As a result, it is possible that the London Interbank Offered Rate may no longer be available after such date or may no longer be deemed an appropriate reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on LIBOR Loans. Section 4.9 provides a mechanism for (a) determining an alternative rate of interest in the event that LIBOR (or any then-current Benchmark, as defined in Section 4.9) or any component thereof is no longer available or in the other circumstances set forth in that Section and (b) modifying this Agreement to give effect to such alternative rate of interest.

References herein to a component of, or a published component used in the calculation of, LIBOR are deemed to include the Screen Rate.

2.4.2 Each Revolving Credit Lender, acting in its sole discretion and with no obligations to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.4, shall, within ten (10) days after the Borrowers’ request, provide a preliminary indication to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent with respect to such proposed Revolving Credit Commitment increase, and within thirty (30) days after the Borrowers’ request, provide written notice to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent of its final decision. Any such Revolving Credit Lender may accept all of its Pro Rata Percentage of such increase, a portion of such increase, or decline to accept any of such increase in the Revolving Credit Commitment. If any Revolving Credit Lender shall not have responded affirmatively within such ten (10) day period, such Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to have rejected the Borrowers’ request for an increase in the Revolving Credit Commitment in full. Promptly following the conclusion of such ten (10) day period, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers of the results of such request to the Revolving Credit Lenders to so increase the Revolving Credit Commitment by the Requested Increase Amount.

2.4.3 If the aggregate amount of the increase in the Revolving Credit Commitments which the Revolving Credit Lenders have accepted in accordance with subsection 2.4.2 is less than the Requested Increase Amount, the Administrative Agent shall provide notice to the other Revolving Credit Lenders, and the other Revolving Credit Lenders shall have a five (5) day period in which to provide the Administrative Agent written notice to provide the remaining Requested Increase Amount. If two or more Revolving Credit Lenders offer to provide the remaining Requested Increase Amount, such Revolving Credit Lenders shall divide such amount in accordance with their Pro Rata Percentage prior to giving effect to the increase to the Revolving Credit Maximum Amount.

2.4.4 The effectiveness of all such increases in the Revolving Credit Maximum Amount are subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:

(i) the Administrative Agent shall have approved the Requested Increase Amount;

(ii) the Borrowers shall have delivered a Revolving Credit Note including the Requested Increase Amount to any Revolving Credit Lender providing such increase;

(iii) the Borrowers shall have paid the fees set forth in the Fee Letter and any other fees and other amounts under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

(iv) the representations and warranties of each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries in the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (or, as to any representations and warranties which are subject to a materiality or Material Adverse Effect qualifier, true and correct in all respects) on the date hereof, and upon giving effect to, any funding of the Requested Increase Amount (except for representations and warranties that expressly relate to an earlier date);

(v) no Default or Event of Default exists or would result after giving effect to the funding of such Requested Increase Amount;

(vi) since the Closing Date, there has not been any material adverse change in the business, assets, financial condition, income, performance or operations of any Loan Party and no event or condition exists which would be reasonably likely to result in any Material Adverse Effect;

(vii) the Borrowers shall have delivered a certificate of a responsible officer of the Borrowers as to the matters set forth in clauses (iv)-(vi) of this subsection 2.4.4.

2.4.5 Schedule 1 shall be updated to reflect any increase of the Revolving Credit Maximum Amount as set forth in this Section 2.4.

2.4.6 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Ineligible Lender shall provide any Requested Increase Amount.

Article III. INTEREST, FEES AND CHARGES

3.1 Interest.

3.1.1 Rates of Interest. Interest shall accrue on the principal amount of the Base Rate Loans outstanding at the end of each day at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect plus the Base Rate; provided that in no event shall the Applicable Margin then in effect plus the Base Rate at any time be less than the Applicable Margin plus two percent (2%) per annum. Such rate of interest shall increase or decrease by an amount equal to any increase or decrease in the Base Rate, effective as of the opening of business on the day that any such change in the Base Rate occurs. If Borrower Representative, on its own behalf and on behalf of all other Borrowers, exercises the LIBOR Option as provided in Section 4.1, interest shall accrue on the principal amount of the LIBOR Loans outstanding at the end of each day at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect plus LIBOR applicable to each LIBOR Loan for the corresponding Interest Period; provided that in no event shall the Applicable Margin then in effect plus LIBOR applicable to such LIBOR Loan at any time be less than the Applicable Margin then in effect plus one percent (1%) per annum.

3.1.2 Default Rate of Interest. At the option of Administrative Agent, upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and during the continuation thereof, all Obligations shall bear interest or earn fees at a rate per annum equal to 2.0% plus the rate otherwise applicable thereto (the “Default Rate”).

3.1.3 Maximum Interest. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan or any extension of credit under the Loan Documents, together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Loan or extension of credit under Applicable Law (collectively, “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by any Lender, Agent or Issuing Bank in accordance with Applicable Law, the rate of interest payable hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate. To the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been paid in respect of such Loan or extension of credit but were not paid as a result of the operation of this subsection shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender, Agent or Issuing Bank shall be increased (but not above the amount collectible at the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for each day to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender, Agent or Issuing Bank. Any amount collected by such Lender, Agent or Issuing Bank that exceeds the maximum amount collectible at the Maximum Rate shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of such Loan or extension of credit or refunded to Borrowers so that at no time shall the interest and Charges paid or payable in respect of such Loan or extension of credit exceed the maximum amount collectible at the Maximum Rate. To the extent Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code is relevant to such Lender, Agent or Issuing Bank for purposes of determining the Maximum Rate, such Lender, Agent or Issuing Bank may elect to determine the Maximum Rate under the Texas Finance Code pursuant to the “weekly ceiling” from time to time in effect, as referred to in Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code; subject, however, to any right such Lender, Agent or Issuing Bank subsequently may have under Applicable Law to change the method of determining the Maximum Rate.

3.2 Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest with respect to Base Rate Loans, LIBOR Loans, Letter of Credit fees and Unused Line Fees hereunder shall be calculated daily and shall be computed on the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days and a 30-day month (unless computation would result in an interest rate in excess of the Maximum Rate, in which event the computation is made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be).

3.3 Fee Letter. Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent certain fees and other amounts in accordance with the terms of the fee letter between Borrowers and Administrative Agent (the “Fee Letter”).

3.4 Letter of Credit Fees. Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent (i) for the ratable benefit of Revolving Credit Lenders, a per annum fee equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect for LIBOR Revolving Credit Loans multiplied by the aggregate undrawn available amount of such Letters of Credit outstanding from time to time during the term of this Agreement, (ii) for the benefit of Issuing Bank, all normal and customary charges associated with the issuance, processing and administration thereof, which fees and charges shall be deemed fully earned upon issuance of each such Letter of Credit or as advised by Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank, and (iii) for the benefit of Issuing Bank, a per annum fronting fee equal to 0.125% of the aggregate face amount of such Letters of Credit outstanding from time to time during the term of this Agreement. Such fees and charges shall be payable in arrears on each LC Fee Payment Date or as advised by Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank and shall not be subject to rebate or proration upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason.

3.5 Unused Line Fees.

3.5.1 On each Fee Payment Date, Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, a commitment fee equal to the sum of the Revolving Daily Unused Fee Amounts for each day of the Fee Period immediately preceding such Fee Payment Date. On the Revolving Termination Date, Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, a commitment fee equal to the sum of the Revolving Daily Unused Fee Amounts for each day of the period from the immediately preceding Fee Payment Date up to but not including the Revolving Termination Date.

3.5.2 On each Fee Payment Date, Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, a commitment fee equal to the sum of the Term Loan Daily Unused Fee Amounts for each day of the Fee Period immediately preceding such Fee Payment Date. On the Term Loan Termination Date, Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, a commitment fee equal to the sum of the Term Loan Daily Unused Fee Amounts for each day of the period from the immediately preceding Fee Payment Date up to but not including the Term Loan Termination Date.

3.5.3 The fees in this Section shall be due and payable in arrears on each Fee Payment Date, the Revolving Termination Date, and the Term Loan Termination Date.

3.6 [Reserved].

3.7 Reimbursement of Expenses. If, at any time or times regardless of whether or not an Event of Default then exists, (i) any Agent incurs legal or accounting expenses or any other costs or out-of-pocket expenses in connection with (a) the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, any amendment of or modification of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any syndication or attempted syndication of the Obligations (including, without limitation, printing and distribution of materials to prospective Lenders and all costs associated with bank meetings, but excluding any closing fees paid to Lenders in connection therewith) or (b) the administration of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, or (ii) any Agent or any Lender incurs legal or accounting expenses or any other costs or out-of-pocket expenses in connection with (a) any litigation, contest, dispute, suit, proceeding or action (whether instituted by any Agent, any Lender, any Borrower or any other Person) relating to the Collateral, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any Borrower’s, any of its Subsidiaries’ or any Guarantor’s affairs, (b) any attempt to enforce any rights of Administrative Agent or any Lender against any Borrower or any other Person which may be obligated to Administrative Agent or any Lender by virtue of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or (c) any attempt to inspect, verify, protect, preserve, restore, collect, sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of or realize upon the Collateral, including, without limitation, any excise, property, sales, and use taxes imposed by any state, federal, or local authority on any of the Collateral or in respect of the sale thereof; then all such legal and accounting expenses, other costs and out-of-pocket expenses of Administrative Agent or any Lender, as applicable, shall be charged to Borrowers; provided, that, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii), any such legal expenses shall be limited to one counsel for Administrative Agent and one local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction, if necessary, and, in the case of clause (ii), one additional counsel for all Lenders other than Administrative Agent. All amounts chargeable to Borrowers under this Section 3.7 shall be Obligations secured by all of the Collateral, shall be payable on demand to Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and shall bear interest from the date such demand is made until paid in full at the rate applicable to Base Rate Revolving Credit Loans from time to time. Borrowers shall also reimburse Administrative Agent for expenses incurred by any Agent to the extent and in the manner provided in Sections 3.8 and 3.9 hereof.

3.8 Bank Charges. Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent, on demand, any and all fees, costs or expenses which Administrative Agent or any Lender pays to a bank or other similar institution arising out of or in connection with (i) the forwarding to any Borrower or any other Person on behalf of any Borrower, by Administrative Agent or any Lender, of proceeds of Loans made to Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) the depositing for collection by Administrative Agent or any Lender of any check or item of payment received or delivered to Administrative Agent or any Lender on account of the Obligations.

3.9 Appraisals; Field Examinations. Each Loan Party will permit, and will cause each Subsidiary to permit, each Agent and its representatives to (i) conduct field examinations with respect to the Collateral and (iii) after the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan exceeds $500,000, obtain full or desktop appraisals (or updates of existing appraisals) of all Equipment of each Loan Party or Subsidiary in form and substance satisfactory to Collateral Agent from an appraiser selected and engaged by Collateral Agent, provided that, no more than one appraisal and two field examinations during any calendar year will be at Borrowers’ cost and expense, unless (i) an Excess Availability Triggering Event has occurred and until such Cure Date, or (ii) a Default or an Event of Default exists, in which case one additional appraisal (for the avoidance of doubt, permitted regardless of the then outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan) and one additional field examination per calendar year will be at Borrowers’ cost and expense. Administrative Agent may, in its discretion upon prior notice to Borrowers, provide for the payment of such amounts by making appropriate Revolving Credit Loans to Borrowers and charging Borrowers’ Loan Account therefor.

