THE FACILITY

SECTION 2.01 Revolving Advances.

(a) Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and during the term of this Agreement, each Lender agrees (severally, not jointly or jointly and severally) to make advances (each a “Revolving Advance”) to the Borrowers in an amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed such Lender’s Commitment at such time; provided, however, that, after giving effect to any Revolving Advance, the Aggregate Revolver Exposure shall not exceed the Maximum Amount. All Existing Revolving Advances shall be deemed to have been made pursuant hereto, and from and after the Closing Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof.

(b) Anything to the contrary in this SECTION 2.01 notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to establish (without duplication) reserves against the Borrowing Base in such amounts, and with respect to such matters, as the Administrative Agent in its reasonable credit judgment shall deem necessary or appropriate, including (i) reserves with respect to (A) sums that Borrowers are required to pay by any Section of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (such as taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, or, in the case of leased assets, rents or other amounts payable under such leases) and have failed to pay, and (B) amounts owing by Borrowers or their Subsidiaries to any Person to the extent secured by a Lien on, or trust over, any of the Collateral, which Lien or trust, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, likely would have a priority superior to the Collateral Agent’s Lien (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 Collateral; (ii) reserves for obligations owed to financial institutions in which Deposit Accounts or Securities Accounts are maintained; (iii) a reserve for accrued, unpaid interest then due on the Obligations; (iv) reserves for rent at a leased, warehouse or bailment location for which the Collateral Agent has not received a collateral access or similar agreement, which reserve shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) 3 months’ rent or (y) applicable Availability provided by the Eligible Inventory at such location, and reserves for other statutory liens; (v) reserves against availability from Inventory for shrinkage consistent with historical or industry experience in excess of shrinkage taken into account in the calculation of the value of Eligible Inventory; (vi) reserves for taxes, assessments, charges and other governmental levies which are delinquent; (vii) reserves against availability from Accounts for dilution in excess of five percent (5%); (viii) royalties payable by any Credit Party in connection with any Mining Lease or other similar arrangement to the owners of any Real Estate Asset on account of extracted coal from such Real Estate Asset or mining, gathering, extraction, loading, production, treatment, processing, storage or transportation of coal and other minerals (including, without limitation, accrued wheelage) on such Real Estate Asset; (ix) the KRP Claims Reserve; and (x) reserves with respect to such other matters as the Administrative Agent in its reasonable credit judgment shall deem necessary or appropriate (together, “Reserves”).

(c) Amounts borrowed pursuant to this SECTION 2.01 may be repaid and, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, reborrowed at any time during the term of this Agreement.

(d) Borrowing Request. If the Borrowers desire to borrow Revolving Advances under SECTION 2.01(a), the Administrative Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a Borrowing Request signed by the Administrative Borrower in substantially the form attached as Exhibit B-1 not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) in the case of a request for a Base Rate Loan, on the proposed Funding Date or (ii) in the case of a request for a LIBOR Rate Loan, at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the proposed Funding Date. Such Borrowing Request shall specify: (A) the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Advances to be made on the Funding Date; (B) whether such Revolving Advances shall be comprised of LIBOR Rate Loans or Base Rate Loans; (C) the proposed Funding Date, which must be a Business Day; and (D) if applicable, the LIBOR Period for such Revolving Advances. Each borrowing of a Revolving Advance under SECTION 2.01(a) shall, in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans, be in an amount equal to $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof.

(e) Making the Revolving Advances.

(i) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of each borrowing requested by the Borrowers. Each Lender shall make an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the amount of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent by wire transfer to the Administrative Agent’s Account in immediately available funds, not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Funding Date applicable thereto. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in ARTICLE V, the Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of such amounts received by it available to the Borrowers on such Funding Date. All Revolving Advances made hereunder shall be made available to the Borrowers at the Borrower Funding Account.

(ii) Except as otherwise provided in this SECTION 2.01(f), all Revolving Advances under this Agreement shall be made by the Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their Pro Rata Shares. The failure of any Lender to deposit the amount described in clause (i) above with the Administrative Agent on the applicable Funding Date shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder to make its Revolving Advance on such Funding Date. Except as set forth herein, no Lender shall be responsible for any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to make a Revolving Advance hereunder nor shall the Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of any such failure, and each Lender shall be obligated to make the Revolving Advances required to be made by it by the terms of this Agreement regardless of the failure by any other Lender.

(f) Funding of Revolving Advances. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender, prior to the requested Funding Date, that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Revolving Advance, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, assume that such Lender has made such share available by such time in accordance with SECTION 2.01(f) and may in its sole discretion, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. If such Pro Rata Share is not, in fact, paid to the Administrative Agent by such Lender when due, the Administrative Agent will be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind. If any Lender fails to pay the amount of its Pro Rata Share forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Administrative Borrower and the Borrowers shall immediately repay such amount to the Administrative Agent. Nothing in this SECTION 2.01(f) or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to require the Administrative Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Lender or to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Borrowers may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, to the extent that the Administrative Agent advances funds to the Borrowers on behalf of any Lender and is not reimbursed therefor on the same Business Day as such advance is made, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to retain for its account all interest accrued on such advance from the date such advance was made until reimbursed by the applicable Lender.

(g) Repayment of Revolving Advances; Termination of Commitments. The principal amount of, interest on and fees related to all outstanding Revolving Advances shall be repaid in full on the Maturity Date and any outstanding Letters of Credit shall be returned for cancellation or Cash Collateralized in the manner provided in Annex A on the Maturity Date. The Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.

(h) Letter of Credit Subfacility. Subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions contained herein and in Annex A to this Agreement, the Borrowers shall have the right to request, and the L/C Issuer agrees to issue, Letters of Credit and the Lenders agree to incur, or purchase participations in, Letter of Credit Usage in respect of the Borrowers.

SECTION 2.02 Use of Proceeds. Proceeds of the Loans shall be utilized to: (a) refinance certain existing indebtedness (other than the Senior Notes, the 2015 Convertible Note Debt and the 2018 Convertible Note Debt) and replace, refinance or cash collateralize existing letters of credit which are outstanding on the Closing Date, (b) pay fees and expenses associated with the Loans and (c) provide for working capital and other general corporate purpose.

SECTION 2.03 Protective Advances. The Collateral Agent hereby is authorized by the Borrowers and the Lenders, from time to time in the Collateral Agent’s sole discretion, (a) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default, or (b) at any time that any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in SECTION 5.02 are not satisfied, to make loans to the Borrowers (“Protective Advances”) in an aggregate amount not to exceed ten million Dollars ($10,000,000) that the Collateral Agent, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable (i) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (ii) to enhance the likelihood of repayment of the Obligations or (iii) to pay any other amount chargeable to the Borrowers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including Lender Expenses and the costs, fees and expenses pursuant to this Agreement, provided that Protective Advances shall not cause the amount of the Loans to exceed the Maximum Revolver Amount. The Collateral Agent shall promptly notify the Administrative Borrower of any Protective Advances made to the Borrowers.

Each Protective Advance shall be deemed to be a Loan hereunder. The Protective Advances shall be repayable on demand and shall be secured Obligations pursuant to the Security Documents, and shall bear interest at the default rate set forth in SECTION 4.01(b) for Loans that are Base Rate Loans. The provisions of this SECTION 2.03 are for the exclusive benefit of the Agents and the Lenders and the Collateral Agent has no obligation to make Protective Advances.

SECTION 2.04 Promise to Pay. Each of the Borrowers, jointly and severally, agrees to pay (a) the principal amount of the Loans in full on the Maturity Date or such earlier date as they may become due and payable, whether by operation of SECTION 3.02, by acceleration or otherwise, (b) all fees and other amounts due under the Agents Fee Letter due on the Closing Date and from time to time after the Closing Date when due, (c) all Lender Expenses on demand, (d) all unpaid interest accrued, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and any applicable Note or such earlier date as such amounts may become due and payable, whether by acceleration or otherwise, (e) all issuance charges and other amounts when due to each L/C Issuer in accordance with Annex A, this Agreement, and other documentation between a Borrower and each such L/C Issuer, (e) all mandatory prepayments when due under this Agreement, and (f) all other Obligations when due under this Agreement.

SECTION 2.05 Notes.

(a) The Borrowers’ obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Loans made to the Borrowers by each Lender shall be set forth on the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent and, subject to the provisions of SECTION 2.05(c), shall be evidenced by, at the request of the applicable Lender, a promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit N-1, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, as the same may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, a “Note”).

(b) The Note issued to each requesting Lender shall (i) be executed jointly by each of the Borrowers, (ii) be payable to such Lender or its registered assigns and be dated the Closing Date (or, in the case of any Note issued after the Closing Date, the date of issuance thereof), (iii) be in a stated principal amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment on the Closing Date or on the date of the issuance thereof (if issued after the Closing Date) and be payable in the principal amount of Revolving Advances evidenced thereby from time to time, (iv) mature on the Maturity Date, (v) bear interest as provided herein and (vi) be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above or elsewhere in this Agreement, Notes shall only be delivered to Lenders which at any time specifically request the delivery of such Notes. No failure of any Lender to request or obtain a Note evidencing its Loans to the Borrowers shall affect or in any manner impair the obligation of the Borrowers to pay the Loans (and all related Obligations) which would otherwise be evidenced thereby in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, and shall not in any way affect the security or Guaranties therefor provided pursuant to the Loan Documents. At any time when any Lender requests the delivery of a Note to evidence any of its Loans, each Borrower shall promptly jointly execute and deliver to that Lender the requested Note in the appropriate amount or amounts to evidence such Loans.

SECTION 2.06 Authorized Officers and Administrative Agent.

(a) On the Closing Date and from time to time thereafter as necessary to reflect changes in the Authorized Officers, the Administrative Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a secretary’s certificate setting forth the names of the Senior Officers or other agents of the Administrative Borrower authorized to request Loans and containing a specimen signature of each such officer or agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely conclusively on such officer’s or agent’s authority to request Loans until the Administrative Agent receives written notice to the contrary. In addition, each Agent shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any written notice sent to it by telecopy. No Agent shall have any duty to verify the authenticity of the signature appearing on, or any telecopy or facsimile of, any written Borrowing Request, or any other document. None of the Agents, the L/C Issuers or the Lenders shall incur any liability to the Borrowers, or any other Person in acting upon any telecopy or facsimile notice referred to above which any Agent in good faith reasonably believes to have been given by a duly authorized Senior Officer, agent or other person authorized to borrow in the name of the Administrative Borrower on behalf of the Borrowers except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct by such Agent as determined in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.

SECTION 2.07 Joint and Several Liability of the Credit Parties. Each Borrower is part of a group of affiliated Persons, and each Borrower expects to receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the extension of the credit facility established pursuant to this Agreement. In consideration of the foregoing, each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for all of the liabilities, obligations, covenants and agreements of the Borrowers hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, whether now or hereafter existing or due or to become due. The obligations of the Borrowers under the Loan Documents may be enforced by the Agents and the Lenders against any Borrower or all Borrowers in any manner or order selected by any Agent or the Required Lenders in their sole discretion. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably waives (x) any rights of subrogation and (y) any rights of contribution, indemnity or reimbursement, in each case, that it may acquire or that may arise against any other Borrower due to any payment or performance made under this Agreement, in each case until all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification Obligations to the extent no claim giving rise thereto has been asserted) shall have been fully satisfied. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this SECTION 2.07, each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that:

(a) its obligations under this Agreement shall remain enforceable against it even though such obligations may be unenforceable or not allowable against any other Borrower due to the existence of an insolvency proceeding involving any other Borrower;

(b) its obligations under this Agreement are independent of the obligations of any other Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against it in respect of such obligations irrespective of whether any action is brought against any other Borrower or any other Borrower is joined in any such action or actions;

(c) it hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to, any or all of the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument relating hereto or thereto in respect of any other Borrower;

(ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the obligations of any other Borrower under or in respect of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from this Agreement or any other Loan Document, in respect of any other Borrower;

(iii) any change, restructuring or termination of the structure or existence of any other Borrower;

(iv) the failure of any other Person to execute or deliver any other agreement or the release or reduction of liability of any other Person with respect to any obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement or any other Loan Document;

(v) any other circumstance (including any statute of limitations but other than the Obligations having been fully satisfied) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by any other Person that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any other Borrower; or

(vi) the application of any Loan proceeds to, or the extension of any other credit for the benefit of, any other Borrower, any other Credit Party, or any of their Subsidiaries;

(d) its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any such obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any other Borrower, all as though such payment had not been made; and

(e) it hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any right to revoke its joint and several liability under the Loan Documents and acknowledges that such liability is continuing in nature and applies to all obligations of the Borrowers under the Loan Documents, whether existing now or in the future.

SECTION 2.08 Loan Account and Accounting. The Administrative Agent shall maintain a loan account (the “Loan Account”) on its books to record: all Revolving Advances and Letter of Credit Usage, all payments made by Borrowers, and all other debits and credits as provided in this Agreement with respect to the Loans or any other Obligations. All entries in the Loan Account shall be made in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s customary accounting practices as in effect from time to time. The balance in the Loan Account, as recorded on the Administrative Agent’s most recent printout or other written statement, shall, absent manifest error, be presumptive evidence of the amounts due and owing to the Administrative Agent and Lenders by each Borrower; provided that any failure to so record or any error in so recording shall not limit or otherwise affect any Borrower’s duty to pay the Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall render to the Administrative Borrower a monthly accounting of transactions with respect to the Loans setting forth the balance of the Loan Account as to the Borrowers for the immediately preceding month. Unless the Administrative Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent in writing of any objection to any such accounting (specifically describing the basis for such objection), within thirty (30) days after the date thereof, each and every such accounting shall be presumptive evidence of all matters reflected therein. Only those items expressly objected to in such notice shall be deemed to be disputed by Borrowers. Notwithstanding any provision herein contained to the contrary, any Lender may elect (which election may be revoked) to dispense with the issuance of Notes to that Lender and may rely on the Loan Account as evidence of the amount of Obligations from time to time owing to it.

SECTION 2.09 Application of Payments and Proceeds.

