WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the Borrower, as borrower, the Administrative Agent, as administrative agent for the lenders, the lenders from time to time party thereto and the other agents and parties referred to therein entered into that certain Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of July 25, 2012, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of August 12, 2013 (as amended, supplemented and otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, the “Existing Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which the lenders party thereto made certain loans and other extensions of credit and provided certain commitments to the Borrower;

WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other agents and parties hereto desire to enter into this Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement in order to amend and restate the Existing Credit Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree that the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

ARTICLE I.

DEFINITIONS

Section 1.01 Defined Terms. As used in this Agreement, the following terms have the meanings specified below:

“ABR”, when used in reference to any Loan or Borrowing (including any Inventory Financing Sublimit Borrowing), refers to whether such Loan, or the Loans comprising such Borrowing, are bearing interest at a rate determined by reference to the Alternate Base Rate.

“Account” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of New York.

“Account Debtor” means any Person who is or who may become obligated under, with respect to or on account of an Account.

“Acquisition” means the direct or indirect purchase or acquisition, whether in one or more related transactions, by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary of (a) any Person or group of Persons (or all or substantially all of the Equity Interest in any Person or group of Persons) or (b) any related group of assets of any Person or group of Persons. “Acquire” has a meaning correlative thereto.

“Additional Commitment Lender” has the meaning assigned to such term in Section 2.21(d).

“Acquisition Consideration” means the purchase consideration for any Acquisition and all other payments by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary in exchange for, or as part of, or in connection with, any Acquisition, whether paid in cash or by the assumption of obligations or the exchange of Equity Interests or of properties or otherwise and whether payable at or prior to the consummation of such Acquisition or deferred for payment at any future time, whether or not any such future payment is subject to the occurrence of any contingency, and includes any and all payments representing the purchase price and any assumptions of Indebtedness (including any Indebtedness assumed or acquired pursuant to Section 6.01(g)), “earn-out” and other agreements to make any payment the amount of which is, or the terms of payment of which are, in any respect subject to or contingent upon the revenues, income, cash flow or profits (or the like) of any Person or business; provided that any such future payment that is subject to a contingency shall be considered Acquisition Consideration only to the extent of the reserve, if any, required under GAAP at the time of such sale to be established in respect thereof by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary.

“Additional Lender” has the meaning assigned to such term in Section 2.05(c).

“Additional Lender Certificate” has the meaning assigned to such term in Section 2.05(c)(ii)(E).

“Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA” means, for any period, Consolidated EBITDA determined on a Pro Forma Basis; provided that (a) cash distributions received by the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries from all Joint Ventures consummated after the Effective Date (other than an Exempted Joint Venture) shall not account for more than 25% of Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA (as such Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA is calculated from time to time without giving effect to cash distributions from Joint Ventures consummated after the Effective Date (other than an Exempted Joint Venture)), and any excess shall be deemed to not be Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA and (b) for any Material Project with a Commencement Date occurring on or prior to the date of determination, Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA may include, at the Borrower’s option, the Material Project EBITDA Adjustments for such Material Project for such period determined as specified below. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a “Cash Option Only Default” under and as defined in the NEJD Financing Lease Agreement, Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA shall be automatically reduced by an amount equal to the contributions to Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA attributable to NEJD SPE 2 for the applicable Test Period or Calculation Period.

As used herein, “Material Project EBITDA Adjustments” means, with respect to the construction or expansion of any capital project of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or with respect to the SEKCO Joint Venture or an Exempted Joint Venture, the aggregate capital cost of which (inclusive of capital costs expended prior to the acquisition, construction or expansion thereof) is reasonably expected by the Borrower to exceed, or exceeds, with respect to the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or with respect to the SEKCO Joint Venture or an Exempted Joint Venture, $10,000,000 (a “Material Project”):

(a) for each Test Period ending prior to the date on which a Material Project has achieved commercial operation (the “Commercial Operation Date”) (but including the Test Period ending with the fiscal quarter in which such Commercial Operation Date occurs), a percentage (based on the then-current completion percentage of such Material Project as of the date of determination) of an amount to be reasonably approved by a majority of the Arrangers (the “Projected Consolidated EBITDA”) as the projected Consolidated EBITDA attributable to such Material Project for the first full 12-month period following the Scheduled Commercial Operation Date of such Material Project (such amount to be determined based upon projected revenues from customer contracts, projected revenues from prospective customers that are reasonably determined by a majority of the Arrangers, in their reasonable discretion, to otherwise be reasonably likely on the basis of sound financial planning practice, the creditworthiness and applicable projected production of the prospective customers, capital and other costs, operating and administrative expenses, the Scheduled Commercial Operation Date, commodity price assumptions and other factors reasonably deemed appropriate by a majority of the Arrangers), which may, at the Borrower’s option, be added to actual Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA for the Test Period next preceding the fiscal quarter in which construction or expansion of such Material Project commences (the “Commencement Date”) and for each Test Period thereafter until the Commercial Operation Date of such Material Project (including the Test Period ending with the fiscal quarter in which such Commercial Operation Date occurs), but net of any actual Consolidated EBITDA attributable to such Material Project for such Test Period; provided that if the actual Commercial Operation Date does not occur by the Scheduled Commercial Operation Date, then the foregoing amount shall be reduced, for Test Periods ending after the Scheduled Commercial Operation Date to (but excluding) the Test Period ending with the fiscal quarter in which such Commercial Operation Date occurs, by the following percentage amounts depending on the period of delay (based on the period of actual delay or then-estimated delay (estimated on the date of determination), whichever is longer): (i) 90 days or less, 0%, (ii) longer than 90 days, but not more than 180 days, 25%, (iii) longer than 180 days but not more than 270 days, 50%, (iv) longer than 270 days but not more than 365 days, 75%, and (v) longer than 365 days, 100%; and

