The Credits

SECTION 2.01 Commitments.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Orders, each Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make Loans in dollars to the Borrower in up to three (3) draws, (a) the first of which shall be on the Closing Date (any Loans made on such date, the “Interim Order Loan”), (b) the second of which shall be on the Initial Allocation Date (any Loans made on such date, the “Initial Allocation Date Loan”, and together with the Interim Order Loan, the “Initial Loan”) and (c) the third of which shall be on the Full Availability Date (any Loans made on such date, the “Final Order Loan”), in each case, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed such Lender’s Commitment as of such date (prior to giving effect to the making of such Loans); provided, that:

(i) the Interim Order Loan shall be (x) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the lesser of (A) $88,480,725.68 and (B) the amount approved by the Bankruptcy Court in the Interim Order and (y) funded by the Lenders party to this Agreement on the Closing Date in the amounts set forth on Schedule 2.01 under the heading “Initial Loan Commitments—Interim Order Loans”;

(ii) the Initial Allocation Date Loan shall be (x) in an aggregate amount equal to the Interim Availability Amount minus the aggregate principal amount of the Interim Order Loan and (y) funded by each Lender in a respective amount such that, after giving effect to the Initial Allocation Date Loan, each Lender holds Loans equal to the product of (1) a fraction the numerator of which is the aggregate amount of the Initial Loan and the denominator of which is the Total Commitment and (2) such Lender’s Commitment as set forth under the heading “Post-Initial Allocation Commitments” on Schedule 2.01 (for the avoidance of doubt, the Initial Allocation Date Loan will not be funded ratably across all Lenders); and

(iii) the Final Order Loan shall be funded ratably by each Lender in accordance with its Commitment as set forth under the heading “Post-Initial Allocation Loan Commitments” on Schedule 2.01 and in an aggregate amount equal to the Final Availability Amount; and

26

(b) Each Borrowing shall consist of Loans of the same Type made on the same day by the Lenders ratably according to their respective Commitments as set forth above. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, unless the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall otherwise agree, the initial Interest Period of any Initial Allocation Date Loan or Final Order Loan that is a Eurodollar Loan (if any) shall commence on the Initial Allocation Date or the Full Availability Date, as applicable, and shall end on the last day of the then-current Interest Period for the Interim Order Loan or Initial Loan, respectively, that is a Eurodollar Loan then outstanding (if any). For the avoidance of doubt, once funded the Interim Order Loan, the Initial Allocation Date Loan and the Final Order Loan shall constitute a single class of Loans.

(c) No later than the twelfth day after entry of the Interim Order (or such other time as reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Required Financing Commitment Parties), provided that the Borrower has received the schedule described in this clause (c) from the Financing Commitment Parties or their financial advisor, (i) the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a written notice, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (the “Initial Allocation Commitment Notice”), which notice shall attach a schedule updating the “Post-Initial Allocation Commitments” on Schedule 2.01 (as delivered pursuant to Section 2.01(c)) identifying each Lender and the amount of its Commitment and (ii) each Lender that is not a party hereto on the Closing Date shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a signature page to the “Master Joinder to the DIP Credit Agreement” attached as Annex II to the Notice and Instruction Form, executed by such Lender and the Borrower, pursuant to which, inter alia, such Lender shall deliver (and shall represent and warrant that it has delivered) to the Administrative Agent a completed Administrative Questionnaire, such documentation and other information under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations requested by the Administrative Agent, and such documentation and other information required under Section 2.20. The schedule delivered pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 2.01(c) shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error. The parties hereto agree that the Administrative Agent may conclusively rely on the Initial Allocation Commitment Notice and this provision in adjusting the Register to reflect the Commitment of each Lender.

SECTION 2.02 Loans.

(a) Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their applicable Commitments as set forth in Section 2.01; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to make any Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender).

(b) Subject to Sections 2.08 and 2.15, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the Borrower may request pursuant to Section 2.03. Each Lender may at its option make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time. For purposes of the foregoing, Borrowings having different Interest Periods, regardless of whether they commence on the same date, shall be considered separate Borrowings.

27

(c) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account in New York City as the Administrative Agent may designate not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly credit the amounts so received to the DIP Proceeds Account.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with paragraph (c) above and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent shall have so made funds available then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at a rate determined by the Administrative Agent to represent its cost of overnight or short-term funds (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error). If such Lender shall not repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount within three Business Days after demand by the Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing, on demand, from the Borrower. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.03 Borrowing Procedure. In order to request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall deliver a fully executed Borrowing Request to the Administrative Agent (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, one Business Day (or in the case of the Final Order Loan, three Business Days) before a proposed Borrowing, and (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one Business Day before a proposed Borrowing. Each such Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable, and shall specify the following information: (i) whether the Borrowing then being requested is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing; (ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day); (iii) the number and location of the DIP Proceeds Account to which funds are to be disbursed; (iv) the amount of such Borrowing; and (v) if such Borrowing is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period with respect thereto; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any contrary specification in any Borrowing Request, each requested Borrowing shall comply with the requirements set forth in Sections 2.01 and 2.02; provided, further, that the Borrower may condition each Borrowing in such notice on the entry of the Interim Order or the Final Order, as applicable. If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing is specified in any such notice, then except as set forth in Section 2.01, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the applicable Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.03 (and the contents thereof), and of each Lender’s portion of the requested Borrowing.

Each Lender will make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 2:00 p.m., New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided, that in the case of the Initial Allocation Date Loan, any Lender required to fund such Loan pursuant to Section 2.01(a)(ii) that is not a Lender on the Closing Date shall wire such funds to the escrow account of the Administrative Agent specified in the Notice and Instruction Form by the deadline set forth therein. Upon receipt of all requested funds, the Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrowers by promptly wiring the amounts so received, in like funds, to the DIP Proceeds Account.

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (b) and (c) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms. In the event of any conflict between the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) above, the accounts maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) shall control.

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it hereunder be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns and in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower.

(c) Interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate for each Interest Period or day within an Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

In the event of any such determination, until the Administrative Agent shall have advised the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, any request by the Borrower for a Eurodollar Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.03 or 2.10 shall be deemed to be a request for an ABR Borrowing. Each determination by the Administrative Agent under this Section 2.08 shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.09 Termination and Reduction of Commitments. The Commitments shall be reduced dollar-for-dollar immediately after the funding of any Loans pursuant to Section 2.01, and any unused Commitments shall be reduced to zero and terminated on the Full Availability Date (immediately after the funding of the Final Order Loan on such date).

