For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to any Sale, Purchase or other transaction, or the amount of income or earnings relating thereto and the amount of Consolidated Interest Expense associated with any Indebtedness incurred, repaid, repurchased, redeemed, defeased or otherwise acquired, retired or discharged in connection therewith, the pro forma calculations in respect thereof shall be as determined in good faith by the Chief Financial Officer or a Responsible Officer of the ~~Parent~~ Borrower Representative, which determination shall be conclusive. If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest expense on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of determination had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Interest Rate Agreement applicable to such Indebtedness). If any Indebtedness bears, at the option of the Parent Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary, a rate of interest based on a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate or other fixed or floating rate, and such Indebtedness is being given pro forma effect, the interest expense on such Indebtedness shall be calculated by applying such optional rate as the Parent Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary may designate. If any Indebtedness that is being given pro forma effect was incurred under a revolving credit facility, the interest expense on such Indebtedness shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period. Interest on a Financing Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate determined in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Parent Borrower (which determination shall be conclusive) to be the rate of interest implicit in such Financing Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP.

thereafter be deemed to be the applicable LCT Test Date for purposes of such ratios, baskets or amounts and (b) except as contemplated in the foregoing clause (a), compliance with such ratios, baskets or amounts (and any related requirements and conditions) shall not be determined or tested at any time after the applicable LCT Test Date for such Limited Condition Transaction and any actions or transactions related thereto (including any Incurrence or Discharge of Indebtedness and Liens and the use of proceeds thereof). For purposes of determining compliance with any ratio, basket or amount on the applicable LCT Test Date, Consolidated Interest Expense for purposes of the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio will be calculated using an assumed interest rate based on the indicative interest margin contained in any financing commitment documentation with respect to such Indebtedness or, if no such indicative interest margin exists, as determined by the Parent Borrower in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower Representative has made an LCT Election and any of the ratios, baskets or amounts for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio, basket or amount, including due to fluctuations in exchange rates or in Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated Tangible Assets of the Parent Borrower or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Transaction or any applicable currency exchange rate, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such ratios, baskets or amounts will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations.

(m) ~~(l)~~ Any reference herein or in any other Loan Document to (i) a transfer, assignment, sale, disposition or transfer, or similar term, shall be deemed to apply to a division of or by a limited liability company or a limited partnership, or an allocation of assets to a series of a limited liability company or a limited partnership (collectively, a “Division”), as if it were a transfer, assignment, sale or transfer, or similar term, as applicable, to a separate Person, and (ii) a merger, consolidation, amalgamation or consolidation, or similar term, shall be deemed to apply to the division of or by a limited liability company or a limited partnership, or an allocation of assets to a series of a limited liability company or a limited partnership, or the unwinding of such a division or allocation, as if it were a merger, consolidation, amalgamation or consolidation or similar term, as applicable, with a separate Person, and such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Capital Stock at such time.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Subsection 2.1(a) or elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to establish Availability Reserves in such amounts, and with respect to such matters, as the Administrative Agent in its Permitted Discretion shall deem necessary or appropriate, against the Borrowing Base including reserves with respect to (i) sums that the Borrowers are or will be required to pay (such as taxes (including payroll and sales taxes), assessments, insurance premiums, or, in the case of leased assets, rents or other amounts payable under such leases) and have not yet paid and (ii) amounts owing by the Borrowers or, without duplication, their respective Restricted Subsidiaries to any Person to the extent secured by a Lien on, or trust over, any of the ABL Priority Collateral, which Lien or trust, in the Permitted Discretion of the Administrative Agent is capable of ranking senior in priority to or pari passu with one or more of the Liens in the ABL Priority Collateral granted in the Security Documents (such as Liens or trusts in favor of landlords, warehousemen, carriers, mechanics, materialmen, laborers, or suppliers, or Liens or trusts for ad valorem, excise, sales, or other taxes where given priority under applicable law and Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Subsection 8.13(y)) in and to such item of the ABL Priority Collateral (including any such Liens in respect of Management Guarantees); provided that (x) with respect to any Availability Reserve (other than any Designated Hedging Reserves or Designated Cash Management Reserves), the Administrative Agent shall have provided the applicable Borrower reasonable advance notice of any such establishment and (y) with respect to any Designated Hedging Reserves or Designated Cash Management Reserves, (i) the Administrative Agent may establish such Designated Hedging Reserves or Designated Cash Management Reserves immediately upon receiving notice in writing from the Borrower Representative pursuant to Subsection 11.22 that a Designated Hedging Reserve or Designated Cash Management Reserve, as applicable, may be established and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall increase, reduce or eliminate the amount of any existing Designated Hedging Reserve or existing Designated Cash Management Reserve immediately upon receiving written notice of any adjustment to the amount of such existing Designated Hedging Reserve or existing Designated Cash Management Reserve from the Borrower Representative pursuant to the last sentence of Subsection 11.22 (provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to establish or increase any Designated Hedging Reserve or Designated Cash Management Reserve if at the time of, and after give effect to, such establishment or increase, Excess Availability would be less than zero); and provided, further, that the Administrative Agent may only establish an Availability Reserve after the Closing Date based on an event, condition or other circumstance arising after the Closing Date or based on facts not known to the Administrative Agent as of the Closing Date.

