Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Company a

corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 2.05 or elsewhere in this Agreement, Notes shall only be delivered to Lenders which at any time specifically request the delivery of such Notes.

to pay the Loans (and all related Obligations) incurred by the Company which would otherwise be evidenced thereby in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, and shall not in any way affect the security or Guarantees therefor provided pursuant to any Credit Document. Any Lender which does not have a Note evidencing its outstanding Loans shall in no event be required to make the notations otherwise described in preceding clause (c).

The Company agrees to compensate each Lender, upon its written request (which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such compensation), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund its Eurodollar Loans (but excluding loss of profits)) which such Lender has sustained: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or the Administrative Agent) a Borrowing of, or conversion from or into, Eurodollar Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion (whether or not withdrawn by the Company); (ii) if any repayment (including any repayment made pursuant to Section 4.01 or 4.02 or a result of an acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 9 or as a result of the replacement of a Lender pursuant to Section 2.13 or 11.12(b)) or conversion of any Eurodollar Loans occurs on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto; (iii) if any prepayment of any Eurodollar Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Company; or (iv) as a consequence of (x) any other default by the Company to repay its Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or any Note held by such Lender or (y) any election made pursuant to Section 2.10(b).

2.12 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that on the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 2.10(c) or Section 4.04 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Company, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event; provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of such Section. Nothing in this Section 2.12 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Company or the right of any Lender provided in Sections 2.10 and 4.04.

2.13 Replacement of Lenders.

(a) (i) If any Lender refuses to consent to certain proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders as provided in Section 11.12(b), (ii) upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 2.10(c) or Section 4.04 with respect to any Lender which results in such Lender charging to the Company increased costs or (iii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, the Company shall have the right, in accordance with the requirements of Section 11.04(b), if no Event of Default will exist after giving effect to such replacement, to replace such Lender (the “Replaced Lender”) with an Eligible Transferee or Transferees (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”), reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent; provided that (i) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 2.13, the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment and Assumption Agreements pursuant to Section 11.04(b) (and with the assignment fee payable pursuant to said Section

11.04(b) to be paid by the Replacement Lender) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the Commitments and outstanding Loans of the Replaced Lender and, in connection therewith, shall

pay to the Replaced Lender in respect thereof an amount equal to the sum of (A) an amount equal to the

principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Replaced Lender and (B) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, Fees owing to the Replaced Lender pursuant to Section 3.01

and (ii) all obligations of the Company owing to the Replaced Lender (other than those specifically

described in clause (i) above in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid) shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement.

(b) Upon the execution of the respective Assignment and Assumption Agreements, the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of the proviso contained in Section 2.13(a) and, if so requested by the Replacement Lender, delivery to the Replacement Lender of the appropriate Note executed by the Company, the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the Replaced

Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions applicable to the Replaced Lender under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.10,

2.11, 4.04, 11.01 and 11.06), which shall survive as to such Replaced Lender.

2.14 Limitations on Additional Amounts, etc. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.10 or 2.11 of this Agreement, unless a Lender gives notice to the Company that it is obligated to pay an amount under the respective Section within 180 days after the date such Lender incurs the respective increased costs, loss, expense or liability, reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital, then such Lender shall only be entitled to be compensated for such amount by the Company pursuant to said Section 2.10 or 2.11, as the case may be, to the extent the costs, loss, expense or liability, reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital are incurred or suffered on or after the date which occurs 180 days prior to such Lender giving notice to the Company that it is obligated to pay the respective amounts pursuant to said Section 2.10 or 2.11 as the case may be; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such claims have a retroactive effect, then such

180-day period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect. This Section 2.14 shall have no applicability to any Section of this Agreement other than said Sections 2.10 or 2.11.

2.15 Incremental Term Commitments.

(a) The Company shall have the right in coordination with the Administrative Agent as to all of the matters set forth below in this Section 2.15, but without requiring the consent of any of the Lenders, to request at any time and from time to time after the Restatement Effective Date, that one or more Lenders (and/or one or more other Persons which are Eligible Transferees and which will become Lenders as provided below) satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (with such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) provide Incremental Term Commitments and, subject to the applicable terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, make Incremental Loans pursuant thereto; provided, however, that (i) no Lender shall be obligated to provide an Incremental Term Commitment as a result of any such request by the Company, and until such time, if any, as such Lender has agreed in its sole discretion to provide an Incremental Term Commitment and executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Term Commitment Agreement in respect thereof as provided in clause (b) of this Section

2.15, such Lender shall not be obligated to fund any Incremental Loans, (ii) any Lender (including any

Eligible Transferee who will become a Lender) may so provide an Incremental Term Commitment without the consent of any other Lender, (iii) at the time of the incurrence of any Incremental Loans and

immediately after giving effect thereto and the use of proceeds thereof, determined on a pro forma basis,

the Interest Coverage Ratio shall be greater than 2.00:1.00, (iv) the aggregate principal amount of

Incremental Loans that may be incurred under this Section 2.15 shall not exceed the greater of (A)

$75,000,000 and (B) an aggregate principal amount such that, at the time of the incurrence of any

Incremental Loans and immediately after giving effect thereto, determined on a pro forma basis, the Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio for the most recently ended Test Period shall be 2.00:1.00 or lower, (v) all Incremental Loans made pursuant to an Incremental Term Commitment (and all interest, fees and other amounts payable thereon) shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other applicable Credit Documents and shall be secured by the Security Documents, and guaranteed under the Subsidiary Guarantee, on a pari passu basis with all other Obligations secured by the Security Documents and guaranteed under the Subsidiaries Guarantee, (vi) the maturity date of any Incremental Loans shall not be earlier than the Final Maturity Date, (vii) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any such Incremental Loans shall be no shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the existing Loans, (viii) in the event the initial yield on any Incremental Loan (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be equal to the sum of (x) the margin above the Eurodollar Rate on such Incremental Loan, (y) if such Incremental Loans are initially made at a discount or the Lenders making the same receive a fee directly or indirectly from the BorrowerCompany or any of its Subsidiaries for doing so (but excluding any arrangement fees not paid to the Lenders thereof generally) (the amount of such discount or fee, expressed

as a percentage of the Incremental Loans, being referred to herein as “OID”), the amount of such OID (based on an assumed four year weighted average life) and (z) any minimum Eurodollar rate applicable to such Incremental Loans, the “Incremental Yield”) exceeds the initial yield on the existing Loans by more than 50 basis points (taking into account the same factors in making the determination of the yield on the Incremental Loans and assuming a weighted average life of four years; the amount of such excess above

