and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party do not and will not (i) violate any material
provision of federal, state, or local law or regulation applicable to any Loan Party or its
Subsidiaries, the Governing Documents of any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries, or any order,
judgment, or decree of any court or other Governmental Authority binding on any Loan Party or
its Subsidiaries, (ii) conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute (with due notice or lapse of

reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (iii) result in or require the creation or
imposition of any Lien of any nature whatsoever upon any assets of any Loan Party, other than

6
or consent of any Person under any Material Contract of any Loan Party, other than consents or
approvals that have been obtained and that are still in force and effect and except, in the case of
Material Contracts, for consents or approvals, the failure of which to obtain could not
individually or in the aggregate reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect.
(c) Such Loan Party (i) is duly organized and existing and in good standing under the
laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (ii) is qualified to do business in any state where the
failure to be so qualified could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and
(iii) has all requisite power and authority to own and operate its properties, to carry on its

could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect), to enter into this
Amendment and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party and to carry out the
transactions contemplated thereby.
(d) This Amendment and each other Loan Document has been duly executed and
delivered by such Loan Party that is a party thereto and is the legally valid and binding
obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its
respective terms, except as enforcement may be limited by equitable principles or by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights
generally.
(e) The representations and warranties contained in Section 4 of the Credit
Agreement are true and correct in all material respects (except that such materiality qualifier
shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that already are qualified or
modified by materiality in the text thereof) after giving effect to this Amendment on and as of
the First Amendment Effective Date as though made on and as of the First Amendment Effective
Date (except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date,
in which case they are true and correct in all material respects (or in all respects, as applicable) as
of such earlier date), and no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on and as
of the First Amendment Effective Date, or would result from this Amendment or any other Loan
Document delivered in connection herewith becoming effective in accordance with its terms.
5. Release. Each of the Borrowers and the Guarantors may have certain Claims
against the Released Parties (as each such term is defined below), regarding or relating to the
Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents. The Agent, the Co-Collateral Agents, the
Lenders, the Borrowers and the Guarantors desire to resolve each and every one of such Claims
in conjunction with the execution of this Amendment and thus each of the Borrowers and the
Guarantors makes the releases contained in this Section 5. In consideration of the Agent, the Co-
Collateral Agent and the Lenders entering into this Amendment, each of the Borrowers and the
Guarantors hereby fully and unconditionally releases and forever discharges each of the Agent,
the Co-Collateral Agent and the Lenders, and their respective directors, officers, employees,
subsidiaries, branches, affiliates, attorneys, agents, representatives, successors and assigns and all
persons, firms, corporations and organizations acting on any of their behalves (collectively, the
“Released Parties”), of and from any and all claims, allegations, causes of action, costs or
demands and liabilities, of whatever kind or nature, from the beginning of the world to the date
on which this Amendment is executed, whether known or unknown, liquidated or unliquidated,
fixed or contingent, asserted or unasserted, foreseen or unforeseen, matured or unmatured,
7
suspected or unsuspected, anticipated or unanticipated, which the Borrowers or any Guarantor
has, had, claims to have had or hereafter claims to have against the Released Parties by reason of
any act or omission on the part of the Released Parties, or any of them, occurring prior to the
date on which this Amendment is executed, including all such loss or damage of any kind
heretofore sustained or that may arise as a consequence of the dealings among the parties up to
and including the date on which this Amendment is executed, including the administration or
enforcement of the Advances, the Term Loan, the Obligations, the Credit Agreement or any of
the other Loan Documents (collectively, all of the foregoing, the “Claims”). Each of the
Borrowers and the Guarantors represents and warrants that it has no knowledge of any claim by
it against the Released Parties or of any facts or acts of omissions of the Released Parties which
on the date hereof would be the basis of a claim by the Borrowers or the Guarantors against the
Released Parties which is not released hereby. Each of the Borrowers and the Guarantors
represents and warrants that the foregoing constitutes a full and complete release of all Claims.
6. Miscellaneous.
(a) Continued Effectiveness of the Credit Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are, and shall continue to
be, in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects, except that on
and after the First Amendment Effective Date, (i) all references in the Credit Agreement to “this
Agreement”, “hereto”, “hereof”, “hereunder” or words of like import referring to the Credit
Agreement shall mean the Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment, and (ii) all
references in the other Loan Documents to the “Credit Agreement”, “thereto”, “thereof”,
“thereunder” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement shall mean the Credit
Agreement as amended by this Amendment. To the extent that the Credit Agreement or any
other Loan Document purports to pledge to the Agent, or to grant to the Agent, a security interest
or lien, such pledge or grant is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects. Except as expressly
provided herein, the execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not operate
as a waiver or an amendment of any right, power or remedy of the Agent, the Co-Collateral
Agents and the Lenders under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor constitute
a waiver or an amendment of any provision of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan
Document.
(b) Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts
and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an
original, but all of which taken together, shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery
of an executed counterpart of this Amendment by telefacsimile or other electronic method of
transmission shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this
Amendment. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Amendment by telefacsimile
or other electronic method of transmission also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of
this Amendment but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the
validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Amendment. The foregoing shall apply to each
other Loan Document mutatis mutandis.
(c) Section Headings. Headings and numbers have been set forth herein for
convenience only. Unless the contrary is compelled by the context, everything contained in each
Section applies equally to this entire Amendment.
8
(d) Costs and Expenses. The Borrowers agree to pay on demand all Lender Group
Expenses of the Agent in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this
Amendment.
(e) Amendment as Loan Document. Each Loan Party hereby acknowledges and
agrees that this Amendment constitutes a “Loan Document” under the Credit Agreement.
Accordingly, it shall be an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement if (i) any representation
or warranty made by any Loan Party under or in connection with this Amendment shall have
been untrue, false or misleading in any material respect when made, or (ii) any Loan Party shall
fail to perform or observe any term, covenant or agreement contained in this Amendment.
(f) Governing Law. THE VALIDITY OF THIS AMENDMENT, THE
CONSTRUCTION, INTERPRETATION, AND ENFORCEMENT HEREOF, AND THE
RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES HERETO WITH RESPECT TO ALL MATTERS ARISING
HEREUNDER OR RELATED HERETO SHALL BE DETERMINED UNDER,
GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK.
(g) Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, EACH LOAN PARTY AND EACH MEMBER OF THE LENDER
GROUP HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF
ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF ANY OF
THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED
THEREIN, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY
CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW OR STATUTORY CLAIMS. EACH
LOAN PARTY AND EACH MEMBER OF THE LENDER GROUP REPRESENT THAT
EACH HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER AND EACH KNOWINGLY AND
VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING
CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, A

DEFINITIONS AND CONSTRUCTION.1.
Definitions. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings1.1
specified therefor on Schedule 1.1.
Accounting Terms. Any accounting term used in this Agreement shall have,1.2
unless otherwise specifically provided herein, the meaning customarily given in accordance with

provided herein, in accordance with GAAP as consistently applied and using the same method
for inventory valuation as used in the preparation of the financial statements of Parent most
recently received by Agent prior to the date hereofFirst Amendment Effective Date; provided that
if Administrative Borrower notifies Agent that Administrative Borrower requests an amendment
to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any Accounting Change occurring after the
ClosingFirst Amendment Effective Date or in the application thereof on the operation of such
provision (or if Agent notifies Borrower that the Required Lenders request an amendment to any
provision hereof for such purpose), regardless of whether any such notice is given before or after
such Accounting Change or in the application thereof, then Agent and Administrative Borrower
agree that they will negotiate in good faith amendments to the provisions of this Agreement that
are directly affected by such Accounting Change with the intent of having the respective
positions of the Lenders and Borrowers after such Accounting Change conform as nearly as
possible to their respective positions as of the date of this AgreementFirst Amendment Effective
Date and, until any such amendments have been agreed upon and agreed to by Agent,
Administrative Borrower, and the Required Lenders, the provisions in this Agreement shall be
calculated as if no such Accounting Change had occurred.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in GAAP or any interpretations or other
pronouncements by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or otherwise, the term
“unqualified opinion” as used herein to refer to opinions or reports provided by accountants shall
mean an opinion or report that is unqualified and also does not include any explanation,
supplemental comment or other comment concerning the ability of the applicable person to

construed and defined as set forth in the Code unless otherwise defined herein; provided
however, that to the extent that the Code is used to define any term herein and such term is
defined differently in different Articles of the Code, the definition of such term contained in

other Loan Document refer to this Agreement or such other Loan Document, as the case may be,
as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement or such other Loan Document,
as the case may be. The phrase “date hereof” as used in this Agreement refers to the Closing

rights. Any reference herein or in any other Loan Document to the satisfaction, repayment, or
payment in full of the Obligations shall mean the repayment in full in cash (or, in the case of
Letters of Credit or Bank Products, providing Letter of Credit Collateralization) of all

continuing until such Event of Default is waived in accordance with Section 14.1 or is cured in a
2
manner satisfactory to Agent, if such Event of Default is capable of being cured as determined by
Agent. All references to the term “good faith” used herein when applicable to Agent or any
Lender shall mean, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the UCC,
honesty in fact in the conduct or transaction concerned. Borrowers and Guarantors shall have the
burden of proving any lack of good faith on the part of Agent or any Lender alleged by any
Borrower or Guarantor at any time. Unless otherwise indicated herein, all references to time of
day refer to Eastern Standard Time or Eastern daylight saving time, as in effect in New York City
on such day. In the computation of periods of time from a specified date to a later specified date,

performed in accordance with their terms. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are the
result of negotiations among and have been reviewed by counsel to Agent and the other parties,
and are the products of all parties. Accordingly, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
shall not be construed against Agent or Lenders merely because of Agent’s or any Lender’s
involvement in their preparation.

Agreement shall be deemed incorporated herein by reference.
LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT.2.
Advances.2.1
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and during the term(a)
of this Agreement, each Advances Lender agrees (severally, not jointly or jointly and severally)
to make revolving loans (including Swing Loans) (collectively, “Advances”) to Borrowers in an
amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of an amount
equal to the lesser of (i) the Maximum Revolver Amount less the Letter of Credit Usage at such
time, and (ii) the Borrowing Base less the Letter of Credit Usage at such time.
Amounts borrowed pursuant to this Section 2.1 may be repaid and, subject(b)
to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, reborrowed at any time during the term of this

and with respect to such matters, as Co-Collateral Agents in their Permitted Discretion shall
deem necessary or appropriate, including Reserves with respect to (i) sums that Parent or its
Subsidiaries are required to pay under any Section of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document (such as taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, or, in the case of leased assets, rents
or other amounts payable under such leases) and has failed to pay, and (ii) amounts owing by
Parent or its Subsidiaries to any Person to the extent secured by a Lien on, any of the Collateral
(other than a Permitted Lien), which Lien, in the Permitted Discretion of Co-Collateral Agents

landlords, warehousemen, carriers, mechanics, materialmen, laborers, or suppliers, or Liens for
ad valorem, excise, sales, or other taxes where given priority under applicable law) in and to such
item of the Collateral.

