Borrowing Base calculations shall be consistent with historical methods of valuation and calculation, and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent (and not necessarily calculated in accordance with GAAP). Borrowers shall have the burden of establishing any alleged gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith by Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender under any Loan Documents.

1.5. Pro Forma Calculations.

1.5.1 Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be calculated in the manner prescribed by this Section 1.5.

1.5.2 Specified Transactions. For purposes of calculating the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, Specified Transactions (and the incurrence or repayment of any Debt in connection therewith) that have been made (a) during the applicable Measurement Period and (b) subsequent to such Measurement Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Specified Transactions (and any increase or decrease in Consolidated EBITDA and the component financial definitions used therein attributable to any Specified Transaction) had occurred on the first day of the applicable Measurement Period. If since the beginning of any applicable Measurement Period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into the Company or any of its Subsidiaries since the beginning of such Measurement Period shall have made any Specified Transaction that would have required adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.5, then the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio shall be calculated to give pro forma effect thereto in accordance with this Section 1.5.

1.5.3 Pro Forma Calculations of Specified Transactions. Whenever pro forma effect is to be given to a Specified Transaction, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of Borrower Agent and may include, without duplication, cost savings, operating expense reductions, restructuring charges and expenses and cost-saving synergies resulting from such Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger, consolidation or discontinued operation or other transaction, in each case calculated in the manner described in the definition of Consolidated EBITDA.

1.5.4 Capitalized Lease Obligations. Interest on a Capitalized Lease obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of Borrower Agent to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease obligation in accordance with GAAP. Interest on Debt that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a London interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be determined to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as Borrower Agent or Subsidiary may designate.

1.5.5 Compliance with Payment Conditions. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, with respect to any Acquisition and the incurrence of any Debt or Lien in connection therewith, subject to the next succeeding proviso, compliance with the Payment Conditions test required by this Agreement for such Acquisition or such Debt shall be determined on the date the definitive acquisition agreement for such Acquisition is entered into and, only with respect to the tests described in clauses (b)(i) and (b)(ii) of the definition of “Payment Conditions”, be determined on the date (a) the definitive acquisition agreement for such Acquisition is entered into and (b) such Acquisition is consummated (in each case, after giving pro forma effect to such Acquisition); provided that, the Payment Conditions shall be deemed not to have been met if an Event of Default under Section 12.1(a) shall have occurred and be continuing on the date such Acquisition is consummated.

-43-

1.6. Divisions. Any reference herein to a merger, transfer, consolidation, amalgamation, assignment, sale, disposition or transfer, or similar term, shall be deemed to apply to a Division of or by a limited liability company or limited partnership, or an allocation of assets to a series of any such entity (or the unwinding of such a Division or allocation) as if it were a merger, transfer, consolidation, amalgamation, assignment, sale, disposition or transfer or similar term, as applicable, to, of or with a separate Person. Any Division of Person shall constitute a separate Person hereunder.

SECTION 2. CREDIT FACILITIES

2.1. Commitment.

2.1.1 Loans. Each Lender agrees, severally on a Pro Rata basis up to its Commitment, on the terms set forth herein, to make Loans to Borrowers from time to time on and after the Closing Date through the Commitment Termination Date. The Loans may be repaid or prepaid, as applicable, and reborrowed as provided herein. In no event shall Lenders have any obligation to honor a request for a Loan if Revolver Usage at such time plus the requested Loan would exceed the Line Cap.

2.1.2 Notes. Loans and interest accruing thereon shall be evidenced by the records of Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender. At the written request of a Lender, Borrowers shall deliver promissory note(s) to such Lender, evidencing its Loan(s).

2.1.3 [Reserved].

2.1.4 Voluntary Reduction or Termination of Commitments.

(a) The Commitments shall terminate on the Termination Date, unless sooner terminated in accordance with this Agreement. Upon at least 5 Business Days’ prior written notice to Administrative Agent, Borrowers may, at their option, terminate the Commitments and this credit facility. Any notice of termination given by Borrowers shall be irrevocable; provided that such notice may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by Borrowers (by notice to Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. On the Termination Date, Borrowers shall make Full Payment of all Obligations.

(b) Borrowers may permanently reduce the Commitments, on a ratable basis for all Lenders, upon at least 5 Business Days’ prior written notice to Administrative Agent, which notice shall specify the amount of the reduction and shall be irrevocable once given. Each reduction shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000, or an increment of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

2.1.5 Overadvances. If Revolver Usage exceeds the Line Cap (“Overadvance”) at any time, the excess amount shall be payable by Borrowers on demand by Administrative Agent, but all such Loans shall nevertheless constitute Obligations secured by the Collateral and entitled to all benefits of the Loan Documents. Administrative Agent may require Lenders to fund Overadvance Loans and to forbear from requiring Borrowers to cure an Overadvance, as long as the total Overadvance does not exceed 10% of the Borrowing Base and does not continue for more than 30 consecutive days without the consent of Required Lenders. In no event shall Overadvance Loans be required that would cause Revolver Usage to exceed the aggregate Commitments. Any funding of an Overadvance Loan or sufferance of an Overadvance shall not constitute a waiver by Administrative Agent or Lenders of the Event of Default caused thereby. In no event shall any Borrower or other Obligor be deemed a beneficiary of this Section nor authorized to enforce any of its terms.

-44-

2.1.6 Protective Advances. Administrative Agent shall be authorized, in its discretion, at any time that any conditions in Section 6 are not satisfied, to make Base Rate Loans (“Protective Advances”) (a) up to an aggregate amount equal to 10.0% of the aggregate amount of Commitment outstanding at any time, if Administrative Agent deems such Loans necessary or desirable to preserve or protect Collateral, or to enhance the collectability or repayment of Obligations, as long as such Loans do not cause Revolver Usage to exceed the aggregate Commitments; or (b) to pay any other amounts chargeable to Obligors under any Loan Documents, including interest, costs, fees and expenses. Lenders shall participate on a Pro Rata basis in Protective Advances outstanding from time to time. Required Lenders may at any time revoke Administrative Agent’s authority to make further Protective Advances under clause (a) by written notice to Administrative Agent. Absent such revocation, Administrative Agent’s determination that funding of a Protective Advance is appropriate shall be conclusive.

2.1.7 Increase in Commitments. Borrowers may request an increase in Commitments from time to time upon notice to Administrative Agent by adding to this Agreement one or more Eligible Assignees that are not already Lenders hereunder to issue additional Commitments and become Lenders hereunder or by allowing one or more existing Lenders to increase their respective Commitments (but no existing Lender shall be required to, or have any obligation to, increase its Commitments), as long as (a) the requested increase is in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 (other than requests for the entire remaining amount under the aggregate limit set forth in clause (b) below) and is offered on the same terms as existing Commitments, except for a closing fee specified by Borrowers, (b) increases under this Section 2.1.7 do not exceed $25,000,000 in the aggregate, (c) no more than three (3) reductions in Commitments pursuant to Section 2.1.4 and increases pursuant to this Section 2.1.7, taken together, shall be made, and in no event shall any reduction or increase occur within 6 months of the date of any previous reduction or increase, as the case may be, (d) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as of the date of the request for increase and immediately before and after giving effect thereto, and (e) the requested increase does not cause the Commitments to exceed any applicable cap under the terms of any indenture, note agreement or other agreement governing the Secured Notes, the Senior Notes, any Debt permitted under Section 10.2.1(g), and any Refinancing Debt in respect of the foregoing. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Lenders of the requested increase and, within 10 Business Days thereafter, each Lender shall notify Administrative Agent if and to what extent such Lender commits to increase its Commitment. Any Lender not responding within such period shall be deemed to have declined an increase. If Lenders fail to commit to the full requested increase, Eligible Assignees may issue additional Commitments and become Lenders hereunder. Administrative Agent and Borrower Agent shall determine the allocation of the increased Commitments among committing Lenders and, if necessary, Eligible Assignees. Provided the conditions set forth in clauses (a) and (b) (and if a Borrowing is to be made in connection with such increase, clauses (d), (e) and (f)) of Section 6.2 are satisfied, total Commitments shall be increased by the requested amount (or at Borrower Agent’s election, such lesser amount committed by existing Lenders and Eligible Assignees) on a date agreed upon by Administrative Agent and Borrower Agent, but no later than 45 days following Borrowers’ increase request. Administrative Agent, Borrowers, and new and existing Lenders shall execute and deliver such documents and agreements as Administrative Agent reasonably requests to evidence the increase in and allocations of Commitments. On the effective date of an increase, the Revolver Usage and other exposures under the Commitments shall be reallocated among Lenders, and settled by Administrative Agent if necessary, in accordance with Lenders’ adjusted shares of such Commitments and the total Commitments under, and for all purposes of, this Agreement shall be increased by the aggregate amount of such increase.

2.2. Letter of Credit Facility.

2.2.1 Issuance of Letters of Credit. From and after the Closing Date, each Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed, for all purposes of this Agreement, to be a Letter of Credit used for the account of the Borrowers on the Closing Date. The Issuing Banks shall also issue Letters of Credit from time to time until 7 days prior to the Termination Date (or until the Commitment Termination Date, if earlier), on the terms set forth herein, including the following:

-45-

(a) Each Borrower acknowledges that Issuing Bank’s issuance of any Letter of Credit is conditioned upon Issuing Bank’s receipt of an LC Application (via facsimile or other electronic method of transmission reasonably acceptable to Issuing Bank) with respect to the requested Letter of Credit, as well as such other instruments and agreements as Issuing Bank may customarily require for issuance of a letter of credit of similar type and amount. Each LC Request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or the amendment, renewal, or extension of any outstanding Letter of Credit, shall be irrevocable and shall be made in writing by a Senior Officer and delivered to Issuing Bank via facsimile or other electronic method of transmission reasonably acceptable to Issuing Bank. Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit unless (i) Issuing Bank receives an LC Request and LC Application at least 3 Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance; (ii) each LC Condition is satisfied; and (iii) if a Defaulting Lender exists, such Lender or Borrowers have entered into arrangements satisfactory to Issuing Bank to eliminate any Fronting Exposure associated with such Lender (after giving effect to Section 4.2). If, in sufficient time to act, Issuing Bank receives written notice from Administrative Agent or Required Lenders that an LC Condition has not been satisfied, Issuing Bank shall not issue the requested Letter of Credit until such notice is withdrawn in writing. Prior to receipt of any such notice, Issuing Bank shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any failure of LC Conditions.

(b) Letters of Credit may be requested by a Borrower for its own account or the account of any other Obligor to support obligations incurred in the Ordinary Course of Business, or as otherwise approved by Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank. Increase, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit shall be treated as issuance of a new Letter of Credit, except that Issuing Bank may require a new LC Application in its reasonable discretion.

(c) Borrowers assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuses of any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary; provided that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude any Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. In connection with any Letter of Credit, none of Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender shall be responsible for the existence, character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any goods purported to be represented by any Documents; any differences or variation in the character, quality, quantity, condition, packing, value or delivery of any goods from that expressed in any Documents; the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any Documents or of any endorsements thereon; the time, place, manner or order in which shipment of goods is made; partial or incomplete shipment of, or failure to ship, any goods referred to in a Letter of Credit or LC Document; any deviation from instructions, delay, default or fraud by any shipper or other Person in connection with any goods, shipment or delivery; any breach of contract between a shipper or vendor and a Borrower; errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex, facsimile, e-mail, telephone or otherwise; errors in interpretation of technical terms; the misapplication by a beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof; or any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of any Issuing Bank, Administrative Agent or any Lender, including any act or omission of a Governmental Authority. Borrowers shall take all action to avoid and mitigate any damages related to any Letter of Credit or claimed against any Issuing Bank, Administrative Agent or any Lender, including through enforcement of any available rights against a beneficiary. The rights and remedies of any Issuing Bank under the Loan Documents shall be cumulative. Each Issuing Bank shall be fully subrogated to the rights and remedies of each beneficiary whose claims against Borrowers are discharged with proceeds of any Letter of Credit.

(d) In connection with its administration of and enforcement of rights or remedies under any Letters of Credit or LC Documents, each Issuing Bank shall be entitled to act, and shall be fully protected in acting, upon any certification, documentation or other Communication in whatever form believed by Issuing Bank, in good faith, to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by a proper Person. Each Issuing Bank may consult with and employ legal counsel, accountants and other experts to advise it concerning its obligations, rights and remedies, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in any action taken in good faith reliance upon, any advice given by such experts. Each Issuing Bank may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection with any matter relating to Letters of Credit or LC Documents, and shall not be liable for the negligence or misconduct of agents and attorneys-in-fact selected with reasonable care.

-46-

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

2.2.2 Reimbursement; Participations.

(a) If Issuing Bank honors any request for payment under a Letter of Credit, Borrowers shall pay to Issuing Bank (x) by 11:00 a.m. on the same day if the applicable Borrower receives notice of such payment from the Issuing Bank not later than 9:00 a.m. on the date such Issuing Bank honors such request for payment or (y) by 11:00 a.m. on the Business Day immediately following the date on which the Borrower receives such notice from the Issuing Bank, if received later than 9:00 a.m. on the date of notice (“Reimbursement Date”), the amount paid by Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit (the “Draw Amount”). If any Draw Amount is not paid on the Reimbursement Date thereof, whether or not Borrower Agent submits a Notice of Borrowing (and without regard to any required minimum amounts of Borrowing), Borrowers shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in an amount equal to such Draw Amount on any Reimbursement Date and each Lender shall fund its Pro Rata share of such Borrowing whether or not the Commitments have terminated, an Overadvance exists or is created thereby, or the conditions in Section 6 are satisfied. The obligation of Borrowers to reimburse Issuing Bank for any payment made under a Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional, irrevocable, and joint and several, and shall be paid under any and all circumstances whatsoever, including: (i) any lack of validity, enforceability, or legal effect of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement or any term or provision therein or herein; (ii) payment against presentation of any draft, demand or claim for payment under any Drawing Document which proves to be fraudulent, forged, or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, or which is signed, issued or presented by a Person or a transferee of such Person purporting to be a successor or transferee of the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit; (iii) Issuing Bank or any of its branches or affiliates being the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit; (iv) Issuing Bank or any correspondent honoring a drawing against a Drawing Document up to the amount available under any Letter of Credit even if such Drawing Document claims an amount in excess of the amount available under the Letter of Credit; (v) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries may have at any time against any beneficiary, any assignee of proceeds, Issuing Bank or any other Person; (vi) any other event, circumstance or conduct whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing that might, but for this Section 2.2.2(a), constitute a legal or equitable defense to or discharge of, or provide a right of set-off against, any Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ reimbursement and other payment obligations and liabilities, arising under, or in connection with, any Letter of Credit, whether against Issuing Bank, the beneficiary or any other Person; or (vii) the fact that any Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(b) Each Lender hereby irrevocably and unconditionally purchases from Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided Pro Rata participation in all LC Obligations outstanding from time to time. Issuing Bank is issuing Letters of Credit in reliance upon this participation. If Borrowers do not make a payment to Issuing Bank when due hereunder, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Lenders and each Lender shall within 1 Business Day after such notice pay to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Pro Rata share of such payment. Upon request by a Lender, Issuing Bank shall provide copies of Letters of Credit and LC Documents in its possession at such time.

-47-

(c) The obligation of each Lender to make payments to Administrative Agent for the account of Issuing Bank in connection with Issuing Bank’s payment under a Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, not subject to any counterclaim, setoff, qualification or exception whatsoever, and shall be made in accordance with this Agreement under all circumstances, irrespective of any lack of validity or unenforceability of any Loan Documents; any draft, certificate or other document presented under a Letter of Credit having been determined to be forged, fraudulent, noncompliant, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; any waiver by Issuing Bank of a requirement that exists for its protection (and not a Borrower’s protection) or that does not materially prejudice a Borrower; any honor of an electronic demand for payment even if a draft is required; any payment of an item presented after a Letter of Credit’s expiration date if authorized by the UCC or applicable customs or practices; or any setoff or defense that an Obligor may have with respect to any Obligations. No Issuing Bank assumes any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by any Borrower or other Person of any obligations under any LC Documents. No Issuing Bank makes to Lenders any express or implied warranty, representation or guaranty with respect to any Letter of Credit, Collateral, LC Document or Obligor. No Issuing Bank shall be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in, or for the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of any LC Documents; the validity, genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value or sufficiency of any Collateral or the perfection of any Lien therein; or the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any Obligor.

