SECTION 2

AMOUNT AND TERMS OF EXIM COMMITMENTS

2.1 EXIM Commitments.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each EXIM Lender severally agrees to make advances (each, an “EXIM Loan” and, collectively, the “EXIM Loans”) to the Borrower from time to time during the EXIM Commitment Period in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding which does not exceed the amount of such EXIM Lender’s EXIM Commitment.

(b) In addition, such aggregate obligations shall not at any time exceed the lesser of (i) the Total EXIM Commitments at such time and (ii) the Borrowing Base at such time. Notwithstanding and in addition to the foregoing, subject to clause (d) of this Section 2.1, at all times other than during a Streamline Period, the amounts available to be borrowed under the Revolving Facility shall be determined by reference to the Borrowing Base as reflected in the most recent Transaction Report delivered to the Administrative Agent, less the amount of any EXIM Loans made in reliance upon such Transaction Report. During the EXIM Commitment Period the Borrower may use the EXIM Commitments by borrowing, prepaying the EXIM Loans in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. The EXIM Loans shall be ABR Loans.

(d) Notwithstanding any term of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the aggregate amount of all EXIM Extensions of Credit outstanding at any time, together with all Domestic Extensions of Credit outstanding at any time, exceed the Total Revolving Commitments.

2.2 Procedure for EXIM Loan Borrowing. The Borrower may borrow under the EXIM Commitments during the EXIM Commitment Period on any Business Day; provided that the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent an irrevocable Notice of Borrowing (which must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 10:00 A.M., Pacific time, three (3) Business Days prior to the date of the proposed borrowing), in each such case specifying (i) the amount of EXIM Loans to be borrowed, (ii) the requested Borrowing Date, and (iii) instructions for remittance of the proceeds of the applicable EXIM Loans to be borrowed. Each borrowing of EXIM Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the remaining Available EXIM Commitment). Upon receipt of any such Notice of Borrowing from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each EXIM Lender thereof. Each EXIM Lender will make the amount of its pro rata share of each such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower at the Funding Office prior to 12:00 P.M., Pacific time, on the Borrowing Date requested by the Borrower in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent. Such borrowing will then be made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent crediting such account as is designated in writing to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the EXIM Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent or, if so specified in the Payoff Letter, the Administrative Agent shall wire transfer all or a portion of such aggregate amounts to the Existing Lender (for application against amounts then outstanding under the Existing Credit Facility), in accordance with the wire instructions specified for such purpose.

2.3 Overadvances. If at any time or for any reason the aggregate amount of all EXIM Extensions of Credit of all of the EXIM Lenders exceeds the lesser of (x) the amount of the Total EXIM Commitments then in effect, and (y) the amount of the Borrowing Base then in effect (any such excess, an “Overadvance”), the Borrower shall immediately pay the full amount of such Overadvance to the Administrative Agent, without notice or demand, for application against the EXIM Extensions of Credit in accordance with the terms hereof. Without limiting Borrower’s obligation to repay any amount of the Overadvance, Borrower agrees to pay interest on the outstanding amount of any Overadvance, on demand, at the Default Rate.

2.4 Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent and the EXIM Lenders the fees in the amounts and on the dates as set forth in the Fee Letter and in the Domestic Credit Agreement and to perform any other obligations contained therein. All fees payable under this Section 2.4 shall be fully earned on the date paid and nonrefundable.

2.5 Termination or Reduction of EXIM Commitments.

(a) Termination or Reduction. Subject to payment of the sums set forth in Section 2.10(b) of the Domestic Credit Agreement, the Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the EXIM Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the EXIM Commitments; provided that no such termination

or reduction of the EXIM Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto, the Total EXIM Extensions of Credit would exceed the Available EXIM Commitments. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000 (or, if the then Total EXIM Commitments are less than such amount, such lesser amount), or a whole multiple thereof, and shall reduce permanently the EXIM Commitments then in effect.

(b) [Reserved].

2.6 [Reserved.]

2.7 [Reserved.]

2.8 Interest Rates and Payment Dates.

(a) Each EXIM Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) the ABR plus (ii) 1.00%.

(b) During the continuance of an Event of Default, all outstanding EXIM Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus 3.00% (the “Default Rate”).

(c) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date; provided that interest accruing pursuant to Section 2.8(b) shall be payable from time to time on demand.

2.9 Computation of Interest and Fees.

(a) Interest and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed. Any change in the interest rate on an EXIM Loan resulting from a change in the ABR shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant EXIM Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the EXIM Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.8(a).