50 basis points being referred to herein as the “Yield Differential”), then the Applicable Margin then in effect for Loans shall automatically be increased by the Yield Differential, effective upon the making of

the Incremental Loans; (ix) (A) any amortization payments in respect of Incremental Loans shall be no more than ratable with amortization payments in respect of the existing Loans and (B) any Incremental

Loans shall otherwise be no more than pari passu with the existing Loans with respect to mandatory prepayments and other prepayment rights, and (x) except as provided in clauses (vi)-(ix) above, the terms applicable to such Incremental Loans (including the interest rates applicable thereto) shall be reasonably

satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and as set forth in the respective Incremental Term Commitment

Agreement.

(b) At the time of the provision of Incremental Term Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.15, the Company, the Administrative Agent and each such Lender or other Eligible Transferee which agrees to provide an Incremental Term Commitment (each, an “Incremental Term Lender”) shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Term Commitment Agreement, with the effectiveness of such Incremental Term Lender’s Incremental Term Commitment to occur (and with the respective Incremental Loans to be made) on the date set forth in such Incremental Term Commitment Agreement, which date in any event shall be no earlier than the date on which (w) all fees required to be paid in connection therewith at the time of such effectiveness shall have been paid (including, without limitation, any agreed upon upfront or arrangement fees), (x) all Incremental Commitment Requirements are satisfied, (y) all other conditions set forth in this Section 2.15 shall have been satisfied, and (z) all other conditions precedent that may be set forth in such Incremental Term Commitment Agreement shall have been satisfied. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental Term Commitment Agreement and to the extent requested by any Incremental Term Lender, a Note will be issued, at the Company’s expense, to such Incremental Term Lender in conformity with the requirements of Section 2.05.

3.01 Agent Fees. The Company agrees to pay to each Agent, for its own account, such fees as are agreed to in writing by the Company and each Agent from time to time.

3.02 Mandatory Reduction of Commitments.

(a) The Commitment of each Lender shall terminate in its entirety on the

RestatementAmendment No. 1 Effective Date (after giving effect to the incurrence of Loans on such date).

(b) Each Incremental Term Commitment made pursuant to an Incremental Term Commitment Agreement shall be terminated in its entirety on the respective Incremental Term Commitment Date, in each case after giving effect to the making of the respective Incremental Loans on such date.

SECTION 4. Prepayments; Payments; Taxes.

(i) the Company shall give the Administrative Agent at its Notice Office (A) at least one Business Day’s prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of its intent to prepay Base Rate Loans or (B) at least three Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of its intent to prepay Eurodollar Loans, which notice (in each case) shall specify the amount of such prepayment and the Types of Loans to be prepaid and, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, the specific Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such Eurodollar Loans were made, which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders;

(ii) each partial prepayment in respect of any Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at least the applicable Minimum Amount and, if greater, in integral multiples as set forth in the definition of Minimum Amount; provided that no such voluntary partial prepayment

of Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to any Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than the applicable Minimum Amount;

(iii) each prepayment in respect of any Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Loans; and

(iv) each prepayment of Loans pursuant to this Section 4.01 shall be applied to the then remaining Scheduled Repayments and Incremental Scheduled Repayments in such order as the Company shall specify to the Administrative Agent in writing at the time of such prepayment, and if the Company fails to so specify the application of such prepayment at the time of such prepayment, then such prepayment shall be applied to reduce the then remaining Scheduled Repayments and Incremental Scheduled Repayments in direct order of maturity (based upon the then remaining principal amount of each such Scheduled Repayment and Incremental Scheduled Repayment).

The foregoing notwithstanding, in the event that, on or prior to the first anniversary of the RestatementAmendment No. 1 Effective Date, the Company (x) makes any prepayment of Loans in connection with any Repricing Transaction, or (y) effects any amendment of this Agreement resulting in a Repricing Transaction, the Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each of the applicable Lenders, without duplication, (I) in the case of clause (x), a prepayment premium of 1% of the principal amount of the Loans being prepaid and (II) in the case of clause (y), a payment equal to 1% of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Loans outstanding immediately prior to such amendment and that is prepaid or refinanced pursuant to such amendment with the incurrence of long-term bank debt financing.

(b) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 4.02, within one Business Day following each date after the Restatement Effective Date upon which the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries receives any proceeds from any incurrence of Indebtedness (excluding any Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 8.04 as such Section 8.04 is in

pursuant to Section 8.02(ii)) shall be applied as a mandatory repayment in accordance with the

requirements of Sections 4.02(f) and (g); provided that such Net Cash Proceeds shall not be required to be so applied on such date if no Default or Event of Default then exists and the Company delivers a certificate to the Administrative Agent on or prior to such date stating that such Net Cash Proceeds shall be used either to purchase (i) assets used or to be used in the business of the Company or its Subsidiaries in compliance with this Agreement or (ii) equity interests in a Person engaged in a business of a type described in Section 8.10 in connection with a Permitted Acquisition, in each case within 270 days following the date of such Asset Sale (which certificate shall set forth the estimates of the proceeds to be so expended), and provided, further, that if all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds not so applied in accordance with Sections 4.02(f) and (g) are not so used within such 270 day period, such remaining portion shall be applied on the last day of such period as a mandatory repayment as provided above in this Section 4.02(c).

(d) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 4.02, on each Excess Cash Payment Date, an amount equal to the remainder of (A) applicable ECF Percentage of the Excess Cash Flow for the relevant Excess Cash Payment Period minus (B) the aggregate principal amount of all voluntary prepayments of ABL Loans and Loans (but, in the case of the ABL Loans, only to the extent accompanied by a voluntary reduction to the “Commitments” as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) during such period, in each case to the extent made with internally generated funds shall be applied as a mandatory repayment in accordance with the requirements of Sections 4.02(f) and (g).

