- 2 -

		Revolving Loans
Level	FIFO Inventory Amount	Base Rate			LIR			LIBOR
I	Greater than $325,000,000		0.25	%		1.25	%		1.25	%

If any Compliance Certificate or any other report on which the FIFO Inventory Amount is reported to Administrative Agent is shown to be inaccurate (regardless of whether this Agreement or any Commitments are or remain in effect when such inaccuracy is discovered), and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application of a higher Applicable Margin for any period (an "Applicable Period") than the Applicable Margin actually applied for such Applicable Period, then (A) Borrowers shall immediately deliver to Administrative Agent a correct Compliance Certificate or related report for the Applicable Period; (B) the Applicable Margin for such Applicable Period shall be determined by reference to such Compliance Certificate or related report; and (C) Borrowers shall promptly pay Administrative Agent, on demand, the accrued additional interest owing as a result of such increased Applicable Margin for such Applicable Period and any other additional fee or charge which was based, in whole or in part, on the Applicable Margin, which payment shall be promptly applied by Administrative Agent for its own account and the account of Lenders and LC Issuer, as applicable, in accordance with the terms hereof. If any inaccurate Compliance Certificate or other report on which the FIFO Inventory Amount is reported would, if corrected, have led to the application of a lower Applicable Margin for any period for which interest has already been paid, none of the Secured Parties shall be required to refund or return any portion of such interest.

Swingline Lender shall not be required to advance a Swingline Loan to Borrowers (including, without limitation, with respect to the Sweep Arrangement pursuant to Section 2.3(b)) if (i) such Swingline Loan would cause the total amount of Swingline Loans to exceed $20,000,000 or the Revolving Credit Exposure of Regions Bank to exceed the Revolving Commitment of Regions Bank, (ii) any condition precedent set forth in Section 3.2 is not satisfied at the time of the requested advance of such Swing Loan, (iii) such Swingline Loan would cause an Overadvance (as defined in the Addendum), or (iv) such Swingline Loan would cause the Aggregate Revolving Obligations to exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitments. Swingline Loans shall constitute Revolving Loans, except that payments thereon shall be made to Swingline Lender for its own account until Lenders have funded their participations therein as provided below. Promptly upon Swingline Lender's request, Borrowers shall execute and deliver to Swingline Lender the Swingline Note to evidence the Swingline Loans. For the avoidance of doubt, Swingline Loans may be made in any amount and without respect to the minimum amounts and increments set forth in Section 2.3(a).

(b) Settlement. Settlement of Loans, including Swingline Loans, among Swingline Lender, Lenders and Administrative Agent shall take place on a date determined from time to time by Swingline Lender (but at least weekly) with same day notice from Swingline Lender to Lenders by 11:00 a.m., based on their Pro Rata Shares in accordance with the Settlement Report delivered by Administrative Agent to Lenders. Loans of a given Type, including Swingline Loans, shall be settled among Lenders as Loans of such Type. Between settlement dates, Administrative Agent may in its discretion apply payments on Revolving Loans to Swingline Loans, regardless of any designation by Borrowers or any provision herein to the contrary. Each Lender hereby purchases, without recourse or warranty, an undivided participation based on its Pro Rata Share in all Swingline Loans outstanding from time to time until settled. If a Swingline Loan cannot be settled among Lenders, whether due to a Loan Party's Insolvency Proceeding or for any other reason, each Lender shall pay the amount of its participation in the Loan to Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, in immediately available funds, within one Business Day after Administrative Agent's or Swingline Lender's request therefor. Lenders' obligations to make settlements and to fund participations are absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, without offset, counterclaim or other defense, and whether or not the Commitments have terminated or the conditions in Article III are satisfied. The provisions of this Section 2.4 are solely for the benefit of Swingline Lender, Administrative Agent and the other Lenders, and none of the Loan Parties may rely on this Section 2.4 or have any standing to enforce its terms.

Section 2.5. Funding of Borrowings.

(a) Each Lender will make available each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer in immediately available funds by 2:00 p.m. for same-day Borrowings or 11:00 a.m. for other Borrowings, to Administrative Agent at the Payment Office; provided that Swingline Loans will be made as set forth in Section 2.4. Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to Borrowers by promptly crediting the amounts that it receives, in like funds by the close of business on such proposed date, to an account maintained by Borrower Agent, on behalf of Borrowers, with Administrative Agent or, at Borrower Agent's option, by effecting a wire transfer of such amounts to an account designated in writing by Borrower Agent to Administrative Agent.

- 27 -

(b) Unless Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to 5:00 p.m. one (1) Business Day prior to the date of a Borrowing in which such Lender is to participate that such Lender will not make available to Administrative Agent such Lender's share of such Borrowing, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to Administrative Agent on such date, and Administrative Agent, in reliance on such assumption, may make available to Borrowers on such date a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to Administrative Agent by such Lender on the date of such Borrowing, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest (x) at the Federal Funds Rate until the second Business Day after such demand and (y) at the Base Rate at all times thereafter. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon Administrative Agent's demand therefor, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower Agent, and Borrowers shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to Administrative Agent together with interest at the rate specified for such Borrowing. Nothing in this Section 2.5(b) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Borrowing hereunder or to prejudice any rights which Borrowers may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

(c) All fundings of borrowings of Revolving Loans shall be made by Lenders on the basis of their respective Pro Rata Shares. No Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in its obligations hereunder, and each Lender shall be obligated to make its Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to make its Loans hereunder.

Section 2.6. Interest Elections.

(a) Each Borrowing initially shall be specified in the applicable Notice of Borrowing (except as otherwise described herein with respect to the Sweep Arrangement). Thereafter, Borrowers may elect to convert a Borrowing or to continue such Borrowing, all as provided in this Section 2.6. Borrowers may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among Lenders holding Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 2.6 to the contrary, no conversion or continuation shall be required with respect to Loans that do not have an Interest Period.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.6, Borrower Agent shall give Administrative Agent a Notice of Conversion/Continuation (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing by a Notice of Conversion/Continuation) of each Borrowing that is to be converted or continued, by 11:00 a.m. three (3) Business Days prior to a continuation of or conversion of a LIBOR Loan. Each such Notice of Conversion/Continuation shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the Borrowing to which such Notice of Conversion/Continuation applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof that are to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (ii) and (iii) shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing), (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Notice of Conversion/Continuation, which shall be a Business Day, and (iii) if the resulting Borrowing is to be a Revolving Borrowing at LIBOR, the Interest Period applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of "Interest Period." If any such Notice of Conversion/Continuation does not specify an Interest Period, Borrowers shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one (1) month. The principal amount of any resulting Borrowing shall satisfy the minimum borrowing amount for Revolving Borrowings set forth in Section 2.3.

(c) If, on the expiration of any Interest Period in respect of any LIBOR Loan, Borrower Agent shall have failed to deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, Borrowers shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Borrowing to a LIBOR Loan with a one month Interest Period. No conversion of any LIBOR Loan shall be permitted except on the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto.

- 28 -

(d) Upon receipt of any Notice of Conversion/Continuation, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender's portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) Subject to Sections 2.14 and 2.15, (i) all Swingline Loans shall constitute LIR Revolving Loans and (ii) so long as Regions Bank is also the only Lender hereunder, all Loans shall, as applicable, be made or continued as, or converted into, LIBOR Loans or LIR Loans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, LIR Loans (other than Swingline Loans) shall only be available to Borrowers for so long as either (i) Regions Bank is the only Lender under this Agreement, or (ii) each Lender other than Regions Bank that holds a Revolving Commitment at any time agrees in its sole discretion to provide LIR Loans at the time such Lender acquires or provides its Revolving Commitment. If either of the foregoing conditions is not satisfied at any time, all LIR Loans then outstanding (other than Swingline Loans) shall convert, automatically and without notice to any Person, into, and Borrowers shall be deemed to have elected, a LIBOR Loan with a one month Interest Period in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of all such LIR Loans, rounded upwards to the nearest $1,000,000, and no Revolving Loans (other than Swingline Loans) shall thereafter be available to Borrowers as LIR Loans.

(f) All Loans made on the Closing Date (other than Swingline Loans) shall be made as Base Rate Loans or LIR Loans, subject to Sections 2.6(e), 2.14 and 2.15.

Section 2.7. Optional Reduction and Termination of Commitments.

(a) Unless previously terminated, all Revolving Commitments and Swingline Commitments, shall terminate on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date.

(b) Upon at least three (3) Business Days' prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) to Administrative Agent (which notice shall be irrevocable), Borrowers may reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitments in part or terminate the Aggregate Revolving Commitments in whole; provided that (i) any partial reduction shall apply to reduce proportionately and permanently the Revolving Commitment of each Lender, (ii) any partial reduction pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall be in an amount of at least $2,000,000 and any larger multiple of $1,000,000, and (iii) no such reduction shall be permitted which would reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitment Amount to an amount less than the aggregate outstanding Revolving Credit Exposure of all Lenders. Any such reduction in the Aggregate Revolving Commitment below the principal amount of the Swingline Commitment shall result in a dollar-for-dollar reduction in the Swingline Commitment.

(c) With the written approval of Administrative Agent, Borrowers may terminate (on a non-ratable basis) the unused amount of the Revolving Commitment of a Defaulting Lender, provided that such termination will not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim that any Borrower, Administrative Agent, or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.

Section 2.8. Repayment of Loans. The outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans shall be due and payable (together with accrued and unpaid interest and fees thereon) on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date.

- 29 -

Section 2.9. Evidence of Indebtedness. Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrowers, shall maintain a register (the "Register") of (a) with respect to Lenders, the names and addresses of Lenders, their Commitments and the principal amount of their Loans and (b) with respect to Borrowers, each Loan, issuance of a Letter of Credit or other financial accommodation from time to time made to Borrowers. Entries made in the Register shall (i) constitute presumptive evidence of the information contained therein and (ii) be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. Any failure of Administrative Agent to make entries in the Register, or any error in doing so, shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of Borrowers to pay any amount owing hereunder. Administrative Agent also shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and shall modify the Register to give effect to each Assignment and Acceptance. Borrowers, Administrative Agent, LC Issuer and Lenders may treat each Person (other than Borrowers) whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. Administrative Agent may choose only to list Borrower Agent in the Register, and each Borrower confirms that such arrangement shall have no effect on the joint and several character of its liability for the Obligations. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrowers and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice and, if any information contained in the Register is provided to or inspected by any such Person, then such information shall be conclusive and binding on such Person for all purposes absent manifest error, except to the extent such Person notifies Administrative Agent in writing within thirty (30) days after receipt or inspection that specific information is subject to dispute.

Section 2.10. Optional Prepayments. Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, by giving written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) to Administrative Agent no later than (i) in the case of any prepayment of any LIBOR Loan, 11:00 a.m. not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment; and (ii) in the case of any other Borrowing, prior to 11:00 a.m. on the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the proposed date of such prepayment and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid. Upon receipt of any such notice, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected Lender of the contents thereof and of such Lender's Pro Rata Share of any such prepayment. If such notice is given, the aggregate amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date designated in such notice, together with accrued interest to such date on the amount so prepaid in accordance with Section 2.11(e); provided that if a LIBOR Loan is prepaid on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, Borrowers shall also pay all amounts required pursuant to Section 2.17. Each partial prepayment of any Loan shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Revolving Borrowing of the same Type pursuant to Section 2.2 or in the case of a Swingline Loan, pursuant to Section 2.4. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans.