Pro Rata Share of $70,000,000. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the
First Amendment Effective Date, each Term Loan Lender with a Term Loan Commitment agrees
(severally, not jointly or jointly and severally) to make term loans (collectively, the “Term Loan”)
to Borrowers in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Term Loan Amount,
such that as of the First Amendment Effective Date the aggregate outstanding principal balance
of the Term Loan hereunder shall be $70,000,000. The principal of the Term Loan shall be
repaid on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter (commencing with the calendar quarter
4
ending December 31, 2016) in equal installments of $5,833,333.33 per quarter, together with all
accrued and unpaid interest on the Term Loan as of each such date; provided, that, the
outstanding unpaid principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest on the Term Loan shall
be due and payable on the earlier of (1) December 31, 2016,September 29, 2019, and (2) the date
of the acceleration of the Term Loan in accordance with the terms hereof. Any principal amount
of the Term Loan that is repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. All principal of, interest on,
and other amounts payable in respect of the Term Loan shall constitute Obligations hereunder.
Borrowing Procedures and Settlements.2.3
Procedure for Borrowing. Each Borrowing (whether or not in respect of(a)
a Swing Loan) shall be made by a written request by an Authorized Person delivered to Agent.
For each Borrowing of Swing Loans pursuant to Section 2.3(b) below, such notice must be
received by Agent no later than 12:00 noon on the Funding Date and for each Borrowing
pursuant to Section 2.3(c) below, such notice must be received by Agent no later than 12:00 noon
on the Business Day immediately preceding the Funding Date, in the case of Base Rate Loans
that are not Swing Loans, and three Business Days preceding the Funding Date, in the case of
LIBOR Rate Loans. All such notices shall specify (1) the amount of the applicable Borrowing,
and (2) the requested Funding Date, which shall be a Business Day.
Making of Swing Loans. In the case of a request for an Advance of a(b)
Swing Loan and so long as either (i) the aggregate amount of Swing Loans made since the last
Settlement Date, minus the amount of Collections or payments applied to Swing Loans since the
last Settlement Date, plus the amount of the requested Advance does not exceed
$55,000,000,45,000,000, or (ii) Swing Line Lender, in its sole discretion, shall agree to make a
Swing Loan notwithstanding the foregoing limitation (provided that with respect to any such
Swing Loans made by Swing Line Lender in its discretion, the amounts thereof in excess of the
amount contemplated by clause (i) above, shall be subject to Settlement in accordance with
Section 2.3(e) on the Business Day following the Funding Date for such amounts), Swing Line
Lender shall make an Advance in the amount of such Borrowing (any such Advance made solely
by Swing Line Lender pursuant to this Section 2.3(b) being referred to as a “Swing Loan” and
such Advances being referred to collectively as “Swing Loans”) available to Borrowers on the
Funding Date applicable thereto by transferring immediately available funds to the Designated
Account. Each Swing Loan shall be deemed to be an Advance hereunder and shall be subject to
all the terms and conditions (including Section 3) applicable to other Advances, except that all
payments on any Swing Loan shall be payable to Swing Line Lender solely for its own account.
Subject to the provisions of Section 2.3(d)(ii) Swing Line Lender shall not make and shall not be
obligated to make any Swing Loan if Swing Line Lender has actual knowledge that (A) one or
more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 will not be satisfied on the
requested Funding Date for the applicable Borrowing, or (B) the requested Borrowing would
exceed the Availability on such Funding Date. Swing Line Lender shall not otherwise be required
to determine whether the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 have been
satisfied on the Funding Date applicable thereto prior to making any Swing Loan. The Swing
Loans shall be secured by Agent’s Liens, constitute Advances and Obligations hereunder, and
bear interest at the rate applicable from time to time to Advances that are Base Rate Loans.
5
Making of Loans.(c)
Promptly after receipt of a request for a Borrowing, Agent shall(i)
notify Advances Lenders, not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day immediately preceding
the Funding Date applicable thereto, by telecopy, telephone, or other similar form of
transmission, of the requested Borrowing. Each Advances Lender shall make the amount of such
Advances Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the requested Borrowing available to Agent in immediately
available funds, to Agent’s Account, not later than 12:00 noon on the Funding Date applicable
thereto. After Agent’s receipt of the proceeds of such Advances, Agent shall make the proceeds
thereof available to Borrowers on the applicable Funding Date by transferring immediately
available funds equal to such proceeds received by Agent to the Designated Account; provided,
however, that, subject to the provisions of Section 2.3(d)(ii), Agent shall not request any
Advances Lender to make, and no Advances Lender shall have the obligation to make, any
Advance if (1) one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 will not
be satisfied on the requested Funding Date for the applicable Borrowing unless such condition
has been waived, or (2) the requested Borrowing would exceed the Availability on such Funding
Date.
Unless Agent receives notice from an Advances Lender prior to(ii)
9:00 a.m. on the date of a Borrowing, that such Advances Lender will not make available as and
when required hereunder to Agent for the account of Borrowers the amount of that Advances
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Borrowing, Agent may assume that each Advances Lender has
made or will make such amount available to Agent in immediately available funds on the
Funding Date and Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption,
make available to Borrowers on such date a corresponding amount. If any Advances Lender
shall not have made its full amount available to Agent in immediately available funds and if
Agent in such circumstances has made available to Borrowers such amount, that Advances
Lender shall on the Business Day following such Funding Date make such amount available to
Agent, together with interest at the Defaulting Lender Rate for each day during such period. A
notice submitted by Agent to any Advances Lender with respect to amounts owing under this
Section 2.3(c)(ii) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. If such amount is so made available,
such payment to Agent shall constitute such Advances Lender’s Advance on the date of
Borrowing for all purposes of this Agreement. If such amount is not made available to Agent on
the Business Day following the Funding Date, Agent will notify Borrowers of such failure to
fund and, upon demand by Agent, Borrowers shall pay such amount to Agent for Agent’s
account, together with interest thereon for each day elapsed since the date of such Borrowing, at
a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Advances composing such
Borrowing.
Protective Advances and Optional Overadvances.(d)
Any contrary provision of this Agreement notwithstanding but(i)
subject to the provisions of subsection (d)(iv) below, Agent hereby is authorized by Borrowers
and Lenders, from time to time in Agent’s sole discretion, (A) after the occurrence and during the
continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, or (B) at any time that any of the other
applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 are not satisfied, to make Advances to, or
for the benefit of, Borrowers on behalf of Lenders that Agent, in its Permitted Discretion deems
6
necessary or desirable (1) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, or (2) to
enhance the likelihood of repayment of the Obligations (other than the Bank Product
Obligations) (any of the Advances described in this Section 2.3(d)(i) shall be referred to as
“Protective Advances”). In no event shall any Protective Advances cause (A) the Advances
Usage to exceed the Maximum Revolver Amount, or (B) the sum of the aggregate amount of the
Advances Usage plus the aggregate Term Loan Exposure of all Lenders, to exceed the Maximum
Credit.
Any contrary provision of this Agreement notwithstanding but(ii)
subject to the provisions of subsection (d)(iv) below, Lenders hereby authorize Agent or Swing
Line Lender, as applicable, and either Agent or Swing Line Lender, as applicable, may, but is not
obligated to, knowingly and intentionally, continue to make Advances (including Swing Loans)
to Borrowers notwithstanding that an Overadvance exists or thereby would be created (each such
Overadvance, an “Intentional Overadvance”) so long as (A) after giving effect to such Advances,
the outstanding Advances Usage does not exceed the Borrowing Base by more than the amount
equal to five (5%) percent of the Maximum Revolver Amount, (B) after giving effect to such
Advances, the sum of the aggregate outstanding Advances Usage (except for and excluding
amounts charged to the Loan Account for interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses) plus the
aggregate Term Loan Exposure of all Lenders, does not exceed the Maximum Credit, and (C) in
no event shall Intentional Overadvances remain outstanding for a period of more than forty-five
(45) days without the consent of Required Advances Lenders. In the event Agent obtains actual
knowledge that the Advances Usage exceeds the amounts permitted by the immediately
foregoing sentence, regardless of the amount of, or reason for, such excess, Agent shall notify
Lenders as soon as practicable (and prior to making any (or any additional) Intentional
Overadvances (except for and excluding amounts charged to the Loan Account for interest, fees,
or Lender Group Expenses) unless Agent determines that prior notice would result in imminent
harm to the Collateral or its value), and Lenders with Advances Commitments thereupon shall,
together with Agent, jointly determine the terms of arrangements that shall be implemented with
Borrowers intended to reduce, within a reasonable time, the outstanding principal amount of the
Advances to Borrowers to an amount permitted by the preceding sentence. In such
circumstances, if any Advances Lender objects to the proposed terms of reduction or repayment
of any Overadvance, the terms of reduction or repayment thereof shall be implemented according
to the determination of the Required Advances Lenders. In any event unless otherwise agreed to
by the Required Advances Lenders, Borrowers shall repay Advances in an amount sufficient to
eliminate all Overadvances requiring mandatory repayments under Section 2.4(f) pursuant to and
in accordance with such Section, and after the date all such Overadvances have been eliminated,
there must be at least five (5) consecutive days before Intentional Overadvances are made. The
foregoing provisions are meant for the benefit of Lenders and Agent and are not meant for the
benefit of Borrowers, which shall continue to be bound by the provisions of Section 2.5. Each
Advances Lender shall be obligated to settle with Agent as provided in Section 2.3(e) for the
amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any unintentional Overadvances by Agent reported to
such Lender, any Intentional Overadvances made as permitted under this Section 2.3(d)(ii) and
any Overadvances resulting from the charging to the Loan Account of interest, fees, or Lender
Group Expenses. The Required Advances Lenders may revoke the authority of the Agent to
make future Intentional Overadvances at any time and in no event shall any Intentional
Overadvances cause the Advances Usage to exceed the Maximum Revolver Amount.
7
Each Protective Advance and each Intentional Overadvance shall(iii)
be deemed to be an Advance hereunder, except that no Protective Advance or Intentional
Overadvance shall be eligible to be a LIBOR Rate Loan and, prior to Settlement therefor, all
payments on the Protective Advances shall be payable to Agent solely for its own account. The
Protective Advances and Intentional Overadvances shall be repayable on demand, secured by
Agent’s Liens, constitute Obligations hereunder, and bear interest at the rate applicable from time
to time to Advances that are Base Rate Loans. The ability of Agent to make Protective Advances
is separate and distinct from its ability to make Intentional Overadvances and its ability to make
Intentional Overadvances is separate and distinct from its ability to make Protective Advances.
For the avoidance of doubt, the limitations on Agent’s ability to make Protective Advances do
not apply to Intentional Overadvances and the limitations on Agent’s ability to make Intentional
Overadvances do not apply to Protective Advances. The provisions of this Section 2.3(d) are for
the exclusive benefit of Agent, Swing Line Lender, and Lenders and are not intended to benefit
Borrowers in any way. The Required Advances Lenders may revoke the authority of the Agent to
make future Protective Overadvances at any time and in no event shall any Protective
Overadvances cause the Advances Usage to exceed the Maximum Revolver Amount.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any other(iv)
Loan Document to the contrary: (A) no Intentional Overadvance or Protective Advance may be
made by Agent if such Advance would cause the aggregate principal amount of Intentional
Overadvances and Protective Advances outstanding to exceed an amount equal to five (5%)
percent of the Maximum Revolver Amount; and (B) no Intentional Overadvance or Protective
Advance may be made by Agent if such Advance would cause aggregate Advances Usage to
exceed the Maximum Revolver Amount.
Settlement. It is agreed that each Lender’s funded portion of the(e)
Advances is intended by Lenders to equal, at all times, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the
outstanding Advances. Such agreement notwithstanding, Agent, Swing Line Lender, and the
other Lenders agree (which agreement shall not be for the benefit of Borrowers) that in order to
facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, settlement among
Advances Lenders as to the Advances, the Swing Loans, and the Protective Advances shall take
place on a periodic basis in accordance with the following provisions:
Agent shall request settlement (“Settlement”) with Lenders on a(i)
weekly basis, or on a more frequent basis if so determined by Agent (A) on behalf of Swing Line
Lender, with respect to the outstanding Swing Loans, (B) for itself, with respect to the
outstanding Protective Advances, and (C) with respect to Borrowers’ or their Subsidiaries’
Collections or payments received, as to each by notifying Lenders by telecopy, telephone, or
other similar form of transmission, of such requested Settlement, no later than 2:00 p.m. on the
Business Day immediately prior to the date of such requested Settlement (the date of such
requested Settlement being the “Settlement Date”). Such notice of a Settlement Date shall
include a summary statement of the amount of outstanding Advances, Swing Loans, and
Protective Advances for the period since the prior Settlement Date. Subject to the terms and
conditions contained herein (including Section 2.3(g)): (y) if the amount of the Advances
(including Swing Loans and Protective Advances) made by a Lender that is not a Defaulting
Lender exceeds such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (including Swing Loans and Protective Advances)
as of a Settlement Date, then Agent shall, by no later than 12:00 p.m. on the Settlement Date,
8
transfer in immediately available funds to a Deposit Account of such Lender (as such Lender
may designate), an amount such that each such Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have
as of the Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Advances (including Swing Loans and
Protective Advances), and (z) if the amount of the Advances (including Swing Loans and
Protective Advances) made by a Lender is less than such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the
Advances (including Swing Loans and Protective Advances) as of a Settlement Date, such
Lender shall no later than 12:00 p.m. on the Settlement Date transfer in immediately available
funds to Agent’s Account, an amount such that each such Lender shall, upon transfer of such
amount, have as of the Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Advances (including Swing
Loans and Protective Advances). Such amounts made available to Agent under clause (z) of the
immediately preceding sentence shall be applied against the amounts of the applicable Swing
Loans or Protective Advances and, together with the portion of such Swing Loans or Protective
Advances representing Swing Line Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof, shall constitute Advances of
such Lenders. If any such amount is not made available to Agent by any Lender on the Settlement
Date applicable thereto to the extent required by the terms hereof, Agent shall be entitled to
recover for its account such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon
at the Defaulting Lender Rate.
In determining whether a Lender’s balance of the Advances, Swing(ii)
Loans, and Protective Advances is less than, equal to, or greater than such Lender’s Pro Rata
Share of the Advances, Swing Loans, and Protective Advances as of a Settlement Date, Agent
shall, as part of the relevant Settlement, apply to such balance the portion of payments actually
received in good funds by Agent with respect to principal, interest, fees payable by Borrowers
and allocable to Lenders hereunder, and proceeds of Collateral.
Between Settlement Dates, Agent, to the extent Protective(iii)
Advances or Swing Loans are outstanding, may pay over to Lenders or Swing Line Lender, as
applicable, any Collections or payments received by Agent, that in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement would be applied to the reduction of the Advances, for application to the
Protective Advances or Swing Loans. Between Settlement Dates, Agent, to the extent no
Protective Advances or Swing Loans are outstanding, may pay over to Swing Line Lender any
Collections or payments received by Agent, that in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
would be applied to the reduction of the Advances, for application to Swing Line Lender’s Pro
Rata Share of the Advances. If, as of any Settlement Date, Collections or payments of Parent or
its Subsidiaries received since the then immediately preceding Settlement Date have been applied
to Swing Line Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Advances other than to Swing Loans, as provided
for in the previous sentence, Swing Line Lender shall pay to Agent for the accounts of the
Lenders, and Agent shall pay to the Lenders (other than a Defaulting Lender if Agent has
implemented the provisions of Section 2.3(g) to be applied to the outstanding Advances of such
Lenders, an amount such that each such Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have, as of
such Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Advances. During the period between Settlement
Dates, Swing Line Lender with respect to Swing Loans, Agent with respect to Protective
Advances, and each Lender (subject to the effect of agreements between Agent and individual
Lenders) with respect to the Advances other than Swing Loans and Protective Advances, shall be
entitled to interest at the applicable rate or rates payable under this Agreement on the daily
amount of funds employed by Swing Line Lender, Agent, or Lenders, as applicable.
9
Anything in this Section 2.3(e) to the contrary notwithstanding, in(iv)
the event that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, Agent shall be entitled to refrain from remitting
settlement amounts to the Defaulting Lender and, instead, shall be entitled to elect to implement
the provisions set forth in Section 2.3(g).
Notation. Agent, as a non-fiduciary agent for Borrowers, shall maintain a(f)
register showing the principal amount of the Advances (and portion of the Term Loan, as
applicable), owing to each Lender, including the Swing Loans owing to Swing Line Lender, and
Protective Advances owing to Agent, and the interests therein of each Lender, from time to time
and such register shall, absent manifest error, conclusively be presumed to be correct and
accurate.
Defaulting Lenders. Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a(g)
Defaulting Lender any payments made by a Borrower to Agent for the Defaulting Lender’s
benefit, whether with respect to the Term Loan, Advances, fees, or any Collections or proceeds
of Collateral that would otherwise be remitted hereunder to the Defaulting Lender, nor shall a
Defaulting Lender be entitled to the sharing of any payments hereunder (including any fees or
lender expense reimbursements) and, in the absence of such transfer to the Defaulting Lender,
Agent shall transfer any such payments (i) first to Swing Line Lender to the extent of any Swing
Loans that were made by Swing Line Lender and that were required to be, but were not, repaid by
the Defaulting Lender, (ii) second, to the Issuing Lender, to the extent of the portion of a Letter
of Credit Disbursement that was required to be, but was not, repaid by the Defaulting Lender,
(iii) third to each non-Defaulting Lender ratably in accordance with their Commitments and/or
Term Loan Exposure, as applicable, (but, in each case, only to the extent that such Defaulting
Lender’s portion of an Advance (or other funding obligation) was funded by such other
non-Defaulting Lender), (iv) to a suspense account maintained by Agent, the proceeds of which
shall be retained by Agent and may be made available to be re-advanced to or for the benefit of
Borrowers as if such Defaulting Lender had made its portion of Advances (or other funding
obligations) hereunder, and (v) from and after the date on which all other Obligations have been
paid in full, to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with tier (L) of Section 2.4(b)(ii). Subject
to the foregoing, Agent may hold and, in its Permitted Discretion, re-lend to Borrowers for the
account of such Defaulting Lender the amount of all such payments received and retained by
Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender. Solely for the purposes of voting or consenting
to matters with respect to the Loan Documents (including the calculation of Pro Rata Share in
connection therewith) and for the purpose of calculating the fee payable under Section 2.10(b) or
any similar fees, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender” and such Lender’s
Commitments and/or Term Loan Exposure, as applicable, shall be deemed to be zero. The
provisions of this Section 2.3(g) shall remain effective with respect to such Defaulting Lender
from the time such Lender qualified as a Defaulting Lender until the earlier of (A) the date on
which the non-Defaulting Lenders, Agent, and Borrowers shall have waived, in writing, the
application of this Section 2.3(n) to such Defaulting Lender, or (B) the date on which such
Defaulting Lender makes payment of all amounts that it was obligated to fund hereunder, pays to
Agent all amounts owing by Defaulting Lender in respect of the amounts that it was obligated to
fund hereunder, and, if requested by Agent, provides adequate assurance of its ability to perform
its future obligations hereunder (the “Defaulting Lender Period”). The operation of this Section
2.3(g) shall not be construed to increase or otherwise affect the Commitment of any Lender, to
relieve or excuse the performance by such Defaulting Lender or any other Lender of its duties
10
and obligations hereunder, or to relieve or excuse the performance by Borrowers of their duties
and obligations hereunder to Agent or to the Lenders other than such Defaulting Lender. The
occurrence of any event that causes a Lender to be classified as a Defaulting Lender hereunder
shall constitute a material breach by such Defaulting Lender of this Agreement and shall entitle
Borrowers, at their option, upon written notice by Administrative Borrower to Agent, to arrange
for one or more Eligible Transferees to assume the Commitments and/or Term Loan Exposure, as
applicable, of such Defaulting Lender. In connection with the arrangement of such a substitute
Lenders, the Defaulting Lender shall have no right to refuse to be replaced hereunder, and agrees
to execute and deliver a completed form of Assignment and Acceptance in favor of the substitute
Lenders (and agrees that it shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such document if it
fails to do so) subject only to being repaid its share of the outstanding Obligations (other than
Bank Product Obligations, but including (1) all interest, fees, and other amounts that may be due
and payable in respect thereof, and (2) an assumption of its Pro Rata Share of the Letters of
Credit); provided however that any such assumption of the Commitments and/or Tern Loan
Exposure, as applicable, of such Defaulting Lender shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of
any of the Lender Groups’ or Borrowers’ rights or remedies against any such Defaulting Lender
arising out of or in relation to the conditions causing it to be classified as a Defaulting Lender.
Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, so long as any Lender is a Defaulting
Lender, the Swing Line Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Loan and the Letter of
Credit Issuer shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, in each case,
to the extent (x) the Defaulting Lender’s Applicable Percentage (as hereinafter defined) of such
Swing Loans or Letter of Credit is not reallocated in accordance with the terms hereof or (y) the
Swing Line Lender or Letter of Credit Issuer, as applicable, has not otherwise entered into
arrangements satisfactory to it and Borrowers to eliminate the Swing Line Lender or Letter of
Credit Issuer’s risk with respect to the Defaulting Lender’s participation in Swing Loans or
Letters of Credit. For purposes of this Section 2.3(g) “Applicable Percentage” shall mean, with
respect to any Advances Lender, with respect to Advances and Letters of Credit, a percentage
equal to a fraction the numerator of which is such Lender’s Advances Commitment and the
denominator of which is the sum of all Advances Commitments. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any claim or cause of action against Borrower,
Agent or any other Lender for Defaulting Lender’s share of any Lender Group Expenses or any
matters set forth in Section 10.3 arising during a Defaulting Lender Period. In the event of a
direct conflict between the priority provisions of this Section 2.3(g) and any other provision
contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it is the intention of the parties hereto
that such provisions be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert
with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as
aforesaid, the terms and provisions of this Section 2.3(g) shall control and govern.
Lenders’ Failure to Perform. All Advances (other than Swing Loans(h)
and Protective Advances) shall be made by Lenders contemporaneously and in accordance with
their Pro Rata Shares. It is understood that (i) no Lender shall be responsible for any failure by
any other Lender to perform its obligation to make any Advance (or other extension of credit)
hereunder, nor shall any Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of any
failure by any other Lender to perform its obligations hereunder, and (ii) no failure by any Lender
to perform its obligations hereunder shall excuse any other Lender from its obligations
hereunder.
11
Payments; Increase of Maximum Revolver Amount; Prepayments.2.4
Payments by Borrowers.(a)
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by(i)
Borrowers shall be made to Agent’s Account for the account of the Lender Group and shall be
made in immediately available funds, no later than 12:00 noon on the date specified herein. Any
payment received by Agent later than 12:00 noon shall be deemed to have been received on the
following Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue until such
following Business Day.
Unless Agent receives notice from Borrowers prior to the date on(ii)
which any payment is due to Lenders that Borrowers will not make such payment in full as and
when required, Agent may assume that Borrowers have made (or will make) such payment in full
to Agent on such date in immediately available fluids and Agent may (but shall not be so
required), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to each Lender on such due date an
amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent Borrowers do not make
such payment in full to Agent on the date when due, each Lender severally shall repay to Agent
on demand such amount distributed to such Lender, together with interest thereon at the
Defaulting Lender Rate for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender
until the date repaid.
Apportionment and Application.(b)
So long as no Application Event has occurred and is continuing(i)
and except as otherwise provided with respect to Defaulting Lenders, all principal and interest
payments shall be apportioned ratably among Lenders (according to the unpaid principal balance
of the Obligations to which such payments relate held by each Lender) and all payments of fees
and expenses (other than fees or expenses that are for Agent’s separate account) shall be
apportioned ratably among Lenders having a Pro Rata Share of the type of Commitment or
Obligation to which a particular fee or expense relates. All payments to be made hereunder by
Borrowers shall be remitted to Agent and all (subject to Section 2.4(b)(iv), and Section 2.4(f))
such payments, and all proceeds of Collateral received by Agent, shall be applied, so long as no
Application Event has occurred and is continuing, to reduce the balance of the Advances and/or
Term Loans outstanding, in each case in accordance with the terms hereof and, thereafter, to
Borrowers (to be wired to the Designated Account) or such other Person entitled thereto under
applicable law.
At any time that an Application Event has occurred and is(ii)
continuing and except as otherwise provided with respect to Defaulting Lenders, all payments
remitted to Agent and all proceeds of Collateral received by Agent shall be applied as follows:
first, to pay any Lender Group Expenses (including cost or(A)
expense reimbursements) or indemnities then due to Agent under the Loan Documents, until paid
in full,
12
second, to pay any fees or premiums then due to Agent(B)
under the Loan Documents until paid in full,

