THE CREDITS

2.01 Amounts and Terms of Commitments and Loans. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each Revolving Lender severally agrees to advance to Borrowers from time to time during the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date such loans (each such loan, a “Revolving Loan”) in Dollars as Borrowers may request under this Section 2.01; provided, that after giving effect to any Borrowing of Revolving Loans:

(a) the Effective Amount of all Revolving Loans and L/C Obligations shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitment,

(b) the Effective Amount of the Revolving Loans of any Revolving Lender plus the participation of such Revolving Lender in the Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations shall not at any time exceed such Revolving Lender’s Commitment,

(c) the Effective Amount of all Revolving Loans and L/C Obligations shall not exceed the Borrowing Base then in effect, and

(d) the sum of (A) the Effective Amount of all Revolving Loans and L/C Obligations, plus (B) the outstanding amount of any Receivables Facility Indebtedness as of the such date shall not exceed the Borrowing Base (as defined in the Indenture) as of the date of such incurrence,

Within the limits of each Revolving Lender’s Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, Borrowers may borrow under this Section 2.01, prepay under Section 2.06 and reborrow under this Section 2.01.

2.02 Loan Accounts. The Loans made by each Lender and the Letters of Credit Issued by the Issuing Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Agent, the Issuing Lender and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to Borrowers and the Letters of Credit Issued for the accounts of Borrowers, and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure so to record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Loans or any Letter of Credit.

2.03 Procedure for Borrowing.

(a) Each Borrowing of Revolving Loans shall be made upon Borrowers’ irrevocable written notice delivered to the Agent in the form of a Notice of Borrowing, which notice must be received by the Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. (California time) on the requested Borrowing Date, specifying:

(i) the amount of the Borrowing, which shall be in a Minimum Amount;

(ii) the requested Borrowing Date, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) the Type of Loans comprising the Borrowing; and

(iv) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period applicable to such Loans included in such notice, subject to the provisions of the definition of “Interest Period” herein. If the Notice of Borrowing fails to specify the duration of the Interest Period for any Borrowing comprised of LIBOR Rate Loans, such Interest Period shall be one month.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at Agent’s election, in lieu of delivering written notice in the form of a Notice of Borrowing, any Responsible Officer may give Agent written notice in the form of electronic mail by the required time, which notice shall include all of the requirements set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above; provided, that each such notice submitted by Borrowers hereunder shall constitute a representation and warranty by Borrowers hereunder, as of the date of each such notice and as of each Borrowing Date, that the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 are satisfied.

(b) The Agent will promptly notify each Revolving Lender of its receipt of any Notice of Borrowing and of the amount of such Lender’s Proportionate Share of that Borrowing.

(c) Each Lender shall make the amount of such Lender’s Proportionate Share of the requested Borrowing available to the Agent in immediately available funds, to the Agent’s Account, not later than 12:00 p.m. (California time) on the Borrowing Date applicable thereto. After the Agent’s receipt of the proceeds of such Borrowing, the Agent shall make the proceeds thereof available to Borrowers on the applicable Borrowing Date by transferring immediately available funds equal to such proceeds received by the Agent to the Designated Account, unless on the date of the Borrowing all or any portion of the proceeds thereof shall then be required to be applied to the repayment of any outstanding Loans or L/C Obligations, in which case such proceeds or portion thereof shall be applied to the payment of such Loans or L/C Obligations.

2.04 Conversion and Continuation Elections.

(a) Borrowers may, upon irrevocable written notice to the Agent in accordance with Section 2.04(b):

(i) elect, as of any Business Day, in the case of Base Rate Loans, or as of the last day of the applicable Interest Period, in the case of any LIBOR Rate Loans, to convert any such Loans (or any part thereof in a Minimum Amount) into Loans of any other Type; or

(ii) elect, as of the last day of the applicable Interest Period, to continue any LIBOR Rate Loans having Interest Periods expiring on such day (or any part thereof in a Minimum Amount);

(b) Borrowers shall deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation to be received by the Agent (i) not later than 10:00 a.m. (California time) at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the Conversion/Continuation Date, if the Loans are to be converted into or continued as LIBOR Rate Loans, and (ii) prior to 10:00 a.m. (California time) on the Conversion/Continuation Date, if the Loans are to be converted into Base Rate Loans, specifying:

(i) the proposed Conversion/Continuation Date;

(ii) the aggregate amount of Loans to be converted or continued;

(iii) the Type of Loans resulting from the proposed conversion or continuation; and

(iv) other than in the case of conversions into Base Rate Loans, the duration of the requested Interest Period, subject to the provisions of the definition of “Interest Period” herein.

(c) If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to LIBOR Rate Loans, Borrowers have failed to select timely a new Interest Period to be applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loans, or if any Default then exists, Borrowers shall be deemed to have elected to convert such LIBOR Rate Loans into Base Rate Loans effective as of the expiration date of such Interest Period.

(d) The Agent will promptly notify each Revolving Lender of its receipt of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, or, if no timely notice is provided by Borrowers, the Agent will promptly notify each applicable Lender of the details of any automatic conversion. All conversions and continuations shall be made ratably according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans with respect to which the notice was given held by each Lender.

(e) Unless the Majority Lenders otherwise consent, during the existence of an Event of Default, Borrowers may not elect to have a Loan made as, converted into or continued as a LIBOR Rate Loan.

(f) After giving effect to any conversion or continuation of Loans, unless the Agent shall otherwise consent, there may not be more than eight (8) different Interest Periods in effect.

(g) Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, neither Agent, nor any Lender is required actually to acquire eurodollar deposits to fund or otherwise match fund any Loan as to which interest accrues at the LIBOR Rate.

2.05 Voluntary Termination or Reduction of Commitments. Borrowers may, at any time or from time to time, upon irrevocable written notice to the Agent provided prior to 11:00 a.m. (California time) on the day of such termination or reduction, terminate or permanently reduce the Commitments; provided, that such notice may state that it is conditioned upon the consummation of a refinancing or other transaction, in which case such notice may be revoked by Borrowers (by written notice to the Agent on or prior to the specified prepayment date), subject to Section 4.04, if such condition is not satisfied; provided further, that the aggregate amount of any partial reduction is in a Minimum Amount unless, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of any Revolving Loans made on the effective date thereof, (i) the Effective Amount of all Revolving Loans and L/C Obligations together would exceed the Aggregate Commitment then in effect, or (ii) the Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment then in effect. Once reduced in accordance with this Section 2.05, the Commitments may not be increased. Any reduction of the Commitments shall be applied to each Revolving Lender according to its Proportionate Share, and each reduction in the Commitments shall also reduce the L/C Commitment in a like amount. All accrued commitment and letter of credit fees to, but not including, the effective date of any reduction or termination of Commitments, shall be paid on the effective date of such reduction or termination.

If the Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to Borrowers.

For purposes of calculating the Available Commitment under this Section 2.10, the Commitments shall be deemed used to the extent of the Effective Amount of Revolving Loans then outstanding plus the Effective Amount of L/C Obligations then outstanding. Such Commitment Fees shall accrue from the Effective Date to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date and shall be due and payable monthly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar month, with the final payment to be made on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date; provided, that in connection with any termination of Commitments hereunder, the accrued Commitment Fees calculated for the period ending on such date shall also be paid

The Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Proportionate Share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Agent after 11:00 a.m. (California time) shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by Borrowers shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

(b) Funding by Lenders; Payments by Borrowers; Presumption by Agent.

(i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Agent. Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing (or prior to the time of any Borrowing, in the case of any same day advance of Loans) that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.03 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrowers a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Agent, then the applicable Lender and Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to Loans. If Borrowers and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Agent shall promptly remit to Borrowers the amount of such interest paid by Borrowers for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any claim Borrowers may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Agent.

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

A notice of the Agent to any Lender or Borrowers with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to Borrowers by the Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article V are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Agent shall promptly return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(d) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and to make payments pursuant to Section 11.04(b) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 11.04(b) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 11.04(b).

2.13 Sharing of Payments, Etc.

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein:

(i) Each Revolving Loan and reduction of the Aggregate Commitment shall be made or shared among the Revolving Lenders pro rata according to their respective Proportionate Shares;

(ii) Each payment of principal on Loans in any Borrowing shall be shared among the Lenders which made or funded the Loans in such Borrowing pro rata according to the respective unpaid principal amounts of such Loans then owed to such Lenders;

(iii) Each payment of interest on Loans in any Borrowing shall be shared among the Lenders that made or funded the Loans in such Borrowing pro rata according to (A) the respective unpaid principal amounts of such Loans so made or funded by such Lenders, and (B) the dates on which such Lenders so made or funded such Loans;

(iv) Each payment of Commitment Fees pursuant to this Agreement shall be shared among the Revolving Lenders (except for Defaulting Lenders) pro rata according to (A) their respective Proportionate Shares, and (B) in the case of each Revolving Lender which becomes a Revolving Lender hereunder after the date hereof, the date upon which such Revolving Lender so became a Revolving Lender;

(v) Each payment of any fees due in connection with any amendment hereto or any waiver of or forbearance from any Event of Default existing hereunder shall be shared among those Lenders consenting to such amendment, waiver or forbearance or as otherwise agreed to by such Lenders;

(vi) Except for fees payable under the Fee Letter and the Arranger Fee Letter, which shall be paid in accordance with the terms thereof respectively, each payment of interest (other than interest on Loans) and fees (other than Commitment Fees) shall be shared among the Lenders and the Agent owed the amount upon which such interest or fee accrues pro rata according to (A) the respective amounts so owed such Lenders and the Agent, and (B) the dates on which such amounts became owing to such Lenders and the Agent; and

(vii) All other payments under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be for the benefit of the Person or Persons specified.

(b) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations held by it or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans, subparticipations in L/C Obligations and participations in such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them; provided, that:

(i) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(ii) the provisions of this Section 2.13(b) shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement, or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations to any assignee or participant, other than to any Borrower (as to which the provisions of this Section 2.13(b) shall apply).

Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation. The Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 2.13(b) and will in each case notify the applicable Lenders following any such purchases or repayments.

2.14 Security and Guaranty.

(a) All Obligations under this Agreement and all other Loan Documents shall be secured in accordance with the Collateral Documents.

(b) All Obligations of any Borrower under this Agreement and all other Loan Documents to which such Borrower is a party shall be unconditionally guaranteed by each Guarantor pursuant to its Guaranty.

2.15 Accordion.

(a) At any time at the option of Borrowers (but subject to the conditions set forth in clause (b) below), the Commitment and the Aggregate Commitment may be increased by an amount in the aggregate for all such increases of the Commitment and the Aggregate Commitment not to exceed the Available Increase Amount (each such increase, an “Increase”). Agent shall invite each Lender to increase its Commitment (it being understood that no Lender shall be obligated to increase its Commitment) in connection with a proposed Increase at the interest margin proposed by Borrowers, and if sufficient Lenders do not agree to increase their Commitment in connection with such proposed Increase, then Agent or Borrowers may invite any prospective lender who is reasonably satisfactory to Agent and Administrative Borrower to become a Lender in connection with a proposed Increase. Any Increase shall be in an amount of at least $10,000,000 and integral multiples of $10,000,000 in excess thereof. In no event may the Commitment and the Aggregate Commitment be increased pursuant to this Section 2.15 on more than three occasions.

(b) Each of the following shall be conditions precedent to any Increase of the Commitment and the Aggregate Commitment:

(i) Agent or Borrowers have obtained the Commitment of one or more Lenders (or other prospective lenders) reasonably satisfactory to Agent and Administrative Borrower to provide the applicable Increase and any such Lenders (or prospective lenders), Administrative Borrower, and Agent have signed a joinder agreement to this Agreement (an “Increase Joinder”), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, to which such Lenders (or prospective lenders), Administrative Borrower, and Agent are party;

(ii) the representations and warranties in Article VI qualified as to materiality shall be true and correct and those not so qualified shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Increase Date (as defined below) with the same effect as if made on and as of such Increase Date (except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct as of such earlier date); provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the only representations and warranties relating to the target of a Permitted Acquisition and its Subsidiaries and their businesses in an acquisition agreement shall be (A) such of the representations and warranties made by either (x) in the case of a merger, the target of the merger in the acquisition agreement, or (y) in the case of an Equity Securities or asset acquisition, the sellers of such Equity Securities or assets (as applicable) in the acquisition agreement, in either case only to the extent that a Loan Party or a Loan Party’s applicable Affiliates have a right (without regard to any notice requirement) not to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Acquisition or to terminate their respective obligations under the acquisition agreement as a result of a breach of such representations and warranties, and (B) the Specified Representations;

(iii) no Default or Event of Default shall exist as of the Increase Date or shall result from such Increase;

(iv) Administrative Borrower has delivered to Agent updated pro forma projections (after giving effect to the applicable Increase) for Parent and its Subsidiaries;

(v) Borrowers shall have reached agreement with the Lenders (or prospective lenders) agreeing to the increased Commitment with respect to the interest margins applicable to Revolving Loans to be made pursuant to the increased Commitment (which interest margins may be higher than or equal to the interest margins applicable to Revolving Loans set forth in this Agreement immediately prior to the date of the increased Commitment (the date of the effectiveness of the increased Commitment and the Aggregate Commitment, the “Increase Date”)) and shall have communicated the amount of such interest margins to Agent. Any Increase Joinder may, with the consent of Agent, Administrative Borrower and the Lenders or prospective lenders agreeing to the proposed Increase, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the provisions of this Section 2.15 (including any amendment necessary to effectuate the interest margins for the Revolving Loans to be made pursuant to the increased Commitment). Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, if the interest margin that is to be applicable to the Revolving Loans to be made pursuant to the increased Commitment is higher than the interest margin applicable to the Revolving Loans immediately prior to the applicable Increase Date (the amount by which the interest margin is higher, the “Excess”), then the interest margin applicable to the Revolving Loans immediately prior to the Increase Date shall be increased by the amount of the Excess, effective on the applicable Increase Date, and without the necessity of any action by any party hereto;

(vi) Borrowers shall have reached agreement with the Lenders (or prospective lenders) agreeing to the increased Commitment with respect to any supplemental closing fee to be paid on account of the increased Commitment;

(vii) Borrowers and Agent shall have reached agreement on the amount of any agency fee to be paid by Borrowers to Agent on the Increase Date, as contemplated by the Fee Letter; and

(viii) the Chief Financial Officer of Parent shall have provided to Agent an officer’s certificate certifying that such Increase shall be permitted under the Senior Note Documents.