2.10 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.

(a) Each borrowing by the Borrower from the EXIM Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee and any reduction of the EXIM Commitments shall be made pro rata according to the respective EXIM Percentages of the relevant EXIM Lenders.

(b) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the EXIM Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the EXIM Loans then held by the EXIM Lenders.

(c) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff and shall be made prior to 10:00 A.M., Pacific time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the EXIM Lenders, at the Funding Office, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the EXIM Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. Any payment received by the Administrative Agent after 10:00 A.M. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding sentence, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any EXIM Lender prior to the date of any borrowing that such EXIM Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such EXIM Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date in accordance with Section 2, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such EXIM Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date on which such amount is made available to the Borrower but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such EXIM Lender, a rate equal to the greater of (A) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (B) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the rate per annum applicable to EXIM Loans under the Facility. If the Borrower and such EXIM Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such EXIM Lender pays its share of the applicable borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such EXIM Lender’s EXIM Loan included in such borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against an EXIM Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the EXIM Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is making such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the EXIM Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the EXIM Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such EXIM 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 Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of Administrative Agent or any EXIM Lender against the Borrower.

(f) If any EXIM Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any EXIM Loan to be made by such EXIM Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Section 2, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable extension of credit set forth in Section 5.1 or Section 5.2 are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such EXIM Lender) to such EXIM Lender, without interest.

(g) The obligations of the EXIM Lenders hereunder to (i) make EXIM Loans, and (ii) to make payments pursuant to Section 9.7, as applicable, are several and not joint. The failure of any EXIM Lender to make any such EXIM Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any such payment under Section 9.7 on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other EXIM Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no EXIM Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other EXIM Lender to so make its EXIM Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 9.7.

(h) Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any EXIM Lender to obtain the funds for any EXIM Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any EXIM Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any EXIM Loan in any particular place or manner.

(i) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, toward payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, toward payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.

(j) If any EXIM Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of the principal of or interest on any EXIM Loan made by it, or other obligations hereunder, as applicable (other than pursuant to a provision hereof providing for non-pro rata treatment), in excess of its EXIM Percentage of such payment on account of the EXIM Loans or participations obtained by all of the EXIM Lenders, such EXIM Lender shall forthwith advise the Administrative Agent of the receipt of such payment, and within five (5) Business Days of such receipt purchase (for cash at face value) from the other EXIM Lenders (through the Administrative Agent), without recourse, such participations in the EXIM Loans made by them, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing EXIM Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of the other EXIM Lenders in accordance with their EXIM Percentages; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered by or on behalf of the Borrower from such purchasing EXIM Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The Borrower agrees that any EXIM Lender so purchasing a participation from another EXIM Lender pursuant to this Section 2.10(j) may exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such EXIM Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. No documentation other than notices and the like referred to in this Section 2.10(j) shall be required to implement the terms of this Section 2.10(j). The Administrative Agent shall keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased pursuant to this Section 2.10(j) and shall in each case notify the EXIM Lenders following any such purchase. The provisions of this Section 2.10(j) shall not be construed to apply to (i) any payment made by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express

terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), or (ii) any payment obtained by an EXIM Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its EXIM Loans to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply). The Borrower consents on behalf of itself and each other Loan Party to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any EXIM Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such EXIM Lender were a direct creditor of each Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

(k) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion at any time or from time to time, without the Borrower’s request and even if the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 would not be satisfied, make an EXIM Loan in an amount equal to the portion of the Obligations constituting overdue interest and fees from time to time due and payable to itself or any EXIM Lender, and apply the proceeds of any such EXIM Loan to those Obligations; provided that after giving effect to any such EXIM Loan, the aggregate outstanding EXIM Loans will not exceed the Total EXIM Commitments then in effect.

2.11 Requirements of Law.

(a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or the compliance by any EXIM Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

(i) shall subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d)of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its EXIM Loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

(ii) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of or credit extended or participated in by, any EXIM Lender; or

(iii) impose on any EXIM Lender any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or EXIM Loans made by such EXIM Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such EXIM Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining EXIM Loans or of maintaining its obligation to make such EXIM Loans, or to reduce any amount receivable or received by such EXIM Lender or other Recipient hereunder in respect thereof (whether in respect of principal, interest or any other amount), then, in any such case, upon the request of such EXIM Lender or other Recipient, the Borrower shall promptly pay such EXIM Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such EXIM Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any EXIM Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.