Advances until paid in full,
fourth, to pay the principal of all Protective Advances until(D)
paid in full,
fifth, ratably to pay any Lender Group Expenses (including(E)
cost or expense reimbursements) or indemnities then due to any of Lenders under the Loan

tenth, ratably (1) to pay the principal of all Advances until(J)
paid in full and (2) to Agent, to be held by Agent, for the benefit of Issuing Lender (and for the
ratable benefit of each of the Lenders that have an obligation to pay to Agent, for the account of
the Issuing Lender, a share of each Letter of Credit Disbursement), as cash collateral in an
amount up to one hundred five (105%) percent of the Letter of Credit Usage (to the extent
permitted by applicable law, such cash collateral shall be applied to the reimbursement of any
Letter of Credit Disbursement as and when such disbursement occurs and, if a Letter of Credit
expires undrawn, the cash collateral held by Agent in respect of such Letter of Credit shall, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, be reapplied pursuant to this Section 2.4(b)(ii), beginning
with tier (A) hereof),
eleventh, ratably, to the Bank Product Providers based upon(K)
amounts then certified by the applicable Bank Product Provider to Agent (in form and substance
satisfactory to Agent) to be due and payable to such Bank Product Providers on account of Hedge
Agreements to the extent of Bank Product Reserves with respect thereto maintained by
Co-Collateral Agents in accordance herewith,
twelfth to pay any other Obligations other than principal(L)
and interest in respect of the Term Loan and Bank Product Obligations in excess of Bank Product
Reserves, and Obligations owed to Defaulting Lenders (including being paid, ratably, to the Bank
Product Providers on account of all amounts then due and payable in respect of other Bank
Product Obligations to the extent of Bank Product Reserves with respect thereto maintained by
Co-Collateral Agents in accordance herewith, with any balance to be paid to Agent, to be held by
Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Bank Product Providers, as cash collateral (which cash
collateral may be released by Agent to the applicable Bank Product Provider and applied by such
13
Bank Product Provider to the payment or reimbursement of any amounts due and payable with
respect to Bank Product Obligations owed to the applicable Bank Product Provider as and when
such amounts first become due and payable and, if and at such time as all such Bank Product
Obligations are paid or otherwise satisfied in full, the cash collateral held by Agent in respect of
such Bank Product Obligations shall be reapplied pursuant to this Section 2.4(b)(ii), beginning
with tier (A) hereof)),
thirteenth ratably, to pay interest accrued in respect of the(M)
Term Loan,
fourteenth, to pay the principal of the Term Loan until paid(N)
in
fifteenth to pay to the Bank Product Providers on account(O)
of all other amounts then due and payable in respect of other Bank Product Obligations to the
extent in excess of Bank Product Reserves with respect thereto maintained by Co-Collateral
Agents in accordance herewith or not subject to any reserves hereunder, in each case not to
exceed any then remaining value of the Collateral,
sixteenth ratably to pay any Obligations owed to Defaulting(P)
Lenders; and
seventeenth, to Borrower (to be wired to the Designated(Q)
Account) or such other Person entitled thereto under applicable law.
Agent promptly shall distribute to each Lender, pursuant to the(iii)
applicable wire instructions received from each Lender in writing, such funds as it may be
entitled to receive, subject to a Settlement delay as provided in Section 2.3(e).
In each instance, so long as no Application Event has occurred and(iv)
is continuing, Section 2.4(b)(i) shall not apply to any payment made by Borrower to Agent and
specified by Borrower to be for the payment of specific Obligations then due and payable (or
prepayable) under any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
For purposes of Section 2.4(b)(ii), “paid in full” of a type of(v)
Obligation means payment in cash or immediately available funds of all amounts owing on
account of such type of Obligation, including interest accrued after the commencement of any
Insolvency Proceeding, default interest, interest on interest, and expense reimbursements,
irrespective of whether or not any of the foregoing would be or is allowed or disallowed in whole
or in part in any Insolvency Proceeding.
In the event of a direct conflict between the priority provisions of(vi)
this Section 2.4 and any other provision contained in this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such provisions be read together and
construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any
actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, if the conflict relates to the
provisions of Section 2.3(g) or this Section 2.4 then the provisions of Section 2.3(g) shall control
14
and govern, and if otherwise, then the terms and provisions of this Section 2.4 shall control and
govern.
Increase in Maximum Revolver Amount.(c)
Administrative Borrower may, at any time that a Triggering Event(i)
does not exist, deliver a written request to Agent to increase the Maximum Revolver Amount.
Any such written request shall specify the amount of the increase in the Maximum Revolver
Amount that Borrowers are requesting; provided that, (A) in no event shall the aggregate amount
of any such increase in the Maximum Revolver Amount cause the Maximum Revolver Amount
to exceed $875,000,000,725,000,000, (B) such request shall be for an increase of not less than
$50,000,000, (C) any such request shall be irrevocable, and (D) in no event shall the Maximum
Revolver Amount be increased more than four (4) times during the term hereof.
Upon the receipt by Agent of any such written request, Agent shall(ii)
notify each Advances Lender and such other Eligible Transferees as designated by
Administrative Borrower that are reasonably acceptable to Agent (each an “Alternative Lender”)
of such request and each Advances Lender and Alternative Lender shall have the option (but not
the obligation) to increase the amount of its Advances Commitment or purchase an Advances
Commitment, as applicable, by an amount (in the case of Advances Lenders) up to its Pro Rata
Share of the amount of the increase in the Maximum Revolver Amount requested by
Administrative Borrower as set forth in the notice from Agent to such Lender. Each Advances
Lender and Alternative Lender shall notify Agent within fifteen (15) Business Days after the
receipt of such notice from Agent whether it is willing to increase or purchase an Advances
Commitment, and if so, the amount of such increase; provided that (A) the minimum increase in
the Advances Commitments of each existing Advances Lender providing the additional
Advances Commitments shall equal or exceed $1,000,000, and the minimum Advances
Commitment of any lender not yet a Lender hereunder shall be $10,000,000, and (B) no Lender
shall be obligated to provide such increase in its Commitment and the determination to increase
the Advances Commitment of an Advances Lender shall be within the sole and absolute
discretion of such Lender. If the sum of the aggregate amount of the increases in the Advances
Commitments and the purchases of new Commitments received from Advances Lenders and
Alternative Lenders does not equal or exceed the amount of the increase in the Maximum
Revolver Amount requested by Administrative Borrower, Agent may seek additional increases
from Lenders or Advances Commitments from such other Eligible Transferees as it may
determine, after consultation with Administrative Borrower. In the event Advances Lenders (or
Lenders and any Alternative Lenders or other Eligible Transferees, as the case may be) have
committed in writing to provide increases in their Advances Commitments or new Advances
Commitments in an aggregate amount in excess of the increase in the Maximum Revolver
Amount requested by Borrowers or permitted hereunder, Agent shall then have the right to
allocate such commitments to Advances Lenders, Alternative Lenders or other Eligible
Transferees, in such amounts and manner as Agent may determine, after consultation with
Administrative Borrower and such excess amount or a portion thereof may be added to the
increase in the Maximum Revolver Amount if Administrative Borrower so elects, subject to the
revised approval of each Advances Lender then committed to provide an increase in its Advances
Commitment.
15
The Maximum Revolver Amount shall be increased by the amount(iii)
of the increase in Advances Commitments from Lenders or new Advances Commitments from
Alternative Lenders or other Eligible Transferees, in each case selected in accordance with
Section 2.4(c)(ii) above, for which Agent has received Assignment and Acceptances thirty (30)
days after the date of the request by Administrative Borrower for the increase or such earlier date
as Agent and Administrative Borrower may agree (but subject to the satisfaction of the
conditions set forth below), whether or not the aggregate amount of the increase in Advances
Commitments and new Advances Commitments, as the case may be, equal or exceed the amount
of the increase in the Maximum Revolver Amount requested by Administrative Borrower in
accordance with the terms hereof, effective on the date that each of the following conditions have
been satisfied:
Agent shall have received from each Lender, Alternative(A)
Lenders or other Eligible Transferee that is providing an additional Advances Commitment as
part of the increase in the Maximum Revolver Amount, an Assignment and Acceptance duly
executed by such Lender, Alternative Lender or Eligible Transferee and each Borrower;
the conditions precedent to the making of Advances set(B)
forth on Schedule 3.1 hereto (other than clauses (h) and (i) thereof) shall be satisfied as of the
date of the increase in the Maximum Revolver Amount, both before and after giving effect to
such increase;
Agent shall have received an opinion of counsel to(C)
Borrowers in form and substance and from counsel reasonably satisfactory to Agent and
Advances Lenders addressing such matters as Agent may reasonably request (including an
opinion as to no conflicts with other Indebtedness);
such increase in the Maximum Revolver Amount on the(D)
date of the effectiveness thereof shall not violate any applicable law, regulation or order or decree
of any court or other Governmental Authority and shall not be enjoined, temporarily,
preliminarily or permanently;
there shall have been paid to each Lender, Alternative(E)
Lender or other Eligible Transferee providing an additional Advances Commitment in
connection with such increase in the Maximum Revolver Amount all fees and expenses due and
payable to such Person on or before the effectiveness of such increase; and
there shall have been paid to Agent, for the account of the(F)
Agent and Advances Lenders (in accordance with any agreement among them) all fees and
expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) due and payable pursuant to any of
the Loan Documents on or before the effectiveness of such increase.
As of the effective date of any such increase in the Maximum(iv)
Revolver Amount, (A) each reference to the term Maximum Revolver Amount herein, and in any
of the other Loan Documents shall be deemed amended to mean the amount of the Maximum
Revolver Amount specified in the most recent written notice from Agent to Administrative
Borrower of the increase in the Maximum Revolver Amount, (B) each reference to the term
16
Availability herein, and in any of the other Loan Documents shall be deemed amended so that the
ratio of the Availability to the Maximum Revolver Amount as so increased remains the same as
prior to such increase, (C) the references to “$10,000,000”, “$16,500,000” and “$20,000,000” in
the definition of Borrowing Base (as such amounts may be adjusted from time to time in
accordance with Section 2.4 (c)(iv)(C) and Section 2.4(d)(v)(C)) shall be adjusted to bear the
same relationship to the Maximum Revolver Amount as increased as each had borne to the
Maximum Revolver Amount prior to such increase, (D) the sublimit with respect to
SwinglineSwing Loans shall be deemed automatically increased so that the ratio of the amount of
the sublimit of SwinglineSwing Loans to the Maximum Revolver Amount remains the same as
prior to such increase, and (E) Borrowers shall have the option to request an increase in the
sublimit applicable to Letters of Credit to such amount as may be agreed with Co-Collateral
Agents.
Decrease in Maximum Revolver Amount.(d)
The Advances Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.(i)
Administrative Borrower may, at any time, deliver a written request to Agent to decrease the
Maximum Revolver Amount. Any such written request shall specify the amount of the decrease
in the Maximum Revolver Amount that Administrative Borrower is requesting and the effective
date of such decrease (which date shall not be less than five (5) nor more than ten (10) Business
Days after the date of such request); provided that, except pursuant to a Defaulting Lender Credit
Decrease pursuant to Section 2.4(d)(iv) below, (A) in no event shall the aggregate amount of any
such decrease cause the Maximum Revolver Amount to be less than $300,000,000, (B) any such
request for a decrease shall be for an amount of not less than $25,000,000, (C) any such request
shall be irrevocable (except that not less than six (6) months after the delivery of any such
request, Administrative Borrower may, to the extent otherwise permitted under Section 2.4(c),
request an increase in the Maximum Revolver Amount), (D) in no event shall more than one
such written request for a decrease be delivered to Agent in any calendar quarter nor more than
four such requests during the term of this Agreement, and (E) no Default or Event of Default
shall exist or have occurred and be continuing.
Upon the receipt by Agent of a written request to decrease the(ii)
Maximum Revolver Amount, Agent shall notify each of the Advances Lenders of such request
and, subject to the terms of Section 2.4(d)(iii) hereof, the Advances Commitment of each
Advances Lender shall be decreased on the date requested by Administrative Borrower by an
amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of the decrease in the Maximum
Revolver Amount requested by Administrative Borrower as set forth in the notice from Agent to
such Lender.
In the event of a request to decrease the Maximum Revolver(iii)
Amount, the Maximum Revolver Amount shall be decreased by the amount of the decrease in
Maximum Revolver Amount requested by Borrower Agent in accordance with the terms hereof;
provided, that after giving effect to such decrease, the Maximum Revolver Amount shall not be
less than the aggregate principal amount of the LoansAdvances, Overadvances and Letters of
Credit outstanding at such time.
17
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein,(iv)
Administrative Borrower may deliver a written request to Agent to decrease the Maximum
Revolver Amount in an amount equal to the Advances Commitment of any Defaulting Lender
(the “Defaulting Lender Decrease”) which decrease shall be effective three (3) Business Days
following Agent’s receipt of such notice; provided, however, Administrative Borrower may not
deliver such notice if such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender. Borrowers shall pay to
Agent, for the account of such Defaulting Lender, not later than one (I) Business Day prior to the
effective date of the Defaulting Lender Decrease, such Defaulting Lender’s share of outstanding
Obligations, other than in respect of Bank Product Obligations and Lender Group Expenses (the
“Defaulting Lender Payoff Amount”). On the effective date of the Defaulting Lender Decrease,
Agent shall pay to the Defaulting Lender not later than 12:00 noon, the Defaulting Lender Payoff
Amount and, upon such payment, the Defaulting Lender shall cease to be a Lender under this
Agreement. No other Lender shall, solely as a result of such payments to such Defaulting Lender,
have a claim to any payment of Obligations other than as otherwise set forth in this Agreement
and the remaining Lenders’ Advances Commitments shall remain unchanged.
As of the effective date of any such decrease in the Maximum(v)
Revolver Amount: (A) each reference to the term Maximum Revolver Amount and Advances
Commitments herein, as applicable, and in any of the other Loan Documents shall be deemed
amended to mean the amount of the Maximum Revolver Amount and Advances Commitments
specified in the most recent written notice from Agent to Administrative Borrower of the
decrease in the Maximum Revolver Amount and Advances Commitments, as applicable, (B)
each reference to the term Maximum Revolver Amount herein, and in any of the other Loan
Documents shall be deemed amended to mean the amount of the Maximum Revolver Amount
specified in the most recent written notice from Agent to Administrative Borrower of the
decrease in the Maximum Revolver Amount, (C) the references to “$10,000,000”, “$16,500,000”
and “$20,000,000” in the definition of Borrowing Base (as such amounts may be adjusted from
time to time in accordance with Section 2.4(c)(iv)(C) and Section 2.4(d)(v)(C)) shall be adjusted
to bear the same relationship to the Maximum Revolver Amount as decreased as each had borne
to the Maximum Revolver Amount prior to such decrease, and (D) each reference to the term
Availability herein, and in any of the other Loan Documents shall be deemed amended so that the
ratio of the Availability to the Maximum Revolver Amount as so increased remains the same as
prior to such decrease.
The Term Loan Commitments shall terminate upon the first to (vi)
occur of (a) the making of the Term Loan and (b) June 1, 2014.on the First Amendment Effective
Date.
Optional Prepayments.(e)
Borrowers may prepay the principal of any Advance at any time in(i)
whole or in part, without premium or penalty.
Borrowers may, upon at least ten (10) Business Days prior written (ii)
notice to Agent, prepay the principal of the Term Loan, in whole or in part; provided that: (A) the
sole source of such payment by Borrowers is capital contributions by Holdings to Parent (which
capital contributions are substantially contemporaneously further contributed to Borrowers as a
18
capital contribution) designated and made for such purpose and made within ten (10) days prior
to such payment, and (B) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or
would result therefrom. Each prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.4(e)(ii) shall be
accompanied by the payment of accrued interest to the date of such payment on the amount
prepaid. Each such prepayment shall be applied against the remaining installments of principal
due on the Term Loan in the inverse order of maturity (for the avoidance of doubt, any amount
that is due and payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date shall constitute an installment).
(ii) In addition to prepayments in respect of the Term Loan (iii)
permitted by clause (ii) above, Borrowers may, upon at least 10 Business Days prior written
notice to Agent, prepay the principal of the Term Loan, in whole or in part; provided, that: (A)(1)
Excess Availability for the five (5) consecutive Business Day period immediately preceding any
such prepayment and after giving effect thereto shall be greater than thirty (30%) percent of the
Loan Limit, (B) the average of the daily Excess Availability for the sixty-five (65) consecutive
day period immediately preceding any such prepayment and after giving effect thereto shall be
greater than thirty (30%) percent of the Loan Limit, and (C) not less than five (5) Business days
prior to any such prepayment, Borrowers shall have delivered to Agent projections, in form and
substance satisfactory to Agent, with respect to the first two full fiscal month period that will
immediately follow such prepayment if made, which shall project that the average of the daily
Excess Availability for such two fiscal month period shall be not less than thirty (30%) percent
of the Loan Limit. Each prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.4(e)(iiiii) shall be
accompanied by the payment of accrued interest to the date of such payment on the amount
prepaid. Each such prepayment shall be applied against the remaining installments of principal
due on the Term Loan in the inverse order of maturity (for the avoidance of doubt, any amount
that is due and payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date shall constitute an installment).
Mandatory Prepayments.(f)
Borrowing BaseLoan Limit. At no time shall the Advances (i)
Usage exceed the Loan Limit. If, at any time, (A) the Advances Usage on such date exceeds (B)
the Borrowing BaseLoan Limit (such excess being referred to as the “Borrowing Base Revolver
Excess”) then Borrowers shall promptly, but in any event, within 1 Business Day prepay the
Obligations in accordance with Section 2.4(g)(i) in an aggregate amount equal to the Borrowing
BaseRevolver Excess.
Dispositions. Within one (1) Business Day of the date of receipt(ii)
by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries of the Net Cash Proceeds of any voluntary or involuntary sale
or disposition by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries of assets (including casualty losses or
condemnations, but excluding sales or dispositions which qualify as Permitted Dispositions
under clauses (a), (b), (c), or (d), (m) or, (o) or (p) of the definition of Permitted Dispositions),
Borrowers shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations in accordance with
Section 2.4(g)(ii) in an amount equal to one hundred (100%) percent of such Net Cash Proceeds
(including condemnation awards and payments in lieu thereof) received by such Person in
connection with such sales or dispositions. To the extent that the amount of such Net Cash
Proceeds exceeds the Obligations, if no Default or Event of Default exists or has occurred and is
continuing, Agent shall credit such excess to the investment account, Deposit Account or
Securities Account in which Qualified Cash of Borrowers is then being maintained. Nothing

incurrence by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries of any Indebtedness (other than Permitted

Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied by Agent to prepay the outstanding principal amount of the
Obligations in accordance with Section 2.4(g)(ii). The provisions of this Section 2.4(f)(iv) shall
not be deemed to be implied consent to any such incurrence otherwise prohibited by the terms
and conditions of this Agreement.
Equity. Within one (1) Business Day of the date of the issuance by(v)
Parent or any of its Subsidiaries of any shares of its or their Equity Interest (other than (A) in the

due and payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date shall constitute an installment)). To the extent
20
that the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds exceeds the Obligations, if no Default or Event of
Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, Agent shall credit such excess to the investment
account, Deposit Account or Securities Account in which Qualified Cash of Borrowers is then

of Credit Usage, and (b) providing Bank Product Collateralization with respect to the then
existing Bank Products), in full, at which time this Agreement and the Commitments hereunder
shall be deemed terminated.