(a) (1) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (A) all Collateral and all payments consisting of proceeds of Collateral shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for application to the Revolving Advances; (B) voluntary prepayments permitted under this Agreement shall be applied as specified by the Administrative Borrower; and (C) mandatory prepayments shall be applied as set forth in SECTION 3.02(c). Provided that each Lender has funded all payments required to be made by it and funded all purchases of participations required to be funded by it under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall pay to each Lender such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (as increased in accordance with the reallocation and assumption required by the second sentence of paragraph (f) of Annex A until such time as such Lenders have received payment in full of the Aggregate Excess Funding Amount) of principal, interest and fees paid by the Borrowers for the benefit of such Lender on the Aggregate Revolver Exposure held by it. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to set off the funding shortfall against any Non-Funding Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all payments received from the Borrowers, after making payment in full of the Aggregate Excess Funding Amount to the funding Lenders thereof, and hold with the Collateral Agent, in a non-interest bearing account, all remaining portions of any payments received by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of any Non-Funding Lender pursuant to this Agreement as cash collateral for any unfunded reimbursement obligations of such Non-Funding Lender until the Obligations are paid in full in cash, all Letter of Credit Usage have been discharged or cash collateralized and all Commitments have been terminated, and upon such unfunded obligations owing by a Non-Funding Lender becoming due and payable, the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to use such cash collateral to make such payment on behalf of such Non-Funding Lender. Any amounts owing by a Non-Funding Lender to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent which are not paid when due shall accrue interest at the interest rate applicable during such period to Loans that are Base Rate Loans.

(ii) As to any other payment, and as to all payments made when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or following the Maturity Date, each Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments received from or on behalf of such Borrower, and each Borrower hereby irrevocably agrees that the Administrative Agent shall have the continuing exclusive right to apply any and all such payments against the Obligations of Borrowers as the Administrative Agent may deem advisable notwithstanding any previous entry by the Administrative Agent in the Loan Account or any other books and records. In all circumstances, after acceleration or maturity of the Obligations, all payments and proceeds of Collateral shall be applied to amounts then due and payable in the following order:

(A) first, to the payment of any Protective Advances funded by the Collateral Agent;

(B) second, to the payment of fees, costs and expenses, including Lender Expenses, of Agents payable or reimbursable by the Credit Parties under the Loan Documents;

(D) fourth, to payment of all accrued unpaid interest on the Obligations and fees owed to Agents, Lenders and L/C Issuers;

(E) fifth, to payment of principal of the Obligations (other than Bank Products) including, without limitation, to the payment of unreimbursed draws or payments made by the L/C Issuers under Letters of Credit;

(F) sixth, to the cash collateralization of contingent Letter of Credit Usage obligations to the extent not then due and payable);

(G) seventh, to all other Obligations (including Bank Products); and

(H) eighth, any remainder shall be for the account of and paid to the Borrowers or, if different, whoever may be lawfully entitled thereto.

In carrying out the foregoing, amounts received shall be applied equally and ratably in the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to the application to the next succeeding category.

(b) The Administrative Agent is authorized to, and at its sole election may, charge to the Loan Account on behalf of each of the Borrowers and cause to be paid all fees, expenses, charges, costs and other amounts owing or payable by Borrowers under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents if and to the extent Borrowers fail to pay promptly any such amounts as and when due, even if the amount of such charges would exceed Availability at such time or would cause the balance of the Revolving Advances to exceed the Borrowing Base after giving effect to such charges. At the Administrative Agent’s option and to the extent permitted by law, any charges so made shall constitute part of the Revolving Advances hereunder.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, after the exercise of remedies by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Lenders (or after the Commitments shall automatically terminate and the Loans (with accrued interest thereon) and Obligations under the Loan Documents shall automatically become due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof), all proceeds of the Collateral shall be applied to the Obligations in the manner specified in SECTION 2.09(a)(ii).

ARTICLE III

PAYMENTS AND OTHER COMPENSATION

SECTION 3.01 Voluntary Prepayments/Reductions of Commitments.

(a) Optional Prepayment of Revolving Advances. As set forth in SECTION 2.01(d), at any time after the Closing Date, the Borrowers may prepay, with no corresponding reduction in Commitments, and thereafter reborrow, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (including SECTION 4.03), all or any portion of the Revolving Advances then outstanding.

(b) Optional Reduction of Commitments. So long as the Credit Parties, on a consolidated basis, have Availability of at least ten million Dollars ($10,000,000) (calculated on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the reduction contemplated under this SECTION 3.01(b)), the Borrowers shall have the right, upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice by the Administrative Borrower to the Administrative Agent, to cancel the Commitments in full or to reduce the amount thereof; provided, that (x) upon any termination of the Commitments, all Obligations shall be immediately due and payable in full, and (y) the amount of the aggregate Commitments shall at no time be less than the Loan Exposure at such time. Partial reductions of the Commitments shall be in a minimum amount of five million Dollars ($5,000,000) or integral multiples of one million Dollars ($1,000,000) in excess thereof and shall reduce each Lender’s Commitment on a pro rata basis based upon such Lender’s Pro Rata Share. All cancellations or reductions shall be permanent. Any such notice of reduction shall be accompanied by the payment of the Unused Commitment Fee accrued through the date of such cancellation or reduction.

SECTION 3.02 Mandatory Prepayments.

(a) Prepayments from Asset Dispositions, Etc. Within three (3) Business Days after the receipt by a Credit Party or any Subsidiary of a Credit Party of any (i) Net Cash Proceeds or Net Casualty/Condemnation Proceeds of Collateral of the type included in the Borrowing Base, (ii) Net Cash Proceeds or Net Casualty/Condemnation Proceeds of Collateral of the type not included in the Borrowing Base in excess of $5,000,000 in any twelve (12) consecutive month period, (iii) Extraordinary Receipts in excess of $5,000,000 in any twelve (12) consecutive month period, (iv) net proceeds from the issuance or incurrence of Indebtedness or (v) Net Offering Proceeds (other than Net Offering Proceeds received by the Borrowers for the specific purpose of consummating a transaction permitted by this Agreement so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), the Borrowers shall:

(A) prepay the Loans in an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds, Net Casualty/Condemnation Proceeds, Net Offering Proceeds, net proceeds from the issuance or incurrence of Indebtedness or Extraordinary Receipts; and

(B) if any excess proceeds with respect to the items described in clauses (i) through (iv) above (but, for the avoidance of doubt, excluding proceeds with respect to items described in clause (v) above) remain after repayment in full of the aggregate outstanding Revolving Advances, Borrowers shall provide cash collateral for the Letters of Credit in the manner set forth in Annex A to the extent of such excess amount (it being understood that (i) any Borrowing Base Cash Collateral then posted with the Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall, to the extent of such excess and to the extent requested by the Administrative Borrower, thereafter (1) be deemed Cash Collateral provided pursuant to this SECTION 3.02(a) and (2) to the extent included in such Cash Collateral, shall cease to be Borrowing Base Cash Collateral for all purposes of this Agreement and shall no longer be included in the calculation of the Borrowing Base and (ii) the aggregate amount of Cash Collateral required pursuant to this SECTION 3.02(a) shall not exceed an amount equal to 105% of the amount of the aggregate Letter of Credit Usage then outstanding); provided, however, that (x) so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers shall not be required to use such net proceeds described in clauses (iv) of SECTION 3.02(a) to cash collateralize Letters of Credit as described above in this clause (B) if such net proceeds are promptly applied to a Permitted Refinancing or a Permitted Acquisition, and (y) so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers shall have the right to maintain such cash proceeds described in clauses (ii) though (iv) of this SECTION 3.02(a) in an operating account subject to a Control Agreement and to invest or reinvest (as the case may be) those cash proceeds in Replacement Assets within 180 days following receipt thereof (or in the case of any proceeds or receipts relating to any Real Estate Assets that are reinvested in Replacement Assets constituting Real Estate Assets, within 365 days following receipt thereof) and, in such case, the Borrowers shall have no obligations to apply such proceeds to the cash collateralization of Letters of Credit described in this clause (B) to the extent that such cash proceeds are actually invested or reinvested (as the case may be) in Replacement Assets during such 180-day (or 365-day) period.

The parties agree that the Collateral Agent shall be authorized to transfer from the account(s) containing Borrowing Base Cash Collateral to the Cash Collateral Account any Borrowing Base Cash Collateral that the Administrative Borrower shall request to be included in Cash Collateral pursuant to this SECTION 3.02(a).

(b) Overadvance. If at any time the Aggregate Revolver Exposure exceeds the Maximum Amount, Borrowers shall immediately repay the aggregate outstanding Revolving Advances to the extent required to eliminate such excess. If any such excess remains after repayment in full of the aggregate outstanding Revolving Advances, Borrowers shall, at the option of the Administrative Agent, either (i) provide cash collateral for the Letters of Credit in the manner set forth in Annex A to the extent required to eliminate such excess, or (ii) solely to the extent that after providing any cash collateral pursuant to this clause (ii) the Aggregate Revolver Exposure shall not exceed the Maximum Amount, provide additional Borrowing Base Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

(c) Application of Proceeds. Subject to the ability of the Borrowers to reinvest certain cash proceeds in Replacement Assets as provided in SECTION 3.02(a)(B) above, all payments under this SECTION 3.02 shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for application to the Loans and Obligations under this Agreement (including the provision of Cash Collateral for Letters of Credit) in the manner specified under clauses (a) and (b) above without a permanent reduction in the Commitments. Unless an Event of Default is continuing the balance shall be distributed to the Borrowers.

SECTION 3.03 Payments.

(a) General Provisions. All payments to be made by a Credit Party shall be made without set-off, counterclaim or other defense. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by a Credit Party shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Lender or Agent, as the case may be, at the Administrative Agent’s Account, and shall be made in Dollars and by wire transfer or ACH transfer in immediately available funds (which shall be the exclusive means of payment hereunder), no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time), on the dates specified herein, as the case may be, to be reimbursed. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to the relevant Lender or Agent its Pro Rata Share or other applicable share as expressly provided herein, of each such payment in like funds as received. Any payment received by the Administrative Agent later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day shall be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue until such following Business Day.

(b) Sharing of Payments. Except as otherwise provided herein, if any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of any Obligation in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of similar obligations obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall (i) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and (ii) forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in such similar obligations held by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each other Lender shall be rescinded and each such other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the amount of the purchase made under this SECTION 3.03(b) to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such other Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (A) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (B) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender of any interest or other amount paid by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered). Each Credit Party agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this SECTION 3.03(b) may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all of its rights (including the Lender’s right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of such Credit Party in the amount of such participation. If a Non-Funding Lender receives any such payment as described in this SECTION 3.03(b), such Lender shall turn over such payments to the Administrative Agent in an amount that would satisfy the cash collateral requirements set forth in SECTION 2.09(a)(i).

(c) Apportionment of Payments. Subject to the provisions of SECTION 2.09, SECTION 3.02 and this SECTION 3.03(c), all payments of principal and interest in respect of outstanding Loans, and all other payments in respect of any Obligations, shall be allocated among the Lenders in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares of such Obligations unless otherwise specified in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document.

(d) Payments on Non-Business Days. Whenever any payment to be made by the Borrowers hereunder or under any Loan Document is stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the payment shall instead be due on the next succeeding Business Day (unless such succeeding Business Day would be in the subsequent calendar month, in which case such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day).

SECTION 3.04 Taxes.

(a) Payment of Taxes. Except as set forth below, any and all payments by a Credit Party hereunder, under the Notes or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings imposed by any Governmental Authority, excluding, in the case of each Agent, each L/C Issuer and each Lender, respectively, taxes imposed by (i) the United States except United States federal gross income withholding taxes, or (ii) a Governmental Authority as a result of a connection or former connection (other than merely being a party to any Loan Documents, participating in the transactions contemplated therein, or enforcing rights thereunder) between such Agent, such L/C Issuer or Lender and the jurisdiction imposing such tax, including any connection arising from such Agent, such L/C Issuer or Lender being a citizen, domiciliary, or resident of such jurisdiction, being organized in such jurisdiction, or having a permanent establishment or fixed place of business therein (all such taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges and withholdings other than Excluded Taxes being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If a Credit Party shall be required by law to withhold or deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder, under the Notes or under any other Loan Document to any Lender, and L/C Issuer or any Agent, (A) such sum payable shall be increased by an additional amount so that after making all required withholdings or deductions (including withholdings or deductions applicable to additional amounts payable under this SECTION 3.04(a)) such Lender, such L/C Issuer or such Agent receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholdings or deductions been made, (B) such Credit Party shall make such withholdings or deductions, and (C) such Credit Party shall pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with Applicable Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Credit Party shall not be required to pay any such additional amounts to any Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender with respect to any Excluded Taxes.

(b) Other Taxes. The Borrowers agree to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from and which relate directly to the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document, including all such amounts related to the creation, perfection or maintenance of the interests of the Agents, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders in the Collateral and all interest and penalties related thereto (“Other Taxes”).

(c) Indemnification. The Borrowers will and hereby agree to indemnify each Lender, each L/C Issuer and each Agent against, and reimburse each, within ten (10) days of a receipt of written demand therefor, for the full amount of, all Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any Governmental Authority on amounts payable to such Agent or Lender under this SECTION 3.04(c)) incurred or paid by such Lender, L/C Issuer or Agent (as the case may be), or any Affiliate of such Lender, L/C Issuer or Agent on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any Obligation, and any penalties, interest, and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses paid to third parties arising therefrom or with respect thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrowers shall not be required to indemnify a Lender, L/C Issuer or Agent pursuant to this SECTION 3.04(c) with respect to any Excluded Taxes. A certificate as to any amount payable to any Person under this SECTION 3.04(c) submitted by such Person to the Administrative Borrower shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto.

(d) Receipts. Within thirty (30) days after a request from the Administrative Agent, each Credit Party will furnish to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt, if available, or other reasonably available documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent evidencing payment of such Taxes or Other Taxes (including in respect of payments of additional amounts) required to be paid by such Credit Party pursuant to this SECTION 3.04. The Administrative Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent upon the Administrative Agent’s request an Officer’s Certificate stating that all Taxes and Other Taxes of which it is aware that are due have been paid and that no additional Taxes or Other Taxes of which it is aware are due.

(e) Nonresident Certifications. (2) Each Lender that is not a United States Person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Closing Date, or, in the case of a Lender that becomes a Lender pursuant to SECTION 14.08 hereof, on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender pursuant to SECTION 14.08, a true and accurate IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8IMY (with the necessary attachments), W-8EXP, W-8ECI or any subsequent version thereof or successors thereto and such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law executed in duplicate by a duly authorized officer of such Lender to the effect that such Lender is eligible as of such date to receive payments hereunder and under the Notes free and clear or at a reduced rate of United States federal withholding tax or, in the case of a Lender that becomes a Lender pursuant to SECTION 14.08, that such Lender is subject to United States federal withholding tax at a rate not in excess of the rate to which the assignor was subject as a result of a change in law, as described in SECTION 3.04(e)(ii)(B). A Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this SECTION 3.04(e) that it is not legally able to deliver.