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

(c) For purposes of this Agreement, (i) the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, or directives in connection therewith are deemed to have gone into effect and been adopted after the date of this Agreement, and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in any Requirement of Law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

(d) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to paragraphs (b), (c), or (d) of this Section submitted by any EXIM Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such EXIM Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. Failure or delay on the part of any EXIM Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such EXIM Lender’s right to demand such compensation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.11, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate an EXIM Lender pursuant to this Section 2.11 for any amounts incurred more than nine months prior to the date that such EXIM Lender notifies the Borrower of such EXIM Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such nine-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect. The obligations of the Borrower arising pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall survive the termination of the EXIM Commitments, the termination of this Agreement, the repayment of all Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.

2.12 Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law and the Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Loan Party, to comply with the requirements set forth in this Section 2.12. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.12) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

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

(c) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.12, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(d) Indemnification by Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.12) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (including any recording and filing fees with respect thereto or resulting therefrom and any liabilities with respect to, or resulting from, any delay in paying such Indemnified Taxes), whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by an EXIM Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of an EXIM Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. If any Loan Party fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, such Loan Party shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the EXIM Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any EXIM Lender as a result of any such failure.

(e) Indemnification by EXIM Lenders. Each EXIM Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such EXIM Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such EXIM Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.6 of the Domestic Credit Agreement relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such EXIM Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any EXIM Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each EXIM Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such EXIM Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the EXIM Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).

(f) Status of EXIM Lenders.

(i) Any EXIM Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any EXIM Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such EXIM Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 2.12(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if the EXIM Lender is not legally entitled to complete, execute or deliver such documentation or, in the EXIM Lender’s reasonable judgment, such completion, execution or submission would subject such EXIM Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such EXIM Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person,

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

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

(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or

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

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

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

(iii) Each EXIM Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. Each Foreign Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Foreign Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Foreign Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(iv) Each EXIM Lender acknowledges and agrees that certain payments made under this Agreement after December 31, 2013, as to extensions of credit made after December 31, 2012, to any EXIM Lender that does not comply with the information collection and reporting obligations imposed by the United States with respect to foreign accounts, or that fails to provide adequate certification regarding such compliance, may become subject to withholding taxes imposed

under FATCA. Each EXIM Lender agrees to undertake commercially reasonable actions to cooperate with the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in establishing that it is in compliance with such requirements and agrees to provide all certifications required by the IRS or determined by the Administrative Agent, in its reasonable discretion, to be necessary for the Administrative Agent to establish its compliance under such provisions on or before June 30, 2013. Nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted to require any EXIM Lender to violate any law or regulation applicable to such EXIM Lender in any jurisdiction in which such EXIM Lender is formed, managed and controlled or doing business.

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.12 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.12), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.12 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.12 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, an EXIM Lender, the termination of the EXIM Commitments, the termination of this Agreement and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

2.13 Change of Lending Office. Each EXIM Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.11(b), Section 2.11(c) or Section 2.12(a) with respect to such EXIM Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such EXIM Lender) to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its EXIM Loans affected by such event or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, in each case, with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such EXIM Lender, cause such EXIM Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal, regulatory or other disadvantage; provided further that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any EXIM Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(b), Section 2.11(c) or Section 2.12(a). The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any EXIM Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

2.14 Substitution of EXIM Lenders. Upon the receipt by the Borrower of any of the following (or in the case of clause (a) below, if the Borrower is required to pay any such amount), with respect to any EXIM Lender (any such EXIM Lender described in clauses (a) through (c) below being referred to as an “Affected Lender” hereunder):

(a) a request from an EXIM Lender for payment of Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts under Section 2.12 or of increased costs pursuant to Section 2.11(b) or Section 2.11(c) (and, in any such case, such EXIM Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 2.13 or is a Non-Consenting Lender);

(b) a notice from the Administrative Agent under Section 10.1(b) that one or more Minority Lenders are unwilling to agree to an amendment or other modification approved by the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent; or