no Application Event shall have occurred and be continuing, be applied, first, to the outstanding
principal amount of the Advances until paid in full, and second, to cash collateralize the Letters
of Credit in an amount equal to one hundred five (105%) percent of the remaining Borrowing

To the extent applied in respect of the Term Loan, each such prepayment shall be applied against
21
the remaining installments of principal due thereon in inverse order of maturity (for the
avoidance of doubt, any amount that is due and payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date shall
constitute an installment).
At any time that a Borrowing BaseRevolver Excess as referred to(iii)
in this Section 2.4(g)(i) and (ii) above no longer exists, at the request of Administrative
Borrower, Agent shall transfer to the investment account, Deposit Account or Securities Account
in which the Qualified Cash of Borrowers is then being maintained, the amount of cash collateral
that had been held as cash collateral under Section 2.4(g)(i) and (ii): provided, that, after giving
effect to such transfer, no Borrowing BaseRevolver Excess will exist.

by Borrowers to the Lender Group pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.11 is greater than any of
the limitations set forth in Section 2.1 or Section 2.11, as applicable (an “Overadvance”)
Borrowers shall promptly, but in any event, within one (1) Business Day of the initial occurrence
of an Overadvance pay to Agent, in cash, the amount of such excess, which amount shall be used
by Agent to reduce the Obligations in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 2.4(b)
provided however that in the case of an Overadvance that is caused solely as a result of the
charging by Agent of Lender Group Expenses to the Loan Account, Borrowers shall have three
(3) Business Days from the date of the initial occurrence of such Overadvance to pay to Agent, in
cash, the amount of such excess (which period of three (3) Business Days shall in no event be
duplicative of the three (3) Business Days period referenced in Section 8.1(a) of this Agreement).
Borrowers promise to pay the Obligations (including principal, interest, fees, costs, and
expenses) in Dollars in full on the Maturity Date or, if earlier, on the date on which the
Obligations are declared due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
Interest Rates and Letter of Credit Fee: Rates, Payments, and Calculations.2.6
Interest Rates. Except as provided in Section 2.6(c), all Obligations(a)
(except for undrawn Letters of Credit) that have been charged to the Loan Account pursuant to
the terms hereof shall bear interest on the Daily Balance thereof as follows:
if the relevant Obligation is a LIBOR Rate Loan (other than a Term(i)
Loan), at a per annum rate equal to the LIBOR Rate plus the LIBOR Rate Margin,
if the relevant Obligation is the Term Loan, at a per annum rate(ii)
equal to the LIBOR Rate applicable to LIBOR contracts for a period of one-month duration plus
three and three-quarters percentage points (3.75%) or, to the extent any such LIBOR contract is
not renewed with respect to the Term Loan, the Base Rate plus two and three-quarters percentage
points (2.75%), and
otherwise, at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Base(iii)
Rate Margin.
Letter of Credit Fee. Borrowers shall pay Agent (for the ratable benefit(b)
of Lenders with an Advances Commitment, subject to any agreements between Agent and
individual Lenders), a Letter of Credit fee (in addition to the charges, commissions, fees, and
22
costs set forth in Section 2.11(e)) which shall accrue at a per annum rate equal to the LIBOR
Rate Margin times the Daily Balance of the undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit.
Default Rate. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an(c)
Event of Default and at the election of the Required Lenders,
all Obligations (except for undrawn Letters of Credit and except(i)
for Bank Product Obligations) that have been charged to the Loan Account pursuant to the terms
hereof shall bear interest on the Daily Balance thereof at a per annum rate equal to two (2)
percentage points above the per annum rate otherwise applicable hereunder, and
the Letter of Credit fee provided for in Section 2.6(b) shall be(ii)
increased to two (2) percentage points above the per annum rate otherwise applicable hereunder.
Payment. Except to the extent provided to the contrary in Section 2.10 or(d)
Section 2.12(a), interest, Letter of Credit fees, all other fees payable hereunder or under any of
the other Loan Documents, and all costs, expenses, and Lender Group Expenses payable
hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall be due and payable, in arrears, on the
first (1st) day of each calendar quarter at any time that Obligations or Commitments are
outstanding. Borrowers hereby authorize Agent, from time to time without prior notice to
Borrowers, to charge all interest, Letter of Credit fees, and all other fees payable hereunder or
under any of the other Loan Documents (in each case, as and when due and payable), all costs,
expenses, and Lender Group Expenses payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan
Documents (in each case, as and when incurred), all charges, commissions, fees, and costs
provided for in Section 2.11(e) (as and when accrued or incurred), all fees and costs provided for
in Section 2.10 (as and when accrued or incurred), and all other payments as and when due and
payable under any Loan Document (including any amounts due and payable to the Bank Product
Providers in respect of Bank Products up to the amount of the Bank Product Reserve) to the Loan
Account, which amounts thereafter shall constitute Advances hereunder and shall accrue interest
at the rate then applicable to Advances that are Base Rate Loans. Any interest, fees, costs,
expenses, Lender Group Expenses, or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan
Document not paid when due shall be compounded by being charged to the Loan Account and
shall, to the extent so charged to the Loan Account, constitute Advances hereunder and shall
accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Advances that are Base Rate Loans (unless and until
converted into LIBOR Rate Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement).
Computation. All interest and fees chargeable under the Loan(e)
Documents shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year, in each case, for the actual number
of days elapsed in the period during which the interest or fees accrue (or 365/366 days, in the
case of Base Rate Loans). In the event the Base Rate is changed from time to time hereafter, the
rates of interest hereunder based upon the Base Rate automatically and immediately shall be
increased or decreased by an amount equal to such change in the Base Rate.
Intent to Limit Charges to Maximum Lawful Rate. In no event shall(f)
the interest rate or rates payable under this Agreement, plus any other amounts paid in connection
herewith, exceed the highest rate permissible under any law that a court of competent jurisdiction
shall, in a final determination, deem applicable. Borrowers and the Lender Group, in executing
23
and delivering this Agreement, intend legally to agree upon the rate or rates of interest and
manner of payment stated within it; provided however, that anything contained herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, if said rate or rates of interest or manner of payment exceeds the
maximum allowable under applicable law, then, ipso facto, as of the date of this
AgreementClosing Date, Borrowers are and shall be liable only for the payment of such
maximum as allowed by law, and payment received from Borrowers in excess of such legal
maximum, whenever received, shall be applied to reduce the principal balance of the Obligations
to the extent of such excess.
Crediting Payments; Clearance Charge. The receipt of any payment item by2.7
Agent shall not be considered a payment on account unless such payment item is a wire transfer
of immediately available federal funds made to Agent’s Account or unless and until such
payment item is honored when presented for payment. Should any payment item not be honored
when presented for payment, then Borrowers shall be deemed not to have made such payment
and interest shall be calculated accordingly. Anything to the contrary contained herein
notwithstanding, any payment item shall be deemed received by Agent only if it is received into
Agent’s Account on a Business Day on or before 12:00 noon. If any payment item is received
into Agent’s Account on a non-Business Day or after 12:00 noon on a Business Day, it shall be
deemed to have been received by Agent as of the opening of business on the immediately
following Business Day.
Designated Account. Agent is authorized to make the Advances and the Term2.8
Loan, and Issuing Lender is authorized to issue the Letters of Credit, under this Agreement based
upon written instructions received from anyone purporting to be an Authorized Person or,
without instructions, if pursuant to Section 2.6(d), Borrowers agree to establish and maintain the
Designated Account with the Designated Account Bank for the purpose of receiving the proceeds
of the Advances requested by Borrowers and made by Agent or Lenders hereunder. Unless
otherwise agreed by Agent and Borrowers, any Advance or Swing Loan requested by Borrowers
and made by Agent or Lenders hereunder shall be made to the Designated Account.
Maintenance of Loan Account; Statements of Obligations. Agent shall2.9
maintain an account on its books in the name of Borrowers (the “Loan Account”) on which
Borrowers will be charged with the Term Loan and all Advances (including Protective Advances
and Swing Loans) made by Agent, Swing Line Lender, or Lenders to Borrowers or for
Borrowers’ account, the Letters of Credit issued or made by Issuing Lender for Borrowers’
account, and with all other payment Obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents
(except for Bank Product Obligations), including, accrued interest, fees and expenses, and Lender
Group Expenses. In accordance with Section 2.7, the Loan Account will be credited with all
payments received by Agent from Borrowers or for Borrowers’ account. Agent shall render
monthly statements regarding the Loan Account to Borrowers, including the principal amount of
the Term Loan and the Advances, interest, fees, Obligations with respect to Letters of Credit and
including an itemization of all charges and expenses constituting Lender Group Expenses owing,
and such statements, absent manifest error, shall be conclusively presumed to be correct and
accurate and constitute an account stated between Borrowers and the Lender Group unless,
within forty-five (45) days after receipt thereof by Borrowers, Borrowers shall deliver to Agent
written objection thereto describing the error or errors contained in any such statements.
24
Fees. Borrowers shall pay to Agent,2.10
for the account of Agent, as and when due and payable under the terms of(a)
the Fee Letter, the fees set forth in the Fee Letter, and
for the ratable account of those Lenders with Advances Commitments, as(b)
set forth below, on the first (1st) day of each calendar quarter from and after the ClosingFirst
Amendment Effective Date and on the Payoff Date, an unused line fee in an amount equal to
three-eighths of one percent (.375%) (on a per annum basis) timesthe Unused Fee Percentage
multiplied by the result of (i) the Maximum Revolver Amount, less (ii) the average Daily
Balance of the Advances Usage (excluding Swing Loans) during the immediately preceding
calendar quarter (or portion thereof), and
(c) for the ratable account of those Lenders with Term Loan Commitments, as
set forth below, on the first (1st) day of each calendar quarter from and after the Closing Date and
on the Term Loan Draw Date, a fee, paid in arrears, in the amount of one and one-half (1.50%)
percent (on a per annum basis) times the Term Loan Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
the event the Administrative Borrower shall, prior to the Term Loan Draw Date, so notify Agent
in writing not later than April 30, 2014, Administrative Borrower may elect to terminate the
Term Loan Commitments, which election shall be irrevocable when made. Upon such election,
the Term Loan Commitments automatically shall be reduced to zero and the fee referred to in this
Section 2.10(c) shall cease to accrue.
Letters of Credit.2.11
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, upon the request of(a)
Borrowers made in accordance herewith, the Issuing Lender agrees to issue, or to cause an
Underlying Issuer, as Issuing Lender’s agent, to issue, a requested Letter of Credit. If Issuing
Lender, at its option, elects to cause an Underlying Issuer to issue a requested Letter of Credit,
then Issuing Lender agrees that it will obligate itself to reimburse such Underlying Issuer (which
may include, among, other means, by becoming an applicant with respect to such Letter of Credit
or entering into undertakings which provide for reimbursements of such Underlying Issuer with
respect to such Letter of Credit; each such obligation or undertaking, irrespective of whether in
writing, a “Reimbursement Undertaking”) with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such
Underlying Issuer. By submitting a request to Issuing Lender for the issuance of a Letter of
Credit, Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested that Issuing Lender issue or that an
Underlying Issuer issue the requested Letter of Credit and to have requested Issuing Lender to
issue a Reimbursement Undertaking with respect to such requested Letter of Credit if it is to be
issued by an Underlying Issuer (it being expressly acknowledged and agreed by Borrowers that
Borrowers are and shall each be deemed to be an applicant (within the meaning of Section
5-102(a)(2) of the Code) with respect to each Underlying Letter of Credit). Each request for the
issuance of a Letter of Credit, or the amendment, renewal, or extension of any outstanding Letter
of Credit, shall be made in writing by an Authorized Person and delivered to the Issuing Lender
via hand delivery, telefacsimile, or other electronic method of transmission reasonably in
advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension. Each such request
shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender and shall specify (i)
the amount of such Letter of Credit, (ii) the date of issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension
25
of such Letter of Credit, (iii) the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, (iv) the name and
address of the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit, and (v) such other information (including, in
the case of an amendment, renewal, or extension, identification of the Letter of Credit to be so
amended, renewed, or extended) as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew, or extend such
Letter of Credit. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Issuing Lender
may, but shall not be obligated to, issue or cause the issuance of a Letter of Credit or to issue a
Reimbursement Undertaking in respect of an Underlying Letter of Credit, in either case, that
supports the obligations of Parent or its Subsidiaries (A) in respect of (1) a lease of real property,
or (2) an employment contract. Borrowers agree that this Agreement (along with the terms of
letter of credit application in Issuing Bank’s standard form, as may be required by such Issuing
Bank) will govern each Letter of Credit and its issuance. The Issuing Lender shall have no
obligation to issue a Letter of Credit or a Reimbursement Undertaking in respect of an
Underlying Letter of Credit, in either case, if any of the following would result after giving effect
to the requested issuance:
the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed the(1)
principal amount of$550,000,000, $200,000,000, except with the prior written consent of Agent
and each Issuing Lender that has issued any then outstanding Letters of Credit, or then proposes
to issue one or more Letters of Credit that would cause the outstanding principal amount of
Letters of Credit to exceed such principal amount,
the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed the(2)
Borrowing Base less the outstanding amount of Advances, or
the Letter of Credit Usage would exceed the(3)
Maximum Revolver Amount less the outstanding amount of Advances.
Borrowers and the Lender Group hereby acknowledge and agree that all Existing Letters of
Credit shall constitute Letters of Credit under this Agreement on and after the Closing Date with
the same effect as if such Existing Letters of Credit were issued by Issuing Lender or an
Underlying Issuer at the request of Borrowers on the Closing Date. Each Letter of Credit shall be
in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Issuing Lender, including the requirement that
the amounts payable thereunder must be payable in Dollars. If Issuing Lender makes a payment
under a Letter of Credit or an Underlying Issuer makes a payment under an Underlying Letter of
Credit, Borrowers shall pay to Agent an amount equal to the applicable Letter of Credit
Disbursement on the date such Letter of Credit Disbursement is made and, in the absence of such
payment, the amount of the Letter of Credit Disbursement immediately and automatically shall
be deemed to be an Advance hereunder and, initially, shall bear interest at the rate then
applicable to Advances that are Base Rate Loans. If a Letter of Credit Disbursement is deemed to
be an Advance hereunder, Borrowers’ obligation to pay the amount of such Letter of Credit
Disbursement to Issuing Lender shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Advance.
Promptly following receipt by Agent of any payment from Borrowers pursuant to this paragraph,
Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Lender or, to the extent that Lenders have
made payments pursuant to Section 2.11(b) to reimburse the Issuing Lender, then to such
Lenders and the Issuing Lender as their interests may appear.
26
Promptly following receipt of a notice of a Letter of Credit Disbursement(b)
pursuant to Section 2.11(a), each Advances Lender agrees to fund its Pro Rata Share of any
Advance deemed made pursuant to Section 2.11(a) on the same terms and conditions as if
Borrowers had requested the amount thereof as an Advance and Agent shall promptly pay to
Issuing Lender the amounts so received by it from Lenders. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit
or a Reimbursement Undertaking (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit or a Reimbursement
Undertaking increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the
Issuing Lender or Lenders with Advances Commitments, the Issuing Lender shall be deemed to
have granted to each Advances Lender, and each Advances Lender shall be deemed to have
purchased, a participation in each Letter of Credit issued by Issuing Lender and each
Reimbursement Undertaking, in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of such Letter of Credit or
Reimbursement Undertaking, and each such Lender agrees to pay to Agent, for the account of the
Issuing Lender, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Letter of Credit Disbursement made by
Issuing Lender or an Underlying Issuer under the applicable Letter of Credit. In consideration and
in furtherance of the foregoing, each Advances Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally
agrees to pay to Agent, for the account of the Issuing Lender, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of
each Letter of Credit Disbursement made by Issuing Lender or an Underlying Issuer and not
reimbursed by Borrowers on the date due as provided in Section 2.11(a) or of any reimbursement
payment required to be refunded to Borrowers for any reason. Each Advances Lender
acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to deliver to Agent, for the account of the Issuing
Lender, an amount equal to its respective Pro Rata Share of each Letter of Credit Disbursement
pursuant to this Section 2.11(b) shall be absolute and unconditional and such remittance shall be
made notwithstanding the occurrence or continuation of an Event of Default or Default or the
failure to satisfy any condition set forth in Section 3. If any such Lender fails to make available to
Agent the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of a Letter of Credit Disbursement as
provided in this Section, such Lender shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender and Agent (for
the account of the Issuing Lender) shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such
Lender together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate until paid in full.
Borrowers hereby agree to jointly and severally indemnify, save, defend,(c)
and hold the Lender Group and each Underlying Issuer harmless from any loss, cost, expense, or
liability, and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Issuing Lender, any other member of the
Lender Group, or any Underlying Issuer arising out of or in connection with any Reimbursement
Undertaking or any Letter of Credit; provided, however that Borrowers shall not be obligated
hereunder to indemnify for any loss, cost, expense, or liability that a court of competent
jurisdiction finally determines to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of the Issuing Lender, any other member of the Lender Group, or any Underlying Issuer.
Borrowers agree to be bound by the Underlying Issuer’s regulations and interpretations of any
Letter of Credit or by Issuing Lender’s interpretations of any Reimbursement Undertaking even
though this interpretation may be different from Borrowers’ own, and Borrowers understand and
agree that none of the Issuing Lender, the Lender Group, or any Underlying Issuer shall be liable
for any error, negligence, or mistake, whether of omission or commission, in following
Borrowers’ instructions or those contained in the Letter of Credit or any modifications,
amendments, or supplements thereto. Borrowers understand that the Reimbursement
Undertakings may require Issuing Lender to indemnify the Underlying Issuer for certain costs or
liabilities arising out of claims by Borrowers against such Underlying Issuer. Borrowers hereby
agree to jointly and severally indemnify, save, defend, and hold Issuing Lender and the other
27
members of the Lender Group harmless with respect to any loss, cost, expense (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees), or liability incurred by them as a result of the Issuing Lender’s
indemnification of an Underlying Issuer; provided, however that Borrowers shall not be obligated
hereunder to indemnify for any such loss, cost, expense, or liability to the extent that it is caused
by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender or any other member of the
Lender Group. Borrowers hereby acknowledge and agree that none of the Issuing Lender, any
other member of the Lender Group, or any Underlying Issuer shall be responsible for delays,
errors, or omissions resulting from the malfunction of equipment in connection with any Letter of
Credit.
Borrowers hereby authorize and direct any Underlying Issuer to deliver to(d)
the Issuing Lender all instruments, documents, and other writings and property received by such
Underlying Issuer pursuant to such Underlying Letter of Credit and to accept and rely upon the
Issuing Lender’s instructions with respect to all matters arising in connection with such
Underlying Letter of Credit and the related application.
Any and all issuance charges, usage charges, commissions, fees, and costs(e)
incurred by the Issuing Lender relating to Underlying Letters of Credit shall be Lender Group
Expenses for purposes of this Agreement and shall be reimbursable promptly, but in any event,
within one (1) Business Day by Borrowers to Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender; it
being acknowledged and agreed by Borrowers that, as of the ClosingFirst Amendment Effective
Date, the usage charge imposed by the Underlying Issuer is one-eighth of one (.1250.125%)
percent per annum times the undrawn amount of each Underlying Letter of Credit, that such
usage charge may be changed not more frequently than quarterly by such Underlying Issuer, and
that the Underlying Issuer also imposes a schedule of charges for amendments, extensions,
drawings, and renewals.
If by reason of (i) any change after the Closing Date in any applicable law,(f)
treaty, rule, or regulation or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by any
Governmental Authority, or (ii) compliance by the Issuing Lender, any other member of the
Lender Group, or Underlying Issuer with any direction, request, or requirement (irrespective of
whether having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority or monetary authority
including, Regulation D of the Federal Reserve Board as from time to time in effect (and any
successor thereto):
any reserve, deposit, or similar requirement is or shall be(A)
imposed or modified in respect of any Letter of Credit issued or caused to be issued hereunder or
hereby, or
there shall be imposed on the Issuing Lender, any other(B)
member of the Lender Group, or Underlying Issuer any other condition regarding any Letter of
Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking,
and the result of the foregoing is to increase, directly or indirectly, the cost to the Issuing Lender,
any other member of the Lender Group, or an Underlying Issuer of issuing, making,
guaranteeing, or maintaining any Reimbursement Undertaking or Letter of Credit or to reduce the
amount receivable in respect thereof, then, and in any such case, Agent may, at any time within a
28
reasonable period after the additional cost is incurred or the amount received is reduced, notify
Borrowers, and Borrowers shall pay within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, such amounts
as Agent may specify to be necessary to compensate the Issuing Lender, any other member of the
Lender Group, or an Underlying Issuer for such additional cost or reduced receipt, together with
interest on such amount from the date of such demand until payment in full thereof at die rate
then applicable to Base Rate Loans hereunder; provided, however that Borrowers shall not be
required to provide any compensation pursuant to this Section 2.11(f) for any such amounts
incurred more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date on which the demand for
payment of such amounts is first made to Borrowers; provided further, however, that if an event
or circumstance giving rise to such amounts is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to
above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. The determination by
Agent of any amount due pursuant to this Section 2.11(f), as set forth in a certificate setting forth
the calculation thereof in reasonable detail, shall, in the absence of manifest or demonstrable
error, be final and conclusive and binding on all of the parties hereto.
LIBOR Option.2.12
Interest and Interest Payment Dates. Interest and Interest Payment(a)
Dates. In lieu of having interest charged at the rate based upon the Base Rate, Borrowers shall
have the option, subject to Section 2.12(b) below (the “LIBOR Option”) to have interest on all or
a portion of the Advances be charged or Term Loan, as applicable, whether at the time when
made (unless otherwise provided herein), upon conversion from a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR
Rate Loan (in the case of the Advances or the Term Loan) or upon continuation of a LIBOR Rate
Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan (in the case of the Advances or the Term Loan), at a rate of interest
based upon the LIBOR Rate. Interest on LIBOR Rate Loans shall be payable on the earliest of (i)
the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto; (ii) the date on which all or any portion of
the Obligations are accelerated pursuant to the terms hereof, or (iii) the date on which this
Agreement is terminated pursuant to the terms hereof. On the last day of each applicable Interest
Period, unless Administrative Borrower properly has exercised the LIBOR Option with respect
thereto, the interest rate applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan automatically shall convert to the
rate of interest then applicable to Base Rate Loans of the same type hereunder. At any time that
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing Borrowers no longer shall have the option to
request that Advances bear interest at a rate based upon the LIBOR Rate.
LIBOR Election.(b)
Borrowers may, at any time and from time to time, so long as(i)
Administrative Borrower has not received a notice from Agent, after the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default, of the election of the Required Advance Lenders, with
respect to Advances, and the Required Term Loan Lenders, with respect to the Term Loan, to
terminate the right of Borrowers to exercise the LIBOR Option during the continuance of such
Event of Default, elect to exercise the LIBOR Option by notifying Agent prior to 12:00 noon at
least three (3) Business Days prior to the commencement of the proposed Interest Period (the
“LIBOR Deadline”). Notice of Borrowers’ election of the LIBOR Option for a permitted portion
of the Advances and an Interest Period pursuant to this Section shall be made by delivery to
Agent of a LIBOR Notice received by Agent before the LIBOR Deadline, or by written notice
received by Agent before the LIBOR Deadline (to be confirmed by delivery to Agent of a LIBOR
29
Notice received by Agent prior to 5:00 p.m. on the same day). Notice of Borrowers’ election of
the LIBOR Option for the Term Loan for the Interest Period pursuant to this Section shall be
made by delivery to Agent of a LIBOR Notice received by Agent before the LIBOR Deadline, or
by written notice received by Agent before the LIBOR Deadline (to be confirmed by delivery to
Agent of a LIBOR Notice received by Agent prior to 5:00 p.m. on the same day). Promptly upon
its receipt of each LIBOR Notice, Agent shall provide a copy thereof to each of the affected
Lenders.
Each LIBOR Notice shall be irrevocable and binding on(ii)
Borrowers. In connection with each LIBOR Rate Loan, Borrowers shall, jointly and severally,
indemnify, defend, and hold Agent and Lenders harmless against any loss, cost, or expense
actually incurred by Agent or any Lender as a result of (A) the payment of any principal of any
LIBOR Rate Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as
a result of an Event of Default), (B) the conversion of any LIBOR Rate Loan other than on the
last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (C) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or
prepay any LIBOR Rate Loan on the date specified in any LIBOR Notice delivered pursuant
hereto (such losses, costs, or expenses “Funding Losses”). A certificate of Agent or a Lender
delivered to Borrowers setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that Agent or
such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. Borrowers shall pay such amount to Agent or Lender, as applicable, within thirty
(30) days of the date of its receipt of such certificate. If a payment of a LIBOR Rate Loan on a
day other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period would result in a Funding Loss, Agent
may, in its sole discretion at the request of Borrowers, hold the amount of such payment as cash
collateral in support of the Obligations until the last day of such Interest Period and apply such
amounts to the payment of the applicable LIBOR Rate Loan on such last day, it being agreed that
Agent has no obligation to so defer the application of payments to any LIBOR Rate Loan and
that, in the event that Agent does not defer such application, Borrowers shall be obligated to pay
any resulting Funding Losses.
Borrowers shall have not more than five (5) LIBOR Rate Loans in(iii)
effect at any given time. Borrowers only may exercise the LIBOR Option for proposed LIBOR
Rate Loans of at least $1,000,000.
Conversion. Borrowers may convert LIBOR Rate Loans to Base Rate(c)
Loans at any time; provided, however, that in the event that LIBOR Rate Loans are converted or
prepaid on any date that is not the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, including as a
result of any automatic prepayment through the required application by Agent of proceeds of
Borrowers’ and their Subsidiaries’ Collections in accordance with Section 2.4(b) or for any other
reason, including early termination of the term of this Agreement or acceleration of all or any
portion of the Obligations pursuant to the terms hereof, Borrowers shall indemnify, defend, and
hold Agent and Lenders and their Participants harmless against any and all Funding Losses in
accordance with Section 2.12 (b)(ii).
Special Provisions Applicable to LIBOR Rate.(d)
The LIBOR Rate may be adjusted by Agent with respect to any(i)
Lender on a prospective basis to take into account any additional or increased costs to such
30
Lender of maintaining or obtaining any eurodollar deposits or increased costs, in each case, due
to changes in applicable law occurring subsequent to the commencement of the then applicable
Interest Period, including changes in tax laws (except changes of general applicability in
corporate income tax laws) and changes in the reserve requirements imposed by the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor), excluding the Reserve Percentage,
which additional or increased costs would increase the cost of funding or maintaining loans
bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate. In any such event, the affected Lender shall give Borrowers
and Agent notice of such a determination and adjustment and Agent promptly shall transmit the
notice to each other Lender and, upon its receipt of the notice from the affected Lender,
Borrowers may, by notice to such affected Lender (A) require such Lender to furnish to
Borrowers a statement setting forth the basis for adjusting such LIBOR Rate and the method for
determining the amount of such adjustment, or (B) repay the LIBOR Rate Loans with respect to
which such adjustment is made (together with any amounts due under Section 2.12(b)(ii)).
In the event that any change in market conditions or any law,(ii)
regulation, treaty, or directive, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application
thereof, shall at any time after the date hereof, in the reasonable opinion of any Lender, make it
unlawful or impractical for such Lender to fund or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans or to continue
such funding or maintaining, or to determine or charge interest rates at the LIBOR Rate, such
Lender shall give notice of such changed circumstances to Agent and Borrowers and Agent
promptly shall transmit the notice to each other Lender and (A) in the case of any LIBOR Rate
Loans of such Lender that are outstanding, the date specified in such Lender’s notice shall be
deemed to be the last day of the Interest Period of such LIBOR Rate Loans, and interest upon the
LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender thereafter shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to
Base Rate Loans, and (B) Borrowers shall not be entitled to elect the LIBOR Option until such
Lender determines that it would no longer be unlawful or impractical to do so.
For purposes of this Section 2.12(d), the Dodd-Frank Wall Street(iii)
Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any
successor or similar authority), the Bank for International Settlements and, in each case, all rules,
regulations, orders, requests, guidelines or directives in connection therewith are deemed to have
been enacted and become effective after the date of this AgreementClosing Date, regardless of
the date enacted, adopted or issued.
No Requirement of Matched Funding. Anything to the contrary(e)
contained herein notwithstanding, neither Agent, nor any Lender, nor any of their Participants, is
required actually to acquire eurodollar deposits to fund or otherwise match fund any Obligation
as to which interest accrues at the LIBOR Rate.
Capital Requirements.2.13
If, after the date hereof, any Lender determines that (i) the adoption of or(a)
change in any law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital or liquidity requirements for
banks or bank holding companies, or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by
any Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof, or (ii) compliance by such
Lender or its parent bank holding company with any guideline, request or directive of any such
entity regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law), has the effect of
31
reducing the return on such Lender’s or such holding company’s capital as a consequence of such
Lender’s Commitments hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such holding
company could have achieved but for such adoption, change, or compliance (taking into
consideration such Lender’s or such holding company’s then existing policies with respect to
capital adequacy or liquidity and assuming the full utilization of such entity’s capital) by any
amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then such Lender may notify Borrowers and
Agent thereof. Following receipt of such notice, Borrowers agree to pay such Lender on demand
the amount of such reduction of return of capital as and when such reduction is determined,
payable within forty-five (45) days after presentation by such Lender of a statement in the
amount and setting forth in reasonable detail such Lender’s calculation thereof and the
assumptions upon which such calculation was based (which statement shall be deemed true and
correct absent manifest error). In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable
averaging and attribution methods. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand
compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to
demand such compensation; provided, that Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a
Lender pursuant to this Section for any reductions in return incurred more than one hundred
eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrowers of such law, rule,
regulation or guideline giving rise to such reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim
compensation therefor; provided, further that if such claim arises by reason of the adoption of or
change in any law, rule, regulation or guideline that is retroactive, then the 180-day period
referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. For
purposes of this Section 2.13 (a), the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection,
the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority), the Bank
for International Settlements and all rules, regulations, orders, requests, guidelines or directives
in connection therewith are deemed to have been enacted and become effective after the date of
this AgreementClosing Date, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.
If any Lender requests additional or increased costs referred to in Section (b)
2.12(d)(i) or amounts under Section 2.13(a) (any such Lender, an “Affected Lender”), then such
Affected Lender shall use reasonable efforts to promptly designate a different one of its lending
offices or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices or branches, if (i)
in the reasonable judgment of such Affected Lender, such designation or assignment would
eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12(d)(i) or Section 2.13(a), as
applicable, and (ii) in the reasonable judgment of such Affected Lender, such designation or
assignment would not subject it to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not
otherwise be materially disadvantageous to it. Borrowers agree to pay all reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by such Affected Lender in connection with any such
designation or assignment. If, after such reasonable efforts, such Affected Lender does not so
designate a different one of its lending offices or assign its rights to another of its offices or
branches so as to eliminate or reduce Borrowers’ respective obligations to pay any future
amounts to such Affected Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(d)(i) or Section 2.13(a) as applicable,
then Borrowers (without prejudice to any amounts then due to such Affected Lender under
Section 2.12(d)(i) or Section 2.13(a) as applicable) may, unless prior to the effective date of any
such assignment the Affected Lender withdraws its request for such additional amounts under
Section 2.12(d)(i) or Section 2.13(a) as applicable, may seek a substitute Lender reasonably
acceptable to Agent to purchase the Obligations owed to such Affected Lender and such Affected
Lender’s Commitments hereunder (a “Replacement Lender”), and if such Replacement Lender
32
agrees to such purchase, such Affected Lender shall assign to the Replacement Lender its
Obligations and Commitments, pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance, and upon such
purchase by the Replacement Lender, such Replacement Lender shall be deemed to be a
“Lender” for purposes of this Agreement and such Affected Lender shall cease to be a “Lender”
for purposes of this Agreement.