In the event that the event, condition or other matter giving rise to the establishment of any Availability Reserve shall cease to exist (unless there is a reasonable prospect that such event, condition or other matter will occur again within a reasonable period of time thereafter), the Availability Reserve established pursuant to such event, condition or other matter, shall be discontinued. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Availability Reserves shall not duplicate (i) eligibility criteria contained in the definition of “Eligible Accounts”, “Eligible Credit Card Receivables” or “Eligible Inventory” and vice versa, or (ii) reserves or criteria deducted in computing the value of Eligible Inventory (based on cost and quantity) and vice versa.

The Administrative Agent shall not make any Agent Advance to the extent that at such time the amount of such Agent Advance (A) when added to the aggregate outstanding amount of all other Agent Advances made to the Borrowers at such time, would exceed 10.0% of the Borrowing Base at such time (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered) or (B) when added to the Aggregate Lender Exposure as then in effect (immediately prior to the incurrence of such Agent Advance), would exceed the aggregate Commitments at such time. It is understood and agreed that, subject to the requirements set forth above, Agent Advances may be made by the Administrative Agent in its discretion to the extent the Administrative Agent deems such Agent Advances necessary or desirable (x) to preserve and protect the applicable ABL Priority Collateral, or any portion thereof, (y) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans and other obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents or (z) to pay any other amount chargeable to or required to be paid by the Borrowers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including payments of reimbursable expenses and other sums payable under the Loan Documents, and that the Borrowers shall have no right to require that any Agent Advances be made.

101

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

2.2 Procedure for Revolving Credit Borrowing. Each of the Borrowers may borrow under the Commitments on the Closing Date and the Parent Borrower and any Subsidiary Borrower (or any of their permitted successors hereunder) may borrow under the Commitments hereunder on any Business Day after the Closing Date during the Commitment Period, provided that the Borrower Representative shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable (in the case of any notice except notice with respect to the initial Extension of Credit hereunder, which shall be irrevocable after the funding) notice in substantially the form of Exhibit J-1 hereto or in such other form as may be agreed between the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent (each, a “Borrowing Request”) (which Borrowing Request must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to (1) in the case of either Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans to be borrowed on the Closing Date, 12:00 P.M., New York City time (or such later time as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion), one Business Day prior to the Closing Date, and (2) in all other cases, (a) 2:00 P.M., New York City time, at least three Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) prior to the requested Borrowing Date, if all or any part of the requested Revolving Credit Loans are to be initially Eurodollar Loans or (b) 11:00 A.M., New York City time (or such later time as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion), on the requested Borrowing Date, for ABR Loans) specifying (i) the identity of a Borrower, (ii) the amount to be borrowed, (iii) the requested Borrowing Date, (iv) whether the borrowing is to be of Eurodollar Loans, ABR Loans or a combination thereof and (v) if the borrowing is to be entirely or partly of Eurodollar Loans, the respective amounts of each such Type of Loan and the respective lengths of the initial Interest Periods therefor. Each borrowing shall be in an amount equal to (x) in the case of ABR Loans, except any ABR Loan to be used solely to pay a like amount of outstanding Reimbursement Obligations or Swingline Loans, in multiples of $500,000 (or, if the Commitments then available (as calculated in accordance with Subsection 2.1(a)) are less than $500,000, such lesser amount) or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof, and (y) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, $500,000, or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Upon receipt of any such notice from the Borrower Representative the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Revolving Credit Lender thereof. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent specified in Subsection 6.2 to the extent applicable (or in the case of the initial Extension of Credit on the Closing Date, Subsection 6.1),

102

each applicable Revolving Credit Lender will make the amount of its pro rata share of each borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower identified in such notice at the office of the Administrative Agent specified in Subsection 11.2 prior to 12:00 P.M. (or 9:00 A.M., in the case of the initial borrowing hereunder), New York City time, or at such other office of the Administrative Agent or at such other time as to which the Administrative Agent shall notify such ~~Borrower~~Lender reasonably in advance of the Borrowing Date with respect thereto, on the Borrowing Date requested by such Borrower and in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent.