(d) No Issuing Bank Indemnitee shall be liable to any Lender or other Person for any action taken or omitted to be taken in connection with any Letter of Credit or LC Document except as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct as may be finally determined in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Each Issuing Bank may (but is not obligated to) refrain from taking any action with respect to a Letter of Credit until it receives written instructions (and in its reasonable discretion, appropriate assurances) from the Lenders.

2.2.3 Cash Collateral.

(b) Subject to Section 2.1.5, if at any time (i) an Event of Default exists, (ii) the Commitment Termination Date has occurred, or (iii) the Termination Date is scheduled to occur within 5 Business Days, then Borrowers shall, in each case, at Issuing Bank’s or Administrative Agent’s written request, Cash Collateralize the outstanding Letters of Credit and all other LC Obligations. Borrowers shall, at Issuing Bank’s or Administrative Agent’s written request at any time, Cash Collateralize the Fronting Exposure of any Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 4.2 and any cash collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender). If Borrowers fail to provide any Cash Collateral as required hereunder, Lenders may (and shall upon direction of Administrative Agent) advance, as Loans, the amount of Cash Collateral required (whether or not the Commitments have terminated, an Overadvance exists or is created thereby or the conditions in Section 6.2 are satisfied).

2.2.4 Resignation of Issuing Bank. Issuing Bank may resign at any time upon not less than 10 Business Days’ prior written notice to Administrative Agent and Borrowers, and any resignation of Administrative Agent hereunder shall automatically constitute its concurrent resignation as Issuing Bank. From the effective date of such resignation, Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue, amend, renew, extend or otherwise modify any Letter of Credit, but shall otherwise continue to have all rights and other obligations of an Issuing Bank hereunder relating to any Letter of Credit issued by it prior to such date. Administrative Agent shall promptly appoint a replacement Issuing Bank, which, as long as no Event of Default exists, shall be reasonably acceptable to Borrowers.

-48-

2.2.5 Indemnification. Each Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Issuing Bank Indemnitee (to the fullest extent permitted by law) as set forth in Section 15.2.

2.2.6 Limitation of Liability. The liability of Issuing Bank (or any other Indemnitee) under, in connection with or arising out of any Letter of Credit (or pre-advice), regardless of the form or legal grounds of the action or proceeding, shall be limited to direct damages suffered by Borrowers that are caused by Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in (i) honoring a presentation under a Letter of Credit that on its face does not at least substantially comply with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit, (ii) failing to honor a presentation under a Letter of Credit that strictly complies with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit or (iii) retaining Drawing Documents presented under a Letter of Credit. Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have acted with due diligence and reasonable care if Issuing Bank’s conduct is in accordance with Standard Letter of Credit Practice or in accordance with this Agreement.

SECTION 3. INTEREST, FEES AND CHARGES

3.1. Interest.

3.1.1 Rates and Payment of Interest.

(a) The Obligations shall bear interest (i) if a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate in effect from time to time, plus the Applicable Margin; (ii) if a BSBY Loan, at the BSBY Rate for the applicable Interest Period, plus the Applicable Margin; and (iii) if any other Obligation (including, to the extent permitted by law, interest not paid when due), at the Base Rate in effect from time to time, plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans.

(b) Automatically following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default arising under Section 12.1(a) or 12.1(i), or following the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default (in each case, after giving effect to applicable grace periods) if the Required Lenders in their sole discretion so elect, outstanding Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate (whether before or after any judgment). Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable on demand. Each Obligor acknowledges that the cost and expense to Administrative Agent and Lenders due to an Event of Default are difficult to ascertain and that the Default Rate is fair and reasonable compensation for this.

(c) Interest shall accrue from the date a Loan is advanced, or in the case of any other Obligation when such Obligation is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), until paid in full by Borrowers (and shall not accrue on the day on which such Loan or Obligation is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall bear interest for 1 day), and shall in no event be less than zero at any time. Interest accrued on the Loans shall be due and payable in arrears, (i) on the first day of each January, April, July and October with respect to a Base Rate Loan, and on the last day of the applicable Interest Period with respect to a BSBY Loan (except, in the case of a BSBY Loan with an Interest Period of more than 90 days’ duration, each day prior to the last day of such Interest Period that occurs at intervals of 90 days’ duration after the first day of such Interest Period); (ii) on any date of prepayment, with respect to the principal amount of Loans being prepaid; and (iii) on the Commitment Termination Date. Interest accrued on any other Obligations shall be due and payable as provided in the Loan Documents and, if no payment date is specified, shall be due and payable on demand.

3.1.2 Application of BSBY to Outstanding Loans.

-49-

(a) Borrowers may on any Business Day, subject to delivery of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, elect to convert any portion of the Base Rate Loans to, or to continue any BSBY Loan at the end of its Interest Period as, a BSBY Loan. During any Default or Event of Default, Administrative Agent may (and shall at the direction of Required Lenders) declare that no Loan may be made, converted to or continued as a BSBY Loan.

(b) Whenever Borrowers desire to convert or continue Loans as BSBY Loans, Borrower Agent shall give Administrative Agent a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, no later than 11:00 a.m. at least 2 Business Days before the requested conversion or continuation date. Promptly after receiving any such notice, Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender thereof. Each Notice of Conversion/Continuation shall be irrevocable, and shall specify the amount of Loans to be converted or continued, the conversion or continuation date (which shall be a Business Day), and the duration of the Interest Period (which shall be deemed to be 30 days if not specified). If, upon the expiration of any Interest Period for any BSBY Loan, Borrowers shall have failed to deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, they shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Loan into a Base Rate Loan. Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept responsibility for, nor shall it have any liability with respect to, administration, submission or any other matter related to any rate used in determining BSBY Rate or with respect to any rate (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the selection of such rate and any related spread or other adjustment) that is an alternate or replacement for or successor to any such rate (including any Successor Rate), or the effect of any of the foregoing, or of any Conforming Changes.

3.1.3 Interest Periods. In connection with the making, conversion or continuation of any BSBY Loans, Borrowers shall select an interest period (“Interest Period”) to apply, which interest period shall be 30, 90 or 180 days (or, with the consent of all Lenders, such other period that is 360 days or less, subject to availability) (in each case, subject to availability); provided, however, that:

(a) the Interest Period shall begin on the date the Loan is made or continued as, or converted into, a BSBY Loan, and shall expire on the numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at its end;

(b) if any Interest Period begins on a day for which there is no corresponding day in the calendar month at its end or if such corresponding day falls after the last Business Day of such month, then the Interest Period shall expire on the last Business Day of such month; and if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day, the period shall expire on the next Business Day; and

(c) no Interest Period shall extend beyond the Termination Date.

3.2. Fees.

3.2.1 Unused Line Fee. Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders, a fee equal to the Unused Line Fee Rate times the amount by which the Commitments exceed the average daily Revolver Usage during any quarter. Such fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears, on the first day of each January, April, July and October and on the Commitment Termination Date.

3.2.2 LC Facility Fees. Borrowers shall pay (a) to Administrative Agent, for the Pro Rata benefit of Lenders, a fee equal to the Applicable Margin for BSBY Loans times the average daily Stated Amount of Letters of Credit, which fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears, on the first day of each January, April, July and October; (b) to the applicable Issuing Bank, for its own account, a fronting fee equal to 0.125% per annum on the Stated Amount of each applicable Letter of Credit, which fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears, on the first day of each January, April, July and October; and (c) to the applicable Issuing Bank, for its own account, all customary fees and charges associated with the issuance, amending, drawing, extending, negotiating, payment, processing, transfer and administration of Letters of Credit, which charges shall be paid as and when incurred. During an Event of Default, the fee payable under clause (a) shall be increased by 2% per annum to the extent the Default Rate is applied pursuant to Section 3.1.1(b) hereof.

-50-

3.2.3 Engagement and Fee Letters. Borrowers shall pay all fees set forth in the Engagement Letter and any fee letters executed by any Obligor, any Arranger and/or Administrative Agent, as applicable, in connection with this Agreement.

3.2.4 Closing Fee. On the Closing Date, the Borrowers shall pay to each Lender a fee in an amount equal to 0.50% on each such Lender’s Commitment on the Closing Date.

3.3. Computation of Interest, Fees, Yield Protection. All interest (other than interest computed by reference to the Base Rate), as well as fees and other charges calculated on a per annum basis, shall be computed for the actual days elapsed, based on a year of 360 days, and interest computed by reference to the Base Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year). Each determination by Administrative Agent of any interest, fees or interest rate hereunder shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. All fees shall be fully earned when due and shall not be subject to rebate, refund or proration. All fees payable under Section 3.2 are compensation for services and are not, and shall not be deemed to be, interest or any other charge for the use, forbearance or detention of money. A certificate as to amounts payable by Borrowers under Section 3.4, 3.6, 3.7, 3.9 or 5.8, submitted to Borrower Agent by Administrative Agent or the affected Lender shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and Borrowers shall pay such amounts to the appropriate party within 10 days following receipt of the certificate.

3.4. Reimbursement Obligations. Borrowers shall pay all Extraordinary Expenses promptly upon request. Borrowers shall also reimburse Administrative Agent, Lead Left Arranger and their respective Affiliates for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal, accounting, appraisal, audit consulting, due diligence, and other fees, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses for travel, lodging and meals for personnel, out-of-pocket examination costs and customary charges for field examinations and the preparation of reports) incurred by Administrative Agent, Lead Left Arranger and their respective Affiliates in connection with (a) syndication and closing of the credit facilities provided for herein (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and charges of one firm of counsel to Administrative Agent, the Lead Left Arranger and their respective Affiliates, taken as a whole, and one firm of local counsel to Administrative Agent, the Lead Left Arranger and their respective Affiliates, taken as a whole, in each appropriate jurisdiction, and in the case of an actual or potential conflict of interest as determined by the affected party, one additional firm of counsel to such affected party and one additional firm of local counsel to such affected party in each appropriate jurisdiction) and negotiation and preparation of any Loan Documents, including any amendment or other modification thereof; (b) administration of and actions relating to any Collateral, Loan Documents and transactions contemplated thereby, including any actions taken to perfect or maintain priority of Administrative Agent’s Liens on any Collateral, to maintain any insurance required hereunder to the extent not maintained by the applicable Obligors as required hereunder or to verify Collateral; and (c) subject to the limits of Section 10.1.1(b), each inspection, audit or appraisal with respect to any Obligor or Collateral, whether prepared by Administrative Agent’s personnel or a third party; provided that reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal fees, disbursements and charges shall be limited to one firm of counsel to Administrative Agent and the Lenders taken as a whole and an additional local law firm in each appropriate jurisdiction and, in the case of an actual or potential conflict of interest as determined by the affected party, one additional firm of counsel to such affected party and one additional firm of local counsel to such affected party in each appropriate jurisdiction. Borrowers acknowledge that counsel may provide Administrative Agent with a benefit (such as a discount, credit or accommodation for other matters) based on counsel’s overall relationship with Administrative Agent, including fees paid hereunder. If, for any reason (including inaccurate reporting in any Borrower Materials or Report), it is determined that a higher Applicable Margin should have applied to a period than was

-51-

actually applied, then the proper margin shall be applied retroactively and Borrowers shall immediately pay to Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest and fees that would have accrued using the proper margin and the amount actually paid for such period. All amounts payable by Borrowers under this Section shall be due on demand.

3.5. Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Applicable Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender to make, maintain, fund or charge applicable interest or fees with respect to any Loan or Letter of Credit, which interest or fee is based on the BSBY Rate, then, on written notice thereof by such Lender to Borrower Agent and Administrative Agent, (a) any obligation of such Lender to make, maintain or fund such Loan or participate in such Letter of Credit (or to charge interest or fees with respect thereto) or to continue or convert Loans as BSBY Loans shall be suspended and (b) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender to make or maintain Base Rate Loans whose interest rate is determined by reference to BSBY Rate, the interest rate applicable to such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall, as necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by Administrative Agent without reference to the BSBY Rate component of Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies Borrower Agent and Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon delivery of such notice, Borrowers shall prepay the applicable Loan, Cash Collateralize the applicable LC Obligations or, if applicable, convert all BSBY Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such BSBY Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such BSBY Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

3.6. Inability to Determine Rates.

3.6.1 Inability to Determine Rate. If in connection with any request for a BSBY Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof, as applicable, (a) Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) no Successor Rate has been determined in accordance with Section 3.6.2, and the circumstances under Section 3.6.2(a) or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable), or (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not otherwise exist for determining BSBY Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed BSBY Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan, or (b) Administrative Agent or Required Lenders determine that for any reason that BSBY Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed BSBY Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, Administrative Agent will promptly so notify Borrowers and Lenders. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of Lenders to make, maintain, or convert Base Rate Loans to, BSBY Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected BSBY Loans or Interest Periods), and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the BSBY Rate component of Base Rate, the utilization of such component in determining Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a determination by Required Lenders described above, until Administrative Agent upon instruction of Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing, conversion or continuation of BSBY Loans (to the extent of the affected BSBY Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for Base Rate Loans, and (ii) any outstanding BSBY Loans shall convert to Base Rate Loans at the end of their respective Interest Periods.

3.6.2 Replacement of BSBY. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, if Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or Borrower Agent or Required Lenders notify Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to Borrowers) that Borrowers or Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:

-52-

(a) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining one month, three month and six month interest periods of BSBY, including because the BSBY Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis, and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or

(b) Bloomberg or any successor administrator of the BSBY Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Administrative Agent, Bloomberg or such administrator has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which one month, three month and six month interest periods of BSBY Rate or the BSBY Screen Rate shall or will no longer be representative or made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans, or shall or will otherwise cease, provided, that, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator satisfactory to Administrative Agent that will continue to provide such representative interest periods of BSBY Rate after such specific date (the latest date on which one month, three month and six month interest periods of BSBY Rate or the BSBY Screen Rate are no longer representative or available permanently or indefinitely, “Scheduled Unavailability Date”);

then, on a date and time determined by Administrative Agent (any such date, “BSBY Replacement Date”), which date shall be at the end of an Interest Period or on the relevant interest payment date, as applicable, for interest calculated and, solely with respect to clause (b) above, no later than the Scheduled Unavailability Date, BSBY Rate will be replaced hereunder and under any other applicable Loan Document with, subject to the proviso below, the first available alternative set forth in the order below for any interest period for interest calculated that can be determined by Administrative Agent, in each case, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document (“Successor Rate”):

(i) Term SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment; and

(ii) Daily Simple SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment;

provided, that if initially BSBY is replaced with Daily Simple SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment and, subsequent to such replacement, Administrative Agent determines that Term SOFR has become available and is administratively feasible for Administrative Agent in its discretion, and Administrative Agent notifies Borrower Agent and Lenders of such availability, then from and after the beginning of the Interest Period, relevant interest payment date or payment period for interest calculated, in each case, commencing no less than 30 days after the date of such notice, the Successor Rate shall be Term SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment. If the Successor Rate is Daily Simple SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment, all interest will be payable on a monthly basis.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (x) if Administrative Agent determines that neither of the alternatives in clauses (i) and (ii) above is available on or prior to the BSBY Replacement Date or (y) if the events or circumstances of the type described in clauses (a) or (b) above have occurred with respect to the Successor Rate then in effect, then in each case, Administrative Agent and Borrower Agent may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing BSBY Rate or any then current Successor Rate in accordance with this Section at the end of any Interest Period, relevant interest payment date or payment period for interest calculated, as applicable, with another alternate benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such benchmarks, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published on an information service selected by Administrative Agent from time to time in its discretion and may be periodically updated. For the avoidance of doubt, any such proposed rate and adjustments shall constitute a Successor Rate. Any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after Administrative Agent posts such proposed amendment to all Lenders and Borrowers unless, prior to such time, Required Lenders deliver to the Administrative Agent written notice that Required Lenders object to the amendment.

-53-

Agent will promptly (in one or more notices) notify Borrowers and Lenders of implementation of any Successor Rate. A Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided, that to the extent market practice is not administratively feasible for Administrative Agent, the Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything else herein, if at any time any Successor Rate as so determined would otherwise be less than 1.00%, the Successor Rate will be deemed to be 1.00% for all purposes of the Loan Documents.

In connection with implementation of a Successor Rate, Administrative Agent may make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement; provided, that with respect to any such amendment effected, Administrative Agent shall post each amendment implementing Conforming Changes to Borrowers and Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.

3.7. Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy.

