(vii)                           Letters of Credit Outstanding Beyond the Commitment Period.  If any Letter of Credit is outstanding upon the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment, then, upon such termination, the Borrower shall deposit with the Agent, for the benefit of the Fronting Lender, with respect to all outstanding Letters of Credit, either cash or a Supporting Letter of Credit, which, in each case, is (A) in an amount equal to one hundred five percent (105%) of the undrawn amount of the outstanding Letters of Credit, and (B) free and clear of all rights and claims of third parties.  The cash shall be deposited in an escrow account at a financial institution designated by the Fronting Lender.  The Fronting Lender shall be entitled to withdraw (with respect to the cash) or draw (with respect to the Supporting Letter of Credit) amounts necessary to reimburse the Fronting Lender for payments to be made under the Letters of Credit and any fees and expenses associated with such Letters of Credit, or incurred pursuant to the reimbursement agreements with respect to such Letters of Credit.  The Borrower shall also execute such documentation as the Agent or the Fronting Lender may reasonably require in connection with the survival of the Letters of Credit beyond the Revolving Credit Commitment or this Agreement.  After expiration of all undrawn Letters of Credit, the Supporting Letter of Credit or the remainder of the cash, as the case may be, shall promptly be returned to the Borrower.

(viii)                        Requests for Letters of Credit When One or More Lenders are Affected Lenders.  No Letter of Credit shall be requested or issued hereunder if any Lender is at such time an Affected Lender hereunder, unless the Agent (and the Fronting Lender) has entered into satisfactory (to the Agent) arrangements (including, without limitation, the posting of cash collateral) with the Borrower or such Affected Lender to eliminate or mitigate the reimbursement risk with respect to such Affected Lender.

(ix)                              Letters of Credit Issued and Outstanding When One or More Lenders are Affected Lenders.  With respect to any Letters of Credit that have been issued and are outstanding at the time any Lender is an Affected Lender, the Agent (and the Fronting Lender) shall have the right to request that the Borrower or such Affected Lender cash collateralize, in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent (and the Fronting Lender), such Letters of Credit so as to eliminate or mitigate the reimbursement risk with respect to such Affected Lender.

(x)                                 Existing Letters of Credit.  Schedule 1.3 hereto contains a description of all letters of credit outstanding on, and which will continue in effect after, the Closing Date.

(c)                                  Swingline Loans.

(i)                                     Generally.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during the Commitment Period, the Swingline Lender shall make a Swingline Loan or Swingline Loans to the Borrower in such amount or amounts as the Borrower, through an Authorized Officer, may from time to time request; provided that, the Borrower shall not request any Swingline Loan if,

42

after giving effect thereto, (A) the Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment, or (B) the Swing Line Exposure would exceed the Swing Line Commitment.  Each Swingline Loan shall be due and payable on the Swingline Loan Maturity Date applicable thereto.

(ii)                                  Refunding of Swingline Loans.  As often as the Agent, in its sole discretion deems appropriate, but in no event later than 10:00 a.m. (Pacific time) on each Wednesday (or the next Business Day if such Wednesday is not a Business Day) (each a “Settlement Date”), the Swingline Lender shall require (and the Lenders and the Borrower agree that the Swingline Lender shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to require) that the then outstanding Swingline Loans be refinanced as a Revolving Loan.  Such Revolving Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan unless otherwise requested by and available to the Borrower hereunder.  Upon receipt of such notice by the Borrower and the Lenders, the Borrower shall be deemed, on such day, to have requested a Revolving Loan in the principal amount of the Swingline Loan in accordance with Sections 2.2(a) and 2.5 hereof (other than the requirement set forth in Section 2.5(d) hereof).  Such Revolving Loan shall be evidenced by the Revolving Credit Notes (or, if a Lender has not requested a Revolving Credit Note, by the records of the Agent and such Lender).  Each Lender agrees to make a Revolving Loan on the date of such notice, subject to no conditions precedent whatsoever.  Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that such Lender’s obligation to make a Revolving Loan pursuant to Section 2.2(a) hereof when required by this Section 2.2(c)(ii) is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation, the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default, and that its payment to the Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, of the proceeds of such Revolving Loan shall be made without any offset, abatement, recoupment, counterclaim, withholding or reduction whatsoever and whether or not the Revolving Credit Commitment shall have been reduced or terminated.  The Borrower irrevocably authorizes and instructs the Agent to apply the proceeds of any borrowing pursuant to this Section 2.2(c)(ii) to repay in full such Swingline Loan.  Each Lender is hereby authorized to record on its records relating to its Revolving Credit Note (or, if such Lender has not requested a Revolving Credit Note, its records relating to Revolving Loans) such Lender’s pro rata share of the amounts paid to refund such Swingline Loan.

(iii)                               Participation in Swingline Loans.  If, for any reason, the Agent is unable to or, in the opinion of the Agent, it is impracticable to, convert any Swingline Loan to a Revolving Loan pursuant to the preceding Section 2.2(c)(ii), then on any day that a Swingline Loan is outstanding (whether before or after the maturity thereof), the Agent shall have the right to request that each Lender fund a participation in such Swingline Loan, and the Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof (by facsimile or telephone (confirmed in writing)).  Upon such notice, but without further action, the Swingline Lender hereby agrees to grant to each Lender, and each Lender hereby agrees to acquire from the Swingline Lender, an undivided participation interest in the right to share in the payment of such Swingline Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the principal amount of such Swingline Loan.  In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Agent, for the benefit of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s ratable share of such Swingline Loan (determined in accordance with such Lender’s Commitment Percentage).  Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this Section 2.2(c)(iii) is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation, the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, recoupment, counterclaim, withholding or

43

reduction whatsoever and whether or not the Revolving Credit Commitment shall have been reduced or terminated.  Each Lender shall comply with its obligation under this Section 2.2(c)(iii) by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.5 hereof with respect to Revolving Loans to be made by such Lender.

(iv)                              Requests for Swingline Loan When One or More Lenders are Affected Lenders.  No Swingline Loan shall be requested or issued hereunder if any Lender is at such time an Affected Lender hereunder, unless the Agent has entered into satisfactory (to the Agent) arrangements (including, without limitation, the posting of cash collateral) with the Borrower or such Affected Lender to eliminate or mitigate the reimbursement risk with respect to such Affected Lender.

(v)                                 Swingline Loans Outstanding When One or More Lenders are Affected Lenders.  With respect to any Swingline Loans that are outstanding at the time any Lender is an Affected Lender, the Agent shall have the right to request that the Borrower or such Affected Lender cash collateralize, in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent, such Swingline Loans so as to eliminate or mitigate the reimbursement risk with respect to such Affected Lender.

Section 2.3.  Interest.

(a)                                 Revolving Loans.

(i)                                     Base Rate Loan.  The Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of a Base Rate Loan outstanding from time to time from the date thereof until paid at the Derived Base Rate from time to time in effect.  Interest on such Base Rate Loan shall be payable, commencing December 1, 2017, and continuing on the first day of each calendar month thereafter and at the maturity thereof.

(ii)                                  Eurodollar Loans.  The Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Loan outstanding from time to time, fixed in advance on the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto through the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (but subject to changes in the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Loans), at the Derived Eurodollar Rate.  Interest on such Eurodollar Loan shall be payable on each Interest Adjustment Date with respect to an Interest Period.

(b)                                 Swingline Loans.  The Borrower shall pay interest to the Agent, for the sole benefit of the Swingline Lender (and any Lender that shall have purchased a participation in such Swingline Loan), on the unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan outstanding from time to time, from the date thereof until paid at the Derived Base Rate from time to time in effect.  Interest on Swingline Loans shall be payable on the first day of each calendar month and at the maturity thereof.  Each Swingline Loan shall bear interest for a minimum of one day.

(c)                                  Default Rate.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if an Event of Default shall occur, upon the election of the Agent or the Required Lenders (i) the principal of each Loan and the unpaid interest thereon shall bear interest, until paid, at the Default Rate, (ii) the fee for the aggregate undrawn amount of all issued and outstanding Letters of Credit shall be increased by two percent (2%) in excess of the rate otherwise applicable thereto, and (iii) in the case of any other amount not paid when due from the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document, such amount shall bear interest at the Default Rate; provided that, the applicable Default Rate shall apply automatically without any election or action on the part of the Agent or any Lender during an Event of Default under Section 8.12 hereof.

44

(d)                                 Limitation on Interest.  In no event shall the rate of interest hereunder exceed the maximum rate allowable by law.  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 Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower.  In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (iii) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations.

Section 2.4.  Evidence of Indebtedness.

(a)                                 Revolving Loans.  Upon the request of a Lender, to evidence the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Revolving Loans made by such Lender and to pay interest thereon, the Borrower shall execute a Revolving Credit Note, payable to the order of such Lender in the principal amount equal to its Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Amount, or, if less, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Revolving Loans made by such Lender; provided that the failure of a Lender to request a Revolving Credit Note shall in no way detract from the Borrower’s obligations to such Lender hereunder.

(b)                                 Swingline Loans.  Upon the request of the Swingline Lender, to evidence the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Swingline Loans and to pay interest thereon, the Borrower shall execute a Swingline Note, payable to the order of the Swingline Lender in the principal amount of the Swing Line Commitment, or, if less, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Swingline Loans made by the Swingline Lender; provided that the failure of the Swingline Lender to request a Swing Line Note shall in no way detract from the Borrower’s obligations to the Swingline Lender hereunder.

Section 2.5.  Notice of Credit Event; Funding of Loans.