(c) Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, all references in this Agreement and any other Loan Document to Revolving Loans shall be deemed, unless the context otherwise requires, to include Revolving Loans made pursuant to the increased Commitment and the Aggregate Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.15.

(d) Each of the Lenders having a Commitment prior to the Increase Date (the “Pre-Increase Revolving Lenders”) shall assign to any Lender which is acquiring a new or additional Commitment on the Increase Date (the “Post-Increase Revolving Lenders”), and such Post-Increase Revolving Lenders shall purchase from each Pre-Increase Revolving Lender, at the principal amount thereof, such interests in the Revolving Loans and participation interests in Letters of Credit on such Increase Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Loans and participation interests in Letters of Credit will be held by Pre-Increase Revolving Lenders and Post-Increase Revolving Lenders ratably in accordance with their Proportionate Share after giving effect to such increased Commitments.

(e) The Revolving Loans, Commitments, and Aggregate Commitment established pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall constitute Revolving Loans, Commitment and Aggregate Commitment under, and shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded by, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall, without limiting the foregoing, benefit equally and ratably from any guarantees and the security interests created by the Loan Documents. Borrowers shall take any actions reasonably required by Agent to ensure and demonstrate that the Liens and security interests granted by the Loan Documents continue to be perfected under the Code or otherwise after giving effect to the establishment of any such new Commitment and Aggregate Commitment.

2.16 Protective Advances and Optional Overadvances.

(a) Any contrary provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document notwithstanding, the Agent hereby is authorized by Borrowers and the Lenders, from time to time in the Agent’s sole discretion, (A) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an 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 Revolving Loans to, or for the benefit of, Borrowers on behalf of the Revolving Lenders (in an aggregate amount for all such Revolving Loans taken together outstanding at any one time not exceeding the greater of (x) $45,000,000, and (y) 10% of the Aggregate Commitment) that Agent, in its Permitted Discretion deems necessary or desirable (1) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, or (2) to enhance the likelihood of repayment of the Obligations (other than the Bank Product Obligations) (any of the Revolving Loans described in this Section 2.16(a) shall be referred to as “Protective Advances”). Agent’s authorization to make Protective Advances may be revoked at any time by the Majority Lenders. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, to the extent that the making of any Protective Advance causes (i) the Effective Amount of Revolving Loans (including Protective Advances) and L/C Obligations (except for and excluding amounts charged to the Loan Account for interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses) to exceed the Aggregate Commitment, or (ii) any Lender’s Proportionate Share of the Effective Amount of Revolving Loans (including Protective Advances) and L/C Obligations (except for and excluding amounts charged to the Loan Account for interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses) to exceed such Lender’s Commitment, such portion of such Protective Advance shall be for Agent’s sole and separate account and not for the account of any Lender and shall be entitled to priority in repayment in accordance with Section 9.03.

(b) Any contrary provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document notwithstanding, the Lenders hereby authorize the Agent, and the Agent may, but is not obligated to, knowingly and intentionally, continue to make Revolving Loans to Borrowers notwithstanding that an Overadvance exists or thereby would be created, so long as (i) after giving effect to such Revolving Loans, the Effective Amount of Revolving Loans (including Protective Advances) and L/C Obligations does not exceed the Borrowing Base by more than the greater of (x) $45,000,000, and (y) 10% of the Aggregate Commitment, and (ii) after giving effect to such Revolving Loans, the Effective Amount of Revolving Loans (not including Protective Advances) and L/C Obligations (except for and excluding amounts charged to the Loan Account for interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses) does not exceed the Aggregate Commitment. In the event the Agent obtains actual knowledge that the Effective Amount of Revolving Loans and L/C Obligations exceeds the amounts permitted by the immediately foregoing provisions, regardless of the amount of, or reason for, such excess, the Agent shall notify the Lenders as soon as practicable (and prior to making any (or any additional) intentional Overadvances (except for and excluding amounts charged to the Loan Account for interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses) unless the Agent determines that prior notice would result in imminent harm to the Collateral or its value, in which case the Agent may make such Overadvances and provide notice as promptly as practicable thereafter), and the Revolving Lenders thereupon shall, together with the Agent, jointly determine the terms of arrangements that shall be implemented with Borrowers intended to reduce, within a reasonable time, the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans to Borrowers to an amount permitted by the preceding sentence. In such circumstances, if any Revolving Lender objects to the proposed terms of reduction or repayment of any Overadvance, the terms of reduction or repayment thereof shall be implemented according to the determination of the Majority Lenders. The foregoing provisions are meant for the benefit of the Lenders and the Agent and are not meant for the benefit of Borrowers, which shall

continue to be bound by the provisions of Section 2.07. Each Revolving Lender shall be obligated to settle with the Agent as provided in Section 2.17 for the amount of such Lender’s Proportionate Share of any unintentional Overadvances by the Agent reported to such Revolving Lender, any intentional Overadvances made as permitted under this Section 2.16(b), and any Overadvances resulting from the charging to the Loan Account of interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses. In any event if any Overadvance not otherwise made or permitted pursuant to this Section 2.16(b) remains outstanding for more than 60 days, unless otherwise agreed to by the Majority Lenders, Borrowers shall immediately repay Revolving Loans in an amount sufficient to eliminate all such Overadvances not otherwise made or permitted to this Section 2.16(b). Agent’s ability to require Lenders with Commitments to settle with Agent for intentional Overadvances as permitted under this Section 2.16(b) may be revoked at any time by the Majority Lenders. Any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon Agent’s receipt thereof.

(c) Each Protective Advance and each Overadvance shall be deemed to be a Revolving Loan hereunder, except that no Protective Advance or Overadvance shall be eligible to be a LIBOR Rate Loan and, prior to Settlement therefor, all payments on the Protective Advances shall be payable to the Agent solely for its own account. The Protective Advances and Overadvances shall be repayable on demand, secured by the Agent’s Liens, constitute Obligations hereunder, and bear interest at the rate applicable from time to time to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans. The ability of the Agent to make Protective Advances is separate and distinct from its ability to make Overadvances and its ability to make Overadvances is separate and distinct from its ability to make Protective Advances. For the avoidance of doubt, the limitations on the Agent’s ability to make Protective Advances do not apply to Overadvances and the limitations on the Agent’s ability to make Overadvances do not apply to Protective Advances. The provisions of this Section 2.16 are for the exclusive benefit of the Agent and the Lenders and are not intended to benefit Borrowers (or any other Loan Party) in any way.

2.17 Settlement. It is agreed that each Revolving Lender’s funded portion of the Revolving Loans is intended by the Revolving Lenders to equal, at all times, such Lender’s Proportionate Share of the outstanding Revolving Loans. Such agreement notwithstanding, the Agent and the Revolving Lenders agree (which agreement shall not be for the benefit of Borrowers) that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, settlement among the Revolving Lenders as to the Revolving Loans and the Protective Advances shall take place on a periodic basis in accordance with the following provisions:

(a) The Agent shall request settlement (“Settlement”) with the Revolving Lenders on a weekly basis, or on a more frequent basis if so determined by the Agent (1) for itself, with respect to the outstanding Protective Advances, and (2) with respect to any Borrower’s or any of their respective Subsidiaries’ Collections or payments received, as to each by notifying the Revolving Lenders by telecopy, telephone, or other similar form of transmission, of such requested Settlement, no later than 2:00 p.m. (California time) on the Business Day immediately prior to the date of such requested Settlement (the date of such requested Settlement being the “Settlement Date”). Such notice of a Settlement Date shall include a summary statement of the amount of outstanding Revolving Loans and Protective Advances for the period since the prior Settlement Date. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein: (y) if the amount of the Revolving Loans (including Protective Advances) made by a Revolving Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender exceeds such Lender’s Proportionate Share of the Revolving Loans (including Protective Advances) as of a Settlement Date, then the Agent shall, by no later than 12:00 p.m. (California time) on the Settlement Date, transfer in immediately available funds to a deposit account of such Revolving Lender (as such Revolving Lender may designate), an amount such that each such Revolving Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have as of the Settlement Date, its Proportionate Share of the Revolving Loans (including Protective Advances), and (z) if the amount of the Revolving Loans (including Protective Advances) made by a Revolving Lender is less than such

Revolving Lender’s Proportionate Share of the Revolving Loans (including Protective Advances) as of a Settlement Date, such Revolving Lender shall no later than 12:00 p.m. (California time) on the Settlement Date transfer in immediately available funds to the Agent’s Account, an amount such that each such Revolving Lender shall, upon transfer of such amount, have as of the Settlement Date, its Proportionate Share of the Revolving Loans (including Protective Advances). Such amounts made available to the Agent under clause (z) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be applied against the amounts of the applicable Protective Advances and shall constitute Revolving Loans of such Revolving Lenders. If any such amount is not made available to the Agent by any Revolving Lender on the Settlement Date applicable thereto to the extent required by the terms hereof, the Agent shall be entitled to recover for its account such amount on demand from such Revolving Lender together with interest thereon at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(b) In determining whether a Revolving Lender’s balance of the Revolving Loans and Protective Advances is less than, equal to, or greater than such Lender’s Proportionate Share of the Revolving Loans and Protective Advances as of a Settlement Date, the Agent shall, as part of the relevant Settlement, apply to such balance the portion of payments actually received in good funds by the Agent with respect to principal, interest, fees payable by Borrowers and allocable to the Revolving Lenders hereunder, and proceeds of Collateral.

(c) Between Settlement Dates, the Agent, to the extent Protective Advances are outstanding, may pay over to the Agent any Collections or payments received by the Agent, that in accordance with the terms of this Agreement would be applied to the reduction of the Revolving Loans, for application to the Protective Advances. During the period between Settlement Dates, the Agent with respect to Protective Advances, and each Revolving Lender (subject to the effect of agreements between the Agent and individual Lenders) with respect to the Revolving Loans and Protective Advances, shall be entitled to interest at the applicable rate or rates payable under this Agreement on the daily amount of funds employed by the Agent, or the Revolving Lenders, as applicable.

ARTICLE III.

THE LETTERS OF CREDIT

3.01 (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, upon the request of any Borrower made in accordance herewith, and prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, Issuing Lender agrees to Issue, or to cause an Underlying Issuer (including, as Issuing Lender’s agent) to Issue, a requested Letter of Credit for the account of Borrowers. If Issuing Lender, at its option, elects to cause an Underlying Issuer to Issue a requested Letter of Credit, then Issuing Lender agrees that it will enter into arrangements relative to the reimbursement of such Underlying Issuer (which may include, among other means, by becoming an applicant with respect to such Letter of Credit or entering into undertakings or other arrangements that provide for reimbursement of such Underlying Issuer with respect to such drawings under Letter of Credit; each such obligation or undertaking, irrespective of whether in writing, a “Reimbursement Undertaking”) with respect to Letters of Credit Issued by such Underlying Issuer for the account of Borrowers. By submitting a request to Issuing Lender for the Issuance of a Letter of Credit, Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested that (i) Issuing Lender Issue, or (ii) an Underlying Issuer Issue the requested Letter of Credit (and, in such case, to have requested Issuing Lender to Issue a Reimbursement Undertaking with respect to such requested Letter of Credit). Borrowers acknowledge and agree that Borrowers are and shall be deemed to be applicants (within the meaning of Section 5102(a)(2) of the UCC) with respect to each Underlying Letter of Credit. Each request for the Issuance of a Letter of Credit, or the amendment, renewal, or extension of any outstanding Letter of Credit, shall be irrevocable and shall be made in writing by a Responsible Officer of Administrative Borrower and

delivered to Issuing Lender via telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission reasonably acceptable to Issuing Lender and reasonably in advance of the requested date of Issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension. Each such request shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Issuing Lender and (i) shall specify (A) the amount of such Letter of Credit, (B) the date of Issuance, amendment, renewal, or extension of such Letter of Credit, (C) the proposed expiration date of such Letter of Credit, (D) the name and address of the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit, and (E) such other information (including, the conditions to drawing, and, in the case of an amendment, renewal, or extension, identification of the Letter of Credit to be so amended, renewed, or extended) as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew, or extend such Letter of Credit, and (ii) shall be accompanied by such Issuer Documents as Agent, Issuing Lender or Underlying Issuer may request or require, to the extent that such requests or requirements are consistent with the Issuer Documents that Issuing Lender or Underlying Issuer generally requests for Letters of Credit in similar circumstances. Issuing Lender’s or Underlying Issuer’s records of the content of any such request will be conclusive. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Issuing Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, Issue or cause the Issuance of a Letter of Credit or to Issue a Reimbursement Undertaking in respect of an Underlying Letter of Credit, in either case, that supports the obligations of Parent or its Subsidiaries (1) in respect of (A) a lease of real property, or (B) an employment contract, or (2) at any time that one or more of the Lenders is a Defaulting Lender.

(b) Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to Issue a Letter of Credit or a Reimbursement Undertaking in respect of an Underlying Letter of Credit, in either case, if any of the following would result after giving effect to the requested Issuance:

(i) the Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations would exceed the Borrowing Base less the Effective Amount of Revolving Loans, or

(ii) the Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Commitment, or

(iii) the Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations would exceed the Aggregate Commitment less the outstanding amount of Revolving Loans, or

(iv) the Effective Amount of all L/C Obligations would exceed an amount equal to (A) the Borrowing Base (as defined in the Indenture) as of the date of such incurrence, less (B) the sum of (i) the Effective Amount of Revolving Loans, plus (ii) the outstanding amount of the Receivables Facility Indebtedness as of such date.

(c) Issuing Lender shall have no obligation to Issue a Letter of Credit or a Reimbursement Undertaking in respect of an Underlying Letter of Credit, in either case, if (I) any order, judgment, or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall, by its terms, purport to enjoin or restrain Issuing Lender from Issuing such Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking or Underlying Issuer from Issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to Issuing Lender or Underlying Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over Issuing Lender or Underlying Issuer shall prohibit or request that Issuing Lender or Underlying Issuer refrain from the Issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking (as applicable) in particular, or (II) the Issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of Issuing Lender or Underlying Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally.