deemed for all purposes to have been made by such Borrower or Guarantor, as the case may be,
and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Borrower or Guarantor to the same extent
as if made directly by such Borrower or Guarantor.

as agent as aforesaid shall be effective, except after five (5) days’ prior written notice to Agent.

any final judgments, writs, injunctions, decrees, rules or regulations of any court or any federal,
state, municipal or other governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or

expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Loan Parties and, their Subsidiaries and the Specified Affiliates that have been delivered by

Parties’ and, their Subsidiaries’ and the Specified Affiliates’ consolidated financial condition as
of the date thereof and results of operations for the period then ended, it being acknowledged that

copyrights, patents, and licenses as to which Parent or one of its Subsidiaries is the owner or is an
exclusive licensee; provided, however, that, Borrowers may amend Schedule 4.14 to add

of such material leases are valid and subsisting and no material default by the applicable Loan
Party or its Subsidiaries exists under any of them except where failure to be so valid and
subsisting or where such default could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

agreements, instruments, and corporate or other restrictions to which Parent, Borrowers or any of

their Subsidiaries is subject, and all other matters known to any of them, the breach of which
would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect. None of the reports (including without limitation all reports that Holdings, Parent or
Borrowers are required to file with the SEC), financial statements, certificates or other
information furnished by or on behalf of Parent or Borrowers to the Agent in connection with the
negotiation of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or delivered hereunder or
thereunder (as modified or supplemented by any other information so furnished) contains any
material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements
therein, taken as a whole, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading; provided that with respect to projected financial information and other
forward-looking information, the Loan Parties represent only that such information was prepared
in good faith on the basis of assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time.
Material Contracts. Set forth on Schedule 4.18 (as such Schedule may be4.18

Borrowers may amend Schedule 4.18 to add additional Material Contracts so long as such
amendment occurs by written notice to Agent on the date that Administrative Borrower provides
the Compliance Certificate. Except for matters which, either individually or in the aggregate,
could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, each Material Contract
(other than those that have expired at the end of their normal terms) (a) is in full force and effect
and is binding upon and enforceable against the applicable Loan Party or its Subsidiary and, to
Borrowers’ knowledge, after due inquiry, each other Person that is a party thereto in accordance

Subsidiary diligently, in good faith, and by appropriate proceedings; provided such reserves or
other appropriate provisions, if any, as shall be required in conformity with GAAP shall have
been made or provided therefor.

as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing
or carrying any Margin Stock. No part of the proceeds of the loans made to Borrowers will be

statements in accordance with GAAP. Each Loan Party shall also (a) keep a reporting system that
shows all additions, sales, claims, returns, and allowances with respect to its and its Subsidiaries’
sales, and (b) maintain its billing methods and practices as approved by Agent prior to the
ClosingFirst Amendment Effective Date and shall only make material modifications thereto with
notice to, and with the consent of, Agent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

Schedule.

failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, good

permits with respect to its business; provided, however, that no Loan Party or, any of its
Subsidiaries or any Specified Affiliate shall be required to preserve any such right or franchise,
licenses or permits if such Person’s board of directors (or similar governing body) shall
determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of
such Person, and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Loan
Parties, taken as a whole, or to Agent and Lenders.
Maintenance of Properties. Maintain and preserve all of its assets that are5.4
necessary or useful in the proper conduct of its business in good working order and condition,
ordinary wear, tear, casualty or condemnation by power of eminent domain excepted and
Permitted Dispositions excepted (and except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect), and comply with the material provisions of all
material leases to which it is a party as lessee, so as to prevent the loss or forfeiture thereof
(except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect).
Taxes. Cause all federal income and other material taxes or assessments imposed,5.5
levied, or assessed against any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective assets or
in respect of any of its income, businesses, or franchises to be paid in full, before delinquency or
before the expiration of any extension period, except to the extent that such assessment or tax
shall be the subject of a Permitted Protest and so long as, in the case of any such assessment or
tax that has become a Lien against any of the Collateral, such contest proceedings conclusively
operate to stay the sale of any portion of the Collateral to satisfy such assessment or tax.
Insurance. At Borrowers’ expense, maintain insurance respecting each of the5.6
Loan Parties’ and their Subsidiaries’ assets wherever located, covering loss or damage by fire,
theft, explosion, and all other hazards and risks as ordinarily are insured against by other Persons

general liability, product liability insurance, director’s and officer’s liability insurance, fiduciary
liability insurance, and employment practices liability insurance, as well as insurance against
larceny, embezzlement, and criminal misappropriation. All such policies of insurance or
reinsurance shall be with responsible and reputable insurance companies reasonably acceptable
to Agent and in such amounts as is carried generally in accordance with sound business practice
by companies in similar businesses similarly situated and located; provided, however, that such
insurance may be with a captive insurer that is, directly or indirectly, wholly owned by Holdings,
provided that all such captive insurer policies shall be reinsured by one or more responsible and
45
reputable insurance companies reasonably acceptable to Agent and on terms reasonably
acceptable to Agent. All property insurance policies covering the Collateral are to be made

reasonably require to fully protect Lenders’ interest in the Collateral and to any payments to be

delivered to Agent, with the loss payable (but only in respect of Collateral) and additional insured
endorsements in favor of Agent and shall provide for not less than thirty (30) days (ten (10) days
in the case of non-payment) prior written notice to Agent of the exercise of any right of
cancellation. If Borrowers fail to maintain such insurance, Agent may arrange for such insurance,
but at Borrowers’ expense and without any responsibility on Agent’s part for obtaining the
insurance, the solvency of the insurance companies, the adequacy of the coverage, or the
collection of claims. Borrowers shall give Agent prompt notice of any loss exceeding $1,000,000
covered by its casualty or business interruption insurance. Unless a Default or Event of Default
shall exist or have occurred and be continuing, to the extent that Agent receives proceeds of
insurance maintained by a Loan Party, such proceeds shall be applied in accordance with Section
2.4(g)(ii) and to the extent that any such proceeds exceed the Obligations, Agent shall credit such
excess to the investment account, Deposit Account or Securities Account in which Qualified
Cash of Borrowers is then being maintained. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default, Agent shall have the sole right to file claims under any property and general
liability insurance policies in respect of the Collateral, to receive, receipt and give acquittance for
any payments that may be payable thereunder, and to execute any and all endorsements, receipts,
releases, assignments, reassignments or other documents that may be necessary to effect the
collection, compromise or settlement of any claims under any such insurance policies.

