of (x) $75,000,000 and (y) seventy-five percent (75%) of the sum of Section
2.1(a)(y)(i) plus the lesser of Sections 2.1(a)(y)(ii)(A) and (B), in the
aggregate at any one time, minus
(iii)the aggregate Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding General Letters of
Credit, minus
(iv)the aggregate Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Surety Letters of
Credit, minus
(v)such reserves as Administrative Agent and Syndication Agent in their
Permitted Discretion may reasonably deem proper and necessary from time to time.
The amount derived from the sum of (x) Sections 2.1(a)(y)(i) and (ii) minus (y)
Sections 2.1 (a)(y)(iii), (iv) and (v) at any time and from time to time shall
be referred to as the “Formula Amount”. The Revolving Advances shall be
evidenced by one or more secured promissory notes (collectively, the “Revolving
Credit Note”) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1(a).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing or otherwise
in this Agreement, the outstanding aggregate principal amount of Swing Loans and
the Revolving Advances at any one time outstanding shall not exceed an amount
equal to the lesser of (i) the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount less the Maximum
Undrawn Amount of all outstanding General Letters of Credit or (ii) the Formula
Amount.
(b)[Reserved.]
(c)Discretionary Rights. The Advance Rates may be increased or decreased by
Administrative Agent and Syndication Agent at any time and from time to time in
the exercise of their Permitted Discretion. Each Borrower consents to any such
increases or decreases and acknowledges that decreasing the Advance Rates or
increasing or imposing reserves may limit or restrict Advances requested by
Borrowing Agent. The rights of Administrative Agent and Syndication Agent under
this subsection are subject to the provisions of Section 16.2(b).
2.Procedures for Requesting Revolving Advances; Procedures for Selection of
Applicable Interest Rates for All Advances.
(a)Borrowing Agent on behalf of any Borrower may notify Administrative Agent
prior to 1:00 p.m. on a Business Day of a Borrower’s request to incur, on that
day, a Revolving Advance hereunder. Should any amount required to be paid as
interest hereunder, or as fees or other charges under this Agreement or any
other agreement with Administrative Agent or Lenders, or with respect to any
other Obligation under this Agreement, become due, same shall be deemed a
request for a Revolving Advance maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan as of the
date such payment is due, in the amount required to pay in full such interest,
fee, charge or Obligation, and such request shall be irrevocable.
(b)Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) above, in the event any
Borrower desires to obtain a LIBOR Rate Loan for any Advance (other than a Swing
Loan), Borrowing Agent shall give Administrative Agent written notice by no
later than 1:00 p.m. on the day which is three (3) Business Days prior to the
date such LIBOR Rate Loan is to be borrowed, specifying (i) the date of the
proposed borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the type of borrowing
and the amount of such Advance to be borrowed, which amount shall be in a
minimum amount of $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of $100,000 thereafter,
and (iii) the duration of the first Interest Period therefor. Interest Periods
for LIBOR Rate Loans shall be for one (1), two (2) or three (3) months; provided
that, if an Interest Period would end on a day that is not a Business Day, it
shall end on the next succeeding Business Day unless such day falls in the next
succeeding calendar month in which case the Interest Period shall end on the
next preceding Business Day. No LIBOR Rate Loan shall be made available to any
Borrower during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default. After
giving effect to each requested LIBOR Rate Loan, including those which are
converted from a Domestic Rate Loan under Section 2.2(e), there shall not be
outstanding more than three (3) LIBOR Rate Loans, in the aggregate.
(c)Each Interest Period of a LIBOR Rate Loan shall commence on the date such
LIBOR Rate Loan is made and shall end on such date as Borrowing Agent may elect
as set forth in subsection (b)(iii) above, provided that the exact length of
each Interest Period shall be determined in accordance with the practice of the
interbank market for offshore Dollar deposits and no Interest Period shall end
after the last day of the Term.
(d)Borrowing Agent shall elect the initial Interest Period applicable to a LIBOR
Rate Loan by its notice of borrowing given to Administrative Agent pursuant to
Section 2.2(b) or by its notice of conversion given to Administrative Agent
pursuant to Section 2.2(e), as the case may be. Borrowing Agent shall elect the
duration of each succeeding Interest Period by giving irrevocable written notice
to Administrative Agent of such duration not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day
which is three (3) Business Days prior to the last day of the then current
Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan. If Administrative Agent does
not receive timely notice of the Interest Period elected by Borrowing Agent,
Borrowing Agent shall be deemed to have elected to convert such LIBOR Rate Loan
to a Domestic Rate Loan subject to Section 2.2(e) below.

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

(e)Provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, Borrowing Agent may, on the last Business Day of the then current
Interest Period applicable to any outstanding LIBOR Rate Loan, or on any
Business Day with respect to Domestic Rate Loans, convert any such loan into a
loan of another type in the same aggregate principal amount provided that any
conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be made only on the last Business Day of
the then current Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan. If
Borrowing Agent desires to convert a loan, Borrowing Agent shall give
Administrative Agent written notice by no later than 1:00 p.m. (i) on the day
which is three (3) Business Days prior to the date on which such conversion is
to occur with respect to a conversion from a Domestic Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate
Loan, or (ii) on the day which is one (1) Business Day prior to the date on
which such conversion is to occur (which date shall be the last Business Day of
the Interest Period for the applicable LIBOR Rate Loan) with respect to a
conversion from a LIBOR Rate Loan to a Domestic Rate Loan, specifying, in each
case, the date of such conversion, the loans to be converted and if the
conversion is to a LIBOR Rate Loan, the duration of the first Interest Period
therefor.
(f)At its option and upon written notice given prior to 1:00 p.m. at least three
(3) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment, any Borrower may,
subject to Section 2.2(g) hereof, prepay the LIBOR Rate Loans in whole at any
time or in part from time to time with accrued interest on the principal being
prepaid to the date of such repayment. Such Borrower shall specify the date of
prepayment of Advances which are LIBOR Rate Loans and the amount of such
prepayment. In the event that any prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Loan is required or
permitted on a date other than the last Business Day of the then current
Interest Period with respect thereto, such Borrower shall indemnify
Administrative Agent and Lenders therefor in accordance with Section 2.2(g)
hereof.
(g)Each Borrower shall indemnify Administrative Agent and Lenders and hold
Administrative Agent and Lenders harmless from and against any and all losses or
expenses that Administrative Agent and Lenders may sustain or incur as a
consequence of any prepayment, conversion of or any default by any Borrower in
the payment of the principal of or interest on any LIBOR Rate Loan or failure by
any Borrower to complete a borrowing of, a prepayment of or conversion of or to
a LIBOR Rate Loan after notice thereof has been given, including, but not
limited to, any interest payable by Administrative Agent or Lenders to lenders
of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain its LIBOR Rate Loans
hereunder, any loss of anticipated profits from any loss or expense arising from
the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such LIBOR
Rate Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds
were obtained. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to
the foregoing sentence submitted by Administrative Agent or any Lender to
Borrowing Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(h)Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if any Applicable Law, treaty,
regulation or directive, or any change therein or in the interpretation or
application thereof, including without limitation any Change in Law, shall make
it unlawful for Lenders or any Lender (for purposes of this subsection (h), the
term “Lender” shall include any Lender and the office or branch where any Lender
or any Person controlling such Lender makes or maintains any LIBOR Rate Loans)
to make or maintain its LIBOR Rate Loans, the obligation of Lenders (or such
affected Lender) to make LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder shall forthwith be cancelled
and Borrowers shall, if any affected LIBOR Rate Loans are then outstanding,
promptly upon request from Administrative Agent, either pay all such affected
LIBOR Rate Loans or convert such affected LIBOR Rate Loans into loans of another
type. If any such payment or conversion of any LIBOR Rate Loan is made on a day
that is not the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate
Loan, Borrowers shall pay Administrative Agent, upon Administrative Agent’s
request, such amount or amounts set forth in clause (g) above. A certificate as
to any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted
by Lenders to Borrowing Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
3.[Reserved]
4.Swing Loans.
(a)Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in order
to minimize the transfer of funds between Lenders and Administrative Agent for
administrative convenience, Administrative Agent, Lenders holding Revolving
Commitments and Swing Loan Lender agree that in order to facilitate the
administration of this Agreement, Swing Loan Lender may, at its election and
option made in its sole discretion cancelable at any time for any reason
whatsoever, make swing loan advances (“Swing Loans”) available to Borrowers as
provided for in this Section 2.4 at any time or from time to time after the date
hereof to, but not including, the expiration of the Term, in an aggregate
principal amount up to but not in excess of the Maximum Swing Loan Advance
Amount, provided that the outstanding aggregate principal amount of Swing Loans
and the Revolving Advances at any one time outstanding shall not exceed an
amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount less the
Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding General Letters of Credit or (ii) the
Formula Amount. All Swing Loans shall be Domestic Rate Loans only. Borrowers may
borrow (at the option and election of Swing Loan Lender), repay and reborrow (at
the option and election of Swing Loan Lender) Swing Loans and Swing Loan Lender
may make Swing Loans as provided in this Section 2.4 during the period between
Settlement Dates.  All Swing Loans shall be evidenced by a secured promissory
note (the “Swing Loan Note”) substantially in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit 2.4(a). Swing Loan Lender’s agreement to make Swing Loans under this
Agreement is cancelable at any time for any reason whatsoever and the making of
Swing Loans by Swing Loan Lender from time to time shall not create any duty or
obligation, or establish any course of conduct, pursuant to which Swing Loan
Lender shall thereafter be obligated to make Swing Loans in the future

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

(b)Upon either (i) any request by Borrowing Agent for a Revolving Advance made
pursuant to Section 2.2(a) hereof or (ii) the occurrence of any deemed request
by Borrowers for a Revolving Advance pursuant to the provisions of the last
sentence of Section 2.2(a) hereof, Swing Loan Lender may elect, in its sole
discretion, to have such request or deemed request treated as a request for a
Swing Loan, and may advance same day funds to Borrowers as a Swing Loan;
provided, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided for herein,
Swing Loan Lender may not make Swing Loan Advances if Swing Loan Lender has been
notified by Administrative Agent or by Required Lenders that one or more of the
applicable conditions set forth in Section 8.2 of this Agreement have not been
satisfied or the Revolving Commitments have been terminated for any reason.
(c)Upon the making of a Swing Loan (whether before or after the occurrence of a
Default or an Event of Default and regardless of whether a Settlement has been
requested with respect to such Swing Loan), each Lender holding a Revolving
Commitment shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have
unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from Swing Loan Lender, without
recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Swing Loan
in proportion to its Revolving Commitment Percentage. Swing Loan Lender or
Administrative Agent may, at any time, require the Lenders holding Revolving
Commitments to fund such participations by means of a Settlement as provided for
in Section 2.6(d) below. From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender
holding a Revolving Commitment is required to fund, and funds, its participation
in any Swing Loans purchased hereunder, Administrative Agent shall promptly
distribute to such Lender its Revolving Commitment Percentage of all payments of
principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by Administrative
Agent in respect of such Swing Loan; provided, that no Lender holding a
Revolving Commitment shall be obligated in any event to make Revolving Advances
in an amount in excess of its Revolving Commitment Amount minus its
Participation Commitment (taking into account any reallocations under Section
2.22) of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit.
5.Disbursement of Advance Proceeds. All Advances shall be disbursed from
whichever office or other place Administrative Agent may designate from time to
time and, together with any and all other Obligations of Borrowers to
Administrative Agent or Lenders, shall be charged to Borrowers’ Account on
Administrative Agent’s books. The proceeds of each Revolving Advance or Swing
Loan requested by Borrowing Agent on behalf of any Borrower or deemed to have
been requested by any Borrower under Sections 2.2(a), 2.6(b) or 2.14 hereof
shall, (i) with respect to requested Revolving Advances, to the extent Lenders
make such Revolving Advances in accordance with Section 2.2(a), 2.6(b) or 2.14
hereof, and with respect to Swing Loans made upon any request by Borrowing Agent
for a Revolving Advance to the extent Swing Loan Lender makes such Swing Loan in
accordance with Section 2.4(b) hereof, be made available to the applicable
Borrower on the day so requested by way of credit to such Borrower’s operating
account at PNC, or such other bank as Borrowing Agent may designate following
notification to Administrative Agent, in immediately available federal funds or
other immediately available funds or, (ii) with respect to Revolving Advances
deemed to have been requested by any Borrower or Swing Loans made upon any
deemed request for a Revolving Advance by any Borrower, be disbursed to
Administrative Agent to be applied to the outstanding Obligations giving rise to
such deemed request. During the Term, Borrowers may use the Revolving Advances
and Swing Loans by borrowing, prepaying and reborrowing, all in accordance with
the terms and conditions hereof.
6.Making and Settlement of Advances.
(a)Each borrowing of Revolving Advances shall be advanced according to the
applicable Revolving Commitment Percentages of Lenders holding the Revolving
Commitments (subject to any contrary terms of Section 2.22). Each borrowing of
Swing Loans shall be advanced by Swing Loan Lender alone.
(b)Promptly after receipt by Administrative Agent of a request or a deemed
request for a Revolving Advance pursuant to Section 2.2(a) and, with respect to
Revolving Advances, to the extent Administrative Agent elects not to provide a
Swing Loan or the making of a Swing Loan would result in the aggregate amount of
all outstanding Swing Loans exceeding the maximum amount permitted in Section
2.4(a), Administrative Agent shall notify Lenders holding the Revolving
Commitments of its receipt of such request specifying the information provided
by Borrowing Agent and the apportionment among Lenders of the requested
Revolving Advance as determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with the
terms hereof. Each Lender shall remit the principal amount of each Revolving
Advance to Administrative Agent such that Administrative Agent is able to, and
Administrative Agent shall, to the extent the applicable Lenders have made funds
available to it for such purpose and subject to Section 8.2, fund such Revolving
Advance to Borrowers in Dollars and immediately available funds at the Payment
Office prior to the close of business, on the applicable borrowing date;
provided, that if any applicable Lender fails to remit such funds to
Administrative Agent in a timely manner, Administrative Agent may elect in its
sole discretion to fund with its own funds the Revolving Advance of such Lender
on such borrowing date, and such Lender shall be subject to the repayment
obligation in Section 2.6(c) hereof.

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

(c)Unless Administrative Agent shall have been notified by telephone, confirmed
in writing, by any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment that such Lender will
not make the amount which would constitute its applicable Revolving Commitment
Percentage of the requested Revolving Advance available to Administrative Agent,
Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) assume that such Lender
has made such amount available to Administrative Agent on such date in
accordance with Section 2.6(b) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make
available to Borrowers a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has
not in fact made its applicable Revolving Commitment Percentage of the requested
Revolving Advance available to Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender
and Borrowers severally agree to pay to Administrative Agent on demand such
corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the
date such amount is made available to Borrowers through but excluding the date
of payment to Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made
by such Lender, the greater of (A) (x) the daily average Federal Funds Effective
Rate (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days) during such period as quoted
by Administrative Agent, times (y) such amount or (B) a rate determined by
Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation, and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by Borrower, the
Revolving Interest Rate for Revolving Advances that are Domestic Rate Loans. If
such Lender pays its share of the applicable Revolving Advance to Administrative
Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Advance.
Any payment by Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any claim Borrowers may
have against a Lender holding a Revolving Commitment that shall have failed to
make such payment to Administrative Agent. A certificate of Administrative Agent
submitted to any Lender or Borrower with respect to any amounts owing under this
paragraph (c) shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error.
(d)Administrative Agent, on behalf of Swing Loan Lender, shall demand settlement
(a “Settlement”) of all or any Swing Loans with Lenders holding the Revolving
Commitments on at least a weekly basis, or on any more frequent date that
Administrative Agent elects or that Swing Loan Lender at its option exercisable
for any reason whatsoever may request, by notifying Lenders holding the
Revolving Commitments of such requested Settlement by facsimile, telephonic or
electronic transmission no later than 3:00 p.m. on the date of such requested
Settlement (the “Settlement Date”). Subject to any contrary provisions of
Section 2.22, each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall transfer the
amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the outstanding
principal amount (plus interest accrued thereon to the extent requested by
Administrative Agent) of the applicable Swing Loan with respect to which
Settlement is requested by Administrative Agent, to such account of
Administrative Agent as Administrative Agent may designate not later than 5:00
p.m. on such Settlement Date if requested by Administrative Agent by 3:00 p.m.,
otherwise not later than 5:00 p.m. on the next Business Day. Settlements may
occur at any time notwithstanding that the conditions precedent to making
Revolving Advances set forth in Section 8.2 have not been satisfied or the
Revolving Commitments shall have otherwise been terminated at such time. All
amounts so transferred to Administrative Agent shall be applied against the
amount of outstanding Swing Loans and, when so applied shall constitute
Revolving Advances of such Lenders accruing interest as Domestic Rate Loans. If
any such amount is not transferred to Administrative Agent by any Lender holding
a Revolving Commitment on such Settlement Date, Administrative Agent shall be
entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with
interest thereon as specified in Section 2.6(c).
(e)If any Lender or Participant (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive
any payment of all or part of its Advances, or interest thereon, or receive any
Collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by
set-off) in a greater proportion than any such payment to and Collateral
received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s
Advances, or interest thereon, and such greater proportionate payment or receipt
of Collateral is not expressly permitted hereunder, such Benefited Lender shall
purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participation in such portion of each
such other Lender’s Advances, or shall provide such other Lender with the
benefits of any such Collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary
to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such
Collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the other Lenders; provided,
however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is
thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be
rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such
recovery, but without interest. Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and
agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under Applicable Law, that each
Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lender’s Advances may exercise all
rights of payment (including rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as
fully as if such Lender were the direct holder of such portion, and the
obligations owing to each such purchasing Lender in respect of such
participation and such purchased portion of any other Lender’s Advances shall be
part of the Obligations secured by the Collateral, and the obligations owing to
each such purchasing Lender in respect of such participation and such purchased
portion of any other Lender’s Advances shall be part of the Obligations secured
by the Collateral.
7.Maximum Advances. The aggregate balance of Revolving Advances plus Swing Loans
outstanding at any time shall not exceed the lesser of (a) the Maximum Revolving
Advance Amount less the aggregate Maximum Undrawn Amount of all issued and
outstanding General Letters of Credit or (b) the Formula Amount.