(d) Any Issuing Lender (other than WFCF or any of its Affiliates) shall notify Agent in writing no later than the Business Day immediately following the Business Day on which such Issuing Lender issued any Letter of Credit; provided, that (y) until Agent advises any such Issuing Lender that the provisions of Section 5.02 are not satisfied, or (z) unless the aggregate amount of the Letters of Credit issued in any such week exceeds such amount as shall be agreed by Agent and such Issuing Lender, such Issuing Lender shall be required to so notify Agent in writing only once each week of the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender during the immediately preceding week as well as the daily amounts outstanding for the prior week, such notice to be furnished on such day of the week as Agent and such Issuing Lender may agree. Each Loan Party and the Lender Group hereby acknowledge and agree that all Existing Letters of Credit shall constitute Letters of Credit under this Agreement on and after the date of this Agreement with the same effect as if such Existing Letters of Credit were Issued by Issuing Lender or an Underlying Issuer at the request of Borrowers on the date of this Agreement. Each Letter of Credit shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Issuing Lender, including the requirement that the amounts payable thereunder must be payable in Dollars. If Issuing Lender makes a payment under a Letter of Credit or an Underlying Issuer makes a payment under an Underlying Letter of Credit, Borrowers shall pay to Agent an amount equal to the applicable Letter of Credit Disbursement on the date such Letter of Credit Disbursement is made and, in the absence of such payment, the amount of the Letter of Credit Disbursement immediately and automatically shall be deemed to be a Revolving Loan hereunder (notwithstanding any failure to satisfy any condition precedent set forth in Section 5) and, initially, shall bear interest at the rate then applicable to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans. Without duplication of the immediately preceding sentence, if Issuing Lender or an Underlying Issuer makes a payment under a Guarantor L/C, Borrowers shall pay to Agent an amount equal to the applicable Letter of Credit Disbursement on the date such Letter of Credit Disbursement is made and, in the absence of such payment, the amount of the Letter of Credit Disbursement immediately and automatically shall be deemed to be a Revolving Loan hereunder and, initially, shall bear interest at the rate then applicable to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans (the obligations of Borrowers pursuant to this sentence are referred to herein as “Borrowers’ Guarantor L/C Obligations”). If a Letter of Credit Disbursement is deemed to be a Revolving Loan hereunder, Borrowers’ obligation to pay the amount of such Letter of Credit Disbursement to Issuing Lender shall be automatically converted into an obligation to pay the resulting Revolving Loan. Promptly following receipt by Agent of any payment from Borrowers pursuant to this paragraph, Agent shall distribute such payment to Issuing Lender or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to Section 3.01(e) to reimburse Issuing Lender, then to such Revolving Lenders and Issuing Lender as their interests may appear.

(e) Promptly following receipt of a notice of a Letter of Credit Disbursement pursuant to Section 3.01(d), each Revolving Lender agrees to fund its Proportionate Share of any Revolving Loan deemed made pursuant to Section 3.01(d) on the same terms and conditions as if Borrowers had requested the amount thereof as a Revolving Loan and Agent shall promptly pay to Issuing Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. By the Issuance of a Letter of Credit or a Reimbursement Undertaking (or an amendment, renewal, or extension of a Letter of Credit or a Reimbursement Undertaking) and without any further action on the part of Issuing Lender or the Revolving Lenders, Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have granted to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have purchased, a participation in each Letter of Credit Issued by Issuing Lender and each Reimbursement Undertaking, in an amount equal to its Proportionate Share of such Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking, and each Revolving Lender agrees to pay to Agent, for the account of Issuing Lender, such Revolving Lender’s Proportionate Share of any Letter of Credit Disbursement made by Issuing Lender or an Underlying Issuer under the applicable Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to Agent, for the account of Issuing Lender, such Revolving Lender’s Proportionate Share of each Letter of Credit Disbursement made by Issuing Lender or an Underlying Issuer and not reimbursed by Borrowers on the date due as provided in Section 3.01(d), or of any reimbursement payment that is required to be refunded (or that Agent or Issuing Lender elects, based upon the advice of counsel, to refund) to Borrowers for any reason. Each Revolving Lender

acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to deliver to Agent, for the account of Issuing Lender, an amount equal to its respective Proportionate Share of each Letter of Credit Disbursement pursuant to this Section 3.01(e) shall be absolute and unconditional and such remittance shall be made notwithstanding the occurrence or continuation of an Event of Default or Default or the failure to satisfy any condition set forth in Section 5.02. If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to Agent the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Proportionate Share of a Letter of Credit Disbursement as provided in this Section, such Revolving Lender shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender and Agent (for the account of Issuing Lender) shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Revolving Lender together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate until paid in full.

(f) Each Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless each member of the Lender Group (including Issuing Lender and its branches, Affiliates, and correspondents), each Underlying Issuer (including its branches, Affiliates, and correspondents), and each such Person’s respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys and agents (each, including Issuing Lender and Underlying Issuer, a “Letter of Credit Related Person”) (to the fullest extent permitted by law) from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, actions, investigations, proceedings, liabilities, fines, costs, penalties, and damages, and all reasonable fees and disbursements of attorneys, experts, or consultants and all other costs and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith or in connection with the enforcement of this indemnification (as and when they are incurred and irrespective of whether suit is brought), which may be incurred by or awarded against any such Letter of Credit Related Person (other than Taxes, which shall be governed by Section 4.01) (the “Letter of Credit Indemnified Costs”), and which arise out of or in connection with, or as a result of:

(i) any Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking or any pre-advice of its Issuance;

(ii) any transfer, sale, delivery, surrender or endorsement of any Drawing Document at any time(s) held by any such Letter of Credit Related Person in connection with any Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking;

(iii) any action or proceeding arising out of, or in connection with, any Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking (whether administrative, judicial or in connection with arbitration), including any action or proceeding to compel or restrain any presentation or payment under any Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking, or for the wrongful dishonor of, or honoring a presentation under, any Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking;

(iv) any independent undertakings issued by the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking;

(v) any unauthorized instruction or request made to Issuing Lender or Underlying Issuer in connection with any Letter of Credit or requested Letter of Credit, Reimbursement Undertaking or requested Reimbursement Undertaking, or error in computer or electronic transmission;

(vi) an adviser, confirmer or other nominated person seeking to be reimbursed, indemnified or compensated;

(vii) any third party seeking to enforce the rights of an applicant, beneficiary, nominated person, transferee, assignee of Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking proceeds or holder of an instrument or document;

(viii) the fraud, forgery or illegal action of parties other than the Letter of Credit Related Person;

(ix) Issuing Lender’s or Underlying Issuer’s performance of the obligations of a confirming institution or entity that wrongfully dishonors a confirmation; or

(x) the acts or omissions, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto governmental or regulatory authority or cause or event beyond the control of the Letter of Credit Related Person;

in each case, including that resulting from the Letter of Credit Related Person’s own negligence; provided, that such indemnity shall not be available to any Letter of Credit Related Person claiming indemnification under clauses (i) through (x) above to the extent that such Letter of Credit Indemnified Costs may be finally determined in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted directly from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Letter of Credit Related Person claiming indemnity. Each Borrower agrees to be bound by the Underlying Issuer’s regulations and interpretations of any Letter of Credit or by Issuing Lender’s interpretations of any Reimbursement Undertaking even though this interpretation may be different from such Borrower’s own. Borrowers understand that the Reimbursement Undertakings may require Issuing Lender to indemnify the Underlying Issuer for certain costs or liabilities arising out of claims by Borrowers against such Underlying Issuer. Each Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Issuing Lender and each other Letter of Credit Related Person from and against any and all Letter of Credit Indemnified Costs as a result of Issuing Lender’s indemnification of an Underlying Issuer; provided, that such indemnity shall not be available to any Letter of Credit Related Person claiming indemnification to the extent that such Letter of Credit Indemnified Costs may be finally determined in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted directly from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Letter of Credit Related Person claiming indemnity. Borrowers hereby agree to pay the Letter of Credit Related Person claiming indemnity on demand from time to time all amounts owing under this Section 3.01(f). If and to the extent that the obligations of Borrowers under this Section 3.01(f) are unenforceable for any reason, Borrowers agree to make the maximum contribution to the Letter of Credit Indemnified Costs permissible under applicable law. This indemnification provision shall survive termination of this Agreement, all Letters of Credit, and all Reimbursement Undertakings.

(g) The liability of Issuing Lender, Underlying Issuer, or any other Letter of Credit Related Person under, in connection with or arising out of any Letter of Credit (or pre-advice), regardless of the form or legal grounds of the action or proceeding, shall be limited to direct damages suffered by Borrowers that are caused directly by Issuing Lender’s or Underlying Issuer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in (i) honoring a presentation under a Letter of Credit that on its face does not at least substantially comply with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit, (ii) failing to honor a presentation under a Letter of Credit that strictly complies with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit, or (iii) retaining Drawing Documents presented under a Letter of Credit. Issuing Lender and Underlying Issuer shall be deemed to have acted with due diligence and reasonable care if Issuing Lender’s or Underlying Issuer’s conduct is in accordance with Standard Letter of Credit Practice or in accordance with this Agreement. Borrowers’ aggregate remedies against Issuing Lender, Underlying Issuer, and any Letter of Credit Related Person for wrongfully honoring a presentation under any Letter of Credit or wrongfully retaining honored Drawing Documents shall in no event exceed the aggregate amount paid by Borrowers to Issuing Lender in respect of the honored presentation in connection with such Letter of Credit under Section 3.01(d), plus interest at the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans hereunder. Borrowers shall take commercially reasonable action to avoid and mitigate the amount of any damages claimed against Issuing Lender, Underlying Issuer, or any other Letter of Credit Related Person, including by enforcing its rights against the beneficiaries of the Letters of Credit. Any claim by Borrowers under or in connection with any Letter of Credit shall be reduced by an amount equal to the sum of (x) the amount (if any) saved by Borrowers as a result of the breach or alleged wrongful conduct complained of; and (y) the amount (if any) of the loss that would have been avoided had Borrowers taken all reasonable steps to mitigate any loss, and in case of a claim of wrongful dishonor, by specifically and timely authorizing Issuing Lender to effect a cure.

(h) Borrowers are responsible for preparing or approving the final text of the Letter of Credit as issued by Issuing Lender or Underlying Issuer, irrespective of any assistance Issuing Lender or Underlying Issuer may provide such as drafting or recommending text or by Issuing Lender’s or Underlying Issuer’s use or refusal to use text submitted by Borrowers. Borrowers are solely responsible for the suitability of the Letter of Credit for Borrowers’ purposes. With respect to any Letter of Credit containing an “automatic amendment” to extend the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, Issuing Lender or Underlying Issuer, as applicable, in its sole and absolute discretion, may give notice of nonrenewal of such Letter of Credit and, if Borrowers do not at any time want such Letter of Credit to be renewed, Borrowers will so notify Agent and Issuing Lender at least 15 calendar days before Issuing Lender or Underlying Issuer, as applicable, is required to notify the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any advising bank of such nonrenewal pursuant to the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(i) Borrowers’ reimbursement and payment obligations under this Section 3.01 are absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever, including:

(i) any lack of validity, enforceability or legal effect of any Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any term or provision therein or herein;

(ii) payment against presentation of any draft, demand or claim for payment under any Drawing Document that does not comply in whole or in part with the terms of the applicable Letter of Credit or which proves to be fraudulent, forged or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, or which is signed, issued or presented by a Person or a transferee of such Person purporting to be a successor or transferee of the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit;

(iii) Issuing Lender, Underlying Issuer, or any of their respective branches or Affiliates being the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit;

(iv) Issuing Lender, Underlying Issuer, or any correspondent honoring a drawing against a Drawing Document up to the amount available under any Letter of Credit even if such Drawing Document claims an amount in excess of the amount available under the Letter of Credit;

(v) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that Parent, any of its Subsidiaries, or any other Person may have at any time against any beneficiary, any assignee of proceeds, Issuing Lender, Underlying Issuer, or any other Person;

(vi) any other event, circumstance or conduct whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing that might, but for this Section 3.01(i), constitute a legal or equitable defense to or discharge of, or provide a right of set-off against, any Borrower’s or any of their respective Subsidiaries’ reimbursement and other payment obligations and liabilities, arising under, or in connection with, any Letter of Credit, whether against Issuing Lender, Underlying Issuer, the beneficiary or any other Person; or

(vii) the fact that any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

provided, that subject to Section 3.01(g) above, the foregoing shall not release Issuing Lender or Underlying Issuer from such liability to Borrowers as may be finally determined in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction against Issuing Lender or Underlying Issuer following reimbursement or payment of the obligations and liabilities, including reimbursement and other payment obligations, of Borrowers to Issuing Lender or Underlying Issuer arising under, or in connection with, this Section 3.01 or any Letter of Credit.

