FINANCING AGREEMENT

THIS FINANCING AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of February 28, 2012 by and among TITANIUM METALS CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, as Borrower (the “Borrower”), the other Credit Parties party hereto, each of the Lenders from time to time party hereto, and U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association, as LC Issuer and as Agent, is as follows:

1. DEFINITIONS.

1.1. Defined Terms. In addition to the other terms defined in this Agreement, whenever the following capitalized terms (whether or not underscored) are used, they shall be defined as follows:

“Account Debtor” means any Person obligated on an Account.

“Accounts” means as at any date of determination, all “accounts” (as such term is defined in the UCC) of the Credit Parties, including, without limitation, the unpaid portion of the obligation of a customer of a Credit Party in respect of Inventory purchased by and shipped to such customer and/or the rendition of services by a Credit Party, as stated on the respective invoice of a Credit Party, net of any credits, rebates or offsets owed to such customer.

“Acquisition” means any transaction or series of related transactions for the purpose of or resulting, directly or indirectly, in (a) the acquisition of all or substantially all of the assets of a Person, or of any business or division of a Person, (b) the acquisition of in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the Capital Stock of any Person or otherwise causing any Person to become a Subsidiary of the Borrower, or (c) a merger or consolidation or any other combination with another Person.

“Adjusted LIBOR” means, with respect to any LIBOR Borrowing for any Interest Period or for any Base Rate Borrowing, an interest rate per annum equal to (a) the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period multiplied by (b) the Statutory Reserve Rate.

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

“Affiliate” means, as to any Person (the “Subject Person”), any other Person which, directly or indirectly, is in control of, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Subject Person. For purposes of this definition, “control” of a Person means the power, direct or indirect, (i) to vote 10% or more of the securities (or other ownership interests) having voting power for the election of directors (or managers in the case of a limited liability company) of the Person or (ii) otherwise to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of the Person, whether by contract or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Agent, any LC Issuer nor any Lender shall be deemed an “Affiliate” of any Credit Party or of any Subsidiary of any Credit Party solely by reason of the provisions of the Loan Documents.

“Agent” means U.S. Bank in its capacity as administrative agent for the Lenders pursuant to Section 9, and not in its individual capacity as a Lender, and any successor Agent appointed pursuant to Section 9.

“Aggregate Credit Exposure” means, at any time, the aggregate Credit Exposure of all the Lenders.

“Alternate Base Rate” means, for any day, a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus ¹/2 of 1% and (c) the Adjusted LIBOR for a one month Interest Period on such day (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) plus 1%, provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Adjusted LIBOR for any day shall be based on the rate appearing on the Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page (or on any successor or substitute page) at approximately 11:00 a.m. London time on such day (without any rounding). Any change in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Adjusted LIBOR shall be effective from and including the effective date of such change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Adjusted LIBOR, respectively.

“Anti-Terrorism Laws” means any law, rule or regulation relating to terrorism or money laundering, including Executive Order No. 13224, the USA Patriot Act, the laws, rules and regulations compromising or implementing the Bank Secrecy Act and the laws, rules and regulations administered by the United States Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Asset Control (as any of the foregoing may be amended).

“Applicable Percentage” means, with respect to any Lender, (a) with respect to Revolving Loans, LC Exposure, Swingline Loans or Overadvances, a percentage equal to a fraction the numerator of which is such Lender’s Revolving Commitment and the denominator of which is the aggregate Revolving Commitment of all Revolving Lenders (if the Revolving Commitments have terminated or expired, the Applicable Percentages shall be determined based upon such Lender’s share of the aggregate Revolving Exposures at that time); provided that in the case of Section 2.20 when a Defaulting Lender shall exist, any such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment shall be disregarded in the calculation and (b) with respect to Protective Advances or with respect to the Aggregate Credit Exposure, a percentage based upon its share of the Aggregate Credit Exposure and the unused Commitments; provided that in the case of Section 2.20 when a Defaulting Lender shall exist, any such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment shall be disregarded in the calculation.

“Applicable Spread” means, for any day, with respect to any Base Rate Loan (including any Swingline Loan) or LIBOR Loan, as the case may be, the applicable rate per annum set forth below under the caption “Base Rate Spread” or “LIBOR Spread”, as the case may be, based upon average daily Availability for Borrower’s most recent calendar quarter:

III	£33 1/3% of the total Revolving Commitments		1.25	%		2.25	%

In the event the Borrower or Agent determines in good faith that the calculation of Availability on which the applicable interest rate for any particular period was determined is inaccurate, and as a consequence thereof, the

applicable rate was higher than it would have been, (i) the Borrower shall promptly deliver to Agent a correct Borrowing Base Certificate for such period, (ii) Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the amount of interest that would have been due in respect of any outstanding Obligations during such period had the applicable rate been calculated based on the correct Availability calculation, and (iii) at Agent’s option, either (a) the Lenders shall promptly pay to Agent their respective Applicable Percentages of the difference between the amount that would have been due and the amount actually paid in respect of such period, and the Agent shall promptly pay such amounts to the Borrower or (b) the difference between the amount that would have been due and the amount actually paid in respect of such period shall be credited against interest owing by Borrower on the next Interest Payment Date.

Subject to the limitations set forth below, Agent is authorized by Borrower and the Lenders, from time to time in Agent’s sole discretion (but shall have absolutely no obligation to), to make Loans to Borrower, on behalf of all Lenders, which Agent, in its Permitted Discretion, deems necessary or desirable (i) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (ii) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans and other Obligations, or (iii) to pay any other amount chargeable to or required to be paid by Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including payments of reimbursable expenses (including costs, fees, and expenses as described in Section 10.3) and other sums payable under the Loan Documents (any of such Loans are herein referred to as “Protective Advances”); provided that, the aggregate amount of Protective Advances outstanding at any time shall not at any time exceed 10% of the total Revolving Commitments; provided further that, the aggregate amount of outstanding Protective Advances plus the aggregate Revolving Exposure shall not exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments. Protective Advances may be made even if the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 have not been satisfied. The Protective Advances shall be secured by the Liens in favor of Agent in and to the Collateral and shall constitute Obligations hereunder. All Protective Advances shall be Base Rate Borrowings. At any time that there is sufficient Availability and the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 have been satisfied, Agent may request Revolving Lenders to make a Revolving Loan to repay a Protective Advance. At any other time Agent may require the Lenders to fund their risk participations described in Section 2.4.2.