31

SECTION 2.10 Conversion and Continuation of Borrowings. The Borrower shall have the right at any time upon prior written irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent (a) not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of conversion, to convert any Eurodollar Borrowing into an ABR Borrowing, (b) not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, three Business Days prior to conversion or continuation, to convert any ABR Borrowing into a Eurodollar Borrowing or to continue any Eurodollar Borrowing as a Eurodollar Borrowing for an additional Interest Period, and (c) not later than 12:00 (noon), New York City time, three Business Days prior to conversion, to convert the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing to another permissible Interest Period, subject in each case to the following:

(i) each conversion or continuation shall be made pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts of the Loans comprising the converted or continued Borrowing;

(ii) each conversion shall be effected by each Lender and the Administrative Agent by recording for the account of such Lender the new Loan of such Lender resulting from such conversion and reducing the Loan (or portion thereof) of such Lender being converted by an equivalent principal amount; accrued interest on any Eurodollar Loan (or portion thereof) being converted shall be paid by the Borrower at the time of conversion;

(iii) if any Eurodollar Borrowing is converted at a time other than the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall pay, upon demand, any amounts due to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.16;

(iv) any portion of a Borrowing of any Loans maturing or required to be repaid in less than one month may not be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing;

(v) any portion of a Eurodollar Borrowing that cannot be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing by reason of the immediately preceding clause shall be automatically converted at the end of the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing into an ABR Borrowing; and

(vi) upon notice to the Borrower from the Administrative Agent given at the request of the Required Lenders, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default, no outstanding Loan may be converted into, or continued as, a Eurodollar Loan.

Each notice pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall be irrevocable and shall refer to this Agreement and specify (i) the identity and amount of the Borrowing that the Borrower requests be converted or continued, (ii) whether such Borrowing is to be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing or an ABR Borrowing and (iii) if such notice requests a conversion, the date of such conversion (which shall be a Business Day). The Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.10 and of each Lender’s portion of any converted or continued Borrowing. If the Borrower shall not have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.10 to continue any Eurodollar Borrowing into a subsequent Interest Period (and shall not otherwise have given notice in accordance with this Section 2.10 to convert such Borrowing), such Borrowing shall, at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto (unless repaid pursuant to the terms hereof), automatically be converted into an ABR Borrowing.

SECTION 2.11 Repayment of Borrowings.

(a) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, on the Maturity Date, the aggregate principal amount of all Loans outstanding on such date, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to but excluding the date of such payment.

32

(b) All repayments pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be subject to Section 2.05(c), Section 2.05(d) and Section 2.16, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty.

SECTION 2.12 Optional Prepayment.

(a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, upon prior written notice to the Administrative Agent received before 11:00 a.m., New York City time at least three Business Days’ in advance of the prepayment date in the case of Eurodollar Loans, or at least one Business Day in advance of the prepayment date in the case of ABR Loans; provided, however, that each partial prepayment shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding.

(b) Optional prepayments of Loans shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective pro rata share of the outstanding Loans at the time.

(c) Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing (or portion thereof) to be prepaid, shall be irrevocable and shall commit the Borrower to prepay such Borrowing in the amount stated therein on the date stated therein; provided that a notice of prepayment may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, indentures or similar agreements or any other event, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. All prepayments under this Section 2.12 shall be subject to Section 2.05(c), Section 2.05(d) and Section 2.16 but otherwise without premium or penalty. All prepayments under this Section 2.12 shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding the date of payment.

SECTION 2.13 Mandatory Prepayments.

(a) Unless otherwise agreed to by the Required Financing Commitment Parties, not later than the third Business Day after the receipt of Net Cash Proceeds by the Borrower or a Subsidiary in respect of any Asset Sale (other than of First Lien Notes Priority Collateral), the Borrower shall apply 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds received to prepay outstanding Loans in accordance with Section 2.13(d). After the First Lien Notes have been repaid, redeemed or otherwise satisfied in full, not later than the third Business Day after the receipt of Net Cash Proceeds in respect of any Asset Sale of First Lien Notes Priority Collateral, the Borrower shall apply 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds received to prepay outstanding Loans in accordance with Section 2.13(d).

(b) Unless otherwise agreed to by the Required Financing Commitment Parties, in the event that the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from the issuance or incurrence of Indebtedness for money borrowed (other than any cash proceeds from the issuance of Indebtedness for money borrowed permitted pursuant to Section 6.03), the Borrower shall, substantially simultaneously with (and in any event not later than the third Business Day following) the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds by the Borrower or such Subsidiary, apply an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds to prepay outstanding Loans in accordance with Section 2.13(d).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 2.13, such Net Cash Proceeds shall not be required to be applied as set forth herein to the extent that the repatriation of cash from Subsidiaries outside of the United States would reasonably be expected to result in material adverse tax consequences to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as reasonably determined by the Borrower.

33

(d) Mandatory prepayments of outstanding Loans under this Agreement shall be allocated pro rata among the Loans. The amount of any mandatory prepayment in respect of Loans shall be applied first to Loans that are ABR Loans to the full extent thereof before application to Loans that are Eurodollar Loans, in a manner that minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.16.

(e) The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, at the time of each prepayment required under Section 2.13(a) or (b), as applicable, subject to Section 2.13(c), (i) a certificate signed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount of such prepayment and (ii) to the extent practicable, before 11:00 a.m. at least two days’ prior written notice of such prepayment. Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date, the Type of each Loan being prepaid and the principal amount of each Loan (or portion thereof) to be prepaid. All prepayments of Borrowings under this Section 2.13 shall be subject to Section 2.05(c), Section 2.05(d) and Section 2.16, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty, and shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to but excluding the date of payment (which interest amounts shall reduce the amount of Net Cash Proceeds required to be applied to prepay the Loans).

SECTION 2.14 Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of or credit extended by any Lender (except any such reserve requirement which is reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate), shall subject any Lender or the Administrative Agent to any Taxes (other than (i) Indemnified Taxes imposed on or with respect to any payment made by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document and (ii) Excluded Taxes) on its Loans, Commitments or other obligations or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto or shall impose on such Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan or increase the cost to any Lender of purchasing or maintaining a participation therein or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then the Borrower will pay to such Lender from time to time such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that any Change in Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made pursuant hereto to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time the Borrower shall pay to such Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

34

(c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) above shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate delivered by it within 30 days after its receipt of the same.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be under any obligation to compensate any Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) above with respect to increased costs or reductions with respect to any period prior to the date that is 180 days prior to such request if such Lender knew or could reasonably have been expected to know of the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the fact that such circumstances would result in a claim for increased compensation by reason of such increased costs or reductions; provided, further, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to any increased costs or reductions arising out of the retroactive application of any Change in Law within such 180-day period. The protection of this Section 2.14 shall be available to each Lender regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the Change in Law that shall have occurred or been imposed.

SECTION 2.15 Change in Legality.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Eurodollar Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent:

(i) such Lender may declare that Eurodollar Loans will not thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness) be made by such Lender hereunder (or be continued for additional Interest Periods) and ABR Loans will not thereafter (for such duration) be converted into Eurodollar Loans, whereupon any request for a Eurodollar Borrowing (or to convert an ABR Borrowing to a Eurodollar Borrowing or to continue a Eurodollar Borrowing for an additional Interest Period) shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan (or a request to continue an ABR Loan as such for an additional Interest Period or to convert a Eurodollar Loan into an ABR Loan, as the case may be), unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and

(ii) such Lender may require that all outstanding Eurodollar Loans made by it be converted to ABR Loans, in which event all such Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in paragraph (b) below.

In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under (i) or (ii) above, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been applied to repay the Eurodollar Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted Eurodollar Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such Eurodollar Loans.

(b) For purposes of this Section 2.15, a notice to the Borrower by any Lender shall be effective as to each Eurodollar Loan made by such Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period then applicable to such Eurodollar Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the Borrower.