3.10 Payment of Charges. All amounts chargeable to Borrowers under this Agreement shall be Obligations secured by all of the Collateral, shall be, unless specifically otherwise provided, payable on demand and shall bear interest from the date demand was made or such amount is due, as applicable, until paid in full at the rate applicable to Base Rate Revolving Credit Loans from time to time.

3.11 Taxes.

3.11.1 No Deductions. Any and all payments or reimbursements made hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, other than Excluded Taxes (collectively, “Indemnified Taxes”). If Applicable Law requires a deduction for any such Indemnified Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank or any Lender, then the sum payable hereunder shall be increased as may be necessary so that, after all required deductions are made, Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank or such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made.

3.11.2 Indemnification for Taxes. The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank and each Lender, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes payable or paid by Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank or such Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank or such Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability prepared in good faith and delivered to the Loan Parties by Issuing Bank or a Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of Issuing Bank or a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Agreement, the obligation of the Loan Parties under this Section 3.11 shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

3.11.3 Status of Lenders. Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to any payments made hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to Borrowers and Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Loan Parties or Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Loan Parties or Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Loan Parties or Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Loan Parties or Administrative Agent as will the Loan Parties, Borrowers or Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(i) each U.S. Lender shall deliver to the Loan Parties and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Loan Parties or Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding;

(ii) each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Loan Parties and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Loan Parties or Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(a) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding, and such other documentation as required by the Code;

(b) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms);

(c) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or Section 881I of the Code, (x) certificates substantially in the form of Exhibit 3.11 (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN (or any successor form); or

(d) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor form), accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents (or successor forms) from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided, that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership (and not a participating lender) and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate may be provided by such Foreign Lender on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

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

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

Each Lender agrees that if any documentation it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall promptly update such documentation or promptly notify the Loan Parties and Administrative Agent in writing of its inability to do so. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this subsection 3.11.3, a Lender shall not be required to deliver any documentation that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver.

3.12 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Documents, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(i) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

(ii) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(a) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(b) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(c) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

Article IV. LOAN ADMINISTRATION

4.1 Procedures for Borrowing and LIBOR Option. Borrowings under the credit facility established pursuant to Section 2 hereof shall be as follows:

4.1.1 Loan Requests. Requests for a Revolving Credit Loan shall be made, or shall be deemed to be made, in the following manner:

(i) Borrower Representative, on its own behalf and on behalf of all other Borrowers, may give Administrative Agent notice of its intention to borrow, in which notice Borrower Representative shall specify the amount of the proposed borrowing of a Revolving Credit Loan (which shall be no less than $500,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof in the case of Base Rate Revolving Credit Loans) and the proposed borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day, no later than 11:00 a.m. (Central time) on the proposed borrowing date (or in accordance with subsection 4.1.7 or 4.1.8, as applicable, in the case of a request for a LIBOR Loan). There shall be no minimum borrowing amount for Base Rate Revolving Credit Loans during the period of time Cash Dominion is in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a notice of its intention to borrow shall not be required to be delivered if the Borrowers and Administrative Agent have implemented automatic sweep to line functionality such that Revolving Credit Loans are automatically funded to the Borrowers’ operating account to fund the payments of disbursements from such operating account.

(ii) On the date on which any amount required to be paid under this Agreement, whether as interest, repayment of LC Obligations pursuant to Section 2.2, or for any other Obligation, becomes due and payable, Borrower Representative, on its own behalf and on behalf of all other Borrowers, shall be deemed irrevocably to have made a request for a Revolving Credit Loan on such due date in the amount required to pay such interest or other Obligation.

4.1.2 Disbursement. The proceeds of each Revolving Credit Loan requested pursuant to subsection 4.1.1(i) shall be disbursed by Administrative Agent in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds, in the case of the initial requested borrowing, in accordance with the terms of the written disbursement letter from Borrower Representative, on its own behalf and on behalf of all other Borrowers, and in the case of each subsequent requested borrowing, by wire transfer to such bank account as may be agreed upon by Borrowers and Administrative Agent from time to time or elsewhere if pursuant to a written direction from Borrower Representative. The proceeds of each Revolving Credit Loan that is deemed requested pursuant to subsection 4.1.1(ii) shall be disbursed by Administrative Agent in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds by way of direct payment of the relevant interest or other Obligation. If at any time any Loan is funded by Administrative Agent or Lenders in excess of the amount requested or deemed requested by Borrowers, Borrowers agree to repay the excess to Administrative Agent immediately upon the earlier to occur of (a) any Borrower’s discovery of the error and (b) notice thereof to Borrowers from Administrative Agent or any Lender.

4.1.3 Payment by Lenders. Administrative Agent shall give to each Lender prompt written notice by facsimile, e-mail or otherwise of the receipt by Administrative Agent from Borrower Representative of any request for a Revolving Credit Loan. Each such notice shall specify the requested date and amount of such Revolving Credit Loan, whether such Revolving Credit Loan shall be subject to the LIBOR Option, and the amount of each Lender’s advance thereunder (in accordance with its applicable Pro Rata Percentage). Each Lender shall, not later than 12:00 p.m. (Central time) on such requested date, wire to a bank designated by Administrative Agent the amount of that Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the requested Revolving Credit Loan. The failure of any Lender to make the Revolving Credit Loans to be made by it shall not release any other Lender of its obligations hereunder to make its Revolving Credit Loan. Neither Administrative Agent nor any other Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Revolving Credit Loan to be made by such other Lender. The foregoing notwithstanding, Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may from its own funds make a Revolving Credit Loan on behalf of any Lender. In such event, the Lender on behalf of whom Administrative Agent made the Revolving Credit Loan shall reimburse Administrative Agent for the amount of such Revolving Credit Loan made on its behalf, on a weekly (or more frequent, as determined by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) basis. On each such settlement date, Administrative Agent will pay to each Lender the net amount owing to such Lender in connection with such settlement, including without limitation amounts relating to Loans, fees, interest and other amounts payable hereunder. The entire amount of interest attributable to such Revolving Credit Loan for the period from the date on which such Revolving Credit Loan was made by Administrative Agent on such Lender’s behalf until Administrative Agent is reimbursed by such Lender, shall be paid to Administrative Agent for its own account.

4.1.4 Authorization. Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorize Administrative Agent, in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, to advance to Borrowers, and to charge to Borrowers’ Loan Account hereunder as a Revolving Credit Loan (which shall be a Base Rate Revolving Credit Loan), a sum sufficient to pay all interest accrued on the Obligations during the immediately preceding month or quarter, as the case may be, and to pay all fees, costs and expenses and other Obligations at any time owed by any Borrower to Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder.

4.1.5 [Reserved].

4.1.6 Method of Making Requests. As an accommodation to Borrowers, unless a Default or an Event of Default is then in existence, (i) Administrative Agent shall permit telephonic or electronic requests for Revolving Credit Loans to Administrative Agent, (ii) Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank may, in their discretion, permit electronic transmittal of requests for Letters of Credit to them, and (iii) Administrative Agent may, in Administrative Agent’s discretion, permit electronic transmittal of instructions, authorizations, agreements or reports to Administrative Agent. Unless Borrower Representative, on its own behalf and on behalf of all other Borrowers specifically directs Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank in writing not to accept or act upon telephonic or electronic communications from any Borrower, neither Administrative Agent nor Issuing Bank shall have any liability to Borrowers for any loss or damage suffered by any Borrower as a result of Administrative Agent’s or Issuing Bank’s honoring of any requests, execution of any instructions, authorizations or agreements or reliance on any reports communicated to it telephonically or electronically and purporting to have been sent to Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank by any Borrower, and neither Administrative Agent nor Issuing Bank shall have any duty to verify the origin of any such communication or the authority of the Person sending it. Each telephonic request for a Revolving Credit Loan or Letter of Credit accepted by Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank, if applicable, hereunder shall be promptly followed by a written confirmation of such request from Borrower Representative to Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank, if applicable.

4.1.7 LIBOR Loan Request. By delivering a borrowing request to Administrative Agent on or before 10:00 a.m., Central time, on a Business Day, Borrower Representative, on its own behalf and on behalf of each other Borrower, may from time to time irrevocably request, on not less than three nor more than five Business Days’ notice, that a LIBOR Loan be made in a minimum amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000, with an Interest Period of one, two, three or six months. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this agreement, each LIBOR Loan shall be made available to Borrowers no later than 11:00 a.m. Central time on the first day of the applicable Interest Period by deposit to the account of the applicable Borrower as shall have been specified in its borrowing request. In no event shall Borrowers be permitted to have outstanding at any one time LIBOR Loans with more than six different Interest Periods.

4.1.8 Continuation and Conversion Elections. By delivering a continuation/conversion notice to Administrative Agent on or before 10:00 a.m., Central time, on a Business Day, Borrower Representative, on its own behalf and on behalf of each other Borrower, may from time to time irrevocably elect, on not less than three nor more than five Business Days’ notice, that all, or any portion in an aggregate minimum amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000, of any LIBOR Loan be converted on the last day of an Interest Period into a LIBOR Loan with a different Interest Period, or continued on the last day of an Interest Period as a LIBOR Loan with a similar Interest Period, provided, however, that no portion of the outstanding principal amount of any LIBOR Loans may be converted to, or continued as, LIBOR Loans when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and no portion of the outstanding principal amount of any LIBOR Loans may be converted to LIBOR Loans of a different duration if such LIBOR Loans relate to any Derivative Obligations. If any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or in the absence of delivery of a continuation/conversion notice with respect to any LIBOR Loan at least three Business Days before the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, each maturing LIBOR Loan shall automatically be continued as a Base Rate Loan.

4.1.9 Voluntary Prepayment of LIBOR Loans. LIBOR Loans may be prepaid upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. For LIBOR Loans in connection with which Borrowers have or may incur Derivative Obligations, additional obligations may be associated with prepayment, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable underlying agreements relating to such Derivative Obligations. Borrower Representative, on its own behalf and on behalf of each other Borrower, shall give Administrative Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m., Central time, at least four (4) Business Days’ notice of any proposed prepayment of any LIBOR Loan, specifying the proposed date of payment of such LIBOR Loan, and the principal amount to be paid. Each partial prepayment of the principal amount of any such LIBOR Loan shall be in a minimum amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 and accompanied by the payment of all charges outstanding on such LIBOR Loans and of all accrued interest on the principal repaid to the date of payment. Borrowers acknowledge that prepayment or acceleration of a LIBOR Loan during an Interest Period applicable thereto shall result in Lenders incurring additional costs, expenses and/or liabilities and that it is extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of such costs, expenses and/or liabilities. Therefore, all full or partial prepayments of LIBOR Loans shall be accompanied by, and Borrowers hereby promise to pay, on each date a LIBOR Loan is prepaid or the date all sums payable hereunder become due and payable, by acceleration or otherwise, in addition to all other sums then owing, an amount equal to the loss, cost and expense incurred by each Lender attributable to such event (including any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund its LIBOR Loans and any loss, expense or liability relating to any currency swap entered into by such Lender to fund such LIBOR Loan, but excluding loss of anticipated profits) (“LIBOR Loan Prepayment Fee”). A certificate of any Lender setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this subsection 4.1.9 shall be delivered to Borrower Representative (with a copy to Administrative Agent) and shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error.