2.4.2. Upon the making of a Protective Advance by Agent (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default), each Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from Agent without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Protective Advance in proportion to its Applicable Percentage. From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender is required to fund its participation in any Protective Advance purchased hereunder, Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by Agent in respect of such Protective Advance.

2.5. Swingline Loans and Overadvances.

2.5.1. Agent, the Swingline Lender and Revolving Lenders agree that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, promptly after Borrower requests a Base Rate Borrowing, the Swingline Lender may elect to have the terms of this Section 2.5.1 apply to such Notice of Borrowing by advancing, on behalf of Revolving Lenders and in the amount requested, same day funds to Borrower on the applicable Borrowing date to the Funding Account (each such Loan made solely by the

-35-

Swingline Lender pursuant to this Section 2.5.1 is referred to in this Agreement as a “Swingline Loan”), with settlement among them as to the Swingline Loans to take place on a periodic basis as set forth below. Each Swingline Loan shall be subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to other Base Rate Loans funded by Revolving Lenders, except that all payments thereon shall be payable to the Swingline Lender solely for its own account. The aggregate amount of Swingline Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed 7.5% of the total Revolving Commitments. The Swingline Lender shall not make any Swingline Loan if the requested Swingline Loan exceeds Availability (before giving effect to such Swingline Loan). All Swingline Loans shall be Base Rate Borrowings. Upon the making of a Swingline Loan (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default and regardless of whether a Settlement has been requested with respect to such Swingline Loan), each Revolving Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the Swingline Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Swingline Loan in proportion to its Applicable Percentage of the Revolving Commitment. The Swingline Lender may, at any time, require Revolving Lenders to fund their participations in any Swingline Loan purchased hereunder. From and after the date, if any, on which any Revolving Lender is required to fund its participation in any Swingline Loan, Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by Agent in respect of such Loan.

Agent, on behalf of the Swingline Lender, shall request settlement (a “Settlement”) with Revolving Lenders on at least a weekly basis on any date that Agent elects, by notifying Revolving Lenders of such requested Settlement by facsimile, telephone, or e-mail no later than 10:00 a.m., Chicago time on the date of such requested Settlement (the “Settlement Date”). Each Revolving Lender (other than the Swingline Lender) shall transfer the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the outstanding principal amount of the Swingline Loans as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding such Settlement Date to such account of Agent as Agent may designate, not later than 1:00 p.m., Chicago time, on such Settlement Date. Settlements may occur during the existence of a Default and whether or not the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 have then been satisfied. Such amounts transferred to Agent shall be applied against the Swingline Loans and, together with Swingline Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loans, shall constitute Revolving Loans of such Revolving Lenders, respectively. If any such amount is not transferred to Agent by any Revolving Lender on such Settlement Date, the Swingline Lender, shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon as specified in Section 2.7.

2.5.2. Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, at the request of Borrower, Agent may in its sole discretion (but with absolutely no obligation), make Revolving Loans to Borrower, on behalf of the Revolving Lenders, in amounts that exceed Availability (any such excess Revolving Loans are herein referred to collectively as “Overadvances”); provided that, no Overadvance shall result in a Default due to Borrower’s failure to comply with Section 2.1 for so long as such Overadvance remains outstanding in

-36-

accordance with the terms of this Section 2.5.2, but solely with respect to the amount of such Overadvance. In addition, Overadvances may be made even if the condition precedent Section 3.2(c) has not been satisfied. All Overadvances shall constitute Base Rate Borrowings. The authority of Agent to make Overadvances is limited to an aggregate amount not to exceed (together with the outstanding principal amount of all outstanding Protective Advance) 10% of the total Revolving Commitments at any time, no Overadvance may remain outstanding for more than thirty days and no Overadvance shall cause any Revolving Lender’s Revolving Exposure to exceed its Revolving Commitment; provided that, the Required Lenders may at any time revoke Agent’s authorization to make Overadvances. Any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon Agent’s receipt thereof. Upon the making of an Overadvance (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default), each Revolving Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from Agent, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Overadvance in proportion to its Applicable Percentage of the Revolving Commitment. Agent may, at any time, require Revolving Lenders to fund their participations in any Overadvance purchased hereunder. From and after the date, if any, on which any Revolving Lender is required to fund its participation in any Overadvance, Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by Agent in respect of such Loan.

2.6. Letters of Credit.

2.6.1. General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for its own account or for the account of any of the Subsidiary Guarantors, in a form reasonably acceptable to Agent and the applicable LC Issuer, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by Borrower to, or entered into by Borrower with, any LC Issuer relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

2.6.2. Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), Borrower shall hand deliver or facsimile (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable LC Issuer) to the applicable LC Issuer and Agent (prior to 10:00 a.m., Chicago time, at least two Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with Section 2.6.3), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the applicable LC Issuer, Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on such

-37-

LC Issuer’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed $25,000,000 and (ii) the total Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the lesser of (a) the total Revolving Commitments and (b) the Borrowing Base.

2.6.3. Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date.