35

SECTION 2.16 Indemnity. The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss or expense (but not against any lost profits) that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) any event, other than a default by such Lender in the performance of its obligations hereunder, which results in (i) such Lender receiving or being deemed to receive any amount on account of the principal of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period in effect therefor, (ii) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan to an ABR Loan, or the conversion of the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, in each case other than on the last day of the Interest Period in effect therefor, or (iii) any Eurodollar Loan to be made by such Lender (including any Eurodollar Loan to be made pursuant to a conversion or continuation under Section 2.10) not being made after notice of such Loan shall have been given by the Borrower hereunder (any of the events referred to in this clause (a) being called a “Breakage Event”) or (b) any default in the making of any payment or prepayment of any Eurodollar Loan required to be made hereunder. In the case of any Breakage Event, such loss shall include an amount equal to the excess, as reasonably determined by such Lender, of (i) its cost of obtaining funds for the Eurodollar Loan that is the subject of such Breakage Event for the period from the date of such Breakage Event to the last day of the Interest Period in effect (or that would have been in effect) for such Loan over (ii) the amount of interest likely to be realized by such Lender in redeploying the funds released or not utilized by reason of such Breakage Event for such period. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts which such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.17 Pro Rata Treatment. Except as required under Sections 2.01 and 2.15, each Borrowing, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing (other than any such payment on the effective date of an Acceptable Plan pursuant to any Lender’s exercise of its Cash Exit Option (as defined below)), each payment of interest on the Loans, each reduction of the Commitments and each conversion of any Borrowing to or continuation of any Borrowing as a Borrowing of any Type shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective principal amounts of their outstanding Loans or, in the case of a reduction of Commitments, their respective outstanding Commitments. Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole dollar amount.

SECTION 2.18 Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim against the Borrower or any other Loan Party, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means (excluding means expressly contemplated elsewhere in this Agreement), obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Loans as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Loans shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Loans of any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in the Loans of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans and participations in Loans held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans then outstanding as the principal amount of its Loans prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event was to the principal amount of all Loans outstanding prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; provided, however, that if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.18 and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored

36

without interest. The Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in a Loan deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by the Borrower to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had made a Loan directly to the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 2.19 Payments.

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any fees or other amounts) hereunder and under any other Loan Document not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due in immediately available dollars, without setoff, defense or counterclaim. Each such payment shall be made to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender any payments received by the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon.

(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, whenever any payment (including principal of or interest on any Borrowing or any fees or other amounts) hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, if applicable.

(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, but shall not be obligated to, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower does not in fact make such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, and to pay interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at a rate determined by the Administrative Agent to represent its cost of overnight or short-term funds (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error).

SECTION 2.20 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, and if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.20) the Administrative Agent or Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made.

(b) In addition, the Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

37

(c) The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.20) that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or by the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself or a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes, Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower or any other Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in paragraphs (e)(ii) (A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or about the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), an executed copy of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, an executed copy of IRS

38

Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(2) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming that its extension of credit will generate U.S. effectively connected income, an executed copy of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) an executed copy of IRS Form W-8BEN-E or IRS Form W-8BEN; or

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

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

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

39

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(f) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower or any other Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(f) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (f).

(g) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.20 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.20), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.20 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out of pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph (g) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h) Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.20 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

SECTION 2.21 Assignment of Commitments under Certain Circumstances; Duty to Mitigate.

(a) In the event (i) any Lender delivers a certificate requesting compensation pursuant to Section 2.14, (ii) any Lender delivers a notice described in Section 2.15, (iii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.20, (iv) any Lender refuses to consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Document requested by the Borrower that requires the consent of a greater percentage of the Lenders than the Required Lenders and such amendment, waiver or other modification is consented to by the Required Lenders or (v) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, in each case, to the extent the Backstop Commitment Parties do not purchase all of such Defaulting Lender’s Loans and Commitments pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 2.21, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort (including with respect to the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.04(b)), upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to transfer and assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (or, in the case of clause (iv) or (v) above, all of its interests, rights and obligations with respect to the Loans and Commitments that are the subject of the related consent, amendment, waiver or other modification or in respect of which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, as the case may be) to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such assigned obligations and, with respect to clause (iv) above, shall consent to such requested amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Document (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (x) such assignment shall not conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction, (y) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consents shall not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned or delayed, and (z) the Borrower or such Eligible Assignee shall have paid to the affected Lender in immediately available funds an amount equal to the sum of the principal of and interest accrued to the date of such payment on the outstanding Loans of such Lender plus all other amounts accrued for the account of such Lender hereunder with respect thereto (including any amounts under Sections 2.14, 2.16 and 2.20); provided, further, that, if prior to any such transfer and assignment the circumstances or event that resulted in such Lender’s claim for compensation under Section 2.14, notice under Section 2.15 or the amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.20, as the case may be, cease to cause such Lender to suffer increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital, or cease to have the consequences specified in Section 2.15, or cease to result in amounts being payable under Section 2.20, as the case may be (including as a result of any action taken by such Lender pursuant to paragraph (b) below), or if such Lender shall waive its right to claim further compensation under Section 2.14 in respect of such circumstances or event or shall withdraw its notice under Section 2.15 or shall waive its right to further payments under Section 2.20 in respect of such circumstances or event or shall consent to the proposed amendment, waiver, consent or other modification or shall cease to be a Defaulting Lender, as the case may be, then such Lender shall not thereafter be required to make any such transfer and assignment hereunder. Each Lender hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power is coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Lender as assignor, any Assignment and Acceptance necessary to effectuate any assignment of such Lender’s interests hereunder in the circumstances contemplated by this Section 2.21(a).

(b) Upon any Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will notify the Lenders in writing. Each Backstop Commitment Party shall have the right, exercisable in its sole discretion within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such notice, to purchase its pro rata share (based on the Commitments of each Backstop Commitment Party as of immediately after the Initial Allocation Date) of the outstanding Loans and Commitments of such Defaulting Lender at

41

a purchase price equal to 96.75% of the outstanding amount thereof (plus accrued and unpaid interest and any ticking fee thereon), and such Defaulting Lender is hereby required to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.20) and obligations under this Agreement related to the purchased Loans to the purchasing Backstop Commitment Parties at such purchase price. Thereafter, each purchasing Backstop Commitment Party shall be entitled to all interests and fees associated with the purchased Loans and Commitments in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In connection with any such purchase, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, such Defaulting Lender and the replacement Lender will otherwise comply with Section 9.04; provided that if such Defaulting Lender does not comply with Section 9.04 within three (3) Business Days after the Backstop Commitment Parties’ election under this Section 2.21(b), compliance with Section 9.04 will not be required to effect such assignment. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, to the extent any Backstop Commitment Party declines to make such purchase, the Administrative Agent may, and, at the direction of the Required Lenders, shall, reduce the outstanding principal amount of such Defaulting Lender’s Loans by such Defaulting Lender’s pro rata share of the Total Upfront Fee (to the extent already paid).

(c) If (i) any Lender shall request compensation under Section 2.14, (ii) any Lender delivers a notice described in Section 2.15 or (iii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender, pursuant to Section 2.20, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts (which shall not require such Lender to incur an unreimbursed loss or unreimbursed cost or expense or otherwise take any action inconsistent with its internal policies or legal or regulatory restrictions or suffer any disadvantage or burden deemed by it to be significant) (x) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower or (y) to assign its rights and delegate and transfer its obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if such filing or assignment would reduce its claims for compensation under Section 2.14 or enable it to withdraw its notice pursuant to Section 2.15 or would reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.20, as the case may be, in the future. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such filing or assignment, delegation and transfer.

