granting of a Lien to the Second Lien Agent is found by a court of competent
jurisdiction pursuant to a final non-appealable order (including without
limitation an order approving a settlement releasing or resolving any potential
avoidance issues) at any time to constitute a preferential transfer pursuant to
Section 547 of title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy
Code”) in any subsequent bankruptcy case filed by or against the Borrower and/or

“MAE Exception” has the meaning set forth in Section 12.19.

currently outstanding letters of credit, (b) for general corporate purposes of
the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (including payment of trade payables) and
(c) for fees, costs and expenses in connection with the Financing Transactions

of doubt, in accordance with Section 9.01), and (b) for fees, costs and expenses
in connection with the Transactions (as defined in the Seventh Amendment), the

carrying margin stock

 

3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(within the meaning of Regulation T, U or X of the Board).  No part of the
proceeds of any Loan will be used for any purpose which violates the provisions
of Regulations T, U or X of the Board.”

 

(c)                                  Amendment to Section 12.19.  Section 12.19
of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as
follows:

 

“Moratorium on Financing Alternatives.  Each Lender hereby agrees that from the
Seventh Amendment Effective Date until (but excluding) December 7, 2015 it shall
not in any manner propose or offer to, or solicit from, the Borrower, any of its
Subsidiaries or any of the Borrower’s or its Subsidiaries’ affiliates, managers,
officers, directors or legal or financial advisors, any aspect of any DIP

any of the Borrower’s or its Subsidiaries’ affiliates, managers, officers,
directors or legal or financial advisors, a DIP Financing or similar financing
arrangement (a “Permitted Joint DIP Proposal”).  The Borrower and each of its
Subsidiaries hereby agree that from the Seventh Amendment Effective Date until
(but excluding) December 7, 2015 it shall not, and shall not permit any of its
affiliates, managers, directors, officers or legal or financial advisors to,
solicit from or discuss in any manner any aspect of any DIP Financing or similar
arrangement with any Person (other than any Permitted Joint DIP Proposal). 
Notwithstanding the foregoing Section 12.19, the parties hereto agree and
acknowledge that the restrictions set forth in this Section 12.19 shall fall
away and be of no further force and effect if a Material Adverse Effect under
clause (a) of the definition thereof has occurred or is reasonably expected to
occur (a “MAE Exception”) or if the the funding of its Incremental Commitment
does not occur on December 1, 2015. In the event an MAE Exception occurs, the
Borrower shall deliver, as promptly as practicable, written notice thereof to
the Majority Lenders signatory hereto, with a copy to the Administrative Agent
and the Loan Administrator.”

 

4.                                      Ratification. Each of the Borrower and
the Guarantors hereby (a) ratifies and reaffirms (after giving effect to this
Amendment) all of its respective payment and performance obligations under the
Credit Agreement and each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party,
(b) agrees and acknowledges that the Credit Agreement as amended hereby and each
of the Loan Documents to which it is a party are and shall continue to be in
full force and effect as amended and/or modified by this Amendment, and
(c) ratifies and reaffirms any guarantee of the Obligations under the Loan
Documents to which it is a party and the grant of security interests and liens
by it under any of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, and confirms and
agrees that such guarantees, security interests and liens hereafter guaranty or
secure, as applicable, all of the Obligations under the Credit Agreement as
amended hereby.  Except as provided herein, nothing in this Amendment or the
other Loan Documents in any manner (i) impairs or adversely affects the
continuation of the liability of the Borrower and the Guarantors for the
Obligations incurred, granted, pledged and/or assigned prior to the Effective
Date to the Lenders under the

 

4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents or (ii) impairs, limits,

obligation created by or contained herein or therein.

Agent, the Loan Administrator and the Lenders that (a) this Amendment has been
duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Borrower and Guarantors; (b) this
Amendment constitutes a valid and legally binding agreement enforceable against

amended hereby and the Loan Documents are true and correct on and as of the date

to be true and correct in all material respects as of such specified earlier
date); provided that any representation or warranty that is qualified as to

12.                               Repayment of Incremental Loans From Avoided
Collateral.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Credit

Loan Administrator and the Administrative Agent may assume without inquiry that
any repayment of principal or accrued and unpaid interest or distribution of
proceeds upon the exercise of remedies has been made in accordance with this
Section 12.  It is agreed by the parties hereto that this Section 12 is an
express condition to the Second Lien Lenders’ and Second Lien Agent’s consent to
the Incremental Loans and the resulting increase of the Cap Amount under, and as
defined in, the Intercreditor Agreement.  Accordingly, it is further agreed by
the parties hereto that any cash collateral order or debtor in possession
financing order entered in a bankruptcy case filed by or against the Borrower
and/or the Guarantors shall include the substance of this Section 12.

 

13.                               Outstanding Indebtedness.  Without limiting
any other obligations owed under the Credit Agreement, the Borrower and the
Guarantors hereby acknowledge and agree that (a) immediately prior to the
effectiveness of this Amendment on the Effective Date, $60,000,000 in
outstanding principal amounts of Loans, $189,000 of accrued and unpaid interest
on such principal amount in an amount determined in accordance with the

counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

 

14.                               Release.  In further consideration of
Administrative Agent’s, Loan Administrator’s and the Lenders’ execution of this
Amendment, each Loan Party, individually and on behalf of its respective
successors (including any trustees acting on behalf of such Loan Party, and any
debtor-in-possession with respect to such Loan Party), assigns, Subsidiaries and
Affiliates, hereby forever releases Administrative Agent in its capacity as
Administrative Agent, the Loan Administrator in its capacity as Loan
Administrator and each Lender, in its capacity as lender under the Amended
Credit Agreement, and their respective successors, assigns, parents,
Subsidiaries, and Affiliates and their respective officers, employees,
directors, agents and attorneys (collectively, the “Releasees”) from any and all
debts, claims, demands, liabilities, responsibilities, disputes, causes,
damages, actions and causes of actions (whether at law or in

 

8

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

equity), and obligations of every nature whatsoever, whether liquidated or
unliquidated, whether matured or unmatured, whether fixed or contingent that
such Loan Party has or may have against the Releasees, or any of them, which
arise from or relate to any actions which the Releasees, or any of them, have or
may have taken or omitted to take in connection with the Credit Agreement as
amended herein or the other Loan Documents prior to the date hereof (including
with respect to the Obligations and any third parties liable in whole or in part
for the Obligations); provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt this
release does not apply to any items related to the Second Lien Term Loan or the
facility itself, the Senior Notes or any claim related to the Second Lien Loan
Documents or the Senior Notes; provided, further, this release does not
(a) apply to any release of the Releasees from any agreements, covenants,
liabilities or obligations under any of the Loan Documents or in respect of the
“Obligations” or (b) constitute a release of, or covenant not to sue, in respect
of any Releasee arising from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud
(actual or constructive) of any Releasee.  This provision shall survive and
continue in full force and effect whether or not the Loan Parties shall satisfy
all other provisions of the Credit Agreement as amended hereby or the other Loan
Documents.

 

15.                               Instruction to Administrative Agent and Loan
Administrator.    Each of the Lenders signatory hereto (constituting Majority
Lenders) and each Incremental Lender, directs the Administrative Agent and the
Loan Administrator to execute this Agreement.  The Lenders and Incremental
Lenders agree that the indemnifications provided in Section 11.03 and
Section 12.03(d) of the Credit Agreement apply to the foregoing instruction and
the execution of this Agreement, and authorize the Loan Administrator and the
Administrative Agent to take action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such
powers and discretion under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents as
are delegated to the Administrative Agent and the Loan Administrator by the
terms thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably
incidental thereto.