2.6.4. Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable LC Issuer or Revolving Lenders, such LC Issuer hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from such LC Issuer, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to Agent, for the account of the applicable LC Issuer, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such LC Issuer and not reimbursed by Borrower on the date due as provided in Section 2.6.5, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to Borrower for any reason. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

2.6.5. Reimbursement. If any LC Issuer shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, Chicago time, on (i) the Business Day that Borrower receives notice of such LC Disbursement, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., Chicago time, on the day of receipt, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.3 or 2.5 that such payment be financed with a Base Rate Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Base Rate Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan. If Borrower fails to make such payment when due, Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly

-38-

following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Lender shall pay to Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.7 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.7 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of Revolving Lenders), and Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable LC Issuer the amounts so received by it from Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by Agent of any payment from Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable LC Issuer or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such LC Issuer, then to such Lenders and such LC Issuer as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse any LC Issuer for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of Base Rate Revolving Loans or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

2.6.6. Obligations Absolute. Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in Section 2.6.5 shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by any LC Issuer under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither Agent, Revolving Lenders nor any LC Issuer, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of any LC Issuer; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse such LC Issuer from liability to Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by Borrower that are caused by such LC Issuer’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of any LC Issuer (as determined by a final, non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction), such LC Issuer shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, any

-39-

LC Issuer may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

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

2.6.8. Interim Interest. If any LC Issuer shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to Base Rate Revolving Loans; provided that, if Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph 2.6.5 of this Section, then Section 2.13.4 shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable LC Issuer, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph 2.6.5 of this Section to reimburse such LC Issuer shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

2.6.9. Replacement of an LC Issuer. Any LC Issuer may be replaced at any time by written agreement among Borrower, Agent, the replaced LC Issuer and the successor LC Issuer. Agent shall notify Revolving Lenders of any such replacement of an LC Issuer. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced LC Issuer pursuant to Section 2.12.2. From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor LC Issuer shall have all the rights and obligations of an LC Issuer under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “LC Issuer” shall be deemed to include such successor or to include any previous LC Issuer or such successor and all previous LC Issuers, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an LC Issuer hereunder, the replaced LC Issuer shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an LC Issuer under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

2.6.10. Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that Borrower receives notice from Agent or the Required Lenders demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, Borrower shall deposit in an account with Agent, in the name of Agent and for the benefit of Revolving Lenders (the “LC Collateral Account”), an amount in cash equal to 103% of the LC Exposure

-40-

as of such date plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in clause (f) or (g) of Section 8.1. Such deposit shall be held by Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations. Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over the LC Collateral Account and Borrower hereby grants Agent a security interest in the LC Collateral Account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of Agent and at Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such LC Collateral Account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by Agent to reimburse the LC Issuers for LC Disbursements for which they have not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Required Lenders), be applied to satisfy other Secured Obligations. If Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to Borrower within three Business Days after all such Events of Default have been cured or waived.

2.6.11. Treatment of Existing Letters of Credit. On the Closing Date, (i) each Existing Letter of Credit, to the extent outstanding, shall automatically and without further action by the parties thereto be deemed converted into a Letter of Credit under this Agreement, pursuant to this Section 2.6 and subject to the provisions hereof as if each such Existing Letter of Credit had been issued on the Closing Date, (ii) each Existing Letter of Credit shall be included in the calculation of LC Exposure, and (iii) all liabilities of the Borrower and the other Credit Parties with respect to such Existing Letters of Credit shall constitute Obligations.

2.7. Funding of Borrowings.

2.7.1. Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 2:00 p.m., Chicago time, to the account of Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage; provided that, Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.5. Agent will make such Loans available to Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to the Funding Account; provided that Base Rate Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of (i) an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.6.5 shall be remitted by Agent to the applicable LC Issuer and (ii) a Protective Advance or Overadvance shall be retained by Agent.

-41-

2.7.2. Unless Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.7.1 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to Agent, then the applicable Lender and Borrower severally agree to pay to Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

2.8. Interest Elections.

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

2.8.2. To make an election pursuant to this Section, Borrower shall notify Agent of such election in writing in a form approved by Agent and signed by Borrower and delivered by hand, facsimile or (subject to Section 10.1.2) electronic communication by the time that a Notice of Borrowing would be required under Section 2.3 if Borrower were requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable.

2.8.3. Each Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.2:

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

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

-42-

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

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

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

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

2.9. Termination of Commitments; Increase in Revolving Commitments.

2.9.1. Unless previously terminated, all Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.

2.9.2. Borrower may at any time terminate the Commitments upon (i) the payment in full of all outstanding Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon and on any Letters of Credit, (ii) the cancellation and return of all outstanding Letters of Credit (or alternatively, with respect to each such Letter of Credit, the furnishing to Agent of a cash deposit (or at the discretion of Agent a back up standby letter of credit satisfactory to Agent) equal to 103% of the LC Exposure as of such date), (iii) the payment in full of the accrued and unpaid fees, and (iv) the payment in full of all reimbursable expenses and other Obligations together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

2.9.3. Borrower may from time to time reduce the Revolving Commitments; provided, that (i) each reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $5,000,000 and not less than $10,000,000, (ii) the Borrower may not reduce the Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to any such reduction, the total Revolving Commitments would be less than $100,000,000 and (iii) the Borrower may not reduce the Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.11.1, the sum of the Revolving Exposures would exceed the lesser of the total Revolving Commitments and the Borrowing Base.

-43-

2.9.4. Borrower shall notify Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under Section 2.9.2 or Section 2.9.3 at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by Borrower (by notice to Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments.

2.9.5. Borrower shall have the right to increase the Revolving Commitment by obtaining additional Revolving Commitments, either from one or more of the Lenders or another lending institution subject to Section 2.9.6; provided that (i) any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $25,000,000 and the aggregate amount of such increases shall not exceed $75,000,000, (ii) Agent and Borrower has each approved the identity of any such new Lender, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, (iii) any such new Lender assumes all of the rights and obligations of a “Lender” hereunder, and (iv) the procedure described in Section 2.9.7 has been satisfied.

