	Exchange Offer

	(a)
	Unless

(i) prepare and file with the SEC promptly after the date hereof, but in no event later than the Filing Date, a registration statement (the "Exchange Registration
Statement") on an appropriate form under the Securities Act with respect to an offer (the "Exchange Offer") to the Holders of
Notes to issue and deliver to such Holders, in exchange for the Notes, a like principal amount of Exchange Notes, (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Exchange Registration
Statement to be declared effective as promptly as practicable after the filing thereof, but in no event later than the Effectiveness Date, (iii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep
the Exchange Registration Statement effective until the consummation of the Exchange Offer in accordance with its terms, and (iv) commence the Exchange Offer and use its commercially reasonable
efforts to issue on or prior to 30 Business Days after the date on which the Exchange Registration Statement is declared effective, Exchange Notes in exchange for all Notes tendered prior thereto in
the Exchange Offer. The Exchange Offer shall not be subject to any conditions, other than that the Exchange Offer does not violate applicable law or any applicable interpretation of the staff of the
SEC.

	(b)
	The
Exchange Notes shall be issued under, and entitled to the benefits of, (i) the Indenture or a trust indenture that is identical to the Indenture
(other than such changes as are necessary to comply with any requirements of the SEC to effect or maintain the qualifications thereof under the TIA) and (ii) the Collateral Agreements.

	(c)
	Interest
on the Exchange Notes and Private Exchange Notes will accrue from the last interest payment due date on which interest was paid on the Notes
surrendered in exchange therefor or, if no interest has been paid on the Notes, from the date of original issue of the Notes. Each Exchange Note and Private Exchange Note shall bear interest at the
rate set forth thereon; provided, that interest with respect to the period prior to the issuance thereof shall accrue at the rate or rates borne by the
Notes from time to time during such period.

	(d)
	The
Company may require each Holder as a condition to participation in the Exchange Offer to represent (i) that any Exchange Notes received by it
will be acquired in the ordinary course of its business, (ii) that at the time of the commencement and consummation of the Exchange Offer such Holder has not entered into any arrangement or
understanding with any Person to participate in the distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of the Exchange Notes in violation of the provisions of the Securities Act,
(iii) that if such Holder is an "affiliate" of the either of the Company within the meaning of Rule 405 of the Securities Act, it will comply with the registration and prospectus
delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable to it, (iv) if such Holder is not a broker-dealer, that it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, the
distribution of the Notes and (v) if such Holder is a Participating Broker-Dealer, that it will deliver a Prospectus in connection with any resale of the Exchange Notes.

	(e)
	The
Company shall (and shall cause each Subsidiary Guarantor to) include within the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Registration Statement a section
entitled "Plan of Distribution" reasonably acceptable to the Initial Purchasers which shall contain a summary 

4

 

statement
of the positions taken or policies made by the staff of the SEC with respect to the potential "underwriter" status of any broker-dealer that is the beneficial owner (as defined in
Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of Exchange Notes received by such broker-dealer in the Exchange Offer for its own account in exchange for Notes that were acquired by it as a
result of market-making or other trading activity (a "Participating Broker-Dealer"), whether such positions or policies have been publicly disseminated
by the staff of the SEC or such positions or policies, in the judgment of the Initial Purchasers, represent the prevailing views of the staff of the SEC. Such "Plan of Distribution" section shall also
allow, to the extent permitted by applicable policies and regulations of the SEC, the use of the Prospectus by all Persons subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act,
including, to the extent so permitted, all Participating Broker-Dealers, and include a statement describing the manner in which Participating Broker-Dealers may resell the Exchange Notes. The Company
shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Exchange Registration Statement effective and to amend and supplement the Prospectus contained therein, in order to permit such Prospectus to
be lawfully delivered by all Persons subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act for such period of time as such Persons must comply with such requirements in order to resell
the Exchange Notes (the "Applicable Period").  