3.7.1 Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(a) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, liquidity, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in calculating the BSBY Rate) or any Issuing Bank;

(b) subject any Recipient to Taxes (other than (i) Indemnified Taxes, (ii) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, (iii) Connection Income Taxes) and (iv) other Taxes indemnifiable under Section 5.8) with respect to any Loan, Letter of Credit, Commitment or other obligations or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(c) impose on any Lender, any Issuing Bank or interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (in each case, other than Taxes) affecting any Loan, Letter of Credit, participation in LC Obligations, Commitment or Loan Document;

and the result thereof shall be to increase the cost to a Lender of making or maintaining any BSBY Loan, or converting to or continuing any interest option for a BSBY Loan, or to increase the cost to a Lender or an Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by a Lender or an Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or Issuing Bank and the delivery of the certificate contemplated by Section 3.7.4, Borrowers will pay to it such additional amount(s) as will compensate it for the additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

3.7.2 Capital Requirements. If a Lender or an Issuing Bank determines that a Change in Law affecting such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or had the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s, Issuing Bank’s or holding company’s capital as a consequence of this Agreement, or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or participations in LC Obligations or Swingline Loans, to a level below that which such Lender, Issuing Bank or holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time Borrowers will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amounts as will compensate it or its holding company for the reduction suffered; provided that such Lender or such Issuing Bank is generally seeking, or intends generally to seek, compensation from similarly situated borrowers under similar credit facilities (to the extent such Lender or Issuing Bank has the right under such similar credit facilities to do so) with respect to such Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements.

-54-

3.7.3 Compensation. 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 its right to demand such compensation, but Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 9 months (plus any period of retroactivity of the Change in Law giving rise to the demand) prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank notifies Borrower Agent of the applicable Change in Law and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor.

3.7.4 Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or Issuing Bank specifying the Change in Law and setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, and the method for calculating such amount or amounts as specified in Section 3.7.1 or 3.7.2, as applicable, and delivered to Borrower Agent and Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

3.8. Mitigation. If any Lender gives a notice under Section 3.5 or any Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, requests compensation under Section 3.7, or if Borrowers are required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts with respect to a Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, under Section 5.8, then at the request of Borrower Agent, such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender or Issuing Bank, such designation or assignment (a) would eliminate the need for such notice or reduce amounts payable or to be withheld in the future, as applicable; and (b) would not subject the Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to it or unlawful. Borrowers shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

3.9. Funding Losses. If for any reason (other than default by a Lender) (a) any Borrowing, conversion or continuation of a BSBY Loan does not occur on the date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation (whether or not withdrawn), (b) any repayment or conversion of a BSBY Loan occurs on a day other than the end of its Interest Period, (c) Borrowers fail to repay a BSBY Loan when required hereunder, or (d) a Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) is required to assign a BSBY Loan prior to the end of its Interest Period pursuant to Section 14.4, then Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent its customary administrative charge charged in connection therewith and to each Lender all losses, expenses and fees arising from redeployment of funds or termination of match funding incurred as a result of any of the foregoing events. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section and setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount or amounts was determined shall be delivered to Borrower Agent and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

3.10. Maximum Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by Applicable Law (“maximum rate”). If Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the maximum rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Obligations or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to Borrowers. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged or received by Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the maximum rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee or premium rather than interest; (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof; and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

-55-

SECTION 4. LOAN ADMINISTRATION

4.1. Manner of Borrowing and Funding Loans.

4.1.1 Notice of Borrowing.

(a) Whenever Borrowers desire funding of Loans, Borrower Agent shall give Administrative Agent a Notice of Borrowing (or make telephonic or e-mail request in accordance with Section 4.1.4). Such notice must be received by Administrative Agent by 11:00 a.m. (i) on the requested funding date, in the case of Base Rate Loans, and (ii) at least 3 Business Days prior to the requested funding date, in the case of BSBY Loans. Notices received after such time shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and shall specify (A) the amount of the Borrowing, (B) the requested funding date (which must be a Business Day), (C) whether the Borrowing is to be made as a Base Rate Loan or BSBY Loan, and (D) in the case of a BSBY Loan, the applicable Interest Period (which shall be deemed to be 30 days if not specified).

(b) Unless payment is otherwise made by Borrowers, (i) the becoming due of any interest or principal shall be deemed to be a request for a Base Rate Loan on the due date (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods) in the amount due and the Loan proceeds shall be disbursed as direct payment of such interest or principal and (ii) the becoming due of any other Obligation (whether fees or other charges, including Extraordinary Expenses, LC Obligations, Cash Collateral and Secured Bank Product Obligations) shall be deemed to be a request for a Base Rate Loan on the date that is 10 Business Days after the due date and the Loan proceeds shall be disbursed as direct payment of such Obligations. In addition, Administrative Agent may, at its option, charge such amount against any operating, investment or other account of a Borrower maintained with Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates.

(c) If a Borrower maintains a disbursement account with Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates, then presentation for payment in the account of a check, draft or other item of payment payable by any Obligor when there are insufficient funds to cover it shall be deemed to be a request for a Base Rate Loan on the presentation date, in the amount of such check, draft or other item of payment. Proceeds of the Loan may be disbursed directly to the account.

4.1.2 Fundings by Lenders. Except for Borrowings to be made as Swingline Loans, Administrative Agent shall notify Lenders of each Notice of Borrowing (or deemed request for a Borrowing) by 1:00 p.m. on the proposed funding date for a Base Rate Loan or by 3:00 p.m. at least 2 Business Days before a proposed funding of a BSBY Loan. Each Lender shall fund its Pro Rata share of a Borrowing in immediately available funds not later than 3:00 p.m. on the requested funding date. Subject to its receipt of such amounts from Lenders, Administrative Agent shall disburse the Borrowing proceeds received from the Lenders in a manner directed by Borrower Agent and reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent. Unless Administrative Agent shall have received (in sufficient time to act) written notice from a Lender that it will not fund its share of a Borrowing, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has deposited or promptly will deposit its share with Administrative Agent, and Administrative Agent may disburse a corresponding amount to Borrowers. If a Lender’s share of a Borrowing or of a settlement under Section 4.1.3(b) is not received by Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and Borrowers severally agree to repay to Administrative Agent on demand the amount of such share, together with interest thereon from the date disbursed until repaid, at the rate applicable to the Borrowing. A Lender or an Issuing Bank may fulfill its obligations under Loan Documents through one or more Lending Offices, and this shall not affect any obligation of Obligors under the Loan Documents or with respect to any Obligations.

-56-

4.1.3 Swingline Loans; Settlement.

(a) To fulfill any request for a Base Rate Loan hereunder, upon receiving a borrowing request from any Borrower not later than 11:00 a.m. on any Business Day requesting that a Base Rate Loan be made, the Swing Line Lender may in its discretion advance Swingline Loans to such Borrower on the same Business Day such request is received by Swing Line Lender, up to an aggregate outstanding amount of $5,000,000. Swingline Loans shall constitute Loans for all purposes, except that payments thereon shall be made to the Swing Line Lender for its own account until Lenders have funded their participations therein as provided below.

(b) Settlement of Loans, including Swingline Loans, among Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and Administrative Agent shall take place on a date determined from time to time by Administrative Agent (but at least weekly, unless the settlement amount is de minimis), on a Pro Rata basis in accordance with the Settlement Report delivered by Administrative Agent to Lenders. Between settlement dates, Administrative Agent may in its discretion apply payments on Loans to Swingline Loans, regardless of any designation by Borrowers or any provision herein to the contrary. Each Lender hereby purchases, without recourse or warranty, an undivided Pro Rata participation in all Swingline Loans outstanding from time to time until settled. If a Swingline Loan cannot be settled among Lenders, whether due to an Obligor’s Insolvency Proceeding or for any other reason, each Lender shall pay the amount of its participation in the Loan to Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds, within 1 Business Day after Administrative Agent’s request therefor. Lenders’ obligations to make settlements and to fund participations are absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, without offset, counterclaim or other defense, and whether or not the Commitments have terminated, an Overadvance exists or the conditions in Section 6 are satisfied.

(c) Unless Administrative Agent receives notice from Borrowers prior to the date on which a payment is due to Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders or Issuing Bank hereunder that Borrowers will not make such payment, Administrative Agent may assume that Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance on such assumption, distribute to Lenders or Issuing Bank, as applicable, the amount due. With respect to any payment that Administrative Agent makes for the account of Lenders or Issuing Bank hereunder as to which Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that any of the following applies (such payment, a “Rescindable Amount”): (1) Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, (2) Administrative Agent has made a payment in excess of the amount so paid by Borrowers (whether or not then owed), or (3) Administrative Agent has for any reason otherwise erroneously made such payment, then each Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, severally agrees to repay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount so distributed to or otherwise made for the account of such Lender or Issuing Bank, in immediately available funds with interest thereon for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A notice by Administrative Agent to Issuing Bank, any Lender or any Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this clause (c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

4.1.4 Notices. Borrowers may request, convert or continue Loans, select interest rates and transfer funds based on telephonic or e-mailed instructions to Administrative Agent. Borrowers shall confirm each such request by prompt delivery to Administrative Agent of a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, if applicable, but if it differs materially from the action taken by Administrative Agent or Lenders, the records of Administrative Agent and Lenders shall govern. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability for any loss suffered by a Borrower as a result of Administrative Agent or any Lender acting upon its understanding of telephonic or e-mailed instructions from a person reasonably believed in good faith by Administrative Agent or any Lender to be a person authorized to give such instructions on a Borrower’s behalf.

4.2. Defaulting Lender. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary:

-57-

4.2.1 Reallocation of Pro Rata Share; Amendments. For purposes of determining Lenders’ obligations or rights to fund, participate in or receive collections with respect to Loans and Letters of Credit (including existing Swingline Loans, Protective Advances and LC Obligations), Administrative Agent may in its discretion reallocate Pro Rata shares by excluding a Defaulting Lender’s Commitments and Loans from the calculation of shares. A Defaulting Lender shall have no right to vote on any amendment, waiver or other modification of a Loan Document, except as provided in Section 15.1.1(c).

4.2.2 Payments; Fees. To the extent the Borrowers or any other Obligors are required to pay any amounts to a Defaulting Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Documents, Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, receive and retain any amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender under the Loan Documents, and a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have assigned to Administrative Agent such amounts until all Obligations owing to Administrative Agent, non-Defaulting Lenders and other Secured Parties have been paid in full. Administrative Agent may use such amounts to cover the Defaulting Lender’s defaulted obligations, to Cash Collateralize such Lender’s Fronting Exposure, to readvance the amounts to Borrowers or to repay Obligations. A Lender shall not be entitled to receive any fees accruing hereunder while it is a Defaulting Lender and its unfunded Commitment shall be disregarded for purposes of calculating the Unused Line Fee Rate under Section 3.2.1, and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay such Unused Line Fee Rate to such Defaulting Lender (or Administrative Agent for the benefit of such Defaulting Lender). If any LC Obligations owing to a Defaulting Lender are reallocated to other Lenders, fees attributable to such LC Obligations under Section 3.2.2 shall be paid to such Lenders. Administrative Agent shall be paid all fees attributable to LC Obligations that are not reallocated.

4.2.3 Status; Cure. Administrative Agent may determine in its discretion that a Lender constitutes a Defaulting Lender and the effective date of such status shall be conclusive and binding on all parties, absent manifest error. Borrowers, Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank may agree in writing that a Lender has ceased to be a Defaulting Lender, whereupon Pro Rata shares shall be reallocated without exclusion of the reinstated Lender’s Commitments and Loans, and the Revolver Usage and other exposures under the Commitments shall be reallocated among Lenders and settled by Administrative Agent (with appropriate payments by the reinstated Lender, including payment of any breakage costs for reallocated BSBY Loans) in accordance with the readjusted Pro Rata shares; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender. Unless expressly agreed by Borrowers, Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank, or as expressly provided herein with respect to Bail-In Actions and related matters, no reallocation or Commitments and Loans to non-Defaulting Lenders or reinstatement of a Defaulting Lender shall constitute a waiver or release of claims against such Lender. The failure of any Lender to fund a Loan, to make a payment in respect of LC Obligations or otherwise to perform obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations under any Loan Document. No Lender shall be responsible for default by another Lender.

4.3. Number and Amount of BSBY Loans; Determination of Rate. Each Borrowing of BSBY Loans when made shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000, plus an increment of $100,000 in excess thereof. No more than six (6) Borrowings BSBY Loans may be outstanding at any time, and all BSBY Loans having the same length and beginning date of their Interest Periods shall be aggregated together and considered one Borrowing for this purpose. Upon determining the BSBY Rate for any Interest Period requested by Borrowers, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrowers thereof by telephone or electronically and, if requested by Borrowers, shall confirm any telephonic notice in writing.

4.4. Borrower Agent. Each Obligor hereby designates the Company (“Borrower Agent”) as its representative and agent for all purposes under the Loan Documents, including requests for and receipt of Loans and Letters of Credit, designation of interest rates, delivery or receipt of Communications, preparation and delivery of Borrower Materials and Reports, receipt and payment of Obligations, requests for waivers, amendments or other accommodations, actions under the Loan Documents (including in respect of compliance with covenants), and all other dealings with Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank

-58-

or any Lender. Borrower Agent hereby accepts such appointment. Administrative Agent and Lenders shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any notice or communication (including any Notice of Borrowing) delivered by Borrower Agent on behalf of any Obligor. Administrative Agent and Lenders may give any Communication with an Obligor hereunder to Borrower Agent on behalf of such Obligor. Each of Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank and Lenders shall have the right, in its reasonable discretion, to deal exclusively with Borrower Agent for all purposes under the Loan Documents. Each Obligor agrees that any Communication, delivery, representation, agreement, action, omission or undertaking on its behalf by Borrower Agent shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Obligor.

4.5. One Obligation. The Loans, LC Obligations and other Obligations constitute one general obligation of Borrowers and are secured by Administrative Agent’s Lien on all Collateral; provided, however, that Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender shall be deemed to be a creditor of, and the holder of a separate claim against, each Borrower to the extent of any Obligations jointly or severally owed by such Borrower.

4.6. Effect of Termination . On the Commitment Termination Date, the Obligations shall be immediately due and payable (except, in the case of any Secured Bank Product Obligations, as otherwise agreed in writing between any Obligor and/or Restricted Subsidiary (as applicable) and any applicable Secured Bank Product Provider). Until Full Payment of the Obligations, all undertakings of Borrowers contained in the Loan Documents shall continue, and Administrative Agent shall retain its Liens in the Collateral (except as otherwise released in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) and all of its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents. Administrative Agent shall not be required to terminate its Liens unless it receives Cash Collateral or a written agreement, in each case reasonably satisfactory to it, protecting Administrative Agent and Lenders from dishonor or return of any Payment Item previously applied to the Obligations. Sections 2.2, 3.4, 3.6, 3.7, 3.9, 5.4, 5.8, 5.9, 5.10, 13, 15.2, this Section, and each indemnity or waiver given by an Obligor or Lender in any Loan Document, shall survive Full Payment of the Obligations.

4.7. Designated Borrower.

4.7.1 Applicant Borrower. So long as no Default shall have occurred and is continuing or shall result therefrom: Borrower Agent may at any time, upon not less than 10 Business Days’ notice from Borrower Agent to Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as may be agreed by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), designate any additional Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is not already a Designated Borrower (an “Applicant Borrower”) as a Designated Borrower to receive Loans hereunder by delivering to Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver counterparts thereof to each Lender) a duly executed notice and agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit H (a “Designated Borrower Request and Assumption Agreement”); provided that such Restricted Subsidiary shall be a Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiary of the Company and shall remain a Wholly-Owned Domestic Subsidiary of the Company for as long as such Restricted Subsidiary is a Designated Borrower. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Section 4.7.1, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (x) prior to any Applicant Borrower becoming entitled to utilize the credit facilities provided for herein each Lender shall have had 5 Business Days to review such Applicant Borrower’s Designated Borrower Request and Assumption Agreement and notify Administrative Agent in writing of any objection to such Applicant Borrower becoming a Designated Borrower on the basis of such Lender (A) not being permitted to make any Loan to such Designated Borrower under applicable Law or (B) not being able to commit or make such Loan to such Designated Borrower because of adverse tax consequences for such Lender when such Restricted Subsidiary of Borrower Agent becomes a Designated Borrower, (y) Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have received such supporting resolutions, incumbency certificates, opinions of counsel, appraisals and field exams, any documents or instruments required pursuant to Section 10.1.12 and other documents or information (including, without limitation, information and documentation of the type provided under Section 6.1(q), in each case, in form, content and scope reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, as may be required by Administrative Agent in its

-59-

reasonable discretion, and a promissory note signed by such new Borrower to the extent any Lender so requires) and (z) Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have received, in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent and each Lender, all documentation and other information as Administrative Agent or any Lender deems appropriate in connection with applicable “know your customer” and anti-money-laundering rules and regulations, including the Patriot Act and Beneficial Ownership Regulation (such deliverables collectively, the “Applicant Borrower Materials”). If (1) no Lender objects to the addition of an Applicant Borrower as a Designated Borrower as set forth in clause (x) of the preceding sentence, (2) Lenders have cleared all “know your customer” requirements, and (3) Administrative Agent determines in its reasonable discretion that an Applicant Borrower shall be entitled to receive Loans hereunder, then promptly following receipt of all the Applicant Borrower Materials, Administrative Agent shall send a notice in substantially the form of Exhibit I (a “Designated Borrower Notice”) to Borrower Agent and the Lenders specifying the effective date upon which the Applicant Borrower shall constitute a Designated Borrower for purposes hereof, whereupon each of the Lenders agrees to permit such Designated Borrower to receive Loans hereunder, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and each of the parties agrees that such Designated Borrower otherwise shall be a Borrower for all purposes of this Agreement.