2.9.6. Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of any such proposed increase and of the proposed terms and conditions thereof. Each Lender may, in its sole discretion, commit to participate in such increase by forwarding its commitment to Agent therefor in form and substance (and within a reasonable time frame) satisfactory to Agent. If Agent receives commitments from existing Lenders in excess of the proposed increase, Agent shall allocate such increase among those Lenders from whom it has received commitments on a pro rata basis (based upon the amount of such increase committed to by each Lender). If Agent does not receive enough commitments from existing Lenders for such proposed increase, it may allocate any excess to one or more new Lenders.

2.9.7. Any amendment hereto for such an increase or addition shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent and shall only require the written signatures of Agent, Credit Parties and the Lender(s) being added or increasing their Commitment so long as such increase does not cause the aggregate Revolving Commitments to exceed $275,000,000. As a condition precedent to such an increase, Borrower shall deliver to Agent a certificate of each Credit Party (in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by an authorized officer of such Credit Party (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Credit Party approving or consenting to such increase, and (ii) in the case of Borrower, certifying on behalf of each Credit Party that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Section 4 and the other Loan Documents

-44-

are true and correct in all material respects (or true and correct in all respects if such representation or warranty contains any materiality qualifier, including references to “material”, “Material Adverse Effect” or dollar thresholds), except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects (or true and correct in all respects if such representation or warranty contains any materiality qualifier, including references to “material”, “Material Adverse Effect” or dollar thresholds) as of such earlier date, and (B) no Default exists.

2.9.8. Within a reasonable time after the effective date of any increase, Agent shall, and is hereby authorized and directed to, revise the Commitment Schedule to reflect such increase and shall distribute such revised Commitment Schedule to each of the Lenders and Borrower, whereupon such revised Commitment Schedule shall replace the old Commitment Schedule and become part of this Agreement. On the Business Day following any such increase, all outstanding Base Rate Loans shall be reallocated among the Lenders (including any newly added Lenders) in accordance with the Lenders’ respective revised Applicable Percentages. LIBOR Loans shall not be reallocated among the Lenders prior to the expiration of the applicable Interest Period in effect at the time of any such increase.

2.10. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

2.10.1. Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan on the Maturity Date, (ii) to Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal balance of each Swingline Loan on the Maturity Date; provided, that on each date that a Revolving Loan is made, the Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding and (iii) to Agent the then unpaid amount of each Protective Advance or Overadvance on the earlier of the Maturity Date and demand by Agent.

2.10.2. At all times that cash dominion is in effect pursuant to Section 5.11.3, on each Business Day, Agent shall apply all funds credited to the Collection Account on such Business Day or the immediately preceding Business Day (at the discretion of Agent, whether or not immediately available) first to prepay any Protective Advances and Overadvances that may be outstanding, pro rata, second, to prepay any Swingline Loans, and third to prepay the Revolving Loans.

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

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

-45-

2.10.5. The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to Section 2.10.3 or 2.10.4 shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

2.10.6. Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by Agent.

2.11. Prepayment of Loans.

2.11.1. Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with Section 2.11.5.

2.11.2. Except for Overadvances permitted under Section 2.5, in the event and on such occasion that the total Revolving Exposure exceeds the lesser of (A) the aggregate Revolving Commitments or (B) the Borrowing Base, Borrower shall prepay the Revolving Loans and/or Swingline Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.

2.11.3. In the event and on each occasion that any Net Proceeds are received by or on behalf of any Credit Party in respect of any Prepayment Event, Borrower shall, immediately after such Net Proceeds are received by any Credit Party, prepay the Obligations as set forth in Section 2.11.4 below in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Net Proceeds; provided, that so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no prepayment shall be required to the extent a Credit Party reinvests the Net Proceeds of such Prepayment Event of less than $10,000,000 in assets of a kind then used or usable in the business of the Credit Parties (provided that in the case of Net Proceeds of casualty or insured damage relating to Inventory, such Net Proceeds shall be reinvested in Inventory) within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such Prepayment Event occurred.

2.11.4. All such amounts pursuant to Section 2.11.2 and 2.11.3 shall be applied, first to prepay any Protective Advances and Overadvances that may be outstanding, second, to prepay any Swingline Loans, and third to prepay the Revolving Loans without a corresponding reduction in the Revolving Commitment and thereafter (in the case of Section 2.11.2) to cash collateralize outstanding LC Exposure; provided that so long as no Event of Default exists, with respect to any prepayment of a LIBOR Loan, Agent will hold such amounts in a deposit account on terms mutually agreed by Borrower and Agent until the end of the applicable Interest Period with respect thereto and apply such prepayments to such LIBOR Loan only at the end of such applicable Interest Period.

-46-

2.11.5. Borrower shall notify Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by telephone (confirmed in writing) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a LIBOR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, Chicago time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, or (ii) in the case of prepayment of a Base Rate Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, Chicago time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.9, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.9. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Revolving Borrowing, Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Revolving Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Revolving Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.2. Each prepayment of a Revolving Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Revolving Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13.

2.12. Fees.

2.12.1. Borrower agrees to pay to Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the rate of (i) with respect to each fiscal quarter end prior to and including September 30, 2012, 0.375% per annum on the average daily amount of the Available Revolving Commitment during such quarter (or from the Closing Date through fiscal quarter end with respect to the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2012) of such Lender, (ii) with respect to any other fiscal quarter of Borrower, (a) if the average daily amount of the aggregate Revolving Exposure during such fiscal quarter is less than or equal to 67% of the total Revolving Commitments, 0.375% per annum on the average daily amount of the Available Revolving Commitment during such quarter of such Lender and (b) if the average daily amount of the aggregate Revolving Exposure during such fiscal quarter is more than 67% of the total Revolving Commitments, 0.25% per annum on the average daily amount of the Available Revolving Commitment during such quarter of such Lender, which fee shall accrue during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the date on which the Lenders’ Revolving Commitments terminate. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the first day of each fiscal quarter and on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed.