(e) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 4.02, within 10 days following each date after the Restatement Effective Date on which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries receives any proceeds from any Recovery Event, an amount equal to 100% of the proceeds of such Recovery Event (net of reasonable costs including, without limitation, legal costs and expenses and taxes incurred in connection with such Recovery Event) shall be applied as a mandatory repayment in accordance with the requirements of Sections 4.02(f) and (g); provided that so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists and to the extent such proceeds do not exceed $30,000,000, such proceeds shall not be required to be so applied on such date to the extent that the Company has delivered a certificate to the Administrative Agent on or prior to such date stating that such proceeds shall be (or have been, as the case may be) used to repair, replace or restore any properties or assets in respect of which such proceeds were paid or purchase assets used or to be used in the business of the Company or its Subsidiaries in compliance with this Agreement (i) within 360 days following the date of such Recovery Event (which certificate shall set forth the estimates of the proceeds to be so expended) or (ii) on or after the date of the event giving rise to the relevant Recovery Event so long as such date is not more than 60 days prior to the date of such Recovery Event (which certificate shall set forth the amounts of the proceeds actually expended); provided, further, that if all or any portion of such proceeds not required to be applied in accordance with Sections 4.02(f) and (g) pursuant to the preceding proviso are not so used within the periods provided in the immediately preceding proviso, such remaining portion shall be applied on the last day of such period as a mandatory repayment in accordance with the requirements of Sections 4.02(f) and (g).

(f) Each amount required to be applied pursuant to Sections 4.02(b), (c), (d) and (e) in accordance with this Section 4.02(f) shall be applied to repay the outstanding principal amount of Loans; provided, however, that (x) if at the time of any mandatory repayment pursuant to this Section

4.02(f) the ABL Borrowing Availability is less than $20,000,000 (or, in the case of amounts required to be applied pursuant to Section 4.02(d), $25,000,000, such mandatory repayment instead shall be applied (i)

first, to repay the outstanding principal amount of the ABL Loans in an amount necessary to cause the

ABL Borrowing Availability to be equal to $20,000,000 (or, in the case of amounts required to be applied pursuant to Section 4.02(d), $25,000,000), and (ii) second, to repay the outstanding principal amount of

the Loans, and (y) without limiting the provisions of preceding subclause (x), if as part of any Asset Sale or

Recovery Event, any Collateral is being sold or has been damaged or taken (as the case may be) that is used in calculating the Borrowing Base (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) then the amount of the

Net Cash Proceeds from such Asset Sale or the net proceeds from such Recovery Event (as the case may

be) that is attributable to such Collateral shall be applied to the outstanding ABL Loans in an amount equal to the value of such Collateral for which credit is given in such Borrowing Base (immediately prior to such Asset Sale or Recovery Event), and the remaining portion of such Net Cash Proceeds or net insurance proceeds shall be applied as a mandatory repayment in accordance with the requirements of Section

4.02(c) or (e), as the case may be.

(g) With respect to each repayment of Loans required by this Section 4.02, the Company may designate the Types of Loans which are to be repaid and, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, the specific Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such Loans were made; provided that: (i) if any repayment of Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding Eurodollar Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than the applicable Minimum Amount, such Borrowing shall be immediately converted into a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans; (ii) each repayment of any Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Loans; (iii) each repayment shall be applied to all outstanding Incremental Loans on a pro rata basis; and (iv) each prepayment of Loans and Incremental Loans pursuant to this Section 4.02 shall be applied to the then remaining Scheduled Repayments and Incremental Scheduled Repayments on a pro rata basis.

(h) All outstanding Loans and Incremental Loans shall be repaid on the Final

Maturity Date. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the

Lenders holding Term B Loans that are not Converted Term B Loans, the outstanding principal amount of such Term B Loans that are not Converted Term B Loans on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date.

4.03 Method and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under this Agreement or any Note shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lender or Lenders entitled thereto no later than 12:00 Noon (local time in the city in which such payments are to be made) on the date when due and shall be made in Dollars in immediately available funds at the Payment Office of the Administrative Agent. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any Note shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable at the applicable rate during such extension.

4.04 Net Payments; Taxes.

(a) All payments made by or on behalf of the Company hereunder or under any Note will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense. Except as provided in Section 4.04(b), all such payments will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges of whatever nature now or

hereafter imposed by any jurisdiction or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to such payments (but excluding, except as provided in the second succeeding sentence, any income or franchise tax imposed on or measured by the overall net income or profits of a Lender, or any franchise tax or gross receipts taxes that are imposed in lieu of net income or net profits taxes, in either case pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized or the jurisdiction in which the principal office or applicable lending office of such Lender is located or any subdivision thereof or therein) and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect thereto (all such non-excluded charges being referred to collectively as “Taxes”). If any Taxes are so levied or imposed, the Company agrees to pay the full amount of such Taxes, and such additional amounts as may be necessary so that every payment of all amounts due under this Agreement or under any Note, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for herein or in such Note. If any amounts are payable in respect of Taxes pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Company agrees to reimburse each Lender, upon the written request of such Lender, for taxes imposed on or measured by the net income of such Lender pursuant to the laws of the jurisdiction or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein in which such Lender is organized or in which the principal office or applicable lending office of such Lender is located as such Lender shall determine are payable by, or withheld from, such Lender in respect of such amounts so paid to or on behalf of such Lender pursuant to the preceding sentence and in respect of any amounts paid to or on behalf of such Lender pursuant to this sentence. The Company will furnish to the Administrative Agent within 45 days after the date of the payment of any Taxes is due pursuant to applicable law certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender and the Administrative Agent, and reimburse such Lender or Administrative Agent within 10 days after its written request, for the amount of any Taxes so levied or imposed and paid by such Lender or Administrative Agent, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate setting forth the amount of such payment or liability and the reasons therefore in reasonable detail delivered to Company by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(b) Each Lender that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section

