Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment, without the consent of any other Term Lenders, to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to (i) reflect the existence and terms of the Refinancing Term Loans incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Term Loans subject thereto as Refinancing Term Loans), (ii) provide certain class protection to the Term Lenders and Additional Refinancing Lenders providing such Refinancing Term Loans with respect to voluntary prepayments and mandatory prepayments and (iii) effect such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Term Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.05, and the Required Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Term Administrative Agent to enter into any such Refinancing Amendment.

SECTION 2.06. [Reserved]

SECTION 2.07. Funding of Refinancing Term Loans. (a) Each Refinancing Term Lender shall make each Refinancing Term Loan to be made by it hereunder on the date specified in the applicable Borrowing Request by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 3:00 p.m., New York time, to the account of the Term Administrative Agent designated by it for such purpose by notice to the applicable Refinancing Term Lenders in an amount equal to such Refinancing Term Lender’s Refinancing Term Commitment. The Term Administrative Agent will make the proceeds of such Refinancing Term Loans received by the Term Administrative Agent hereunder available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to the account directed by the Borrower.

(b) The failure of any Refinancing Term Lender to make the Refinancing Term Loan to be made by it on the applicable borrowing date shall not relieve any other Refinancing Term Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its Refinancing Term Loan on the applicable borrowing date, but no Refinancing Term Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Refinancing Term Lender to make the Refinancing Term Loan to be made by such other Refinancing Term Lender on the applicable borrowing date.

SECTION 2.08. Interest Elections. (a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert any Class of outstanding Term Loans (i) from Eurodollar Loans to ABR Loans or (ii) from ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans by giving the Term Administrative Agent notice of such election in accordance with clause (b) below. Any Term Loans which are Eurodollar Loans may be continued as such upon the expiration of an Interest Period with respect thereto by giving the Term Administrative Agent notice not later than 1:00 p.m. New York time, three Business Days’ prior to the continuation date. Upon receipt of such notice, the Term Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected Term Lender thereof. On the date on which such conversion or continuation is being made, each such affected Term Lender shall take such action as is necessary to effect such conversion or continuation. All or any part of the outstanding Term Loans may be converted or continued as provided herein.

-32-

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Term Administrative Agent of such election by telephone, (i) in the case of conversion from ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans or a continuation of Eurodollar Loans not later than 1:00 p.m. New York time, three Business Days prior to the conversion date and (ii) in the case of conversion from Eurodollar Loans to ABR Loans not later than 12:00 p.m. New York time, on the conversion date. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or facsimile to the Term Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Term Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower.

(i) the Term Loans to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each Term Loan (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each Term Loan);

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether the Term Loan is to be converted to an ABR Loan or a Eurodollar Loan or continued as a Eurodollar Loan; and

(iv) if the Term Loans are to be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Loan, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Loan but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Term Administrative Agent shall advise each Term Lender of the details thereof and of such Term Lender’s portion of each resulting conversion or continuation.

(e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Term Loan is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Term Loan shall be converted to an ABR Loan. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if a Default has occurred and is continuing and the Term Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Term Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as a Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Term Loan may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Loan and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Loan shall be converted to an ABR Loan at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

SECTION 2.09. [Reserved]

SECTION 2.10. Repayment of Term Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) (i) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Term Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Term Lenders on the last Business Day of each April, July, October and January, (x) commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date until the last such date to occur prior to the Restatement Effective Date, an aggregate amount equal to 0.25% of the aggregate amount of all Term Loans outstanding as of the Closing Date (which payments shall be reduced as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with the order of priority set forth in Section 2.11 of the Original Credit Agreement), and (y) commencing on the first such date to occur after the Restatement

-33-

Effective Date, (1) to the Term B-1 Lenders, an aggregate amount equal to the product of the amount required by Section 2.10(a) of the Original Credit Agreement as in effect immediately prior to the Restatement Effective Date multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the amount of the Term B-1 Loans on the Restatement Effective Date and the denominator of which is the amount of Original Term Loans immediately prior to the Restatement Effective Date, and (2) to the Term B-2 Lenders, an aggregate amount equal to 0.25% of the aggregate amount of the Term B-2 Loans outstanding on the Restatement Effective Date after giving effect to the prepayment required by Section 2.11(f) (which payments described in this Section 2.10(a)(i)(y) shall be reduced with respect to each Class of Term Loans as a result of the application of prepayments (other than pursuant to Section 2.11(f)), made on or after the Restatement Effective Date, in accordance with the order of priority set forth in Section 2.11 or in connection with any Extension as provided in Section 2.04), and (ii) the Borrower shall repay to the Term Administrative Agent, on the applicable Term Loan Maturity Date for each Class of Term Loans, the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans of such Class outstanding on such date for the ratable account of the Term Lenders of such Class of Term Loans.

(b) Each Term Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Term Lender resulting from any Term Loan made by such Term Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Term Lender from time to time hereunder.

(c) The Term Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount and Class of each Term Loan made hereunder, whether such Term Loans are ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Term Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Term Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Term Lenders and each Term Lender’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to clause (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Term Lender or the Term Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Term Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Any Term Lender may request that any Term Loan made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Term Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Term Lender (or, if requested by such Term Lender, to such Term Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Term Administrative Agent. Thereafter, such Term Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

SECTION 2.11. Prepayment of Term Loans. (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time, subject to Section 2.16, to prepay any Term Loans borrowed by it which are then outstanding, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (except as provided in Section 2.12(c)), upon notice by telephone (confirmed by facsimile) to the Term Administrative Agent (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Loan, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify (x) the prepayment date, (y) the Class or Classes of Term Loans to be prepaid and the principal amount of the Term Loans to be prepaid and (z) whether the prepayment is of Eurodollar Loans