2.12.2. Borrower agrees to pay (i) to Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Spread used to determine the interest rate applicable to LIBOR Revolving Loans on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Revolving Commitment terminates and the date on which such Revolving Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to each LC Issuer (with respect to each Letter of Credit

-47-

issued by it) a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.125% per annum on the average daily amount of such LC Issuer’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as such LC Issuer’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of each calendar quarter shall be payable on the first day of each quarter following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to any LC Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.12.2 shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed.

2.12.3. Borrower agrees to pay to Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between Borrower and Agent.

2.12.4. All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to Agent (or to any LC Issuer, in the case of fees payable to such LC Issuer) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and participation fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

2.13. Interest.

2.13.1. The Loans comprising each Base Rate Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Spread.

2.13.2. The Loans comprising each LIBOR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBOR for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Spread.

2.13.3. Each Protective Advance and each Overadvance shall bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Spread for Revolving Loans plus 2%.

2.13.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, either Agent or the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to Borrower (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 10.2 requiring the consent of “each Lender affected thereby” for reductions in interest rates), declare that (i) all Loans shall bear interest at 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loans as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount outstanding hereunder and then due and payable, such amount shall accrue at 2% plus the rate applicable to such fee or other obligation as provided hereunder.

-48-

2.13.5. Accrued interest on each Loan (for Base Rate Loans, accrued through the last day of the prior calendar quarter) shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and upon termination of the Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 2.13.4 shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of a Base Rate Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any LIBOR Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the closing date of such conversion.

2.13.6. All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed. The applicable Base Rate or Adjusted LIBOR shall be determined by Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

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

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

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

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

2.15. Increased Costs.

2.15.1. If any Change in Law shall:

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

-49-

(b) impose on any Lender or any LC Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or LIBOR Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

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

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

2.15.3. A certificate of a Lender or an LC Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such LC Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, and setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount or amounts shall have been determined, shall be delivered to Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender or such LC Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

2.15.4. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any LC Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such LC Issuer’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an LC Issuer pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or such LC Issuer, as the case may be, notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such LC Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

-50-

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

2.17. Taxes.

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

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

2.17.3. Borrower shall indemnify Agent, each Lender and each LC Issuer, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by Agent, such Lender or such LC Issuer, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or

-51-

with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Lender or an LC Issuer, or by Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an LC Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

2.17.4. Each Lender and each LC Issuer shall indemnify Borrower and Agent, within 10 days after written demand therefor, against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and reasonable expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for Borrower or Agent) incurred by or asserted against Borrower or Agent by any Governmental Authority as a result of the failure by such Lender or such LC Issuer, as the case may be, to deliver, or as a result of the inaccuracy, inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered to Borrower or Agent pursuant to Section 2.17.6. Each Lender and each LC Issuer hereby authorizes Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or such LC Issuer, as the case may be, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to Agent under this Section 2.17.4.

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

2.17.6. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to Borrower (with a copy to Agent), on or prior to the date such Foreign Lender becomes a party to this Agreement and at such other time or times prescribed by applicable law or if requested by the Borrower or Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate. Each U.S. Lender shall deliver to Borrower (with a copy to Agent) on or prior to the date such U.S. Lender becomes a party to this Agreement and at such other time or times prescribed by applicable law or if requested by the Borrower or Agent, a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-9 (or successor form) including such U.S. Lender’s taxpayer identification number and certifying that such U.S. Lender is exempt or otherwise not subject to U.S. backup withholding.

2.17.7. If Agent or a Lender has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrower or with respect to which Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall pay over such refund to Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrower under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of Agent or such

-52-

Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that Borrower, upon the request of Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to Agent or such Lender in the event Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person.

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

2.18.1. Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon, Chicago time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to Agent at the address for payment specified in writing by Agent to Borrower, except payments to be made directly to an LC Issuer or to Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 10.3 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in U.S. Dollars.

2.18.2. Any proceeds of Collateral received by Agent (i) not constituting either (A) a specific payment of principal, interest, fees or other sum payable under the Loan Documents (which shall if no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing be applied as specified by Borrower), (B) a mandatory prepayment (which shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.11) or (C) amounts to be applied from the Collection Account when cash dominion is in effect (which shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.10.2) or (ii) after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Agent so elects or the Required Lenders so direct, shall be applied ratably first, to pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements including amounts then due to Agent and any LC Issuer from Borrower (other than in connection with Banking Services or Swap Obligations), second, to pay interest due in respect of the Overadvances and Protective Advances, third, to pay the principal of the Overadvances and Protective Advances, fourth, to pay interest then due in respect of the Swingline Loans, fifth, to pay the principal on the Swingline Loans, sixth, to pay interest then due and payable on the Loans (other than the Overadvances, Protective Advances and Swingline Loans) ratably, seventh, to prepay principal on the Loans (other than the Overadvances, Protective Advances and Swingline Loans) and unreimbursed or unpaid LC Disbursements ratably, eighth, to pay an amount to Agent equal to one hundred

-53-

three percent (103%) of the aggregate undrawn face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, to be held as cash collateral for such Obligations, ninth, to payment of any amounts owing with respect to Banking Services Obligations and Swap Obligations, in each case, to the extent that they constitute Secured Obligations, and tenth, to the payment of any other Secured Obligation due to Agent or any Lender by any Credit Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, unless so directed by Borrower, or unless an Event of Default is in existence, neither Agent nor any Lender shall apply any payment which it receives to any LIBOR Loan of a Class, except (a) on the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable to any such LIBOR Loan or (b) in the event, and only to the extent, that there are no outstanding Base Rate Loans of the same Class and, in any such event, Borrower shall pay the break funding payment required in accordance with Section 2.16. Agent and the Lenders shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and reverse and reapply any and all such proceeds and payments to any portion of the Secured Obligations.