then the Borrower may, within fifteen (15) days after the occurrence of such event or receipt by the Borrower of such notice and demand, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the Administrative Agent and such Affected Lender: (i) request that one or more of the other EXIM Lenders acquire and assume all or part of such Affected Lender’s EXIM Loans and EXIM Commitment; or (ii) designate a replacement lending institution (which shall be an Eligible Assignee) to acquire and assume all or a ratable part of such Affected Lender’s EXIM Loans and EXIM Commitment (the replacing EXIM Lender or lender in (i) or (ii) being a “Replacement Lender”); and provided, however, that if the Borrower elects to exercise such right with respect to any Affected Lender under clause (a) or (b) of this Section 2.14, then the Borrower shall be obligated to replace all Affected Lenders under such clauses. The Affected Lender replaced pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be required to assign and delegate, without recourse, all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to one or more Replacement Lenders that so agree to acquire and assume all or a ratable part of such Affected Lender’s EXIM Loans and EXIM Commitment upon payment to such Affected Lender of an amount (in the aggregate for all Replacement Lenders) equal to 100% of the outstanding principal of the Affected Lender’s EXIM Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents from such Replacement Lenders (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts). Any such designation of a Replacement Lender shall be effected in accordance with, and subject to the terms and conditions of, the assignment provisions contained in Section 10.6 (with the assignment fee to be paid by the Borrower in such instance), and, if such Replacement Lender is not already an EXIM Lender hereunder or an Affiliate of an EXIM Lender or an Approved Fund, shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any assignment pursuant to this Section 2.14, (a) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.11 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.12, such assignment shall result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; (b) such assignment shall not conflict with applicable law and (c) in the case of any assignment resulting from an EXIM Lender being a Minority Lender referred to in clause (b) of this Section 2.14, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Affected Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Affected Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

2.15 Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any EXIM Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such EXIM Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 10.1 of the Domestic Credit Agreement and in the definition of Required Lenders.

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 8 or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.7), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any EXIM Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to EXIM Loans under this Agreement; fourth, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and fifth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (A) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any EXIM Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (B) such EXIM Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the EXIM Loans of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any EXIM Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all EXIM Loans are held by the EXIM Lenders pro rata in accordance with the EXIM Commitments under the Facility. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.15(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each EXIM Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee pursuant to Section 2.4 for any period during which such EXIM Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender).

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, such EXIM Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding EXIM Loans of the other EXIM Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the EXIM Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the EXIM Lenders in accordance with their respective EXIM

Percentages, whereupon such EXIM Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such EXIM Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to EXIM Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such EXIM Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.

(c) Termination of Defaulting Lender. The Borrower may terminate the unused amount of the EXIM Commitment of any EXIM Lender that is a Defaulting Lender upon not less than ten(10) Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the EXIM Lenders thereof), and in such event the provisions of Section 2.15(a)(ii) will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts); provided that (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (ii) such termination shall not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other EXIM Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.

2.16 EXIM Notes. If so requested by any EXIM Lender by written notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such EXIM Lender (and/or, if applicable and if so specified in such notice, to any Person who is an assignee of such EXIM Lender pursuant to Section 10.6) (promptly after the Borrower’s receipt of such notice) an EXIM Note or EXIM Notes to evidence such EXIM Lender’s EXIM Loans.

2.17 EXIM Guaranty. To facilitate the financing of Eligible Foreign Accounts, EXIM Bank has agreed to guarantee the EXIM Loans made under this Agreement, pursuant to a Master Guarantee Agreement, Loan Authorization Agreement and (to the extent applicable) Delegated Authority Letter Agreement (collectively, the “EXIM Guaranty”). If, at any time after the EXIM Guaranty has been entered into, (a) the EXIM Guaranty shall cease to be in full force and effect, or (b) if EXIM Bank declares the EXIM Guaranty void or revokes any obligations thereunder or denies liability thereunder, and any overadvance results from either of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall provide notice of such overadvance to the Borrower, and the Borrower shall immediately repay all outstanding EXIM Extensions of Credit hereunder. If, at any time after the EXIM Guaranty has been entered into, (i) the EXIM Guaranty shall cease to be in full force and effect, or (ii) EXIM Bank declares the EXIM Guaranty void or revokes any obligations thereunder or denies liability thereunder, any such event shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement. Nothing in any confidentiality agreement, in this Agreement or in any other agreement, shall restrict the Administrative Agent’s right to make disclosures and provide information to EXIM Bank in connection with the EXIM Guaranty.

2.18 EXIM Borrower Agreement. Borrower shall execute and deliver a Borrower Agreement, in the form specified by EXIM Bank (attached hereto as Exhibit E), in favor of each of the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) and EXIM Bank, together with an amendment thereto approved by EXIM Bank to conform certain terms of such Borrower Agreement to the terms of this Agreement (as amended, the “Borrower Agreement’). When the Borrower Agreement is entered into by the Borrower and EXIM Bank and delivered to the Administrative Agent, this Agreement shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Borrower Agreement, all of which are hereby incorporated herein by this reference. From and after the time the Borrower and EXIM Bank have entered into the Borrower Agreement and delivered the same to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower expressly agrees to perform all of the obligations and comply with all of the affirmative and