(j) Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, Issuing Lender and each other Letter of Credit Related Person (if applicable) shall not be responsible to Borrowers for, and Issuing Lender’s rights and remedies against Borrowers and the obligation of Borrowers to reimburse Issuing Lender for each drawing under each Letter of Credit shall not be impaired by:

(i) honor of a presentation under any Letter of Credit that on its face substantially complies with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit, even if the Letter of Credit requires strict compliance by the beneficiary;

(ii) honor of a presentation of any Drawing Document that appears on its face to have been signed, presented or issued (A) by any purported successor or transferee of any beneficiary or other Person required to sign, present or issue such Drawing Document, or (B) under a new name of the beneficiary;

(iii) acceptance as a draft of any written or electronic demand or request for payment under a Letter of Credit, even if nonnegotiable or not in the form of a draft or notwithstanding any requirement that such draft, demand or request bear any or adequate reference to the Letter of Credit;

(iv) the identity or authority of any presenter or signer of any Drawing Document or the form, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any Drawing Document (other than Issuing Lender’s or Underlying Issuer’s determination that such Drawing Document appears on its face substantially to comply with the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit);

(v) acting upon any instruction or request relative to a Letter of Credit or requested Letter of Credit that Issuing Lender or Underlying Issuer in good faith believes to have been given by a Person authorized to give such instruction or request;

(vi) any errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any message, advice or document (regardless of how sent or transmitted) or for errors in interpretation of technical terms or in translation or any delay in giving or failing to give notice to Borrowers;

(vii) any acts, omissions or fraud by, or the insolvency of, any beneficiary, any nominated person or entity or any other Person or any breach of contract between the beneficiary and Borrowers or any of the parties to the underlying transaction to which the Letter of Credit relates;

(viii) assertion or waiver of any provision of the ISP or UCP that primarily benefits an issuer of a letter of credit, including any requirement that any Drawing Document be presented to it at a particular hour or place;

(ix) payment to any paying or negotiating bank (designated or permitted by the terms of the applicable Letter of Credit) claiming that it rightfully honored or is entitled to reimbursement or indemnity under Standard Letter of Credit Practice applicable to it;

(x) acting or failing to act as required or permitted under Standard Letter of Credit Practice applicable to where Issuing Lender or Underlying Issuer has issued, confirmed, advised or negotiated such Letter of Credit, as the case may be;

(xi) honor of a presentation after the expiration date of any Letter of Credit notwithstanding that a presentation was made prior to such expiration date and dishonored by Issuing Lender or Underlying Issuer if subsequently Issuing Lender, Underlying Issuer, or any court or other finder of fact determines such presentation should have been honored;

(xii) dishonor of any presentation that does not strictly comply or that is fraudulent, forged or otherwise not entitled to honor; or

(xiii) honor of a presentation that is subsequently determined by Issuing Lender or Underlying Issuer to have been made in violation of international, federal, state or local restrictions on the transaction of business with certain prohibited Persons.

(k) Borrowers hereby authorize and direct any Underlying Issuer to deliver to Issuing Lender all instruments, documents, and other writings and property received by such Underlying Issuer pursuant to such Underlying Letter of Credit and to accept and rely upon Issuing Lender’s instructions with respect to all matters arising in connection with such Underlying Letter of Credit and the related application.

(l) Borrowers acknowledge and agree that any and all (i) fees (other than fronting fees, which are the subject of clause (ii) below), charges, costs, or commissions in effect from time to time, of Issuing Lender relating to Letters of Credit or incurred by Issuing Lender relating to Underlying Letters of Credit, upon the Issuance of any Letter of Credit, upon the payment or negotiation of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, or upon the occurrence of any other activity with respect to any Letter of Credit (including the transfer, amendment, or cancellation of any Letter of Credit), and (ii) fronting fees related to Letters of Credit and Underlying Letters of Credit, in each case shall be Lender Group Expenses for purposes of this Agreement and shall be reimbursable immediately by Borrowers to Agent for the account of Issuing Lender; it being acknowledged and agreed by Borrowers that Issuing Lender is entitled to charge Borrowers a fronting fee of 0.125% per annum times the undrawn amount of each Letter of Credit.

(m) If by reason of (i) any Change in Law, or (ii) compliance by Issuing Lender, any other member of the Lender Group, or Underlying Issuer with any direction, request, or requirement (irrespective of whether having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority or monetary authority including, Regulation D of the FRB as from time to time in effect (and any successor thereto):

(i) any reserve, deposit, or similar requirement is or shall be imposed or modified in respect of any Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking Issued or caused to be Issued hereunder or hereby, or

(ii) there shall be imposed on Issuing Lender, any other member of the Lender Group, or Underlying Issuer any other condition regarding any Letter of Credit or Reimbursement Undertaking,

and the result of the foregoing is to increase, directly or indirectly, the cost to Issuing Lender, any other member of the Lender Group, or an Underlying Issuer of Issuing, making, participating in, or maintaining any Reimbursement Undertaking or Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount receivable in respect thereof, then, and in any such case, Agent may, at any time within a reasonable period after the additional cost is incurred or the amount received is reduced, notify Borrowers, and Borrowers shall pay within 30 days after demand therefor, such amounts as Agent may specify to be necessary to compensate Issuing Lender, any other member of the Lender Group, or an Underlying Issuer for such additional cost or reduced receipt, together with interest on such amount from the date of such demand until payment in full thereof at the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans hereunder; provided, that (A) Borrowers shall not be

required to provide any compensation pursuant to this Section 3.01(m) for any such amounts incurred more than 180 days prior to the date on which the demand for payment of such amounts is first made to Borrowers, and (B) if an event or circumstance giving rise to such amounts is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. The determination by Agent of any amount due pursuant to this Section 3.01(m), as set forth in a certificate setting forth the calculation thereof in reasonable detail, shall, in the absence of manifest or demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding on all of the parties hereto.

(n) Unless otherwise expressly agreed by Issuing Lender and Borrowers when a Letter of Credit is Issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), (i) the rules of the ISP and the UCP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the UCP shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.

(o) In the event of a direct conflict between the provisions of this Section 3.01 and any provision contained in any Issuer Document, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such provisions be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the terms and provisions of this Section 3.01 shall control and govern.

3.02 Cash Collateral Pledge. (a) If, as of the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, any Letters of Credit may for any reason remain outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, or (b) upon the occurrence of the circumstances described in Sections 2.07(a)(i) or 2.07(a)(iii) requiring Borrowers to Cash Collateralize Letters of Credit, or (c) upon the occurrence of the circumstances described elsewhere in Section 2.07(a) requiring Borrowers to Cash Collateralize Letters of Credit, then Borrowers shall immediately Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations. In the case of the preceding clauses (a) and (b), Borrowers shall, to the extent necessary, make such additional pledges from time to time as shall be necessary to ensure that all such L/C Obligations remain at all times fully Cash Collateralized. Cash collateral held to secure the L/C Obligations under this Section 3.02 and Section 9.02 shall be maintained in the L/C Cash Collateral Account pursuant to the Security Agreement. If L/C Obligations are Cash Collateralized pursuant to Section 2.07(a)(iii) and at any time thereafter the Borrowing Base then in effect exceeds the Effective Amount of all Revolving Loans, L/C Obligations (such excess amount, the “Excess Amount”), then Borrowers may request in writing that the Agent release funds from the L/C Cash Collateral Account in a Dollar amount (such amount, the “Requested Section 2.07(a)(iii) CC Release Amount”) not to exceed the Excess Amount, and promptly following its receipt of such written request the Agent shall, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, release such Requested Section 2.07(a)(iii) CC Release Amount; provided, that no Default or Event of Default then exists or would result therefrom and the Agent has received a certification to such effect from a Responsible Officer of Administrative Borrower. If L/C Obligations are Cash Collateralized pursuant to Sections 2.07(a)(iv) through 2.07(a)(viii) (such cash collateral in this clause (a), the “L/C Cash Collateral”), then so long as (i) no Default or Event of Default is existing or would result therefrom, (ii) such actions would otherwise be permitted under the Loan Documents, and (iii) to the extent (A) no Overadvance would occur therefrom, and (B) the L/C Obligations would not exceed the L/C Commitment therefrom, Borrowers may request from Agent in writing (each such written request, a “L/C CC Release Request”) that Agent release all or a portion of the L/C Cash Collateral (such requested released amount of L/C Cash Collateral, the “Requested L/C CC Release Amount”) specifying in detail in such L/C CC Release Request the amount of L/C Cash Collateral being released. Promptly following Agent’s receipt of such L/C CC Release Request, Agent shall release such Requested L/C CC Release Amount of the L/C Cash Collateral.

3.03 Letter of Credit Fees.

(a) Borrowers shall pay to the Agent for the account of each of the Revolving Lenders in accordance with its respective Proportionate Share a letter of credit fee with respect to the Letters of Credit equal to the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Fee Amount of the actual daily maximum amount available to be drawn of the outstanding Letters of Credit, computed on a monthly basis in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar month based upon Letters of Credit outstanding for that month as calculated by the Agent. Such letter of credit fees shall be due and payable monthly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar month during which Letters of Credit are outstanding, commencing on the first such monthly date to occur after the Effective Date, to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date (or such later date upon which the outstanding Letters of Credit shall expire), with the final payment to be made on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date (or such later expiration date). Such fees are fully earned when due and, once paid, are non-refundable.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 3.03(a), while any Event of Default exists or after acceleration, Borrowers shall pay a letter of credit fee (after as well as before entry of judgment thereon to the extent permitted by law) in cash on the actual daily maximum amount available to be drawn of the outstanding Letters of Credit, at a rate per annum which is determined by adding 2.00% per annum to the rate otherwise then in effect hereunder for such Letters of Credit.

ARTICLE IV.

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

4.01 Taxes.

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

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by Borrowers. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, Borrowers shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

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

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

(e) Status of Lenders. Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to Administrative Borrower (with a copy to the Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrowers or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by Borrowers or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrowers or the Agent as will enable Borrowers or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Lender shall deliver to Administrative Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of Borrowers or the Agent, but only if such Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

(i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,

(ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,

(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of any Loan Party within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN,

(iv) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, accompanied by all applicable supplementary documentation on behalf of the beneficial owners of the Loan interest,

(v) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, or

(vi) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Borrowers to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Administrative Borrower and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrowers or the Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional

documentation reasonably requested by Borrowers or the Agent as may be necessary for Borrowers and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this paragraph (e), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Administrative Borrower and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds and Credits. If the Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund or credit of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrowers or with respect to which Borrowers have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to Borrowers an amount equal to such refund or credit (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrowers under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund or credit), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund or credit); provided, that Borrowers, upon the request of the Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to Borrowers (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Lender in the event the Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Lender is required to repay such refund or credit to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Borrower or any other Person.

4.02 Illegality.

(a) If any Lender determines that the introduction of any Requirement of Law, or any Change in Law, or in the interpretation or administration of any Requirement of Law, has made it unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make or maintain Loans priced by reference to LIBOR, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to Administrative Borrower through the Agent, and solely with respect to such Lender’s Loans, the Base Rate shall apply instead of the LIBOR Rate and all references in this Agreement to “LIBOR Rate” shall instead be deemed to refer to “Base Rate” until such Lender notifies the Agent and Administrative Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.

(b) Before giving any notice to the Agent under this Section 4.02, the affected Lender shall designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice or making such demand and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be illegal or otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

4.03 Increased Costs.

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

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

(ii) subject any Lender or the Issuing Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or the Issuing Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 4.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax); or

(iii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing 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 or the Issuing Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or the Issuing Lender, Borrowers will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the Issuing Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the Issuing Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements or liquidity has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time Borrowers will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Lender delivered pursuant to Section 4.06 setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to Administrative Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrowers shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided, that Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, notifies Administrative Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine (9) month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

4.04 Funding Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Agent) from time to time, Borrowers shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a) any failure by Borrowers (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay or borrow any Loan on the date or in the amount notified by Borrowers; or

(b) any assignment of a Loan as a result of a request by Borrowers pursuant to Section 11.11 or any assignment required by Section 2.15(d);

including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by Borrowers to the Lenders under this Section 4.04, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Loan made by it by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Loan was in fact so funded.

4.05 Inability to Determine Rates. If the Agent or the Majority Lenders determine that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining LIBOR with respect to a proposed Borrowing of Loans or that LIBOR with respect to a proposed Borrowing does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loans, the Agent will promptly so notify Administrative Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, until the Agent upon the instruction of the Majority Lenders revokes such notice in writing, the Base Rate shall apply instead of the LIBOR Rate and all references in this Agreement to “LIBOR Rate” shall instead be deemed to refer to “Base Rate”.

4.06 Certificates of Lenders. Any Lender claiming reimbursement or compensation under this Article IV shall deliver to Administrative Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable to such Lender hereunder, and the basis for calculation of such amount, and such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on Borrowers in the absence of manifest error.

4.07 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.03, or Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 4.02, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.01 or 4.03, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 4.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.03, or if Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.01, Borrowers may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 11.11.

4.08 Survival. The agreements and obligations of Borrowers in this Article IV shall survive the termination of the Commitments, the termination or expiration of all Letters of Credit and the payment of all other Obligations.

ARTICLE VI.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Each Loan Party represents and warrants to the Agent and each Lender that:

6.01 Corporate Existence and Power. Parent and each of its Subsidiaries (other than any Insignificant Subsidiaries):

(a) is a corporation, limited liability company or partnership duly organized or formed, as the case may be, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation;

(b) has the power and authority and all governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals (i) to own its assets and carry on its business, and (ii) in the case of any Loan Party, to execute, deliver, and perform its obligations under the Loan Documents;

(d) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law;

except, in each case referred to in clauses (b)(i), (c) or (d) of this Section 6.01, to the extent that the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

6.02 Corporate Authorization; No Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of this Agreement and each other Loan Document to which such Loan Party is party, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, limited liability company or other applicable organizational action, and do not and will not:

(a) contravene the terms of any of that Person’s Organization Documents;

(b) conflict with or result in any breach or contravention of, or the creation of any Lien under, any document evidencing any Indebtedness or any material Contractual Obligation to which such Person is a party or any order, injunction, writ or decree of any Governmental Authority to which such Person or its property is subject; or

6.03 Governmental Authorization. No approval, consent, exemption, authorization, or other action by, or notice to, or filing with, any Governmental Authority (except for recordings or filings in connection with the Liens granted to the Agent under the Collateral Documents and any filings that may be required under Securities Laws in connection with the enforcement of such Liens) is necessary or required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by, or enforcement against, any Loan Party of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

6.04 Binding Effect. This Agreement and each other Loan Document to which any Loan Party is a party constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Loan Party, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with their respective terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability.

6.05 Litigation. Except as specifically disclosed in Schedule 6.05, there are no actions, suits, proceedings, claims or disputes pending, or to the best knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened or contemplated, at law, in equity, in arbitration or before any Governmental Authority, against any Loan Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties which:

(a) purport to affect or pertain to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; or

(c) Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (i) no ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur; (ii) no Pension Plan has any Unfunded Pension Liability; (iii) no Loan Party nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred, or reasonably expects to incur, any liability under Title IV of ERISA with respect to any Pension Plan (other than premiums due and not delinquent under section 4007 of ERISA); (iv) no Loan Party nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred, or reasonably expects to incur, any liability (and no event has occurred which, with the giving of notice under section 4219 of ERISA, would result in such liability) under section 4201 or 4243 of ERISA with respect to a Multiemployer Plan; and (v) no Loan Party nor any ERISA Affiliate has engaged in a transaction that could be subject to section 4069 or 4212(c) of ERISA.