2.18.3. At the election of Agent, all payments of principal, interest, LC Disbursements, fees, premiums, reimbursable expenses (including, without limitation, all reimbursement for fees and expenses pursuant to Section 10.3), and other sums payable under the Loan Documents, may be paid from the proceeds of Borrowings made hereunder whether made following a request by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.3 or a deemed request as provided in this Section or may be deducted from any deposit account of Borrower maintained with Agent. Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes (i) Agent to make a Borrowing for the purpose of paying each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder or any other amount due under the Loan Documents and agrees that all such amounts charged shall constitute Loans (including Swingline Loans and Overadvances, but such a Borrowing may only constitute a Protective Advance if it is to reimburse costs, fees and expenses as described in Section 10.3) and that all such Borrowings shall be deemed to have been requested pursuant to Sections 2.3, 2.4 or 2.5, as applicable and (ii) Agent to charge any deposit account of Borrower maintained with Agent for each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder or any other amount due under the Loan Documents.

2.18.4. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in LC Disbursements; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any

-54-

payment made by any Credit Party pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to any Credit Party or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 2.18.4 shall apply). Each Credit Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each Credit Party rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Credit Party in the amount of such participation.

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

2.18.6. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it hereunder, then Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations hereunder until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and apply any such amounts to, any future funding obligations of such Lender hereunder; application of amounts pursuant to (i) and (ii) above shall be made in such order as may be determined by Agent in its discretion.

2.19. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

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

-55-

2.19.2. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.4), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

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

2.20.1. Fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12.1;

2.20.2. The Commitment and Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 10.2), provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender which increases the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender;

2.20.3. If any Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(a) all or any part of such Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent (x) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Commitments and (y) the conditions set forth in Section 3.2 are satisfied at such time; and

(b) if the reallocation described in clause (a) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (a) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.6.10 for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

(c) if Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (b) above, Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12.2 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;

2.21. Returned Payments. If after receipt of any payment which is applied to the payment of all or any part of the Obligations, Agent or any Lender is for any reason compelled to surrender such payment or proceeds to any Person because such payment or application of proceeds is invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside, determined to be void or voidable as a preference, impermissible setoff, or a diversion of trust funds, or for any other reason, then the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued and this Agreement shall continue in full force as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Agent or such Lender.

4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. The Credit Parties, jointly and severally, represent and warrant to Agent and each

Lender that the following are, true, correct and complete:

4.1. Corporate Existence and Power. Each Credit Party:

(a) is a corporation, limited liability company or limited partnership, as applicable, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, organization or formation, as applicable;

-59-

(b) has the power and authority and all governmental licenses, authorizations, Permits, consents and approvals (i) to own its assets and carry on its business except to the extent that failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect and (ii) to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under, the Loan Documents to which it is a party;

(c) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation, limited liability company or limited partnership, as applicable, and licensed and in good standing, under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of Property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification or license;

(d) is in compliance with its Organizational Documents; and

(e) is in compliance in all material respects with all Requirements of Law;

except, in each case referred to in clause (c) or clause (d), to the extent that the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

4.2. Corporate Authorization; No Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by each of the Credit Parties of this Agreement, and of any other Loan Document to which such Person is party, have been duly authorized by all necessary action, and do not and will not:

(a) contravene the terms of any of that Person’s Organization Documents;

(b) conflict with or result in any breach or contravention of, or result in the creation of any Lien under, any document evidencing any material Contractual Obligation to which such Person is a party or any order, injunction, writ or decree of any Governmental Authority to which such Person or its Property is subject; or

except, in each case referred to in clause (c), as would not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

4.3. Governmental Authorization. No approval, consent, exemption, authorization, or other action by, or notice to, or filing with, any Governmental Authority is necessary or required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by, or enforcement against, any Credit Party of this Agreement or any other Loan Document except (a) for recordings and filings in connection with the Liens granted to Agent under the Collateral Documents, (b) for those obtained or made on or prior to the Closing Date and (c) except as would not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

-60-

4.4. Binding Effect. This Agreement and each other Loan Document to which any Credit Party is a party constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of each such Person which is a party thereto, enforceable against such Person in accordance with their respective terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability.

4.5. Litigation. There are no actions, suits, proceedings, claims or disputes pending, or to the Knowledge of Borrower, threatened or contemplated, at law, in equity, in arbitration or before any Governmental Authority, against any Credit Party, any Subsidiary of any Credit Party or any of their respective Properties which:

(a) purport to affect or pertain to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; or

(b) would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

No injunction, writ, temporary restraining order or any order of any nature has been issued by any court or other Governmental Authority purporting to enjoin or restrain the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or directing that the transactions provided for herein or therein not be consummated as herein or therein provided.

4.6. No Default. No Default or Event of Default exists or would result from the incurring of any Obligations by any Credit Party or the grant or perfection of Agent’s Liens on the Collateral. No Credit Party and no Subsidiary of any Credit Party is in default under or with respect to any Contractual Obligation in any respect which, individually or together with all such defaults, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.7. ERISA Compliance. Schedule 4.7 sets forth, as of the Closing Date, a complete and correct list of, and that separately identifies, (a) all Title IV Plans, (b) all Multiemployer Plans and (c) all material Benefit Plans. Each Benefit Plan, and each trust thereunder, intended to qualify for tax exempt status under Section 401 or 501 of the Code or other Requirements of Law so qualifies. Except for those that would not reasonably be expected to result in Liabilities in excess of $1,000,000 in the aggregate, (x) each Benefit Plan is in compliance with applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and other Requirements of Law, (y) there are no existing or pending (or to the Knowledge of Borrower, threatened) claims (other than routine claims for benefits in the normal course), sanctions, actions, lawsuits or other proceedings or investigation involving any Benefit Plan to which any Credit Party incurs or otherwise has or could have an obligation or any Liability and (z) no ERISA Event is reasonably expected to occur. No ERISA Event has occurred in connection with which obligations and liabilities (contingent or otherwise) remain outstanding. No ERISA Event is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The investment by any Title IV Plan in the Collective Master Trust does not constitute a “prohibited transaction” within

-61-

the meaning of Section 4975 of the Code. The value of the trust interests in the Collective Master Trust held by a Title IV Plan is determined based on such Title IV Plan’s ownership interest in the Collective Master Trust and will not be increased or decreased by the claims or liabilities of any other benefit plan that also holds trust interests in the Collective Master Trust. No Credit Party is an ERISA Affiliate of any Person other than another Credit Party.