-34-

or ABR Loans or a combination thereof, and, if of a combination thereof, the amount of prepayment allocable to each; provided that such notice requirements are waived with respect to the prepayment required by Section 2.11(f); provided further that in the case of a final prepayment in anticipation of a refinancing of the Borrower’s Indebtedness under this Agreement, any such notice may state that is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Term Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date) if such condition is not satisfied. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Term Administrative Agent shall advise the Term Lenders of the contents thereof. If any such notice is given, the Borrower will make the prepayment specified therein, and such prepayment shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Each partial prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.11(a) shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the entire amount reasonably outstanding); provided that such minimum and multiple requirements shall be waived with respect to the prepayment required by Section 2.11(f). Any such optional prepayments of the Term Loans shall be applied to the remaining installments of any Class of Term Loans as determined by the Borrower; provided that (A) such prepayment is applied to the Term B-1 Loans of the Term B-1 Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares on a not less than pro rata basis (based on the outstanding principal amounts of all respective Classes of Term Loans) with respect to each other Class of Term Loans then outstanding and (B) to the extent any prepayment is to be applied to any other Class of Term Loans, such prepayment shall be applied to such Class of Term Loans on a pro rata basis in accordance with the Pro Rata Shares of the applicable Term Lenders. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13.

(b) In the event and on each occasion that (x) any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of Holdings or any Loan Party from an Asset Sale, Property Loss Event or Debt Issuance, the Borrower shall, promptly after such Net Proceeds are received by Holdings or any Loan Party, prepay the Obligations as set forth in Section 2.11(d) below in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Net Proceeds or (y) any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of the Real Property Holding Company from a Property Sale, the Borrower shall, promptly after such Net Proceeds are received by the Real Property Holding Company, prepay the Obligations as set forth in Section 2.11(d) below in an aggregate amount equal to 75% of such Net Proceeds; provided that, in the case of an Asset Sale or Property Loss Event, if the Borrower shall deliver to the Term Administrative Agent a certificate of a Financial Officer to the effect that the Loan Parties intend to apply the Net Proceeds from such event (or a portion thereof specified in such certificate), within 180 days after receipt of such Net Proceeds, to acquire (or replace) equipment or other tangible assets (excluding inventory) to be used in the business of the Loan Parties, and certifying that no Default has occurred and is continuing, then no prepayment shall be required pursuant to this clause in respect of the Net Proceeds specified in such certificate; provided, further, that to the extent that any such Net Proceeds therefrom have not been so reinvested by the end of such 180-day period, a prepayment shall be required at such time in an amount equal to such Net Proceeds that have not been so reinvested; and provided, further, that the total aggregate amount of Net Proceeds to be so reinvested by the Loan Parties pursuant to this Section 2.11(b) during the term of this Agreement shall not exceed $37,500,000.

(c) The Borrower shall prepay the Term Loans within 5 days after the date on which the Borrower is required to deliver its financial statements pursuant to Section 5.01(a) hereof, in an amount equal to (i) the ECF Percentage of Excess Cash Flow for the fiscal year covered by such financial statements minus (ii) the sum of all (x) voluntary prepayments of Term Loans during such fiscal year pursuant to Section 2.11(a) and (y) all voluntary prepayments of ABL Loans during such fiscal year to the extent the ABL Credit Commitments are permanently reduced by the amount of such prepayments. Any mandatory prepayment shall be applied as set forth in Section 2.11(d) below.

-35-

(d) All amounts required to be applied to prepay the Obligations pursuant to Sections 2.11(b) and (c) shall be applied on a pro rata basis to each Class of Term Loans (based on the then outstanding principal amounts of the respective Classes of the Term Loans) in accordance with the Pro Rata Shares of the Term Lenders, in the direct order of the installments thereof during the first twelve months after the payment date and ratably thereafter in accordance with the then outstanding amounts thereof and may not be reborrowed; provided that Net Proceeds of Asset Sales or Property Loss Events of Term Facility Primary Collateral and ABL Facility Primary Collateral shall be applied, as between the ABL Lenders and the Term Lenders, in the manner set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement.

(e) In the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are received by the Borrower from the issuance of any Refinancing Term Loans, the Borrower shall, on the Business Day that such Net Proceeds are received by the Borrower, prepay the Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Net Proceeds. Such Net Proceeds shall be applied first to the Term B-1 Loans of the Term B-1 Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares and second to any other Class or Classes of Term Loans as selected by the Borrower in accordance with the Pro Rata Shares of the applicable Term Lenders of such Class or Classes, in each case in the direct order of the installments thereof during the first twelve months after the payment date and ratably thereafter in accordance with the then outstanding amounts thereof and may not be reborrowed.

(f) On the Restatement Effective Date, the Borrower shall prepay $34,400,000 aggregate principal amount of the Term B-2 Loans of the Term B-2 Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, which shall be applied to reduce the amount due in respect of the Term B-2 Loans on the Extended Maturity Date (and not to any installment prior thereto). Each Term B-2 Lender hereby waives any costs payable under Section 2.16 in connection with the prepayment pursuant to this clause (f).

(g) Discounted Voluntary Prepayments.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any Purchasing Borrower Party shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay Term Loans of any Class to the applicable Term Lenders at a discount to the par value of such Term Loans and on a non pro rata basis (each, a “Discounted Voluntary Prepayment”) pursuant to the procedures described in this Section 2.11(g); provided that (A) immediately after giving effect to any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, the sum of (x) the excess of the aggregate Availability (under and as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement as in effect on the Restatement Effective Date) at such time plus (y) the amount of Unrestricted Cash of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries at such time shall be not less than $40,000,000, (B) any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall be offered to all Term Lenders of the Class or Classes selected by the Borrower on a pro rata basis, (C) at least five (5) Business Days shall have passed since the consummation of the most recent Discounted Voluntary Prepayment as a result of a prepayment made by the Borrower or at least three (3) Business Days shall have passed since the Borrower was notified that no applicable Term Lender was willing to accept any prepayment of any Term Loans at the specified discount price or within the Discount Range or at any discount to par value, as applicable and (D) the Purchasing Borrower Party shall deliver to the Term Administrative Agent, together with each Discounted Prepayment Option Notice, a certificate of a Responsible Officer (1) stating that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, (2) stating that each of the conditions to such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment contained in this Section 2.11(g) has been satisfied and (3) specifying the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans of each Class to be prepaid pursuant to such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment.