agents to visit any of its properties and inspect any of its assets or books and records, to conduct
appraisals and valuations, to examine and make copies of its books and records, and to discuss its
affairs, finances, and accounts with, and to be advised as to the same by, its officers and
employees at such reasonable times and intervals as Agent may designate, and at Borrowers’
expense (without limitation upon the obligations of Borrowers as set forth on Schedule 5.1/5.2
with respect to field examinations) not more than once each calendar year so long as no Default
or Event of Default exists and at any time at Lenders’ expense and, so long as no Default or
Event of Default exists, with reasonable prior notice to Borrowers.
Compliance with Laws. Comply with the requirements of all applicable laws,5.8
rules, regulations, and orders of any Governmental Authority, other than laws, rules, regulations,
and orders the non-compliance with which, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably
be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
Environmental.5.9
Keep any property either owned or operated by Parent or its Subsidiaries(a)
free of any Environmental Liens or post bonds or other financial assurances sufficient to satisfy
the obligations or liability evidenced by such Environmental Liens, except to the extent that any
failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect,
46

extent that any failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect and provide to Agent documentation of such compliance which Agent reasonably
requests,
Promptly notify Agent of any release of which any Borrower has(c)
knowledge of a Hazardous Material in any reportable quantity from or onto property owned or
operated by Parent or its Subsidiaries to the extent that such release could reasonably be expected
to result in liability net of applicable insurance coverage therefor in excess of $1,000,000, and
take any Remedial Actions required by applicable Environmental Law to abate said release or
otherwise to come into compliance, in all material respects, with applicable Environmental Law,
and
Promptly, but in any event within ten (10) Business Days of its receipt(d)
thereof, provide Agent with written notice of any of the following: (i) notice that an
Environmental Lien has been filed against any of the real or personal property of Parent or its
Subsidiaries, (ii) commencement of any material Environmental Action or written notice that a
material Environmental Action will be filed against Parent or its Subsidiaries, and (iii) written
notice of a violation, citation, or other administrative order from a Governmental Authority, other
than any with respect to a violation, citation or other administration order that could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

after obtaining knowledge thereof, notify Agent if any written information, exhibit, or report
furnished by or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Lender Group in connection with or related to
the Loan Documents contained, at the time it was furnished, any untrue statement of a material
fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not
misleading (in all material respects) in light of the circumstances in which made. The foregoing
to the contrary notwithstanding, any notification pursuant to the foregoing provision will not cure
or remedy the effect of the prior untrue statement of a material fact or omission of any material
fact nor shall any such notification have the effect of amending or modifying this Agreement or
any of the Schedules hereto.
Formation of Subsidiaries; Additional Borrowers; Redesignation of 5.11
Guarantor.
At the time that any Loan Party forms any direct or indirect Subsidiary or (a)
Permitted JV or acquires any direct or indirect Subsidiary or Permitted JV after the ClosingFirst
Amendment Effective Date, such Loan Party shall (i) within ten (10) days following such
formation or acquisition (or such later date as permitted by Agent in its sole discretion) cause any
such new Subsidiary (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, such Permitted JV) to provide to Agent
a joinder to the Guaranty and the Security Agreement, together with such other security
documents, as well as appropriate financing statements, all in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Agent (including being sufficient to grant Agent a first priority Lien (subject to
Permitted Liens) in and to those assets of such newly formed or acquired Subsidiary in which
Liens are granted pursuant to the Security Agreement); provided, that, the Guaranty, the Security
Agreement, and such other security documents shall not be required to be provided to Agent with
47
respect to any Subsidiary of Borrowers that is a CFC if providing such documents would result in
adverse tax consequences or the costs to the Loan Parties of providing such Guaranty, executing
any security documents or perfecting the security interests created thereby are unreasonably
excessive (as determined by Agent in consultation with Borrowers) in relation to the benefits of
Agent and Lenders of the security or guarantee afforded thereby, (ii) within ten (10) days
following such formation or acquisition (or such later date as permitted by Agent in its sole
discretion) provide to Agent a pledge agreement (or an addendum or amendment to each of the
Security Agreement and the Pledge Agreement) and appropriate certificates and powers or
financing statements, pledging all of theits direct or beneficial ownership interest in such new
Subsidiary or Permitted JV reasonably satisfactory to Agent; provided, that, only sixty-five
(65%) percent of (x) the total outstanding Equity Interests entitled to vote of any first tier
Subsidiary of Parent that is a CFC (and none of the Equity Interest of any Subsidiary of such
CFC), and (y) the total outstanding Equity Interests entitled to vote of any Permitted JV that is a
CFC (and none of the Equity Interest of any Subsidiary of such Permitted JV), in each case, shall
be required to be pledged if pledging a greater amount would result in adverse tax consequences
or the costs to the Loan Parties of providing such pledge or perfecting the security interests
created thereby are unreasonably excessive (as determined by Co-Collateral Agents in
consultation with Borrowers) in relation to the benefits of Agent and Lenders of the security or
guarantee afforded thereby (which pledge, if reasonably requested by Agent, shall be governed by
the laws of the jurisdiction of such Subsidiary), and (iii) within ten (10) days following such
formation or acquisition (or such later date as permitted by Co-Collateral Agents in their sole
discretion) provide to Co-Collateral Agents all other documentation, including one or more
opinions of counsel reasonably satisfactory to Co-Collateral Agents, which in their opinion is
appropriate with respect to the execution and delivery of the applicable documentation referred to
above. Any document, agreement, or instrument executed or issued pursuant to this Section 5.11
shall be a Loan Document.
Any direct or indirect Subsidiary of a Loan Party which is formed or(b)
acquired under this Section 5.11 and that is not a CFC may, subject to approval of Agent in its
Permitted Discretion (and of each Lender, if such Subsidiary is organized under the laws of a
jurisdiction outside the United States or Canada), be a Borrower, rather than a Guarantor
hereunder; provided, however, that, in no event shall any assets or properties of such Borrower
be treated by Agent, Co-Collateral Agents or Lenders as eligible for inclusion in the Borrowing
Base under the Loan Documents unless and until the applicable eligibility criteria set forth in this
Agreement shall have been satisfied as determined by Agent in accordance with the terms hereof
and Agent shall have conducted due diligence, including, but not limited to, a field examination,
site visit, anti-terrorism and anti-money laundering compliance, and review of books and records
in respect thereof and determined that all of the foregoing are in form and substance satisfactory
to Agent in its Permitted Discretion. Any assets and properties of a type constituting Collateral
hereunder shall nevertheless be and remain part of the Collateral together with the products and
proceeds thereof.
Any Guarantor that is not a CFC hereunder may, at the request of(c)
Administrative Borrower and subject to approval of Agent in its Permitted Discretion, be
redesignated as Borrower, rather than a Guarantor hereunder; provided however, that, (i) in no
event shall any assets or properties of such Borrower be treated by Agent, Co-Collateral Agents
or Lenders as eligible for inclusion in the Borrowing Base under the Loan Documents unless and
48
until the applicable eligibility criteria set forth in this Agreement shall have been satisfied as
determined by Agent in accordance with the terms hereof and Agent shall have conducted due
diligence, including, but not limited to, a field examination, site visit, anti-terrorism and
anti-money laundering compliance, and review of books and records in respect thereof and
determined that all of the foregoing are in form and substance satisfactory to Agent in its
Permitted Discretion, (ii) without limitation upon Section 5.12 or any other provision of any of

greater of (i) with respect to any period indicated on Schedule 7 the amount equal to the FCCR
Percentage Trigger then in effect (as reflected on Schedule 7) multiplied by the Loan Limit for
such period or (ii) with respect to such period indicated on Schedule 7, the FCCR Dollar Trigger
for such periodthen in effect (as reflected on Schedule 7) (such greater amount, the “Applicable

provided for hereunder or under any other Loan Document or by applicable law, do any one or
more of the following on behalf of the Lender Group:
declare the Obligations, whether evidenced by this Agreement or by any of(a)
the other Loan Documents immediately due and payable, whereupon the same shall become and
be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest, or further notice or other

declare the Commitments terminated, whereupon the Commitments shall(b)
immediately be terminated together with any obligation of any Lender hereunder to make

Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative. The Lender
Group shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the
Code, by law, or in equity. No exercise by the Lender Group of one right or remedy shall be
deemed an election, and no waiver by the Lender Group of any Event of Default shall be deemed
a continuing waiver. No delay by the Lender Group shall constitute a waiver, election, or
acquiescence by it.

protest, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, nonpayment at

chattel paper, and guarantees at any time held by the Lender Group on which a Borrower may in
any way be liable.
The Lender Group’s Liability for Collateral. Each Loan Party hereby agrees10.2
that: (a) so long as Agent complies with its obligations, if any, under the Code, the Lender Group
shall not in any way or manner be liable or responsible for: (i) the safekeeping of the Collateral,

Person”) harmless (to the fullest extent permitted by law) from and against any and all losses,
claims, demands, suits, actions, investigations, proceedings, liabilities, fines, costs, penalties, and
damages, and all reasonable fees and disbursements of attorneys, experts, or consultants and all
other costs and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith or in connection with the

suit is brought), at any time asserted against, imposed upon, or incurred by any of them (a) in
connection with or as a result of or related to the execution and delivery (provided, that,
Borrowers shall not be liable for costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of any Lender
(other than Wells Fargo) incurred in advising, structuring, drafting, reviewing, administering or
syndicating the Loan Documents), enforcement, performance, or administration (including any
restructuring or workout with respect hereto) of this Agreement, any of the other Loan
Documents, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the monitoring of Parent’s,
Borrowers’ and their Subsidiaries’ compliance with the terms of the Loan Documents (provided,
however, that, the indemnification in this clause (a) shall not extend to (i) disputes solely
between or among Lenders or (ii) disputes solely between or among Lenders and their respective
Affiliates; it being understood and agreed that the indemnification in this clause (a) shall extend
to disputes between or among Agent on the one hand, and one or more Lenders, or one or more
64
of their Affiliates, on the other hand), (b) with respect to any investigation, litigation, or
proceeding related to this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or the use of the proceeds of the
credit provided hereunder (irrespective of whether any Indemnified Person is a party thereto), or
any act, omission, event, or circumstance in any manner related thereto, and (c) in connection
with or arising out of any presence or release of Hazardous Materials at, on, under, to or from any
assets or properties owned, leased or operated by a Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any
Environmental Actions, Environmental Liabilities or Remedial Actions related in any way to any
such assets or properties of a Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (each and all of the foregoing,
the “Indemnified Liabilities”). The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrowers shall
have no obligation to any Indemnified Person under this Section 10.3 with respect to any
Indemnified Liability that a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines pursuant to a
non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
such Indemnified Person or its officers, directors, employees, attorneys, or agents. This
provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Obligations.
If any Indemnified Person makes any payment to any other Indemnified Person with respect to an
Indemnified Liability as to which Borrowers were required to indemnify the Indemnified Person
receiving such payment, the Indemnified Person making such payment is entitled to be
indemnified and reimbursed by Borrowers with respect thereto. WITHOUT LIMITATION,

applicable law, the Loan Parties shall not assert, and hereby waive, any claim against any
Indemnified Person, on any theory of liability, for special, punitive, exemplary, indirect, or
consequential damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection
with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument
contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Advance, Term Loan
or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnified Person shall be liable for
any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials
distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnified Person through
telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby
other than for direct or actual damages that a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines
pursuant to a non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Indemnified Person.
Survival. The provisions of this Section 10 shall survive the termination of this 10.5
Agreement and the repayment of the Obligations.

documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and
decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance, (iv) such Assignee will, independently
and without reliance upon Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender, and based on such
documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own
credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, (v) such Assignee appoints
and authorizes Agent to take such actions and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents as are delegated to Agent, by the terms hereof and thereof, together
with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, and (vi) such Assignee agrees that it will
perform all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed
by it as a Lender.
Immediately upon Agent’s receipt of the required processing fee, if(d)
applicable, and delivery of notice to the assigning Lender pursuant to Section 13.1(b), this
Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to
reflect the addition of the Assignee and the resulting adjustment of the Commitments arising
therefrom. The Commitment allocated to each Assignee shall reduce such Commitments of the
assigning Lender pro tanto.
Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks,(e)
financial institutions, or other Persons (a “Participant”) participating interests in all or any
portion of its Obligations, its Commitment, and the other rights and interests of that Lender (the
“Originating Lender”) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that,
(i) the Originating Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents and the Participant receiving the participating interest in the Obligations,
the Commitments, and the other rights and interests of the Originating Lender hereunder shall not
constitute a “Lender” hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and the Originating Lender’s
obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Originating Lender shall
remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, (iii) Borrowers, Agent, and
Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Originating Lender in connection with
the Originating Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, (iv) no Lender shall transfer or grant any participating interest under which the
Participant has the right to approve any amendment to, or any consent or waiver with respect to,
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except to the extent such amendment to, or consent
or waiver with respect to this Agreement or of any other Loan Document would (A) extend the
final maturity date of the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is participating, (B)
reduce the interest rate applicable to the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is
participating, (C) release all or substantially all of the Collateral or guaranties (except to the
extent expressly provided herein or in any of the Loan Documents) supporting the Obligations
hereunder in which such Participant is participating, (D) postpone the payment of, or reduce the
amount of, the interest or fees payable to such Participant through such Lender (other than a
waiver of default interest), or (E) change the amount or due dates of scheduled principal
69
repayments or prepayments or premiums, and (v) all amounts payable by Borrowers hereunder
shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation, except that, if amounts
outstanding under this Agreement are due and unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have
become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be
deemed to have the right of set off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under
this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing
directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement. The rights of any Participant only shall be
derivative through the Originating Lender with whom such Participant participates and no
Participant shall have any rights under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any direct
rights as to the other Lenders, Agent, Borrowers, the Collections of Borrowers or its Subsidiaries,
the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Obligations. No Participant shall have the right to
participate directly in the making of decisions by Lenders among themselves.
In connection with any such assignment or participation or proposed(f)
assignment or participation or any grant of a security interest in, or pledge of, its rights under and
interest in this Agreement, a Lender may, subject to the provisions of Section 17.9, disclose all
documents and information which it now or hereafter may have relating to Parent, its
Subsidiaries and their respective businesses.
Any other provision in this Agreement notwithstanding, any Lender may at(g)
any time create a security interest in, or pledge, all or any portion of its rights under and interest
in this Agreement in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the
Federal Reserve Bank or U.S. Treasury Regulation 31 CFR §203.24, and such Federal Reserve
Bank may enforce such pledge or security interest in any manner permitted under applicable law.
Agent (as a non-fiduciary agent on behalf of Borrowers) shall maintain, or(h)
cause to be maintained, a register (the “Register”) on which it enters the name and address of
each Lender as the registered owner of its Commitment (and the principal amount thereof and
stated interest thereon) held by such Lender (each a “Registered Loan”). Other than in
connection with an assignment by a Lender of all or any portion of its Commitment to an
Affiliate of such Lender or a Related Fund of such Lender (i) a Registered Loan (and the
registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be assigned or sold in whole or in part only by
registration of such assignment or sale on the Register (and each registered note shall expressly
so provide) and (ii) any assignment or sale of all or part of such Registered Loan (and the
registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be effected only by registration of such
assignment or sale on the Register, together with the surrender of the registered note, if any,
evidencing the same duly endorsed by (or accompanied by a written instrument of assignment or
sale duly executed by) the holder of such registered note, whereupon, at the request of the
designated assignee(s) or transferee(s), one or more new registered notes in the same aggregate
principal amount shall be issued to the designated assignee(s) or transferee(s). Prior to the
registration of assignment or sale of any Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any
evidencing the same), Borrowers shall treat the Person in whose name such Registered Loan (and
the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) is registered as the owner thereof for the purpose
of receiving all payments thereon and for all other purposes, notwithstanding notice to the
contrary. In the case of any assignment by a Lender of all or any portion of its Commitment to an
Affiliate of such Lender or a Related Fund of such Lender, and which assignment is not recorded
70
in the Register, the assigning Lender, on behalf of Borrowers, shall maintain a register
comparable to the Register.
In the event that a Lender sells participations in the Registered Loan, such(i)
Lender, as a non-fiduciary agent on behalf of Borrowers, shall maintain (or cause to be
maintained) a register on which it enters the name of all participants in the Registered Loans held
by it (and the principal amount (and stated interest thereon) of the portion of such Registered
Loans that is subject to such participations) (the “Participant Register”). A Registered Loan (and
the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be participated in whole or in part only by
registration of such participation on the Participant Register (and each registered note shall
expressly so provide). Any participation of such Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any,
evidencing the same) may be effected only by the registration of such participation on the
Participant Register.
Agent shall make a copy of the Register (and each Lender shall make a(j)
copy of its Participant Register in the extent it has one) available for review by Borrowers from
time to time as Borrowers may reasonably request.
Successors. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective13.2
successors and assigns of each of the parties; provided, however, that, Borrowers may not assign
this Agreement or any rights or duties hereunder without Lenders’ prior written consent and any
prohibited assignment shall be absolutely void ab initio. No consent to assignment by Lenders
shall release Borrowers from their Obligations. A Lender may assign this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents and its rights and duties hereunder and thereunder pursuant to Section
13.1 and, except as expressly required pursuant to Section 13.1, no consent or approval by
Borrowers is required in connection with any such assignment.

than any waiver expressly relating to Section 3.2) or any other Loan Document, including any

Document or any waiver of a Default or an Event of Default, shall not be deemed to be a waiver
of a condition set forth in Section 3.2),

signed by Supermajority Term Loan Lenders and each of the Co-Collateral Agents, waive any
condition set forth in Section 3.2 in connection with the obligation to make any Term Loans (it
being understood and agreed that any amendment or waiver of, or any consent with respect to,

payment and satisfaction of all Obligations in respect of the Term Loan, the Required Term Loan

has issued any then outstanding Letters of Credit, or then proposes to issue one or more Letters of
Credit that would cause the outstanding principal amount of Letters of Credit to exceed the
maximum amount set forth in Section 2.11(a)(1), and Borrowers shall be required for any such
amendment, waiver, modification, or consent in respect of Section 2.11(a)(1),
No amendment, waiver, modification, or consent shall amend, modify, or(d)

Anything in this Section 14.1 to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) any(f)

(ii) any amendment, waiver, modification, elimination, or consent of or with respect to any
provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be entered into without the

Agreement or the other Loan Documents and determining Pro Rata Shares, a Defaulting Lender

Replacement of Certain Lenders.14.2
If (i) any action to be taken by the Lender Group or Agent hereunder(a)
requires the unanimous consent, authorization, or agreement of any Lender directly adversely
affected thereby and if such action has received the consent, authorization, or agreement of the
Required Lenders, Required Advances Lenders or Required Term Lenders, as applicable, but not
such greater number of Lenders as may be required by Section 14.1 or (ii) any Lender makes a
claim for compensation under Section 16 then Borrowers or Agent, upon at least five (5)
Business Days prior irrevocable notice, may permanently replace any Lender (a “Holdout
Lender”) that failed to give its consent, authorization, or agreement or made a claim for
compensation (a “Tax Lender”) with one or more Replacement Lenders, and the Holdout Lender
or Tax Lender, as applicable, shall have no right to refuse to be replaced hereunder. Such notice
to replace the Holdout Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, shall specify an effective date for
such replacement, which date shall not be later than fifteen (15) Business Days after the date
such notice is given.
74
Prior to the effective date of such replacement, the Holdout Lender and(b)
each Replacement Lender shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance, subject only
to the Holdout Lender being repaid its share of the outstanding Obligations (including an
assumption of its Pro Rata Share of the Letters of Credit) without any premium or penalty of any
kind whatsoever. If the Holdout Lender shall refuse or fail to execute and deliver any such
Assignment and Acceptance prior to the effective date of such replacement, the Holdout Lender
shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance. The
replacement of any Holdout Lender shall be made in accordance with the terms of Section 13.1.
Until such time as the Replacement Lenders shall have acquired all of the Obligations, the
Commitments, and the other rights and obligations of the Holdout Lender hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents, the Holdout Lender shall remain obligated to make the Holdout
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of Advances, Term Loans, and to purchase a participation in each Letter
of Credit, in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of such Letters of Credit.
No Waivers; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by Agent or any Lender to14.3
exercise any right, remedy, or option under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or delay
by Agent or any Lender in exercising the same, will operate as a waiver thereof. No waiver by
Agent or any Lender will be effective unless it is in writing, and then only to the extent
specifically stated. No waiver by Agent or any Lender on any occasion shall affect or diminish
Agent’s and each Lender’s rights thereafter to require strict performance by Parent and
Borrowers of any provision of this Agreement. Agent’s and each Lender’s rights under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents will be cumulative and not exclusive of any other
right or remedy that Agent or any Lender may have.
AGENT; THE LENDER GROUP.15.
Appointment and Authorization of Agent. Each Lender hereby designates and15.1
appoints Wells Fargo as its agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and each
Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent to execute and deliver each of the other Loan
Documents on its behalf and to take such other action on its behalf under the provisions of this
Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties
as are expressly delegated to Agent by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Agent agrees to act as agent for
and on behalf of Lenders (and the Bank Product Providers) on the conditions contained in this
Section 15. Any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other
Loan Document notwithstanding, Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except
those expressly set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents, nor shall Agent have or be
deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender (or Bank Product Provider), and no
implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into
this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against Agent. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents with reference to Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or
express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is
used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only a
representative relationship between independent contracting parties. Each Lender hereby further
authorizes (and by its acceptance of the benefits of the Loan Documents, each Bank Product
Provider shall be deemed to authorize) Agent to act as the secured party under each of the Loan
75
Documents that create a Lien on any item of Collateral. Except as expressly otherwise provided
in this Agreement, Agent shall have and may use its sole discretion with respect to exercising or
refraining from exercising any discretionary rights or taking or refraining from taking any actions
that Agent expressly is entitled to take or assert under or pursuant to this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, or of any other
provision of the Loan Documents that provides rights or powers to Agent, Lenders agree that
Agent shall have the right to exercise the following powers as long as this Agreement remains in
effect: (a) maintain, in accordance with its customary business practices, ledgers and records
reflecting the status of the Obligations, the Collateral, the Collections of Parent and its
Subsidiaries, and related matters, (b) execute or file any and all financing or similar statements or
notices, amendments, renewals, supplements, documents, instruments, proofs of claim, notices
and other written agreements with respect to the Loan Documents, (c) make Advances, for itself
or on behalf of Lenders, as provided in the Loan Documents, (d) exclusively receive, apply, and
distribute the Collections of Parent and its Subsidiaries as provided in the Loan Documents, (e)
open and maintain such bank accounts and cash management arrangements as Agent deems
necessary and appropriate in accordance with the Loan Documents for the foregoing purposes
with respect to the Collateral and the Collections of Parent and its Subsidiaries, (f) perform,
exercise, and enforce any and all other rights and remedies of the Lender Group with respect to
Parent or its Subsidiaries, the Obligations, the Collateral, the Collections of Parent and its
Subsidiaries, or otherwise related to any of same as provided in the Loan Documents, and (g)
incur and pay such Lender Group Expenses as Agent may deem necessary or appropriate for the
performance and fulfillment of its functions and powers pursuant to the Loan Documents.
Delegation of Duties. Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement15.2
or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys in fact and shall be
entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Agent shall not be
responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney in fact that it selects as long
as such selection was made without gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Liability of Agent. None of the Agent-Related Persons shall (a) be liable for any15.3
action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or
any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross
negligence or willful misconduct), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any of Lenders (or
Bank Product Providers) for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by Parent or
any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or any officer or director thereof, contained in this
Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other
document referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in connection with, this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness,
enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of
Parent or its Subsidiaries or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations
hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lenders
(or Bank Product Providers) to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any
of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or
to inspect the books and records or properties of Parent or its Subsidiaries.
Reliance by Agent. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in15.4
relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram,
76
telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission, telex or telephone message, statement or
other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed,
sent, or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel
(including counsel to Borrowers or counsel to any Lender), independent accountants and other
experts selected by Agent. Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless Agent shall first receive such advice or
concurrence of Lenders as it deems appropriate and until such instructions are received, Agent
shall act, or refrain from acting, as it deems advisable. If Agent so requests, it shall first be
indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by Lenders (and, if it so elects, the Bank Product
Providers) against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking
or continuing to take any such action. Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in
refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a
request or consent of the requisite Lenders and such request and any action taken or failure to act
pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of Lenders (and Bank Product Providers).
Notice of Default or Event of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have15.5
knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to
defaults in the payment of principal, interest, fees, and expenses required to be paid to Agent for
the account of Lenders and, except with respect to Events of Default of which Agent has actual
knowledge, unless Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or Borrowers referring
to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default, and stating that such notice is a
“notice of default.” Agent promptly will notify Lenders of its receipt of any such notice or of any
Event of Default of which Agent has actual knowledge. If any Lender obtains actual knowledge
of any Event of Default, such Lender promptly shall notify the other Lenders and Agent of such
Event of Default. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for giving any notices to its
Participants, if any. Subject to Section 15.4 Agent shall take such action with respect to such
Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Required Lenders in accordance with
Section 9; provided, however, that, unless and until Agent has received any such request, Agent
may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with
respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable.
Credit Decision. Each Lender (and Bank Product Provider) acknowledges that15.6
none of the Agent-Related Persons has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act
by Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of Parent and its Subsidiaries or
Affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related
Person to any Lender (or Bank Product Provider). Each Lender represents (and by its acceptance
of the benefits of the Loan Documents, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to represent)
to Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and
based on such due diligence, documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its
own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial
and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrowers or any other Person party to a Loan
Document, and all applicable bank regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated
hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to
Borrowers. Each Lender also represents (and by its acceptance of the benefits of the Loan
Documents, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to represent) that it will, independently
and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and
information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis,
77
appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the
business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of
Borrowers or any other Person party to a Loan Document. Except for notices, reports, and other
documents expressly herein required to be furnished to Lenders by Agent, Agent shall not have
any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender (or Bank Product Provider) with any credit or
other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other
condition or creditworthiness of Borrowers or any other Person party to a Loan Document that
may come into the possession of any of the Agent-Related Persons. Each Lender acknowledges
(and by its acceptance of the benefits of the Loan Documents, each Bank Product Provider shall
be deemed to acknowledge) that Agent does not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or
on a continuing basis (except to the extent, if any, that is expressly specified herein) to provide
such Lender (or Bank Product Provider) with any credit or other information with respect to
Borrowers, its Affiliates or any of their respective business, legal, financial or other affairs, and
irrespective of whether such information came into Agent’s or its Affiliates’ or representatives’
possession before or after the date on which such Lender became a party to this Agreement (or
such Bank Product Provider entered into a Bank Product Agreement).
Costs and Expenses; Indemnification. Agent may incur and pay Lender Group15.7
Expenses to the extent Agent reasonably deems necessary or appropriate for the performance and
fulfillment of its functions, powers, and obligations pursuant to the Loan Documents, including
court costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses, fees and expenses of financial accountants, advisors,
consultants, and appraisers, costs of collection by outside collection agencies, auctioneer fees and
expenses, and costs of security guards or insurance premiums paid to maintain the Collateral,
whether or not Borrowers are obligated to reimburse Agent or Lenders for such expenses
pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise. Agent is authorized and directed to deduct and retain
sufficient amounts from the Collections of Parent and its Subsidiaries received by Agent to
reimburse Agent for such out-of-pocket costs and expenses prior to the distribution of any
amounts to Lenders (or Bank Product Providers). In the event Agent is not reimbursed for such
costs and expenses by Parent or its Subsidiaries, each Lender hereby agrees that it is and shall be
obligated to pay to Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. Whether or not the transactions
contemplated hereby are consummated, Lenders shall indemnify upon demand the Agent-Related
Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrowers and without limiting the
obligation of Borrowers to do so), according to their Pro Rata Shares, from and against any and
all Indemnified Liabilities; provided, however, that, no Lender shall be liable for the payment to
any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting solely from
such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct nor shall any Lender be liable for the
obligations of any Defaulting Lender in failing to make an Advance or other extension of credit
hereunder. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse Agent upon demand
for such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any costs or out of pocket expenses (including attorneys,
accountants, advisors, and consultants fees and expenses) incurred by Agent in connection with
the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment, or enforcement
(whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of
rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document
contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that Agent is not reimbursed for such
expenses by or on behalf of Borrowers. The undertaking in this Section shall survive the payment
of all Obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement of Agent.
78
Agent in Individual Capacity. Wells Fargo and its Affiliates may make loans to,15.8
issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, provide Bank Products to, acquire
equity interests in, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory,
underwriting, or other business with Parent and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and any other
Person party to any Loan Document as though Wells Fargo were not Agent hereunder, and, in
each case, without notice to or consent of the other members of the Lender Group. The other
members of the Lender Group acknowledge (and by its acceptance of the benefits of the Loan
Documents, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to acknowledge) that, pursuant to such
activities, Wells Fargo or its Affiliates may receive information regarding Parent or its Affiliates
or any other Person party to any Loan Documents that is subject to confidentiality obligations in
favor of Parent, Borrowers or such other Person and that prohibit the disclosure of such
information to Lenders (or Bank Product Providers), and Lenders acknowledge (and by its
acceptance of the benefits of the Loan Documents, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed
to acknowledge) that, in such circumstances (and in the absence of a waiver of such
confidentiality obligations, which waiver Agent will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain),
Agent shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to them. The terms “Lender”
and “Lenders” include Wells Fargo in its individual capacity.
Successor Agent. Agent may resign as Agent upon thirty (30) days prior written15.9
notice to Lenders (unless such notice is waived by the Required Lenders) and Borrowers (unless
such notice is waived by Borrowers) and without any notice to the Bank Product Providers. If
Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall be entitled, with (so long as no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) the consent of Borrowers (such consent not to
be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned), appoint a successor Agent for Lenders (and
the Bank Product Providers). If, at the time that Agent’s resignation is effective, it is acting as the
Issuing Lender or the Swing Line Lender, such resignation shall also operate to effectuate its
resignation as the Issuing Lender or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, and it shall
automatically be relieved of any further obligation to issue Letters of Credit, to cause the
Underlying Issuer to issue Letters of Credit, or to make Swing Loans. If no successor Agent is
appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Agent, Agent may appoint, after
consulting with Lenders and Borrowers, a successor Agent. If Agent has materially breached or
failed to perform any material provision of this Agreement or of applicable law, the Required
Lenders may agree in writing to remove and replace Agent with a successor Agent from among
Lenders with (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) the consent of
Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned). In any such
event, upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor Agent hereunder, such successor
Agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers, and duties of the retiring Agent and the term
“Agent” shall mean such successor Agent and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers, and
duties as Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent,
the provisions of this Section 15 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be
taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. If no successor Agent has accepted
appointment as Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following a retiring Agent’s notice of
resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and
Lenders shall perform all of the duties of Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as Lenders
appoint a successor Agent as provided for above.
Co-Collateral Agent Determinations; Successor Co-Collateral Agents.15.10
79
Each reference in this Agreement to any action, determination, decision,(a)
consent, approval, satisfaction, acceptance, exercise of discretion or other act of, by or with
respect to “Co-Collateral Agents” shall be deemed to refer to such action, determination,
decision, consent, approval, satisfaction, acceptance, exercise of discretion or other act of or by
the Co-Collateral Agents taken, made or exercised, as the case may be, on the basis of the more
conservative credit judgment of the two Co-Collateral Agents.
Any Co-Collateral Agent may resign as Co-Collateral Agent upon thirty(b)
(30) days prior written notice to Lenders (unless such notice is waived by the Required Lenders)
and Borrowers (unless such notice is waived by Borrowers) and without any notice to the Bank
Product Providers. If a Co-Collateral Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders
shall be entitled, with (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) the consent
of Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned), appoint a
successor Co-Collateral Agent for Lenders. If no successor Co-Collateral Agent is appointed
prior to the effective date of the resignation of a Co-Collateral Agent, Agent may appoint, after
consulting with Lenders and Borrowers, a successor Co-Collateral Agent. If a Co-Collateral
Agent has materially breached or failed to perform any material provision of this Agreement or
of applicable law, the Required Lenders may agree in writing to remove and replace such
Co-Collateral Agent with a successor Co-Collateral Agent from among Lenders with (so long as
no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) the consent of Borrowers (such consent not
to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned). In any such event, upon the acceptance of
its appointment as successor Co-Collateral Agent hereunder, such successor Co-Collateral Agent
shall succeed to all the rights, powers, and duties of the retiring Co-Collateral Agent and the term
“Co-Collateral Agent” shall include such successor Co-Collateral Agent and the retiring
Co-Collateral Agent’s appointment, powers, and duties as a Co-Collateral Agent shall be
terminated. After any retiring Co-Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder as a Co-Collateral
Agent, the provisions of Section 15 applicable to it shall inure to its benefit as to any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was a Co-Collateral Agent under this Agreement. If no
successor Co-Collateral Agent has accepted appointment as a Co-Collateral Agent by the date
which is thirty (30) days following a retiring Co-Collateral Agent’s notice of resignation, the
retiring Co-Collateral Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and
Lenders shall perform all of the duties of Co-Collateral Agent hereunder until such time, if any,
as Lenders appoint a successor Co-Collateral Agent as provided for above.
Lender in Individual Capacity. Any Lender and its respective Affiliates may15.11
make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, provide Bank
Products to, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust,
financial advisory, underwriting, or other business with Parent and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates
and any other Person party to any Loan Documents as though such Lender were not a Lender
hereunder without notice to or consent of the other members of the Lender Group (or the Bank
Product Providers). The other members of the Lender Group acknowledge (and by its acceptance
of the benefits of the Loan Documents, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to
acknowledge) that, pursuant to such activities, such Lender and its respective Affiliates may
receive information regarding Parent or its Affiliates or any other Person party to any Loan
Documents that is subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of Parent, Borrowers or such
other Person and that prohibit the disclosure of such information to Lenders, and Lenders
acknowledge (and by its acceptance of the benefits of the Loan Documents, each Bank Product
80
Provider shall be deemed to acknowledge) that, in such circumstances (and in the absence of a
waiver of such confidentiality obligations, which waiver such Lender will use its reasonable best
efforts to obtain), such Lender shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to
them.
Collateral Matters.15.12
The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize (and by its acceptance of the(a)
benefits of the Loan Documents, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to authorize)
Agent to release any Lien on any Collateral and, subject to the terms thereof, terminate any
guarantees, in each case (i) upon the termination of the Commitments and payment and
satisfaction in full by Borrowers of all Obligations, (ii) constituting property being sold or
disposed of if a release is required or desirable in connection therewith and if Borrowers certify
to Agent that the sale or disposition is permitted under Section 6.4 (and Agent may rely
conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry), (iii) constituting property in which