Section 2.11. Interest on Loans.

(a) Borrowers shall pay interest on each LIBOR Loan at LIBOR for the applicable Interest Period in effect for such Loan plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time. Borrowers shall pay interest on each LIR Loan at the LIBOR Index Rate, as reset from time to time, plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time. Borrowers shall pay interest on each Base Rate Loan at the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time.

(b) Borrowers shall pay interest on each Swingline Loan at the LIBOR Index Rate, as reset from time to time, plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time.

(c) Notwithstanding Section 2.11(a), at the option of the Required Lenders, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and automatically after acceleration or with respect to any past due amount hereunder, Borrowers shall pay interest ("Default Interest") with respect to all Loans at the rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the highest Applicable Margin with respect thereto plus 200 basis points.

- 30 -

(d) Interest on all Loans shall accrue from and including the date such Loans are made to but excluding the date of any repayment thereof. Interest on all outstanding LIBOR Loans shall be payable on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto, on all LIR Loans and Base Rate Loans on the first day of each calendar month. All Loans shall be payable in full on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date. Interest on any Loan which is converted into a Loan of another Type or which is repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such conversion or on the date of any such repayment or prepayment (on the amount repaid or prepaid) thereof. All Default Interest shall be payable on demand.

(e) Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans and, upon request by Borrower Agent or a Lender, shall promptly notify hereunder Borrower Agent or such Lender of such rate in writing (or by telephone, promptly confirmed in writing). Any such determination shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(f) LIBOR on the date hereof is 0.1875% per annum and, therefore, the rate of interest in effect on the date hereof, expressed in simple interest terms, is 1.4375% per annum for LIBOR Loans. The LIBOR Index Rate on the date hereof is 0.1875% per annum and, therefore, the rate of interest in effect on the date hereof, expressed in simple interest terms, is 1.4375% per annum for LIR Revolving Loans. The Base Rate on the date hereof is 3.25% per annum and, therefore, the rate of interest in effect on the date hereof, expressed in simple interest terms, is 3.50% per annum for Base Rate Revolving Loans.

Section 2.12. Fees.

(a) Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent, for its own account, the fees payable to Administrative Agent which are described in the Fee Letter, all of which shall be due and payable in the amounts and at the times set forth therein.

(b) Prior to the Borrowing Base Trigger Event, Borrowers agree to pay to Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender on the first day of each calendar month ending after the Closing Date and on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, in arrears, a commitment fee in an amount equal to 0.20% per annum times the average amount by which the Revolving Commitments exceeded the Aggregate Revolving Obligations (other than Swingline Loans) on each day during the immediately preceding calendar month. On and after the occurrence of the Borrowing Base Trigger Event, Borrowers shall pay Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee as more fully set forth in the Addendum.

(c) On the first day of each Fiscal Quarter ending after the Closing Date, Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent, in arrears and for the account of Lenders, a letter of credit fee for each outstanding Letter of Credit in an amount equal to (A) the Applicable Margin in effect for LIBOR Revolving Loans plus, at all times when the Default Interest is being charged with respect to Loans is in effect, 2.00% times (B) the average amount available to be drawn on such outstanding Letters of Credit each day during the immediately preceding Fiscal Quarter. At the time any Letter of Credit is issued, Borrowers shall pay to LC Issuer, quarterly in arrears and for its own account, a fronting fee in an amount equal to (A) the amount set forth in the Fee Letter, times (B) the initial face amount of such Letter of Credit, times (C) the initial stated duration of such Letter of Credit (which fee shall be fully earned upon issuance of the Letter of Credit, and none of such fee shall be refundable, in whole or in part, regardless of any cancellation, termination, or draw upon the Letter of Credit). Additionally, Borrowers shall pay to LC Issuer, for its own account, all customary charges associated with the issuance, amending, negotiating, payment, processing, transfer, and administration of Letters of Credit, which charges shall be paid as and when incurred.

- 31 -

Section 2.13. Computation of Interest and Fees. All interest and all fees hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). Each determination by Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be made in good faith and, except for manifest error, shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes. All fees payable under Section 2.12 are compensation for services and, to the extent of Applicable Law, are not, and shall not be deemed to be, interest or any other charge for the use, forbearance, or detention of money. A certificate as to amounts payable by Borrowers under Sections 2.16 and 2.17, timely submitted to Borrower Agent by Administrative Agent or the affected Lender, as applicable, shall be final, conclusive, and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and Borrowers shall pay such amounts to the applicable Person within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of such certificate. All fees shall be fully earned when due and shall not, absent manifest error, be subject to rebate, refund, or proration, in whole or in part. All fees paid to Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders, LC Issuer, or any other Person shall be paid by Administrative Agent to such Persons promptly upon its receipt thereof and, with respect to fees payable for the account of Lenders, in accordance with each such Lender's Pro Rata Share thereof.

Section 2.14. Inability to Determine Interest Rates. If, prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for any LIBOR Loan:

(a) Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrowers) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant interbank market, adequate means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for such Interest Period, or

(b) Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required Lenders that LIBOR does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period,

Administrative Agent shall give written notice (or telephonic notice, promptly confirmed in writing) to Borrower Agent and to each Lender as soon as practicable thereafter. Until Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower Agent and each Lender that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) the obligations of Lenders to make LIBOR Loans or to continue or convert outstanding Loans as or into LIBOR Loans shall be suspended and (ii) all such affected Loans shall be converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto unless Borrowers prepay such Loans in accordance with this Agreement. Unless Borrower Agent notifies Administrative Agent at least one (1) Business Day before the date of any LIBOR Loan for which a Notice of Borrowing has previously been given that Borrowers elect not to borrow, continue or convert to a LIBOR Loan on such date, then such Borrowing shall be made as, continued as or converted into a Base Rate Loan.

Section 2.15. Illegality. If any Change in Law shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender to make, maintain or fund any LIBOR Loan and such Lender shall so notify Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to Borrower Agent and each other Lender, whereupon until such Lender notifies Administrative Agent and Borrower Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Lender to make LIBOR Loans, or to continue or convert outstanding Loans as or into LIBOR Loans, shall be suspended. In the case of the making of a LIBOR Loan, such Lender's Revolving Loan shall be made as a Base Rate Loan as part of the same Borrowing for the same Interest Period and, if the affected LIBOR Loan is then outstanding, such Loan shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan either (i) on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Loan if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Loan to such date or (ii) immediately if such Lender shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Loan to such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the affected Lender shall, prior to giving such notice to Administrative Agent, designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation would avoid the need for giving such notice and if such designation would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in the good faith exercise of its discretion.

- 32 -

Section 2.16. Increased Costs.

(a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement that is not otherwise included in the determination of LIBOR hereunder against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in LIBOR); or

(ii) impose on any Lender, or the eurodollar interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or any LIBOR Loans made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining a LIBOR Loan or to reduce the amount received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount),

then, from time to time, such Lender may provide Borrower Agent (with a copy thereof to Administrative Agent) with written notice and demand with respect to such increased costs or reduced amounts, and within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such notice and demand Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for any such increased costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that on or after the date of this Agreement any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's capital (or on the capital of the Parent Company of such Lender) as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender, or such Parent Company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender's policies or the policies of such Parent Company with respect to capital adequacy), then, from time to time, such Lender may provide Borrower Agent (with a copy thereof to Administrative Agent) with written notice and demand with respect to such reduced amounts, and within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such notice and demand Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Parent Company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of such Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Parent Company of such Lender specified in Section 2.16(a) or (b) shall be delivered to Borrower Agent (with a copy to Administrative Agent), and shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender under this Section 2.16 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than six (6) months prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrower Agent of such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender's intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then such six-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect.

- 33 -

Section 2.17. Funding Indemnity. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of a LIBOR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion or continuation of a LIBOR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (c) the failure by Borrowers to borrow, prepay, convert or continue any LIBOR Loan on the date specified in any applicable notice (regardless of whether such notice is withdrawn or revoked), then, in any such event, Borrowers shall compensate each Lender, within five (5) Business Days after written demand from such Lender, for any loss, cost or expense attributable to such event. In the case of a LIBOR Loan, such loss, cost or expense shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (A) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such LIBOR Loan if such event had not occurred at LIBOR applicable to such LIBOR Loan for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan) over (B) the amount of interest that would accrue on the principal amount of such LIBOR Loan for the same period if LIBOR were set on the date such LIBOR Loan was prepaid or converted or the date on which Borrowers failed to borrow, convert or continue such LIBOR Loan. A certificate as to any additional amount payable under this Section 2.17 submitted to Borrower Agent by any Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

Section 2.18. Taxes.

(a) LC Issuer. For purposes of this Section 2.18, the term "Lender" shall include LC Issuer and the term "Applicable Law" shall include FATCA.

(b) Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.18) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(c) Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(d) Tax Indemnification. (i) The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.18) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to Borrower Agent by a Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

- 34 -

(e) Each Lender shall severally indemnify Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender's failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.4 relating to the maintenance of a participant register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such 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 any Lender by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by Administrative Agent to Lender from any other source against any amount due to Administrative Agent under this clause (e).

(f) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.18, such Loan Party shall deliver to Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of a return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.

(g) Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Credit Document shall deliver to Borrower Agent and Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower Agent or Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower Agent or Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower Agent or Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by Borrower Agent or Administrative Agent as will enable Borrower Agent or Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in clauses (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in Lender's reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that a Borrower is a U.S. Person:

(i) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrower Agent and Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower Agent or Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(ii) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower Agent and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower Agent or Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

- 35 -

(A) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the "interest" article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the "business profits" or "other income" article of such tax treaty;

(B) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(C) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a certificate substantially in form and content satisfactory to Administrative Agent to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a "bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, a "10 percent shareholder" of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a "controlled foreign corporation" described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code (a "U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate") and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or

(D) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(iii) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower Agent and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower Agent or Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit Borrower Agent or Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(h) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by Applicable Law, at no time shall Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender. If any indemnified party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.18 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.18), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.18 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of the indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this clause (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this clause (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(i) Survival. Each party's obligations under this Section 2.18 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

Section 2.19. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.

(a) Borrowers shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or of amounts payable under Section 2.16, 2.17 or 2.18, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon on the date when due, in immediately available funds, free and clear of any defenses, rights of set-off, counterclaim, or withholding or deduction of taxes. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to Administrative Agent at the Payment Office, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.16, 2.17, 2.18 and 10.3 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be made payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in Dollars.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, during an Event of Default, if so directed by the Required Lenders or at Administrative Agent's discretion, monies to be applied to the Obligations, whether arising from payments by Loan Parties, realization on Collateral, setoff, or otherwise, shall be allocated as set forth in the Security Agreement.

- 37 -

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or Swingline Loans that would result in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Credit Exposure and accrued interest and fees thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender with respect to its Revolving Credit Exposure, then Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Credit Exposure of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Revolving Credit Exposure; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this Section 2.19(c) shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Revolving Credit Exposure to any assignee or participant, other than to Borrowers (as to which the provisions of this Section 2.19(c) shall apply). Each Borrower 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, at any time an Event of Default exists, exercise against Borrowers rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of Borrowers in the amount of such participation.

(d) Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Borrower Agent prior to the date on which any payment is due to Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders hereunder that Borrowers will not make such payment, Administrative Agent may assume that Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to Lenders the amount or amounts due. In such event, if Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each Lender severally agrees to repay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender 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 Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

Section 2.20. Mitigation of Obligations. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.16, 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 2.18, 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 sole judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable under Section 2.16 or Section 2.18, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) 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 such designation or assignment.