4.7.2 Joint and Several. The Obligations of Borrower Agent and each Designated Borrower shall be joint and several in nature.

4.7.3 Confirmation. Each Restricted Subsidiary of Borrower Agent that is or becomes a “Designated Borrower” pursuant to this Section 4.7 hereby irrevocably confirms the appointment and powers of Borrower Agent under Section 4.4 and will become a Guarantor pursuant to Section 10.1.12.

4.7.4 Termination. Borrower Agent may from time to time, upon not less than 10 Business Days’ notice from Borrower Agent to Administrative Agent (or such shorter period as may be agreed by Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion), terminate a Designated Borrower’s status as such, provided that (i) there are no outstanding Loans or Letters of Credit payable by such Designated Borrower, or other amounts payable by such Designated Borrower on account of any Loans made to it, as of the effective date of such termination or (ii) if Revolver Usage exceeds the Line Cap at the time of such termination of status, the Borrowers shall contemporaneously make such prepayments as are required hereunder to eliminate such excess. Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such termination of a Designated Borrower’s status.

SECTION 5. PAYMENTS

5.1. General Payment Provisions. All payments of Obligations shall be made in Dollars, without offset, counterclaim or defense of any kind, and in immediately available funds, not later than noon on the due date. Any payment after such time shall be deemed made on the next Business Day. Any payment of a BSBY Loan prior to the end of its Interest Period shall be accompanied by all amounts due under Section 3.9. Borrowers agree that after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Administrative Agent shall have the continuing, exclusive right to apply and reapply payments and proceeds of Collateral against the Obligations, in such manner as Administrative Agent reasonably deems advisable, but whenever possible, any prepayment of Loans shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans and then to BSBY Loans.

5.2. Repayment of Loans. Loans shall be due and payable in full on the Termination Date, unless payment is sooner required hereunder. Loans may be prepaid from time to time, without penalty or premium. Subject to Section 2.1.5, if an Overadvance exists at any time, Borrowers shall, on the sooner of Administrative Agent’s demand or the first Business Day after any Borrower has knowledge thereof, repay Loans in an amount sufficient to reduce Revolver Usage to the Line Cap.

-60 -

5.3. Payment of Other Obligations. Obligations other than Loans, including LC Obligations and Extraordinary Expenses, shall be paid by Borrowers as provided in the Loan Documents or, if no payment date is specified, on demand.

5.4. Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. None of Administrative Agent or Lenders shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Obligor or against any Obligations. If any payment by or on behalf of Borrowers is made to Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, or if Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender exercises a right of setoff, and any of such payment or setoff is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by Administrative Agent, an Issuing Bank or a Lender in its reasonable discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other Person, then to the extent of such recovery by such trustee, receiver or other Person, the Obligation originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies relating thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or setoff had not occurred.

5.5. Application and Allocation of Payments.

5.5.1 Application. Payments made by Borrowers hereunder shall be applied (a) first, as specifically required hereby; (b) second, to Obligations then due and owing; (c) third, to other Obligations specified by Borrowers; and (d) fourth, as determined by Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion.

5.5.2 Post-Default Allocation. Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, during an Event of Default, monies to be applied to the Obligations, whether arising from payments by Obligors, realization on Collateral, setoff or otherwise, shall be allocated as follows:

(a) first, to all fees, indemnification, costs and expenses (other than fees, costs and expenses constituting Secured Bank Product Obligations), including Extraordinary Expenses, owing to Administrative Agent;

(b) second, to all amounts owing to the Lenders and Administrative Agent on Swingline Loans, Protective Advances, and Loans and participations that a Defaulting Lender has failed to settle or fund;

(c) third, to all amounts owing to Issuing Bank, ratably among each Issuing Bank in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause payable to it;

(d) fourth, to all Obligations (other than Secured Bank Product Obligations) constituting fees, indemnification, costs or expenses owing to Lenders;

(e) fifth, to all Obligations (other than Secured Bank Product Obligations) constituting interest;

(f) sixth, to Cash Collateralize all LC Obligations;

(g) seventh, to all Loans, and to Secured Bank Product Obligations arising under Hedging Agreements (including Cash Collateralization thereof) that are pari passu with the Loans and up to the amount of the Bank Product Reserve existing therefor;

(h) eighth, to all other Secured Bank Product Obligations;

(i) ninth, to all remaining Obligations;

(j) last, the balance, if any, after all Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the Borrowers or as otherwise required by Applicable Law.

-61-

Amounts shall be applied to payment of each category of Obligations only after Full Payment of amounts payable from time to time under all preceding categories. If amounts are insufficient to satisfy a category, they shall be paid ratably among outstanding Obligations in the category. Monies and proceeds obtained from an Obligor shall not be applied to its Excluded Swap Obligations, but appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to amounts obtained from other Obligors to preserve the allocations in any applicable category. Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to calculate the amount of any Secured Bank Product Obligation and may request a reasonably detailed calculation thereof from a Secured Bank Product Provider. If the provider fails to deliver the calculation within 5 days following request, Administrative Agent may assume the amount is zero.

5.5.3 Erroneous Application. Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any application of amounts made by it in good faith and, if any such application is subsequently determined to have been made in error, the sole recourse of any Secured Party or other Person to which such amount should have been paid shall be to recover the amount from the Person that actually received it (and, if such amount was received by a Secured Party, the Secured Party agrees to return it).

5.6. Dominion Account. The ledger balance in each Dominion Account as of the end of a Business Day shall be applied to the Obligations at the beginning of the next Business Day. For the avoidance of doubt, if a credit balance results from such application, it shall not accrue interest in favor of Borrowers and shall be made available to Borrowers as long as no Event of Default exists.

5.7. Account Stated. Administrative Agent shall maintain, in accordance with its customary practices, loan account(s) evidencing the Debt of Borrowers hereunder. Any failure of Administrative Agent to record anything in a loan account, or any error in doing so, shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrowers to pay any amount owing hereunder. Entries made in a loan account shall constitute presumptive evidence of the information contained therein. If any information contained in a loan account is provided to or inspected by any Person, the information shall be conclusive and binding on such Person for all purposes absent manifest error, except to the extent such Person notifies Administrative Agent in writing within 90 days after receipt or inspection that specific information is subject to dispute.

5.8. Taxes.

5.8.1 Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Tax Payment.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any Obligations by Obligors shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding, taking into account information and documentation provided pursuant to Section 5.9.

(b) If a Withholding Agent is required by any Applicable Law to withhold or deduct Taxes from any payment, then (i) the applicable Withholding Agent, to the extent required by Applicable Law, shall apply such withholding or deduction and timely pay the full amount to be withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, and (ii) to the extent the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Obligor shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

-62-

5.8.2 Payment of Other Taxes. Without limiting the foregoing, Borrowers shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at Administrative Agent’s option, timely reimburse Administrative Agent for payment of, any Other Taxes.

5.8.3 Tax Indemnification.

(a) Each Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless, on a joint and several basis, each Recipient against any Indemnified Taxes (including those Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by a Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to a Recipient, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Each Borrower shall make payment within 10 days after demand for any amount or liability payable under this Section. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrowers by a Lender or an Issuing Bank (with a copy to Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of any Recipient, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(b) Each Lender and Issuing Bank shall indemnify and hold harmless, on a several basis, (i) Administrative Agent against any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender or Issuing Bank (but only to the extent Borrowers have not already paid or reimbursed Administrative Agent therefor and without limiting Borrowers’ obligation to do so), (ii) Administrative Agent and Obligors, as applicable, against any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to maintain a Participant register as required hereunder, and (iii) Administrative Agent and Obligors, as applicable, against any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender or Issuing Bank, in each case, that are payable or paid by Administrative Agent or an Obligor in connection with any Obligations, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Each Lender and Issuing Bank shall make payment within 10 days after demand for any amount or liability payable under this Section. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender or any Issuing Bank by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender and Issuing Bank hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or Issuing Bank under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by Administrative Agent to the Lender or Issuing Bank from any other source against any amount due to Administrative Agent under this subsection (b).

5.8.4 Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after payment of Taxes by any Obligor pursuant to this Section, Borrower Agent shall deliver to Administrative Agent a copy of a receipt issued by the appropriate Governmental Authority evidencing the payment, a copy of any return required by Applicable Law to report the payment, or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.

5.8.5 Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by Applicable Law, at no time shall Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, nor have any obligation to pay to any Lender or any Issuing Bank, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of a Lender or an Issuing Bank. If a Recipient determines in its discretion exercised in good faith that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrowers or with respect to which a Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay Borrowers an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrowers with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such Recipient, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that Borrowers agree, upon request by the Recipient, to repay the amount paid over to Borrowers (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Recipient if the Recipient is required to repay such refund to the Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding

-63-

anything herein to the contrary, no Recipient shall be required to pay any amount to Borrowers if such payment would place the Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than it would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. In no event shall Administrative Agent or any other Recipient be required to make its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) available to any Obligor or other Person.

5.8.6 Survival. Each party’s obligations under Sections 5.8 and 5.9 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by or replacement of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, the termination of the Commitments, and the repayment, satisfaction, discharge or Full Payment of any Obligations.

5.9. Lender Tax Information.

5.9.1 Status of Lenders. Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments of Obligations shall deliver to Borrowers and Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrowers or Administrative Agent, properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrowers or Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrowers or Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by Borrowers or Administrative Agent to enable them to determine whether such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such documentation (other than documentation described in Sections 5.9.2(a), (b) and (d)) shall not be required if a Lender reasonably believes delivery of the documentation would subject it to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice its legal or commercial position.

5.9.2 Documentation. Without limiting the foregoing, if any Borrower is a U.S. Person;

(a) Any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrowers and Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender hereunder (and from time to time thereafter upon reasonable request of Borrowers or Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9, certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax;

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

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

(ii) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

-64-

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

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

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

(d) if payment of an Obligation to a Lender would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code), such Lender shall deliver to Borrowers and Administrative Agent at the time(s) prescribed by law and otherwise as reasonably requested by Borrowers or Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrowers or Administrative Agent as may be appropriate for them to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with its obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (d), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date hereof; and

(e) on or before the date on which Bank of America (and any successor or replacement Administrative Agent) becomes Administrative Agent hereunder, it shall deliver to the Borrowers two properly completed and executed copies of either (i) IRS Form W-9, or (ii) IRS Form W-8ECI with respect to any payments to be received on its own behalf and IRS Form W-8IMY (certifying that it is either a “qualified intermediary” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1441-1(e)(5) that has assumed primary withholding obligations under the Code, including Chapters 3 and 4 of the Code, or a “U.S. branch” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv) that is treated as a U.S. Person for purposes of withholding obligations under the Code) for the amounts Administrative Agent receives for the account of others.

5.9.3 Redelivery of Documentation. If any form or certification previously delivered by a Lender or Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, such Lender or Administrative Agent, as applicable shall promptly update the form or certification or notify Borrowers and Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

-65-

5.10. Nature and Extent of Each Borrower’s Liability.

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

5.10.2 Waivers.

(a) Each Borrower expressly waives all rights that it may have now or in the future under any statute, at common law, in equity or otherwise, to compel Administrative Agent or Lenders to marshal assets or to proceed against any Obligor, other Person or security for the payment or performance of any Obligations before, or as a condition to, proceeding against such Borrower. Each Borrower waives all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor other than Full Payment of Obligations and waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any right to revoke any guaranty of Obligations as long as it is a Borrower. It is agreed among each Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders that the provisions of this Section 5.10 are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents and that, but for such provisions, Administrative Agent and Lenders would decline to make Loans and issue Letters of Credit. Each Borrower acknowledges that its guaranty pursuant to this Section is necessary to the conduct and promotion of its business, and can be expected to benefit such business.

(b) Administrative Agent and Lenders may, in their discretion, pursue such rights and remedies as they deem appropriate, including realization upon Collateral by judicial foreclosure or nonjudicial sale or enforcement, without affecting any other rights and remedies under this Section 5.10. If, in taking any action in connection with the exercise of any rights or remedies, Administrative Agent or any Lender shall forfeit any other rights or remedies, including the right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Borrower or other Person, whether because of any Applicable Laws pertaining to “election of remedies” or otherwise, each Borrower consents to such action and waives any claim based upon such action, even if the action may result in loss of any rights of subrogation that any Borrower might otherwise have had. Any election of remedies that results in denial or impairment of the right of Administrative Agent or any Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against any Borrower shall not impair any other Borrower’s obligation to pay the full amount of the Obligations. Each Borrower waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies, such as nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to any security for Obligations, even though that election of remedies destroys such Borrower’s rights of subrogation against any other Person. Administrative Agent may bid Obligations, in whole or part, at any foreclosure, trustee or other sale, including any private sale, and the amount of such bid need not be paid by Administrative Agent but shall be credited against the Obligations. The amount of the successful bid at any such sale, whether Administrative Agent or any other Person is the successful bidder, shall be conclusively deemed to be the fair market value of the Collateral, and the difference between such bid amount and the remaining balance of the Obligations shall be conclusively deemed to be the amount of the Obligations guaranteed under this Section 5.10, notwithstanding that any present or future law or court decision may have the effect of reducing the amount of any deficiency claim to which Administrative Agent or any Lender might otherwise be entitled but for such bidding at any such sale.

5.10.3 Extent of Liability; Contribution.

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Borrower’s liability under this Section 5.10 shall not exceed the greater of (i) all amounts for which such Borrower is primarily liable, as described in clause (c) below, and (ii) such Borrower’s Allocable Amount.

(b) If any Borrower makes a payment under this Section 5.10 of any Obligations (other than amounts for which such Borrower is primarily liable) (a “Guarantor Payment”) that, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments previously or concurrently made by any other Borrower, exceeds the amount that such Borrower would otherwise have paid if each Borrower had paid the aggregate Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payments in the same proportion that such Borrower’s Allocable Amount bore to the total Allocable Amounts of all Borrowers, then such Borrower shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and to be reimbursed by, each other Borrower for the amount of such excess, ratably based on their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment. The “Allocable Amount” for any Borrower shall be the maximum amount that could then be recovered from such Borrower under this Section 5.10 without rendering such payment voidable under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state fraudulent transfer or conveyance act, or similar statute or common law.

(c) Section 5.10.3(a) shall not limit the liability of any Borrower to pay or guarantee Loans made directly or indirectly to it (including Loans advanced hereunder to any other Person and then re-loaned or otherwise transferred to, or for the benefit of, such Borrower), LC Obligations relating to Letters of Credit issued to support its business, Secured Bank Product Obligations incurred to support its business, and all accrued interest, fees, expenses and other related Obligations with respect thereto, for which such Borrower shall be primarily liable for all purposes hereunder.

(d) Each Obligor that is a Qualified ECP when its guaranty of or grant of Lien as security for a Swap Obligation becomes effective hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide funds or other support to each Specified Obligor with respect to such Swap Obligation as may be needed by such Specified Obligor from time to time to honor all of its Obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of such Swap Obligation (but, in each case, only up to the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering such Qualified ECP’s obligations and undertakings under this Section 5.10 voidable under any applicable fraudulent transfer or conveyance act). The obligations and undertakings of each Qualified ECP under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until Full Payment of all Obligations. Each Qualified ECP intends this Section to constitute, and this Section shall be deemed to constitute, a guarantee of the obligations of, and a “keepwell, support or other agreement” for the benefit of, each Obligor for all purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act.