Parent and its Subsidiaries have filed all federal and other material tax returns and reports required to be filed, and have paid all federal and other material taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental charges levied or imposed upon them or their properties, income or assets otherwise due and payable, except those which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been provided in accordance with GAAP.

ARTICLE X.

THE AGENT

10.01 Appointment and Authorization of Agent. Each Lender hereby designates and appoints WFCF as its agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement or Hedge Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to designate, appoint, and authorize) the Agent to execute and deliver each of the other Loan Documents on its behalf and to take such other action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Agent by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agent agrees to act as agent for and on behalf of the Lenders (and the Bank Product Providers) on the conditions contained in this Article X. Any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document notwithstanding, the Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents, nor shall the Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender (or Bank Product Provider), and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents with reference to the Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only a representative relationship between independent contracting parties. Each Lender hereby further authorizes (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement or Hedge Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to authorize) the Agent to act as the secured party under each of the Loan Documents that create a Lien on any item of Collateral. Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Agent shall have and may use its sole discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any discretionary rights or taking or refraining from taking any actions that the Agent expressly is entitled to take or assert under or pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, or of any other provision of the Loan Documents that provides rights or powers to the Agent, Lenders agree that the Agent shall have the right to exercise the following powers as long as this Agreement remains in effect: (a) maintain, in accordance with its customary business practices, ledgers and records reflecting the status of the Obligations, the Collateral, the Collections of Parent and its Subsidiaries, and related matters, (b) execute or file any and all financing or similar statements or notices, amendments, renewals, supplements, documents, instruments, proofs of claim, notices and other written agreements with respect to the Loan Documents, (c) make Revolving Loans, for itself or on behalf of Lenders, as provided in the Loan Documents, (d) exclusively receive, apply, and distribute the Collections of Parent and its Subsidiaries as provided in the Loan Documents, (e) open and maintain such bank accounts and cash management arrangements as the Agent deems necessary and appropriate in accordance with the Loan Documents for the foregoing purposes with respect to the Collateral and the Collections of Parent and its Subsidiaries, (f) perform, exercise, and enforce any and all other rights and remedies of the Lender Group with respect to Parent or its Subsidiaries, the Obligations, the Collateral, the Collections of Parent and its Subsidiaries, or otherwise related to any of same as provided in the Loan Documents, and (g) incur and pay such Lender Group Expenses as the Agent may deem necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions and powers pursuant to the Loan Documents.

109

10.02 Delegation of Duties. The Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys in fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Agent shall not 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.

10.03 Liability of Agent. None of the Agent Related Persons shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders (or Bank Product Providers) for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or any officer or director thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of Parent or its Subsidiaries or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lenders (or Bank Product Providers) to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the books and records or properties of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries.

10.04 Reliance by Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission, telex or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent, or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Loan Parties or counsel to any Lender), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent. The Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless the Agent shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Lenders as it deems appropriate and until such instructions are received, the Agent shall act, or refrain from acting, as it deems advisable. If the Agent so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Lenders (and, if it so elects, the Bank Product Providers) against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Agent shall in all cases 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 requisite Lenders and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Lenders (and Bank Product Providers).

10.05 Notice of Default or Event of Default. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest, fees, and expenses required to be paid to the Agent for the account of the Lenders and, except with respect to Events of Default of which the Agent has actual knowledge, unless the Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or Administrative Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default, and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Agent promptly will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice or of any Event of Default of which the Agent has actual knowledge. If any Lender obtains actual knowledge of any Event of Default, such Lender promptly shall notify the other Lenders and the Agent of such Event of Default. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for giving any notices to its Participants, if any. Subject to Section 10.04, the Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Majority Lenders in accordance with Article IX; provided, that unless and until the Agent has received any such request, the 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.

110

10.06 Credit Decision. Each Lender (and Bank Product Provider) acknowledges that none of the Agent Related Persons has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of Parent and its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent Related Person to any Lender (or Bank Product Provider). Each Lender represents (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement or Hedge Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to represent) to the Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent Related Person and based on such due diligence, 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 any Loan Party or any other Person 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 Borrowers. Each Lender also represents (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement or Hedge Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to represent) 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 any Loan Party or any other Person party to a Loan Document. Except for notices, reports, and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agent, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender (or Bank Product Provider) with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any other Person party to a Loan Document that may come into the possession of any of the Agent Related Persons. Each Lender acknowledges (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement or Hedge Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to acknowledge) that the Agent does not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis (except to the extent, if any, that is expressly specified herein) to provide such Lender (or Bank Product Provider) with any credit or other information with respect to any Loan Party, any of their respective Affiliates, or any of their respective business, legal, financial or other affairs, and irrespective of whether such information came into the Agent’s or its Affiliates’ or representatives’ possession before or after the date on which such Lender became a party to this Agreement (or such Bank Product Provider entered into a Bank Product Agreement or Hedge Agreement).

10.07 Costs and Expenses; Indemnification. The Agent may incur and pay Lender Group Expenses to the extent the Agent reasonably deems necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions, powers, and obligations pursuant to the Loan Documents, including court costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses, fees and expenses of financial accountants, advisors, consultants, and appraisers, costs of collection by outside collection agencies, auctioneer fees and expenses, and costs of security guards or insurance premiums paid to maintain the Collateral, whether or not any Loan Party is obligated to reimburse the Agent or Lenders for such expenses pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise. The Agent is authorized and directed to deduct and retain sufficient amounts from the Collections of Parent and its Subsidiaries received by the Agent to reimburse the Agent for such out-of-pocket costs and expenses prior to the distribution of any amounts to Lenders (or Bank Product Providers). In the event the Agent is not reimbursed for such costs and expenses by Parent or its Subsidiaries, each Lender hereby agrees that it is and shall be obligated to pay to the Agent such Lender’s Proportionate Share thereof. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand the Agent Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of Borrowers to do so), according to their Proportionate Shares, from and

111

against any and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting solely from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct nor shall any Lender be liable for the obligations of any Defaulting Lender in failing to make a Revolving Loan or other extension of credit hereunder. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Agent upon demand for such Lender’s Proportionate Share of any costs or out of pocket expenses (including attorneys, accountants, advisors, and consultants fees and expenses) incurred by the 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, to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Borrowers. The undertaking in this Section shall survive the payment of all Obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement of the Agent.

10.08 Agent in Individual Capacity. WFCF and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, provide Bank Products to, acquire equity interests in, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting, or other business with Parent and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and any other Person party to any Loan Document as though WFCF were not the Agent hereunder, and, in each case, without notice to or consent of the other members of the Lender Group. The other members of the Lender Group acknowledge (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to acknowledge) that, pursuant to such activities, WFCF or its Affiliates may receive information regarding Parent or its Affiliates or any other Person party to any Loan Documents that is subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of Parent or its Affiliate or such other Person and that prohibit the disclosure of such information to the Lenders (or Bank Product Providers), and the Lenders acknowledge (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement or Hedge Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to acknowledge) that, in such circumstances (and in the absence of a waiver of such confidentiality obligations, which waiver the Agent will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain), the Agent shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to them. The terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include WFCF in its individual capacity.

10.09 Successor Agent. The Agent may resign as Agent upon 30 days prior written notice to the Lenders (unless such notice is waived by the Majority Lenders) and Administrative Borrower (unless such notice is waived by Administrative Borrower) and without any notice to the Bank Product Providers. If the Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Majority Lenders shall be entitled, with (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) the consent of Administrative Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned), appoint a successor Agent for the Lenders (and the Bank Product Providers). If, at the time that the Agent’s resignation is effective, it is acting as the Issuing Lender, such resignation shall also operate to effectuate its resignation as Issuing Lender, and it shall automatically be relieved of any further obligation to issue Letters of Credit or to cause the Underlying Issuer to issue Letters of Credit. If no successor Agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Agent, the Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and Administrative Borrower, a successor Agent. If the Agent has materially breached or failed to perform any material provision of this Agreement or of applicable law, the Majority Lenders may agree in writing to remove and replace the Agent with a successor Agent from among the Lenders with (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) the consent of Administrative Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned). In any such event, upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor Agent hereunder, such successor Agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers, and duties of the retiring Agent and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor Agent and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers, and duties as Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article X shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. If no successor Agent has

112

accepted appointment as Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above.

10.10 Lender in Individual Capacity. Any Lender and its respective Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, provide Bank Products to, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting, or other business with Parent and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and any other Person party to any Loan Documents as though such Lender were not a Lender hereunder without notice to or consent of the other members of the Lender Group (or the Bank Product Providers). The other members of the Lender Group acknowledge (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement or Hedge Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to acknowledge) that, pursuant to such activities, such Lender and its respective Affiliates may receive information regarding Parent or its Affiliates or any other Person party to any Loan Documents that is subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of Parent or its Affiliate or such other Person and that prohibit the disclosure of such information to the Lenders, and the Lenders acknowledge (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement or Hedge Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to acknowledge) that, in such circumstances (and in the absence of a waiver of such confidentiality obligations, which waiver such Lender will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain), such Lender shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to them.

10.11 Collateral Matters.

(a) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement or Hedge Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to authorize) the Agent to release any Lien on any Collateral (i) upon the termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction in full by the Loan Parties of all of the Obligations, (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if a release is required or desirable in connection therewith and if Administrative Borrower certifies to the Agent that the sale or disposition is permitted under this Agreement (and the Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry), (iii) constituting property in which Parent or any of its Subsidiaries owned no interest at the time the Agent’s Lien was granted nor at any time thereafter, (iv) constituting property leased or licensed to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries under a lease or license that has expired or is terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement, or (v) in connection with a credit bid or purchase authorized under this Section 10.11. The Loan Parties and the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement or Hedge Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to authorize) the Agent, based upon the instruction of the Majority Lenders, to credit bid and purchase (either directly or indirectly through one or more entities) all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale thereof conducted or consented to by the Agent under the provisions of the UCC, including pursuant to Sections 9610 or 9620 of the UCC, at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, or at any sale or foreclosure conducted or consented to by the Agent in accordance with applicable law in any judicial action or proceeding or by the exercise of any legal or equitable remedy. Except as provided above, the Agent will not execute and deliver a release of any Lien on any Collateral without the prior written authorization of (y) if the release is of all or substantially all of the Collateral, all of the Lenders (without requiring the authorization of the Bank Product Providers), or (z) otherwise, the Majority Lenders (without requiring the authorization of the Bank Product Providers). Upon request by the Agent or Administrative Borrower at any time, the Lenders will (and is so requested, the Bank Product Providers will) confirm in writing the Agent’s authority to release any such Liens on particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 10.11; provided, that (1) anything to the contrary contained in any of the Loan Documents notwithstanding, the Agent shall not be required to execute any document or take any action necessary to evidence such release on terms that, in the Agent’s

113

opinion, could expose the Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Lien without recourse, representation, or warranty, and (2) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly released) upon (or obligations of Loan Parties in respect of) any and all interests retained by any Loan Party, including, the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. Each Lender further hereby irrevocably authorize (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement or Hedge Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to irrevocably authorize) the Agent, at its option and in its sole discretion, to subordinate any Lien granted to or held by the Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Permitted Lien on such property if such Permitted Lien secures purchase money indebtedness permitted under this Agreement.

(b) The Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any of the Lenders (or the Bank Product Providers) (i) to verify or assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, (ii) to verify or assure that the Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, (iii) to verify or assure that any particular items of Collateral meet the eligibility criteria applicable in respect thereof, (iv) to impose, maintain, increase, reduce, implement, or eliminate any particular reserve hereunder or to determine whether the amount of any reserve is appropriate or not, or (v) 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 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 Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion given the Agent’s own interest in the Collateral in its capacity as one of the Lenders and that the Agent shall have no other duty or liability whatsoever to any Lender (or Bank Product Provider) as to any of the foregoing, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.

10.12 Restrictions on Actions by Lenders; Sharing of Payments.

(a) Each of the Lenders agrees that it shall not, without the express written consent of the Agent, set off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by such Lender to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or any deposit accounts of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Each of the Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so in writing by the Agent, take or cause to be taken any action, including, the commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings to enforce any Loan Document against Parent, any Borrower or any other Guarantor or to foreclose any Lien on, or otherwise enforce any security interest in, any of the Collateral.

(b) If, at any time or times any Lender shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, setoff, or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations, except for any such proceeds or payments received by such Lender from the Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) payments from the Agent in excess of such Lender’s Proportionate Share of all such distributions by the Agent, such Lender promptly shall (A) turn the same over to the Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to the Agent, or in immediately available funds, as applicable, for the account of all of the Lenders and for application to the Obligations in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, or (B) purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in the Obligations owed to the other Lenders so that such excess payment received shall be applied ratably as among the Lenders in accordance with their Proportionate Shares; provided, that to the extent that such excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases of participations shall be rescinded in whole or in part, as applicable, and the applicable portion of the purchase price paid therefor shall be returned to such purchasing party, but without interest except to the extent that such purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with the recovery of the excess payment.

114

10.13 Agency for Perfection. The Agent hereby appoints each other Lender (and each Bank Product Provider) as its agent (and each Lender hereby accepts (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement or Hedge Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to accept) such appointment) for the purpose of perfecting the Agent’s Liens in assets which, in accordance with Article 8 or Article 9, as applicable, of the UCC can be perfected by possession or control. Should any Lender obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Agent’s request therefor shall deliver possession or control of such Collateral to the Agent or in accordance with the Agent’s instructions.

10.14 Payments by Agent to the Lenders. All payments to be made by the Agent to the Lenders (or Bank Product Providers) shall be made by bank wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to such wire transfer instructions as each party may designate for itself by written notice to the Agent. Concurrently with each such payment, the Agent shall identify whether such payment (or any portion thereof) represents principal, premium, fees, or interest of the Obligations.

10.15 Concerning the Collateral and Related Loan Documents. Each member of the Lender Group authorizes and directs the Agent to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each member of the Lender Group agrees (and by entering into a Bank Product Agreement or Hedge Agreement, each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed to agree) that any action taken by the Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents relating to the Collateral and the exercise by the Agent of its powers set forth therein or herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Lenders (and such Bank Product Provider).