(ii) Each Non-U.S. Lender further agrees to deliver to the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent from time to time a true and accurate certificate executed in duplicate by a duly authorized officer of such Lender before or promptly upon the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent certificate previously delivered by it to the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent pursuant to this SECTION 3.04(e) (including upon the expiration, obsolescence or invalidity of such form, upon the designation of a new lending office and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent (each in the reasonable exercise of its discretion)). Each certificate required to be delivered pursuant to this SECTION 3.04(e)(ii) shall certify as to one of the following:

(A) that such Lender can receive payments hereunder and under the other Loan Documents free and clear or at a reduced rate of United States federal withholding tax (in which case the certificate shall be accompanied by two duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8IMY (with the necessary attachments), W 8EXP or W-8ECI, as applicable (or any successor form);

(B) that such Lender is no longer capable of receiving payments hereunder or under the other Loan Documents free and clear or at a reduced rate of United States federal withholding tax by reason of a change in law (including the Code or any applicable tax treaty) after the later of the Closing Date, or in the case of a Lender that becomes a Lender pursuant to SECTION 14.08 hereof, after the date on which the Lender became a Lender pursuant to SECTION 14.08; or

(C) that such Lender is not capable of receiving payments hereunder free and clear or at a reduced rate of United States federal withholding tax other than by reason of a change in law (including the Code or applicable tax treaty) after the later of the Closing Date, or in the case of a Lender that becomes a Lender pursuant to SECTION 14.08 hereof, after the date on which the Lender became a Lender pursuant to SECTION 14.08.

(f) Resident Certifications. Each Lender that is a United States Person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) and is not an “exempt recipient” (as such term is defined in Section 1.6049-4(c)(1)(ii) of the United States Treasury Regulations) shall deliver to the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Closing Date, or, in the case of a Lender that becomes a Lender pursuant to SECTION 14.08 hereof, on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender pursuant to SECTION 14.08 hereof, two original copies of IRS Form W-9 (or any successor forms), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Borrower or the Administrative Agent.

(g) Refunds and Tax Benefits. If a Lender, L/C Issuer or Agent becomes aware that it is entitled to claim a refund from a Governmental Authority in respect of Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers or with respect to which a Credit Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to SECTION 3.04(a) or (c), it shall make reasonable efforts to timely claim to such Governmental Authority for such refund at the Borrowers’ expense. If a Lender, L/C Issuer or Agent actually receives a payment of a refund (including pursuant to a claim for a refund made pursuant to the preceding sentence) in respect of any Tax or Other Tax as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers or with respect to which a Credit Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to SECTION 3.04(a) or (c), it shall within 30 days from the date of such receipt pay over the amount of such refund to a Credit Party, net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender, such L/C Issuer or such Agent and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrowers, upon the request of such Lender, L/C Issuer or Agent, agree to repay the amount paid over to a Credit Party (plus penalties, interest or other reasonable charges) to such Lender, L/C Issuer or Agent in the event such Lender, L/C Issuer or Agent is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.

(h) The Borrowers shall not be required to pay any amount to any Lender, L/C Issuer or Agent under SECTION 3.04(a) or (c) in respect of any Taxes imposed by reason of such Lender’s, L/C Issuer’s or Agent’s failure for any reason other than as specified in SECTION 3.04(e)(ii)(B) to comply with the provisions of SECTION 3.04(e)(i) or because of any form or certificate provided by such Lender, L/C Issuer or Agent under SECTION 3.04(c), other than because of a change in tax law specified in SECTION 3.04(e)(ii)(B).

(i) The Borrowers shall not be required to indemnify or to pay any additional amounts to the Lender, L/C Issuer or Agent with respect to Taxes pursuant to SECTION 3.04(a) to the extent that any obligation to withhold, deduct or pay amounts with respect to such Tax was in effect and would apply to amounts payable on the date that such Lender, L/C Issuer or Agent became a party to this Agreement or that was paid by such Lender, L/C Issuer or Agent more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to such Lender’s, L/C Issuer’s or Agent’s demand therefore.

(j) Without affecting its rights under SECTION 3.04(a) or any provision of this Agreement, each Lender, each L/C Issuer and each Agent agrees that if any Taxes or Other Taxes are imposed and required by law to be paid or to be withheld from any amount payable to any Lender, L/C Issuer or Agent with respect to which the Borrowers would be obligated to indemnify such Lender, L/C Issuer or Agent pursuant to SECTION 3.04(c), such Lender, L/C Issuer or Agent shall use reasonable efforts to select an alternative lending office which would not result in the imposition of such Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that such change in the good faith judgment of such Lender, L/C Issuer or Agent is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender, L/C Issuer or Agent.

ARTICLE IV

INTEREST

SECTION 4.01 Interest on the Loans and Other Obligations.

(a) Interest on Loans. The Borrowers agree to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Advance on each Interest Payment Date, from the date of such Revolving Advance through and including the date such Revolving Advance is repaid in full, at a rate equal to the Interest Rate for such Revolving Advance. The Borrowers shall pay the accrued interest on the Revolving Advances and the Unused Commitment Fee in cash on each Interest Payment Date. All computations of fees and interest payable under this Agreement shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed.

(b) Default Interest. So long as any Event of Default shall be continuing, the Interest Rate applicable to the Revolving Advances then outstanding or due and owing, and any other amount bearing interest hereunder, as well as the L/C Fee, shall, at the request of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, each be increased by two percent (2.00%) per annum above the Interest Rate or L/C Fee otherwise applicable to Revolving Advances, Letters of Credit or such other amounts bearing interest hereunder, which additional interest shall be payable on the demand of the Administrative Agent.

(c) Maximum Interest. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required, for any period for which interest is computed hereunder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that contracting for or receiving such payment by the respective Lender would be contrary to the provisions of any law applicable to such Lender limiting the highest rate of interest which may be lawfully contracted for, charged or received by such Lender, and in such event the Borrowers shall pay such Lender interest at the highest rate permitted by applicable law (“Highest Lawful Rate”); provided, however, that if at any time thereafter the rate of interest payable hereunder is less than the Highest Lawful Rate, the Borrowers shall continue to pay interest hereunder at the Highest Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders, is equal to the total interest that would have been received had the interest payable hereunder been (but for the operation of this paragraph) the interest rate payable since the Closing Date as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

(d) Conversion or Continuation. The Borrowers shall have the option (i) to convert all or any part of its outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans at the end of then-current LIBOR Period therefor, (ii) to convert Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Rate Loans, or (iii) to change or continue the LIBOR Period applicable to all or a portion of the Loans; provided, however, that (A) except as provided in SECTION 4.03, LIBOR Rate Loans may be converted into Base Rate Loans only on the last day of the LIBOR Period applicable thereto unless the Borrowers agree to pay all amounts due pursuant to SECTION 4.02, (B) Revolving Advances extended as, or converted into, LIBOR Rate Loans shall be subject to the terms of the definition of “LIBOR Period” set forth in SECTION 1.01 and to the minimum limits specified in SECTION 2.01(e), (C) any request for extension or conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan that shall fail to specify an LIBOR Period shall be deemed to be a request for a LIBOR Period of one month; and (D) no Base Rate Loans may be converted to LIBOR Rate Loans if any Default or Event of Default is then continuing. Each such extension or conversion shall be effected by the Borrowers by giving a Notice of Conversion/Continuation (or telephone notice promptly confirmed in writing) to the Administrative Agent prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed extension or conversion, substantially in the form of Exhibit N-2 hereto, specifying (x) the date of the proposed extension or conversion, (y) the Revolving Advances to be so extended or converted, (z) the types of Loans into which such Loans are to be converted, and, if appropriate, (D) the applicable LIBOR Periods with respect thereto. Each Notice of Conversion/Continuation shall be irrevocable. The Borrowers shall have no more than seven (7) LIBOR Rate Loans outstanding at any one time.

(e) Automatic Conversion to Base Rate Loans. Each LIBOR Rate Loan shall automatically be converted to a Base Rate Loan at the end of the applicable LIBOR Period if (i) the Administrative Borrower does not provide a timely Notice of Conversion/Continuation (subject to the provisions of SECTION 4.01(d)), (ii) the LIBOR Rate Loan is not permitted to be converted or continued as a LIBOR Rate Loan under this Agreement including by virtue of the application of SECTION 4.01(d) or the provisions of this ARTICLE IV, or (iii) any Default or Event of Default is then continuing. The Administrative Agent shall give each Lender notice as promptly as practicable of any such proposed extension or conversion affecting any Revolving Advance. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation under SECTION 4.01(d), the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender by telex, telecopy, email, or other similar form of transmission, of the proposed conversion/continuation. Any Notice of Conversion/Continuation for conversion to, or continuation of, a Revolving Advance shall be irrevocable, and the Borrowers shall be bound to convert or continue in accordance therewith.

SECTION 4.02 Break Funding Payments. In the event of the payment of any principal of any LIBOR Rate Loan other than on the last day of the LIBOR Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), or the failure to borrow or prepay any Revolving Advance on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, then, in any such event, the Borrowers shall compensate each applicable Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this SECTION 4.02 shall be delivered to the Borrowers and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 4.03 Change in Law; Illegality.

(a) If the adoption or implementation of, or any change in (or the interpretation, administration or application of), any Applicable Law shall, in each case after the date hereof, (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the LIBOR Rate) or (ii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or LIBOR Rate Loans made by such Lender; and the result of any of the foregoing under (i) or (ii) of this SECTION 4.03(a) shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any LIBOR Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise)), then the Borrowers will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered to the extent that such Lender reasonably determines that such increase in cost be allocable to the existence of such Lender’s LIBOR Rate Loans or its commitment to lend hereunder.

(b) If any Lender reasonably determines that the introduction of or any change in any Applicable Law regarding capital requirements, in each case after the date hereof, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such change in the Applicable Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for any such reduction suffered to the extent that such Lender reasonably determines that such additional amounts are allocable to the existence of such Lender’s Loans or its commitment to lend hereunder.

(c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this SECTION 4.03 shall be delivered to the Administrative Borrower and shall be binding and conclusive for all purposes, so long as it reflects the basis for the calculation of the amounts set forth therein and does not contain any manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten days after receipt thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the applicable Lender shall take such actions (including changing the office of location of the funding of the Loans) that the Administrative Borrower may reasonably request in order to reduce the amounts payable under SECTION 4.03(a) or (b), provided that the Borrowers shall reimburse such Lender for any costs incurred by such Lender in doing so to the extent that such Lender reasonably determines that such costs are allocable to the Borrowers with respect to the existence of such Lender’s Loans or commitment to lend hereunder and provided further that such Lender shall only be required to take such actions if it determines in good faith that such actions would not be disadvantageous to it, and (ii) the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender under SECTION 4.03(a) and (b) for any costs or additional amounts arising more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Administrative Borrower of the event giving rise to such costs and amounts of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor and, if the event giving rise to such increased costs and amounts is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to in this clause (ii) shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect therefor.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the adoption or implementation of, or any change in, any Applicable Law shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender to agree to make or to continue to fund or maintain any LIBOR Rate Loan, then, unless that Lender is able to make or to continue to fund or to maintain such LIBOR Rate Loan at another branch or office of that Lender without, in that Lender’s opinion, adversely affecting it or its LIBOR Rate Loans or the income obtained therefrom, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the Administrative Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) the obligation of such Lender to make, to continue to fund or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans shall terminate, and (ii) each outstanding LIBOR Rate Loan owing by the Borrowers to such Lender shall automatically be converted to a Base Rate Loan and the Borrowers shall pay any amounts due pursuant to SECTION 4.02.

SECTION 4.04 Fees. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, the following amounts:

(a) a fee (the “Unused Commitment Fee”) in an amount equal to one half of one percent (½%) per annum times the result of (x) the average daily Maximum Revolver Amount for the relevant period minus (y) the average daily Aggregate Revolver Exposure during such period. The Unused Commitment Fee shall be non-refundable and paid in Dollars in arrears on the first day of each calendar month and on the date of the termination or expiration of the Commitments; and

(b) the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, a fee (the “L/C Fee”) in an amount equal to three and one quarter percent (3.25%) per annum times the undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, payable in Dollars in arrears on the first day of each calendar month and on the date of the termination, draw or expiration of each Letter of Credit.

In addition to the foregoing, the Borrowers hereby agree to pay the fees and expenses, if any, set forth in (x) the Agents Fee Letter and (y) in Annex A hereto.

ARTICLE XII

GUARANTY OF OBLIGATIONS

SECTION 12.01 Guaranty. In order to induce the Agents and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make available the Loans hereunder, and in recognition of the direct benefits to be received by each Guarantor from the proceeds of the Loans, each Guarantor hereby agrees with the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Agents, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, as follows: each Guarantor hereby jointly, severally, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, the full and prompt payment when due, whether upon maturity, acceleration or otherwise, and the performance, of any and all of the Obligations of all other Credit Parties (such Obligations, collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). If any or all of the Obligations becomes due and payable hereunder, each Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally promises to pay the Guaranteed Obligations to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Agents, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers.

SECTION 12.02 Nature of Liability. The Guarantors agree that this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection, and that their obligations under this Guaranty shall be primary, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and the liability of each Guarantor shall not be affected by, nor shall this Guaranty be discharged or reduced by reason of:

(a) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability or any future amendment of, or change in this Guaranty, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, document or instrument to which any Credit Party and/or Guarantors are or may become a party;

(b) the absence of any action to enforce this Guaranty or any other Loan Document or the waiver or consent by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the L/C Issuers and/or Lenders with respect to any of the provisions thereof;

(c) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a Guarantor or of any other party as to the Guaranteed Obligations, or any payment on or in reduction of any such other guaranty or undertaking;

(d) the incapacity or any change in the name, style or constitution of any Credit Party or any other person liable;

(e) any dissolution, termination, increase, decrease or change in personnel by any Borrower or any Credit Party;

(f) the Collateral Agent granting any time, indulgence or concession to, or compounding with, discharging, releasing or varying the liability of, any Credit Party or any other person liable or renewing, determining, varying or increasing any accommodation, facility or transaction or otherwise dealing with the same in any manner whatsoever or concurring in, accepting or varying any compromise, arrangement or settlement or omitting to claim or enforce payment from any Credit Party or any other person liable;

104

(g) the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect its Lien against, any Collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender in respect thereof (including, without limitation, the release of any such Collateral);

(h) the insolvency of any Credit Party, or any payment made to any Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer on the Guaranteed Obligations which any such Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer repays to the Borrowers pursuant to a court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and each Guarantor waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding;

(i) any act or omission which would not have discharged or affected the liability of a Guarantor had it been a principal debtor instead of a Guarantor or by anything done or omitted which but for this provision might operate to exonerate or discharge a Guarantor; or

(j) any other action or circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or Guarantor.