	(f)
	If,
upon consummation of the Exchange Offer, any Initial Purchaser holds any Notes acquired by such Initial Purchaser and having the status of an unsold
allotment in the initial distribution, the Company (upon the written request from such Initial Purchaser) shall, simultaneously with the delivery of the Exchange Notes in the Exchange Offer, issue and
deliver to such Initial Purchaser, in exchange (the "Private Exchange") for the Notes held by such Initial Purchaser, a like principal amount of Senior
Secured Notes that are identical to the Exchange Notes except for the existence of restrictions on transfer thereof under the Securities Act and securities laws of the several states of the United
States (the "Private Exchange Notes") (and which are issued pursuant to the same indenture as the Exchange Notes). The Private Exchange Notes shall bear
the same CUSIP number as the Exchange Notes.

	(g)
	In
connection with the Exchange Offer, the Company shall (and shall cause each Subsidiary Guarantor to):

	(i)
	mail
to each Holder a copy of the Prospectus forming part of the Exchange Registration Statement, together with an appropriate letter of transmittal that is
an exhibit to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, and any related documents;

	(ii)
	keep
the Exchange Offer open for not less than 20 Business Days after the date notice thereof is mailed to the Holders (or longer if required by applicable
law);

	(iii)
	utilize
the services of a depository for the Exchange Offer with an address in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, which may be the Trustee or
an affiliate thereof;

	(iv)
	permit
Holders to withdraw tendered Registrable Notes at any time prior to the close of business, New York time, on the last Business Day on which the
Exchange Offer shall remain open; and

	(v)
	otherwise
comply in all material respects with all applicable laws.

	(h)
	As
soon as practicable after the close of the Exchange Offer or the Private Exchange, as the case may be, the Company shall (and shall cause each Subsidiary
Guarantor to):

	(i)
	accept
for exchange all Registrable Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer or the Private Exchange, as the case may be, and not validly
withdrawn;

	(ii)
	deliver
to the Trustee for cancellation all Registrable Notes so accepted for exchange; and 

5

 

	(iii)
	cause
the Trustee to authenticate and deliver promptly to each Holder tendering such Registrable Notes, Exchange Notes or Private Exchange Notes, as the
case may be, equal in principal amount to the Notes of such Holder so accepted for exchange.

	(i)
	The
Exchange Notes and the Private Exchange Notes may be issued under (i) the Indenture or (ii) an indenture identical to the Indenture (other
than such changes as are necessary to comply with any requirements of the SEC to effect or maintain the qualification thereof under the TIA), which in either event will provide that the Exchange Notes
will not be subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in the Indenture, that the Private Exchange Notes will be subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in the Indenture, and that the
Exchange Notes, the Private Exchange Notes and the Notes, if any, will be deemed one class of security (subject to the provisions of the Indenture) and entitled to participate in all the security
granted by the Company pursuant to the Collateral Agreements and in any Subsidiary Guarantee (as such terms are defined in the Indenture) on an equal and ratable basis.

	(j)
	If:
(i) prior to the consummation of the Exchange Offer, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Registrable Notes determines in
its or their reasonable judgment that (A) the Exchange Notes would not, upon receipt, be tradeable by the Holders thereof without restriction under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and
without material restrictions under applicable Blue Sky or state securities laws, or (B) the interests of the Holders under this Agreement, taken as a whole, would be materially adversely
affected by the consummation of the Exchange Offer; (ii) applicable interpretations of the staff of the SEC would not permit the consummation of the Exchange Offer prior to the Effectiveness
Date; (iii) subsequent to the consummation of the Private Exchange, any Holder of Private Exchange Notes so requests; (iv) the Exchange Offer is not consummated within 300 days of
the Closing Date for any reason; or (v) in the case of (A) any Holder not permitted by applicable law or SEC policy to participate in the Exchange Offer, (B) any Holder
participating in the Exchange Offer that receives Exchange Notes that may not be sold without restriction under state and federal securities laws (other than due solely to the status of such Holder as
an affiliate of the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act) or (C) any broker-dealer that holds Notes acquired directly from the Company or any of its affiliates and, in each such
case contemplated by this clause (v), such Holder notifies the Company within six months of consummation of the Exchange Offer, then the Company shall promptly (and in any event within five
Business Days) deliver to the Holders (or in the case of an occurrence of any event described in clause (v) of this Section 2(j), to any such Holder) and the Trustee notice thereof (the
"Shelf Notice") and shall as promptly as possible thereafter file an Initial Shelf Registration pursuant to Section 3.

