(b) Upon the making of a Swingline Loan (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default and regardless of whether a Settlement (as defined below) has been requested with respect to such Swingline Loan, each Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the Swingline Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Swingline Loan in proportion to its Applicable Percentage of the Revolving Commitment. The Swingline Lender may, at any time, require the Lenders to fund their participations. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this clause is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or the subsequent termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Lender shall comply with its obligation under this clause by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the ABL Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The ABL Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any

participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this clause, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the ABL Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the ABL Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the ABL Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the ABL Administrative Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this clause and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or to the ABL Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this clause shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.

(c) The ABL Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Swingline Lender, shall request settlement (a “Settlement”) with the Lenders on at least a weekly basis or on any date that the ABL Administrative Agent elects, by notifying the Lenders of such requested Settlement by facsimile, telephone or e-mail no later than 12:00 p.m. New York time on the date of such requested Settlement (the “Settlement Date”). Each Lender (other than the Swingline Lender, in the case of the Swingline Loans) shall transfer the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the outstanding principal amount of the applicable Loan with respect to which Settlement is requested to the ABL Administrative Agent, to such account of the ABL Administrative Agent as the ABL Administrative Agent may designate not later than 2:00 p.m., New York time, on such Settlement Date. Settlements may occur during the existence of a Default and whether or not the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have then been satisfied. Such amounts transferred to the ABL Administrative Agent shall be applied against the amounts of the Swingline Lender’s Swingline Loans and together with the Swingline Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan, shall constitute Revolving Loans of such Lenders, respectively. If any such amount is not transferred to the ABL Administrative Agent by any Lender on such Settlement Date, the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon as specified in Section 2.07.

SECTION 2.06 Letters of Credit.

(a) The Letter of Credit Commitment.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) each Issuing Bank agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Lenders set forth in this Section 2.06, from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower, and to amend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with Section 2.06(b) below; and (B) the Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of the Borrower and any drawings thereunder; provided that, after giving effect to any LC Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, (x) the total Revolving Exposure of all Lenders shall not exceed the Maximum Availability, (y) the Revolving Exposure of any Lender shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment, and (z) the total LC Exposure shall not exceed $25,000,000;

provided further that at no time prior to the Scheduled Termination Date may the sum of (x) the aggregate undrawn Stated Amount of Letters of Credit that expire after the fifth Business Day prior to the Scheduled Termination Date plus (y) the aggregate amount of the Extending Lenders’ Applicable Percentage of all Loans exceed the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments of the Extending Lenders. Each request by the Borrower for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrower that the LC Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. Each Issuing Bank (other than Wells Fargo or any of its Affiliates) shall notify the ABL Administrative Agent in writing on each Business Day of all Letters of Credit issued on the prior Business Day by such Issuing Bank; provided that (A) until the ABL Administrative Agent advises any such Issuing Bank that the provisions of Section 4.02 are not satisfied, or (B) the aggregate amount of the Letters of Credit issued in any such week exceeds such amount as shall be agreed by the ABL Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank, such Issuing Bank shall be required to so notify the ABL Administrative Agent in writing only once each week of the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank during the immediately preceding week as well as the daily amounts outstanding for the prior week, such notice to be furnished on such day of the week as the ABL Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank may agree. On the Effective Date, the parties hereto agree that the Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit pursuant to the terms and conditions, and entitled to the benefits, of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, without any further action by the Borrower or any other Person.

(ii) No Letter of Credit shall be issued if:

(A) subject to Section 2.06(b)(ii), the expiry date of any such requested Standby Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance, unless the Required Lenders have approved such expiry date; or

(B) subject to Section 2.06(b)(ii), the expiry date of any such requested Trade Letter of Credit would occur more than 120 days after the date of issuance, unless the Required Lenders have approved such expiry date; or

(C) the expiry date of any such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless either such Letter of Credit is Cash Collateralized on or prior to the Letter of Credit Expiration Date or all the Lenders have approved such expiry date.

(iii) No Letter of Credit shall be issued without the prior consent of the applicable Issuing Bank if:

(A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing

Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to such Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Effective Date and which such Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it; or

(B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally; or

(C) except as otherwise agreed by such Issuing Bank, such Letter of Credit is in an initial Stated Amount less than $25,000, in the case of a Trade Letter of Credit, or $100,000, in the case of a Standby Letter of Credit; or

(D) such Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than dollars; provided that, if such Issuing Bank, in its discretion, approves the issuance of a Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than dollars, all reimbursements by the Borrower of the honoring of any drawing under such Letter of Credit shall be paid in the currency in which such Letter of Credit was denominated, unless payment in dollars is approved by the ABL Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank in their reasonable discretion.

(iv) The Borrower shall not permit any Letter of Credit to be amended if (A) the applicable Issuing Bank would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

(v) Each Issuing Bank shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and each Issuing Bank shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the ABL Administrative Agent in Article VIII with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such Issuing Bank in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “ABL Administrative Agent” as used in Article VIII included such Issuing Bank with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to each Issuing Bank.

(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit.

(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to an Issuing Bank in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Financial Officer of the

Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by such Issuing Bank not later than 11:00 a.m. at least two (2) Business Days (or such other date and time as such Issuing Bank may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G) the currency thereof, which shall be dollars unless otherwise approved by such Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2,06(a)(iii); and (H) such other matters as such Issuing Bank may reasonably require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank: (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as such Issuing Bank may reasonably require. Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to the applicable Issuing Bank and the ABL Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as such Issuing Bank or the ABL Administrative Agent may reasonably require.

(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the applicable Issuing Bank will provide the ABL Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless an Issuing Bank has received written notice from any Lender, the ABL Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one (1) Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article IV shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such Issuing Bank shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with such Issuing Bank’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance or amendment of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to (without any further action), and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from such Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit. Upon any change in the Commitments under this Agreement, it is hereby agreed that with respect to the total LC Exposure, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations hereby created to reflect the new Applicable Percentages of the assigning and assignee Lenders.

(iii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, an Issuing Bank may, in its sole and absolute discretion, issue a Standby Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit such Issuing Bank to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period

(commencing with the date of issuance of such Standby Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Standby Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by such Issuing Bank, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to such Issuing Bank for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) such Issuing Bank to permit the extension of such Standby Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that such Issuing Bank shall not permit any such extension if (A) such Issuing Bank has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Standby Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.06(a) or otherwise), or (B) such Issuing Bank has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five (5) Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date from the ABL Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, and in each such case setting forth in reasonable detail the circumstances surrounding the failure to satisfy one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 and directing such Issuing Bank not to permit such extension.