SECTION 12.03 Independent Obligation.

(a) The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other Guarantor, any other party or any Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor whether or not action is brought against any other Guarantor, any other party or any Borrower and whether or not any other Guarantor, any other party or any Borrower be joined in any such action or actions.

(b) Each Guarantor shall be regarded, and shall be in the same position, as principal debtor with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor agrees that any notice or directive given at any time to the Administrative Agent that is inconsistent with the preceding paragraph shall be null and void and may be ignored by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders, and, in addition, may not be pleaded or introduced as evidence in any litigation relating to this Guaranty for the reason that such pleading or introduction would be at variance with the written terms of this Guaranty, unless the Agents and the Lenders have specifically agreed otherwise in writing. It is agreed among each Guarantor, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders that the foregoing waivers are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents and that, but for this Guaranty and such waivers, the Agents, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders would decline to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 12.04 Demand by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders. In addition to the terms of the Guaranty set forth in SECTION 12.01, and in no manner imposing any limitation on such terms, it is expressly understood and agreed that, if, at any time, the outstanding principal amount of the Guaranteed Obligations under this Agreement (including all accrued interest thereon) is declared to be immediately due and payable, then the Guarantors shall, without demand, pay to the holders of the Guaranteed Obligations the entire outstanding Guaranteed Obligations due and owing to such holders. Payment by the Guarantors shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account (or at any other account that may be specified in writing from time to time by the Administrative Agent), and shall be made in Dollars and by wire transfer or ACH transfer in immediately available funds, and shall be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations in the manner specified in SECTION 2.09.

105

SECTION 12.05 Enforcement of Guaranty. In no event shall any Agent or any Lender have any obligation (although it is entitled, at its option) to proceed against any Borrower or any other Credit Party or any Collateral pledged to secure Guaranteed Obligations before seeking satisfaction from any or all of the Guarantors, and the Administrative Agent may proceed, prior or subsequent to, or simultaneously with, the enforcement of such Agent’s or such Lender’s rights hereunder, to exercise any right or remedy it may have against any Collateral, as a result of any Lien it may have as security for all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations.

SECTION 12.06 Waiver. In addition to the waivers contained in SECTION 11.03, the Guarantors waive, and agree that they shall not at any time insist upon, plead or in any manner claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, marshaling of assets or redemption law, or exemption, whether now or at any time hereafter in force, which may delay, prevent or otherwise affect the performance by the Guarantors of their Guaranteed Obligations under, or the enforcement by the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders of, the Guaranty. The Guarantors hereby waive diligence, presentment and demand (whether for non payment or protest or of acceptance, maturity, extension of time, change in nature or form of the Guaranteed Obligations, acceptance of further Collateral, release of further Collateral, composition or agreement arrived at as to the amount of, or the terms of, the Guaranteed Obligations, notice of adverse change in the Borrower’s financial condition or any other fact which might increase the risk to the Guarantors) with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations or all other demands whatsoever and waive the benefit of all provisions of law which are or might be in conflict with the terms of the Guaranty. The Guarantors represent, warrant and jointly and severally agree that, as of the date of this Agreement, their obligations under the Guaranty are not subject to any offsets or defenses against the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Lenders or any Credit Party of any kind. The Guarantors further jointly and severally agree that their obligations under this Guaranty shall not be subject to any counterclaims, offsets or defenses against the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any L/C Issuer or against any Credit Party of any kind which may arise in the future.

SECTION 12.07 Benefit of Guaranty. The provisions of the Guaranty are for the benefit of the Agents, the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and their respective permitted successors, permitted transferees, endorsees and assigns, and nothing herein contained shall impair, as between any Credit Party and the Agents, the Lenders or the L/C Issuers, the obligations of any Credit Party under the Loan Documents. In the event all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations are transferred, endorsed or assigned by any Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer to any Person or Persons in a manner permitted by this Agreement, any reference to “the Administrative Agent”, “the Collateral Agent”, “the Agents”, “the L/C Issuers” or “the Lenders” herein shall be deemed to refer equally to such Person or Persons.

106

SECTION 12.08 Modification of Guaranteed Obligations, Etc. Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Agents and the Lenders may at any time or from time to time, with or without the consent of, or notice to, the Guarantors (in their capacity as Guarantors):

(a) change or extend the manner, place or terms of payment of, or renew or alter all or any portion of, the Guaranteed Obligations;

(b) take any action under or in respect of the Loan Documents in the exercise of any remedy, power or privilege contained therein or available to it at law, equity or otherwise, or waive or refrain from exercising any such remedies, powers or privileges;

(d) extend or waive the time for any Credit Party’s performance of, or compliance with, any term, covenant or agreement on its part to be performed or observed under the Loan Documents, or waive such performance or compliance or consent to a failure of, or departure from, such performance or compliance;

(e) take and hold Collateral for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby or sell, exchange, release, dispose of, or otherwise deal with, any property pledged, mortgaged or conveyed, or in which the Agents or the Lenders have been granted a Lien, to secure any Guaranteed Obligation;

(f) release anyone who may be liable in any manner for the payment of any amounts owed by the Guarantors or any Credit Party to the Agents or any Secured Creditor;

(g) modify or terminate the terms of any intercreditor or subordination agreement pursuant to which claims of other creditors of any Guarantor or any Credit Party are subordinated to the claims of the Agents, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers;

(h) apply any sums by whomever paid or however realized to any amounts owing by any Guarantor or any Credit Party to any Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer in such manner as the Administrative Agent shall determine in its discretion; and/or

(i) the Agents, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders shall not incur any liability to the Guarantors as a result thereof, and no such action shall impair or release the Guaranteed Obligations of the Guarantors or any of them under the Guaranty.

SECTION 12.09 Reinstatement.

(a) The Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any Credit Party or any Guarantor for liquidation or reorganization, should any Credit Party or any Guarantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of such Credit Party’s or such Guarantor’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to Applicable Law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Guaranteed Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

107

(b) If any claim is ever made upon any Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the Obligations and any of the aforesaid payees repays all or part of said amount by reason of (i) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such payee or any of its property, or (ii) compliance by the Lenders, the L/C Issuers or the Agents with any requirement of a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Lenders, the L/C Issuers or the Agents, then and in such event each Guarantor agrees that any such judgment, decree or order shall be binding upon it, notwithstanding any revocation of the Guaranty or other instrument evidencing any liability of the Borrowers or any termination of this Agreement, and each Guarantor shall be and remain liable to the aforesaid payees hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by any such payee. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Guaranteed Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

SECTION 12.10 Waiver of Subrogation, Etc. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Guaranty or in any other Loan Document, each Guarantor hereby:

(a) until the payment and satisfaction in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations, expressly waives, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns (including any surety), any and all rights at law or in equity to subrogation, to reimbursement, to exoneration, to contribution, to indemnification, to set-off or to any other rights that could accrue to a surety against a principal, to a Guarantor against a principal, to a Guarantor against a maker or obligor, to an accommodation party against the party accommodated, to a holder or transferee against a maker, or to the holder of any claim against any Person, and which such Guarantor may have or hereafter acquire against any Credit Party in connection with or as a result of such Guarantor’s execution, delivery and/or performance of this Agreement, or any other documents to which such Guarantor is a party or otherwise; and

(b) acknowledges and agrees (i) that this waiver is intended to benefit the Agents, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders and shall not limit or otherwise effect any Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforceability of the Guaranty, and (ii) that the Agents, the L/C Issuers, the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns are intended third-party beneficiaries of the waivers and agreements set forth in this SECTION 12.10 and their rights under this SECTION 12.10 shall survive payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations.

108

SECTION 12.11 Election of Remedies. If any Agent may, under Applicable Law, proceed to realize benefits under any of the Loan Documents giving the Agents, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders a Lien upon any Collateral owned by any Credit Party, either by judicial foreclosure or by non judicial sale or enforcement, the Collateral Agent may, at its sole option, determine which of such remedies or rights it may pursue without affecting any of such rights and remedies under this Guaranty. If, in the exercise of any of its rights and remedies, the Collateral Agent shall forfeit any of its rights or remedies, including its right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Credit Party, whether because of any Applicable Laws pertaining to “election of remedies” or the like, the Guarantors hereby consent to such action by any Agent and waive any claim based upon such action, even if such action by such Agent shall result in a full or partial loss of any rights of subrogation which the Guarantors might otherwise have had but for such action by such Agent. Any election of remedies that results in the denial or impairment of the right of any Agent to seek a deficiency judgment against any Credit Party shall not impair each Guarantor’s obligation to pay the full amount of the Guaranteed Obligations. In the event any Agent shall bid at any foreclosure or trustee’s sale or at any private sale permitted by law or the Loan Documents, such Agent may bid all or less than the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations and the amount of such bid need not be paid by such Agent but shall be credited against the Guaranteed Obligations. The amount of the successful bid at any such sale shall be conclusively deemed to be the fair market value of the Collateral and the difference between such bid amount and the remaining balance of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be conclusively deemed to be the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed under the Guaranty, notwithstanding that any present or future law or court decision or ruling may have the effect of reducing the amount of any deficiency claim to which the Agents, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders might otherwise be entitled but for such bidding at any such sale.

SECTION 12.12 Further Assurances. Each Guarantor agrees, upon the written request of the Administrative Agent, to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, from time to time, any additional instruments or documents reasonably considered necessary by the Administrative Agent to cause the Guaranty to be, become or remain valid and effective in accordance with its terms.

SECTION 12.13 Payments Free and Clear of Taxes. Except as set forth below, all payments required to be made by each Guarantor hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Agents, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders, free and clear of, and without deduction for, any and all present and future Taxes and other Taxes (but not Excluded Taxes). If any Guarantor shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder, (a) the sum payable shall be increased as much as shall be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this SECTION 12.13) the Agents, the L/C Issuers or the Lenders, as applicable, receive an amount equal to the sum they would have received had no such deductions been made, (b) such Guarantor shall make such deductions, and (c) such Guarantor shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing or other authority in accordance with Applicable Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Guarantor should be required to pay any such additional amounts to an Agent, an L/C Issuer or a Lender with respect to any Taxes in respect of which the Borrowers would not be required to pay any additional amounts pursuant to SECTION 3.04 if such Taxes were withheld or deducted by the Borrowers and the payment had been made by the Borrowers instead of such Guarantor. Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes, each applicable Guarantor shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof. Except as set forth below, each Guarantor shall jointly and severally indemnify and, within ten (10) days of receipt of written demand therefor, pay the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Agents, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders, for the full amount of Taxes (including any Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this SECTION 12.13) paid by any Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender, as appropriate, with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of a Guarantor hereunder and any penalties, interest and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Guarantor shall not be required to indemnify an L/C Issuer, a Lender or an Agent with respect to any Taxes in respect of which the Borrowers would not be required to indemnify such L/C Issuer, Lender or Agent pursuant to SECTION 3.04 if the payment had been made by the Borrowers and such Taxes arose with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers. If an L/C Issuer, a Lender or an Agent receives a refund in respect of Taxes or Other Tax as to which it has been indemnified by the Guarantor, and which the Guarantors have paid, pursuant to this SECTION 12.13, it shall within thirty (30) days from the date of such receipt pay over such refund to the Guarantor net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such L/C Issuer, Lender or Agent, as applicable.

109

SECTION 12.14 Limitation on Amount Guarantied; Contribution by Guarantors. Anything contained in this ARTICLE XII to the contrary notwithstanding, if any Fraudulent Transfer Law is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be applicable to the obligations of any Guarantor under this Agreement, such obligations of such Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to a maximum aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable provisions of the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or any other comparable state law (collectively, the “Fraudulent Transfer Laws”), in each case after giving effect to all other liabilities of such Guarantor, contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under the Fraudulent Transfer Laws (excluding, however, any liabilities of such Guarantor (a) in respect of intercompany Indebtedness to the Borrowers or other Affiliates of the Borrowers to the extent that such Indebtedness would be discharged in an amount equal to the amount paid by such Guarantor hereunder, and (b) under any guarantee of any subordinated Indebtedness which guarantee contains a limitation as to maximum amount similar to that set forth in this SECTION 12.14, pursuant to which the liability of such Guarantor hereunder is included in the liabilities taken into account in determining such maximum amount).

ARTICLE XIII

THE AGENTS

SECTION 13.01 Appointment Powers and Immunities; Delegation of Duties; Liability of Agents.

110

(a) Each Lender and each L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably designates and appoints GENERAL ELECTRIC CAPITAL CORPORATION as its Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and GENERAL ELECTRIC CAPITAL CORPORATION as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this SECTION 13.01 are solely for the benefit of the Agents, the L/C Issuers and Lenders and no Credit Party nor any other Person, other than permitted sub-agents, shall have any rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, each Agent shall act solely as an agent of Lenders and the L/C Issuers and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for any Credit Party or any other Person. No Agent shall have duties or responsibilities except for those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Unless otherwise provided, each Agent may execute its functions and duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to the advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such functions and duties. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects as long as such selection was made without gross negligence or willful misconduct. The duties of each Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature and no Agent shall have, or be deemed to have, by reason of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or any L/C Issuer. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, no Agent shall have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for failure to disclose, any information relating to any Credit Party or any of such Credit Party’s Subsidiaries or any Account Debtor that is communicated to or obtained any Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. No Agent nor any Agent’s Affiliates nor any Agent’s respective officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives shall be liable to any Lender or any L/C Issuer for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or in connection herewith or therewith, except for damages caused by its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer hereby authorizes each of the Agents to (i) execute and deliver the Loan Documents and accept delivery thereof on its behalf from any Credit Party, and agrees to be bound thereby, and (ii) take such action on its behalf and to exercise all rights, powers and remedies and perform the duties as are expressly delegated to each of the Agents under such Loan Documents.