 

	3.
	Shelf Registration

        If
a Shelf Notice is delivered pursuant to Section 2(j), then this Section 3 shall apply to all Registrable Notes. Otherwise, upon consummation of the Exchange Offer in
accordance with Section 2, the
provisions of Section 3 shall apply solely with respect to (i) Notes held by any Holder thereof not permitted to participate in the Exchange Offer, (ii) Notes held by any
broker-dealer that acquired such Notes directly from the Company or any of its affiliates and (iii) Exchange Notes that are not freely tradeable as contemplated by Section 2(j)(v)
hereof, provided in each case that the relevant Holder has duly notified the Company within six months of the Exchange Offer as required by Section 2(j)(v).  

	(a)
	Initial Shelf Registration. The Company shall (and shall cause each Subsidiary Guarantor to), as promptly as
practicable, file with the SEC a Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 covering all of the Registrable Notes (the
"Initial Shelf Registration"). If the Company (and any Subsidiary Guarantor) has not yet filed an Exchange Registration Statement, the Company shall
(and shall cause each Subsidiary 

6

 

Guarantor
to) file with the SEC the Initial Shelf Registration on or prior to the Filing Date and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Initial Shelf Registration to be declared
effective under the Securities Act on or prior to the Effectiveness Date. Otherwise, the Company shall (and shall cause each Subsidiary Guarantor to) use its commercially reasonable efforts to file
with the SEC the Initial Shelf Registration within 30 days of the delivery of the Shelf Notice and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Shelf Registration to be declared
effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable thereafter (but in no event more than 90 days after delivery of the Shelf Notice). The Initial Shelf Registration shall be on
Form S-1 or another appropriate form permitting registration of such Registrable Notes for resale by Holders in the manner or manners reasonably designated by them (including,
without limitation, one or more underwritten offerings). The Company and Subsidiary Guarantors shall not permit any securities other than the Registrable Notes to be included in any Shelf
Registration. The Company shall (and shall cause each Subsidiary Guarantor to) use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Initial Shelf Registration continuously effective under the
Securities Act until the date which is two years from the Closing Date (subject to extension pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 6(w) (the "Effectiveness
Period"), or such shorter period ending when (i) all Registrable Notes covered by the Initial Shelf Registration have been sold in the manner set forth and as
contemplated in the Initial Shelf Registration (ii) a Subsequent Shelf Registration covering all of the Registrable Notes covered by and not sold under the Initial Shelf Registration or an
earlier Subsequent Shelf Registration has been declared effective under the Securities Act or (iii) there cease to be any outstanding Registrable Notes.  

	(b)
	Subsequent Shelf Registrations. If the Initial Shelf Registration or any Subsequent Shelf Registration (as
defined below) ceases to be effective for any reason at any time during the Effectiveness Period (other than because of the sale of all of the securities registered thereunder), the Company shall (and
shall cause each Subsidiary Guarantor to) use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness thereof, and in any event shall within
30 days of such cessation of effectiveness amend such Shelf Registration in a manner to obtain the withdrawal of the order suspending the effectiveness thereof, or file (and cause each
Subsidiary Guarantor to file) an additional "shelf" Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 415 covering all of the Registrable Notes (a "Subsequent Shelf
Registration"). If a Subsequent Shelf Registration is filed, the Company shall (and shall cause each Subsidiary Guarantor to) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause
the Subsequent Shelf Registration to be declared effective as soon as practicable after such filing and to keep such Subsequent Shelf Registration continuously effective for a period equal to the
number of days in the Effectiveness Period less the aggregate number of days during which the Initial Shelf Registration or any Subsequent Shelf Registration was previously continuously effective. As
used herein the term "Shelf Registration" means the Initial Shelf Registration and any Subsequent Shelf Registrations.