(iv) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, each Issuing Bank will also deliver to the Borrower and the ABL Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall notify the Borrower and the ABL Administrative Agent thereof; provided, however, that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such payment. Not later than (A) 4:00 p.m. on the date the applicable Issuing Bank notifies the Borrower of any payment by any Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Notice Date”), if such Issuing Bank notifies the Borrower of such payment not later than 1:30 p.m. on the Honor Notice Date, or (B) 11:00 a.m. on the first Business Day immediately following the Honor Notice Date, if such Issuing Bank notifies the Borrower of such payment after 1:30 p.m. on the Honor Notice Date, the Borrower shall reimburse such Issuing Bank through the ABL Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse such Issuing Bank by the time required pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence (each such date, a “Reimbursement Date”), the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Reimbursement Date in an amount equal to the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the aggregate Revolving Commitments and the conditions set

forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Borrowing Request), and the ABL Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Reimbursement Date, the Unreimbursed Amount, and the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Any notice given by an Issuing Bank or the ABL Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.06(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(ii) Each Lender shall, upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.06(c)(i), make funds available to the ABL Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the ABL Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the ABL Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.06(c)(iii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The ABL Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the applicable Issuing Bank.

(iii) In the event that an Issuing Bank honors any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the amount of such drawing shall bear interest at the rate set forth in Sections 2.13(a) or 2.13(b), as applicable, from the date such drawing was honored through and including the Reimbursement Date pursuant to Section 2.06(c)(i). In the event that any drawing under a Letter of Credit is not reimbursed by the Reimbursement Date and the Unreimbursed Amount is not fully refinanced by a Revolving Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable Issuing Bank an LC Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which LC Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the rate set forth in Section 2.13(g). In such event, each Lender’s payment to the ABL Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.06(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such LC Borrowing and shall constitute an LC Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.06.

(iv) Until each Lender funds its Revolving Loan or LC Advance pursuant to this Section 2.06(c) to reimburse any Issuing Bank for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of such Issuing Bank.

(v) Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or LC Advances to reimburse an Issuing Bank for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.06(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against such Issuing Bank, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not

similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.06(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the Borrower of a Borrowing Request). No such making of an LC Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse an Issuing Bank for the amount of any payment made by such Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

(vi) If any Lender fails to make available to the ABL Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.06(c) by the time specified in Section 2.06(c)(ii), such Issuing Bank (acting through the ABL Administrative Agent) shall be entitled to recover from such Lender, on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Issuing Bank at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by such Issuing Bank in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such Issuing Bank in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan included in the relevant Revolving Borrowing or LC Advance in respect of the relevant LC Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of such Issuing Bank submitted to any Lender (through the ABL Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) At any time after an Issuing Bank has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender such Lender’s LC Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.06(c), if the ABL Administrative Agent receives for the account of such Issuing Bank any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the ABL Administrative Agent), the ABL Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s LC Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the ABL Administrative Agent.

(ii) If any payment received by the ABL Administrative Agent for the account of an Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.06(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 2.20 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Issuing Bank in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the ABL Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the ABL Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse each applicable Issuing Bank for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each LC Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document;

(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), such Issuing Bank or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;

(iv) any payment by such Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by such Issuing Bank under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect;

(v) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; or

(vi) the fact that any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will promptly notify the ABL Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank. The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against such Issuing Bank and its correspondents unless such notice is given within ten (10) days after the issuance or amendment, as applicable, of any Letter of Credit.

(f) Role of Issuing Bank. Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, no Issuing Bank shall have any responsibility to

obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the Issuing Banks, the ABL Administrative Agent or any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of any Issuing Bank shall be liable to any Lender for: (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; (iii) any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit or any error in interpretation of technical terms; or (iv) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the Issuing Banks, the ABL Administrative Agent or any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of any Issuing Bank shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 2.06(e): provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against any such Issuing Bank, and any such Issuing Bank may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which were caused by such Issuing Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such Issuing Bank’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit, as determined in each case by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, any Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary (or such Issuing Bank may refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit), and such Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

(g) Cash Collateral. Upon the request of the ABL Administrative Agent, (i) if any Issuing Bank has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an LC Borrowing that remains outstanding, or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any LC Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrower shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then outstanding amount of all LC Exposure. Sections 2.11 and 2.18(b) set forth certain additional requirements to deliver Cash Collateral hereunder. For purposes of this Section 2.06, Section 2.11 and Section 2.18(b), “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the ABL Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each applicable Issuing Bank and the Lenders, as collateral for the LC Exposure, cash or deposit account balances in an amount equal to 103% of the outstanding amount of all LC Exposure, pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to the ABL Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank (which documents are hereby consented to by the

Lenders). The Borrower hereby grants to the Collateral Agent a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in a blocked deposit account at Wells Fargo (the “LC Collateral Account”). If, at any time, the ABL Administrative Agent determines that any funds held as Cash Collateral are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the ABL Administrative Agent or that the total amount of such funds is less than the aggregate outstanding amount of all LC Exposure, the Borrower will, forthwith upon demand by the ABL Administrative Agent, pay to the ABL Administrative Agent, as additional funds to be deposited as Cash Collateral, an amount equal to the excess of (x) such aggregate outstanding amount over (y) the total amount of funds, if any, then held as Cash Collateral that the ABL Administrative Agent determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim. Upon the drawing of 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 so applied, such funds shall thereafter be applied to satisfy other Obligations or, if no Cash Dominion Period has occurred and is continuing, such funds shall be paid to the Borrower.

(h) Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by an Issuing Bank and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance shall apply to each Trade Letter of Credit.

(i) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the ABL Administrative Agent (A) for the account of each Non-Extending Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Rate times the daily Stated Amount under each such Letter of Credit and (B) for the account of each Extending Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, a Letter of Credit Fee for each Letter of Credit equal to the Extended Term Applicable Rate times the daily Stated Amount under each such Letter of Credit. For purposes of computing the daily Stated Amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.05; provided that, for purposes only of calculating the Letter of Credit Fee owing hereunder, the daily Stated Amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit that provides for one or more automatic increases in the Stated Amount thereof shall be deemed to be the maximum Stated Amount then in effect under such Letter of Credit (at the time of each such calculation of the Letter of Credit Fee), rather than the maximum Stated Amount for which such Letter of Credit may be honored. Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) due and payable in arrears on the last day of each of March, June, September and December commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit) and on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, and (ii) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears; provided that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) due and payable in arrears on the last day of each month (commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit) and on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, and (ii) computed on a monthly basis in arrears. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate and/or the Extended Term Applicable Rate, as the case may be, during any month or quarter, as applicable, the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate or the Extended Term Applicable Rate, as applicable, separately for each period during such month or quarter, as

applicable), that such Applicable Rate or such Extended Term Applicable Rate, as applicable, was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, while any Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the rate provided in Section 2.13(g) hereof.