(b) If the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall request instructions from the Required Lenders or all affected Lenders with respect to any act or action (including a failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, then the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until such Agent shall have received instructions from the Required Lenders or all affected Lenders, as the case may be, and neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document (i) if such action would, in the opinion of such Agent, be contrary to law or the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) if such action would, in the opinion of such Agent, expose such Agent to Environmental Liabilities and Costs or (iii) if such Agent shall not first be indemnified to its satisfaction against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender nor L/C Issuer shall have any right of action whatsoever against any Agent as a result of such Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Loan Document in accordance with the instructions of Required Lenders or all affected Lenders, as applicable.

111

SECTION 13.02 Reliance by Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent, or made by the proper Person, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrowers or counsel to any Lender), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent. Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it first shall receive such advice or concurrence of the Lenders or the L/C Issuers as it deems appropriate and until such instructions are received, such Agent shall act, or refrain from acting, as it deems advisable. If the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent so requests, it first shall be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent in all cases shall be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders or the Lenders, as required under this Agreement and any action taken or failure to act pursuant to such request or consent shall be binding upon all Lenders and the L/C Issuers.

SECTION 13.03 Defaults. With respect to its relationship with any of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, no Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the scheduled payment of principal and interest required to be paid to such Agent for the account of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers and except with respect to Events of Default of which such Agent has actual knowledge due to receipt of a written notice thereof from a Lender, an L/C Issuer or the Administrative Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default, and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default”. Such Agent promptly will notify the Lenders and the L/C Issuers of its receipt of any such notice or of any Event of Default of which such Agent has actual knowledge. If any Lender or any L/C Issuer obtains actual knowledge of any Event of Default, such Lender or such L/C Issuer promptly shall notify the other Lenders and the other L/C Issuers and each Agent of such Event of Default. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for giving any notices to its Participants, if any. Subject to SECTION 3.03 and SECTION 13.07, each Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Required Lenders in accordance with ARTICLE XI; provided, however, that unless and until such Agent has received any such request, such Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in its sole discretion.

SECTION 13.04 Rights as a Lender.

(a) With respect to its Commitments and the Loans made by it, the Administrative Agent (and any successor acting as Administrative Agent, if any, as permitted by SECTION 13.08(a)) in its capacity as a Lender under the Loan Documents shall have the same rights, privileges and powers under the Loan Documents as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not acting as Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The Administrative Agent (and any successor acting as Administrative Agent) and its Affiliates may (without having to account for the same to any Lender) accept deposits from, lend money to, make investments in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, principal investment or other business with a Borrower (and any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates) as if it were not acting as Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent (and its successors) and its Affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from a Borrower (or any other Person) for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

112

(b) With respect to its Commitments and the Loans made by it, the Collateral Agent (and any successor acting as the Collateral Agent, if any, as permitted by SECTION 13.08(b) in its capacity as a Lender under the Loan Documents shall have the same rights, privileges and powers under the Loan Documents as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not acting as the Collateral Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Collateral Agent in its individual capacity. The Collateral Agent (and any successor acting as the Collateral Agent) and its Affiliates may (without having to account for the same to any Lender) accept deposits from, lend money to, make investments in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, principal investment or other business with a Borrower (and any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates) as if it were not acting as the Collateral Agent, and the Collateral Agent (and its successors) and its Affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from a Borrower (or any other Person) for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

SECTION 13.05 Costs and Expenses; Indemnification. Each Agent may incur and pay fees, costs, and expenses under the Loan Documents to the extent such Agent deems reasonably necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions, powers, and obligations pursuant to the Loan Documents, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, court costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, costs of collection by outside collection agencies, auctioneer fees, costs of security guards, insurance premiums, taxes, or other amounts paid to protect or maintain the Collateral or to enhance the likelihood of payment of the Obligations following Default, whether or not a Borrower is obligated to reimburse the Lenders or the L/C Issuers for such expenses pursuant to the Loan Agreement or otherwise (to the extent the Borrowers have not done so and without limiting its obligation to do so). Each Lender hereby agrees that it is and shall be obligated to pay to or reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent for the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand the Agent-Related Persons (to the extent the Borrowers have not done so and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), according to their Pro Rata Shares, from and against any and all Indemnified Matters (including, without limitation, Indemnified Matters arising under any Environmental Law as provided in SECTION 14.19); provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to the Agent-Related Persons of any portion of such Indemnified Matters resulting solely from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final order by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, upon demand for such Lender’s ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by such Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein. The undertaking in this SECTION 13.05 shall survive the payment of all Obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement of any Agent.

113

SECTION 13.06 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender and each L/C Issuer acknowledges that none of the Agent-Related Persons has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by any Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs or Property of any of the Credit Parties or their Subsidiaries, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender or any L/C Issuer. Each Lender and L/C Issuer represents to each Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrowers and any other Person (other than the Lenders and L/C Issuers) party to a Loan Document, and all applicable bank regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrowers. Each Lender and L/C Issuer also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrowers and any other Person (other than the Lenders and L/C Issuers) party to a Loan Document. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Lenders by such Agent, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender or any L/C Issuer with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, Property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrowers or of any other Person party to a Loan Document that may come into the possession of any of the Agent-Related Persons.

SECTION 13.07 Failure to Act. Except for action expressly required of any Agent under the Loan Documents, such Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act under any Loan Document unless it shall receive further assurances to its satisfaction from the Lenders of their indemnification obligations under SECTION 13.05 against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

SECTION 13.08 Resignation of Agent.

114

(a) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided below, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notice to the Lenders and the Administrative Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders with the consent of the Administrative Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been appointed by the Required Lenders and consented to by the Administrative Borrower and no successor Administrative Agent shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent; provided, however, if the failure to do so was not a result of the failure by the Administrative Borrower to consent to any appointment, the Administrative Borrower shall retain the right to consent; provided, further, that if the failure to do so was not a result of the failure of the Required Lenders to appoint such successor, the Required Lenders shall obtain the right to consent to such successor. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, remedies, powers, privileges, duties and obligations of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations, under the Loan Documents. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this ARTICLE XIII shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

(b) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Collateral Agent as provided below, the Collateral Agent may resign upon thirty (30) days, prior written notice to the Lenders and the Administrative Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders with the consent of the Administrative Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall have the right to appoint a successor Collateral Agent. If no successor Collateral Agent shall have been appointed by the Required Lenders and consented to by the Administrative Borrower and no successor Collateral Agent shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Collateral Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Collateral Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Collateral Agent; provided, however, if the failure to do so was not a result of the failure by the Administrative Borrower to consent to any appointment, the Administrative Borrower shall retain the right to consent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Collateral Agent by a successor Collateral Agent, such successor Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, remedies, powers, privileges, duties and obligations of the retiring Collateral Agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations, under the Loan Documents. After any retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation as the Collateral Agent, the provisions of this ARTICLE XIII shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Collateral Agent.

SECTION 13.09 Collateral Sub-Agents. Each Lender and L/C Issuer by its execution and delivery of this Agreement (or any Assignment and Acceptance hereunder), agrees that, in the event it shall hold any monies or other investments on account of the Borrowers or any other Credit Party, such monies or other investments shall be held in the name and under the control of the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, such L/C Issuer or such Lender, and the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, such L/C Issuer or such Lender shall hold such monies or other investments as a collateral sub-agent for Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Borrowers and each other Credit Party, by its execution and delivery of this Agreement, hereby consents to the foregoing.

115

SECTION 13.10 Communications by the Borrowers. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Borrowers’ communications with respect to the Loan Documents shall be with the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, and the Borrowers shall be under no obligation to communicate directly with the Lenders or the L/C Issuers.

SECTION 13.11 Collateral Matters.

(a) The Lenders and the L/C Issuers hereby irrevocably authorize the Collateral Agent, at its option and in its sole discretion, to release any Lien on any Collateral (i) upon the termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction in full of all Obligations owed to the Agents, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers (other than those contingent Obligations for reimbursement and indemnity that expressly survive the termination of this Agreement); (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if a release is required or desirable in connection therewith and if the Administrative Borrower certifies in writing to the Collateral Agent that the sale or disposition is permitted under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (and the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry); (iii) constituting property in which the Borrowers owned no interest at the time the security interest was granted or at any time thereafter; (iv) constituting property leased to the Borrowers under a lease that has expired or is terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement; (v) constituting Equipment which, in the aggregate with all other dispositions of Equipment covered by this clause (v), has a fair market value or book value, whichever is less, of five million Dollars ($5,000,000) or less in any single fiscal year; or (vi) any other release consented by the Required Lenders. Upon request by the Collateral Agent or the Borrowers at any time, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to release any such Liens on particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this SECTION 3.11; provided, however, that (A) the Collateral Agent shall not be required to execute any document necessary to evidence such release on terms that, in the Collateral Agent’s opinion, would expose the Collateral Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Lien without recourse, representation, or warranty, and (B) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of the Borrowers in respect of) all interests retained by the Borrowers in any asset(s) transferred, including, the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.

(b) Neither the Administrative Agent not the Collateral Agent shall have any obligation whatsoever to any other Lender or L/C Issuer to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the applicable Credit Party or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, or that all or any portion of the Liens securing the Obligations have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent each may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion given its own interest in the Collateral and that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall have any other duty or liability whatsoever to any other Lender or L/C Issuer as to any of the foregoing, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.

116

SECTION 13.12 Restrictions on Actions by the Agents and the Lenders; Sharing Payments.

(a) The Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders and L/C Issuers agrees that it shall not, without the express consent of the Collateral Agent, and that it shall, to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so, upon the request of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, set-off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by such Lenders or L/C Issuers to the Credit Parties or any accounts of the Credit Parties now or hereafter maintained with such Lenders or L/C Issuers. The Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so by the Collateral Agent, take or cause to be taken any action, including the commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings, to foreclose any Lien on, or otherwise enforce any security interest in, any of the Collateral the purpose of which is, or could be, to give such Lenders any preference or priority against the other Lenders or L/C Issuers with respect to the Collateral.

(b) If, at any time or times any Lender or L/C Issuer shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, set-off or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations arising under, or relating to, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except for any such proceeds or payments received by such Lender or L/C Issuer from the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) payments from the Administrative Agent in excess of such Lender’s or such L/C Issuer’s ratable portion of all such distributions by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer, as the case may be, shall promptly turn the same over to the Administrative Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to the Administrative Agent, or in same-day funds, as applicable, for the account of the Agents, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers and for apportionment and application to the Obligations in accordance with SECTION 3.02(c) and SECTION 3.03(b).

SECTION 13.13 Several Obligations; No Liability. Notwithstanding that certain of the Loan Documents now or hereafter may have been or will be executed only by or in favor of an Agent in its capacity as such, and not by or in favor of the Lenders or the L/C Issuers, any and all obligations on the part of the Administrative Agent, if any, to make any credit available hereunder shall constitute the several (and not joint) obligations of the respective Lenders on a ratable basis, according to their respective Commitments, to make an amount of such credit not to exceed, in principal amount, at any one time outstanding, the amount of their respective Commitments. Nothing contained herein shall confer upon any Lender or any L/C Issuer any interest in, or subject any Lender or L/C Issuer to any liability for, or in respect of, the business, assets, profits, losses, or liabilities of any other Lenders. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for notifying its Participants of any matters relating to the Loan Documents to the extent any such notice may be required, and no Lender shall have any obligation, duty, or liability to any Participant of any other Lender. Except as provided in SECTION 13.05, no Agent, no L/C Issuer and no Lender shall have any liability for the acts of any other Agent, any other L/C Issuer or any other Lender. No Lender nor any L/C Issuer shall be responsible to the Borrowers or any other Person for any failure by any other Lender or any other L/C Issuer to fulfill its obligations to make credit available hereunder, nor to advance for it or on its behalf in connection with its Commitment, nor to take any other action on its behalf hereunder, under any other Loan Document or in connection with the financing contemplated herein.

117

SECTION 13.14 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Joint Lead Bookrunners nor the Documentation Agent listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as a Lender or an L/C Issuer hereunder.

SECTION 13.15 Information Regarding Bank Products. Each Lender agrees that, upon the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent, it shall from time to time provide the Administrative Agent with updated information regarding the Bank Product Amounts in order to facilitate the Administrative Agent’s administration of the credit facilities hereunder (it being understood that upon the failure of any Lender or any Affiliate of a Lender to provide such information, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, exclude the Bank Product Amounts of such Lender or such Affiliate from the “Obligations” and from distributions under SECTION 2.09(a)(ii)).

SECTION 13.16 Providers of Bank Products.

(a) Each provider of Bank Products, by accepting the benefits of the Loan Documents, agrees that (i) any action taken by any Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if expressly required hereby, a greater proportion of the Lenders) in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, (ii) any action taken by any Agent in reliance upon the instructions of Required Lenders (or, where so required, such greater proportion) and (iii) the exercise by any Agent or the Required Lenders (or, where so required, such greater proportion) of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of providers of Bank Products.

(b) The benefit of the provisions of the Loan Documents directly relating to the Collateral or any Lien granted thereunder shall extend to and be available to any provider of Bank Products that is not a Lender or an L/C Issuer party hereto as long as, by accepting such benefits, such Person agrees, as among the Agents and all Lenders and L/C Issuers party hereto, that such Person is bound by (and, if requested by the Administrative Agent, shall confirm such agreement in a writing in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent) this ARTICLE XIII and such other provisions applicable thereto and the decisions and actions of Agents and the Required Lenders (or, where expressly required by the terms of this Agreement, a greater proportion of the Lenders or other parties hereto as required herein) to the same extent a Lender is bound; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) such Secured Party shall be bound by SECTION 13.05 only to the extent of Indemnified Matters with respect to or otherwise relating to the Collateral held for the benefit of such Person, in which case the obligations of such Person thereunder shall not be limited by any concept of pro rata share or similar concept, (b) each Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers party hereto shall be entitled to act at its sole discretion, without regard to the interest of such Person, regardless of whether any Obligation to such Person thereafter remains outstanding, is deprived of the benefit of the Collateral, becomes unsecured or is otherwise affected or put in jeopardy thereby, and without any duty or liability to such Person or any such Obligation and (c) except as otherwise set forth herein, such Person shall not have any right to be notified of, consent to, direct, require or be heard with respect to, any action taken or omitted in respect of the Collateral or under any Loan Document.”

