Each such telephonic request shall be irrevocable and shall be promptly confirmed by a Borrowing Request delivered by hand or facsimile.

(d) If, for any reason a Swing Line Loan is not repaid on the applicable Swing Line Maturity Date, the Administrative Agent may, on or after the immediately following Business Day, effect repayment of the unpaid amount of such Swing Line Loan as follows:

(i) Without any request therefor from any Borrower, the Administrative Agent may make a Revolving Credit Loan that is a Base Rate Loan to the Borrowers on behalf of the Lenders, the proceeds of which shall be applied to repay all or a portion of the unpaid amount of such Swing Line Loan. Upon making such Base Rate Loan, the Administrative Agent will send notice thereof to the Borrowers and the Lenders (unless the Administrative Agent has received a written Notice of Declining Lender from one or more Lenders (A) in the case of a Swing Line Loan requested by Texadian, prior to 5:00 p.m., New York time, one (1) Business Day prior to the Administrative Agent’s receipt of any Borrowing Request for the applicable Swing Line Loan, and (B) in the case of a Swing Line Loan not requested by the Borrowers to repay a Daylight Overdraft Loan or to reimburse a drawing under a Letter of Credit, prior to 5:00 p.m., New York time, one (1) Business Day prior to the Administrative Agent’s receipt of any Borrowing Request for the applicable Daylight Overdraft Loan or the Issuing Bank’s receipt of the Application for applicable Letter of Credit, in which event in each such case the provisions of Section 2.8 of this Agreement shall be applicable), whereupon, the Lenders (including the Swing Line Lender to the extent that it is also a Lender), other than any Lender that has elected to become a Declining Lender in accordance with this Agreement with respect to such Swing Line Loan, shall fund their respective pro rata share of such Revolving Credit Loan without offset, deduction or counterclaim.

(ii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that all or any portion of such Revolving Credit Loan may not be (A) legally made by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers for any other reason (including the bankruptcy or insolvency of any Borrower), or (B) made by the Administrative Agent because any of the conditions precedent to the making of a Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to Section 2.1(a) or Section 6.2 of this Agreement could not be fulfilled as of the date such Revolving Credit Loan would otherwise have been made, each Lender severally, unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that it shall, without regard to the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, purchase a participating interest in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s pro rata share of such Swing Line Loan (unless the Administrative Agent has received a written Notice of Declining Lender from one or more Lenders (A) in the case of a Swing Line Loan requested by the Borrowers, prior to 5:00 p.m., New York time, one (1) Business Day prior to the Administrative Agent’s receipt of any Borrowing Request for the applicable Swing Line Loan, and (B) in the case of a Swing Line Loan not requested by the Borrowers to repay a Daylight Overdraft Loan or to reimburse a drawing under a Letter of Credit, prior to 5:00 p.m., New York time, one (1) Business Day prior to the Administrative Agent’s receipt of any Borrowing Request for the applicable Daylight Overdraft Loan or the Issuing Bank’s receipt of the Application for applicable Letter of Credit, in which event in each such case the provisions of Section 2.8 of this Agreement shall be applicable). Each such Lender will immediately transfer to the Administrative Agent, in immediately available funds, the amount of its participation, and the proceeds of such participation shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent to the Swing Line Lender, to such extent as will reduce the amount of the participating interest retained by the Swing Line Lender in its Swing Line Loans. Each Lender purchasing a participating interest in Swing Line Loans under this Section 2.2(d)(ii) shall have the same rights as a Lender under this Agreement. In the event any Lender fails to make available to the Swing Line Lender the amount of such Lender’s participation as provided in this Section 2.2(d)(ii), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest at the customary rate set by the Swing Line Lender for correction of errors among banks for one (1) Business Day and thereafter at Alternative Base Rate.

(e) Each Lender’s obligation to purchase participating interests pursuant to Section 2.2(d)(ii) of this Agreement shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender or any Borrower may have against the Swing Line Lender, any Borrower or any other Person, as the case may be, for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default; (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; (iv) any breach of this Agreement by any Borrower or any Lender; or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

(f) Unless and until each Swing Line Loan is repaid to the Swing Line Lender, each such Swing Line Loan shall constitute a Loan from the Swing Line Lender to the Borrowers which is payable on the applicable Swing Line Maturity Date and which shall otherwise be entitled to all of the benefits of, and the security provided for in, the Loan Documents.

(g) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Swing Line Lender may, in its sole discretion, require such Defaulting Lender or, in the event such Defaulting Lender fails to do so, require the Borrowers to deposit Cash Collateral with the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount equal to such Defaulting Lender’s participations in any requested or outstanding Swing Line Loans, a first priority security interest in which Cash Collateral is hereby granted in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the sole benefit of the Swing Line Lender. In the event that such Defaulting Lender fails to deposit Cash Collateral as required hereby and the Borrowers are required to do so, the Borrowers may, at any time thereafter, upon five (5) Business Days prior written notice to such Defaulting Lender, require that such Defaulting Lender terminate its obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and transfer all of such Lender’s Credit Extensions to one or more of the existing Lenders (upon their consent to accept such accommodations) or to one or more new Lenders acceptable to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent if such transferee Lenders can be found.

(h) Each of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6.2 of this Agreement shall be fully applicable to any Swing Line Loans.

(c) If, for any reason a Daylight Overdraft Bank is not repaid on the day such Daylight Overdraft Loan was made, the Administrative Agent may, on or after the immediately following Business Day, effect repayment of the unpaid amount of such Daylight Overdraft Loan as follows:

(i) Without any request therefor from the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent may make, at all times prior to the Syndication Date, a Base Rate Loan and, at all times from and including the Syndication Date, a Swing Line Loan to the Borrowers, the proceeds of which shall be applied to repay all or a portion of the unpaid amount of such Daylight Overdraft Loan.

(ii) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that all or any portion of such Base Rate Loan or Swing Line Loan may not be (A) legally made by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers for any other reason (including the bankruptcy or insolvency of any Borrower), or (B) made by the Administrative Agent because any of the conditions precedent to the making of a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.1(a) of this Agreement or Swing Line Loan pursuant to Section 2.2(a) of this Agreement, as applicable, or Section 6.2 of this Agreement could not be fulfilled as of the date such Base Rate Loan or Swing Line Loan would otherwise have been made, each Lender severally, unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that it shall, without regard to the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, purchase a participating interest in such Daylight Overdraft Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s pro rata share of such Daylight Overdraft Loan (unless the Administrative Agent has received a written Notice of Declining Lender from one or more Lenders (A) in the case of a Daylight Overdraft Loan requested by the Borrowers, prior to 5:00 p.m., New York time, one (1) Business Day prior to the Administrative Agent’s receipt of any Borrowing Request for the applicable Daylight Overdraft Loan, and (B) in the case of a Daylight Overdraft Loan not requested by the Borrowers to reimburse a drawing under a Letter of Credit, prior to 5:00 p.m., New York time, one (1) Business Day prior to the Issuing Bank’s receipt of the Application for applicable Letter of Credit, in which event in each such case the provisions of Section 2.8 of this Agreement shall be applicable).

(iv) Each Loan made and Letter of Credit issued under this Agreement may be subject to multiple sublimits as provided in this Section 2.4, and to the extent such Letter of Credit or Loan is subject to multiple sublimits, it shall reduce the availability under each applicable sublimit accordingly.

(b) The sublimits set forth in Section 2.4(a) of this Agreement exist for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and may be modified, increased, or supplemented by the Required Lenders in their SOLE AND ABSOLUTE DISCRETION at any time. No modification or increase of any sublimit set forth in this Section 2.4, or addition of any supplemental sublimit, shall be deemed to be a commitment or consent by any Lender to any make any Credit Extension.

2.5 Notes. The Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by promissory notes of the Borrowers, substantially in the form of Exhibit I attached hereto (each, a “Note”), payable to the order of each Lender. Each Lender is hereby authorized to record the date, Type, the Revolving Credit Loan Maturity Date, and amount of each Loan made or Converted by such Lender, and the date and amount of each payment or prepayment of principal thereof, on the schedule annexed to and constituting a part of its Note, and any such recordation shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so recorded (absent manifest error). Each Note shall be dated on or about the Closing Date (and on or prior to the date of the first Loan hereunder) or the date the applicable Lender’s Uncommitted Participation Amount becomes effective and stated to mature on the Revolving Credit Termination Date and to bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from time to time outstanding at the applicable interest rate per annum determined as provided in Section 4.1 of this Agreement. Interest on each Note shall be payable on the dates specified in Section 4.1 of this Agreement. The Notes issued hereunder shall reflect the joint and several obligations of all of the Borrowers to repay in full all Loans made hereunder.