-36-

(ii) To the extent the Borrower seeks to make a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, the Borrower will provide written notice to the Term Administrative Agent substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto (each, a “Discounted Prepayment Option Notice”) that the Borrower desires to prepay Term Loans of the Class stipulated therein in an aggregate principal amount specified therein by the Borrower (each, a “Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount”), in each case at a discount to the par value of such Term Loans as specified below. The Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount of any Term Loans shall not be less than $1,000,000 in aggregate. The Discounted Prepayment Option Notice shall further specify with respect to the proposed Discounted Voluntary Prepayment (A) the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount for Term Loans of each Class to be prepaid, (B) a discount range (which may be a single percentage) selected by the Borrower with respect to such proposed Discounted Voluntary Prepayment equal to a percentage of par of the principal amount of the Term Loans to be prepaid (the “Discount Range”) (it being understood that the Borrower may specify a different Discount Range for each Class of Term Loans offered to be prepaid), and (C) the date by which Term Lenders are required to indicate their election to participate in such proposed Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, which shall be at least five Business Days and not more than seven Business Days following the date of the Discounted Prepayment Option Notice unless the Borrower and the Term Administrative Agent shall otherwise agree (the “Acceptance Date”).

(iii) Upon receipt of a Discounted Prepayment Option Notice, the Term Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Term Lender thereof. On or prior to the Acceptance Date, each such Term Lender may specify by written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto (each, a “Lender Participation Notice”) to the Term Administrative Agent (A) a maximum discount to par (the “Acceptable Discount”) within the Discount Range (for example, a Term Lender specifying a discount to par of 20% would accept a purchase price of 80% of the par value of the Term Loans to be prepaid) and (B) a maximum principal amount (subject to rounding requirements reasonably specified by the Term Administrative Agent) of the Term Loans to be prepaid held by such Term Lender with respect to which such Term Lender is willing to permit a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment at the Acceptable Discount (“Offered Loans”). Based on the Acceptable Discounts and principal amounts of the Term Loans to be prepaid specified by the Term Lenders in the applicable Lender Participation Notice, the Borrower, in consultation with the Term Administrative Agent, shall determine the applicable discount for such Term Loans to be prepaid (the “Applicable Discount”), which Applicable Discount shall be (I) the percentage specified by the Borrower if the Borrower has selected a single percentage pursuant to Section 2.11(g)(ii) for the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment or (II) otherwise, the highest Acceptable Discount at which the Borrower will pay the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount in full (determined by adding the principal amounts of Offered Loans commencing with the Offered Loans with the highest Acceptable Discount); provided, however, that in the event that such Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount cannot be repaid in full at any Acceptable Discount, the Applicable Discount shall be the lowest Acceptable Discount specified by the Term Lenders that is within the Discount Range. The Applicable Discount shall be applicable for all Term Lenders who have offered to participate in the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment and have Qualifying Loans. Any Term Lender with outstanding Term Loans to be prepaid whose Lender Participation Notice is not received by the Term Administrative Agent by the Acceptance Date shall be deemed to have declined to accept a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment of any of its Term Loans at any discount to their par value within the Applicable Discount.

(iv) The Borrower shall make a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment by prepaying in accordance with this Section 2.11(g) those Term Loans to be prepaid (or the respective portions thereof) offered by the Term Lenders (“Qualifying Lenders”) that specify an Acceptable Discount

-37-

that is equal to or greater than the Applicable Discount (“Qualifying Loans”) at the Applicable Discount; provided that if the aggregate proceeds required to prepay all Qualifying Loans (disregarding any interest payable at such time) would exceed the amount of aggregate proceeds required to prepay the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount, such amounts in each case calculated by applying the Applicable Discount, the Borrower shall prepay such Qualifying Loans ratably among the Qualifying Lenders based on their respective principal amounts of such Qualifying Loans (subject to rounding requirements reasonably specified by the Term Administrative Agent). If the aggregate proceeds required to prepay all Qualifying Loans (disregarding any interest payable at such time) would be less than the amount of aggregate proceeds required to prepay the Proposed Discounted Prepayment Amount, such amounts in each case calculated by applying the Applicable Discount, the Borrower shall prepay all Qualifying Loans.

(v) Each Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall be made within five (5) Business Days of the Acceptance Date (or such later date as the Term Administrative Agent shall reasonably agree, given the time required to calculate the Applicable Discount and determine the amount and holders of Qualifying Loans), without premium or penalty (but subject to Section 2.16), upon irrevocable notice substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto (each a “Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice”), delivered to the Term Administrative Agent no later than 1:00 P.M., three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, which notice shall (x) specify the date and amount of the Discounted Voluntary Prepayment and the Applicable Discount determined by the Borrower and the Term Administrative Agent and (y) shall include a representation from the Borrower that, at the time of delivery of such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice and as of the date of such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment, it is not in possession of material non-public information with respect to Holdings, the Borrower, their Subsidiaries or their respective securities for purposes of the United States securities laws that has not been disclosed to any Term Lender participating in such Discounted Voluntary Prepayment (it being understood and agreed that projections or other information posted to private lenders via Intralinks (or any similar service) or presented to private lenders on conference calls announced via Intralinks (or any similar service) shall not constitute material non-public information). Upon receipt of any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice, the Term Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Term Lender thereof. If any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable to the applicable Term Lenders, subject to the Applicable Discount on the applicable Loans, on the date specified therein together with accrued interest (on the par principal amount) to but not including such date on the amount prepaid. The par principal amount of each Discounted Voluntary Prepayment of a Term Loan shall be applied ratably to reduce the remaining installments of such Class of Term Loans (as applicable).

(vi) To the extent not expressly provided for herein, each Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall be consummated pursuant to reasonable procedures (including as to timing, rounding, minimum amounts, Type and Interest Periods and calculation of Applicable Discount in accordance with Section 2.11(g)(iii) above) established by the Term Administrative Agent and the Borrower.