(b) beginning with the Test Period ending with the first full fiscal quarter following the Commercial Operation Date of a Material Project and for the Test Periods ending with the two immediately succeeding fiscal quarters, an amount equal to the greater of (i) three times the actual Consolidated EBITDA attributable to such Material Project for such first full fiscal quarter (if the first full fiscal quarter), 100% of the actual Consolidated EBITDA attributable to such Material Project for such first two fiscal quarters (if the second full fiscal quarter), or one-third of the actual Consolidated EBITDA for such first three fiscal quarters (if the third full fiscal quarter) or (ii) 75% (if the first full fiscal quarter), 50% (if the second full fiscal quarter) or 25% (if the third full fiscal quarter) of the Projected Consolidated EBITDA attributable to such Material Project for the first full Test Period following such Commercial Operation Date, which may, at the Borrower’s option, be added to actual Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA for such Test Periods.

Notwithstanding the foregoing:

(i) no such Material Project EBITDA Adjustment shall be allowed with respect to any Material Project unless:

(A) at least 30 days (or such lesser period as is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) prior to the last day of the Test Period for which the Borrower desires to commence inclusion of such Material Project EBITDA Adjustment in Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA with respect to a Material Project (the “Initial Test Period”), the Borrower shall have delivered to Administrative Agent notice of such Material Project and the Scheduled Commercial Operation Date with respect thereto, together with written pro forma projections of Consolidated EBITDA attributable to such Material Project for the first full Test Period following the Scheduled Commercial Operation Date with respect to such Material Project, and

(B) prior to the last day of the Initial Test Period, a majority of the Arrangers shall have approved (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) such projections and shall have received such other information and documentation as a majority of the Arrangers may reasonably request with respect to such Material Project, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to a majority of the Arrangers, and

(ii) the aggregate amount of all Material Project EBITDA Adjustments for any Test Period shall be limited to 15% of the total actual Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA for such Test Period (which total actual Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA shall be determined without including any Material Project EBITDA Adjustments); provided that such 15% limit shall automatically increase to 30% for the time period commencing with the Commencement Date for an Exempted Joint Venture and continuing through and until the third full fiscal quarter following the Commercial Operation Date for such Exempted Joint Venture, and for all periods thereafter such limit shall be 15%.

For purposes of the foregoing, “commercial operation” shall be deemed achieved for any Material Project at such time, at or after the completion of construction or expansion thereof and the initial placement thereof into service, as such Material Project first realizes the long-term operating levels reasonably expected for such Material Project.

“Adjusted LIBOR Rate” means, with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing for any Interest Period, an interest rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next 1/100th of 1%) equal to (a) the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period multiplied by (b) the Statutory Reserve Rate.

“Administrative Agent” has the meaning assigned to such term in the introductory paragraph hereto.

“Administrative Questionnaire” means an Administrative Questionnaire in a form supplied by the Administrative Agent.

“Affiliate” means, with respect to a specified Person, another Person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, Controls or is Controlled by or is under common Control with the Person specified; provided, however, that, for purposes of Section 6.09, the term “Affiliate” shall also include (a) any Person that directly or indirectly owns or is Controlled

by a Person that directly or indirectly owns more than 25% of the Equity Interests of a Borrower Party that have the ordinary voting power to elect the directors thereof or (b) any Person that is an executive officer or director of any Person specified in clause (a) above.

Any change in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change in the Prime Rate, Federal Funds Effective Rate or LIBOR Rate shall be effective as of the opening of business on the effective day of such change in the Prime Rate, Federal Funds Effective Rate or LIBOR Rate, respectively.

“Anti-Terrorism Laws” has the meaning assigned to such term in Section 3.22(a).

“Applicable Board” means (a) the board of directors of the General Partner, but only if such board has responsibility for governing the Borrower or (b) the board of directors of the Borrower, but only if such board has responsibility for governing the Borrower.

Pricing Grid

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time during which the applicable

The aggregate Committed Amounts shall at all times be in a minimum amount and an integral multiple of $5,000,000. Any decrease (other than termination thereof pursuant to Section 2.09) of the aggregate Committed Amounts may only be made in accordance with Section 2.05(b), and any such reduction of the Committed Amounts shall be permanent. Any increase of the aggregate Committed Amounts may only be made in accordance with Section 2.05(c).