4.8. Ownership of Property; Liens.

(a) As of the Closing Date, the Real Estate listed in Schedule 4.8 constitutes all of the Real Estate of each Credit Party and each of their respective Subsidiaries.

None of the Real Estate of any Credit Party or any Subsidiary of any Credit Party is subject to any Liens other than Permitted Liens. All material permits required to have been issued or appropriate to enable the Real Estate to be lawfully occupied and used for all of the purposes for which it is currently occupied and used have been lawfully issued and are in full force and effect.

(b) Each Credit Party has complied with all obligations under all leases to which it is a party, except where the failure to comply would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, and all such leases are in full force and effect, except leases in respect of which the failure to be in full force and effect would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. Each Credit Party enjoys peaceful and undisturbed possession under all such leases, other than leases in respect of which the failure to enjoy peaceful and undisturbed possession would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) The provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents create legal and valid Liens on all the Collateral in favor of Agent, for the benefit of Agent and the Lenders, and such Liens constitute perfected and continuing Liens on the Collateral, securing the Secured Obligations, enforceable against the applicable Credit Party and all third parties, and having priority over all other Liens on the Collateral except in the case of Permitted Liens.

4.9. Taxes. Each Credit Party and its Subsidiaries has timely filed or caused to be filed all material Tax returns and reports required to have been filed and has paid or caused to be paid all material Taxes required to have been paid by it, except Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which such Credit Party or such Subsidiary, as applicable, has set aside on its books adequate reserves. No tax liens have been filed and no claims are being asserted with respect to any such Taxes.

4.11. Environmental Matters. Except for any matters that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (i) no Credit Party nor any of its Subsidiaries has received written notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability, and (ii) no Credit Party nor any of its Subsidiaries (1) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law applicable to such Person or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval required under any Environmental Law applicable to such Person or (2) to Borrower’s knowledge, has become subject to any Environmental Liability.

The hours worked by and payments made to employees of the Credit Parties and the Subsidiaries have not been in material violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable Federal, state or local law dealing with such matters. All payments due from any Credit Party or any Subsidiary, or for which any claim may be made against any Credit Party or any Subsidiary, on account of wages and employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits, have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the Credit Party or such Subsidiary.

Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor. After the Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section, Section 2.17.4 and Section 10.3 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Agent.

Each Person that has an interest in any Secured Obligations acknowledges and agrees that neither Agent or any Lender owes such Person, solely by virtue of its interest in Banking Services Obligations and Swap Obligations, any duty under the Loan Documents (except that any payments in respect of the Obligations and proceeds of Collateral, in each case received by Agent, shall be applied as provided in Section 2.18.2) and such Person, solely by virtue of its interest in such Swap Obligations, has no voting or consent rights under the Loan Documents (including Section 10.2 of this Agreement). Each Person that has an interest in any Secured Obligations by virtue of its interest in Banking Services Obligations and Swap Obligations shall provide a written certification (setting forth a reasonably detailed calculation, including a marked-to-market calculation where applicable) to Agent as to the amounts that are due and owing to it with respect to such Secured Obligations on or prior to the fifth (5th) Business Day after the end of each calendar month (or on a more frequent basis as required by Agent). No such written certification may be delivered to Agent during the existence of an Event of Default or during the making of any distribution pursuant to Section 2.18.2. Agent shall have no obligation to calculate the amount due and payable with respect to any Banking Services Obligations and Swap Obligations, but may rely upon the written certification of the amount due and payable from the Person with the interest in such Banking Services Obligations and Swap Obligations. In the absence of an updated certification, Agent shall be entitled to assume that the amount due and payable to such Person is the amount last certified to Agent by such Person as being due and payable (less any distributions made by Agent to such Person on account thereof). Agent shall be entitled to assume no amounts that are due or owing in respect of any claimed Banking Service Obligations and/or Swap Obligations unless Agent has received a written certification pursuant to this Section 9.8 with respect thereto.

9.9. Other Agents. The Syndication Agent and Documentation Agent shall not have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such.

10.1.2.

-95-

10.1.3. Any party hereto may change its address or facsimile number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto.

10.2. Waivers; Amendments.

10.2.1. No failure or delay by Agent, any LC Issuer or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of Agent, LC Issuers and the Lenders hereunder and under any other Loan Document are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Credit Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 10.2.2, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether Agent, any Lender or the Issuer may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

10.2.2. Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (i) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Borrower and the Required Lenders or, (ii) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Agent and the Borrower, with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (provided that the Administrative Agent may make Protective Advances as set forth in Section 2.4), (ii) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce or forgive any interest or fees payable hereunder (other than the waiver of any prepayment required by Section 2.11.13), without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (iii) postpone any scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any date for the payment of any interest, fees or other Obligations payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.18.2 or 2.18.4 in a manner that would alter the manner in which payments are shared, without the written consent of each Lender, (v) change any of the provisions of this Section 10.2.2 or the definition of “Required Lenders”, the definition of “Supermajority Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender,

-96-

(vi) release any Credit Party from its respective payment Obligations under the Loan Documents (except as otherwise permitted herein or in the other Loan Documents), without the written consent of each Lender, or (vii) except as may otherwise be provided in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, release all or substantially all of the Collateral, without the written consent of each Lender; provided further that no such agreement shall amend or modify the definitions of Eligible Accounts, Eligible Inventory, Borrowing Base or any of the defined terms used in such definitions (provided that Agent in its sole discretion may add, remove, reduce or increase any Reserve) in a manner that would increase the availability of credit under the Revolving Commitments, or modify that portion of Section 2.1 which limits the amount that can be borrowed, in each case without the written consent of the Supermajority Lenders; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of Agent, any LC Issuer or the Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of Agent, such LC Issuer or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be (it being understood that any change to Section 2.20 shall require the consent of Agent, the Swingline Lender and the LC Issuers). Agent may also amend the Commitment Schedule to reflect assignments entered into pursuant to Section 10.4.