Section 2.21. Borrower Agent. Each Loan Party hereby designates Parent ("Borrower Agent") as its representative and agent for all purposes under the Loan Documents, including requests for Loans and Letters of Credit, designation of interest rates and Interest Periods, delivery or receipt of communications (including any Notice of Borrowing, Notice of Conversion/Continuation, any electronic mail notice or request for a Borrowing or the conversion, or continuation of any Loan, or any request for the issuance of any Letter of Credit), financial reports and Compliance Certificates, receipt and payment of Obligations, requests for waivers, amendments, or other accommodations, actions under the Loan Documents (including in respect of compliance with covenants), and all other dealings with Administrative Agent, LC Issuer, or any Lender. Borrower Agent hereby accepts such appointment. Administrative Agent, LC Issuer, and Lenders may give any notice to, or communication with, a Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document to or with Borrower Agent on behalf of such Loan Party. Each Loan Party agrees that any notice, election, communication, representation, agreement, or undertaking made on its behalf by Borrower Agent shall be binding upon and enforceable against it. Administrative Agent, LC Issuer, and Lenders shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, the terms of this Section 2.21.

Section 2.22. Letter of Credit Facility.

(a) Issuance of Letters of Credit. LC Issuer agrees to issue Letters of Credit from time to time for Borrowers' account on the terms set forth in this Agreement, including the following:

(i) LC Issuer shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit unless each of the LC Conditions has been satisfied (as determined by LC Issuer and Administrative Agent).

(ii) If LC Issuer receives written notice from Administrative Agent or a Lender at least five (5) Business Days before issuance of a Letter of Credit that any LC Condition has not been satisfied, LC Issuer shall have no obligation to issue the requested Letter of Credit (or any other Letter of Credit) until such notice is withdrawn in writing by Administrative Agent or such Lender or until the Required Lenders have waived the applicable LC Condition in accordance with this Agreement. Before receipt of any such notice, LC Issuer shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any failure to satisfy any LC Condition.

(iii) Borrowers may request and employ Letters of Credit only (A) to support obligations of any Borrower incurred in the Ordinary Course of Business or (B) for such other purposes as Administrative Agent may approve from time to time in writing. The renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit shall be treated as the issuance of a new Letter of Credit, except that the applicable Borrower or Borrowers need not deliver a new LC Application unless requested to do so by LC Issuer.

(iv) In connection with its administration of and enforcement of rights or remedies under any Letters of Credit or LC Documents, LC Issuer shall be entitled to act, and shall be fully protected in acting, upon any certification, documentation, or communication in whatever form believed by LC Issuer, in good faith, to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent, or made by a proper Person.

(b) Reimbursement; Participations.

(i) On the date LC Issuer honors any draw under a Letter of Credit (each such date, a "Reimbursement Date"), Borrowers shall reimburse LC Issuer the amount paid by LC Issuer on account of such draw, together with interest from the Reimbursement Date until paid by Borrowers (at the interest rate for Base Rate Revolving Loans. The obligation of Borrowers to reimburse LC Issuer for any draw made under a Letter of Credit is absolute, unconditional, and irrevocable, and Borrowers shall make such reimbursement without regard to any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit or the existence of any claim, setoff, defense, or other right Borrowers may have at any time against the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit. On each Reimbursement Date, Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Revolving Loans in an amount necessary to pay the amounts due to LC Issuer on such date (regardless of whether Borrower Agent submits a Notice of Borrowing therefor), and each Lender shall fund its Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing, without offset, counterclaim, or other defense and regardless of whether the Commitments have terminated or any condition precedent to the making of Loans has not been satisfied.

- 39 -

(ii) Upon the issuance of a Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased from LC Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in all LC Obligations relating to such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Share thereof. If LC Issuer honors any draw under a Letter of Credit and Borrowers do not reimburse the amount thereof on the Reimbursement Date, Administrative Agent (at LC Issuer's request) shall promptly notify Lenders, and each Lender shall promptly (within one Business Day) unconditionally pay to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of LC Issuer, such Lender's Pro Rata Share of such draw. Upon request by a Lender, LC Issuer shall furnish such Lender with copies of any Letters of Credit and LC Documents in its possession at such time.

(iii) The obligations of each Lender to make payments to Administrative Agent for the account of LC Issuer in connection with LC Issuer's honoring any draw under a Letter of Credit are absolute, unconditional, and irrevocable and are not subject to any counterclaim, setoff, defense, qualification, or exception, and such Lender shall perform such obligations, as applicable, (A) irrespective of any lack of validity or unenforceability of any Loan Documents; (B) regardless of whether the Commitments have been terminated or any condition precedent to the making of any Loan has not been satisfied; (C) regardless of whether any draft, certificate, or other document presented under a Letter of Credit is determined to be forged, fraudulent, invalid, or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; and (D) regardless of the existence of any setoff or defense that any Loan Party may have with respect to any Obligations. LC Issuer assumes no responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by any Borrower or other Person of any obligations under any LC Documents. LC Issuer makes no representation, warranty, or guaranty, express or implied, with respect to the Collateral, LC Documents, or any Loan Party. LC Issuer is not responsible for (A) any recitals, statements, information, representations, or warranties contained in, or for the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness, or enforceability of, any LC Documents; (B) the validity, genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value, or sufficiency of any Collateral or the perfection of any Lien therein; or (C) the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness, or legal status of any Loan Party.

(iv) No LC Issuer Indemnitee shall be liable to Administrative Agent, any Lender, or any other Person for any action taken or omitted to be taken in connection with any LC Documents except as a result of its actual gross negligence or willful misconduct. LC Issuer shall have no liability to any Lender if LC Issuer refrains from taking any action, or refuses to take any action, under any Letter of Credit or LC Documents until it receives written instructions from the Required Lenders.

(c) Cash Collateral.

If Borrowers fail to provide Cash Collateral as required herein, Lenders may (and, upon written request of Administrative Agent, shall) advance, as Revolving Loans, the amount of the Cash Collateral required (regardless of whether the Commitments have terminated or any condition precedent to the making of any Loan has not been satisfied).

Section 2.23. Defaulting Lender.

(a) Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender's right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 10.2.

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amount (other than fees which any Defaulting Lender is not entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.23(a)(iii)) received by Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 8.2 or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.7), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to LC Issuer or the Swingline Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize LC Issuer's Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.26; fourth, as Borrower Agent may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by Administrative Agent and Borrower Agent to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender's potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize LC Issuer's future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.26; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to Lenders, LC Issuer or Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, LC Issuer or the Swingline Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to Borrowers, or any of them, as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Borrower or Borrowers against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, that, if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or LC Obligations in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or LC Obligations were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to the pay the Loans of, and LC Obligations owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders based on their Pro Rata Shares prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or LC Obligations owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in LC Obligations and Swingline Loans are held by Lenders based on their Pro Rata Shares in accordance with their Revolving Commitments without giving effect to Section 2.23(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.23(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to (and the underlying obligations satisfied to the extent of such payment) and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees.

(A) Such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee, any fees with respect to Letters of Credit (except as provided in clause (b) below) or any other fees hereunder for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

- 41 -

(B) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive fees with respect to Letters of Credit for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Pro Rata Share of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.26.

(C) With respect to any fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, Borrowers shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender's participation in LC Obligations or Swingline Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to LC Issuer or Swingline Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such LC Issuer's or Swingline Lender's Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(iv) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender's participation in LC Obligations and Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender's Revolving Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless Borrowers shall have otherwise notified Administrative Agent at such time, Borrowers shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure at such time to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender's Revolving Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender's increased exposure following such reallocation.

(v) Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swingline Loans. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (x) first, prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the Swingline Lenders' Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize each Issuing Banks' Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.26.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If Borrower Agent, Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and LC Issuer agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held pro rata by Lenders in accordance with the Revolving Commitments (without giving effect to Section 2.23(a)(iv), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender's having been a Defaulting Lender.

- 42 -

(c) New Swingline Loans/Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund Swingline Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swingline Loan (after giving effect to Section 2.23(a)(iv)), and (ii) no LC Issuer shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto (after giving effect to Section 2.23(a)(iv)).

Section 2.24. One Obligation. The Loans, LC Obligations, and other Obligations shall constitute one general, joint and several obligation of Borrowers and (unless otherwise expressly provided in any Loan Document) shall be secured by Administrative Agent's Lien upon all Collateral; provided, however, that Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be deemed to be a creditor of, and the holder of a separate claim against, each Borrower to the extent of any Obligations jointly or severally owed by such Borrower.

Section 2.25. Effect of Termination. On the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, all Obligations shall be immediately due and payable, and each Lender may terminate its and its Affiliates' Bank Products. All undertakings of Borrowers contained in the Loan Documents shall survive any termination, and Administrative Agent shall retain its Liens in the Collateral and all of its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, until Payment in Full of all Obligations. Notwithstanding Payment in Full of all Obligations, Administrative Agent shall not be required to terminate its Liens in any Collateral unless, with respect to any damages Administrative Agent may incur as a result of the dishonor or return of Payment Items applied to Obligations, Administrative Agent receives (a) a written agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, executed by Borrowers and any Person whose advances are used in whole or in part to satisfy the Obligations (which Person must be acceptable to Administrative Agent), indemnifying Administrative Agent and Lenders from any such damages, or (b) such Cash Collateral as Administrative Agent deems reasonably necessary to protect against any such damages. The last paragraph of the definition of "Applicable Margin," Sections 2.17, 2.22, 9, 10.3 and 10.15, this section, the obligation of each Loan Party and Lender with respect to each indemnity given by it in any Loan Document, and each other term, provision, or section of this Agreement or any other Loan Document which states as much, shall survive Payment in Full of the Obligations and any release or termination relating to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or the credit facility established hereunder or thereunder.

Section 2.26. Cash Collateral. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one (1) Business Day following the written request of Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank (with a copy to Administrative Agent) Borrowers shall Cash Collateralize each applicable Issuing Banks' Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in an amount sufficient to cover the applicable Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.23(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender). Borrowers, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of LC Issuer, and agrees to maintain, a perfected first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders' obligation to fund participations in respect of LC Obligations, to be applied in the manner set forth below. If at any time Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than Administrative Agent and LC Issuer as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure, Borrowers will, promptly upon demand by Administrative Agent, pay or provide to Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to Section 2.23(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 2.26 or Section 2.23 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender's obligation to fund participations in respect of LC Obligations (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce any Issuing Bank's Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.26 following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the determination by Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, (x) that Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Loan Party shall not be released during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default (and following application as provided in this Section 2.26 may be otherwise applied in accordance with Section 2.18(b)) but shall be released upon the cure, termination or waiver of such Default or Event of Default in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and any Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, as applicable, may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other Obligations.

Section 2.27. Effectiveness of Addendum. Upon the occurrence of the Borrowing Base Trigger Event, the terms and conditions of the Addendum shall be of full force and effect without any further action by any Person. To the extent a term or condition of the Addendum is duplicative of or in conflict with any term or condition hereof, the term or condition, as applicable, of the Addendum shall govern and control.

Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub- agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

Section 9.3. Lack of Reliance on Administrative Agent. Each of Lenders acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each of Lenders also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking any action under or based on this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Section 9.4. Certain Rights of Administrative Agent. If Administrative Agent shall request instructions from the Required Lenders with respect to any action or actions (including the failure to act) in connection with this Agreement, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such act unless and until it shall have received instructions from such Lenders, and Administrative Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Administrative Agent as a result of Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders where required by the terms of this Agreement.

Section 9.5. Reliance by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person.

Section 9.6. Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. The bank serving as Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and any other Loan Document in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it were not Administrative Agent; and the terms "Lenders," "Required Lenders," or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The bank acting as Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of any Loan Party as if it were not Administrative Agent hereunder.

Section 9.7. Successor Administrative Agent.

(a) Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to Lenders and Borrower Agent. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, subject to approval by Borrower Agent provided that no Default or Event of Default shall exist at such time. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or a bank which maintains an office in the United States, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000.

If, within 45 days after written notice is given of the retiring Administrative Agent's resignation under this Section 9.7, no successor Administrative Agent shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment, then on such 45th day (i) the retiring Administrative Agent's resignation shall become effective, (ii) the retiring Administrative Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents and (iii) the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all duties of the retiring Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

Section 9.8. Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable law, Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any authority of the United States or any other jurisdiction asserts a claim that Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify Administrative Agent (to the extent that Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of Borrowers to do so) fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses, allocated staff costs and any out of pocket expenses.

Section 9.9. Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.

(a) In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or any Revolving Credit Exposure shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on Borrowers) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

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

- 71 -

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

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

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

Section 9.10. Authorization to Execute Other Loan Documents. Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to execute on behalf of all Lenders all Loan Documents other than this Agreement.

Section 9.11. Administrative Agent Titles. Each Lender, other than Administrative Agent, that is designated (on the cover page of this Agreement or otherwise) by Administrative Agent as an "Arranger," "Documentation Agent," or "Syndication Agent" of any type shall not have any right, power, responsibility, or duty under any Loan Documents other than those applicable to all Lenders and shall in no event be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any other Lender.

Section 9.12. Bank Product Providers. Each holder of Secured Bank Product Obligations agrees to be bound by the Loan Documents. Each holder of Secured Bank Product Obligations shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Administrative Agent Indemnitees, to the extent not reimbursed by Loan Parties, against all Claims that may be incurred by or asserted against any Administrative Agent Indemnitee in connection with such provider's Secured Bank Product Obligations.

Section 9.13. No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Section 9 is an agreement solely among Administrative Agent, LC Issuer, and Lenders and shall survive Payment in Full of the Obligations. This Section 9 does not confer any rights or benefits upon Loan Parties or any other Person, and no Loan Party shall have any standing to enforce this Section 9. As between Loan Parties and Administrative Agent, any action that Administrative Agent may take under any Loan Documents or with respect to any Obligations shall be conclusively presumed to have been authorized and directed by LC Issuer and Lenders, as applicable.

Section 9.14. Certifications From Lenders and Participants; PATRIOT Act; No Reliance.

(a) PATRIOT Act Certifications. Each Lender or assignee or Participant of a Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (and is not excepted from the certification requirement contained in Section 313 of the PATRIOT Act and the applicable regulations because it is both (i) an affiliate of a depository institution or foreign bank that maintains a physical presence in the United States or foreign country, and (ii) subject to supervision by a banking authority regulating such affiliated depository institution or foreign bank) shall deliver to Administrative Agent the certification, or, if applicable, recertification, certifying that such Lender, assignee or Participant is not a "shell" and certifying to other matters as required by Section 313 of the PATRIOT Act and the applicable regulations: (1) within ten (10) days after the Closing Date, and (2) as such other times as are required under the PATRIOT Act.

(i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of each Lender;

(ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby;

- 74 -

(iii) postpone the date fixed for any payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Loan or any fees hereunder or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date for the termination or reduction of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby;

(iv) change Section 2.19(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender;

(v) change any of the provisions of this Section 10.2(b) or the definition of "Required Lenders" or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders which are required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender;

(viii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral without the written consent of each Lender, contractually subordinate any of Administrative Agent's Liens in and to the Collateral, except to the extent expressly permitted by the terms hereof or subordinate the payment of any Obligations;

provided, further, that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights, duties or obligations of Administrative Agent or Swingline Lender without the prior written consent of such Person.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended, and amounts payable to such Lender hereunder may not be permanently reduced, without the consent of such Lender (other than reductions in fees and interest in which such reduction does not disproportionately affect such Lender). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this Agreement may be amended and restated without the consent of any Lender (but with the consent of each Loan Party and Administrative Agent) if, upon giving effect to such amendment and restatement, such Lender shall no longer be a party to this Agreement (as so amended and restated), the Commitments of such Lender shall have terminated (but such Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.16, 2.17, 2.18 and 10.3), such Lender shall have no other commitment or other obligation hereunder and such Lender shall have been paid in full all principal, interest and other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement.

(b) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments, Loans and other Revolving Credit Exposure at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

- 77 -

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender's Commitments, Loans and other Revolving Credit Exposure at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) in any case not described in Section 10.4(b)(i)(A), the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans and Revolving Credit Exposure outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans and Revolving Credit Exposure of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to Administrative Agent or, if "Trade Date" is specified in the Assignment and Acceptance, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000 with respect to Revolving Loans and in minimum increments of $1,000,000, unless each of Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower Agent otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans, other Revolving Credit Exposure or the Commitments assigned.

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by Section 10.4(b)(i)(B) and, in addition:

(A) the consent of Borrower Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund of such Lender; and

(B) the consent of Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund of such Lender.

(iv) Assignment and Acceptance. The applicable Lender and assignee with respect to each assignment shall deliver to Administrative Agent (A) a duly executed Assignment and Acceptance, (B) an Administrative Questionnaire unless the assignee is already a Lender, (C) a processing fee in the amount of $3,500 (or such lesser amount agreed to by Administrative Agent in its discretion), and (D) the documents required under Section 2.18(e).

(v) No Assignment to Loan Parties. No such assignment shall be made to Parent or any of Parent's Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person.

- 78 -

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.4(c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.16, 2.17, 2.18 and 10.3 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender's having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.4(b) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.4(d). If the consent of Borrower Agent to an assignment is required hereunder (including a consent to an assignment which does not meet the minimum assignment thresholds specified above), Borrower Agent shall be deemed to have given its consent unless it shall object thereto by written notice to Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after notice thereof has actually been delivered by the assigning Lender (through Administrative Agent) to Borrower Agent.

(c) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Loan Party, Administrative Agent or Swingline Lender, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, Parent or any of Parent's Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a "Participant") in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) Loan Parties, Swingline Lender, Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement.

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to the following to the extent affecting such Participant: (i) increase the Commitment of such Lender; (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder; (iii) postpone the date fixed for any payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Loan or any fees hereunder or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date for the termination or reduction of any Commitment; (iv) change Section 2.19(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby; (v) change any of the provisions of Section 10.2(b) or the definition of "Required Lenders" or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders which are required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder. Subject to Section 10.4(e), each Loan Party agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.16, 2.17. and 2.18 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.4(b); provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.20 as though it were a Lender. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.7 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.19 as though it were a Lender.

(d) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Loan Parties, maintain a register in the United States on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant's interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the "Participant Register"). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and such 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. Borrower Agent and Administrative Agent shall have inspection rights to such Participant Register (upon reasonable prior notice to the applicable Lender) solely for purposes of demonstrating that such Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents are in "registered form" for purposes of the Code.

- 79 -

(e) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.16 and 2.18 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Borrower Agent's prior written consent. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.18 unless Borrower Agent is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of Loan Parties, to comply with Section 2.18(e) and (f) as though it were a Lender.

(f) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(g) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.16, or if a Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.18 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 2.20, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then such Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, this Section 10.4), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.16 or Section 2.18) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to another Person that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

(i) Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 10.4(b)(iv);

(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.17) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts);

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.16 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.18, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

(iv) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable 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.

Nothing herein shall limit the right of Administrative Agent or any Lender to bring proceedings against any Loan Party in any other court, nor limit the right of any party to serve process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to preclude enforcement by Administrative Agent of any judgment or order obtained in any forum or jurisdiction.

(c) Each Loan Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding described in Section 10.1(b) and brought in any court referred to in Section 10.1(b).

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which may be treated as interest on such Loan under Applicable Law (collectively, the "Charges"), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate of interest (the "Maximum Rate") which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by a Lender holding such Loan in accordance with Applicable Law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 10.12 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate to the date of repayment (to the extent permitted by Applicable Law), shall have been received by such Lender.

Section 10.13. Patriot Act. Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby notifies the Loan Parties 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 such Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the Patriot Act.

Section 10.14. No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees and acknowledges its Affiliates' understanding that (i) (A) the services regarding this Agreement provided by Administrative Agent and/or Lenders are arm's-length commercial transactions between each Loan Party and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and Administrative Agent and Lenders, on the other hand, (B) each Loan Party has consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they have deemed appropriate, and (C) each Loan Party is capable of evaluating and understanding, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) each of Administrative Agent and Lenders is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for any Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Person, and (B) neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any obligation to any Loan Party or any of their Affiliates with respect to the transaction contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) Administrative Agent, Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates, and each of Administrative Agent and Lenders has no obligation to disclose any of such interests to any Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Loan Party hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

- 84 -

Section 10.15. Revival and Reinstatement of Obligations. If the incurrence or payment of the Obligations by or on behalf of any Borrower or the transfer to Administrative Agent, LC Issuer, or any Lender of any Property (including through setoff) should for any reason subsequently be declared to be void or voidable under any state or federal law relating to creditors' rights, including provisions of the Bankruptcy Code relating to fraudulent conveyances, preferences, or other voidable or recoverable payments of money or transfers of Property (collectively, a "Voidable Transfer"), and if Administrative Agent, LC Issuer or any Lender, or any of them, is required to repay or restore, in whole or in part, any such Voidable Transfer, or elects to do so upon the reasonable advice of its counsel, then, as to any such Voidable Transfer, or the amount thereof that such Persons, or any of them, is required or elects to repay or restore, and as to all reasonable costs, expenses, and attorneys' fees of such Persons related thereto, the liability of Borrowers automatically shall be revived, reinstated, and restored and shall exist as though such Voidable Transfer had never been made.

Section 10.16. Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement and the other the Loan Documents.

Article 11

NATURE AND EXTENT OF EACH LOAN PARTY'S LIABILITY

Section 11.1. Joint and Several Liability. Each Loan Party agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Administrative Agent, LC Issuer and Lenders the prompt payment and performance of, all Obligations and all agreements under the Loan Documents. Each Loan Party agrees that its guaranty obligations hereunder constitute a continuing guaranty of payment and not of collection, that such obligations shall not be discharged until Payment in Full of the Obligations, and that such obligations are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of (i) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability, subordination, or any future modification of, or change in, any Obligations or Loan Document, or any other document, instrument, or agreement to which any Loan Party is or may become a party or be bound; (ii) the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement (including this Section 11) or any other Loan Document, or any waiver, consent, or indulgence of any kind by Administrative Agent, LC Issuer, or any Lender with respect thereto; (iii) the existence, value, or condition of, or failure to perfect a Lien, or to preserve rights against, any security or guaranty for the Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by Administrative Agent, LC Issuer, or any Lender in respect thereof (including the release of any security or guaranty); (iv) the insolvency of any Loan Party or Subsidiary; (v) any election by Administrative Agent, LC Issuer, or any Lender in an Insolvency Proceeding for the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code; (vi) any borrowing or grant of a Lien by any other Loan Party, as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; (vii) the disallowance of any claims of Administrative Agent, LC Issuer or any Lender against any Loan Party for the repayment of any Obligations under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; or (viii) any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, except Payment in Full of all Obligations.