5.10.4 Joint Enterprise. Each Borrower has requested that Administrative Agent and Lenders make this credit facility available to Borrowers on a combined basis, in order to finance Borrowers’ business most efficiently and economically. Borrowers’ business is a mutual and collective enterprise, and the successful operation of each Borrower is dependent upon the successful performance of the integrated group. Borrowers believe that consolidation of their credit facility will enhance the borrowing power of each Borrower and ease administration of the facility, all to their mutual advantage. Borrowers acknowledge that Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ willingness to extend credit and to administer the Collateral on a combined basis hereunder is done solely as an accommodation to Borrowers and at Borrowers’ request.

-67-

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

SECTION 7. COLLATERAL

7.1. Grant of Security Interest. To secure the prompt payment and performance of the Obligations (including all obligations of the Guarantors), each Obligor hereby grants to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Secured Parties, a continuing security interest in and Lien upon all of the following Property of such Obligor, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, and wherever located:

(c) General Intangibles (excluding Intellectual Property), to the extent relating to Accounts and Inventory;

(i) all books, records, ledger cards, files, correspondence, customer lists, blueprints, technical specifications, manuals, computer software, computer printouts, tapes, disks and other electronic storage media and related data processing software and similar items that at any time evidence or contain information relating to any of the Collateral or are otherwise necessary or helpful in the collection thereof or realization thereupon; and

(j) all products and proceeds of the foregoing, in any form, including insurance proceeds and all claims against third parties for loss or damage to, destruction of, business interruption in relation to, or other involuntary conversion of any kind or nature of any or all of the other Collateral.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the security interest or Lien attach to, or the term “Collateral” be deemed to include, any Excluded Property.

7.2. Deposit Accounts; Securities Accounts; Commodity Accounts; Cash Collateral.

7.2.1 Deposit Accounts; Securities Accounts; Commodity Accounts. Each Obligor hereby authorizes and directs each bank or other depository or securities intermediary to deliver to Administrative Agent, upon request of Administrative Agent, all balances in any Deposit Account, Securities Account and Commodity Account maintained for such Obligor that constitutes Collateral, in accordance with the applicable control agreement between such Obligor, Administrative Agent and such bank or other depository or securities intermediary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent may issue such request at any time (it being understood that the Administrative Agent is directed by the Lenders to and shall provide such request on the Second Amendment Effective Date).

7.2.2 Cash Collateral. Cash Collateral may be invested, at Administrative Agent’s reasonable discretion (and with the consent of Borrower Agent, as long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), but Administrative Agent shall have no duty to do so, regardless of any agreement or course of dealing with any Obligor, and shall have no responsibility for any investment or loss. As security for the Obligations, each Obligor hereby grants to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Secured Parties, a security interest in and Lien upon all Cash Collateral held from time to time and all proceeds thereof, whether held in a Cash Collateral Account or otherwise. Upon a drawing on any Letter of Credit for which funds are on deposit as Cash Collateral, such funds shall be applied, to the extent permitted under Applicable Law, to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank. To the extent not applied in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral to the payment of such Obligations as they become due, in such order as Administrative Agent may elect. Each Cash Collateral Account and all Cash Collateral shall be under the sole dominion and control of Administrative Agent, and no Obligor or other Person shall have any right to any Cash Collateral, until Full Payment of the Obligations.

7.3. Other Collateral.

7.3.1 Certain After-Acquired Collateral. Obligors shall promptly notify Administrative Agent in writing if, after the Closing Date, any Obligor obtains any interest in any Collateral consisting of Investment Property, Chattel Paper, Documents, or Instruments, in each case, constituting Collateral with an individual value of or face amount in excess of $1,000,000, and, upon Administrative Agent’s written

-72-

request, shall promptly take such actions as Administrative Agent reasonably deems appropriate to effect Administrative Agent’s duly perfected, first priority Lien upon such Collateral, including obtaining any appropriate possession or control agreement or using its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any Lien Waiver. If any Collateral is in the possession of a third party, at Administrative Agent’s written request, Obligors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an acknowledgment that such third party holds the Collateral for the benefit of Administrative Agent.

7.4. Limitations. The Lien on Collateral granted hereunder is given as security only and shall not subject Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to, or in any way modify, any obligation or liability of Obligors relating to any Collateral. In no event shall the grant of any Lien under any Loan Document secure an Excluded Swap Obligation of the granting Obligor.

7.5. Further Assurances. All Liens granted to Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents are for the benefit of Secured Parties. Promptly upon reasonable, written request, Obligors shall deliver such instruments and agreements, and shall take such actions, as Administrative Agent deems reasonably appropriate under Applicable Law to evidence or perfect its Lien on any Collateral, or otherwise to give effect to the intent of this Agreement. Each Obligor authorizes Administrative Agent to file any financing statement that describes the Collateral in the same manner as described herein (or by any other description which reasonably approximates the description contained in this Agreement) and ratifies any action taken by Administrative Agent before the Closing Date to effect or perfect its Lien on any Collateral.

7.6. Collateral Rights Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Liens and security interests granted to Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by Administrative Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Collateral Rights Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Collateral Rights Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Collateral Rights Agreement shall govern and control.

SECTION 8. COLLATERAL ADMINISTRATION

8.1. Borrowing Base Reports.

8.1.1 Delivery. Borrowers shall deliver to Administrative Agent (and Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver same to Lenders) a Borrowing Base Report (i) as of the close of business of the previous Fiscal Quarter by the 25th day of each Fiscal Quarter, (ii) if any Loans or Letters of Credit are outstanding, as of the close of business of the previous month by the 25th day of each month, and (iii) during any Borrowing Base Reporting Trigger Period, as of the close of business of the previous week by the third Business Day of each week. All information (including calculation of Excess Availability and/or the Line Cap) in a Borrowing Base Report shall be certified by Borrower Agent. Administrative Agent, in its Permitted Discretion, may from time to time adjust any such report (a) to reflect Administrative Agent’s reasonable estimate of declines in value of Collateral, due to collections received in any Dominion Account or otherwise; (b) to adjust advance rates to reflect changes in dilution, quality, mix and other factors affecting Collateral; and (c) to the extent any information or calculation does not comply with this Agreement.

8.1.2 Availability Reserves. Administrative Agent shall have the right, at any time and from time to time after the Closing Date in its Permitted Discretion to establish, modify or eliminate Availability Reserves upon at least 3 Business Days’ prior written notice (which may be by email) to Borrower Agent, which notice shall include a description of such Availability Reserve being established (during which period Administrative Agent shall, if requested, discuss any such Availability Reserve or change with Borrower Agent and Borrower Agent may take such action as may be required so that the event, condition or matter that is the basis for such Availability Reserve or change no longer exists or exists in a manner that would result in the establishment of a lower Availability Reserve or result in a lesser change, in each case, in a manner and to the extent reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent);

-73-

provided, that such notice and opportunity shall not limit the right of Administrative Agent to establish or change such Availability Reserve; provided further that, in no event shall such prior notice be required for (a) changes to any Availability Reserves resulting solely by virtue of mathematical calculations of the amount of the Availability Reserve in accordance with the methodology of calculation previously utilized, or (b) changes to Availability Reserves or establishment of additional Availability Reserves if it would be reasonably likely that a Material Adverse Effect would occur were such Availability Reserve not changed or established prior to the expiration of such 3 Business Day period or (c) changes to Availability Reserves when a Default or Event of Default exists. Promptly after Administrative Agent has knowledge that the event, condition or matter which is the basis for the establishment of a new Availability Reserve no longer exists, Administrative Agent shall eliminate such Availability Reserve. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (i) except with respect to the Excess Availability Reserve component of Availability Reserve, the amount of any Availability Reserve (or change in Availability Reserve) shall have a reasonable relationship to the event, condition or other matter that is the basis for such Availability Reserve or change, (ii) except with respect to the Excess Availability Reserve component of Availability Reserve, in no event shall any Availability Reserve (or change in Availability Reserve) with respect to any component of the Borrowing Base duplicate any Availability Reserve or adjustment already expressly accounted for through eligibility criteria and (iii) the Excess Availability Reserve component of any Availability Reserve shall not be subject to the other requirements of this Section 8.1.2, including any prior notice period before a change therein shall establish, modify or eliminate Availability Reserves.

8.2. Accounts.

8.2.1 Records and Schedules of Accounts. Each Borrower shall keep accurate and complete records of its Accounts in all material respects, including all payments and collections thereon, and shall submit to Administrative Agent copies of sales, collection, reconciliation and other similar reports in form reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, on such periodic basis as Administrative Agent may reasonably request. Each Borrower shall also provide to Administrative Agent, on or before (i) the 25th day after the end of each Fiscal Quarter, (ii) during any period that any Loans or Letters of Credit are outstanding, the 25th day after the end of each month (iii) and, during any Borrowing Base Reporting Trigger Period, by the third Business Day of each week, a reasonably detailed aged trial balance of all Accounts (including all invoices aged by due date), as applicable, (x) as of the end of the preceding Fiscal Quarter, (y) during any period that any Loans or Letters of Credit are outstanding, as of the end the preceding month, (z) and, during any Borrowing Base Reporting Trigger Period, as of the end of the preceding week, specifying each Account’s Account Debtor name and address, amount, invoice date and due date, showing any discount, allowance, credit, authorized return or dispute, and including such proof of delivery, copies of invoices and invoice registers, copies of related documents, repayment histories, status reports and other information as Administrative Agent may reasonably request. If any Account in an aggregate face amount of $5,000,000 or more ceases to be an Eligible Accounts Receivable, Borrowers shall notify Administrative Agent of such occurrence promptly (and in any event within 5 Business Days) after any Borrower has knowledge thereof.

8.2.2 Taxes. If an Account of any Borrower constituting Collateral includes a charge for any Taxes (in each case to the extent such Taxes are then due and payable (except if being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings being diligently conducted and for which adequate reserves have been provided in accordance with GAAP) and which have priority over the Liens of Administrative Agent in such Accounts), Administrative Agent is authorized, during the continuance of an Event of Default, in its reasonable discretion, to pay the amount thereof to the proper taxing authority for the account of such Borrower and to charge Borrowers therefor; provided, however, that neither Administrative Agent nor Lenders shall be liable for any Taxes that may be due from Borrowers or with respect to any Collateral.

-74-

8.2.3 Account Verification. Whether or not a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Administrative Agent shall have the right at any time, in the name of Administrative Agent, any designee of Administrative Agent or any Borrower, to verify the validity, amount or any other matter relating to any Accounts of Borrowers by mail, telephone or otherwise; provided that Administrative Agent shall take such action in the name of Administrative Agent only while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Borrowers shall reasonably cooperate fully with Administrative Agent in an effort to facilitate and promptly conclude any such verification process.

8.2.4 Maintenance of Dominion Accounts. Borrowers shall maintain Dominion Accounts pursuant to lockbox or other arrangements reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent. Borrowers shall obtain an agreement (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent) from each lockbox servicer and Dominion Account bank, establishing Administrative Agent’s control over and Lien in the lockbox or Dominion Account, which may be exercised by Administrative Agent at any time (it being understood that the Administrative Agent is directed by the Lenders to and shall exercise such control on the Second Amendment Effective Date), requiring immediate deposit of all remittances received in the lockbox to a Dominion Account, and waiving offset rights of such servicer or bank, except for customary administrative charges. All Dominion Accounts shall be maintained with Bank of America, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates. Administrative Agent and Lenders assume no responsibility to Borrowers for any lockbox arrangement or Dominion Account, including any claim of accord and satisfaction or release with respect to any Payment Items accepted by any bank.

8.2.5 Proceeds of Collateral. Borrowers shall request in writing and otherwise take all reasonably necessary steps to ensure that all payments on Accounts or otherwise relating to the Collateral are made directly to a Dominion Account (or a lockbox relating to a Dominion Account).

SECTION 11. GUARANTY

11.1. Guaranty. For value received, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and in consideration of credit and/or financial accommodation heretofore or hereafter from time to time made or granted to the Borrowers and the other Obligors by the Secured Parties, each Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, the full and prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, upon acceleration, demand or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Guaranteed Obligations (as hereafter defined) and the punctual performance of all of the terms contained in the documents executed by such Guarantor in favor of one or more Secured Parties in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations. This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and performance and is not merely a guaranty of collection. As used herein, the term “Guaranteed Obligations” means any and all existing and future Obligations of any Obligor to any Secured Party, whether associated with any credit or other financial accommodation made to or for the benefit of any Obligor by any Secured Party or otherwise and whenever created, arising, evidenced or acquired (including all renewals, extensions, increases, amendments, modifications, refinancings and other modifications thereof and all costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Secured Parties in connection with the collection or enforcement thereof); provided, however, that the definition of “Guaranteed Obligations” shall not create any guarantee by any Guarantor of (or grant of security interest by any Guarantor to support, as applicable) any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Guarantor for purposes of determining any obligations of any Guarantor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guaranteed Obligations shall include any such indebtedness, obligations, and liabilities which may be or hereafter become unenforceable or shall be an allowed or disallowed claim under any proceeding or case commenced by or against any Guarantor or any Obligor under the Bankruptcy Code, any successor statute or any other liquidation, conservatorship, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, moratorium, rearrangement, receivership, insolvency, reorganization, or similar debtor relief laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdictions from time to time in effect and affecting the rights of creditors generally (collectively, “Debtor Relief Laws”), and shall include interest that accrues after the commencement by or against any Obligor of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder at any time shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of any similar federal or state law.

11.2. No Setoff or Deductions; Taxes; Payments. Each Guarantor shall make all payments hereunder without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction for any levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings, compulsory loans, restrictions or conditions of any nature (other than Taxes, which shall be governed by Section 5.8) now or hereafter imposed or levied by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof or authority therein unless such Guarantor is compelled by law to make such deduction or withholding. If any such obligation (other than one arising with respect to Taxes) is imposed upon a Guarantor with respect to any amount payable by it hereunder, such Guarantor will pay to the applicable Secured Party, on the date on which such amount is due and payable hereunder, such additional amount in U.S. dollars as shall be necessary to enable such Secured Party to receive the same net amount which such Secured Party would have received on such due date had no such obligation been imposed upon such Guarantor. Each Guarantor will deliver promptly to such Secured Party certificates or other valid vouchers for all charges deducted from or paid with respect to payments made by such Guarantor hereunder. The obligations of each Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and termination of this Guaranty.

-105-

11.3. Rights of Secured Parties. Each Guarantor consents and agrees that the Secured Parties may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof: (a) amend (including increase), modify, extend, renew, compromise, discharge, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof; (b) take, hold, exchange, enforce, waive, release, fail to perfect, sell, or otherwise dispose of any security for the payment of this Guaranty or any Guaranteed Obligations; (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Secured Parties in their sole discretion may determine; and (d) release or substitute one or more of any endorsers or other guarantors of any of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor consents to the taking of, or failure to take, any action which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of such Guarantor under this Guaranty or which, but for this provision, might operate as a discharge of such Guarantor.

11.4. Certain Waivers. Each Guarantor waives to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law (a) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any Obligor or any other guarantor, or the cessation from any cause whatsoever (including any act or omission of any Secured Party) of the liability of any Obligor; (b) any defense based on any claim that such Guarantor’s obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of any Borrower or any other Obligor; (c) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder; (d) any right to require any Secured Party to proceed against any Borrower or any other Obligor, proceed against or exhaust any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, or pursue any other remedy in any Secured Party’s power whatsoever and any defense based upon the doctrines of marshalling of assets or of election of remedies; (e) any benefit of and any right to participate in any security now or hereafter held by any Secured Party; (f) any defense relating to the failure of any Secured Party to comply with the Applicable Laws in connection with the sale or other disposition of Collateral for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; (g) any amendment or waiver of the term of any Guaranteed Obligation; (h) any law or regulation of any jurisdiction or any other event affecting any term of a Guaranteed Obligation; (i) any fact or circumstance related to the Guaranteed Obligations which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty and (j) any and all other defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by Applicable Law limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties, other than the defense that the Guaranteed Obligations have been fully performed and indefeasibly paid in full in cash.

Each Guarantor expressly waives all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for payment or performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, and all notices of acceptance of this Guaranty or of the existence, creation or incurrence of new or additional Guaranteed Obligations. This Guaranty shall not be affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any instrument or agreement evidencing any Guaranteed Obligations, or by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection, non-perfection or extent of any Collateral therefor, or by any fact or circumstance relating to the Guaranteed Obligations which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of any Guarantor under this Guaranty, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to any or all of the foregoing.

11.5. Obligations Independent. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are those of primary obligor, and not merely as surety, and are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations and the obligations of any other guarantor, and a separate action may be brought against each Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty whether or not the Borrowers or any other Person is joined as a party.