10.2.3. If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of “each Lender” or “each Lender affected thereby,” the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then Borrower may elect to replace a Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement, provided that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity which is reasonably satisfactory to Borrower and Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Loans and other Obligations due to the Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to an Assignment Agreement and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of Section 10.4.2, and (ii) Borrower shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement (1) all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Non-Consenting Lender by Borrower hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Non-Consenting Lender under Sections 2.15 and 2.17, and (2) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 2.16 had the Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.2, Loan Documents may be amended and waived with the consent of Agent at the request of the Borrower without the need to obtain the consent of any other Lenders if such amendment or waiver is delivered in order to cure ambiguities or defects in such Loan Documents.

-97-

10.3. Expenses; Indemnification.

10.3.1. Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred by Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for Agent, in connection with the syndication and distribution (including, without limitation, via the internet or through a service such as DebtX) of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of the Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions of the Loan Documents (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any LC Issuer in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Agent, any LC Issuer or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for Agent, any LC Issuer or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement, collection or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit. Expenses being reimbursed by Borrower under this Section include, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with:

(a) appraisals and insurance reviews (subject to the limitations specified in Sections 5.2(n) and 5.9);

(b) field examinations and the preparation of Reports based on the fees charged by a third party retained by Agent or the internally allocated fees for each Person employed by Agent with respect to each field examination (subject to the limitations specified in Sections 5.2(n) and 5.9);

(c) fees charged by a third party retained by Agent to review and reconcile amounts reported on Borrowing Base Certificates to the related source documents provided by Borrower;

(d) background checks regarding senior management and/or key investors, as deemed necessary or appropriate in the Permitted Discretion of Agent;

(e) taxes, fees and other charges for lien searches, filing financing statements and continuations, and other actions to perfect, protect, and continue Agent’s Liens;

(f) sums paid or incurred to take any action required of any Credit Party under the Loan Documents that such Credit Party fails to pay or take; and

(g) forwarding loan proceeds, collecting checks and other items of payment, and establishing and maintaining the Collateral Deposit Accounts and Lock Boxes, and costs and expenses of preserving and protecting the Collateral.

-98-

All of the foregoing costs and expenses may be charged to Borrower as Revolving Loans or to another deposit account, all as described in Section 2.18.3.

10.3.2. Borrower shall indemnify Agent, the LC Issuers and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of the Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by an LC Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any Property owned or operated by any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability attributable to any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries, (iv) the failure of Borrower to deliver to Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence with respect to a payment made by Borrower for Taxes pursuant to Section 2.17, or (v) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

10.3.3. To the extent that Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to Agent or any LC Issuer or the Swingline Lender under Sections 10.3.1 or 10.3.2, each Lender severally agrees to pay to Agent, such LC Issuer or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, penalty, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against Agent, such LC Issuer or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such.

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

10.3.5. All amounts due under this Section 10.3 shall be payable not later than five (5) Business Days after written demand therefor.

-99-

10.4. Successors and Assigns.

10.4.1. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of an LC Issuer that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) no Credit Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of an LC Issuer that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in Section 10.4.3) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of Agent, each LC Issuer and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

10.4.2. (a) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of:

(i) Borrower, provided that no consent of Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; provided further that no additional consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment during the primary syndication of the Loans to Persons identified by Agent to the Borrower on or prior to the Closing Date and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower; and

(ii) Agent.

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

(i) no assignment shall be made to (A) any Credit Party or any Affiliate of a Credit Party or (B) any Defaulting Lender;

(ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment Agreement with respect to such assignment is delivered to Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of Borrower and Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

-100-

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

(iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to Agent an Assignment Agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; and

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

For purposes of this Section 10.4.2, the term “Approved Fund” has the following meaning:

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

(c) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment Agreement the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment Agreement covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 10.3). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.4.2 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.4.3.

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

-101-

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

(e) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment Agreement executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (a) of this Section, Agent shall accept such Assignment Agreement and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.5, 2.6.4 or 2.6.5, 2.7.2, 2.18.4 or 10.3.3, Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment Agreement and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

10.4.3. (a) Any Lender may, without the consent of Borrower, Agent, the LC Issuers or the Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) Borrower, Agent, the LC Issuers and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 10.2.2 that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (b) of this Section 10.4.3, Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.4.2. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.8 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18.3 as though it were a Lender.

(b) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 unless Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.17.6 as though it were a Lender.

-102-

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

10.5. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Credit Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that Agent, any LC Issuer or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 10.3 and Section 9 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

10.6. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.1, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Agent and when Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

-103-

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

10.8. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Credit Party against any of and all the Secured Obligations held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under the Loan Documents and although such obligations may be unmatured. No Lender (nor any Affiliate of a Lender) shall exercise any such right of set-off or application without the prior written consent of Agent or the Required Lenders. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

10.9. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

10.9.1. The Loan Documents (other than those containing a contrary express choice of law provision) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws (but otherwise without regard to the conflict of laws provisions) of the State of New York.

10.9.2. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 10.9.2, each party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any U.S. Federal or New York State court sitting in New York, New York in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that Agent, any LC Issuer or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding against any Credit Party or its properties in the courts of any other jurisdiction.

10.9.3. Each party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in Section 10.9.2. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

-104-

10.9.4. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.1. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

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

10.11. Headings. Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

10.12. Confidentiality. Each of Agent, the LC Issuers and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by Requirement of Law or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Credit Parties and their obligations, (g) with the consent of Borrower such consent (not to be unreasonably withheld); (h) to the extent necessary or customary for inclusion in league table measurements or in any tombstone or other advertising materials (and the Credit Parties