Section 11.2. Waivers.

(a) Each Loan Party expressly waives all rights that it may have now or in the future under any statute, at common law, in equity or otherwise, to compel Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to marshal assets or to proceed against any Loan Party, other Person or security for the payment or performance of any Obligations before, or as a condition to, proceeding against such Loan Party. Each Loan Party waives all defenses available to a surety, guarantor, or accommodation co-obligor other than Payment in Full of all Obligations. It is agreed among each Loan Party, Administrative Agent, LC Issuer and Lenders that the provisions of this Section 11 are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents and that, but for such provisions, Administrative Agent, LC Issuer and Lenders would decline to make Loans and issue Letters of Credit. Each Loan Party acknowledges that its guaranty pursuant to this Section 11 is necessary to the conduct and promotion of its business and can be expected to benefit such business.

- 85 -

(b) Administrative Agent and Lenders may, in their discretion, pursue such rights and remedies as they deem appropriate, including realization upon Collateral by judicial foreclosure or non-judicial sale or enforcement, without affecting any rights and remedies under this Section 11. If, in taking any action in connection with the exercise of any rights or remedies, Administrative Agent, LC Issuer or any Lender shall forfeit any other rights or remedies, including the right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Loan Party or other Person, whether because of any Applicable Laws pertaining to "election of remedies" or otherwise, each Loan Party consents to such action and waives any claim based upon it, even if the action may result in loss of any rights of subrogation that any Loan Party might otherwise have had. Any election of remedies that results in denial or impairment of the right of Administrative Agent, LC Issuer or any Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against any Loan Party shall not impair any Loan Party's obligation to pay the full amount of the Obligations. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Party waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies, such as non-judicial foreclosure with respect to any security for the Obligations, even though that election of remedies destroys such Loan Party's rights of subrogation against any other Person. Administrative Agent may bid all or a portion of the Obligations at any foreclosure or trustee's sale or at any private sale, and the amount of such bid need not be paid by Administrative Agent but shall be credited against the Obligations. The amount of the successful bid at any such sale, whether Administrative Agent or any other Person is the successful bidder, shall be conclusively deemed to be the fair market value of the Collateral, and the difference between such bid amount and the remaining balance of the Obligations shall be conclusively deemed to be the amount of the Obligations guaranteed under this Section 11, notwithstanding that any present or future law or court decision may have the effect of reducing the amount of any deficiency claim to which Administrative Agent, LC Issuer or any Lender might otherwise be entitled but for such bidding at any such sale.

Section 11.3. Extent of Liability; Contribution.

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Loan Party's liability under this Section 11 shall be limited to the greater of (A) all amounts for which such Loan Party is primarily liable, as described below and (B) such Loan Party's Allocable Amount.

(b) If any Loan Party makes a payment under this Section 11 of any Obligations (other than amounts for which such Loan Party is primarily liable) (a "Guarantor Payment") that, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments previously or concurrently made by any other Loan Party, exceeds the amount that such Loan Party would otherwise have paid if each Loan Party had paid the aggregate Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payments in the same proportion that such Loan Party's Allocable Amount bore to the total Allocable Amounts of all Loan Parties, then such Loan Party shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and to be reimbursed by, each other Loan Party for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately before such Guarantor Payment. The "Allocable Amount" for any Loan Party shall be the maximum amount that could then be recovered from such Loan Party under this Section 11 without rendering such payment voidable under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state fraudulent transfer or conveyance act, or similar statute or common law.

(c) Nothing contained in this Section 11 shall limit the liability of any Loan Party to pay Loans made directly or indirectly to that such Loan Party (including Loans advanced to any other Loan Party and then remade or otherwise transferred to, or for the benefit of, such Loan Party), LC Obligations relating to Letters of Credit issued to support such Loan Party's business, and all accrued interest, fees, expenses, and other related Obligations with respect thereto, for which such Loan Party shall be primarily liable for all purposes hereunder.

- 86 -

Section 11.4. Joint Enterprise. Each Loan Party has requested that Administrative Agent, LC Issuer and Lenders make this credit facility available to Borrowers on a combined basis, to finance Borrowers' business most efficiently and economically. Loan Parties' business is a mutual and collective enterprise, and Loan Parties believe that consolidation of their credit facilities will enhance the borrowing power of each Borrower and ease the administration of their relationship with credit providers (including Administrative Agent, LC Issuer and Lenders), all to the mutual advantage of Borrowers. Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that Administrative Agent, LC Issuer and Lenders' willingness to extend credit to Borrowers and to administer the Collateral on a combined basis, as set forth herein, is done solely as an accommodation to Loan Parties and at Loan Parties' request.

Section 11.5. Subordination. Each Loan Party hereby subordinates any claims, including any rights at law or in equity, to payment, subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, or set off, that it may have at any time against any other Loan Party, howsoever arising, to Payment in Full of all Obligations.

Section 11.6. Keepwell. Loan Parties hereby agree to cause each Qualified ECP Guarantor to jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertake to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each Specified Loan Party to honor all of such Specified Loan Party's obligations under its guaranty and the Security Documents in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under its undertaking pursuant to this Section 11 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering such Qualified ECP Guarantor's obligations and undertakings under its guaranty, voidable under the Bankruptcy Code and other applicable debtor relief laws, and not for any greater amount). The obligations and undertakings of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 11 shall remain in full force and effect until Payment in Full of the Obligations. Each Loan Party, for itself and on behalf of each Qualified ECP Guarantor, intends that this Section 11 (and any corresponding provision of any applicable guaranty) constitute, and this Section 11 (and any corresponding provision of any applicable guaranty) shall be deemed to constitute, a "keepwell, support, or other agreement" for the benefit of each Specified Loan Party for all purposes of section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

Article 12

GUARANTEE

Section 12.1. Guaranty. Each Guarantor unconditionally guarantees, jointly with the other Guarantors and severally, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the due and punctual payment of the Obligations. Each Guarantor agrees that the Obligations may be extended or renewed without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will, until Payment in Full of the Obligations, remain bound upon this guaranty notwithstanding any extension or renewal of the Obligations.

Section 12.2. Obligations Not Waived. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Guarantor waives presentment, demand of payment from and protest to any Borrower of any of the Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of this guaranty and notice of protest for nonpayment. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by: (a) the failure of Administrative Agent or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce or exercise any right or remedy against any Borrower or any other Guarantor under the provisions of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, (b) any waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release of any other Guarantor from any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or (c) the failure to take, perfect any security interest in, or the release of security (if any) held by Administrative Agent or any Lender.

- 87 -

Section 12.3. Guarantee of Payment. Each Guarantor agrees that its guaranty constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection, and waives any right to require that prior resort be made by Administrative Agent or any Lender to any Borrower, to any security held for payment of the Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of Administrative Agent or any Lender.

Section 12.4. No Discharge or Diminishment of Guaranty. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination (other than the payment of the Obligations), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the Obligations, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or otherwise affected by the failure of Administrative Agent or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or by any waiver or modification of any provision thereof.

Section 12.5. Defenses of Borrowers Waived. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Guarantor waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Borrower other than payment of the Obligations. Administrative Agent and Lenders may, at their election, foreclose or realize upon any security held by one or more of them by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the Obligations, make any other accommodation with any Borrower or any other Guarantor, without impairing the liability of any Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have been paid.

Section 12.6. Subordination. Upon payment by any Guarantor of any sums hereunder, all rights of such Guarantor against any Borrower arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, indemnity or otherwise shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior payment of the Obligations. In addition, any indebtedness of any Borrower to any Guarantor is subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment of the Obligations, provided however, nothing herein shall prohibit the payment of any such indebtedness by any Borrower to any Guarantor, prior to the existence of an Event of Default. If any amount shall erroneously be paid to any Guarantor on account of (i) such subrogation, contribution, indemnity or similar right or (ii) any such indebtedness of any Borrower, then such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of Administrative Agent and Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to Administrative Agent and credited towards the payment of the Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents.

Section 12.7. Information. Each Guarantor, assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of Borrowers' financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes hereunder, and agrees that Administrative Agent or Lenders will have no duty to advise Guarantors of information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks.

FORM OF REVOLVING NOTE

U.S. [$________]

___________, 20__

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned (collectively, "Borrowers" and individually, a "Borrower"), hereby unconditionally and jointly and severally promise to pay to the order of __________________________ (herein, together with any subsequent holder hereof, called the "Holder") the principal sum of [____________________________________ ($________)] or if less, the outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement (as defined below)) made by Holder pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement on the date on which such outstanding principal amount becomes due and payable pursuant to the Credit Agreement, in strict accordance with the terms thereof. Borrowers likewise unconditionally and jointly and severally agree to pay to Holder interest from and after the date hereof on the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans evidenced hereby at such interest rates, payable at such times, and computed in such manner as are specified in the Credit Agreement, in strict accordance with the terms thereof.

This Revolving Note (this "Note") is issued pursuant to, and is one of the "Revolving Notes" referred to in, the Credit Agreement dated April 9, 2015 (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Credit Agreement"), among Borrowers, and the other "Loan Parties" party thereto from time to time, Regions Bank, an Alabama banking corporation, in its capacity as administrative and collateral agent (together with its successors and assigns in such capacity, "Administrative Agent"), the financial institutions party thereto from time to time in their capacities as lenders (collectively, the "Lenders"), and the other parties thereto from time to time, and Holder is and shall be entitled to all benefits thereof and of all Loan Documents executed and delivered in connection therewith. This Note is subject to certain restrictions on transfer or assignment as provided in the Credit Agreement. All capitalized terms used herein, unless otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

The repayment of the principal balance of this Note is subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement. The entire unpaid principal balance and all accrued interest on this Note shall be due and payable immediately upon the termination of the Commitments as set forth in the Credit Agreement.

All payments of principal and interest shall be made in Dollars in immediately available funds as specified in the Credit Agreement.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the principal balance and all accrued interest of this Note may be declared (or shall become) due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Credit Agreement, and the unpaid principal balance hereof shall bear Default Interest as and when provided in the Credit Agreement. If this Note is collected by or through an attorney at law, then Borrowers shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay, in addition the principal balance and accrued interest hereof, reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys' fees, expenses and court costs.

All principal amounts of Revolving Loans made by Holder to each Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall be deemed outstanding under this Note and shall continue to be owing by Borrowers until paid in accordance with the terms of this Note and the Credit Agreement.

In no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of advancement of the proceeds hereof or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Holder for the use, forbearance or detention of money advanced hereunder exceed the highest lawful rate permissible under any law which a court of competent jurisdiction may deem applicable hereto; and, in the event of any such payment inadvertently paid by any Borrower or inadvertently received by Holder, such excess sum shall be, at Borrowers' option, returned to Borrowers forthwith or credited as a payment of principal, but shall not be applied to the payment of interest. It is the intent hereof that Borrowers not pay or contract to pay, and that Holder not receive or contract to receive, directly or indirectly in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be paid by any Borrower under Applicable Law.

Time is of the essence of this Note. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Borrower, for itself and its legal representatives, successors and assigns, expressly waives presentment, demand, protest, notice of dishonor, notice of non-payment, notice of maturity, notice of protest, presentment for the purpose of accelerating maturity, diligence in collection, and the benefit of any exemption or insolvency laws.

