balance of such Indebtedness during the period from the date of creation of such facility to the date of such calculation), (2) the Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary has repaid, repurchased, redeemed, defeased or otherwise acquired, retired or discharged any Indebtedness that is no longer outstanding on such date of determination (each, a “Discharge”) or if the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio involves a Discharge of Indebtedness (in each case other than Indebtedness incurred under any revolving credit facility unless such Indebtedness has been repaid with an equivalent permanent reduction in commitments thereunder), EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period shall be calculated after giving effect on a pro forma basis to such Discharge of Indebtedness, including with the proceeds of such new Indebtedness, as if such Discharge had occurred on the first day of such period, (3) the Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary shall have disposed of any company, any business or any group of assets constituting an operating unit of a business, including any such disposition occurring in connection with a transaction causing a calculation to be made hereunder, or designated any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary (any such disposition or designation, a “Sale”), the EBITDA for such period shall be reduced by an amount equal to the EBITDA (if positive) attributable to the company, business or group of assets that are the subject of such Sale for such period or increased by an amount equal to the EBITDA (if negative) attributable thereto for such period and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period shall be reduced by an amount equal to (A) the Consolidated Interest Expense attributable to any Indebtedness of the Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary repaid, repurchased, redeemed, defeased or otherwise acquired, retired or discharged with respect to the Parent Borrower and its continuing Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with such Sale for such period (including but not limited to through the assumption of such Indebtedness by another Person) plus (B) if the Capital Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary is disposed of in such Sale or any Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the Consolidated Interest Expense for such period attributable to the Indebtedness of such Restricted Subsidiary to the extent the Parent Borrower and its continuing Restricted Subsidiaries are no longer liable for such Indebtedness after such Sale, (4) the Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary (by merger, consolidation or otherwise) shall have made an Investment in any Person that thereby becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, or otherwise acquired any company, any business or any group of assets constituting an operating unit of a business, including any such Investment or acquisition occurring in connection with a transaction causing a calculation to be made hereunder, or designated any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary (any such Investment, acquisition or designation, a “Purchase”), EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period shall be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto (including the incurrence of any related Indebtedness) as if such Purchase occurred on the first day of such period, and (5) any Person became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged or consolidated with or into the Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, and since the beginning of such period such Person shall have Discharged any Indebtedness or made any Sale or Purchase that would have required an adjustment pursuant to clause (2), (3) or (4) above if made by the Parent Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such period, EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period shall be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Discharge, Sale or Purchase occurred on the first day of such period. For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to any Sale, Purchase or other transaction, or the amount of income or earnings relating thereto and the amount of Consolidated Interest Expense associated with any Indebtedness incurred, repaid,

62

repurchased, redeemed, defeased or otherwise acquired, retired or discharged in connection therewith, the pro forma calculations in respect thereof shall be as determined in good faith by the Chief Financial Officer or a Responsible Officer of the Parent Borrower, which determination shall be conclusive. If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest expense on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of determination had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Interest Rate Agreement applicable to such Indebtedness). If any Indebtedness bears, at the option of the Parent Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary, a rate of interest based on a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate or other fixed or floating rate, and such Indebtedness is being given pro forma effect, the interest expense on such Indebtedness shall be calculated by applying such optional rate as the Parent Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary may designate. If any Indebtedness that is being given pro forma effect was incurred under a revolving credit facility, the interest expense on such Indebtedness shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period.

(c) Financial ratios and other financial calculations pursuant to this Agreement, including calculations pursuant to Subsection 8.1 shall, following any transaction described in the definition of “Pro Forma Basis,” be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis until the completion of four full Fiscal Quarters following such transaction (and shall also be subject to clause (d) below to the extent applicable).

79

(d) For purposes of determining any financial ratio or making any financial calculation for any Fiscal Quarter (or portion thereof) ending prior to the Closing Date (other than the calculation of Consolidated Interest Expense, as and to the extent set forth in the definition thereof), the components of such financial ratio or financial calculation shall be determined on a pro forma basis to give effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred at the beginning of such four Fiscal Quarter period; and each Person that is a Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower upon giving effect to the Transactions shall be deemed to be a Restricted Subsidiary for purposes of the components of such financial ratio or financial calculation as of the beginning of such four Fiscal Quarter period.

(e) For purposes of this Agreement and any other Loan Document, for periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date, references to the consolidated financial statements of the Parent Borrower (or any Parent Entity or IPO Vehicle) shall be to the combined financial statements of the Waterworks Business, with pro forma effect being given to the Transactions (with Subsidiaries of the Waterworks Business that are Subsidiaries of the Parent Borrower after giving effect to the Transactions being deemed Subsidiaries of the Parent Borrower), as the context may require, provided that nothing in this clause (e) shall require the delivery of combined or consolidated financial statements or other similar materials for or with respect to the Waterworks Business, except as otherwise specifically required by this Agreement.

(f) Any financial ratios required to be maintained pursuant to this Agreement (or required to be satisfied in order for a specific action to be permitted under this Agreement) shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (rounding up if there is no nearest number).

(g) Any references in this Agreement to “cash and/or Cash Equivalents”, “cash, Cash Equivalents and/or Temporary Cash Investments” or any similar combination of the foregoing shall be construed as not double counting cash or any other applicable amount which would otherwise be duplicated therein.

(h) The meanings given to terms defined herein shall be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of such terms.

(i) The Borrowing Base shall be calculated without duplication, including without duplication of any reserves, items that are otherwise addressed or excluded through eligibility criteria or items that are factored into the calculation of collection rates or collection percentages.

(j) In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires that no Default, Event of Default or Specified Default, as applicable, has occurred, is continuing or would result from any such action, as applicable, such condition shall, at the option of the Borrower Representative, be deemed satisfied, so long as no Default,

80

Event of Default or Specified Default, as applicable, exists on the date (x) a definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is entered into, (y) in connection with an acquisition to which the United Kingdom City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (or any comparable laws, rules or regulations in any other jurisdiction) applies, the date on which a “Rule 2.7 announcement” of a firm intention to make an offer in respect of a target of a Limited Condition Transaction (or the equivalent notice under such comparable laws, rules or regulations in such other jurisdiction) or (z) irrevocable notice of redemption, repurchase, defeasance, satisfaction and discharge or repayment of Indebtedness, Disqualified Capital Stock or Preferred Stock is given. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower Representative has exercised its option under the first sentence of this clause (j), and any Default, Event of Default or Specified Default, as applicable, occurs following the date (x) a definitive agreement for the applicable Limited Condition Transaction was entered into, (y) in connection with an acquisition to which the United Kingdom City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (or any comparable laws, rules or regulations in any other jurisdiction) applies, the date on which a “Rule 2.7 announcement” of a firm intention to make an offer in respect of a target of a Limited Condition Transaction (or the equivalent notice under such comparable laws, rules or regulations in such other jurisdiction) or (z) irrevocable notice of redemption, repurchase, defeasance, satisfaction and discharge or repayment of Indebtedness, Disqualified Capital Stock or Preferred Stock is given, and prior to the consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such Default, Event of Default or Specified Default, as applicable, shall be deemed to not have occurred or be continuing for purposes of determining whether any action being taken in connection with such Limited Condition Transaction is permitted hereunder.

(k) In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of:

                (i) determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires the calculation of the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio or the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement) (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, in determining compliance with the Payment Condition for any purpose hereunder) or any other financial measure;

                (ii) testing baskets set forth in this Agreement (including baskets measured as a percentage of Consolidated Tangible Assets or Four Quarter Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Term Loan Credit Agreement)); or

                (iii) any other determination as to whether any such Limited Condition Transaction and any related transactions (including any financing thereof) complies with the covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement;

in each case, at the option of the Borrower Representative (the Borrower Representative’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCT Election”), the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder, shall be deemed to be the date (x) a definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is entered into, (y) in connection with an acquisition to which the United Kingdom City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (or any comparable laws, rules or regulations in any other jurisdiction) applies, the date on which a “Rule 2.7 announcement” of a firm intention to make an offer in

81

respect of a target of a Limited Condition Transaction (or the equivalent notice under such comparable laws, rules or regulations in such other jurisdiction) or (z) irrevocable notice of redemption, repurchase, defeasance, satisfaction and discharge or repayment of Indebtedness, Disqualified Capital Stock or Preferred Stock is given, as applicable (the “LCT Test Date”), and if, after giving pro forma effect to the Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence or Discharge of Indebtedness and Liens and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recent four consecutive fiscal quarters ending prior to the LCT Test Date for which consolidated financial statements of the Parent Borrower (or, as applicable, any Parent Entity or IPO Vehicle) are available, the Parent Borrower could have taken such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such ratio, basket or amount, such ratio, basket or amount shall be deemed to have been complied with. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower Representative has made an LCT Election and any of the ratios, baskets or amounts for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio, basket or amount, including due to fluctuations in exchange rates or in EBITDA or Consolidated Tangible Assets of the Parent Borrower or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Transaction or any applicable currency exchange rate, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such ratios, baskets or amounts will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations. If the Borrower Representative has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio, basket or amount with respect to the incurrence or Discharge of Indebtedness or Liens, or the making of Restricted Payments, mergers, the conveyance, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Parent Borrower or the designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary on or following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction (if an acquisition) is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such ratio, basket or amount shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence or Discharge of Indebtedness and Liens and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated.

SECTION 2

Amount and Terms of Commitments

2.1 Commitments. (a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make, at any time and from time to time on or after the Closing Date and prior to the Termination Date, a Revolving Credit Loan or Revolving Credit Loans to the Borrowers (on a joint and several basis as between the Borrowers), which Revolving Credit Loans:

(i) shall be denominated in Dollars;

(ii) shall, at the option of the Borrowers, be incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into, ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans, provided that except as otherwise specifically provided in Subsections 4.9 and 4.10, all Revolving Credit Loans comprising the same Borrowing shall at all times be of the same Type;

82

(iii) may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof;

(iv) shall not be made (and shall not be required to be made) by any Lender to the extent the incurrence thereof (after giving effect to the use of the proceeds thereof on the date of the incurrence thereof to repay any amounts theretofore outstanding pursuant to this Agreement) would cause the Individual Lender Exposure of such Lender to exceed the amount of its Commitment at such time; and

(v) shall not be made (and shall not be required to be made) by any Lender to the extent the incurrence thereof (after giving effect to the use of the proceeds thereof on the date of the incurrence thereof to repay any amounts theretofore outstanding pursuant to this Agreement) would cause the Aggregate Lender Exposure to exceed the lesser of (A) the aggregate Commitments as then in effect and (B) the Borrowing Base at such time (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Subsection 2.1(a) or elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to establish Availability Reserves in such amounts, and with respect to such matters, as the Administrative Agent in its Permitted Discretion shall deem necessary or appropriate, against the Borrowing Base including reserves with respect to (i) sums that the Borrowers are or will be required to pay (such as taxes (including payroll and sales taxes), assessments, insurance premiums, or, in the case of leased assets, rents or other amounts payable under such leases) and have not yet paid and (ii) amounts owing by the Borrowers or, without duplication, their respective Restricted Subsidiaries to any Person to the extent secured by a Lien on, or trust over, any of the ABL Priority Collateral, which Lien or trust, in the Permitted Discretion of the Administrative Agent is capable of ranking senior in priority to or pari passu with one or more of the Liens in the ABL Priority Collateral granted in the Security Documents (such as Liens or trusts in favor of landlords, warehousemen, carriers, mechanics, materialmen, laborers, or suppliers, or Liens or trusts for ad valorem, excise, sales, or other taxes where given priority under applicable law) in and to such item of the ABL Priority Collateral (including any such Liens in respect of Management Guarantees); provided that (x) with respect to any Availability Reserve (other than any Designated Hedging Reserves or Designated Cash Management Reserves), the Administrative Agent shall have provided the applicable Borrower reasonable advance notice of any such establishment and (y) with respect to any Designated Hedging Reserves or Designated Cash Management Reserves, (i) the Administrative Agent may establish such Designated Hedging Reserves or Designated Cash Management Reserves immediately upon receiving notice in writing from the Borrower Representative pursuant to Subsection 11.22 that a Designated Hedging Reserve or Designated Cash Management Reserve, as applicable, may be established and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall increase, reduce or eliminate the amount of any existing Designated Hedging Reserve or existing Designated Cash Management Reserve immediately upon receiving written notice of any adjustment to the amount of such existing Designated

83

Hedging Reserve or existing Designated Cash Management Reserve from the Borrower Representative pursuant to the last sentence of Subsection 11.22 (provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to establish or increase any Designated Hedging Reserve or Designated Cash Management Reserve if at the time of, and after give effect to, such establishment or increase, Excess Availability would be less than zero); and provided, further, that the Administrative Agent may only establish an Availability Reserve after the Closing Date based on an event, condition or other circumstance arising after the Closing Date or based on facts not known to the Administrative Agent as of the Closing Date. The amount of any such Availability Reserve shall have a reasonable relationship to the event, condition or other matter that is the basis for the Availability Reserve. Upon delivery of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall be available to discuss any proposed Availability Reserve, and the Borrowers may take such action as may be required so that the event, condition or matter that is the basis for such Availability Reserve or increase no longer exists, in a manner and to the extent reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in the exercise of its Permitted Discretion. In no event shall such notice and opportunity limit the right of the Administrative Agent to establish such Availability Reserve, unless the Administrative Agent shall have determined in its Permitted Discretion that the event, condition or other matter that is the basis for such new Availability Reserve no longer exists or has otherwise been adequately addressed by the applicable Borrower. In the event that the event, condition or other matter giving rise to the establishment of any Availability Reserve shall cease to exist (unless there is a reasonable prospect that such event, condition or other matter will occur again within a reasonable period of time thereafter), the Availability Reserve established pursuant to such event, condition or other matter, shall be discontinued. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Availability Reserves shall not duplicate (i) eligibility criteria contained in the definition of “Eligible Accounts”, “Eligible Credit Card Receivables” or “Eligible Inventory” and vice versa, or (ii) reserves or criteria deducted in computing the value of Eligible Inventory (based on cost and quantity) and vice versa.

(c) In the event the Borrowers are unable to comply with (i) the borrowing base limitations set forth in Subsection 2.1(a) or (ii) the conditions precedent to the making of Revolving Credit Loans or the issuance of Letters of Credit set forth in Section 6, the Lenders authorize the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, to make Revolving Credit Loans to the Borrowers, which may only be made as ABR Loans (each, an “Agent Advance”) for a period commencing on the date the Administrative Agent first receives a notice of Borrowing requesting an Agent Advance until the earliest of (i) the 30th Business Day after such date, (ii) the date the respective Borrowers or Borrower is again able to comply with the Borrowing Base limitations and the conditions precedent to the making of Revolving Credit Loans and issuance of Letters of Credit, or obtains an amendment or waiver with respect thereto and (iii) the date the Required Lenders instruct the Administrative Agent to cease making Agent Advances (in each case, the “Agent Advance Period”). The Administrative Agent shall not make any Agent Advance to the extent that at such time the amount of such Agent Advance (A) when added to the aggregate outstanding amount of all other Agent Advances made to the Borrowers at such time, would exceed 10.0% of the Borrowing Base at such time (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered) or (B) when added to the Aggregate Lender Exposure as then in effect (immediately prior to the incurrence of such Agent Advance), would exceed the aggregate Commitments at such time. It is understood and agreed that, subject to the requirements set forth above, Agent Advances may be made by the Administrative Agent in its discretion to the extent

84

the Administrative Agent deems such Agent Advances necessary or desirable (x) to preserve and protect the applicable ABL Priority Collateral, or any portion thereof, (y) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans and other obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents or (z) to pay any other amount chargeable to or required to be paid by the Borrowers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including payments of reimbursable expenses and other sums payable under the Loan Documents, and that the Borrowers shall have no right to require that any Agent Advances be made.

(d) Each Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any Revolving Credit Lender made on or prior to the Closing Date or in connection with any assignment pursuant to Subsection 11.6(b), in order to evidence such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans, such Borrower will execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1 hereto (each, as amended, supplemented, replaced or otherwise modified from time to time, a “Revolving Credit Note”), with appropriate insertions as to payee, date and principal amount, payable to such Lender and in a principal amount equal to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans made by such Revolving Credit Lender to such Borrower. Each Revolving Credit Note shall (i) be dated the Closing Date, (ii) be stated to mature on the Termination Date and (iii) provide for the payment of interest in accordance with Subsection 4.1.

2.2 Procedure for Revolving Credit Borrowing. Each of the Borrowers may borrow under the Commitments on the Closing Date and the Parent Borrower and any Subsidiary Borrower (or any of their permitted successors hereunder) may borrow under the Commitments hereunder on any Business Day after the Closing Date during the Commitment Period, provided that the Borrower Representative shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable (in the case of any notice except notice with respect to the initial Extension of Credit hereunder, which shall be irrevocable after the funding) notice in substantially the form of Exhibit J-1 hereto or in such other form as may be agreed between the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent (each, a “Borrowing Request”) (which Borrowing Request must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to (1) in the case of either Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans to be borrowed on the Closing Date, 12:00 P.M., New York City time (or such later time as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion), one Business Day prior to the Closing Date, and (2) in all other cases, (a) 2:00 P.M., New York City time, at least three Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) prior to the requested Borrowing Date, if all or any part of the requested Revolving Credit Loans are to be initially Eurodollar Loans or (b) 10:00 A.M., New York City time (or such later time as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion), on the requested Borrowing Date, for ABR Loans) specifying (i) the identity of a Borrower, (ii) the amount to be borrowed, (iii) the requested Borrowing Date, (iv) whether the borrowing is to be of Eurodollar Loans, ABR Loans or a combination thereof and (v) if the borrowing is to be entirely or partly of Eurodollar Loans, the respective amounts of each such Type of Loan and the respective lengths of the initial Interest Periods therefor. Each borrowing shall be in an amount equal to (x) in the case of ABR Loans, except any ABR Loan to be used solely to pay a like amount of outstanding Reimbursement Obligations or Swingline Loans, in multiples of $500,000 (or, if the Commitments then available (as calculated in accordance with Subsection 2.1(a)) are less than $500,000, such lesser amount) or a whole multiple of $100,000

85

in excess thereof, and (y) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, $500,000, or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Upon receipt of any such notice from the Borrower Representative the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Revolving Credit Lender thereof. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent specified in Subsection 6.2 (or in the case of the initial Extension of Credit on the Closing Date, Subsection 6.1), each applicable Revolving Credit Lender will make the amount of its pro rata share of each borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower identified in such notice at the office of the Administrative Agent specified in Subsection 11.2 prior to 12:00 P.M. (or 9:00 A.M., in the case of the initial borrowing hereunder), New York City time, or at such other office of the Administrative Agent or at such other time as to which the Administrative Agent shall notify such Borrower reasonably in advance of the Borrowing Date with respect thereto, on the Borrowing Date requested by such Borrower and in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent.

2.3 Termination or Reduction of Commitments. The Borrower Representative (on behalf of itself and each other applicable Borrower) shall have the right, upon not less than three Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) notice to the Administrative Agent (who will promptly notify the Lenders), to terminate the Commitments, or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Commitments; provided that no such termination or reduction shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans made on the effective date thereof, the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans then outstanding, when added to the sum of the then outstanding L/C Obligations, would exceed the Commitments then in effect and provided, further, that any such notice of termination delivered by the Borrower Representative may state that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event specified therein (including the effectiveness of other credit facilities), in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower Representative (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and shall reduce permanently the applicable Commitments then in effect.