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

2.4 Swingline Commitments. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swingline Lender agrees to make swingline loans (individually, a “Swingline Loan”; collectively, the “Swingline Loans”) to any of the Borrowers from time to time during the Commitment Period in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed $25,000,000; provided that at no time may the sum of the then outstanding Swingline Loans, Revolving Credit Loans and L/C Obligations exceed the lesser of (1) the Commitments then in effect and (2) the Borrowing Base then in effect (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate last delivered). Swingline Loans shall be made in minimum amounts of (x) at all times when a Dominion Event is not in existence, $100,000 and (y) at all other times, there will be no minimum amount. Amounts borrowed by any Borrower under this Subsection 2.4 may be repaid and, through but excluding the Termination Date, reborrowed. All Swingline Loans made to any Borrower shall be made in Dollars as ABR Loans, and shall not be entitled to be converted into Eurodollar Loans. The Borrower Representative (on behalf of itself or any other Borrower as the case may be), shall give the Swingline Lender irrevocable notice (which notice must be received by the Swingline Lender prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the requested Borrowing Date) specifying (1) the identity of a Borrower, (2) the amount of the requested Swingline Loan and (3) that the Borrowing is to be of ABR Loans. The proceeds of the Swingline Loans will be made available by the Swingline Lender to the Borrower identified in such notice at an office of the Swingline Lender by crediting the account of such Borrower at such office with such proceeds in Dollars.

103

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

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

(d) If the Commitments shall expire or terminate at any time while Swingline Loans are outstanding, each Lender shall, at the option of the Swingline Lender, exercised reasonably, either (i) notwithstanding the expiration or termination of the Commitments, make a Loan as an ABR Loan (which Revolving Credit Loan shall be deemed a “Revolving Credit Loan” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents) or (ii) purchase an undivided participating interest in such Swingline Loans,

104

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

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

105

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

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

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

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

106

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

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

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

107

(ii) Any Supplemental Commitments (A) ~~shall~~may not be guaranteed by ~~the~~any Subsidiaries of the Parent Borrower other than the Subsidiary Borrowers or Subsidiary Guarantors and shall rank pari passu in right of (x) priority with respect to the Collateral and (y) payment with respect to the Obligations in respect of the Commitments in effect prior to the Incremental Commitment Effective Date and any existing Incremental ABL Term Loans and (B) shall be on terms and pursuant to the documentation applicable to the Tranche of the existing Commitments that they are increasing; provided that the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate and Applicable Margin relating to the Supplemental Commitments may exceed the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate and Applicable Margin relating to the Tranche of existing Commitments that they are increasing in effect prior to the Incremental Commitment Effective Date so long as the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate and Applicable Margins relating to all Revolving Credit Loans of such Tranche shall be adjusted to be equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate and Applicable Margin payable to the Lenders providing such Supplemental Commitments.

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

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

108

ABL Priority Collateral) shall be applied, first to obligations owing under, or with respect to, the Revolving Credit Facility (other than ~~the~~such FILO Tranche), the Incremental ABL Term Loans (unless otherwise agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent and any Additional ABL Agent) and such Designated Hedging Agreements and Designated Cash Management Agreements and second to the applicable FILO Tranche; (4) no Borrower may prepay Revolving Credit Loans under ~~xxx~~xxx XXXX Tranche or terminate or reduce the commitments in respect thereof at any time that other Loans and/or Reimbursement Obligations (unless cash collateralized or otherwise provided for in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) or Incremental ABL Term Loans (unless otherwise agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent and any Additional ABL Agent) are outstanding; (5) the Required Lenders (calculated as including Lenders under the Incremental Facilities and ~~xxx~~xxx XXXX Tranche) shall, subject to the terms of the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement, control exercise of remedies in respect of the Collateral and (6) no changes affecting the priority status of the Revolving Credit Facility (other than ~~xxx~~x XXXX Tranche) or the Incremental ABL Term Loans (unless otherwise agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent and any Additional ABL Agent) vis-à-vis the FILO Tranche may be made without the consent of each affected Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility (including Lenders under the Incremental Facilities and the FILO tranche), other than such changes which affect only the FILO Tranche, or only the Incremental ABL Term Loans, as the case may be.