4.2 Payments. The Obligations shall be payable as follows:

4.2.1 Principal.

(i) Revolving Credit Loans. Principal on account of Revolving Credit Loans shall be payable by Borrowers to Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of Lenders immediately upon the earliest of (i) the occurrence of an Event of Default in consequence of which Administrative Agent or Majority Lenders elect to accelerate the maturity and payment of the Obligations, or (ii) termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 5 hereof; provided, however, that, if an Overadvance shall exist at any time, Borrowers shall, on demand, repay the Overadvance. Each payment by Borrowers on account of principal of the Revolving Credit Loans shall be applied first to Base Rate Revolving Credit Loans and then to LIBOR Revolving Credit Loans.

(ii) Term Loan. Beginning on the first day of the second full month following each Term Loan Advance, and on the first day of each month thereafter, principal payable on account of such Term Loan Advance shall be paid in equal monthly installments equal to an amount sufficient to fully amortize the aggregate outstanding principal balance of such Term Loan Advance over an assumed term ending on the date which is sixty (60) months after the first payment on such Term Loan Advance. The entire remaining principal amount then outstanding, together with any and all other amounts due in respect of the Term Loan, shall be due and payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date.

4.2.2 Interest Provisions. Interest on the outstanding principal amount of any Loan shall be payable on each applicable Interest Payment Date.

4.2.3 Costs, Fees and Charges. Costs, fees and charges payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be payable by Borrowers to Administrative Agent, as and when provided to Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank or a Lender, as applicable, or to any other Person designated by Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank or such Lender in writing.

4.2.4 Other Obligations. The balance of the Obligations requiring the payment of money, if any, shall be payable by Borrowers to Administrative Agent for distribution to Issuing Bank and Lenders, as applicable, as and when provided in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

4.2.5 LIBOR Loans. If the application of any payment made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement would result in the prepayment, in whole or in part, of a LIBOR Loan prior to the last day of the Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan, Borrowers shall pay to each Lender on the date of each such prepayment any applicable LIBOR Loan Prepayment Fees of such Lender; provided, that, if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time such payment is to be applied, the amount of such prepayment shall not be applied to such LIBOR Loan, but will, at Borrowers’ option, be held by Administrative Agent in a non-interest-bearing account at Bank, which account is in the name of Administrative Agent and from which account only Administrative Agent can make any withdrawal, in each case to be applied as such amount would otherwise have been applied hereunder at the earlier to occur of (i) the last day of the relevant Interest Period or (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default, in which case, the LIBOR Loan Prepayment Fees shall be payable upon the occurrence of such Event of Default.

4.3 Mandatory and Optional Prepayments.

4.3.1 Proceeds of Sale, Loss, Destruction or Condemnation of Collateral. Concurrently with the receipt by any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries of any Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Disposition, in an amount equal to 100% of those Net Cash Proceeds; provided that, at the option of Borrower Representative (as elected by Borrower Representative in writing to Administrative Agent on or prior to the fifth Business Day after the date of receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds), and so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrowers may reinvest all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in long-term assets used or useful in their business (such assets, “Additional Assets”) so long as such reinvestment is made within 180 days after the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds (as certified by Borrower Representative in writing to Administrative Agent); provided further, that any Net Cash Proceeds not so reinvested shall be immediately applied to the prepayment of the Loans as set forth in this Section 4.3.1 upon the expiration of such applicable period; provided, further, to the extent that (1) the assets that were subject to the Asset Disposition constituted ABL Priority Collateral or Acquisition Term Loan Priority Collateral, such Additional Assets shall also constitute ABL Priority Collateral or Acquisition Term Loan Priority Collateral, respectively (and Borrowers or their Subsidiaries, as the case may be, shall promptly take such action (if any) as may be required to cause that portion of such reinvestment constituting ABL Priority Collateral or Acquisition Term Loan Priority Collateral, as applicable, to be added to the ABL Priority Collateral or Acquisition Term Loan Priority Collateral securing the Obligations or the Acquisition Term Debt, as applicable), (2) any such Asset Disposition that consisted of or constituted any portion of ABL Priority Collateral, such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied to the Obligations, and (3) any such Asset Disposition is of assets solely constituting Acquisition Term Loan Priority Collateral that are required to be applied to the Acquisition Term Debt pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Term Loan Agreement, then the Net Cash Proceeds of such Asset Disposition shall first be applied to the Acquisition Term Debt as required under the Acquisition Term Loan Documents until the Acquisition Term Debt is Paid in Full and then to the Obligations as required hereunder. To the extent the Net Cash proceeds of any Asset Disposition are required to be applied to the Acquisition Term Debt under this Section 4.3.1 or the Intercreditor Agreement, upon the payment in full of the Acquisition Term Debt, such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied to the Obligations as set forth in this Section 4.3.1. To the extent that the Collateral sold, lost, destroyed or condemned consists of ABL Priority Collateral other than Accounts, the applicable prepayment shall be applied first, to the installments of principal due under the Term Loan ratably, to be applied to future installment payments in inverse order of maturity until paid in full, and second to repay outstanding principal of Revolving Credit Loans without a reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments. To the extent that the Collateral sold, lost, destroyed or condemned consists of Accounts, the applicable prepayment shall be applied to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Loans, without a reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments. Prior to entering into any Asset Disposition of assets which constitute Acquisition Term Loan Priority Collateral, Borrowers shall provide not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice thereof and identify if any such proceeds are being delivered to the deposit accounts subject to Control Agreements whereby Administrative Agent has a first-priority security interest therein. If Administrative Agent does not receive prior written notice that proceeds of Acquisition Term Loan Priority Collateral is being sent to such deposit accounts, Administrative Agent may presumptively rely that all cash received into the deposit account is subject to a first priority security interest, is ABL Priority Collateral, and can be applied to the Revolving Credit Loans as set forth herein.

4.3.2 Term Loan. If at any time the amount of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan exceeds 85% of NOLV of the Borrowers’ Eligible Machinery and Equipment, the Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Term Loan Lenders, as a mandatory prepayment of the Term Loan, the amount by which the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan exceeds 85% of NOLV of the Borrowers’ Eligible Machinery and Equipment.

4.3.3 Proceeds from Additional Debt. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, if any Borrower receives proceeds of any additional Debt incurred by such Borrower (other than Debt permitted pursuant to subsection 9.2.2), Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, when and as received by such Borrower and as a mandatory prepayment of the Obligations, a sum equal to 100% of the net proceeds to such Borrower of the incurrence of such Debt. Any such prepayment shall be applied to repay outstanding principal of Revolving Credit Loans without a reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments.

4.3.4 Excess Revolving Credit Extensions. If at any time the Aggregate Revolving Extensions exceed the Line Cap at such time (except as a result of Overadvances permitted under subsection 2.1.2), Borrowers shall immediately repay the Revolving Credit Loans and/or cash collateralize the Letters of Credit in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.

4.3.5 Optional Reductions of Revolving Credit Commitments. Borrowers may, at their option from time to time but not more than once in any 12-month period upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to Administrative Agent, permanently reduce ratably in part, the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments, provided, however, that (i) each such optional reduction shall be in an amount of $2,000,000 or integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (ii) the aggregate of all optional reductions to the Revolving Credit Commitments may not exceed $5,000,000 during the Term. Except for charges under subsection 4.1.9, such prepayments shall be without premium or penalty.

4.3.6 Optional Prepayments. Borrowers may, at their option from time to time upon not less than three (3) days prior written notice to Administrative Agent, prepay installments of the Term Loan. Each such prepayment shall be applied to the installments of principal due under the Term Loan in the order of application designated by Borrower; provided, that, Borrower shall only be required to make such prepayments to the extent that, after giving effect thereto, Excess Availability would be at least $3,000,000. Except for charges under subsection 4.1.9, such prepayments shall be without premium or penalty.

4.3.7 Proceeds from Equity Interests. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, if any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries receives any Net Cash Proceeds from any issuance of Equity Interests of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, whether in connection with the issuance of any Curative Equity or otherwise (excluding any issuance of Equity Interests (A) pursuant to any employee or director option program, benefit plan or compensation program or agreement, (B) by a Subsidiary to any Borrower or another Subsidiary and (C) the Net Cash Proceeds of which are used substantially to fund a Permitted Acquisition), concurrently with such receipt in an amount equal to 50% (or, in the case of Net Cash Proceeds in the form of Curative Equity, 100%) of those Net Cash Proceeds.

4.3.8 Other Receipts. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, if any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries receives any Other Receipts, concurrently with such receipt in an amount equal to 100% of those Other Receipts; provided that, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrowers may reinvest the first $500,000 of such Other Receipts and up to 50% of any additional Other Receipts in the aggregate over the term of this Agreement in the applicable acquired business so long as such reinvestment is made within 180 days after the receipt of such Other Receipts (as certified by Borrower Representative in writing to Administrative Agent); provided further, that any Other Receipts not so reinvested shall be immediately applied to the prepayment of the Term Loans upon the expiration of such applicable period.

4.3.9 Mandatory Prepayments under Acquisition Term Loan Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in Sections 4.3.3, 4.3.7 and 4.3.8 to the contrary, until the Payment in Full (as defined in the Acquisition Term Loan Agreement), no mandatory prepayment under Sections 4.3.3, 4.3.7 and 4.3.8 shall be required to be made, except with respect to any portion (if any) of any proceeds that are declined by the holders of the Acquisition Term Loans in accordance with the terms thereof.

4.4 Application of Payments and Collections.

4.4.1 Collections. All items of payment received by Administrative Agent by 12:00 noon, Central time, on any Business Day shall be deemed received on that Business Day. All items of payment received after 12:00 noon, Central time, on any Business Day, in Administrative Agent’s discretion, shall be deemed received on the following Business Day. If as the result of collections of Accounts as authorized by subsection 7.2.4 hereof or otherwise, a credit balance exists in the Loan Account, such credit balance shall not accrue interest in favor of Borrowers, but shall be disbursed to Borrowers or otherwise at Borrower Representative’s direction in the manner set forth in subsection 4.1.2, upon Borrower Representative’s request at any time, so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists. Administrative Agent may at its option, offset such credit balance against any of the Obligations upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

4.4.2 Apportionment, Application and Reversal of Payments. Principal and interest payments shall be apportioned ratably among Lenders (according to the unpaid principal balance of the Loans to which such payments relate held by each Lender). Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, all proceeds of Collateral shall be applied by Administrative Agent against the outstanding Obligations as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding but subject in all respects to the Intercreditor Agreement, all payments and collections received in respect of the Obligations and all proceeds of the Collateral received, in each instance, by Administrative Agent or any Lender after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and the resultant declaration that all Obligations are immediately due and payable shall be remitted to Administrative Agent and distributed as follows:

(i) first, to the payment of any outstanding costs and expenses incurred by any Agent in monitoring, verifying, protecting, preserving or enforcing the Liens on the Collateral, and in protecting, preserving or enforcing rights under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and payable by Borrowers under this Agreement, including, without limitation, under Sections 3.7, 3.9 and 13.2 hereof (such funds to be retained by the applicable Agent for its own account unless it has previously been reimbursed for such costs and expenses by Lenders, in which event such amounts shall be remitted to Lenders to reimburse them for payments theretofore made to such Agent);

(ii) second, to the payment of any outstanding interest or fees due under the Loan Documents to be allocated pro rata in accordance with the aggregate unpaid amounts owing to each holder thereof;

(iii) third, (a) to payment of all Product Obligations and (b) to the payment of principal on the Revolving Credit Loans, the Term Loan, unpaid reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of Credit, together with amounts to be held by Administrative Agent as collateral security for any outstanding Letters of Credit pursuant to subsection 11.3.5 hereof, amounts owing with respect to Derivative Obligations (other than Excess Derivative Obligations), the aggregate amount paid to, or held as collateral security for, Lenders (and their Affiliates, as applicable in the case of Derivative Obligations) to be allocated pro rata in accordance with the aggregate unpaid amounts owing to each holder thereof;

(iv) fourth, to the payment of all other unpaid Obligations and all other indebtedness, obligations, and liabilities of the Loan Parties to be allocated pro rata in accordance with the aggregate unpaid amounts owing to each holder thereof; and

(v) finally, to Borrowers or otherwise as required by law or court order.