Parent or its Subsidiaries owned no interest at the time Agent’s Lien was granted nor at any time
thereafter, or (iv) constituting property leased to Parent or its Subsidiaries under a lease that has
expired or is terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement. The Lenders hereby
irrevocably authorize (and by its acceptance of the benefits of the Loan Documents, each Bank
Product Provider shall be deemed to authorize) Agent, based upon the instruction of the Required
Lenders, to credit bid and purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles)
all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale thereof conducted by Agent under the provisions of
the Code, including pursuant to Sections 9-610 or 9-620 of the Code, at any sale thereof
conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including Section 363 of the Bankruptcy
Code, or at any sale or foreclosure conducted by Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise)
in accordance with applicable law. Except as provided above, Agent will not execute and deliver
a release of any Lien on any Collateral without the prior written authorization of (A) if the release
is of all or substantially all of the Collateral, all of Lenders (without requiring the authorization of
the Bank Product Providers), or (B) otherwise, the Required Lenders (without requiring the
authorization of the Bank Product Providers). Upon request by Agent or Borrowers at any time,
Lenders will (and is so requested, the Bank Product Providers will) confirm in writing Agent’s
authority to release any such Liens on particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this
Section 15.12; provided, however, that, (1) Agent shall not be required to execute any document
necessary to evidence such release on terms that, in Agent’s opinion, would expose Agent to
liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Lien
without recourse, representation, or warranty, and (2) such release shall not in any manner
discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being
released) upon (or obligations of Borrowers in respect of) all interests retained by Borrowers,
including, the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.
The Lenders further hereby irrevocably authorize (and by its acceptance of the benefits of the
Loan Documents, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to authorize) Agent, at its option
and in its sole discretion, to: (x) subordinate any Lien granted to or held by Agent under any Loan
Document to the holder of any Permitted Lien on such property if such Permitted Lien secures
Permitted Purchase Money Indebtedness and (y) release any Lien with respect to Equipment
only, upon the full and final payment and satisfaction of all Obligations in respect of the Term
Loan.
81
Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any of Lenders (or the Bank(b)
Product Providers) to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by Parent or its Subsidiaries or
is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, or that Agent’s Liens have been
properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, or enforced or are entitled to any
particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care,
disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted
or available to Agent pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that
in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission, or event related thereto, subject to the terms and
conditions contained herein, Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole
discretion given Agent’s own interest in the Collateral in its capacity as one of Lenders and that
Agent shall have no other duty or liability whatsoever to any Lender (or Bank Product Provider)
as to any of the foregoing, except as otherwise provided herein.
Restrictions on Actions by Lenders; Sharing of Payments.15.13
Each of the Lenders agrees that it shall not, without the express written(a)
consent of Agent, and that it shall, to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so, upon the written
request of Agent, set off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by such Lender to Parent or
its Subsidiaries or any deposit accounts of Parent or its Subsidiaries now or hereafter maintained
with such Lender. Each of the Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically
requested to do so in writing by Agent, take or cause to be taken any action, including, the
commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings to enforce any Loan Document against
Borrowers or any Guarantor or to foreclose any Lien on, or otherwise enforce any security
interest in, any of the Collateral.
If, at any time or times any Lender shall receive (i) by payment,(b)
foreclosure, setoff, or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the
Obligations, except for any such proceeds or payments received by such Lender from Agent
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or (i) payments from Agent in excess of such Lender’s
Pro Rata Share of all such distributions by Agent, such Lender promptly shall (A) turn the same
over to Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to
Agent, or in immediately available funds, as applicable, for the account of all of the Lenders and
for application to the Obligations in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement,
or (B) purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in the
Obligations owed to the other Lenders so that such excess payment received shall be applied
ratably as among Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares; provided, however, that, to
the extent that such excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from
it, those purchases of participations shall be rescinded in whole or in part, as applicable, and the
applicable portion of the purchase price paid therefor shall be returned to such purchasing party,
but without interest except to the extent that such purchasing party is required to pay interest in
connection with the recovery of the excess payment.
Agency for Perfection. Agent hereby appoints each other Lender (and each Bank15.14
Product Provider) as its agent (and each Lender hereby accepts (and by its acceptance of the
benefits of the Loan Documents, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to accept) such
appointment) for the purpose of perfecting Agent’s Liens in assets which, in accordance with
Article 8 or Article 9, as applicable, of the Code can be perfected by possession or control.
82
Should any Lender obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify
Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Agent’s request therefor shall deliver possession or control of
such Collateral to Agent or in accordance with Agent’s instructions.
Payments by Agent to Lenders. All payments to be made by Agent to Lenders15.15
(or Bank Product Providers) shall be made by bank wire transfer of immediately available funds
pursuant to such wire transfer instructions as each party may designate for itself by written notice
to Agent. Concurrently with each such payment, Agent shall identify whether such payment (or
any portion thereof) represents principal, premium, fees, or interest of the Obligations.
Concerning the Collateral and Related Loan Documents. Each member of the15.16
Lender Group authorizes and directs Agent and Co-Collateral Agents to enter into this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each member of the Lender Group agrees (and by its
acceptance of the benefits of the Loan Documents, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed
to agree) that any action taken by Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents relating to the Collateral and the exercise by Agent and Co-Collateral
Agents, as the case may be, of its or their powers set forth therein or herein, together with such
other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of Lenders (and
such Bank Product Provider).
Audits and Examination Reports; Confidentiality; Disclaimers by Lenders; 15.17
Other Reports and Information. By becoming a party to this Agreement, each Lender:
is deemed to have requested that Agent furnish such Lender, promptly(a)
after it becomes available, a copy of each field audit or examination report respecting Parent or
its Subsidiaries (each a “Report” and collectively, “Reports”) prepared by or at the request of
Agent, and Agent shall so furnish each Lender with such Reports,
expressly agrees and acknowledges that Agent does not (i) make any(b)
representation or warranty as to the accuracy of any Report, and (ii) shall not be liable for any
information contained in any Report,
expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Reports are not comprehensive(c)
audits or examinations, that Agent or other party performing any audit or examination will
inspect only specific information regarding Parent and its Subsidiaries and will rely significantly
upon Parent’s, Borrowers’ and their respective Subsidiaries’ books and records, as well as on
representations of Borrowers’ personnel,
agrees to keep all Reports and other material, non-public information(d)
regarding Parent, Borrowers and their respective Subsidiaries and their operations, assets, and
existing and contemplated business plans in a confidential manner in accordance with Section
17.9 and
without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision(e)
contained in this Agreement, agrees: (i) to hold Agent and any other Lender preparing a Report
harmless from any action the indemnifying Lender may take or fail to take or any conclusion the
indemnifying Lender may reach or draw from any Report in connection with any loans or other
83
credit accommodations that the indemnifying Lender has made or may make to Borrowers, or the
indemnifying Lender’s participation in, or the indemnifying Lender’s purchase of, a loan or loans
of Borrowers, and (ii) to pay and protect, and indemnify, defend and hold Agent, and any such
other Lender preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings,
damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including, attorneys fees and costs) incurred by
Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report as the direct or indirect result of any third
parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender.
In addition to the foregoing: (A) any Lender may from time to time request of Agent in
writing that Agent provide to such Lender a copy of any report or document provided by Parent,
any Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries to Agent that has not been
contemporaneously provided by Parent, Borrowers or such Subsidiary to such Lender, and, upon
receipt of such request, Agent promptly shall provide a copy of same to such Lender, (B) to the
extent that Agent is entitled, under any provision of the Loan Documents, to request additional
reports or information from Parent, Borrowers or their respective Subsidiaries, any Lender may,
from time to time, reasonably request Agent to exercise such right as specified in such Lender’s
notice to Agent, whereupon Agent promptly shall request of Borrowers the additional reports or
information reasonably specified by such Lender, and, upon receipt thereof from Parent,
Borrowers or such Subsidiary, Agent promptly shall provide a copy of same to such Lender, and
(C) any time that Agent renders to Borrowers a statement regarding the Loan Account, Agent
shall send a copy of such statement to each Lender.
Several Obligations; No Liability. Notwithstanding that certain of the Loan15.18
Documents now or hereafter may have been or will be executed only by or in favor of Agent in
its capacity as such, and not by or in favor of Lenders, any and all obligations on the part of
Agent (if any) to make any credit available hereunder shall constitute the several (and not joint)
obligations of the respective Lenders on a ratable basis, according to their respective
Commitments, to make an amount of such credit not to exceed, in principal amount, at any one
time outstanding, the amount of their respective Commitments. Nothing contained herein shall
confer upon any Lender any interest in, or subject any Lender to any liability for, or in respect of,
the business, assets, profits, losses, or liabilities of any other Lender. Each Lender shall be solely
responsible for notifying its Participants of any matters relating to the Loan Documents to the
extent any such notice may be required, and no Lender shall have any obligation, duty, or liability
to any Participant of any other Lender. Except as provided in Section 15.7, no member of the
Lender Group shall have any liability for the acts of any other member of the Lender Group. No
Lender shall be responsible to Borrowers or any other Person for any failure by any other Lender
(or Bank Product Provider) to fulfill its obligations to make credit available hereunder, nor to
advance for such Lender (or Bank Product Provider) or on its behalf, nor to take any other action
on behalf of such Lender (or Bank Product Provider) hereunder or in connection with the
financing contemplated herein.
WITHHOLDING TAXES.16.
All payments made by Borrowers hereunder or under any note or other(a)
Loan Document will be made without setoff, counterclaim, or other defense. In addition, all such
payments will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present
or future Taxes, and in the event any deduction or withholding of Taxes is required, Borrowers
84
shall comply with the next sentence of this Section 16(a). If any Taxes are so levied or imposed,
Borrowers agree to pay the full amount of such Taxes and such additional amounts as may be
necessary so that every payment of all amounts due under this Agreement, any note, or Loan
Document, including any amount paid pursuant to this Section 16(a) after withholding or
deduction for or on account of any Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for herein;
provided, however, that, Borrowers shall not be required to increase any such amounts if the
increase in such amount payable results from Agent’s or such Lender’s own willful misconduct
or gross negligence (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction).
Borrowers will furnish to Agent as promptly as possible after the date the payment of any Tax is
due pursuant to applicable law, certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by
Borrowers.
Borrowers agree to pay any present or future stamp, value added or(b)
documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges, or similar levies that arise from
any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery, performance, recordation, or filing
of, or otherwise with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
If a Lender or Participant is entitled to claim an exemption or reduction(c)
from United States withholding tax, such Lender or Participant agrees with and in favor of
Agent, to deliver to Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to Lender granting the participation
only) one of the following before receiving its first payment under this Agreement:
if such Lender or Participant is entitled to claim an exemption from(i)
United States withholding tax pursuant to the portfolio interest exception, (A) a statement of
Lender or Participant, signed under penalty of perjury, that it is not a (I) a “bank” as described in
Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the IRC, (II) a ten (10%) percent shareholder of Borrowers (within the
meaning of Section 87l(h)(3)(B) of the IRC), or (III) a controlled foreign corporation related to
Borrowers within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the IRC, and (B) a properly completed and
executed IRS Form W-8BEN or Form W-8IMY (with proper attachments);
if such Lender or Participant is entitled to claim an exemption(ii)
from, or a reduction of, withholding tax under a United States tax treaty, a properly completed
and executed copy of IRS Form W-8BEN;
if such Lender or Participant is entitled to claim that interest paid(iii)
under this Agreement is exempt from United States withholding tax because it is effectively
connected with a United States trade or business of such Lender, a properly completed and
executed copy of IRS Form W-8ECI;
if such Lender or Participant is entitled to claim that interest paid(iv)
under this Agreement is exempt from United States withholding tax because such Lender or
Participant serves as an intermediary, a properly completed and executed copy of IRS Form
W-81MY (with proper attachments); or
a properly completed and executed copy of any other form or(v)
forms, including IRS Form W-9, as may be required under the IRC or other laws of the United
85
States as a condition to exemption from, or reduction of, United States withholding or backup
withholding tax.
Each Lender or Participant shall provide new forms (or successor forms) upon the
expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered forms and to promptly notify Agent (or, in
the case of a Participant, to Lender granting the participation only) of any change in
circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction.
If a Lender or Participant claims an exemption from withholding tax in a(d)
jurisdiction other than the United States, such Lender or such Participant agrees with and in favor
of Agent, to deliver to Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to Lender granting the participation
only) any such form or forms, as may be required under the laws of such jurisdiction as a
condition to exemption from, or reduction of, foreign withholding or backup withholding tax
before receiving its first payment under this Agreement, but only if such Lender or such
Participant is legally able to deliver such forms; provided, however, that, nothing in this Section
16(d) shall require a Lender or Participant to disclose any information that it deems to be
confidential (including without limitation, its tax returns). Each Lender and each Participant shall
provide new forms (or successor forms) upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously
delivered forms and to promptly notify Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to Lender granting
the participation only) of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any
claimed exemption or reduction.
If a Lender or Participant claims exemption from, or reduction of,(e)
withholding tax and such Lender or Participant sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or
otherwise transfers all or part of the Obligations of Borrowers to such Lender or Participant, such
Lender or Participant agrees to notify Agent (or, in the case of a sale of a participation interest, to
Lender granting the participation only) of the percentage amount in which it is no longer the
beneficial owner of Obligations of Borrowers to such Lender or Participant. To the extent of such
percentage amount, Agent will treat such Lender’s or such Participant’s documentation provided
pursuant to Section 16(c) or 16(d) as no longer valid. With respect to such percentage amount,
such Participant or Assignee may provide new documentation, pursuant to Section 16(c) or
16(d), if applicable. Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of this
Section 16 with respect to its participation in any portion of the Commitments and the
Obligations so long as such Participant complies with the obligations set forth in this Section 16
with respect thereto.
If a Lender or a Participant is entitled to a reduction in the applicable(f)
withholding tax, Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to Lender granting the participation) may
withhold from any interest payment to such Lender or such Participant an amount equivalent to
the applicable withholding tax after taking into account such reduction. If the forms or other
documentation required by Section 16(c) or 16(d) are not delivered to Agent (or, in the case of a
Participant, to Lender granting the participation), then Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to
Lender granting the participation) may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender or
such Participant not providing such forms or other documentation an amount equivalent to the
applicable withholding tax.
86
If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority of(g)
the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that Agent (or, in the case of a Participant,
to Lender granting the participation) did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for
the account of any Lender or any Participant due to a failure on the part of Lender or any
Participant (because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or
because such Lender failed to notify Agent (or such Participant failed to notify Lender granting
the participation) of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction
of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason) such Lender shall indemnify and hold
Agent harmless (or, in the case of a Participant, such Participant shall indemnify and hold Lender
granting the participation harmless) for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by Agent (or, in
the case of a Participant, to Lender granting the participation), as tax or otherwise, including
penalties and interest, and including any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts
payable to Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to Lender granting the participation only) under
this Section 16 together with all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses). The
obligation of Lenders and the Participants under this subsection shall survive the payment of all
Obligations and the resignation or replacement of Agent.
If Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a(h)
refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrowers or with respect to which
Borrowers have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 16, so long as no Default or
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, it shall pay over such refund to Borrowers (but
only to the extent of payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrowers under this
Section 16 with respect to Taxes giving rise to such a refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses
of Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant
Governmental Authority with respect to such a refund); provided, that, Borrowers, upon the
request of Agent or such Lender, agree to repay the amount paid over to Borrowers (plus any
penalties, interest or other charges, imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority, other than
such penalties, interest or other charges imposed as a result of the willful misconduct or gross
negligence of Agent hereunder) to Agent or such Lender in the event Agent or such Lender is
required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, this Section 16 shall not be construed to require Agent or any Lender
to make available its tax returns (or any other information which it deems confidential) to
Borrowers or any other Person.
GENERAL PROVISIONS.17.
Effectiveness. This Agreement shall be binding and deemed effective when17.1
executed by Parent, Borrowers, Agent, and each Lender whose signature is provided for on the
signature pages hereof and Agent shall have received counterparts of each such signature page.
Section Headings. Headings and numbers have been set forth herein for17.2
convenience only. Unless the contrary is compelled by the context, everything contained in each
Section applies equally to this entire Agreement.
Interpretation. Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein17.3
shall be construed against the Lender Group or Parent or Borrowers, whether under any rule of
construction or otherwise. On the contrary, this Agreement has been reviewed by all parties and
87
shall be construed and interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as to
accomplish fairly the purposes and intentions of all parties hereto.
Severability of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement shall be severable17.4
from every other provision of this Agreement for the purpose of determining the legal
enforceability of any specific provision.
Bank Product Providers. Each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed a third17.5
party beneficiary hereof and of the provisions of the other Loan Documents for purposes of any
reference in a Loan Document to the parties for whom Agent is acting. Agent hereby agrees to
act as agent for such Bank Product Providers and, by virtue of providing a Bank Product, each
Bank Product Provider shall be automatically deemed to have appointed Agent as its agent; it
being understood and agreed that the rights and benefits of each Bank Product Provider under the
Loan Documents consist exclusively of such Bank Product Provider’s being a beneficiary of the
Liens and security interests (and, if applicable, guarantees) granted to Agent and the right to
share in payments and collections out of the Collateral as more fully set forth herein. In
connection with any such distribution of payments and collections, Agent shall be entitled to
assume no amounts are owing to any Bank Product Provider unless such Bank Product Provider
has provided written notification to Agent of the amount that is owing to it and such notification
is received by Agent a reasonable period of time prior to the making of such distribution.
Debtor-Creditor Relationship. The relationship between Lenders and Agent, on17.6
the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other hand, is solely that of creditor and debtor. No
member of the Lender Group has (or shall be deemed to have) any fiduciary relationship or duty
to any Loan Party arising out of or in connection with the Loan Documents or the transactions
contemplated thereby, and there is no agency or joint venture relationship between the members
of the Lender Group, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other hand, by virtue of any
Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein.
Counterparts; Electronic Execution. This Agreement may be executed in any17.7
number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when
executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together,
shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this
Agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission shall be equally as
effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering
an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic method of
transmission also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Agreement but the failure
to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and
binding effect of this Agreement. The foregoing shall apply to each other Loan Document
mutatis mutandis.
Revival and Reinstatement of Obligations. If the incurrence or payment of the17.8
Obligations by Borrowers or Guarantor or the transfer to the Lender Group of any property
should for any reason subsequently be asserted, or declared, to be void or voidable under any