	(c)
	Supplements and Amendments. The Company shall promptly supplement and amend any Shelf Registration if
required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used for such Shelf Registration, if required by the Securities Act, or if reasonably requested in writing by the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Notes covered by such Shelf Registration or by any underwriter of such Registrable Notes.

	(d)
	Provision of Information. No Holder of Registrable Notes shall be entitled to include any of its Registrable
Notes in any Shelf Registration pursuant to this Agreement unless such Holder furnishes to the Company and the Trustee in writing, within 20 days after receipt of a written request therefor,
such information as the Company and the Trustee after conferring with 

7

 

counsel
with regard to information relating to Holders that would be required by the SEC to be included in such Shelf Registration or Prospectus included therein, may reasonably request for inclusion
in any Shelf Registration or Prospectus included therein, and no such Holder shall be entitled to Additional Interest pursuant to Section 4 hereof unless and until such Holder shall have
provided such information.  

	4.
	Additional Interest

	(a)
	The
Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that the Holders of Registrable Notes will suffer damages if the Company or any Subsidiary
Guarantor fails to fulfill its material obligations under Section 2 or Section 3 hereof and that it would not be feasible to ascertain the extent of such damages with precision.
Accordingly, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors agree to pay additional cash interest on the Notes ("Additional Interest") under the
circumstances and to the extent set forth below (each of which shall be given independent effect):

	(i)
	if
neither the Exchange Registration Statement nor the Initial Shelf Registration has been filed on or prior to the applicable Filing Date, Additional
Interest shall accrue on the Notes over and above any stated interest at a rate of 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of such Notes for the first 90 days immediately following the
applicable Filing Date, such Additional Interest rate increasing by an additional 0.25% per annum at the beginning of each subsequent 90-day period;

	(ii)
	if
neither the Exchange Registration Statement nor the Initial Shelf Registration is declared effective on or prior to the applicable Effectiveness Date,
Additional Interest shall accrue on the Notes over and above any stated interest at a rate of 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of such Notes for the first 90 days immediately following
the applicable Effectiveness Date, such Additional Interest rate increasing by an additional 0.25% per annum at the beginning of each subsequent 90-day period;

	(iii)
	if
(A) the Company (and any Subsidiary Guarantor) has not exchanged Exchange Notes for all Notes validly tendered in accordance with the terms of
the Exchange Offer on or prior to the 30 Business Days after the Effectiveness Date, (B) the Exchange Registration Statement ceases to be effective at any time prior to the time that the
Exchange Offer is consummated, (C) if applicable, a Shelf Registration has been declared effective and such Shelf Registration ceases to be effective at any time prior to the second anniversary
of its effective date (other than such time as all Notes have been disposed of thereunder) and is not declared effective again within 30 days, or (D) pending the announcement of a
material corporate transaction, event, occurrence or other item the Company issues a written notice pursuant to Section 6(e)(v) or (vi) that a Shelf Registration Statement or Exchange
Registration Statement is unusable and the aggregate number of days in any 365-day period for which all such notices issued or required to be issued, have been, or were required to be, in
effect exceeds 90 days in the aggregate or 30 days consecutively, in the case of a Shelf Registration statement, or 15 days in the aggregate in the case of an Exchange
Registration Statement, then Additional Interest shall accrue on the Notes, over and above any stated interest, at a rate of 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of such Notes commencing on
(w) the 31st Business Day after the Effectiveness Date, in the case of (A) above, or (x) the date the Exchange Registration Statement ceases to be effective without being
declared effective again within 30 days, in the case of clause (B) above, or (y) the day such Shelf Registration ceases to be effective in the case of (C) above, or
(z) the day the Exchange Registration Statement or Shelf Registration ceases to be usable in case of clause (D) above, such Additional Interest rate increasing 