10.16 Audits and Examination Reports; Confidentiality; Disclaimers by Lenders; Other Reports and Information. By becoming a party to this Agreement, each Lender:

(a) is deemed to have requested that the Agent furnish such Lender, promptly after it becomes available, a copy of each field audit or examination report respecting Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (each a “Report” and collectively, “Reports”) prepared by or at the request of the Agent, and the Agent shall so furnish each Lender with such Reports,

(b) expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Agent does not (i) make any representation or warranty as to the accuracy of any Report, and (ii) shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report,

(c) expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, that the Agent or other party performing any audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding Parent and its Subsidiaries and will rely significantly upon Parent’s and its Subsidiaries’ books and records, as well as on representations of Parent’s and its Subsidiaries’ personnel,

(d) agrees to keep all Reports and other material, non-public information regarding Parent and its Subsidiaries and their operations, assets, and existing and contemplated business plans in a confidential manner in accordance with Section 11.07, and

In addition to the foregoing: (x) any Lender may from time to time request of the Agent in writing that the Agent provide to such Lender a copy of any report or document provided by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to the Agent that has not been contemporaneously provided by Parent or such Subsidiary to such Lender, and, upon receipt of such request, the Agent promptly shall provide a copy of same to such Lender, (y) to the extent that the Agent is entitled, under any provision of the Loan Documents, to request additional reports or information from Parent or its Subsidiaries, any Lender may, from time to time, reasonably request the Agent to exercise such right as specified in such Lender’s notice to the Agent, whereupon the Agent promptly shall request of Administrative Borrower the additional reports or information reasonably specified by such Lender, and, upon receipt thereof from Parent or such Subsidiary, the Agent promptly shall provide a copy of same to such Lender, and (z) any time that the Agent renders to Administrative Borrower a statement regarding the Loan Account, the Agent shall send a copy of such statement to each Lender.

10.17 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 the Agent in its capacity as such, and not by or in favor of the Lenders, any and all obligations on the part of the 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 any interest in, or subject any Lender to any liability for, or in respect of, the business, assets, profits, losses, or liabilities of any other Lender.

No Lender shall be responsible to Borrowers or any other Person for any failure by any other Lender (or Bank Product Provider) to fulfill its obligations to make credit available hereunder, nor to advance for such Lender (or Bank Product Provider) or on its behalf, nor to take any other action on behalf of such Lender (or Bank Product Provider) hereunder or in connection with the financing contemplated herein.

10.18 Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Agent shall have made any demand on any Loan Party) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Defaulting Lender shall not have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased without its consent, nor may any amendment, waiver or consent (i) reduce or forgive the principal of, or accrued and unpaid interest on, the outstanding Loans of such Lender or any accrued fee or other accrued amount payable to such Lender, or (ii) postpone or delay any date fixed by this Agreement or any other Loan Document for any payment of principal, interest, fees, or other amounts due hereunder or under any other Loan Document to such Lender, in each case without its consent.

(b) In connection with any such proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of all Revolving Lenders or all Lenders, as the case may be, if the consent of the Majority Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in this Section 11.01 being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, so long as the Lender that is acting as the Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, Borrowers may replace such Non-Consenting Lender in accordance with Section 11.11.

No failure or delay by the Agent or any Lender in exercising any right under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right hereunder or thereunder nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other further exercise thereof or of any other right hereunder or thereunder. Unless otherwise specified in such waiver or consent, a waiver or consent given hereunder shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. The Lenders may condition the giving or making of any amendment, waiver or consent of any term, covenant, agreement or condition of this Agreement or any other Loan Document on payment of a fee by Borrowers.

11.02 Notices; Effectiveness; Electronic Communication.

(a) Notices Generally. Except in the case of notices and other communications expressly permitted to be given by telephone (and except as provided in subsection (b) below), all notices and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by telecopier as follows, and all notices and other communications expressly permitted hereunder to be given by telephone shall be made to the applicable telephone number, as follows:

Notices delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in subsection (b) below, shall be effective as provided in such subsection (b).

119

(b) Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to the Lenders and the Issuing Lender hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Agent; provided, that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender or the Issuing Lender pursuant to Article II or Article III if such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as applicable, has notified the Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. The Agent or Borrowers may, in its or their discretion, as applicable, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

Unless the Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement); provided, that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

(c) Change of Address, Etc. Each of each Loan Party, the Agent and the Issuing Lender may change its address, telecopier or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. Each other Lender may change its address, telecopier or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to Administrative Borrower, the Agent and the Issuing Lender.

(d) Reliance by Agent, Issuing Lender and Lenders. The Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic Notices of Borrowing) purportedly given by or on behalf of Borrowers even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. Borrowers shall indemnify the Agent, the Issuing Lender, each Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of Borrowers. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the Agent may be recorded by the Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

11.03 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights provided for in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other rights, powers, privileges or remedies provided by law or in equity, or under any other instrument, document or agreement now existing or hereafter arising.

120

11.04 Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a) Indemnification by Borrowers. Borrowers shall indemnify the Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender and the Issuing Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), and shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from all fees and time charges and disbursements for attorneys who may be employees of any Indemnitee, incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by any Borrower or any other Loan Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case of the Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Lender to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Claims related in any way to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by any Borrower or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (each and all of the foregoing, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, or (y) result from a claim brought by any Borrower or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if such Borrower or such Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. This Section 11.04(a) shall not apply with respect to Taxes (which is governed in Section 4.01).

(b) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that Borrowers for any reason fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to the Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Issuing Lender or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Issuing Lender or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Proportionate Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided, that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Agent (or any such sub-agent) or the Issuing Lender in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Agent (or any such sub-agent) or Issuing Lender in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(d).

(c) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no Borrower shall assert, and each Borrower hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended

121

recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(d) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor.

(e) Survival. The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of the Agent and the Issuing Lender, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitment and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.

11.05 Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. Neither the Agent nor the Lenders shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Borrower or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any Loan Party makes a payment to the Agent or the Lenders, or the Agent or the Lenders exercise their right of set-off, and such payment or the proceeds of such set-off or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such set-off had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent upon demand its Proportionate Share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Agent.

11.06 Assignments and Participations.

(a) With the prior written consent of Administrative Borrower, which consent of Administrative Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, and shall not be required (1) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or (2) in connection with an assignment to a Person that is a Lender or an Affiliate (other than natural persons) or Related Fund of a Lender and with the prior written consent of the Agent, which consent of the Agent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, and shall not be required in connection with an assignment to a Person that is a Lender or an Affiliate (other than natural persons) or Related Fund of a Lender, any Lender may assign and delegate to one or more assignees (each, an “Assignee”; provided, that no Loan Party or Affiliate of a Loan Party shall be permitted to become an Assignee and no natural person shall be permitted to become an Assignee) all or any portion of the Obligations, the Commitments and the other rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, in a minimum amount (unless waived by the Agent) of, with respect to assignments of the Commitments or the Revolving Loans, $5,000,000 (except such minimum amount shall not apply to (x) an assignment or delegation by any Lender to any other Lender or an Affiliate of any Lender, or (y) a group of new Lenders, each of which is an Affiliate of each other or a Related Fund of such new Lender to the extent that the aggregate amount to be assigned to all such new Lenders is at least $5,000,000); provided, that Borrowers and the Agent may continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interest so assigned to an Assignee until (i) written notice of such assignment, together with payment instructions, addresses, and related information with respect to the Assignee, have been given to Administrative Borrower and the Agent by such Lender and the Assignee, (ii) such Lender and its Assignee have delivered to Administrative Borrower and the Agent an Assignment and Acceptance and the Agent has notified the assigning Lender of its receipt thereof in accordance with Section 11.06(b), and (iii) unless waived by the Agent, the assigning Lender or Assignee has paid to the Agent for the Agent’s separate account a processing fee in the amount of $3,500.

122

(b) From and after the date that the Agent notifies the assigning Lender (with a copy to Administrative Borrower) that it has received an executed Assignment and Acceptance and, if applicable, payment of the required processing fee, (i) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, shall be a “Lender” and shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, and (ii) the assigning Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (except with respect to Section 11.04(a)) and be released from any future obligations under this Agreement (and in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto and thereto); provided, that nothing contained herein shall release any assigning Lender from obligations that survive the termination of this Agreement, including such assigning Lender’s obligations under Article X and Section 11.07.

(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the Assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto, (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Loan Party or the performance or observance by any Loan Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto, (iii) such Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance, (iv) such Assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, (v) such Assignee appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such actions and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Agent, by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, and (vi) such Assignee agrees that it will perform all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(d) Immediately upon the Agent’s receipt of the required processing fee, if applicable, and delivery of notice to the assigning Lender pursuant to Section 11.06(b), this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of the Assignee and the resulting adjustment of the Commitments arising therefrom. The Commitment allocated to each Assignee shall reduce such Commitments of the assigning Lender pro tanto.

(e) Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks, financial institutions, or other Persons (a “Participant”) participating interests in all or any portion of its Obligations, its Commitment, and the other rights and interests of that Lender (the “Originating Lender”) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided, that (i) the Originating Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Participant receiving the participating interest in the Obligations, the Commitments, and the other rights and interests of the Originating Lender hereunder shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and the Originating Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Originating Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, (iii) Borrowers, the Agent, and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Originating Lender in connection with the Originating Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the

123

other Loan Documents, (iv) no Lender shall transfer or grant any participating interest under which the Participant has the right to approve any amendment to, or any consent or waiver with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except to the extent such amendment to, or consent or waiver with respect to this Agreement or of any other Loan Document would (A) extend the final maturity date of the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is participating, (B) reduce the interest rate applicable to the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is participating, (C) release all or substantially all of the Collateral or guaranties (except to the extent expressly provided herein or in any of the Loan Documents) supporting the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is participating, (D) postpone the payment of, or reduce the amount of, the interest or fees payable to such Participant through such Lender (other than a waiver of default interest), or (E) change the amount or due dates of scheduled principal repayments or prepayments or premiums, and (v) all amounts payable by Loan Parties hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation, except that, if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement. The rights of any Participant only shall be derivative through the Originating Lender with whom such Participant participates and no Participant shall have any rights under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any direct rights as to the other Lenders, the Agent, Parent, the Collections of Parent or its Subsidiaries, the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Obligations. No Participant shall have the right to participate directly in the making of decisions by the Lenders among themselves.

(f) In connection with any such assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation or any grant of a security interest in, or pledge of, its rights under and interest in this Agreement, a Lender may, subject to the provisions of Section 11.07, disclose all documents and information which it now or hereafter may have relating to Parent and any of its Subsidiaries and their respective businesses.

(g) Any other provision in this Agreement notwithstanding, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in, or pledge, all or any portion of its rights under and interest in this Agreement in favor of any FRB in accordance with Regulation A of the FRB or U.S. Treasury Regulation 31 CFR §203.24, and such FRB may enforce such pledge or security interest in any manner permitted under applicable law.

(h) The Agent (as a non-fiduciary agent on behalf of Borrowers) shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, a register (the “Register”) on which it enters the name and address of each Lender as the registered owner of the Revolving Loan (and the principal amount thereof and stated interest thereon) held by such Lender (each, a “Registered Loan”). Other than in connection with an assignment by a Lender of all or any portion of its portion of the Revolving Loan to an Affiliate of such Lender or a Related Fund of such Lender (i) a Registered Loan may be assigned or sold in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register, and (ii) any assignment or sale of all or part of such Registered Loan may be effected only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register. Prior to the registration of assignment or sale of any Registered Loan, Borrowers, Agent and each Lender shall treat the Person in whose name such Registered Loan is registered as the owner thereof for the purpose of receiving all payments thereon and for all other purposes, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. Entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error. In the case of any assignment by a Lender of all or any portion of its Revolving Loan to an Affiliate of such Lender or a Related Fund of such Lender, and which assignment is not recorded in the Register, the assigning Lender, on behalf of Borrowers, shall maintain a register comparable to the Register.

124

(i) In the event that a Lender sells participations in the Registered Loan, such Lender, as a non-fiduciary agent on behalf of Borrowers, shall maintain (or cause to be maintained) a register on which it enters the names and addresses of all participants in the Registered Loans held by it (and the principal amount (and stated interest thereon) of the portion of such Registered Loans that is subject to such participations) (the “Participant Register”). A Registered Loan may be participated in whole or in part only by registration of such participation on the Participant Register. Any participation of such Registered Loan may be effected only by the registration of such participation on the Participant Register. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the participating Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(j) The Agent shall make a copy of the Register (and each Lender shall make a copy of its Register and Participant Register to the extent it has one) available for review by Administrative Borrower from time to time as Administrative Borrower may reasonably request.

11.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to any Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of Administrative Borrower, or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section, or (y) becomes available to the Agent, any Lender, the Issuing Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Borrowers.

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from Parent or any of its Subsidiaries relating to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Each Loan Party acknowledges that the Agent will make available to the Lenders and the Issuing Lender materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of any Loan Party hereunder (collectively, “Loan Party Materials”) by posting the Loan Party Materials on IntraLinks or another similar electronic system.

11.08 Set off. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, the Issuing Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations

125

(in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the Issuing Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of such Borrower or such other Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or the Issuing Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or the Issuing Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of such Borrower or such other Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or the Issuing Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender, the Issuing Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, the Issuing Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and the Issuing Lender agrees to notify Borrowers and the Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NO LENDER SHALL EXERCISE, OR ATTEMPT TO EXERCISE, ANY RIGHT OF SET-OFF, BANKER’S LIEN, OR THE LIKE, AGAINST ANY DEPOSIT ACCOUNT OR PROPERTY OF PARENT OR ANY SUBSIDIARY OF PARENT HELD OR MAINTAINED BY THE LENDER WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE AGENT.

11.09 Patriot Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the Patriot Act hereby notifies each Loan Party that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Agent, as applicable, to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the Patriot Act. In addition, if Agent is required by law or regulation or internal policies to do so, it shall have the right to periodically conduct (a) Patriot Act searches, OFAC/PEP searches, and customary individual background checks for the Loan Parties, and (b) OFAC/PEP searches and customary individual background checks for the Loan Parties’ senior management and key principals, and each Loan Party agrees to cooperate in respect of the conduct of such searches and further agrees that the reasonable costs and charges for such searches shall constitute Lender Group Expenses hereunder and be for the account of Borrowers.