(j) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to Issuing Banks. The Borrower shall pay to the ABL Administrative Agent, for the account of each Issuing Bank, a fronting fee (the “Fronting Fee”) with respect to each Letter of Credit at a rate equal to 0.125% per annum, computed on the daily Stated Amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. For purposes of computing the daily Stated Amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.05: provided that, for purposes only of calculating the Fronting Fee owing hereunder, the daily Stated Amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit that provides for one or more automatic increases in the Stated Amount thereof shall be deemed to be the maximum Stated Amount then in effect under such Letter of Credit (at the time of each such calculation of the Fronting Fee), rather than the maximum Stated Amount for which such Letter of Credit may be honored. Fronting Fees shall be due and payable on a quarterly basis in arrears on the last day of each of March, June, September and December (commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Standby Letter of Credit) and on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Fronting Fees shall be due and payable on a monthly basis in arrears on the last day of each month (commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Standby Letter of Credit) and on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the ABL Administrative Agent, for the account of each Issuing Bank, the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such Issuing Bank relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

(k) Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.

(1) Replacement of Issuing Banks. Any Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower (the Borrower’s consent not to be unreasonably withheld), the ABL Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The ABL Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of any Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.06(j). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

SECTION 2.07 Funding of Borrowings.

(a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 3:00 p.m., New York time, to the account of the ABL Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.05. The ABL Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to the Funding Account; provided that Base Rate Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of (i) an LC Borrowing as provided in Section 2.06(c) shall be remitted by the ABL Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank and (ii) a Protective Advance shall be retained by the ABL Administrative Agent.

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

SECTION 2.08 Interest Elections.

(a) Each Revolving Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing as the same Type and, in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings or Protective Advances, which may not be converted or continued.

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

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

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

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

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be a Base Rate Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and

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

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

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

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

SECTION 2.09 Termination and Reduction of Revolving Commitments.

(a) Unless previously terminated, all Revolving Commitments of the Non-Extending Lenders shall terminate on the Revolving Credit Termination Date with respect to Non-Extending Lenders, and the Borrower shall pay, in full and in cash, all outstanding Loans and all other outstanding Obligations then owing to the Non-Extending Lenders.

(b) Unless previously terminated, all Revolving Commitments of the Extending Lenders shall terminate on the Revolving Credit Termination Date with respect to Extending Lenders, and the Borrower shall pay, in full and in cash, all outstanding Loans and all other outstanding Obligations then owing to the Extending Lenders.

(c) The Borrower may, at any time, terminate in whole the Revolving Commitments upon (i) the payment in full of all outstanding Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon and any amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.16 in the case of a prepayment of any Eurodollar Loans other than on the last day of the relevant Interest Period, (ii) the cancellation and return of all outstanding Letters of Credit (or, alternatively, the Cash Collateralization (or, at the discretion of the ABL Administrative Agent, the furnishing to the ABL Administrative Agent of a back up standby letter of credit satisfactory to the ABL Administrative Agent) of each such Letter of Credit as of such date), (iii) the payment in full of the accrued and unpaid fees and (iv) the payment in full of all reimbursable expenses and other Obligations together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

(d) The Borrower may from time to time reduce the Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) each such reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be in an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof and (ii) the Borrower shall not reduce the Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, the total Revolving Exposure would exceed the Maximum Availability.

(e) The Borrower shall notify the ABL Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments under clauses (c) or (d) of this Section 2.09 at least three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the ABL Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.09 shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the ABL Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall first be applied ratably to the Revolving Commitments of each Non-Extending Lender and, after the Revolving Commitments of the Non-Extending Lenders have been terminated in full, shall be applied ratably to the Revolving Commitments of each Extending Lender; provided that any reduction of the Revolving Commitments made after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default shall be applied ratably to the Revolving Commitments of each Lender.

(f) The Revolving Commitments of the Non-Extending Lenders shall be non-ratably reduced on the Effective Date such that the Revolving Commitments of the Non-Extending Lenders as of the Effective Date are as set forth on the Commitment Schedule.

SECTION 2.10 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the ABL Administrative Agent, for the account of each Non-Extending Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan and all other outstanding Obligations then owing to the Non-Extending Lenders on the Revolving Credit Termination Date with respect to Non-Extending Lenders, (ii) to the ABL Administrative Agent, for the account of each Extending Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan and all other outstanding Obligations then owing to the Extending Lenders on the Revolving Credit Termination Date with respect to Extending Lenders, (iii) to the ABL Administrative Agent the then unpaid amount of each Protective Advance on the earlier of (A) the applicable Revolving Credit Termination Date or (B) demand by the ABL Administrative Agent, and (iv) to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of the Extended Revolving Credit Termination Date and the first date after such Swingline Loan is made that is the 15th or last day of a calendar month and is at least two Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Revolving Loan is made, the Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding.

(b) During any Cash Dominion Period, on each Business Day, at or before 11:00 a.m., New York time, the ABL Administrative Agent shall apply all immediately available funds credited to the Collection Account, first, to prepay any Protective Advances that may be outstanding and, second, to prepay the outstanding Obligations and to Cash Collateralize outstanding LC Exposure.

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

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

(e) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to clause (c) or (d) of this Section 2.10 shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the ABL Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(f) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the ABL Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

SECTION 2.11 Prepayment of Loans.

(a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with clause (e) of this Section 2.11.

(b) In the event and on such occasion that the total Revolving Exposure exceeds the Maximum Availability, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans, LC Exposure and/or Swingline Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such excess (or provide Cash Collateral in accordance with Section 2.06(g)).