2.4 Swingline Commitments. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swingline Lender agrees to make swingline loans (individually, a “Swingline Loan”; collectively, the “Swingline Loans”) to any of the Borrowers from time to time during the Commitment Period in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed $25,000,000; provided that at no time may the sum of the then outstanding Swingline Loans, Revolving Credit Loans and L/C Obligations exceed the lesser of (1) the Commitments then in effect and (2) the Borrowing Base then in effect (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered). Swingline Loans shall be made in minimum amounts of (x) at all times when a Dominion Event is not in existence, $100,000 and (y) at all other times, there will be no minimum amount. Amounts borrowed by any Borrower under this Subsection 2.4 may be repaid and, through but excluding the Termination Date, reborrowed. All Swingline Loans made to any Borrower shall be made in Dollars as ABR Loans, and shall not be entitled to be converted into Eurodollar Loans. The Borrower Representative (on behalf of itself or any other Borrower as the case may be), shall give the Swingline Lender irrevocable notice (which notice must be received by the Swingline Lender prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the requested Borrowing

86

Date) specifying (1) the identity of a Borrower, (2) the amount of the requested Swingline Loan and (3) that the Borrowing is to be of ABR Loans. The proceeds of the Swingline Loans will be made available by the Swingline Lender to the Borrower identified in such notice at an office of the Swingline Lender by crediting the account of such Borrower at such office with such proceeds in Dollars.

(b) Each of the Borrowers agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by the Swingline Lender made on or prior to the Closing Date or in connection with any assignment pursuant to Subsection 11.6(b), in order to evidence the Swingline Loans such Borrower will execute and deliver to the Swingline Lender a promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit A-2 hereto, with appropriate insertions (as the same may be amended, supplemented, replaced or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Swingline Note”), payable to the Swingline Lender and representing the obligation of such Borrower to pay the amount of the Swingline Commitment or, if less, the unpaid principal amount of the Swingline Loans made to such Borrower, with interest thereon as prescribed in Subsection 4.1. The Swingline Note shall (i) be dated the Closing Date, (ii) be stated to mature on the Termination Date and (iii) provide for the payment of interest in accordance with Subsection 4.1.

(c) The Swingline Lender, at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may, and, at any time as there shall be a Swingline Loan outstanding for more than five Business Days, the Swingline Lender shall, on behalf of the Borrower to which the Swingline Loan has been made (which hereby irrevocably directs and authorizes such Swingline Lender to act on its behalf), request (provided that such request shall be deemed to have been automatically made upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Subsection 9.1(f)) each Lender, including the Swingline Lender, to make a Revolving Credit Loan as an ABR Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the principal amount of all Swingline Loans made in Dollars (each, a “Mandatory Revolving Credit Loan Borrowing”) in an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the principal amount of all of the Swingline Loans (collectively, the “Refunded Swingline Loans”) outstanding on the date such notice is given; provided that the provisions of this Subsection 2.4 shall not affect the obligations of any Borrower to prepay Swingline Loans in accordance with the provisions of Subsection 4.4(c). Unless the Commitments shall have expired or terminated (in which event the procedures of clause (d) of this Subsection 2.4 shall apply), each Lender hereby agrees to make the proceeds of its Revolving Credit Loan (including any Eurodollar Loan) available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender at the office of the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 A.M., New York City time, in funds immediately available on the Business Day next succeeding the date such notice is given notwithstanding (i) that the amount of the Mandatory Revolving Credit Loan Borrowing may not comply with the minimum amount for Revolving Credit Loans otherwise required hereunder, (ii) whether any conditions specified in Section 6 are then satisfied, (iii) whether a Default or an Event of Default then exists, (iv) the date of such Mandatory Revolving Credit Loan Borrowing and (v) the amount of the Commitment of such, or any other, Lender at such time. The proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loans (including any Eurodollar Loan) shall be immediately applied to repay the Refunded Swingline Loans.

87

(d) If the Commitments shall expire or terminate at any time while Swingline Loans are outstanding, each Lender shall, at the option of the Swingline Lender, exercised reasonably, either (i) notwithstanding the expiration or termination of the Commitments, make a Loan as an ABR Loan (which Revolving Credit Loan shall be deemed a “Revolving Credit Loan” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents) or (ii) purchase an undivided participating interest in such Swingline Loans, in either case in an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage determined on the date of, and immediately prior to, expiration or termination of the Commitments of the aggregate principal amount of such Swingline Loans; provided that in the event that any Mandatory Revolving Credit Loan Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under any domestic or foreign bankruptcy, reorganization, dissolution, insolvency, receivership, administration or liquidation or similar law with respect to any Borrower), then each Lender hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase (as of the date the Mandatory Revolving Credit Loan Borrowing would otherwise have occurred, but adjusted for any payments received from such Borrower on or after such date and prior to such purchase) from the Swingline Lender such participations in such outstanding Swingline Loans as shall be necessary to cause such Lenders to share in such Swingline Loans ratably based upon their respective Commitment Percentages, provided, further, that (x) all interest payable on the Swingline Loans shall be for the account of the Swingline Lender until the date as of which the respective participation is required to be purchased and, to the extent attributable to the purchased participation, shall be payable to the participant from and after such date and (y) at the time any purchase of participations pursuant to this sentence is actually made, the purchasing Lender shall be required to pay the Swingline Lender interest on the principal amount of the participation purchased for each day from and including the day upon which the Mandatory Revolving Credit Loan Borrowing would otherwise have occurred to but excluding the date of payment for such participation, at the rate otherwise applicable to Revolving Credit Loans made as ABR Loans. Each Lender will make the proceeds of any Revolving Credit Loan made pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender at the office of the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 A.M., New York City time, in Dollars in funds immediately available on the Business Day next succeeding the date on which the Commitments expire or terminate. The proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loans shall be immediately applied to repay the Swingline Loans outstanding on the date of termination or expiration of the Commitments. In the event that the Lenders purchase undivided participating interests pursuant to the first sentence of this clause (d), each Lender shall immediately transfer to the Swingline Lender, in Dollars in immediately available funds, the amount of its participation and upon receipt thereof the Swingline Lender will deliver to such Lender a Swingline Loan Participation Certificate dated the date of receipt of such funds and in such amount.

(e) Whenever, at any time after the Swingline Lender has received from any Lender such Lender’s participating interest in a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account thereof (whether directly from a Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Collateral applied thereto by the Swingline Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Swingline Lender will, if such payment is received prior to 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on a Business Day, distribute to such Lender its pro rata share thereof prior to the end of such Business Day and otherwise, the Swingline Lender will distribute such payment on the next succeeding Business Day (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Swingline Lender is required to be returned, such Lender will return to the Swingline Lender any portion thereof previously distributed by the Swingline Lender to it.

88

(f) Each Lender’s obligation to make the Revolving Credit Loans and to purchase participating interests with respect to Swingline Loans in accordance with Subsections 2.4(c) and 2.4(d) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender or any of the Borrowers may have against the Swingline Lender, any of the Borrowers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default; (iii) any adverse change in condition (financial or otherwise) of any of the Borrowers; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any of the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or any other Lender; (v) any inability of any of the Borrowers to satisfy the conditions precedent to borrowing set forth in this Agreement on the date upon which such Revolving Credit Loan is to be made or participating interest is to be purchased or (vi) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

2.5 Repayment of Loans. (a) Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars for the account of: (i) each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan of such Lender made to such Borrower, on the Termination Date (or such earlier date on which the Revolving Credit Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 9); and (ii) the Swingline Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of the Swingline Loans made to such Borrower, on the Termination Date (or such earlier date on which the Swingline Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 9). Each Borrower hereby further agrees to pay interest (which payments shall be in Dollars) on the unpaid principal amount of such Loans from time to time outstanding from the date hereof until payment in full thereof at the rates per annum, and on the dates, set forth in Subsection 4.1.

(b) Each Lender (including the Swingline Lender) shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of each of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to Subsection 11.6(b), and a subaccount therein for each Lender, in which shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof, the Borrowers to which such Loan is made, each Interest Period, if any, applicable thereto and whether such Loans are Revolving Credit Loans or Swingline Loans, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each of the Borrowers to each applicable Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from each of the Borrowers and each applicable Lender’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender maintained pursuant to Subsection 2.5(c) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of each of the Borrowers therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of any Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to such Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

2.6 Incremental Facility. (a) So long as no Specified Default exists or would arise therefrom, the Borrower Representative shall have the right, at any time and from time to time after the Closing Date (i) to increase the existing Commitments by requesting new Commitments to be added to an Existing Tranche of existing Commitments (the “Supplemental Commitments”), (ii) to request new Commitments under one or more new revolving facilities to be included in this Agreement (the “Incremental Revolving Commitments”) or (iii) one or more term loans (the “Incremental ABL Term Loans” and together with the Supplemental Commitments and Incremental Revolving Commitments, collectively, the “Incremental Facilities” and each, an “Incremental Facility”). Notwithstanding anything to contrary herein, the principal amount of any Incremental Facility at the time such Incremental Facility becomes effective shall not exceed the Available Incremental Amount at such time. The Borrower Representative may seek to obtain Incremental Facilities from existing Lenders or other Persons, as applicable (each an “Incremental Facility Increase,” and each Person extending, or Lender extending, Incremental Facilities, an “Additional Lender”), provided, however, that (i) no Lender shall be obligated to provide an Incremental Facility Increase as a result of any such request by the Borrower Representative and (ii) any Additional Lender that is not an existing Lender shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any Incremental Revolving Commitments or Supplemental Commitments, the Swingline Lender and the Borrowers (each such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Each Incremental Facility Increase shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of at least $15,000,000 and in integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof. Any Incremental Facility Increase may be denominated in Dollars.

(b) (i) Any Incremental ABL Term Loans (A) may not be guaranteed by any Subsidiaries of the Parent Borrower other than the Guarantors and shall rank pari passu (or, at the option of the Borrower Representative, junior) in right of (x) priority with respect to the Collateral and (y) payment with respect to the Obligations in respect of the Commitments and any existing Incremental ABL Term Loans, (B) shall be part of, and count against, the Borrowing Base, (C) shall not have a final maturity that is earlier than the Termination Date, (D) shall not amortize at a rate greater than 1.0% per annum, (E) for purposes of prepayments, shall be treated no more favorably than the Loans, (F) may not be secured by any Collateral or other assets of any Loan Party that do not also secure the Loans and (G) shall otherwise be on terms as are reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(ii) Any Supplemental Commitments (A) shall be guaranteed by the Guarantors and shall rank pari passu in right of (x) priority with respect to the Collateral and (y) payment with respect to the Obligations in respect of the Commitments in effect prior to the Incremental Commitment Effective Date and any existing Incremental ABL Term Loans and (B) shall be on terms and pursuant to the documentation applicable to the Tranche of the existing Commitments that they are increasing; provided that the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate and Applicable Margin relating to the Supplemental Commitments may exceed the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate and Applicable Margin relating to the Tranche

90

of existing Commitments that they are increasing in effect prior to the Incremental Commitment Effective Date so long as the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate and Applicable Margins relating to all Revolving Credit Loans of such Tranche shall be adjusted to be equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate and Applicable Margin payable to the Lenders providing such Supplemental Commitments.

(iii) Any Incremental Revolving Commitments (A) may not be guaranteed by any Subsidiaries of the Parent Borrower other than the Guarantors and shall rank pari passu (or, at the option of the Borrower Representative, junior) in right of (x) priority with respect to the Collateral and (y) payment with respect to the Obligations in respect of the Commitments and any existing Incremental ABL Term Loans, (B) shall not have a final maturity that is earlier than the Termination Date, (C) for purposes of prepayments, shall be treated no more favorably than the Loans, (D) may not be secured by any Collateral or other assets of any Loan Party that do not also secure the Loans, (E) shall have interest rate margins and commitment fees determined by the Borrower Representative and the applicable Additional Lenders (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not require any adjustment to the Applicable Margin of other Loans pursuant to clause (ii) above) and (F) shall otherwise be on terms as are reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(iv) The Incremental Facilities may be in the form of a separate “first-in, last-out” tranche (the “FILO Tranche”) with a separate borrowing base against the ABL Priority Collateral and interest rate margins in each case to be agreed upon (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not require any adjustment to the Applicable Margin of other Loans pursuant to clause (ii) above) among the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders providing the FILO Tranche so long as (1) any loans under the FILO Tranche may not be guaranteed by any Subsidiaries of the Parent Borrower other than the Guarantors and shall rank pari passu (or, at the option of the Borrower Representative, junior) in right of priority with respect to the Collateral; (2) if availability under the FILO Tranche exceeds $0, any Extension of Credit under the Revolving Credit Facility thereafter requested shall be made under the FILO Tranche until the FILO Tranche availability no longer exceeds $0; (3) as between (x) the Revolving Credit Facility (other than the FILO Tranche), the Incremental ABL Term Loans (unless otherwise agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent and any Additional ABL Agent) and the Designated Hedging Agreements and Designated Cash Management Agreements and (y) the FILO Tranche, all proceeds from the liquidation or other realization of the Collateral (including ABL Priority Collateral) shall be applied, first to obligations owing under, or with respect to, the Revolving Credit Facility (other than the FILO Tranche), the Incremental ABL Term Loans (unless otherwise agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent and any Additional ABL Agent) and such Designated Hedging Agreements and Designated Cash Management Agreements and second to the FILO Tranche; (4) no Borrower may prepay Revolving Credit Loans under the FILO Tranche or terminate or reduce the commitments in respect thereof at any time that other Loans and/or Reimbursement Obligations (unless cash collateralized or otherwise

91

provided for in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) or Incremental ABL Term Loans (unless otherwise agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent and any Additional ABL Agent) are outstanding; (5) the Required Lenders (calculated as including Lenders under the Incremental Facilities and the FILO Tranche) shall, subject to the terms of the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement, control exercise of remedies in respect of the Collateral and (6) no changes affecting the priority status of the Revolving Credit Facility (other than the FILO Tranche) or the Incremental ABL Term Loans (unless otherwise agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent and any Additional ABL Agent) vis-à-vis the FILO Tranche may be made without the consent of each affected Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility (including Lenders under the Incremental Facilities and the FILO tranche), other than such changes which affect only the FILO Tranche, or only the Incremental ABL Term Loans, as the case may be.

(c) No Incremental Facility Increase shall become effective unless and until each of the following conditions have been satisfied:

(i) The Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent, and any Additional Lender shall have executed and delivered a joinder to the Loan Documents (“Lender Joinder Agreement”) in substantially the form of Exhibit L hereto or in such other form as may be appropriate in the opinion of the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent;

(ii) The Borrowers shall have paid such fees and other compensation to the Additional Lenders as the Borrower Representative and such Additional Lenders shall agree;

(iii) The Borrower Representative shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders an opinion or opinions, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent from counsel to the Borrower Representative reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and dated such date;

(iv) A Revolving Credit Note (to the extent requested) will be issued at the applicable Borrowers’ expense, to each such Additional Lender, to be in conformity with requirements of Subsection 2.1(d) (with appropriate modification) to the extent necessary to reflect the new Commitment of each Additional Lender;

(v) The Borrower Representative shall deliver a certificate certifying that (A) (x) in the case of a Limited Condition Transaction, the Specified Representations or (y) in all other cases, the representations and warranties made by the Parent Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries contained herein and in the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Incremental Facility Closing Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, and (B) no Specified Default has occurred and is continuing; and

92

(vi) The applicable Borrowers and Additional Lenders shall have delivered such other instruments, documents and agreements as the Administrative Agent may reasonably have requested in order to effectuate the documentation of the foregoing.

(d) (i) In the case of any Incremental Facility Increase constituting Supplemental Commitments or Incremental Revolving Commitments, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of such Incremental Facility Increase (with each date of such effectiveness being referred to herein as an “Incremental Commitment Effective Date”), and at such time (i) the Commitments under, and for all purposes of, this Agreement shall be increased by the aggregate amount of such Supplemental Commitments or Incremental Revolving Commitments, (ii) Schedule A shall be deemed modified, without further action, to reflect the revised Commitments and Commitment Percentages of the Lenders and (iii) this Agreement shall be deemed amended, without further action, to the extent necessary to reflect any such Incremental Revolving Commitments.

(ii) In the case of any Incremental Facility Increase, the Administrative Agent, the Additional Lenders and the Borrowers agree to enter into any amendment required to incorporate the addition of the Incremental Facilities, the pricing of the Incremental Facilities, the maturity date of the Incremental Facilities and such other amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers in connection therewith. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into such amendments.

(e) In connection with the Incremental Facility Increases constituting Supplemental Commitments, the Lenders and the Borrowers agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) the applicable Borrowers shall, in coordination with the Administrative Agent, (x) repay applicable outstanding Revolving Credit Loans under the applicable Tranche of certain Lenders, and obtain applicable Revolving Credit Loans under the applicable Tranche from certain other Lenders (including the Additional Lenders), or (y) take such other actions as reasonably may be required by the Administrative Agent to the extent necessary so that the Lenders effectively participate in each of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans under the applicable Tranche, as applicable, pro rata on the basis of their Commitment Percentages (determined after giving effect to any increase in the Commitments pursuant to this Subsection 2.6), and (ii) the applicable Borrowers shall pay to the Lenders any costs of the type referred to in Subsection 4.12 in connection with any repayment and/or Revolving Credit Loans required pursuant to the preceding clause (i). Without limiting the obligations of the Borrowers provided for in this Subsection 2.6, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree that they will use commercially reasonable efforts to attempt to minimize the costs of the type referred to in Subsection 4.12 which the Borrowers would otherwise incur in connection with the implementation of an increase in the Commitments.

93

2.7 Refinancing Amendments. (a) So long as no Specified Default exists or would arise therefrom, at any time after the Closing Date, the Borrowers may obtain, from any Lender, any Additional Lender or any other Person, Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of the Facility (which for purposes of this clause (a) will be deemed to include any then outstanding (w) Other ABL Term Loans, (x) Incremental ABL Term Loans, (y) Other Revolving Credit Loans and (z) Loans provided against the Supplemental Commitments and Incremental Revolving Commitments, but will exclude the commitments in respect of the FILO Tranche unless (1) the Loans comprising the FILO Tranche are the only Loans outstanding and (2) the Commitments for the Revolving Credit Facility (excluding the FILO Tranche) have been terminated) in the form of (i) one or more Other ABL Term Loans or Other ABL Term Commitments, (ii) one or more Other Revolving Credit Loans or Other Revolving Credit Commitments, or (iii) in the case of the FILO Tranche, a new “first-in, last-out” tranche, as the case may be, in each case pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment; provided that any Person (other than an existing Lender or an Additional Lender) providing such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and, in the case of any Other Revolving Credit Loans or Other Revolving Credit Commitments, the Swingline Lender and the Borrowers (each such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Each Tranche of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred under this Subsection 2.7 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (x) not less than $10,000,000 in the case of Other ABL Term Loans or Other Revolving Credit Loans and (y) an integral multiple of $5,000,000 in excess thereof.