(vii) Prior to the delivery of a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment Notice, (A) upon written notice to the Term Administrative Agent, the Borrower may withdraw or modify (other than in respect of the Acceptance Date, unless the Borrower and the Term Administrative Agent shall otherwise agree) its offer to make a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment pursuant to any Discounted Prepayment Option Notice and (B) no Term Lender may withdraw its offer to participate in a Discounted Voluntary Prepayment pursuant to any Lender Participation Notice unless the terms of such proposed Discounted Voluntary Prepayment have been modified by the Borrower after the date of such Lender Participation Notice.

-38-

(viii) Nothing in this Section 2.11(g) shall require the Borrower to undertake any Discounted Voluntary Prepayment. No Discounted Voluntary Prepayment shall constitute a prepayment for purposes of Section 2.11(a).

(ix) Any Term Loans assigned to or purchased by any Purchasing Borrower Party shall be automatically and permanently cancelled within ten Business Days following the effectiveness of such assignment or purchase and will thereafter no longer be outstanding for any purpose hereunder.

(h) Any Term Loans may be exchanged for Qualified Subordinated PIK Debt to the extent permitted by Section 6.01(p), and any Term Loans cancelled in any such exchange shall not be deemed to be prepaid for purposes of this Section 2.11, 2.18(c) or otherwise.

SECTION 2.12. Fees.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Term Administrative Agent fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon in writing between the Borrower and the Term Administrative Agent.

(b) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Term Administrative Agent. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances except where paid in error.

(c) In the event that on or after January 28, 2011 and prior to January 28, 2012 (i) the Borrower prepays any Term Loan with the proceeds of other Indebtedness that bears interest at an effective interest rate lower than the interest rate applicable to the Term Loans or (ii) requires that any Term Loan be assigned in accordance with Section 9.02(d), then the Borrower shall pay a fee (x) in the case of clause (i) above, to each Term Lender whose Term Loan is so prepaid, equal to 1% of the principal amount of such Term Lender’s Term Loan that is prepaid and (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, to each Term Lender that is required to assign a Term Loan pursuant to Section 9.02(d) a fee equal to 1% of the principal amount of the Term Loan required to be assigned.

SECTION 2.13. Interest. (a) The ABR Loans shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(b) The Eurodollar Loans shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Eurodollar Loan plus the Applicable Rate.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default pursuant to clauses (a), (b), (d) (with respect to Section 5.10), (g), (h) or (i) of Article VII, the Term Administrative Agent or the Required Term Lenders may, at their option, declare that all Term Loans shall bear interest at 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Term Loans as provided in the preceding clauses of this Section, provided that such declaration may be revoked at the option of the Required Term Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 9.02 requiring the consent of “each Term Lender affected thereby” for reductions in interest rates.

-39-

(d) In addition to the cash interest rate set forth in clauses (a), (b) and (c) of this Section, the Term B-2 Loans shall bear interest at a rate of (x) at any time that the Ratings Condition does not exist, 3.00% per annum or (y) at any time that the Ratings Condition does exist, 4.00% per annum.

(e) Accrued interest on each Term Loan (i) pursuant to clauses (a), (b) and (c) of this Section shall be payable in cash in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Term Loan and (ii) pursuant to clause (d) of this Section 2.13 shall only (except as provided in clause (x) below) be payable by automatically increasing the principal amount of each Term B-2 Loan on each annual anniversary of the Restatement Effective Date and the Extended Maturity Date; provided that (x) interest accrued pursuant to clause (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (y) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Term Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (z) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Term Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(f) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Term Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.14. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Loan:

(a) the Term Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or

(b) the Term Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Term Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Term Lenders (or Term Lender) of making or maintaining their Term Loans (or its Term Loan) for such Interest Period;

then the Term Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Term Lenders by telephone or facsimile as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Term Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Term Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Term Loan to, or continuation of any Term Loan as, a Eurodollar Loan shall be ineffective.

SECTION 2.15. Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law after the Closing Date shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Term Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate); or

-40-

(ii) impose on any Term Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Term Lender; and the result of any of the foregoing shall be, by an amount that such Term Lender deems to be material, to increase the cost to such Term Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Term Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Term Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) (in each case, other than with respect to any Taxes), then the Borrower will pay to such Term Lender, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Term Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

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

(c) A certificate of a Term Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Term Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in clause (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Term Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Term Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Term Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Term Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Term Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Term Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 2.16. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.11(a) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Term Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Term Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Term Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Term Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Term Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Term Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Term Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Term

-41-

Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Term Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Term Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.17. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Term Administrative Agent, Term Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Term Administrative Agent and each Term Lender within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Term Administrative Agent or such Term Lender on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Term Lender or by the Term Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Term Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

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

(e) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Term Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.

(f) If any Term Lender or the Term Administrative Agent shall become aware that it is entitled to receive a refund in respect of amounts paid by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.17, which refund in the sole good faith judgment of such Term Lender or Term Administrative Agent is allocable to such payment, it shall promptly notify the Borrower of the availability of such refund and shall, within thirty (30) days after the receipt of a request by the Borrower, apply for such refund. If the Term Administrative Agent or a Term Lender determines, in its sole good faith discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional

-42-

amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Term Administrative Agent or such Term Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of the Term Administrative Agent or such Term Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Term Administrative Agent or such Term Lender in the event the Term Administrative Agent or such Term Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require the Term Administrative Agent or any Term Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

SECTION 2.18. Payments Generally; Allocation of Proceeds; Sharing of Set-offs. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 1:00 p.m., New York time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Term Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Term Administrative Agent at its offices at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Term Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in dollars.