(c) In the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of Holdings or any Loan Party with respect to any Prepayment Event, the Borrower shall, promptly after such Net Proceeds are received by Holdings or any Loan Party, prepay the Obligations as set forth in Section 2.11(d) below in an aggregate amount equal to: (x) if at the time of receipt of such Net Proceeds, a Cash Dominion Period shall have occurred and be continuing, 100% of such Net Proceeds and (y) if at the time of receipt of such Net Proceeds, no Cash Dominion Period is occurring, (i) in the case of a prepayment event described in clause (a) of the definition of the term “Prepayment Event”, 50% of such Net Proceeds if the relevant property or asset would not be included in any determination of Eligible Accounts, Eligible Credit Card Account Receivable or Eligible Inventory and 100% of such Net Proceeds if the relevant property or asset would be included in the determination of Eligible Accounts, Eligible Credit Card Account Receivable or Eligible Inventory, and (ii) in the case of a prepayment event described in clause (b) of the definition of the term “Prepayment Event”, 100% of such Net Proceeds, provided that, in the case of (y) above, if the Borrower shall deliver to the ABL Administrative Agent a certificate of a Financial Officer to the effect that the Loan Parties intend to apply the Net Proceeds from such event (or a portion thereof specified in such certificate), within 270 days after receipt of such Net Proceeds, to acquire (or replace) equipment or other tangible assets (excluding inventory) to be used in the business of the Loan Parties, and certifying that no Default has occurred and is continuing, then no prepayment shall be required pursuant to this clause in respect of the Net Proceeds specified in such certificate; provided further that to the extent that any such Net Proceeds therefrom have not been so reinvested by the end of such 270-day period, a prepayment shall be required at such time in an amount equal to such Net Proceeds that have not been so reinvested; and provided, further, that (A) if a Cash Dominion Period shall commence prior to the reinvestment of all or any portion of such Net Proceeds during such 270-day period, the ABL Administrative Agent may require that an amount equal to such Net Proceeds (or the amount of such Net Proceeds not then reinvested, as the case may be) be promptly applied to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Loans

(without a permanent reduction of the Revolving Commitment) and (B) for the avoidance of doubt, if a Cash Dominion Period shall commence during such 270-day period but after the reinvestment of all or a portion of such Net Proceeds, no prepayment shall be required pursuant to this clause in respect of such Net Proceeds (or the amount of such Net Proceeds so reinvested, as the case may be).

(d) All Net Proceeds to be applied to the Obligations pursuant to Section2.11(c) shall be applied, first to prepay any Protective Advances that may be outstanding, second to prepay the Loans (including Swing Line Loans) without a corresponding reduction in the Revolving Commitment and to Cash Collateralize outstanding LC Exposure (if required pursuant to any term of this Agreement); provided that allocation of such prepayments as between the Lenders and the Term Lenders shall be subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.

(e) The Borrower shall notify the ABL Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by telephone (confirmed by facsimile) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, or (ii) in the case of prepayment of a Base Rate Revolving Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment or (iii) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.09, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.09. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Revolving Borrowing, the ABL Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Revolving Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Revolving Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Revolving Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13.

SECTION 2.12 Fees.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the ABL Administrative Agent for the account of each Non-Extending Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the average daily amount of the Available Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which the Non-Extending Lenders’ Revolving Commitments terminate. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date with respect to Non-Extending Lenders, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). No commitment fee shall accrue with respect to the Revolving Commitment of any Non-Extending Lender that defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder for so long as such default is occurring.

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the ABL Administrative Agent for the account of each Extending Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Extended Term Applicable Rate on the average daily amount of the Available Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which the Extending Lenders’ Revolving Commitments terminate. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date with respect to Extending Lenders, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). No commitment fee shall accrue with respect to the Revolving Commitment of any Extending Lender that defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder for so long as such default is occurring.

(c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the ABL Administrative Agent, for its own account and for the account of the Lenders, as applicable, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon in the Fee Letter.

(d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the ABL Administrative Agent for distribution to the Lenders and each Issuing Bank, as appropriate. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances except where paid in error.

SECTION 2.13 Interest.

(a) The Loans comprising each Base Rate Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan) made by, and owing to, each Non-Extending Lender shall bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(b) The Loans comprising each Base Rate Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan) made by, and owing to, each Extending Lender shall bear interest at the Extended Term Base Rate plus the Extended Term Applicable Rate.

(c) The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing made by, and owing to, each Non-Extending Lender shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

(d) The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing made by, and owing to, each Extending Lender shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Extended Term Applicable Rate.

(e) Each Protective Advance made by, and owing to, a Non-Extending Lender shall bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for Revolving Loans plus 2%.

(f) Each Protective Advance made by, and owing to, an Extending Lender shall bear interest at the Extended Term Base Rate plus the Extended Term Applicable Rate for Revolving Loans plus 2%.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default pursuant to clauses (a), (b), (d) (with respect to Section 6.14), (g), (h) or (i) of Article VII, the ABL Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may, at their option, declare that (i) all Loans shall bear interest at 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loans as provided in the preceding clauses of this Section 2.13 or (ii) any fee payable pursuant to Section 2.06(i) shall accrue at 2% plus the rate applicable to such fee or other obligation as provided hereunder; provided that such declaration may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 9.02 requiring the consent of “each Lender affected thereby” for reductions in interest rates.

(h) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and upon termination of the Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to clause (g) of this Section 2.13 shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of a Base Rate Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(i) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the ABL Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. All Letter of Credit Fees and Fronting Fees payable pursuant to Sections 2.06(i) and 2.06(j) shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

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

(a) the ABL Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or

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

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

ineffective, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as a Base Rate Borrowing.

SECTION 2.15 Increased Costs.

(a) If any Change in Law made after the date hereof shall:

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

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

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

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

(c) A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in clause (a) or (b) of this Section 2.15 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.15 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 2.16 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.09(d) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.17 Taxes.

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

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

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

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

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

(f) If any Lender or the ABL Administrative Agent shall become aware that it is entitled to receive a refund in respect of amounts paid by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.17, which refund in the sole good faith judgment of such Lender or ABL Administrative Agent is allocable to such payment, it shall promptly notify the Borrower of the availability of such refund and shall, within thirty (30) days after the receipt of a request by the Borrower, apply for such refund. If the ABL Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole good faith discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the ABL Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of the ABL Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the ABL Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the ABL Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such

refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require the ABL Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

SECTION 2.18 Payments Generally; Allocation of Proceeds; Sharing of Set-offs.

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 1:00 p.m., New York time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the ABL Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the ABL Administrative Agent at its offices at 270 Park Avenue, New York, New York, except payments to be made directly to either an Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The ABL Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in dollars.