7701(a)(30) of the Code) agrees to deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Restatement Effective Date, or in the case of a Lender that is an assignee or transferee of an interest under this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.13 or 11.04 (unless the respective Lender was already a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such assignment or transfer), on the date of such assignment or transfer to

such Lender, (i) to the extent permitted by law, two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN (with respect to a complete exemption under an income tax treaty) (or successor forms) certifying to such Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and under any Note or (ii) to the extent permitted by law, if the Lender is not a “Lender” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code and cannot deliver either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN (with respect to a complete exemption under an income tax treaty) pursuant to clause (i) above, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C (any such certificate, a “Section

4.04(b)(ii) Certificate”) and (y) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue

Service Form W-8BEN (with respect to the portfolio interest exemption) (or successor form) certifying to such Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments of interest to be made under this Agreement and under any Note. In addition, each Lender agrees that from time to time after the Restatement Effective Date, when a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders the previous certification obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, it will deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent, to the extent permitted by law, two new accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form

W-8BEN (with respect to a complete exemption under an income tax treaty), or Form W-8BEN (with respect to the portfolio interest exemption) and a Section 4.04(b)(ii) Certificate, as the case may be, and such other forms as may be required in order to confirm or establish the entitlement of such Lender to a continued exemption from or reduction in United States withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement and any Note or it shall immediately notify the Company and the Administrative Agent of its inability to deliver any such Form or Certificate in which case such Lender shall not be required to deliver any such Form or Certificate pursuant to this Section 4.04(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 4.04(a), but subject to Section 11.04(b) and the immediately succeeding sentence, (x) the Company shall be entitled, to the extent it is required to do so by law, to deduct or withhold income or similar taxes imposed by the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) from interest, Fees or other amounts payable hereunder for the account of any Lender which is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. Federal income tax purposes to the extent that such Lender has not provided to the Company U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms that establish a complete exemption from such deduction or withholding and (y) the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to Section 4.04(a) to gross-up payments to be made to a Lender in respect of income or similar taxes imposed by the United States if (I) such Lender has not provided to the Company the Internal Revenue Service Forms required to be provided to the Company pursuant to this Section 4.04(b) or (II) in the case of a payment, other than interest, to a Lender described in clause (ii) above, to the extent that such Forms do not establish a complete exemption from withholding of such taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the preceding sentence or elsewhere in this Section 4.04 and except as set forth in Section 11.04(b), the Company agrees to pay additional amounts and to indemnify each Lender in the manner set forth in Section 4.04(a) (without regard to the identity of the jurisdiction requiring the deduction or withholding) in respect of any amounts deducted or withheld by it as described in the immediately preceding sentence as a result of any changes after the Restatement Effective Date in any applicable law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order, or in the interpretation thereof, relating to the deducting or withholding of such income or similar Taxes.

(c) If the Company pays any additional amount under this Section 4.04 to a Lender and such Lender determines in its sole discretion that it has actually received or realized in connection therewith any refund or any reduction of, or credit against, its Tax liabilities in or with respect to the taxable year in which the additional amount is paid (a “Tax Benefit”), such Lender shall pay to the Company an amount that the Lender shall, in its sole discretion, determine is equal to the net benefit, after tax, which was obtained by the Lender in such year as a consequence of such Tax Benefit; provided, however, that (i) any Lender may determine in its sole discretion consistent with the policies of such

Lender whether to seek a Tax Benefit; (ii) any Taxes that are imposed on a Lender as a result of a disallowance or reduction (including through the expiration of any tax carryover or carryback of such Lender that otherwise would not have expired) of any Tax Benefit with respect to which such Lender has made a payment to the Company pursuant to this Section 4.04(c) shall be treated as a Tax for which the Company is obligated to indemnify such Lender pursuant to this Section 4.04 without any exclusions or defenses; (iii) nothing in this Section 4.04(c) shall require a Lender to disclose any confidential information to the Company (including, without limitation, its tax returns); and (iv) no Lender shall be required to pay any amounts pursuant to this Section 4.04(c) at any time a Default or Event of Default exists. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event will any Lender be required to pay any amount to the Company the payment of which would place such Lender in a less favorable net after-tax position than such Lender would have been in if the additional amounts giving rise to such refund of Taxes had never been paid.

6.01 Status.

Neither the execution, delivery or performance by any Credit Party of the Documents to which it is a party, nor compliance by it with the terms and provisions thereof, (i) will contravene any provision of any applicable law, statute, rule or regulation or any applicable order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality, (ii) will conflict with, or result in any breach of any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien (except pursuant to the Security Documents and the ABL Security Documents) upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, credit agreement or loan agreement, or any other material agreement, contract or instrument, to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of its property or assets is bound or to which it may be subject or (iii) will violate any provision of the certificate of incorporation or by-laws or other organizational documents, as applicable, of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

All such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, except to the extent provided in the notes to said financial statements.

(b) On and as of the Restatement Effective Date, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Transaction and to all Indebtedness incurred, and to be incurred (including, without limitation, the Loans and the additional ABL Loans, if any) and Liens created, and to be created, by each Credit Party in connection therewith, with respect to each of (i) the Company and its Subsidiaries (on a

(d) The Projections are based on good faith estimates and assumptions made by the management of the Company, and on the Restatement Effective Date such management believed that the Projections were reasonable and attainable, it being recognized by the Lenders, however, that projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that the actual results during the period or periods covered by the Projections probably will differ from the projected results and that the differences may be material.

(e) Except (i) as fully disclosed in the financial statements referred to in Section

6.05(a)(i) and (ii) for the Indebtedness permitted pursuant to Section 8.04, there were as of the Restatement Effective Date no liabilities or obligations with respect to the Company, the Acquired Business or any of their respective Subsidiaries of any nature whatsoever (whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise and whether or not due) which, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. As of the Restatement Effective Date and except for the Indebtedness permitted pursuant to Section 8.04, the Company knows of no reasonable basis for the assertion against it, the Acquired Business or any of their respective Subsidiaries of any liability or obligation of any nature whatsoever that is not fully disclosed in the financial statements referred to in Section 6.05(a) which, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(f) After giving effect to the Transaction, since November 30, 2009, there has been no change in the condition (financial or otherwise), business, operations, assets or liabilities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

purposes of or in connection with this Agreement, the other Credit Documents or any transaction contemplated herein or therein is true and accurate in all material respects on the date as of which such information is dated or certified and not incomplete by omitting to state any fact necessary to make such information (taken as a whole) not misleading in any material respect at such time in light of the circumstances under which such information was provided.