(b) Any proceeds of Collateral received by the Term Administrative Agent pursuant to the Collateral Documents (i) not constituting either (A) a specific payment of principal, interest, fees or other sum payable under the Loan Documents (which shall be applied as specified by the Borrower) or (B) a mandatory prepayment (which shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.11) or (ii) after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Term Administrative Agent so elects or the Required Term Lenders so direct, shall be applied ratably first, to pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements including amounts then due to the Term Administrative Agent from the Borrower, second, to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to the Term Lenders from the Borrower, third, to pay interest then due and payable on the Term Loans ratably, fourth, to prepay principal on the Term Loans ratably, and fifth, to the payment of any other Obligation due to the Term Administrative Agent or any Term Lender by the Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, unless so directed by the Borrower, or unless a Default is in existence, neither the Term Administrative Agent nor any Term Lender shall apply any payment which it receives to any Eurodollar Loan, except (a) on the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable to any such Eurodollar Loan or (b) in the event, and only to the extent, that there are no outstanding ABR Loans and, in any event, the Borrower shall pay the break funding payment required in accordance with Section 2.16. The Term Administrative Agent and the Term Lenders shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and reverse and reapply any and all such proceeds and payments to any portion of the Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the proceeds of Term Facility Primary Collateral and ABL Facility Primary Collateral shall be applied as between the ABL Lenders and the Term Lenders, in the manner set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement.

(c) If any Term Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Term Loans (other than pursuant to Section 2.11(g)) resulting in such Term Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of

-43-

the aggregate amount of its Term Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Term Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Term Loans of other Term Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Term Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Term Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this clause shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Term Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Term Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than pursuant to Section 2.11(g)) or, except as specifically permitted by this Agreement, an Affiliate thereof (in each case as to which the provisions of this clause shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Term Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Term Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(d) Unless the Term Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Term Administrative Agent for the account of the Term Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Term Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Term Lenders on such due date the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Term Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Term Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Term Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Term Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Term Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(e) If any Term Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it hereunder, then the Term Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Term Administrative Agent for the account of such Term Lender to satisfy such Term Lender’s obligations hereunder until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

SECTION 2.19. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Term Lenders. If any Term Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Term Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Term Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then:

(a) such Term Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Term Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Term Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Term Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Term Lender (and the Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Term Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment);

-44-

(b) the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, require such Term Lender or any Term Lender that defaults in its obligation to fund Term Loans hereunder (herein, a “Departing Lender”), upon notice to the Departing Lender and the Term Administrative Agent, to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Term Lender, if a Term Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Term Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) the Departing Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Term Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Departing Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Term Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

SECTION 2.20. Returned Payments. If after receipt of any payment which is applied to the payment of all or any part of the Obligations, the Term Administrative Agent or any Term Lender is for any reason compelled to surrender such payment or proceeds to any Person because such payment or application of proceeds is invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside, determined to be void or voidable as a preference, impermissible setoff, or a diversion of trust funds, or for any other reason, then the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued and this Agreement shall continue in full force as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the Term Administrative Agent or such Term Lender. The provisions of this Section 2.20 shall be and remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by the Term Administrative Agent or any Term Lender in reliance upon such payment or application of proceeds. The provisions of this Section 2.20 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII

Each of the Term Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Term Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Term Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf, including execution of the other Loan Documents, and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Term Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

The bank serving as the Term Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Term Lender as any other Term Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Term Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary of a Loan Party or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Term Administrative Agent hereunder.

(b) Limited Duties. The Term Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Term Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing,

-73-

(b) the Term Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Term Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Term Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Term Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Term Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Term Administrative Agent or any of their Affiliates in any capacity. The Term Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Term Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Term Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Term Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Term Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Term Lender. The Term Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection with any Loan Document, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the creation, perfection or priority of Liens on the Collateral or the existence of the Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Term Administrative Agent.

The Term Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Term Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Term Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

(d) Delegation of Rights and Duties. The Term Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Term Administrative Agent. The Term Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding clauses shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Term Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Term Administrative Agent.

(e) Resignation of Term Administrative Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Term Administrative Agent as provided in this clause, the Term Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Term Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Term Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Term Lenders and shall have accepted

-74-

such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Term Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Term Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Term Lenders, appoint a successor Term Administrative Agent which shall be a commercial bank or an Affiliate of any such commercial bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Term Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Term Administrative Agent and the retiring Term Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Term Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the Term Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Term Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Term Administrative Agent.

(f) Lender Credit Decision. Each Term Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Term Administrative Agent or any other Term Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Term Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Term Administrative Agent or any other Term Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

(g) Reports. Each Term Lender hereby agrees that (a) it has requested a copy of each Report prepared by or on behalf of the ABL Administrative Agent under the ABL Credit Agreement; (b) the ABL Administrative Agent (i) makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the completeness or accuracy of any Report or any of the information contained therein or any inaccuracy or omission contained in or relating to a Report and (ii) shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report; (c) the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, and that any Person performing any field examination will inspect only specific information regarding the Loan Parties and will rely significantly upon the Loan Parties’ books and records, as well as on representations of the Loan Parties’ personnel and that the ABL Administrative Agent undertakes no obligation to update, correct or supplement the Reports; (d) it will keep all Reports confidential and strictly for its internal use, not share the Report with any Loan Party or any other Person except as otherwise permitted pursuant to the ABL Credit Agreement; and (e) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, it will pay and protect, and indemnify, defend, and hold the ABL Administrative Agent and any such other Person preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including reasonable attorney fees) incurred by any such Person as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Term Lender.

The Term Administrative Agent or the Borrower (on behalf of the Loan Parties) may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

SECTION 9.02. Waivers; Amendments . (a) No failure or delay by the Term Administrative Agent or any Term Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Term Administrative Agent and the Term Lenders hereunder and under any other Loan Document are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by clause (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Term Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Term Administrative Agent or any Term Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (i) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Term Lenders or, (ii) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Term Administrative Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, with the consent of the Required Term Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Term Commitment of any Term Lender without the written consent of such Term Lender, (ii) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Term Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce or forgive any interest or fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Term Lender directly affected thereby, (iii) postpone the Term Loan Maturity Date or any scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Term Loan, or any date for the payment of any interest, fees or other Obligations payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Term Commitment, without the written consent of each Term Lender directly affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.18(b) or (d) in a manner that would alter the manner in which payments are shared, without the written consent of each Term Lender, (v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Term Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying

-77-

the number or percentage of Term Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Term Lender, (vi) release all or substantially all of the Loan Guarantors from their obligations under the Loan Guaranty (except as otherwise permitted herein or in the other Loan Documents), without the written consent of each Term Lender, or (vii) except as provided in clauses (d) and (e) of this Section or in any Collateral Document, release all or substantially all of the Collateral, without the written consent of each Term Lender; provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Term Administrative Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of the Term Administrative Agent; and provided, further, that with respect to any amendment, waiver or modification of this Agreement or any Loan Document requiring the consent of the Required Term Lenders or of all affected Term Lenders pursuant to this Section 9.02, Ares Capital Markets Group shall not be entitled to vote with respect to any Disqualified Ares Loans. The Term Administrative Agent may also amend the Commitment Schedule to reflect assignments entered into pursuant to Section 9.04.