(a)                                 Notice of Credit Event.  The Borrower, through an Authorized Officer, shall provide to the Agent a Notice of Loan prior to (i) 10:00 a.m. (Pacific time) on the proposed date of borrowing of, or conversion of a Loan to, a Base Rate Loan, (ii) 10:00 a.m. (Pacific time) three Business Days prior to the proposed date of borrowing of, continuation of, or conversion of a Loan to, a Eurodollar Loan, and (iii) 10:00 a.m. (Pacific time) on the proposed date of borrowing of any Swingline Loan, or such other time to which the Swingline Lender may agree; provided that, if a request for a Base Rate Loan shall not be on a Settlement Date, such request shall be deemed to be a request for a Swingline Loan (unless the Agent shall elect to have the Lenders fund such request with a Revolving Loan that meets the requirements of this Section 2.5), so long as the Swing Line Exposure shall not exceed the Swing Line Commitment.  The Borrower shall comply with the notice provisions set forth in Section 2.2(b) hereof with respect to Letters of Credit.

(b)                                 Funding of Loans.  The Agent shall notify each Lender of the date, amount and Interest Period (if applicable) promptly upon the receipt of a Notice of Loan (other than for a Swingline Loan, or a Revolving Loan to be funded as a Swingline Loan), and, in any event, by 11:00 a.m. (Pacific time) on the date such Notice of Loan is received.  On the date that the Credit Event set forth in such Notice of Loan is to occur, each such Lender shall provide to the Agent, not later than 1:00 p.m. (Pacific time), the amount in Dollars, in federal or other immediately available funds, required of it.  If the Agent shall elect to advance the proceeds of such Loan prior to receiving funds from such Lender, the Agent shall have the right, upon prior notice to the Borrower, to debit any account of the Borrower or otherwise receive such amount from the Borrower, promptly after demand, in the event that such Lender shall fail to reimburse

45

the Agent in accordance with this subsection.  The Agent shall also have the right to receive interest from such Lender at the Federal Funds Effective Rate in the event that such Lender shall fail to provide its portion of the Loan on the date requested and the Agent shall elect to provide such funds.

(c)                                  Conversion and Continuation of Loans.

(i)                                     At the request of the Borrower to the Agent, subject to the notice and other provisions of this Section 2.5, the Lenders shall convert a Base Rate Loan to one or more Eurodollar Loans at any time and shall convert a Eurodollar Loan to a Base Rate Loan on any Interest Adjustment Date applicable thereto.  Swingline Loans may be converted by the Swingline Lender to Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.2(c)(ii) hereof.

(ii)                                  At the request of the Borrower to the Agent, subject to the notice and other provisions of this Section 2.5, the Lenders shall continue one or more Eurodollar Loans as of the end of the applicable Interest Period as a new Eurodollar Loan with a new Interest Period.

(d)                                 Minimum Amount.  Each request for:

(i)                                     a Base Rate Loan shall be in an amount of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), increased by increments of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000);

(ii)                                  a Eurodollar Loan shall be in an amount of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), increased in increments of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000); and

(iii)                               a Swingline Loan may be in any amount as may be agreed to by the Swingline Lender.

(e)                                  Interest Periods.  The Borrower shall not request that Eurodollar Loans be outstanding for more than five different Interest Periods at the same time.

(f)                                   Advancing of Non Pro-Rata Revolving Loans.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Borrower requests a Revolving Loan pursuant to Section 2.5(a) hereof (and all conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.1 hereof are met) at a time when one or more Lenders are Defaulting Lenders, the Agent shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to require the non-Defaulting Lenders to honor such request by making a non pro-rata Revolving Loan to the Borrower in an amount equal to (i) the amount requested by the Borrower, minus (ii) the portions of such Revolving Loan that should have been made by such Defaulting Lenders; provided that no Lender shall be required to make Loans in an aggregate amount (when added to such Lender’s risk participation in Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit) that would exceed the Maximum Amount for such Lender.  For purposes of such Revolving Loans, the Lenders that are making such Revolving Loan shall do so in proportion to their Commitment Percentages of the amount requested by the Borrower.

Section 2.6.  Payment on Loans and Other Obligations.

(a)                                 Payments Generally.  Each payment made hereunder by a Credit Party shall be made without any offset, abatement, recoupment, counterclaim, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(b)                                 Payments in Dollars from the Borrower.  All payments (including prepayments) to the Agent of the principal of or interest on each Loan or other payment, including but not limited to principal, interest, fees or any other amount owed by the Borrower under this Agreement, shall be made in Dollars.  All payments described in this subsection (b) shall be remitted to the Agent, at the address of the Agent

46

for notices referred to in Section 11.4 hereof for the account of the Lenders (or the Fronting Lender or the Swingline Lender, as appropriate) not later than 10:00 a.m. (Pacific time) on the due date thereof in immediately available funds.  Any such payments received by the Agent (or the Fronting Lender or the Swingline Lender) after 10:00 a.m. (Pacific time) shall be deemed to have been made and received on the next Business Day.

(c)                                  Payments to Lenders.  On each Settlement Date (and more frequently if deemed appropriate by the Agent), the Agent shall distribute to each Lender its ratable share, if any, of the amount of principal payments received by the Agent for the account of such Lender.  With respect to interest, unused line fees and other payments received by the Agent from the Borrower, the Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender its ratable share, if any, of the amount of interest, unused line fee or other payment received by the Agent for the account of such Lender.  Each Lender shall record any principal, interest or other payment, the principal amounts of Base Rate Loans, Eurodollar Loans, Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit, all prepayments and the applicable dates, including Interest Periods, with respect to the Loans made, and payments received by such Lender, by such method as such Lender may generally employ; provided, however, that failure to make any such entry shall in no way detract from the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement or any Note.  The aggregate unpaid amount of Loans, types of Loans, Interest Periods and similar information with respect to the Loans and Letters of Credit set forth on the records of the Agent shall be rebuttably presumptive evidence with respect to such information, including the amounts of principal, interest and fees owing to each Lender.

(d)                                 Timing of Payments.  Whenever any payment to be made hereunder, including, without limitation, any payment to be made on any Loan, shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next Business Day and such extension of time shall in each case be included in the computation of the interest payable on such Loan; provided that, with respect to a Eurodollar Loan, if the next Business Day shall fall in the succeeding calendar month, such payment shall be made on the preceding Business Day and the relevant Interest Period shall be adjusted accordingly.

(e)                                  Affected Lender.  To the extent that the Agent receives any payments or other amounts for the account of an Affected Lender, at the discretion of the Agent, such Affected Lender shall be deemed to have requested that the Agent use such payment or other amount (or any portion thereof, at the discretion of the Agent) first, to cash collateralize its unfunded risk participation in Swingline Loans and the Letters of Credit pursuant to Sections 2.2(b)(vi), 2.2(c)(iii), and 2.5(b) hereof, and, with respect to any Defaulting Lender, second, to fulfill its obligations to make Loans.

(f)                                   Payment of Non Pro-Rata Revolving Loans.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at the sole discretion of the Agent, in order to pay Revolving Loans that were not advanced pro rata by the Lenders, any payment of any Loan may first be applied to such Revolving Loans that were not advanced pro rata.

Section 2.7.  Prepayment.

(a)                                 Right to Prepay.

(i)                                     The Borrower shall have the right at any time or from time to time to prepay, on a pro rata basis for all of the Lenders (except with respect to Swingline Loans, which shall be paid to the Swingline Lender and any Lender that has funded a participation in such Swingline Loan), all or any part of the principal amount of the Loans.  Such payment shall include interest accrued on the amount so prepaid to the date of such prepayment and any amount payable under Article III hereof with respect to the amount being prepaid.  Prepayments of Base Rate Loans shall be without any premium or penalty.

47

(ii)                                  The Borrower shall have the right, at any time or from time to time, to prepay, for the benefit of the Swingline Lender (and any Lender that has funded a participation in such Swingline Loan), all or any part of the principal amount of the Swingline Loans then outstanding, as designated by the Borrower, plus interest accrued on the amount so prepaid to the date of such prepayment.

(iii)                               Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.7 or otherwise to the contrary, at the discretion of the Agent, in order to prepay Revolving Loans that were not advanced pro rata by all of the Lenders, any prepayment of a Loan shall first be applied to Revolving Loans made by the Lenders during any period in which a Defaulting Lender or Insolvent Lender shall exist.

(b)                                 Notice of Prepayment.  The Borrower shall give the Agent irrevocable written notice of prepayment of a Base Rate Loan or Swingline Loan by no later than 10:00 a.m. (Pacific time) one Business Day before the Business Day on which such prepayment is to be made and written notice of the prepayment of any Eurodollar Loan not later than 10:00 a.m. (Pacific time) three Business Days before the Business Day on which such prepayment is to be made.  Swingline Loans may be prepaid without advance notice if prepaid through a “sweep” cash management arrangement with the Agent.

(c)                                  Minimum Amount.  Each prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan shall be in the principal amount of not less than the lesser of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), or, with respect to a Swingline Loan, the principal balance of such Swingline Loan, except in the case of a mandatory payment pursuant to Section 2.11 or Article III hereof.

Section 2.8.  Unused Line Fee and Other Fees.

(a)                                 Unused Line Fee.  The Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the ratable account of the Lenders, as a consideration for the Revolving Credit Commitment, an unused line fee from the Closing Date to and including the last day of the Commitment Period, payable monthly, at a rate per annum equal to (i) the Applicable Unused Line Fee Rate in effect on the payment date, multiplied by (ii) the average daily Revolving Amount in effect during such calendar month, minus (B) the average daily Revolving Credit Exposure (exclusive of the Swing Line Exposure) during such calendar month.  The unused line fee shall be payable in arrears, commencing December 1, 2017 and continuing on the first day of each calendar month thereafter, and on the last day of the Commitment Period.

(b)                                 Agent Fee.  The Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for its sole benefit, the fees set forth in the Agent Fee Letter.