Wherever possible each provision of this Note shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under Applicable Law, but if any provision of this Note shall be prohibited or invalid under Applicable Law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or remaining provisions of this Note. No delay or failure on the part of Holder in the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor as an acquiescence in any default, nor shall any single or partial exercise by Holder of any right or remedy preclude any other right or remedy. Holder, at its option, may enforce its rights against any Collateral securing this Note without Administrative Agent or Holder enforcing its rights against any Borrower, any Guarantor of the indebtedness evidenced hereby or any other property or indebtedness due or to become due to any Borrower. Each Borrower agrees that, without releasing or impairing such Borrower's liability hereunder, Holder or Administrative Agent may at any time release, surrender, substitute or exchange any Collateral securing this Note and may at any time release any party primarily or secondarily liable for the indebtedness evidenced by this Note.

The rights of Holder and obligations of each Borrower hereunder shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws (without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof) of the State of Georgia.

FORM OF SWINGLINE NOTE

U.S. $_______________

__________ __, 20__

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned (collectively "Borrowers" and each individually a "Borrower") hereby unconditionally and jointly and severally promise to pay to the order of ______________________ (herein, together with any subsequent holder hereof, called the "Holder") the principal sum of ___________________________ ($____________) or if less, the outstanding principal amount of the Swingline Loan (as defined in the Credit Agreement (as defined below)) made by Holder pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement on the date on which such outstanding principal amount becomes due and payable pursuant to the Credit Agreement, in strict accordance with the terms thereof. Borrowers likewise unconditionally and jointly and severally agree to pay to Holder interest from and after the date hereof on the unpaid principal balance hereof at such interest rates, payable at such times and computed in such manner as are specified in the Credit Agreement, in strict accordance with the terms thereof.

This Swingline Note (this "Note") is issued pursuant to, and is the "Swingline Note" referred to in, the Credit Agreement dated April 9, 2015 (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Credit Agreement"), among Borrowers, and the other "Loan Parties" party thereto from time to time, the financial institutions from time to time party thereto (each, a "Lender" and, collectively, "Lenders"), Regions Bank, an Alabama bank ("Regions"), in its capacity as Swingline Lender and LC Issuer (as each capacity is defined in the Credit Agreement) and as a Lender, and Regions, in its capacity as collateral and administrative agent for the Lenders, Swingline Lender, LC Issuer and other Secured Parties (in such capacity, "Administrative Agent"), and the other parties thereto from time to time, and Holder is and shall be entitled to all benefits thereof and of all Loan Documents executed and delivered in connection therewith. This Note is subject to certain restrictions on transfer or assignment as provided in the Credit Agreement. All capitalized terms used herein, unless otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

This Note is subject to mandatory prepayment in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement. The entire unpaid principal balance of and accrued interest on this Note shall be due and payable immediately upon the termination of the Commitments as set forth in the Credit Agreement.

All payments of principal and interest shall be made in Dollars in immediately available funds as specified in the Credit Agreement.

No delay or failure on the part of Holder in the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor as an acquiescence in any default, nor shall any single or partial exercise by Holder of any right or remedy preclude any other right or remedy. Holder, at its option, may enforce its rights against any Collateral securing this Note without enforcing its rights against any Borrower, any Guarantor of the indebtedness evidenced hereby or any other property or indebtedness due or to become due to any Borrower. Each Borrower agrees that, without releasing or impairing such Borrower's liability hereunder, Holder may at any time release, surrender, substitute or exchange any Collateral securing this Note and may at any time release any party primarily or secondarily liable for the indebtedness evidenced by this Note.

(a) first, to all costs and expenses, including Extraordinary Expenses, owing to Administrative Agent in its capacity as Administrative Agent;

- 8 -

(b) second, to all costs and expenses reimbursable by Borrowers owing to LC Issuer and Lenders;

(d) fourth, to all amounts owing to LC Issuer with respect to that portion of the LC Obligations which constitutes unreimbursed draws under Letters of Credit;

(e) fifth, to all Obligations constituting fees to the extent not already paid above (other than amounts which constitute Secured Bank Product Obligations);

(f) sixth, to all Obligations constituting interest to the extent not already paid above (other than amounts which constitute Secured Bank Product Obligations);

(g) seventh, to the Cash Collateralization that portion of the LC Obligations constituting undrawn amounts under outstanding Letters of Credit;

(h) eighth, to (A) all Loans and (B) Secured Bank Product Obligations, if and to the extent that the provider thereof has delivered written notice to Administrative Agent, in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days following the later of the Closing Date or creation of the Bank Product (i) describing the Bank Product and setting forth the maximum amount to be secured by the Collateral and the methodology to be used in calculating such amount and (ii) agreeing to be bound by Section 9.12 of the Credit Agreement (including Cash Collateralization thereof), up to the amount of Reserves (as defined in the Addendum) then imposed by Administrative Agent relative thereto;

(i) ninth, to all other Secured Bank Product Obligations described in clause (viii) above, to the extent not already paid above; and

(j) last, to all other Obligations, including any Secured Bank Product Obligations not described in, and paid pursuant to, clause (h) or (i) above.

Amounts shall be applied to each of the foregoing categories of Obligations in the order presented above before being applied to the following category. Where applicable, all amounts to be applied to a given category will be applied on a pro rata basis among those entitled to payment in such category. In determining the amount to be applied to Secured Bank Product Obligations within any given category, each Secured Bank Product Provider's pro rata share thereof shall be based on the lesser of (x) the amount presented in the most recent notice from such Secured Bank Product Provider to Administrative Agent and (y) the actual amount of such Secured Bank Product Obligations, calculated in accordance with a methodology presented to and approved by Administrative Agent by such Secured Bank Product Provider to Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent has no duty to investigate the actual amount of any Secured Bank Product Obligations and, instead, is entitled to rely in all respects on the applicable Secured Bank Product Provider's reasonably detailed written accounting thereof. If such Secured Bank Product Provider does not submit such accounting of its own accord and in a timely manner, Administrative Agent, may instead rely on any prior accounting thereof. No notice to include obligations under any Bank Product in the Obligations or notice to increase the maximum dollar amount of any Secured Bank Product Obligations shall be effective if received by Administrative Agent during the existence of an Event of Default (until such Event of Default is waived in accordance with the terms of this Agreement). The allocations set forth in this Section 13 are solely to determine the rights and priorities of the Secured Parties among themselves and may be changed by agreement among them without the consent of any Loan Party. No Loan Party is entitled to any benefit under this Section 13 or has any standing to enforce this Section 13. Excluded Swap Obligations with respect to any Loan Party shall not be paid with amounts received from such Loan Party or such Loan Party's assets, but appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to payments from other Loan Parties to preserve the allocation to Obligations otherwise set forth above in this Section 13. Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any application of amounts made by it in good faith and, if any such application is subsequently determined to have been made in error, the sole recourse of any Lender or other Person to which such amount ought to have been made shall be to recover the amount from the Person which actually received it (and, if such amount was received by any Secured Party, then such Secured Party, by accepting the benefits of this Agreement, agrees to return it).

(i) declare any Obligations immediately due and payable (other than Obligations under any Hedging Agreements between a Loan Party and Administrative Agent or any Lender (or any of their respective Affiliates), all of which shall be due in accordance with and governed by the provisions of such Hedging Agreements), whereupon they shall be due and payable without diligence, presentment, demand, protest, or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by Loan Parties to the fullest extent permitted by law;

(ii) (A) refuse to make Loans, issue Letters of Credit, or make other extensions of credit to Borrowers; (B) terminate, reduce, or condition any Commitment; and (C) require Loan Parties to Cash Collateralize LC Obligations, Secured Bank Product Obligations, and other Obligations that are contingent or not yet due and payable (and, if Loan Parties do not, for whatever reason, promptly provide such Cash Collateral, Administrative Agent may provide such Cash Collateral with the proceeds of a Revolving Loan and each Lender shall fund its Pro Rata Share thereof regardless of whether an Overadvance exists or would result therefrom or any condition precedent to the making of any Loan has not been satisfied);

(iii) (A) take possession of any Collateral; (B) require Loan Parties to assemble Collateral, at Loan Parties' expense, and make it available to Administrative Agent at a time and place designated by Administrative Agent; (C) enter any premises where Collateral is located and store Collateral on such premises until sold (and if the premises are owned or leased by a Loan Party, such Loan Party shall not charge for such storage); (D) sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of any Collateral in its then condition or after the refurbishing, restoration, repair, or further manufacturing or processing thereof, at public or private sale, with such notice as may be required by Applicable Law, in lots or in bulk, at such locations, all as Administrative Agent, in its discretion, deems advisable and at such prices or terms as Administrative Agent may deem reasonable, for cash, upon credit, or for future delivery; (E) demand, collect, invoice, and xxx for all amounts owed pursuant to Accounts, General Intangibles, Chattel Paper, Instruments, or Documents or for proceeds of any Collateral (either in a Loan Party's name or Administrative Agent's or any Lender's name, at Administrative Agent's option), with the right to enforce, compromise, settle, or discharge any such amounts; and (F) require or cause all invoices and statements sent to any Account Debtor to state that the Accounts and such other obligations have been assigned to Administrative Agent and are payable directly and only to Administrative Agent and Loan Parties shall deliver to Administrative Agent such originals of documents evidencing the sale and delivery of Goods or the performance of services giving rise to any Accounts as Administrative Agent may require; and

- 10 -

(iv) exercise such other rights and remedies which may be available to it under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and agreements relating to Bank Products, or Applicable Law (including the rights of a secured party under the UCC), all of which shall be cumulative.

(b) Administrative Agent shall not be liable or responsible in any way for the safekeeping of any Collateral, for any loss or damage thereto (except for reasonable care in its custody while Collateral is in Administrative Agent's actual possession), for any diminution in the value thereof, or for any act or default of any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency, or other Person whatsoever, but the same shall be at Loan Parties' sole risk.

Section 15. Commercially Reasonable. Each Loan Party agrees that notice of any proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral by Administrative Agent shall be reasonable if such notice is delivered as provided in Section 10.1 of the Credit Agreement at least ten (10) Business Days before the action to be taken, and Loan Parties waive any other notice. Administrative Agent shall have the right to conduct such sales on any Loan Party's premises, without charge, and such sales may be adjourned from time to time in accordance with Applicable Law. Administrative Agent may purchase any Collateral at public or, if permitted by Applicable Law, private sale and, in lieu of actual payment of the purchase price, may set off the amount of such price against the Obligations. Each Loan Party shall be liable for any deficiencies, which shall bear Default Interest (including interest arising after commencement any Loan Party's Insolvency Proceeding, whether or not such interest is allowed in such Insolvency Proceeding) and all costs and expenses of collection and enforcement, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, if the proceeds of the disposition of the Collateral do not result in Payment in Full. To the extent that Applicable Law imposes duties on Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner (which duties cannot be waived under Applicable Law), each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, as applicable, (a) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by Applicable Law, to fail to obtain consents of any Governmental Authority or other third party for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of; (b) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors, secondary obligors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against, Collateral; (c) to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists; (d) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature; (e) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as any Loan Party, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral; (f) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature; (g) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so or that match buyers and sellers of assets; (h) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets; (i) to disclaim disposition warranties; (j) to purchase, at Loan Parties' expense, insurance or credit enhancements to insure Administrative Agent and any other Secured Party against risks of loss, collection, or disposition of Collateral or to provide to Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral; or (k) to the extent deemed appropriate by Administrative Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants, and other professionals to assist Administrative Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Loan Party acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 15 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party would not be commercially unreasonable in the exercise by Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 15. Without limitation of the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 15 shall be construed to grant any rights to any Loan Party or to impose any duties on Administrative Agent or the other Secured Party that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any agreement related to Bank Products, or by Applicable Law in the absence of this Section 15.

