless the ERISA Plan was first adopted at a time for which the above-described "remedial amendment period" has not yet expired; (d) the ERISA Plan currently satisfies the requirements of Code Section 410(b), without regard to any retroactive amendment that may be made within the above-described "remedial amendment period"; and (e) no contribution made to the ERISA Plan is subject to an excise tax under Code Section 4972. With respect to any Pension Plan, the "accumulated benefit obligation" of Controlled Group members with respect to the Pension Plan (as determined in accordance with Statement of Accounting Standards No. 87, "Employers' Accounting for Pensions") does not exceed the fair market value of Pension Plan assets.

Section 6.12. Consents or Approvals . No consent, approval or authorization of, or filing, registration or qualification with, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required to be obtained or completed by any Company in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by it of any of the Loan Documents, that has not already been obtained or completed.

Section 6.13. Solvency . Borrower has received consideration that is the reasonably equivalent value of the obligations and liabilities that Borrower has incurred to Lender. Borrower is not insolvent as defined in any applicable state, federal or relevant foreign statute, nor will Borrower be rendered insolvent by the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents to Lender. Borrower is not engaged or about to engage in any business or transaction for which the assets retained by it are or will be an unreasonably small amount of capital, taking into consideration the obligations to Lender incurred hereunder. Borrower does not intend to, nor does it believe that it will, incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature.

Section 6.14. Financial Statements . The audited Consolidated financial statements of Borrower for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 and the unaudited Consolidated financial statements of Borrower for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2015, furnished to Lender, are true and complete, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, and fairly present the financial condition of the Companies as of the dates of such financial statements and the results of their operations for the periods then ending. Since the dates of such statements, there has been no material adverse change in the financial condition, properties or business of Borrower or any change in any Borrower's accounting procedures.

58

Section 6.15. Regulations . No Company is engaged principally or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any "margin stock" (within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States). Neither the granting of any Loan (or any conversion thereof) or Letter of Credit nor the use of the proceeds of any Loan or Letter of Credit will violate, or be inconsistent with, the provisions of Regulation T, U or X or any other Regulation of such Board of Governors.

Section 6.16. Material Agreements . Except as disclosed on Schedule 6.16 hereto, as of the Closing Date, no Company is a party to any (a) debt instrument (excluding the Loan Documents); (b) lease (capital, operating or otherwise), whether as lessee or lessor thereunder; (c) contract, commitment, agreement, or other arrangement involving the purchase or sale of any inventory by it, or the license of any right to or by it; (d) contract, commitment, agreement, or other arrangement with any of its "Affiliates" (as such term is defined in the Exchange Act) other than a Company; (e) management or employment contract or contract for personal services with any of its Affiliates that is not otherwise terminable at will or on less than ninety (90) days' notice without liability; (f) collective bargaining agreement; or (g) other contract, agreement, understanding, or arrangement with a third party; that, as to subparts (a) through (g) above, if violated, breached, or terminated for any reason, would have or would be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 6.17. Intellectual Property . Each Company owns, or has the right to use, all of the patents, patent applications, industrial designs, designs, trademarks, service marks, copyrights and licenses, and rights with respect to the foregoing necessary for the conduct of its business without any known conflict with the rights of others. Schedule 6.17 hereto sets forth all federally registered patents, trademarks, copyrights, service marks and license agreements owned by each Credit Party as of the Closing Date.

Section 6.18. Insurance . Each Company maintains with financially sound and reputable insurers insurance with coverage (including, if applicable, insurance required by the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994) and limits as required by law and as is customary with Persons engaged in the same businesses as the Companies. Schedule 6.18 hereto sets forth all insurance carried by the Companies on the Closing Date, setting forth in detail the amount and type of such insurance.

Section 6.19. Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts . Borrower has provided to Lender a list of all banks, other financial institutions and Securities Intermediaries at which any Credit Party maintains Deposit Accounts or Securities Accounts as of the Closing Date, which correctly identifies the name, address and telephone number of each such financial institution or Securities Intermediary, the name in which the account is held, a description of the purpose of the account, and the complete account number therefor.

59

Section 6.20. Accurate and Complete Statements . Neither the Loan Documents nor any written statement made by any Company in connection with any of the Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein or in the Loan Documents not misleading. After due inquiry by Borrower, there is no known fact that any Company has not disclosed to Lender that has or is likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 6.21. Investment Company; Other Restrictions . No Company is (a) an "investment company" or a company "controlled" by an "investment company" within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or (b) subject to any foreign, federal, state or local statute or regulation limiting its ability to incur Indebtedness.

Section 6.22. Other Senior Debt Documents . No "default" or "event of default" (as each term is defined in any Other Senior Debt Document), or event with which the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would cause a default or event of default exists, nor will exist immediately after the granting of any Loan or the issuance of any Letter of Credit under this Agreement.

Section 6.23. Defaults . No Default or Event of Default exists, nor will any begin to exist immediately after the execution and delivery hereof.

All Collections from sales of Inventory and services rendered or from Account Debtors sent to the Lockbox shall be deposited directly on a daily basis, and in any event no later than the first Business Day after the date of receipt thereof, into the Cash Collateral Account in the identical form in which such Collections were made (except for any necessary endorsements) whether by cash or check. All amounts deposited in the Cash Collateral Account from the Lockbox or any other source shall be under the sole and exclusive control of Lender.