(b) Decreases of Committed Amounts. The Borrower may decrease the aggregate Committed Amounts by delivering to the Administrative Agent a Committed Amount Decrease Certificate electing a decrease of the aggregate Committed Amounts. Any such decrease in the aggregate Committed Amounts shall be effective from the third Business Day after receipt of the applicable Committed Amount Decrease Certificate by the Administrative Agent as provided above, unless such Committed Amount Decrease Certificate requests such decrease to become effective on a later date, not to exceed ten Business Days after receipt thereof by the Administrative Agent. Any such decrease in the aggregate Committed Amounts shall be applied to each Lender’s Committed Amount pro rata. The Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Lender a copy of such Committed Amount Decrease Certificate together with a schedule showing each Lender’s Ratable Portion of the decrease to the aggregate Committed Amounts.

(c) Increase of Committed Amounts. Subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 2.05(c), the Borrower may from time to time increase the aggregate Committed Amounts then in effect by increasing the Committed Amount of a Lender or by causing a Person that at such time is not a Lender to become a Lender (an “Additional Lender”); provided that such Additional Lender will be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

(i) Any increase in the aggregate Committed Amounts shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless the Administrative Agent otherwise consents, and no such increase shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate increases in the Committed Amounts pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) would exceed $500,000,000;

(ii) Any increase in the aggregate Committed Amounts shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the effective date of such increase;

(B) on the effective date of such increase, no Eurodollar Loans shall be outstanding or if any such Eurodollar Loans are outstanding, then the effective date of such increase shall be the last day of the Interest Period in respect of such Eurodollar Loans unless the Borrower pays compensation required by Section 2.16;

(D) if the Borrower elects to increase the aggregate Committed Amounts by increasing the Committed Amount of an existing Lender, the Borrower and such Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G (a “Committed Amount Increase Certificate”), together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and the Borrower shall, upon the return of such Lender’s existing promissory note, deliver

a new promissory note payable to such Lender in a principal amount equal to its Committed Amount, after giving effect to such increase, and otherwise duly completed; and

(E) if the Borrower elects to increase the aggregate Committed Amounts by causing an Additional Lender to become a party to this Agreement, then the Borrower and such Additional Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H (an “Additional Lender Certificate”), together with an Administrative Questionnaire and a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and unless refused by such Additional Lender, the Borrower shall deliver a promissory note payable to such Additional Lender in a principal amount equal to its Committed Amount, and otherwise duly completed.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(iv), from and after the effective date specified in the Committed Amount Increase Certificate or the Additional Lender Certificate (or if any Eurodollar Loans are outstanding, then the last day of the Interest Period in respect of such Eurodollar Loans, unless the Borrower has paid compensation required by Section 2.16): (A) the amount of the aggregate Committed Amounts shall be increased as set forth therein, and (B) in the case of an Additional Lender Certificate, any Additional Lender party thereto shall be a party to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In addition, the Lender or the Additional Lender, as applicable, shall purchase a pro rata portion of the outstanding Loans (and participation interests in Letters of Credit) of each of the other Lenders (and such Lenders hereby agree to sell and to take all such further action to effectuate such sale) such that each such Lender (including any Additional Lender, if applicable) shall hold its Ratable Portion of the outstanding Loans (and participation interests) after giving effect to the increase in the aggregate Committed Amounts.

(iv) Upon its receipt of (A) a duly completed Committed Amount Increase Certificate or an Additional Lender Certificate, executed by the Borrower and the Lender or the Borrower and the Additional Lender party thereto, as applicable, (B) the processing and recording fee referred to in Section 2.05(c)(ii)(D), (C) the Administrative Questionnaire referred to in Section 2.05(c)(ii)(E), if applicable, and (D) the written consent of the Administrative Agent to such increase required by this Section 2.05(c), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Committed Amount Increase Certificate or Additional Lender Certificate and record the information contained therein in the Register required to be maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.04(d). No increase in the aggregate Committed Amounts shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this Section 2.05(c)(iv).

Section 2.06 Letters of Credit.

(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for its own account from any Issuing Bank pursuant to a Letter of Credit Request, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period (subject to Section 2.06(c)). In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the Letter of Credit Request, on the one hand, and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, an Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, on the other hand, the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Letter of Credit Request shall control.

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to any Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by an Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed $100,000,000 and (ii) the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures shall not exceed the aggregate Committed Amounts.

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the date requested (which shall be a Business Day), which shall not be later than the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date.

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank that issues such Letter of Credit or the Lenders, each Issuing Bank that issues a Letter of Credit hereunder hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Ratable Portion of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Issuing Bank that issues a Letter of Credit hereunder, such Lender’s Ratable Portion of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected

by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Committed Amounts, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. At least once per quarter, the Administrative Agent shall provide each Lender with a schedule showing the amount of such Lender’s participations in outstanding Letters of Credit; provided, that the Administrative Agent shall have no liability for any failure to comply with this provision.