(c)                                  Collateral Audit and Appraisal Fees.  The Borrower shall reimburse the Agent, for its sole benefit, for all costs and expenses relating to any collateral assessment, that may be conducted from time to time by or on behalf of the Agent, the scope and frequency of which shall be in the Agent’s sole discretion; provided that, (i) (A) if no Event of Default is continuing and (B) Average Excess Availability is not less than fifteen percent (15%) of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments, the Borrower need not reimburse the Agent for more than two collateral field audits and one Inventory appraisal during each calendar year and (ii) if the Average Excess Availability is less than fifteen percent (15%) of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments for five (5) consecutive days, the date of the most recent collateral field audit may not be more than one hundred twenty (120) days old and the date of the most recent Inventory appraisal shall not be more than one hundred eighty (180) days old and the Borrower shall reimburse Agent for appraisals and collateral field audits needed to be completed to comply with the above requirements.  During the existence of a Default or an Event of Default, there shall be no limit on the number of appraisals or field audits for which the Borrower shall reimburse Agent.

48

(d)                                 Authorization to Debit Account.  The Borrower hereby agrees that the Agent has the right to debit from any Deposit Account of the Borrower or any other Credit Party, amounts owing to the Agent and the Lenders by the Borrower under this Agreement and the Loan Documents for payment of fees, expenses and other amounts incurred or owing in connection therewith; provided that, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall then exist, the Agent shall provide the Borrower with three days advance notice (which may be by email or telephone to a Financial Officer) prior to debiting any Deposit Account of a Credit Party.

Section 2.9.  Modifications to Commitment.

(a)                                 Optional Reduction of the Total Commitment Amount.  The Borrower may at any time and from time to time permanently reduce in whole or ratably in part the Total Commitment Amount to an amount not less than the then existing Revolving Credit Exposure, by giving the Agent not fewer than three (3) Business Days’ (with respect to Eurodollar Loans) and one (1) Business Day (with respect to Base Rate Loans) (or thirty (30) days if the Total Commitment Amount is to be terminated in its entirety) written notice of such reduction, provided that any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount, for all of the Lenders, of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), increased in increments of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000).  The Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the date of each such reduction and such Lender’s proportionate share thereof.  After each such partial reduction, the unused line fees payable hereunder shall be calculated upon the Total Commitment Amount as so reduced.  If the Borrower reduces in whole the Total Commitment Amount, on the effective date of such reduction (the Borrower having prepaid in full the unpaid principal balance, if any, of the Loans, together with all interest (if any) and commitment and other fees accrued and unpaid with respect thereto, and provided that no Letter of Credit Exposure or Swing Line Exposure shall exist), all of the Revolving Credit Notes shall be delivered to the Agent marked “Canceled” and the Agent shall redeliver such Revolving Credit Notes to the Borrower.  Any partial reduction in the Total Commitment Amount shall be effective during the remainder of the Commitment Period.

(b)                                 Increase in Total Commitment Amount.

(i)                                     At any time during the Commitment Increase Period, Borrower may request that the Agent increase the Revolving Amount up to an amount that shall not exceed the Maximum Revolving Amount, either from one or more of the Lenders or another lending institution satisfactory to Agent in its sole discretion; provided that, (u) such request does not cause the Revolving Credit Commitments to cease being “Permitted Indebtedness” under the Senior Notes Indenture, (v) such request for an increase shall be in an amount of at least Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000), increased by increments of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), (w) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing or result therefrom, (x) both before and after giving effect thereto, the Borrower shall be in pro forma compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 5.7 hereof, (y) all conditions set forth in Article 4 hereof shall have been satisfied, and (z) if the Agent agrees to such increase in the Revolving Amount, such increase may be made by either (A) increasing, for one or more Lenders, with their prior written consent, their respective Revolving Credit Commitments, or (B) including one or more Additional Lenders, each with a new commitment under the Revolving Credit Commitment, as a party to this Agreement (collectively, the “Additional Commitments”).  Nothing contained in this Section 2.9(b)(i) shall constitute or otherwise be deemed to be, a commitment on the part of any Lender to increase its Maximum Amount at any time.

49

(ii)                                  During the Commitment Increase Period, all of the Lenders agree that the Agent, in its sole discretion, may permit one or more Additional Commitments upon satisfaction of the following requirements: (A) each Additional Lender, if any, shall execute an Additional Lender Assumption Agreement, (B) the Agent shall provide to each Lender a revised Schedule 1 to this Agreement, including revised Commitment Percentages for each of the Lenders, if appropriate, at least three Business Days prior to the date of the effectiveness of such Additional Commitments (each an “Additional Lender Assumption Effective Date”), (C) the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Agent and the Lenders such replacement or additional Revolving Credit Notes as shall be required by the Agent, and (D) the Borrower shall, on the Additional Lender Assumption Effective Date, deliver to the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, an opinion of counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent, indicating that the Obligations incurred pursuant to the Additional Commitments are permitted to be incurred, and permitted to be secured, pursuant to the Senior Notes Documents.  The Lenders hereby authorize the Agent to execute each Additional Lender Assumption Agreement on behalf of the Lenders.

(iii)                               On each Additional Lender Assumption Effective Date, the Lenders shall make adjustments among themselves with respect to the Revolving Loans then outstanding and amounts of principal, interest, unused line fees and other amounts paid or payable with respect thereto as shall be necessary, in the opinion of the Agent, in order to reallocate among such Lenders such outstanding amounts, based on the revised Commitment Percentages and to otherwise carry out fully the intent and terms of this Section 2.9(b) (and the Borrower shall pay to the Lenders any amounts that would be payable pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof if such adjustments among the Lenders would cause a prepayment of one or more Eurodollar Loans).  In connection therewith, it is understood and agreed that the Maximum Amount of any Lender will not be increased (or decreased except pursuant to Section 2.9(a) hereof) without the prior written consent of such Lender.  The Borrower shall not request any increase in the Total Commitment Amount pursuant to this Section 2.9(b) if a Default or an Event of Default shall then exist, or immediately after giving effect to any such increase would exist.

Section 2.10.  Computation of Interest and Fees.  Interest on Loans, Letter of Credit fees, Related Expenses and commitment and other fees and charges hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year having three hundred sixty (360) days and calculated for the actual number of days elapsed.

Section 2.11.  Mandatory Payments.

(a)                                 Revolving Credit Exposure.  If, at any time, the Revolving Credit Exposure shall exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment, the Borrower shall, as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than the next Business Day, pay an aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans sufficient to bring the Revolving Credit Exposure within the Revolving Credit Commitment.

(b)                                 Swing Line Exposure.  If, at any time, the Swing Line Exposure shall exceed the Swing Line Commitment, the Borrower shall, as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than the next Business Day, pay an aggregate principal amount of the Swingline Loans sufficient to bring the Swing Line Exposure within the Swing Line Commitment.

(c)                                  Application of Mandatory Payments.  Unless otherwise designated by the Borrower, each prepayment pursuant to Section 2.11(a) hereof shall be applied in the following order (i) first, on a pro rata basis for the Lenders, to outstanding Base Rate Loans, and (ii) second, on a pro rata basis for the Lenders, to outstanding Eurodollar Loans; provided that, if the outstanding principal amount of any Eurodollar Loan shall be reduced to an amount less than the minimum amount set forth in Section 2.5(d) hereof as a result of such prepayment, then such Eurodollar Loan shall be converted into a Base Rate

50

Loan on the date of such prepayment.  Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be subject to the prepayment provisions set forth in Article III hereof.

Section 2.12.  Establishment of Reserves.  The Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, shall have the right from time to time, in the good faith exercise of its reasonable credit judgment (consistent with the asset-based nature of this credit and the Agent’s customary and generally applicable practices), to establish Reserves in such amounts and with respect to such matters as the Agent deems necessary or appropriate, and to increase or decrease such Reserves.  In exercising such reasonable credit judgment, the Agent may take into account factors that (a) will or could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the value of any Collateral, the enforceability or priority of the Liens held by the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, or the amount that the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, would be likely to receive in the liquidation of such Collateral, or (b) may demonstrate that any collateral report or financial information concerning the Credit Parties is incomplete, inaccurate or misleading in any material respect.  In exercising such reasonable credit judgment, Reserves may be established against anticipated obligations, contingencies or conditions affecting the Companies, including, without limitation, (i) tax liabilities and other obligations owing to Governmental Authorities, (ii) asserted litigation liabilities, (iii) anticipated remediation costs for compliance with Environmental Laws, (iv) obligations owing to any lessor of real property, any warehouseman, any processor or any mortgagor on third party mortgaged sites, and (v) in connection with Hedge Agreements and Bank Product Obligations.  Reserves may also be established with respect to the dilution of Accounts, as a result of inventory appraisals and other results of field examinations.

Section 2.13.  Addition of Borrowing Base Company.  At the request of the Borrower and at the sole discretion of the Agent, a Domestic Subsidiary may become a Borrowing Base Company hereunder, provided that, in addition to the Agent’s consent, (a) such Domestic Subsidiary shall have complied with all requirements of Section 5.20 hereof, (b) the assets of such Domestic Subsidiary shall have been appraised and otherwise evaluated for borrowing base eligibility purposes in a manner and by appraisers satisfactory to the Agent, and (c) such Domestic Subsidiary shall have provided to the Agent such corporate governance and authorization documents and an opinion of counsel and any other documents and items as may be deemed necessary or advisable by the Agent, all of the foregoing to be in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent.

Section 2.14.  Record of Advances; Application of Collections.