8

 

by
an additional 0.25% per annum at the beginning of each such subsequent 90-day period; 

provided, however, that the maximum Additional Interest rate on the Notes may not exceed at any one time in the aggregate 1.00% per annum; and  provided further,
 that (1) upon the filing of the Exchange Registration Statement or Initial Shelf Registration (in the case of
(i) above), (2) upon the effectiveness of the Exchange Registration Statement or Initial Shelf Registration (in the case of (ii) above), or (3) upon the exchange of
Exchange Notes for all Notes tendered (in the case of (iii)(A) above), or upon the effectiveness of the Exchange Registration Statement that had ceased to remain effective (in the case of
clause (iii)(B) above), or upon the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration which had ceased to remain effective (in the case of (iii)(C) above), Additional Interest on the Notes as a result of
such clause (or the relevant subclause thereof) or upon the usability of such Registration Statement or Exchange Registration Statement (in the case of clause (iii)(D) above), as the case may
be, shall cease to accrue.  

	(b)
	The
Company shall notify the Trustee within 3 Business Days after each and every date on which an event occurs in respect of which Additional Interest is
required to be paid (an "Event Date"). Any amounts of Additional Interest due pursuant to clause (a)(i), (a)(ii) or (a)(iii) of this
Section 4 will be payable in cash, on the dates and in the manner provided in the Indenture and whether or not any cash interest would then be payable on such date, commencing with the first
such semi-annual date occurring after any such Additional Interest commences to accrue. The amount of Additional Interest will be determined by multiplying the applicable Additional
Interest rate by the principal amount of the Notes, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days such Additional Interest rate was applicable during such period (determined
on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months and, in the case of a partial month, the actual number of days elapsed), and the denominator of which is 360.

 

	5.
	Hold-Back Agreements

        The
Company agrees that it will not effect any public or private sale or distribution (including a sale pursuant to Regulation D under the Securities Act) of any securities the
same as or similar to those covered by a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 or 3 hereof (other than Additional Notes (as defined in the Indenture) issued under the Indenture),
or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, during the 10 days prior to, and during the 90-day period beginning on, the effective date of
any Registration Statement filed pursuant to Sections 2 and 3 hereof unless the Holders of a majority in the aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Notes to be included in such
Registration Statement consent, if the managing underwriter thereof so requests in writing.  

	6.
	Registration Procedures

        In
connection with the filing of any Registration Statement pursuant to Sections 2 or 3 hereof, the Company shall (and shall cause each Subsidiary Guarantor to) effect such
registrations to permit the sale of such securities covered thereby in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto and in connection with any
Registration Statement filed by the Company hereunder, the Company shall (and shall cause each Subsidiary Guarantor to): 

	(a)
	Prepare
and file with the SEC as soon as practicable after the date hereof but in any event on or prior to the Filing Date, the Exchange Registration
Statement or if the Exchange Registration Statement is not filed because of the circumstances contemplated by Section 2(j), a Shelf Registration as prescribed by Section 3, and use its
commercially reasonable efforts to cause each such Registration Statement to be declared effective and remain effective as 

9

 

provided
herein; provided that, if (1) a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3 or (2) a Prospectus contained in an
Exchange Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2 is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes during the
Applicable Period relating thereto, before filing any Registration Statement or Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto the Company shall (and shall cause each Subsidiary Guarantor to), if
requested, furnish to and afford the Holders of the Registrable Notes to be registered pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement, each Participating Broker-Dealer, the managing underwriters, if
any, and each of their respective counsel, a reasonable opportunity to review copies of all such documents (including copies of any documents to be incorporated by reference therein and all exhibits
thereto) proposed to be filed (in each case at least 5 Business Days prior to such filing). The Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall not file any such Registration Statement or Prospectus or
any amendments or supplements thereto in respect of which the Holders must provide information for the inclusion therein without the Holders being afforded an opportunity to review such documentation
if the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Notes covered by such Registration Statement, or any such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, the managing
underwriters, if any, or any of their respective counsel shall reasonably object in writing on a timely basis. A Holder shall be deemed to have reasonably objected to such filing if such Registration
Statement, amendment, Prospectus or supplement, as applicable, as proposed to be filed, contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading or fails to comply with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act.  