Except as otherwise specifically provided for herein, Borrowers hereby irrevocably waive the right to direct the application of payments and collections at any time received by Administrative Agent or any Lender from or on behalf of Borrowers or any Guarantor, and Borrowers hereby irrevocably agree that Administrative Agent shall have the continuing exclusive right to apply and reapply any and all such payments and collections received at any time by Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Obligations in the manner described above. In the event that the amount of any Derivative Obligation is not fixed and determined at the time proceeds of Collateral are received which are to be allocated thereto, the proceeds of Collateral so allocated shall be held by Administrative Agent as collateral security (in a non-interest bearing account) until such Derivative Obligation is fixed and determined and then the same shall (if and when, and to the extent that, payment of such liability is required by the terms of the relevant contractual arrangements) be applied to such liability.

4.5 All Loans to Constitute One Obligation. The Loans and LC Obligations shall constitute one general Obligation of Borrowers and shall be secured by Administrative Agent’s Lien upon all of the Collateral.

4.6 Loan Account. Administrative Agent shall enter all Loans as debits to a loan account (the “Loan Account”) and shall also record in the Loan Account all payments made by Borrowers on any Obligations and all proceeds of Collateral which are finally paid to Administrative Agent, and may record therein, in accordance with customary accounting practice, other debits and credits, including interest and all charges and expenses properly chargeable to Borrowers.

4.7 Statements of Account. Administrative Agent will account to Borrower Representative monthly with a statement of Loans, charges and payments made pursuant to this Agreement during the immediately preceding month, and such account rendered by Administrative Agent shall be deemed final, binding and conclusive upon Borrowers absent demonstrable error unless Administrative Agent is notified by Borrowers in writing to the contrary within thirty (30) days of the date each accounting is received by Borrowers. Such notice shall be deemed an objection only to those items specifically objected to therein.

4.8 Increased Costs.

4.8.1 Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except, to the extent applicable, any reserve requirement reflected in LIBOR) or the Issuing Bank;

(ii) subject any Lender or the Issuing Bank to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (ii) through (iv) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or, to the extent applicable, the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, the Issuing Bank or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, the Issuing Bank or other Recipient, the Borrowers will pay to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, the Issuing Bank or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

4.8.2 Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or Issuing Bank or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

4.8.3 Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection 4.8.1 or 4.8.2 and delivered to the Borrowers, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

4.8.4 Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine (9) month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

4.9 Ineffective Interest Rate; Benchmark Replacement.

4.9.1 If the Administrative Agent shall have determined with respect to LIBOR or any other then-current Benchmark that (i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining such Benchmark, (ii) such Benchmark does not adequately and fairly reflect the effective cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining a Loan based on such Benchmark, or (iii) the making, maintenance or funding of a Loan based on such Benchmark has been made impractical or unlawful, then, and in any such event (unless such event constitutes a Benchmark Transition Event), Administrative Agent may so notify Borrower and as of the date of such notification (y) any request hereunder for the conversion of any Loan to, or continuation of any Loan as, a Loan based on such Benchmark shall be ineffective and any such Loan shall be continued as or converted to, as the case may be, a Base Rate Loan and (z) if any request is made hereunder for a Loan based on such Benchmark, such Loan shall be made as a Base Rate Loan, in each case unless and until Administrative Agent shall have determined that such circumstances shall no longer exist and shall have revoked such notice.

4.9.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, if, with respect to LIBOR or any other then-current Benchmark, the Administrative Agent shall have determined that:

(i) the circumstances set forth in subsection 4.9.1(iii) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or

(ii) the administrator for such Benchmark (or for a published component used in the calculation thereof) (the “Administrator”) has discontinued its administration and publication of such Benchmark (or such component), permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such discontinuation, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide such Benchmark (or such component); or

(iii) a public statement or publication of information has been made by or on behalf of the Administrator announcing that the Administrator has ceased or will cease to provide such Benchmark (or a published component used in the calculation thereof), permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide such Benchmark (or such component); or

(iv) a public statement or publication of information has been made by or on behalf of the regulatory supervisor for the Administrator, the U.S. Federal Reserve System, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the Administrator, a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the Administrator or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the Administrator, which states that the Administrator has ceased or will cease to provide such Benchmark (or a published component used in the calculation thereof), permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide the Benchmark (or such component); or

(v) a public statement or publication of information has been made by or on behalf of the regulatory supervisor for the Administrator announcing that such Benchmark (or a published component used in the calculation thereof) is no longer representative; or

(vi) syndicated credit facilities similar to the credit facility or facilities under this Agreement being executed at such time, or that include language similar to that contained in this subsection 4.9.2, are being executed or amended, as the case may be, to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace such Benchmark (or a published component used in the calculation thereof) and (in the case of this clause (vi)) the Administrative Agent has elected to treat such circumstance as a Benchmark Transition Event hereunder,

(each of clauses (i) through (vi) above being referred to herein as a “Benchmark Transition Event”) then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace LIBOR or such other then-current Benchmark, as applicable, with a Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 13.3, any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event (A) pursuant to any of clauses (i) through (v) above will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement at 5:00 p.m. Central time on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted or otherwise made available such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Majority Lenders or (B) pursuant to clause (vi) above will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement on the date that Lenders comprising the Majority Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Majority Lenders accept such amendment. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this subsection 4.9.2 will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.

The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date and Benchmark Transition Start Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (iv) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or Lenders pursuant to this Section 4.9, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 4.9.

Upon notice to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 13.8 of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period and until a Benchmark Replacement shall be determined in accordance with this subsection 4.9.2, (y) any request hereunder for the conversion of any Loan to, or continuation of any Loan as, a Loan based on the then-current Benchmark shall be ineffective and any such Loan shall be continued as or converted to, as the case may be, a Base Rate Loan, and (z) if any request is made hereunder for a Loan based on the then-current Benchmark, such Loan shall be made as a Base Rate Loan. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period, any component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.

4.9.3 For purposes of this Section 4.9:

“Administrator” has the meaning specified in subsection 4.9.2.

“Benchmark” means LIBOR or a Benchmark Replacement that is in effect hereunder, as applicable.

“Benchmark Replacement” means the sum of: (a) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a replacement rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body and/or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest as a replacement to the then-current Benchmark (or any applicable component thereof) for syndicated credit facilities similar to the credit facility or facilities hereunder denominated in U.S. Dollars and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment (which, in each case, may include a rate that is published on an information service as selected by the Administrative Agent from time to time, and may be updated periodically); provided that the Benchmark Replacement shall incorporate or be subject to any floor corresponding to any floor on or related to the Benchmark that is being replaced; provided, further, that any Benchmark Replacement must be administratively feasible as determined by Administrative Agent.

“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means, with respect to any replacement under this Agreement of the then-current Benchmark with an alternative benchmark rate for each applicable Interest Period, the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower giving due consideration to (a) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of the then-current Benchmark (or any applicable component thereof) with an alternative benchmark rate, as applicable, by the Relevant Governmental Body or (b) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of the then-current Benchmark (or any applicable component thereof) with an alternative benchmark rate, as applicable, at such time for U.S. syndicated credit facilities denominated in U.S. Dollars (which, in each case, may include an adjustment or method for calculating or determining such an adjustment that is published on an information service as selected by the Administrative Agent from time to time, and may be updated periodically).

“Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “Base Rate”, the definition of “Interest Period,” the definition of “LIBOR Reserve Percentage” (it being understood that such a factor may be applied in respect of a Benchmark Replacement), or the timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest and other administrative matters) that the Administrative Agent decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such Benchmark Replacement and to permit the administration thereof by the Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Administrative Agent decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Administrative Agent determines that no market practice for the administration of the Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent decides is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement).

“Benchmark Replacement Date” means the earlier to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark (or any applicable component thereof):

(a) in the case of clause (i) of subsection 4.9.2, the date selected by the Administrative Agent; or

(b) in the case of clauses (ii), (iii) or (iv) of subsection 4.9.2, the later of:

(d) in the case of clause (vi) of subsection 4.9.2, the date specified by the Administrative Agent by notice to the Borrower and the Lenders.

“Benchmark Transition Event” has the meaning specified in subsection 4.9.2.

“Benchmark Unavailability Period” means, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to any then-current Benchmark and solely to the extent that such Benchmark has not been replaced with a Benchmark Replacement, the period (y) beginning at the time that such Benchmark Replacement Date has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with subsection 4.9.2 and (z) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced such Benchmark for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents pursuant to subsection 4.9.2.

“Relevant Governmental Body” means the Federal Reserve Board and/or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or a committee officially endorsed or convened by the Federal Reserve Board and/or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or any successor thereto.

4.10 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) on account of any Loan made by it in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of Loans made by all Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from each other Lender such participation in such Loan as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each other Lender; provided that, if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lenders the purchase price to the extent of such recovery, together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. Borrowers agree that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 4.10 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of Borrowers in the amount of such participation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all purchases and repayments to be made under this Section 4.10 shall be made through Administrative Agent.

4.11 Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

4.11.1 The Unused Line Fee shall cease to accrue on the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender so long as it is a Defaulting Lender (except to the extent it is payable to an Issuing Bank pursuant to subsection 4.11.2(v) below);

4.11.2 If any Letters of Credit are outstanding at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i) (A) the exposure under all or any part of any Letters of Credit shall be reallocated among the applicable non-Defaulting Lenders that are Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Percentages but only to the extent the sum of all such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Loans outstanding, plus the LC Amount, does not exceed the total of all such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Commitments; and (B) with respect to any such exposure so reallocated, each applicable non-Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased from the Issuing Bank an undivided interest and participation in the portion of each Letter of Credit so reallocated, in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 2.2. Subject to Section 3.12, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation;

(ii) if the reallocations described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, Borrowers shall within one (1) Business Day following notice by Administrative Agent (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) cash collateralize Letters of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage times the total LC Amount;

(iii) if any portion of the Letters of Credit is cash collateralized pursuant to clause (ii) above, Borrowers shall not be required to pay the Letter of Credit fee described in clause (i) of Section 3.4 with respect to such portion so long as it is cash collateralized;

(iv) if any portion of the exposure under Letters of Credit of such Defaulting Lender is reallocated to the non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to clause (i) above, then the Letter of Credit fee described in clause (i) of Section 3.4 with respect to such portion so reallocated to each such non-Defaulting Lender shall be paid to such non-Defaulting Lender; and

(v) if any portion of the exposure under Letters of Credit of such Defaulting Lender is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to this subsection 4.11.2, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, the Unused Line Fee that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment that was utilized by such Letters of Credit) and the Letter of Credit fee described in clause (i) of Section 3.4 payable with respect to such Letters of Credit shall be payable to Issuing Bank until such Letters of Credit are fully cash collateralized and/or reallocated.