11.10 Guaranty.

(a) Guaranty. Each of the Guarantors unconditionally and irrevocably, jointly and severally, guarantees to the Agent, the Issuing Lender, any Bank Product Provider and the Lenders, and their respective successors, endorsers, transferees and assigns (the “Guaranteed Persons”), the full and prompt payment when due (whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise) and performance of all indebtedness, liabilities and other obligations (including the Obligations) of any Borrower to any Guaranteed Person, whether arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise, including all unpaid principal of the Loans, all L/C Obligations, all interest accrued thereon, all fees due under this Agreement and all other amounts payable by any Borrower to any Guaranteed Person thereunder or in connection therewith. The terms “indebtedness,” “liabilities” and “obligations” are used herein in their most comprehensive sense and include any and all advances, debts, obligations and liabilities, now existing or hereafter arising, whether voluntary or involuntary and whether due or not due, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, determined or undetermined, and whether recovery upon such indebtedness, liabilities and obligations may be or hereafter become unenforceable or shall be an allowed or disallowed claim under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable law. The foregoing indebtedness, liabilities and other obligations (including the Obligations) of Borrowers shall hereinafter be collectively referred to as the “Guaranteed Obligations”; provided, that anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing notwithstanding, the

126

Guaranteed Obligations of any Guarantor shall exclude its Excluded Swap Obligations. The Guaranteed Obligations include interest which, but for an Insolvency Proceeding, would have accrued on such Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against any Borrower for such interest in any such Insolvency Proceeding.

(b) Joint and Several Liability; Separate Obligation. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees (i) that it is directly, jointly and severally with any other guarantor of the Obligations, liable to the Guaranteed Persons, (ii) that the Guaranteed Obligations are separate and distinct from any indebtedness, obligations or liabilities arising under or in connection with any other agreement, instrument or guaranty, including under any provision of this Agreement other than this Section 11.10, executed at any time by such Guarantor in favor of any Guaranteed Person, and (ii) such Guarantor shall pay and perform all of the Guaranteed Obligations as required under this Section 11.10, and each Guaranteed Person may enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder, without regard to any other agreement, instrument or guaranty, including any provision of this Agreement other than this Section 11.10, at any time executed by such Guarantor in favor of any Guaranteed Person, regardless of whether or not any such other agreement, instrument or guaranty, or any provision thereof or hereof, shall for any reason become unenforceable or any of the indebtedness, obligations or liabilities thereunder or hereunder shall have been discharged, whether by performance, avoidance or otherwise. Each Guarantor acknowledges that in providing benefits to Borrowers and such Guarantor, the Guaranteed Persons are relying upon the enforceability of this Section 11.10 and the Guaranteed Obligations as separate and distinct indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of such Guarantor, and each Guarantor agrees that each Guaranteed Person would be denied the full benefit of their bargain if at any time this Section 11.10 or the Guaranteed Obligations were treated any differently. The fact that the Guaranty of each Guarantor is set forth in this Agreement rather than in a separate guaranty document is for the convenience of Borrowers and the Guarantors and shall in no way impair or adversely affect the rights or benefits of any Guaranteed Person under this Section 11.10. Each Guarantor agrees to execute and deliver a separate agreement, immediately upon request at any time of any Guaranteed Person, evidencing such Guarantor’s obligations under this Section 11.10. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, a separate action or actions may be brought against each Guarantor, whether or not any Borrower or any other Guarantor or Person is joined therein or a separate action or actions are brought against any Borrower or any other Guarantor or Person.

(c) Limitation of Guaranty. To the extent that any court of competent jurisdiction shall impose by final judgment under applicable law (including the California Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act and §§544 and 548 of the Bankruptcy Code) any limitations on the amount of any Guarantor’s liability with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations which any Guaranteed Person can enforce under this Section 11.10, each Guaranteed Person by its acceptance hereof accepts such limitation on the amount of such Guarantor’s liability hereunder to the extent needed to make this Section 11.10 fully enforceable and nonavoidable.

(d) Liability of Guarantor. The liability of each Guarantor under this Section 11.10 shall be irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional, and shall not be affected by any circumstance which might constitute a discharge of a surety or guarantor other than the indefeasible payment and performance in full of all Guaranteed Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, each Guarantor agrees as follows:

(i) such Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall be the immediate, direct, and primary obligation of such Guarantor and shall not be contingent upon any Guaranteed Person’s exercise or enforcement of any remedy it may have against any Borrower or any other Person, or against any collateral or other security for any Guaranteed Obligations;

127

(ii) this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and not merely of collectibility;

(iii) such Guarantor’s payment of a portion, but not all, of the Guaranteed Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge such Guarantor’s liability for any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations remaining unsatisfied; and

(iv) such Guarantor’s liability with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be impaired or affected by, nor shall such Guarantor be exonerated or discharged by, any of the following events:

(1) any Insolvency Proceeding;

(2) any limitation, discharge, or cessation of the liability of any Borrower or any other guarantor or Person for any Guaranteed Obligations due to any statute, regulation or rule of law, or any invalidity or unenforceability in whole or in part of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or the Loan Documents;

(3) any merger, acquisition, consolidation or change in structure of any Borrower or any other Guarantor or Person, or any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of any or all of the assets or shares of any Borrower or any other Guarantor or other Person;

(4) any assignment or other transfer, in whole or in part, of any Guaranteed Person’s interests in and rights under this Guaranty or the other Loan Documents;

(5) any claim, defense, counterclaim or set-off, other than that of prior performance, that any Borrower, such Guarantor, any other guarantor or other Person may have or assert, including any defense of incapacity or lack of corporate or other authority to execute any of the Loan Documents;

(6) any Guaranteed Person’s amendment, modification, renewal, extension, cancellation or surrender of any Loan Document or any Guaranteed Obligations;

(7) any Guaranteed Person’s exercise or nonexercise of any power, right or remedy with respect to any Guaranteed Obligations or any collateral;

(9) any other guaranty, whether by any Guarantor or any other Person, of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other indebtedness, obligations or liabilities of any Guaranteed Person.

(e) Consents of Guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally consents and agrees that, without notice to or further assent from such Guarantor:

(i) the principal amount of the Guaranteed Obligations may be increased or decreased and additional indebtedness or obligations of Borrowers under the Loan Documents may be incurred and the time, manner, place or terms of any payment under any Loan Document be extended or changed, by one or more amendments, modifications, renewals or extensions of any Loan Document or otherwise;

128

(ii) the time for any Borrower’s (or any other Person’s) performance of or compliance with any term, covenant or agreement on its part to be performed or observed under any Loan Document may be extended, or such performance or compliance waived, or failure in or departure from such performance or compliance consented to, all in such manner and upon such terms as any Guaranteed Person (or the Majority Lenders, as the case may be) may deem proper;

(iii) each Guaranteed Person may request and accept other guarantees and may take and hold other security as collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations, and may, from time to time, in whole or in part, exchange, sell, surrender, release, subordinate, modify, waive, rescind, compromise or extend such other guaranties or security and may permit or consent to any such action or the result of any such action, and may apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof;

(iv) each Guaranteed Person may exercise, or waive or otherwise refrain from exercising, any other right, remedy, power or privilege even if the exercise thereof affects or eliminates any right of subrogation or any other right of such Guarantor against any Borrower.

(f) Guarantor’s Waivers. Each Guarantor waives and agrees not to assert:

(i) any right to require the Agent, the Issuing Lender, any Bank Product Provider or any Lender to marshal assets in favor of Borrowers, the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person, to proceed against any Borrower, any other guarantor or any other Person, to proceed against or exhaust any of the Collateral, to give notice of the terms, time and place of any public or private sale of personal property security constituting the Collateral or other collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations or comply with any other provisions of Chapter 6 of Division 9 of the UCC (or any equivalent provision of any other applicable law) or to pursue any other right, remedy, power or privilege of the Agent, the Issuing Lender, any Bank Product Provider or any Lender whatsoever;

(ii) the defense of the statute of limitations in any action hereunder or for the collection or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(iii) any defense arising by reason of any lack of corporate or other authority or any other defense of any Borrower, such Guarantor or any other Person;

(iv) any defense based upon any Guaranteed Person’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(v) any rights to set-offs and counterclaims;

(vi) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable law limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms of this Section 11.10;

(vii) any defense based upon an election of remedies (including, if available, an election to proceed by nonjudicial foreclosure) which destroys or impairs the subrogation rights of such Guarantor or the right of such Guarantor to proceed against any Borrower or any other obligor of the Guaranteed Obligations for reimbursement;

(viii) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable law limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms of this

129

Section 11.10, including any and all benefits that otherwise might be available to such Guarantor under California Civil Code §§1432, 2809, 2787 to 2855, inclusive, 2899 and 3433 and California Code of Civil Procedure §§580a, 580b, 580d and 726 or Texas Property Code §§51.003 – 51.005. Accordingly, each Guarantor waives all rights and defenses that such Guarantor may have because Borrowers’ debt is secured by real property. This means, among other things: (A) the Agent, the Issuing Lender, the Bank Product Providers and the Lenders may collect from such Guarantor without first foreclosing on any real or personal property Collateral pledged by any Borrower or such Guarantor; and (B) if the Agent forecloses on any real property Collateral pledged by any Borrower or such Guarantor: (1) the amount of the debt may be reduced only by the price for which that Collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the Collateral is worth more than the sale price, and (2) the Agent, the Issuing Lender, the Bank Product Providers and the Lenders may collect from such Guarantor even if the Agent, by foreclosing on the real property Collateral, has destroyed any right such Guarantor may have to collect from Borrowers. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses such Guarantor may have because Borrowers’ debt is secured by real property. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights of defenses based upon section 580a, 580b, 580d or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure or sections 51.003 – 51.005 of the Texas Property Code; and

(ix) any and all notice of the acceptance of this Guaranty, and any and all notice of the creation, renewal, modification, extension or accrual of the Guaranteed Obligations, or the reliance by any Guaranteed Person upon this Guaranty, or the exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder. The Guaranteed Obligations shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted, incurred and permitted to exist in reliance upon this Guaranty. Each Guarantor waives promptness, diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment, notice of default, dishonor or nonpayment and all other notices to or upon any Borrower, such Guarantor or any other Person with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations.

(g) Financial Condition of Borrowers. No Guarantor shall have any right to require any Guaranteed Person to obtain or disclose any information with respect to: the financial condition or character of any Borrower or the ability of any Borrower to pay and perform the Guaranteed Obligations; the Guaranteed Obligations; any collateral or other security for any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; the existence or nonexistence of any other guarantees of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; any action or inaction on the part of any Guaranteed Person or any other Person; or any other matter, fact or occurrence whatsoever. Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that it has undertaken its own independent investigation of the financial condition of Borrowers and the other Loan Parties and all other matters pertaining to this Guaranty and further acknowledges that it is not relying in any manner upon any representation or statement of any Guaranteed Person with respect thereto.

(h) Subrogation. Until the Guaranteed Obligations shall be satisfied in full and the Commitments shall be terminated, each Guarantor shall not have, and shall not directly or indirectly exercise (i) any rights that it may acquire by way of subrogation under this Section 11.10, by any payment hereunder or otherwise, (ii) any rights of contribution, indemnification, reimbursement or similar suretyship claims arising out of this Section 11.10, or (iii) any other right which it might otherwise have or acquire (in any way whatsoever) which could entitle it at any time to share or participate in any right, remedy or security of any Guaranteed Person as against any Borrower or any other guarantors, whether in connection with this Section 11.10, any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of the foregoing rights at any time when all the Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of each Guaranteed Person and shall forthwith be paid to the Agent to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents.

130

(i) Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and agreement of subordination and shall continue in effect and be binding upon each Guarantor until termination of the Commitments and payment and performance in full of all Guaranteed Obligations, including Guaranteed Obligations which may exist continuously or which may arise from time to time under successive transactions, and each Guarantor expressly acknowledges that this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding that there may be periods in which no Guaranteed Obligations exist.

(j) Reinstatement. This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated and revived, as the case may be, if, for any reason, any payment of the Guaranteed Obligations by or on behalf of any Borrower (or receipt of any proceeds of collateral) shall be rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, voided or otherwise required to be repaid to any Borrower, any Borrower’s estate, trustee, receiver or any other Person (including under the Bankruptcy Code or other state or federal law), or must otherwise be restored by any Guaranteed Person, whether as a result of Insolvency Proceedings or otherwise. All losses, damages, costs and expenses that any Guaranteed Person may suffer or incur as a result of any voided or otherwise set aside payments shall be specifically covered by the indemnity in favor of the Lenders and the Agent contained in Section 11.04.

(k) Substantial Benefits. The funds that have been borrowed from the Lenders by Borrowers have been and are to be contemporaneously used for the direct or indirect benefit of Borrowers and each Guarantor. It is the position, intent and expectation of the parties that Borrowers and each Guarantor have derived and will derive significant and substantial direct or indirect benefits from the accommodations that have been made by the Lenders under the Loan Documents.

(l) Knowing and Explicit Waivers. EACH GUARANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT EITHER HAS OBTAINED THE ADVICE OF LEGAL COUNSEL OR HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO OBTAIN SUCH ADVICE IN CONNECTION WITH THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 11.10. EACH GUARANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT EACH OF THE WAIVERS AND CONSENTS SET FORTH HEREIN ARE MADE WITH FULL KNOWLEDGE OF THEIR SIGNIFICANCE AND CONSEQUENCES, AND THAT ALL SUCH WAIVERS AND CONSENTS HEREIN ARE EXPLICIT AND KNOWING AND WHICH EACH GUARANTOR EXPECTS TO BE FULLY ENFORCEABLE.