	(b)
	Provide
an indenture trustee for the Registrable Notes, the Exchange Notes or the Private Exchange Notes, as the case may be, and cause the Indenture (or
other indenture relating to the Registrable Notes) to be qualified under the TIA not later than the effective date of the first Registration Statement; and in connection therewith, to effect such
changes to such indenture as may be required for such indenture to be so qualified in accordance with the terms of the TIA; and execute, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such
trustee to execute, all documents as may be required to effect such changes, and all other forms and documents required to be filed with the SEC to enable such indenture to be so qualified in a timely
manner.

	(c)
	Prepare
and file with the SEC such pre-effective amendments and post-effective amendments to each Shelf Registration or Exchange
Registration Statement, as the case may be, as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective for the Effectiveness Period or the Applicable Period, as the case may be;
cause the related Prospectus to be supplemented by any Prospectus supplement required by applicable law, and as so supplemented to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (or any similar provisions then
in force) promulgated under the Securities Act; and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act applicable to them with respect to the disposition of all securities covered
by such Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented and with respect to the subsequent resale of any securities being sold by a Participating Broker-Dealer covered by
any such Prospectus. The Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall not, during the Applicable Period, voluntarily take any action that would result in selling Holders of the Registrable Notes
covered by a Registration Statement or Participating Broker-Dealers seeking to sell Exchange Notes not being able to sell such Registrable Notes or such Exchange Notes during that period, unless such
action is required by applicable law, rule or regulation or permitted by this Agreement.

	(d)
	Furnish
to such selling Holders and Participating Broker-Dealers who so request in writing (i) upon the Company's receipt, a copy of the order of the
SEC declaring such Registration Statement and any post effective amendment thereto effective, (ii) such reasonable number of copies of such Registration Statement and of each amendment and
supplement thereto (in each case including any documents incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits), (iii) such reasonable number of copies of the Prospectus included in such
Registration Statement (including each preliminary Prospectus) and each amendment and supplement thereto, and such reasonable number of copies of the final Prospectus as filed by the Company and each
Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and each amendment and supplement thereto, and (iv) such
other documents (including any amendments required to be filed pursuant to clause (c) of this Section), as any such Person may reasonably request in writing. The Company and the Subsidiary
Guarantors hereby consent to the use of the Prospectus by each of the selling Holders of Registrable Notes or each such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, and the underwriters or agents,
if any, and dealers, if any, in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Notes covered by, or the sale by Participating Broker-Dealers of the Exchange Notes pursuant to, such
Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto.

	(e)
	If
(1) a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3, or (2) a Prospectus contained in an Exchange Registration Statement filed
pursuant to Section 2 is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes during the Applicable Period relating thereto, the
Company shall notify in writing the selling Holders of Registrable Notes, or each such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, the managing underwriters, if any, and each of their respective
counsel promptly (but in any event within 2 Business Days) (i) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and, with respect to a
Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective (including in such notice a written statement that any Holder may, upon request, obtain, without
charge, one conformed copy of such Registration Statement or post-effective amendment including financial statements and schedules, documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by
reference and exhibits), (ii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or of any order preventing or suspending the use of any
Prospectus or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (iii) if at any time when a Prospectus is required by the Securities Act to be delivered in connection with sales of the
Registrable Notes the representations and warranties of the Company and any Subsidiary Guarantor contained in any agreement (including any underwriting agreement) contemplated by Section 6(n)
hereof cease to be true and correct, (iv) of the receipt by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from
qualification of a Registration Statement or any of the Registrable Notes or the Exchange Notes to be sold by any Participating Broker-Dealer for offer or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation
or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose, (v) of the happening of any event, the existence of any condition of any information becoming known that makes any statement made in such
Registration Statement or related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires the making of any changes
in, or amendments or supplements to, such Registration Statement, Prospectus or documents so that, in the case of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, it will not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading, (vi) of any reasonable determination by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor 

11

 

that
a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would be appropriate and (vii) of any request by the SEC for amendments to the Registration Statement or supplements to
the Prospectus or for additional information relating thereto.  