(b) The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Subsection 6.2(a) and 6.2(b) and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of legal opinions, board resolutions, officers’ certificates and/or reaffirmation agreements substantially consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under Subsection 6.1 (other than changes to such legal opinions resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion). Any Refinancing Amendment may provide for the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of any Borrower, or the provision to the Borrowers of Swingline Loans, pursuant to any Other Revolving Credit Commitments established thereby, in each case on terms substantially equivalent to the terms applicable to Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans under the Commitments.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Loans and Commitments subject thereto as Other ABL Term Loans, Other Revolving Credit Loans, Other Revolving Credit Commitments and/or Other ABL Term Commitments). The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any Refinancing Amendment to effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative, to effect the provisions of this Subsection 2.7. In addition, if so provided in the relevant Refinancing Amendment and with the consent of each Issuing Lender, participations in Letters of Credit

94

expiring on or after the Termination Date shall be partially or entirely reallocated from Lenders holding Commitments to Lenders holding extended revolving commitments in accordance with the terms of such Refinancing Amendment; provided, however, that such participation interests shall, upon receipt thereof by the relevant Lenders holding Commitments, be deemed to be participation interests in respect of such Commitments and the terms of such participation interests (including the commission applicable thereto) shall be adjusted accordingly.

2.8 Extension of Commitments. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrower Representative to all Revolving Credit Lenders of Commitments with a like maturity date, or all lenders with ABL Term Loans with a like maturity date, in each case on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the applicable Commitments or ABL Term Loans, as applicable) and on the same terms to each such Lender, the Borrowers are hereby permitted to consummate from time to time transactions with individual Lenders that accept the terms contained in such Extension Offers to extend the maturity date of each such Lender’s Commitments or ABL Term Loans, as applicable, and otherwise modify the terms of such Commitments or ABL Term Loans pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer (including by increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of, or changing the amortization or prepayment provisions of, such Commitments (and related outstandings) or ABL Term Loans) (each, an “Extension”, and each group of Commitments or ABL Term Loans, as applicable, as so extended, as well as the original Commitments or ABL Term Loans (not so extended), as applicable, being a “tranche”; any Extended Revolving Commitments shall constitute a separate tranche of Commitments from the tranche of Commitments from which they were converted and any Extended ABL Term Loans shall constitute a separate tranche of ABL Term Loans from the tranche of ABL Term Loans from which they were converted), so long as the following terms are satisfied: (i) except as to interest rates, fees, final maturity, amortization and prepayment provisions (which shall be determined by the Borrower Representative and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), (x) the Commitment of any Revolving Credit Lender that agrees to an extension with respect to such Commitment (an “Extending Revolving Credit Lender”) extended pursuant to an Extension (an “Extended Revolving Commitment”), and the related outstandings, shall be a Commitment (or related outstandings, as the case may be) with the same terms as the original Commitments (and related outstandings) and (y) the ABL Term Loans of any Lender that agrees to an extension with respect to such ABL Term Loans (an “Extending ABL Term Lender” and together with any Extending Revolving Credit Lender, if any, collectively, “Extending Lenders”) pursuant to an Extension (“Extended ABL Term Loans”) shall have the same terms as the original ABL Term Loans; provided that (x) subject to the provisions of Section 3 and Subsection 2.4 to the extent dealing with Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans which mature or expire after a maturity date when there exist Extended Revolving Commitments with a longer maturity date, all Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans shall be participated in on a pro rata basis by all Lenders with Commitments in accordance with their Commitment Percentage of the Commitments and all borrowings under Commitments and repayments thereunder shall be made on a pro rata basis (except for (A) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Extended Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings) and (B) repayments required upon the maturity date of the non-extending Commitments) and (y) at no time shall there be Commitments hereunder (including Extended Revolving Commitments and any original Commitments) which have more than two different maturity dates, unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative (including agreements as to additional administrative fees to be paid by the Borrowers), and (ii) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by the Borrowers.

95

(b) With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Borrowers pursuant to this Subsection 2.8, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute optional or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Subsection 4.4 and (ii) no Extension Offer is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment, provided that the Borrower Representative may at its election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Extension Condition”) to consummating any such Extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Offer in the Borrower Representative’s sole discretion and which may be waived by the Borrower Representative) of Commitments or ABL Term Loans, as applicable, of any or all applicable Tranches be extended. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this Subsection 2.8 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Revolving Commitments or Extended ABL Term Loans, as applicable, on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including Subsections 4.4 and 4.8) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Subsection 2.8.

(c) No consent of any Lender or the Administrative Agent shall be required to effectuate any Extension, other than (A) the consent of each Lender agreeing to such Extension with respect to its Commitments or ABL Term Loans (or a portion thereof) and (B) with respect to any Extension of the Commitments, the consent of each Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. All Extended Revolving Commitments and Extended ABL Term Loans and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with all other applicable Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Borrowers as may be necessary in order to establish new tranches or sub-tranches in respect of Commitments or ABL Term Loans so extended, permit the repayment of non-extending Loans on the Termination Date and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative in connection therewith, in each case on terms consistent with this Subsection 2.8.

(d) In connection with any Extension, the Borrower Representative shall provide the Administrative Agent at least five Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures (including regarding timing, rounding and other adjustments and to ensure reasonable administrative management of the credit facilities hereunder after such Extension), if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Subsection 2.8.

96

(e) Following any Extension, with the consent of the Borrower Representative, any Non-Extending Lender may elect to have all or a portion of its existing Commitments or ABL Term Loans deemed to be an Extended Revolving Commitment or Extended ABL Term Loan, as applicable under the applicable extended tranche on any date (each date a “Designation Date”) prior to the maturity date or termination date, as applicable, of such extended tranche; provided that (i) such Lender shall have provided written notice to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent at least 10 Business Days prior to such Designation Date (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion) and (ii) no more than three Designation Dates may occur in any one-year period without the written consent of the Administrative Agent. Following a Designation Date, the existing Commitments or ABL Term Loans, as applicable, held by such Lender so elected to be extended will be deemed to be an Extended Revolving Commitment or Extended ABL Term Loan, as applicable, and any existing Commitments or ABL Term Loans, as applicable, held by such Lender not elected to be extended, if any, shall continue to be existing Commitments or ABL Term Loans, as applicable.

2.9 Canadian Facility. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth in Schedule 2.9 hereto, each Lender severally agrees, as part of and as a sub-facility under, its Commitment hereunder (but without increasing such Commitment), to make available hereunder (directly or through a lending affiliate of such Lender) to the Canadian Borrowers, at any time and from time to time on or after the Canadian Facility Effective Date and prior to the Termination Date, its pro rata share of the Canadian Facility. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into an amendment to, or amend and restate, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to make such amendments as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative, to effect the provisions of this Subsection 2.9 and Schedule 2.9 hereto (such amendment or amendment and restatement, the “Canadian Facility Amendment”). The Canadian Facility shall be available to the Canadian Borrowers and shall be available to be drawn in Dollars or Canadian Dollars, with certain operational and administrative borrowing procedures as reasonably requested by the Canadian Agent, including, for the avoidance of doubt, at least three Business Days’ notice (or, if agreed to by all Lenders, such shorter notice) for any such borrowings in Canadian Dollars. Any extensions of credit under the Canadian Facility will reduce availability under the Facility on a dollar-for-dollar basis.

SECTION 3

Letters of Credit

3.1 L/C Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Revolving Credit Lenders set forth in Subsection 3.4(a), agrees to issue letters of credit (the letters of credit issued on and after the Closing Date pursuant to this Section 3, collectively, the “Letters of Credit”) for the account of the applicable Borrower or (if required by the applicable Issuing Lender, so long as a Borrower is a co-applicant and jointly and severally liable thereunder) any Restricted Subsidiary on any Business Day during the Commitment Period but in no event later than the fifth day prior to the Termination Date in such form as may be approved from time to time by the Issuing Lender; provided that no Letter of Credit shall be issued if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the aggregate Extensions of Credit to the Borrowers would exceed the applicable limitations set forth in Subsection 2.1, (ii) the L/C Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit would exceed $200,000,000 or (iii) the Aggregate Outstanding Credit of all the Revolving Credit Lenders

97

would exceed the Commitments of all the Revolving Credit Lenders then in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Issuing Lender shall be required to (but it may in its sole discretion) issue any Letter of Credit if the aggregate maximum amount of all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender would exceed its L/C Commitment.

(b) Each Letter of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars and shall be either (i) a standby letter of credit issued to support obligations of the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, contingent or otherwise, which finance or otherwise arise in connection with the working capital and business needs of the Parent Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries, and for general corporate purposes, of the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or (ii) a commercial letter of credit in respect of the purchase of goods or services by the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, and unless otherwise agreed by the applicable Issuing Lender and, in the case of clause (B) below, the Administrative Agent, expire no later than the earlier of (A) one year after its date of issuance and (B) the fifth Business Day prior to the Termination Date; provided that, notwithstanding any extension of the Termination Date pursuant to Subsection 2.8, unless otherwise agreed, no Issuing Lender shall be obligated to issue a Letter of Credit that expires beyond the non-extended Termination Date; provided further, that Barclays Bank PLC, Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, Royal Bank of Canada, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Bank USA and Nomura Corporate Funding Americas, LLC, each in their capacity as Issuing Lender, shall not be obligated to issue commercial letters of credit.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Subsection 3.1(b), if the Borrower Representative so requests in any L/C Request, the applicable Issuing Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension L/C”); provided that any such Auto-Extension L/C must permit the applicable Issuing Lender to prevent any such extension at least once in each 12-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day in each such 12-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the applicable Issuing Lender, the applicable Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to such Issuing Lender for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension L/C has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable Issuing Lender to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an extended expiry date not later than the earlier of (i) one year from the date of such extension and (ii) the fifth Business Day prior to the Termination Date; provided that such Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to permit any such extension if (x) such Issuing Lender has determined that it would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its extended form under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Subsection 3.2(c) or otherwise), or (y) it has received notice on or before the day that is two Business Days before the date which has been agreed upon pursuant to the proviso of the first sentence of this clause (c), (1) from the Administrative Agent that any Lender directly affected thereby has elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 6 are not then satisfied, or that the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate Subsection 3.1.

98

(d) Each Letter of Credit issued by an Issuing Lender shall be deemed to constitute a utilization of the Commitments, and shall be participated in (as more fully described in the following Subsection 3.4) by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages. All Letters of Credit issued hereunder shall be issued for the account of the applicable Borrower or (if required by the applicable Issuing Lender, so long as a Borrower is a co-applicant and jointly and severally liable thereunder) any Subsidiary.

(e) Unless otherwise agreed by the applicable Issuing Lender and the Borrower Representative, each Letter of Credit shall be governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, and to the extent not prohibited by such laws, the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit and the Uniform Customs shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit. The ISP shall not in any event apply to this Agreement.

3.2 Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit. (a) The Borrower Representative may, from time to time during the Commitment Period but in no event later than the 30th day prior to the Termination Date, request that an Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to such Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent at its address for notices specified herein, an L/C Request therefor in the form of Exhibit J-2 hereto (completed to the reasonable satisfaction of such Issuing Lender), and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as such Issuing Lender may reasonably request. Upon receipt of any L/C Request, such Issuing Lender will process such L/C Request and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall an Issuing Lender be required, unless otherwise agreed to by such Issuing Lender, to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than five Business Days after its receipt of the L/C Request therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed by such Issuing Lender and the Borrower Representative. The applicable Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Borrower Representative promptly following the issuance thereof. Upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit or amendment, renewal, extension or modification to a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, who shall promptly notify each Lender, thereof, which notice shall specify the amount of such Lender’s respective participation in such Letter of Credit pursuant to Subsection 3.4. If the applicable Issuing Lender is not the same person as the Administrative Agent, on the first Business Day of each calendar month, such Issuing Lender shall provide to the Administrative Agent a report listing all outstanding Letters of Credit and the amounts thereof and the Administrative Agent shall promptly provide such report to each Lender.

(b) The making of each request for a Letter of Credit by the Borrower Representative shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Borrower Representative that such Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance with, and will not violate the requirements of, Subsection 3.1. Unless the respective Issuing Lender has received notice from the Required Lenders before it issues a Letter of Credit that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 6 are not then satisfied, or that the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate Subsection 3.1, then such Issuing Lender may issue the requested Letter of Credit for the account of the applicable Borrower or Subsidiary in accordance with such Issuing Lender’s usual and customary practices.

99

(c) No Issuing Lender shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if

(i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Lender from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Requirement of Law applicable to such Issuing Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any banking regulatory authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Lender shall prohibit the issuance of letters of credit generally, or

(ii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuing Lender consistently applied by such Issuing Lender to borrowers generally.

3.3 Fees, Commissions and Other Charges. (a) Each Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent a letter of credit commission with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender on its behalf, computed for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit through and including to the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect for Eurodollar Loans that are Revolving Credit Loans calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date with respect to such Letter of Credit and on the Termination Date or such earlier date as the Commitments shall terminate as provided herein. Such commission shall be payable to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Revolving Credit Lenders to be shared ratably among them in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages. Each Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Issuing Lender with respect to each Letter of Credit a fee equal to 0.125% per annum of the maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (or such other amounts as may be agreed by such Borrower and such Issuing Lender) calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date with respect to such Letter of Credit and on the Termination Date or such earlier date as the Commitments shall terminate as provided herein. Such commissions and fees shall be nonrefundable. Such fees and commissions shall be payable in Dollars.

(b) In addition to the foregoing commissions and fees, each Borrower agrees to pay directly to the applicable Issuing Lender amounts necessary to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by such Issuing Lender in issuing, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender within 10 days after demand therefor.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall, promptly following any receipt thereof, distribute to the applicable Lenders all commissions and fees received by the Administrative Agent for their respective accounts pursuant to this Subsection 3.3.

3.4 L/C Participations. (a) By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Lender or the Lenders, each Issuing Lender hereby irrevocably grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Lender, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, or expiration, termination or cash collateralization of any Letter of Credit and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. All calculations of the Lenders’ Commitment Percentages shall be made from time to time by the Administrative Agent, which calculations shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(b) If the Borrowers fail to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender on the due date as provided in Subsection 3.5, such Issuing Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable L/C Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrowers in respect thereof and such Lender’s Commitment Percentage thereof. Each Lender shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 P.M., New York City time, on such date (or, if such Lender shall have received such notice later than 12:00 P.M., New York City time, on any day, not later than 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the next succeeding Business Day), the amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the unreimbursed L/C Disbursement in the same manner as provided in Subsection 2.2 with respect to Loans made by such Lender, and the Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Lender any amounts received by it from the Borrowers pursuant to the above clause (a) prior to the time that any Lender makes any payment pursuant to the preceding sentence and any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers thereafter will be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lender that shall have made such payments and to such Issuing Lender, as appropriate.

(c) If any Lender shall not have made its Commitment Percentage of such L/C Disbursement available to the Administrative Agent as provided above, each of such Lender and each Borrower severally agrees to pay interest on such amount, for each day from and including the date such amount is required to be paid in accordance with the foregoing to but excluding the date such amount is paid, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Lender at (i) in the case of Borrower, the rate per annum set forth in Subsection 3.5(b) and (ii) in the case of such Lender, at a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules or practices on interbank compensation.

3.5 Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrowers. (a) Each Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower Representative of any compliant presentation of documents under any Letter of Credit. Each Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse each Issuing Lender, upon receipt by the Borrower Representative of notice from the applicable Issuing Lender of the date and the amount of a drawing presented under any Letter of Credit issued on its behalf and

101

paid by such Issuing Lender (an “L/C Disbursement”), for the amount of such drawing so paid and any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses reasonably incurred by such Issuing Lender in connection with such payment. Each such payment shall be made to the applicable Issuing Lender, at its address for notices specified herein, in Dollars in immediately available funds, no later than 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the date which is one Business Day (or, if the Facility is fully drawn on such date and the applicable Borrower does not have sufficient cash on hand to make such payment, two Business Days) after the date on which the Borrower Representative receives such notice, if received prior to 11:00 A.M., New York City Time, on a Business Day and otherwise, no later than 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the next succeeding Business Day; provided that the Borrowers may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Subsection 2.2 that such payment be financed with ABR Loans or Swingline Loans in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrowers’ obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Loans or Swingline Loans.

(b) Interest shall be payable on any and all amounts remaining unpaid by the Borrowers under this Subsection 3.5(b) from the date the drawing presented under the affected Letter of Credit is paid to the date on which the applicable Borrower is required to pay such amounts pursuant to clause (a) above at the rate which would then be payable on any outstanding ABR Loans that are Revolving Credit Loans and thereafter until payment in full at the rate which would be payable on any outstanding ABR Loans that are Revolving Credit Loans which were then overdue.

3.6 Obligations Absolute. The Reimbursement Obligations of Borrowers as provided in Subsection 3.5 shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein; (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit being proved to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (iii) payment by any Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that fails to comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 3, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the obligations of Borrower hereunder; (v) the fact that a Default shall have occurred and be continuing; or (vi) any material adverse change in the business, property, results of operations, prospects or condition, financial or otherwise, of the Parent Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries. None of the Agents, the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders or any of their affiliates shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Lenders; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Lender from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby

102

waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law) suffered by the Borrowers that are caused by such Issuing Lender’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the applicable Issuing Lender (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Lender may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

3.7 L/C Disbursements. The applicable Issuing Lender shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Lender shall promptly give written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative of such demand for payment and if such Issuing Lender has made or will make an L/C Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve Borrower of its Reimbursement Obligation to such Issuing Lender and the Lenders with respect to any such L/C Disbursement (other than with respect to the timing of such Reimbursement Obligation set forth in Subsection 3.5).

3.8 L/C Request. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any L/C Request or other application or agreement submitted by any Borrower or any Subsidiary, to, or entered into by any Borrower or any Subsidiary with, any Issuing Lender relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

3.9 Cash Collateralization. If the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, the Borrowers shall then deposit on terms and in accounts satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Collateral Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the L/C Obligations as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon. Funds so deposited shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender for L/C Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be applied to satisfy other Obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement.

3.10 Additional Issuing Lenders. The Borrower Representative may, at any time and from time to time with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and such Lender, designate one or more additional Lenders to act as an issuing lender under the terms of this Agreement. Any Lender designated as an issuing lender pursuant to this Subsection 3.10 shall be deemed to be an “Issuing Lender” (in addition to being a Lender) in respect of Letters of Credit issued or to be issued by such Lender, and, with respect to such Letters of Credit, such term shall thereafter apply to the other Issuing Lender or Issuing Lenders and such Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such additional Issuing Lender. If at any time there is more than one Issuing Lender hereunder, the Borrower Representative may, in its discretion, select which Issuing Lender is to issue any particular Letter of Credit.

103

3.11 Resignation or Removal of the Issuing Lender. Any Issuing Lender may resign as Issuing Lender hereunder at any time upon at least 30 days’ prior notice to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative. Any Issuing Lender may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower Representative, each Agent, the replaced Issuing Lender and the successor Issuing Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such resignation or replacement of an Issuing Lender. At the time any such resignation of an Issuing Lender shall become effective, the Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the retiring Issuing Lender pursuant to Subsection 3.3. From and after the effective date of any such resignation or replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued by it thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Lender, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Lenders, as the context requires. After the resignation or replacement of an Issuing Lender, the retiring or replaced Issuing Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation or replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

4.2 Conversion and Continuation Options. (a) Subject to its obligations pursuant to Subsection 4.12(c), the applicable Borrowers may elect from time to time to convert outstanding Revolving Credit Loans from Eurodollar Loans to ABR Loans by the Borrower Representative giving the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice of such election prior to 2:00 P.M., New York City time two Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) prior to such election. The Borrower Representative may elect from time to time to convert outstanding Revolving Credit Loans from ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans by the Borrower Representative giving the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice of such election prior to 2:00 P.M., New York City time at least three Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) prior to such election. Any such notice of conversion to Eurodollar Loans shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period or Interest Periods therefor. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected Lender thereof. All or any part of outstanding Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans may be converted as provided herein, provided that (i) (unless the Required Lenders otherwise consent) no Loan may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and, in the case of any Default (other than any Default under Subsection 9.1(f)), the Administrative Agent has given notice to the Borrower Representative that no such conversions may be made and (ii) no Loan may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan after the date that is one month prior to the applicable Termination Date.