(e) Reimbursement. If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on (i) the Business Day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day of receipt, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 that such payment be financed with an ABR Borrowing in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Borrowing. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Ratable Portion thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Ratable Portion of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank that issued such Letter of Credit the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank that issued such Letter of Credit or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by any Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does

not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor any Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of any Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable Governmental Requirements) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank that issued such Letter of Credit may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g) Disbursement Procedures. Each Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h) Interim Interest. If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Loans; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.13(d) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of such Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i) Replacement of an Issuing Bank. Any Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, or to the extent required by Section 2.11(c), the Borrower shall, at the request of the Required Lenders, within two Business Days, deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Secured Parties, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Section 7.01. The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in such account and cash collateral. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse each Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

Section 2.07 Funding of Borrowings.

(a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 2:00 p.m., New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the

Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower that is maintained with the Administrative Agent in New York City or otherwise acceptable to the Administrative Agent and is designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that ABR Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank that made such LC Disbursement.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

Section 2.08 Interest Elections.

(a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request signed by the Borrower.

(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

Section 2.09 Termination and Reduction of Committed Amounts.

(a) Unless previously terminated, each Committed Amount shall terminate on the Maturity Date.

(b) The Borrower may at any time terminate in full the aggregate Committed Amounts. The Borrower may reduce the aggregate Committed Amounts from time to time pursuant to Section 2.05(b), provided that the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the aggregate Committed Amounts if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, the sum of the Revolving Credit Exposures would exceed the aggregate Committed Amounts.

(c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate all Committed Amounts at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such

termination, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Committed Amounts delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination of the aggregate Committed Amounts, or reduction of any portion thereof, shall be permanent.

Section 2.10 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Loan on the Maturity Date.

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

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) The Borrower shall execute and deliver to each Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns in a form approved by the Administrative Agent unless such Lender shall have requested not to receive a promissory note. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after an increase or reduction in such Lender’s Committed Amount pursuant to an assignment made pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein and its registered assigns.

Section 2.11 Prepayment of Loans.

(a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to the requirements of paragraph (b) of this Section.

(b) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing,

not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Committed Amounts as contemplated by Section 2.09, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.09. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing (other than an Inventory Financing Sublimit Borrowing) shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13 and any break funding payments required by Section 2.16(a).

(c) If, at any time, the total Revolving Credit Exposure outstanding at such time exceeds the aggregate Committed Amounts then the Borrower shall prepay the Loans to the extent of such excess on the date such excess first occurs and, if such prepayment does not result in such excess being $0 because of outstanding Letters of Credit, then the Borrower shall cash collateralize such Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.06(j) to the extent of such remaining excess.

(d) If, at any time, the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Inventory Financing Sublimit Borrowings exceeds the Inventory Financing Sublimit Availability at such time, then the Borrower shall prepay the Inventory Financing Sublimit Borrowings to the extent of such excess on the date such excess first occurs.

(e) On the fifth Business Day of each calendar month, the Borrower shall either (i) prepay the outstanding Inventory Financing Sublimit Borrowings by an amount (if positive) equal to (A) the aggregate outstanding Inventory Financing Sublimit Borrowings as of the applicable Inventory Financing Sublimit Borrowing Base Date minus (B) the Inventory Financing Sublimit Borrowing Base as of such Inventory Financing Sublimit Borrowing Base Date (the “Inventory Sublimit Prepayment Amount”), or (ii) convert outstanding Inventory Financing Sublimit Borrowings in an amount equal to the Inventory Sublimit Prepayment Amount into General Loans pursuant to a written notice to the Administrative Agent on such day.

Section 2.12 Fees.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee which shall accrue at an annual rate equal to the applicable Unused Fee on Committed Amount, on the daily amount of such Lender’s unused Committed Amount during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which its Committed Amount terminates. Accrued Unused Fees on Committed Amounts shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the aggregate Committed Amounts terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof, shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first but excluding the last day).

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Margin used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Loans on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Committed Amount terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to each Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.25% per annum on the average daily amount of that portion of the LC Exposure attributable to such Issuing Bank (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Committed Amounts and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure attributable to such Issuing Bank, as well as such Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued shall be payable on the third Business Day following the last day of March, June, September and December of each year, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Committed Amounts terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Committed Amounts terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to an Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to an Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and participation fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

Section 2.13 Interest.

(a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated

maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.

(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and upon termination of the Committed Amounts; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBOR Rate or LIBOR Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(f) In the event that any financial statements delivered pursuant to this Agreement, or any certificate delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(c), is shown to be inaccurate (regardless of whether this Agreement or the Committed Amounts are in effect when such inaccuracy is discovered), and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application of a higher Applicable Margin and/or a higher Unused Fee on Committed Amount for any period (an “Applicable Period”) than the Applicable Margin or Unused Fee on Committed Amount, as applicable, applied for such Applicable Period, then (i) the Borrower shall immediately deliver to the Administrative Agent a correct certificate in the form of the certificate described in Section 5.01(c), (ii) such higher Applicable Margin and/or higher Unused Fee on Committed Amount shall be applied to such Applicable Period, and (iii) the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Administrative Agent the accrued additional interest and expense owing as a result of such increased Applicable Margin and Unused Fee on Committed Amount for such Applicable Period, which payment shall be promptly applied by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 7.02. This Section 2.13(f) shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties with respect to Section 2.13(c) or Article VII.