2.6 Fees.

Each such fee shall be due and payable on the earlier of the date that the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders makes demand for payment of such fee or as otherwise agreed to by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent from time to time. All fees will be non-refundable upon being earned. The Borrowers’ obligation to pay the foregoing fees will be joint and several and not be subject to counterclaim or setoff for, or be otherwise affected by, any claim or dispute the Borrowers may have.

2.7 Facility Increases and Decreases.

(a) Once during the term hereof, the Borrowers shall have the right to request that the Maximum Availability be increased by an aggregate amount to be agreed by and among the Borrowers and the Lenders as of the date of such request; provided, however, that any such increase is subject to satisfaction of each of the conditions precedent contained in Section 6.3 of this Agreement. Any such increase shall be in a minimum amount and in multiples in excess thereof acceptable to the Lenders in their sole discretion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, satisfaction of any conditions precedent contained in Section 6.3 of this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a commitment or consent by any Lender to any such increase in the Maximum Availability or in such Lender’s Uncommitted Participation Amount and any such commitment or consent shall be at the sole discretion of each Lender and shall not be effective unless and until such consent is evidenced in writing. In connection with any increase in the Maximum Availability pursuant to this Section 2.7(a), the Administrative Agent shall, without the necessity of the consent of any other Person, reallocate Credit Extensions among the Lenders to reflect each Lender’s pro rata share thereof based on their respective Uncommitted Participation Amounts after giving effect to such increase.

(b) On the Closing Date, the Elected Facility Amount shall be $50,000,000. From and after the Closing Date, the Borrowers shall have the right to elect a new Elected Facility Amount of either $30,000,000 or $50,000,000; provided, however, that (i) no such election may result in the Facility Usage exceeding the proposed Elected Facility Amount, (ii) no such election may result in the Borrowers being in violation of Section 8.1 of this Agreement or in any other Default or Event of Default, and (iii) the Borrowers may not elect a new Elected Facility Amount more than three times in the aggregate and not more than twice during any calendar quarter.

2.8 Election of Approving Lenders to Continue Funding.

(a) If one or more Lenders (the “Declining Lender” or “Declining Lenders”) provides the Administrative Agent with, and the Administrative Agent has actually received, a written Notice of Declining Lender indicating that for reasons other than a Default or an Event of Default that such Lender or Lenders have elected to thereafter not fund any Loans or issue or participate in additional Letters of Credit, and in any such event any other Lender or Lenders do approve further Loans or the further issuances of, or amendments to, Letters of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders by 6:00 p.m. (New York City time) that same day.

(b) If the Lender or Lenders which are not the Declining Lenders desire, in their full and absolute discretion, they may (on a pro rata basis, based on the Uncommitted Participation Amounts of all Lenders that have elected to continue funding, as adjusted after such Conversion to Approving Lenders Funding Date) make the full amount of such requested Loan or issue the requested Letter of Credit irrespective of the Declining Lenders’ disapproval (in such case, the Lender or Lenders that elect to continue funding shall be referred to as the “Approving Lenders”). In such event, from such date forward (the “Conversion to Approving Lenders Funding Date”) (i) all subsequent Loans (which shall include any Continuations of any prior Loans) and issuances or amendments of Letters of Credit (which shall include any extensions of any previously issued Letters of Credit) shall be made solely by the Approving Lenders and no Letter of Credit thereafter issued (or extended), or Loans (including any such Continuations) related thereto shall be participated in by the Declining Lenders, and (ii) the Lenders’ Credit Extensions for each such Approving Lender shall be increased on the basis of each such Loan, and issuance of a Letter of Credit, but in any event by an amount not more than its pro rata share, based on the Uncommitted Participation Amounts of all Approving Lenders, of the Declining Lender’s Uncommitted Participation Amount (determined as of the Conversion to Approving Lenders Funding Date). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the election of any Approving Lender to make its pro rata share of the full amount of any requested Loan or participate in its pro rata share of any issuance of a Letter of Credit from and after the Conversion to Approving Lender Funding Date shall not have the effect of increasing such Lender’s Uncommitted Participation Amount without the express written consent of such Lender.

(c) A Lender that becomes a Declining Lender or any Affiliate of a Lender that becomes a Declining Lender shall not be considered a Swap Bank with respect to Swap Contracts entered into after the applicable Lender has become a Declining Lender. Accordingly, if a Swap Bank should enter into a Swap Contract with any Borrower after such Lender or its Affiliate that is a Lender has become a Declining Lender and the Intercreditor Agreement shall have been executed, any applicable Borrower’s obligations under such Swap Contract shall not be secured by the Collateral hereunder, and the Declining Lender or its Affiliate that is a Swap Bank shall not be entitled to any sharing of amounts pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement with respect to such Swap Contracts entered into after it or its Affiliate that is a Lender has become a Declining Lender.

(d) Until all Declining Lenders are fully repaid, repayments (including realizations from Collateral) shall be applied as follows:

(i) For purposes of allocating repayments prior to the effectiveness of the Intercreditor Agreement or after the execution of the Intercreditor Agreement but prior to the occurrence of a Sharing Event under the Intercreditor Agreement, all repayments of Loans and Reimbursement Obligations shall be allocated among the Lenders according to the pro rata share of each Lender as such pro rata share existed on the day such Loan was made or such Letter of Credit issued and the Administrative Agent shall apply such payment in chronological order of outstanding Obligations, with the oldest Obligation (based on the date made or issued) being repaid first.

(ii) After the execution of the Intercreditor Agreement and upon the occurrence of a Sharing Event under the Intercreditor Agreement, if any, and thereafter, repayments hereunder shall be allocated according to Section 2.01 of the Intercreditor Agreement.

SECTION 3. LETTERS OF CREDIT

3.1 L/C Uncommitted Participation Amount.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including but not limited to Sections 4.13(c) and 6.2 of this Agreement, each Issuing Bank, in reliance on the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in Section 3.4(a) of this Agreement, agrees to consider, on an UNCOMMITTED AND ABSOLUTELY DISCRETIONARY BASIS, issuing letters of credit (each a “Letter of Credit”, and, together, the “Letters of Credit”) for the account of the Borrowers on any Business Day prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date (except for Letters of Credit with an expiry date later than the Revolving Credit Termination Date, in respect of which the applicable Issuing Bank agrees to issue such Letters of Credit only to the extent such Letters of Credit have been or can be cash collateralized in the manner provided for in Section 3.1(b) of this Agreement) in such form as may be approved from time to time by the applicable Issuing Bank; provided, however, that no Issuing Bank shall have any obligation to consider issuing any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) any Lender’s Credit Extensions shall exceed the lesser of (1) such Lender’s Uncommitted Participation Amount (including any increase or reduction thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) or (2) such Lender’s Uncommitted Participation Percentage of the Borrowing Base then in effect; (ii) the Facility Usage would exceed the lesser of (1) the Elected Facility Amount or (2) the Borrowing Base; (iii) a violation of any of the sublimits set forth in Section 2.4 of this Agreement would result, or (iv) the Administrative Agent has received a written Notice of Declining Lender from such L/C Participant prior to 5:00 p.m., New York time, one (1) Business Day prior to the Administrative Agent’s receipt of the applicable Application and no Conversion to Approving Lenders Funding Date has occurred with respect to the applicable Declining Lender. If the Administrative Agent does receive a written Notice of Declining Lender on a timely basis (and no Conversion to Approving Lenders Funding Date has occurred with respect to such Declining Lender), the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers and such Issuing Bank by 6:00 p.m., New York time, on the Business Day of the proposed date of issuance, and the proposed Letter of Credit will not be issued. If

the Approving Lenders elect to issue the Letter of Credit in the absence of a Conversion to Approving Lenders Funding Date notwithstanding the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such Notice of Declining Lender, such Issuing Bank shall, if possible (on a pro rata basis among the Approving Lenders), issue the full amount of such requested Letter of Credit; provided, however, that if such Issuing Bank shall not be able to issue the full amount of such requested Letter of Credit, such Issuing Bank shall not issue such Letter of Credit and neither such Issuing Bank nor any Lender shall be considered a Declining Lender (other than any Lender having delivered a Notice of Declining Lender) or Defaulting Lender as a result of such Issuing Bank not having issued such Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Issuing Bank shall be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if the aggregate Face Amount of all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, after giving effect to the Face Amount of such requested Letter of Credit, would exceed such Issuing Bank’s issuing limit set forth on Schedule 3.1 attached hereto.