(a)                                 Maintenance of Record of Advances.  The Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, shall maintain records in respect of the Credit Parties that shall reflect (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans and accrued interest, (ii) the unreimbursed Letter of Credit drawings, (iii) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Swingline Loans and accrued interest, and (iv) all other Obligations that shall have become payable hereunder (the “Advance Record”).  Each entry by the Agent in the Advance Record shall be, to the extent permitted by applicable law and absent manifest error, prima facie evidence of the data entered.  Such entries by the Agent shall not be a condition to the Borrower’s obligation to repay the Obligations.

(b)                                 Charges, Credits and Reports.  The Borrower hereby authorizes the Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, to charge the Advance Record with all Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans and all other Obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.  The Advance Record will be credited in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement with all payments received by the Agent directly from the Borrower or any other Credit Party or otherwise for the account of the Borrower or any other Credit Party pursuant to this Agreement.  The Agent shall send the Borrower monthly statements in accordance with the Agent’s standard procedures.  Any and all such periodic or other statements or reconciliations of

51

the Advance Record shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Borrower and the other Credit Parties in all respects, absent manifest error, unless the Agent receives specific written objection thereto from the Borrower within thirty (30) Business Days after such statements or reconciliation shall have been sent to the Borrower.

(c)                                  Application of Specific Payments.  Except for the crediting to the Advance Record of Collections deposited to one or more Cash Collateral Accounts as provided below, the Borrower shall make all other payments to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement with respect to the Obligations not later than 10:00 a.m. (Pacific time) on the day when due, without setoff, counterclaim, defense or deduction of any kind.  Payments received after 10:00 a.m. (Pacific time) shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day.  Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Borrower may specify to the Agent the Obligations to which such payment is to be applied.  If the Borrower does not specify an application for such payment or if an Event of Default has occurred, the Agent shall apply such payment in its discretion.

(d)                                 Crediting of Collections During a Trigger Period.  For the purpose of calculating interest on the Obligations and determining the aggregate amount of Loans outstanding during a Trigger Period, the amount of the Revolving Credit Exposure and the availability for additional Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit, all Collections deposited into a Cash Collateral Account shall be credited to the account of the Borrower or the other Credit Parties, as appropriate, (as reflected in the Advance Record) on the next Business Day after the Business Day on which the Agent has received notice of the deposit of the proceeds of such Collections into such Cash Collateral Account (including automated clearinghouse and federal wire transfers); provided that, immediately available funds shall be applied on the same Business Day.  Such Collections shall be credited as follows: (i) first to any costs and expenses due under this Agreement, (ii) second to Swingline Loans, (iii) third to Base Rate Loans, and (iv) fourth to Eurodollar Loans.  If such Collections made on a date other than a Settlement Date are in excess of the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans outstanding, then such Collections may, in the discretion of the Agent depending on the amount of such payment, be credited towards the Swingline Lender’s pro rata share of Revolving Loans outstanding until such payments can be reallocated among the Lenders on the next Settlement Date.  From time to time, upon advance written notice to the Borrower, the Agent may adopt such additional or modified regulations and procedures as the Agent may deem reasonable and appropriate with respect to the operation of the Cash Collateral Accounts and not substantially inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement.

(e)                                  Application of Deposits in Cash Collateral Accounts During a Trigger Period.  Deposits of Collections to the Cash Collateral Accounts during a Trigger Period shall be credited to the Advance Record of the Borrower on a daily basis in accordance with subsection (d) above, and thereby reduce the Swing Line Exposure or the Revolving Credit Exposure (other than in respect of the undrawn amount of any Letter of Credit outstanding) as the Agent may choose, in its sole discretion; provided that, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Agent will use reasonable efforts to avoid applications of payments that would cause prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan prior to the expiration of the applicable Interest Period.  Upon payment in full of the Secured Obligations (other than contingent Secured Obligations for which no written demand has been made or asserted) and the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment, deposits of Collections to the Cash Collateral Accounts shall be credited by the Agent as directed by the Borrower.

Section 2.15.  Protective Advances.  The Agent may, in its reasonable discretion, make Protective Advances without the consent of the Lenders, so long as after giving effect to such Protective Advances, the aggregate amount of outstanding Protective Advances shall not exceed the Total Commitment Amount.  A Protective Advance is for the account of the Borrower and shall constitute

52

Obligations.  Any such Protective Advances incurred after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default shall be deemed to have been made in connection with the exercise of remedies by the Agent and shall have the priority set forth in Section 9.8 hereof as expenses of the Agent incurred in connection with the exercise of remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.  To the extent the Agent makes Protective Advances, the Borrower hereby agrees to promptly reimburse the Agent, on demand, for all such Protective Advances.  The advance of any such Protective Advances on any one occasion shall not obligate the Agent to advance any Protective Advances on any other occasion and nothing in this Section 2.15 shall be construed as excusing any Company from the performance of any covenant or other agreement of such Company with respect to any of the foregoing matters as set forth in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents.  The Lenders shall reimburse the Agent for any Protective Advances to the extent that the Agent does not receive reimbursement pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement, and, at the sole option of the Agent, the Agent may reimburse itself for Protective Advances through the making of a Swingline Loan or by requesting that the Lenders fund a Revolving Loan, subject to no conditions precedent whatsoever (but, for clarification, subject to the first sentence hereof) other than notice to the Lenders in accordance with Section 2.5(a) hereof.

ARTICLE III. ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO
EURODOLLAR LOANS; INCREASED CAPITAL; TAXES

Section 3.1.  Requirements of Law.

(a)                                 If, after the Closing Date, (i) the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof by a Governmental Authority, or (ii) the compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority:

(A)                               shall subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit or any Eurodollar Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Taxes and Excluded Taxes which are governed by Section 3.2 hereof);

(B)                               shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate; or

(C)                               shall impose on such Lender any other condition,

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender, promptly after receipt of a written request therefor, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable.  If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection (a), such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.

(b)                                 If any Lender shall have determined that, after the Closing Date, the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity or in the interpretation or application thereof by a Governmental Authority or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity (whether or

53

not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder, or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit, to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Lender or such corporation with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, upon submission by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) of a written request therefor (which shall include the method for calculating such amount), the Borrower shall promptly pay or cause to be paid to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such corporation for such reduction.

(c)                                  For purposes of this Section 3.1, the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act, any requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning capital adequacy promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, or the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices (or any successor or similar authority) under Basel III, and any rules, regulations, orders, requests, guidelines and directives adopted, promulgated or implemented in connection with any of the foregoing, regardless of the date adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented, are deemed to have been introduced and adopted after the Closing Date.

(d)                                 A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 3.1 submitted by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  In determining any such additional amounts, such Lender may use any method of averaging and attribution that it (in its sole discretion) shall deem applicable.  The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.1 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section 3.2.  Taxes.

(a)                                 All payments made by any Credit Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes or Other Taxes.  If any Taxes or Other Taxes are required to be deducted or withheld from any amounts payable to the Agent or any Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to the Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Agent or such Lender (after deducting, withholding and payment of all Taxes and Other Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in the Loan Documents.

(b)                                 Whenever any Taxes or Other Taxes are required to be withheld and paid by a Credit Party, such Credit Party shall timely withhold and pay such taxes to the relevant Governmental Authorities.  As promptly as possible thereafter, the Borrower shall send to the Agent for its own account or for the account of the relevant Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by such Credit Party showing payment thereof or other evidence of payment reasonably acceptable to the Agent or such Lender.  If such Credit Party shall fail to pay any Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate Governmental Authority or fails to remit to the Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, such Credit Party and the Borrower shall indemnify the Agent and the appropriate Lenders on demand for any incremental Taxes or Other Taxes paid or payable by the Agent or such Lender as a result of any such failure.

(c)                                  Each Lender that is not (i) a citizen or resident of the United States of America, (ii) a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States of America (or any jurisdiction thereof), or (iii) an estate or trust that is subject to federal income taxation regardless of the source of its income (any such Person, a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent two copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, Form W-8IMY

54

or Form W-8ECI, or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a statement with respect to such interest and two copies of a Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by Credit Parties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement or such other Loan Document.  In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms or appropriate replacements promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender.  Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower at any time it determines that such Lender 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 subsection (c), a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this subsection (c) that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(d)                                 The agreements in this Section 3.2 shall survive the termination of the Loan Documents and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section 3.3.  Funding Losses.  The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender, promptly after receipt of a written request therefor, and to hold each Lender harmless from, any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (c) the making of a prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, or (d) any conversion of a Eurodollar Loan to a Base Rate Loan on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto.  Such indemnification shall be in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amounts so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the appropriate London interbank market, along with any administration fee charged by such Lender.  A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 3.3 submitted to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) by any Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section 3.4.  Eurodollar Rate Lending Unlawful; Inability to Determine Rate.

(a)                                 If any Lender shall determine (which determination shall, upon notice thereof to the Borrower and the Agent, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower) that, after the Closing Date, (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law makes it unlawful, or (ii) any Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender to make or continue any Loan as, or to convert (if permitted pursuant to this Agreement) any Loan into, a Eurodollar Loan, the obligations of such Lender to make, continue or convert any such Eurodollar Loan shall, upon such determination, be suspended until such Lender shall notify the Agent that the circumstances causing such suspension no

55

longer exist, and all outstanding Eurodollar Loans payable to such Lender shall automatically convert (if conversion is permitted under this Agreement) into a Base Rate Loan, or be repaid (if no conversion is permitted) at the end of the then current Interest Periods with respect thereto or sooner, if required by law or such assertion.

(b)                                 If the Agent or the Required Lenders determine that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Loan, or that the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding such Loan, the Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender.  Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain such Eurodollar Loan shall be suspended until the Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of such Eurodollar Loan or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a borrowing of a Base Rate Loan in the amount specified therein.

Section 3.5.  Discretion of Lenders as to Manner of Funding.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each Lender shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of such Lender’s Loans in any manner such Lender deems to be appropriate; it being understood, however, that for the purposes of this Agreement all determinations hereunder shall be made as if such Lender had actually funded and maintained each Eurodollar Loan during the applicable Interest Period for such Loan through the purchase of deposits having a maturity corresponding to such Interest Period and bearing an interest rate equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period.

(a)                                 holds permits, certificates, licenses, orders, registrations, franchises, authorizations, and other approvals from any Governmental Authority necessary for the conduct of its business and is in compliance with all applicable laws relating thereto, except where the failure to do so would not have a Material Adverse Effect;

Section 6.7.  Tax Returns.  All federal, state, provincial and local tax returns and other reports required by law to be filed in respect of the income, business, properties and employees of each Company have been filed and all taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental charges that are due and payable have been paid, except as otherwise permitted herein.  The provision for taxes on the books of each Company is adequate for all years not closed by applicable statutes and for the current fiscal year.

Section 6.8.  Environmental Laws.  Except as set forth in Schedule 6.8, each Company is in material compliance with all Environmental Laws, including, without limitation, all Environmental Laws in all jurisdictions in which any Company owns or operates, or has owned or operated, a facility or site, arranges or has arranged for disposal or treatment of hazardous substances, solid waste or other wastes, accepts or has accepted for transport any hazardous substances, solid waste or other wastes or holds or has held any interest in real property or otherwise.  Except as set forth in the Schedule 6.8, no litigation or proceeding arising under, relating to or in connection with any

80

Environmental Law or Environmental Permit is pending or, to the best knowledge of each Company, threatened, against any Company, any real property in which any Company holds or has held an interest or any past or present operation of any Company.  Except as set forth in the Schedule 6.8, no material release, threatened release or disposal of hazardous waste, solid waste or other wastes is occurring, or has occurred (other than those that are currently being remediated in accordance with Environmental Laws), on, under or to any real property in which any Company holds any interest or performs any of its operations, in violation of any Environmental Law.  As used in this Section 6.8, “litigation or proceeding” means any demand, claim, notice, suit, suit in equity, action, administrative action, investigation or inquiry whether brought by any Governmental Authority or private Person, or otherwise.

Section 6.9.  Locations.  The Companies have places of business or maintain their Accounts, Inventory and Equipment at the locations (including third party locations) set forth on Schedule 6.9 hereto (as such schedule may be amended or supplemented from time to time), and each Company’s chief executive office is set forth on Schedule 6.9 hereto.  Schedule 6.9 hereto (as such schedule may be amended or supplemented from time to time) further specifies whether each location, as of the Closing Date, (a) is owned by the Companies, or (b) is leased by a Company from a third party, and, if leased by a Company from a third party, if a Landlord’s Waiver has been requested.  Schedule 6.9 hereto (as such schedule may be amended or supplemented from time to time) correctly identifies the name and address of each third party location where assets of the Companies are located.

Section 6.10.  Continued Business.  There exists no actual, pending, or, to the Borrower’s knowledge, any threatened termination, cancellation or limitation of, or any modification or change in the business relationship of any Company and any customer or supplier, or any group of customers or suppliers, whose purchases or supplies, individually or in the aggregate, are material to the business of any Company, and there exists no present condition or state of facts or circumstances that would have a Material Adverse Effect or prevent a Company from conducting such business or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in substantially the same manner in which it was previously conducted.

Section 6.11.  Employee Benefits Plans.

(a)                                 US Employee Benefit Plans.  Schedule 6.11 hereto (as such schedule may be amended or supplemented from time to time) identifies each ERISA Plan.  No ERISA Event has occurred or is expected to occur with respect to an ERISA Plan.  Full payment has been made of all amounts that a Controlled Group member is required, under applicable law or under the governing documents, to have paid as a contribution to or a benefit under each ERISA Plan.  The liability of each Controlled Group member with respect to each ERISA Plan has been fully funded based upon reasonable and proper actuarial assumptions, has been fully insured, or has been fully reserved for on its financial statements.  No changes have occurred or are expected to occur that would cause a material increase in the cost of providing benefits under the ERISA Plan.  With respect to each ERISA Plan that is intended to be qualified under Code Section 401(a), (a) the ERISA Plan and any associated trust operationally comply with the applicable requirements of Code Section 401(a); (b) the ERISA Plan and any associated trust have been amended to comply with all such requirements as currently in effect, other than those requirements for which a retroactive amendment can be made within the “remedial amendment period” available under Code Section 401(b) (as extended under Treasury Regulations and other Treasury pronouncements upon which taxpayers may rely); (c) the ERISA Plan and any associated trust have received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service stating that the ERISA Plan qualifies under Code Section 401(a), that the associated trust qualifies under Code Section 501(a) and, if applicable, that any cash or deferred arrangement under the ERISA Plan qualifies under Code Section 401(k), unless the ERISA Plan was first adopted at a time for which the above-described “remedial

81

amendment period” has not yet expired; (d) the ERISA Plan currently satisfies the requirements of Code Section 410(b), without regard to any retroactive amendment that may be made within the above-described “remedial amendment period”; and (e) no contribution made to the ERISA Plan is subject to an excise tax under Code Section 4972.  With respect to any Pension Plan, the “accumulated benefit obligation” of Controlled Group members with respect to the Pension Plan (as determined in accordance with Statement of Accounting Standards No. 87, “Employers’ Accounting for Pensions”) does not exceed the fair market value of Pension Plan assets.

(b)                                 Foreign Pension Plan and Benefit Plans.  Schedule 6.11 hereto (as such schedule may be amended or supplemented from time to time) lists all Foreign Benefit Plans and Foreign Pension Plans currently maintained or contributed to by the Borrower and any appropriate Foreign Subsidiaries.  The Foreign Pension Plans are duly registered under all applicable laws which require registration.  The Borrower and any appropriate Foreign Subsidiaries have complied with and performed all of its obligations under and in respect of the Foreign Pension Plans and Foreign Benefit Plans under the terms thereof, any funding agreements and all applicable laws (including any fiduciary, funding, investment and administration obligations) except to the extent as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  All employer and employee payments, contributions or premiums to be remitted, paid to or in respect of each Foreign Pension Plan or Foreign Benefit Plan have been paid in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms thereof, any funding agreement and all applicable laws except to the extent the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  There are no outstanding actions or suits concerning the assets of the Foreign Pension Plans or the Foreign Benefit Plans.  Each of the Foreign Pension Plans is fully funded on an ongoing basis as required by all laws applicable to such Foreign Pension Plans (using actuarial methods and assumptions as of the date of the valuations last filed with the applicable Governmental Authorities and that are consistent with generally accepted actuarial principles).

Section 6.12.  Consents or Approvals.  No consent, approval or authorization of, or filing, registration or qualification with, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required to be obtained or completed by any Company in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of any of the Loan Documents that has not already been obtained or completed.

Section 6.13.  Solvency.  The Borrower has received consideration that is the reasonably equivalent value of the obligations and liabilities that the Borrower has incurred to the Agent and the Lenders.  After giving effect to the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated by the Senior Note Documents and the making of the Loans under this Agreement, each Credit Party is Solvent.  No Credit Party is engaged or about to engage in any business or transaction for which the assets retained by it are or will be an unreasonably small amount of capital, taking into consideration the obligations to the Agent and the Lenders incurred hereunder.  No Credit Party intends to, nor does any Credit Party believe that it will, incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature.

Section 6.14.  Financial Statements.  The audited Consolidated financial statements of the Borrower, for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2016 and the unaudited Consolidated financial statements of the Borrower for the Quarterly Reporting Period ended October 1, 2017, furnished to the Agent and the Lenders, are true and complete, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, and fairly present the financial condition of the Companies as of the dates of such financial statements and the results of their operations for the periods then ending.  Since the dates of such statements, there has been no material adverse change in any Company’s financial condition, properties or business or any change in any Company’s accounting procedures.

82

Section 6.15.  Regulations.  No Company is engaged principally or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any “margin stock” (within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States of America).  Neither the granting of any Loan (or any conversion thereof) or Letter of Credit nor the use of the proceeds of any Loan or Letter of Credit will violate, or be inconsistent with, the provisions of Regulation T, Regulation U, Regulation X, Regulation Y or any other Regulation of such Board of Governors.

Section 6.16.  Material Agreements.  Except as disclosed on Schedule 6.16 hereto (as such schedule may be amended or supplemented from time to time), no Company is a party to any (a) debt instrument (excluding the Loan Documents); (b) lease (capital, operating or otherwise), whether as lessee or lessor thereunder; (c) contract, commitment, agreement, or other arrangement involving the purchase or sale of any inventory by it, or the license of any right to or by it; (d) contract, commitment, agreement, or other arrangement with any of its “Affiliates” (as such term is defined in the Exchange Act) other than a Company; (e) management or employment contract or contract for personal services with any of its Affiliates that is not otherwise terminable at will or on less than ninety (90) days’ notice without liability; (f) collective bargaining agreement; or (g) other contract, agreement, understanding, or arrangement with a third party; that, as to any such agreement described in any of subsections (a) through (g) above, if violated, breached, or terminated for any reason, would have or would be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 6.17.  Intellectual Property.  Each Company owns, or has the right to use, all of the patents, patent applications, industrial designs, designs, trademarks, service marks, copyrights and licenses, and rights with respect to the foregoing, necessary for the conduct of its business without any known conflict with the rights of others.  Schedule 6.17 hereto (as such schedule may be amended or supplemented from time to time) sets forth all federally registered patents, trademarks, copyrights, service marks and license agreements owned by the Borrower or any Domestic Subsidiary.

Section 6.18.  Insurance.  Each Company maintains with financially sound and reputable insurers insurance with coverage and limits as required by law and as is customary with Persons engaged in the same businesses as the Companies.  Schedule 6.18 hereto sets forth all insurance carried by the Companies on the Closing Date, setting forth in detail the amount and type of such insurance.

Section 6.19.  Deposit and Securities Accounts.  Schedule 6.19 hereto (as such schedule may be amended or supplemented from time to time) lists all banks, other financial institutions and Securities Intermediaries at which the Borrower or any Domestic Subsidiary maintains Deposit Accounts or Securities Accounts, and Schedule 6.19 hereto (as such schedule may be amended or supplemented from time to time) correctly identifies the name, address and telephone number of each such financial institution or Securities Intermediary, the name in which the account is held, a description of the purpose of the account, and the complete account number therefor.

Section 6.20.  Accurate and Complete Statements.  Neither the Loan Documents nor any written statement made by any Company in connection with any of the Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein or in the Loan Documents not misleading.  After due inquiry by the Borrower, there is no known fact that any Company has not disclosed to the Agent and the Lenders that has or is likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 6.21.  Senior Notes Documents.  Except as set forth on Schedule 6.21, no “default” or “event of default” (as each term is defined in any Senior Notes Document), or event with which the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would cause a default or event of default, exists, nor will exist immediately after the granting of any Loan or the issuance of any Letter of Credit under this Agreement.

Section 6.23.  Assigned Government Contracts.  Schedule 6.23 hereto (as such schedule may be amended or supplemented from time to time) sets forth a true, correct and complete list of all Assigned Government Contracts in effect on the Closing Date.  All such Assigned Government Contracts, together with any updates provided pursuant to Section 5.3(i) hereof, are in full force and effect and no defaults currently exist thereunder (other than as described in Schedule 6.23 hereto or in such updates).  Except as set forth in Schedule 6.23, no Assigned Government Contract (a) contains any provision permitting reduction or set offs of amounts to be paid thereunder, (b) contains any provision restricting assignments of sums due thereunder to the Agent, or (c) has been assigned to any other Person.

Section 6.24.  Pledged Notes.  Each Pledged Note constitutes a valid obligation of the maker thereof, and is enforceable according to its tenor and free from any defense or offset of any kind.  No default has occurred under any Pledged Note.  Each Credit Party has a valid, duly perfected security interest in and lien on all of the property that serves to secure its Pledged Notes.  Each Credit Party’s security interest constitutes the first and only lien upon such property and, to such Credit Party’s knowledge, constitutes the first and only lien upon such property and, to such Credit Party’s knowledge, no other party claims to have any right, title or interest of any kind in or to such property other than such Credit Party.  No Credit Party has any obligations to make any further or additional loans or advances to, or purchases of securities from, any maker with respect to any of the Pledged Notes of such Credit Party.  No Pledged Note of any Credit Party is subject to any defense, offset or counterclaim, nor have any of the foregoing been asserted or alleged against such Pledgor by any Person.

The security interest and Liens granted in the Collateral are given in renewal, confirmation, extension and modification, but not in extinguishment, of the security interests and Liens previously granted in the Collateral pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement; such prior security interests and Liens are not extinguished hereby; and the making, perfection and priority of such prior security interests and Liens shall continue in full force and effect.

On or before thirty (30) days after the Closing Date (or such later date determined by Agent in its sole discretion), the Credit Parties shall (i) establish a lockbox arrangement with the Agent, on behalf of the Lenders (one or more lockboxes hereunder collectively referred to herein as the “Lockbox”), which shall be governed by Agent’s standard documentation, and, within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, shall request in writing and otherwise take such reasonable steps to ensure that all Account Debtors forward all Collections either (A) directly to the Lockbox, or (B) directly to one or more Cash Collateral Accounts by wire transfer (if the Credit Parties neglect or refuse to notify any such Account Debtor to remit all such Collections to the Lockbox, the Agent shall be entitled to make such notification), (ii) hold in trust for the Agent, as fiduciary for the Agent, all checks, cash and other items of payment received by the Credit Parties, and (iii) not commingle any Collections with any other funds or property of the Credit Parties, but will hold such funds separate and apart in trust and as fiduciary for the Agent until deposit is made into the Cash Collateral Accounts.

85

(b)                                 Cash Collateral Accounts.  On or before thirty (30) days after the Closing Date (or such later date determined by Agent in its sole discretion), the Credit Parties shall have established one or more Cash Collateral Accounts with the Agent, on behalf of the Lenders.  All Collections from sales of Inventory and services rendered or from Account Debtors sent to the Lockbox shall be deposited directly on a daily basis, and in any event no later than the first Business Day after the date of receipt thereof, into the Cash Collateral Accounts in the identical form in which such Collections were made (except for any necessary endorsements) whether by cash or check.  All amounts deposited in the Cash Collateral Accounts from the Lockbox or any other source shall be under the sole and exclusive control of the Agent.  The Credit Parties shall have no interest in or control over such funds.  The Cash Collateral Account shall not be subject to any deduction, set off, banker’s lien or any other right in favor of any Person other than the Agent.  At all times other than during a Trigger Period, all amounts deposited in the Cash Collateral Account shall be deposited into the Operating Accounts on a daily basis.

(f)                                   Costs of Collection.  All service charges and costs related to the establishment and maintenance of the Security Accounts shall be the sole responsibility of the Borrower, whether the same are incurred by the Agent or the Credit Parties.  The Credit Parties hereby indemnify and hold the Agent harmless from and against any loss or damage with respect to any deposits made in the Security Accounts that are dishonored or returned for any reason.  If any deposits are dishonored or returned unpaid for any reason, the Agent, in its sole discretion, may charge the amount thereof against the Cash Collateral Accounts or any other Security Account or other Deposit Account of the Credit Parties.  The Agent shall not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from any error, omission, failure or negligence on the part of the Agent, except losses or damages resulting from the Agent’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

86

(g)                                  Return of Funds.  Upon the payment in full of the Secured Obligations (other than contingent Secured Obligations for which no written demand has been made or asserted) and the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder, (i) the Agent’s security interests and other rights in funds in the Security Accounts shall terminate, (ii) all rights to such funds shall revert to the Credit Parties, as applicable, and (iii) the Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, take such steps as the Borrower may reasonably request to evidence the termination of such security interests and to effect the return to the Credit Parties of such funds.

Section 7.3.  Collections and Receipt of Proceeds by the Agent.  Each Credit Party hereby constitutes and appoints the Agent, or the Agent’s designated agent, as the Borrower’s attorney-in-fact to exercise, at any time, all or any of the following powers which, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable until the complete and full payment of all of the Secured Obligations:

88

ARTICLE IX. REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT

Notwithstanding any contrary provision or inference herein or elsewhere:

Section 9.1.  Optional Defaults.  If any Event of Default referred to in Section 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 8.5, 8.6, 8.7, 8.8, 8.9, 8.10 or 8.11 hereof shall occur, the Agent may, and at the written request of the Required Lenders shall, give written notice to the Borrower to:

(a)                                 terminate the Revolving Credit Commitment, if not previously terminated, and, immediately upon such election, the obligations of the Lenders, and each thereof, to make any further Loan, and the obligation of the Fronting Lender to issue any Letter of Credit, immediately shall be terminated; and/or

(b)                                 accelerate the maturity of all of the Obligations (if the Obligations are not already due and payable), whereupon all of the Obligations shall become and thereafter be immediately due and payable in full without any presentment or demand and without any further or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower.

Section 9.2.  Automatic Defaults.  If any Event of Default referred to in Section 8.12 hereof shall occur:

(a)                                 all of the Revolving Credit Commitment shall automatically and immediately terminate, if not previously terminated, and no Lender thereafter shall be under any obligation to grant any further Loan, nor shall the Fronting Lender be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit; and

(b)                                 the principal of and interest then outstanding on all of the Loans, and all of the other Obligations, shall thereupon become and thereafter be immediately due and payable in full (if the Obligations are not already due and payable), all without any presentment, demand or notice of any kind, which are hereby waived by the Borrower.

Section 9.3.  Letters of Credit.  If the maturity of the Obligations shall be accelerated pursuant to Section 9.1 or 9.2 hereof, the Borrower shall immediately deposit with the Agent, as security for the obligations of the Borrower and any Guarantor of Payment to reimburse the Agent and the Lenders for any then outstanding Letters of Credit, cash equal to one hundred five percent (105%) of the sum of the aggregate undrawn balance of any then outstanding Letters of Credit.  The Agent and the Lenders are hereby authorized, at their option, to deduct any and all such amounts from any deposit balances then owing by any Lender (or any affiliate of such Lender, wherever located) to or for the credit or account of any Credit Party, as security for the obligations of the Borrower and any Guarantor of Payment to reimburse the Agent and the Lenders for any then outstanding Letters of Credit.

Section 9.4.  Offsets.  If there shall occur or exist any Event of Default referred to in Section 8.12 hereof or if the maturity of the Obligations is accelerated pursuant to Section 9.1 or 9.2 hereof, each Lender shall have the right at any time to set off against, and to appropriate and apply toward the payment of, any and all of the Obligations then owing by the Borrower or a Guarantor of Payment to such Lender (including, without limitation, any participation purchased or to be purchased pursuant to Section 2.2(b), 2.2(c) or 9.5 hereof), whether or not the same shall then have matured, any and all deposit (general or special) balances and all other indebtedness then held or owing by such Lender (including, without limitation, by branches and agencies or any affiliate of such Lender, wherever located) to or for the credit or account of the Borrower or any Guarantor of Payment, all without notice to or demand upon the Borrower or any other Person, all such notices and demands being hereby expressly waived by the Borrower.

92

Section 9.5.  Equalization Provisions.  Each Lender agrees with the other Lenders that if it, at any time, shall obtain any Advantage over the other Lenders or any thereof in respect of the Obligations (except as to Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit prior to the Agent’s giving of notice to participate and except under Article III hereof), it shall purchase from the other Lenders, for cash and at par, such additional participation in the Obligations as shall be necessary to nullify the Advantage.  If any such Advantage resulting in the purchase of an additional participation as aforesaid shall be recovered in whole or in part from the Lender receiving the Advantage, each such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price restored (but without interest unless the Lender receiving the Advantage is required to pay interest on the Advantage to the Person recovering the Advantage from such Lender) ratably to the extent of the recovery.  Each Lender further agrees with the other Lenders that if it at any time shall receive any payment for or on behalf of the Borrower on any Indebtedness owing by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by reason of offset of any deposit or other indebtedness, by counterclaim or cross-action, by the enforcement of any right under any Loan Document, or otherwise), it will apply such payment first to any and all Obligations owing by the Borrower to that Lender (including, without limitation, any participation purchased or to be purchased pursuant to this Section 9.5 or any other section of this Agreement).  Each Credit Party agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from the other Lenders or any thereof pursuant to this Section 9.5 may exercise all of its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Credit Party in the amount of such participation.

Section 9.6.  Collateral.  The Agent and the Lenders shall at all times have the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC, in addition to the rights and remedies of a secured party provided elsewhere within this Agreement, in any other Related Writing executed by the Borrower or otherwise provided in law or equity.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and at all times thereafter, the Agent may require the Borrower to assemble the Collateral, which the Borrower agrees to do, and make it available to the Agent and the Lenders at a reasonably convenient place to be designated by the Agent.  The Agent may, with or without notice to or demand upon the Borrower and with or without the aid of legal process, make use of such force as may be necessary to enter any premises where the Collateral, or any thereof, may be found and to take possession thereof (including anything found in or on the Collateral that is not specifically described in this Agreement, each of which findings shall be considered to be an accession to and a part of the Collateral) and for that purpose may pursue the Collateral wherever the same may be found, without liability for trespass or damage caused thereby to the Borrower.  After any delivery or taking of possession of the Collateral, or any thereof, pursuant to this Agreement, then, with or without resort to the Borrower personally or any other Person or property, all of which the Borrower hereby waives, and upon such terms and in such manner as the Agent may deem advisable, the Agent, in its discretion, may sell, assign, transfer and deliver any of the Collateral at any time, or from time to time.  No prior notice need be given to the Borrower or to any other Person in the case of any sale of Collateral that the Agent determines to be perishable or to be declining speedily in value or that is customarily sold in any recognized market, but in any other case the Agent shall give the Borrower not fewer than ten days prior notice of either the time and place of any public sale of the Collateral or of the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition thereof is to be made.  The Borrower waives advertisement of any such sale and (except to the extent specifically required by the preceding sentence) waives notice of any kind in respect of any such sale.  At any such public sale, the Agent or the Lenders may purchase the Collateral, or any part thereof, free from any right of redemption, all of which rights the Borrower hereby waives and releases.  After deducting all Related Expenses, and after paying all claims, if any, secured by Liens having precedence over this Agreement, the Agent may apply the net proceeds of each such sale to or toward the payment of the Secured Obligations, whether or not then due, in such order and by such division as the Agent, in its sole discretion, may deem advisable.  Any excess, to the extent permitted by law, shall be paid to the Borrower, and the Borrower shall remain

93

liable for any deficiency.  In addition, the Agent shall at all times have the right to obtain new appraisals of the Borrower or the Collateral, the cost of which shall be paid by the Borrower.

Section 9.7.  Other Remedies.  The remedies in this Article IX are in addition to, not in limitation of, any other right, power, privilege, or remedy, either in law, in equity, or otherwise, to which the Lenders may be entitled.  The Agent shall exercise the rights under this Article IX and all other collection efforts on behalf of the Lenders and no Lender shall act independently with respect thereto, except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement.

Section 9.8.  Application of Proceeds.

(a)                                 Payments Prior to Exercise of Remedies.  Prior to the exercise by the Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, of remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, all monies received by the Agent in connection with the Revolving Credit Commitment shall be applied, unless otherwise required by the terms of the other Loan Documents or by applicable law, to the Loans and Letters of Credit, as appropriate; provided that the Agent shall have the right at all times to apply any payment received from the Borrower first to the payment of all obligations (to the extent not paid by the Borrower) incurred by the Agent pursuant to Section 11.5 hereof and to the payment of Related Expenses.

(b)                                 Payments Subsequent to Exercise of Remedies.  After the exercise by the Agent or the Required Lenders of remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, all monies received by the Agent shall be applied, unless otherwise required by the terms of the other Loan Documents or by applicable law, as follows:

(i)                                     first, to the payment of all obligations (to the extent not paid by the Borrower) incurred by the Agent pursuant to Section 11.5 hereof and to the payment of Related Expenses;

(ii)                                  second, to the payment pro rata of (A) interest then accrued and payable on the outstanding Loans, (B) any fees then accrued and payable to the Agent, and (C) any fees then accrued and payable to the relevant Fronting Lender or the holders of the Letter of Credit Commitment in respect of the Letter of Credit Exposure;

(iii)                               third, for payment of (A) principal outstanding on the Loans and the Letter of Credit Exposure, on a pro rata basis to the Lenders, based upon each such Lender’s Commitment Percentage, provided that the amounts payable in respect of the Letter of Credit Exposure shall be held and applied by the Agent as security for the reimbursement obligations in respect thereof, and, if any Letter of Credit shall expire without being drawn, then the amount with respect to such Letter of Credit shall be distributed to the Lenders, on a pro rata basis in accordance with this subsection (iii), (B) the Obligations owing under any Hedge Agreement with a Lender Counterparty, such amount to be based upon the termination amount (determined in accordance with the terms of the applicable Hedging Agreement, including any applicable netting provisions) of the Companies under such Hedge Agreement, provided as to any Lender other than SunTrust, notice of such Obligations has been provided to Agent under Section 10.13 hereof and provided as to any Lender a Reserve as to such Obligations has been established pursuant to Section 2.12(b)(v) and (C) the Bank Product Obligations owing to a Lender (or an entity that is an affiliate of a then existing Lender) under Bank Product Agreements, provided as to any Lender other than SunTrust, notice of such Obligations has been provided to Agent under Section 10.13 hereof and a Reserve as to such Obligations has been established pursuant to Section 2.12(b)(v), pro rata to the Lenders (or affiliates thereof) and Lender Counterparties in proportion to the amounts described in this subsection (iii) owing to them;

94

(iv)                              fourth, for payment in full of all other Secured Obligations; and

(v)                                 finally, any remaining surplus after all of the Secured Obligations have been paid in full, to the Borrower or to whomsoever shall be lawfully entitled thereto.

ARTICLE X. THE AGENT

Section 10.1.  Appointment of the Agent.

(a)                                 Each Lender irrevocably appoints SunTrust Bank as the Agent and authorizes it to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with all such actions and powers that are reasonably incidental thereto.  The Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder or under the other Loan Documents by or through any one or more sub-Agents or attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Agent.  The Agent and any such sub-Agent or attorney-in-fact may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions set forth in this Article shall apply to any such sub-Agent, attorney-in-fact or Related Party and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as the Agent.

(b)                                 The Fronting Lender shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith until such time and except for so long as the Agent may agree at the request of the Required Lenders to act for the Fronting Lender with respect thereto; provided that the Fronting Lender shall have all the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Agent in this Article with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the Fronting Lender in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the application and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to the Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Agent” as used in this Article included the Fronting Lender with respect to such acts or omissions and (ii) as additionally provided in this Agreement with respect to the Fronting Lender.

Section 10.2.  Nature of Duties of the Agent.  The Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except those discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Agent is required to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 11.3), provided that the Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the 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 the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable debtor relief law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable debtor relief law;  and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Credit Party that is communicated to or obtained by the Agent or any of its affiliates in any capacity.  The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it, its sub-Agents or its attorneys-in-fact with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 11.3) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-Agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.  The Agent shall not be deemed to

have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof (which notice shall include an express reference to such event being a “Default” or “Event of Default” hereunder) is given to the Agent by the Borrower or any Lender, and the Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements, or other terms and conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agent.  The Agent may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower) concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.

Section 10.3.  Lack of Reliance on the Agent.  Each of the Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Fronting Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, the Fronting Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each of the Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Fronting Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, the Fronting Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking any action under or based on this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Section 10.4.  Certain Rights of the Agent.  If the Agent shall request instructions from the Required Lenders with respect to any action or actions (including the failure to act) in connection with this Agreement, the Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such act unless and until it shall have received instructions from such Lenders, and the Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining.  Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Agent as a result of the Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders where required by the terms of this Agreement.

Section 10.5.  Reliance by the Agent.  The 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, posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person.  The Agent may also rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  The Agent may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower), independent public 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 such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 10.6.  The Agent in its Individual Capacity.  The bank serving as the Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and any other Loan Document in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it were not the Agent; and the terms “Lenders”, “Required Lenders”,  or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Agent in its individual capacity.  SunTrust Bank acting as the Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with any Credit Party or any Affiliate of the Borrower as if it were not the Agent hereunder.

Section 10.7.  Successor Agent.

(a)                                 The Agent may not be removed, but may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower.  Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent, subject to, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists at such time, approval by the Borrower (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).  If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent gives notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or a bank which maintains an office in the United States.

(b)                                 Upon the acceptance of its appointment as the Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  If, within forty-five (45) days after written notice is given of the retiring Agent’s resignation under this Section, no successor Agent shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment, then on such 45th day (i) the retiring Agent’s resignation shall become effective, (ii) the retiring Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents and (iii) the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all duties of the retiring Agent under the Loan Documents until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided above.  After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent and its representatives and Agents in respect of any actions taken or not taken by any of them while it was serving as the Agent.

(c)                                  In addition to the foregoing, if a Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, and if Borrower has failed to provide cash collateral in accordance with Section 2.2(b)(ix), Section 2.2(c)(iv) or Section 2.2(c)(v) then the Fronting Lender and the Swingline Lender may, upon prior written notice to the Borrower and the Agent, resign as Fronting Lender or as Swingline Lender, as the case may be, effective at the close of business Atlanta, Georgia time on a date specified in such notice (which date may not be less than five (5) Business Days after the date of such notice), and upon such resignation, shall be released from any further obligation hereunder.

Section 10.8.  Withholding Tax.  To the extent required by any applicable law, the Agent may withhold from any interest payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax.  If the Internal Revenue Service or any authority of the United States or any other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Agent of a change in circumstances that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the Agent (to the extent that the Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses, allocated staff costs and any out of pocket expenses.

Section 10.9.  The Agent May File Proofs of Claim.

(a)                                 In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Credit Party, the Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or any Revolving Credit Exposure shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of

97

whether the Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(i)                                     to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans or Revolving Credit Exposure and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Fronting Lender and the Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Fronting Lender and the Agent and its agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Fronting Lender and the Agent under Section 10.3) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

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

(b)                                 Any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and the Fronting Lender to make such payments to the Agent and, if the Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Fronting Lender, to pay to the Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Agent under Section 10.3.

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

Section 10.10.  Authorization to Execute Other Loan Documents.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to execute on behalf of all Lenders all Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement and any other intercreditor or subordination agreements) other than this Agreement.

Section 10.11.  Collateral and Guaranty Matters.  The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Agent, at its sole option and in its sole discretion:

(a)                                 to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitment, the Cash Collateralization of all reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit in an amount equal to 105% of the aggregate Letter of Credit Exposure of all Lenders, and the payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent Secured Obligations for which no written demand has been made or asserted and such cash collateralized reimbursement obligations), (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 10.2; and

(b)                                 to release any Credit Party from its obligations under the applicable Security Documents if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder.

Upon request by the Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Agent’s authority to release its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Credit Party from its obligations under the applicable Security Documents pursuant to this Section.  In each case as specified in this Section, the Agent is authorized, at the Borrower’s expense, to execute and deliver to the

98

applicable Credit Party such documents as such Credit Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the Liens granted under the applicable Security Documents, or to release such Credit Party from its obligations under the applicable Security Documents, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section.

Section 10.12.  Right to Realize on Collateral and Enforce Guarantee.  Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower, the Agent and each Lender hereby agree that (i) no Lender shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Security Documents, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under the Security Documents may be exercised solely by the Agent, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure by the Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and the Agent, as Agent for and representative of the Lenders (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing), shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Agent at such sale or other disposition.

Section 10.13.  Secured Bank Product Obligations and Obligations Under Hedging Agreements.  Except as expressly provided in Section 11.3(b)(ii), no Lender (or affiliate thereof) or Lender Counterparty providing Bank Products or Hedge Agreements that obtains the benefits of Section 9.8(b), the Security Documents or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any other Loan Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article to the contrary and except as to SunTrust Bank, the Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Bank Product Agreements and Secured Obligations in respect of Hedge Agreements unless the Agent has received written notice of such Secured Obligations (which notice shall include, if desired by the applicable Lender, a request for Reserves to be established pursuant to Section 2.12(b)(v) hereof as to such Obligations and shall set forth the aggregate amount of all Secured Obligations in respect of Bank Product Agreements and all Secured Obligations in respect of Hedge Agreements), together with such supporting documentation as the Agent may request, from the applicable Lender (or affiliate thereof) providing Bank Products or the applicable Lender Counterparty providing the Hedge Agreements, as the case may be, or to include such Bank Products Obligations or Secured Obligations in respect of Hedge Agreements in clause (iii) of Section 9.8(b), in the absence of such notice and supporting documentation.

ARTICLE XI. MISCELLANEOUS

Section 11.1.  Lenders’ Independent Investigation.  Each Lender, by its signature to this Agreement, acknowledges and agrees that the Agent has made no representation or warranty, express or implied, with respect to the creditworthiness, financial condition, or any other condition of any Company or with respect to the statements contained in any information memorandum furnished in connection herewith or in any other oral or written communication between the Agent and such Lender.  Each Lender represents that it has made and shall continue to make its own independent investigation of the creditworthiness, financial condition and affairs of the Companies in connection with the extension of credit hereunder, and agrees that the Agent has no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto (other than such

99

notices as may be expressly required to be given by the Agent to the Lenders hereunder), whether coming into its possession before the first Credit Event hereunder or at any time or times thereafter.  Each Lender further represents that it has reviewed each of the Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, the Intercreditor Agreement.

Section 11.2.  No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.  No omission or course of dealing on the part of the Agent, any Lender or the holder of any Note (or, if there is no Note, the holder of the interest as reflected on the books and records of the Agent) in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents.  The remedies herein provided are cumulative and in addition to any other rights, powers or privileges held under any of the Loan Documents or by operation of law, by contract or otherwise.

Section 11.3.  Amendments, Waivers and Consents.

(a)                                 General Rule.  No amendment, modification, termination, or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document nor consent to any variance therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required Lenders and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

(b)                                 Exceptions to the General Rule.  Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section 11.3:

(i)                                     Requirements.  Subject to subpart (ii) below, (A) no amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall (1) extend or increase the Maximum Amount of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (2) extend the date scheduled for payment of any principal (excluding mandatory prepayments) of or interest on the Loans or any unused line fees payable hereunder without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (3) reduce the principal amount of any Loan, the stated rate of interest thereon (provided that the institution of the Default Rate or post default interest and a subsequent removal of the Default Rate or post default interest shall not constitute a decrease in interest rate pursuant to this Section 11.3), the stated rate of any unused line fees payable hereunder, the amount of principal to be reimbursed when a Letter of Credit is drawn, or the stated rate of any Letter of Credit fees payable for the pro rata benefit of the Lenders, without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (except for periodic adjustments of interest rates and unused line fees resulting from a change in the Applicable Margin as provided for in this Agreement), (4) change any percentage voting requirement, voting rights, or the Required Lenders definition or the Super-Majority Lenders definition in this Agreement, without the unanimous consent of the Lenders, (5) release the Borrower or any Guarantor of Payment except in connection with a merger or sale of assets permitted pursuant to Section 5.12 hereof without the unanimous consent of the Lenders, (6) release all or substantially all of the Collateral securing the Secured Obligations, except as specifically permitted hereunder, without the unanimous consent of the Lenders, or (7) amend this Section 11.3 or Section 9.5 or 9.8 hereof without the unanimous consent of the Lenders and (B) no amendment or modification shall amend the definition of Borrowing Base (or any defined term used in such definition) if the effect of such amendment or modification is to increase borrowing availability without the consent of the Super-Majority Lenders.

(ii)                                  Provisions Relating to Special Rights and Duties.  No provision of this Agreement affecting the Agent in its capacity as such shall be amended, modified or waived without the consent of the Agent.  No provision of this Agreement relating to the rights or duties

100

of a Fronting Lender in its capacity as such shall be amended, modified or waived without the consent of such Fronting Lender.  No provision of this Agreement relating to the rights or duties of the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such shall be amended, modified or waived without the consent of the Swingline Lender. No provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 9.8(b)) or any other Loan Document shall be amended, modified or waived so as to alter the ratable treatment of Secured Obligations arising under the Loans Documents and Secured Obligations arising under Hedge Agreements with Lender Counterparties or the definition of “Lender Counterparty”, “Hedge Agreement”, or “Secured Obligations” (as such terms are defined in this Agreement or any applicable Loan Document), in each case in a manner adverse to any Lender Counterparty without the written consent of any such Lender Counterparty

(c)                                  Replacement of Non-Consenting Lender.  If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, (i) the consent of all Lenders is required, but only the consent of Required Lenders is obtained, or (ii) the consent of Required Lenders is required, but the consent of the Required Lenders is not obtained (any Lender withholding consent as described in subparts (i) and (ii) hereof being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, so long as the Agent is not the Non-Consenting Lender, the Agent may, at the sole expense of the Borrower, upon notice to such Non-Consenting Lender and the Borrower, require such Non-Consenting Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with the restrictions contained in Section 11.10 hereof) all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Transferee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that such Non-Consenting Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from such Eligible Transferee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts, including any breakage compensation under Article III hereof).

(d)                                 Generally.  Notice of amendments, waivers or consents ratified by the Lenders hereunder shall be forwarded by the Agent to all of the Lenders.  Each Lender or other holder of a Note, or if there is no Note, the holder of the interest as reflected on the books and records of the Agent (or interest in any Loan or Letter of Credit) shall be bound by any amendment, waiver or consent obtained as authorized by this Section 11.3, regardless of its failure to agree thereto.

101

(e)                                  To the extent not prohibited by applicable law, each Credit Party 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 actual or direct 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 therein, any Loan or any Letter of Credit or the use of proceeds thereof.

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

Section 11.7.  Obligations Several; No Fiduciary Obligations.  The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint.  Nothing contained in this Agreement and no action taken by the Agent or the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be deemed to constitute the Agent or the Lenders a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity.  No default by any Lender hereunder shall excuse the other Lenders from any obligation under this Agreement; but no Lender shall have or acquire any additional obligation of any kind by reason of such default.  The relationship between the Borrower and the Lenders with respect to the Loan Documents and the Related Writings is and shall be solely that of debtor and creditors, respectively, and neither the Agent nor any Lender shall have any fiduciary obligation toward any Credit Party with respect to any such documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.

Section 11.8.  Execution in Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, and by facsimile signature, each of which counterparts when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same agreement.