negative covenants and all other terms and conditions set forth in the Borrower Agreement as though the same were expressly set forth herein. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Borrower Agreement (if then in effect) and the other terms of this Agreement, whichever terms are more restrictive shall apply. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it has received a copy of the Loan Authorization Agreement which is referred to in the Borrower Agreement. If the Borrower Agreement is entered into by the Borrower and EXIM Bank and delivered to the Administrative Agent, Borrower agrees to be bound by the terms of the Loan Authorization Agreement, including, without limitation, by any additions or revisions made prior to its execution on behalf of EXIM Bank. Upon the execution of the Loan Authorization Agreement by EXIM Bank and the Administrative Agent, it shall be deemed to be, and shall become, an attachment to the Borrower Agreement, and shall be incorporated herein by reference. The Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for all fees and all out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent with respect to the EXIM Guaranty and the Borrower Agreement, including without limitation all facility fees and usage fees, and the Administrative Agent is authorized to debit any of the Borrower’s deposit accounts with the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party for such fees, costs and expenses when paid by the Administrative Agent.

4.2 Borrower Agreement. The representations and warranties contained in the Borrower Agreement, which are incorporated by reference into this Agreement, are true and correct.

4.3 Accounts Receivable; Inventory.

(b) All statements made and all unpaid balances appearing in all invoices, instruments and other documents evidencing the Accounts and Foreign Inventory are and shall be true and correct and all such invoices, instruments and other documents, and all of the Borrower’s books and records are genuine and in all respects what they purport to be.

4.4 Use of Proceeds. The Borrower is using proceeds of the EXIM Extensions of Credit only for the purposes specified in the Borrower Agreement.

In the case of the Pledged Stock described in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement that are securities represented by stock certificates or otherwise constituting certificated securities within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(15) of the UCC or the corresponding code or statute of any other applicable jurisdiction (“Certificated Securities”), when certificates representing such Pledged Stock are delivered to the Administrative Agent, and in the case of the other Collateral constituting personal property described in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, when financing statements and other filings specified on Schedule 4.5(a) in appropriate form are filed in the offices specified on Schedule 4.5(a), the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall have a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in such Collateral and the proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations, in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person (subject only to (i) Liens expressly permitted pursuant to Section 7.3 of the Domestic Credit Agreement having priority by operation of law over the Liens of the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, and (ii) other than with respect to Export-Related Accounts Receivable, Export-Related Inventory, Export-Related General Intangibles and the Proceeds of the foregoing, Liens in favor of the Administrative Agent under the Domestic Loan Documents). As of the Closing Date, none of the Borrower or any Guarantor that is a limited liability company or partnership has any Capital Stock that is a not Certificated Security.

(b) Each of the Mortgages delivered after the Closing Date will be, upon execution, effective to create in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable Lien on the Mortgaged Properties described therein and proceeds thereof, and when the Mortgages are filed in the offices for the applicable jurisdictions in which the Mortgaged Properties are located, each such Mortgage shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in the Mortgaged Properties and the proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations (as defined in the relevant Mortgage), in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person.

SECTION 9

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

9.1 Appointment and Authority.

(a) Each of the EXIM Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints SVB to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the EXIM Lenders acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent is authorized to enter into the Borrower Agreement on behalf of the EXIM Lenders and that any obligations of the Administrative Agent thereunder are the joint and several obligations of the EXIM Lenders.

(b) The provisions of Section 9 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the EXIM Lenders, and neither the Borrower (except as to the limited consent rights in Section 9.9(a)) nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities to any EXIM Lender or any other Person, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any EXIM Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall also act as the collateral agent under the Loan Documents, and each of the EXIM Lenders (in their respective capacities as an EXIM Lender) hereby irrevocably (i) authorizes the Administrative Agent to enter into all other Loan Documents, as applicable, including the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and any Subordination Agreements, and (ii) appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of the Secured Parties for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent, as collateral agent and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.2 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Security Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Section 9 and Section 10 (including Section 9.7, as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the collateral agent under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent is further authorized on behalf of all the EXIM Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from the EXIM Lenders, from time to time to take any action, or permit the any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent to take any action, with respect to any Collateral or the Loan Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the Liens upon any Collateral granted pursuant to any Loan Document.

9.2 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Section shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Facility provided for herein as well as activities as the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub agents.

9.3 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall have no duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder and thereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not:

(a) be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether any Default or any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b) have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the EXIM Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), as applicable; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and

(c) except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and the Administrative Agent shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by any Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the EXIM Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 8.2 and 10.1), or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment.

The 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 this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 5.1, Section 5.2 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

9.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The 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 (including any electronic message, internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of an EXIM Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of an EXIM Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such EXIM

Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such EXIM Lender prior to the making of such EXIM Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for any of the Loan Parties), 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. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any EXIM Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of EXIM Lenders as shall be provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the EXIM Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of EXIM Lenders as shall be provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon the EXIM Lenders and all future holders of the EXIM Loans.

9.5 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice in writing from an EXIM Lender, Holdings or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the EXIM Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all EXIM Lenders); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action or refrain from taking such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the EXIM Lenders.

9.6 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other EXIM Lenders. Each EXIM Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys in fact or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Group Member or any affiliate of a Group Member, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any EXIM Lender. Each EXIM Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other EXIM Lender or any of their Related Parties, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Group Members and their affiliates and made its own credit analysis and decision to make its EXIM Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each EXIM Lender also agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other EXIM Lender or any of their Related Parties, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Group Members and their affiliates.

Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the EXIM Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any EXIM Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Group Member or any affiliate of a Group Member that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys in fact or affiliates.

9.7 Indemnification. Each of the EXIM Lenders agrees to indemnify each of the Administrative Agent and each of its Related Parties in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by Holdings, the Borrower or any other Loan Party and without limiting the obligation of Holdings, the Borrower or any other Loan Party to do so) according to its Aggregate Exposure Percentage in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section 9.7 (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the EXIM Commitments shall have terminated and the EXIM Loans shall have been paid in full, in accordance with its Aggregate Exposure Percentage immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the EXIM Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or such other Person in any way relating to or arising out of, the EXIM Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or such other Person under or in connection with any of the foregoing and any other amounts not reimbursed by Holdings, the Borrower or such other Loan Party; provided that no EXIM Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from the Administrative Agent’s or such other Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the EXIM Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

9.8 Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as an EXIM Lender as any other EXIM Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “EXIM Lender” or “EXIM Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the EXIM Lenders.

9.9 Successor Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the EXIM Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with, to the extent no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the State of New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the State of New York. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective

Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the EXIM Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(b) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed and such collateral security is assigned to such successor Administrative Agent) and (ii) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each EXIM Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent), and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of Section 9 and Section 10.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring 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 the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as the Administrative Agent.

9.10 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The EXIM Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion,

(a) to release or direct the release of any Lien on any Collateral or other property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or the Security Trustee under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the EXIM Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnification obligations), (ii) that is sold or otherwise disposed of or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii) subject to Section 10.1, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders;

(b) to release or subordinate any Lien on any Collateral or other property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is expressly permitted by Section 7.3(c) of the Domestic Credit Agreement; and

(c) to release any Subsidiary which is a Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents.

(d) Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.10.

(e) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the EXIM Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

9.11 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any EXIM Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated), by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the EXIM Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable to have the claims of the EXIM Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the EXIM Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the EXIM Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.4 and 10.5) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each EXIM Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the EXIM Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.4 and 10.5.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any EXIM Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any EXIM Lender to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any EXIM Lender in any such proceeding.

10.2 Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the respective parties hereto to be effective shall be given in accordance with the terms of Section 10.2 of the Domestic Credit Agreement.

10.3 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any EXIM Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

10.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder, in the other Loan Documents and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the EXIM Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder.

10.5 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a) Costs and Expenses. The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent), in connection with the syndication of the Facility, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the EXIM Guaranty, the Borrower Agreement or any related document, instrument or agreement, or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated) (it being understood that the foregoing shall be deemed to include all fees that the Administrative Agent pays to EXIM Bank in consideration of the issuance of the EXIM Guaranty or otherwise pursuant to the Borrower Agreement or the EXIM Guaranty), and (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any EXIM Lender (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent or any EXIM Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of

(b) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each EXIM 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, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any Person (including the Borrower or any other Loan Party) other than such Indemnitee and its Related Parties arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any EXIM Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Materials of Environmental Concern on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability 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, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, 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, liabilities or related expenses (x) 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 or (y) result from a claim brought by the Borrower or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower or such Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. This Section 10.5(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

(c) Reimbursement by EXIM Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower or any other Loan Party pursuant to any other Loan Document for any reason fails indefeasibly to pay any amount required under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party thereof, each EXIM Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such EXIM Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based on each EXIM Lender’s share of the Total Credit Exposure at such time) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such EXIM Lender); provided, that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or against any Related Party thereof acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the EXIM Lenders under this paragraph (c) are subject to the provisions of Sections 2.1 and 2.12(e).