(b) Each Letter of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars and shall be either stand-by or documentary Letters of Credit issued (i) with a tenor of up to 364 days to support the cost of transportation of Product or excise, product, sales or other similar taxes related to Product, in each case in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 8.18 of this Agreement (each, a “Performance Letter of Credit”), (ii) with a tenor greater than 90 days but less than or equal to 364 days for the physical purchase of Product, in each case in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 8.18 of this Agreement (each, a “Long Term Letter of Credit”), or (iii) with a tenor less than or equal to 90 days, in each case in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 8.18 of this Agreement (each, a “Trade Letter of Credit”); and expire (A) if such Letter of Credit is a Performance Letter of Credit or Long Term Letter of Credit, no later than the earlier of the date that is (1) 364 days from the date of issuance, and (2) 180 days after the Revolving Credit Termination Date, or (B) if such Letter of Credit is a Trade Letter of Credit, no later than the earlier of the date that is (1) 90 days from the date of issuance, and (2) 90 days after the Revolving Credit Termination Date; provided, however, that in each case, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders no more than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date, the Borrowers shall provide Cash Collateral to the Issuing Banks, equal to 105% of the aggregate Face Amount of all such Letters of Credit with expiry dates that extend beyond the Revolving Credit Termination Date; provided, further, that the aggregate Face Amount of all Letters of Credit that expire (or could expire) after the Revolving Credit Termination Date shall not exceed $20,000,000 and any and all fees and expenses in connection with all such Letters of Credit for the entire term of such Letter of Credit shall be paid on or before the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

(c) Each Letter of Credit shall be subject to either ISP or the Uniform Customs and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, in each case either the laws of the State of New York.

(d) No Issuing Bank shall be at any time obligated to issue any Letter of Credit hereunder if such issuance would conflict with, or cause any Issuing Bank or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by any applicable Requirement of Law.

(e) No Issuing Bank shall amend any Letter of Credit if such Issuing Bank would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof.

(f) No Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) such Issuing Bank would have no obligation 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.

(g) 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 Administrative Agent in Section 10 of this Agreement with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by each Issuing Bank in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Section 10 of this Agreement included such Issuing Bank with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the Issuing Banks.

3.2 Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit. The Borrowers may from time to time (subject to Sections 3.1 and 6.2 of this Agreement) request that an Issuing Bank issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to such Issuing Bank at its address for notices specified herein an Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of the applicable Issuing Bank, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the applicable Issuing Bank may request. Upon receipt of any Application, the applicable Issuing Bank will process such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and, if it elects to issue such Letter of Credit, shall promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof. Upon receipt by an Issuing Bank of an Application for the issuance or increase in the face amount of any Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall provide the Administrative Agent notice of receipt of such Application (in writing, including without limitation, via electronic mail and with a copy to Borrowers), together with a certification of the maximum face amount (after giving effect to any requested increase) of the requested Letter of Credit. The applicable Issuing Bank shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Borrowers promptly following the issuance thereof upon Borrowers’ request therefor. The Issuing Bank shall not be required to consider issuing (or amending) a Letter of Credit on any Business Day unless the Application therefor shall have been received prior to 3:00 p.m. on such day. Letters of Credit shall only be issued on Business Days.

3.3 Fees, Commissions and Other Charges.

(a) In connection with any issuance of a Letter of Credit by any Issuing Bank, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Bank and the L/C Participants, a letter of credit commission in an amount equal (i) in the case of any Trade Letter of Credit, 2.75% per annum, and (ii) in the case of all other Letters of Credit, 3.00% per annum, in each case multiplied by the undrawn Face Amount of the related Letter of Credit and in each case payable during the term of such Letter of Credit on the earlier of the date that the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders makes demand for payment of such Obligation or monthly in arrears on the later of (1) the first day of each calendar month after the issuance date of such Letter of Credit (if such day is a Business Day, and if not on the next succeeding Business Day) or (2) the date of payment shown on the corresponding invoice or billing statement delivered to Borrowers by the Administrative Agent (but in no event more than 30 days after the last day of the calendar month in which such Letter of Credit was issued and the last day of each subsequent calendar month (if such day is a Business Day, and, if not, on the next succeeding Business Day)), subject to a minimum issuance fee of $750 with respect to each Letter of Credit. In the event that any Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire after the Revolving Credit Termination Date hereof, all Letter of Credit fees due with respect to such Letter of Credit shall be payable in full on or prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

(b) The Borrowers shall be obligated to pay to the applicable Issuing Bank a fee of $100 per amendment for amending the text of any Letter of Credit that shall be retained by the such Issuing Bank for its own account and, for any extension or increase in the Face Amount of any Letter of Credit as permitted pursuant to Section 3.1 of this Agreement, a letter of credit commission on the amount of the increase or extension, which shall be shared by the participants in such Letter of Credit on a pro rata basis based upon the percentage of its participation in such Letter of Credit, calculated as set forth above in Section 3.3(a) of this Agreement.

(c) In addition to the foregoing fees and commissions, the Borrowers shall pay or reimburse each Issuing Bank for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by each Issuing Bank in issuing, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, distribute to the applicable Issuing Bank and the L/C Participants all fees received by the Administrative Agent for their respective accounts pursuant to this Agreement.

3.4 L/C Participations.

(a) Each Issuing Bank irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce such Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant, (unless the Administrative Agent has received a written Notice of Declining Lender from such L/C Participant prior to 5:00 p.m., New York time, one (1) Business Day prior to the Administrative Agent’s receipt of any Application in which event the provisions of Section 2.8 of this Agreement shall be applicable), irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the Issuing Bank, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C

Participant’s own account and risk, an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Uncommitted Participation Percentage in the Issuing Bank’s obligations and rights under each Letter of Credit issued hereunder and the amount of each draft paid by such Issuing Bank thereunder. Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with each Issuing Bank that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which an Issuing Bank is not reimbursed in full by the Borrowers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to such Issuing Bank upon demand at the Issuing Bank’s address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Uncommitted Participation Percentage (or such greater amount in accordance with Section 2.8 of this Agreement after the occurrence of a Conversion to Approving Lender Funding Date) of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, which is not so reimbursed.

(b) If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to any Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 3.4(a) of this Agreement in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by such Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit is paid to such Issuing Bank within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to such Issuing Bank on demand an amount equal to the product of (1) such amount, times (2) the daily average federal funds rate, as quoted by the Issuing Bank, during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Issuing Bank, times (3) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 3.4(a) of this Agreement is not in fact made available to such Issuing Bank by such L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such Issuing Bank shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans hereunder. A certificate of any Issuing Bank submitted to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 3.4(b) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(c) Whenever, at any time after an Issuing Bank has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 3.4(a) of this Agreement, such Issuing Bank receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrowers or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by the Issuing Bank), or any payment of interest on account thereof, such Issuing Bank will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by such Issuing Bank shall be required to be returned by the Issuing Bank, such L/C Participant shall return to such Issuing Bank the portion thereof previously distributed by such Issuing Bank to it.

(d) Each L/C Participant’s obligation to make the reimbursement referred to in Section 3.4(a) of this Agreement shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such L/C Participant may have

against the Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent, any Borrower, or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default, (iii) any failure to satisfy any condition precedent to extensions of credit set forth in Section 6 of this Agreement, (iv) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Borrower, (v) any breach of this Agreement by any Borrower, any Lender, any Issuing Bank, or the Administrative Agent, or (vi) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

3.5 Reimbursement Obligations of the Borrowers.

(a) The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to reimburse each Issuing Bank on each date on which such Issuing Bank notifies Texadian of the date and amount of a draft presented under any Letter of Credit and paid by such Issuing Bank or, if later than the date of such notification, on each date that such draft is paid by such Issuing Bank for the amount of (1) such draft so paid and (2) any taxes and any reasonable fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by such Issuing Bank at its address for notices specified herein in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds.