Upon receipt of any such notice of continuation pursuant to this Subsection 4.2(b), the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected Lender thereof.

105

4.3 Minimum Amounts; Maximum Sets. All borrowings, conversions and continuations of Loans hereunder and all selections of Interest Periods hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans comprising each Set shall be equal to $500,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof and so that there shall not be more than 10 Sets at any one time outstanding.

4.4 Optional and Mandatory Prepayments. (a) Each of the Borrowers may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans made to it and the Reimbursement Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit issued for its account, in whole or in part, subject to Subsection 4.12, without premium or penalty but including, for the avoidance of doubt, accrued interest, upon notice by the Borrower Representative to the Administrative Agent prior to 2:00 P.M., New York City time at least three Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) prior to the date of prepayment (in the case of Eurodollar Loans) or prior to 2:00 P.M., New York City time (or such later time as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) on the date of prepayment (in the case of (x) ABR Loans, (y) Swingline Loans and (z) Reimbursement Obligations outstanding in Dollars). Such notice shall be irrevocable except as provided in Subsection 4.4(g). Such notice shall specify, in the case of any prepayment of Loans, the identity of the prepaying Borrower, the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is (i) of Revolving Credit Loans or Swingline Loans, or a combination thereof, and (ii) of Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans, or a combination thereof, and, in each case if a combination thereof, the principal amount allocable to each and, in the case of any prepayment of Reimbursement Obligations, the date and amount of prepayment, the identity of the applicable Letter of Credit or Letters of Credit and the amount allocable to each of such Reimbursement Obligations. Upon the receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall (subject to Subsection 4.4(g)) be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with (if a Eurodollar Loan is prepaid other than at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto) any amounts payable pursuant to Subsection 4.12, the Revolving Credit Loans and the Reimbursement Obligations pursuant to this Section and shall (unless the Borrower Representative otherwise directs) be applied, first, to payment of the Swingline Loans then outstanding, second, to payment of the Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding, third, to payment of any Reimbursement Obligations then outstanding, and last, to cash collateralize any outstanding L/C Obligation on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Partial prepayments pursuant to this Subsection 4.4(a) shall be in multiples of $250,000, as applicable; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Loan may be prepaid in its entirety.

(b) On any day (other than during an Agent Advance Period) on which the Aggregate Lender Exposure or the unpaid balance of Extensions of Credit to, or for the account of, the Borrowers exceeds the Borrowing Base (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered) or the aggregate Commitments at such time, the Borrowers shall prepay on such day the principal of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans in an amount equal to such excess. If, after giving effect to the prepayment of all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, the aggregate amount

106

of the L/C Obligations exceeds the Borrowing Base at such time (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered), the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent on such day an amount of cash and/or Cash Equivalents equal to the amount of such excess (up to a maximum amount equal to such L/C Obligations at such time), such cash and/or Cash Equivalents to be held as security for all obligations of the Borrowers to the Issuing Lenders and the Revolving Credit Lenders hereunder in a cash collateral account to be established by, and under the sole dominion and control of, the Administrative Agent.

(c) The Borrowers shall prepay all Swingline Loans then outstanding simultaneously with each borrowing by them of Revolving Credit Loans.

(d) Prepayments pursuant to Subsection 4.4(b) shall be applied, first, to prepay Swingline Loans then outstanding, second, to prepay Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding, third, to pay any Reimbursement Obligations then outstanding, and last, to cash collateralize all L/C Obligations on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) For avoidance of doubt, the Commitments shall not be correspondingly reduced by the amount of any prepayments of Revolving Credit Loans, payments of Reimbursement Obligations and cash collateralizations of L/C Obligations, in each case, made under Subsection 4.4(b).

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Subsection 4.4, if at any time any prepayment of the Loans pursuant to Subsection 4.4(a) or 4.4(b) would result, after giving effect to the procedures set forth in this Agreement, in any Borrower incurring breakage costs under Subsection 4.12 as a result of Eurodollar Loans being prepaid other than on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, then, the relevant Borrower may, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in its sole discretion, initially (i) deposit a portion (up to 100.0%) of the amounts that otherwise would have been paid in respect of such Eurodollar Loans with the Administrative Agent (which deposit must be equal in amount to the amount of such Eurodollar Loans not immediately prepaid), to be held as security for the obligations of such Borrowers to make such prepayment pursuant to a cash collateral agreement to be entered into on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent with such cash collateral to be directly applied upon the first occurrence thereafter of the last day of an Interest Period with respect to such Eurodollar Loans (or such earlier date or dates as shall be requested by such Borrower) or (ii) make a prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans in accordance with Subsection 4.4(a) with an amount equal to a portion (up to 100.0%) of the amounts that otherwise would have been paid in respect of such Eurodollar Loans (which prepayment, together with any deposits pursuant to clause (i) above, must be equal in amount to the amount of such Eurodollar Loans not immediately prepaid); provided that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, none of the Borrowers may request any Extension of Credit under the Commitments that would reduce Excess Availability to an amount that is less than the amount of such prepayment until the related portion of such Eurodollar Loans have been prepaid upon the first occurrence thereafter of the last day of an Interest Period with respect to such Eurodollar Loans; provided further, in the case of either clause (i) or (ii) above, such unpaid Eurodollar Loans shall continue to bear interest in accordance with Subsection 4.1 until such unpaid Eurodollar Loans or the related portion of such Eurodollar Loans, as the case may be, have or has been prepaid.

107

(g) If a notice of prepayment in connection with a repayment of all outstanding Loans is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of Commitments as contemplated by Subsection 2.3, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Subsection 2.3.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Subsection 4.4 may be amended (and the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any such amendments) to the extent necessary to reflect differing amounts payable, and priorities of payments, to Lenders participating in any new classes or tranches of Loans added pursuant to Subsections 2.6, 2.7 and 2.8, as applicable.

4.5 Commitment Fees; Administrative Agent’s Fee; Other Fees. (a) Each Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, a commitment fee for the period from and including the first day of the Commitment Period to the Termination Date, computed at the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily amount of the Unutilized Commitment of such Revolving Credit Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter and on the Termination Date or such earlier date as the Commitments shall terminate as provided herein, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof.

(b) Each Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the fees set forth in the last paragraph under the heading “ABL Facility Fees” of the Fee Letter on the payment dates set forth therein (without duplication of fees paid to the Term Loan Agent pursuant to such section of the Fee Letter).

4.6 Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest (other than interest based on the Base Rate) shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed; and commitment fees and interest based on the Base Rate shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year (or 366-day year, as the case may be) for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower Representative and the affected Lenders of each determination of an Adjusted LIBO Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Alternate Base Rate or the Statutory Reserves shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower Representative and the affected Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on each of the Borrowers and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower Representative or any Lender, deliver to the Borrower Representative or such Lender a statement showing in reasonable detail the calculations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Subsection 4.1, excluding any LIBO Rate which is based upon ICE LIBOR published by Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service page and any ABR Loan which is based upon the Alternate Base Rate.

108

4.7 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If, prior to the first day of any Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon each of the Borrowers) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate with respect to any Eurodollar Loan for such Interest Period (the “Affected Eurodollar Rate”), the Administrative Agent shall give facsimile or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower Representative and the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (a) any Eurodollar Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is based on the Affected Eurodollar Rate requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans and (b) any Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to or continued as Eurodollar Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is based upon the Affected Eurodollar Rate shall be converted to or continued as ABR Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is based upon the Affected Eurodollar Rate shall be made or continued as such, nor shall any of the Borrowers have the right to convert ABR Loans to Eurodollar Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is based upon the Affected Eurodollar Rate.

4.8 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Except as expressly otherwise provided herein, each borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans (other than Swingline Loans) by any of the applicable Borrowers from the Lenders hereunder shall be made, each payment by any of the Borrowers on account of any commitment fee in respect of the Commitments hereunder shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders, as applicable, shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent in each case pro rata according to the Commitment Percentages of the Lenders. Except as expressly otherwise provided herein, each payment (including each prepayment (but excluding payments made pursuant to Subsection 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 4.5(b), 4.9, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13(d), 4.15(c) or 11.1(g))) by any of the applicable Borrowers on account of principal of and interest on any Revolving Credit Loans shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of such Revolving Credit Loans then held by the relevant Revolving Credit Lenders, and each payment on account of principal of and interest on any loans made pursuant to any Tranche established after the date of this Agreement shall be allocated pro rata (or as may otherwise be provided for in the applicable amendment to this Agreement relating to such Tranche) among the Lenders with Incremental Revolving Commitments in respect thereof or with participations in such Tranche (in each case subject to any limitations on non-pro rata payments otherwise provided for in Subsection 2.6(b)(i)(E) or 2.6(b)(ii)). All payments (including prepayments) to be made by any of the Borrowers hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees, Reimbursement Obligations or otherwise, shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and shall be made on or prior to the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 2:00 P.M., New York City time (or such later time as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion)) on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders holding the relevant Loans, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, or the Other Representatives, as the case may be, at the Administrative Agent’s office specified in Subsection 11.2, in Dollars in immediately available funds. Payments received by the Administrative Agent after such time shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to such Lenders or

109

Other Representatives, as the case may be, if any such payment is received prior to 2:00 P.M., New York City time, on a Business Day, in like funds as received prior to the end of such Business Day and otherwise the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to such Lenders or Other Representatives, as the case may be, on the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity of such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity of such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension) unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. This Subsection 4.8(a) may be amended in accordance with Subsection 11.1(d) to the extent necessary to reflect differing amounts payable, and priorities of payments, to Lenders participating in any new Tranches added pursuant to Subsections 2.6, 2.7 and 2.8, as applicable.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrowers in respect of such borrowing a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Subsection 4.8(b) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, (x) the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower Representative of the failure of such Lender to make such amount available to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans hereunder on demand from such Borrower and (y) then such Borrower may, without waiving or limiting any rights or remedies it may have against such Lender hereunder or under applicable law or otherwise, borrow a like amount on an unsecured basis from any commercial bank for a period ending on the date upon which such Lender does in fact make such borrowing available; provided that at the time such borrowing is made and at all times while such amount is outstanding such Borrower would be permitted to borrow such amount pursuant to Subsection 2.1.

4.9 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof in each case occurring after the Closing Date shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement (“Affected Loans”), (a) such Lender shall promptly give written notice of such circumstances to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent (which notice shall be withdrawn whenever such circumstances no longer

110

exist), (b) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Affected Loans, continue Affected Loans as such and convert an ABR Loan to an Affected Loan shall forthwith be cancelled and, until such time as it shall no longer be unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain such Affected Loans, such Lender shall then have a commitment only to make an ABR Loan (or a Swingline Loan) when an Affected Loan is requested and (c) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Affected Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to ABR Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Affected Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion or prepayment of an Affected Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the applicable Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Subsection 4.12.

4.10 Requirements of Law. (a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof applicable to any Lender or any Issuing Lender, or compliance by any Lender or any Issuing Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority, in each case made subsequent to the Closing Date (or, if later, the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender or such Issuing Lender becomes an Issuing Lender):

(i) shall subject such Lender or such Issuing Lender to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to any Letter of Credit, any L/C Request or any Eurodollar Loans made or maintained by it or its obligation to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof, in each case, except for Non-Excluded Taxes, Taxes imposed by FATCA and Taxes measured by or imposed upon net income, or franchise Taxes, or Taxes measured by or imposed upon overall capital or net worth, or branch Taxes (in the case of such capital, net worth or branch Taxes, imposed in lieu of such net income Tax), of such Lender, such Issuing Lender or its applicable lending office, branch, or any affiliate thereof;

(ii) 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 which is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBO Rate hereunder; or

(iii) shall impose on such Lender or such Issuing Lender any other condition (excluding any Tax of any kind whatsoever);

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, by an amount which such Lender or such Issuing Lender deems to be material, 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, upon notice to the Borrower Representative from such Lender, through the Administrative Agent in accordance herewith, the applicable Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender or such Issuing Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable with respect to

111

such Eurodollar Loans, or Letters of Credit, provided that, in any such case, such Borrower may elect to convert the Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender hereunder to ABR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day’s (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) notice of such election, in which case such Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon demand, without duplication, amounts theretofore required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to this Subsection 4.10(a) and such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Subsection 4.12. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Subsection 4.10(a), it shall provide prompt notice thereof to the Borrower Representative, through the Administrative Agent, certifying (x) that one of the events described in this clause (a) has occurred and describing in reasonable detail the nature of such event, (y) as to the increased cost or reduced amount resulting from such event and (z) as to the additional amount demanded by such Lender and a reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation thereof. Such a certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Subsection 4.10(a) submitted by such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower Representative shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subsection 4.10(a), the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Subsection 4.10(a) (i) for any amounts incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower Representative of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the change in law giving rise to such increased costs is retroactive, then the 180 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof) or (ii) for any amounts, if such Lender is applying this provision to the Borrowers in a manner that is inconsistent with its application of “increased cost” or other similar provisions under other credit agreements to similarly situated borrowers. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(b) If any Lender or any Issuing Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or such Issuing Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender or such Issuing Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority, in each case, made subsequent to the Closing Date, does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s 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 change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender or such Issuing Lender to be material, then from time to time, within 10 Business Days after submission by such Lender to the Borrower Representative (through the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor certifying (x) that one of the events described in this clause (b) has occurred and describing in reasonable detail the nature of such event, (y) as to the reduction of the rate of return on capital resulting from such event and (z) as to the additional amount or amounts demanded by such Lender or such Issuing Lender or corporation and a reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation thereof, the applicable Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or corporation for such reduction. Such a certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Subsection 4.10(b) submitted by such Lender, through the

112

Administrative Agent, to the Borrower Representative shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Subsection 4.10(b), the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Subsection 4.10(b) (i) for any amounts incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower Representative of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor or (ii) for any amounts, if such Lender is applying this provision to the Borrowers in a manner that is inconsistent with its application of “increased cost” or other similar provisions under other credit agreements to similarly situated borrowers. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines and directives promulgated thereunder or issued in connection therewith and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, in each case shall be deemed to have been enacted, adopted or issued, as applicable, subsequent to the Closing Date for all purposes herein.

4.11 Taxes. (a) Except as provided below in this Subsection 4.11 or as required by law (which, for purposes of this Subsection 4.11, shall include FATCA), all payments made by the Borrowers or the Agents under this Agreement and any Notes shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes; provided that the Borrowers or the Agents may withhold from any payment made under this Agreement or any Notes to or for the benefit of any Person who is not a United States Person any U.S. federal withholding tax that would apply to such payment if all payments of interest (including original issue discount), fees and commissions under this Agreement and any Notes were treated as income from sources within the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes; provided further that if any Non-Excluded Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to any Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any Notes, the amounts so payable by such Borrower shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to such Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, and the Borrowers shall not be required to indemnify for, any Non-Excluded Taxes, and any such amounts payable by any Borrower to or for the account of any Agent or Lender shall not be increased (x) if such Agent or Lender fails to comply with the requirements of clause (b), (c), (d) or (e) of this Subsection 4.11 or with the requirements of Subsection 4.13, or (y) with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes imposed in connection with the payment of any fees paid under this Agreement unless such Non-Excluded Taxes are imposed as a result of a Change in Law, or (z) with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes imposed by the United States or any state or political subdivision thereof, unless such Non-Excluded Taxes are imposed as a result of a change in treaty, law or regulation that occurred after such Agent became an Agent hereunder or such Lender became a Lender hereunder (or, if such Agent or Lender is a non-U.S. intermediary or flow-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, after the relevant beneficiary or member of such Agent or Lender became such a beneficiary or member, if later) (any such change, at such time, a “Change in Law”). Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are payable by

113

any Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower Representative shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of the respective Lender or Agent, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by such Borrower showing payment thereof. If any Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the appropriate Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law or the Borrower Representative fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, such Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Agents for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. The agreements in this Subsection 4.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(b) Each Agent and each Lender that is not a United States Person shall:

(i) (1) on or before the date of any payment by any of the Borrowers under this Agreement or any Notes to, or for the account of, such Agent or Lender, deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent (A) two accurate and complete original signed Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN-E (certifying that it is a resident of the applicable country within the meaning of the income tax treaty between the United States and that country) or Forms W-8ECI, or successor applicable form, as the case may be, in each case certifying that it is entitled to receive all payments under this Agreement and any Notes without deduction or withholding of any U.S. federal income taxes, and (B) such other forms, documentation or certifications, as the case may be, certifying that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement and any Notes;

(2) deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent two further accurate and complete original signed forms or certifications provided in Subsection 4.11(b)(i)(1) on or before the date that any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certificate previously delivered by it to the Borrower Representative;

(3) obtain such extensions of time for filing and completing such forms or certifications as may reasonably be requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent; and

(4) deliver, to the extent legally entitled to do so, upon reasonable request by the Borrower Representative, to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent such other forms as may be reasonably required in order to establish the legal entitlement of such Agent or such Lender to an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding with respect to payments under this Agreement and any Notes, provided that in determining the reasonableness of a request under this clause (4) such Lender shall be entitled to consider the cost (to the extent unreimbursed by any Loan Party) which would be imposed on such Lender of complying with such request; or

114

(ii) in the case of any such Lender that is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code and is claiming the so-called “portfolio interest exemption”,

(1) represent to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent that it is not (A) a bank within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of any Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code;

(2) on or before the date of any payment by any of the Borrowers under this Agreement or any Notes to, or for the account of, such Lender, deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent, (A) two certificates substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto (any such certificate a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (B) two accurate and complete original signed Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN-E, or successor applicable form, certifying to such Lender’s legal entitlement at the date of such form to an exemption from U.S. withholding tax under the provisions of Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and any Notes and (C) such other forms, documentation or certifications, as the case may be certifying that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement and any Notes (and shall also deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent two further accurate and complete original signed forms or certificates on or before the date it expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recently provided form or certificate and, if necessary, obtain any extensions of time reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent for filing and completing such forms or certificates); and

(3) deliver, to the extent legally entitled to do so, upon reasonable request by the Borrower Representative, to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent such other forms as may be reasonably required in order to establish the legal entitlement of such Lender to an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding with respect to payments under this Agreement and any Notes, provided that in determining the reasonableness of a request under this clause (3) such Lender shall be entitled to consider the cost (to the extent unreimbursed by the Borrower Representative) which would be imposed on such Lender of complying with such request; or

(A) with respect to each beneficiary or member of such Agent or Lender that is not claiming the so-called “portfolio interest exemption”, also deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent (I) two accurate and complete original signed Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN-E (certifying that such beneficiary or member is a resident of the applicable country within the meaning of the income tax treaty between the United States and that country), Forms W-8ECI or Forms W-9, or successor applicable form, as the case may be, in each case so that each such beneficiary or member is entitled to receive all payments under this Agreement and any Notes without deduction or withholding of any U.S. federal income taxes and (II) such other forms, documentation or certifications, as the case may be, certifying that each such beneficiary or member is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax with respect to all payments under this Agreement and any Notes; and

(B) with respect to each beneficiary or member of such Lender that is claiming the so-called “portfolio interest exemption”, (I) represent to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent that such beneficiary or member is not (1) a bank within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (2) a “10 percent shareholder” of any Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (3) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and (II) also deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent two U.S. Tax Compliance Certificates from each beneficiary or member and two accurate and complete original signed Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN-E, or successor applicable form, certifying to such beneficiary’s or member’s legal entitlement at the date of such certificate to an exemption from U.S. withholding tax under the provisions of Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and any Notes, and (III) also deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent such other forms, documentation or certifications, as the case may be, certifying that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement and any Notes;

116

(2) deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent two further accurate and complete original signed forms, certificates or certifications referred to above on or before the date any such form, certificate or certification expires or becomes obsolete, or any beneficiary or member changes, and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recently provided form, certificate or certification and obtain such extensions of time reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent for filing and completing such forms, certificates or certifications; and

(3) deliver, to the extent legally entitled to do so, upon reasonable request by the Borrower Representative, to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent such other forms as may be reasonably required in order to establish the legal entitlement of such Agent or Lender (or beneficiary or member) to an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding with respect to payments under this Agreement and any Notes, provided that in determining the reasonableness of a request under this clause (3) such Agent or Lender shall be entitled to consider the cost (to the extent unreimbursed by any of the Borrowers) which would be imposed on such Agent or Lender (or beneficiary or member) of complying with such request;

unless in any such case (other than with respect to United States backup withholding tax) there has been a Change in Law which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Agent or such Lender (or such beneficiary or member) from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Agent or such Lender so advises the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent.