(b) Any proceeds of Collateral received by the ABL Administrative Agent pursuant to the Collateral Documents (i) not constituting either (A) a specific payment of principal, interest, fees or other sum payable under the Loan Documents (which shall be applied as specified by the Borrower), (B) a mandatory prepayment (which shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.11) or (C) amounts to be applied from the Collection Account during a Cash Dominion Period (which shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.10(b)) or (ii) after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the ABL Administrative Agent so elects or the Required Lenders so direct, shall be applied ratably first, to pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements including amounts then due to the ABL Administrative Agent and any Issuing Bank from the Borrower (other than in connection with Banking Services or Swap Obligations), second, to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to the Lenders from the Borrower (other than in connection with Banking Services or Swap Obligations), third, to pay interest due in respect of the Protective Advances, fourth, to pay the principal of the Protective Advances, fifth, to pay interest then due and payable on the Loans (other than the Protective Advances) ratably, sixth, to prepay principal on the Loans (other than the Protective Advances) and LC Borrowings ratably, seventh, to pay an amount to the ABL Administrative Agent to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit and the aggregate amount of any unpaid LC Borrowings, eighth, to payment of any amounts owing with respect to Banking Services and Swap Obligations, and ninth, to the payment of any other Secured Obligation due to the ABL Administrative Agent or any Lender by the Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, unless so directed by the Borrower, or unless a Default is in existence, neither the ABL Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall apply any payment which it receives to any Eurodollar Loan of a

Class, except (a) on the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable to any such Eurodollar Loan or (b) in the event, and only to the extent, that there are no outstanding Base Rate Loans of the same Class and, in any event, the Borrower shall pay the break funding payment required in accordance with Section 2.16. The ABL Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and reverse and reapply any and all such proceeds and payments to any portion of the Secured Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the proceeds of Term Facility Primary Collateral and ABL Facility Primary Collateral shall be applied as between the Lenders and the Term Lenders, in the manner set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement.

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in LC Disbursements; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this clause shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this clause shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

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

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it hereunder, then the ABL Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the ABL Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations hereunder until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

SECTION 2.19 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then:

(a) such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Sections 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender (and the Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment);

(b) if any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Deteriorating Lender, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the ABL Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the ABL Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

SECTION 2.20 Returned Payments. If after receipt of any payment which is applied to the payment of all or any part of the Obligations, the ABL Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender is for any reason compelled to surrender such payment or proceeds to any Person because such payment or application of proceeds is invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside, determined to be void or voidable as a preference, impermissible setoff, or a diversion of trust funds, or for any other reason, then the Obligations or part thereof intended to

be satisfied shall be revived and continued and this Agreement shall continue in full force as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the ABL Administrative Agent or such Lender. The provisions of this Section 2.20 shall be and remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by the ABL Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in reliance upon such payment or application of proceeds. The provisions of this Section 2.20 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.21 Effective Date Adjustments.

(a) Revolving Loans. On the Effective Date, the Borrower shall prepay, or shall be deemed to prepay, any Revolving Loans outstanding immediately prior to the occurrence of the Effective Date (the “Effective Date Loans”), and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.16, to all Lenders under the Existing Credit Agreement in accordance with their “Applicable Percentages” under the Existing Credit Agreement. Simultaneously, the Borrower may draw, or be deemed to draw, in an amount up to the principal amount of the Effective Date Loans, upon the Revolving Commitments of all Lenders hereunder in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages hereunder. The ABL Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower, shall determine the manner in which the foregoing shall be effected, including, without limitation, by non-ratable paydowns to Lenders whose Applicable Percentages decline on the Effective Date and non-ratable advances from Lenders whose Applicable Percentages rise on the Effective Date.

(b) Letters of Credit. On the Effective Date, (i) each Lender hereunder irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from each Issuing Bank and from each Lender with an interest in an Existing Letter of Credit immediately prior to the Effective Date pursuant to Section 2.06(d) of the Existing Credit Agreement, on the terms and conditions set forth in Section 2.06 of this Agreement, for such Lender’s own account and risk, an undivided interest equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage in such Issuing Bank’s obligations and rights under and in respect of each Existing Letter of Credit and the amount of each draft paid by such Issuing Bank thereunder and (ii) each Issuing Bank and each Lender with an interest in an Existing Letter of Credit immediately prior to the Effective Date pursuant to Section 2.06(d) of the Existing Credit Agreement hereby irrevocably agrees to sell and assign and hereby sells and assigns an undivided interest in such Issuing Bank’s obligations and rights under and in respect of each Existing Letter of Credit, as necessary to achieve ratable interests in the Existing Letters of Credit for each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage hereunder, giving effect to the amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII

The Administrative Agent

SECTION 8.01 Resignation of Original Agent. The Original Agent hereby resigns, effective upon the Effective Date, as ABL Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent under the Existing Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Lenders and the Borrower hereby accept such resignation. The Original Agent shall, at the expense of the Borrower, execute and deliver to the ABL Administrative Agent such instruments, documents, and agreements, and shall do all such things, from time to time hereafter as the ABL Administrative Agent reasonably may request to carry into effect the provisions and intent of this resignation. Without limiting the foregoing, with respect to all UCC-1 Financing Statements filed and naming any Loan Party, as Debtor, and the Original Agent, as Secured Party, the Original Agent hereby authorizes the ABL Administrative Agent to file (1) UCC-3 Amendments replacing the Original Agent as Secured Party with the Collateral Agent, or (2) UCC Termination Statements releasing certain filings by the Original Agent, as Secured Party, and a Loan Party, as Debtor, as applicable. Until such time as the Original Agent and/or the Loan Parties shall have executed and delivered such instruments, documents and agreements, and shall have done all such other things as the ABL Administrative Agent reasonably may request to carry into effect the provisions and intent of this Section 8.01, the Original Agent agrees to hold all Collateral in its possession, custody, or control (or in the possession, custody, or control of its agents or bailees) as of the Effective Date as agent for the ABL Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders party to this Agreement solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted to each in such Collateral. All provisions of Article VIII and Section 9.03 of this Agreement shall continue to inure to the benefit of the Original Agent as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it (a) while it was ABL Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent under, and as defined in, the Existing Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents and (b) during the Transition Period.

101

SECTION 8.02 Appointment of ABL Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent. Each of the Lenders and each of the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints WFRF as ABL Administrative Agent and authorizes the ABL Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf, including execution of the other Loan Documents, and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the ABL Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints WFRF as Collateral Agent for purposes of the perfection of all Liens created by the Loan Documents and all other purposes stated therein and authorizes the Collateral Agent to enter into and exercise such powers as set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement.