(c) The Term Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Term Administrative Agent, at its option and in its sole discretion, to release any Loan Guarantor or any Liens granted to the Term Administrative Agent by the Loan Parties on any Collateral (i) upon the payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Obligations (other than Unliquidated Obligations), (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if such sale or disposition is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, (iii) constituting property leased to a Loan Party under a lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement, or (iv) as required to effect any sale or other disposition of such Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Term Administrative Agent and the Term Lenders pursuant to Article VII. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Term Administrative Agent will not release any Liens on Collateral without the prior written authorization of the Required Term Lenders; provided that, the Term Administrative Agent may in its discretion, release its Liens on Collateral valued in the aggregate not in excess of $500,000 during any calendar year without the prior written authorization of the Required Term Lenders. Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of the Loan Parties in respect of) all interests retained by the Loan Parties, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.

(d) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of “each Term Lender” or “each Term Lender affected thereby,” the consent of the Required Term Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other necessary Term Lenders is not obtained (any such Term Lender whose consent is necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Borrower may elect to replace a Non-Consenting Lender as a Term Lender party to this Agreement, provided that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity which is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Term Administrative Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Term Loans and other Obligations due to the Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of clause (b) of Section 9.04, and (ii) the Borrower shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement (1) all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Non-Consenting Lender by the Borrower hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Non-Consenting Lender under Sections 2.15 and 2.17, and (2) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Term Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 2.16 had the Term Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Term Lender.

-78-

SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Borrower and each other Loan Party shall jointly and severally pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Term Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one primary counsel and one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction for the Term Administrative Agent, in connection with the syndication and distribution (including, without limitation, via the internet or through a service such as Intralinks) of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of the Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions of the Loan Documents (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), and the creation, perfection or protection of the Liens under the Loan Documents and (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Term Administrative Agent or any Term Lender, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Term Administrative Agent or any Term Lender, in connection with the enforcement, collection or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Term Loans made hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Term Loans. Expenses being reimbursed by the Borrower under this Section include, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, costs and expenses incurred in connection with:

(i) lien and title searches and title insurance;

(ii) taxes, fees and other charges for filing financing statements and continuations, and other actions to perfect, protect, and continue the Collateral Agent’s Liens;

(iii) sums paid or incurred to take any action required of any Loan Party under the Loan Documents that such Loan Party fails to pay or take; and

(iv) forwarding loan proceeds, collecting checks and other items of payment, and establishing and maintaining the accounts and lock boxes, and costs and expenses of preserving and protecting the Collateral.

(b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Term Administrative Agent, each Syndication Agent (as defined in the Original Credit Agreement) and each Term Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of the Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Term Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability to the extent related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

(c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Term Administrative Agent under clause (a) or (b) of this Section, each Term Lender severally agrees to pay to the Term Administrative Agent, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, penalty, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Term Administrative Agent in its capacity as such.

-79-

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Loan Party shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Term Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor.

Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in clause (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Term Administrative Agent and the Term Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(A) the Borrower, provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Term Lender, an Affiliate of a Term Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default pursuant to clauses (a), (b), (g), (h) or (i) of Article VII has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; and

(B) the Term Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the Term Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment to a Term Lender, an Affiliate of a Term Lender or an Approved Fund.

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

-80-

(B) except in the case of an assignment to a Term Lender or an Affiliate of a Term Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Term Lender’s Term Commitment or Term Loans of any Class, the amount of the Term Commitment or Term Loans of the assigning Term Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Term Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Term Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that (i) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default pursuant to clauses (a), (b), (g), (h) or (i) of Article VII has occurred and is continuing and (ii) such minimum amounts will not apply to any assignment to a Purchasing Borrower Party pursuant to a prepayment permitted by Section 2.11(g) of this Agreement;

(C) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Term Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;

(D) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Term Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; and

(E) the assignee, if it shall not be a Term Lender, shall deliver to the Term Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower, the Loan Parties and their related parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws.

For the purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the term “Approved Fund” has the following meaning:

“Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Term Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Term Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Term Lender.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to clause (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Term Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Term Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Term Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Term Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Term Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Term Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with clause (c) of this Section.

-81-

(iv) The Term Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Term Lenders and principal amount of the Term Loans owing to, each Term Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Term Administrative Agent and the Term Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Term Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Term Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Term Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Term Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in clause (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by clause (b) of this Section, the Term Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.07(b), 2.18(d) or 9.03(c), the Term Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this clause.

(c) (i) Any Term Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Term Administrative Agent sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Term Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Term Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Term Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Term Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Term Administrative Agent and the other Term Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Term Lender in connection with such Term Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Term Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Term Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Term Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to clause (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Term Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Term Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Term Lender.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or 2.17 than the applicable Term Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Term Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 unless such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.17(e) as though it were a Term Lender.

-82-

(d) Any Term Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Term Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Term Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Term Lender as a party hereto.

(e) Borrower Buybacks. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Term Lender may assign all or a portion of its Term Loans to a Purchasing Borrower Party in accordance with Section 2.11(g) (which assignment will not constitute a prepayment of Term Loans for any purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents).

SECTION 9.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Term Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Term Administrative Agent or any Term Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Term Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Term Loans, the expiration or termination of the Term Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

SECTION 9.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Term Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Article IV, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Term Administrative Agent and when the Term Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.07. Severability. Any provision of any Loan Document held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 9.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Term Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Term Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or such Loan Guarantor against any of and all the Obligations held by such Term Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Term Lender shall have made any demand under the Loan Documents and although such obligations may

-83-

be unmatured. The applicable Term Lender shall notify the Borrower and the Term Administrative Agent of such set-off or application, provided that any failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such set-off or application under this Section. The rights of each Term Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Term Lender may have.