6.08 Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations.

(a) All proceeds of Loans made on the Restatement Effective Date shall be used by the Company (i) to finance the Acquisition and the Refinancing, (ii) for working capital and general corporate purposes and (iii) to pay fees and expenses in connection with the foregoing.

(b) The proceeds of Incremental Loans shall be utilized for the general corporate purposes of the Company and its Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, to finance Permitted Acquisitions, to pay fees and expenses in connection therewith and to prepay or repay the ABL Loans and other Indebtedness to the extent permitted by this Agreement).

(c) No part of the proceeds of any Loan or Incremental Loan will be used to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or to extend credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock. The making of any Loan or Incremental Loan and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate or be inconsistent with the provisions of Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

6.09 Tax Returns and Payments. Each of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries has timely filed or caused to be timely filed (including pursuant to any valid extensions of time for filing) with the appropriate taxing authority, all material returns, statements, forms and reports for taxes (the “Returns”) required to be filed by or with respect to the income, properties or operations of each of the Company and its Subsidiaries, as the case may be. The Returns accurately reflect in all material respects all liability for taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries as a whole for the periods covered thereby. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries have paid all material taxes payable by them (including in its capacity as withholding agent) which have become due other than those contested in good faith and for which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and which would not individually or in the aggregate cause a Material Adverse Effect. There is no action, suit, proceeding, investigation, audit, or claim now pending regarding any material taxes relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. As of the Restatement Effective Date, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has entered into an agreement or waiver or been requested to enter into an agreement or waiver extending any statute of limitations relating to the payment or collection of any material taxes of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. None of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has incurred, or will incur, any material tax liability in connection with the Transaction or any other transactions contemplated hereby (it being understood that the representation contained in this sentence does not cover any future tax liabilities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries arising as a result of the operation of their businesses in the ordinary course of business). The Company and each of its Subsidiaries have made adequate provision in accordance with GAAP for all material Taxes not yet due and payable. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries have ever been a party to any understanding or arrangement constituting a “tax shelter” within the meaning of Section 6111(c), Section 6111(d) or Section 6662(d)(2)(C)(iii) of the Code, or has ever “participated” in a “reportable transaction” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section

1.6011-4, except as could not be reasonably expected to, individually or in the aggregate, result in a

Material Adverse Effect.

6.10 ERISA; Foreign Pension Plans.

(a) No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance in all material respects with the presently applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Employee Benefit Plan. Using actuarial assumptions and computation methods consistent with subpart 1 of subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA, the aggregate liabilities of the Company and each ERISA Affiliate to all Multiemployer Plans in the event of a complete withdrawal therefrom, as of the close of the most recent fiscal year of each such Multiemployer Plan, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Each Foreign Pension Plan has been maintained in compliance with its terms and with the requirements of any and all applicable laws, statutes, rules, regulations and orders and has been maintained, where required, in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has incurred any obligation in an amount that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect in connection with the termination of or withdrawal from any Foreign Pension Plan.

6.11 The Security Documents.

The recordation of the Assignment of Security Interest in U.S. Patents and Trademarks in the form attached to the Security Agreement in the United States Patent and Trademark Office together with filings on Form UCC-1 made pursuant to the Security Agreement will be effective, under applicable law, to perfect the security interest granted to the Collateral Agent in the trademarks and patents covered by the Security Agreement.

(b) The security interests created in favor of the Collateral Agent, as Pledgee, for the benefit of the Secured Creditors under the Pledge Agreement constitute (upon satisfaction of any filing, delivery or other requirements in respect of the stock issued by any Foreign Subsidiary) first priority perfected security interests in the Pledged Securities (assuming, in respect of certificated stock and securities constituting promissory notes, the Collateral Agent’s continuous possession thereof) described in the Pledge Agreement, subject to no security interests of any other Person (other than Permitted Liens (and subject to the terms of the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement) described in clauses (y) and (z) of Section 8.01(v)). Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, no filings or recordings are required in order to perfect (or maintain the perfection or priority of) the security interests created in the Pledged Securities and the proceeds thereof under the Pledge Agreement (other than filings of proper UCC-1 Financing Statements in respect of the Pledged Securities constituting promissory notes and uncertificated equity interests, which filings have been made).

(c) Each of the Mortgages will create, upon the filing thereof, as security for the obligations purported to be secured thereby, a valid and enforceable (upon satisfaction of any filing or

other requirements set forth therein) and perfected first priority mortgage lien and security interest in the respective Mortgaged Property in favor of the Collateral Agent (or such other trustee as may be required or desired under local law) for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, superior to and prior to the rights of all third Persons and subject to no other Liens (except Permitted Encumbrances).

(b) Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice of, nor has any knowledge of, the occurrence or pendency or contemplation of any casualty or condemnation affecting all or any portion of its property.

6.17 Environmental Matters.

(a) Each of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries, their respective operations and Real Property is in compliance with and has no liability under Environmental Law, and has obtained and is in compliance with the requirements of any permits issued under such Environmental Law.

SECTION 10. The Administrative Agent.

10.01 Appointment.

(a) The Lenders hereby irrevocably designate and appoint DBTCA as Administrative Agent (for purposes of this Section 10 and Section 11.01, the term “Administrative Agent” also shall include DBTCA in its capacity as Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Documents) to act as specified herein and in the other Credit Documents. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance of such Note shall be deemed irrevocably to authorize, the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any other instruments and agreements referred to herein or therein and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent may perform any of its respective duties hereunder by or through its officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates.