The bank serving as the ABL Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the ABL Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary of a Loan Party or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the ABL Administrative Agent hereunder.

SECTION 8.03 Limited Duties. The ABL Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the ABL Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the ABL Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the ABL Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the ABL Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as ABL Administrative Agent or any of their Affiliates in any capacity. The ABL Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02”) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The ABL Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the ABL Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender. The ABL Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection with any Loan Document, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the creation, perfection or priority of Liens on the Collateral or the existence of the Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the ABL Administrative Agent.

102

SECTION 8.04 Reliance. The ABL Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The ABL Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The ABL Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

SECTION 8.05 Delegation of Rights and Duties. The ABL Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the ABL Administrative Agent. The ABL Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding clauses shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the ABL Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as ABL Administrative Agent.

SECTION 8.06 Resignation of ABL Administrative Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor ABL Administrative Agent as provided in this clause, the ABL Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring ABL Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring ABL Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor ABL Administrative Agent which shall be a commercial bank or an Affiliate of any such commercial bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as ABL Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring ABL Administrative Agent and the retiring ABL Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor ABL Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the ABL Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring ABL Administrative Agent its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as ABL Administrative Agent.

SECTION 8.07 Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the ABL Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the ABL Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this

103

Agreement, any other Loan Document or related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

SECTION 8.08 Reports. Each Lender hereby agrees that: (a) it has requested a copy of each Report prepared by or on behalf of the ABL Administrative Agent; (b) it has requested a copy of all financial statements and projections required to be delivered by the Borrower hereunder; (b) the ABL Administrative Agent (i) makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the completeness or accuracy of any Report or any of the information contained therein or any inaccuracy or omission contained in or relating to a Report and (ii) shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report; (c) the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, and that any Person performing any field examination will inspect only specific information regarding the Loan Parties and will rely significantly upon the Loan Parties’ books and records, as well as on representations of the Loan Parties’ personnel and that the ABL Administrative Agent undertakes no obligation to update, correct or supplement the Reports; (d) it will keep all Reports confidential and strictly for its internal use, not share the Report with any Loan Party or any other Person except as otherwise permitted pursuant to this Agreement; and (e) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, it will pay and protect, and indemnify, defend, and hold the ABL Administrative Agent and any such other Person preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including reasonable attorney fees) incurred by any such Person as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender.

SECTION 8.09 Agents Generally. The Agents shall not have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such.

SECTION 8.10 Defaulting Lenders.

(a) [RESERVED]

(b) The non-Defaulting Lenders shall also have the right, but not the obligation, in their respective, sole and absolute discretion, to cause the termination and assignment, without any further action by the Defaulting Lender for no cash consideration (pro rata, based on the respective Revolving Commitments of those Lenders electing to exercise such right), of the Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment to fund future Loans. Upon any such purchase of the Applicable Percentage of any Defaulting Lender, the Defaulting Lender’s share in future Loans and Letters of Credit and its rights under the Loan Documents with respect thereto shall terminate on the date of purchase, and the Defaulting Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest, including, if so requested, an Assignment and Assumption.

(c) In addition to the rights of the non-Defaulting Lenders set forth in Section 8.10(b) above, the Borrower shall have the right, at any time, upon notice to a Defaulting Lender or a Deteriorating Lender and the ABL Administrative Agent, to replace such Defaulting Lender or Deteriorating Lender in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.19(b) hereof.

104

(d) Each Defaulting Lender shall indemnify the ABL Administrative Agent and each non-Defaulting Lender from and against any and all loss, damage or expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and funds advanced by the ABL Administrative Agent or by any non-Defaulting Lender, on account of a Defaulting Lender’s failure to timely fund its Applicable Percentage of a Loan or to otherwise perform its obligations under the Loan Documents.

SECTION 8.11 Indemnification of Agents. The Lenders agree to indemnify each of the ABL Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Original Agent (provided that the Lenders shall indemnify the Original Agent solely with respect to actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Original Agent during the Transition Period) in its capacity as such, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by the Loan Parties and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), ratably according to their respective Applicable Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section 8.11 (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Revolving Commitment of any Lender shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Applicable Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the ABL Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Original Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Revolving Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Non-Extending Lender shall be obligated to indemnify the ABL Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the Original Agent for any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which relate to matters subsequent to the termination of such Non-Extending Lender’s Revolving Commitment and repayment of all Obligations to such Non-Extending Lender (for clarity, such Non-Extending Lenders shall remain liable for any claims which relate to a period during which they were a “Lender” hereunder, even if first asserted after the termination of such Non-Extending Lender’s Revolving Commitment and repayment of all Obligations to such Non-Extending Lender); provided further that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the ABL Administrative Agent’s, the Collateral Agent’s or the Original Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section 8.11 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

SECTION 9.02 Waivers; Amendments.

(a) No failure or delay by the ABL Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the ABL Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and under any other Loan Document are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by clause (b) of this Section 9.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the ABL Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (i) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or, (ii) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the ABL Administrative Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall: (i) increase the Revolving Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (provided that the ABL Administrative Agent may make Protective Advances as set forth in Section 2.04), (ii) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce or forgive any interest or fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (iii) postpone the Revolving Credit Termination Date or any scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any date for the payment of any interest, fees or other Obligations payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Revolving Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.18(b) or

107

2.18(d) in a manner that would alter the manner in which payments are shared, without the written consent of each Lender, (v) increase the advance rates set forth in the definition of Borrowing Base or add new categories of eligible assets, without the written consent of the Supermajority Lenders, (vi) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders”, “Super-Majority Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender, (vii) release all or substantially all of the Loan Guarantors from their obligations under the Loan Guaranty (except as otherwise permitted herein or in the other Loan Documents), without the written consent of each Lender, or (viii) except as provided in clauses (d) and (e) of this Section or in any Collateral Document, release all or substantially all of the Collateral, without the written consent of each Lender; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the ABL Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of the ABL Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be; and provided further that with respect to any amendment, waiver or modification of this Agreement or any Loan Document requiring the consent of the Required Lenders or of all affected Lenders pursuant to this Section 9.02, Ares Capital Markets Group shall not be entitled to vote with respect to any Disqualified Ares Loans. The ABL Administrative Agent may also amend the Commitment Schedule to reflect assignments entered into pursuant to Section 9.04.