Section 2.14 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBOR Rate or the LIBOR Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or

(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBOR Rate or the LIBOR Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.

Section 2.15 Increased Costs.

(a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBOR Rate) or any Issuing Bank; or

(ii) impose on any Lender or any Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or such Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

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

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

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’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 the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

Section 2.16 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.11(b) and is revoked in accordance therewith) or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate that would have been applicable to such 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 Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the Eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay to such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

Section 2.17 Taxes.

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

(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Governmental Requirements.

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

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

(e) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable Governmental Requirements, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Governmental Requirements or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.

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

of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender or Participant has complied with such Lender or Participant’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.17(f), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(g) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

Section 2.18 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, Section 2.16 or Section 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the 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 the Administrative Agent at its offices at the address in Charlotte, North Carolina set forth for the Administrative Agent in Section 9.01, except payments to be made directly to an Issuing Bank as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Section 2.15, Section 2.16, Section 2.17 and Section 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The 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 payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in dollars.

(b) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of

interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.

(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 participations in LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in LC Disbursements; 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 paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower 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 Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Governmental Requirements, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

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

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.06(d) or (e), Section 2.07(b), Section 2.18(d) or Section 9.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

Section 2.19 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or Section 2.17, 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. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or if any Lender becomes a Non-Consenting Lender or a Non-Extending Lender, then the 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 Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and if a Committed Amount is being assigned, each Issuing Bank), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments, (iv) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have agreed to the applicable departure, waiver or amendment of the Loan Documents, and (v) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Extending Lender, the applicable assignee shall have agreed to the applicable Maturity Date Extension. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

(c) In the event that (i) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent has requested that the Lenders consent to a departure or waiver of any provisions of the Loan Documents or agree to any amendment thereto, (ii) the consent, waiver or amendment in question requires the agreement of all Lenders or all affected Lenders in accordance with the terms of Section 9.02 and (iii) the Required Lenders have agreed to such consent, waiver or amendment, then any Lender who does not agree to such consent, waiver, or amendment shall be deemed a “Non-Consenting Lender”.

Section 2.20 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if at any time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, the following provisions shall apply so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender as determined in accordance with Section 2.20(d):

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(i) fees shall cease to accrue on the Committed Amount of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12;

(ii) with respect to any LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender that exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or thereafter:

(A) all or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s Ratable Portion of the total LC Exposure shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Committed Amounts (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Committed Amount) but only to the extent that (1) the sum of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Committed Amounts is greater than zero; (2) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at such time and (3) each such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Committed Amount is greater than zero;

(B) if the reallocation described in clause (ii)(A) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, then the Borrower shall within three Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s portion of the LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (ii)(A) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.06(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

(C) if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s portion of the LC Exposure pursuant to this Section 2.20 then the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s portion of the LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s portion of the LC Exposure is cash collateralized;

(D) if the LC Exposure of the Non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to Section 2.20(a)(ii)(A), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.12 shall be adjusted in accordance with such Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Ratable Portions (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Committed Amount); and

(E) if any Defaulting Lender’s portion of the LC Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.20(a)(ii), then,

without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Banks or any other Lender hereunder, all commitment and commission fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Committed Amount that was utilized by such LC Exposure) and letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.12 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s portion of the LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Banks, until such LC Exposure is cash collateralized, reallocated and/or repaid in full.

(iii) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.18 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows:

(A) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder;

(B) second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Bank hereunder;

(C) third, to cash collateralize any Issuing Bank’s LC Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.06(j);

(D) fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent;

(E) fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) cash collateralize any Issuing Bank’s future LC Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.06(j);

(F) sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or any Issuing Bank as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or any Issuing Bank against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement;

(G) seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and

(H) eighth, to such 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 Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and LC Disbursements owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or LC Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in LC Obligations are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Committed Amounts without giving effect to Section 2.20(a)(ii). 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 2.20(a)(iii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(b) So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Committed Amounts of the Non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.20(a), and participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.06(e) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein).

(c) The Borrower Parties shall not enter into any Hedging Agreement or sales contract with a Lender while it is a Defaulting Lender (or any Affiliate of a Lender that is then a Defaulting Lender).

(d) In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, and each Issuing Bank each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the LC Exposure shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Committed Amount and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans, Committed Amounts and/or Secured Obligations of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans, Committed Amounts and/or Secured Obligations in accordance with its Ratable Portion, 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 the 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.

Section 2.21 Extension of Maturity Date.

(a) The Borrower may, by notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the Lenders) not earlier than 60 days prior to the Maturity Date then in effect hereunder (the “Existing Maturity Date”) and not later than 30 days prior to the Existing Maturity Date, request an extension of the Maturity Date (a “Maturity Date Extension”) for one additional year from the Existing Maturity Date; provided that the Borrower may request (i) only two such extensions during the term of this Agreement and (ii) only one extension during any calendar year.

(b) Each Lender, acting in its sole and individual discretion, shall, by notice to the Administrative Agent given not later than the date that is 15 days prior to the Existing Maturity Date (the “Notice Date”), advise the Administrative Agent whether or not such Lender agrees to such Maturity Date Extension and the application thereof to its Committed Amount (and each Lender that determines not to so extend its Committed Amount (a “Non-Extending Lender”) shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact promptly after such determination (but in any event no later than the Notice Date)); provided that any Lender that does not so advise the Administrative Agent on or before the Notice Date shall be deemed to be a Non-Extending Lender. The election of any Lender to agree to such extension shall not obligate any other Lender to so agree.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of each Lender’s determination under this Section 2.21 no later than the day after the Notice Date (or, if such date is not a Business Day, on the next following Business Day).

(d) The Borrower shall have the right to replace each Non-Extending Lender with, and add as “Lenders” under this Agreement in place thereof, one or more institutions (each, an “Additional Commitment Lender”) as provided in Section 2.19(b); provided that each of such Additional Commitment Lenders shall enter into an Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which such Additional Commitment Lender shall, effective as of the Existing Maturity Date, undertake a Committed Amount (and, if any such Additional Commitment Lender is already a Lender, such Committed Amount shall be in addition to such Lender’s existing Committed Amount hereunder on such date).

(e) If (and only if) the total of (i) the Committed Amounts of the Lenders that have agreed to such Maturity Date Extension and the application thereof to their Committed Amounts (each, an “Extending Lender”) and (ii) the additional Committed Amounts of the Additional Commitment Lenders shall be greater than 50% of the aggregate amount of the Committed Amounts in effect immediately prior to the Notice Date, then, effective as of the Existing Maturity Date, the Maturity Date of the Committed Amounts of each Extending Lender and of each Additional Commitment Lender shall be extended to the date falling one year after the Existing Maturity Date (except that, if such date is not a Business Day, such Maturity Date as so extended shall be the next preceding Business Day) and each Additional Commitment Lender shall thereupon become a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement.

It will and will cause its Restricted Subsidiaries to deliver or cause to be delivered to the Administrative Agent from time to time such other documentation, consents, authorizations, approvals and orders in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the

Administrative Agent as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably deem necessary to perfect or maintain the Liens on the Collateral pursuant to the Security Documents. Upon the exercise by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any power, right, privilege or remedy pursuant to any Loan Document which requires any consent, approval, registration, qualification or authorization of any Governmental Authority, it will and will cause its Restricted Subsidiaries to execute and deliver all applications, certifications, instruments and other documents and papers that the Administrative Agent or such Lender may require.

All such insurance shall be reasonably satisfactory in all other respects to the Administrative Agent.

(c) Certificates. Concurrently with the annual renewal of the insurance required to be maintained pursuant to this Section 5.12, if requested by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall deliver a certificate or certificates of insurance showing that all insurance required to be maintained pursuant to this Section 5.12 has been obtained and is in effect to the Administrative Agent.

(c) Notwithstanding any provision of the Loan Documents to the contrary, the Borrower and the other Borrower Parties may incur Guarantee obligations in the ordinary course of business consisting of Guarantees of performance obligations of Unrestricted Subsidiaries as long as such Guarantees do not constitute Guarantees of payment or Guarantees of performance of obligations that would result in the payment of any Indebtedness; provided, that the amount that has been or could reasonably be expected to be incurred pursuant to all such performance Guarantees is not greater than $1,000,000 in the aggregate.

(a) It will provide prompt notice of any change, amendment or modification that occurs with respect to a Hedging Agreement or sales contract related to Financed Eligible Inventory to the extent that such change, amendment or modification relates to the timing or amount of payments thereunder or would cause a prepayment to be required under Section 2.11(d).

(b) It will, and will cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, maintain full Hedging Agreements or forward sale contracts at all times with respect to Financed Eligible Inventory; provided that the unavailability of derivatives with respect to the precise type of Petroleum Product that constitutes given Financed Eligible Inventory, basis differentials that cannot be fully hedged, or similar circumstances, shall not result in given Financed Eligible Inventory being considered to be not “fully hedged” for purposes of this clause (b), so long as the Borrower is in good faith attempting to cause its commodity price risk with respect to such Financed Eligible Inventory to be minimized as reasonably possible.

All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt.

Section 9.02 Waivers; Amendments.

(a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Arranger or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Banks, the Arrangers and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower or any Subsidiary therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified (except as expressly set forth herein or therein) except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and any other affected Borrower Party, as applicable, on the one hand, and the Required Lenders, on the other hand, or by the Borrower and any affected Borrower Party, as applicable, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders, on the other hand; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Committed Amount of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder (other than the definition of “Consolidated Leverage Ratio” and the other defined terms that are components thereof whether or not the effect of such waiver, amendment or modification could reasonably be expected to result in reducing the amount of interest or fees payable hereunder) without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Committed Amount, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.18(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 or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required

110

to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender, (vi) release the Borrower or all or substantially all of the Restricted Subsidiaries from their Guarantee obligations pursuant to the Security Documents (except if such entity, other than the Borrower, is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary in compliance with this Agreement), without the consent of each Lender, or (vii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral, without the consent of each Lender; provided further that (A) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or any Issuing Bank hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be and (B) any amendment, waiver, or modification which has an adverse effect on a Lender or Affiliate thereof in its capacity as party to a Secured Hedging Agreement and expressly impacts such Lender or Affiliate in such capacity in a different manner than the Lenders are impacted generally shall require the consent of each such Lender or Affiliate; provided further that the Borrower may amend, modify or supplement Schedule 5.15 in accordance with Section 6.20 upon providing prior written notice and description of such amendment, modification or supplement to the Administrative Agent (without the consent of the Administrative Agent or any Lender).

(c) Without the consent of any other Person, the applicable Borrower Party or Borrower Parties, as applicable, and the Administrative Agent may (in its or their respective sole discretion, or shall, to the extent required by any Loan Document) enter into any waiver, amendment or modification of any Loan Document, or enter into any new agreement or instrument, in each case to effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral or additional Property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties, or as required by local law to give effect to, or protect any security interest for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in any Property or so that the security interests therein comply with applicable Governmental Requirements.

Section 9.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, each Arranger and their respective Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent and each Arranger, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the Transactions shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.

111

(b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Arranger, each Issuing Bank and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, penalties (including, without limitation, any civil penalties or fines assessed by OFAC), damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit issued by it if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any Property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party, by the Borrower or by any other Borrower Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

(c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any Issuing Bank under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, such Arranger or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such Lender’s Ratable Portion (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, such Arranger or such Issuing Bank in its capacity as such.

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable Governmental Requirements, no Borrower Party shall assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable no later than three Business Days after written demand therefor.

Section 9.04 Successors and Assigns.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, all future holders of the Loans and any

112

notes hereunder and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Lender.

(b) Any Lender may, in accordance with applicable Governmental Requirements and at no cost or expense to the Borrower, at any time sell to one or more banks or other entities (“Participants”) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Committed Amount of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, (iii) such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Loan (and any note evidencing such Loan) for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (iv) the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (v) in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code, the Lender shall be, to the extent permitted by Governmental Requirements, the sole representative with respect to the obligations held in the name of such Lender, whether for its own account or for the account of any Participant. No Lender shall be entitled to create in favor of any Participant, in the participation agreement pursuant to which such Participant’s participating interest shall be created or otherwise, any right to vote on, consent to or approve any matter relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document except for those specified the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) if it affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 with respect to its participation in the Committed Amounts and the Loans and Letters of Credit outstanding from time to time as if it was a Lender; provided that, in the case of Section 2.17, such Participant shall have complied with the requirements of said section and provided further that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to any such section than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of such amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred.

(c) Any Lender may, in accordance with applicable Governmental Requirements, at any time and from time to time assign to any Lender or any Affiliate thereof or, with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and each Issuing Bank (which in each case shall not be unreasonably withheld), to an additional bank or financial institution or other entity (other than a Borrower Party or an Affiliate thereof) (an “Assignee”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents including its Committed Amount, Loans and Letters of Credit pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by such Assignee and such assigning Lender (and, in the case of an Assignee that is not then a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank) and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register, provided that (i) (unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent in writing) no such transfer to any Assignee (other than a Lender or any Affiliate thereof) shall be in an aggregate principal amount less than $5,000,000 in the aggregate (or, if less, the full amount of such assigning Lender’s Committed Amount, Loans and Letters of Credit), and (ii) if any Lender assigns all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one of its Affiliates in connection with or in contemplation of the sale or other disposition of its interest in

113

such Affiliate, the Borrower’s, the Administrative Agent’s and each Issuing Bank’s prior written consent shall be required for such assignment (which shall not be unreasonably withheld). Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, (A) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with a Committed Amount as set forth therein, and (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such assigning Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 9.04(c) or Section 9.04(e) to the contrary, the consent of the Borrower shall not be required for any assignment which occurs at any time when any Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(d) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Borrower but acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the address of the Administrative Agent referred to in Section 9.01 a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Committed Amounts of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may (and in the case of any Loan or obligation hereunder not evidence by a note, shall) treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Loan or other obligation hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Any assignment of any Loan or other obligation hereunder not evidenced by a note shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no assignment under Section 9.04(c) of any rights or obligations under or in respect of any Loans, any notes or the Letters of Credit shall be effective unless the Administrative Agent shall have recorded the assignment pursuant to Section 9.04(d). Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee (and, in the case of an Assignee that is not then a Lender or an Affiliate thereof, by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank) together with payment to the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500 (other than in the case of an assignment by a Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender), the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Assumption and (ii) on the effective date determined pursuant thereto record the information contained therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Lenders and the Borrower. On or prior to such effective date, the assigning Lender shall surrender any outstanding notes held by it all or a portion of which are being assigned, and the Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (in exchange for the outstanding notes of the assigning Lender) a new note to such Assignee in an amount equal to the amount of such Assignee’s Committed Amount after giving effect to such Assignment and Assumption and, if the assigning Lender has retained a Committed Amount hereunder, a new note to the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the amount of such