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

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

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

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

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

109

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

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

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

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

(e) In connection with the Incremental Facility Increases constituting Supplemental Commitments, the Lenders and the Borrowers agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) the applicable Borrowers shall, in coordination with the Administrative Agent, (x) repay applicable outstanding Revolving Credit Loans under the applicable Tranche of certain Lenders, and obtain applicable Revolving Credit Loans under the applicable Tranche from certain other Lenders (including the Additional Lenders), or (y) take such other actions as reasonably may be required by the Administrative Agent to the extent necessary so that the Lenders effectively participate in each of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans under the applicable Tranche, as applicable, pro rata on the basis of their Commitment Percentages (determined after giving effect to any increase in the Commitments pursuant to this

110

Subsection 2.6), and (ii) the applicable Borrowers shall pay to the Lenders any costs of the type referred to in Subsection 4.12 in connection with any repayment and/or Revolving Credit Loans required pursuant to the preceding clause (i). Without limiting the obligations of the Borrowers provided for in this Subsection 2.6, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree that they will use commercially reasonable efforts to attempt to minimize the costs of the type referred to in Subsection 4.12 which the Borrowers would otherwise incur in connection with the implementation of an increase in the Commitments.

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

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

(c) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Loans and Commitments subject thereto as Other ABL Term Loans, Other Revolving Credit Loans, Other Revolving Credit Commitments and/or Other ABL Term Commitments). The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any Refinancing Amendment to effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative, to effect the provisions of this Subsection 2.7. In addition, if so provided in the relevant Refinancing Amendment and with the consent of each Issuing Lender, participations in Letters of Credit expiring on or after the Termination Date shall be partially or entirely reallocated from Lenders holding Commitments to Lenders holding extended revolving commitments in accordance with the terms of such Refinancing Amendment; provided, however, that such participation interests shall, upon receipt thereof by the relevant Lenders holding Commitments, be deemed to be participation interests in respect of such Commitments and the terms of such participation interests (including the commission applicable thereto) shall be adjusted accordingly.

2.8 Extension of Commitments. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrower Representative to all Revolving Credit Lenders of Commitments with a like maturity date, or all lenders with ABL Term Loans with a like maturity date, in each case on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the applicable Commitments or ABL Term Loans, as applicable) and on the same terms to each such Lender, the Borrowers are hereby permitted to consummate from time to time transactions with individual Lenders that accept the terms contained in such Extension Offers to extend the maturity date of each such Lender’s Commitments or ABL Term Loans, as applicable, and otherwise modify the terms of such Commitments or ABL Term Loans pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer (including by increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of, or changing the amortization or prepayment provisions of, such Commitments (and related outstandings) or ABL Term Loans) (each, an “Extension”, and each group of Commitments or ABL Term Loans, as applicable, as so extended, as well as the original Commitments or ABL Term Loans (not so extended), as applicable, being a “tranche”; any Extended Revolving Commitments shall constitute a separate tranche of Commitments from the tranche of Commitments from which they were converted and any Extended ABL Term Loans shall constitute a separate tranche of ABL Term Loans from the tranche of ABL Term Loans from which they were converted), so long as the following terms are satisfied: (i) except as to interest rates, fees, final maturity, amortization and prepayment provisions (which shall be determined by the Borrower Representative and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), (x) the Commitment of any Revolving Credit Lender that agrees to an extension with respect to such Commitment (an “Extending Revolving Credit Lender”) extended pursuant to an Extension (an “Extended Revolving Commitment”), and the related outstandings, shall be a Commitment (or related outstandings, as the case may be) with the same terms as the original ~~Commitments~~Commitment (and related outstandings) so extended and (y) the ABL Term Loans of any Lender that agrees to an extension with respect to such ABL Term Loans (an “Extending ABL Term Lender” and

112

together with any Extending Revolving Credit Lender, if any, collectively, “Extending Lenders”) pursuant to an Extension (“Extended ABL Term Loans”) shall have the same terms as the original ABL Term Loans so extended; provided that (x) subject to the provisions of Section 3 and Subsection 2.4 to the extent dealing with Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans which mature or expire after a maturity date when there exist Extended Revolving Commitments with a longer maturity date, all such Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans shall be participated in on a pro rata basis by all Lenders with Commitments in accordance with their Commitment Percentage of the Commitments and all borrowings under Commitments and repayments thereunder shall be made on a pro rata basis (except for (A) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Extended Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings) and (B) repayments required upon the maturity date of the non-extending Commitments) and (y) at no time shall there be Commitments hereunder (including Extended Revolving Commitments and any original Commitments) which have more than two different maturity dates, unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative (including agreements as to additional administrative fees to be paid by the Borrowers), and (ii) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by the Borrowers.