(m) Release of Subsidiary Guarantors. Administrative Borrower may at any time deliver to the Agent a certificate from a Responsible Officer of Administrative Borrower certifying as of the date of the certificate that, after the consummation of the transaction or series of transactions described in such certificate (which certification shall also state that such transactions, individually or in the aggregate, will be in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including to the extent applicable Section 8.02 and Section 8.03, and that no Event of Default existed, exists or will exist, as the case may be, immediately before, as a result of or immediately after giving effect to such transaction or transactions and termination), the Guarantor identified in such certification will no longer be a Subsidiary of Parent. Effective upon the consummation of the transaction or series of transactions described in such certificate effected in compliance with this Agreement, the Subsidiary identified in such certification shall thereupon automatically cease to be a Guarantor hereunder and shall cease to be a party hereto and shall thereupon automatically be released from its obligations under this Section 11.10 and under the Security Agreement, and all Liens in favor of the Agent and the Lenders under the Collateral Documents in respect of the property of such Subsidiary shall thereupon terminate. Administrative Borrower shall promptly notify the Agent of the consummation of any such transaction or series of transactions. The Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, shall, at Borrowers’ expense, execute and deliver such instruments as Administrative Borrower may reasonably request to evidence such release and Lien termination.

131

(n) Intercompany Subordination.

(i) As to each Loan Party, all payments on account of the Intercompany Debt shall be subject, subordinate, and junior, in right of payment and exercise of remedies, to the extent and in the manner set forth herein, to the prior payment, in full, in cash and cash equivalents of the Obligations.

(ii) As to each Loan Party, in the event of any payment or distribution of assets of any other Loan Party of any kind or character, whether in cash, property, or securities, upon the dissolution, winding up, or total or partial liquidation or reorganization, readjustment, arrangement, or similar proceeding relating to such other Loan Party or its property, whether voluntary or involuntary, or in an Insolvency Proceeding or upon any other marshaling or composition of the assets and liabilities of such other Loan Party, or otherwise: (A) all amounts owing on account of the Obligations shall first be paid, in full, in cash, or payment provided for in cash and cash equivalents, before any Intercompany Debt Payment is made; and (B) to the extent permitted by applicable law, any Intercompany Debt Payment to which such Loan Party would be entitled except for the provisions hereof, shall be paid or delivered by the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, assignee for the benefit of creditors, or other liquidating agent making such payment or distribution directly to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders for application to the payment of the Obligations in accordance with clause (A), after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution or provision therefor to the Lenders, or the Agent for the benefit thereof, in respect of such Obligations.

(iii) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom, each Loan Party may make, and each other Loan Party shall be entitled to accept and receive, payments on account of the Intercompany Debt in the ordinary course of business. If the Obligations have been declared or otherwise become due upon or following the occurrence of any Event of Default, or if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Agent delivers written notice to the Loan Parties to cease all payments on account of Intercompany Debt, then until such Event of Default is cured or waived, each Loan Party shall not make, and each other Loan Party shall not accept or receive, any Intercompany Debt Payment, and any payment received by any Loan Party on account of Intercompany Debt in contravention of this clause (iii) shall be held in trust for, and paid over to, the Agent.

(o) Borrowers’ Guaranty of Obligations Under Guarantor L/Cs. To the extent any of Borrowers’ Guarantor L/C Obligations set forth in Article III are treated, construed or classified as a guaranty of the obligations of the applicable Guarantor under the applicable Guarantor L/C, each preceding provision in this Article XI shall apply to Borrowers with respect to such guaranty of such obligations and to Borrowers’ Guarantor L/C Obligations as if such provisions were set forth in this subsection (o) in their entirety and were binding on Borrowers mutatis mutandis.

(p) Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Grantor to guaranty and otherwise honor all Obligations in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 11.10(p) for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 11.10(p), or otherwise under the Loan Documents, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 11.10(p) constitute, and this Section 11.10(p) shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Grantor for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

132

11.11 Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.03, or if Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.01, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or if any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives Borrowers the right to replace a Lender as a party hereto (including pursuant to Section 11.01(b)), then Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided, that:

(a) Borrowers shall have paid to the Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 11.06;

(b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 4.04) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts);

(c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 4.03 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 4.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

(d) such assignment does not conflict with any Requirement of Law.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

11.12 Notification of Addresses, Lending Offices, Etc. Each Lender shall notify the Agent in writing of any changes in the address to which notices to such Lender should be directed, of addresses of any Lending Office, of payment instructions in respect of all payments to be made to it hereunder and of such other administrative information as the Agent shall reasonably request.

11.13 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, all Bank Product Agreements and Hedge Agreement, if any, are independent agreements governed by the written provisions of such Bank Product Agreements and Hedge Agreements, which will remain in full force and effect, unaffected by any repayment, prepayments, acceleration, reduction, increase, or change in the terms of any credit extended hereunder, except as otherwise expressly provided in such Bank Product Agreements and Hedge Agreements. Except as provided in Section 5.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Agent and when the Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or by email in .pdf format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

133

11.14 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of the Loan Documents shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under all applicable laws and regulations. If, however, any provision of any of the Loan Documents shall be prohibited by or invalid under any such law or regulation in any jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be deemed modified to conform to the minimum requirements of such law or regulation, or, if for any reason it is not deemed so modified, it shall be ineffective and invalid only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without affecting the remaining provisions of such Loan Document, or the validity or effectiveness of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

11.15 No Third Parties Benefited. This Agreement is made and entered into for the sole protection and legal benefit of Borrowers and the other Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Agent and the Agent Related Persons, the Indemnitees and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and no other Person shall be a direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT AGENT MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AGAINST ANY LOAN PARTY OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.

(g) NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 11.16 SHALL OVERRIDE ANY CONTRARY PROVISION CONTAINED IN ANY SPECIFIED HEDGE AGREEMENT.

11.17 Lender Group Expenses. Borrowers agree to pay any and all Lender Group Expenses promptly (but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days) after demand therefor by the Agent and agrees that its obligations contained in this Section 11.17 shall survive payment or satisfaction in full of all other Obligations.

11.18 Bank Product Providers. Each Bank Product Provider shall be deemed a third party beneficiary hereof and of the provisions of the other Loan Documents for purposes of any reference in a Loan Document to the parties for whom the Agent is acting. The Agent hereby agrees to act as agent for such Bank Product Providers and, by virtue of entering into a Bank Product Agreement or Hedge Agreement, the applicable Bank Product Provider shall be automatically deemed to have appointed the Agent as its agent and to have accepted the benefits of the Loan Documents; it being understood and agreed that the rights and benefits of each Bank Product Provider under the Loan Documents consist exclusively of such Bank Product Provider’s being a beneficiary of the Liens and security interests (and, if applicable, guarantees) granted to the Agent and the right to share in payments and collections out of the Collateral as more fully set forth herein. In addition, each Bank Product Provider, by virtue of entering into a Bank Product Agreement or Hedge Agreement, shall be automatically deemed to have agreed that the Agent shall have the right, but shall have no obligation, to establish, maintain, relax, or release reserves in respect of the Bank Product Obligations and that if reserves are established there is no obligation on the part of the Agent to determine or insure whether the amount of any such reserve is appropriate or not. In connection with any such distribution of payments or proceeds of Collateral, the Agent shall be entitled to assume no amounts are due or owing to any Bank Product Provider unless such Bank Product Provider has provided a written certification (setting forth a reasonably detailed calculation) to the Agent as to the amounts that are due and owing to it and such written certification is received by the Agent a reasonable period of time prior to the making of such distribution. The Agent shall have no obligation to calculate the amount due and payable with respect to any Bank Products, but may rely upon the written certification of the amount due and payable from the relevant Bank Product Provider. In the absence of an updated certification, the Agent shall be entitled to assume that the amount due and payable to the relevant Bank Product Provider is the amount last certified to the Agent by such Bank Product Provider as being due and payable (less any distributions made to such Bank Product Provider on account thereof). Borrowers may obtain Bank Products from any Bank Product Provider, although Borrowers are not required to do so. Borrowers acknowledge and agree that no Bank Product Provider has committed to provide any Bank Products and that the providing of Bank Products by any Bank Product Provider is in the sole and absolute discretion of such Bank Product Provider.

137

11.19 No Fiduciary Duty. Agent, Issuing Lender, each Lender and their respective Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Loan Parties, their stockholders and/or their Affiliates. Each Loan Party agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and such Loan Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates, on the other. The Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that (a) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other, and (b) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (i) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Loan Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Loan Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Loan Party except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, and (ii) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of any Loan Party, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person. Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto.

11.22 Parent Assumption Agreement.

(a) The parties hereto (including BMC Stock) hereby agree that immediately upon the consummation of the Merger and by operation of law, without further act or deed, BMC Stock becomes obligated for all Obligations and becomes “Parent” under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and immediately upon BMC Stock’s execution and delivery of the signature page to the attached Post-Acquisition Certification to Agent on the Effective Date, BMC Stock thereby reaffirms all such Obligations.

139

(b) Without limiting the foregoing clause (a), the parties hereto (including BMC Stock) hereby agree that BMC Stock shall execute and deliver the attached Post-Acquisition Certification to Agent on the Effective Date promptly upon the consummation of the Merger and, upon such execution and delivery, BMC Stock hereby (i) assumes all Obligations and all rights of BMHC as “Parent” under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) becomes a party to this Agreement as the “Parent” with the same force and effect as if originally named herein as Parent and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, hereby expressly, on a joint and several basis, assumes all obligations and liabilities (including the Obligations) of BMHC hereunder, (iii) makes each of the representations and warranties, agrees to each of the covenants and becomes bound by all of the other terms and provisions of this Agreement, which are incorporated herein by reference as fully as though set forth herein verbatim, and (iv) is liable, on a joint and several basis, under this Agreement for payment of all Obligations (such assumption described above in clause (a) and clauses (i) through (iv) of this clause (b), the “Parent Assumption”). Each reference to “Parent”, in this Agreement and in any other Loan Document shall be deemed to include BMC Stock. Notwithstanding anything in the Loan Documents to the contrary, the Parent Assumption is consented and agreed to in all respects by all parties hereto and shall be immediately effective upon the consummation of the Merger (the “Assumption Effective Date”), and shall be ratified upon BMC Stock’s execution and delivery of the signature page to the attached Post-Acquisition Certification to Agent on the Effective Date.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, for purposes of the representations and warranties and the other provisions set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the conditions set forth in Article V and any reference to “Effective Date” in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the making of the Loans and the issuance of Letters of Credit (if any) on the Effective Date shall be assumed to occur concurrently with the consummation of the Merger.

11.23 Parent as Agent for Borrowers. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints BMHC (and, upon consummation of the Merger, BMC Stock as the successor entity pursuant to the Parent Assumption) as the borrowing agent and attorney-in-fact for all Borrowers (“Administrative Borrower”) which appointment shall remain in full force and effect unless and until the Agent shall have received prior written notice signed by each Borrower that such appointment has been revoked and that another Borrower has been appointed Administrative Borrower. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Administrative Borrower (a) to provide the Agent with all notices with respect to Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit obtained for the benefit of any Borrower and all other notices and instructions under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (and any notice or instruction provided by Administrative Borrower shall be deemed to be given by Borrowers hereunder and shall bind each Borrower), (b) to receive notices and instructions from members of the Lender Group (and any notice or instruction provided by any member of the Lender Group to Administrative Borrower in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been given to each Borrower), and (c) to take such action as Administrative Borrower deems appropriate on its behalf to obtain Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit 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 in a combined fashion, as more fully set forth herein, is done solely as an accommodation to Borrowers in order to utilize the collective borrowing powers of Borrowers in the most efficient and economical manner and at their request, and that Lender Group shall not incur liability to any Borrower as a result hereof. Each Borrower 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 is dependent on the continued successful performance of the integrated group. To induce the Lender Group to do so, and in consideration thereof, each Borrower hereby jointly and severally agrees to indemnify each member of the Lender Group and hold each member of the Lender Group harmless against any and all liability, expense, loss or claim of damage or injury, made against the Lender Group by any Borrower or by any third party whosoever, arising from or incurred by reason of (i) the handling of the Loan Account and

140

Collateral of Borrowers as herein provided, or (ii) the Lender Group’s relying on any instructions of Administrative Borrower, except that Borrowers will have no liability to the relevant Agent Related Persons or Lender Related Persons under this Section 11.23 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 Persons or Lender Related Persons, as the case may be.

Specified Bank Products Provider and Agent each agree that the Agency Provisions which govern the relationship, and certain representations, acknowledgements, appointments, rights, restrictions, and agreements, between the Agent, on the one hand, and the Lenders or the Lender Group, on the other hand, shall, from and after the date of this agreement also apply to and govern, mutatis mutandis, the relationship between the Agent, on the one hand, and the Specified Bank Product Provider with respect to the Bank Products provided pursuant to the Specified Bank Product Agreement[s], on the other hand.

2. Acknowledgement of Certain Provisions of Credit Agreement. The Specified Bank Products Provider hereby acknowledges that it has reviewed the provisions of Section 9.03, Article 10, Section 11.01, and Section 11.18 of the Credit Agreement, including, as applicable, the defined terms used therein, and agrees to be bound by the provisions thereof. Without limiting the generality of any of

On a monthly basis (not later than the 10th Business Day of each calendar month) or as more frequently as Agent shall request, the Specified Bank Products Provider agrees to provide Agent with a written report, in form and substance satisfactory to Agent, detailing Specified Bank Products Provider’s reasonable determination of the liabilities and obligations (and xxxx- to-market exposure (if any)) of Parent, Borrowers, and the other Loan Parties in respect of the Bank Products provided by Specified Bank Products Provider pursuant to the Specified Bank Products Agreement[s].

4. Bank Product Reserve Conditions.

If Agent chooses to implement a reserve, Specified Bank Products Provider acknowledges and agrees that Agent shall be entitled to rely on the information in the reports described above to establish the Bank Product Reserve Amount.

5. Bank Product Obligations. From and after the delivery to Agent of this agreement duly executed by Specified Bank Product Provider and the acknowledgement of this agreement by Agent and Administrative Borrower, the obligations and liabilities of Parent, Borrowers, and the other Loan Parties to Specified Bank Product Provider in respect of Bank Products evidenced by the Specified Bank Product Agreement[s] shall constitute Bank Product Obligations (and which, in turn, shall constitute Obligations), and Specified Bank Product Provider shall constitute a Bank Product Provider until such time as Specified Bank Products Provider or its Affiliate is no longer a Lender. Specified Bank Products Provider acknowledges that other Bank Products (which may or may not be Specified Bank Products) may exist at any time.

6. Notices.