Each of the parties hereto agree that (i) (A) no posting to any E-System shall be denied legal effect merely because it is made electronically, and (B) each E Signature on such posting shall be deemed sufficient to satisfy any requirement for a “signature” and satisfy any requirement for a “writing”, in each case including pursuant to any Loan Document and any applicable Requirement of Law governing such subject matter, (ii) each such posting that is not readily capable of bearing either a signature or a reproduction of a signature may be signed, and shall be deemed signed, by attaching to, or logically associating with such posting, an E-Signature, upon which Agent, each Secured Party and each Credit Party may rely and assume the authenticity thereof, (iii) each such posting containing a signature, a reproduction of a signature or an E-Signature shall, for all intents and purposes, have the same effect and weight as a signed paper original and (iv) each party hereto or beneficiary hereto agrees not to contest the validity or enforceability of any posting on any E-System or E-Signature on any such posting under the provisions of any applicable Requirement of Law requiring certain documents to be in writing or signed.

Each of each Borrower, each other Credit Party executing this Agreement and each Secured Party agrees that the Administrative Agent has no responsibility for maintaining or providing any equipment, software, services or any testing required in connection with any Electronic Transmission or otherwise required for any E-System.

SECTION 14.02 Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor consent to any departure by any Credit Party therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Borrowers (or the Administrative Borrower) and the Required Lenders (or the Supermajority Lenders with respect to any amendment or modification to the definitions of “Eligible Accounts” or Eligible Inventory, in each case, in a manner that would result in more credit being made available) or the Administrative Agent at the request of the Required Lenders (or the Supermajority Lenders, as applicable) and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, in each case, without the consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers and each Lender directly affected thereby:

(a) increase or extend any Commitment of such Lender;

(b) reduce or forgive the principal of, or interest on, any Loan made by such Lender, or reduce or forgive any fees or other amounts payable hereunder to such Lender or release or discharge the Borrowers from their obligations to make such payments;

(c) postpone any date fixed for any scheduled payment of principal of, or interest on, any Loan or any other monetary Obligations owed to such Lender;

121

(d) other than as expressly permitted hereunder or in the other Loan Documents, release (or otherwise limit such Person’s liability with respect to its Obligations) any Borrower or any Guarantor;

(e) release, or consent to the Credit Parties disposition of, all or substantially all of the Collateral, or subordinate the right of the Collateral Agent and the Lenders with respect to all or substantially all of the Collateral (except as expressly permitted herein or in the other Loan Documents);

(g) change the percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders or Supermajority Lenders which shall be required for the Lenders or any of them to take any action under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no amendment, waiver or consent in relation to any provision of the Loan Documents shall affect the rights, duties or obligations of any Agent or the L/C Issuer without obtaining the consent of such Agent or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, (ii) no amendment or modification of the definitions of Eligible Accounts or Eligible Inventory or Borrowing Base, including any increase in the percentage advance rates in the definition of Borrowing Base, which would increase the availability of credit to the Borrowers hereunder shall be effective without obtaining the consent of the Supermajority Lenders, (iii) the Agents Fee Letter may be amended with only the consent of the parties thereto and (iv) the EX-IM Facility Amendment may be effected with only the consent of Administrative Agent, the Borrowers and Lenders participating in the export-related receivables credit facility so long as such EX-IM Facility Amendment does not alter or change (i) any of the items described in clauses (a) though (e) and clause (g) above without the consent of any Lender directly affected thereby or (ii) any of the items described in clause (f) above without the consent of any Lender directly affected thereby, other than as such items relate to assets of the type included in the export-related receivables credit facility and the application of proceeds thereof to the export-related receivables credit facility prior to the application thereof to the credit facility in effect on the Closing Date.

SECTION 14.03 Non-Consenting Lenders; Non-Funding Lenders.

(a) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring consent of “each Lender” or “each Lender affected thereby,” the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then so long as no Agent is a Non-Consenting Lender and no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers may elect to replace a Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement, provided that, concurrently with such replacement, (a) another bank or other entity that is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Borrower and reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Loans and other Obligations due to the Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of SECTION 14.10, and (b) the Borrowers shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement (i) all principal, interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Non-Consenting Lender by the Borrowers hereunder to and including the date of termination, including, without limitation, payments due to such Non-Consenting Lender under SECTION 3.04, and (ii) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under this SECTION 14.03 had the Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender, in each case other than the amount of the Applicable Payment Fee and Applicable Reduction Fee. Any processing or recordation fees associated with the transfer of a Non-Consenting Lender’s Loans shall be for the account of the Borrowers.

122

(b) Non-Funding Lenders.

(i) Responsibility. The failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make any Revolving Advance, make any payment on account of any Letter of Credit or any other payment required by it hereunder, or to fund any purchase of any participation to be made or funded by it on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any other Lender (each such other Lender, an “Other Lender”) of its obligations to make such loan or fund the purchase of any such participation on such date, but neither the Administrative Agent nor, other than as expressly set forth herein, any Other Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make a loan, fund the purchase of a participation or make any other payment required hereunder.

(ii) Reallocation. If any Lender is a Non-Funding Lender, all or a portion of such Non-Funding Lender’s obligations in respect of Letter of Credit Usage (unless such Lender is the L/C Issuer that issued such Letter of Credit) shall at Administrative Agent’s election at any time or upon any L/C Issuer’s written request delivered to the Administrative Agent (whether before or after the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default), be reallocated to and assumed by the Lenders that are not Non-Funding Lenders or Impacted Lenders pro rata in accordance with their Pro Rata Share of the Commitments (calculated as if the Non-Funding Lender’s Pro Rata Share was reduced to zero and each other Lender’s Pro Rata Share had been increased proportionately), provided that no Lender shall be reallocated any such amounts or be required to fund any amounts that would cause the sum of its outstanding Loans and its obligations in respect of Letter of Credit Usage to exceed its Commitment.

(iii) Voting Rights. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, including SECTION 14.02, a Non-Funding Lender shall not have any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document or constitute a “Lender” (or be, or have its Loans and Commitments, included in the determination of “Required Lenders” or “Lenders directly affected” pursuant to SECTION 14.02) for any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document, except that (A) the Commitment of a Non-Funding Lender may not be increased or extended, (B) the principal of a Non-Funding Lender’s Loans may not be reduced or forgiven, and (C) the interest rate applicable to Obligations owing to a Non-Funding Lender may not be reduced in such a manner that by its terms affects such Non-Funding Lender more adversely than other Lenders, in each case without the consent of such Non-Funding Lender. Moreover, for the purposes of determining Required Lenders, the Loans, obligations in respect of Letter of Credit Usage, and Commitments held by Non-Funding Lenders shall be excluded from the total Loans and Commitments outstanding.

123

(iv) Borrower Payments to a Non-Funding Lender. The Administrative Agent shall be authorized to use all payments received by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of any Non-Funding Lender pursuant to this Agreement to pay in full the Aggregate Excess Funding Amount to the appropriate Secured Parties. Following such payment in full of the Aggregate Excess Funding Amount, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to hold such funds as cash collateral in a non-interest bearing account up to an amount equal to such Non-Funding Lender’s unfunded Commitment and to use such amount to pay such Non-Funding Lender’s funding obligations hereunder until the Obligations are paid in full in cash, all obligations in respect of Letter of Credit Usage have been discharged or cash collateralized and all Commitments have been terminated. Upon any such unfunded obligations owing by a Non-Funding Lender becoming due and payable, the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to use such cash collateral to make such payment on behalf of such Non-Funding Lender. With respect to such Non-Funding Lender’s failure to fund Loans or purchase participations in Letters of Credit or Letter of Credit Usage, any amounts applied by the Administrative Agent to satisfy such funding shortfalls shall be deemed to constitute a Loan or amount of the participation required to be funded and, if necessary to effectuate the foregoing, the other Lenders shall be deemed to have sold, and such Non-Funding Lender shall be deemed to have purchased, Loans or Letter of Credit participation interests from the other Lenders until such time as the aggregate amount of the Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and obligations in respect of Letter of Credit Usage are held by the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Share of the Commitments. Any amounts owing by a Non-Funding Lender to the Administrative Agent which are not paid when due shall accrue interest at the interest rate applicable during such period to Loans that are Base Rate Loans. In the event that the Administrative Agent is holding cash collateral of a Non-Funding Lender that cures pursuant to clause (v) below or ceases to be a Non-Funding Lender pursuant to the definition of Non-Funding Lender, the Administrative Agent shall return the unused portion of such cash collateral to such Lender. The “Aggregate Excess Funding Amount” of a Non-Funding Lender shall be the aggregate amount of (A) all unpaid obligations owing by such Lender to the Agents, L/C Issuers, and other Lenders under the Loan Documents, including such Lender’s pro rata share of all Loans, obligations in respect of Letter of Credit Usage, plus, without duplication, (B) all amounts of such Non-Funding Lender’s Commitment reallocated to other Lenders pursuant to subsection (ii) above.

(v) Cure. A Lender may cure its status as a Non-Funding Lender under clause (a) of the definition of Non-Funding Lender if such Lender (A) fully pays to Administrative Agent, on behalf of the applicable Secured Parties, the Aggregate Excess Funding Amount, plus all interest due thereon and (B) timely funds the next Loan required to be funded by such Lender or makes the next reimbursement required to be made by such Lender. Any such cure shall not relieve any Lender from liability for breaching its contractual obligations hereunder.

124

(vi) Fees. A Lender that is a Non-Funding Lender pursuant to clause (a) of the definition of Non-Funding Lender shall not earn and shall not be entitled to receive, and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay, such Lender’s portion of the Unused Commitment Fee during the time such Lender is a Non-Funding Lender pursuant to clause (a) thereof. In the event that any reallocation of Letter of Credit Obligations occurs pursuant to subsection (ii) above, during the period of time that such reallocation remains in effect, the L/C Fee payable with respect to such reallocated portion shall be payable to (A) all Lenders based on their pro rata share of such reallocation or (B) to any L/C Issuer for any remaining portion not reallocated to any other Lenders.

SECTION 14.04 No Waiver; Remedies, Etc. No failure on the part of the Lenders or any Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right under any Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights and remedies of the Lenders and the Agents provided herein and in the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by law. The rights of the Lenders and the Agents under any Loan Document against any party thereto are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by the Lenders and the Agents to exercise any of their rights under any other Loan Document against such party or against any other Person.

SECTION 14.05 Expenses; Taxes; Attorneys’ Fees. The Borrowers will pay upon demand therefor, all of the following fees, costs, expenses and other charges (the “Lender Expenses”):

(a) all reasonable out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of any Agent, (including attorneys, consultants, advisors and agents retained by such Agent) and miscellaneous disbursements, examination, and travel, lodging and meals arising from or relating to or incurred in (i) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery, performance, administration, monitoring, amendment or termination of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and all other documents and agreements relating to the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (whether incurred before or after the date of this Agreement) or any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications thereof, whether or not such documents become effective or are given, (ii) the preservation and protection of any of the Agents’, L/C Issuers’ or Lenders’ rights under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (iii) the filing of any petition, complaint, answer, motion or other pleading by any Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender, or the taking of any action in respect of the Collateral or other security, in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (iv) the protection, collection, lease, sale, taking possession, liquidation or release of any Collateral or other security in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (v) any attempt to create, perfect, record, correct, release or enforce any Lien or security interest in any Collateral or other security in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (vi) any attempt to enhance the likelihood of repayment of the Obligations or to collect any Obligations from any Credit Party, any Collateral or any other source of repayment, (vii) all collateral audit, appraisal and valuation fees and charges (including any expenses and allocated costs of personnel employed by an Agent) and all financial advisor fees and expenses, and (viii) otherwise in connection with the Lenders’ and L/C Issuers’ transactions with the Credit Parties or their Subsidiaries, including fees or charges for photocopying, notarization, couriers and messengers, telecommunication, public record searches (including tax lien, litigation, and UCC searches, searches with the patent and trademark office, the copyright office or any other governmental or central registry), filing, recording, publication, real estate surveys, title policies and endorsements, environmental audits, insurance costs and any other out-of-pocket expenses necessary or desirable to administer the Loan Documents or to create or perfect the liens in favor of any Agent, L/C Issuer or Lenders or which the Borrowers are required to pay hereunder,

SECTION 14.06 Right of Set-Off, Sharing of Payments, Etc.

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, and in addition to (and without limitation of) any right of set-off, banker’s lien or counterclaim any Agent, any Lender and any L/C Issuer may otherwise have, each Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer may, and is hereby authorized by the Credit Parties to, at any time and from time to time, without notice to the Credit Parties (any such notice being expressly waived by the Credit Parties), to the fullest extent permitted by law, set-off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Person to or for the credit or the account of the Credit Parties against any and all Obligations now or hereafter existing under any Loan Document, irrespective of whether or not such Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer shall have made any demand hereunder or thereunder and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured. During the continuance of any Event of Default, each Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer may, and are hereby authorized to, at any time and from time to time, without notice to the Credit Parties (any such notice being expressly waived by the Credit Parties), to the fullest extent permitted by law, set-off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Person to or for the credit or the account of the Credit Parties against any and all Obligations now or hereafter existing under any Loan Document, irrespective of whether or not such Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer shall have made any demand hereunder or thereunder. Each Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer agrees to notify the Administrative Borrower, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such set-off and application made by such Person, provided that the failure to give such notice to the Administrative Borrower shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Agents, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers under this SECTION 14.06 are in addition to other rights and remedies which such Person may have.

127

(b) Nothing contained in this SECTION 14.06 shall require any Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of such Person to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other Indebtedness or Obligation of the Credit Parties. If, under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer receives a secured claim in lieu of a set-off to which this SECTION 14.06 applies, such Person shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Agents, Lenders and L/C Issuers entitled under SECTION 3.03(b) and this SECTION 14.06 to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

SECTION 14.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement, which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining portions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 14.08 Replacement of Lenders. If (a) a Lender requests compensation under SECTION 3.04, SECTION 4.02, or SECTION 4.03, or if the Credit Parties are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to SECTION 3.04, and such compensation or additional amount is not applicable to the Lenders generally, or (b) if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, then in the case of either (a) or (b) of this SECTION 14.08, the Credit Parties may, at its sole expense, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in this SECTION 14.08), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that, (i) the Credit Parties shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, and (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Credit Parties (in the case of all other amounts). A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Credit Parties to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to a Lender that is a Non-Funding Lender or an Impacted Lender, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent may obtain a replacement lender and execute an assignment on behalf of such Non-Funding Lender or an Impacted Lender at any time and without prior notice to such Non-Funding Lender or an Impacted Lender and cause its Loans and Commitments to be sold and assigned at par. Upon any such assignment and payment and compliance with the other provisions of SECTION 14.10, such replaced Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided, any rights of such replaced Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive.