SECTION 9.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) The Loan Documents (other than those containing a contrary express choice of law provision) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

(b) Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any U.S. Federal or New York State court sitting in New York, New York in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Term Administrative Agent or any Term Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c) Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in clause (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

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

SECTION 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

SECTION 9.13. Several Obligations; Nonreliance; Violation of Law. The respective obligations of the Term Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and the failure of any Term Lender to make any Term Loan or perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Term Lender

-85-

L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) hereby notifies the Borrower and each Loan Guarantor that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower and each Loan Guarantor, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Term Lender to identify the Borrower and each Loan Guarantor in accordance with the Act.

SECTION 9.17. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Term Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Term Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Term Lender holding such Term Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Term Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Term Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Term Lender in respect of other Term Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Term Lender.

ARTICLE X

Loan Guaranty

SECTION 10.01. Guaranty. Each Loan Guarantor hereby agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the Term Lenders the prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Obligations and all costs and expenses including, without limitation, all court costs and attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees (including allocated costs of in-house counsel and paralegals) and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses paid or incurred by the Term Administrative Agent and the Term Lenders in endeavoring to collect all or any part of the Obligations

-86-

from, or in prosecuting any action against, the Borrower, any Loan Guarantor or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations (such costs and expenses, together with the Obligations, collectively the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Loan Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed in whole or in part without notice to or further assent from it, and that it remains bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any such extension or renewal. All terms of this Loan Guaranty apply to and may be enforced by or on behalf of any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of any Term Lender that extended any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations.

SECTION 10.02. Guaranty of Payment. This Loan Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. Each Loan Guarantor waives any right to require the Term Administrative Agent or any Term Lender to ▇▇▇ the Borrower, any Loan Guarantor, any other guarantor, or any other person obligated for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations (each, an “Obligated Party”), or otherwise to enforce its payment against any collateral securing all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations.

SECTION 10.03. No Discharge or Diminishment of Loan Guaranty. (a) Except as otherwise provided for herein, the obligations of each Loan Guarantor hereunder are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations), including: (i) any claim of waiver, release, extension, renewal, settlement, surrender, alteration, or compromise of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, by operation of law or otherwise; (ii) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Borrower or any other guarantor of or other person liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Obligated Party, or their assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Obligated Party; or (iv) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which any Loan Guarantor may have at any time against any Obligated Party, the Term Administrative Agent any Term Lender, or any other person, whether in connection herewith or in any unrelated transactions.

(b) The obligations of each Loan Guarantor hereunder are not subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise (other than a defense of payment or performance), or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit payment by any Obligated Party, of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof.

(c) Further, the obligations of any Loan Guarantor hereunder are not discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by: (i) the failure of the Term Administrative Agent or any Term Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy with respect to all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any waiver or modification of or supplement to any provision of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any release, non-perfection, or invalidity of any indirect or direct security for the obligations of the Borrower for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any obligations of any other guarantor of or other person liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) any action or failure to act by the Term Administrative Agent or any Term Lender with respect to any collateral securing any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (v) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other circumstance, act, omission or delay that might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Loan Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Loan Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations).

SECTION 10.04. Defenses Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Guarantor hereby waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Borrower or any Loan Guarantor or the unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Borrower or any Loan Guarantor, other than

-87-

the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Loan Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any person against any Obligated Party, or any other person. The Term Administrative Agent may, at its election, foreclose on any Collateral held by it by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such Collateral in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise act or fail to act with respect to any collateral securing all or a part of the Guaranteed Obligations, compromise or adjust any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, make any other accommodation with any Obligated Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to it against any Obligated Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of such Loan Guarantor under this Loan Guaranty except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly paid in cash. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though that election may operate, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Loan Guarantor against any Obligated Party or any security.

SECTION 10.05. Rights of Subrogation. No Loan Guarantor will assert any right, claim or cause of action, including, without limitation, a claim of subrogation, contribution or indemnification that it has against any Obligated Party, or any collateral, until the Loan Parties and the Loan Guarantors have fully performed all their obligations to the Term Administrative Agent and the Term Lenders.

SECTION 10.06. Reinstatement; Stay of Acceleration. If at any time any payment of any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise, each Loan Guarantor’s obligations under this Loan Guaranty with respect to that payment shall be reinstated at such time as though the payment had not been made and whether or not the Term Administrative Agent and the Term Lenders are in possession of this Loan Guaranty. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations shall nonetheless be payable by the Loan Guarantors forthwith on demand by the Term Lender.

SECTION 10.07. Information. Each Loan Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrower’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that each Loan Guarantor assumes and incurs under this Loan Guaranty, and agrees that neither the Term Administrative Agent nor any Term Lender shall have any duty to advise any Loan Guarantor of information known to it regarding those circumstances or risks.

SECTION 10.08. Termination. Notwithstanding the receipt by the Term Administrative Agent of a notice of termination from any Loan Guarantor, each Loan Guarantor will continue to be liable to the Term Lenders for any Guaranteed Obligations created, assumed or committed to prior to the third day after the receipt of the notice, and all subsequent renewals, extensions, modifications and amendments with respect to, or substitutions for, all or any part of that Guaranteed Obligations.