ARTICLE IX. REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT

Notwithstanding any contrary provision or inference herein or elsewhere:

Section 9.1. Optional Defaults . If any Event of Default referred to in Section 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 8.5, 8.6, 8.7, 8.8, 8.9, 8.10 or 8.11 hereof shall occur, Lender shall have the right, in its discretion, to give written notice to Borrower to:

(a) terminate the Commitment, if not previously terminated, and, immediately upon such election, the obligation of Lender to make any further Loan or to issue any Letter of Credit immediately shall be terminated; and/or

(b) accelerate the maturity of all of the Obligations (if the Obligations are not already due and payable), whereupon all of the Obligations shall become and thereafter be immediately due and payable in full without any presentment or demand and without any further or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by Borrower.

Section 9.2. Automatic Defaults . If any Event of Default referred to in Section 8.12 hereof shall occur:

(a) all of the Commitment shall automatically and immediately terminate, if not previously terminated, and Lender thereafter shall not be under any obligation to grant any further Loan or to issue any Letter of Credit; and

(b) the principal of and interest then outstanding on all of the Loans, and all of the other Obligations, shall thereupon become and thereafter be immediately due and payable in full (if the Obligations are not already due and payable), all without any presentment, demand or notice of any kind, which are hereby waived by Borrower.

Section 9.3. Letters of Credit . If the maturity of the Obligations shall be accelerated pursuant to Section 9.1 or 9.2 hereof, Borrower shall immediately deposit with Lender, as security for the obligations of Borrower and any Guarantor of Payment to reimburse Lender for any then outstanding Letters of Credit, cash equal to one hundred five percent (105%) of the sum of the aggregate undrawn balance of any then outstanding Letters of Credit. Lender is hereby authorized, at its option, to deduct any and all such amounts from any deposit balances then owing by Lender (or any affiliate of Lender, wherever located) to or for the credit or account of any Company, as security for the obligations of Borrower and any Guarantor of Payment to reimburse Lender for any then outstanding Letters of Credit.

67

Section 9.4. Offsets . If there shall occur or exist any Event of Default referred to in Section 8.12 hereof or if the maturity of the Obligations is accelerated pursuant to Section 9.1 or 9.2 hereof, Lender shall have the right at any time to set off against, and to appropriate and apply toward the payment of, any and all of the Obligations then owing by Borrower to Lender, whether or not the same shall then have matured, any and all deposit (general or special) balances and all other indebtedness then held or owing by Lender (including, without limitation, by branches and agencies or any affiliate of Lender, wherever located) to or for the credit or account of Borrower or any Guarantor of Payment, all without notice to or demand upon Borrower or any other Person, all such notices and demands being hereby expressly waived by Borrower.

Section 9.5. Collateral . Lender shall at all times have the rights and remedies of a secured party under the U.C.C., in addition to the rights and remedies of a secured party provided elsewhere within this Agreement, in any other Related Writing executed by Borrower or otherwise provided in law or equity. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and at all times thereafter, Lender may require Borrower to assemble the collateral securing the Obligations, which Borrower agrees to do, and make it available to Lender at a reasonably convenient place to be designated by Lender. Lender may, with or without notice to or demand upon Borrower and with or without the aid of legal process, make use of such force as may be necessary to enter any premises where such collateral, or any thereof, may be found and to take possession thereof (including anything found in or on such collateral that is not specifically described in this Agreement, each of which findings shall be considered to be an accession to and a part of such collateral) and for that purpose may pursue such collateral wherever the same may be found, without liability for trespass or damage caused thereby to Borrower. After any delivery or taking of possession of the collateral securing the Obligations, or any thereof, pursuant to this Agreement, then, with or without resort to Borrower personally or any other Person or property, all of which Borrower hereby waives, and upon such terms and in such manner as Lender may deem advisable, Lender, in its discretion, may sell, assign, transfer and deliver any of such collateral at any time, or from time to time. No prior notice need be given to Borrower or to any other Person in the case of any sale of such collateral that Lender determines to be perishable or to be declining speedily in value or that is customarily sold in any recognized market, but in any other case Lender shall give Borrower not fewer than ten days prior notice of either the time and place of any public sale of such collateral or of the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition thereof is to be made. Borrower waives advertisement of any such sale and (except to the extent specifically required by the preceding sentence) waives notice of any kind in respect of any such sale. At any such public sale, Lender may purchase such collateral, or any part thereof, free from any right of redemption, all of which rights Borrower hereby waives and releases. After deducting all Related Expenses, and after paying all claims, if any, secured by Liens having precedence over this Agreement, Lender may apply the net proceeds of each such sale to or toward the payment of the Obligations, whether or not then due, in such order and by such division as Lender, in its sole discretion, may deem advisable. Any excess, to the extent permitted by law, shall be paid to Borrower, and Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency. In addition, Lender shall at all times have the right to obtain new appraisals of Borrower or any collateral securing the Obligations, the cost of which shall be paid by Borrower.

68

Section 9.6. Other Remedies . The remedies in this Article IX are in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other right, power, privilege, or remedy, either in law, in equity, or otherwise, to which Lender may be entitled.

ARTICLE X. MISCELLANEOUS

No omission or course of dealing on the part of Lender or the holder of any Note in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and in addition to any other rights, powers or privileges held under any of the Loan Documents or by operation of law, by contract or otherwise. Nothing contained in this Agreement and no action taken by Lender pursuant hereto shall be deemed to constitute Borrower and Lender a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity. The relationship between Borrower and Lender with respect to the Loan Documents is and shall be solely that of debtor and creditor, respectively, and Lender shall have no fiduciary obligation toward Borrower with respect to any such documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.

All notices pursuant to any of the provisions hereof shall not be effective until received.

(d) Borrower and each other Credit Party agrees that Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, store information provided through the Approved Electronic Communication System in accordance with Lender's generally-applicable document retention procedures and policies in effect from time to time.

connection with any restructuring, amendment, or enforcement of the Obligations, this Agreement or any other Related Writing.

All obligations provided for in this Section 10.5 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

Section 10.6. Indemnification .