128

SECTION 14.09 Complete Agreement; Sale of Interest. The Loan Documents constitute the complete agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, supersede any previous agreement or understanding between them relating hereto or thereto and may not be modified, altered or amended except in accordance with SECTION 14.02. The Credit Parties may not sell, assign or transfer any of the Loan Documents or any portion thereof, including their rights, title, interests, remedies, powers and duties hereunder or thereunder. The Credit Parties hereby consent to any Lender’s sale of participations, assignment, transfer or other disposition, at any time or times, of any of the Loan Documents or of any portion thereof or interest therein, including such Lender’s rights, title, interests, remedies, powers or duties thereunder, subject, in the case of a participation, assignment, transfer or other disposition, to the provisions of SECTION 14.10.

SECTION 14.10 Assignment; Register.

(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, except that no Credit Party 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 Credit Party without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Affiliates of the Administrative Agent) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Loans at the time owing to it); provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining outstanding amount of the Loans at the time owing to it (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) or an assignment to an entity described in clause (a), (b) or (c) of the definition of Eligible Assignee, any such assignment shall not be less than $1,000,000, unless the Administrative Agent otherwise consents (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (ii) any assignment by Non-Funding Lenders shall be subject to the Administrative Agent’s prior written consent in all instances, (iii) such assignment shall be effective only upon the acknowledgement in writing of such assignment by the Administrative Agent, and (iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance and shall pay to the Administrative Agent a $3500 assignment fee. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this SECTION 14.10, from and after the Closing Date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the Eligible 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 SECTION 3.04, SECTION 4.02, SECTION 4.03 and SECTION 14.18 to the extent any claim thereunder relates to an event arising or such Lender’s status or activity as Lender prior to such assignment.

129

(c) Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this SECTION 14.10 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (e) of this SECTION 14.10.

(d) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office 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 Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loan owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may 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 any Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The Borrowers may request in writing a copy of the Register from time to time and the Administrative Agent will promptly deliver a copy of such Register to the Administrative Borrower promptly thereafter.

(e) Any Lender may, without the consent of, or notice to, the Administrative Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrowers, the Agents, the Issuing Bank 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 Agreement. Any agreement or instrument 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, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in SECTION 14.02(a) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (f) of this SECTION 14.10 the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of SECTION 3.04, SECTION 4.02 and SECTION 4.03 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this SECTION 14.10. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of SECTION 14.06 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to SECTION 3.03 as though it were a Lender.

130

(f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under SECTION 3.04 or ARTICLE IV than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Administrative Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant shall be subject to SECTION 14.03 as though it were a Lender. A Participant that would be a Non-U.S. Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of SECTION 3.04 unless the Administrative Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with SECTION 3.04 and SECTION 12.14 as though it were a Lender.

(g) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, 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, without limitation, (i) any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and (ii) in the case of any Lender that is a Fund, any pledge or assignment of all or any portion of such Lender’s rights under this Agreement to any holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Lender as security for such obligations or securities, or to any trustee for, or any other representative of, such holders, and this SECTION 14.10(g) 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 any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

SECTION 14.11 Administrative Borrower.

(a) Each Credit Party hereby irrevocably appoints JRCC as the borrowing agent and attorney-in-fact for all Borrowers (the “Administrative Borrower”) which appointment shall remain in full force and effect unless and until Agent shall have received prior written notice signed by each Credit Party that such appointment has been revoked and that another Borrower has been appointed Administrative Borrower.

(b) Each Borrower and each other Credit Party hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Borrower (i) to provide the Administrative Agent with all notices with respect to Advances and Letters of Credit obtained for the benefit of any Borrower and all other notices and instructions under this Agreement, and (ii) to take such action as the Administrative Borrower deems appropriate on its behalf to obtain Revolving Advances and Letters of Credit under this Agreement, and to exercise such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto to carry out the purposes of this Agreement. It is understood that the handling of the Loan Account and Collateral of Borrowers and the other Credit Parties in a combined fashion, as more fully set forth herein, is done solely as an accommodation to the Borrowers and the other Credit Parties in order to utilize the collective borrowing powers of Borrowers in the most efficient and economical manner and at their request, and that none of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender shall incur any liability to any Borrower or any other Credit Party as a result hereof. Each Borrower and each other Credit Party expects to derive benefit, directly or indirectly, from the handling of the Loan Account and the Collateral in a combined fashion since the successful operation of each Borrower the other Credit Parties is dependent on the continued successful performance of the integrated group. To induce the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders to do so, and in consideration thereof, each Borrower and each other Credit Party hereby jointly and severally agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each L/C Issuer and each Lender and hold each harmless against any and all liability, expense, loss or claim of damage or injury, made against any of them by any Borrower, any other Credit Party or by any third party whosoever, arising from or incurred by reason of (a) the handling of the Loan Account and Collateral of Borrowers and the other Credit Parties as provided in this SECTION 4.11 and (b) the reliance by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender on any instructions of the Administrative Borrower, except that Borrowers and the other Credit Parties will have no liability to the relevant Agent-Related Person or Lender-Related Person under this SECTION 14.11 with respect to any liability that has been finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent-Related Person or Lender-Related Person, as the case may be.

131

SECTION 14.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents by telecopy shall have the same force and effect as the delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement or any of such other Loan Documents. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of any such agreement by telecopy shall also deliver an original executed counterpart, but the failure to do so shall not affect the validity, enforceability or binding effect of such agreement.

SECTION 14.13 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES AND, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT OTHERWISE PROVIDED THEREIN, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

SECTION 14.14 CONSENT TO JURISDICTION, SERVICE OF PROCESS AND VENUE. ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT EXCLUSIVELY IN ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, COUNTY OF NEW YORK OR OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND, BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE CREDIT PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY ACCEPT IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS. THE CREDIT PARTIES FURTHER IRREVOCABLY CONSENT TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OUT OF ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS AND IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OF COPIES THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO THE CREDIT PARTIES AT THEIR ADDRESS FOR NOTICES SET FORTH IN SECTION 14.01, SUCH SERVICE TO BECOME EFFECTIVE FIVE (5) DAYS AFTER SUCH MAILING. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE LENDERS OR THE AGENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST THE CREDIT PARTIES IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. THE CREDIT PARTIES HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE JURISDICTION OR LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT REFERRED TO ABOVE AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH LITIGATION HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

132

SECTION 14.15 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL, ETC. THE CREDIT PARTIES, THE LENDERS AND THE AGENTS HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM CONCERNING ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES OR OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR UNDER ANY AMENDMENT, WAIVER, CONSENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR OTHER AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR WHICH IN THE FUTURE MAY BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, OR ARISING FROM ANY FINANCING RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, AND AGREE THAT ANY SUCH ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY. THE CREDIT PARTIES CERTIFY THAT NO OFFICER, REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE LENDERS OR THE AGENTS HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT THE LENDERS OR THE AGENTS WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVERS.

SECTION 14.17 Interpretation. Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be construed or resolved against the Lenders, the L/C Issuers, the Agents or the Borrower, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise. On the contrary, this Agreement has been reviewed by all parties represented by counsel of their choosing and shall be construed and interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as to accomplish fairly the purposes and intentions of all parties hereto.

133

SECTION 14.18 Reinstatement; Certain Payments. If any claim is ever made upon the Lenders, the L/C Issuers or the Agents for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received by the Lenders, the L/C Issuers or the Agents in payment or received on account of any of the Obligations, the Lenders, the L/C Issuers or the Agents shall give prompt notice of such claim to the Administrative Borrower, and if the Lenders, the L/C Issuers or the Agents repay all or part of such amount by reason of (a) any judgment, decree or order of any court of competent jurisdiction or administrative body having jurisdiction over the Lenders, the L/C Issuers or the Agents or any of their respective property, or (b) compliance by the Lenders, the L/C Issuers or the Agents with any requirement of a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Lenders, the L/C Issuers or the Agents, then and in such event the Credit Parties agree that (i) any such judgment, decree or order shall be binding upon it notwithstanding the cancellation of any instrument evidencing the Obligations or the other Loan Documents or the termination of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and (ii) it shall be and remain liable to the Lenders, the L/C Issuers or the Agents hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by the Lenders, the L/C Issuers or the Agents.

SECTION 14.19 Indemnification. In addition to the Credit Parties’ other Obligations under this Agreement, the Credit Parties agree to defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and each of their respective Affiliates and their officers, directors, trustees, employees, agents and advisors, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Agent-Related Persons and the Lender-Related Persons (collectively called the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all claims, losses, demands, settlements, damages, liabilities, obligations, penalties, fines, fees, reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses, but excluding income, franchise and similar taxes of an Indemnitee) incurred by such Indemnitees (but not taxes, which shall be governed by SECTION 3.04), whether prior to or from and after the Closing Date, as a result of or arising from or relating to or in connection with any of the following: (a) the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the L/C Issuers or the Lenders furnishing of funds to the Credit Parties under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the management of any such Loans, (b) any matter relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or by any document executed in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (c) any claim, litigation, investigation or administrative or judicial proceeding in connection with any transaction contemplated in, or consummated under, the Loan Documents, or (d) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto, including, without limitation, claims, litigations, investigations or other proceedings arising out of (i) the presence, disposal, Release of any Hazardous Materials on, in, at, to, from or under any property at any time owned or occupied by the Credit Parties (or any of their respective predecessors in interest or title) or at any facility which received Hazardous Materials generated by the Credit Parties or any of their respective predecessors in interest in connection with the receipt of such Hazardous Materials, (ii) any personal injury (including wrongful death) or property damage (real or personal) arising out of or related to any Hazardous Materials generated by the Credit Parties, (iii) any investigation, lawsuit brought or threatened, settlement reached or government order relating to such Hazardous Materials, (iv) any violation of any Environmental Law by the Credit Parties or any of their respective predecessors in interest, and/or (v) any Environmental Action (collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”); provided, however, that the Credit Parties shall not have any obligations to any Indemnitee under this SECTION 14.19 for any Indemnified Matter to the extent resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee; provided, however, that no Credit Party shall be required to reimburse the legal fees and expenses of more than one outside counsel (in addition to up to one local counsel in each applicable local jurisdiction) for all Indemnitees under this SECTION 14.19 unless on advice of outside counsel, representation of all such Indemnitees would be inappropriate due to the existence of an actual or potential conflict of interest. Such indemnification for all of the foregoing losses, damages, fees, costs and expenses of the Indemnitees shall be due and payable promptly after demand therefor. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this SECTION 14.19 may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Credit Parties shall contribute the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay and satisfy under Applicable Law, to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Matters incurred by the Indemnitees. This Indemnity shall survive the repayment of the Obligations and the discharge of the Liens granted under the Loan Documents.

134

SECTION 14.20 Records. The unpaid principal of, and interest on, the Obligations, the interest rate or rates applicable to such unpaid principal and interest, the duration of such applicability, the Commitment, and the accrued and unpaid fees payable pursuant to SECTION 4.04, shall at all times be ascertained from the records of the Lender, the L/C Issuers and Agents, which shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest or demonstrable error.

SECTION 14.21 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Agents, and their respective successors and assigns, subject to SECTION 14.10.

135

SECTION 14.23 Lender Advertising. The Agents and the Lenders shall be entitled to advertise the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in such trade publications, business journals, newspapers of general circulation and otherwise, as the Agents and the Lenders shall deem appropriate, including, without limitation, the publication of a tombstone announcing the closing of this transaction.

SECTION 14.24 Press Releases. The Credit Parties will not issue press releases describing this Agreement or the transactions represented hereby or conducted hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 14.25 Common Enterprise. The successful operation and condition of the Borrowers is dependent on the continued successful performance of the functions of the group of the Credit Parties as a whole and the successful operation of each Borrower is dependent on the successful performance and operation of each other Credit Party. Each Credit Party expects to derive benefit (and its board of directors or other governing body has determined that it may reasonably be expected to derive benefit), directly and indirectly, from (a) successful operations of each of the other Credit Parties, and (b) the credit extended by the Agents, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers to the Borrowers hereunder, both in their separate capacities and as members of the group of companies.

SECTION 14.26 USA Patriot Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the Patriot Act hereby notifies the Borrowers and each other Credit Party that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Credit Party, which information includes the name and address of the Credit Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify each Credit Party in accordance with the Patriot Act.

136

SECTION 14.27 Amendment and Restatement of Existing Credit Agreement. On the Closing Date, this Agreement shall amend, restate and supersede the Existing Credit Agreement in its entirety, except as provided in this SECTION 14.27. On the Closing Date, the rights and obligations of the parties evidenced by the Existing Credit Agreement shall be evidenced by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the grant of security interest in the Collateral by the relevant Credit Parties under the Existing Credit Agreement and the other “Loan Documents” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) shall continue under but as amended by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall not in any event be terminated, extinguished or annulled but shall hereafter be governed by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. All references to the Existing Credit Agreement in any Loan Document or other document or instrument delivered in connection therewith shall be deemed to refer to this Agreement and the provisions hereof. All Existing Letters of Credit and the IRP-Travelers Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and to the extent necessary, the existing lenders, the Lenders and the Agents reserve all of their rights under the Existing Credit Agreement and the other “Loan Documents” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) which by their express terms survive the termination of the Existing Credit Agreement and each of the Guarantors hereby obligates itself again in respect of all such present and future “Guaranteed Obligations” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement).

ANNEX A

CREDIT AGREEMENT

LETTERS OF CREDIT

(a) Conditions. On the terms and subject to the conditions contained in the Agreement and this Annex A, Borrower Representative may request that one or more L/C Issuers Issue, in accordance with such L/C Issuers’ usual and customary business practices and for the account of the Borrowers, Letters of Credit (denominated in Dollars) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date through the date that is the thirtieth (30th) day prior to the Maturity Date, and each L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Lenders set forth in this paragraph (f) below, to Issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrowers; provided, however, that no L/C Issuer shall Issue any Letter of Credit upon the occurrence of any of the following or, if after giving effect to such Issuance:

(i) the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Usage shall exceed the least of (i) One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000) (the “L/C Sublimit”), (ii) the Maximum Amount less the outstanding Revolving Advances at such time, or (iii) the Borrowing Base less the outstanding Revolving Advances at such time;

(ii) the expiration date of such Letter of Credit (A) is not a Business Day, (B) is more than one year after the date of issuance thereof or (C) unless agreed to by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Agent, is later than the date that is the thirtieth (30th) day prior to the Maturity Date (it being understood that in the event the expiry date of any requested Letter of Credit would occur after the date that is the thirtieth (30th) day prior to the Maturity Date, from and after the date that is the thirtieth (30th) day prior to the Maturity Date, the Borrowers shall immediately Cash Collateralize the then Letter of Credit Usage in accordance with paragraph (h) below); provided, however, that any Letter of Credit with a term not exceeding one year may provide for its renewal for additional periods not exceeding one year as long as (x) each Borrower and such L/C Issuer have the option to prevent such renewal before the expiration of such term or any such period and (y) neither such L/C Issuer nor any Borrower shall permit any such renewal to extend such expiration date beyond the date set forth in clause (C) above; or

(iii) (A) any fee due in connection with, and on or prior to, such Issuance has not been paid, (B) such Letter of Credit is requested to be issued in a form that is not acceptable to such L/C Issuer or (C) such L/C Issuer shall not have received, each in form and substance reasonably acceptable to it and duly executed by the Credit Parties or the Borrower Representative on their behalf, the documents that such L/C Issuer generally uses in the ordinary course of business for the Issuance of letters of credit of the type of such Letter of Credit (collectively, the “L/C Reimbursement Agreement”).