-106-

11.6. Subrogation. No Guarantor shall exercise any right of subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or similar rights with respect to any payments it makes under this Guaranty until Full Payment of all Guaranteed Obligations and any amounts payable under this Guaranty. If any amounts are paid to any Guarantor in violation of the foregoing limitation, then such amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid to Administrative Agent (for the benefit of itself and the other Secured Parties) to reduce the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.

11.7. Termination; Reinstatement. This Guaranty is a continuing and irrevocable guaranty of all Guaranteed Obligations now or hereafter existing and shall remain in full force and effect until Full Payment of all Guaranteed Obligations and any amounts payable under this Guaranty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect or be revived, as the case may be, if any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower or any Guarantor is made, or any Secured Party exercises its right of setoff, in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by any Secured Party in its reasonable discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws or otherwise, all as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and whether or not such Secured Party is in possession of or has released this Guaranty and regardless of any prior revocation, rescission, termination or reduction. The obligations of each Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive termination of this Guaranty.

11.8. Subordination. Each Guarantor hereby subordinates the payment of all obligations and indebtedness of any Obligor owing to such Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, including but not limited to any obligation of any Obligor to such Guarantor as subrogee of any Secured Party or resulting from such Guarantor’s performance under this Guaranty, to the Full Payment of all Guaranteed Obligations. If Administrative Agent so requests, any such obligation or indebtedness of any Obligor to any Guarantor shall be enforced and performance received by such Guarantor as trustee for Administrative Agent and the proceeds thereof, as well as any other amounts received by such Guarantor in violation of this Section, shall be paid over to Administrative Agent on account of the Guaranteed Obligations, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under this Guaranty.

11.9. Stay of Acceleration. In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed, in connection with any case commenced by or against any Guarantor or any Obligor under any Debtor Relief Laws, or otherwise, all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by any Guarantor immediately upon demand by Administrative Agent.

11.10. Expenses. Each Guarantor shall pay on demand all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses in any way relating to the enforcement or protection of any Secured Party’s rights under this Guaranty or in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including any incurred during any “workout” or restructuring in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations and any incurred in the preservation, protection or enforcement of any rights of any Secured Party in any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws. The obligations of each Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive the Full Payment of the Guaranteed Obligations and termination of this Guaranty.

11.11. Miscellaneous. Administrative Agent’s books and records showing the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding, and shall be binding upon each Guarantor and conclusive, absent manifest error, for the purpose of establishing the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations. No failure by any Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law or in equity. The unenforceability or invalidity of any provision of this Guaranty shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision herein. Unless otherwise agreed by Administrative Agent and each Guarantor in writing, this Guaranty is not intended to supersede or otherwise affect any other guaranty now or hereafter given by any Guarantor or any other guarantor for the benefit of the Secured Parties or any term or provision thereof.

-107-

11.12. Condition of Obligors. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it has the sole responsibility for, and has adequate means of, obtaining from the Borrowers and the other Obligors and any other guarantor such information concerning the financial condition, business and operations of the Obligors and any such other guarantor as each Guarantor requires, and that the Secured Parties have no duty, and each Guarantor is not relying on any Secured Party at any time, to disclose to such Guarantor any information relating to the business, operations or financial condition of the Obligors or any other guarantor (the guarantor waiving any duty on the part of any Secured Party to disclose such information and any defense relating to the failure to provide the same).

11.13. Additional Guarantors. Each Person that is required to become a party to this Guaranty pursuant to Section 10.1.12 shall become a Guarantor for all purposes of this Guaranty upon execution and delivery by such Person of a supplement in form reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.

Each Obligor agrees that 10 days’ notice of any proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral by Administrative Agent shall be reasonable, and that any sale conducted on the internet or to a licensor of Intellectual Property shall be commercially reasonable. Administrative Agent may conduct sales on any Obligor’s premises, without charge, and any sale may be adjourned from time to time in accordance with Applicable Law. Administrative Agent shall have the right to sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any Collateral for cash, credit or any combination thereof, and Administrative Agent may purchase any Collateral at public or, if permitted by law, private sale and, in lieu of actual payment of the purchase price, may credit bid and set off the amount of such price against the Obligations.

12.3. License. Administrative Agent is hereby granted an irrevocable, non-exclusive license or other right to use, license or sub-license (without payment of royalty or other compensation to any Person) any or all Intellectual Property of Obligors, computer hardware and software, trade secrets, brochures, customer lists, promotional and advertising materials, labels, packaging materials and other Property, in advertising for sale, marketing, selling, collecting, completing manufacture of, or otherwise exercising any rights or remedies with respect to, any Collateral.

The rights of Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, each Lender and each such Affiliate under this Section 12.4 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Person may have.

12.5. Remedies Cumulative; No Waiver.

12.5.1 Cumulative Rights. All agreements, warranties, guaranties, indemnities and other undertakings of the Obligors under the Loan Documents are cumulative and not in derogation of each other. The rights and remedies of Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, the Lenders and any other Secured Party under the Loan Documents are cumulative, may be exercised at any time and from time to time, concurrently or in any order, and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies available by agreement, by law, at equity or otherwise. All such rights and remedies shall continue in full force and effect until Full Payment of all Obligations.

SECTION 13. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

13.1. Appointment, Authority and Duties of Administrative Agent.

13.1.1 Appointment and Authority. Each Secured Party appoints and designates Bank of America as Administrative Agent under all Loan Documents. Administrative Agent may, and each Secured Party authorizes Administrative Agent to, enter into all Loan Documents to which Administrative Agent is intended to be a party and accept all Security Documents. Any action taken by Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, and the exercise by Administrative Agent of any rights or remedies set forth therein, together with all other powers reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized by and binding upon all Secured Parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent shall have the sole and exclusive authority to (a) act as the disbursing and collecting agent for Secured Parties with respect to all payments and collections arising in connection with the Loan Documents; (b) execute and deliver, as Administrative Agent, each Loan Document, including the Collateral Rights Agreement and any intercreditor or subordination agreement, and accept delivery of each Loan Document; (c) act as collateral agent for Secured Parties for purposes of perfecting and administering Liens under the Loan Documents, and for all other purposes stated therein; (d) manage, supervise or otherwise deal with Collateral; and (e) take any Enforcement Action or otherwise exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral or under any Loan Documents, Applicable Law or otherwise. Administrative Agent alone shall be authorized to determine eligibility and applicable advance rates under the Borrowing Base in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, whether to impose or release any reserve, or whether any conditions to funding or issuance of a Letter of Credit have been satisfied, which determinations and judgments, if exercised in good faith, shall exonerate Administrative Agent from liability to any Secured Party or other Person for any error in judgment. Each Secured Party, and Obligors and their Subsidiaries and Affiliates, acknowledge that Bank of America serves as Agent and may, from time to time, be a Lender hereunder, while at the same time acting in such capacities, or its Affiliates providing financial services to, Spartan Energy Services LLC and its affiliates. Each Secured Party, and Obligors and their Subsidiaries and affiliates, hereby waive any objection or claim against Bank of America (or its Affiliates or counsel) based on any alleged conflict of interest or breach of duties arising from Bank of America serving as Agent and Lender at the same time as serving in, or its Affiliates serving in, any of the other capacities described herein. In addition to the foregoing, each Secured Party hereby irrevocably authorizes Administrative Agent, at Administrative Agent’s option and reasonable discretion, to enter into, or amend, the Collateral Rights Agreements (or similar agreements with the same or similar purpose). Any such Collateral Rights Agreements entered into by Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties shall be binding upon each Secured Party. Each Lender (and each Person that becomes a Lender hereunder pursuant to Section 14.3) and each other Secured Party hereby authorizes and directs Administrative Agent to enter into the Collateral Rights Agreements on behalf of such Secured Party and agrees that Administrative Agent may take such actions on its behalf as is contemplated by the terms of each Collateral Rights Agreement. Administrative Agent shall notify the Secured Parties of the effectiveness of the Collateral Rights Agreement when executed and shall provide a copy of the executed Collateral Rights Agreement to the Secured Parties as and when effective.

13.1.2 Duties. The title of “Administrative Agent” is used solely as a matter of market custom and the duties of Administrative Agent are administrative in nature only. Administrative Agent has no duties except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, and in no event does Administrative Agent have any agency, fiduciary or implied duty to or relationship with any Secured Party or other Person by reason of any Loan Document or related transaction. The conferral upon Administrative Agent of any right shall not imply a duty to exercise such right, unless instructed to do so by Required Lenders in accordance with this Agreement.

-112-

13.1.3 Agent Professionals. Administrative Agent may perform its duties through agents and employees. Administrative Agent may consult with and employ Agent Professionals, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in any action taken in good faith reliance upon, any advice given by an Agent Professional. Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents, employees or Agent Professionals selected by it with reasonable care.

13.1.4 Instructions of Required Lenders. The rights and remedies conferred upon Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents may be exercised without the necessity of joining any other party, unless required by Applicable Law. In determining compliance with a condition for any action hereunder, including satisfaction of any condition in Section 6, Administrative Agent may presume that the condition is satisfactory to a Secured Party unless Administrative Agent has received notice to the contrary from such Secured Party before Administrative Agent takes the action. Administrative Agent may request instructions from Required Lenders or other Secured Parties with respect to any act (including the failure to act) in connection with any Loan Documents or Collateral, and may seek assurances to its satisfaction from Secured Parties of their indemnification obligations against Claims that could be incurred by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may refrain from any act until it has received such instructions or assurances, and shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Instructions of Required Lenders shall be binding upon all Secured Parties, and no Secured Party shall have any right of action whatsoever against Administrative Agent as a result of Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting pursuant to instructions of Required Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, instructions by and consent of specific parties shall be required to the extent provided in Section 15.1.1. In no event shall Administrative Agent be required to take any action that it determines in its discretion is contrary to Applicable Law or any Loan Documents or could subject any Agent Indemnitee to liability.

13.2. Agreements Regarding Collateral and Borrower Materials.

13.2.1 Lien Releases; Care of Collateral. Secured Parties authorize Administrative Agent to release any Lien with respect to any Collateral (a) upon Full Payment of the Obligations; (b) that is the subject of a disposition or Lien that Borrower Agent certifies in writing is a Disposition permitted pursuant to Section 10.2.9 or a Permitted Lien entitled to priority over Administrative Agent’s Liens or another transaction requiring release of such Lien which is expressly permitted under the Loan Documents (and Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate without further inquiry); (c) that does not constitute a material part of the Collateral that Borrower Agent certifies in writing as such (and Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on such certificate without further inquiry); (d) upon a Subsidiary becoming an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents; or (e) subject to Section 15.1.1, with the consent of Required Lenders. Secured Parties authorize Administrative Agent to subordinate its Liens to any Lien permitted under Section 10.2.2(i) or other Lien entitled to priority hereunder. Administrative Agent has no obligation to assure that any Collateral exists or is owned by an Obligor, or is cared for, protected or insured, nor to assure that Administrative Agent’s Liens have been properly created, perfected or enforced, or are entitled to any particular priority, nor to exercise any duty of care with respect to any Collateral.

13.2.2 Possession of Collateral. Administrative Agent and Secured Parties appoint each Lender as agent (for the benefit of Secured Parties) for the purpose of perfecting Liens in any Collateral held or controlled by such Lender, to the extent such Liens are perfected by possession or control. If any Lender obtains possession or control of any Collateral, it shall notify Administrative Agent thereof and, promptly upon Administrative Agent’s request, deliver such Collateral to Administrative Agent or otherwise deal with it in accordance with Administrative Agent’s instructions.

13.2.3 Reports. Administrative Agent shall promptly provide to Lenders, when complete, any field examination, audit or appraisal report prepared for Administrative Agent with respect to any Obligor or Collateral (“Report”). Reports and other Borrower Materials may be made available to Lenders by providing access to them on the Platform, but Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for system

-113-

failures or access issues that may occur from time to time. Each Lender agrees (a) that Reports are not intended to be comprehensive audits or examinations, and that Administrative Agent or any other Person performing an audit or examination will inspect only limited information and will rely significantly upon Borrowers’ books, records and representations; (b) that Administrative Agent makes no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of any Borrower Materials or any Report and shall not be liable for any information contained in or omitted from any Borrower Materials or any Report; and (c) to keep all Borrower Materials and Reports confidential and strictly for such Lender’s internal use, not to distribute any Report or Borrower Materials (or the contents thereof) to any Person (except to such Lender’s Participants, attorneys and accountants), and to use all Borrower Materials and Reports solely for administration of the Obligations. Each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless Administrative Agent and any other Person preparing a Report from any action such Lender may take as a result of or any conclusion it may draw from any Borrower Materials, as well as from any Claims arising as a direct or indirect result of Administrative Agent furnishing same to such Lender, via the Platform or otherwise.

13.3. Reliance By Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any Communication (including those by telephone, telex, telegram, telecopy, e-mail, Electronic Record, Electronic Signature or other electronic means) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person. Administrative Agent shall have a reasonable and practicable amount of time to act upon any Communication under any Loan Document in accordance with this Agreement, and shall not be liable for any reasonable delay in acting.

13.4. Action Upon Default. Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default, or of any failure to satisfy any conditions in Section 6, unless it has received written notice from a Borrower or Required Lenders specifying the occurrence and nature thereof. If any Lender acquires knowledge of a Default, Event of Default or failure of any such conditions, it shall promptly notify Administrative Agent and the other Lenders thereof in writing. Each Secured Party (other than Administrative Agent) agrees that, except as otherwise provided in any Loan Documents or with the written consent of Administrative Agent and Required Lenders, it will not take any Enforcement Action, accelerate Obligations (other than Secured Bank Product Obligations) or assert any rights relating to any Collateral.

13.5. Ratable Sharing. If any Lender obtains any payment or reduction of any Obligation, whether through set-off or otherwise, in excess of its ratable share of such Obligation, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from Secured Parties participations in the affected Obligation as are necessary to share the excess payment or reduction on a Pro Rata basis or in accordance with Section 5.5.2, as applicable. If any of such payment or reduction is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Defaulting Lender obtains a payment or reduction of any Obligation, it shall immediately turn over the full amount thereof to Administrative Agent for application under Section 4.2.2 and it shall provide a written statement to Administrative Agent describing the Obligation affected by such payment or reduction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in any Loan Document, no Lender shall set off against a Dominion Account without Administrative Agent’s prior consent.

13.6. Indemnification. EACH SECURED PARTY SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS AGENT INDEMNITEES AND ISSUING BANK INDEMNITEES, TO THE EXTENT NOT REIMBURSED BY OBLIGORS, ON A PRO RATA BASIS, AGAINST ALL CLAIMS THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY SUCH INDEMNITEE, WHETHER BROUGHT BY A THIRD PARTY OR BY A BORROWER OR ANY OTHER OBLIGOR OR AFFILIATE THEREOF, PROVIDED THAT ANY CLAIM AGAINST AN AGENT INDEMNITEE RELATES TO OR ARISES FROM ITS ACTING AS OR FOR ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT (IN THE CAPACITY OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT). In Administrative Agent’s Permitted Discretion, it may reserve for any Claims made against an Agent Indemnitee or an Issuing Bank Indemnitee, and may satisfy any judgment, order or settlement relating thereto, from proceeds of Collateral prior to making any

-114-

distribution of Collateral proceeds to Secured Parties. If Administrative Agent is sued by any receiver, trustee or other Person for any alleged preference or fraudulent transfer, then any monies paid by Administrative Agent in settlement or satisfaction of such proceeding, together with all interest, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in the defense of same, shall be promptly reimbursed to Administrative Agent by each Secured Party to the extent of its Pro Rata share.

13.7. Limitation on Responsibilities of Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall not be liable to any Secured Party for any action taken or omitted to be taken under the Loan Documents, except for losses directly and solely caused by Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Administrative Agent does not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by any Obligor, Lender or other Secured Party of any obligations under the Loan Documents. Administrative Agent does not make any express or implied representation, warranty or guarantee to Secured Parties with respect to any Obligations, Collateral, Liens, Loan Documents, Borrower Materials, Reports or Obligors. No Agent Indemnitee shall be responsible to Secured Parties for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in any Loan Documents or Borrower Materials; the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of any Loan Documents; the genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value, sufficiency, location or existence of any Collateral, or the validity, extent, perfection or priority of any Lien therein; the validity, enforceability or collectability of any Obligations; or the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any Obligor or Account Debtor. No Agent Indemnitee shall have any obligation to any Secured Party to ascertain or inquire into the existence of any Default or Event of Default, the observance by any Obligor of any terms of the Loan Documents, or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent contained in any Loan Documents.