114

Lender’s Committed Amount after giving effect to such Assignment and Assumption. Any such new notes shall be dated the Effective Date and shall otherwise be in the form of the note replaced thereby. Any notes surrendered by the assigning Lender shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower marked “canceled.”

(f) The Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Assignee (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferees any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning the Borrower Parties and their Affiliates that has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or that has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of the Borrower Parties and their Affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Agreement.

(g) For the avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this Section 9.04 concerning assignments of Loans and notes relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including any pledge or assignment by a Lender or any Loan or note to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable Governmental Requirements.

Section 9.05 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding (and has not been fully cash collateralized on customary terms reasonably acceptable to the Issuing Bank) and so long as the Committed Amounts have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Section 2.15, Section 2.16, Section 2.17 and Section 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the Transactions, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Committed Amounts or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

Section 9.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

115

Section 9.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 9.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower Party against any of and all the obligations of any Borrower Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured; provided that in the event any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.20(a)(iii) and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Secured Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

Section 9.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

(a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

(b) Each of the Borrower Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its Property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against any Borrower Party or its Properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

116

(c) Each of the Borrower Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(d) Each Borrower Party hereby agrees that the service of all writs, process and summonses in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in the State of New York against it may be made upon CT Corporation System (the “Process Agent”), at 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, and each Borrower Party hereby irrevocably agrees that the Process Agent has been duly and irrevocably appointed as its agent and true and lawful attorney-in-fact in its name, place and stead to accept such service of any and all such writs, process and summonses, and agrees that the failure of the Process Agent to give any notice of any such service of process to it shall not impair or affect the validity of such service or any judgment based thereon. Each Borrower Party hereby further irrevocably consents to the service of process in any suit, action or proceeding in such courts against it by the mailing thereof by the Administrative Agent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, at its address set forth in Section 9.01.

Section 9.10 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (a) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (b) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

Each of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, any Issuing Bank and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or self-regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable Governmental Requirements or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the

For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any Borrower Party relating to such Borrower Party or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by such Borrower Party; provided that, in the case of information received from such Borrower Party after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Section 9.13 Interest Rate Limitation. 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 are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable Governmental Requirements (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable Governmental Requirements, 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 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 Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

Section 9.14 USA Patriot Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), hereby notifies the Borrower Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower Parties, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower Parties and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower Parties in accordance with the Patriot Act.

(d) This amendment and restatement is limited as written and is not a consent to any other amendment, restatement or waiver, whether or not similar and, except as expressly provided herein or in any other Loan Document, all terms and conditions of the Loan Documents remain in full force and effect unless specifically amended hereby or by any other Loan Document.

(e) As of the Effective Date, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (the “DB Exiting Lender”) shall be deemed to have irrevocably sold and assigned to Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch (the “DB Assignee”), and the DB Assignee shall be deemed to have irrevocably purchased and assumed from the DB Exiting Lender, all of the DB Exiting Lender’s rights and obligations in its capacity as a Lender under this Agreement and any other documents or instruments delivered pursuant thereto with respect to the DB Exiting Lender’s commitments and Loans owing to such DB Exiting Lender.

Within 15 Business Days after the Effective Date, all valuations and supporting documentation for the portions of the Mortgaged Property situated in Alabama and Florida, respectively, sufficient for all purposes to apportion the values of the Mortgaged Property located in such respective states, and to the applicable counties or other jurisdictions within such states where the applicable Mortgaged Property is located, for the purposes of calculating and paying all applicable mortgage taxes, intangibles taxes, and similar taxes due and payable in such states in connection with the recordation of the amendments to the Mortgages in such states (including, without limitation, the execution and delivery of all petitions, affidavits, certificates, and other documentation necessary or advisable for such purpose); provided, that should Borrower fail to deliver such valuations and other supporting documentation within such 15 Business Day period, Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, for and on behalf of and for the account of Borrower, pay the maximum amount of such applicable mortgage taxes, intangibles taxes, and similar taxes due and payable in such states in connection with the recordation of the amendments to the Mortgages, calculated in each case without regard to any apportionment or allocation of the value of the Mortgage Property either to such states or to any counties or other jurisdictions within such states, and Borrower shall be liable to Administrative Agent for the full amount thereof (and such amounts shall be treated as Secured Obligations for all purposes hereunder).

Within 15 Business Days after the Effective Date, an executed amendment to each existing Mortgage recorded in the States of Alabama and Florida, each of which reflects the Maturity Date and makes such other modifications to the Mortgages as reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent.