4.11.3 So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Credit Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateralized in accordance with subsection 4.11.2, and participations in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Percentages (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein).

4.11.4 Any amount payable to a Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise but excluding subsection 13.5.6) may, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by Administrative Agent in a segregated non-interest bearing account and, subject to any Applicable Law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Administrative Agent (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent hereunder, (ii) second, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to Issuing Bank hereunder, (iii) third, to the funding of any Loan or the funding or cash collateralization of any participation in any Letter of Credit in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by Administrative Agent, (iv) fourth, if so determined by Administrative Agent and Borrowers, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, (v) fifth, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing to Borrowers or the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Borrower or any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement and (vi) sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, that if such payment is a prepayment of the principal amount of any Loans or LC Obligations in respect of which a Defaulting Lender has funded its participation obligations, such payment shall be applied solely to prepay the Loans of, and LC Obligations owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Loans of, or LC Obligations owed to, any Defaulting Lender.

4.11.5 In the event that Administrative Agent, Borrowers and Issuing Bank agree that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the exposure of the Lenders under the Letters of Credit shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Credit Loans of the other Lenders as Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Revolving Credit Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Percentage. The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 4.11 are in addition to other rights and remedies that Borrowers, Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank and the non-Defaulting Lenders may have against such Defaulting Lender. The arrangements permitted or required by this Section 4.11 shall be permitted under this Agreement, notwithstanding any limitation on Liens or the pro rata sharing provisions or otherwise.

Article VII. COLLATERAL ADMINISTRATION

7.1 General.

7.1.1 Location of Collateral. Set forth on Schedule 7.1.1 hereto are (i) each Loan Party’s chief executive office, (ii) the locations at which each Borrower maintains its books and records relating to Accounts and General Intangibles, (iii) each other business location of the Loan Parties and (iv) each location (including bailees, warehouses, consignees and similar parties) at which Collateral, other than Inventory in transit and motor vehicles are located. All Collateral, other than Inventory in transit and motor vehicles, will at all times be kept by the Loan Parties at one or more of the business locations set forth in Schedule 7.1.1 hereto, as updated by the Loan Parties providing prior written notice to Administrative Agent of any new location.

7.1.2 Insurance of Collateral. The Borrowers shall at all times maintain and pay for insurance upon all Collateral wherever located and with respect to the business of the Borrowers, covering casualty, hazard, public liability, workers’ compensation and such other risks in such amounts and with such insurance companies as are reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent. The Borrowers shall provide that such policies shall include satisfactory endorsements, naming Administrative Agent as a lender loss payable or additional insured, as appropriate, as its interest may appear. Each policy of insurance or endorsement shall contain a clause requiring the insurer to give not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice to Administrative Agent in the event of cancellation of the policy for nonpayment of premium and not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Administrative Agent in the event of cancellation of the policy for any other reason whatsoever and a clause specifying that the interest of Administrative Agent shall not be impaired or invalidated by any act or neglect of any Borrower, any of their Subsidiaries or the owner of the Property or by the occupation of the premises for purposes more hazardous than are permitted by such policy. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all proceeds of business interruption insurance (if any) of the Borrowers shall be remitted to Administrative Agent for application to the outstanding balance of the Revolving Credit Loans. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent shall, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, 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.

Unless the Borrowers provide Administrative Agent with evidence of the insurance coverage required by this Agreement, Administrative Agent may purchase insurance at the Borrowers’ expense to protect Administrative Agent’s interests in the Properties of the Borrowers. This insurance may, but need not, protect the interests of the Borrowers. The coverage that Administrative Agent purchases may not pay any claim that any Borrower makes or any claim that is made against any Borrower in connection with such Property. The Borrowers may later cancel any insurance purchased by Administrative Agent, but only after providing Administrative Agent with evidence that the Borrowers have obtained insurance as required by this Agreement. If Administrative Agent purchases insurance, the Borrowers will be responsible for the costs of that insurance, including interest and any other charges Administrative Agent may impose in connection with the placement of insurance, until the effective date of the cancellation or expiration of the insurance. The costs of the insurance may be added to the Obligations. The costs of the insurance may be more than the cost of insurance that the Borrowers may be able to obtain on their own.

7.1.3 Protection of Collateral. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be liable or responsible in any way for the safekeeping of any of the Collateral or for any loss or damage thereto (except for reasonable care in the custody thereof while any Collateral is in Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s actual possession) or for any diminution in the value thereof, or for any act or default of any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency or other person whomsoever, but the same shall be at the Loan Parties’ sole risk.

7.2 Administration of Accounts.

7.2.1 Records, Schedules and Assignments of Accounts. The Borrowers shall keep records that are accurate and complete, in all material respects, of their Accounts and all payments and collections thereon and shall submit to Collateral Agent on such periodic basis as Collateral Agent shall request, in its reasonable credit judgment, a sales and collections report for the preceding period, in form acceptable to Collateral Agent, in its reasonable credit judgment, and consistent with the reports currently prepared by the Borrowers with respect to such information/acceptable to Collateral Agent. Concurrently with the delivery of each Borrowing Base Certificate described in subsection 9.1.4, or more frequently as requested by Collateral Agent or during the existence of an Event of Default, from and after the date hereof, the Borrowers shall deliver to Collateral Agent a detailed aged trial balance of all of their Accounts and a detailed description with respect to any unbilled Accounts, specifying the names, addresses (updated on an annual basis), face values, dates of invoices and due dates for each Account Debtor obligated on an Account so listed in a form consistent with reports currently prepared by the Borrowers with respect to such information (“Schedule of Accounts”), and upon Collateral Agent’s written request therefor, copies of proof of delivery and the original copy of all documents, including, without limitation, repayment histories and present status reports relating to the Accounts so scheduled and such other matters and information relating to the status of then existing Accounts as Collateral Agent shall request, in its reasonable credit judgment. If requested by Collateral Agent in writing, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to Collateral Agent formal written assignments of all of their Accounts weekly or daily, which shall include all Accounts that have been created since the date of the last assignment, together with copies of invoices or invoice registers related thereto and a detailed description with respect to any unbilled Accounts.

7.2.2 Discounts; Allowances; Disputes. If any Borrower grants any discounts, allowances or credits that are not shown on the face of the invoice for the Account involved, the Borrowers shall report such discounts, allowances or credits, as the case may be, to Collateral Agent as part of the next required Schedule of Accounts.

7.2.3 Account Verification. Any of Collateral Agent’s officers, employees or agents shall have the right, at any time or times if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in the name of Collateral Agent, any designee of Collateral Agent or any Borrower, to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any Accounts by mail, telephone, electronic communication or otherwise. The Borrowers shall cooperate fully with Collateral Agent in an effort to facilitate and promptly conclude any such verification process.

7.2.4 Maintenance of Blocked Accounts. Within ninety (90) days of the Closing Date, or such later date as shall be agreed to by Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion (provided, that, with respect to the deposit accounts designated as Payables Accounts in the Accounts Side Letter, each located at Citizens Bank, Quest and the other Loan Parties shall have 90 days following the date at which the Administrative Agent establishes an integrated payables arrangement for such accounts to move such accounts to the Administrative Agent), Quest and the other Loan Parties will maintain their primary depository, blocked account and cash management relationship with Administrative Agent or its affiliate. The Administrative Agent shall have control of all deposit and securities accounts of all Borrowers pursuant to executed Control Agreements and other executed documentation as shall be required by Administrative Agent, in its reasonable discretion, such documentation to be in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent and delivered to Administrative Agent, it being understood and agreed that, other than with respect to any Excluded Deposit Account, the Term Loan Collateral Account (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) and deposit accounts designated as Springing Accounts in the Accounts Side Letter, Quest and the other Borrowers will cause or direct all cash to be transferred daily to Administrative Agent, and maintained in, accounts subject to Control Agreements whereby Administrative Agent has a first-priority security interest (except the Term Loan Collateral Account (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement)) in such accounts and all amounts held therein. If an Excess Availability Triggering Event occurs or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Administrative Agent shall at all times require (a)(i) that all such cash and proceeds of the Collateral (other than Acquisition Term Loan Priority Collateral) be swept on a daily basis to an account of Administrative Agent to be applied by Administrative Agent to (ii) repay outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, LC Obligations, other amounts then due and payable and solely to the extent such proceeds are derived from ABL Priority Collateral consisting of equipment, to repay the Acquisition Term Debt, and (iii) if a Default or Event of Default exists, to cash collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit in an amount equal to 103% of the face amount thereof and (b) send notices as required under the Control Agreements to trigger full dominion of all such deposit accounts (“Cash Dominion”) which shall continue until the Default or Event of Default has been waived or Cure Date. Unless an Excess Availability Triggering Event or a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent waives Cash Dominion except for the Collection Accounts designated in the Accounts Side Letter. Prior to entering into any Term Loan Collateral Account (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement), Borrowers shall provide at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice thereof and shall deliver a form of Control Agreement whereby the Administrative Agent has a second-priority security interest in such deposit account and the cash held therein. With respect to any deposit accounts not maintained with Administrative Agent or its affiliate, Borrowers shall maintain Control Agreements whereby Administrative Agent has a first-priority security interest in such deposit accounts, and all amounts held therein reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent with such banks as may be selected by the Borrowers and be reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent; provided, that Administrative Agent hereby agrees that it shall not institute or otherwise require a Control Agreement and/or springing or blocked account agreement with regard to any Excluded Deposit Account or the Term Loan Collateral Account (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) maintained by any Borrower. Administrative Agent shall have control over and a Lien on all funds deposited in any springing or blocked account (other than Excluded Deposit Accounts), for the ratable benefit of Lenders, and, with respect to deposit accounts not maintained with Administrative Agent or its affiliate, the Borrowers shall obtain the agreement by such banks in favor of Administrative Agent to waive any recoupment, setoff rights, and any security interest in, or against, the funds so deposited (except to the extent of any such bank’s customary fees). Such lockbox and blocked account arrangements shall include irrevocable instructions directing such banks to remit all payments or other remittances received in the blocked accounts on a daily basis to an account of Administrative Agent for application on account of the Obligations to the extent provided for herein. At any time Cash Dominion is in existence, Administrative Agent shall have the right to issue to any such banks irrevocable instructions directing such banks to remit all payments or other remittances received in the blocked accounts to an account of Administrative Agent for application on account of the Obligations as provided herein. Administrative Agent assumes no responsibility for such lockbox and blocked account arrangements, including, without limitation, any claim of accord and satisfaction or release with respect to deposits accepted by any bank thereunder.