(c) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the ABL Administrative Agent, at its option and in its sole discretion, to release any Loan Guarantor or any Liens granted to the ABL Administrative Agent by the Loan Parties on any Collateral (i) upon the termination of all Revolving Commitments, payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Secured Obligations (other than Unliquidated Obligations), and the cash collateralization of all Unliquidated Obligations in a manner satisfactory to any Issuing Bank, (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if such sale or disposition is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, (iii) constituting property leased to a Loan Party under a lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement, or (iv) as required to effect any sale or other disposition of such Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the ABL Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Article VII. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the ABL Administrative Agent will not release any Liens on Collateral without the prior written authorization of the Required Lenders; provided that the ABL Administrative Agent may in its discretion, release its Liens on Collateral valued in the aggregate not in excess of $500,000 during any calendar year without, the prior written authorization of the Required Lenders. Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of the Loan Parties in respect of) all interests retained by the Loan Parties, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.

(d) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of “each Lender” or “each Lender affected thereby,” the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Borrower may elect to replace a Non-Consenting Lender as a

108

Lender party to this Agreement; provided that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity which is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the ABL Administrative Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Loans and other Obligations due to the Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of clause (b) of Section 9.04, and (ii) the Borrower shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement (1) all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Non-Consenting Lender by the Borrower hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Non-Consenting Lender under Sections 2.15 and 2.17. and (2) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 2.16 had the Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender.

SECTION 9.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a) The Borrower and each other Loan Party shall jointly and severally pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the ABL Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one primary counsel and one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction for the ABL Administrative Agent, in connection with the syndication and distribution (including, without limitation, via the internet or through a service such as Intralinks) of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of the Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions of the Loan Documents (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), and the creation, perfection or protection of the Liens under the Loan Documents, (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder, (iii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the ABL Administrative Agent, the Original Agent (provided that the Borrower and each other Loan Party shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Original Agent solely in connection with the enforcement, collection or protection of the Original Agent’s rights as “Collateral Agent” under, and as defined in, the Primary Collateral Access Agreement, the Real Property Holding Company Collateral Access Agreement and the existing Amended and Restated Deposit Account Control Agreement described in Section 5.14(b) during the Transition Period), any Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the ABL Administrative Agent, the Original Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement, collection or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section 9.03, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit. Expenses being reimbursed by the Borrower under this Section include, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, costs and expenses incurred in connection with:

(i) appraisals;

109

(ii) field examinations and the preparation of Reports based on the fees charged by a third party retained by the ABL Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower or the internally allocated per diem fees for each Person employed by the ABL Administrative Agent with respect to each field examination, together with the reasonable fees and expenses associated with collateral monitoring services performed by the ABL Administrative Agent (and the Borrower agrees to modify or adjust the computation of the Borrowing Base which may include maintaining additional Reserves, modifying the advance rates or modifying the eligibility criteria for the components of the Borrowing Base to the extent required by the ABL Administrative Agent as a result of any such evaluation, appraisal or monitoring);

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

111

(A) the Borrower; provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default pursuant to clauses (a), (b), (g), (h) or (i) of Article VII has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee;

(B) the ABL Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the ABL Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A) (i) no assignment may be made by an Extending Lender to a Non-Extending Lender unless such Non-Extending Lender shall agree to become an Extending Lender for purposes of the assigned rights and obligations pursuant to documentation acceptable to the ABL Administrative Agent and the Borrower; and (ii) any assignment by a Non-Extending Lender to an Extending Lender shall, without further action, result in the Revolving Commitments so assigned being extended to the Extended Termination Date and otherwise entitle the assignee to the rights and obligations of an Extending Lender with respect to the Revolving Commitments so assigned (including the applicable fee and interest rates);

(B) no assignment may be made to any of (i) Holdings, (ii) any Permitted Holder or (iii) any Affiliate of Holdings or any Permitted Holder (other than Ares Capital Markets Group) if, after giving effect to such assignment, Holdings, the Permitted Holders and their Affiliates (other than Ares Capital Markets Group), collectively, would hold in excess of 10% of the total aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments;

(D) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this

(F) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the ABL Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more Credit Contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower, the Loan Parties and their related parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws.

For the purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the term “Approved Fund” has the following meaning:

“Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to clause (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15. 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with clause (c) of this Section 9.04.

(iv) The ABL Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Revolving Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower,

113

the ABL Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, any Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in clause (b) of this Section 9.04 and any written consent to such assignment required by clause (b) of this Section 9.04, the ABL Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05. 2.06(d) or (e), 2.07(b), 2.18(d) or 9.03(c), the ABL Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this clause.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the ABL Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the ABL Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to clause (c)(ii) of this Section 9.04, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 9.04. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender.

(d) (ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.15 or 2.17 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 Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 unless

114

such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.17(e) as though it were a Lender.

(e) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 9.04 shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

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

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

SECTION 9.07 Severability. Any provision of any Loan Document held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity,

115

legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 9.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or such Loan Guarantor against any of and all the Secured Obligations held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under the Loan Documents and although such obligations may be unmatured. The applicable Lender shall notify the Borrower and the ABL Administrative Agent of such set-off or application, provided that any failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such set-off or application under this Section. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

Loan Guaranty

SECTION 10.01 Guaranty. Each Loan Guarantor hereby agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the Lenders the prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Secured Obligations and all costs and expenses including, without limitation, all court costs and attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees (including allocated costs of in-house counsel and paralegals) and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses paid or incurred by the ABL Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders in endeavoring to collect all or any part of the Secured Obligations from, or in prosecuting any action against, the Borrower, any Loan Guarantor or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Secured Obligations (such costs and expenses, together with the Secured Obligations, collectively the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Loan Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed in whole or in part without notice to or further assent from it, and that it remains bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any such extension or renewal. All terms of this Loan Guaranty apply to and may be enforced by or on behalf of any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of any Lender that extended any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations.

SECTION 10.02 Guaranty of Payment. This Loan Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. Each Loan Guarantor waives any right to require the ABL Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender to sue the Borrower, any Loan Guarantor,

120

any other guarantor, or any other person obligated for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations (each, an “Obligated Party”), or otherwise to enforce its payment against any collateral securing all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations.

SECTION 10.03 No Discharge or Diminishment of Loan Guaranty.

(a) Except as otherwise provided for herein, the obligations of each Loan Guarantor hereunder are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations), including: (i) any claim of waiver, release, extension, renewal, settlement, surrender, alteration, or compromise of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, by operation of law or otherwise; (ii) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Borrower or any other guarantor of or other person liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Obligated Party, or their assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Obligated Party; or (iv) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which any Loan Guarantor may have at any time against any Obligated Party, the ABL Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender, or any other person, whether in connection herewith or in any unrelated transactions.