SECTION 2.22 Priority and Liens.

(a) Each of the Loan Parties hereby covenants and agrees that upon the entry of, and subject to, the Interim Order (and when applicable, the Final Order) and subject to the Carve Out, the Obligations: (i) pursuant to Section 364(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, shall at all times constitute allowed DIP Superpriority Claims in the Cases, which DIP Superpriority Claims shall rank senior to all other claims; (ii) pursuant to Section 364(c)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, shall at all times (subject, in the case of UK Loan Parties and UK Security Documents, to the UK Legal Reservations and the UK Perfection Requirements) be secured by a valid, binding, continuing, enforceable, perfected, first priority Lien on the DIP Priority Collateral owned by Debtors; (iii) pursuant to Section 364(c)(3) and 364(d)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be secured by a valid, binding, continuing, enforceable, perfected Lien on (x) the First Lien Notes Priority Collateral, which Lien securing the Obligations shall be junior solely to the Lien securing the First Lien Notes Obligations and senior to the Lien securing the Second Lien Notes Obligations and (y) the Encumbered Collateral, which Lien securing the Obligations shall be junior solely to the Lien securing such other obligations as of the Petition Date.

(b) The relative priorities of the Liens described in this Section 2.22 with respect to the DIP Collateral shall be as set forth in the Interim Order (and, when entered, the Final Order),

42

the Guarantee Agreement, and the Pledge and Security Agreement. In accordance with the Interim Order (and, once entered, the Final Order), all of the Liens described in this Section 2.22 shall be effective and perfected upon entry of the Interim Order without the necessity of the execution, recordation or filing by the Debtors of security agreements, control agreements, pledge agreements, financing statements or other similar documents, or the possession or control by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, of, or over, any DIP Collateral, as, and to the extent, set forth in the Interim Order.

(c) Each Loan Party that is a Debtor hereby confirms and acknowledges that, pursuant to, and to the extent set forth in, the Interim Order (and, when entered, the Final Order), the Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent on behalf of and for the benefit of the Secured Parties in all of the DIP Collateral, now existing or hereafter acquired, shall be created and perfected without the necessity of the execution, recordation or filing by the Debtors of security agreements, control agreements, pledge agreements, financing statements or other similar documents, or the possession or control by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, of, or over, any DIP Collateral.

SECTION 2.23 No Discharge; Survival of Claims. Each of the Loan Parties agrees that prior to Payment in Full of the Obligations, (a) its obligations under the Loan Documents shall not be discharged by the entry of an order confirming a Reorganization Plan (and each of the Loan Parties, pursuant to Section 1141(d)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code, hereby waives any such discharge) and (b) the superpriority claims and Liens granted to the Agents and the Lenders pursuant to the Orders shall not be affected in any manner by the entry of an order confirming a Reorganization Plan.

SECTION 2.24 Payment of Obligations. Upon the maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations of the Loan Parties under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to immediate payment of such Obligations without further application to or order of the Bankruptcy Court.

SECTION 2.25 Conversion of Loans to Exit Facility. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the consummation of, and pursuant to, an Acceptable Plan, subject to the satisfaction (or waiver by the Required Financing Commitment Parties) of the conditions set forth in this Section 2.25, the Acceptable Plan and the Exit Term Facility Credit Agreement (the “Exit Conversion”):

(a) each Lender, severally and not jointly, hereby agrees to continue and convert its Loans outstanding hereunder on the effective date of the Acceptable Plan as loans under a credit agreement (the “Exit Term Facility Credit Agreement”) and related documentation governing such continued and converted Loans to the extent that such agreement and related documentation is consistent in all respects with the Exit Term Facility Term Sheet and is otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Required Financing Commitment Parties and, as to the provisions directly affecting them, the agents party thereto;

(b) Reorganized Pyxus (as defined in the RSA), and each subsidiary thereof that is required to guarantee the obligations under the Exit Term Facility Credit Agreement in accordance with the Exit Term Facility Term Sheet, shall assume all the Obligations hereunder with respect to the Loans and all other obligations in respect thereof in the manner set forth in the Plan, the Exit Term Facility Credit Agreement and/or related loan documents;

(c) all Loans outstanding hereunder at such time shall be continued and converted as loans under the Exit Term Facility Credit Agreement;

43

(d) each Lender hereunder shall be a lender under the Exit Term Facility Credit Agreement in respect of its Loans continued and converted;

(e) the collateral agent under the Exit Term Facility Credit Agreement shall have, for the benefit of the lenders and other secured parties thereunder, a fully perfected security interest in all right, title and interest in all of the collateral contemplated by, and with such priority as provided for in, the Exit Term Facility Term Sheet;

(f) the administrative agent and collateral agent under the Exit Term Facility Credit Agreement shall be selected by the Borrower and the Required Financing Commitment Parties; and

(g) upon the effectiveness of the Exit Term Facility Credit Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof and the effective date of the Acceptable Plan, the Loans, the Commitments, this Agreement and all Obligations hereunder shall terminate and be superseded and replaced by the Exit Term Facility Credit Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of continuing and converting Loans into loans under the Exit Term Facility Credit Agreement as set forth above, each Lender shall have the right (the “Cash Exit Option”) to effect the Exit Conversion with respect to all or a portion of its Loans by (x) funding (or by its designee funding) (such funding entity, the “Exit Term Lender”) cash to Reorganized Pyxus (as defined in the RSA) in respect of loans borrowed under the Exit Term Facility Credit Agreement on the effective date of the Acceptable Plan in an amount not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Lender’s then-outstanding Loans and (y) Reorganized Pyxus (as defined in the RSA) applying all such cash immediately following receipt thereof on such effective date to repay in cash a like principal amount of such Lender’s Loans (it being understood and agreed that the Exit Term Lender shall be the lender under the Exit Term Facility Credit Agreement for all purposes with respect to any loans borrowed thereunder pursuant to the Cash Exit Option). The Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Loan Parties shall cooperate with one another to implement the Cash Exit Option pursuant to terms, conditions and procedures reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Required Financing Commitment Parties.

Subject to the entry and terms of the Orders, each Loan Party has the requisite organizational and constitutional power and authority to execute, deliver and perform the terms and provisions of each of the Loan Documents to which it is party and has taken all necessary Business action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by it of each of such Loan Documents. Each Loan Party has duly executed and delivered each of the Loan Documents to which it is party, and each of such Loan Documents constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be limited by (a) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws generally affecting creditors’ rights (including the entry into and the terms of the Orders) (b) equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law) and (c) in the case of each UK Loan Party and UK Security Document, to the UK Legal Reservations and the UK Perfection Requirements).

SECTION 3.03 No Violation. Subject to the entry and terms of the Orders, neither the execution, delivery or performance by any Loan Party of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, nor compliance by it with the terms and provisions thereof, (a) will contravene any Requirement of Law, (b) will conflict with or result in any breach of any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien (except pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon any of the property or assets of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, charge, pledge, debenture, deed of trust, credit agreement or loan agreement, or any other material agreement, contract or instrument, in each case to which any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any its property or assets is bound or to which it may be subject including, without limitation, the Loan Documents, or (c) will violate any provision of the certificate or articles of incorporation, articles of association, memorandum of association, certificate of formation or incorporation (as applicable), limited liability company agreement or bylaws (or equivalent organizational or constitutional documents), as applicable, of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries.