(c) Each Lender and each Agent, in each case that is a United States Person, shall on or before the date of any payment by any Borrower under this Agreement or any Notes to such Lender or Agent, deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent two accurate and complete original signed Internal Revenue Service Forms W-9, or successor applicable form, certifying that such Lender or Agent is a United States Person and that such Lender or Agent is entitled to complete exemption from United States backup withholding tax.

117

account of others are not effectively connected with the conduct of its trade or business in the United States and that it is using such form as evidence of its agreement with the Borrowers to be treated as a U.S. person with respect to such payments (and the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent agree to so treat the Administrative Agent as a U.S. person with respect to such payments as contemplated by U.S. Treasury Regulation § 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv)) and (C) such other forms or certifications as may be sufficient under applicable law to establish that the Administrative Agent is entitled to receive any payment by any of the Borrowers under this Agreement or any Notes (whether for its own account or for the account of others) without deduction or withholding of any U.S. federal income taxes;

(ii) deliver to the Borrower Representative two further accurate and complete original signed forms or certifications provided in Subsection 4.11(d)(i) on or before the date that any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certificate previously delivered by it to the Borrower Representative; and

(iii) obtain such extensions of time for filing and completing such forms or certifications as may reasonably be requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent;

unless in any such case (other than with respect to United States backup withholding tax) there has been a Change in Law which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent the Administrative Agent from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and the Administrative Agent so advises the Borrower Representative.

(e) If a payment made to an Agent or a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Agent or such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA, such Agent or such Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower Representative, such documentation prescribed by applicable law and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower Representative as may be necessary for the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers to comply with their respective obligations (including any applicable reporting requirements) under FATCA, to determine whether such Agent or such Lender has complied with such Agent’s or such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall be permitted to withhold any Taxes imposed by FATCA.

(f) For purposes of this Section 4.11 and for purposes of Section 4.13, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Lender.

118

4.12 Indemnity. The Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify each Lender in respect of Extensions of Credit made, or requested to be made, to the Borrowers and to hold each such Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur (other than through such Lender’s bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable decision) as a consequence of (a) default by such Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans, after the Borrower Representative has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by such Borrower in making any prepayment or conversion of Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower Representative has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a payment or prepayment of Eurodollar Loans or the conversion of Eurodollar Loans on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or converted, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or conversion or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of the applicable 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 Eurodollar Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) which would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurodollar market. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any amounts under the indemnity contained in this Subsection 4.12, it shall provide prompt notice thereof to the Borrower Representative, through the Administrative Agent, certifying (x) that one of the events described in clause (a), (b) or (c) has occurred and describing in reasonable detail the nature of such event, (y) as to the loss or expense sustained or incurred by such Lender as a consequence thereof and (z) as to the amount for which such Lender seeks indemnification hereunder and a reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation thereof. Such a certificate as to any indemnification pursuant to this Subsection 4.12 submitted by such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower Representative shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The Borrower Representative shall pay (or cause the relevant Borrower to pay) such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within five Business Days after receipt thereof. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

4.13 Certain Rules Relating to the Payment of Additional Amounts. (a) Upon the request, and at the expense of the Borrower Representative, each Lender and Agent to which any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount pursuant to Subsection 4.10 or 4.11, and any Participant in respect of whose participation such payment is required, shall reasonably afford the Borrower Representative the opportunity to contest, and reasonably cooperate with the Borrower Representative in contesting, the imposition of any Non-Excluded Tax giving rise to such payment; provided that (i) such Lender or Agent shall not be required to afford the Borrower Representative the opportunity to so contest unless the Borrower Representative shall have confirmed in writing to such Lender or Agent such Borrower’s obligation to pay such amounts pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) the Borrowers shall reimburse such Lender or Agent for its reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and disbursements incurred in so cooperating with the Borrower Representative in contesting the imposition of such Non-Excluded Tax; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing no Lender or Agent shall be required to afford the Borrower Representative the opportunity to contest, or cooperate with the Borrower Representative in contesting, the imposition of any Non-Excluded Taxes, if such Lender or Agent in its sole discretion in good faith determines that to do so would have an adverse effect on it.

119

(b) If a Lender changes its applicable lending office (other than (i) pursuant to clause (c) below or (ii) after an Event of Default under Subsection 9.1(a) or 9.1(f) has occurred and is continuing) and the effect of such change, as of the date of such change, would be to cause any of the Borrowers to become obligated to pay any additional amount under Subsection 4.10 or 4.11, such Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such additional amount.

(c) If a condition or an event occurs which would, or would upon the passage of time or giving of notice, result in the payment of any additional amount to any Lender or Agent by any of the Borrowers pursuant to Subsection 4.10 or 4.11 or result in Affected Loans or commitments to make Affected Loans being automatically converted to ABR Loans or commitments to make ABR Loans, as the case may be, pursuant to Subsection 4.9, such Lender or Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent and shall take such steps as may reasonably be available to it to mitigate the effects of such condition or event (which shall include efforts to rebook the Loans held by such Lender at another lending office, or through another branch or an affiliate, of such Lender); provided that such Lender or Agent shall not be required to take any step that, in its reasonable judgment, would be materially disadvantageous to its business or operations or would require it to incur additional costs (unless the Borrowers agree to reimburse such Lender or Agent for the reasonable incremental out-of-pocket costs thereof).

(d) If any of the Borrowers shall become obligated to pay additional amounts pursuant to Subsection 4.10 or 4.11 and any affected Lender shall not have promptly taken steps necessary to avoid the need for payments under Subsection 4.10 or 4.11 or if Affected Loans or commitments to make Affected Loans are automatically converted to ABR Loans or commitments to make ABR Loans, as the case may be, under Subsection 4.9 and any affected Lender shall not have promptly taken steps necessary to avoid the need for such conversion under Subsection 4.9, the Borrower Representative shall have the right, for so long as such obligation remains, (i) with the assistance of the Administrative Agent to seek one or more substitute Lenders reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative to purchase the affected Loan, in whole or in part, at an aggregate price no less than such Loan’s principal amount plus accrued interest, and assume the affected obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) so long as no Event of Default under Subsection 9.1(a) or 9.1(f) then exists or will exist immediately after giving effect to the respective prepayment, upon notice to the Administrative Agent to prepay the affected Loan, in whole or in part, subject to Subsection 4.12, without premium or penalty and terminate the Commitments in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility of such Lender. In the case of the substitution of a Lender, then, the Borrower Representative, any other applicable Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the affected Lender, and any substitute Lender shall execute and deliver an appropriately completed Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to Subsection 11.6(b) to effect the assignment of rights to, and the assumption of obligations by, the substitute Lender; provided that any fees required to be paid by Subsection 11.6(b) in connection with such assignment shall be paid by the Borrower Representative or the substitute Lender. In the case of a prepayment of an affected Loan, the amount specified in the notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together

120

with any accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. In the case of each of the substitution of a Lender and of the prepayment of an affected Loan, the applicable Borrower shall first pay the affected Lender any additional amounts owing under Subsections 4.10 and 4.11 (as well as any commitment fees and other amounts then due and owing to such Lender, including any amounts under this Subsection 4.13) prior to such substitution or prepayment. In the case of the substitution of a Lender pursuant to this Subsection 4.13(d) or Subsection 4.15(c)(i), if the Lender being replaced does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance and/or any other documentation necessary to reflect such replacement by the later of (a) the date on which the assignee Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation and (b) the date as of which all obligations of the Borrowers owing to such replaced Lender relating to the Loans and participations so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender and/or the Borrower Representative to such Lender being replaced, then the Lender being replaced shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation as of such date and the applicable Borrower shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation on behalf of such Lender.

(e) If any Agent or any Lender receives a refund directly attributable to Taxes for which any of the Borrowers has made additional payments pursuant to Subsection 4.10(a) or 4.11(a), such Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, shall promptly pay such refund (together with any interest with respect thereto received from the relevant taxing authority, but net of any reasonable cost incurred in connection therewith) to such Borrower; provided, however, that such Borrower agrees promptly to return such refund (together with any interest with respect thereto due to the relevant taxing authority) (free of all Non-Excluded Taxes) to such Agent or the applicable Lender, as the case may be, upon receipt of a notice that such refund is required to be repaid to the relevant taxing authority.

(f) The obligations of any Agent, Lender or Participant under this Subsection 4.13 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all amounts payable hereunder.

4.14 Controls on Prepayment if Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exceeds Aggregate Revolving Credit Loan Commitments. (a) In addition to the provisions set forth in Subsection 4.4(b), the Borrower Representative will implement and maintain internal controls to monitor the borrowings and repayments of Loans by the Borrowers and the issuance of and drawings under Letters of Credit, with the objective of preventing any request for an Extension of Credit that would result in (i) the Aggregate Outstanding Credit with respect to all of the Revolving Credit Lenders (including the Swingline Lender) being in excess of the aggregate Commitments then in effect or (ii) any other circumstance under which an Extension of Credit would not be permitted pursuant to Subsection 2.1(a).

(b) The Administrative Agent will calculate the Aggregate Outstanding Credit with respect to all of (A) the Revolving Credit Lenders and (B) the Lenders (in each case, including the Swingline Lender) from time to time, and in any event not less frequently than once during each calendar week. In making such calculations, the Administrative Agent will rely on the information most recently received by it from the Swingline Lender in respect of outstanding Swingline Loans and from the Issuing Lenders in respect of outstanding L/C Obligations.

121

4.15 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Revolving Credit Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) no commitment fee shall accrue for the account of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender (except to the extent it is payable to the Issuing Lender pursuant to clause (d)(v) below);

(b) in determining the Required Lenders or Supermajority Lenders, any Lender that at the time is a Defaulting Lender (and the Revolving Credit Loans and/or Commitment of such Defaulting Lender) shall be excluded and disregarded;

(c) the Borrower Representative shall have the right, at its sole expense and effort (i) to seek one or more Persons reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative to each become a substitute Revolving Credit Lender and assume all or part of the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender and the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent and any such substitute Revolving Credit Lender shall execute and deliver, and such Defaulting Lender shall thereupon be deemed to have executed and delivered, an appropriately completed Assignment and Acceptance to effect such substitution or (ii) so long as no Event of Default under Subsection 9.1(a) or 9.1(f) then exists or will exist immediately after giving effect to the respective prepayment, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, to prepay the Loans and, at the Borrower Representative’s option, terminate the Commitments of such Defaulting Lender, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty;

(d) if any Swingline Exposure exists or any L/C Obligations exist at the time a Revolving Credit Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i) all or any part of such Swingline Exposure and L/C Obligations shall be re-allocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages but only to the extent the sum of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and L/C Obligations does not exceed the total of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments;

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent for so long as such L/C Obligations are outstanding;

122

(iii) if any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations is cash collateralized pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay the L/C Fee for participation with respect to such portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure so long as it is cash collateralized;

(iv) if any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations is reallocated to the Non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to clause (i) above, then the letter of credit commission with respect to such portion shall be allocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their Commitment Percentages; or

(v) if any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to this Subsection 4.15(d), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Lender or any Revolving Credit Lender hereunder, the commitment fee that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment that was utilized by such L/C Obligations) and the letter of credit commission payable with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations shall be payable to the Issuing Lender until such L/C Obligations are cash collateralized and/or reallocated;

(e) so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless they are respectively satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateralized on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and participations in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit or newly made Swingline Loan shall be allocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein);

(f) any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Subsection 11.7) may, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated non-interest bearing account and, subject to any applicable Requirements of Law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder, (ii) second, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender hereunder, (iii) third, to the funding of any Loan or the funding or cash collateralization of any participation in any Swingline Loan or Letter of Credit in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent, (iv) fourth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, (v) fifth, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers or the Lenders

123

as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by a Borrower or any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement and (vi) sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if such payment is (x) a prepayment of the principal amount of any Loans or Reimbursement Obligations in respect of L/C Disbursements in respect of which a Defaulting Lender has funded its participation obligations and (y) made at a time when the conditions set forth in Subsection 6.2 are satisfied, such payment shall be applied solely to prepay the Loans of, and Reimbursement Obligations owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Loans, or Reimbursement Obligations owed to, any Defaulting Lender; and

(g) In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower Representative, each applicable Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and L/C Obligations of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Commitment Percentage. The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Subsection 4.15 are in addition to other rights and remedies that the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Non-Defaulting Lenders may have against such Defaulting Lender. The arrangements permitted or required by this Subsection 4.15 shall be permitted under this Agreement, notwithstanding any limitation on Liens or the pro rata sharing provisions or otherwise.

4.16 Cash Management. (a) Annexed hereto as Schedule 4.16, as the same may be modified from time to time by notice to the Administrative Agent, is a schedule of all DDAs and Concentration Accounts that are maintained by the Qualified Loan Parties, which schedule includes, with respect to each depository (i) the name and address of such depository; (ii) the account number(s) (and account name(s) of such bank account(s)) maintained with such depository; and (iii) a contact person at such depository.

(b) Except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, each Qualified Loan Party shall (i) deliver to the Administrative Agent (A) notifications executed on behalf of each such Qualified Loan Party to each depository institution with which any DDA (other than Excluded Accounts) is maintained, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent of the Administrative Agent’s interest in such DDA and (B) Credit Card Notifications executed on behalf of each such Qualified Loan Party and delivered to each Credit Card Issuer and Credit Card Processor, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (ii) instruct each depository institution for a DDA (other than Excluded Accounts) that the amount in excess of the Target Amount and available at the close of each Business Day in such DDA should be swept to one of the Qualified Loan Parties’ Concentration Accounts no less frequently than on a daily basis, such instructions to be irrevocable unless otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent, (iii) enter into a blocked account agreement (each, a “Blocked Account Agreement”), in form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, with the Administrative Agent or the

124

Collateral Agent and any bank with which such Qualified Loan Party maintains a Concentration Account into which the DDAs (other than Excluded Accounts) are swept (each such account, a “Blocked Account” and collectively, the “Blocked Accounts”), covering each such Concentration Account maintained with such bank and (iv) (A) instruct all Account Debtors of such Qualified Loan Party that remit payments of Accounts of such Account Debtor regularly by check pursuant to arrangements with such Qualified Loan Party to remit all such payments to the applicable “P.O. Boxes” or “Lockbox Addresses” with respect to the applicable DDA or Concentration Account, which remittances shall be collected by the applicable bank and deposited in the applicable DDA or Concentration Account or (B) cause the checks of any such Account Debtors to be deposited in the applicable DDA or Concentration Account within two Business Days after such check is received by such Qualified Loan Party. All amounts received by the Parent Borrower or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries that is a Loan Party in respect of any Account, in addition to all other cash received from any other source, shall upon receipt of such amount or cash (other than (i) any such amount to be deposited in Excluded Accounts or (ii) cash excluded from the Collateral pursuant to any Security Document) be deposited into a DDA (other than an Excluded Account) or Concentration Account. Each Qualified Loan Party agrees that it will not cause proceeds of such DDAs (other than Excluded Accounts) to be otherwise redirected.

(c) Each Blocked Account Agreement shall require, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Dominion Event, the ACH or wire transfer no less frequently than once per Business Day (unless the Commitments have been terminated and the monetary obligations then due and owing hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been paid in full and all Letters of Credit have either been terminated or expired (unless cash collateralized or otherwise provided for in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent)), of all available cash balances and cash receipts, including the then contents or then entire available ledger balance of each Blocked Account net of such minimum balance (not to exceed $1,000,000 per account or $3,000,000 in the aggregate), if any, required by the bank at which such Blocked Account is maintained to an account maintained by the Administrative Agent at Citibank, N.A. (or another bank of recognized standing reasonably selected by the Administrative Agent with the reasonable consent of the Borrower Representative) (the “Core Concentration Account”). Each Qualified Loan Party agrees that it will not cause proceeds of any Blocked Account to be otherwise redirected.

(d) All collected amounts received in the Core Concentration Account shall be distributed and applied on a daily basis in the following order (in each case, to the extent the Administrative Agent has actual knowledge of the amounts owing or outstanding as described below and after giving effect to the application of any such amounts constituting proceeds from any Collateral otherwise required to be applied pursuant to the terms of the respective Security Document, the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement, any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any Other Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable): (1) first, to the payment (on a ratable basis) of any outstanding expenses actually due and payable to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under any of the Loan Documents and to repay or prepay outstanding Revolving Credit Loans advanced by the Administrative Agent; (2) second, to pay (on a ratable basis) all outstanding expenses actually due and payable to each Issuing Lender under any of the Loan Documents and to repay all outstanding Unpaid Drawings and all interest thereon; (3) third, to pay (on a ratable basis) all accrued and unpaid interest actually due and payable on

125

the Revolving Credit Loans and all accrued and unpaid fees actually due and payable to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents; (4) fourth, to repay (on a ratable basis) the outstanding principal of Revolving Credit Loans (whether or not then due and payable); (5) fifth, to pay (on a ratable basis) all outstanding obligations of the Borrowers then due and payable to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, and the Lenders under this Agreement; and (6) sixth, to pay (on a ratable basis) all other outstanding obligations of the Borrowers then due and payable to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, and the Lenders under any of the other Loan Documents. This Subsection 4.16(d) may be amended (and the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into such amendments) to the extent necessary to reflect differing amounts payable, and priorities of payments, to Lenders participating in any new classes or tranches of loans added pursuant to Subsections 2.6, 2.7 and 2.8, as applicable, in accordance with Subsection 11.1(d).

(e) If, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Dominion Event as to which the Administrative Agent has notified the Borrower Representative, any cash, Cash Equivalents or Temporary Cash Investments owned by any Qualified Loan Party (other than (i) de minimis cash, Cash Equivalents and/or Temporary Cash Investments from time to time inadvertently misapplied by any Qualified Loan Party, (ii) cash, Cash Equivalents or Temporary Cash Investments deposited or to be deposited in an Excluded Account in accordance with this Subsection 4.16, (iii) cash, Cash Equivalents or Temporary Cash Investments that are (or are in any bank account that is) excluded from the Collateral pursuant to any Security Document, including Excluded Assets and (iv) cash, Cash Equivalents or Temporary Cash Investments in the Asset Sales Proceeds Account (as defined in the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement, if any) are deposited to any bank account, or held or invested in any manner, otherwise than in a Blocked Account subject to a Blocked Account Agreement (or a DDA which is swept daily to such Blocked Account), the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to require the applicable Qualified Loan Party to close such bank account and have all funds therein transferred to a Blocked Account, and to cause all future deposits that were previously made or required to be made to such bank account to be made to a Blocked Account.

(f) The Qualified Loan Parties respectively may close DDAs or Concentration Accounts and/or open new DDAs or new Concentration Accounts, subject to, in the case of any new Concentration Account, (i) the contemporaneous execution and delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Blocked Account Agreement consistent with the provisions of this Subsection 4.16 with respect to each such new Concentration Account or (ii) other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; provided that as part of the Compliance Certificate to be delivered concurrently with the delivery of financial statements and reports referred to in Subsections 7.1(a) and 7.1(b) the Borrower Representative will provide a list to the Administrative Agent of any newly opened or acquired DDAs or Concentration Accounts during the preceding Fiscal Quarter.

(g) In the event that a Qualified Loan Party acquires new demand deposit accounts or new concentration accounts in connection with an acquisition, the Borrower Representative will procure that such Qualified Loan Party shall within 90 days of the date of such acquisition (or such longer period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) cause such new demand deposit accounts or new concentration accounts so acquired to comply with

126

the applicable requirements of Subsection 4.16(b) (including, with respect to any new Concentration Account, by entering into a Blocked Account Agreement) or shall enter into other arrangements consistent with the provisions of this Subsection 4.16 and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent with respect to any new Concentration Account or DDA that, in either case, is to become a Blocked Account.

(h) The Core Concentration Account shall at all times be under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent. The Borrower Representative, on behalf of each Qualified Loan Party, hereby acknowledges and agrees that, except to the extent otherwise provided in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement, any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any Other Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable, (x) such Qualified Loan Party has no right of withdrawal from the Core Concentration Account, (y) the funds on deposit in the Core Concentration Account shall at all times continue to be collateral security for all of the Obligations of the Qualified Loan Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and (z) the funds on deposit in the Core Concentration Account shall be applied as provided in this Agreement and the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement (and any other applicable intercreditor agreement). In the event that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Subsection 4.16, any Qualified Loan Party receives or otherwise has dominion and control of any proceeds or collections required to be transferred to the Core Concentration Account pursuant to Subsection 4.16(c), such proceeds and collections shall be held in trust by such Qualified Loan Party for the Administrative Agent, shall not be commingled with any of such Qualified Loan Party’s other funds or deposited in any bank account of such Qualified Loan Party (other than any bank account by which such Qualified Loan Party received or acquired dominion or control over such proceeds and collections or with any funds in such bank account) and shall promptly be deposited into the Core Concentration Account or dealt with in such other fashion as such Qualified Loan Party may be instructed by the Administrative Agent.

(i) So long as no Dominion Event has occurred and is continuing, the Qualified Loan Parties may direct, and shall have sole control over, the manner of disposition of funds in the Blocked Accounts.

(j) Any amounts held or received in the Core Concentration Account (including all interest and other earnings with respect hereto, if any) at any time (x) when all of the monetary obligations due and owing hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been satisfied or (y) all Dominion Events have been cured or waived, shall (subject in the case of clause (x) to the provisions of the applicable intercreditor agreement), be remitted to the operating bank account of the applicable Qualified Loan Party.

(k) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Loan Parties shall be deemed to be in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Subsection 4.16 during the initial 90 day period commencing on the Closing Date to the extent that the arrangements described above are established and effective not later than the date that is 90 days following the Closing Date or such later date as the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may agree.

127

SECTION 5

Representations and Warranties

To induce the Administrative Agent and each Lender to make the Extensions of Credit requested to be made by it on the Closing Date and on each other date thereafter on which an Extension of Credit is made, the Parent Borrower with respect to itself and its Restricted Subsidiaries, hereby represents and warrants, on the Closing Date, in each case after giving effect to the Transactions (solely to the extent required to be true and correct for such Extension of Credit pursuant to Subsection 6.1), and on every other date thereafter on which an Extension of Credit is made (solely to the extent required to be true and correct for such Extension of Credit pursuant to Subsection 6.2), to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that:

(b) As of the Closing Date, except as set forth in the financial statements referred to in Subsection 5.1(a), there are no liabilities of any Loan Party of any kind, whether accrued, contingent, absolute, determined, determinable or otherwise, which would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet and related unaudited pro forma statement of operations of the Waterworks Business and its Subsidiaries as of and for the 12-month period ending April 30, 2017, adjusted to give effect (as if such events had occurred on such date for purposes of the balance sheet and at the beginning of such period, for purposes of the statement of operations), to the consummation of the Transactions, and the Extensions of Credit hereunder on the Closing Date.

(d) The Projections have been prepared by management of the Parent Borrower in good faith based upon assumptions believed by management to be reasonable at the time of preparation thereof (it being understood that such Projections, and the assumptions on which they were based, may or may not prove to be correct).

5.2 No Change; Solvent. Since the Closing Date, there has been no development or event relating to or affecting any Loan Party which has had or would be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (after giving effect to (i) the consummation of the Transactions, (ii) the making of the Extensions of Credit to be made on the

128

Closing Date and the application of the proceeds thereof as contemplated hereby, and (iii) the payment of actual or estimated fees, expenses, financing costs and tax payments related to the Transactions contemplated hereby). As of the Closing Date, after giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions to be consummated on the Closing Date, the Parent Borrower, together with its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, is Solvent.

5.3 Corporate Existence; Compliance with Law. Each of the Loan Parties (a) is duly organized, validly existing and (to the extent applicable in the relevant jurisdiction) in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation, except (other than with respect to the Borrowers), to the extent that the failure to be organized, existing and (to the extent applicable) in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (b) has the legal right to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, except to the extent that the failure to have such legal right would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or limited liability company and (to the extent applicable in the relevant jurisdiction) in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, other than in such jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified and (to the extent applicable) in good standing would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (d) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law, except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith would not, in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.4 Corporate Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Each Loan Party has the corporate or other organizational power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of each Borrower, to obtain Extensions of Credit hereunder, and each such Loan Party has taken all necessary corporate or other organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of each Borrower, to authorize the Extensions of Credit to it, if any, on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, any Notes and the L/C Requests. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other similar act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required to be obtained or made by or on behalf of any Loan Party in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents to which it is a party or, in the case of each Borrower, with the Extensions of Credit to it, if any, hereunder, except for (a) consents, authorizations, notices and filings described in Schedule 5.4, all of which have been obtained or made prior to the Closing Date, (b) filings to perfect the Liens created by the Security Documents, and (c) consents, authorizations, notices and filings which the failure to obtain or make would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each Borrower, and each other Loan Document to which any Loan Party is a party will be duly executed and delivered on behalf of such Loan Party. This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Borrower and each other Loan Document to which any Loan Party is a party when executed and delivered will constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, in each case except as enforceability may be limited by applicable domestic or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

129

5.5 No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents by any of the Loan Parties, the Extensions of Credit hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof (a) will not violate any Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation of such Loan Party in any respect that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (b) will not result in, or require the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than Liens securing the Obligations or otherwise permitted hereby) on any of its properties or revenues pursuant to any such Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation and (c) will not violate any provision of the Organizational Documents of such Loan Party or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries, except (other than with respect to the Borrowers) as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.6 No Material Litigation. No litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrowers, threatened by or against the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or against any of their respective properties or revenues, (a) except as described on Schedule 5.6, which is so pending or threatened at any time on or prior to the Closing Date and relates to any of the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or (b) which would be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.7 No Default. Neither the Parent Borrower nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any respect which would be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Since the Closing Date, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

5.8 Ownership of Property; Liens. Each of the Parent Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries has good title in fee simple to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its material real property located in the United States of America, and good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its other material property located in the United States of America, except those for which the failure to have such good title or such leasehold interest would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and none of such real or other property is subject to any Lien, except for Liens permitted hereby (including Permitted Liens).

5.9 Intellectual Property. The Parent Borrower and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries owns beneficially, or has the legal right to use, all United States and foreign patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark applications, trade names, copyrights, and rights in know-how and trade secrets necessary for each of them to conduct its business as currently conducted (the “Intellectual Property”) except for those for which the failure to own or have such legal right to use would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as provided on Schedule 5.9, no claim has been asserted and is pending by any Person against the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries challenging or questioning the use of any such Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any such Intellectual Property, nor does the Borrower Representative know of any such claim, and, to the knowledge of the Borrower Representative, the use of such Intellectual Property by the Parent Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries does not infringe on the rights of any Person, except for such claims and infringements which in the aggregate, would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

130

5.10 Taxes. To the knowledge of the Borrower Representative, (1) the Parent Borrower and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries has filed or caused to be filed all material tax returns which are required to be filed by it and has paid (a) all Taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns and (b) all Taxes shown to be due and payable on any assessments of which it has received notice made against it or any of its property and all other Taxes imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority; and (2) no Tax Liens have been filed (except for Liens for Taxes not yet due and payable), and no claim is being asserted in writing, with respect to any such Taxes (in each case other than in respect of any such (i) Taxes with respect to which the failure to pay, in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) Taxes the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the Parent Borrower or its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be).

5.11 Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Extensions of Credit will be used for any purpose which violates the provisions of the Regulations of the Board, including Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X of the Board. If requested by any Lender or the Administrative Agent, the Borrower Representative will furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender a statement to the foregoing effect in conformity with the requirements of FR Form G-3 or FR Form U-1, referred to in said Regulation U.

8.5 Limitation on Dispositions of Collateral. Unless the Payment Condition shall have been satisfied, engage in any Asset Sale with respect to any of the ABL Priority Collateral, except that the Parent Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall be allowed to engage in any Asset Sale, so long as the consideration received (including by way of relief from, or by any other Person assuming responsibility for, any liabilities, contingent or otherwise) in connection with such Asset Sale is for fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Borrower Representative, which determination shall be conclusive, as of the date a legally binding commitment for such Asset Sale was entered into), and if the consideration received is greater than $25,000,000, at least 75.0% of such consideration received (excluding, in the case of an Asset Sale (or series of related Asset Sales), any consideration by way of relief from, or by any other Person assuming responsibility for, any liabilities, contingent or otherwise, that are not Indebtedness) is in the form of cash. For the purposes of the foregoing, the following are deemed to be cash: (1) Cash Equivalents and Temporary Cash Investments, (2) the assumption of Indebtedness of the Parent Borrower (other than Disqualified Capital Stock of the Parent Borrower) or any Restricted Subsidiary and the release of the Parent Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary from all liability on payment of the principal amount of such Indebtedness in

158

connection with such Asset Sale, (3) Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary that is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such Asset Sale, to the extent that the Parent Borrower and each other Restricted Subsidiary are released from any Guarantee Obligation of payment of the principal amount of such Indebtedness in connection with such Asset Sale, (4) securities received by the Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary from the transferee that are converted by the Parent Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash within 180 days, (5) consideration consisting of Indebtedness of the Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, (6) Additional Assets and (7) any Designated Noncash Consideration received by the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in an Asset Sale having an aggregate fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Borrower Representative, which determination shall be conclusive), taken together with all other Designated Noncash Consideration received pursuant to this clause, not to exceed an aggregate amount at any time outstanding equal to the greater of $87,500,000 and 11.50% of Consolidated Tangible Assets at the time of designation (with the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Borrower Representative, which determination shall be conclusive) of each item of Designated Noncash Consideration being measured on the date a legally binding commitment for such Asset Sale (or, if later, for the payment of such item) was entered into and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value).

In connection with any Asset Sale permitted under this Subsection 8.5 or a Disposition that is excluded from the definition of “Asset Sale”, the Administrative Agent shall, and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to, execute such releases of Liens and take such other actions as the Borrower Representative may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing.

8.6 Limitation on Optional Payments and Modifications of Restricted Indebtedness and Other Documents. (a) Make any optional payment or optional prepayment on or optional repurchase or optional redemption of (i) the Senior Notes or (ii) any Indebtedness that, in each case refinances, refunds, replaces, renews, repays, restructures or extends the Indebtedness set forth in preceding clause (i) or any refinancing thereof (in each case whether incurred under Subsection 8.13(i)(ii) or with the proceeds of any Indebtedness incurred under any other provision of Subsection 8.13) or any Indebtedness that is by its terms subordinated to the payment in cash of the Obligations (collectively or individually, “Restricted Indebtedness”), including any payments on account of clauses (i) and (ii), or for a sinking or other analogous fund for, the repurchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition thereof (it being understood that (x) payments of regularly scheduled interest and (y) any payment by the Parent Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary made as a mandatory principal redemption or other payment in respect of any Restricted Indebtedness pursuant to an “AHYDO saver” provision of any agreement or instrument in respect of Restricted Indebtedness (including the Borrower Representative’s determination in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive) of the amount of any such “AHYDO saver” mandatory principal redemption or other payment) shall be in each case permitted), unless (i) the Payment Condition shall have been satisfied or such payment or prepayment on or optional repurchase or redemption of Restricted Indebtedness is financed with an amount not exceeding the Available Excluded Contribution Amount Basket and (ii) no Specified Default or other Event of Default known to the Borrowers has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom; provided that the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may consummate any redemption of Restricted Indebtedness within 60 days after the date of giving an irrevocable notice of redemption if at such date of giving of such notice, such redemption would have complied with this Subsection 8.6(a).

(b) [Reserved].

(c) Amend, supplement, waive or otherwise modify any of the provisions of any Restricted Indebtedness (excluding for this purpose any Restricted Indebtedness the proceeds of which were used to refinance, refund, replace, renew, repay, restructure or extend the Senior Notes or any refinancing thereof, that was incurred under any provision of Subsection 8.13 other than Subsection 8.13(i)(ii)) in a manner that (A) shortens the maturity date of the Indebtedness incurred thereunder to a date prior to the date that is 91 days after the Termination Date or (B) provides for a shorter weighted average life to maturity, at the time of issuance or incurrence, than the remaining weighted average life to maturity of the Indebtedness that is refinanced, refunded, replaced, renewed, repaid, restructured or extended (provided that compliance with this restriction shall be determined ignoring the effect of any payment of customary upfront fees or any permanent prepayment of such Indebtedness, in each case based on market conditions at the time of the applicable amendment, supplement, waiver or other modification). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Subsection 8.6(c) shall not restrict or prohibit any refinancing of Indebtedness (in whole or in part) with the proceeds of any Indebtedness otherwise permitted to be incurred pursuant to Subsection 8.13.

(d) [Reserved].

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing the Parent Borrower shall be permitted to make the following optional payments, repurchases and redemptions (“Optional Payments”) in respect of Restricted Indebtedness:

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Agents and the Other Representatives shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except, in the case of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Issuing Lender, those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against any Agent or the Other Representatives.

(b) Each of the Agents may perform any of their respective duties under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other instruments and agreements referred to herein or therein by or through its respective officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates, or delegate any and all such rights and powers to, any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent (it being understood and agreed, for avoidance of doubt and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, that the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may perform any of their respective duties under the Security Documents by or through one or more of their respective affiliates). Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Section 10 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent.

(c) Except for Subsections 10.5, 10.8(a), 10.8(b), 10.8(c), 10.8(e), 10.13 and (to the extent of the Borrowers’ rights thereunder and the conditions included therein) 10.9, the provisions of this Section 10 are solely for the benefit of the Agents, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, and no Borrower or any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

10.2 The Administrative Agent and Affiliates. Each person serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include each person serving as an Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such person and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with any Holding Company, the Parent Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such person were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

183

10.3 Action by an Agent. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, each Agent shall act solely as an agent for the Lenders and, as applicable, the other Secured Parties, and no Agent assumes any (and shall not be deemed to have assumed any) relationship of agency or trust with or for the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. Each Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact (including the Collateral Agent in the case of the Administrative Agent), and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact or counsel selected by it with reasonable care.

10.4 Exculpatory Provisions. (a) No Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Agent:

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

(ii) shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that such Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that such Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its judgment or the judgment of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Requirement of Law; and

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

(b) No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (x) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as such Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Subsection 9.2 or 11.1, as applicable) or (y) in the absence of its own bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to such Agent by a Borrower, a Lender or an Issuing Lender.

184

(c) No Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Documents or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 6 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term as used merely as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

(d) Each party to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent may use an outside service provider for the tracking of all UCC financing statements required to be filed pursuant to the Loan Documents and notification to the Administrative Agent, of, among other things, the upcoming lapse or expiration thereof, and that any such service provider will be deemed to be acting at the request and on behalf of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties. No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by any such service provider.

10.5 Acknowledgement and Representations by Lenders. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender expressly acknowledges that none of the Agents or the Other Representatives nor any of their officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent or any Other Representative hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Parent Borrower or any other Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Agent or such Other Representative to any Lender. Each Lender further represents and warrants to the Agents, the Other Representatives and each of the Loan Parties that it has had the opportunity to review each document made available to it on the Platform in connection with this Agreement and has acknowledged and accepted the terms and conditions applicable to the recipients thereof. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender represents to the Agents, the Other Representatives and each of the Loan Parties that, independently and without reliance upon any Agent, the Other Representatives or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, it has made and will make, its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of any Holding Company and the Parent Borrower and the other Loan Parties, it has made its own decision to make its Loans or issue Letters of Credit hereunder and enter into this Agreement and it will make its own decisions in taking or not taking any action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, neither the Agents nor any Other Representative shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender or the holder of any Note with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter. Each Lender (other than, in the case of clause (i), an Affiliated Lender, any Parent Entity (other than any Holding Company) or any Unrestricted Subsidiary) and each Issuing Lender represents to each other party hereto (i) that it is a bank, savings and loan association or other similar savings institution, insurance company, investment

185

fund or company or other financial institution which makes or acquires commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business, that it is participating hereunder as a Lender or Issuing Lender, as applicable, for such commercial purposes, and (ii) that it has the knowledge and experience to be and is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of being a Lender hereunder. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender acknowledges and agrees to comply with the provisions of Subsection 11.6 applicable to the Lenders and Issuing Lenders hereunder.

10.6 Indemnity; Reimbursement by Lenders. (a) To the extent that the Parent Borrower or any other Loan Party for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Subsection 11.5 to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Collateral Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lender or any Other Representative or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay ratably according to their respective Commitment Percentages in effect on the date on which the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought under this Subsection 10.6 (or, if the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with their Commitment Percentages, immediately prior to such date) such unpaid amount (such indemnity shall be effective whether or not the related losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses are incurred or asserted by any party hereto or any third party); provided that (i) the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Collateral Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Lenders in their capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Collateral Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Swingline Lender or Issuing Lenders in connection with such capacity and (ii) such indemnity for the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Lenders shall not include losses incurred by the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Lenders due to one or more Lenders defaulting in their obligations to purchase participations of Swingline Exposure under Subsections 2.4(c) and 2.4(d) or L/C Obligations under Subsection 3.4 (it being understood that this proviso shall not affect the Swingline Lender’s or any Issuing Lender’s rights against any Defaulting Lender). The obligations of the Lenders under this Subsection 10.6 are subject to the provisions of Subsection 4.8.

(b) Any Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Loan Document (except actions expressly required to be taken by it hereunder or under the Loan Documents) unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

(c) All amounts due under this Subsection 10.6 shall be payable not later than three Business Days after demand therefor. The agreements in this Subsection 10.6 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

10.7 Right to Request and Act on Instructions. (a) Each Agent may at any time request instructions from the Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the Loan Documents an Agent is permitted or desires to take or to grant, and if such instructions are promptly requested, the requesting Agent shall be

186

absolutely entitled as between itself and the Lenders to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever to any Lender for refraining from any action or withholding any approval under any of the Loan Documents until it shall have received such instructions from the Required Lenders or all or such other portion of the Lenders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against any Agent as a result of an Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders (or all or such other portion of the Lenders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement) and, notwithstanding the instructions of the Required Lenders (or such other applicable portion of the Lenders), an Agent shall have no obligation to any Lender to take any action if it believes, in good faith, that such action would violate applicable law or exposes an Agent to any liability for which it has not received satisfactory indemnification in accordance with the provisions of Subsection 10.6.

(b) Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such Issuing Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such Issuing Lender prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with such advice.

10.8 Collateral Matters. (a) Each Lender authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to enter into (x) the Security Documents, the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement, any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement and any Other Intercreditor Agreement for the benefit of the Lenders and the other Secured Parties, (y) any amendments, amendments and restatements, restatements or waivers of or supplements to or other modifications to the Security Documents, the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement, any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement and any Other Intercreditor Agreement or other intercreditor agreements in connection with the incurrence by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof of Additional Indebtedness (each an “Intercreditor Agreement Supplement”) to permit such Additional Indebtedness to be secured by a valid, perfected lien (with such priority as may be designated by the Parent Borrower or relevant Subsidiary, to the extent such priority is permitted by the Loan Documents) and (z) any amendments provided for under Subsections 2.6, 2.7 and 2.8, respectively. Each Lender hereby agrees, and each holder of any Note or participant in Letters of Credit by the acceptance thereof will be deemed to agree, that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Security

187

Documents, the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement, any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement, any Other Intercreditor Agreement, any Intercreditor Agreement Supplement, or any agreement required in connection with an Incremental Facility pursuant to Subsection 2.6, any agreement required in connection with a Refinancing Amendment pursuant to Subsection 2.7 and any agreement required in connection with an Extension Offer pursuant to Subsection 2.8, and the exercise by the Agents or the Required Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. The Collateral Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all of the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time, to take any action with respect to any applicable Collateral or Security Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the security interest in and liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Security Documents. Each Lender agrees that it will not have any right individually to enforce or seek to enforce any Security Document or to realize upon any Collateral for the Loans unless instructed to do so by the Collateral Agent, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised only by the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent may grant extensions of time for the creation and perfection of security interests in or the obtaining of title insurance, legal opinions or other deliverables with respect to particular assets or the provision of any guarantee by any Subsidiary (including extensions beyond the Closing Date or in connection with assets acquired, or Subsidiaries formed or acquired, after the Closing Date) where it determines that such action cannot be accomplished without undue effort or expense by the time or times at which it would otherwise be required to be accomplished by this Agreement or the Security Documents.

(b) The Lenders hereby authorize each Agent, in each case at its option and in its discretion, (A) to release any Lien granted to or held by such Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of the Commitments, payment and satisfaction of all of the Obligations under the Loan Documents at any time arising under or in respect of this Agreement or the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby that are then due and unpaid and termination (or cash collateralization on terms acceptable to the Issuing Lender) of all Letters of Credit, (ii) constituting property being sold or otherwise disposed of (to Persons other than a Loan Party) upon the sale or other disposition thereof, (iii) owned by any Subsidiary Guarantor which becomes an Excluded Subsidiary or ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower or constituting Capital Stock or other equity interests of an Excluded Subsidiary, (iv) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or such greater amount, to the extent required by Subsection 11.1), (v) constituting Term Loan Priority Collateral upon the “Discharge of Term Loan Collateral Obligations” (as defined in the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement) or (vi) as otherwise may be expressly provided in the relevant Security Documents, (B) at the written request of the Borrower Representative to subordinate any Lien (or to confirm the absence of any Lien) on any Excluded Assets or any other property granted to or held by such Agent, as the case may be under any Loan Document, to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Subsection 8.14, (C) to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its Obligations under any Loan Documents to which it is a party if such Person ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent Borrower or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary and (D) to release any Lien granted to or held by such Agent upon any Term Loan Priority Collateral to the extent required pursuant to the terms of the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement or any Other Intercreditor Agreement. Upon request by any Agent, at any time, the Required Lenders or all or such other portion of the Lenders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement will confirm in writing any Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Subsection 10.8.

188

(c) The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, in each case at its option and in its discretion, to enter into any amendment, amendment and restatement, restatement, waiver, supplement or modification, and to make or consent to any filings or to take any other actions, in each case as contemplated by Subsection 11.17. Upon request by any Agent, at any time, the Required Lenders or all or such other portion of the Lenders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s and the Collateral Agent’s authority under this Subsection 10.8(c).

(d) No Agent shall have any obligation whatsoever to the Lenders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Holding Company, the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to any Agent herein or pursuant hereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Agents in this Subsection 10.8 or in any of the Security Documents, it being understood and agreed by the Lenders that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, each Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given such Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as a Lender and that no Agent shall have any duty or liability whatsoever to the Lenders, except for its bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(e) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, any Security Document may be amended (or amended and restated), restated, waived, supplemented or modified as contemplated by and in accordance with either Subsection 11.1 or 11.17, as applicable, with the written consent of the Agent party thereto and the Loan Party party thereto.

(f) The Collateral Agent may, and hereby does, appoint the Administrative Agent as its agent for the purposes of holding any Collateral and/or perfecting the Collateral Agent’s security interest therein and for the purpose of taking such other action with respect to the collateral as such Agents may from time to time agree.

10.9 Successor Agent. Subject to the appointment of a successor as set forth herein, (i) the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may be removed by the Borrower Representative or the Required Lenders if the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or a controlling affiliate of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is a Defaulting Lender and (ii) the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may resign as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, respectively, in each case upon 10 days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Borrower Representative, as applicable. If the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall be removed by the Borrower Representative or the Required Lenders pursuant to clause (i) above or if the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which such successor agent shall be subject to approval by the Borrower Representative; provided that such

189

approval by the Borrower Representative in connection with the appointment of any successor Administrative Agent shall only be required so long as no Event of Default under Subsection 9.1(a) or 9.1(f) has occurred and is continuing; provided, further, that the Borrower Representative shall not unreasonably withhold its approval of any successor Administrative Agent if such successor is a commercial bank with a consolidated combined capital and surplus of at least $5,000,000,000. Upon the successful appointment of a successor agent, such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, and the term “Administrative Agent” or “Collateral Agent”, as applicable, shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans or issuers of Letters of Credit. After any retiring Agent’s resignation or removal as Agent, the provisions of this Section 10 (including this Subsection 10.9) shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. After the resignation or removal of any Administrative Agent pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Subsection 10.9, such resigning or removed Administrative Agent (x) shall not be required to act as Issuing Lender for any Letters of Credit to be issued after the date of such resignation or removal (and all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the resigning Issuing Lender shall be paid in full upon its resignation or removal) and (y) shall not be required to act as Swingline Lender with respect to Swingline Loans to be made after the date of such resignation or removal (and all outstanding Swingline Loans of such resigning or removed Administrative Agent shall be required to be repaid in full upon its resignation or removal), although the resigning or removed Administrative Agent shall retain all rights hereunder as Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by it, and all Swingline Loans made by it, prior to the effectiveness of its resignation or removal as Administrative Agent hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower Representative to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower Representative and such successor.

10.10 Swingline Lender. The provisions of this Section 10 shall apply to the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such to the same extent that such provisions apply to the Administrative Agent.

10.11 Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable law, each Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax, and in no event shall such Agent be required to be responsible for or pay any additional amount with respect to any such withholding. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that any 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 such Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from or reduction of withholding tax ineffective or for any other reason, without limiting the provisions of Subsection 4.11(a) or 4.12, such Lender shall indemnify such Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by such Agent as tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with any expenses incurred and shall make payable in respect thereof within 30 days after demand therefor. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent

190

shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this Subsection 10.11. The agreements in this Subsection 10.11 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations. For purposes of this Subsection 10.11, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Lender.

10.12 Other Representatives. None of the entities identified as joint bookrunners and joint lead arrangers pursuant to the definition of Other Representative contained herein, shall have any duties or responsibilities hereunder or under any other Loan Document in its capacity as such. Without limiting the foregoing, no Other Representative shall have nor be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender. At any time that any Lender serving as an Other Representative shall have transferred to any other Person (other than any of its affiliates) all of its interests in the Loans and in the Commitments, such Lender shall be deemed to have concurrently resigned as such Other Representative.

10.13 Appointment of Borrower Representatives. Each Borrower hereby designates the Parent Borrower as its Borrower Representative. The Borrower Representative will be acting as agent on each Borrower’s behalf for the purposes of issuing notices of Borrowing and notices of conversion/continuation of any Loans pursuant to Section 2 and Section 4 or similar notices, giving instructions with respect to the disbursement of the proceeds of the Loans, selecting interest rate options, requesting Letters of Credit, giving and receiving all other notices and consents hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents and taking all other actions (including in respect of compliance with covenants) on behalf of any Borrower or the Borrowers under the Loan Documents. The Borrower Representative hereby accepts such appointment. Each Borrower agrees that each notice, election, representation and warranty, covenant, agreement and undertaking made on its behalf by the Borrower Representative shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such Borrower and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Borrower to the same extent as if the same had been made directly by such Borrower.

10.14 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any Bankruptcy Proceeding or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrowers) is hereby authorized by the Lenders, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans 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, and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Subsections 4.5 and 11.5) allowed in such judicial proceeding;

191

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Subsections 4.5 and 11.5.

10.15 Application of Proceeds. The Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent agree, as among such parties, as follows: subject to the terms of the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement, any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any Other Intercreditor Agreement, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all amounts collected or received by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender on account of amounts then due and outstanding under any of the Loan Documents (the “Collection Amounts”) shall, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, be applied as follows: first, to pay interest on and then principal of Agent Advances then outstanding, second, to pay interest on and then principal of Swingline Loans then outstanding, third, to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent provided herein) due and owing hereunder of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent in connection with enforcing the rights of the Agents, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders under the Loan Documents (including all expenses of sale or other realization of or in respect of the Collateral and any sums advanced to the Collateral Agent or to preserve its security interest in the Collateral), fourth, to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent provided herein) due and owing hereunder of each of the Lenders and each of the Issuing Lenders in connection with enforcing such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents, fifth, to pay (on a ratable basis) (A) interest on and then principal of Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding and any Reimbursement Obligations then outstanding, and to cash collateralize any outstanding L/C Obligations on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (B) any outstanding obligations payable under (i) Designated Cash Management Agreements, up to the amount of Designated Cash Management Reserves then in effect with respect thereto and (ii) Designated Hedging Agreements up to the amount of Designated Hedging Reserves then in effect with respect thereto, sixth, to pay obligations under Cash Management Arrangements with any Cash Management Party (other than pursuant to any Designated Cash Management Agreements, but including any amounts not paid pursuant to clause “fifth”(B)(i) above), Permitted Hedging Arrangements (other than pursuant to any Designated Hedging Agreements, but including any amounts not paid pursuant to clause “fifth”(B)(ii) above) and Management Guarantees entered into with any Management Credit Provider (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) permitted hereunder and secured by the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, and seventh, to pay the surplus, if any, to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus. To the extent that any amounts available for distribution pursuant to clause “fifth” above are attributable to the issued but undrawn amount of outstanding Letters of Credit which are then not yet required to be reimbursed hereunder, such amounts shall be held by the Collateral Agent in a cash collateral account and applied (x) first, to reimburse the applicable

192

Issuing Lender from time to time for any drawings under such Letters of Credit and (y) then, following the expiration of all Letters of Credit, to all other obligations of the types described in such clause “fifth”. To the extent any amounts available for distribution pursuant to clause “fifth” are insufficient to pay all obligations described therein in full, such moneys shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders and Issuing Lenders based on their respective Commitment Percentages. This Subsection 10.15 may be amended (and the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any such amendment) to the extent necessary to reflect differing amounts payable, and priorities of payments, to Lenders participating in any new classes or tranches of loans added pursuant to Subsections 2.6, 2.7 and 2.8, as applicable.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Excluded Obligations (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) with respect to any Guarantor shall not be paid with amounts received from such Guarantor or its assets and such Excluded Obligations shall be disregarded in any application of Collection Amounts pursuant to the preceding paragraph.

193

waivers or modifications of, any conditions precedent, representations, warranties, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of a mandatory repayment or mandatory reduction in the aggregate Commitments of all Lenders shall not constitute an increase of the Commitment of, or an extension of the scheduled date of maturity, any scheduled installment, or the scheduled date of payment of the Loans of, any Lender, and that an increase in the available portion of any Commitment of any Lender shall not constitute an increase in the Commitment of such Lender);

(b) Any waiver and any amendment, supplement or modification pursuant to this Subsection 11.1 shall apply to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Agents and all future holders of the Loans.

(d) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended (i) to cure any ambiguity, mistake, omission, defect or inconsistency, with the consent of the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent, (ii) in accordance with Subsection 2.6, to incorporate the terms of any Incremental Facility with the written consent of the Borrower Representative and Lenders providing such Incremental Facility, (iii) by a Refinancing Amendment in accordance with Subsection 2.7, with the written consent of the Borrower Representative and the Lenders providing such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness, (iv) in accordance with Subsection 2.8, to effectuate an Extension with the written consent of the Borrower Representative and the Extending Lenders, (v) pursuant to the Canadian Facility Amendment in accordance with Subsection 2.9, to incorporate the terms of the Canadian Facility with the written consent of the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent, (vi) in accordance with Subsection 7.11, to change the financial reporting convention and (vii) to waive, amend or modify this Agreement or any other Loan Document in a manner that by its terms affects the rights or duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document of Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of a particular Tranche (but not the

195

Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of any other Tranche), by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the applicable Borrower(s) and the requisite percentage in interest of the Lenders with respect to such Tranche that would be required to consent thereto under this Subsection 11.1 if such Lenders were the only Lenders hereunder at the time. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including Subsection 4.4, 4.8, 4.16 or 10.15, may be amended as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence to provide for non-pro rata borrowings and payments of any amounts hereunder as between any tranche hereunder (including any tranche of Extended ABL Term Loans, Extended Revolving Commitments or Incremental Revolving Commitments and any other tranche created pursuant to Subsection 2.6, 2.7 or 2.8), or to provide for the inclusion, as appropriate, of the Lenders of any tranche of Extended ABL Term Loans, Extended Revolving Commitments or Incremental Revolving Commitments or of any other tranche created pursuant to Subsection 2.6, 2.7 or 2.8 in any required vote or action of the Required Lenders, the Supermajority Lenders or the Lenders of each Tranche hereunder. The Administrative Agent hereby agrees (if requested by the Borrower Representative) to execute any amendment referred to in this clause (d) or an acknowledgement thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the L/C Commitment of any Issuing Lender listed on Schedule 1.1(j) hereto may be modified with the consent of the Borrower Representative, such Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent (and without the consent of any Lender).

(e) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, this Agreement may be amended (or deemed amended) or amended and restated with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers (x) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the existing Facilities and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof, (y) to include, as appropriate, the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any required vote or action of the Required Lenders or of the Lenders of each Facility hereunder and (z) to provide class protection for any additional credit facilities.

(f) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, any Security Document may be amended (or amended and restated), restated, waived, supplemented or modified as contemplated by Subsection 11.17 with the written consent of the Agent party thereto and the Loan Party party thereto.

(g) If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination of or to any of the provisions of this Agreement and/or any other Loan Document as contemplated by Subsection 11.1(a), the consent of the Supermajority Lenders, each Lender or each affected Lender, as applicable, is required and the consent of the Required Lenders at such time is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (each such other Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) then the Borrower Representative may, on notice to the Administrative Agent and the Non-Consenting Lender, (A) replace such Non-Consenting Lender by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to Subsection 11.6 (with the assignment fee and any other costs and expenses to be paid by the Borrower Representative in such instance) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more assignees; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrower Representative

196

to find a replacement Lender; provided, further, that the applicable assignee shall have agreed to the applicable change, waiver, discharge or termination of this Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents; and provided, further, that all obligations of the Borrowers owing to the Non-Consenting Lender relating to the Loans and participations so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender (or, at the Borrower Representative’s option, by a Borrower) to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such Assignment and Acceptance or (B) so long as no Event of Default under Subsection 9.1(a) or 9.1(f) then exists or will exist immediately after giving effect to the respective prepayment, prepay the Loans and, at the Borrower Representative’s option, terminate the Commitments of such Non-Consenting Lender, in whole or in part, subject to Subsection 4.12, without premium or penalty. In connection with any such replacement under this Subsection 11.1(g), if the Non-Consenting Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance and/or any other documentation necessary to reflect such replacement by the later of (a) the date on which the replacement Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation and (b) the date as of which all obligations of the Borrowers owing to the Non-Consenting Lender relating to the Loans and participations so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such Non-Consenting Lender, then such Non-Consenting Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation as of such date and the applicable Borrower shall be entitled (but not obligated) to execute and deliver such Assignment and Acceptance and/or such other documentation on behalf of such Non-Consenting Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall record such assignment in the Register.

11.2 Notices. (a) All notices, requests, and demands to or upon the respective parties hereto to be effective shall be in writing (including facsimile or electronic mail), and, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly given or made when delivered by hand, or three days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, or, in the case of facsimile notice or electronic mail, when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next Business Day) or, in the case of delivery by a nationally recognized overnight courier, when received, addressed as follows in the case of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, and as set forth in Schedule A in the case of the other parties hereto, or to such other address as may be hereafter notified by the respective parties hereto and any future holders of the Loans:

(c) Loan Documents may be transmitted and/or signed by facsimile or other electronic means (i.e., a “pdf” or “tiff”). The effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable law, have the same force and effect as manually signed originals and shall be binding on each Loan Party, each Agent and each Lender. The Administrative Agent may also require that any such documents and signatures be confirmed by a manually signed original thereof; provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any facsimile or other electronic document or signature.

198

(g) All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

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

11.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties.

199

The Borrowers, jointly and severally, agree (a) to pay or reimburse the Agents and the Other Representatives for (1) all their reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with (i) the syndication of the Facilities and the development, preparation, execution and delivery of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, (ii) the consummation and administration of the transactions (including the syndication of the Initial Revolving Commitments) contemplated hereby and thereby and (iii) efforts to monitor the Loans and verify, protect, evaluate, assess, appraise, collect, sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral, and (2) the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, solely in its capacity as counsel to the Agents and Other Representatives, and such other special or local counsel, consultants, advisors, appraisers and auditors whose retention (other than during the continuance of an Event of Default) is approved by the Borrower Representative, (b) to pay or reimburse each Lender and Issuing Lender, each Lead Arranger and the Agents for all their reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, including the fees and disbursements of counsel to the Agents (limited to one firm of counsel for the Agents and, if necessary one firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction, in each case for the Agents), (c) to pay, indemnify, or reimburse each Lender and Issuing Lender, each Lead Arranger and the Agents for, and hold each Lender, each Lead Arranger and the Agents harmless from, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any stamp, documentary, excise and other similar taxes, if any, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution, delivery or enforcement of, or consummation or administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, and (d) to pay, indemnify or reimburse each Lender and Issuing Lender, each Lead Arranger, each Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Issuing Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each, an “Indemnitee”) for, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against, any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (in the case of fees and disbursements of counsel, limited to one firm of counsel for all Indemnitees and, if necessary, one firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction, in each case for all Indemnitees (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where the Indemnitee affected by such conflict informs the Borrower Representative of such conflict and thereafter, after receipt of the Borrower Representative’s consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), retains its own counsel, of another firm of counsel for such affected Indemnitee)) arising out of or relating to any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, brought by a third party or by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, with respect to (i) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including any of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the Loans or Letters of Credit (including any refusal by an Issuing Lender to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit) or (ii) the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law applicable to the operations of the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or any of the property of the Parent Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (all the foregoing in this clause (d), collectively,

200

the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that the Borrowers shall not have any obligation hereunder to any Lead Arranger, any Other Representative, any Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), any Issuing Lender or any Lender (or any Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons) with respect to Indemnified Liabilities arising from (i) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of any such Lead Arranger, Other Representative, Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), Issuing Lender or Lender (or any Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons), as the case may be, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision, (ii) a material breach of the Loan Documents by any such Lead Arranger, Other Representative, Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), Issuing Lender or Lender (or any Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons), as the case may be, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision, or (iii) claims against such Indemnitee or any Related Party brought by any other Indemnitee that do not involve claims against any Lead Arranger or Agent in its capacity as such. None of the Borrowers nor any Indemnitee shall be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages hereunder; provided that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the Borrowers’ indemnity or reimbursement obligations under this Subsection 11.5 to the extent such indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages are included in any third-party claim in connection with which such Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder. All amounts due under this Subsection 11.5 shall be payable not later than 30 days after written demand therefor. Statements reflecting amounts payable by the Loan Parties pursuant to this Subsection 11.5 shall be submitted to the address of the Borrower Representative set forth in Subsection 11.2, or to such other Person or address as may be hereafter designated by the Borrower Representative in a notice to the Administrative Agent.

11.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any affiliate of the applicable Issuing Lender that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) other than in accordance with Subsection 8.2, none of the Loan Parties may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Loan Party without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with Subsection 4.13(d), Subsection 4.15(c), Subsection 11.1(g) and this Subsection 11.6.

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in Subsection 11.6(b)(ii) below, any Lender other than a Conduit Lender may, in the ordinary course of business and in accordance with applicable law, assign (other than to a Disqualified Lender, to any natural person or, subject, in the case of ABL Term Loans only, to Subsection 11.6(h)(i)(3) below, to any Holding Company, the Parent Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries) to one or more assignees (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including its Commitments and/or Loans, pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance) with the prior written consent of:

201

(A) the Borrower Representative (in the case of a commercial bank with a consolidated combined capital and surplus of at least $5.0 billion, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld); provided that no consent of the Borrower Representative shall be required for an assignment if an Event of Default under Subsection 9.1(a) or 9.1(f) with respect to the Parent Borrower has occurred and is continuing, to any other Person; and

(B) the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender (in the case of a commercial bank with a consolidated combined capital and surplus of at least $5,000,000,000, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

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

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or Loans under any Facility, the amount of the Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof or unless the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that (1) no such consent of the Borrower Representative shall be required if an Event of Default under Subsection 9.1(a) or 9.1(f) with respect to the Parent Borrower has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its Affiliates, if any;

(B) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (unless waived by the Administrative Agent in any given case); provided that for concurrent assignments to two or more Lenders or Affiliates of a Lender, such assignment fee shall only be required to be paid once in respect of and at the time of such assignments;

(C) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire; and

(D) any assignment of Commitments, Loans or ABL Term Loans to an Affiliated Lender shall also be subject to the requirements of Subsections 11.6(h) and (i).

202

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall be permitted to make assignments under this Agreement to any Disqualified Lender, except to the extent the Borrower Representative has consented to such assignment in writing and any such assignment and Disqualified Lender shall be subject to the provisions of Subsection 11.6(j), except to the extent the Borrower Representative has otherwise expressly consented in writing.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to clause (b)(iv) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of (and bound by any related obligations under) Subsections 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.15 and 11.5, and bound by its continuing obligations under Subsection 11.16). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with Subsection 4.13(d), Subsection 4.15(c), Subsection 11.1(g) and this Subsection 11.6 shall, to the extent it would comply with Subsection 11.6(c), be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with clause (c) of this Subsection 11.6 (and any attempted assignment, transfer or participation which does not comply with this Subsection 11.6 shall be null and void).

(iv) The Borrowers hereby collectively designate the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent agrees, to serve as the Borrowers’ agent, solely for purposes of this Subsection 11.6, to maintain at one of its offices in New York, New York a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and interest and principal amounts of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers, the Issuing Lender and, solely with respect to entries applicable to such Lender, any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In no event shall the Administrative Agent be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any prospective assignee is a Disqualified Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Administrative Agent be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Lender is an Affiliated Lender nor shall the Administrative Agent be obligated to monitor the aggregate amount of ABL Term Loans or Incremental

203

ABL Term Loans held by Affiliated Lenders. Upon request by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) promptly (and in any case, not less than five Business Days (or shorter period as agreed to by the Administrative Agent) prior to the proposed effective date of any amendment, consent or waiver pursuant to Subsection 11.1) provide to the Administrative Agent, a list of, to the Borrower Representative’s knowledge, all Affiliated Lenders holding ABL Term Loans or Incremental ABL Term Loans at the time of such notice and (ii) not less than five Business Days (or shorter period as agreed to by the Administrative Agent) prior to the proposed effective date of any amendment, consent or waiver pursuant to Subsection 11.1, provide to the Administrative Agent, a list of, to the Borrower Representative’s knowledge, all Affiliated Debt Funds holding ABL Term Loans or Incremental ABL Term Loans at the time of such notice.

(v) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting for itself and, solely for this purpose, as an agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary (x) to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations or (y) for any Borrower to enforce its rights hereunder. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and a Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(vi) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender (unless such assignment is being made in accordance with Subsection 4.13(d), Subsection 4.15(c), or Subsection 11.1(g), in which case the effectiveness of such Assignment and Acceptance shall not require execution by the assigning Lender) and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in this Subsection 11.6(b) and any written consent to such assignment required by this Subsection 11.6(b), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance, record the information contained therein in the Register and give prompt notice of such assignment and recordation to the Borrower Representative. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this clause (vi).

204

(vii) On or prior to the effective date of any assignment pursuant to this Subsection 11.6(b), the assigning Lender shall surrender to the Administrative Agent any outstanding Notes held by it evidencing Loans or Commitments, as applicable, which are being assigned. Any Notes surrendered by the assigning Lender shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower Representative marked “cancelled”.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Subsection 11.6(b) or any other provision of this Agreement, if the Borrower Representative shall have consented thereto in writing in its sole discretion, the Administrative Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to effectuate assignments of Loans and Commitments via an electronic settlement system acceptable to Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative as designated in writing from time to time to the Lenders by Administrative Agent (the “Settlement Service”). At any time when the Administrative Agent elects, in its sole discretion, to implement such Settlement Service, each such assignment shall be effected by the assigning Lender and proposed Assignee pursuant to the procedures then in effect under the Settlement Service, which procedures shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Borrower Representative and shall be consistent with the other provisions of this Subsection 11.6(b). Each assigning Lender and proposed Assignee shall comply with the requirements of the Settlement Service in connection with effecting any assignment of Loans and Commitments pursuant to the Settlement Service. Assignments and assumptions of the Loans and Commitments shall be effected by the provisions otherwise set forth herein until the Administrative Agent notifies the Lenders of the Settlement Service as set forth herein. The Borrower Representative may withdraw its consent to the use of the Settlement Service at any time upon notice to the Administrative Agent, and thereafter assignments and assumptions of the Loans and Commitments shall be effected by the provisions otherwise set forth herein.

Furthermore, no Assignee, which as of the date of any assignment to it pursuant to this Subsection 11.6(b) would be entitled to receive any greater payment under Subsection 4.10, 4.11, 4.12 or 11.5 than the assigning Lender would have been entitled to receive as of such date under such Subsections with respect to the rights assigned, shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, be entitled to receive such greater payments unless the assignment was made after an Event of Default under Subsection 9.1(a) or 9.1(f) has occurred and is continuing or the Borrower Representative has expressly consented in writing to waive the benefit of this provision at the time of such assignment.

(c) (i) Any Lender other than a Conduit Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, without the consent of the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, sell participations (other than to any Disqualified Lender, or a natural person or the Parent Borrower or any of the Parent Borrower’s Affiliates or its Subsidiaries (other than Permitted Affiliated Assignees)) to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (C) such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Loan for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (D) the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this

205

Agreement, (E) in the case of any participation to a Permitted Affiliated Assignee, such participation shall be governed by the provisions of Subsection 11.6(h) (other than subclauses (i) and (iii) thereof) to the same extent as if each reference therein to an assignment of a Loan were to a participation of a Loan and the references to Affiliated Lender were to such Permitted Affiliated Assignee in its capacity as a participant, and (F) the applicable Lender shall have provided the Parent Borrower with not less than five Business Days’ advance notice of such participation. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, supplement, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to clause (i) or (iii) of the second proviso to the second sentence of Subsection 11.1(a) and (2) directly affects such Participant. Subject to Subsection 11.6(c)(ii), each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of (and shall have the related obligations under) Subsections 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.15 and 11.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Subsection 11.6(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Subsection 11.7(b) as though it were a Lender, provided that such Participant shall be subject to Subsection 11.7(a) as though it were a Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall be permitted to sell or maintain a participation under this Agreement to or with any Disqualified Lender and any participation to a Person that is or at any time becomes a Disqualified Lender shall be null and void, except to the extent the Borrower Representative has expressly consented to such participation in writing; provided that if any such participation by a Lender is subject to a sub-participation by such Disqualified Lender to a Person that is not a Disqualified Lender or natural person, and such sub-participation if made as a participation directly by such Lender would comply with Subsection 11.6, such sub-participant shall have the right to assume all of the rights and obligations of such Disqualified Lender under such participation and thereby become a Participant hereunder in substitution for such Disqualified Lender (it being understood that such sub-participant shall, prior to the effectiveness of such assumption, provide to such Lender that sold or maintained such participation all documentation and information as is reasonably required by such Lender pursuant to “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations and execute and deliver an appropriate assumption agreement to effect such substitution on terms and conditions mutually agreed between such sub-participant and such Lender, and such Disqualified Lender shall thereupon be deemed to have executed and delivered such assumption agreement). Any such participation and Disqualified Lender not permitted prior to the foregoing sentence shall be subject to the provisions of Subsection 11.6(j), except to the extent the Borrower Representative has otherwise expressly consented in writing. Any attempted participation which does not comply with Subsection 11.6 shall be null and void.

(ii) No Loan Party shall be obligated to make any greater payment under Subsection 4.10, 4.11, 4.12 or 11.5 than it would have been obligated to make in the absence of any participation, unless the sale of such participation is made with the prior written consent of the Borrower Representative and the Borrower Representative expressly waives the benefit of this provision at the time of such participation. Any Participant that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof shall not be entitled to the benefits of Subsection 4.11 unless such Participant complies with Subsection 4.11(b) and provides the forms and certificates referenced therein to the Lender that granted such participation.

206

(d) Any Lender, without the consent of the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or central bank of a member state of the European Union, and this Subsection 11.6 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute (by foreclosure or otherwise) any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(e) No assignment or participation made or purported to be made to any Assignee or Participant shall be effective without the prior written consent of the Borrower Representative if it would require any Borrower to make any filing with any Governmental Authority or qualify any Loan or Note under the laws of any jurisdiction, and the Borrower Representative shall be entitled to request and receive such information and assurances as it may reasonably request from any Lender or any Assignee or Participant to determine whether any such filing or qualification is required or whether any assignment or participation is otherwise in accordance with applicable law.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign any or all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder to its designating Lender without the consent of the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent and without regard to the limitations set forth in Subsection 11.6(b). Each Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any domestic or foreign bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state, federal or provincial bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance. Each such indemnifying Lender shall pay in full any claim received from each such Borrower pursuant to this Subsection 11.6(f) within 30 Business Days of receipt of a certificate from a Responsible Officer of the Borrower Representative specifying in reasonable detail the cause and amount of the loss, cost, damage or expense in respect of which the claim is being asserted, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Without limiting the indemnification obligations of any indemnifying Lender pursuant to this Subsection 11.6(f), in the event that the indemnifying Lender fails timely to compensate each such Borrower for such claim, any Loans held by the relevant Conduit Lender shall, if requested by the Borrower Representative, be assigned promptly to the Lender that administers the Conduit Lender and the designation of such Conduit Lender shall be void.

207

(g) If the Borrower Representative wishes to replace the Loans or Commitments under any Facility with ones having different terms, it shall have the option, with the consent of the Administrative Agent and subject to at least three Business Days’ (or such shorter period as agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) advance notice to the Lenders under such Facility, instead of prepaying the Loans or reducing or terminating the Commitments to be replaced, to (i) require the Lenders under such Facility to assign such Loans or Commitments to the Administrative Agent or its designees and (ii) amend the terms thereof in accordance with Subsection 11.1. Pursuant to any such assignment, (x) all Loans to be replaced shall be purchased at par (allocated among the Lenders under such Facility in the same manner as would be required if such Loans were being optionally prepaid), accompanied by payment of any accrued interest and fees thereon and any amounts owing pursuant to Subsection 4.12 and (y) all Commitments to be replaced shall be allocated among the Lenders under such Facility in the same manner as would be required if such Commitments were being optionally reduced or terminated by the Borrowers, accompanied by payment of any accrued fees thereon and any amounts owing pursuant to Subsection 4.12. By receiving such purchase price (including accrued interest, fees and indemnity payments), the Lenders under such Facility shall automatically be deemed to have assigned the Loans or Commitments under such Facility pursuant to the terms of the form of the Assignment and Acceptance, the Administrative Agent shall record such assignment in the Register and accordingly no other action by such Lenders shall be required in connection therewith. The provisions of this clause (g) are intended to facilitate the maintenance of the perfection and priority of existing security interests in the Collateral during any such replacement.

(h) (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to any assignment to or by an Affiliated Lender that is not an Affiliated Debt Fund:

(1) such Affiliated Lender and such other Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an assignment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit R hereto (an “Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption”) and the Administrative Agent shall record such assignment in the Register;

(2) at the time of such assignment after giving effect to such assignment, (x) the aggregate principal amount of all ABL Term Loans held (or participated in) by Affiliated Lenders that are not Affiliated Debt Funds shall not exceed 15.0% of the aggregate principal amount of all ABL Term Loans outstanding under this agreement and (y) the aggregate amount of all Commitments held by Affiliated Lenders that are not Affiliated Debt Funds shall not exceed 15.0% of the aggregate amount of all Commitments (such applicable threshold in clause (x) or (y), the “Affiliated Lender Cap”) outstanding under this Agreement; provided that to the extent any assignment to an Affiliated Lender would result in the aggregate amount of all Commitments or ABL Term Loans, as applicable, held by Affiliated Lenders exceeding the Affiliated Lender Cap, the assignment of such excess amount will be void ab initio;

(3) any such ABL Term Loans acquired by (x) any Holding Company, the Parent Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary shall be retired or cancelled promptly upon the acquisition thereof and (y) an Affiliated Lender may, with the consent of the Borrower Representative, be contributed to the Parent Borrower, whether through a Parent Entity or otherwise, and exchanged for debt or equity securities of the Parent Borrower or such Parent Entity that are otherwise permitted to be issued at such time pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, so long as any ABL Term Loans so acquired by the Parent Borrower shall be retired and cancelled promptly upon the acquisition thereof;

208

(4) [reserved]; and

(5) each Lender making such assignment to, or taking such assignment from, such Affiliated Lender acknowledges and agrees that in connection with such assignment, (1) such Affiliated Lender and/or its Affiliates then may have, and later may come into possession of information regarding the Loans or the Loan Parties hereunder that is not known to such Lender and that may be material to a decision by such Lender to enter into such assignment (“Excluded Information”), (2) such Lender has independently and, without reliance on the Affiliated Lender, any Holding Company, the Parent Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their respective Affiliates, has made its own analysis and determination to enter into such assignment notwithstanding such Lender’s lack of knowledge of the Excluded Information and (3) none of the Affiliated Lender, any Holding Company, the Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent, the other Lenders or any of their respective Affiliates shall have any liability to such Lender, and such Lender hereby waives and releases, to the extent permitted by law, any claims such Lender may have against the Affiliated Lender, any Holding Company, the Parent Borrower or its Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent, the other Lenders and their respective Affiliates, under applicable laws or otherwise, with respect to the nondisclosure of the Excluded Information. Each Lender entering into such an assignment further acknowledges that the Excluded Information may not be available to the Administrative Agent or the other Lenders.

Each Affiliated Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days) if it acquires any Person who is also a Lender, and each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days) if it becomes an Affiliated Lender.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Affiliated Lender that is not an Affiliated Debt Fund shall have any right to (A) attend (including by telephone) any meeting or discussions (or portion thereof) among the Administrative Agent or any Lender to which representatives of the Loan Parties are not invited, (B) receive any information or material prepared by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any communication by or among the Administrative Agent and/or one or more Lenders, except to the extent such information or materials have been made available to the Borrower Representative or its representatives or (C) receive advice of counsel to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Lender or challenge their attorney client privilege.

209

(iii) Notwithstanding anything in Subsection 11.1 or the definition of “Required Lenders” to the contrary, for purposes of determining whether the Required Lenders, all affected Lenders or all Lenders have (A) consented (or not consented) to any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, (B) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document, or (C) directed or required the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, an Affiliated Lender that is not an Affiliated Debt Fund shall be deemed to have voted its interest as a Lender without discretion in the same proportion as the allocation of voting with respect to such matter by Lenders who are not such Affiliated Lenders; provided that, (I) to the extent Lenders are being compensated by the Borrowers for consenting to an amendment, modification, waiver or any other action, each Affiliated Lender who has been deemed to have voted its Loans in accordance with this Subsection 11.6(h)(iii) shall be entitled to be compensated on the same basis as each consenting Lender as if it had voted all of its Loans in favor of the applicable amendment, modification, waiver or other action); (II) no amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any Loan Document shall deprive such Affiliated Lender of its ratable share of any payments of Loans of any class or ABL Term Loans to which such Affiliated Lender is entitled under the Loan Documents without such Affiliated Lender providing its consent; and (III) that such Affiliated Lender shall have the right to approve any amendment, modification, waiver or consent that (x) disproportionately and adversely affects such Affiliated Lender in its capacity as a Lender or affects such Affiliated Lender differently in its capacity as a Lender than other Lenders or (y) is of the type described in Subsections 11.1(a)(i) through (x) (other than subclauses (v) and (vi)); and in furtherance of the foregoing, (x) the Affiliated Lender agrees to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent any instrument reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to evidence the voting of its interest as a Lender in accordance with the provisions of this Subsection 11.6(h)(iii); provided that if the Affiliated Lender fails to promptly execute such instrument such failure shall in no way prejudice any of the Administrative Agent’s rights under this Subsection 11.6(h)(iii) and (y) the Administrative Agent is hereby appointed (such appointment being coupled with an interest) by such Affiliated Lender as such Affiliated Lender’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Affiliated Lender and in the name of such Affiliated Lender, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this Subsection 11.6(h)(iii).