- 11 -

Section 16. Protective Advances. From time to time, Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, make one or more Base Rate Revolving Loans to preserve, protect, or defend any Collateral or to increase or improve the likelihood of collecting or obtaining repayment of any Obligations (in each case, if Administrative Agent determines that doing so is necessary or desirable) (a "Protective Advance"). Administrative Agent may make a Protective Advance without regard to Excess Availability or the satisfaction of any condition precedent to the making of Loans, unless (A) the Required Lenders have, in writing, revoked Administrative Agent's authority to do so or (B) Administrative Agent would have actual knowledge that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Loans made as Protective Advances (i) would exceed $15,000,000 or (ii) would cause the amount of the Revolving Credit Exposure outstanding to exceed the aggregate of the Revolving Commitments at such time or any individual Lender's Revolving Commitment. If the terms of the foregoing clauses (A) and (B) are not applicable, Administrative Agent's determination that funding of a Protective Advance is appropriate shall be conclusive. Each Lender shall participate based on its Pro Rata Share in each Protective Advance. The provisions of this Section 16 are solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent and Lenders, and none of the Loan Parties may rely on this Section 16 or have any standing to enforce its terms.

Section 17. Credit Bidding. Each Lender agrees that, except as otherwise provided in any Loan Documents or with the written consent of Administrative Agent and Required Lenders, it will not take any Enforcement Action, accelerate Obligations under any Loan Documents, or exercise any right that it might otherwise have under Applicable Law to credit bid at foreclosure sales, UCC sales, or other similar dispositions of Collateral. This Section 17 does not confer any rights or benefits upon Loan Parties or any other Person, and no Loan Party shall have any standing to enforce this Section 17.

Section 18. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be valid under Applicable Law. To the extent any such provision is found to be invalid or unenforceable under Applicable Law in a given jurisdiction, then (a) such provision shall be ineffective only to such extent; (b) the remainder of such provision and the other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction; and (c) such provision shall remain in full force and effect in any other jurisdiction.

Section 19. Cumulative Effect; Conflict of Terms. The parties acknowledge that different provisions of this Agreement may contain requirements, limitations, restrictions, or permissions relating to the same subject matter and, in such case, all of such provisions shall be deemed to be cumulative (rather than instead of one another) and must be satisfied or performed, as applicable. Except as otherwise provided in another Loan Document (by specific reference to the applicable provision of this Agreement), to the extent any provision contained in this Agreement conflicts directly with any provision in another Loan Document, then the provision in this Agreement shall control.

- 12 -

Section 20. Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, or consents relating hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

Section 21. Fax or Other Transmission. Delivery by one or more parties hereto of an executed counterpart of this Agreement via facsimile, telecopy or other electronic method of transmission pursuant to which the signature of such party can be seen (including Adobe Corporation's Portable Document Format or PDF) shall have the same force and effect as the delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic method of transmission shall also deliver an original executed counterpart, but the failure to do so shall not affect the validity, enforceability, or binding effect of this Agreement.

Section 22. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT, UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED BY THE TERMS HEREOF OR UNLESS THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION MAY, BY REASON OF MANDATORY PROVISIONS OF LAW, GOVERN THE PERFECTION, PRIORITY, OR ENFORCEMENT OF SECURITY INTERESTS IN THE COLLATERAL, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES OR OTHER RULE OF LAW WHICH WOULD CAUSE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE LAW OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA (BUT GIVING EFFECT TO FEDERAL LAWS RELATING TO NATIONAL BANKS).

Section 23. Submission to Jurisdiction. EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA AND THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF GEORGIA, IN RESPECT OF ANY PROCEEDING, DISPUTE, OR LITIGATION BASED ON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN), OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY WITH RESPECT HERETO AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH PROCEEDING, DISPUTE, OR LITIGATION MAY BE BROUGHT BY IT IN SUCH COURTS. WITH RESPECT TO SUCH COURTS, EACH LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL CLAIMS, OBJECTIONS, AND DEFENSES IT MAY HAVE REGARDING PERSONAL OR SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION, VENUE, OR INCONVENIENT FORUM. EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF PROCESS OF ANY AND ALL PROCESS SERVED UPON IT AND IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN THE CREDIT AGREEMENT, SUCH SERVICE TO BE EFFECTIVE AT THE TIME SUCH NOTICE WOULD BE DEEMED DELIVERED PURSUANT TO THE CREDIT AGREEMENT. Nothing herein shall limit the right of Administrative Agent or any Lender to bring proceedings against any Loan Party in any other court, nor limit the right of any party to serve process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to preclude enforcement by Administrative Agent of any judgment or order obtained in any forum or jurisdiction.

Section 24. Waivers; Limitation on Damages; Limitation on Liability.

(a) Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH LOAN PARTY, BY EXECUTION HEREOF, KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED ON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN), OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY WITH RESPECT HERETO OR THERETO. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, LC ISSUER, AND THE LENDERS TO ENTER INTO AND ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT.

- 13 -

(b) Waiver of Certain Damages. NO PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO ANY OTHER PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY SUCCESSOR OR ASSIGNEE OF SUCH PERSON, OR ANY THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY, OR ANY OTHER PERSON ASSERTING CLAIMS DERIVATIVELY THROUGH ANY SUCH PARTY, FOR INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES AS A RESULT OF ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT.

(c) Acknowledgement of Waivers. Each Loan Party has reviewed the foregoing waivers with its legal counsel and has knowingly and voluntarily waived its jury trial and other rights following consultation with legal counsel. In the event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a written consent to a trial by the court.

Section 25. Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement and the other the Loan Documents.

ADDENDUM TO CREDIT AGREEMENT

THIS ADDENDUM TO CREDIT AGREEMENT (this "Addendum") is dated as of April 9, 2015, by and among (A) FRED'S, INC., a Tennessee corporation ("Parent"); (B) the Subsidiaries of Parent identified on the signature pages hereto and any other Subsidiaries of Parent which may become Borrowers under the Credit Agreement (as defined below) from time to time (together with Parent, each, a "Borrower" and, collectively, "Borrowers"); (C) the Subsidiaries of Parent identified on the signature pages hereto and any other Subsidiaries of Parent which may become Guarantors under the Credit Agreement (as defined below) from time to time (each, a "Guarantor" and, collectively, "Guarantors"); (D) the financial institutions from time to time party hereto (each, a "Lender" and, collectively, "Lenders"); (E) REGIONS BANK, an Alabama bank (as further defined below, "Regions"), in its capacity as the Swingline Lender (as defined below) and LC Issuer (as defined below); and (F) Regions, in its capacity as administrative agent and collateral agent for the Lenders, LC Issuer and other Secured Parties (in such capacity and as further defined below, "Administrative Agent" or "Agent").

RECITALS:

Borrowers have requested that Administrative Agent and Lenders establish a revolving credit facility and that LC Issuer establish a letter of credit sub-facility pursuant to that certain Credit Agreement dated on or about the date hereof (as at any time amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the "Credit Agreement").

Administrative Agent, Lenders and LC Issuer are unwilling to provide such credit facility and letter of credit sub-facility unless, among other things, Borrowers and the other Loan Parties party hereto enter into this Addendum.

To induce Administrative Agent, Lenders and LC Issuer to provide such credit facility and letter of credit sub-facility, Borrowers and the other Loan Parties desire to enter into this Addendum.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby mutually acknowledged, each Loan Party, Administrative Agent, each Lender and LC Issuer, each intending to be legally bound, hereby covenant and agree as follows:

Section 1. Application of Addendum. The Credit Agreement shall be interpreted without reference to this Addendum until such time as a Borrowing Base Trigger Event has occurred, after which time this Addendum shall be deemed incorporated into the Credit Agreement and all terms contained herein shall become applicable.

Section 2. Definitions. Capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement. As used in this Addendum, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

"Account Control Event" means (a) the occurrence of an Event of Default or (b) at any time of determination, that Excess Availability is less than the greater of (i) twelve and one-half percent (12.5%) of the Commitments and (ii) $19,000,000.

"Account Control Period" means the period beginning on the occurrence of an Account Control Event and ending on the first Business Day on which (a) no Event of Default has existed and (b) Excess Availability has been greater than the greater of (i) twelve and one-half percent (12.5%) of the Commitments and (ii) $19,000,000, in each case for the preceding sixty (60) days.

"Aggregate Revolving Obligations" means, at any time of determination, the sum (without duplication) of (a) the outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans plus (b) the outstanding amount of all LC Obligations.

"Applicable Margin" means, subject to the terms of this definition and at any time on or after the Borrowing Base Trigger Event, with respect to any Type of Loan and at any time of determination, the percentage rate per annum set forth in the following table, as determined by reference to Average Excess Availability for the calendar quarter preceding each Determination Date (as defined below), as further described below:

		Revolving Loans
Level	Average Excess Availability	Base Rate			LIR			LIBOR
I	Greater than $100,000,000		0.25	%		1.25	%		1.25	%
II	Greater than or equal to $50,000,000 but less than or equal to $100,000,000		0.50	%		1.50	%		1.50	%
III	Less than $50,000,000		0.75	%		1.75	%		1.75	%

The Applicable Margin shall be subject to reduction or increase, as applicable and as set forth in the table above, on a quarterly basis on each Determination Date, and any such reduction or increase shall be automatic and without notice to any Person. Without limiting Administrative Agent's or Required Lenders' rights to charge Default Interest, if (a) the Borrowing Base Certificate and related reports setting forth the Borrowing Base and the basis therefor are not received by Administrative Agent on or before the applicable dates required pursuant to Section 7 of this Addendum, as applicable, or (b) an Event of Default (whether resulting from a failure to timely deliver such Borrowing Base Certificate and related reports or otherwise) occurs and, in either case, Administrative Agent or Required Lenders so elect, then, in each case, from the date such Borrowing Base Certificate or related reports were required to be delivered or the date such Event of Default occurred, as applicable, the Applicable Margin shall, at the option of Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, be at the Level with the highest rates of interest until such time as such Borrowing Base Certificate and related reports are received by Administrative Agent and any such Event of Default is waived in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement; provided, that, if the Applicable Margin is increased due to Loan Parties' failure to deliver such Borrowing Base Certificate and related reports setting forth the Borrowing Base and the basis therefor to Administrative Agent on or before the applicable date required pursuant to Section 7 of this Addendum, such Applicable Margin shall be reduced to the level otherwise applicable hereunder if Loan Parties deliver such Borrowing Base Certificate and related reports setting forth the Borrowing Base and the basis therefor on or before the date that is fifteen (15) days after the applicable date required pursuant to Section 7 of this Addendum as of the date immediately following such delivery.

Any of the foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, after the occurrence of the Borrowing Base Trigger Event to, but not including, the first Determination Date, the Applicable Margin shall be equal to the rates set forth in Level II. As used herein, "Determination Date" means the first day of Parent's Fiscal Quarters beginning on or about the first day of each February, May, August and November.