7.2.5 Collection of Accounts; Proceeds of Collateral. Each Borrower agrees that all invoices rendered and other requests made by any Borrower for payment in respect of Accounts shall contain a written statement directing payment in respect of such Accounts to be paid to a lockbox or blocked account established pursuant to subsection 7.2.4. To expedite collection, each Borrower shall endeavor in the first instance to make collection of its Accounts for Administrative Agent. All remittances received by any Borrower in respect of Accounts, together with the proceeds of any other ABL Priority Collateral (and after the Acquisition Term Debt has been Paid in Full, any Collateral), shall be held as Administrative Agent’s property, for its benefit and the benefit of Lenders, by such Borrower as trustee of an express trust for Administrative Agent’s benefit and such Borrower shall immediately deposit the same in a blocked account established pursuant to subsection 7.2.4. Administrative Agent retains the right at all times after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default to notify Account Debtors that the Borrowers’ Accounts have been assigned to Administrative Agent and to collect the Borrowers’ Accounts directly in its own name, or in the name of Administrative Agent’s agent, and to charge the collection costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, to the Borrowers.

7.2.6 Taxes. If an Account includes a charge for any tax payable to any Governmental Authority, Administrative Agent is authorized, in its sole discretion, to pay the amount thereof to the proper Governmental Authority for the account of the Borrowers and to charge the Borrowers therefor, except for taxes that (i) are being actively contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which the Borrowers maintain reasonable reserves on its books therefor and (ii) would not reasonably be expected to result in any Lien other than a Permitted Lien. In no event shall Administrative Agent or any Lender be liable for any taxes to any Governmental Authority that may be due by any Borrower.

7.3 [Reserved].

7.4 Administration of Eligible Machinery and Equipment. The Borrowers shall keep records of their Eligible Machinery and Equipment which shall be complete and accurate in all material respects itemizing and describing the kind, type, quality, quantity and book value of its Eligible Machinery and Equipment, and the Borrowers shall, and shall cause each of their Subsidiaries to, furnish Administrative Agent with a current schedule containing the foregoing information on at least an annual basis and more often if reasonably requested by Administrative Agent. Promptly after the request therefor by Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall deliver to Administrative Agent any and all evidence of ownership, if any, of any of their Eligible Machinery and Equipment.

In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender is hereby authorized by the Loan Parties at any time or from time to time, with prior written consent of Administrative Agent and with reasonably prompt subsequent notice to the Loan Parties (any prior or contemporaneous notice to the Loan Parties being hereby expressly waived) to setoff and to appropriate and to apply any and all (i) balances held by such Lender at any of its offices for the account of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries (regardless of whether such balances are then due to a Loan Party or its Subsidiaries), and (ii) other property at any time held or owing by such Lender to or for the credit or for the account of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, against and on account of any of the Obligations. Except with respect to setoff amounts applied to Product Obligations, any Lender exercising a right to setoff shall, to the extent the amount of any such setoff exceeds its Pro Rata Percentage of the amount set off, purchase for cash (and the other Lenders shall sell) interests in each such other Lender’s pro rata share of the Obligations as would be necessary to cause such Lender to share such excess with each other Lender in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Percentages. Each Loan Party agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that any Lender may exercise its right to setoff with respect to amounts in excess of its pro rata share of the Obligations and upon doing so shall deliver such excess to Administrative Agent for the benefit of all Lenders in accordance with the Pro Rata Percentages.

120

11.5 Remedies Cumulative; No Waiver. All covenants, conditions, provisions, warranties, guaranties, indemnities, and other undertakings of the Loan Parties contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or in any document referred to herein or contained in any agreement supplementary hereto or in any schedule or in any Guaranty Agreement or Pledge Agreement given to Administrative Agent or any Lender or contained in any other agreement between any Lender and the Loan Parties or between Administrative Agent and the Loan Parties heretofore, concurrently, or hereafter entered into, shall be deemed cumulative to and not in derogation or substitution of any of the terms, covenants, conditions, or agreements of the Loan Parties herein contained. The failure or delay of Administrative Agent or any Lender to require strict performance by the Loan Parties of any provision of this Agreement or to exercise or enforce any rights, Liens, powers, or remedies hereunder or under any of the aforesaid agreements or other documents or security or Collateral shall not operate as a waiver of such performance, Liens, rights, powers and remedies, but all such requirements, Liens, rights, powers, and remedies shall continue in full force and effect until all Loans and other Obligations owing or to become owing from the Loan Parties to Administrative Agent and each Lender have been fully satisfied. None of the undertakings, agreements, warranties, covenants and representations of the Loan Parties contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and no Default or Event of Default by the Loan Parties under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been suspended or waived by Lenders, unless such suspension or waiver is by an instrument in writing specifying such suspension or waiver and is signed by a duly authorized representative of Administrative Agent and directed to the Loan Parties.

11.6 Curative Equity.

(a) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 11.6(d), Borrowers may cure (and will be deemed to have cured) an Event of Default arising out of a breach of any of the financial covenants set forth in Section 9.2.12 (each such financial covenant, a “Specified Financial Covenant”; each such Event of Default, a “Specified Financial Covenant Default”) if Borrowers receive the cash proceeds of Curative Equity within ten (10) Business Days after the earliest date on which each applicable Specified Financial Covenant is required to be tested for the applicable Computation Period pursuant to this Agreement (the “Cure Period”).

(b) Borrowers shall provide Administrative Agent with irrevocable written notice during the Cure Period of their intent to cure the Specified Financial Covenant(s) with Curative Equity (the “Cure Notice”) and shall promptly notify Administrative Agent of their receipt of any proceeds of Curative Equity and application of the proceeds of such Curative Equity in accordance with Section 4.3 so long as any payments on the Acquisition Term Debt result in a permanent reduction in Acquisition Term Debt.

(c) Upon receipt by the Borrowers of the Curative Equity (and application of the proceeds of such Curative Equity in accordance with Section 4.3) and delivery of a certificate by Borrower Representative to Administrative Agent certifying as to the amount of the proceeds of any Curative Equity and that those proceeds have been applied in accordance with Section 11.6(b) in an amount equal to the amount which if applied to increase EBITDA for the Computation Period would result in the Borrowers being in pro forma compliance with the applicable Specified Financial Covenant(s) (which certificate shall also set forth the calculation of the applicable Specified Financial Covenant being cured in reasonable detail), then each applicable Specified Financial Covenant Default will be deemed cured with no further action required by the Administrative Agent. Before the date of the delivery of that certificate, any Specified Financial Covenant Default that has occurred and is continuing will be deemed to be continuing, and, as a result, the Lenders will have no obligation to make additional loans or otherwise extend additional credit under this Agreement. If Borrowers do not cure a Specified Financial Covenant Default as provided in this Section 11.6, then that Specified Financial Covenant Default will continue unless waived in writing by the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Agreement.

121

(d) To the extent that proceeds of Curative Equity are received with respect to any Fiscal Quarter, those proceeds will be deemed to be EBITDA for purposes of determining compliance with the Specified Financial Covenant(s) for that Fiscal Quarter and subsequent periods that include that Fiscal Quarter. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (i) Borrowers’ rights under this Section 11.6 (A) may be exercised no more than four times during the term of this Agreement; (B) may be exercised no more than twice in any period of four Fiscal Quarters; (C) may not be exercised in two consecutive Fiscal Quarters and (D) may not be exercised if the amount of proceeds of the Curative Equity, together with the aggregate amount of proceeds of all prior Curative Equity, exceeds 20% of Consolidated EBITDA (calculated prior to giving effect to such Curative Equity) in any trailing twelve month period; (ii) the amount of proceeds of any Curative Equity may not be greater than or less than the amount required to cause Borrowers to be in compliance with each applicable Specified Financial Covenant(s) as at the end of the applicable Computation Period (without giving effect to any prepayment of Debt); and (iii) the proceeds of Curative Equity will be disregarded for purposes of determining EBITDA for any pricing, financial covenant-based conditions, or baskets with respect to the covenants contained in this Agreement and there will be no pro forma reduction in Debt with the proceeds of any Curative Equity for determining compliance with the Specified Financial Covenants or for determining any pricing, financial covenant-based conditions, or baskets with respect to the covenants contained in this Agreement, in each case in the Fiscal Quarter in which that Curative Equity is used and each Computation Period ending on the last day of the following three Fiscal Quarters.

Article XII. AGENTS

12.1 Authorization and Action. Each Lender hereby appoints and authorizes Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent to take such action on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each Lender hereby acknowledges that Agents shall not have by reason of this Agreement assumed a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, each Agent shall act solely as agent of Lenders and shall not assume, or be deemed to have assumed, any obligation toward, or relationship of agency or trust with or for, the Loan Parties. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including without limitation enforcement and collection of the Notes), each Agent may, but shall not be required to, exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of Majority Lenders (or a greater or lesser number of Lenders as required in this Agreement), whenever such instruction shall be requested by such Agent or required hereunder, or a greater or lesser number of Lenders if so required hereunder, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders; provided that each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action which exposes such Agent to any liability or which is contrary to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or Applicable Law, unless such Agent is indemnified to its satisfaction by the other Lenders against any and all liability and expense which it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. If any Agent seeks the consent or approval of Majority Lenders (or a greater or lesser number of Lenders as required in this Agreement), with respect to any action hereunder, such Agent shall send notice thereof to each Lender and shall notify each Lender at any time that Majority Lenders (or such greater or lesser number of Lenders) have instructed such Agent to act or refrain from acting pursuant hereto.

122

12.2 Agents’ Reliance, Etc. Neither Agent nor any of its respective Related Parties shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, each Agent and its Related Parties: (i) may treat each Lender party hereto as the holder of Obligations until such Agent receives written notice of the assignment or transfer of such Lender’s portion of the Obligations signed by such Lender and in form reasonably satisfactory to Agent; (ii) may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (iii) makes no warranties or representations to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Documents; (iv) shall not have any duty beyond such Agent’s customary practices in respect of loans in which such Agent is the only lender, to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents on the part of the Loan Parties, to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Loan Parties, to monitor the financial condition of the Loan Parties or to ascertain the existence or possible existence or continuation of any Default or Event of Default; (v) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; (vi) shall not be liable to any Lender for any action taken, or inaction, by such Agent upon the instructions of Majority Lenders (or a greater or lesser number of Lenders as required in this Agreement) pursuant to Section 12.1 hereof or refraining to take any action pending such instructions; (vii) shall not be liable for any apportionment or distributions of payments made by it in good faith pursuant to Section 4 hereof; (viii) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate, message or other instrument or writing (which may be by telephone, facsimile, telegram, cable, e-mail transmission or telex) believed in good faith by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties; and (ix) may assume that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, unless such Agent has actual knowledge of the Event of Default, has received notice from the Loan Parties or the Loan Parties’ independent certified public accountants stating the nature of the Event of Default, or has received notice from a Lender stating the nature of the Event of Default and that such Lender considers the Event of Default to have occurred and to be continuing. In the event any apportionment or distribution described in clause (vii) above is determined to have been made in error, the sole recourse of any Person to whom payment was due but not made shall be to recover from the recipients of such payments any payment in excess of the amount to which they are determined to have been entitled.

123

12.3 BBVA and Affiliates. With respect to its commitment hereunder to make Loans, BBVA shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent; and the terms “Lender,” “Lenders” or “Majority Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include BBVA in its individual capacity as a Lender. BBVA and its Affiliates may lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Loan Parties, and any Person who may do business with or own Equity Interests of any Loan Party, all as if BBVA were not an Agent and without any duty to account therefor to any other Lender.