(b) Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and for its benefit and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as are delegated to such Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with powers as are reasonably incidentally thereto. Each Lender (including the Required Lenders under and as defined in the Original Credit Agreement) hereby give the Administrative Agent and the Collateral agent their consent to enter into the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement and hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such actions, including without limitation making such filings and entering into Amendment No. 1 to the Security Agreement, Amendment No. 1 to the Pledge Agreement and Amendment No. 1 to the Subsidiary Guarantee (in each case, in substantially the form provided to the Lenders, with such changes thereto as the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary or appropriate), as may be necessary or desirable to reflect the intent of this Agreement.

10.02 Nature of Duties. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the other Credit Documents. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates shall be

liable for any action taken or omitted by it or them hereunder or under any other Credit Document or in connection herewith or therewith, unless caused by its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct. The duties of the Administrative Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; the Administrative Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement or any other Credit Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or the holder of any Note; and nothing in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the

Administrative Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except as expressly set forth herein or therein.

10.03 Lack of Reliance on the Administrative Agent. Independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the holder of each Note, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Company and its Subsidiaries in connection with the making and the continuance of the Loans and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Company and its Subsidiaries and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender or the holder of any Note with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender or the holder of any Note for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectibility, priority or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or the financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default.

10.04 Certain Rights of the Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent shall request instructions from the Required Lenders with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received instructions from the Required Lenders; and the Administrative Agent shall not incur liability to any Lender or the holder of any Note by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender or the holder of any Note shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Credit Document in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders.

10.05 Reliance. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, radiogram, order or other document or telephone message signed, sent or made by any Person that the Administrative Agent believed to be the proper Person, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and any other Credit Document and its duties hereunder and thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by the Administrative Agent.

10.06 Indemnification.

(a) To the extent the Administrative Agent (or any affiliate thereof) is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Company, the Lenders will reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any affiliate thereof), in proportion to their respective “percentage” as used in determining the Required Lenders (determined by the Lenders share of the aggregate outstanding Loans at the time), for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments,

costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind or nature (including, without limitation, any customary indemnifications provided to a deposit account bank pursuant to a “control agreement” referred to in the Security Agreement) which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent (or any affiliate thereof) in performing its respective duties hereunder or under any other Credit Document, (including with respect to any agreements or other instruments referred to herein or therein) or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Credit Document; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,

penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s (or such affiliate’s) bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct (each as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction).

(b) The Administrative Agent (and any affiliate thereof) shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Credit Document (except actions expressly required to be taken by it hereunder or under the Credit Documents) unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

10.07 The Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity. With respect to its obligation to make Loans under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have the rights and powers specified herein for a “Lender” and may exercise the same rights and powers as though it were not performing the duties specified herein; and the term “Lenders,” “Required Lenders,” “holders of Notes” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, include the Administrative Agent in its respective individual capacities. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, investment banking, trust or other business with, or provide debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to any Credit Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party (or any Person engaged in a similar business with any Credit Party or any Affiliate thereof) as if they were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from any Credit Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

10.08 Holders. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment, transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case may be, shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, assignee or endorsee, as the case may be, of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.

10.09 Resignation by the Administrative Agent.

(b) Upon any such notice of resignation by the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder who shall be a commercial bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (provided that the Company’s approval shall not be required if an Event of Default then exists).

(c) If a successor Administrative Agent shall not have been so appointed within such

15 Business Day period, the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that the Company’s consent shall not be required if an

Event of Default then exists), shall then appoint a successor Administrative Agent who shall serve as

Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

(d) If no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant to clause (b) or (c) above by the 30th Business Day after the date such notice of resignation was given by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective and the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and/or under any other Credit Document until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

(e) Upon a resignation of the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 10.09, the Administrative Agent shall remain indemnified to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the provisions of this Section 10 shall continue in effect for the benefit of the Administrative Agent for all of its actions and inactions while serving as the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 11. Miscellaneous.

11.01 Payment of Expenses, etc. The Company hereby agrees to: (a) whether or not the transactions herein contemplated are consummated, pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including Expenses) of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP and the Administrative Agent’s other counsel and consultants) in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the documents and instruments referred to herein and therein and any amendment, waiver or consent relating hereto or thereto, of the Administrative Agent and its affiliates in connection with its or their syndication efforts with respect to this Agreement and of the Administrative Agent and, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each of the Lenders in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the documents and instruments referred to herein and therein or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” or pursuant to any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings (including, in each case without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and consultants for the Administrative Agent and, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, counsel for Lenders); (b) pay and hold the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders harmless from and against any and all present and future stamp, excise and other similar documentary taxes with respect to the foregoing matters and save the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay or omission (other than to the extent attributable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender) to pay such taxes; and (c) indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives, agents, affiliates, trustees and investment advisors from and hold each of them harmless against any and all liabilities, obligations (including removal or remedial actions), losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees and disbursements) incurred by, imposed on or assessed against any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to, or by reason of, (i) any investigation, litigation or other proceeding (whether or not the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender is a party thereto and whether or not such investigation, litigation or other proceeding is brought by or on behalf of any Credit Party) related to the entering into and/or performance of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the use of the proceeds of any Loans hereunder or the consummation of the Transaction or any other transactions

contemplated herein or in any other Credit Document or the exercise of any of their rights or remedies provided herein or in the other Credit Documents, or (ii) the presence, Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Material on, at, under or from any Real Property at any time owned, leased or operated by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the generation, storage, treatment, transportation, handling or Release of Hazardous Material by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries at any location, whether or not owned, leased or operated by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the non-compliance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with any Environmental Law (including applicable permits thereunder) applicable to

their respective operations or any Real Property, or any Environmental Claim asserted against the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any Real Property at any time owned, leased or operated by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, including, in each case, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and other consultants incurred in connection with any such investigation, litigation or other proceeding (but excluding any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses to the extent incurred by reason of the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Person to be indemnified (each as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction)). To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay or hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Company agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the indemnified liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.