(b) Interest shall be payable on any and all amounts remaining unpaid by the Borrowers under this Section 3.5 from the date an Issuing Bank makes payment with respect to presentment of a Letter of Credit until payment in full at the rate which would be payable on any outstanding Base Rate Loans which were then overdue in payment (including the applicable default rate of 2% per annum).

(c) Each drawing under any Letter of Credit that is not reimbursed strictly in accordance with the terms of Section 3.5(a) of this Agreement shall constitute a request by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent for a borrowing (i) prior to the Syndication Date, of a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.1 of this Agreement, and (ii) from and after the Syndication Date, a Swing Line Loan pursuant to Section 2.2 of this Agreement, in either case in the amount of such drawing. The Borrowing Date with respect to such borrowing shall be the date of such drawing. Once the Issuing Bank has been repaid by the Borrowers with the proceeds of such Daylight Overdraft Loan or Swing Line Loan, as applicable, no further penalty interest shall be due pursuant to Section 3.5(b) of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event that a Letter of Credit is issued hereunder prior to the Conversion to Approving Lenders Funding Date and a Daylight Overdraft Loan or Swing Line Loan is required to be made in respect of such Letter of Credit on or after the Conversion to Approving Lenders Funding Date or participation therein is required to be funded under Section 3.4(a) of this Agreement, each of the Declining Lenders who had originally purchased a participation in such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 3.4 of this Agreement shall be required to fund, on a pro rata basis based upon its percentage of participation in the related Letter of Credit, its portion of such Daylight Overdraft Loan or Swing Line Loan or any Revolving Credit Loan (which may be made without the request of the Borrowers) in replacement thereof or the amount due from it under Section 3.4(a) of this Agreement notwithstanding that any such Loan is being made or the drawing under such Letter of Credit occurs after the Conversion to Approving Lenders Funding Date and this Section 3.5 shall survive any Declining Lenders’ termination of its obligations under this Agreement so as to require enforcement of this obligation as against any Declining Lender.

3.6 Obligations Absolute.

(a) The Borrowers’ obligations under this Section 3 shall be joint and several and absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment that any Borrower may have or have had against the Issuing Bank, any L/C Participant, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit, or any other Person.

(b) Subject to the standards applicable to the Issuing Banks in Section 3.6(d) of this Agreement, the Borrowers also agree with each Issuing Bank that such Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for, and the Borrowers’ Reimbursement Obligations shall not be affected by, among other things, (1) the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or (2) any dispute between or among any Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or (3) any claims whatsoever of any Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee.

(c) No Issuing Bank shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions caused by such Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(d) Each Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by any Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct and in accordance with the standards of care specified in the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York, shall be binding on the Borrowers and shall not result in any liability of any Issuing Bank to the Borrowers.

3.7 Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Borrowers of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of any Issuing Bank to the Borrowers in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment appear on their face to be in conformity with such Letter of Credit.

3.8 Application. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 3, the provisions of this Section 3 shall apply.

SECTION 4. GENERAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO LOANS AND LETTERS OF CREDIT

4.1 Interest Rates and Payment Dates.

(a) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternative Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(d) Each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest as specified in Section 2.2(b) of this Agreement.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the principal of the Loans or the unreimbursed drawn amount of any Letter of Credit and any overdue interest, Letter of Credit fee or commission or other amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum that is (a) in the case of principal, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.1 plus 2.0% per annum or (b) in the case of any such unreimbursed Letter of Credit drawing, overdue interest, Letter of Credit fee or commission or other amount, the rate otherwise applicable to Base Rate Loans plus 2.0% per annum, (i) if all or a portion of (A) any principal of any Loan or any obligation to reimburse a drawing under a Letter of Credit, (B) any interest payable on any of the foregoing, (C) any Letter of Credit fee or commission or (D) any other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), from the date of such non-payment until such overdue principal, interest, Letter of Credit fee or commission or other amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment), and (ii) upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default other than a payment Event of Default resulting from an event described in clause (b)(i) of this Section 4.1(e), at the election of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, from the date of the occurrence of such Event of Default or such later date as the Administrative Agent or Required Lenders may designate.

(f) The Borrowers shall repay the principal amount of each Loan and any interest due thereon to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, on the earliest of (i) the date that the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders makes demand for payment of such Obligation, (ii) the applicable Revolving Credit Loan Maturity Date for such Revolving Credit Loan, or (iii) the Revolving Credit Termination Date, in each case together with any amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.11 of this Agreement if applicable. The Borrowers shall repay all outstanding Obligations on the Revolving Credit Termination Date, together with any amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.11 of this Agreement if applicable.

(g) Interest shall be payable on the earlier of the date that the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders makes demand for payment of such Obligation or in arrears on each Interest Payment Date.

(h) Regardless of any provision contained in any Note or in any of the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent, Issuing Banks or Lenders shall not be deemed to have contracted for or be entitled to receive, collect or apply as interest under any such Note or any Loan Document, or otherwise, any amount in excess of the maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged by applicable law, and, in the event that the Administrative Agent, Issuing Banks or Lenders receives, collects or applies as interest any such excess, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance of such Note, and, if the principal balance of such Note is paid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to the Borrowers. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable under any specific contingency exceeds the highest lawful rate, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, (i) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee, or premium, rather than as interest, (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effect thereof, and (iii) spread the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of such Note so that the interest rate is uniform throughout such term; provided, that if all Obligations under the Notes and all Loan Documents are performed in full prior to the end of the full contemplated term thereof, and if the interest received for the actual term thereof exceeds the maximum lawful rate, the Administrative Agent shall refund to the Borrowers the amount of such excess, or credit the amount of such excess against the aggregate unpaid principal balance of each of the Lenders’ Notes on a pro rata basis based upon unpaid principal balances outstanding at the time in question.

(i) For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) and disclosure thereunder, whenever any interest or any fee to be paid hereunder, in any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith is to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day or 365-day year, the yearly rate of interest to which the rate used in such calculation is equivalent is the rate so used multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by 360 or 365, as applicable. The rates of interest under any of the Loan Documents are nominal rates, and not effective rates or yields. The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under each such Loan Document.

4.2 Conversion and Continuation Options. The Borrowers may elect from time to time to Convert one Type of Loan to another Type of Loan (other than converting a Base Rate Loan or COF Rate Loan to a Eurodollar Loan), by giving the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice of such election by 11:00 a.m., New York City time two Business Days’ prior to the effective date of such election. The Borrowers may elect from time to time to Convert other Types of Loans to Eurodollar Loans by giving the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice of such election by 11:00 a.m., New York City time three Business Days’ prior to effective date of such election. Any such notice of Conversion to Eurodollar Loans shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period or Interest Periods therefor. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. All or any part of outstanding

Loans (other than Swing Line Loans or Daylight Overdraft Loans) may be Converted as provided herein, provided, however, that (i) no Loan may be Converted into a Eurodollar Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined that such a Conversion is not appropriate, and (ii) no Loan may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan after the date that is the earlier of one month or 30 days prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

4.3 Optional Prepayments. The Borrowers may at any time and from time to time upon at least two Business Days’ irrevocable notice, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, and prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the same Business Day otherwise, to the Administrative Agent, prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, specifying the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Eurodollar Loans, Base Rate Loans, COF Loans, or a combination thereof, and, if of a combination thereof, the amount allocable to each. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable the earlier of the date that the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders makes demand for payment of such amount or on the date specified therein, together with any amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.11 of this Agreement. Partial prepayments pursuant to this Section 4.3 shall be in an aggregate principal amount of no less than $1,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof (unless the amount of such prepayment in excess thereof constitutes all of the Facility Usage), plus any accrued but unpaid interest plus any amounts due under Section 4.11(c) of this Agreement.

4.4 Mandatory Prepayments.

(a) If on any date the Facility Usage exceeds the lesser of (i) the Elected Facility Amount then in effect or (ii) the Borrowing Base then in effect, the Borrowers shall immediately prepay the Loans in an amount equal to the amount of such excess, together with any amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.11 of this Agreement as a result thereof.

(b) If on any date the aggregate outstanding balance of all Loans exceeds the Loan Advance Sublimit, the Borrowers shall immediately prepay the Loans in an amount equal to the amount of such excess, together with any amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.11 of this Agreement as a result thereof.