45

SECTION 3.04 Approvals. Other than entry of the Orders, no order, consent, approval, license, authorization or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with (except for (x) those that have otherwise been obtained or made on or prior to the Closing Date and which remain in full force and effect on the Closing Date and (y) filings with respect to the Subsidiary Guarantors which are not Debtors which are necessary to perfect the security interests created or intended to be created under the Security Documents, which filings will be made within ten days following the Closing Date or as required by Section 2.20), or exemption by, any Governmental Authority is required to be obtained or made by, or on behalf of, any Loan Party to authorize, or is required to be obtained or made by, or on behalf of, any Loan Party in connection with, (a) the execution, delivery and performance of any Loan Document or (b) the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of any such Loan Document, except for (x) filings with the Registrar of Companies at Companies House, HM Land Registry, and comparable offices in foreign jurisdictions and equivalent filings in foreign jurisdictions (y) any other filings or registrations required to perfect liens created by the Security Documents (including in respect of UK Loan Parties and each UK Security Document, filings with the Registrar of Companies at Companies House and HM Land Registry) (and in each case subject, in the case of each UK Loan Party and each Security Document governed by English law, to the UK Legal Reservations and the UK Perfection Requirements).

SECTION 3.05 Financial Statements; Undisclosed Liabilities; Projections.

(a) (i) The audited consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries at March 31, 2017, March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2019 and the related consolidated statements of income and cash flows and changes in shareholders’ equity of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the Fiscal Years of March 31, 2017, March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2019, ended on such dates, in each case as set forth in the Borrower’s applicable Form 10-K and furnished to the Lenders, present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries at the date of said financial statements and the results for the respective periods covered thereby; and (ii) the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries at June 30, 2019, September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2019 and the related consolidated statements of income and cash flows and changes in shareholders’ equity of the Borrower for the fiscal quarter ended on such date as set forth in the Borrower’s June 30, 2019, September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2019 Form 10-Q, as applicable, present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries at the date of said financial statements and the results for the period covered thereby, subject to normal year-end adjustments. All such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied except to the extent provided in the notes to said financial statements and subject, in the case of the unaudited financial statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments (all of which are of a recurring nature and none of which, individually or in the aggregate, would be material) and the absence of footnotes.

(b) Except as fully disclosed in the financial statements referred to in Section 3.05(a) or in other filings with the SEC made on or prior to the Petition Date, there were, as of the Closing Date, no liabilities or obligations with respect to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any nature whatsoever (whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise and whether or not due) which, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have an Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower does not know of any basis for the assertion against it or any of its Subsidiaries of any liability or obligation of any nature whatsoever that is not fully disclosed in the financial statements referred to in Section 3.05(a) or in other filings with the SEC made on or prior to the Petition Date which, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

46

(c) The Projections have been prepared in good faith and are based on reasonable assumptions at the time such Projections were made, and there are no statements or conclusions in the Projections which are based upon or include information known to the Borrower to be misleading in any material respect or which fail to take into account material information known to the Borrower regarding the matters reported therein. On the Closing Date, the Borrower believes that the Projections are reasonable and attainable, it being recognized by the Lenders, however, that projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that the actual results during the period or periods covered by the Projections may differ from the projected results included in such Projections and such differences may be material.

(d) Since the Petition Date, nothing has occurred that has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.06 Litigation. Other than the Cases, there are no litigations, investigations, actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, threatened (a) with respect to the Transactions or any Loan Document or (b) that has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.07 True and Complete Disclosure. All factual information (taken as a whole) furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower in writing to the Administrative Agent or any Lender (including, without limitation, all information contained in the Loan Documents) for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated herein or therein is, and all other such factual information (taken as a whole) hereafter furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower in writing to the Administrative Agent or any Lender will be, true and accurate in all material respects on the date as of which such information is dated or certified (or, if such information has been updated, amended or supplemented, on the date as of which any such update, amendment or supplement is dated or certified) and not incomplete by omitting to state any material fact necessary in order to make such information (taken as a whole) not misleading in any material respect at such time in light of the circumstances under which such information was provided, it being understood and agreed that for purposes of this Section 3.07, such factual information shall not include the Projections or any pro forma financial information, budgets or any other estimation.

SECTION 3.08 Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations.

(a) All proceeds of the Loans will be used in accordance with the terms of the Approved DIP Budget (subject to Permitted Variances), including, without limitation: (i) to effect the ABL Refinancing, (ii) to pay amounts due to Lenders and the Administrative Agent hereunder and professional fees and expenses (including legal, financial advisor, appraisal and valuation-related fees and expenses) incurred by Lenders and the Administrative Agent, including those incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, documentation and court approval of the Transactions, (iii) to make adequate protection payments, (iv) to provide working capital, and for other general corporate purposes of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries, and (v) to pay administration costs of the Cases and Claims or amounts approved by the Bankruptcy Court in the Orders, the First Day Orders and “second day” orders or other orders entered by the Bankruptcy Court which are satisfactory to the Required Financing Commitment Parties.

(b) No part of any Credit Event (or the proceeds thereof) will be used to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or to extend credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock. Neither the making of any Loan nor the use of the proceeds thereof nor the occurrence of any other Credit Event will violate or be inconsistent with the provisions of Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X. Not more than 25% of the value of the assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole is represented by Margin Stock.

47

(c) The Borrower will not, directly or indirectly, use the proceeds of the Loans, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any subsidiary, joint venture partner or other Person, (i) to fund any activities or business of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any Sanctioned Country, or (ii) in any other manner that would result in a violation of Sanctions by any Person (including any Person participating in the Loans, whether as underwriter, advisor, investor, or otherwise).

SECTION 3.09 Tax Returns and Payments. Each of the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has timely filed or caused to be timely filed with the appropriate Governmental Authority all federal and other material returns, statements, forms and reports for taxes (the “Returns”) required to be filed by, or with respect to the income, properties or operations of, the Borrower and/or any of its Subsidiaries. The Returns accurately reflect in all material respects all liability for taxes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, as applicable, for the periods covered thereby. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has paid all material taxes and assessments payable by it which have become due, other than those that are being contested in good faith and adequately disclosed and fully provided for on the financial statements of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in accordance with GAAP and except taxes the payment of which are stayed by the Cases. There is no action, suit, proceeding, investigation, audit or claim now pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened by any authority regarding any material taxes relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries which, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.10 Compliance with ERISA.