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

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

113

respect of Commitments or ABL Term Loans so extended, permit the repayment of non-extending Loans on the Termination Date and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative in connection therewith, in each case on terms consistent with this Subsection 2.8.

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

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

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

SECTION 3

Letters of Credit

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

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

115

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

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

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

3.2 Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit. (a) The Borrower Representative may, from time to time during the Commitment Period but in no event later than the 30th day prior to the Termination Date, request that an Issuing Lender issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to such Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent at its address for notices specified herein, an L/C Request therefor in the form of Exhibit J-2 hereto (completed to the reasonable satisfaction of such Issuing Lender), and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as such Issuing Lender may reasonably request. Upon receipt of any L/C Request, such Issuing Lender will process such L/C Request and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no

116

event shall an Issuing Lender be required, unless otherwise agreed to by such Issuing Lender, to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than five Business Days after its receipt of the L/C Request therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed by such Issuing Lender and the Borrower Representative. The applicable Issuing Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Borrower Representative promptly following the issuance thereof. Upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit or amendment, renewal, extension or modification to a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, who shall promptly notify each Lender, thereof, which notice shall specify the amount of such Lender’s respective participation in such Letter of Credit pursuant to Subsection 3.4. If the applicable Issuing Lender is not the same person as the Administrative Agent, on the first Business Day of each calendar month, such Issuing Lender shall provide to the Administrative Agent a report listing all outstanding Letters of Credit and the amounts thereof and the Administrative Agent shall promptly provide such report to each Lender.

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

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

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

3.3 Fees, Commissions and Other Charges. (a) Each Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent a letter of credit commission with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender on its behalf, computed for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit through and including to the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect for Eurodollar Loans that are Revolving Credit Loans calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of

117

Credit, payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date with respect to such Letter of Credit and on the Termination Date or such earlier date as the Commitments shall terminate as provided herein. Such commission shall be payable to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Revolving Credit Lenders to be shared ratably among them in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages. Each Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Issuing Lender with respect to each Letter of Credit a fee equal to 0.125% per annum of the maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (or such other amounts as may be agreed by such Borrower and such Issuing Lender) calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date with respect to such Letter of Credit and on the Termination Date or such earlier date as the Commitments shall terminate as provided herein. Such commissions and fees shall be nonrefundable. Such fees and commissions shall be payable in Dollars.

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

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

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

(b) If the Borrowers fail to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender on the due date as provided in Subsection 3.5, such Issuing Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable L/C Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrowers in respect thereof and such Lender’s Commitment Percentage thereof. Each Lender shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 P.M., New York City time, on such date (or, if such Lender shall have received such notice later than 12:00 P.M., New York City time, on any day, not later than 11:00 A.M.,

118

New York City time, on the next succeeding Business Day), the amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the unreimbursed L/C Disbursement in the same manner as provided in Subsection 2.2 with respect to Loans made by such Lender, and the Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Lender any amounts received by it from the Borrowers pursuant to the above clause (a) prior to the time that any Lender makes any payment pursuant to the preceding sentence and any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers thereafter will be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lender that shall have made such payments and to such Issuing Lender, as appropriate.

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

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

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

119

3.6 Obligations Absolute. The Reimbursement Obligations of Borrowers as provided in Subsection 3.5 shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein; (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit being proved to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (iii) payment by any Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that fails to comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 3, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the obligations of any Borrower hereunder; (v) the fact that a Default shall have occurred and be continuing; or (vi) any material adverse change in the business, property, results of operations, prospects or condition, financial or otherwise, of the Parent Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries. None of the Agents, the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders or any of their affiliates shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Lenders; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Lender from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law) suffered by the Borrowers that are caused by such Issuing Lender’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the applicable Issuing Lender (as ~~finally~~ determined ~~by a~~in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Lender may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

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

120

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

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

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

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