(c) If on any date the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Daylight Overdraft Loans and all Swing Line Loans exceeds the Daylight Overdraft/Swing Line Sublimit, the Borrowers shall immediately prepay the Daylight Overdraft Loans and Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to the amount of such excess, together with any amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.11 of this Agreement as a result thereof.

(d) If on any date the aggregate Credit Extensions exceed any sublimit imposed pursuant to Section 2.4(b) of this Agreement, the Borrowers shall immediately prepay the Loans in an amount equal to the amount of such excess, together with any amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.11 of this Agreement as a result thereof.

(e) In the event that the Borrowers are required to make a prepayment pursuant to Section 4.4(a), (b), (c), or (d) of this Agreement and after paying all outstanding Loans the Facility Usage continues to exceed the lesser of (i) the Elected Facility Amount then in effect or (ii) the Borrowing Base then in effect, the Borrowers will deposit with the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount equal to the amount of such remaining excess in the manner provided for in Section 3.1(b) of this Agreement.

(f) In the event that the aggregate amount of L/C Obligations in respect of all Long Term Letters of Credit and all Performance Letters of Credit exceeds the Long Term and Performance L/C Sublimit, the Borrowers will deposit with the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount equal to the amount of such remaining excess.

4.5 Computation of Interest and Fees.

(a) All computations of fees, commissions and interest with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans, COF Loans, and Letters of Credit shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more interest being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365 - or 366-day year), and all computations of fees, commissions and interest with respect to Base Rate Loans shall be made on the basis of a 365/6-day year and actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Alternative Base Rate, or COF Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrowers, deliver to the Borrowers a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 4.1 of this Agreement.

4.6 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period:

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

(b) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required Lenders that the Eurodollar Rate or COF Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period,

the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrowers and the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (x) any Eurodollar Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as Base Rate Loans, (y) any Loans that were to have been Converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans shall be Converted to or Continued as Base Rate Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans shall be Converted, on the first day of such Interest Period, to Base Rate Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans shall be made or Continued as such, nor shall the Borrowers have the right to Convert Loans to Eurodollar Loans.

4.7 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments; Several Obligations of Lenders.

(a) Each borrowing by the Borrowers from the Lenders hereunder shall be made pro rata according to the Uncommitted Participation Percentages of the Lenders, in each case subject to Section 2.8(d) of this Agreement in the event that any Lender is a Declining Lender and Section 4.13 of this Agreement in the event that any Lender is a Defaulting Lender. Each payment (including each prepayment and any payments from the realization of Collateral securing the Obligations) by or for the account of the Borrowers in respect of any Obligations shall be allocated, in each case subject to Section 2.8(d) of this Agreement in the event that any Lender is a Declining Lender and Section 4.13 of this Agreement in the event that any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) after the execution of the Intercreditor Agreement and upon and after the occurrence of a Sharing Event, according to each Lender’s Adjusted Pro Rata Share, first according to Section 2.01 of the Intercreditor Agreement and then according to clause (ii) of this Section 4.7(a), or (ii) otherwise as follows:

(1) First, to any fees, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney costs) due and payable to the Administrative Agent solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents; and

(2) Second, thereafter to the other outstanding Obligations due and payable, according to such Lender’s Uncommitted Participation Percentage thereof, with the oldest Obligation (based on the date made or issued) being repaid first.

All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrowers hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be joint and several and shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the Administrative Agent’s office specified in Section 11.2 of this Agreement, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such

extension. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.

(b) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that all obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several in nature (and not joint or joint and several) and in the event of any failure of a Lender to meet any such obligation, no other Lender shall be responsible therefor.

(c) If and when the Intercreditor Agreement is executed, this Agreement and certain of the other Loan Documents shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Intercreditor Agreement. Each Lender hereby agrees that, upon the execution of the Intercreditor Agreement, it shall take no action to terminate its obligations under the Intercreditor Agreement and will otherwise be bound by and take no actions contrary to the Intercreditor Agreement.

4.8 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law including without limitation any Regulatory Change or in the interpretation or application thereof made after the date hereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (a) make Eurodollar Loans, Continue Eurodollar Loans as such and Convert other Types of Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith be cancelled and (b) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be Converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such Conversion of a Eurodollar Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 4.11 of this Agreement. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, nothing in this Section 4.8 shall affect the obligation of any Lender other than the affected Lender to make or maintain Loans as, or to Convert Loans in accordance with the terms hereof.

4.9 Requirements of Law.

(a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law including without limitation any Regulatory Change or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender or Issuing Bank with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

(i) shall subject any Lender or Issuing Bank to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any Note or any Eurodollar Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or Issuing Bank in respect thereof (except for Non-Excluded Taxes covered by Section 4.10 of this Agreement and changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Lender or Issuing Bank);

(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender or Issuing Bank which is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate hereunder; or

(iii) shall impose on such Lender or Issuing Bank any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or Issuing Bank, by an amount which such Lender or Issuing Bank deems to be material, of making, Converting into, Continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Loans or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrowers shall promptly pay such Lender or Issuing Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable.

(b) If any Lender or Issuing Bank shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law including without limitation any Regulatory Change made after the date hereof regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or Issuing Bank or any corporation controlling such Lender or Issuing Bank with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or Issuing Bank or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender or Issuing Bank to be material, then from time to time, the Borrowers shall promptly pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank for such reduction.

(c) If any Lender or Issuing Bank becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.9, it shall promptly notify the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 4.9 submitted by such Lender or Issuing Bank to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The agreements in this Section 4.9 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the payment of the Loans, the termination of all Letters of Credit, and all other amounts payable hereunder.

4.10 Taxes.

(a) All payments made by the Borrowers under this Agreement, pursuant to any Letter of Credit, and any Note shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, or on account of any present or future taxes, levies,

imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities (including penalties, interest and additions to tax) with respect thereto imposed by any Governmental Authority (“Taxes”), excluding taxes imposed on or measured by net income (or taxes imposed in lieu of taxes on net income) imposed on the Administrative Agent or any Lender or Issuing Bank (or Transferee), as the case may be, by the jurisdiction in which the Lender or Issuing Bank or Administrative Agent (or Transferee) is organized or maintains a lending office (all such non-excluded Taxes, “Non-Excluded Taxes”). If any Borrower is required to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any amount payable hereunder or under any Note, (A) such Borrower shall make such deductions or withholdings, (B) such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, and (C) with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes, the amount payable shall be increased by an amount (the “Additional Amount”) necessary so that the Administrative Agent or Lender or Issuing Bank (or Transferee), as the case may be, shall receive a net amount equal to the amount it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings in respect of Non-Excluded Taxes been made.

(b) In addition, each Borrower agrees to pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any current or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies (including, without limitation, mortgage recording taxes and similar fees) imposed by any Governmental Authority that arise from any payment made hereunder or under any Note, or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement, any Note, or any Letter of Credit (“Other Taxes”).

(c) The Borrowers shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless on an after-tax basis the Administrative Agent or any Lender or Issuing Bank (or Transferee) for the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes (including any Additional Amount with respect thereto) and Other Taxes imposed or asserted against the Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuing Bank (or Transferee), as the case may be whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes, as the case may be, were correct or legally asserted.

(d) Each Lender or Issuing Bank (or Transferee) that is not a United States Person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “US Person”)) for United States federal income tax purposes (a “Non-US Lender”) shall deliver or caused to be delivered to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent the following properly completed and duly executed documents:

(1) (two complete and executed (x) U.S. Internal Revenue Forms W-8BEN (or any successor form thereto) with respect to an income tax treaty providing for a zero rate of withholding tax on interest, or (y) U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI (or any successor form thereto); or

(2) two complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN (or any successor form thereto), including all appropriate attachments, documenting the status of the Lender or Issuing Bank (or Transferee) as a Non-U.S. Lender.

Such documents shall be delivered by each Lender or Issuing Bank (or Transferee) on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a Transferee that is a participation holder, on or before the date such participation holder becomes a Transferee hereunder) and on or before the date, if any, such Lender or Issuing Bank (or Transferee) changes its applicable lending office by designating a different lending office (a “New Lending Office”). In addition, each Lender or Issuing Bank (or Transferee) shall deliver or cause to be delivered such Forms and/or Certificates promptly upon or before the expiration, obsolescence or invalidity of any document previously delivered by such Lender or Issuing Bank (or Transferee). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.10(d), a Lender or an Issuing Bank (or Transferee) shall not be required to deliver any document pursuant to this Section 4.10(d) that such Lender or Issuing Bank (or Transferee) is not legally able to deliver.