(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and 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, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any EXIM Loan, or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in paragraph (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

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

(f) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section shall survive the termination of the Loan Documents and payment of the obligations hereunder.

10.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that party hereto may assign or otherwise transfer (including pursuant to any participation agreement) any of its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with Section 10.6 of the Domestic Credit Agreement.

(b) Certain Pledges. Any EXIM 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 EXIM Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such EXIM Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such EXIM Lender as a party hereto.

(c) The Borrower, upon receipt by the Borrower of written notice from the relevant EXIM Lender, agrees to issue EXIM Notes to any EXIM Lender requiring EXIM Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in Section 10.6.

(d) Each EXIM Lender, upon execution and delivery hereof or upon succeeding to an interest in the EXIM Commitments or EXIM Loans, as the case may be, represents and warrants as of the Closing Date or as of the effective date of the applicable Assignment and Assumption that (i) it is an Eligible Assignee; (ii) it has experience and expertise in the making of or investing in commitments, loans or investments such as the EXIM Commitments and EXIM Loans; and (iii) it will make or invest in its EXIM Commitments and EXIM Loans for its own account in the ordinary course of its business and without a view to distribution of such EXIM Commitments and EXIM Loans within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, or other federal securities laws (it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Section 10.6, the disposition of such EXIM Commitments and EXIM Loans or any interests therein shall at all times remain within its exclusive control).

10.7 Adjustments; Set-off.

(a) Except to the extent that this Agreement expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular EXIM Lender or to the EXIM Lenders under the Facility, if any EXIM Lender (a “Benefitted Lender”) shall, at any time after the EXIM Loans and other amounts payable hereunder shall immediately become due and payable pursuant to Section 8.2, receive any payment of all or part of the

Obligations owing to it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 8.1(e), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other EXIM Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other EXIM Lender, such Benefitted Lender shall purchase for cash from the other EXIM Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the Obligations owing to each such other EXIM Lender, or shall provide such other EXIM Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the EXIM Lenders; provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(b) Upon (i) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and (ii) obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, each EXIM Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to Holdings, the Borrower or any other Loan Party, any such notice being expressly waived by Holdings, the Borrower and each Loan Party, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, at any time held or owing, and any other credits, indebtedness, claims or obligations, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such EXIM Lender, its Affiliates or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of Holdings, the Borrower or any other Loan Party, as the case may be, against any and all of the obligations of Holdings, the Borrower or such other Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such EXIM Lender or its Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such EXIM Lender or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of Holdings, the Borrower or such other Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such EXIM Lender different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender or any of its Affiliates shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.14 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender or Affiliate thereof from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the EXIM Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender or Affiliate thereof as to which it exercised such right of setoff. Each EXIM Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application made by such EXIM Lender or any of its Affiliates; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each EXIM Lender and its Affiliates under this Section 10.7 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which such EXIM Lender or its Affiliates may have.

10.8 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent or any EXIM Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any EXIM Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such EXIM Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally

intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each EXIM Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the EXIM Lenders under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

10.9 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any EXIM Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the EXIM Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or an EXIM Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

10.10 Counterparts; Electronic Execution of Assignments.

(a) This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic mail transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof (save in the case of K2M UK Limited where delivery of an executed copy of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic mail transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed version of this Agreement). A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(b) The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

10.11 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.11, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited under or in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

10.12 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of Holdings, the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the EXIM Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent or any EXIM Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

10.13 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

10.14 Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each of the Loan Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in the Southern District of the State of New York; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to operate to preclude the Administrative Agent or any EXIM Lender from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction to realize on the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of Administrative Agent or such EXIM Lender. Each of the Loan Parties expressly submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court, and each of the Loan Parties hereby waives any objection that it may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or forum non conveniens and hereby consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such court. Each of the Loan Parties hereby waives personal service of the summons, complaints, and other process issued in such action or suit and agrees that service of such summons, complaints, and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to such Loan Party at the addresses set forth in Section 10.2 of this Agreement and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier to occur of such Loan Party’s actual receipt thereof or three (3) days after deposit in the U.S. mails, proper postage prepaid;

(b) WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ITS RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL; and

(c) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

10.15 Acknowledgements. Each of the Loan Parties, on behalf of itself and its respective Subsidiaries, hereby acknowledges that:

(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

(b) none of the Administrative Agent nor any EXIM Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Loan Party arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Administrative Agent and EXIM Lenders, on one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

(c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the EXIM Lenders or among the Loan Parties and the EXIM Lenders.