(a) Each Plan is in compliance in form and operation with its terms and with ERISA and the Code (including without limitation the Code provisions compliance with which is necessary for any intended favorable tax treatment) and all other applicable laws and regulations, except where any failure to comply could not reasonably be expected, either individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No ERISA Event has occurred, or is reasonably expected to occur, other than as could not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) There exists no actual Unfunded Pension Liability with respect to any Plan, which either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) There are no actions, suits or claims pending against or involving a Plan (other than routine claims for benefits) or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, which would reasonably be expected to be asserted successfully against any Plan and, if so asserted successfully, could reasonably be expected either individually or in the aggregate to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(d) The Borrower, its Subsidiaries and any ERISA Affiliate have made all contributions to or under each Plan and Multiemployer Plan required by law within the applicable time limits prescribed thereby, the terms of such Plan or Multiemployer Plan, respectively, or any contract or agreement requiring contributions to a Plan or Multiemployer Plan except where any failure to comply, either individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

48

(e) No Plan which is subject to Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA has applied for or received an extension of any amortization period, within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 303 or 304 of ERISA. The Borrower, its Subsidiaries and any ERISA Affiliate have not ceased operations at a facility so as to become subject to the provisions of Section 4068(a) of ERISA, withdrawn as a substantial employer so as to become subject to the provisions of Section 4063 of ERISA or ceased making contributions to any Plan subject to Section 4064(a) of ERISA to which it made contributions except as, with respect to each of the foregoing, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. None of the Borrower, its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate have incurred or reasonably expect to incur liability to the PBGC which, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and no lien imposed under the Code or ERISA on the assets of the Borrower, its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate exists or is likely to arise on account of any Plan. None of the Borrower, its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate has any liability under Section 4069 or 4212(c) of ERISA.

(f) Except as could not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect: each Foreign Pension Plan has been maintained in compliance with its terms and with the requirements of any and all applicable laws, statutes, rules, regulations and orders and has been maintained, where required, in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities; all contributions required to be made with respect to a Foreign Pension Plan have been timely made; neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has incurred any obligation in connection with the termination of, or withdrawal from, any Foreign Pension Plan; and the present value of the accrued benefit liabilities (whether or not vested) under each Foreign Pension Plan, determined as of the end of the Borrower most recently ended fiscal year on the basis of actuarial assumptions, each of which is reasonable, did not exceed the current value of the assets of such Foreign Pension Plan allocable to such benefit liabilities.

SECTION 3.11 Security Documents.

(a) Subject to (y) in the case of the Debtors, the entry of the Orders and (z) in the case of UK Loan Parties and UK Security Documents, the UK Legal Reservations and the UK Perfection Requirements, each of the Security Documents are effective to create in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties a legal, valid, and enforceable security interest in all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties party thereto in the Collateral described therein, and the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, has a fully perfected security interest in all right, title and interest in all of the Collateral described therein, with (A) in the case of the Debtors, such priority as provided for in the Orders and (B) in the case of the other Loan Parties, first priority, and in each case subject to Permitted Liens. In the case of Collateral owned by Subsidiary Guarantors that are Domestic Subsidiaries which are not Debtors, (A) when financing statements are filed in the offices specified in the schedules to the Pledge and Security Agreement, the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) shall have a fully perfected Lien (subject to all Permitted Liens) on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of such Subsidiary Guarantors in such Collateral and, subject to Section 9-315 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code (to the extent applicable), the proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations to the extent perfection can be obtained by filing Uniform Commercial Code financing statements, in each case prior and superior in right to the Lien of any other person (except Permitted Liens) and (B) the recordation of (x) the grant of security interest in U.S. Patents, if applicable, and (y) the grant of security interest in U.S. Trademarks, if applicable, in the respective form attached to the Pledge and Security Agreement, in each case in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, together with filings on Form UCC-1 made pursuant to the Pledge and Security Agreement, will create, to the extent as may be perfected by such filings and recordation, a perfected security interest in the

49

United States trademarks and patents covered by the Pledge and Security Agreement, and the recordation of the grant of security interest in U.S. Copyrights, if applicable, in the form attached to the Pledge and Security Agreement with the United States Copyright Office, together with filings on Form UCC-1 made pursuant to the Pledge and Security Agreement, will create, to the extent as may be perfected by such filings and recordation, a perfected security interest in the United States copyrights covered by the Pledge and Security Agreement.

(b) Except for the entry of the Orders, and no filings or recordings are required in order to perfect such security interests in the Collateral owned by the Debtors.

(c) The Interim Order, when entered by the Bankruptcy Court, is (and the Final Order when entered by the Bankruptcy Court will be) effective to create in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid, binding and enforceable perfected security interest in the Collateral owned by the Debtors without the necessity of the execution of mortgages, security agreements, pledge agreements, financing statements or other agreements or documents except to the extent set forth in such Orders.

(d) Subject to entry of the Interim Order (and the Final Order, as applicable) the Obligations of the Debtors shall have the status and priority set forth in Section 2.22 and, for the avoidance of doubt, are subject to the Carve Out.

(xi) the incurrence by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to renew, refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness that was permitted by this Agreement to be incurred under clauses (iii), (viii) or (xi) of this Section 6.03(b);

(xii) the incurrence by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice; provided, that any such Indebtedness, to the extent owed by the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor, shall be unsecured and expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations and an intercompany note evidencing such indebtedness owed to a Loan Party shall delivered to the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 5.13 and 5.19; and

(xiii) the Guarantee by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of Indebtedness of the Borrower or a Subsidiary of the Borrower to the extent that the guaranteed Indebtedness was permitted to be incurred by another provision of this Section 6.03; provided that if the Indebtedness being guaranteed is subordinated to or pari passu with the Credit Facility, then the Guarantee must be subordinated or pari passu, as applicable, to the same extent as the Indebtedness guaranteed.

For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 6.03, in the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (i) through (xiii) above the Borrower will be permitted to classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of its incurrence, or later reclassify all or a portion of such item of Indebtedness, in any manner that complies with this Section 6.03.

The Borrower will not incur, and will not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to incur, any Indebtedness (including Permitted Debt) that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Borrower or such Subsidiary Guarantor unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payment to the Credit Facility and the Guarantees thereof on substantially identical terms; provided, however, that no Indebtedness will be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Borrower solely by virtue of being unsecured or by virtue of being secured on junior priority basis.

The accrual of interest or preferred stock dividends and the accretion or amortization of original issue discount will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of

71

preferred stock or Disqualified Stock for purposes of this covenant. For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be utilized, calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6.03, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Borrower or any Subsidiary may incur pursuant to this Section 6.03 shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values.

The amount of any Indebtedness outstanding as of any date will be:

(i) the accreted value of the Indebtedness, in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original issue discount;

(ii) the principal amount of the Indebtedness, in the case of any other Indebtedness; and

(iii) in respect of Indebtedness of another Person secured by a Lien on the assets of the specified Person, the lesser of:

(A) the Fair Market Value of such assets at the date of determination; and

(B) the amount of the Indebtedness of the other Person.

(k) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries may dispose of property and assets to the extent such property and assets were the subject of a casualty or of condemnation proceedings upon the occurrence of the related Recovery Event;

(l) the sale of Accounts arising from sales of tobacco, which Accounts are sold pursuant to the Existing Securitization Facilities or substantially similar factoring arrangements without recourse;

(m) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries may cancel or abandon intellectual property rights which are, in the reasonable business judgment of the Borrower or such Subsidiary, no longer material to, or no longer used or useful in the business of the Borrower or such Subsidiary;

(n) the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of a Subsidiary (other than a Guarantor) of the Borrower, if the Borrower determines in good faith that such a dissolution, liquidation or winding up is in the best interests of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and is not materially disadvantageous to the Lenders; and

(o) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries may consummate the Corporate Restructuring Transaction and transactions listed on Schedule 6.04.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agents are hereby expressly authorized to execute any and all documents (including releases) with respect to the DIP Collateral and the rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Security Documents, and the Orders.