(e) The Borrowers shall not be required to indemnify any Lender or Issuing Bank (or Transferee) or to pay any Additional Amounts to any Lender or Issuing Bank (or Transferee) in respect of any U.S. federal income or withholding tax pursuant to Section 4.10(a) or (c) of this Agreement to the extent that (A) the obligation to withhold any amounts with respect to U.S. federal income tax existed on the date such Lender or Issuing Bank became a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a Transferee that is a participation holder, on the date such participation holder became a Transferee hereunder) or, with respect to payments to a New Lending Office, the date such Lender or Issuing Bank (or Transferee) designated such New Lending Office, provided, however, that this clause (A) of this paragraph (e) shall not apply (1) to any Transferee or New Lending Office that becomes a Transferee or New Lending Office as a result of an assignment, participation, transfer or designation made at the request of the Borrowers or pursuant to Section 4.12(b) of this Agreement or (2) to the extent the indemnity payment or additional amounts any Lender or Issuing Bank (or Transferee), acting through a New Lending Office, would be entitled to receive (without regard to this paragraph (e)) do not exceed the indemnity payment or additional amounts that the person making the assignment, participation or transfer to such Lender or Issuing Bank (or Transferee) or making the designation of such New Lending Office, would have been entitled to receive in the absence of such assignment, participation, transfer or designation, or (B) the obligation to pay such indemnity payment or additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Lender or Issuing Bank (or Transferee) to comply with the provisions of paragraph (d) above.

(f) Nothing contained in this Section 4.10 of this Agreement shall require any Lender or Issuing Bank (or any Transferee) or the Administrative Agent to make available any of its tax returns or any other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary.

4.11 Indemnity. Each Borrower jointly and severally agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by any Borrower in making a borrowing of,

Conversion into or Continuation of Eurodollar Loans after such Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by any Borrower in making any prepayment after such Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (c) the making of a payment or prepayment of Eurodollar Loans (including without limitation upon demand by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders for payment in full of such Obligation) on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, or (d) any assignments of Credit Extensions as the result of a reallocation thereof in connection with any increase in the Maximum Availability or increase or decrease in the Elected Facility Amount pursuant to Section 2.7 of this Agreement. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, Converted or Continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, Convert or Continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, Convert or Continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank Eurodollar market. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

4.12 Lending Offices; Replacement of Lender.

(a) Loans of each Type made by any Lender shall be made and maintained at such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office for Loans of such Type.

(b) Each Lender agrees that if it makes any demand for payment under Section 4.9 or 4.10(a) of this Agreement, or if any adoption or change of the type described in Section 4.8 of this Agreement shall occur with respect to it, it will use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions and so long as such efforts would not be disadvantageous to it, as determined in its sole discretion) to designate a different lending office if the making of such a designation would reduce or obviate the need for the Borrowers to make payments under Section 4.9 or 4.10(a) of this Agreement, or would eliminate or reduce the effect of any adoption or change described in Section 4.9 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4, in the event that any Borrower shall be required to make any payment to one or more Lenders pursuant to Section 4.9 or 4.10(a) of this Agreement, or if any adoption or change of the type described in Section 4.8 of this Agreement shall occur with respect to one or more Lenders (in either case, the “Affected Lenders”), the Borrowers may, upon 15 days’ prior written notice to such Affected Lenders, require such Affected Lenders to assign all right, title and interest that they may have in all Loans, Letters of Credit and any other Obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement and the Loan Documents to another Lender (if another Lender will consent to purchase such right, title and interest) or an Assignee in each case in accordance with Section 11.6(c) hereof, if such Assignee can be found by the Borrowers, for a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount and/or Face Amount of such Obligations plus the amount of any interest and fees accrued and owing to such Affected Lender as of the date of such assignment, so long as the Administrative Agent and Affected Lender reasonably believe that such accrued amounts will be recoverable by the Assignee.

4.13 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if at any time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, the following provisions shall apply so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) If a Defaulting Lender (or a Lender who would be a Defaulting Lender but for the expiration of the relevant grace period) as a result of the exercise of a set-off shall have received a payment in respect of its Credit Extensions which results in its Credit Extensions being less than its Uncommitted Participation Percentage of all Credit Extensions then outstanding, then payments (including principal, interest and fees) to such Defaulting Lender will be suspended until such time as all amounts due and owing to the Lenders has been equalized in accordance with each of the Lenders’ respective pro rata share of the Obligations. Further, if at any time prior to the acceleration or maturity of the Credit Extensions, the Administrative Agent shall receive any payment in respect of principal of a Loan or a reimbursement of an L/C Obligation while one or more Defaulting Lenders shall be party to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall apply such payment first to the Credit Extensions for which such Defaulting Lenders shall have failed to fund its pro rata share until such time as such Credit Extensions are paid in full or each Lender (including each Defaulting Lender) is owed its Uncommitted Participation Percentage of all Credit Extensions then outstanding. After acceleration or maturity of the Credit Extensions, subject to the first sentence of this Section 4.13(a), all principal will be paid ratably as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

(b) With respect to any L/C Obligation, Swing Line Loan, participation in Swing Line Loan, Daylight Overdraft Loan or participation in Daylight Overdraft Loan that exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or thereafter:

(i) all or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligation, and a pro rata portion of the L/C Obligation, Swing Line Loan, participation in Swing Line Loan, Daylight Overdraft Loan or participation in Daylight Overdraft Loan, shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Uncommitted Participation Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Uncommitted Participation Amount) but only to the extent that (x) the sum of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ unused Uncommitted Participation Amounts is greater than zero and (y) the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 of this Agreement are satisfied at such time;

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) of this Section 4.13(b) cannot, or can only partially, be effected, then the Borrowers shall within one (1) Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (1) provide Cash Collateral for such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) as otherwise provided in this Agreement for so long as such L/C Obligations are outstanding and (2)

immediately repay each Swing Line Loan and Daylight Overdraft Loan for so long as such L/C Obligation, Swing Line Loan, participation in Swing Line Loan, Daylight Overdraft Loan or participation in Daylight Overdraft Loan are outstanding;

(iii) if the Borrowers provide Cash Collateral for any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 4.13 then the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.3(a) of this Agreement with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations during the period such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligation is secured by Cash Collateral;

(iv) if the L/C Obligation, Swing Line Loan, participation in Swing Line Loan, Daylight Overdraft Loan or participation in Daylight Overdraft Loan of the Non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to this Section 4.13(b)(iv), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.6(b) of this Agreement and Section 3.3(a) of this Agreement shall be adjusted in accordance with such Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Uncommitted Participation Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Uncommitted Participation Amount); and

(v) if any Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligation, Swing Line Loan, participation in Swing Line Loan, Daylight Overdraft Loan or participation in Daylight Overdraft Loan is neither secured by Cash Collateral nor reallocated pursuant to this Section 4.13(b), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Banks, the Swing Line Lender, the Daylight Overdraft Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all commission fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Uncommitted Participation Amount that was utilized by such L/C Obligation, Swing Line Loan, participation in Swing Line Loan, Daylight Overdraft Loan or participation in Daylight Overdraft Loan) and letter of credit fees payable under Section 3.3(a) of this Agreement with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Obligations shall be payable to the Issuing Banks and the Swing Line Lender, the Daylight Overdraft Bank, pro rata, until such L/C Obligation, Swing Line Loan, participation in Swing Line Loan, Daylight Overdraft Loan or participation in Daylight Overdraft Loan is secured by Cash Collateral, reallocated and/or repaid in full.

(c) So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) no Issuing Banks shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Uncommitted Participation Amounts of the Non-Defaulting Lenders and/or Cash Collateral will be provided by the Borrowers in accordance with Section 4.13(b), and participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 3.4 (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein), (ii) the Swing Line Lender shall not be required to consider advancing any Swing Line Loan, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be

100% covered by the Uncommitted Participation Amounts of the Non-Defaulting Lenders and (iii) the Daylight Overdraft Bank shall not be required to consider advancing any Daylight Overdraft Loan, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Uncommitted Participation Amounts of the Non-Defaulting Lenders.