10.16 Releases of Guarantees and Liens.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each EXIM Lender (without requirement of notice to or consent of any EXIM Lender except as expressly required by Section 10.1) to take any action requested by the Borrower (or to direct the Security Trustee that such action be taken) having the effect of releasing any Collateral or guarantee obligations (1) to the extent necessary to permit consummation of any transaction not prohibited by any Loan Document or that has been consented to in accordance with Section 10.1 or (2) under the circumstances described in Section 10.16(b) below.

(b) At such time as the EXIM Loans and the other Obligations under the Loan Documents (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) shall have been paid in full and the EXIM Commitments have been terminated, the Collateral shall be released from the Liens created by the Security Documents, and the Security Documents and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent (or the Security Trustee as the case may be) and each Loan Party under the Security Documents shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any Person.

10.17 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and each EXIM Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners); (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, upon the request or demand of any Governmental Authority, in response to any order of any court or other Governmental Authority or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any Requirement of Law or if requested or required to do so in connection with any litigation or similar proceeding; (d) to any other party hereto; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder; (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the Facility or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Facility; (h) with the consent of the Borrower; or (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section, or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any EXIM Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any party to this Agreement (and any employee, representative, or other agent of any party to this Agreement) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to it relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. However, any such information relating to the tax treatment or tax structure is required to be kept confidential to the extent necessary to comply with any applicable federal or state securities laws.

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any EXIM Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

10.18 Automatic Debits. With respect to any principal, interest, fee, or any other cost or expense (including attorney costs of the Administrative Agent or any EXIM Lender payable by the Borrower hereunder) due and payable to the Administrative Agent or any EXIM Lender under the Loan Documents, the Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to debit any deposit account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent in an amount such that the aggregate amount debited from all such deposit accounts does not exceed such principal, interest, fee or other cost or expense. If there are insufficient funds in such deposit accounts to cover the amount then due, such debits will be reversed (in whole or in part, in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion) and such amount not debited shall be deemed to be unpaid. No such debit under this Section 10.18 shall be deemed a set-off.

10.19 Patriot Act. Each EXIM Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any other party) hereby notifies each Loan Party that, pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies such Loan Party, which information includes the names and addresses and other information that will allow such EXIM Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the Patriot Act. Each of the Loan Parties will, and will cause each of its respective Subsidiaries to, provide, to the extent commercially reasonable or required by any Requirement of Law, such information and take such actions as are reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any EXIM Lender to assist the Administrative Agent and the EXIM Lenders in maintaining compliance with the Patriot Act.

10.20 Borrower Agreement; Cross-Collateralization; Cross-Default; Conflicts. Both this Agreement and the Borrower Agreement shall continue in full force and effect, and all rights and remedies under this Agreement and the Borrower Agreement are cumulative. The term “Obligations” as used in this Agreement and in the Borrower Agreement shall include without limitation the obligation

to pay when due all loans made pursuant to the Borrower Agreement (the “EXIM Bank Loans”) and all interest thereon and the obligation to pay when due all EXIM Extensions of Credit made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and all interest thereon. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the security interest granted herein covering all “Collateral” as defined in this Agreement and as defined in the Borrower Agreement shall secure all EXIM Bank Loans and all EXIM Extensions of Credit and all interest thereon, and all other Obligations. Any Event of Default under this Agreement shall also constitute an Event of Default under the Borrower Agreement and the Domestic Credit Agreement; any Event of Default under the Domestic Credit Agreement shall also constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement and the Borrower Agreement; and any Event of Default under the Borrower Agreement shall also constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement and the Domestic Credit Agreement. In the event any Secured Party assigns its rights under this Agreement, the Domestic Credit Agreement, the Borrower Agreement, any note evidencing EXIM Bank Loans and/or under any EXIM Note evidencing EXIM Extensions of Credit, to any third party, including, without limitation, EXIM Bank, whether before or after the occurrence of any Event of Default, such Secured Party shall have the right (but not any obligation), in its sole discretion, to allocate and apportion Collateral to the Borrower Agreement, the Domestic Credit Agreement and/or note assigned and to specify the priorities of the respective security interests in such Collateral between itself and the assignee, all without notice to or consent of the Borrower. Should any term of this Agreement conflict with any term of the Domestic Credit Agreement or the Borrower Agreement, the more restrictive term in such agreements shall govern.