11.02 Right of Setoff.

(a) In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Lender is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to any Credit Party or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Lender (including, without limitation, by branches and agencies of such Lender wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of each Credit Party against and on account of the Obligations and liabilities of such Credit Party to such Lender under this Agreement or under any of the other Credit Documents, including, without limitation, all interests in Obligations purchased by such Lender pursuant to Section 11.06(b), and all other claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder and although said Obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured.

11.04 Benefit of Agreement; Assignments; Participations.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, no Credit Party may assign or transfer any of its rights, obligations or interest hereunder or under any other Credit Document without the prior written consent of all of the Lenders; and provided, further, that although any Lender may transfer, assign or grant participations in its rights hereunder, such Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder (and may not transfer or assign all or any portion of its Commitments or Loans hereunder except as provided in Sections 2.13 and 11.04(b)) and the transferee, assignee or the participant as the case may be shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder; and provided,

further, that no Lender shall transfer or grant any participation under which the participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or Note in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof, (it being understood that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement or to Section 11.07(a) shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or Fees payable hereunder), or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Total Commitment shall not constitute a change in the terms of any Commitment, and that an increase in any Commitment shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Credit Party of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or (iii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under all of the Security Documents (in each case except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents), or any Guarantor or Guarantee (in each case except as expressly provided in the relevant Credit Documents) supporting the Loans hereunder in which such participant is participating. In the case of any such participation, the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (the participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by the Company hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation. A participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 4.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such participant, unless the sale of the participation to such participant is made with the Company’s prior written consent or the right to greater payment results from a change in law after the participant becomes a participant. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Company, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amount of each participant’s interest in the Loans held by it (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and such Lender (but not any Agent, any Company or any other Lender) shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such Loan or other obligation hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender (or any Lender together with one or more other Lenders) may (x) assign all or a portion of its Commitment and related outstanding Obligations (or, if the Commitment has terminated, outstanding Obligations) hereunder to (i) (A) its parent company and/or any affiliate of such Lender which is at least 50% owned by such Lender or its parent company or (B) to one or more other Lenders or any affiliate of any such other Lender which is at least 50% owned by such other Lender or its parent company (provided that any fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of another fund which is a Lender (or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor or by an Affiliate of a Lender) shall be treated as an affiliate of such other Lender for the purposes of this subclause (x)(i)(B)), or (ii) in the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in loans,

any other fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of any Lender or by an affiliate of such investment advisor or (y) assign all, or if less than all, a portion equal to at least $1,000,000 hereunder to one or more Eligible Transferees (treating any fund that invests in loans and any other fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of such fund or by an affiliate of such investment advisor as a single Eligible Transferee), each of which assignees shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement; provided that (v) at such time, Schedule 1.01(a) shall be deemed modified to reflect the Commitments of such new Lender and of the existing Lenders, (w) upon the surrender of the relevant Note by the assigning Lender (or, upon such assigning Lender’s indemnifying the Company for

any lost Note pursuant to a customary indemnification agreement) new Notes will be issued, at the Company’s expense, to such new Lender and to the assigning Lender upon the request of such new Lender or assigning Lender, such new Notes to be in conformity with the requirements of Section 2.05 (with appropriate modifications) to the extent needed to reflect the revised Commitments, (x) the consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required in connection with any such assignment pursuant to clause (y) above (such consent, in any case, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), (y) the Administrative Agent shall receive at the time of each such assignment (other than an assignment between a Lender and its Affiliates), from the assigning or assignee Lender, the payment of a non-refundable assignment fee of $3,500 and (z) no such transfer or assignment will be effective until recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register pursuant to Section 11.13. To the extent of any assignment pursuant to this Section 11.04(b), the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Commitment.

(c) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Lender from pledging its Loans and Notes hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank and, with prior notification to the Administrative Agent (but without the consent of the Administrative Agent or the Company), any Lender which is a fund may pledge all or any portion of its Loans and Notes to its trustee or to a collateral agent providing credit or credit support to such Lender in support of its obligations to such trustee, such collateral agent or a holder of such obligations, as the case may be. No pledge pursuant to this clause (c) shall release the transferor Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.

(d) Any Lender which assigns all of its Commitment and/or Loans hereunder in accordance with Section 11.04(b) shall cease to constitute a “Lender” hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.10, 2.11, 4.04,

10.06, 11.01 and 11.06), which shall survive as to such assigning Lender.

11.05 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any holder of any Note in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of dealing between the Company or any other Credit Party and the Administrative Agent or any Lender or the holder of any Note shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights, powers and remedies herein or in any other Credit Document expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies which the Administrative Agent or any Lender or the holder of any Note would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or the holder of any Note to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

11.06 Payments Pro Rata.

(b) Each of the Lenders agrees that, if it should receive any amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents, or otherwise), which is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Loans or Fees, of a sum which with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a

greater proportion than the total of such Obligation then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such Obligation then owed and due to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the Obligations of the respective Credit Party to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all the Lenders in such amount; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

11.07 Calculations; Computations.

(a) The financial statements to be furnished to the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be made and prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States consistently applied throughout the periods involved (except as set forth in the notes thereto or as otherwise disclosed in writing by the Company to the Lenders; it being understood and agreed that notes may be absent in the interim financial statements). In addition, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all computations determining compliance with Sections 4.02 and 8, including definitions used therein, and for all purposes of determining Capital Expenditures, the Interest Coverage Ratio, Net Leverage Ratio and Senior Secured Net Leverage Ratio, shall utilize accounting principles and policies in effect from time to time; provided that, if the Company notifies the Administrative Agent that the Company requests an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any change occurring after the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date in GAAP or in the application thereof on the operation of such provision (or if the Administrative Agent notifies the Company that it or the Required Lenders request an amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose), regardless of whether any such notice is given before or after such change in GAAP or in the application thereof, then such provision shall be interpreted on the basis of GAAP as in effect and applied immediately before such change shall have become effective until such notice shall have been withdrawn or such provision amended in accordance herewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent expressly required pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, certain calculations shall be made on a pro forma basis.