The provisions of this Article VIII are solely for the benefit of Agents and Lenders and no Loan Party shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions thereof. In performing its functions and duties hereunder, each Agent shall act solely as an agent of Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with or for the Loan Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries.

Neither Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) neither Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) neither Agent shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that such Agent is instructed in writing to exercise by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.08), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, neither Agent shall have any duty to disclose, nor shall it be liable for the failure to disclose,

Neither Agent shall be liable (nor shall any Lender or Loan Party have any right of action whatsoever against any Agent) for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.08) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Neither Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to such Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and neither Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent.

Each Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act or the taking of any action (including the failure to take an action) in connection herewith or any of the other Loan Documents or from the exercise of any power, discretion or authority vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless and until such Agent shall have received instructions in respect thereof from Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.08) and, upon receipt of such instructions from Required Lenders (or such other Lenders, as the case may be), such Agent shall be entitled to act or refrain from acting, or to exercise such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such instructions, including for the avoidance of doubt refraining from any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may be in violation of the automatic stay under the Bankruptcy Code or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of the Bankruptcy Code. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper person.

Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of the Borrower, to appoint a successor; provided that during the existence and continuation of an Event of Default pursuant to Sections 7.01 or 7.05, no consent of the Borrower shall be required. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retirement of the retiring Agent shall become effective on such 30th day and the retiring Agent may (but shall not have any obligation to do so), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent and, so long as no Event of Default pursuant to Sections 7.01 or 7.05 shall have occurred and be continuing, reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After an Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article VIII and Section 9.05 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while acting as Agent.

The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders may treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Collateral Agent and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior written notice. Borrower hereby designates Administrative Agent to serve as Borrower’s agent solely for purposes of maintaining the Register as provided in this Section 9.04(d), and Borrower hereby agrees that, to the extent Administrative Agent serves in such capacity, Administrative Agent and its Related Parties shall constitute an “Indemnitee” hereunder and be indemnified in accordance with Section 9.05(b) hereunder in connection with serving in such capacity.

89

Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Borrower relating to the Loans and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement (other than amendments, modifications or waivers decreasing any fees payable to such participating bank or person hereunder or the amount of principal of or the rate at which interest is payable on the Loans in which such participating bank or person has an interest, extending any scheduled principal payment date or date fixed for the payment of interest on the Loans in which such participating bank or person has an interest, increasing or extending the Commitments in which such participating bank or person has an interest or releasing any Subsidiary Guarantor (other than pursuant to the terms thereof or in connection with the sale of such Subsidiary Guarantor in a transaction permitted by Section 6.04) or all or substantially all of the DIP Collateral). Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.21 with respect to any participant. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(g) Any Lender or participant may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.04, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided that, prior to any such disclosure of information designated by the Borrower as confidential, each such assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall execute an agreement whereby such assignee or participant shall agree (subject to customary exceptions) to preserve the confidentiality of such confidential information on terms no less restrictive than those applicable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.17.

(h) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure extensions of credit to such Lender or in support of obligations owed by such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central banking authority; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that

90

(i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.04, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrower and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any investor, potential investor, rating agency, commercial paper dealer, collateral manager, servicer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

(j) The Borrower shall not assign or delegate any of its rights or duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void.

SECTION 9.05 Expenses; Indemnity.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders in connection with the preparation and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions hereby or thereby contemplated shall be consummated) or incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section 9.05, or in connection with the Loans made issued hereunder, the negotiation and implementation of the RSA and an Acceptable Plan and any other matter, motion or order bearing on the validity, priority and/or repayment of the Obligations in accordance with the terms hereof, including the fees, charges and disbursements of Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, Morris Nichols Arsht & Tunnell LLP, Macfarlanes LLP and De Brauw Blackstone Westbroek N.V., and the fees, charges and disbursements of the Lender Financial Advisor and, in connection with any such enforcement or protection, the fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel in each relevant additional jurisdiction (and any such additional counsel, if necessary, as a result of actual or potential conflicts of interest) for the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders.

(b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing persons (each such person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, penalties and related reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel in each relevant jurisdiction (and any such

91

additional counsel, if necessary, as a result of actual or potential conflicts of interest) for all Indemnitees, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any related transaction and the other transactions contemplated thereby (including the syndication of the Credit Facility), or, in the case of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Loans, (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates), or (iv) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on any property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Claim related in any way to the Borrower or the Subsidiaries; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, penalties or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final judgment to have resulted primarily from (1) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (2) a material breach of the obligations under this Agreement of such Indemnitee or any of such Indemnitee’s Affiliates or of any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or other representatives of the foregoing under this Agreement (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable decision) or (y) result from any proceeding (other than a proceeding against a party hereto acting pursuant to this Agreement or in its capacity as such or of any of its Affiliates or its or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives and the successors of each of the foregoing) solely between or among Indemnitees not arising from any act or omission of a Loan Party or any of its Affiliates.

(c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 9.05, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent (or any sub-agent of the foregoing) in its capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments at the time.

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, neither the Borrower nor any Indemnitee shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee or the Borrower and each of their respective Affiliates, as applicable, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any Loan Document or other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions or any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided, that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the Borrower’s indemnification obligations above to the extent such special, indirect, consequential and punitive damages are included in any third party claim in connection with which any Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder

(e) No Indemnitee referred to above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the Transactions.

92

(f) The provisions of this Section 9.05 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the Transactions, the repayment of any of the Loans, the expiration of the Commitments, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender. All amounts due under this Section 9.05 shall be payable, within 30 days of written demand therefor with a reasonably detailed summary of the amounts claimed.

SECTION 9.06 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, except to the extent prohibited by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and other Loan Documents held by such Lender, provided that at such time such obligations are due or payable. The rights of each Lender and Affiliates of such Lender under this Section 9.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender may have. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, each Secured Party expressly waives its right of setoff (and any similar right including bankers’ liens) with respect to all lockboxes, deposit accounts and other cash management accounts maintained by any grantor and into which any collections for Government Accounts are deposited. For purposes hereof, “Government Accounts” means all accounts on which any federal or state government unit or any intermediary for any federal or state government unit is the obligor.

SECTION 9.07 Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS) SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, OR, AS APPLICABLE, THE BANKRUPTCY CODE.

SECTION 9.08 Waivers; Amendment.

(a) No failure or delay of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender in exercising any power or right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Except as otherwise provided herein, neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof, may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders; provided, however, that no such

93

agreement shall (i) decrease the principal amount of, or extend the maturity of or any scheduled principal payment date or date for the payment of any interest on any Loan, or waive or excuse any such payment or any part thereof, decrease the rate of interest on any Loan or reduce the amount of any fee payable hereunder, without the prior written consent of each Lender directly adversely affected thereby, (ii) increase or extend the Commitment or decrease or extend the date for payment of any fees or any other amount due and payable hereunder to any Lender without the prior written consent of such Lender, (iii) amend or modify the pro rata requirements of Section 2.17, the sharing provisions of Section 2.18, the provisions of Section 9.04(j) or the provisions of this Section 9.08 or release all or substantially all of the value of the Subsidiary Guarantors (other than pursuant to the terms hereof or thereof or in connection with the sale of such Subsidiary Guarantor in a transaction permitted by Section 6.04) or all or substantially all of the DIP Collateral (or subordinate the Liens in favor of the Collateral Agent on all or substantially all of the DIP Collateral), without the prior written consent of each Lender, (iv) [reserved], (v) modify the protections afforded to an SPC pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.04(i) without the written consent of such SPC, (vi) [reserved], (vi) reduce the percentage contained in the definition of the term “Required Lenders,” or impose additional restrictions on the ability of the Lenders to assign their rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, without the prior written consent of each Lender (it being understood that with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Commitments on the date hereof), (vii) amend the definition of “Financing Commitment Party” or “Required Financing Commitment Parties” without the prior written consent of each Financing Commitment Party, (viii) amend the definition of “Backstop Commitment Party” without the prior written consent of each Backstop Commitment Party or (ix) reduce the number or percentage of the Lenders required to consent, approve or otherwise take any action under the Loan Documents without the prior written consent of each Lender affected thereby; provided, further, that (A) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent; and (B) the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may amend or supplement this Agreement and any other Loan Documents, without the consent of any Lender, in order to (x) cure an obvious error or any error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature or (y) cause any other Loan Documents to be consistent with this Agreement.

SECTION 9.09 Certain Releases of Guarantees and Security Interests.

(a) Upon the closing of any sale, transfer or other disposition of all of the Equity Interests of any Subsidiary Guarantor permitted pursuant to Section 6.04, (i) the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to the Guarantee Agreement shall automatically be discharged and released without any further action by the Collateral Agent or any Lender, and (ii) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders will, upon the reasonable request and at the sole expense of the Borrower, execute and deliver any instrument or other document in a form acceptable to the Collateral Agent which may reasonably be required to evidence such discharge and release, all without representation, recourse or warranty.

(b) Upon the closing of any sale, transfer or other disposition of Equity Interests of any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Subsidiary of the Borrower permitted pursuant to Section 6.04, (i) the Collateral Agent shall release to the Borrower, without representation, warranty or recourse, express or implied, the pledged Equity Interests issued by such Subsidiary Guarantor and any pledged Equity Interests issued by any other Subsidiary, as applicable, held by such Subsidiary Guarantor, (ii) the Collateral Agent shall release its security interest in all DIP Collateral of such Subsidiary, and (iii) the Collateral Agent will, upon the request and at the sole expense of the Borrower, execute and deliver any instrument or other document in a form acceptable to the Collateral Agent which may reasonably be required to evidence such release.

94

(c) [Reserved].

(d) The Collateral Agent will, upon the request and at the sole expense of the Borrower, execute and deliver any instrument or other document in a form acceptable to the Collateral Agent which may be reasonably be required to discharge and release, all without representation, recourse or warranty, any Lien on any DIP Collateral granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon Payment in Full of the Obligations, (ii) that is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of or to be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale, transfer or other disposition permitted hereunder to a person other than the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor, and upon consummation by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any such sale, transfer or other disposition, any Lien granted by the Borrower or such Subsidiary under the Loan Documents on such DIP Collateral shall automatically be discharged and released, and (iii) the Collateral Agent and the Lenders will, upon the request and at the sole expense of the Borrower, execute and deliver any instrument or other document in a form acceptable to the Collateral Agent which may reasonably be required to evidence such discharge and release, all without representation, recourse or warranty.

(e) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize each of the Agents, at their option and in its discretion, to take the actions described in this Section 9.09. Upon request by any Agent at any time, the Borrower shall deliver a certificate to such Agent stating that any sale, transfer or other disposition described in this Section 9.09 is permitted under the Loan Documents. Upon request by any Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Agents’ authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations, in each case pursuant to this Section 9.09. The Agents shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

SECTION 9.10 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan or participation in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan or participation hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan or participation but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 9.10 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or participations or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

SECTION 9.11 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof. Any other previous agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any person (other than the parties hereto and thereto, their respective successors

95

and assigns permitted hereunder) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 9.12 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.12.

SECTION 9.13 Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

SECTION 9.14 Orders Control. To the extent that any specific provision hereof is inconsistent with any of the Orders, the Interim Order or Final Order (as applicable) shall control.

SECTION 9.15 Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 9.16 Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

(a) During the pendency of the Cases, each party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment (in each case other than with respect to any Security Document to the extent expressly provided otherwise therein), and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that, during the pendency of the Cases, all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such Bankruptcy Court (in each case other than with respect to any Security Document to the extent expressly provided otherwise therein). Following the close of the Cases, the Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment (in each case other than with respect to any Security Document to the extent expressly provided otherwise therein), and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent

96

permitted by law, in such Federal court (in each case other than with respect to any Security Document to the extent expressly provided otherwise therein). Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction following the close of the Cases.

(b) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents during the pendency of the Cases in the Bankruptcy Court or, following the close of the Cases, in any New York State or Federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

(d) Without limiting the foregoing, each of the Loan Parties (other than any Loan Party organized under the laws of the United States or any State thereof or the District of Columbia) irrevocably designates, appoints and empowers as of the Closing Date, the Borrower (the “Process Agent”), with an office on the Closing Date at 8001 Aerial Center Parkway, Morrisville, NC, 27560, as its authorized designee, appointee and agent to receive, accept and acknowledge on its behalf and for its property, service of copies of the summons and complaint and any other process which may be served in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof; such service may be made by mailing or delivering a copy of such process to such Loan Party in care of the Process Agent at the Process Agent’s above address, and each such Loan Party hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Process Agent to accept such service on its behalf. Each of the Loan Parties (other than any Loan Party organized under the laws of the United States or any State thereof or the District of Columbia) further agrees to take any and all such action as may be necessary to maintain the designation and appointment of the Process Agent in full force in effect for a period of three years following the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder (other than contingent amounts not then due and payable); provided, that if the Process Agent shall cease to act as such, each such Loan Party agrees to promptly designate a new authorized designee, appointee and agent in New York City on the terms and for the purposes reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent hereunder.

SECTION 9.17 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ officers, directors, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel, numbering, administration and settlement service providers, and other advisors (it being understood that the persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or quasi-regulatory authority (such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or any suit, action or proceeding relating to the enforcement of its rights

97

hereunder or thereunder, (e) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 9.17, to (i) any actual or prospective assignee of or participant in any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective obligations, (f) with the consent of the Borrower or (g) to the extent such Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.17. For the purposes of this Section 9.17, “Information” shall mean all information received from the Borrower and related to the Borrower or its business, other than any such information that was available to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to its disclosure by the Borrower; provided that any Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts give the Borrower prior notice of any disclosure pursuant to clause (c) to the extent permissible and reasonably practicable, except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any governmental regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority. Any person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 9.17 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such person would accord its own confidential information.

SECTION 9.18 USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower or such Subsidiary and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower or such Subsidiary in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act.

The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and their Affiliates may be engaged, for their own accounts or the accounts of customers, in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and their Affiliates, and none of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and their Affiliates has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or any of their Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it or any of its Affiliates may have against the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders and their Affiliates with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.