13.8. Successor Administrative Agent and Co-Agents.

13.8.1 Resignation; Successor Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving at least 30 days written notice thereof to Lenders and Borrowers. If Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender under clause (d) of the definition thereof, Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, remove such Administrative Agent by written notice to Borrowers and Administrative Agent. Required Lenders may appoint a successor to replace the resigning or removed Administrative Agent, which successor shall be (a) a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender; or (b) a financial institution reasonably acceptable to Required Lenders and (provided no Event of Default exists) Borrowers. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal, then Administrative Agent may appoint a successor agent that is a financial institution acceptable to it (which shall be a Lender unless no Lender accepts the role) or in the absence of such appointment, Required Lenders shall automatically on such date assume all rights and duties of Administrative Agent hereunder. Upon acceptance by any successor Administrative Agent of its appointment hereunder, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent without further act. On the effective date of its resignation or removal, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder but shall continue to have all rights and protections under the Loan Documents with respect to actions taken or omitted to be taken by it (i) while Administrative Agent and (ii) after such resignation or removal for as long as the retiring or removed Administrative Agent continues to act in any capacity hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, including (A) acting as collateral agent or otherwise holding any collateral security on behalf of any of the Secured Parties and (B) in respect of any actions taken in connection with transferring the agency to any successor Administrative Agent, including the indemnification set forth in Sections 13.6 and 15.2, and all rights and protections under this Section 13. Any successor to Bank of America by merger or acquisition of stock or this loan shall continue to be Administrative Agent hereunder without further act on the part of any Secured Party or Obligor.

-115-

13.8.2 Co-Agent. If appropriate under Applicable Law, Administrative Agent may appoint a Person to serve as a co-collateral agent or separate collateral agent under any Loan Document. Each right, remedy and protection intended to be available to Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents shall also be vested in such agent. Secured Parties shall execute and deliver any instrument or agreement that Administrative Agent may request to effect such appointment. If any such agent shall die, dissolve, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, then all the rights and remedies of the agent, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, shall vest in and be exercised by Administrative Agent until appointment of a new agent.

13.9. Due Diligence and Non-Reliance. Each Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that it has, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Secured Parties, and based upon such documents, information and analyses as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of each Obligor and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to fund Loans and participate in LC Obligations hereunder. Each Secured Party has made such inquiries as it feels necessary concerning the Loan Documents, Collateral and Obligors. Each Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that the other Secured Parties have made no representations or warranties concerning any Obligor, any Collateral or the legality, validity, sufficiency or enforceability of any Loan Documents or Obligations. Each Secured Party will, independently and without reliance upon any other Secured Party, and based upon such financial statements, documents and information as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make and rely upon its own credit decisions in making Loans and participating in LC Obligations, and in taking or refraining from any action under any Loan Documents. Except for notices, reports and other information expressly requested by a Lender, Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Secured Party with any notices, reports or certificates furnished to Administrative Agent by any Obligor or any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition, business or Properties of any Obligor (or any of its Affiliates) which may come into possession of Administrative Agent or its Affiliates.

13.10. Remittance of Payments and Collections.

13.10.1 Remittances Generally. All payments by any Secured Party to Administrative Agent shall be made by the time and on the day set forth in this Agreement, in immediately available funds. If no time for payment is specified or if payment is due on demand by Administrative Agent and request for payment is made by Administrative Agent by 1:00 p.m. on a Business Day, then payment shall be made by such Secured Party not later than 3:00 p.m. on such day, and if request is made after 1:00 p.m., payment shall be made by 11:00 a.m. on the next Business Day. Payment by Administrative Agent to any Secured Party shall be made by wire transfer, in the type of funds received by Administrative Agent. Any such payment shall be subject to Administrative Agent’s right of offset for any amounts due from such payee under the Loan Documents.

13.10.2 Failure to Pay. If any Secured Party fails to pay any amount when due by it to Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms hereof, such amount shall bear interest, from the due date until paid in full, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate or the rate determined by Administrative Agent as customary for interbank compensation for 2 Business Days and thereafter at the Default Rate for Base Rate Loans. In no event shall Obligors be entitled to credit for any interest paid by a Secured Party to Administrative Agent, nor shall a Defaulting Lender be entitled to interest on amounts held by Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 4.2.

13.10.3 Recovery of Erroneous Payments. Without limitation of any other provision herein, if at any time Administrative Agent makes a payment hereunder in error to any Secured Party, whether or not in respect of an Obligation due and owing by Borrowers at such time, where such payment is a Rescindable Amount, then in any such event each Secured Party receiving a Rescindable Amount severally agrees to repay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount received by such Secured Party in immediately available funds in the currency so received, with interest thereon for each day from and including the date such Rescindable Amount is received by it to but excluding the date of repayment to Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. Each Secured

-116-

Party irrevocably waives any and all defenses, including any defense of discharge for value (under which a creditor might otherwise claim a right to retain funds mistakenly paid by a third party in respect of a debt owed by another) or similar defense to its obligation to return any Rescindable Amount. Administrative Agent shall inform each Secured Party promptly upon determining that any payment made to such Secured Party was comprised, in whole or in part, of a Rescindable Amount.

13.10.4 Distributions. If Administrative Agent determines that an amount received by it must be returned or paid to an Obligor or other Person pursuant to Applicable Law or otherwise, then Administrative Agent shall not be required to distribute such amount to any Secured Party. If any amounts received and applied by Administrative Agent to Obligations held by a Secured Party are later required to be returned by Administrative Agent pursuant to Applicable Law, such Secured Party shall pay to Administrative Agent, on demand, its share of the amounts required to be returned.

13.11. Individual Capacities. As a Lender, Bank of America shall have the same rights, obligations and remedies under the Loan Documents as any other Lender, and the terms “Lenders,” “Required Lenders”, “Secured Party” or any similar term shall include Bank of America in its capacity as a Lender. Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank, Lenders and their Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, provide letters of credit or Bank Products to, act as financial or other advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, Obligors and their Affiliates, as if they were not Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank or Lenders hereunder, without any duty to account therefor to any Secured Party. In their individual capacities, Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank, Lenders and their Affiliates may receive information regarding Obligors, their Affiliates and their Account Debtors (including information subject to confidentiality obligations), and shall have no obligation to provide such information to any Secured Party.

13.12. Titles. Each Lender, other than Bank of America, that is designated in connection with this credit facility as an “Arranger,” “Bookrunner,” “Syndication Agent” or “Administrative Agent” of any kind shall have no right or duty under any Loan Documents other than those applicable to all Lenders, and shall in no event have any fiduciary duty to any Secured Party.

13.13. Bank Product Providers. Each Secured Bank Product Provider, by delivery of a notice to Administrative Agent of a Bank Product, agrees to be bound by the Loan Documents, including Sections 5.5, 13, and 15.3.3. Each Secured Bank Product Provider shall indemnify and hold harmless Agent Indemnitees, to the extent not reimbursed by Obligors, against all Claims that may be incurred by or asserted against any Agent Indemnitee in connection with such Secured Bank Product Provider’s Secured Bank Product Obligations.

13.14. Collateral Agent. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, all determinations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents related, directly or indirectly, to the Collateral, Borrowing Base eligibility standards or criteria, reserves or the implementation or adjustment of reserves, collateral information rights, access rights, appraisal rights, audit rights, cash management and cash dominion rights and control agreement rights (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any such determinations which are assigned to Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement and other Loan Documents) shall, be made by Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Any of the foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, nothing contained in this Section 13.14 shall be deemed to expand the rights of Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to Borrowing Base eligibility standards or advance rates applicable to the Borrowing Base or reserves.

13.15. No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Section 13 is an agreement solely among Secured Parties and Administrative Agent, and shall survive Full Payment of the Obligations. Except as set forth in Section 13.8 with respect to the Borrowers, this Section 13 does not confer any rights or benefits upon Obligors or any other Person. As between Obligors and Administrative Agent, any action that Administrative Agent may take under any Loan Documents or with respect to any Obligations shall be conclusively presumed to have been authorized and directed by Secured Parties.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Obligors, Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank, Lenders, Secured Parties, and their respective successors and assigns, except that (a) no Obligor shall have the right to assign its rights or delegate its obligations under any Loan Documents; and (b) any assignment by a Lender must be made in compliance with Section 14.3. Administrative Agent may treat the Person which made any Loan as the owner thereof for all purposes until such Person makes an assignment in accordance with Section 14.3. Any authorization or consent of a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent transferee or assignee of such Lender.

14.2. Participations.

14.2.1 Permitted Participants; Effect. Subject to Section 14.3.3, any Lender may sell to a financial institution (“Participant”) a participating interest in the rights and obligations of such Lender under any Loan Documents. Despite any sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, it shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for performance of such obligations, it shall remain the holder of its Loans and Commitments for all purposes, all amounts payable by Borrowers shall be determined as if it had not sold such participating interests, and Borrowers and Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and

-119-

directly with such Lender in connection with the Loan Documents. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for notifying its Participants of any matters under the Loan Documents, and Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall not have any obligation or liability to any such Participant. Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.7, 3.9 and 5.8 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, and the requirements under Section 5.9 (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 5.9 shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 14.3; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 3.8 and 14.4 as if it were an assignee under Section 14.3; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.7 and 5.8, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after such Participant acquired the applicable participation.

14.2.2 Voting Rights. Each Lender shall retain the sole right to approve, without the consent of any Participant, any amendment, waiver or other modification of a Loan Document other than that which forgives principal, interest or fees, reduces the stated interest rate or fees payable with respect to any Loan or Commitment in which such Participant has an interest, postpones the Commitment Termination Date or any date fixed for any regularly scheduled payment of principal, interest or fees on such Loan or Commitment, or releases any Borrower, all or substantially all of the value of the Guaranty or all or substantially all Collateral.

14.2.3 Participant Register. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrowers (solely for tax purposes), maintain a register in which it enters the Participant’s name, address and interest in Commitments, Loans (including principal and stated interest) and LC Obligations. Entries in the register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person recorded in the register as the owner of the participation for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. No Lender shall have an obligation to disclose any information in such register except to the extent necessary to establish that a Participant’s interest is in registered form under the Code.

14.2.4 Benefit of Set-off. Borrowers agree that each Participant shall have a right of set-off in respect of its participating interest to the same extent as if such interest were owing directly to a Lender, and each Lender shall also retain the right of set-off with respect to any participating interests sold by it. By exercising any right of set-off, a Participant agrees to share with Lenders all amounts received through its set-off, in accordance with Section 13.5 as if such Participant were a Lender.

14.3. Assignments.

14.3.1 Permitted Assignments. A Lender may assign to an Eligible Assignee any of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, as long as (a) each assignment is of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of the transferor Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents and, in the case of a partial assignment, is in a minimum principal amount of $5,000,000 (unless otherwise agreed by Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount; (b) except in the case of an assignment in whole of a Lender’s rights and obligations, the aggregate amount of the Commitments retained by the transferor Lender is at least $10,000,000 (unless otherwise agreed by Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion); and (c) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver an Assignment to Administrative Agent for acceptance and recording. Nothing herein shall limit the right of a Lender to pledge or assign, without the consent of Borrower Agent or Administrative Agent, any rights under the Loan Documents to secure obligations of such Lender, including a pledge or assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided, however, that no such pledge or assignment shall release the Lender from its obligations hereunder nor substitute the pledge or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

-120-

14.3.2 Effect; Effective Date. Upon delivery to Administrative Agent of a fully executed Assignment and a processing fee of $3,500 (unless otherwise agreed or waived by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), the assignment shall become effective as specified in the notice, if it complies with this Section 14.3. From such effective date, the Eligible Assignee shall for all purposes be a Lender under the Loan Documents, and shall have all rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder. Upon consummation of an assignment, the transferor Lender, Administrative Agent and Borrowers shall make appropriate arrangements for issuance of replacement and/or new notes, if applicable. The transferee Lender shall comply with Section 5.9 and deliver, upon request, an administrative questionnaire reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.

14.3.3 Certain Assignees. No assignment or participation may be made to a Borrower, Affiliate of a Borrower (including Sponsor and any Unrestricted Subsidiary), Defaulting Lender or natural person. Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to determine whether any assignment is permitted under the Loan Documents. Assignment by a Defaulting Lender shall be effective only if there is concurrent satisfaction of all outstanding obligations of the Defaulting Lender under the Loan Documents in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, including payment by the Eligible Assignee or Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent of an aggregate amount sufficient upon distribution (through direct payment, purchases of participations or other methods acceptable to Administrative Agent) to satisfy all funding and payment liabilities of the Defaulting Lender. If assignment by a Defaulting Lender occurs (by operation of law or otherwise) without compliance with the foregoing sentence, the assignee shall be deemed a Defaulting Lender for all purposes until compliance occurs.

14.3.4 Register. Administrative Agent, acting as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrowers (solely for tax purposes), shall maintain (a) a copy (or electronic equivalent) of each Assignment delivered to it, and (b) a register for recordation of the names, addresses and Commitments of, and the Loans, principal, interest and LC Obligations owing to, each Lender. Entries in the register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and Borrowers, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall treat each Person recorded in such register as a Lender for all purposes under the Loan Documents, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Administrative Agent may choose to show only one Borrower as the borrower in the register, without any effect on the liability of any Obligor with respect to the Obligations. The register shall be available for inspection by Borrowers or any Lender, from time to time upon reasonable notice.

14.4. Replacement of Certain Lenders. If a Lender (a) was a Non-Consenting Lender, (b) is a Defaulting Lender, or (c) gave a notice under Section 3.5 or requested payment or compensation under Section 3.7 or 5.8 (and has not designated a different Lending Office pursuant to Section 3.8), then Administrative Agent or Borrower Agent may, upon notice to such Lender, require it to assign its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents to Eligible Assignee(s), pursuant to appropriate Assignment(s); provided, that in the case of any assignment pursuant to clause (c) above, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter. Administrative Agent is irrevocably appointed as attorney-in-fact to execute any such Assignment if the Lender fails to execute it. Such Lender shall be entitled to receive, in cash, concurrently with such assignment, all amounts owed to it under the Loan Documents through the date of assignment.

SECTION 15. MISCELLANEOUS

15.1. Consents, Amendments and Waivers.

15.1.1 Amendment. No modification of any Loan Document, including any extension or amendment of a Loan Document or any waiver of a Default or Event of Default, shall be effective without the prior written agreement of Administrative Agent (with the consent of Required Lenders) and each Obligor party to such Loan Document; provided, however, that

-121-

(a) without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, no modification shall alter any provision in a Loan Document that relates to any rights, duties or discretion of Administrative Agent;

(b) without the prior written consent of each applicable Issuing Bank, no modification shall alter Section 2.2 or any other provision in a Loan Document that relates to Letters of Credit or any rights, duties or discretion of such Issuing Bank;

(c) without the prior written consent of each affected Lender, including a Defaulting Lender, no modification shall (i) increase or extend the Commitment of such Lender; (ii) reduce the amount of, or waive or delay payment of, any principal, interest or fees payable to such Lender (except as provided in Section 4.2); (iii) extend the Commitment Termination Date, the Termination Date, or any other time of payment or repayment required under the Loan Documents; or (iv) amend this clause (c);

(d) without the prior written consent of all Lenders (except any Defaulting Lender), no modification shall (i) waive the conditions precedent contained in Section 6.1; (ii) alter Section 5.5.2, 7.1 (except to add Collateral), 13.5, 15.1.1 or any other provision hereof in a manner that would have the effect of altering the ratable reduction of Commitments or the pro rata sharing of payments otherwise required hereunder; (iii) change any provision of this Section 15.1.1(d) or the definition of “Required Lenders”, or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentages of Lenders required to amend, waive or otherwise modify any rights hereunder or any other Loan Document or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder; (iv) amend the definition of Borrowing Base (or any defined term used in such definition) if the effect of such amendment is to increase borrowing availability; (v) increase the advance rates in the Borrowing Base or modify this Agreement in any way that would have the effect of increasing the advance rates in the Borrowing Base, in each case, beyond such advance rates in effect on the Closing Date; (vi) release, or subordinate Administrative Agent’s Lien on, all or substantially all Collateral or release all or substantially all of the value of the Guaranty; or (vii) except in connection with a merger, disposition or similar transaction expressly permitted hereby, release any Obligor from liability for any Obligations; and

(e) without the prior written consent of a Secured Bank Product Provider, no modification shall affect its relative payment priority under Section 5.5.2.