(d) In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers, each Issuing Bank, the Swing Line Lender and the Daylight Overdraft Bank each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the L/C Obligation, Swing Line Loan, participation in Swing Line Loan, Daylight Overdraft Loan or participation in Daylight Overdraft Loan of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Uncommitted Participation Amount and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans, Uncommitted Participation Amounts and/or Obligations of the other Lenders as the Administrative shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Uncommitted Participation Percentage.

(e) At any time during a Default Period, the Borrowers may, upon three (3) Business Days prior notice to the applicable Defaulting Lender (so long as such Default Period remains in effect at the end of such notice period), require such Defaulting Lender to assign all right, title and interest that it may have in all Loans, Letters of Credit and any other Obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement and the Loan Documents to another Lender (if another Lender will consent to purchase such right, title and interest) or an Assignee in each case in accordance with Section 11.6(c) of this Agreement, if such Assignee can be found by the Borrowers, for a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount and/or Face Amount of such Obligations plus the amount of any interest and fees accrued and owing to such Defaulting Lender as of the date of such assignment, so long as the Administrative Agent reasonably believes that such accrued amounts will be recoverable by the Assignee.

(f) At all times during a Default Period at any time from and after the execution of the Intercreditor Agreement and in accordance the Intercreditor Agreement, the applicable Defaulting Lender shall not be considered a Swap Bank with respect to any Swap Contracts or Commodities Contracts entered into after it becomes a Defaulting Lender. Accordingly, if a Swap Bank should enter into a Swap Contract or Commodities Contract with any Borrower while it is a Defaulting Lender, such Borrower’s obligations to such Swap Bank under such Swap Contract or Commodities Contract shall not be secured by the Collateral securing the Obligations, and such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to any sharing of amounts pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement with respect to such Swap Contracts and Commodities Contracts concluded after it has become a Defaulting Lender.

SECTION 5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender and Issuing Bank, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. The term “Administrative Agent” as used in this Agreement shall also be deemed to refer to such Person in its role as Collateral Agent and such Person shall have the benefits of all protections set forth in this Agreement if and when acting in such capacity under any Loan Document.

10.2 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.

10.3 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except for its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders or Issuing Banks for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Borrower or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. Except for obligations and inspections expressly required to be provided to the Lenders or Issuing Banks by the Administrative Agent hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender or Issuing Banks to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Borrower.

10.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, electronic mail message, portable document format (.PDF) file, statement, order or other document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent.

10.5 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrowers referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders; provided, however, that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

Each Lender and Issuing Bank represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of any Borrower and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and Issuing Bank also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of any Borrower. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Borrower that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

The Lenders severally agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers and without limiting the joint and several obligation of the Borrowers to do so), ratably according to their respective Uncommitted Participation Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought or, to the extent a Lender has become a Declining Lender, immediately before becoming a Declining Lender, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Loans or termination of any Letter of Credit) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the

Uncommitted Participation Amounts, 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 the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided, however, 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 resulting solely from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section 10.7 shall survive the payment of the Loans, the termination of all Letters of Credit and payment of all other amounts payable hereunder.

10.8 Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, provide Swap Contracts or Commodities Contracts, and generally engage in any kind of business with any Borrower as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. With respect to the Loans made by it and the Letters of Credit issued by it in its capacity as a Lender or Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender, its right and powers as an Issuing Bank shall not be in any way prejudiced, and may exercise all such rights and powers as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.

10.9 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 10 days’ notice to the Lenders. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor Administrative Agent for the Lenders, which successor Administrative Agent must be approved by the Borrowers, whereupon such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor Administrative Agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 10 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

The Borrowers agree, on a joint and several basis, (a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including, the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel to the Administrative Agent, (b) to pay or reimburse each Lender, each Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent for all its costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel to each Lender, each Issuing Bank, and the Administrative Agent, (c) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender, each Swap Bank, each Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent, and each of their respective officers, employees, directors, partners, attorneys, and agents (together, the “Lender Parties”) harmless from, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, stamp, excise and other taxes, if any, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation or administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, and (d) to pay, indemnify, and hold each of the Lender Parties harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including, without limitation, any of the foregoing relating to the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law applicable to the operations of any Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of the Properties (all the foregoing in this clause (d), collectively, the “indemnified liabilities”), provided, that no Borrower shall have any obligation hereunder to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, or any Issuing Bank with respect to indemnified liabilities arising from (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or any such Lender or any Issuing Bank as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or (ii) legal proceedings commenced against the Administrative Agent or any such Lender or any such Issuing Bank by any security holder or creditor thereof arising out of and based upon rights afforded any such security holder or creditor solely in its capacity as such. The agreements in this Section 11.5 shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder and the termination of all Letters of Credit.

11.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks, the Administrative Agent and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender.

104

(b) Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its commercial banking business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks or other entities (“Participants”), other than to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, participating interests in any Loan or L/C Obligations owing to such Lender, any Uncommitted Participation Amount or L/C Obligations of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Loan or L/C Obligations for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due or unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement, provided, however, that, in purchasing such participating interest, such Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to share with the Lenders the proceeds thereof as provided in Section 11.7(a) of this Agreement as fully as if it were a Lender hereunder. The Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.9, 4.10, and 4.11 of this Agreement with respect to its participation in the Uncommitted Participation Amounts and the Loans or L/C Obligations outstanding from time to time as if it was a Lender; provided, however, that, in the case of Section 4.10 of this Agreement, such Participant shall have complied with the requirements of said Section and provided further, however, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to any such Section than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred.

(c) Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its commercial banking business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time and from time to time assign, with the consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks, to any Lender (or any affiliate thereof) or, with the consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks, to an additional bank or financial institution (an “Assignee”), other than to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance, substantially in the form of Exhibit M attached hereto with appropriate completions (an “Assignment and Acceptance”), executed by such Assignee, such assigning Lender (and, in the case of an Assignee that is not then a Lender or an Affiliate thereof, by the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower) and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register, provided,

105

however, that, in the case of any such assignment to an additional bank or financial institution, the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans, the aggregate amount of the L/C Obligations and the aggregate amount of the unused portion of Uncommitted Participation Amount being assigned and, if such assignment is of less than all of the rights and obligations of the assigning Lender, the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the Loans, the aggregate amount of the L/C Obligations and the aggregate amount of the unused portion of the Uncommitted Participation Amount remaining with the assigning Lender are each not less than $5,000,000. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (i) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with Uncommitted Participation Amounts as set forth therein, and (ii) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such assigning Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

(d) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Borrower, shall maintain at the address of the Administrative Agent referred to in Section 11.2 of this Agreement a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Uncommitted Participation Amount of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, Issuing Banks, and the Lenders may (and, in the case of any Loan or other obligation hereunder not evidenced by a Note, shall) treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Loan or other obligation hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary; provided, however, that failure of the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register, or any error, therein, shall not in any manner effect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations in accordance with the term of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Any assignment of any Loan or other obligation hereunder not evidenced by a Note shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers or any Bank at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee (and, in the case of an Assignee that is not then a Lender or an affiliate thereof, by the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers) together with payment to the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500, the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) on the effective date determined pursuant thereto record the information contained therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Lenders and the Borrowers.

106

(f) The Borrowers authorize each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Assignee (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning any Borrower and its Affiliates which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of any Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or that has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of any Borrower in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of the Borrowers and its Affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Agreement, provided, however, that each Transferee shall agree to be bound by the confidentiality provisions set forth in Section 11.15 hereof.

(g) For avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this Section 11.6 concerning assignments of Loans and Notes relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment by a Lender of any Loan or Note to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law.

11.7 Adjustments; Set-off.

(a) If any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Loans or Reimbursement Obligations, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 9(g) of this Agreement, or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Loans or Reimbursement Obligations, or interest thereon, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Loan or Reimbursement Obligation, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Each Borrower agrees that each Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lender’s Loan or Reimbursement Obligation may exercise all rights of payment (including, without limitation, rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Lender were the direct holder of such portion.

(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrowers, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by any Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to

107

or for the credit or the account of the Borrowers. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender, provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

11.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile or electronic mail transmission of signature pages hereto), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent.