A-1

Furthermore, GE Capital, if it shall be an L/C Issuer hereunder, may elect only to issue Letters of Credit in its own name and may only issue Letters of Credit to the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, and such Letters of Credit may not be accepted by certain beneficiaries such as insurance companies. For each Issuance, the applicable L/C Issuer may, but shall not be required to, determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent set forth in the Agreement and this Annex A have been satisfied or waived in connection with the Issuance of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that no Letter of Credit shall be Issued during the period starting on the first Business Day after the receipt by such L/C Issuer of notice from Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders that any condition precedent contained in SECTION 5.02 is not satisfied and ending on the date all such conditions are satisfied or duly waived.

Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, if any Lender is a Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender, no L/C Issuer shall be obligated to Issue any Letter of Credit unless (w) the Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender has been replaced in accordance with SECTION 9.09 or 9.22, (x) the Letter of Credit Obligations of such Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender have been cash collateralized, or (y) the Revolving Loan Commitments of the other Lenders have been increased by an amount sufficient to satisfy Agent that all future Letter of Credit Obligations will be covered by all Revolving Lenders that are not Non-Funding Lenders or Impacted Lenders, or (z) the Letter of Credit Obligations of such Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender have been reallocated to other Revolving Lenders in a manner consistent with SECTION 14.03(b).

(b) Notice of Issuance. The Borrower Representative shall give the relevant L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent a notice of any requested Issuance of any Letter of Credit, which shall be effective only if received by such L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. on the third Business Day prior to the date of such requested Issuance. Such notice shall be made in writing or electronic transmission acceptable to such L/C Issuer (each such request, an “L/C Request”).

(c) Reporting Obligations of L/C Issuers. Each L/C Issuer agrees to provide the Administrative Agent, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, each of the following on the following dates: (A) (i) on or prior to any Issuance of any Letter of Credit by such L/C Issuer, (ii) immediately after any drawing under any such Letter of Credit or (iii) immediately after any payment (or failure to pay when due) by the Borrowers of any related L/C Reimbursement Obligation, notice thereof, which shall contain a reasonably detailed description of such Issuance, drawing or payment, and the Administrative Agent shall provide copies of such notices to each Lender reasonably promptly after receipt thereof; (B) upon the request of the Administrative Agent (or any Lender through the Administrative Agent), copies of any Letter of Credit Issued by such L/C Issuer and any related L/C Reimbursement Agreement and such other documents and information as may reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent; and (C) on the first Business Day of each calendar week, a schedule of the Letters of Credit Issued by such L/C Issuer, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, setting forth the Letter of Credit Usage for such Letters of Credit outstanding on the last Business Day of the previous calendar week.

A-2

(d) Acquisition of Participations. Upon any Issuance of a Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and this Annex A resulting in any increase in the Letter of Credit Usage, each Lender shall be deemed to have acquired, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Letter of Credit and the related Letter of Credit Usage in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of such Letter of Credit Usage.

(e) Reimbursement Obligations of the Borrowers. The Borrowers agree to pay to the L/C Issuer of any Letter of Credit each L/C Reimbursement Obligation owing with respect to such Letter of Credit no later than the first Business Day after the Borrowers or the Borrower Representative receive notice from such L/C Issuer that payment has been made under such Letter of Credit or that such L/C Reimbursement Obligation is otherwise due (the “L/C Reimbursement Date”) with interest thereon computed as set forth in clause (A) below. In the event that any L/C Issuer incurs any L/C Reimbursement Obligation which is not repaid by the Borrowers as provided in this clause (v) (or any such payment by the Borrowers is rescinded or set aside for any reason), such L/C Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such failure (and, upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender) and, irrespective of whether such notice is given, such L/C Reimbursement Obligation shall be payable on demand by the Borrowers with interest thereon computed (A) from the date on which such L/C Reimbursement Obligation arose to the L/C Reimbursement Date, at the interest rate applicable during such period to Loans that are Base Rate Loans and (B) thereafter until payment in full, at the interest rate applicable during such period to past due Loans that are Base Rate Loans.

(f) Reimbursement Obligations of the Lenders. If no Lender is a Non-Funding Lender (or if the only Non-Funding Lender is the L/C Issuer that issued such Letter of Credit), upon receipt of the notice described in paragraph (e) above from the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its Pro Rata Share of such Letter of Credit Usage. If any Lender (other than the Lender that is the L/C Issuer that issued such Letter of Credit) is a Non-Funding Lender, that Non-Funding Lender’s Letter of Credit Usage shall be reallocated to and assumed by the other Lenders pro rata in accordance with their Pro Rata Share of the Loan (calculated as if the Non-Funding Lender’s Pro Rata Share was reduced to zero and each other Lender’s Pro Rata Share had been increased proportionately). By making such payment (other than during the continuation of an Event of Default under subsection 11.01(g) or 7.1(h)), such Lender shall be deemed to have made a Loan to the Borrowers, which, upon receipt thereof by such L/C Issuer, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have used in whole to repay such L/C Reimbursement Obligation. Any such payment that is not deemed a Loan shall be deemed a funding by such Lender of its participation in the applicable Letter of Credit and the Letter of Credit Usage in respect of the related L/C Reimbursement Obligations. Such participation shall not otherwise be required to be funded. Following receipt by any L/C Issuer of any payment from any Lender pursuant to this paragraph (f) with respect to any portion of any L/C Reimbursement Obligation, such L/C Issuer shall promptly pay over to such Lender all duplicate payments received from Persons other than Lenders making payment on behalf of a Credit Party by such L/C Issuer with respect to such portion of such L/C Reimbursement Obligation.

A-3

(g) Obligations Absolute. The obligations of the Borrowers and the Lenders pursuant to paragraphs (d), (e) and (f) above shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and this Annex A irrespective of (i) (A) the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision in any Letter of Credit, any document transferring or purporting to transfer a Letter of Credit, any Loan Document (including the sufficiency of any such instrument), or any modification to any provision of any of the foregoing, (B) any document presented under a Letter of Credit being forged, fraudulent, invalid, insufficient or inaccurate in any respect or failing to comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (C) any loss or delay, including in the transmission of any document, (ii) the existence of any setoff, claim, abatement, recoupment, defense or other right that any Person (including any Credit Party) may have against the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other Person, whether in connection with any Loan Document or any other contractual obligation or transaction, or the existence of any other withholding, abatement or reduction, (iii) in the case of the obligations of any Lender, (A) the failure of any condition precedent set forth in SECTION 5.02 to be satisfied (each of which conditions precedent the Lenders hereby irrevocably waive) or (B) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Credit Party and (iv) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this paragraph (g), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of any obligation of the Borrowers or any Lender hereunder. No provision hereof shall be deemed to waive or limit the Borrowers’ right to seek repayment of any payment of any L/C Reimbursement Obligations from the L/C Issuer under the terms of the applicable L/C Reimbursement Agreement or applicable law.

(h) Cash Collateral.

(i) If Borrowers are required to provide cash collateral for all or any portion of the aggregate Letter of Credit Usage pursuant to the Agreement, including after the occurrence of an Event of Default, as required by SECTION 3.02(a) or otherwise, the Borrowers will pay to the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Agents, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders entitled thereto cash or cash equivalents acceptable to the Administrative Agent (“Cash Collateral”) in an amount equal to 105% of the amount of the aggregate Letter of Credit Usage to be cash collateralized (and any Borrowing Base Cash Collateral then posted with the Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall thereafter (1) upon the request of the Administrative Borrower, be deemed included in all such Cash Collateral and (2) to the extent included in such Cash Collateral, shall cease to be Borrowing Base Cash Collateral for all purposes of this Agreement and shall no longer be included in the calculation of the Borrowing Base). The parties agree that the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to transfer from the account(s) containing Borrowing Base Cash Collateral to the Cash Collateral Account, any Borrowing Base Cash Collateral that the Administrative Borrower shall request to be included in Cash Collateral hereunder. Such Cash Collateral shall be held by the Collateral Agent and pledged to, and subject to the control of, the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Agents, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers entitled thereto, in a cash collateral account (the “Cash Collateral Account”) maintained at a bank or financial institution acceptable to the Administrative Agent. The Borrowers hereby pledge and grant to the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Agents, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, a security interest in all such Cash Collateral and all proceeds thereof, as security for the payment of all amounts due in respect of the Letter of Credit Usage and other Obligations, whether or not then due. The Agreement, including this Annex A, shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law.

A-4

(ii) If any Letters of Credit shall for any reason be outstanding on the date that is the thirtieth (30th) day prior to the Maturity Date, the Borrowers shall do one or more of the following with respect to each such outstanding Letter of Credit (A) provide Cash Collateral therefor in the manner described in clause (h)(i) above, (B) cause such Letter of Credit and all guaranties thereof, if any, to be canceled and returned to each L/C Issuer, or (C) deliver to the applicable L/C Issuer a stand-by letter (or letters) of credit (each, a “Backstop Letter of Credit”) in guaranty of each outstanding Letter of Credit, which Backstop Letter of Credit meets all of the following requirements: (x) each Backstop Letter of Credit shall have an expiry or termination date that is at least thirty (30) additional days later than the expiry or termination date of the corresponding Letter of Credit with respect to which the Backstop Letter of Credit is issued, (y) each Backstop Letter of Credit shall be in an amount equal to 105% of the maximum amount then available to be drawn under the outstanding Letter of Credit with respect to which the Backstop Letter of Credit is issued, (z) and each Backstop Letter of Credit shall be issued by a Person, and shall be subject to such terms and conditions, as are satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer in their respective sole discretion.

(iii) From time to time after funds are deposited as Cash Collateral by any Borrower, whether before or after the Maturity Date, the Administrative Agent may apply such funds then held by the Collateral Agent to the payment of any amounts, and in such order as the Administrative Agent may elect, as shall be or shall become due and payable by the Borrowers to the Agents, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers with respect to the Letter of Credit Usage and, upon the repayment or expiration of all amounts constituting Letter of Credit Usage, to any other Obligations of the Borrowers then due and payable.

(iv) No Borrower nor any Person claiming on behalf of or through any Borrower shall have any right to withdraw any of the Cash Collateral, except that upon the termination or expiry of all Letters of Credit and the payment of all amounts payable by the Borrowers to the Agents, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers in respect thereof, any remaining Cash Collateral shall be applied to other Obligations then due and owing and upon payment in full of such Obligations, any remaining amount shall be paid to the Borrowers or as otherwise required by law. Interest earned on Cash Collateral shall be held as additional collateral.

(i) Fees and Expenses. Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders, as compensation to such Lenders for the Letter of Credit Usage hereunder, (i) all costs and expenses incurred by the Agents or any Lender on account of each Letter of Credit, and (ii) the L/C Fee specified in SECTION 4.04 of the Agreement. Such fee shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders in arrears, on the first day of each month and on the Maturity Date. In addition, the Borrowers shall pay to each L/C Issuer directly, on demand and for its own account, a fronting fee equal to 0.25% of the maximum amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit (or such higher amount as may be required by such L/C Issuer) plus such fees (including all per annum fees), charges and expenses of such L/C Issuer in respect of the issuance, negotiation, acceptance, amendment, transfer and payment of a Letter of Credit or otherwise payable pursuant to the application and related documentation under which such Letter of Credit is issued.

A-5

(j) Indemnification; Nature of Lenders’ Duties.

(i) In addition to amounts payable as elsewhere provided in the Agreement, Borrowers hereby agree to pay and to protect, indemnify, and save harmless the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each L/C Issuer and each Lender from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and allocated costs of internal counsel) that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (A) the issuance of any Letter of Credit or guaranty thereof, or (B) the failure of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or L/C Issuer seeking indemnification or of any L/C Issuer to honor a demand for payment under any Letter of Credit or guaranty thereof as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government or Governmental Authority, in each case other than to the extent solely as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such indemnified person (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction).

(ii) As between the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender and any L/C Issuer on the one hand and, on the other hand, the Credit Parties, the Credit Parties assume all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of any Letter of Credit by, beneficiaries of any Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by law, neither the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender nor any L/C Issuer shall be responsible for: (A) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document issued by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of any Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged, (B) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, that may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason, (C) failure of the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to demand payment under such Letter of Credit; provided, that in the case of any payment by any L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit or guaranty thereof, such L/C Issuer shall be liable to the extent such payment was made solely as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction) in determining that the demand for payment under such Letter of Credit or guaranty thereof complies on its face with any applicable requirements for a demand for payment under such Letter of Credit or guaranty thereof, (D) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they may be in cipher, (E) errors in interpretation of technical terms, (F) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a payment under any Letter of Credit or guaranty thereof or of the proceeds thereof, (G) the credit of the proceeds of any drawing under any Letter of Credit or guaranty thereof, and (H) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer. None of the above shall affect, impair, or prevent the vesting of any of the Administrative Agent’s, the Collateral Agent’s, any Lender’s or any L/C Issuer’s rights or powers hereunder or under the Agreement.

A-6

(iii) Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit or to expand any waivers, covenants or indemnities made by Borrowers in favor of any L/C Issuer in any letter of credit application, reimbursement agreement or similar document, instrument or agreement between or among Borrowers and such L/C Issuer.

(k) Letter of Credit Amounts. Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the stated amount of such Letter of Credit as in effect at such time; provided, however, that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any document issued in connection with such Letter of Credit, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.

(l) Existing Letters of Credit. All Existing Letters of Credit and the IRP-Travelers Letter of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto, and from and after the Closing Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof.