12.4 Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and based on the financial statements referred to herein and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent 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. No Agent shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on an ongoing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other similar information regarding the Loan Parties.

12.5 Indemnification. Lenders agree to indemnify Agents (to the extent not reimbursed by the Loan Parties), in accordance with their respective Aggregate Percentages, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under this Agreement; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse each Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share, as set forth above, of any out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by such Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiation, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement and each other Loan Document, to the extent that such Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Loan Parties. If after payment and distribution of any amount by any Agent to Lenders, any Lender or any other Person, including the Loan Parties, any creditor of any Loan Party, a liquidator, administrator or trustee in bankruptcy, recovers from such Agent any amount found to have been wrongfully paid to such Agent or disbursed by such Agent to Lenders, then Lenders, in accordance with their respective Aggregate Percentages, shall reimburse such Agent for all such amounts. The obligations of Lenders under this Section 12.5 shall survive the payment in full of all Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

124

12.6 Rights and Remedies to Be Exercised by Administrative Agent Only. Each Lender agrees that, except as set forth in Section 11.4, no Lender shall have any right individually (i) to realize upon the security created by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) to enforce any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or (iii) to make demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

12.7 Agency Provisions Relating to Collateral. Each Lender authorizes and ratifies each Agent’s entry into this Agreement and the Security Documents for the benefit of Lenders. Each Lender agrees that any action taken by any Agent with respect to the Collateral in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Security Documents, and the exercise by any Agent of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all Lenders. Administrative Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender to take any action with respect to any Collateral or the Loan Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected Administrative Agent’s Liens upon the Collateral, for its benefit and the ratable benefit of Lenders. Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by Administrative Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of this Agreement and payment and satisfaction of all Obligations; or (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if the Loan Parties certify to Administrative Agent that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with subsection 9.2.8 hereof (and Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry); or (iii) constituting property in which no Loan Party owned any interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; or (iv) in connection with any foreclosure sale or other disposition of Collateral after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default; or (v) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by Administrative Agent at the direction of all Lenders. Upon request by Administrative Agent at any time, Lenders will confirm in writing Administrative Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant hereto. No Agent shall have any obligation whatsoever to any Lender or to any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Loan Party or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered or that the Liens granted to Administrative Agent herein or pursuant to the Security Documents 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 its rights, authorities and powers granted or available to each Agent in this Section 12.7 or in any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, each Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, but consistent with the provisions of this Agreement, including given each Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as a Lender and that no Agent shall have any duty or liability whatsoever to any Lender.

12.8 Resignation of Agent; Appointment of Successor. Each Agent may resign as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent by giving not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Lenders and the Loan Parties. If Administrative Agent shall resign under this Agreement, then, (i) subject to the consent of the Loan Parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and which consent shall not be required during any period in which a Default or an Event of Default exists), Majority Lenders shall appoint from among Lenders a successor Administrative Agent for Lenders or (ii) if a successor Administrative Agent shall not be so appointed and approved within the thirty (30) day period following Administrative Agent’s notice to Lenders and the Loan Parties of its resignation, then Administrative Agent shall appoint a successor agent who shall serve as Administrative Agent until such time as Majority Lenders appoint a successor agent, subject to the Loan Parties’ consent as set forth above. Upon its appointment, such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor effective upon its appointment, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement. If Collateral Agent shall resign under this Agreement, then Administrative Agent shall assume the rights, powers and duties of Collateral Agent hereunder; provided, that, Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, appoint another Lender as the successor Collateral Agent, in which case such successor Collateral Agent shall assume the rights, powers and duties of Collateral Agent hereunder. After the resignation of any Agent hereunder, the provisions of this Section 12 shall inure to the benefit of such former Agent and such former Agent shall not by reason of such resignation be deemed to be released from liability for any actions taken or not taken by it while it was an Agent under this Agreement.

125

12.9 Audit and Examination Reports; Disclaimer by Lenders. By signing this Agreement, each Lender:

(i) is deemed to have requested that each Agent furnish such Lender, promptly after it becomes available, a copy of each audit or examination report (each a “Report” and collectively, “Reports”) prepared by or on behalf of such Agent;

(ii) expressly agrees and acknowledges that Agents (i) do not make any representation or warranty as to the accuracy of any Report and (ii) shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report;

126

Administrative Agent shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, at any time upon written notice to any Lender and with the consent of such Lender, which may be granted or withheld in such Lender’s sole discretion, to purchase for Administrative Agent’s own account all of such Lender’s interests in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Obligations, for the face amount of the outstanding Obligations owed to such Lender, including without limitation all accrued and unpaid interest and fees.

12.11 Intercreditor Agreement. Each Lender hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement on its behalf, perform the Intercreditor Agreement on its behalf and take any actions thereunder as determined by the Administrative Agent to be necessary or advisable to protect the interest of the Lenders, and each Lender agrees to be bound by the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.

The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrowers, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

Article XIV. CROSS-GUARANTY BY BORROWERS.

14.1 Cross-Guaranty. Each Borrower hereby agrees that such Borrower is jointly and severally liable for, and hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Administrative Agent and Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, the full and prompt payment (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and performance of, all Obligations owed or hereafter owing to Administrative Agent and Lenders by each other Borrower. Each Borrower agrees that its guaranty obligation hereunder is a continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection, that its obligations under this Section 14 shall not be discharged until payment and performance, in full, of the Obligations has occurred, and that its obligations under this Section 14 shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and unaffected by, (i) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability or any future amendment of, or change in, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, document or instrument to which any Borrower is or may become a party; (ii) the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement (including this Section 14) or any other Loan Document or the waiver or consent by Administrative Agent and Lenders with respect to any of the provisions thereof; (iii) the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect its Lien against, any security for the Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by Administrative Agent and Lenders in respect thereof (including the release of any such security); (iv) the insolvency of any Loan Party; or (v) any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor. Each Borrower shall be regarded, and shall be in the same position, as principal debtor with respect to the Obligations guaranteed hereunder.

14.2 Waivers by Borrowers. Each Borrower expressly waives all rights it may have now or in the future under any statute, or at common law, or at law or in equity, or otherwise, to compel Administrative Agent or Lenders to marshal assets or to proceed in respect of the Obligations guaranteed hereunder against any other Loan Party, any other party or against any security for the payment and performance of the Obligations before proceeding against, or as a condition to proceeding against, such Borrower. It is agreed among each Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders that the foregoing waivers are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and that, but for the provisions of this Section 14 and such waivers, Administrative Agent and Lenders would decline to enter into this Agreement.

138

14.3 Benefit of Guaranty. Each Borrower agrees that the provisions of this Section 14 are for the benefit of Administrative Agent and Lenders and their respective successors, transferees, endorsees and assigns, and nothing herein contained shall impair, as between any other Borrower and Administrative Agent or Lenders, the obligations of such other Borrower under the Loan Documents.

14.4 Waiver of Subrogation, Etc. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, and except as set forth in Section 14.7, each Borrower hereby expressly and irrevocably waives any and all rights at law or in equity to subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off and any and all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that this waiver is intended to benefit Administrative Agent and Lenders and shall not limit or otherwise affect such Borrower’s liability hereunder or the enforceability of this Section 14, and that Administrative Agent, Lenders and their respective successors and assigns are intended third party beneficiaries of the waivers and agreements set forth in this Section 14.4.

14.5 Election of Remedies. If Administrative Agent or any Lender may, under Applicable Law, proceed to realize its benefits under any of the Loan Documents giving Administrative Agent or such Lender a Lien upon any Collateral, whether owned by any Borrower or by any other Person, either by judicial foreclosure or by non-judicial sale or enforcement, Administrative Agent or any Lender may, at its sole option, determine which of its remedies or rights it may pursue without affecting any of its rights and remedies under this Section 14. If, in the exercise of any of its rights and remedies, Administrative Agent or any Lender shall forfeit any of its rights or remedies, including its right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Borrower or any other Person, whether because of any Applicable Laws pertaining to “election of remedies” or the like, each Borrower hereby consents to such action by Administrative Agent or such Lender and waives any claim based upon such action, even if such action by Administrative Agent or such Lender shall result in a full or partial loss of any rights of subrogation that each Borrower might otherwise have had but for such action by Administrative Agent or such Lender. Any election of remedies that results in the denial or impairment of the right of Administrative Agent or any Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against any Borrower shall not impair any other Borrower’s obligation to pay the full amount of the Obligations. In the event Administrative Agent or any Lender shall bid at any foreclosure or trustee’s sale or at any private sale permitted by law or the Loan Documents, Administrative Agent or such Lender may bid all or less than the amount of the Obligations and the amount of such bid need not be paid by Administrative Agent or such Lender but shall be credited against the Obligations. The amount of the successful bid at any such sale, whether Administrative Agent, Lender or any other party is the successful bidder, shall be conclusively deemed to be the fair market value of the Collateral and the difference between such bid amount and the remaining balance of the Obligations shall be conclusively deemed to be the amount of the Obligations guaranteed under this Section 14, notwithstanding that any present or future law or court decision or ruling may have the effect of reducing the amount of any deficiency claim to which Administrative Agent or any Lender might otherwise be entitled but for such bidding at any such sale.

139

14.6 Limitation. Notwithstanding any provision herein contained to the contrary, each Borrower’s liability under this Section 14 (which liability is in any event in addition to amounts for which such Borrower is primarily liable under any other provision of this Agreement) shall be limited to an amount not to exceed as of any date of determination the greater of: (i) the net amount of all Loans advanced to any other Borrower under this Agreement and then re-loaned or otherwise transferred to, or for the benefit of, such Borrower; and (ii) the amount that could be claimed by Administrative Agent and Lenders from such Borrower under this Section 14 without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law after taking into account, among other things, such Borrower’s right of contribution and indemnification from each other Borrower under Section 14.7.

14.7 Contribution with Respect to Guaranty Obligations.

14.7.1 To the extent that any Borrower shall make a payment under this Section 14 of all or any of the Obligations (other than Loans made to that Borrower for which it is primarily liable) (a “Guarantor Payment”) that, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments then previously or concurrently made by any other Borrower, exceeds the amount that such Borrower would otherwise have paid if each Borrower had paid the aggregate Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payment in the same proportion that such Borrower’s “Allocable Amount” (as defined below) (as determined immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment) bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each Borrower as determined immediately prior to the making of such Guarantor Payment, then, following indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations and termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, such Borrower shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each other Borrower for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment.

14.7.2 As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of any Borrower shall be equal to the maximum amount of the claim that could then be recovered from such Borrower under this Section 14 without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law.

14.7.3 This Section 14.7 is intended only to define the relative rights of Borrowers and nothing set forth in this Section 14.7 is intended to or shall impair the obligations of Borrowers, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including Section 14.1. Nothing contained in this Section 14.7 shall limit the liability of any Borrower to pay the Loans made directly or indirectly to that Borrower and accrued interest, fees and expenses with respect thereto for which such Borrower shall be primarily liable.

140

14.7.4 The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder shall constitute assets of Borrowers to which such contribution and indemnification is owing.

14.7.5 The rights of the indemnifying Borrowers against other Loan Parties under this Section 14.7 shall be exercisable upon the full and indefeasible payment of the Obligations and the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments.

14.8 Liability Cumulative. The liability of Borrowers under this Section 14 is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each Borrower to Administrative Agent and Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Borrower is a party or in respect of any Obligations or obligation of the other Borrowers, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary.

14.9 Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations hereunder or under the Security Documents in respect of Swap Obligations; provided, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 14.9 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 14.9, or otherwise hereunder or under the Security Documents, voidable under applicable requirements of law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount. The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 14.9 shall remain in full force and effect until the guarantees in respect of Swap Obligations have been discharged, or otherwise released or terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 14.9 constitute, and this Section 14.9 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

Article XV. GUARANTY

15.1 Guaranty of the Obligations. Subject to the provisions of Section 15.2, Guarantors jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guaranty to Administrative Agent and Lenders the due and punctual payment in full of all Obligations (other than Excluded Swap Obligations) when the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code) (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”).

15.2 Contribution by Guarantors. All Guarantors desire to allocate among themselves (collectively, the “Contributing Guarantors”), in a fair and equitable manner, their obligations arising under this Guaranty. Accordingly, in the event any payment or distribution is made on any date by a Guarantor (a “Funding Guarantor”) under this Guaranty such that its Aggregate Payments exceeds its Fair Share as of such date, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each of the other Contributing Guarantors in an amount sufficient to cause each Contributing Guarantor’s Aggregate Payments to equal its Fair Share as of such date. “Fair Share” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (a) the ratio of (i) the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to such Contributing Guarantor, to (ii) the aggregate of the Fair Share Contribution Amounts with respect to all Contributing Guarantors multiplied by, (b) the aggregate amount paid or distributed on or before such date by all Funding Guarantors under this Guaranty in respect of the obligations Guaranteed. “Fair Share Contribution Amount” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations of such Contributing Guarantor under this Guaranty that would not render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any comparable applicable provisions of state law; provided, solely for purposes of calculating the “Fair Share Contribution Amount” with respect to any Contributing Guarantor for purposes of this Section 15.2, any assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any rights to or obligations of contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor. “Aggregate Payments” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (1) the aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor in respect of this Guaranty (including, without limitation, in respect of this Section 15.2), minus (2) the aggregate amount of all payments received on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor from the other Contributing Guarantors as contributions under this Section 15.2. The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the applicable Funding Guarantor. The allocation among Contributing Guarantors of their obligations as set forth in this Section 15.2 shall not be construed in any way to limit the liability of any Contributing Guarantor hereunder. Each Guarantor is a third-party beneficiary to the contribution agreement set forth in this Section 15.2.

141

15.3 Payment by Guarantors. Subject to Section 15.2, Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree, in furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which Administrative Agent or any Lender may have at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, that upon the failure of any Borrower to pay any of the Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code), Guarantors will upon demand pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of itself and the Lenders, an amount equal to the sum of the unpaid principal amount of all Guaranteed Obligations then due as aforesaid, accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (including interest which, but for any Borrower’s becoming the subject of a case under the Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on such Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against such Borrower for such interest in the related bankruptcy case) and all other Guaranteed Obligations then owed to Agent and Lenders as aforesaid.

142

15.4 Liability of Guarantors Absolute. Each Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder are irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance which constitutes a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, each Guarantor agrees as follows:

15.4.1 this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and not of collectability. This Guaranty is a primary obligation of each Guarantor and not merely a contract of surety;

15.4.2 Administrative Agent may enforce this Guaranty upon the occurrence of an Event of Default notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between any Borrower and Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to the existence of such Event of Default;

15.4.3 the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of Borrowers and the obligations of any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the obligations of Borrowers, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against such Guarantor whether or not any action is brought against any Borrower or any of such other guarantors and whether or not any Borrower is joined in any such action or actions;

15.4.4 payment by any Guarantor of a portion, but not all, of the Guaranteed Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge any Guarantor’s liability for any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which has not been paid. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Administrative Agent or any Lender is awarded a judgment in any suit brought to enforce any Guarantor’s covenant to pay a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations, such judgment shall not be deemed to release such Guarantor from its covenant to pay the portion of the Guaranteed Obligations that is not the subject of such suit, and such judgment shall not, except to the extent satisfied by such Guarantor, limit, affect, modify or abridge any other Guarantor’s liability hereunder in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations;

15.4.5 Administrative Agent and/or Lenders, upon such terms as they deem appropriate, without notice or demand and without affecting the validity or enforceability hereof or giving rise to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination of any Guarantor’s liability hereunder, from time to time may (i) renew, extend, accelerate, increase the rate of interest on, or otherwise change the time, place, manner or terms of payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) settle, compromise, release or discharge, or accept or refuse any offer of performance with respect to, or substitutions for, the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto and/or subordinate the payment of the same to the payment of any other obligations; (iii) request and accept other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations and take and hold security for the payment hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) release, surrender, exchange, substitute, compromise, settle, rescind, waive, alter, subordinate or modify, with or without consideration, any security for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, any other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other obligation of any Person (including any other Guarantor) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) enforce and apply any security now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of Administrative Agent for the benefit of itself and the Lenders in respect hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, or exercise any other right or remedy that Administrative Agent may have against any such security, in each case as Administrative Agent in its discretion may determine consistent herewith or any applicable security agreement, including foreclosure on any such security pursuant to one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable, and even though such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Guarantor against any Borrower or any security for the Guaranteed Obligations; and (vi) exercise any other rights available to it under the Loan Documents; and

143

15.4.6 this Guaranty and the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination for any reason (other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations), including the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not any Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (i) any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under the Loan Documents, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including provisions relating to events of default) hereof, any of the other Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any other guaranty or security for the Guaranteed Obligations, in each case whether or not in accordance with the terms hereof or such Loan Document, or any agreement relating to such other guaranty or security; (iii) the Guaranteed Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect; (iv) the application of payments received from any source (other than payments received pursuant to the other Loan Documents or from the proceeds of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, except to the extent such security also serves as collateral for indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations) to the payment of indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations, even though Administrative Agent or Lenders might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) Administrative Agent’s or Lenders’ consent to the change, reorganization or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any Borrower and to any corresponding restructuring of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vi) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a security interest in any collateral which secures any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vii) any defenses, set-offs or counterclaims which any Borrower may allege or assert against Administrative Agent or any Lender in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury; and (viii) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing, which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor as an obligor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.

15.5 Waivers by Guarantors. Each Guarantor hereby waives, for the benefit of Administrative Agent and each Lender: (a) any right to require Administrative Agent or any Lender, as a condition of payment or performance by such Guarantor, to (i) proceed against any Borrower, any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from any Borrower, any such other guarantor or any other Person, (iii) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any Deposit Account, securities account or commodities account or credit on the books of Administrative Agent or any Lender in favor of any Borrower or any other Person, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the power of Administrative Agent or any Lender whatsoever; (b) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of any Borrower or any other Guarantor including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of any Borrower or any other Guarantor from any cause other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (d) any defense based upon Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations; (e) (i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms hereof and any legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, (ii) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (iii) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (iv) promptness, diligence and any requirement that Administrative Agent or any Lender protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto; (f) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance hereof, notices of default hereunder or any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to Borrowers and notices of any of the matters referred to in Section 15.4 and any right to consent to any thereof; and (g) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms hereof.

144

15.6 Guarantors’ Rights of Subrogation, Contribution, etc. Until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Revolving Credit Commitment shall have terminated and all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled, each Guarantor hereby waives any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against any Borrower or any other Guarantor or any of its assets in connection with this Guaranty or the performance by such Guarantor of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise and including without limitation (a) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against any Borrower with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, (b) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy that Administrative Agent or any Lender now has or may hereafter have against any Borrower, and (c) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any collateral or security now or hereafter held by Administrative Agent or any Lender. In addition, until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Revolving Credit Commitment shall have terminated and all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled, each Guarantor shall withhold exercise of any right of contribution such Guarantor may have against any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations, including, without limitation, any such right of contribution as contemplated by Section 15.2. Each Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent the waiver or agreement to withhold the exercise of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification such Guarantor may have against any Borrower or against any collateral or security, and any rights of contribution such Guarantor may have against any such other guarantor, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against any Borrower, to all right, title and interest Administrative Agent or Lender may have in any such collateral or security, and to any right Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against such other guarantor. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of any such subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution rights at any time when all Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been finally and indefeasibly paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for Administrative Agent and Lenders and shall forthwith be paid over to Administrative Agent to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms hereof.

145

15.7 Subordination of Other Obligations. Any indebtedness of any Borrower or any Guarantor now or hereafter held by any Guarantor (the “Obligee Guarantor”) is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the Guaranteed Obligations, and any such indebtedness collected or received by the Obligee Guarantor after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing shall be held in trust for Administrative Agent and Lenders and shall forthwith be paid over to Administrative Agent to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations but without affecting, impairing or limiting in any manner the liability of the Obligee Guarantor under any other provision hereof.

15.8 Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in effect until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Revolving Credit Commitment shall have terminated and all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty as to future transactions giving rise to any Guaranteed Obligations.

15.9 Authority of Guarantors or Borrowers. It is not necessary for Administrative Agent or any Lender to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Guarantor or any Borrower or the officers, directors or any agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any of them.

15.10 Financial Condition of Borrowers. Any Loan may be made to Borrowers or continued from time to time, without notice to or authorization from any Guarantor regardless of the financial or other condition of Borrowers at the time of any such grant or continuation. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to disclose or discuss with any Guarantor its assessment, or any Guarantor’s assessment, of the financial condition of any Borrower. Each Guarantor has adequate means to obtain information from each Borrower on a continuing basis concerning the financial condition of such Borrower and its ability to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents, and each Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of Borrowers and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of Administrative Agent or any Lender to disclose any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, operations or conditions of any Borrower now known or hereafter known by Administrative Agent or any Lender.

146

15.11 Bankruptcy, etc. So long as any Guaranteed Obligations remain outstanding, no Guarantor shall, without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, commence or join with any other Person in commencing any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency case or proceeding of or against any Borrower or any other Guarantor.

15.11.1 The obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall not be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, deferred, suspended or terminated by any case or proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of any Borrower or any other Guarantor or by any defense which any Borrower or any other Guarantor may have by reason of the order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding.

15.11.2 Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which accrues after the commencement of any case or proceeding referred to in Section 15.11.1 above (or, if interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of the commencement of such case or proceeding, such interest as would have accrued on such portion of the Guaranteed Obligations if such case or proceeding had not been commenced) shall be included in the Guaranteed Obligations because it is the intention of Guarantors and Administrative Agent and Lenders that the Guaranteed Obligations which are guaranteed by Guarantors pursuant hereto should be determined without regard to any rule of law or order which may relieve any Borrower of any portion of such Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantors will permit any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar person to pay Administrative Agent and Lenders, or allow the claim of Administrative Agent and Lenders in respect of, any such interest accruing after the date on which such case or proceeding is commenced.

15.11.3 In the event that all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid by any Borrower, the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall continue and remain in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, in the event that all or any part of such payment(s) are rescinded or recovered directly or indirectly from Administrative Agent or any Lender as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise, and any such payments which are so rescinded or recovered shall constitute Guaranteed Obligations for all purposes hereunder.