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

8.Manner and Repayment of Advances.
(a)The Revolving Advances and Swing Loans shall be due and payable in full on
the last day of the Term subject to earlier prepayment as herein provided.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Advances shall be subject to earlier
repayment upon (x) acceleration upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under
this Agreement or (y) termination of this Agreement. Each payment (including
each prepayment) by any Borrower on account of the principal of and interest on
the Advances shall be applied, first to the outstanding Swing Loans and next,
pro rata according to the applicable Revolving Commitment Percentages of
Lenders, to the outstanding Revolving Advances (subject to any contrary
provisions of Section 2.22).
(b)Each Borrower recognizes that the amounts evidenced by checks, notes, drafts
or any other items of payment relating to and/or proceeds of Collateral may not
be collectible by Administrative Agent on the date received by Administrative
Agent. Administrative Agent shall conditionally credit Borrowers’ Account for
each item of payment on the next Business Day after the Business Day on which
such item of payment is received by Administrative Agent (and the Business Day
on which each such item of payment is so credited shall be referred to, with
respect to such item, as the “Application Date”). Administrative Agent is not,
however, required to credit Borrowers’ Account for the amount of any item of
payment which is unsatisfactory to Administrative Agent and Administrative Agent
may charge Borrowers’ Account for the amount of any item of payment which is
returned, for any reason whatsoever, to Administrative Agent unpaid. Subject to
the foregoing, Borrowers agree that for purposes of computing the interest
charges under this Agreement, each item of payment received by Administrative
Agent shall be deemed applied by Administrative Agent on account of the
Obligations on its respective Application Date. Borrowers further agree that
there is a monthly float charge payable to Administrative Agent for
Administrative Agent’s sole benefit, in an amount equal to (y) the face amount
of all items of payment received during the prior month (including items of
payment received by Administrative Agent as a wire transfer or electronic
depository check) multiplied by (z) the Revolving Interest Rate with respect to
Domestic Rate Loans for one (1) Business Day. All proceeds received by
Administrative Agent shall be applied to the Obligations in accordance with
Section 4.8(g).
(c)All payments of principal, interest and other amounts payable hereunder, or
under any of the Other Documents shall be made to Administrative Agent at the
Payment Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the due date therefor in Dollars in
federal funds or other funds immediately available to Administrative Agent.
Administrative Agent shall have the right to effectuate payment of any and all
Obligations due and owing hereunder by charging Borrowers’ Account or by making
Advances as provided in Section 2.2 hereof.
(d)Except as expressly provided herein, all payments (including prepayments) to
be made by any Borrower on account of principal, interest, fees and other
amounts payable hereunder shall be made without deduction, setoff or
counterclaim and shall be made to Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders to
the Payment Office, in each case on or prior to 1:00 p.m., in Dollars and in
immediately available funds.
9.Repayment of Excess Advances. If at any time the aggregate balance of
outstanding Revolving Advances, Swing Loans, and/or Advances taken as a whole
exceeds the maximum amount of such type of Advances and/or Advances taken as a
whole (as applicable) permitted hereunder, such excess Advances shall be
immediately due and payable without the necessity of any demand, at the Payment
Office, whether or not a Default or an Event of Default has occurred.
10.Statement of Account. Administrative Agent shall maintain, in accordance with
its customary procedures, a loan account (“Borrowers’ Account”) in the name of
Borrowers in which shall be recorded the date and amount of each Advance made by
Administrative Agent or Lenders and the date and amount of each payment in
respect thereof; provided, however, the failure by Administrative Agent to
record the date and amount of any Advance shall not adversely affect
Administrative Agent or any Lender. Each month, Administrative Agent shall send
to Borrowing Agent a statement showing the accounting for the Advances made,
payments made or credited in respect thereof, and other transactions between
Administrative Agent, Lenders and Borrowers during such month. The monthly
statements shall be deemed correct and binding upon Borrowers in the absence of
manifest error and shall constitute an account stated between Lenders and
Borrowers unless Administrative Agent receives a written statement of Borrowers’
specific exceptions thereto within thirty (30) days after such statement is
received by Borrowing Agent. The records of Administrative Agent with respect to
Borrowers’ Account shall be conclusive evidence absent manifest error of the
amounts of Advances and other charges thereto and of payments applicable
thereto.
11.Letters of Credit.
(a)Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Issuer shall issue or cause the
issuance of standby and/or trade letters of credit denominated in Dollars
(“General Letters of Credit”) for the account of any Borrower except to the
extent that the issuance thereof would then cause the sum of (i) the outstanding
Revolving Advances, plus (ii) the outstanding Swing Loans, plus (iii) the
Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding General Letters of Credit, plus (iv)
the Maximum Undrawn Amount of the General Letter of Credit to be issued to
exceed the lesser of (x) the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount or (y) the Formula
Amount (calculated without giving effect to the deductions provided for in
Section 2.1(a)(y)(iv) ). The Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding General
Letters of Credit shall not exceed in the aggregate at any time the General
Letter of Credit Sublimit. All disbursements or payments related to Letters of
Credit shall be deemed to be Domestic Rate Loans consisting of Revolving
Advances and shall bear interest at the Revolving Interest Rate for Domestic
Rate Loans. Letters of Credit that have not been drawn upon shall not bear
interest (but fees shall accrue in respect of outstanding Letters of Credit as
provided in Section 3.2 hereof).

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

(b)Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Issuer shall issue or cause the
issuance of Surety Letters of Credit for the account of any Borrower except to
the extent that the issuance thereof would then cause the sum of (i) the Maximum
Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Surety Letters of Credit, plus (ii) the
Maximum Undrawn Amount of the Surety Letter of Credit to be issued to exceed the
lesser of (x) the Maximum Surety L/C Amount or (y) the Undrawn Availability (the
“Surety L/C Facility”). The Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Surety
Letters of Credit shall not exceed in the aggregate at any time the Maximum
Surety L/C Amount. All disbursements or payments related to Letters of Credit
shall be deemed to be Domestic Rate Loans consisting of Revolving Advances and
shall bear interest at the Revolving Interest Rate for Domestic Rate Loans.
Letters of Credit that have not been drawn upon shall not bear interest (but
fees shall accrue in respect of outstanding Letters of Credit as provided in
Section 3.2 hereof). As of the Restatement Effective Date, the Letters of Credit
listed on Schedule 2.11(b) hereto (the “Existing Surety L/Cs”) shall be deemed
to be outstanding under the Surety L/C Facility.
(c)Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, Issuer shall not be under
any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if (i) any order, judgment or
decree of any Governmental Body or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to
enjoin or restrain  Issuer from issuing any Letter of Credit, or any Law
applicable to Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the
force of law) from any Governmental Body with jurisdiction over Issuer shall
prohibit, or request that Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit
generally or the Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon Issuer with
respect to the Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement
(for which Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the
date of this Agreement, or shall impose upon Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost
or expense which was not applicable on the date of this Agreement, and which
Issuer in good faith deems material to it, or (ii) the issuance of the Letter of
Credit would violate one or more policies of Issuer applicable to letters of
credit generally.
12.Issuance of Letters of Credit.
(a)Borrowing Agent, on behalf of any Borrower, may request Issuer to issue or
cause the issuance of a Letter of Credit by delivering to Issuer, with a copy to
Administrative Agent at the Payment Office, prior to 1:00 p.m., at least five
(5) Business Days prior to the proposed date of issuance, such Issuer’s form of
Letter of Credit Application (the “Letter of Credit Application”) completed to
the satisfaction of Administrative Agent and Issuer; and, such other
certificates, documents and other papers and information as Administrative Agent
or Issuer may reasonably request. Issuer shall not issue any requested Letter of
Credit if such Issuer has received notice from Administrative Agent or any
Lender that one or more of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 8.2 of
this Agreement have not been satisfied or the commitments of Lenders to make
Revolving Advances hereunder have been terminated for any reason.
(b)Each Letter of Credit shall, among other things, (i) provide for the payment
of sight drafts, other written demands for payment, or acceptances of sight
drafts when presented for honor thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof
and when accompanied by the documents described therein and (ii) have an expiry
date not later than twelve (12) months after such Letter of Credit’s date of
issuance and in no event later than the last day of the Term. Each standby
Letter of Credit shall be subject either to the Uniform Customs and Practice for
Documentary Credits as most recently published by the International Chamber of
Commerce at the time a Letter of Credit is issued (the “UCP”) or the
International Standby Practices (International Chamber of Commerce Publication
Number 590) (the “ISP98 Rules”), or any subsequent revision thereof at the time
a standby Letter of Credit is issued, as determined by Issuer, and each trade
Letter of Credit shall be subject to the UCP. In addition, no trade Letter of
Credit may permit the presentation of an ocean bill of lading that includes a
condition that the original bill of lading is not required to claim the goods
shipped thereunder.
(c)Administrative Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to notify Lenders of
the request by Borrowing Agent for a Letter of Credit hereunder.
13.Requirements for Issuance of Letters of Credit.
(a)Borrowing Agent shall authorize and direct any Issuer to name the applicable
Borrower as the “Applicant” or “Account Party” of each Letter of Credit. If
Administrative Agent is not the Issuer of any Letter of Credit, Borrowing Agent
shall authorize and direct Issuer to deliver to Administrative Agent all
instruments, documents, and other writings and property received by Issuer
pursuant to the Letter of Credit and to accept and rely upon Administrative
Agent’s instructions and agreements with respect to all matters arising in
connection with the Letter of Credit, the application therefor.
(b)In connection with all Letters of Credit issued or caused to be issued by
Issuer under this Agreement, each Borrower hereby appoints Issuer, or its
designee, as its attorney, with full power and authority if an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing: (i) to sign and/or endorse such
Borrower’s name upon any warehouse or other receipts, and acceptances; (ii) to
sign such Borrower’s name on bills of lading; (iii) to clear Inventory through
the United States of America Customs Department (“Customs”) in the name of such
Borrower or Issuer or Issuer’s designee, and to sign and deliver to Customs
officials powers of attorney in the name of such Borrower for such purpose; and
(iv) to complete in such Borrower’s name or Issuer’s, or in the name of Issuer’s
designee, any order, sale or transaction, obtain the necessary documents in
connection therewith, and collect the proceeds thereof. Neither Administrative
Agent, Issuer nor their attorneys will be liable for any acts or omissions nor
for any error of judgment or mistakes of fact or law, except for Administrative
Agent’s, Issuer’s or their respective attorney’s willful misconduct. This power,
being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable as long as any Letters of Credit
remain outstanding.
(c)Surety Letters of Credit must meet the requirements set forth in the
definition thereof.

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

14.Disbursements, Reimbursement.
(a)Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender holding a
Revolving Commitment shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally agrees to, purchase from Issuer a participation in each Letter
of Credit and each drawing thereunder in an amount equal to such Lender’s
Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of such Letter of
Credit (as in effect from time to time) and the amount of such drawing,
respectively.
(b)In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of Credit by the
beneficiary or transferee thereof, Issuer will promptly notify Administrative
Agent and Borrowing Agent. Regardless of whether Borrowing Agent shall have
received such notice, Borrowers shall reimburse (such obligation to reimburse
Issuer shall sometimes be referred to as a “Reimbursement Obligation”) Issuer
prior to 12:00 Noon, on each date that an amount is paid by Issuer under any
Letter of Credit (each such date, a “Drawing Date”) in an amount equal to the
amount so paid by Issuer. In the event Borrowers fail to reimburse Issuer for
the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit by 12:00 Noon, on the
Drawing Date, Issuer will promptly notify Administrative Agent and each Lender
holding a Revolving Commitment thereof, and Borrowers shall be automatically
deemed to have requested that a Revolving Advance maintained as a Domestic Rate
Loan be made by Lenders to be disbursed on the Drawing Date under such Letter of
Credit, and Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments shall be unconditionally
obligated to fund such Revolving Advance (all whether or not the conditions
specified in Section 8.2 are then satisfied or the commitments of Lenders to
make Revolving Advances hereunder have been terminated for any reason) as
provided for in Section 2.14(c) immediately below. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if such Revolving Advance is in respect of any Surety L/C and would
cause the outstanding Revolving Advances of such Lender to exceed the amount
which such Lender is committed to advance pursuant to Section 2.1(a), then such
payment by such Lender shall constitute a Participation Advance as provided in
Section 2.14(d) below. Any notice given by Issuer pursuant to this Section
2.14(b) may be oral if promptly confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of
such a confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of
such notice.
(c)Each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall upon any notice pursuant to
Section 2.14(b) make available to Issuer through Administrative Agent at the
Payment Office an amount in immediately available funds equal to its Revolving
Commitment Percentage (subject to any contrary provisions of Section 2.22) of
the amount of the drawing, whereupon the participating Lenders shall (subject to
Section 2.14(d)) each be deemed to have made a Revolving Advance maintained as a
Domestic Rate Loan to Borrowers in that amount. If any Lender holding a
Revolving Commitment so notified fails to make available to Administrative
Agent, for the benefit of Issuer, the amount of such Lender’s Revolving
Commitment Percentage of such amount by 2:00 p.m. on the Drawing Date, then
interest shall accrue on such Lender’s obligation to make such payment, from the
Drawing Date to the date on which such Lender makes such payment (i) at a rate
per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate during the first three (3)
days following the Drawing Date and (ii) at a rate per annum equal to the rate
applicable to Revolving Advances maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan on and after
the fourth day following the Drawing Date. Administrative Agent and Issuer will
promptly give notice of the occurrence of the Drawing Date, but failure of
Administrative Agent or Issuer to give any such notice on the Drawing Date or in
sufficient time to enable any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment to effect
such payment on such date shall not relieve such Lender from its obligations
under this Section 2.14(c), provided that such Lender shall not be obligated to
pay interest as provided in Section 2.14(c)(i) and (ii) until and commencing
from the date of receipt of notice from Administrative Agent or Issuer of a
drawing.
(d)With respect to any unreimbursed drawing that is not converted into a
Revolving Advance maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan to Borrowers in whole or in
part as contemplated by Section 2.14(b), because of Borrowers’ failure to
satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 8.2 hereof (other than any notice
requirements) or for any other reason, Borrowers shall be deemed to have
incurred from Administrative Agent a borrowing (each a “Letter of Credit
Borrowing”) in the amount of such drawing. Such Letter of Credit Borrowing shall
be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at
the rate per annum applicable to a Revolving Advance maintained as a Domestic
Rate Loan. Each applicable Lender’s payment to Administrative Agent pursuant to
Section 2.14(c) shall be deemed to be a payment in respect of its participation
in such Letter of Credit Borrowing and shall constitute a “Participation
Advance” from such Lender in satisfaction of its Participation Commitment in
respect of the applicable Letter of Credit under this Section 2.14.
(e)Each applicable Lender’s Participation Commitment in respect of the Letters
of Credit shall continue until the last to occur of any of the following events:
(x) Issuer ceases to be obligated to issue or cause to be issued Letters of
Credit hereunder; (y) no Letter of Credit issued or created hereunder remains
outstanding and uncancelled; and (z) all Persons (other than Borrowers) have
been fully reimbursed for all payments made under or relating to Letters of
Credit.

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

15.Repayment of Participation Advances.
(a)Upon (and only upon) receipt by Administrative Agent for the account of
Issuer of immediately available funds from Borrowers (i) in reimbursement of any
payment made by Issuer or Administrative Agent under the Letter of Credit with
respect to which any Lender has made a Participation Advance to Administrative
Agent, or (ii) in payment of interest on such a payment made by Issuer or
Administrative Agent under such a Letter of Credit, Administrative Agent will
pay to each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment, in the same funds as those
received by Administrative Agent, the amount of such Lender’s Revolving
Commitment Percentage of such funds, except Administrative Agent shall retain
the amount of the Revolving Commitment Percentage of such funds of any Lender
holding a Revolving Commitment that did not make a Participation Advance in
respect of such payment by Administrative Agent (and, to the extent that any of
the other Lender(s) holding the Revolving Commitment have funded any portion of
such Defaulting Lender’s Participation Advance in accordance with the provisions
of Section 2.22, Administrative Agent will pay over to such Non-Defaulting
Lenders a pro rata portion of the funds so withheld from such Defaulting
Lender).
(b)If Issuer or Administrative Agent is required at any time to return to any
Borrower, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or any official in
any insolvency proceeding, any portion of the payments made by Borrowers to
Issuer or Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.15(a) in reimbursement of a
payment made under the Letter of Credit or interest or fee thereon, each
applicable Lender shall, on demand of Administrative Agent, forthwith return to
Issuer or Administrative Agent the amount of its Revolving Commitment Percentage
of any amounts so returned by Issuer or Administrative Agent plus interest at
the Federal Funds Effective Rate.
16.Documentation. Each Borrower agrees to be bound by the terms of the Letter of
Credit Application and by Issuer’s interpretations of any Letter of Credit
issued on behalf of such Borrower and by Issuer’s written regulations and
customary practices relating to letters of credit, though Issuer’s
interpretations may be different from such Borrower’s own. In the event of a
conflict between the Letter of Credit Application and this Agreement, this
Agreement shall govern. It is understood and agreed that, except in the case of
gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment), Issuer shall not be liable for
any error, negligence and/or mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in
following Borrowing Agent’s or any Borrower’s instructions or those contained in
the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto.
17.Determination to Honor Drawing Request. In determining whether to honor any
request for drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof,
Issuer shall be responsible only to determine that the documents and
certificates required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been
delivered and that they comply on their face with the requirements of such
Letter of Credit and that any other drawing condition appearing on the face of
such Letter of Credit has been satisfied in the manner so set forth.
18.Nature of Participation and Reimbursement Obligations. The obligation of each
Lender holding a Revolving Commitment in accordance with this Agreement to make
the Revolving Advances or Participation Advances as a result of a drawing under
a Letter of Credit, and the obligations of Borrowers to reimburse Issuer upon a
draw under a Letter of Credit, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable,
and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Section
2.18 under all circumstances, including the following circumstances:
(i)any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such
Lender or any Borrower, as the case may be, may have against Issuer,
Administrative Agent, any Borrower or Lender, as the case may be, or any other
Person for any reason whatsoever;
(ii)the failure of any Borrower or any other Person to comply, in connection
with a Letter of Credit Borrowing, with the conditions set forth in this
Agreement for the making of a Revolving Advance, it being acknowledged that such
conditions are not required for the making of a Letter of Credit Borrowing and
the obligation of Lenders to make Participation Advances under Section 2.14;
(iii)any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit;
(iv)any claim of breach of warranty that might be made by any Borrower,
Administrative Agent, Issuer or any Lender against the beneficiary of a Letter
of Credit, or the existence of any claim, set-off, recoupment, counterclaim,
cross-claim, defense or other right which any Borrower, Administrative Agent,
Issuer or any Lender may have at any time against a beneficiary, any successor
beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit or assignee of the
proceeds thereof (or any Persons for whom any such transferee or assignee may be
acting), Issuer, Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other Person, whether
in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any
unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between any Borrower
or any Subsidiaries of such Borrower and the beneficiary for which any Letter of
Credit was procured);
(v)the lack of power or authority of any signer of (or any defect in or forgery
of any signature or endorsement on) or the form of or lack of validity,
sufficiency, accuracy, enforceability or genuineness of any draft, demand,
instrument, certificate or other document presented under or in connection with
any Letter of Credit, or any fraud or alleged fraud in connection with any
Letter of Credit, or the transport of any property or provision of services
relating to a Letter of Credit, in each case even if Issuer or any of Issuer’s
Affiliates has been notified thereof;

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

(vi)payment by Issuer under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a
demand, draft or certificate or other document which is forged or does not fully
comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit (provided that the foregoing
shall not excuse Issuer from any obligation under the terms of any applicable
Letter of Credit to require the presentation of documents that on their face
appear to satisfy any applicable requirements for drawing under such Letter of
Credit prior to honoring or paying any such draw);
(vii)the solvency of, or any acts or omissions by, any beneficiary of any Letter
of Credit, or any other Person having a role in any transaction or obligation
relating to a Letter of Credit, or the existence, nature, quality, quantity,
condition, value or other characteristic of any property or services relating to
a Letter of Credit;
(viii)any failure by Issuer or any of Issuer’s Affiliates to issue any Letter of
Credit in the form requested by Borrowing Agent, unless Administrative Agent and
Issuer have each received written notice from Borrowing Agent of such failure
within three (3) Business Days after Issuer shall have furnished Administrative
Agent and Borrowing Agent a copy of such Letter of Credit and such error is
material and no drawing has been made thereon prior to receipt of such notice;
(ix)the occurrence of any Material Adverse Effect;
(x)any breach of this Agreement or any Other Document by any party thereto;
(xi)the occurrence or continuance of an insolvency proceeding with respect to
any Borrower or any Guarantor;
(xii)the fact that a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing;
(xiii)the fact that the Term shall have expired or this Agreement or the
obligations of Lenders to make Advances have been terminated; and
(xiv)any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to
any of the foregoing.
19.Liability for Acts and Omissions.
(a)As between Borrowers and Issuer, Swing Loan Lender, Administrative Agent and
Lenders, each Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse
of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of
Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Issuer shall not
be responsible for: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness
or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the
application for an issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in
fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate,
fraudulent or forged (even if Issuer or any of its Affiliates shall have been
notified thereof); (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument
transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of
Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in
part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) the
failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit, or any other party to
which such Letter of Credit may be transferred, to comply fully with any
conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit or any other
claim of any Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, or any
such transferee, or any dispute between or among any Borrower and any
beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee; (iv) errors,
omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages,
by mail, cable, facsimile, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher;
(v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the
transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing
under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the
misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds
of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising
from causes beyond the control of Issuer, including any Governmental Acts, and
none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of
Issuer’s rights or powers hereunder. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall
relieve Issuer from liability for Issuer’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final
non-appealable judgment) in connection with actions or omissions described in
such clauses (i) through (viii) of such sentence. In no event shall Issuer or
Issuer’s Affiliates be liable to any Borrower for any indirect, consequential,
incidental, punitive, exemplary or special damages or expenses (including
without limitation attorneys’ fees), or for any damages resulting from any
change in the value of any property relating to a Letter of Credit.
(b)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Issuer and each of its
Affiliates: (i) may rely on any oral or other communication believed in good
faith by Issuer or such Affiliate to have been authorized or given by or on
behalf of the applicant for a Letter of Credit; (ii) may honor any presentation
if the documents presented appear on their face substantially to comply with the
terms and conditions of the relevant Letter of Credit; (iii) may honor a
previously dishonored presentation under a Letter of Credit, whether such
dishonor was pursuant to a court order, to settle or compromise any claim of
wrongful dishonor, or otherwise, and shall be entitled to reimbursement to the
same extent as if such presentation had initially been honored, together with
any interest paid by Issuer or its Affiliates; (iv) may honor any drawing that
is payable upon presentation of a statement advising negotiation or payment,
upon receipt of such statement (even if such statement indicates that a draft or
other document is being delivered separately), and shall not be liable for any
failure of any such draft or other document to arrive, or to conform in any way
with the relevant Letter of Credit; (v) may pay any paying or negotiating bank
claiming that it rightfully honored under the laws or practices of the place
where such bank is located; and (vi) may settle or adjust any claim or demand
made on Issuer or its Affiliate in any way related to any order issued at the
applicant’s request to an air carrier, a letter of guarantee or of indemnity
issued to a steamship agent or carrier or any document or instrument of like
import (each an “Order”) and honor any drawing in connection with any Letter of
Credit that is the subject of such Order, notwithstanding that any drafts or
other documents presented in connection with such Letter of Credit fail to
conform in any way with such Letter of Credit.

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

(c)In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions
set forth above, any action taken or omitted by Issuer under or in connection
with the Letters of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates
delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith and without gross
negligence (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final
non-appealable judgment), shall not put Issuer under any resulting liability to
any Borrower, Administrative Agent or any Lender.
20.Mandatory Prepayments; Voluntary Reductions of Revolving Commitments.
(a)Subject to Section 7.1 hereof, when any Borrower sells or otherwise disposes
of any ABL First Lien Collateral other than Inventory in the Ordinary Course of
Business, (i) so long as no Trigger Period is then continuing, Borrowers shall
repay the outstanding Advances in an amount necessary to prevent a Trigger Event
and to maintain Borrowing Base compliance, or (ii) if a Trigger Event has
occurred and for so long as such Trigger Period is continuing, Borrowers shall
repay the Advances in an amount equal to the net cash proceeds of such sale
(i.e., gross cash proceeds less the reasonable direct costs of such sales or
other dispositions), such repayments to be made promptly but in no event more
than three (3) Business Days following receipt of such net proceeds, and until
the date of payment, such proceeds shall be held in trust for Administrative
Agent. The foregoing shall not be deemed to be implied consent to any such sale
otherwise prohibited by the terms and conditions hereof. Such repayments shall
be applied to the Advances (including cash collateralization of all Obligations
relating to any outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with the provisions
of Section 3.2(b); provided, however that if no Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, such repayments shall be applied to cash
collateralize any Obligations related to outstanding Letters of Credit last) in
such order as Administrative Agent may determine, subject to Borrowers’ ability
to reborrow Revolving Advances in accordance with the terms hereof.
(b)Subject to the applicable Intercreditor Agreement, if any Borrower or the
Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent receives cash proceeds (the
“Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds”) under any insurance policy on account of
damage or destruction of any ABL First Lien Collateral of any Borrower, or as a
result of any taking or condemnation of any ABL First Lien Collateral, then (i)
so long as no Trigger Period is then continuing, such proceeds shall be applied
to repay the Advances in an amount necessary to prevent a Trigger Event and to
maintain Borrowing Base compliance, or (ii) if a Trigger Event as occurred and
for so long as such Trigger Period is continuing, such proceeds shall be applied
to repay the Advances in an amount that equals the amount of such
Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds; provided, that, thereafter, in the absence of a
Default or Event of Default, such Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds shall be
applied last to the cash collateralization of Letters of Credit.
(c)So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and
no Trigger Period is continuing following a Trigger Event, Administrative Agent
shall release any cash collateral held by Administrative Agent pursuant to
clause (a) or (b) of this Section 2.20 promptly upon Borrowers’ demand therefor,
in accordance with Borrowers’ commercially reasonable instructions.
(d)Subject to Section 2.2(g) hereof, Borrowers may, at their option from time to
time, without premium or penalty, permanently reduce the aggregate Revolving
Commitments upon at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice to Administrative
Agent, which notice shall specify the amount of the reduction and shall be
irrevocable once given. Each reduction shall be in a minimum amount of
$5,000,000, or an increment of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.
(e)[Reserved].
21.Use of Proceeds.
(a)Borrowers shall apply the proceeds of Advances to (i) pay fees and expenses
relating to the Transactions and (ii) provide for its working capital needs,
finance general corporate purposes and reimburse drawings under Letters of
Credit.
(b)Without limiting the generality of Section 2.21(a) above, neither the
Borrowers, the Guarantors nor any other Person which may in the future become
party to this Agreement or the Other Documents as a Borrower or Guarantor,
intends to use nor shall they use any portion of the proceeds of the Advances,
directly or indirectly, for any purpose in violation of Applicable Law.
22.Defaulting Lender.
(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event any
Lender is a Defaulting Lender, all rights and obligations hereunder of such
Defaulting Lender and of the other parties hereto shall be modified to the
extent of the express provisions of this Section 2.22 so long as such Lender is
a Defaulting Lender.
(b)(i) Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Section 2.22,
Revolving Advances shall be made pro rata from Lenders holding Revolving
Commitments, which are not Defaulting Lenders based on their respective
Revolving Commitment Percentages, and no Revolving Commitment Percentage of any
Lender or any pro rata share of any Revolving Advances required to be advanced
by any Lender shall be increased as a result of any Lender being a Defaulting
Lender. Amounts received in respect of principal of any type of Revolving
Advances shall be applied to reduce such type of Revolving Advances of each
Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender) holding a Revolving Commitment in
accordance with their Revolving Commitment Percentages; provided, that,
Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender
any payments received by Administrative Agent for Defaulting Lender’s benefit,
nor shall a Defaulting Lender be entitled to the sharing of any payments
hereunder (including any principal, interest or fees). Amounts payable to a
Defaulting Lender shall instead be paid to or retained by Administrative Agent.
Administrative Agent may hold and, in its discretion, re-lend to a Borrower the
amount of such payments received or retained by it for the account of such
Defaulting Lender.
(i)Fees pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof shall cease to accrue in favor of such
Defaulting Lender.

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

(ii)If any Swing Loans are outstanding or any Letters of Credit (or drawings
under any Letter of Credit for which Issuer has not been reimbursed) are
outstanding or exist at the time any such Lender holding a Revolving Commitment
becomes a Defaulting Lender, then:
(A)     Defaulting Lender’s Participation Commitment in the outstanding Swing
Loans and of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit
shall be reallocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders holding Revolving Commitments
in proportion to the respective Revolving Commitment Percentages of such
Non-Defaulting Lenders to the extent (but only to the extent) that (x) such
reallocation does not cause the aggregate sum of outstanding Revolving Advances
made by any such Non-Defaulting Lender holding a Revolving Commitment plus such
Lender’s reallocated Participation Commitment in the outstanding Swing Loans
plus such Lender’s reallocated Participation Commitment in the aggregate Maximum
Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit to exceed the Revolving
Commitment Amount of any such Non-Defaulting Lender, and (y) no Default or Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing at such time;
(B)    if the reallocation described in clause (A) above cannot, or can only
partially, be effected, Borrowers shall within one (1) Business Day following
notice by Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay any outstanding Swing Loans
that cannot be reallocated, and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit
of Issuer, Borrowers’ obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s
Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit
(after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (A) above)
in accordance with Section 3.2(b) for so long as such Obligations are
outstanding;
(C)    if Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s
Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit
pursuant to clause (B) above, Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fees to
such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.2(a) with respect to such
Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of Maximum Undrawn Amount of
all Letters of Credit during the period such Defaulting Lender’s Participation
Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit are cash
collateralized;
(D)    if Defaulting Lender’s Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn
Amount of all Letters of Credit is reallocated pursuant to clause (A) above,
then the fees payable to Lenders holding Revolving Commitments pursuant to
Section 3.2(a) shall be adjusted and reallocated to Non-Defaulting Lenders
holding Revolving Commitments in accordance with such reallocation; and
(E)    if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Participation
Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit is neither
reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clauses (A) or (B) above, then,
without prejudice to any rights or remedies of Issuer or any other Lender
hereunder, all Letter of Credit Fees payable under Section 3.2(a) with respect
to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Maximum
Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit shall be payable to the Issuer (and not
to such Defaulting Lender) until (and then only to the extent that) such
Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit
is reallocated and/or cash collateralized.
(iii)So long as any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment is a Defaulting
Lender, Swing Loan Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Loans and
Issuer shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit,
unless such Issuer is satisfied that the related exposure and Defaulting
Lender’s Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters
of Credit and all Swing Loans (after giving effect to any such issuance,
amendment, increase or funding) will be fully allocated to Non-Defaulting
Lenders holding Revolving Commitments and/or cash collateral for such Letters of
Credit will be provided by Borrowers in accordance with clause (A) and (B)
above, and participating interests in any newly made Swing Loan or any newly
issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among Non-Defaulting
Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.22(b)(iii)(A) above (and such
Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).
(c)A Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to give instructions to
Administrative Agent or to approve, disapprove, consent to or vote on any
matters relating to this Agreement and the Other Documents, and all amendments,
waivers and other modifications of this Agreement and the Other Documents may be
made without regard to a Defaulting Lender and, for purposes of the definition
of “Required Lenders”, a Defaulting Lender shall not be deemed to be a Lender,
to have any outstanding Advances or a Revolving Commitment Percentage provided,
that this clause (c) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the
case of an amendment, waiver or other modification described in clauses (i) or
(ii) of Section 16.2(b).
(d)Other than as expressly set forth in this Section 2.22, the rights and
obligations of a Defaulting Lender (including the obligation to indemnify
Administrative Agent) and the other parties hereto shall remain unchanged.
Nothing in this Section 2.22 shall be deemed to release any Defaulting Lender
from its obligations under this Agreement and the Other Documents, shall alter
such obligations, shall operate as a waiver of any default by such Defaulting
Lender hereunder, or shall prejudice any rights which any Borrower,
Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against any Defaulting Lender as a
result of any default by such Defaulting Lender hereunder.

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

(e)In the event that Administrative Agent, Borrowers, Swing Loan Lender and
Issuer agree in writing that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all
matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then Administrative
Agent will so notify the parties hereto, and, if such cured Defaulting Lender is
a Lender holding a Revolving Commitment, then Participation Commitments of
Lenders holding Revolving Commitments (including such cured Defaulting Lender)
of the Swing Loans and Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of
Credit shall be reallocated to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving
Commitment, and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the
Revolving Advances of the other Lenders as Administrative Agent shall determine
may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Revolving Advances in
accordance with its Revolving Commitment Percentage.
(f)So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swing Loan Lender shall
not be required to fund any Swing Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have
no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swing Loan and (ii) no Issuer
shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit
unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving
effect thereto.
23.Payment of Obligations. Administrative Agent may charge to Borrowers’ Account
as a Revolving Advance or, at the discretion of Swing Loan Lender, as a Swing
Loan (i) all payments with respect to any of the Obligations required hereunder
(including without limitation principal payments, payments of interest, payments
of Letter of Credit Fees and all other fees provided for hereunder and payments
under Sections 16.5 and 16.9) as and when each such payment shall become due and
payable (whether as regularly scheduled, upon or after acceleration, upon
maturity or otherwise), (ii) without limiting the generality of the foregoing
clause (i), (a) all amounts expended by Administrative Agent or any Lender
pursuant to Sections 4.2 or 4.3 hereof and (b) all expenses which Administrative
Agent incurs in connection with the forwarding of Advance proceeds and the
establishment and maintenance of any Blocked Accounts or Depository Accounts as
provided for in Section 4.8(c) or Section 4.8(g), and (iii) any sums expended by
Administrative Agent or any Lender due to any Borrower’s failure to perform or
comply with its obligations under this Agreement or any Other Document including
any Borrower’s obligations under Sections 3.3, 3.4, 4.4, 4.7, 6.4, 6.6, 6.7 and
6.8 hereof, and all amounts so charged shall be added to the Obligations and
shall be secured by the Collateral. To the extent Revolving Advances are not
actually funded by the other Lenders in respect of any such amounts so charged,
all such amounts so charged shall be deemed to be Swing Loans made by and owing
to Administrative Agent and Administrative Agent shall be entitled to all rights
(including accrual of interest) and remedies of a Lender under this Agreement
and the Other Documents with respect to such Revolving Advances.

III.
INTEREST AND FEES.

1.Interest. Interest on Advances shall be payable in arrears on the first (1st)
day of each month with respect to Domestic Rate Loans and, with respect to LIBOR
Rate Loans, at the end of each Interest Period, provided that all accrued and
unpaid interest shall be due and payable at the end of the Term. Interest
charges shall be computed on the actual principal amount of Advances outstanding
during the month at a rate per annum equal to (i) with respect to Revolving
Advances, the Revolving Interest Rate and (ii) with respect to Swing Loans, the
Revolving Interest Rate for Domestic Rate Loans. Except as expressly provided
otherwise in this Agreement, any Obligations other than the Advances that are
not paid when due shall accrue interest at the Revolving Interest Rate for
Domestic Rate Loans, subject to the provision of the final sentence of this
Section 3.1 regarding the Default Rate. Whenever, subsequent to the date of this
Agreement, the Alternate Base Rate is increased or decreased, the Revolving
Interest Rate shall be similarly changed without notice or demand of any kind by
an amount equal to the amount of such change in the Alternate Base Rate during
the time such change or changes remain in effect. The LIBOR Rate shall be
adjusted with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans without notice or demand of any kind
on the effective date of any change in the Reserve Percentage as of such
effective date. Upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and during
the continuation thereof, at the option of Administrative Agent or at the
direction of Required Lenders (or, in the case of any Event of Default under
Section 10.7, immediately and automatically upon the occurrence of any such
Event of Default without the requirement of any affirmative action by any
party), the Obligations shall bear interest at the Revolving Interest Rate for
Domestic Rate Loans plus two percent (2%) per annum (the “Default Rate”).

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

2.Letter of Credit Fees.
(a)Borrowers shall pay (x) to Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of
Lenders holding Revolving Commitments, fees for each Letter of Credit for the
period from and excluding the date of issuance of same to and including the date
of expiration or termination, equal to the average daily face amount of each
outstanding Letter of Credit multiplied by the Applicable Margin for Revolving
Advances consisting of LIBOR Rate Loans, such fees to be calculated on the basis
of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed and to be payable
quarterly in arrears on the first (1st) day of each calendar quarter and on the
last day of the Term, and (y) to Issuer, a fronting fee of one quarter of one
percent (0.25%) per annum times the average daily face amount of each
outstanding Letter of Credit for the period from and excluding the date of
issuance of same to and including the date of expiration or termination, to be
payable quarterly in arrears on the first (1st) day of each calendar quarter and
on the last day of the Term (all of the foregoing fees, the “Letter of Credit
Fees”). In addition, Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the
benefit of Issuer, any and all administrative, issuance, amendment, payment and
negotiation charges with respect to Letters of Credit and all fees and expenses
as agreed upon by Issuer and the Borrowing Agent in connection with any Letter
of Credit, including in connection with the opening, amendment or renewal of any
such Letter of Credit and any acceptances created thereunder, all such charges,
fees and expenses, if any, to be payable on demand. All such charges shall be
deemed earned in full on the date when the same are due and payable hereunder
and shall not be subject to rebate or pro-ration upon the termination of this
Agreement for any reason. Any such charge in effect at the time of a particular
transaction shall be the charge for that transaction, notwithstanding any
subsequent change in Issuer’s prevailing charges for that type of transaction.
Upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and during the
continuation thereof, at the option of Administrative Agent or at the direction
of Required Lenders (or, in the case of any Event of Default under Section 10.7,
immediately and automatically upon the occurrence of any such Event of Default
without the requirement of any affirmative action by any party), the Letter of
Credit Fees described in clause (x) of this Section 3.2(a) shall be increased by
an additional two percent (2.0%) per annum.
(b)At the option of Administrative Agent or at the direction of Required Lenders
upon the occurrence and during the continuance of the Event of Default (or, in
the case of any Event of Default under Section 10.7, immediately and
automatically upon the occurrence of such Event of Default, without the
requirement of any affirmative action by any party), or upon the expiration of
the Term or any other termination of this Agreement (and also, if applicable, in
connection with any mandatory prepayment under Section 2.20), Borrowers will
cause cash to be deposited and maintained in an account with Collateral Agent,
as cash collateral, in an amount equal to one hundred and five percent (105%) of
the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, and each
Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Administrative Agent, in its discretion,
on such Borrower’s behalf and in such Borrower’s name, to open such an account
and to make and maintain deposits therein, or in an account opened by such
Borrower, in the amounts required to be made by such Borrower, out of the
proceeds of Receivables or other Collateral or out of any other funds of such
Borrower coming into any Lender’s possession at any time. Collateral Agent may,
in its discretion, invest such cash collateral (less applicable reserves) in
such short-term money-market items as to which Collateral Agent and such
Borrower mutually agree (or, in the absence of such agreement, as Collateral
Agent may reasonably select) and the net return on such investments shall be
credited to such account and constitute additional cash collateral, or
Collateral Agent may (notwithstanding the foregoing) establish the account
provided for under this Section 3.2(b) as a non-interest bearing account and in
such case Collateral Agent shall have no obligation (and Borrowers hereby waive
any claim) under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code or under any other
Applicable Law to pay interest on such cash collateral being held by Collateral
Agent. No Borrower may withdraw amounts credited to any such account except upon
the occurrence of all of the following: (x) payment and performance in full of
all Obligations; (y) expiration of all Letters of Credit; and (z) termination of
this Agreement. Borrowers hereby assign, pledge and grant to Collateral Agent,
for its benefit and the ratable benefit of Issuer, Lenders and each other
Secured Party, a continuing security interest in and to and Lien on any such
cash collateral and any right, title and interest of Borrowers in any deposit
account, securities account or investment account into which such cash
collateral may be deposited from time to time to secure the Obligations,
specifically including all Obligations with respect to any Letters of Credit.
Borrowers agree that upon the coming due of any Reimbursement Obligations (or
any other Obligations, including Obligations for Letter of Credit Fees) with
respect to the Letters of Credit, Collateral Agent may use such cash collateral
to pay and satisfy such Obligations.
3.Facility Fee. If, for any calendar quarter during the Term, the average daily
unpaid balance of the sum of Revolving Advances (for purposes of this
computation, Swing Loans shall be deemed to be Revolving Advances made by PNC as
a Lender) plus Swing Loans plus the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding
Letters of Credit for each day of such calendar quarter does not equal the
Maximum Borrowing and L/C Amount, then Borrowers shall pay to Administrative
Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments
based on their Revolving Commitment Percentages, a fee at a rate equal to
one-half of one percent (0.50%) per annum on the amount by which the Maximum
Borrowing and L/C Amount exceeds such average daily unpaid balance (the
“Facility Fee”). Such Facility Fee shall be payable to Administrative Agent in
arrears on the first (1st) day of each calendar quarter with respect to the
previous calendar quarter and shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year
for the actual number of days elapsed.
4.Fee Letter.
(a)Borrowers shall pay the amounts required to be paid in the Fee Letter in the
manner and at the times required by the Fee Letter.
(b)All of the fees and out-of-pocket costs and expenses of any appraisals
conducted pursuant to Section 4.7 hereof shall be paid for when due, in full and
without deduction, off-set or counterclaim by Borrowers.

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

5.Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest and fees hereunder shall be
computed on the basis of a year of (a) for LIBOR Rate Loans, 360 days and for
the actual number of days elapsed, and (b) for Base Rate Loans, 365 or 366 days,
as applicable, and for the actual number of days elapsed. If any payment to be
made hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the
due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and
interest thereon shall be payable at the Revolving Interest Rate for Domestic
Rate Loans during such extension.
6.Maximum Charges. In no event whatsoever shall interest and other charges
charged hereunder exceed the highest rate permissible under Applicable Law. In
the event interest and other charges as computed hereunder would otherwise
exceed the highest rate permitted under Applicable Law: (i) the interest rates
hereunder will be reduced to the maximum rate permitted under Applicable Law;
(ii) such excess amount shall be first applied to any unpaid principal balance
owed by Borrowers; and (iii) if the then remaining excess amount is greater than
the previously unpaid principal balance, Lenders shall promptly refund such
excess amount to Borrowers and the provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to
provide for such permissible rate.
7.Increased Costs. In the event that any Applicable Law or any Change in Law or
compliance by any Lender (for purposes of this Section 3.7, the term “Lender”
shall include Administrative Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Issuer or Lender and
any corporation or bank controlling Administrative Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any
Lender or Issuer and the office or branch where Administrative Agent, Swing Loan
Lender, any Lender or Issuer (as so defined) makes or maintains any LIBOR Rate
Loans) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law)
from any central bank or other financial, monetary or other authority, shall:
(a)subject Administrative Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer to any
tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit,
any participation in a Letter of Credit or any LIBOR Rate Loan, or change the
basis of taxation of payments to Administrative Agent, Swing Loan Lender, such
Lender or Issuer in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
covered by Section 3.11 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any
Excluded Tax payable by or to Administrative Agent, Swing Loan Lender, such
Lender or the Issuer);
(b)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, assessment,
special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement
against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, advances or loans
by, or other credit extended by, any office of Administrative Agent, Swing Loan
Lender, Issuer or any Lender, including pursuant to Regulation D of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System; or
(c)impose on Administrative Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer or
the London interbank LIBOR market any other condition, loss or expense (other
than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or any Other Document or any Advance made
by any Lender, or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Administrative
Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer of making, converting to,
continuing, renewing or maintaining its Advances hereunder by an amount that
Administrative Agent, Swing Loan Lender, such Lender or Issuer deems to be
material or to reduce the amount of any payment (whether of principal, interest
or otherwise) in respect of any of the Advances by an amount that Administrative
Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender or Issuer deems to be material, then, in
any case Borrowers shall promptly pay Administrative Agent, Swing Loan Lender,
such Lender or Issuer, upon its demand, such additional amount as will
compensate Administrative Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender or Issuer for
such additional cost or such reduction, as the case may be. Administrative
Agent, Swing Loan Lender, such Lender or Issuer shall certify the amount of such
additional cost or reduced amount to Borrowing Agent, and such certification
shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
8.Basis For Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair. In the event that
Administrative Agent or any Lender shall have determined that:
(a)reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for any
Interest Period; or
(b)Dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the relevant maturity are not
available in the London interbank LIBOR market, with respect to an outstanding
LIBOR Rate Loan, a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan, or a proposed conversion of a
Domestic Rate Loan into a LIBOR Rate Loan; or
(c)the making, maintenance or funding of any LIBOR Rate Loan has been made
impracticable or unlawful by compliance by Administrative Agent or such Lender
in good faith with any Applicable Law or any interpretation or application
thereof by any Governmental Body or with any request or directive of any such
Governmental Body (whether or not having the force of law),

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

then Administrative Agent shall give Borrowing Agent prompt written or
telephonic notice of such determination. If such notice is given, (i) any such
requested LIBOR Rate Loan shall be made as a Domestic Rate Loan, unless
Borrowing Agent shall notify Administrative Agent no later than 1:00 p.m. two
(2) Business Days prior to the date of such proposed borrowing, that its request
for such borrowing shall be cancelled or made as an unaffected type of LIBOR
Rate Loan, (ii) any Domestic Rate Loan or LIBOR Rate Loan which was to have been
converted to an affected type of LIBOR Rate Loan shall be continued as or
converted into a Domestic Rate Loan, or, if Borrowing Agent shall notify
Administrative Agent, no later than 1:00 p.m. two (2) Business Days prior to the
proposed conversion, shall be maintained as an unaffected type of LIBOR Rate
Loan, and (iii) any outstanding affected LIBOR Rate Loans shall be converted
into a Domestic Rate Loan, or, if Borrowing Agent shall notify Administrative
Agent, no later than 1:00 p.m. two (2) Business Days prior to the last Business
Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such affected LIBOR Rate
Loan, shall be converted into an unaffected type of LIBOR Rate Loan, on the last
Business Day of the then current Interest Period for such affected LIBOR Rate
Loans (or sooner, if any Lender cannot continue to lawfully maintain such
affected LIBOR Rate Loan). Until such notice has been withdrawn, Lenders shall
have no obligation to make an affected type of LIBOR Rate Loan or maintain
outstanding affected LIBOR Rate Loans and no Borrower shall have the right to
convert a Domestic Rate Loan or an unaffected type of LIBOR Rate Loan into an
affected type of LIBOR Rate Loan.
9.Capital Adequacy.
(a)In the event that Administrative Agent, Swing Loan Lender or any Lender shall
have determined that any Applicable Law or guideline regarding capital adequacy,
or any Change in Law or any change in the interpretation or administration
thereof by any Governmental Body, central bank or comparable agency charged with
the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Administrative
Agent, Swing Loan Lender, Issuer or any Lender (for purposes of this Section
3.9, the term “Lender” shall include Administrative Agent, Swing Loan Lender,
Issuer or any Lender and any corporation or bank controlling Administrative
Agent, Swing Loan Lender or any Lender and the office or branch where
Administrative Agent, Swing Loan Lender or any Lender (as so defined) makes or
maintains any LIBOR Rate Loans) with any request or directive regarding capital
adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central
bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of
return on Administrative Agent, Swing Loan Lender or any Lender’s capital as a
consequence of its obligations hereunder (including the making of any Swing
Loans) to a level below that which Administrative Agent, Swing Loan Lender or
such Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance
(taking into consideration Administrative Agent’s, Swing Loan Lender’s and each
Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by
Administrative Agent, Swing Loan Lender or any Lender to be material, then, from
time to time, Borrowers shall pay upon demand to Administrative Agent, Swing
Loan Lender or such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate
Administrative Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender for such reduction. In
determining such amount or amounts, Administrative Agent, Swing Loan Lender or
such Lender may use any reasonable averaging or attribution methods. The
protection of this Section 3.9 shall be available to Administrative Agent, Swing
Loan Lender and each Lender regardless of any possible contention of invalidity
or inapplicability with respect to the Applicable Law, rule, regulation,
guideline or condition.
(b)A certificate of Administrative Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender
setting forth such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate
Administrative Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender with respect to Section
3.9(a) hereof when delivered to Borrowing Agent shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.
10.Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuer or
other Recipient to demand compensation pursuant to Section 3.7 or 3.9 shall not
constitute a waiver of such Recipient’s right to demand such compensation;
provided, that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or
Issuer pursuant to Section 3.7 or 3.9 for any increased costs incurred or
reductions suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such
Recipient notifies Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased
costs or reductions, and of such Recipient’s intention to claim compensation
therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs
or reductions is retroactive, then the nine (9) month period referred to above
shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
11.Taxes.
(a)Any and all payments by or on account of any Obligations hereunder or under
any Other Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or
withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, except as required by
Applicable Law; provided, that if a Withholding Agent shall be required by
Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the applicable
Withholding Agent) to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes)
from such payments, then (i) the sum payable by the Borrowers shall be increased
as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions
applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative
Agent, Swing Loan Lender, Lender, Issuer or Participant, as the case may be,
receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deductions been made, (ii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall make such
deductions and (iii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall timely pay the full
amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Body in accordance with Applicable
Law.
(b)Without limiting the provisions of Section 3.11(a) above, Borrowers shall
timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Body in accordance with
Applicable Law.

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

(c)The Borrowers shall jointly and severally indemnify Administrative Agent,
Swing Loan Lender, each Lender, Issuer and any Participant, within ten (10) days
after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or
attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by
Administrative Agent, Swing Loan Lender, such Lender, Issuer, or such
Participant, as the case may be, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom
or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Body.
A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to
Borrowers by any Lender, Swing Loan Lender, Participant, or Issuer (with a copy
to Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on
behalf of Swing Loan Lender, a Lender or Issuer, shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.
(d)As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Borrower to a
Governmental Body, Borrowers shall deliver to Administrative Agent the original
or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Body evidencing
such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of
such payment reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.
(e)Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding
Tax with respect to payments made under this Agreement or under any Other
Document shall deliver to Borrowers (and to Administrative Agent and Syndication
Agent), at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably
requested by Borrowers, Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent, such properly
completed and executed documentation prescribed by Applicable Law as will permit
such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of
withholding. Notwithstanding the submission of such documentation claiming a
reduced rate of or exemption from U.S. withholding Tax, Administrative Agent and
Syndication Agent shall be entitled to withhold United States federal income
Taxes at the full withholding rate if in their reasonable judgment they are
required to do so under the due diligence requirements imposed upon a
withholding agent under § 1.1441-7(b) of the United States Income Tax
Regulations or other Applicable Law. Further, Administrative Agent and
Syndication Agent are indemnified under § 1.1461-1(e) of the United States
Income Tax Regulations against any claims and demands of any Lender, Issuer or
assignee or participant of a Lender or Issuer for the amount of any Tax it
deducts and withholds in accordance with regulations under § 1441 of the Code.
In addition, any Lender, if requested by Borrowers, Administrative Agent or
Syndication Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by
Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers, Administrative Agent or
Syndication Agent as will enable Borrowers, Administrative Agent or Syndication
Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding
or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Section 3.11(e) or in Section 3.11(f), the completion, execution and
submission of any documentation (other than such documentation set forth in
Section 3.11(e)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (vi)) shall not be required if in the
Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would
subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would
materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that any Borrower is
resident for Tax purposes in the United States of America, any Lender shall
deliver to Borrowers, Administrative Agent and Syndication Agent (in such number
of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on
which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time
thereafter upon the request of Borrowers, Administrative Agent or Syndication
Agent, but only if such Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the
following is applicable:
(i)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming eligibility for benefits of an
income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party, (x) with
respect to payments of interest under this Agreement or any Other Document, two
(2) duly completed valid originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as
applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal
withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and
(y) with respect to other applicable payments under this Agreement or any Other
Document, two (2) duly completed valid originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E,
as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal
withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of
such tax treaty,
(ii)two (2) duly completed valid originals of IRS Form W-8ECI,
(iii)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for
portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the
effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of
section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrowers
within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled
foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) two
(2) duly completed valid originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as
applicable,
(iv)to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner,     two (2) duly
completed valid originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI,
IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, the certification provided in
Section 3.11(e)(iii)(x) above, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification
documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the
Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of
such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption under Section
881(c) of the Code, such Foreign Lender may provide the certification provided
in Section 3.11(e)(iii)(x) above on behalf of each such direct and indirect
partner,
(v)any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption
from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed
together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by
Applicable Law to permit the Borrowers to determine the withholding or deduction
required to be made, or

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

(vi)To the extent that any Lender is not a Foreign Lender, two (2) originals of
an IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is not a Foreign Lender.
(f)If a payment made to a Lender, Swing Loan Lender, Participant, Issuer,
Collateral Agent, Syndication Agent or Administrative Agent under this Agreement
or any Other Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed
by FATCA if such Person fails to comply with the applicable reporting
requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b)
of the Code, as applicable), such Lender, Swing Loan Lender, Participant,
Issuer, Collateral Agent, Syndication Agent or Administrative Agent shall
deliver to Administrative Agent and Syndication Agent (in the case of Swing Loan
Lender, a Lender, Participant, Administrative Agent or Issuer) and Borrowers
such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by
Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such other documentation reasonably
requested by Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent or any Borrower
sufficient for Administrative Agent, Syndication Agent and Borrowers to comply
with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that Swing Loan Lender, such
Lender, Participant, Issuer, or Administrative Agent has complied with their
obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from
such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (f), “FATCA” shall include any
amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(g)Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered
expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such
form or certification or promptly notify the Borrowers, Administrative Agent and
Syndication Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(h)If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that
it has received a refund of any taxes as to which it has been indemnified
pursuant to this Section 3.11 (including by the payment of additional amounts
pursuant to this Section 3.11), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount
equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under
this Section 3.11 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of
all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and
without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Body
with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such
indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over
pursuant to this clause (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges
imposed by the relevant Governmental Body) in the event that such indemnified
party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Body.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause (h), in no event will
the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party
pursuant to this clause (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified
party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party
would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such
refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the
indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had
never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any
indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information
relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or
any other Person.
(i)Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.11 shall survive the
resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights
by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Obligations and the
repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under this Agreement or
any Other Document.
(j)For purposes of this Section 3.11, the term “Lender” includes Swing Loan
Lender and any Issuer and the term “Applicable Law” includes FATCA. Further,
Administrative Agent shall be required to comply with Sections 3.11(e) through
(g) in the same manner as if the term “Lender” included Administrative Agent.
12.Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender (an “Affected Lender”) (a) makes demand
upon Borrowers for (or if Borrowers are otherwise required to pay) amounts
pursuant to Section 3.7, 3.9 or 3.11 hereof, (b) is unable to make or maintain
LIBOR Rate Loans as a result of a condition described in Section 2.2(h) hereof,
(c) is a Defaulting Lender, or (d) denies any consent requested by
Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 16.2(b) hereof, Borrowers may, within
ninety (90) days of receipt of such demand, notice (or the occurrence of such
other event causing Borrowers to be required to pay such compensation or causing
Section 2.2(h) hereof to be applicable), or such Lender becoming a Defaulting
Lender or denial of a request by Administrative Agent pursuant to Section
16.2(b) hereof, as the case may be, by notice in writing to Administrative Agent
and such Affected Lender (i) request the Affected Lender to cooperate with
Borrowers in obtaining a replacement Lender satisfactory to Administrative Agent
and Borrowers (the “Replacement Lender”); (ii) request the non-Affected Lenders
to acquire and assume all of the Affected Lender’s Advances and its Revolving
Commitment Percentage as provided herein, but none of such Lenders shall be
under any obligation to do so; or (iii) propose a Replacement Lender subject to
approval by Administrative Agent in its good faith business judgment. If any
satisfactory Replacement Lender shall be obtained, and/or if any one or more of
the non-Affected Lenders shall agree to acquire and assume all of the Affected
Lender’s Advances and its Revolving Commitment Percentage, then such Affected
Lender shall assign, in accordance with Section 16.3 hereof, all of its Advances
and its Revolving Commitment Percentage and other rights and obligations under
this Loan Agreement and the Other Documents to such Replacement Lender or
non-Affected Lenders, as the case may be, in exchange for payment of the
principal amount so assigned and all interest and fees accrued on the amount so
assigned, plus all other Obligations then due and payable to the Affected
Lender.

as Administrative Agent and Syndication Agent shall elect in their sole
discretion, each Agent and each Lender shall have full access to and the right
to audit, check, inspect and make abstracts and copies from each Borrower’s
books, records, audits, correspondence and all other papers relating to the
Collateral and the operation of each Borrower’s business. Each Agent and their
respective agents may enter upon any premises of any Borrower, with reasonable
prior notice, at any time during business hours and at any other reasonable
time, and from time to time as often as such Agent shall elect in their sole
discretion, for the purpose of inspecting the Collateral and any and all records
pertaining thereto and the operation of such Borrower’s business.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Trigger Event has occurred and
Trigger Period is continuing, the Agents collectively shall conduct no more than
two (2) such inspections per annum at Borrowers’ expense; provided, that, (a) in
no event shall Borrowers be obligated to pay more than $45,000 (as may be
increased pursuant to regular annual increases) per inspection in respect of
such inspections conducted while no Event of Default exists, and (b) the Agents,
in their Permitted Discretion, may conduct additional inspections at Borrowers’
expense, without giving effect to the preceding clause (a), at any time after
the occurrence of a Trigger Event and the continuance of the Trigger Period.
7.Appraisals. Administrative Agent and Syndication Agent may, in their Permitted
Discretion, at any time after the Closing Date and from time to time, engage at
Borrowers’ expense the services of an independent appraisal firm or firms of
reputable standing, satisfactory to Administrative Agent and Syndication Agent,
for the purpose of appraising the then current values of Borrowers’ Inventory.
Absent the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default at such time,
Administrative Agent and Syndication Agent shall consult with Borrowers as to
the identity of any such firm and no more than one (1) such appraisal of the
Borrowers’ Inventory (which shall be a full appraisal) shall be conducted per
annum; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Collateral Agent, the
Administrative and Syndication Agent, in their Permitted Discretion, may cause
to be conducted additional appraisals if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing at such time. In the event the value of Borrowers’ Inventory, as so
determined pursuant to such appraisal, is less than anticipated by Collateral
Agent, Administrative Agent and Syndication Agent, such that the Revolving
Advances are in excess of such Advances permitted hereunder, then, promptly upon
Administrative Agent’s demand for same, Borrowers shall make mandatory
prepayments of the then outstanding Revolving Advances so as to eliminate the
excess Advances.
8.Receivables; Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts.
(a)Each of the Receivables reflected in any Borrowing Base Certificate or other
accounts receivable schedule delivered by Borrowers to Administrative Agent and
Syndication Agent shall be a bona fide and valid account representing a bona
fide indebtedness incurred by the applicable Customer, for a fixed sum as set
forth in the invoice relating thereto (provided immaterial or unintentional
invoice errors shall not be deemed to be a breach hereof) with respect to an
absolute sale or lease and delivery of goods upon stated terms of a Borrower, or
work, labor or services theretofore rendered by a Borrower as of the date each
Receivable is created. The same shall be due and owing in accordance with the
applicable Borrower’s standard terms of sale without dispute, setoff or
counterclaim except as may be stated on the accounts receivable schedules
delivered by Borrowers to Administrative Agent and Syndication Agent.
(b)Each Customer, to the best of each Borrower’s knowledge, as of the date each
Receivable is created, is and will be solvent and able to pay all Receivables on
which the Customer is obligated in full when due. With respect to such Customers
of any Borrower who are not solvent, such Borrower has set up on its books and
in its financial records bad debt reserves adequate to cover such Receivables.
(c)Borrowers shall instruct their Customers to deliver all remittances upon
Receivables (whether paid by check or by wire transfer of funds) to either (i) a
lockbox account, dominion account or such other “blocked account” (“Blocked
Accounts”) established at a bank or banks (each such bank, a “Blocked Account
Bank”) pursuant to an arrangement with such Blocked Account Bank as may be
acceptable to Administrative Agent or (ii) depository accounts (“Depository
Accounts”) established at Administrative Agent, or as otherwise agreed to from
time to time by Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the
extent any Borrower directly receives any remittances upon Receivables, such
Borrower shall, at such Borrower’s sole cost and expense, as soon as possible
and in any event no later than five (5) Business Days after the receipt thereof
(i) in the case of remittances paid by check, deposit all such remittances in
their original form (after supplying any necessary endorsements) and (ii) in the
case of remittances paid by wire transfer of funds, transfer all such
remittances, in each case, into such Blocked Accounts(s) and/or Depository
Account(s).
(d)At any time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default or upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event and during the continuance of
the Trigger Period, Collateral Agent shall have the right to send notice of the
assignment of, and Collateral Agent’s security interest in and Lien on, the
Receivables to any and all Customers or any third party holding or otherwise
concerned with any of the Collateral. Thereafter, Collateral Agent shall have
the sole right to collect the Receivables, take possession of the Collateral, or
both. Collateral Agent’s actual collection expenses, including, but not limited
to, stationery and postage, telephone, facsimile, telegraph, secretarial and
clerical expenses and the salaries of any collection personnel used for
collection, may be charged to Borrowers’ Account and added to the Obligations.

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

(e)Collateral Agent shall have the right to receive, endorse, assign and/or
deliver in the name of Administrative Agent or any Borrower any and all checks,
drafts and other instruments for the payment of money relating to the
Receivables, and each Borrower hereby waives notice of presentment, protest and
non-payment of any instrument so endorsed. Each Borrower hereby constitutes
Collateral Agent or Collateral Agent’s designee as such Borrower’s
attorney-in-fact with power at any time: (A) to endorse such Borrower’s name
upon any notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of
payment or Collateral; (B) to sign such Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill
of lading relating to any of the Receivables, drafts against Customers,
assignments and verifications of Receivables; (C) to send verifications of
Receivables to any Customer; (D) to sign such Borrower’s name on all financing
statements or any other documents or instruments reasonably deemed necessary or
appropriate by Administrative Agent to preserve, protect, or perfect the Agents’
interest in the Collateral and to file same; and (E) to receive, open and
provide to Borrowing Agent all mail (other than notes, acceptances, checks,
drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment or Collateral) addressed to
any Borrower at any post office box/lockbox maintained by Administrative Agent
for Borrowers or at any other business premises of Administrative Agent. At any
time following the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, each Borrower
hereby appoints Collateral Agent as such Borrower’s attorney-in-fact with power
at any time: (A) to demand payment of the Receivables; (B) to enforce payment of
the Receivables by legal proceedings or otherwise; (C) to exercise all of such
Borrower’s rights and remedies with respect to the collection of the Receivables
and any other Collateral; (D) to sue upon or otherwise collect, extend the time
of payment of, settle, adjust, compromise, extend or renew the Receivables; (E)
to settle, adjust or compromise any legal proceedings brought to collect
Receivables; (F) to prepare, file and sign such Borrower’s name on a proof of
claim in bankruptcy or similar document against any Customer; (G) to prepare,
file and sign such Borrower’s name on any notice of Lien, assignment or
satisfaction of Lien or similar document in connection with the Receivables; (H)
to accept the return of goods represented by any of the Receivables; (I) to
change the address for delivery of mail addressed to any Borrower to such
address as Administrative Agent may designate; and (J) to do all other acts and
things necessary to carry out this Agreement. All acts of said attorney-in-fact
or designee are hereby ratified and approved, and said attorney-in-fact or
designee shall not be liable for any acts of omission or commission nor for any
error of judgment or mistake of fact or of law, unless done maliciously or with
gross (not mere) negligence (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
in a final non-appealable judgment); this power being coupled with an interest
is irrevocable while any of the Obligations remain unpaid.
(f)No Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability for any error or omission or
delay of any kind occurring in the settlement, collection or payment of any of
the Receivables or any instrument received in payment thereof, or for any damage
resulting therefrom, except to the extent that any of the foregoing arises out
of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent or such Lender, as
applicable (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and
non-appealable judgment).
(g)Each applicable Borrower, Collateral Agent (on behalf of Administrative
Agent, Syndication Agent and the Lenders) and each Blocked Account Bank shall
enter into a deposit account control agreement in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent that is sufficient to
give Collateral Agent “control” (for purposes of Articles 8 and 9 of the Uniform
Commercial Code) over all accounts of the Loan Parties other than Excluded Bank
Accounts. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the deposit
account control agreements described in the foregoing sentence shall provide
that unless a Trigger Event shall have occurred and the Trigger Period shall be
continuing, the applicable Borrower shall have the authority to instruct the
applicable Blocked Account Bank with respect to such accounts. Subject to the
terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, all funds deposited in such Blocked
Accounts or Depository Accounts shall immediately become subject to the security
interest of Collateral Agent for its own benefit and the ratable benefit of the
Secured Parties. Neither Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent nor any Lender
assumes any responsibility for such blocked account arrangement, including any
claim of accord and satisfaction or release with respect to deposits accepted by
any Blocked Account Bank thereunder. Following the occurrence of a Trigger Event
and during the continuance of a Trigger Period, Administrative Agent and
Collateral Agent may, subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, apply
all funds received by it from the Blocked Accounts and/or Depository Accounts to
the repayment of Advances (excluding, so long as no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, cash collateralization of Letters of Credit) in such
order as Administrative Agent shall determine in its sole discretion, provided
that, in the absence of any Event of Default, Administrative Agent and
Collateral Agent shall apply all such funds representing collection of
Receivables first to the prepayment of the principal amount of the Swing Loans,
if any, and then to the Revolving Advances.
(h)No Borrower will, without Administrative Agent’s consent, compromise or
adjust any Receivables (or extend the time for payment thereof) or accept any
returns of merchandise or grant any additional discounts, allowances or credits
thereon except for those compromises, adjustments, returns, discounts, credits
and allowances as have been heretofore customary in the Ordinary Course of
Business of such Borrower.

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

9.Chattel Paper. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.04(a) and 3.06(b)
of the Security Agreement, so long as no Trigger Event has occurred and is
continuing, (i) the Borrowers’ shall not be required to specifically list on
Schedule 3.04(a) to the Security Agreement the chattel paper comprised of leases
entered into from time to time in the ordinary course of business by Protection
(the “Protection Chattel Paper”) or other chattel paper generated in the
ordinary course of Borrowers’ business with an aggregate outstanding principal
balance of less than $500,000 (the “De Minimus Chattel Paper”), and for purposes
of the representations made in such Section 3.04(a)(i), such Schedule 3.04(a)
shall be deemed to include such Protection Chattel Paper and De Minimus Chattel
Paper, and (ii) the Borrowers’ shall not be required to deliver such Protection
Chattel Paper or De Minimus Chattel Paper to the Collateral Agent, and the
representations made in Section 3.04(a)(ii) shall be deemed to have an exception
for the Protection Chattel Paper and De Minimus Chattel Paper.

by any Loan Party and which is either registered or the subject of a pending
application to register with the appropriate Governmental Body: (i) is set forth
on Schedule 5.9; (ii) is valid; and (iii) when combined with the Intellectual
Property utilized but not owned by any Loan Party, constitutes all of the

writing from time to time pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. All
Intellectual Property owned or used by any Loan Party consists of original
material or property developed by or on behalf of such Loan Party or was
lawfully acquired by such Loan Party from the proper and lawful owner or
licensor thereof. Each of such items has been maintained so as to preserve the
value thereof from the date of creation or acquisition thereof.
10.Licenses and Permits. Except as set forth in Schedule 5.10, each Loan Party
has procured and is now in possession of, and is in compliance with all material
licenses or permits required by any applicable federal, state or local Law for
the operation of its business in each jurisdiction wherein it is now conducting
or proposes to conduct business and where the failure to procure such licenses
or permits or to be in compliance therewith could reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect.
11.Default of Indebtedness. Except as set forth in Schedule 5.11, no Loan Party
is in default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Material
Indebtedness or under any instrument or agreement under or subject to which any
Material Indebtedness has been issued and no event has occurred under the
provisions of any such instrument or agreement which with or without the lapse
of time or the giving of notice, or both, constitutes or would constitute an
event of default thereunder.

of its contractual obligations, which default could reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect, and no Default or Event of Default has occurred.

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

13.No Burdensome Restrictions. No Loan Party is party to any contract or
agreement the performance of which could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. Each Loan Party has heretofore delivered to
Administrative Agent true and complete copies of all Material Contracts to which
it is a party or to which it or any of its properties is subject as of the

whether now owned or hereafter acquired, to be subject to a Lien which is not a
Permitted Encumbrance.
14.No Labor Disputes. Except as, individually or in the aggregate, could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, no Loan Party is

and no labor contract is scheduled to expire during the Term other than as set

or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for
the purpose of “purchasing” or “carrying” any “margin stock” within the
respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation U of the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as now and from time to time
hereafter in effect. No part of the proceeds of any Advance will be used for
“purchasing” or “carrying” “margin stock” as defined in Regulation U of such
Board of Governors.
16.Investment Company Act. No Loan Party is an “investment company” registered
or required to be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended, nor is it controlled by such a company.
17.Disclosure. No report, financial statement, certificate or other written
information furnished by or on behalf of any Loan Party to any Agent or any
Lender (other than projections and other forward-looking information and
information of a general economic or industry-specific nature) in connection
with the transactions contemplated hereby and the negotiation of this Agreement
or delivered hereunder or any Other Document (as modified or supplemented by
other information so furnished) contained when furnished any material
misstatement of fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made
or furnished, not materially misleading. Projected financial information and pro
forma financial information delivered by or on behalf of any Loan Party to any
Agent or any Lender prior to the Restatement Effective Date was prepared in good
faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time of
preparation; it being understood that such projections are subject to
significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the
control of the Loan Parties and may vary from actual results and that such
variances may be material. There is no fact known to any Loan Party or which
reasonably should be known to such Loan Party which such Loan Party has not
disclosed to the Administrative Agent in writing with respect to the
Transactions which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS.

Each Loan Party shall, until payment in full of the Obligations and termination
of this Agreement:
 
1.Compliance with Laws. Comply with all Applicable Laws with respect to the
Collateral or any part thereof or to the operation of such Loan Party’s
business, to the extent the failure so to comply could reasonably be expected to

this Agreement shall expressly require compliance with any particular Applicable
Law(s) pursuant to another standard).
2.Conduct of Business and Maintenance of Existence and Assets. (a) Conduct
continuously and operate actively its business according to good business
practices in all material respects and maintain all of its properties useful or

respects (reasonable wear and tear excepted and except as may be disposed of in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Other Documents), and take
all actions necessary to enforce and protect the validity of any intellectual
property right or other right included in the Collateral, except to the extent
that the Loan Parties determine in their good faith business judgment that the
preservation or protection of such intellectual property rights are not material
to the business of the Loan Parties; (b) keep in full force and effect its
existence and comply with the laws and regulations governing the conduct of its
business where the failure to do so could reasonably be expected to have a

Charges lawfully levied or assessed upon such Loan Party or any of the
Collateral, including real and personal property taxes, assessments and charges
and all franchise, income, employment, social security benefits, withholding,
and sales Taxes, except to the extent that the same are being Properly
Contested. If any material Tax by any Governmental Body is or may be imposed on
or as a result of any transaction between any Loan Party and Administrative
Agent or any Lender which Administrative Agent or any Lender may be required to
withhold or pay or if any Taxes, assessments, or other Charges remain unpaid
after the date fixed for their payment, or if any claim shall be made which, in
Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s reasonable opinion, may possibly create a
valid Lien on the Collateral, Administrative Agent may without notice to Loan
Parties pay the Taxes, assessments or other Charges and each Loan Party hereby
indemnifies and holds Administrative Agent and each Lender harmless in respect
thereof; provided, that Administrative Agent shall not be entitled to do so if
such Tax is being Properly Contested. If the Loan Parties do not indemnify and
reimburse the Administrative Agent for any Taxes, assessments and other Charges
paid pursuant to this Section 6.4 within a reasonable amount of time (but in no
event more than three (3) Business Days) after such payment, the amount of such

the end of each fiscal quarter, a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of not less than
1.00 to 1.00, in each case for the four (4) preceding fiscal quarters most
recently ended.
(b)[Reserved].
(c)[Reserved].
6.Insurance.
(a)(i) Keep all its insurable properties and properties in which such Loan Party

similar to such Loan Party’s; (ii) maintain insurance in such amounts as is
customary in the case of companies engaged in businesses similar to such Loan
Party insuring against larceny, embezzlement or other criminal misappropriation
of insured’s officers and employees who may either singly or jointly with others
at any time have access to the assets or funds of such Loan Party either
directly or through authority to draw upon such funds or to direct generally the
disposition of such assets; (iii) maintain public and product liability
insurance against claims for personal injury, death or property damage suffered
by others; (iv) maintain all such worker’s compensation or similar insurance as
may be required under the laws of any state or jurisdiction in which such Loan

furnish Administrative Agent with (A) evidence of the maintenance of such
policies within thirty (30) days after the renewal thereof and copies of all new
policies within ninety (90) days after any expiration date, and (B) appropriate
loss payable endorsements in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative
Agent, naming Collateral Agent as an additional insured and mortgagee and/or
lender loss payee (as applicable) as its interests may appear with respect to
all insurance coverage referred to in clauses (i) and (iii) above, and providing
(I) that subject to the Intercreditor Agreements all proceeds thereunder shall
be payable to Collateral Agent, (II) that no such insurance shall be affected by
any act or neglect of the insured or owner of the property described in such
policy, and (III) if such endorsements are available on commercially reasonable
terms, endorsements that such policy and the related endorsements for the
benefit of the Collateral Agent may not be cancelled, amended or terminated
unless at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice (or, if such period is
not available on commercially reasonable terms, the longest such period that is
so available) is given to Administrative Agent (and in the case of non-payment,
at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice). In the event of any loss
thereunder, the carriers named therein hereby are directed by Administrative
Agent and the applicable Loan Party to make payment for such loss to Collateral
Agent subject to the Intercreditor Agreements and not to such Loan Party and
Collateral Agent jointly. If any insurance losses are paid by check, draft or
other instrument payable to any Loan Party and Collateral Agent jointly,
Collateral Agent may endorse such Loan Party’s name thereon and do such other
things as Collateral Agent may deem advisable to reduce the same to cash.
(b)Each Loan Party shall take all commercially reasonable actions required under
the Flood Laws and/or requested by Administrative Agent to assist in ensuring
that each Lender is in compliance with the Flood Laws applicable to the
Collateral, including, but not limited to, providing Administrative Agent with
the tax parcel number of each parcel of real property that will be subject to a
mortgage in favor of Collateral Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, and, to the
extent required, obtaining flood insurance for the structures on each such
parcel prior to such structures becoming Collateral, and thereafter maintaining
such flood insurance in full force and effect for so long as required by the
Flood Laws.
(c)Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to adjust and compromise claims under
insurance coverage referred to in Sections 6.6(a)(i), (iii) and (iv) and 6.6(b)
above. Subject to the applicable Intercreditor Agreement, all loss recoveries
received by Collateral Agent under any such insurance shall be applied to the
Obligations as and to the extent provided in Section 2.20(b). Any surplus shall
be paid by Collateral Agent to Loan Parties or applied as may be otherwise
required by Law. If any Loan Party fails to obtain insurance as hereinabove
provided, or to keep the same in force, Collateral Agent, if Collateral Agent so
elects, may obtain such insurance and pay the premium therefor on behalf of such
Loan Party, which payments shall be charged to Borrowers’ Account and constitute
part of the Obligations.

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

(d)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.6, it is agreed by
all parties that the coverages and policies set forth on Schedule 6.6 hereto, to
the extent in effect on the Restatement Effective Date, meet the standards
required by the foregoing Section 6.6(a) and are otherwise satisfactory to the
Collateral Agent and the Lenders in all respects as of the Restatement Effective
Date. In the event the Collateral Agent reasonably determines that the coverages
and/or policies maintained by any Loan Party fail to meet any of the standards
set forth in the foregoing Section 6.6(a), such Loan Party shall be permitted a
commercially reasonable period of time to obtain alternative coverages and/or
policies that comply with the standards outlined in the foregoing Section
6.6(a).
7.Payment of Indebtedness and Leasehold Obligations. Pay, discharge or otherwise
satisfy (a) at or before maturity (subject, where applicable, to specified grace
periods) all its Indebtedness, except when the failure to do so could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or when the amount or
validity thereof is currently being Properly Contested, subject at all times to
any applicable subordination arrangement in favor of Lenders and (b) when due
its rental obligations under all leases under which it is a tenant, and shall
otherwise comply, in all material respects, with all other terms of such leases
and keep them in full force and effect, in each case except when the failure to
do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(a)Ensure that the Real Property and all operations and businesses conducted
thereon are in compliance in all material respects and remain in compliance in
all material respects with all Environmental Laws, and manage any and all
Hazardous Materials on any Real Property in compliance in all material respects
with Environmental Laws.

assure and monitor continued compliance with applicable Environmental Laws. All
potential violations and violations of Environmental Laws shall be reviewed to
determine any required reporting to applicable Governmental Bodies and any
required corrective actions to address such potential violations or violations.
(c)Respond promptly after becoming aware of any Release of Hazardous Materials
or Environmental Complaint and take all action required under Environmental Laws
to respond to such Release or Environmental Complaint and to avoid subjecting
the Collateral or Real Property to any Lien. After becoming aware of any Release
or Environmental Complaint, if the Loan Parties fail to promptly comply or take
reasonable steps to comply with any of the requirements of this subsection (c),
then Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders may, after notice to and
consultation with the Loan Parties, but without the obligation to do so, for the
sole purpose of protecting Administrative Agent’s interest in the Collateral:
(i) give such notices or (ii) enter onto the Real Property (or authorize third
parties to enter onto the Real Property) and take such actions as reasonably
required to remediate, remove, mitigate or otherwise manage any such Release or
Environmental Complaint in accordance with the requirements of Environmental
Law. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent and
Lenders (or such third parties) in the exercise of any such rights, including
any sums paid in connection with any judicial or administrative investigation or
proceedings, fines and penalties, together with interest thereon from the date
expended at the Default Rate for Domestic Rate Loans constituting Revolving
Advances shall be paid upon demand by Loan Parties, and until paid shall be
added to and become a part of the Obligations secured by the Liens created by
the terms of this Agreement or any other agreement between Administrative Agent,
Collateral Agent, any Lender and any Loan Party.
(d)Promptly upon the reasonable written request of Administrative Agent from
time to time, which request shall provide a reasonable basis therefor, Loan
Parties shall provide Administrative Agent, at Loan Parties’ expense, with an
environmental site assessment or environmental compliance audit report prepared
by an environmental engineering firm acceptable in the reasonable opinion of
Administrative Agent. Any report or investigation of such Release proposed and
acceptable to the responsible Governmental Body shall be acceptable to
Administrative Agent. If such estimates, individually or in the aggregate,
exceed $100,000, Administrative Agent shall have the right to require Loan
Parties to post a bond, letter of credit or other security reasonably
satisfactory to Administrative Agent to secure payment of these costs and
expenses.
9.Standards of Financial Statements. Cause all financial statements referred to
in Sections 9.7, 9.8, 9.9, 9.10, 9.11, 9.12, and 9.13 as to which GAAP is

to be prepared in reasonable detail and in accordance with GAAP applied
consistently throughout the periods reflected therein (except as disclosed
therein and agreed to by such reporting accountants or officer, as applicable).

any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries (a) is required to file periodic

Subsidiaries which have issued Equity Interests which are part of the Collateral
pledged to the Collateral Agent to designate (a) their limited liability company
membership interests or partnership interests as the case may be, as securities
as contemplated by the definition of “security” in Section 8-102(15) and Section
8-103 of Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code, and (b) certificate such
limited liability company membership interests and partnership interests, as
applicable.

together with each other Qualified ECP Loan Party, hereby absolutely,
unconditionally and irrevocably (a) guarantees the prompt payment and
performance of all Swap Obligations owing by each Non-Qualifying Party (it being
understood and agreed that this guarantee is a guaranty of payment and not of

fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount).

remain in full force and effect until payment in full of the Obligations and

XI.
LENDERS’ RIGHTS AND REMEDIES AFTER DEFAULT.

1.Rights and Remedies.
(a)Upon the occurrence of: (i) an Event of Default pursuant to Section 10.7
(other than Section 10.7(vii)), all Obligations shall be immediately due and
payable and this Agreement and the obligation of Lenders to make Advances shall
be deemed terminated, (ii) any of the other Events of Default and at any time
thereafter, at the option of Administrative Agent or at the direction of
Required Lenders all Obligations shall be immediately due and payable and
Administrative Agent or Required Lenders shall have the right to terminate this
Agreement and to terminate the obligation of Lenders to make Advances; and (iii)
without limiting Section 8.2 hereof, any Default under Section 10.7(vii) hereof,
the obligation of Lenders to make Advances hereunder shall be suspended until
such time as such involuntary petition shall be dismissed. Upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of any Event of Default, (x) Administrative Agent or
Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall, subject to the terms of any
applicable Intercreditor Agreement, have the right to exercise any and all
rights and remedies provided for herein, under the Other Documents, under the
Uniform Commercial Code and at law or equity generally, including the right to
foreclose the security interests granted pursuant to the Collateral Documents
and to realize upon any Collateral by any available judicial procedure and/or to
take possession of and sell any or all of the Collateral with or without
judicial process, (y) Collateral Agent may enter any of any Borrower’s premises
or other premises without legal process and without incurring liability to any
Borrower therefor, and, subject to the terms of any applicable Intercreditor
Agreement, Collateral Agent may thereupon, or at any time thereafter, in its
discretion without notice or demand, take the Collateral and remove the same to
such place as Collateral Agent may deem advisable and Collateral Agent may
require Borrowers to make the Collateral available to Collateral Agent at a
convenient place, and (z) with or without having the Collateral at the time or
place of sale, subject to the terms of any applicable Intercreditor Agreement,
Collateral Agent may sell the Collateral, or any part thereof, at public or
private sale, at any time or place, in one or more sales, at such price or
prices, and upon such terms, either for cash, credit or future delivery, as
Collateral Agent may elect. Except as to that part of the Collateral which is
perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily
sold on a recognized market, Collateral Agent shall give Borrowers reasonable
notification of such sale or sales, it being agreed that in all events written
notice mailed to Borrowing Agent at least ten (10) days prior to such sale or
sales is reasonable notification. At any public sale any Agent or any Lender may
bid (including credit bid) for and become the purchaser, and any Agent, any
Lender or any other purchaser at any such sale thereafter shall hold the
Collateral sold absolutely free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind,
including any equity of redemption and all such claims, rights and equities are
hereby expressly waived and released by each Borrower. In connection with the
exercise of the foregoing remedies, including the sale of Inventory, Collateral
Agent is granted a perpetual nonrevocable, royalty free, nonexclusive license
and Collateral Agent is granted permission to use all of each Borrower’s (a)
Intellectual Property which is owned by Borrowers (or which Borrowers otherwise
have the right to permit Collateral Agent to use) and used or useful in
connection with Inventory for the purpose of marketing, advertising for sale and
selling or otherwise disposing of such Inventory and (b) equipment for the
purpose of completing the manufacture of unfinished goods. The cash proceeds
realized from the sale of any Collateral collected or received by Collateral
Agent shall be applied to the Obligations in the order set forth in Section 11.5
hereof, subject to the terms of any applicable Intercreditor Agreement. Noncash
proceeds will only be applied to the Obligations as they are converted into
cash. If any deficiency shall arise, Borrowers shall remain liable to the Agents
and Lenders therefor.

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

(b)To the extent that Applicable Law imposes duties on Administrative Agent or
Collateral Agent, as the case may be, to exercise remedies in a commercially
reasonable manner, each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it is not
commercially unreasonable for any Agent: (i) to fail to incur expenses
reasonably deemed significant by such Agent to prepare Collateral for
disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into
finished goods or other finished products for disposition; (ii) to fail to
obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to
obtain or, if not required by other Law, to fail to obtain governmental or third
party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected
or disposed of; (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Customers
or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse
claims against Collateral; (iv) to exercise collection remedies against
Customers and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use
of collection agencies and other collection specialists; (v) to advertise
dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation,
whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature; (vi) to contact other
Persons, whether or not in the same business as any Borrower, for expressions of
interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral; (vii) to hire one
or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral,
whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature; (viii) to dispose of
Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of
the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of
doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets; (ix) to dispose of assets
in wholesale rather than retail markets; (x) to disclaim disposition warranties,
such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to purchase insurance or
credit enhancements to insure such Agent against risks of loss, collection or
disposition of Collateral or to provide to such Agent a guaranteed return from
the collection or disposition of Collateral; or (xii) to the extent deemed
appropriate by such Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment
bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist such Agent in the
collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Borrower acknowledges
that the purpose of this Section 11.1(b) is to provide non-exhaustive
indications of what actions or omissions by Administrative Agent or Collateral
Agent, as the case may be, would not be commercially unreasonable in
Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s, as the case may be, exercise of
remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by any Agent
shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being
indicated in this Section 11.1(b). Without limitation upon the foregoing,
nothing contained in this Section 11.1(b) shall be construed to grant any rights
to any Borrower or to impose any duties on any Agent that would not have been
granted or imposed by this Agreement or by Applicable Law in the absence of this
Section 11.1(b).
2.Collateral Agent’s Discretion. Collateral Agent shall have the right in its
sole discretion to determine which rights, Liens, security interests or remedies
Collateral Agent may at any time pursue, relinquish, subordinate, or modify,
which procedures, timing and methodologies to employ, and what any other action
to take with respect to any or all of the Collateral and in what order, thereto
and such determination will not in any way modify or affect any of Agents’ or
Lenders’ rights hereunder as against Borrowers or each other.
3.Setoff. Subject to Section 14.13, in addition to any other rights which any
Agent or any Lender may have under Applicable Law, upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default hereunder, the Agents and such Lender shall have a right,
immediately and without notice of any kind, to apply any Borrower’s property
held by such Agent and such Lender or any of their Affiliates to reduce the
Obligations and to exercise any and all rights of setoff which may be available
to such Agents and such Lenders with respect to any deposits held by such Agents
or such Lenders.
4.Rights and Remedies not Exclusive. The enumeration of the foregoing rights and
remedies is not intended to be exhaustive and the exercise of any rights or
remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other right or remedies provided
for herein or otherwise provided by Law, all of which shall be cumulative and
not alternative.
5.Allocation of Payments after Event of Default. Notwithstanding any other
provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, after the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default, all amounts collected or received by any
Agent on account of the Obligations (including without limitation any amounts on
account of any of Cash Management Liabilities or Hedge Liabilities), or in
respect of the Collateral shall be paid over or delivered, subject to the terms
of the applicable Intercreditor Agreement, as follows:
FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of Administrative Agent and, to the
extent such costs and expenses are permitted herein, Syndication Agent on a pari

Protective Advances funded by Administrative Agent with respect to the
Collateral under or pursuant to the terms of this Agreement;

on account of the Swing Loans;
FIFTH, to the payment of the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations
consisting of Swing Loans;

SEVENTH, to the payment of the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations

Liabilities are reserved for under the Formula Amount; and including the payment
or cash collateralization of any outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance
with Section 3.2(b) hereof);
EIGHTH, to all other Obligations arising under this Agreement (including Cash
Management Liabilities and Hedge Liabilities) which shall have become due and
payable (hereunder, under the Other Documents or otherwise) and not repaid
pursuant to clauses “FIRST” through “SEVENTH” above;
NINTH, to all other Obligations which shall have become due and payable and not
repaid pursuant to clauses “FIRST” through “EIGHTH”; and

entitled to receive such surplus.
In carrying out the foregoing, (i) amounts received shall be applied in the
numerical order provided until exhausted prior to application to the next
succeeding category; (ii) each of the Lenders shall receive (so long as it is
not a Defaulting Lender) an amount equal to its pro rata share (based on the
proportion that the then outstanding Advances, Cash Management Liabilities and
Hedge Liabilities held by such Lender bears to the aggregate then outstanding
Advances, Cash Management Liabilities and Hedge Liabilities) of amounts
available to be applied pursuant to clauses “SIXTH”, “SEVENTH”, “EIGHTH” and
“NINTH” above; and (iii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Section 11.5, no Swap Obligations of any Non-Qualifying Party shall be paid with
amounts received from such Non-Qualifying Party under its Guaranty (including

Guaranty) or from the proceeds of such Non-Qualifying Party’s Collateral if such
Swap Obligations would constitute Excluded Hedge Liabilities, provided, however,
that to the extent possible appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect
to payments and/or the proceeds of Collateral from other Borrowers and/or
Guarantors that are Eligible Contract Participants with respect to such Swap
Obligations to preserve the allocation to Obligations otherwise set forth above
in this Section 11.5; and (iv) to the extent that any amounts available for
distribution pursuant to clause “SEVENTH” above are attributable to the issued
but undrawn amount of outstanding Letters of Credit, such amounts shall be held
by Collateral Agent as cash collateral for the Letters of Credit pursuant to
Section 3.2(b) hereof and applied (A) first, to reimburse Issuer from time to
time for any drawings under such Letters of Credit and (B) then, following the
expiration of all Letters of Credit, to all other obligations of the types
described in clauses “SEVENTH,” “EIGHTH”, and “NINTH” above in the manner
provided in this Section 11.5.

“Term”) unless sooner terminated as herein provided. Borrowers may terminate
this Agreement at any time upon twenty (20) days’ prior written notice to
Administrative Agent upon payment in full of the outstanding Obligations and
cash collateralization of any outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with
Section 3.2(b) hereof.

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

2.Termination. The termination of the Agreement shall not affect any Agent’s or
any Lender’s rights, or any of the Obligations, having their inception prior to
the effective date of such termination or any Obligations which pursuant to the
terms hereof continue to accrue after such date, and the provisions hereof shall
continue to be fully operative until all transactions entered into, rights or
interests created and Obligations have been fully paid in immediately available
funds, cash collateralized, disposed of, concluded or liquidated (other than (i)
future obligations consisting of contingent Obligations that may be owing for
which no claims have been made and which expressly survive termination of this
Agreement and the Other Documents and (ii) Lender-Provided Interest Rate Hedge
or Lender-Provided Foreign Exchange Hedge Obligations or Cash Management
Liabilities as to which arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Lender in
its discretion have been made). At such time as no Secured Party has any
commitment to make financial accommodations to any Borrower pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement and all the Obligations (other than (i) future
obligations consisting of contingent Obligations that may be owing for which no
claims have been made and which expressly survive termination of this Agreement
and the Other Documents and (ii) Lender-Provided Interest Rate Hedge or
Lender-Provided Foreign Exchange Hedge Obligations or Cash Management
Liabilities as to which arrangements satisfactory to the applicable Lender in
its discretion have been made) have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full
or cash collateralized as provided herein (“Payment in Full”), then the
guarantees and security provided for in this Agreement and the Other Documents
shall terminate, provided, however, that (i) all expense reimbursement and
indemnities of the Borrowers and each other Loan Party contained in this
Agreement or any other Loan Document shall survive and remain operative and in
full force and effect regardless of the termination of such security and any
Payment in Full of Obligations hereunder, and (ii) the Collateral Documents (and
any Liens granted thereunder) shall not terminate and shall be in full force and
effect until such time as the Discharge of Term Loan Obligations has occurred in
accordance with the ABL Intercreditor Agreement.

XIV.
REGARDING AGENTS.

1.Appointment. Each Lender hereby designates PNC to act as Administrative Agent
and Collateral Agent for such Lender under this Agreement and the Other
Documents. Each Lender hereby designates Wells to act as Syndication Agent for
such Lender under this Agreement and the Other Documents. Each Lender hereby
irrevocably authorizes each Agent to take such action on its behalf under the
provisions of this Agreement and the Other Documents and to exercise such powers
and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically
delegated to or required of such Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such
other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto and the applicable Agent shall
hold all Collateral, payments of principal and interest, fees (except the fees
set forth in the Fee Letter), charges and collections received pursuant to this
Agreement, for the ratable benefit of Lenders. Each Agent may perform any of its
duties hereunder by or through its agents or employees. As to any matters not
expressly provided for by this Agreement (including collection of the Note) no
Agent shall be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall
be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so
acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of Required Lenders, and
such instructions shall be binding; provided, however, that no Agent shall be
required to take any action which, in such Agent’s discretion, exposes such
Agent to liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or the Other Documents
or Applicable Law unless such Agent is furnished with an indemnification
reasonably satisfactory to such Agent with respect thereto.
2.Nature of Duties. No Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities except
those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Other Documents. No Agent
nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be
(i) liable for any action taken or omitted by them as such hereunder or in
connection herewith, unless caused by their gross (not mere) negligence or
willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a
final non-appealable judgment), or (ii) responsible in any manner for any
recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Borrower or any
officer thereof contained in this Agreement, or in any of the Other Documents or
in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided
for in, or received by any Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or
any of the Other Documents or for the value, validity, effectiveness,
genuineness, due execution, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, or
any of the Other Documents or for any failure of any Borrower to perform its
obligations hereunder. No Agent shall be under any obligation to any Lender to
ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the
agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any of the Other
Documents, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Borrower. The
duties of Administrative Agent as respects the Advances to Borrowers shall be
mechanical and administrative in nature; no Agent shall have by reason of this
Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender; and nothing in this
Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to
impose upon any Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or the
transactions described herein except as expressly set forth herein.

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

3.Lack of Reliance on Agents. Independently and without reliance upon any Agent
or any other Lender, each Lender has made and shall continue to make (i) its own
independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of each
Borrower and each Guarantor in connection with the making and the continuance of
the Advances hereunder and the taking or not taking of any action in connection
herewith, and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Borrower
and each Guarantor. No Agent shall have any duty or responsibility, either
initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or
other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession
before making of the Advances or at any time or times thereafter except as shall
be provided by any Borrower pursuant to the terms hereof. No Agent shall be
responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, information,
representations or warranties herein or in any agreement, document, certificate
or a statement delivered in connection with or for the execution, effectiveness,
genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency of this
Agreement or any Other Document, or of the financial condition of any Borrower
or any Guarantor, or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the
performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this
Agreement, the Note, the Other Documents or the financial condition or prospects
of any Borrower, or the existence of any Event of Default or any Default.
4.Resignation of Agents; Successor Agents. Any Agent may resign on sixty (60)
days written notice to each Lender and Borrowing Agent and upon such
resignation, Required Lenders will promptly designate a successor Agent
reasonably satisfactory to Borrowers (provided that no such approval by
Borrowers shall be required (i) in any case where the successor Agent is one of
the Lenders or (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event
of Default). Should any Agent cease to be a Lender or Issuer under this
Agreement and cease to have any obligation to make any Advances or issue any
Letters of Credit pursuant to this Agreement, such Agent shall promptly resign
as Agent in accordance with this Section 14.4. Any such successor Agent shall
succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the resigning Agent, and in the case
of a resigning Collateral Agent, such successor Collateral Agent shall in
particular succeed to all of the resigning Collateral Agent’s right, title and
interest in and to all of the Liens in the Collateral securing the Obligations
created hereunder or any Other Document (including the Mortgages, Security
Agreement and all Intellectual Property Security Agreements and account control
agreements), and the term “Administrative Agent”, “Syndication Agent” or
“Collateral Agent”, as applicable, shall mean such successor agent effective
upon its appointment, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Agent
shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of
such former Agent. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, if at the time of the
effectiveness of the new Collateral Agent’s appointment, any further actions
need to be taken in order to provide for the legally binding and valid transfer
of any Liens in the Collateral from former Collateral Agent to new Collateral
Agent and/or for the perfection of any Liens in the Collateral as held by new
Collateral Agent or it is otherwise not then possible for new Collateral Agent
to become the holder of a fully valid, enforceable and perfected Lien as to any
of the Collateral, former Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such Liens
solely as agent for perfection of such Liens on behalf of new Collateral Agent
until such time as new Collateral Agent can obtain a fully valid, enforceable
and perfected Lien on all Collateral, provided that Collateral Agent shall not
be required to or have any liability or responsibility to take any further
actions after such date as such agent for perfection to continue the perfection
of any such Liens (other than to forego from taking any affirmative action to
release any such Liens). After any Agent’s resignation as Agent, the provisions
of this Article XIV, and any indemnification rights under this Agreement,
including without limitation, rights arising under Section 16.5 hereof, shall
inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while
it was an Agent under this Agreement (and in the event resigning Collateral
Agent continues to hold any Liens pursuant to the provisions of the immediately
preceding sentence, the provisions of this Article XIV and any indemnification
rights under this Agreement, including without limitation, rights arising under
Section 16.5 hereof, shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or
omitted to be taken by it in connection with such Liens). Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, no Disqualified Person may be appointed as a
successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent; provided, that the
restriction of this sentence shall not apply to any appointment of a successor
Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent made after the occurrence and during
the continuation of an Event of Default.
5.Certain Rights of Agents. If any Agent shall request instructions from Lenders
with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with
this Agreement or any Other Document, such Agent shall be entitled to refrain
from such act or taking such action unless and until such Agent shall have
received instructions from Required Lenders; and such Agent shall not incur
liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the
foregoing, Lenders shall not have any right of action whatsoever against any
Agent as a result of its acting or refraining from acting hereunder in
accordance with the instructions of Required Lenders.
6.Reliance. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected
in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate,
email, facsimile, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, order or
other document or telephone message believed by it to be genuine and correct and
to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person or entity, and, with
respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and the Other
Documents and its duties hereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it. Each
Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be liable for the
default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by such
Agent with reasonable care.

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

7.Notice of Default. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the
occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder or under the Other
Documents, unless such Agent has received notice from a Lender or Borrowing
Agent referring to this Agreement or the Other Documents, describing such
Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of
default”. In the event that any Agent receives such a notice, such Agent shall
give notice thereof to Lenders. Agents shall take such action with respect to
such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by Required
Lenders; provided, that, unless and until Agents shall have received such
directions, Agents may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or
refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of
Default as they shall deem advisable in the best interests of Lenders.
8.Indemnification. To the extent any Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by
Borrowers, each Lender will reimburse and indemnify such Agent in proportion to
its respective portion of the outstanding Advances and its respective
Participation Commitments in the outstanding Letters of Credit and outstanding
Swing Loans (or, if no Advances are outstanding, pro rata according to the
percentage that its Revolving Commitment Amount constitutes of the total
aggregate Revolving Commitment Amounts), from and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be
imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in performing its duties
hereunder, or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any
Other Document; provided, that Lenders shall not be liable for any portion of
such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent’s gross (not
mere) negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment).
9.Individual Capacity. With respect to the obligation of each Agent to lend
under this Agreement, the Advances made by it shall have the same rights and
powers hereunder as any other Lender and as if it were not performing the duties
as Agent specified herein; and the term “Lender” or any similar term shall,
unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include such Agent in its
individual capacity as a Lender. Each Agent may engage in business with any
Borrower as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may
accept fees and other consideration from any Borrower for services in connection
with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to
Lenders.
10.Delivery of Documents. To the extent an Agent receives financial statements
required under Sections 9.7, 9.8, 9.9, 9.12 and 9.13, Borrowing Base
Certificates or any other certificates from any Borrower pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement which any Borrower is not obligated to deliver to each Lender,
such Agent, as applicable, will promptly furnish such documents and information
to Lenders.
11.Borrowers’ Undertaking to Agents. Without prejudice to their respective
obligations to Lenders under the other provisions of this Agreement, each
Borrower hereby undertakes with each Agent to pay to such Agent from time to
time on demand all amounts from time to time due and payable by it for the
account of such Agent or Lenders or any of them pursuant to this Agreement to
the extent not already paid. Any payment made pursuant to any such demand shall
pro tanto satisfy the relevant Borrower’s obligations to make payments for the
account of Lenders or the relevant one or more of them pursuant to this
Agreement.
12.No Reliance on Any Agent’s Customer Identification Program. To the extent the
Advances or this Agreement is, or becomes, syndicated in cooperation with other
Lenders, each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any
of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on any Agent to carry out
such Lender’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification
program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA
PATRIOT Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained
in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or
any other Anti‑Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the
following items relating to or in connection with any of Borrowers, their
Affiliates or their agents, the Other Documents or the transactions hereunder or
contemplated hereby: (i) any identity verification procedures, (ii) any
recordkeeping, (iii) comparisons with government lists, (iv) customer notices or
(v) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such Anti-Terrorism
Laws.
13.Other Agreements. Each of the Lenders agrees that it shall not, without the
express consent of Administrative Agent, and that it shall, to the extent it is
lawfully entitled to do so, upon the request of Administrative Agent, set off
against the Obligations, any amounts owing by such Lender to any Borrower or any
deposit accounts of any Borrower now or hereafter maintained with such Lender.
Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, each of the Lenders
further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so by
Administrative Agent, take any action to protect or enforce its rights arising
out of this Agreement or the Other Documents, it being the intent of Lenders
that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement and the
Other Documents shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the
consent of Administrative Agent or Required Lenders.
14.Lead Arrangers. The Lead Arrangers shall not have any duties or
responsibilities hereunder in their respective capacities as such.

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

XV.
BORROWING AGENCY.

1.Borrowing Agency Provisions.
(a)Each Borrower hereby irrevocably designates Borrowing Agent to be its
attorney and agent and in such capacity to (i) borrow, (ii) request advances,
(iii) request the issuance of Letters of Credit, (iv) sign and endorse notes,
(v) execute and deliver all instruments, documents, applications, security
agreements, reimbursement agreements and letter of credit agreements for Letters
of Credit and all other certificates, notice, writings and further assurances
now or hereafter required hereunder, (vi) make elections regarding interest
rates, (vii) give instructions regarding Letters of Credit and agree with Issuer
upon any amendment, extension or renewal of any Letter of Credit and (viii)
otherwise take action under and in connection with this Agreement and the Other
Documents, all on behalf of and in the name such Borrower or Borrowers, and
hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to pay over or credit all loan proceeds
hereunder in accordance with the request of Borrowing Agent.
(b)The handling of this credit facility as a co-borrowing facility with a
borrowing agent in the manner set forth in this Agreement is solely as an
accommodation to Borrowers and at their request. No Agent or any Lender shall
incur liability to Borrowers as a result thereof. To induce Agents and Lenders
to do so and in consideration thereof, each Borrower hereby indemnifies each
Agent and each Lender and holds each Agent and each Lender harmless from and
against any and all liabilities, expenses, losses, damages and claims of damage
or injury asserted against any Agent or any Lender by any Person arising from or
incurred by reason of the handling of the financing arrangements of Borrowers as
provided herein, reliance by any Agent or any Lender on any request or
instruction from Borrowing Agent or any other action taken by any Agent or any
Lender with respect to this Section 15.1 except due to willful misconduct or
gross (not mere) negligence by the indemnified party (as determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment).
(c)All Obligations shall be joint and several, and each Borrower shall make
payment upon the maturity of the Obligations by acceleration or otherwise, and
such obligation and liability on the part of each Borrower shall in no way be
affected by any extensions, renewals and forbearance granted by any Agent or any
Lender to any Borrower, failure of any Agent or any Lender to give any Borrower
notice of borrowing or any other notice, any failure of any Agent or any Lender
to pursue or preserve its rights against any Borrower, the release by any Agent
or any Lender of any Collateral now or thereafter acquired from any Borrower,
and such agreement by each Borrower to pay upon any notice issued pursuant
thereto is unconditional and unaffected by prior recourse by any Agent or any
Lender to the other Borrowers or any Collateral for such Borrower’s Obligations
or the lack thereof. Each Borrower waives all suretyship defenses.
2.Waiver of Subrogation. Each Borrower expressly waives any and all rights of
subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity, exoneration, contribution of any other
claim which such Borrower may now or hereafter have against the other Borrowers
or any other Person directly or contingently liable for the Obligations
hereunder, or against or with respect to any other Borrowers’ property
(including, without limitation, any property which is Collateral for the
Obligations), arising from the existence or performance of this Agreement, until
termination of this Agreement and repayment in full of the Obligations.

XVI.
MISCELLANEOUS.

1.Governing Law. This Agreement and each Other Document (unless and except to
the extent expressly provided otherwise in any such Other Document), and all
matters relating hereto or thereto or arising herefrom or therefrom (whether
arising under contract law, tort law or otherwise) shall, in accordance with
Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York, be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
Any judicial proceeding brought by or against any Borrower with respect to any
of the Obligations, this Agreement, the Other Documents or any related agreement
may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of New York,
United States of America, and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each
Borrower accepts for itself and in connection with its properties, generally and
unconditionally, the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts, and
irrevocably agrees to be bound by any judgment rendered thereby in connection
with this Agreement. Each Borrower hereby waives personal service of any and all
process upon it and consents that all such service of process may be made by
certified or registered mail (return receipt requested) directed to Borrowing
Agent at its address set forth in Section 16.6 and service so made shall be
deemed completed five (5) days after the same shall have been so deposited in
the mails of the United States of America, or, at Administrative Agent’s or
Collateral Agent’s option, by service upon Borrowing Agent which each Borrower
irrevocably appoints as such Borrower’s agent for the purpose of accepting
service within the State of New York. Nothing herein shall affect the right to
serve process in any manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of any
Agent or any Lender to bring proceedings against any Borrower in the courts of
any other jurisdiction. Each Borrower waives any objection to jurisdiction and
venue of any action instituted hereunder and shall not assert any defense based
on lack of jurisdiction or venue or based upon forum non conveniens. Each
Borrower waives the right to remove any judicial proceeding brought against such
Borrower in any state court to any federal court. Any judicial proceeding by any
Borrower against any Agent or any Lender involving, directly or indirectly, any
matter or claim in any way arising out of, related to or connected with this
Agreement or any related agreement, shall be brought only in a federal or state
court located in the County of New York, State of New York.

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

2.Entire Understanding.
(a)This Agreement and the documents executed concurrently herewith (including
the Other Documents executed concurrently with the execution of the Existing
Credit Agreement) contain the entire understanding between each Borrower, each
Agent and each Lender and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, if
any, relating to the subject matter hereof. Any promises, representations,
warranties or guarantees not herein contained and hereinafter made shall have no
force and effect unless in writing, signed by each Borrower’s, each Agent’s and
each Lender’s respective officers. Neither this Agreement nor any portion or
provisions hereof may be changed, modified, amended, waived, supplemented,
discharged, cancelled or terminated orally or by any course of dealing, or in
any manner other than by an agreement in writing, signed by the party to be
charged. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Administrative Agent may modify this
Agreement or any of the Other Documents for the sole purpose of completing
missing content or correcting erroneous content of an administrative nature,
without the need for a written amendment, provided that the Administrative Agent
shall send a copy of any such modification to the Borrowers and each Lender
(which copy may be provided by electronic mail). Each Borrower acknowledges that
it has been advised by counsel in connection with the execution of this
Agreement and Other Documents and is not relying upon oral representations or
statements inconsistent with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
(b)Required Lenders, Administrative Agent with the consent of Required Lenders,
Syndication Agent with the consent of Required Lenders, Collateral Agent with
the consent of Required Lenders, and Borrowers may, subject to the provisions of
this Section 16.2(b), from time to time enter into written amendments, waivers
or other supplemental agreements to this Agreement or the Other Documents
executed by Borrowers, for the purpose of adding or deleting any provisions or
otherwise changing, varying or waiving in any manner the rights of Lenders,
Administrative Agent, Syndication Agent, Collateral Agent or Borrowers
thereunder or the conditions, provisions or terms thereof or waiving any Event
of Default thereunder, but only to the extent specified in such written
agreements; provided, however, that no such supplemental agreement shall:
(i)increase the Revolving Commitment Percentage or the maximum dollar amount of
the Revolving Commitment Amount or the Surety L/C Commitment Amount of any
Lender without the consent of such Lender directly affected thereby;
(ii)whether or not any Advances are outstanding, extend the Term or the time for
payment of principal or interest of any Advance (excluding the due date of any
mandatory prepayment of an Advance), or any fee payable to any Lender, or reduce
the principal amount of or the rate of interest borne by any Advances or reduce
any fee payable to any Lender, without the consent of each Lender directly
affected thereby (except that Required Lenders may elect to waive or rescind any
imposition of the Default Rate under Section 3.1 or of default rates of Letter
of Credit fees under Section 3.2 (unless imposed by Administrative Agent));
(iii)increase the Maximum Borrowing and L/C Amount without the consent of all
Lenders;
(iv)alter the definition of the term Required Lenders or alter, amend or modify
this Section 16.2(b) without the consent of all Lenders;
(v)alter, amend or modify the provisions of Section 11.5 without the consent of
all Lenders;
(vi)release ABL First Lien Collateral with respect to the Obligations under this
Agreement (other than in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and
the Other Documents, including Section 16.19 hereof) having an aggregate value
in excess of $5,000,000 during any calendar year without the consent of all
Lenders; provided, however, that any release of any ABL First Lien Collateral
during any calendar year (other than in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement and the Other Documents, including Section 16.19 hereof) having an
aggregate value of $5,000,000 or less shall require the prior written consent of
Administrative Agent and Syndication Agent;
(vii)change the rights and duties of any Agent without the consent of all
Lenders;
(viii)subject to clause (e) below, permit any Revolving Advance to be made if
after giving effect thereto the total of Revolving Advances outstanding
hereunder would exceed the Formula Amount for more than thirty (30) consecutive
Business Days or exceed one hundred and five percent (105%) of the Formula
Amount without the consent of all Lenders;
(ix)increase the Advance Rates above the Advance Rates in effect on the Closing
Date without the consent of all Lenders;
(x)amend, modify, or eliminate the definition of Formula Amount or any of the
defined terms (including the definitions of Eligible Non-Bonded Accounts
Receivable and Eligible Inventory) that are used in such definition to the
extent that any such change results in more credit being made available to
Borrowers based upon the Formula Amount, in each case without written consent of
all Lenders; or
(xi)release any Guarantor or Borrower (other than in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement or any Other Document) without the consent of all
Lenders.
(c)Any such supplemental agreement shall apply equally to each Lender and shall
be binding upon Borrowers, Lenders and Agents and all future holders of the
Obligations. In the case of any waiver, Borrowers, Agents and Lenders shall be
restored to their former positions and rights, and any Event of Default waived
shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing, but no waiver of a specific
Event of Default shall extend to any subsequent Event of Default (whether or not
the subsequent Event of Default is the same as the Event of Default which was
waived), or impair any right consequent thereon.

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

(d)In the event that Administrative Agent requests the consent of a Lender
pursuant to this Section 16.2 and such consent is denied, then Administrative
Agent may, at its option, require such Lender to assign its interest in the
Advances to Administrative Agent or to another Lender or to any other Person
designated by Administrative Agent in consultation with Borrowing Agent (the
“Designated Lender”), for a price equal to (i) the then outstanding principal
amount thereof plus (ii) accrued and unpaid interest and fees due such Lender,
which interest and fees shall be paid when collected from Borrowers. In the
event Administrative Agent elects to require any Lender to assign its interest
to Administrative Agent or to the Designated Lender, Administrative Agent will
so notify such Lender in writing within forty five (45) days following such
Lender’s denial, and such Lender will assign its interest to Administrative
Agent or the Designated Lender no later than five (5) days following receipt of
such notice pursuant to a Commitment Transfer Supplement executed by such
Lender, Administrative Agent or the Designated Lender, as appropriate, and
Administrative Agent.
(e)Notwithstanding (i) the existence of a Default or an Event of Default,
(ii) that any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section
8.2 hereof have not been satisfied or the commitments of Lenders to make
Revolving Advances hereunder have been terminated for any reason, or (iii) any
other contrary provision of this Agreement, Administrative Agent and Syndication
Agent may at their discretion and without the consent of any Lender, voluntarily
permit the outstanding Revolving Advances at any time to exceed by up to ten
percent (10%) of the Formula Amount for up to thirty (30) consecutive Business
Days (the “Out-of-Formula Loans”). If Administrative Agent and Syndication Agent
are willing in their sole and absolute discretion to permit such Out-of-Formula
Loans, Lenders holding the Revolving Commitments shall be obligated to fund such
Out-of-Formula Loans in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment
Percentages up to their respective Revolving Commitment Amount, and such
Out-of-Formula Loans shall be payable on demand and shall bear interest at the
Default Rate for Revolving Advances consisting of Domestic Rate Loans; provided,
that, if Administrative Agent and Syndication Agent do permit Out-of-Formula
Loans, neither Administrative Agent, Syndication Agent nor Lenders shall be
deemed thereby to have changed the limits of Section 2.1(a) nor shall any Lender
be obligated to fund Revolving Advances in excess of its Revolving Commitment
Amount. For purposes of this paragraph, the discretion granted to Administrative
Agent and Syndication Agent hereunder shall not preclude involuntary
overadvances that may result from time to time due to the fact that the Formula
Amount was unintentionally exceeded for any reason, including, but not limited
to, Collateral previously deemed to be either “Eligible Non-Bonded Accounts
Receivable” or “Eligible Inventory”, as applicable, becomes ineligible,
collections of Receivables applied to reduce outstanding Revolving Advances are
thereafter returned for insufficient funds or overadvances are made to protect
or preserve the Collateral. In the event Administrative Agent and Syndication
Agent involuntarily permit the outstanding Revolving Advances to exceed the
Formula Amount by more than ten percent (10%), Administrative Agent and
Syndication Agent shall use their efforts to have Borrowers decrease such excess
in as expeditious a manner as is practicable under the circumstances and not
inconsistent with the reason for such excess. Revolving Advances made after
Administrative Agent and Syndication Agent have determined the existence of
involuntary overadvances shall be deemed to be involuntary overadvances and
shall be decreased in accordance with the preceding sentence. To the extent any
Out-of-Formula Loans are not actually funded by the other Lenders as provided
for in this Section 16.2(e), Administrative Agent and Syndication Agent may
elect in their discretion to have Administrative Agent fund such Out-of-Formula
Loans and any such Out-of-Formula Loans so funded by Administrative Agent shall
be deemed to be Revolving Advances made by and owing to Administrative Agent,
and Administrative Agent shall be entitled to all rights (including accrual of
interest) and remedies of a Lender holding a Revolving Commitment under this
Agreement and the Other Documents with respect to such Revolving Advances.
(f)In addition to (and not in substitution of) the discretionary Revolving
Advances permitted above in this Section 16.2, Administrative Agent is hereby
authorized by Borrowers and Lenders, at any time in Administrative Agent’s and
Syndication Agent’s sole discretion, regardless of (i) the existence of a
Default or an Event of Default, (ii) whether any of the other applicable
conditions precedent set forth in Section 8.2 hereof have not been satisfied or
the commitments of Lenders to make Revolving Advances hereunder have been
terminated for any reason, or (iii) any other contrary provision of this
Agreement, to make Revolving Advances (“Protective Advances”) to Borrowers on
behalf of Lenders which Administrative Agent and Syndication Agent, in their
reasonable business judgment, deem necessary or desirable (a) to preserve or
protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (b) to enhance the likelihood
of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Advances and other Obligations,
or (c) to pay any other amount chargeable to Borrowers pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement; provided, that the Protective Advances made hereunder shall not
exceed $10,500,000 in the aggregate and provided further that at any time after
giving effect to any such Protective Advances, the outstanding Revolving
Advances, Swing Loans and Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of
Credit do not exceed the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount. Lenders holding the
Revolving Commitments shall be obligated to fund such Protective Advances and
effect a settlement with Administrative Agent therefor upon demand of
Administrative Agent in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment
Percentages. To the extent any Protective Advances are not actually funded by
the other Lenders as provided for in this Section 16.2(f), any such Protective
Advances funded by Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be Revolving Advances
made by and owing to Administrative Agent, and Administrative Agent shall be
entitled to all rights (including accrual of interest) and remedies of a Lender
holding a Revolving Commitment under this Agreement and the Other Documents with
respect to such Revolving Advances.

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

3.Successors and Assigns; Participations.
(a)This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrowers,
each Agent, each Lender, all future holders of the Obligations and their
respective successors and assigns, except that no Borrower may assign or
transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior
written consent of Administrative Agent and each Lender.
(b)Each Borrower acknowledges that in the regular course of commercial banking
business one or more Lenders may at any time and from time to time sell
participating interests in the Advances to other Persons (other than a
Disqualified Person, provided that the restriction of this parenthetical shall
not apply after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of
Default with respect to any Disqualified Person who is not a Company Competitor)
(each such transferee or purchaser of a participating interest, a
“Participant”); provided that (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement
shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the
other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii)
Borrowers, the Agents, the Lenders and the Issuer 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
(other than as is already provided for herein) to any amendment, modification or
waiver described in Sections 16.2(b)(i), 16.2(b)(ii), 16.2(b)(vi) or 16.2(b)(x))
that affects such Participant. Each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall
be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.7, 3.9 and 3.11 (subject to the
requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Sections
3.11(e)-(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Sections
3.11(e)-(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent
as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to
Section 16.3(c); provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the
provisions of Section 3.12 as if it were an assignee under Section 16.3(c); and
(B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.7, 3.9
or 3.11, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would
have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive
a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant
acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation
agrees, at Borrowers’ request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to
cooperate with Borrowers to effectuate the provisions of Section 3.12 with
respect to any Participant. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting
solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrowers, maintain a register on which
it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts
(and stated interest) of each Participant's interest in the Loans or other
obligations under this Agreement and the Other Documents (the “Participant
Register”); provided, that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all
or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any
Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any
commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under this
Agreement and any Other Document) to any Person except to the extent that such
disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of
credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of
the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register
shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each
Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such
participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to
the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, Administrative Agent (in its capacity
as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a
Participant Register.

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

(c)Any Lender, with the consent of Administrative Agent and Borrowing Agent
(provided, that (i) no such consent by Borrowing Agent shall be required if an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or such assignment is to a
Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender and (ii) the consent of Borrowing Agent shall
not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), may sell, assign or
transfer all or any part of its rights and obligations under or relating to
Revolving Advances under this Agreement and the Other Documents to one or more
additional Persons (other than a Disqualified Person, provided that the
restriction of this parenthetical shall not apply after the occurrence and
during the continuation of an Event of Default with respect to any Disqualified
Person who is not a Company Competitor) and one or more additional Persons
(other than a Disqualified Person, provided that the restriction of this
parenthetical shall not apply after the occurrence and during the continuation
of an Event of Default with respect to any Disqualified Person who is not a
Company Competitor) may commit to make Advances hereunder (each a “Purchasing
Lender”), in minimum amounts of not less than $5,000,000, pursuant to a
Commitment Transfer Supplement, executed by a Purchasing Lender, the transferor
Lender, Borrowing Agent (provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing) and Administrative Agent and delivered to Administrative Agent for
recording; provided, however, that 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 with respect to each of the Revolving Advances
under this Agreement in which such Lender has an interest. Upon such execution,
delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the transfer effective date
determined pursuant to such Commitment Transfer Supplement, (i) Purchasing
Lender thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such
Commitment Transfer Supplement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender
thereunder with a Revolving Commitment Percentage as set forth therein, and (ii)
the transferor Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such
Commitment Transfer Supplement, be released from its obligations under this
Agreement, the Commitment Transfer Supplement creating a novation for that
purpose. Such Commitment Transfer Supplement shall be deemed to amend this
Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the
addition of such Purchasing Lender and the resulting adjustment of the Revolving
Commitment Percentages arising from the purchase by such Purchasing Lender of
all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such transferor Lender under
this Agreement and the Other Documents. Borrowers shall execute and deliver such
further documents and do such further acts and things in order to effectuate the
foregoing.
(d)Any Lender, with the consent of Administrative Agent which shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed, may directly or indirectly sell, assign or
transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under or relating to
Revolving Advances under this Agreement and the Other Documents to an entity,
whether a corporation, partnership, trust, limited liability company or other
entity (other than a Disqualified Person, provided that the restriction of this
parenthetical shall not apply after the occurrence and during the continuation
of an Event of Default with respect to any Disqualified Person who is not a
Company Competitor) that (i) is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or
otherwise investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the
ordinary course of its business and (ii) is administered, serviced or managed by
the assigning Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender (a “Purchasing CLO” and
together with each Participant and Purchasing Lender, each a “Transferee” and
collectively the “Transferees”), pursuant to a Commitment Transfer Supplement
modified as appropriate to reflect the interest being assigned (“Modified
Commitment Transfer Supplement”), executed by any intermediate purchaser, the
Purchasing CLO, the transferor Lender, and Administrative Agent as appropriate
and delivered to Administrative Agent for recording. Upon such execution and
delivery, from and after the transfer effective date determined pursuant to such
Modified Commitment Transfer Supplement, (i) Purchasing CLO thereunder shall be
a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Modified Commitment Transfer
Supplement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder and (ii) the
transferor Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Modified
Commitment Transfer Supplement, be released from its obligations under this
Agreement, the Modified Commitment Transfer Supplement creating a novation for
that purpose. Such Modified Commitment Transfer Supplement shall be deemed to
amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect
the addition of such Purchasing CLO. Each Borrower hereby consents to the
addition of such Purchasing CLO. Borrowers shall execute and deliver such
further documents and do such further acts and things in order to effectuate the
foregoing.
(e)Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the
Borrowers, shall maintain at its address a copy of each Commitment Transfer
Supplement and Modified Commitment Transfer Supplement delivered to it and a
register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of each
Lender and the outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest and other fees
due hereunder. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence
of manifest error, and each Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders may treat
each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Advance
recorded therein for the purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be
available for inspection by Borrowing Agent or any Lender at any reasonable time
and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Administrative Agent shall
receive a fee in the amount of $3,500 payable by the applicable Purchasing
Lender and/or Purchasing CLO upon the effective date of each transfer or
assignment (other than to an intermediate purchaser) to such Purchasing Lender
and/or Purchasing CLO.

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

(f)Each Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Transferee and any
prospective Transferee any and all financial information in such Lender’s
possession concerning such Borrower which has been delivered to such Lender by
or on behalf of such Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with
such Lender’s credit evaluation of such Borrower, provided that such Transferee
or prospective Transferee has agreed in writing to maintain the confidentiality
of such information substantially on the terms set forth in Section 16.15
hereof; provided, further, that no Lender shall disclose any financial
information concerning any Loan Party to any Disqualified Person (except that
the restriction of this proviso shall not apply to any disclosure to any
Disqualified Person who is not a Company Competitor made after the occurrence
and during the continuation of an Event of Default).
(g)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any
Lender may at any time and from time to 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 any pledge or assignment to secure
obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided, that no such pledge may be made
to a Disqualified Person (except that the restriction of this proviso shall not
apply to any pledge to any Disqualified Person who is not a Company Competitor
made after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default);
provided, further, that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender
from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee
for such Lender as a party hereto.
4.Application of Payments. Administrative Agent shall have the continuing and
exclusive right to apply or reverse and re-apply any payment and any and all
proceeds of Collateral to any portion of the Obligations. To the extent that any
Borrower makes a payment or Administrative Agent or any Lender receives any
payment or proceeds of the Collateral for any Borrower’s benefit, which are
subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside
or required to be repaid to a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver, custodian
or any other party under any bankruptcy law, common law or equitable cause,
then, to such extent, the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied
shall be revived and continue as if such payment or proceeds had not been
received by Administrative Agent or such Lender.

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

5.Indemnity. Each Borrower shall defend, protect, indemnify, pay and save
harmless each Agent, Issuer, each Lender and each of their respective officers,
directors, Affiliates, attorneys, employees and agents (each an “Indemnified
Party”) for and from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, fines, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, charges, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever
(including fees and disbursements of counsel (including allocated costs of
internal counsel)) (collectively, “Claims”) which may be imposed on, incurred
by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party in arising out of or in any way
relating to or as a consequence, direct or indirect, of: (i) this Agreement, the
Other Documents, the Advances and other Obligations and/or the transactions
contemplated hereby including the Transactions, (ii) any action or failure to
act or action taken only after delay or the satisfaction of any conditions by
any Indemnified Party in connection with and/or relating to the negotiation,
execution, delivery or administration of the Agreement and the Other Documents,
the credit facilities established hereunder and thereunder and/or the
transactions contemplated hereby including the Transactions, (iii) any
Borrower’s or Guarantor’s failure to observe, perform or discharge any of its
covenants, obligations, agreements or duties under or breach of any of the
representations or warranties made in this Agreement and the Other Documents,
(iv) the enforcement of any of the rights and remedies of Administrative Agent,
Collateral Agent, Syndication Agent, Issuer or any Lender under the Agreement
and the Other Documents, (v) any threatened or actual imposition of fines or
penalties, or disgorgement of benefits, for violation of any Anti-Terrorism Law
by any Borrower, any Affiliate or Subsidiary of any Borrowers, or any Guarantor,
and (vi) any claim, litigation, proceeding or investigation instituted or
conducted by any Governmental Body or instrumentality or any other Person with
respect to any aspect of, or any transaction contemplated by, or referred to in,
or any matter related to, this Agreement or the Other Documents, whether or not
any Agent, Issuer or any Lender is a party thereto. Without limiting the
generality of any of the foregoing, each Borrower shall defend, protect,
indemnify, pay and save harmless each Indemnified Party from (x) any Claims
which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party
arising out of or in any way relating to or as a consequence, direct or
indirect, of the issuance of any Letter of Credit hereunder and (y) any Claims
which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party
under any Environmental Laws with respect to or in connection with the Real
Property, the presence or Release of any Hazardous Materials affecting the Real
Property (whether or not the same originates or emerges from the Real Property
or any contiguous real estate), including any Claims consisting of or relating
to the imposition or assertion of any Lien on any of the Real Property under any
Environmental Laws as a result of the foregoing except to the extent such loss,
liability, damage and expense is attributable to any Release of Hazardous
Materials resulting from actions on the part of any Agent or any Lender.
Borrowers’ obligations under this Section 16.5 shall arise upon the discovery of
the presence of any Hazardous Materials at the Real Property in violation of any
Environmental Law or in an amount that would require investigation or
remediation under any Environmental Law, whether or not any federal, state, or
local environmental agency has taken or threatened any action in connection with
the presence of any Hazardous Materials, in each such case except to the extent
that any of the foregoing arises out of the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Indemnified Party (as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment). Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, this indemnity shall extend to any liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including fees and
disbursements of counsel) asserted against or incurred by any of the Indemnified
Parties by any Person under any Environmental Laws or similar laws by reason of
any Borrower’s or any other Person’s failure to comply with laws applicable to
Hazardous Materials. This Section 16.5 shall not apply with respect to Taxes in
respect of payments for or on account of any Obligations under this Agreement or
under any Other Document (the indemnification of which is addressed in Section
3.11), but shall nonetheless apply to any Taxes that represent losses, claims,
damages, etc., arising from any other claim under this Section 16.5.
6.Notice. Any notice or request hereunder may be given to Borrowing Agent (on
behalf of itself or any Borrower) or to any Agent or any Lender at their
respective addresses set forth below or at such other address as may hereafter

3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.11, 16.5 and 16.9 and the obligations of Lenders under Sections
2.2, 2.15(b), 2.16, 2.18, 2.19, 14.8 and 16.5, shall survive termination of this
Agreement and the Other Documents and payment in full of the Obligations.
8.Severability. If any part of this Agreement is contrary to, prohibited by, or
deemed invalid under Applicable Laws, such provision shall be inapplicable and
deemed omitted to the extent so contrary, prohibited or invalid, but the
remainder hereof shall not be invalidated thereby and shall be given effect so
far as possible.
9.Expenses. Borrowers shall pay (a) all reasonable, documented out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by any Agent and their respective Affiliates (including the
reasonable, documented fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for each
Agent) in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for
herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of
this Agreement and the Other Documents (including, without limitation, any
expenses incurred by Administrative Agent and Lenders in connection with
post-closing matters set forth in Section 6.17) or any amendments, modifications
or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions

documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Issuer in connection with the
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand
for payment thereunder, (c) all reasonable, documented out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by any Agent, any Lender or Issuer (including the reasonable,
documented fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for such Agent, such

rights (i) in connection with this Agreement and the Other Documents, including
its rights under this Section, or (ii) in connection with the Advances 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
Advances or Letters of Credit, and (d) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of
each Agent’s regular employees and agents engaged periodically to perform audits
of any Borrower’s or any Borrower’s Affiliate’s or Subsidiary’s books, records
and business properties.
10.Injunctive Relief. Each Borrower recognizes that, in the event any Borrower
fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its obligations or liabilities
under this Agreement, or threatens to fail to perform, observe or discharge such
obligations or liabilities, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief
to Lenders; therefor, Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, if such Agent
so requests, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in
any such case without the necessity of proving that actual damages are not an
adequate remedy.
11.Consequential Damages. Neither any Agent nor any Lender, nor any agent or
attorney for any of them, shall be liable to any Borrower, or any Guarantor (or
any Affiliate of any such Person) for indirect, punitive, exemplary or
consequential damages arising from any breach of contract, tort or other wrong
relating to the establishment, administration or collection of the Obligations
or as a result of any transaction contemplated under this Agreement or any Other
Document.
12.Captions. The captions at various places in this Agreement are intended for
convenience only and do not constitute and shall not be interpreted as part of
this Agreement.
13.Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in any
number of and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, all of
which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts
shall constitute one and the same agreement. Any signature delivered by a party
by facsimile or electronic transmission (including email transmission of a PDF
image) shall be deemed to be an original signature hereto.
14.Construction. The parties acknowledge that each party and its counsel have
reviewed this Agreement and that the normal rule of construction to the effect
that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be
employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any amendments, schedules or
exhibits thereto.

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

15.Confidentiality; Sharing Information. Each Agent, each Lender and each
Transferee shall hold all non-public information obtained by such Agent, such
Lender or such Transferee pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement in
accordance with such Agent’s, such Lender’s and such Transferee’s customary
procedures for handling confidential information of this nature; provided,
however, each Agent, each Lender and each Transferee may disclose such
confidential information (a) to its examiners, Affiliates, outside auditors,
counsel and other professional advisors, (b) to any Agent, any Lender or to any
prospective Transferees, and (c) as required or requested by any Governmental
Body or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process; provided, further
that (i) unless specifically prohibited by Applicable Law, each Agent, each
Lender and each Transferee shall use its reasonable best efforts prior to
disclosure thereof, to notify the applicable Borrower of the applicable request
for disclosure of such non-public information (A) by a Governmental Body or
representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with an
examination of the financial condition of a Lender or a Transferee by such
Governmental Body) or (B) pursuant to legal process and (ii) in no event shall
any Agent, any Lender or any Transferee be obligated to return any materials
furnished by any Borrower other than those documents and instruments in
possession of any Agent or any Lender in order to perfect its Lien on the
Collateral once the Obligations have been paid in full and this Agreement has
been terminated. Each Borrower acknowledges that from time to time financial
advisory, investment banking and other services may be offered or provided to
such Borrower or one or more of its Affiliates (in connection with this
Agreement or otherwise) by any Lender or by one or more Subsidiaries or
Affiliates of such Lender and each Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender to
share any information delivered to such Lender by such Borrower and its
Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement, or in connection with the decision of
such Lender to enter into this Agreement, to any such Subsidiary or Affiliate of
such Lender, it being understood that any such Subsidiary or Affiliate of any
Lender receiving such information shall be bound by the provisions of this
Section 16.15 as if it were a Lender hereunder. Such authorization shall survive
the repayment of the other Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding any non-disclosure agreement or similar document executed by
Administrative Agent in favor of any Borrower or any of any Borrower’s
affiliates, the provisions of this Agreement shall supersede such agreements.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no material
non-public information obtained by the Administrative Agent or any Lender
pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement shall be disclosed at any time to
a Company Competitor without the express consent of NESL.
16.Publicity. Each Borrower and each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative
Agent to make appropriate announcements of the financial arrangement entered
into among Borrowers, the Agents and Lenders, including announcements which are
commonly known as tombstones, in such publications and to such selected parties
as Administrative Agent shall in its sole and absolute discretion deem
appropriate.
17.Certifications from Banks and Participants; USA PATRIOT Act.
(a)Each Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender that is not incorporated
under the Laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (and is not
excepted from the certification requirement contained in Section 313 of the USA
PATRIOT Act and the applicable regulations because it is both (i) an affiliate
of a depository institution or foreign bank that maintains a physical presence
in the United States or foreign country, and (ii) subject to supervision by a
banking authority regulating such affiliated depository institution or foreign
bank) shall deliver to Administrative Agent the certification, or, if
applicable, recertification, certifying that such Lender is not a “shell” and
certifying to other matters as required by Section 313 of the USA PATRIOT Act
and the applicable regulations: (1) within ten (10) days after the Closing Date,
and (2) as such other times as are required under the USA PATRIOT Act.
(b)The USA PATRIOT Act requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and
record certain information that identifies individuals or business entities
which open an “account” with such financial institution. Consequently, Lender
may from time to time request, and each Borrower shall provide to Lender, such
Borrower’s name, address, tax identification number and/or such other
identifying information as shall be necessary for Lender to comply with the USA
PATRIOT Act and any other Anti-Terrorism Law.
18.Anti-Terrorism, Anti-Corruption and AML Laws.
(a)Each Borrower represents and warrants that (i) no Covered Entity is a
Sanctioned Person and (ii) no Covered Entity, either in its own right or through
any third party, (A) has any of its assets in a Sanctioned Country or in the
possession, custody or control of a Sanctioned Person in violation of any
Anti-Terrorism Law; (B) does business in or with, or derives any of its income
from investments in or transactions with, any Sanctioned Country or Sanctioned
Person in violation of any Anti-Terrorism Law; or (C) engages in any dealings or
transactions prohibited by any Anti-Terrorism Law.
(b)Each Borrower covenants and agrees that (i) no Covered Entity will become a
Sanctioned Person, (ii) no Covered Entity, either in its own right or through
any third party, will (A) have any of its assets in a Sanctioned Country or in