11.9 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

11.10 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the agreement of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent, Issuing Banks or any Lender relative to subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

11.11 GOVERNING LAW. ALL CLAIMS, CONTROVERSIES, AND DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT REFERENCE TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW), UNLESS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED OTHERWISE IN ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

11.12 Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers . Each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof;

(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and

11.15 Confidentiality. The Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees to keep confidential all non-public information that is designated by the Borrowers in writing as confidential and provided to it by the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement provided, however, that (A) nothing herein shall prevent the Administrative Agent or any Lender from disclosing any such information (i) to the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their respective Affiliates, (ii) to any Transferee or perspective Transferee or any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to any Borrower and its obligations (in each case, subject to the proviso in Section 11.6(f)), (iii) to its employees, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors which receive such information, (iv) upon the request or demand of any examiner or other Governmental Authority or self-regulatory organization having jurisdiction over such Lender, (v) in response to any order

11.16 Patriot Act. Each Lender that is subject to the Patriot Act and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Parent, the Borrowers, and their Subsidiaries, which information includes the name and address of the Parent, the Borrowers, and their Subsidiaries and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Parent, the Borrowers or such Subsidiaries in accordance with the Patriot Act.

11.17 Appointment of Agent for Borrowers. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Texadian as the borrowing agent and attorney-in-fact for itself with power and authority to act on behalf of such Borrower in any respect pursuant to any Loan Document or otherwise in connection therewith, which appointment shall remain in full force and effect unless and until the Obligations have been satisfied in full and the Loan Documents have been terminated. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Texadian (i) to provide the Administrative Agent, any Lender, or any Issuing Bank with all notices with respect to Loans and Letters of Credit obtained for the benefit of any Borrower and all other notices and instructions under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (ii) to take such action as Texadian deems appropriate on its behalf in connection with Loans and Letters of Credit and to exercise such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto to carry out the purposes of this Agreement. It is acknowledged and agreed that the administration of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents on behalf of the Borrowers in a combined fashion, as more fully set forth herein, is done solely as an accommodation to the Borrowers in order to utilize the collective borrowing powers of the Borrowers in the most efficient and economical manner and at their request, and that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender nor any Issuing Bank shall incur any liability to any Borrower as a result hereof or otherwise for relying on notice or direction from Texadian on behalf of any one or more of the Borrowers. Each Borrower represents that (i) for purposes of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Loan Documents all Borrowers are operated as part of one consolidated business entity and are directly dependent upon each other for and in connection with their respective business activities financial resources, each Borrower will derive a direct economic and financial benefit from the Obligations incurred under this Agreement, the incurrence of such Obligations is in the best interests of each Borrower, and the successful operation of each Borrower is dependent on the continued successful performance of the integrated group. To induce the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, or the Issuing Banks to do so, and in consideration thereof, each Borrower hereby jointly and severally agrees to indemnify each of the Administrative Agent, any Lender and any Issuing Bank and hold each of them harmless against any and all liability, expense, loss or claim

110

of damage or injury, made against any such party by any Borrower or by any third party arising from or incurred by reason of (a) the administration of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents on behalf of the Borrowers as provided in this Section 11.17, (b) any such party relying on any notice or instructions of Texadian, or (c) any other action taken by any such party hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.

11.18 Agent for Service of Process. Texadian Canada hereby irrevocably designates, appoints and empowers Texadian, with offices on the date hereof as listed in Section 11.2 hereof, as its designee, appointee and agent to receive, accept and acknowledge for and on its behalf and in respect of its property, service of any and all legal process, summons, notices and documents which may be served in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement. If for any reason such designee, appointee and agent shall cease to be available to act as such, Texadian Canada agrees to designate a new designee, appointee and agent in the State of New York on the terms and for the purposes of this provision satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. Texadian Canada further irrevocably consents to the service of process out of any of the courts mentioned in Section 11.12 hereof in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to Texadian at its notice address provided in Section 11.2, such service to become effective 30 days after such mailing. Nothing herein shall affect the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against Texadian Canada in any other jurisdiction.

11.19 Judgment Currency.

(a) If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court in any jurisdiction with respect to this Agreement, it becomes necessary to convert into the currency of such jurisdiction (herein called the “Judgment Currency”) any amount due hereunder in any currency other than the Judgment Currency, then conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day before the day on which judgment is given. For this purpose, “rate of exchange” means the rate at which the Administrative Agent would be prepared on the relevant date, to sell the currency of the amount due hereunder in New York, New York against the Judgment Currency. In the event that there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Business Day before the day on which the judgment is given and the date of payment of the amount due, the Borrowers will, on the date of payment, pay such additional amounts (if any) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid on such date is the amount in the Judgment Currency which, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, is the amount then due under this Agreement in Dollars. Any additional amount due under this Section 11.19 will be due as separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other sums due or in respect of this Agreement.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in herein, if in connection with the determination by a Borrower or any other Person, as to whether such Person is in compliance with any provision hereof, it is required that financial information or other computations otherwise denominated in any currency other than Dollars needs to be converted to Dollars, then such conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange

111

prevailing on the applicable “as of”, “as at” or “effective” date of such financial information or other computation. For this purpose, unless otherwise specified herein, “rate of exchange” means the rate at which the Administrative Agent would be prepared to sell Dollars in exchange for the applicable amount of such other currency.

11.20 No Immunity; Waiver of Immunity. In any proceedings taken in the jurisdiction of organization of Texadian Canada in connection with this Agreement, Texadian Canada will not be entitled to claim for itself or any of its assets immunity from suit, execution, attachment or other legal process. Texadian Canada hereby irrevocably waives any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution or otherwise) under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation. This waiver of immunities is irrevocably binding on Texadian Canada under the laws of the Province of Alberta, Canada.

11.21 Reinstatement; Waiver of Subrogation; Joint and Several Obligations. The obligations of each Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower in respect of the Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise. Each Borrower hereby agrees that until the payment and satisfaction in full of all Obligations it shall not exercise any right or remedy, whether by subrogation, reinstatement, reimbursement, or otherwise, against any other Borrower, any other guarantor of any of the Obligations or any other Person liable with respect to the Obligations or to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Bank, or any Swap Bank under any Loan Document, Swap Contract, Commodities Contract, or any security for any of the Obligations, and hereby subordinates such rights to the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks, and the Swap Banks to payment and under any Loan Document, Swap Contract, Commodities Contract, or any security for any of the Obligations. Each Borrower hereby further waives any rights or defenses that may arise if such Borrower is deemed a surety of the Obligations of any other Borrower. Each Borrower hereby jointly and severally guarantees to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and the Issuing Banks, and their respective successors and assigns the prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of all Obligations (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement); provided, however, that the obligations of each Borrower under this guarantee shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of any applicable state or federal law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the obligations of each Borrower under this Agreement and the Loan Documents are joint and several and absolute and unconditional irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Obligations of any Borrower, or any substitution, release or exchange of any guarantee of or security for any of the Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent hereof that the obligations of each Borrower hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of any Borrower hereunder which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above:

(i) at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Borrower, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;

112

(ii) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be done or omitted;

(iii) the maturity of any of the Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or any right under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be waived or any guarantee of any of the Obligations or any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with; or

(iv) any Lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any issuing Bank, or any Swap Bank, as security for any of the Obligations shall fail to be perfected.

11.22 Discretionary Facility. EACH BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS AGREEMENT PROVIDES FOR A CREDIT FACILITY THAT IS COMPLETELY DISCRETIONARY ON THE PART OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS AND THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR THE LENDERS HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO DUTY OR OBLIGATION TO ADVANCE ANY LOAN OR TO ISSUE ANY LETTER OF CREDIT. EACH BORROWER UNDERSTANDS THAT WITHOUT REASON, CAUSE OR PRIOR NOTICE, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS MAY AND AT THE REQUEST OF THE REQUIRED LENDERS SHALL CEASE ADVANCING LOANS AND ISSUING LETTERS OF CREDIT AND MAKE DEMAND FOR PAYMENT OF ALL OBLIGATIONS (INCLUDING CASH COLLATERALIZATION OF LETTERS OF CREDIT IN ACCORDANCE HEREWITH) OF EACH BORROWER TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR THE LENDERS AT ANY TIME. EACH BORROWER REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS THAT SUCH BORROWER IS AWARE OF THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH CONDUCTING BUSINESS UTILIZING AN UNCOMMITTED FACILITY.