(b) All computations of interest and Fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days (except for interest calculated by reference to the Prime Lending Rate, which shall be based on a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable) for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or Fees are payable.

beyond the Final Maturity Date, or reduce (or forgive) the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Fees thereon (except in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates), or reduce the principal amount thereof (it being understood that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement or to Section 11.07(a) shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or Fees for the purposes of this clause (i)), (ii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) under all the Security Documents, (iii) release all or substantially all of the Guarantors under the Guarantees, (iv) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 11.12 (except for technical amendments with respect to additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement which afford the protections to such additional extensions of credit of the type provided to the Commitments and the Loans on the Restatement Effective Date), (v) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders (it being understood that, with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment or Loans of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender in its capacity as a Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

(b) If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination of or to any of the provisions of this Agreement as contemplated by clauses (i) through (vii), inclusive, of the first proviso to Section 11.11(a), the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained, then the Company shall have the right, so long as all non-consenting Lenders whose individual consent is required are treated as described in either clause (A) or (B) below, to either (A) replace each such non-consenting Lender or Lenders with one or more Replacement Lenders pursuant to Section 2.13 so long as at the time of such replacement, each such Replacement Lender consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination or (B) terminate such non-consenting Lender’s Commitment and/or repay all outstanding Loans of such Lender; provided that, unless the Commitments which are terminated and Loans which are repaid pursuant to preceding clause (B) are immediately replaced in full at such time through the addition of new Lenders or the increase of the Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of existing Lenders (who in each case must specifically consent thereto), then in the case of any action pursuant to preceding clause (B), the Required Lenders (determined after giving effect to the proposed action) shall specifically consent thereto; provided, further, that the Company shall not have the right to replace a Lender, terminate its Commitment or repay its Loans solely as a result of the exercise of such Lender’s rights (and the withholding of any required consent by such Lender) pursuant to the second proviso to Section 11.11(a).

Applicable Margin for such Replacement Term Loans shall not be higher than the Applicable Margin for such Refinanced Term Loans, (c) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Replacement Term Loans shall not be shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Refinanced Term Loans, respectively, at the time of such refinancing (except to the extent of nominal amortization for periods where amortization has been eliminated as a result of prepayment of the applicable Loans) and (d) all other terms applicable to such Replacement Term Loans shall be substantially identical to, or less favorable to the Lenders providing such Replacement Term Loans than, those applicable to such Refinanced Term Loans except to the extent necessary to provide for covenants and other terms applicable to any period after the latest final maturity of the Loans in effect immediately prior to such refinancing.

11.12 Confidentiality.

(a) Subject to the provisions of clause (b) of this Section 11.12, each Lender agrees that it will use its reasonable efforts not to disclose without the prior consent of the Company (other than to its employees, auditors, advisors or counsel or to another Lender if the Lender or such Lender’s holding or parent company in its sole discretion determines that any such party should have access to such information, provided such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 11.12 to the same extent as such Lender) any information with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which is now or in the future furnished pursuant to this Agreement or any other Credit Document and which is designated by the Company to the Lenders in writing as confidential or would customarily be treated as confidential in banking practice; provided that any Lender may disclose any such information (a) as has become generally available to the public, (b) as may be required or appropriate in any report, statement or testimony submitted to any municipal, state or Federal regulatory body having or claiming to have jurisdiction over such Lender or to the Federal Reserve Board or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or similar organizations (whether in the United States or elsewhere) or their successors, (c) as may be required or appropriate in respect to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, (d) in order to comply with any law, order, regulation or ruling applicable to such Lender, (e) to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent and (f) to any prospective or actual transferee or participant (or its investment advisor) in connection with any contemplated transfer or participation of any of the Notes or Commitments or any interest therein by such Lender; provided that such prospective transferee agrees to maintain the confidentiality contained in this Section 11.12.

(b) The Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that each Lender may share with any of its Lending Affiliates any information related to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, any nonpublic customer information regarding the creditworthiness of the Company, the Company and its Subsidiaries, provided such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section

11.13 to the same extent as such Lender).

11.13 Register. The Company hereby designates the Administrative Agent to serve as its agent, solely for purposes of this Section 11.13, to maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it will record the Commitment from time to time of each of the Lenders, the Loans made by each of the Lenders and each repayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans of each Lender. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect the Company’s obligations in respect of such Loans. The Register shall be available for inspection by BorrowerCompany and any Lender (with respect to its own interest only), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. With respect to any Lender, the transfer of the Commitment of such Lender and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan made pursuant to such Commitment shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent with respect to ownership of such Commitment and Loans and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Commitment and Loans shall remain owing to the transferor. The registration of the assignment or transfer of all or part of any Commitment and Loans shall be recorded by

the Administrative Agent on the Register only upon the acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment and Assumption Agreement pursuant to Section 11.04(b). Coincident with the delivery of such an Assignment and Assumption Agreement to the Administrative Agent for acceptance and registration of the assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the assigning or transferor Lender shall surrender the Note evidencing such Loan, and thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the assigning or transferor Lender and/or the new Lender. The Company agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities of whatsoever nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent in performing its duties under this Section 11.13 other than those resulting from the Administrative Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence.

11.14 USA Patriot Act. Each Lender subject to the USA PATRIOT ACT (Title 111 of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”) hereby notifies the Company that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, they are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Company and the other Credit Parties and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Company and the other Credit Parties in accordance with the Patriot Act.

11.15 Survival. All indemnities set forth herein including, without limitation, in Sections 2.10, 2.11, 4.04, 10.06 and 11.01 shall survive the execution, delivery and termination of this Agreement and the Notes and the making and repayment of the Obligations.

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

11.17 Acknowledgement. The entry into this Agreement and the Borrowing of the Term B-1 Loans on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date shall be deemed to be an amendment, supplementation and modification, and not a Refinancing (as defined in the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement), in accordance with Section 5.3(a) of the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement. The Administrative Agent

shall use good faith efforts to notify the Revolving Credit Agent (as defined in the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement) of this Agreement in accordance with Section 5.3(b) of the ABL/Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement.