(b) The obligations of each Loan Guarantor hereunder are not subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise (other than a defense of payment or performance), or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit payment by any Obligated Party, of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof.

(c) Further, the obligations of any Loan Guarantor hereunder are not discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by: (i) the failure of the ABL Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy with respect to all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any waiver or modification of or supplement to any provision of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any release, non-perfection, or invalidity of any indirect or direct security for the obligations of the Borrower for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any obligations of any other guarantor of or other person liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) any action or failure to act by the ABL Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender with respect to any collateral securing any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (v) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other circumstance, act, omission or delay that might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Loan Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Loan Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations).

SECTION 10.04 Defenses Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Guarantor hereby waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Borrower or any Loan Guarantor or the unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the

121

Borrower or any Loan Guarantor, other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Loan Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any person against any Obligated Party, or any other person. The ABL Administrative Agent may, at its election, foreclose on any Collateral held by it by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such Collateral in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise act or fail to act with respect to any collateral securing all or a part of the Guaranteed Obligations, compromise or adjust any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, make any other accommodation with any Obligated Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to it against any Obligated Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of such Loan Guarantor under this Loan Guaranty except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly paid in cash. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though that election may operate, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Loan Guarantor against any Obligated Party or any security.

SECTION 10.05 Rights of Subrogation. No Loan Guarantor will assert any right, claim or cause of action, including, without limitation, a claim of subrogation, contribution or indemnification that it has against any Obligated Party, or any collateral, until the Loan Parties and the Loan Guarantors have fully performed all their obligations to the ABL Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders.

SECTION 10.06 Reinstatement; Stay of Acceleration. If at any time any payment of any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise, each Loan Guarantor’s obligations under this Loan Guaranty with respect to that payment shall be reinstated at such time as though the payment had not been made and whether or not the ABL Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders are in possession of this Loan Guaranty. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations shall nonetheless be payable by the Loan Guarantors forthwith on demand by the Lender.

SECTION 10.07 Information. Each Loan Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrower’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that each Loan Guarantor assumes and incurs under this Loan Guaranty, and agrees that neither the ABL Administrative Agent nor any Issuing Bank nor any Lender shall have any duty to advise any Loan Guarantor of information known to it regarding those circumstances or risks.

SECTION 10.08 Termination. The Lenders may continue to make loans or extend credit to the Borrower based on this Loan Guaranty until three days after it receives written notice of termination from any Loan Guarantor. Notwithstanding receipt of any such notice, each Loan Guarantor will continue to be liable to the Lenders for any Guaranteed

122

Obligations created, assumed or committed to prior to the third day after receipt of the notice, and all subsequent renewals, extensions, modifications and amendments with respect to, or substitutions for, all or any part of that Guaranteed Obligations.

SECTION 10.09 Taxes. Subject to the same exceptions and limitations applicable to the Borrower under Section 2.17 of the Agreement, mutatis mutandis, all payments of the Guaranteed Obligations will be made by each Loan Guarantor free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if any Loan Guarantor shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the ABL Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Loan Guarantor shall make such deductions and (iii) such Loan Guarantor shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

SECTION 10.10 Maximum Liability. The provisions of this Loan Guaranty are severable, and in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Loan Guarantor under this Loan Guaranty would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of such Loan Guarantor’s liability under this Loan Guaranty, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Loan Guaranty to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the Loan Guarantors or the Lenders, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding (such highest amount determined hereunder being the relevant Loan Guarantor’s “Maximum Liability”). This Section with respect to the Maximum Liability of each Loan Guarantor is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Lenders to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable law, and no Loan Guarantor nor any other person or entity shall have any right or claim under this Section with respect to such Maximum Liability, except to the extent necessary so that the obligations of any Loan Guarantor hereunder shall not be rendered voidable under applicable law. Each Loan Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the Maximum Liability of each Loan Guarantor without impairing this Loan Guaranty or affecting the rights and remedies of the Lenders hereunder; provided that nothing in this sentence shall be construed to increase any Loan Guarantor’s obligations hereunder beyond its Maximum Liability.

SECTION 10.11 Contribution. In the event any Loan Guarantor (a “Paying Guarantor”) shall make any payment or payments under this Loan Guaranty or shall suffer any loss as a result of any realization upon any collateral granted by it to secure its obligations under this Loan Guaranty, each other Loan Guarantor (each a “Non-Paying Guarantor”) shall contribute to such Paying Guarantor an amount equal to such Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Applicable Percentage” of such payment or payments made, or losses suffered, by such Paying Guarantor. For purposes of this Article X, each Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Applicable Percentage” with respect to any such payment or loss by a Paying Guarantor shall be determined as of the date on which such payment or loss was made by reference to the ratio of (i) such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability as of such date (without giving effect to any right to

123

receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder) or, if such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability has not been determined, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Non-Paying Guarantor from the Borrower after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means) to (ii) the aggregate Maximum Liability of all Loan Guarantors hereunder (including such Paying Guarantor) as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder), or to the extent that a Maximum Liability has not been determined for any Loan Guarantor, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Loan Guarantors from the Borrower after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means). Nothing in this provision shall affect any Loan Guarantor’s several liability for the entire amount of the Guaranteed Obligations (up to such Loan Guarantor’s Maximum Liability). Each of the Loan Guarantors covenants and agrees that its right to receive any contribution under this Loan Guaranty from a Non-Paying Guarantor shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. This provision is for the benefit of the ABL Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Lenders and the Loan Guarantors and may be enforced by any one, or more, or all of them in accordance with the terms hereof.

SECTION 10.12 Liability Cumulative. The liability of each Loan Party as a Loan Guarantor under this Article X is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each Loan Party to the ABL Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Loan Party is a party or in respect of any obligations or liabilities of the other Loan Parties, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary.

SECTION 10.13 Common Enterprise. The successful operation and condition of each of the Loan Parties is dependent on the continued successful performance of the functions of the group of the Loan Parties as a whole and the successful operation of each of the Loan Parties is dependent on the successful performance and operation of each other Loan Party. Each Loan Party expects to derive benefit, directly and indirectly, from (i) successful operations of each of the other Loan Parties and (ii) the credit extended by the Lenders to the Borrower hereunder, both in their separate capacities and as members of the group of companies.