SECTION 10.09. Taxes. Subject to the same exceptions and limitations applicable to the Borrower under Section 2.17 of the Agreement, mutatis mutandis, all payments of the Guaranteed Obligations will be made by each Loan Guarantor free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if any Loan Guarantor shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as

-88-

necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Term Administrative Agent or Term Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Loan Guarantor shall make such deductions and (iii) such Loan Guarantor shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

SECTION 10.10. Maximum Liability. The provisions of this Loan Guaranty are severable, and in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Loan Guarantor under this Loan Guaranty would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of such Loan Guarantor’s liability under this Loan Guaranty, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Loan Guaranty to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the Loan Guarantors or the Term Lenders, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding (such highest amount determined hereunder being the relevant Loan Guarantor’s “Maximum Liability”). This Section with respect to the Maximum Liability of each Loan Guarantor is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Term Lenders to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable law, and no Loan Guarantor nor any other person or entity shall have any right or claim under this Section with respect to such Maximum Liability, except to the extent necessary so that the obligations of any Loan Guarantor hereunder shall not be rendered voidable under applicable law. Each Loan Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the Maximum Liability of each Loan Guarantor without impairing this Loan Guaranty or affecting the rights and remedies of the Term Lenders hereunder, provided that, nothing in this sentence shall be construed to increase any Loan Guarantor’s obligations hereunder beyond its Maximum Liability.

SECTION 10.11. Contribution. In the event any Loan Guarantor (a “Paying Guarantor”) shall make any payment or payments under this Loan Guaranty or shall suffer any loss as a result of any realization upon any collateral granted by it to secure its obligations under this Loan Guaranty, each other Loan Guarantor (each a “Non-Paying Guarantor”) shall contribute to such Paying Guarantor an amount equal to such Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Applicable Percentage” of such payment or payments made, or losses suffered, by such Paying Guarantor. For purposes of this Article X, each Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Applicable Percentage” with respect to any such payment or loss by a Paying Guarantor shall be determined as of the date on which such payment or loss was made by reference to the ratio of (i) such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder) or, if such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability has not been determined, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Non-Paying Guarantor from the Borrower after the Closing Date (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means) to (ii) the aggregate Maximum Liability of all Loan Guarantors hereunder (including such Paying Guarantor) as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder), or to the extent that a Maximum Liability has not been determined for any Loan Guarantor, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Loan Guarantors from the Borrower after the Closing Date (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means).

SECTION 10.13. Common Enterprise The successful operation and condition of each of the Loan Parties is dependent on the continued successful performance of the functions of the group of the Loan Parties as a whole and the successful operation of each of the Loan Parties is dependent on the successful performance and operation of each other Loan Party. Each Loan Party expects to derive benefit, directly and indirectly, from (i) successful operations of each of the other Loan Parties and (ii) the credit extended by the Term Lenders to the Borrower hereunder, both in their separate capacities and as members of the group of companies.

SCHEDULE 3.06 TO AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

Schedule 3.06 – Disclosed Matters

Legal Matters

Save Mart v. Orchard Supply Hardware LLC —On April 1, 2011, a judgment was entered against Orchard in the case of Save Mart Supermarkets v. Orchard Supply Hardware LLC, in California Superior Court in Fresno, California. Save Mart obtained a $5.1 million verdict on claims of breach of contract and breach of the implied covenant of good faith relating to the termination by Orchard Supply Hardware LLC of a contract for the lease of a store to be built by Save Mart. On August 24, 2011, Orchard entered into a settlement agreement with Save Mart to satisfy the $5.1 million judgment, release Orchard of all liabilities and waive all rights of appeals by both parties. The settlement includes three parts: (1) a $0.5 million cash consideration paid to Save Mart; (2) the amendment and extension of an existing lease between Save Mart and Orchard for a store unrelated to the one originally in dispute and (3) the lease of a new property to Orchard.

Product Liability Litigation – In the ordinary course of business, Orchard is subject to product liability litigation as a result of the sale of certain products, including products that have included asbestos. Orchard is currently a party in two such cases, both pertaining to asbestos. These asbestos cases are early in the proceedings and it is not currently possible to evaluate the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome and not, therefore, possible to estimate with any degree of certainty any range of possible loss. However, in similar litigations Orchard has been routinely dismissed and in those cases that Orchard has settled, the settlement has not been material.

Wage and Hour Violation Class Action Claims – Orchard is from time to time subject to class action claims of wage and hour violations. These claims generally seek monetary damages including back pay and statutory penalties, injunctive relief, or both. If a class were certified in one of these cases, an unfavorable judgment or settlement might be material. Based on the information currently available, management does not believe that any such legal proceedings that may be currently pending would have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company.

Employment Discrimination Claims – Orchard is from time to time subject to claims of employment discrimination, unlawful employment practices and other Americans with Disabilities Act claims. These claims have not involved members of senior management and do not ordinarily involve damage claims that are material to our business.

Real Estate Matters – Orchard has been involved in various real estate related legal proceedings. These include ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ v. Orchard Supply Hardware et al., a lawsuit involving a claim that certain architectural barriers at one of the Orchard facilities impaired the plaintiff’s access to the premises, in connection with which Orchard paid a settlement of $36,000. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ v. Orchard Supply Hardware Corporation, another real estate related legal proceeding involving a claim of impairment to access premises, has not yet reached a formal settlement, although the fundamental terms to a settlement of $19,000 were reached in September 2010.

In addition, OSH is subject to various legal proceedings, involving insured and other routine litigation incidental to the business.

Environmental Matters

South Coast Air Quality Management District – The South Coast Air Quality Management District issued a notice of violation on April 30, 2010, alleging over 4,000 violations at $1,000 each. In December 2010, Orchard submitted a detailed explanation of why the violations were far less and why a more equitable settlement should be in the range of $50,000. To date, Orchard has not received a counter offer.

Yolo-▇▇▇▇▇▇ Air Quality Management District – Based on a store inspection in June 2010, the Yolo Air District alleged violations of rule limiting nitrogen oxide emissions from water heaters sold at the Woodland, California store. While the original penalty was estimated in the $150,000 range, counsel to Orchard is currently working on a settlement in the $20,000—$32,000 range that could include an agreement to distribute a pamphlet to customers of the store.

Orchard has responded to several other notices of alleged air district violations, but has not received further communication from the relevant air districts.

The consequences of these matters are not presently determinable but, in the opinion of management after consulting with legal counsel, the ultimate liability in excess of reserves currently recorded is not expected to have a material effect on OSH’s financial position or results of operations.