- 2 -

If any Borrowing Base Certificate or any other report on which Excess Availability or Average Excess Availability is determined or reported to Administrative Agent is shown to be inaccurate (regardless of whether the Credit Agreement or any Commitments are or remain in effect when such inaccuracy is discovered), and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application of a higher Applicable Margin for any period (an "Applicable Period") than the Applicable Margin actually applied for such Applicable Period, then (A) Borrowers shall immediately deliver to Administrative Agent a correct Borrowing Base Certificate or related report for the Applicable Period; (B) the Applicable Margin for such Applicable Period shall be determined by reference to such Borrowing Base Certificate or related report; and (C) Borrowers shall promptly pay Administrative Agent, ON DEMAND, the accrued additional interest owing as a result of such increased Applicable Margin for such Applicable Period and any other additional fee or charge which was based, in whole or in part, on the Applicable Margin, which payment shall be promptly applied by Administrative Agent for its own account and the account of Lenders and LC Issuer, as applicable, in accordance with the terms hereof. If any inaccurate Borrowing Base Certificate or other report on which Excess Availability or Average Excess Availability is determined would, if corrected, have led to the application of a lower Applicable Margin for any period for which interest has already been paid, none of the Secured Parties shall be required to refund or return any portion of such interest.

"Average Excess Availability" means, for any period, Excess Availability for each day of such period, divided by the number of days in such period.

"Bank Product Reserve" means an amount determined from time to time by Administrative Agent in its discretion as a reserve for Secured Bank Product Obligations then provided to or outstanding with respect to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries.

(a) ninety percent (90%) of the total amount of Eligible Credit Card Receivables; plus

(b) ninety percent (90%) of the total amount of Eligible Pharmacy Receivables; plus

(d) Pharmacy Scripts Availability; minus

(e) Reserves.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the Borrowing Base Trigger Event has occurred and subject to the satisfaction of the Specified Requirement (as defined below), the "Borrowing Base" shall be deemed to be equal to fifty-five percent (55%) of the book value of each Borrower's Inventory beginning on the date that the Borrowing Base Trigger Event occurs and ending on the later of: (i) the date that is 60 days after the date that the Borrowing Base Trigger Event occurs or (ii) the date on which both (x) a field examination of Borrowers' books and records or any other financial or Collateral matters as Administrative Agent deems appropriate (and received the results thereof) has been completed to the satisfaction of Administrative Agent and (y) a Qualified Appraisal of Inventory and Pharmacy Scripts has been completed to the satisfaction of Administrative Agent. For purposes hereof, the "Specified Requirement" shall mean within 30 days after the date that the Borrowing Base Trigger Event occurs, the delivery by Borrowers to Administrative Agent of all information necessary to complete the field examination and Qualified Appraisal referenced above and the providing of access by Borrowers to Administrative Agent and its agents, including field examiners and appraisers, to Borrowers' Collateral and physical locations .

(c) To the extent requested by Administrative Agent from time to time, take all actions requested by Administrative Agent to establish Administrative Agent's Control over any of Borrowers' Deposit Accounts;

Section 10. Financial Covenant. Upon occurrence of the Borrowing Base Trigger Event, until Payment in Full of the Obligations, and if at any time Availability is less than the Financial Covenant Threshold Amount, Borrowers shall, commencing with the most recent Fiscal Quarter for which financial statements have been provided in accordance with Section 5.1 of the Credit Agreement, as applicable, and as of each subsequent Fiscal Quarter ending thereafter, maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the four Fiscal Quarters then ending equal or in excess of 1.00 to 1.00.

- 17 -

Section 11. Commitment Fees. On and after the Borrowing Base Trigger Event, Borrowers agree to pay to Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender on the first day of each calendar month ending after the occurrence of the Borrowing Base Trigger Event and on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, in arrears, a commitment fee in an amount equal to 0.25% per annum times the average amount by which the Revolving Commitments exceeded the Aggregate Revolving Obligations (other than Swingline Loans) on each day during the immediately preceding calendar month.

Section 12. Certain Agreements. No Loan Party will, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, (a) permit any Material Contract to be cancelled or terminated before its stated maturity or expiration date unless such Loan Party or Subsidiary, as applicable, procures a replacement contract acceptable to Administrative Agent in its Permitted Discretion; (b) amend, restate, supplement, or otherwise modify any Material Contract; (c) default in any material respect in the performance under any Material Contract; or (d) agree to or accept any waiver thereunder which would adversely affect the rights of any Secured Party; provided, that nothing in this Section 12 shall prohibit the repayment, prepayment, retirement, or extinguishment of any Indebtedness, to the extent the same is otherwise permitted under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 13. Borrowing Base Eligibility. After the occurrence of the Borrowing Base Trigger Event, in connection with any Acquisition (whether by purchase of Capital Stock, merger, or purchase of Property and whether in a single transaction or series transactions) by a Loan Party for which the aggregate amount of cash and non-cash consideration (including all cash and Indebtedness, including contingent obligations, incurred or assumed and the maximum amount of any earnout or similar payment in connection therewith (whether or not actually earned)) is equal to or in excess of $10,000,000, Administrative Agent shall have the right to determine in its Permitted Discretion which Property so acquired shall be included in the Borrowing Base (subject to the provisions of the definitions "Borrowing Base," "Eligible Credit Card Receivables," "Eligible Pharmacy Receivables," "Eligible Inventory" "and "Eligible Pharmacy Scripts" and any other provisions of this Addendum and the other Loan Documents applicable to the computation and reporting of the Borrowing Base). In connection with such determination, Administrative Agent may obtain, at Loan Parties' expense, such appraisals, field exams and other assessments of such assets as it may deem desirable and all such appraisals, exams and other assessments shall be paid for by Loan Parties; provided, that in no event shall the purchased Property be included in the Borrowing Base until Administrative Agent has completed applicable appraisals, exams and other assessments in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent with respect to such Property. For the avoidance of doubt, such appraisals, field exams and other assessments shall be in addition to the appraisals, field exams and other assessments at Loan Parties' expense as set forth in Section 6. After the occurrence of the Borrowing Base Trigger Event, in connection with any Acquisition (whether by purchase of Capital Stock, merger, or purchase of Property and whether in a single transaction or series transactions) by a Loan Party for which the aggregate amount of cash and non-cash consideration (including all cash and Indebtedness, including contingent obligations, incurred or assumed and the maximum amount of any earnout or similar payment in connection therewith (whether or not actually earned)) is less than $10,000,000, all Property so acquired shall be included in the Borrowing Base, subject to the provisions of the definitions "Borrowing Base," "Eligible Credit Card Receivables," "Eligible Pharmacy Receivables," "Eligible Inventory" "and "Eligible Pharmacy Scripts" and any other provisions of this Addendum and the other Loan Documents applicable to the computation and reporting of the Borrowing Base.

- 18 -

Section 14. Amendments. Without the prior written consent of all Lenders (except a Defaulting Lender), no amendment or modification to this Addendum shall be effective that would increase the advance rates or amend the definition of "Borrowing Base" (or any defined term used in such definition) if the effect of such amendment is to increase borrowing availability. This Section 14 does not confer any rights or benefits upon Loan Parties or any other Person, and no Loan Party shall have any standing to enforce this Section 14.

Section 15. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Addendum shall be interpreted in such manner as to be valid under Applicable Law. To the extent any such provision is found to be invalid or unenforceable under Applicable Law in a given jurisdiction, then (a) such provision shall be ineffective only to such extent; (b) the remainder of such provision and the other provisions of this Addendum shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction; and (c) such provision shall remain in full force and effect in any other jurisdiction.

Section 16. Cumulative Effect; Conflict of Terms. The parties acknowledge that different provisions of this Addendum may contain requirements, limitations, restrictions, or permissions relating to the same subject matter and, in such case, all of such provisions shall be deemed to be cumulative (rather than instead of one another) and must be satisfied or performed, as applicable. Except as otherwise provided in another Loan Document (by specific reference to the applicable provision of this Addendum), to the extent any provision contained in this Addendum conflicts directly with any provision in another Loan Document, then the provision in this Addendum shall control.

Section 17. Counterparts. This Addendum and any amendments, waivers, or consents relating hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

Section 18. Fax or Other Transmission. Delivery by one or more parties hereto of an executed counterpart of this Addendum via facsimile, telecopy or other electronic method of transmission pursuant to which the signature of such party can be seen (including Adobe Corporation's Portable Document Format or PDF) shall have the same force and effect as the delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Addendum. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Addendum by facsimile or other electronic method of transmission shall also deliver an original executed counterpart, but the failure to do so shall not affect the validity, enforceability, or binding effect of this Addendum.

Section 19. Governing Law. THIS ADDENDUM, UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED BY THE TERMS HEREOF OR UNLESS THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION MAY, BY REASON OF MANDATORY PROVISIONS OF LAW, GOVERN THE PERFECTION, PRIORITY, OR ENFORCEMENT OF SECURITY INTERESTS IN THE COLLATERAL, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES OR OTHER RULE OF LAW WHICH WOULD CAUSE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE LAW OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA (BUT GIVING EFFECT TO FEDERAL LAWS RELATING TO NATIONAL BANKS).

- 19 -

Section 20. Submission to Jurisdiction. EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA AND THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF GEORGIA, IN RESPECT OF ANY PROCEEDING, DISPUTE, OR LITIGATION BASED ON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS ADDENDUM OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN), OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY WITH RESPECT HERETO AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH PROCEEDING, DISPUTE, OR LITIGATION MAY BE BROUGHT BY IT IN SUCH COURTS. WITH RESPECT TO SUCH COURTS, EACH LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL CLAIMS, OBJECTIONS, AND DEFENSES IT MAY HAVE REGARDING PERSONAL OR SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION, VENUE, OR INCONVENIENT FORUM. EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF PROCESS OF ANY AND ALL PROCESS SERVED UPON IT AND IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN THE CREDIT AGREEMENT, SUCH SERVICE TO BE EFFECTIVE AT THE TIME SUCH NOTICE WOULD BE DEEMED DELIVERED PURSUANT TO THE CREDIT AGREEMENT. Nothing herein shall limit the right of Administrative Agent or any Lender to bring proceedings against any Loan Party in any other court, nor limit the right of any party to serve process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law. Nothing in this Addendum shall be deemed to preclude enforcement by Administrative Agent of any judgment or order obtained in any forum or jurisdiction.

Section 21. Waivers; Limitation on Damages; Limitation on Liability.

(a) Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH LOAN PARTY, BY EXECUTION HEREOF, KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED ON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS ADDENDUM OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN), OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY WITH RESPECT HERETO OR THERETO. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, LC ISSUER, AND THE LENDERS TO ENTER INTO AND ACCEPT THIS ADDENDUM.

(b) Waiver of Certain Damages. NO PARTY TO THIS ADDENDUM SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO ANY OTHER PARTY TO THIS ADDENDUM OR ANY SUCCESSOR OR ASSIGNEE OF SUCH PERSON, OR ANY THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY, OR ANY OTHER PERSON ASSERTING CLAIMS DERIVATIVELY THROUGH ANY SUCH PARTY, FOR INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES AS A RESULT OF ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT.

(c) Acknowledgement of Waivers. Each Loan Party has reviewed the foregoing waivers with its legal counsel and has knowingly and voluntarily waived its jury trial and other rights following consultation with legal counsel. In the event of litigation, this Addendum may be filed as a written consent to a trial by the court.