15.1.2 Limitations. Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, Administrative Agent may make or adopt Conforming Changes from time to time and any amendment or notice implementing such changes will become effective without further action or consent of any other party; provided, that Administrative Agent shall post or otherwise provide same to Borrowers and Lenders reasonably promptly after it becomes effective. The agreement of Borrowers or any other Obligors shall not be required for any modification of a Loan Document that deals solely with the rights and duties of Lenders, Administrative Agent and/or Issuing Bank as among themselves but the parties to such shall provide prompt notice thereof to the Borrowers. Only the consent of the parties to any agreement relating to fees or a Bank Product shall be required for modification of such agreement, and no Secured Bank Product Provider (in such capacity) shall have any right to consent to modification of any Loan Document other than its Bank Product agreement. Any waiver or consent granted by Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lenders hereunder shall be effective only if in writing and only for the matter specified. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Administrative Agent may, with the consent of Borrower Agent only, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (but with notice given by Administrative Agent to the Lenders and Issuing Banks promptly after the effectiveness thereof) to cure any ambiguity, or manifest omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency (as reasonably determined by Administrative Agent), or effect administrative changes (including, without limitation, those necessary to effect the purposes of Section 10.2.16(b)(ii) changes to Fiscal Quarter and Fiscal Year), so long as such amendment, modification or supplement does not adversely affect the rights of any Lender or Issuing Bank.

-122-

15.1.3 Payment for Consents. No Borrower will, directly or indirectly, pay any remuneration or other thing of value, whether by way of additional interest, fee or otherwise, to any Lender (in its capacity as a Lender hereunder) as consideration for agreement by such Lender with any modification of any Loan Documents, unless such remuneration or value is concurrently paid, on the same terms, on a Pro Rata basis to all Lenders providing their consent.

15.2. Indemnity. EACH OBLIGOR SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS THE INDEMNITEES FROM AND AGAINST (AND WILL REIMBURSE EACH INDEMNITEE AS THE SAME ARE INCURRED FOR) ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DAMAGES, LOSSES, LIABILITIES AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE REASONABLE AND DOCUMENTED OUT-OF-POCKET FEES, DISBURSEMENTS AND OTHER CHARGES OF ONE FIRM OF COUNSEL TO THE INDEMNITEES TAKEN AS A WHOLE AND ONE FIRM OF LOCAL COUNSEL TO THE INDEMNITEES TAKEN AS A WHOLE IN EACH APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION AND, IN THE CASE OF AN ACTUAL OR POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST AS DETERMINED BY THE AFFECTED INDEMNITEE, ONE ADDITIONAL COUNSEL TO SUCH AFFECTED INDEMNITEE)) THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED OR AWARDED AGAINST ANY INDEMNITEE, IN EACH CASE ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR BY REASON OF (I) THE EXECUTION OR DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY AGREEMENT OR INSTRUMENT CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, THE PERFORMANCE BY THE PARTIES HERETO OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER, OR THE CONSUMMATION OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, OR IN THE CASE OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT (AND ANY SUB-AGENT THEREOF) AND THE AGENT INDEMNITEES ONLY, THE ADMINISTRATION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, (II) ANY LOAN OR LETTER OF CREDIT OR THE USE OR PROPOSED USE OF THE PROCEEDS THEREFROM (INCLUDING ANY REFUSAL BY THE ISSUING BANKS TO HONOR A DEMAND FOR PAYMENT UNDER A LETTER OF CREDIT IF THE DOCUMENTS PRESENTED IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH DEMAND DO NOT STRICTLY COMPLY WITH THE TERMS OF SUCH LETTER OF CREDIT), (III) ANY ACTUAL OR ALLEGED PRESENCE OR RELEASE OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ON OR FROM ANY PROPERTY OWNED OR OPERATED BY COMPANY OR ANY OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES, OR ANY ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITY RELATED IN ANY WAY TO COMPANY OR ANY OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES OR (IV) ANY ACTUAL OR PROSPECTIVE CLAIM, LITIGATION, INVESTIGATION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY, WHETHER BROUGHT BY A THIRD PARTY OR BY ANY BORROWER OR ANY OTHER OBLIGOR, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY INDEMNITEE IS A PARTY THERETO, IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF AN INDEMNITEE. In no event shall any party to a Loan Document have any obligation thereunder to indemnify or hold harmless an Indemnitee with respect to a Claim to the extent that it (a) is determined in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from (x) the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, as the case may be, or (y) a material breach in bad faith by such Indemnitee of its obligations under the Loan Documents or (b) arises out of or is in connection with any claim, litigation, loss or proceeding not involving an act or omission of any Obligor or any of its Affiliates and that is brought by an Indemnitee against another Indemnitee (other than against Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Arranger in their capacities as such). This Section shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section shall apply to any action or inaction taken by an Indemnitee in reliance on any Communication executed using an Electronic Signature, or in the form of an Electronic Record, that such Indemnitee reasonably believes is made by a Senior Officer or any other authorized Person acting on behalf of an Obligor.

-123-

15.3. Notices and Communications.

15.3.1 Notice Address. Subject to Section 4.1.4, all Communications by or to a party hereto shall be in writing and shall be given to any Borrower, at Borrower Agent’s address shown on the signature pages hereof, and to any other Person at its address shown on the signature pages hereof (or, in the case of a Person who becomes a Lender after the Closing Date, at the address shown on its Assignment), or at such other address as a party may hereafter specify by notice in accordance with this Section 15.3. In addition, a Communication from Administrative Agent to Lenders or Borrowers may, to the extent permitted by law, be delivered electronically (i) by transmitting the Communication to the electronic address specified to Administrative Agent in writing by the applicable Lender or Borrower Agent from time to time, or (ii) by posting the Communication on a website and sending the Lender or Borrower Agent notice (electronically or otherwise) that the Communication has been posted and providing instructions (at such time or prior to delivery of such Communication) for viewing it. Each Communication shall be effective only (a) if given by facsimile transmission, when transmitted to the applicable facsimile number, if confirmation of receipt is received; (b) if given by mail, three Business Days after deposit in the U.S. mail, with first-class postage pre-paid, addressed to the applicable address; (c) if given by personal delivery, when duly delivered to the notice address with receipt acknowledged; or (d) if provided electronically by Administrative Agent to Lenders or Borrowers, when the Communication (or notice advising of its posting to a website) is sent to the Lender’s or Borrower Agent’s electronic address. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no notice to Administrative Agent pursuant to Sections 2.1.4, 2.2, 3.1.2 or 4.1.1 shall be effective until actually received by the individual to whose attention at Administrative Agent such notice is required to be sent. Any written Communication that is not sent in conformity with the foregoing provisions shall nevertheless be effective on the date actually received by the noticed party. Any notice received by Borrower Agent shall be deemed received by all Borrowers.

15.3.2 Communications. Electronic Communications (including e-mail, messaging and websites) may be used only in a manner reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent and Secured Parties make no assurance as to the privacy or security of electronic Communications. E-mail and voice mail shall not be effective notices under the Loan Documents.

15.3.3 Platform. Borrower Materials and Reports shall be delivered pursuant to procedures approved by Administrative Agent, including electronic delivery (if possible) upon request by Administrative Agent to an electronic system maintained by Administrative Agent (“Platform”). Borrowers shall notify Administrative Agent of each posting of Borrower Materials and Reports on the Platform and the materials shall be deemed received by Administrative Agent only upon its receipt of such notice. Borrower Materials, Reports and other information relating to this credit facility may be made available to Secured Parties on the Platform. The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” Administrative Agent does not warrant the accuracy or completeness of any information on the Platform nor the adequacy or functioning of the Platform, and expressly disclaims liability for any errors or omissions in the Borrower Materials, Reports or any issues involving the Platform. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS, OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT WITH RESPECT TO BORROWER MATERIALS, REPORTS OR THE PLATFORM. No Agent Indemnitee shall have any liability to Borrowers, other Obligors, Secured Parties or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) relating to use by any Person of the Platform, including any unintended recipient, nor for delivery of Borrower Materials, Reports and other information via the Platform, internet, e-mail, or any other electronic platform or messaging system, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Indemnitee. Administrative Agent may, but is not obligated to, make Communications available to Obligors and Lenders by posting them on IntraLinks^TM, DebtDomain, SyndTrak, ClearPar or other electronic platform.

-124-

15.3.4 Public Information. Obligors and Secured Parties acknowledge that “public” information may not be segregated from material non-public information on the Platform. Secured Parties acknowledge that Borrower Materials and Reports may include Obligors’ material non-public information, and should not be made available to personnel who do not wish to receive such information or may be engaged in investment or other market-related activities with respect to an Obligor’s securities.

15.3.5 Non-Conforming Communications. Administrative Agent and Lenders may rely upon any Communication purportedly given by or on behalf of any Borrower or other Obligor even if they were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not confirmed, or if the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from an earlier Communication or later confirmation. Each Obligor shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from any liabilities, losses, costs and expenses arising from any electronic or telephonic Communication purportedly given by or on behalf of any Obligor.

15.3.6 Reliance on Communications. No Secured Party shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with an Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed .pdf or other electronic means). Secured Parties may rely on, and shall incur no liability under or in respect of any Loan Document by acting on, any Communication (which may be a fax, electronic message, internet or intranet website posting, or other distribution, or signed by an Electronic Signature) or any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent or otherwise authenticated (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the maker thereof). Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely on the e-mail addresses and telephone numbers provided by Obligors, Lenders and their authorized representatives. Each Obligor hereby waives (a) any argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or other Communication based solely on the lack of a paper original copy thereof, and (b) waives any claim against any Indemnitee for liabilities arising from its reliance on or use of Electronic Signatures, including liabilities relating to an Obligor’s failure to use a security measure in connection with execution, delivery or transmission of an Electronic Signature.

15.4. Performance of Borrowers’ Obligations. Administrative Agent may, in its Permitted Discretion at any time and from time to time, at Borrowers’ expense, upon notice to Borrower Agent unless an Event of Default exists and is continuing, pay any amount or do any act required of any Obligor under any Loan Documents or otherwise lawfully requested by Administrative Agent to (a) enforce any Loan Documents or collect any Obligations; (b) protect, insure, maintain or realize upon any Collateral; or (c) defend or maintain the validity or priority of Administrative Agent’s Liens in any Collateral, including any payment of a judgment, insurance premium, warehouse charge, finishing or processing charge, or landlord claim, or any discharge of a Lien. All payments, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including Extraordinary Expenses) of Administrative Agent under this Section shall be reimbursed to Administrative Agent by Borrowers and other Obligors, upon written demand, with interest accruing from the date incurred until paid in full, at the Default Rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. Any payment made or action taken by Administrative Agent under this Section shall be without prejudice to any right to assert an Event of Default or to exercise any other rights or remedies under the Loan Documents.

15.5. Credit Inquiries. Administrative Agent and Lenders may (but shall have no obligation) to respond to usual and customary credit inquiries from third parties concerning any Obligor or Subsidiary.

15.6. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of the Loan Documents shall be interpreted in such manner as to be valid under Applicable Law. If any provision is found to be invalid under Applicable Law, it shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity and the remaining provisions of the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect.

-125-

15.7. Cumulative Effect; Conflict of Terms. The provisions of the Loan Documents are cumulative. The parties acknowledge that the Loan Documents may use several limitations or measurements to regulate similar matters, and they agree that these are cumulative and that each must be performed as provided. Except as otherwise provided in another Loan Document (by specific reference to the applicable provision of this Agreement), if any provision contained herein is in direct conflict with any provision in another Loan Document, the provision herein shall govern and control.

15.8. Execution; Electronic Records. Any Loan Document, including any required to be in writing, may (if agreed by Administrative Agent) be in the form of an Electronic Record and may be executed using Electronic Signatures. An Electronic Signature on or associated with any Communication shall be valid and binding on each Obligor and other party thereto to the same extent as a manual, original signature, and any Communication entered into by Electronic Signature shall constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of each party, enforceable to the same extent as if a manually executed original signature were delivered. A Communication may be executed in as many counterparts as necessary or convenient, including both paper and electronic counterparts, but all such counterparts are one and the same Communication. The parties may use or accept manually signed paper Communications converted into electronic form (such as scanned into pdf), or electronically signed Communications converted into other formats, for transmission, delivery and/or retention. Administrative Agent and Lenders may, at their option, create one or more copies of a Communication in the form of an imaged Electronic Record (“Electronic Copy”), which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of the Person’s business, and may destroy the original paper document. Any Communication in the form or format of an Electronic Record, including an Electronic Copy, shall be considered an original for all purposes, and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record. Notwithstanding anything herein, (a) Administrative Agent is under no obligation to accept an Electronic Signature in any form unless expressly agreed by it pursuant to procedures approved by it; (b) each Secured Party shall be entitled to rely on any Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of an Obligor without further verification and regardless of the appearance or form of such Electronic Signature; and (c) upon request by Administrative Agent, any Loan Document using an Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by a manually executed original counterpart.

15.9. Entire Agreement. Time is of the essence with respect to all Loan Documents and Obligations. The Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all prior understandings and agreements, among the parties relating to the subject matter thereof.

15.10. Relationship with Lenders. The obligations of each Lender hereunder are several, and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitments of any other Lender. Amounts payable hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt. It shall not be necessary for Administrative Agent or any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purposes. Nothing in this Agreement and no action of Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, Lenders any other Secured Party or any Affiliate thereof pursuant to the Loan Documents or otherwise shall be deemed to constitute Administrative Agent and any Secured Party to be a partnership, joint venture or similar arrangement, nor to constitute control of any Obligor.

15.11. No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated by any Loan Document, Borrowers acknowledge and agree that (a)(i) this credit facility and any arranging or other services by Arranger, Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any of their Affiliates are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Obligors and their Affiliates, on one hand, and Arranger, Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any of their Affiliates, on the other hand; (ii) the Obligors have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they have deemed appropriate; and (iii) the Obligors are capable of evaluating, and understand and accept, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents; (b) each of Arranger, Administrative Agent, Lenders, any Issuing Bank and their Affiliates and any arranger is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for Obligors,

-126-

their Affiliates or any other Person, and has no obligation with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents except as expressly set forth therein; and (c) Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, Lenders, their Affiliates and any arranger may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of Obligors and their Affiliates, and have no obligation to disclose any of such interests to Obligors or their Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Obligor hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against Arranger, Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, Lenders and their Affiliates with respect to any breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any transaction contemplated by a Loan Document. Each Obligor hereby agrees that it will not claim that Arranger, Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, Lenders or their Affiliates has rendered advisory services of any nature or owes any agency or fiduciary or similar duty to it in connection with any transaction contemplated by a Loan Document.

15.12. Confidentiality. Each of Administrative Agent, Lenders and Issuing Banks shall maintain the confidentiality of all Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates, and to its and their partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (provided they are informed of the confidential nature of the Information and instructed to keep it confidential); (b) to the extent requested by any governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it or its Affiliates, provided Borrower Agent has been given reasonable notice thereof and been afforded an opportunity to limit or protest the disclosure (to the extent legally permitted and reasonably practicable and other than in connection with regulatory oversight); (c) to the extent required by Applicable Law or by any subpoena or other legal process, provided Borrower Agent has been given reasonable notice thereof and been afforded an opportunity to limit or protest the disclosure (to the extent legally permitted and reasonably practicable); (d) to any other party hereto; (e) in connection with any action or proceeding relating to any Loan Documents or Obligations; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as this Section, to any Transferee or any actual or prospective party (or its advisors) to any Bank Product or to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to an Obligor or Obligor’s obligations; (g) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) is available to Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any of their Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Borrowers; (h) on a confidential basis to a provider of a Platform; or (i) with the consent of Borrower Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Administrative Agent and Lenders may publish or disseminate general information concerning this credit facility for league table, tombstone and advertising purposes, and may use Borrowers’ logos, trademarks or product photographs in advertising materials. As used herein, “Information” means information received from an Obligor or Subsidiary relating to it or its business that is identified as confidential when delivered. A Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to have complied if it exercises a degree of care similar to that accorded its own confidential information. Each of Administrative Agent, Lenders and Issuing Bank acknowledges that (i) Information may include material non-public information; (ii) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of such information; and (iii) it will handle the material non-public information in accordance with Applicable Law.

15.13. GOVERNING LAW. UNLESS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND ALL CLAIMS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES EXCEPT FEDERAL LAWS RELATING TO NATIONAL BANKS.

EACH OBLIGOR IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ALL CLAIMS, OBJECTIONS AND DEFENSES THAT IT MAY HAVE REGARDING ANY SUCH COURT’S PERSONAL OR SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION, VENUE OR INCONVENIENT FORUM. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 15.3.1.

15.18. Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Hedging Agreement or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

(a) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

(b) As used in this Section 15.18, the following terms have the following meanings:
