the Financing Agreements (including Section 9.7 or 9.10 of the Loan Agreement), Agent and Lenders hereby consent to (a) the Specified Merger in accordance with the terms set forth in the Specified Merger Agreement (without giving effect to

Specified Merger of less than 10% of such purchase price is hereby deemed not to be materially adverse to Agent and Lenders) and (b) all of the transactions contemplated by the Specified Merger Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt,
the incurrence or assumption of any Indebtedness of the Acquired Business to the extent that such Indebtedness is permitted under Section 4.09 of the Specified Merger Agreement to remain outstanding immediately following 

the consummation of the Specified Merger); provided, that, each of the following conditions precedent has been satisfied:

for in the Specified Merger Agreement; and 
 (d) Agent shall have received a certificate of the chief financial
officer or chief executive officer of Parent certifying on behalf of Parent to Agent and Lenders that the Specified Merger complies with the foregoing conditions precedent. 
 Upon the written request of Parent following the satisfaction of the conditions precedent in clauses (a) through (d) above, Agent shall promptly confirm in writing the satisfaction of such
conditions precedent. Immediately upon the satisfaction of the foregoing conditions precedent, the Specified Merger shall be deemed to be a Permitted Acquisition for all purposes of the Loan Agreement and the other Financing Agreements, without the
necessity of satisfying any of the conditions set forth in the definition of Permitted Acquisition (except that the consideration paid for the Specified Merger shall be disregarded for the purpose of any determination made at any time under clause
(i) of the definition of Permitted Acquisition). 
 No Accounts, Real Property or Equipment of the Acquired Company or its Subsidiaries
shall be Eligible Accounts, Eligible Real Property or Eligible Equipment, respectively, until Agent has completed a field examination with respect to the business and assets of the Acquired Company and its Subsidiaries in accordance with
Agent’s customary procedures and practices and as otherwise required by the nature and circumstances of the business of the Acquired Company and its Subsidiaries, the scope and results of which shall be reasonably satisfactory to Agent (which
field examination may occur before the date of the Specified Merger), and the criteria for Eligible Accounts, Eligible Real Property or Eligible Equipment set forth herein are satisfied with respect thereto in accordance with the Loan Agreement or
such other or additional criteria as Agent may, at its option, establish with respect thereto in accordance with the definitions of Eligible Accounts, Eligible Real Property and Eligible Equipment, as applicable, and subject to such Reserves as
Agent may establish in its Permitted Discretion in connection with the assets of the Acquired Company and its Subsidiaries to be included in the Borrowing Base in accordance with the definition of Reserves, and in the case of Eligible Real Property
or Eligible Equipment, to the extent that it has been subject to an appraisal that satisfies the requirements of Section 7.4 of the Loan Agreement (which appraisal may occur before the date of the Specified Merger); provided, that,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Amendment No. 4 or the Loan Agreement, (i) Borrowers shall reimburse Agent for the reasonable costs and expenses of any field examination and appraisal conducted pursuant to this
paragraph and (ii) any field examination and appraisal conducted pursuant hereto shall be in addition to any field 

  
 3 

 
examination and appraisal contemplated by Sections 7.4 and 7.7 of the Loan Agreement. Nothing contained in this Amendment No. 4 shall modify or otherwise limit the obligations of Borrowers
and Guarantors to comply with the terms of Section 9.22 of the Loan Agreement. 
 3. Consent to Indebtedness.
Notwithstanding anything set forth in the Financing Agreements (including under Section 9.9 of the Loan Agreement), Agent and Lenders hereby consent to Borrowers and the Guarantors incurring, creating, assuming, becoming or being liable in any
manner with respect to, or permitting to exist, any Indebtedness constituting the New Debt or any guarantees thereof and the use of all or part of the proceeds thereof to repay all or any portion of the Senior Secured Notes (including the payment of
any applicable premiums, make-whole payments, penalties, fees, charges, expenses and accrued interest); provided, that, each of the following conditions precedent has been satisfied with respect to any such New Debt (or, in the case of

principal prior to the Maturity Date (including any sinking fund payments or similar type of payments), except as permitted by clause (d) below; 
 (d) the terms of the New Debt shall not require Borrowers and Guarantors, directly or indirectly, to (i) make any payments in respect of any New Debt; provided, that, notwithstanding anything in the
Loan Agreement or any other Financing Agreement to the contrary, (A) Borrowers and Guarantors may make regularly scheduled payments of interest in respect of such New Debt, (B) Borrowers and Guarantors may pay fees, prepayment premiums,
original issue discount, expenses and indemnities incurred in connection therewith, (C) Borrowers and Guarantors may repay the outstanding principal amount of such New Debt plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon on or after the Maturity Date,
(D) Borrowers and Guarantors may make mandatory prepayments in respect of such New Debt (or any Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of the New Debt) with (w) any proceeds of New Debt that are maintained in an escrow account if the
Specified Merger does not occur by September 15, 2012, (x) in the case of Bridge Loans (or any Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of the Bridge Loans), to the extent outstanding at any time on or before the first anniversary of the
Specified Merger, (1) the proceeds of issuances of equity securities issued by Parent, (2) the proceeds of other New Debt not constituting Bridge Loans, (3) the proceeds of issuances of other Indebtedness permitted under the Loan
Agreement (as in effect immediately before giving effect to this Amendment No. 4) other than proceeds of Indebtedness under the Loan Agreement and other exceptions set forth therein, or (4) the proceeds of asset sales and casualty
insurance not required to prepay the Obligations or the Senior Secured Notes (subject 

  
 4 

 
to the terms of the New Debt Intercreditor Agreement defined below), (y) in the case of any other New Debt (or any Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of such other New Debt), the proceeds

occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default under the documents governing the New Debt (or any Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of the New Debt), and (E) Borrowers and Guarantors may make payments in respect of the New Debt
(or any Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of the New Debt) with the proceeds of other Refinancing Indebtedness permitted under Section 9.9(i) of the Loan Agreement, or (ii) redeem, retire, defease, purchase or otherwise acquire such New
Debt, or set aside or otherwise deposit or invest any sums for such purpose (other than (x) with proceeds of Refinancing Indebtedness, to the extent permitted under Section 9.9(i) of the Loan Agreement and to the extent permitted with
respect to the Indebtedness so extended, refinanced, replaced, exchanged or substituted for, or (y) to the extent permitted under clause (i)(D) of this Section (d) above); 

(e) Borrowers and Guarantors shall furnish to Agent copies of all notices or demands in connection with New Debt received
by any Borrower or Guarantor or on its behalf promptly after the receipt thereof or sent by any Borrower or Guarantor or on its behalf concurrently with the sending thereof, as the case may be; and 

(f) the New Debt shall not have a final maturity date earlier than August 23, 2014 and shall not require any
regularly scheduled principal payments prior to August 23, 2014.

the New Debt) and the guarantees thereof and the filing and remaining in effect of any financing statement or other similar notice of any security interest with respect thereto; provided, that, such security interests and liens shall
be subject and subordinate to the security interests and liens of Agent pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement or another intercreditor agreement (collectively, the “New Debt Intercreditor Agreement”) reasonably satisfactory to Agent (it
being agreed that (a) an intercreditor agreement that is substantially identical to the Intercreditor Agreement will be deemed to be satisfactory to Agent, and (b) Agent will not have a lien on any escrow account which solely and
exclusively contains proceeds of the New Debt and any amounts required to be maintained therein to pay interest on the New Debt that is due and payable on or before the earlier of September 15, 2012 or the date of the consummation of the
Specified Merger). All such security interests and liens shall be deemed to be Permitted Liens for all purposes of the Loan Agreement and the other Financing Agreements.