	(f)
	Use
its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or of any order
preventing or suspending the use of a Prospectus or suspending the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Notes or the Exchange Notes to be sold by any Participating
Broker-Dealer, for sale in any jurisdiction, and, if any such order is issued, to use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any such order at the earliest possible date.

	(g)
	If
(A) a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3, (B) a Prospectus contained in an Exchange Registration Statement filed
pursuant to Section 2 is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes during the Applicable Period or
(C) reasonably requested in writing by the managing underwriters, if any, or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Notes being sold in connection with an
underwritten offering, (i) promptly incorporate in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information or revisions to information therein relating to such
underwriters or selling Holders as the managing underwriters, if any, or such Holders or any of their respective counsel reasonably request in writing to be included or made therein and
(ii) make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or such post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after the Company has received notification of the matters to be
incorporated in such Prospectus supplements or post-effective amendment.

	(h)
	Prior
to any public offering of Registrable Notes or any delivery of a Prospectus contained in the Exchange Registration Statement by any Participating
Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes during the Applicable Period, use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify, and to cooperate with the selling Holders of Registrable
Notes or each such Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, the underwriters, if any, and their respective counsel in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from such
registration or qualification) of such Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes, as the case may be, for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States
as any selling Holder, Participating Broker-Dealer or any managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, reasonably request in writing; provided that
where Exchange Notes held by Participating Broker-Dealers or Registrable Notes are offered other than through an underwritten offering, the Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor agree to cause its
counsel to perform Blue Sky investigations and file any registrations and qualifications required to be filed pursuant to this Section 6(h), keep each such registration or qualification (or
exemption therefrom) effective during the period such Registration Statement is required to be kept effective and do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the
disposition in such jurisdictions of the Exchange Notes held by Participating Broker-Dealers or the Registrable Notes covered by the applicable Registration Statement;  provided that neither the Company
nor any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be required to (A) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction
where it is not then so qualified, (B) take any action that would subject it to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or (C) subject itself
to taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject.

	(i)
	If
(A) a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3 or (B) a Prospectus contained in an Exchange Registration Statement filed
pursuant to Section 2 is requested to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes during the Applicable Period, cooperate with the
selling Holders of Registrable Notes and the 

12

 

managing
underwriter or underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Notes to be sold, which certificates shall not bear any
restrictive legends and shall be in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company, and enable
such Registrable Notes to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, or Holders may reasonably request.  

	(j)
	Use
its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registrable Notes covered by any Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such
governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the seller or sellers thereof or the underwriter, if any, to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Notes, except as may be
required solely as a consequence of the nature of such selling Holder's business, in which case the Company shall (and shall cause each Subsidiary Guarantor to) cooperate in all reasonable respects
with the filing of such Registration Statement and the granting of such approvals; provided that neither the Company nor any existing Subsidiary
Guarantor shall be required to (A) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified, (B) take any action that would subject it to general service of
process in any jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or (C) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject.

	(k)
	If

pursuant to Section 2 is required to be delivered under the Securities Act by any Participating Broker-Dealer who seeks to sell Exchange Notes during the Applicable Period, upon the occurrence
of any event contemplated by paragraph 6(e)(v) or 6(e)(vi) hereof, as promptly as practicable, prepare and file with the SEC, at the expense of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors , a
supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by
reference, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Notes being sold thereunder or to the purchasers of the Exchange Notes to whom such
Prospectus will be delivered by a Participating Broker-Dealer, such Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and, if SEC review is required, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause
such post-effective amendment to be declared effective as soon as possible.

	(l)
	Use
its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registrable Notes covered by a Registration Statement to be rated with such appropriate rating
agencies, if so requested in writing by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Notes covered by such Registration Statement or the managing underwriter or
underwriters, if any.

	(m)

the Registration Statement, Prospectus and documents, if any, incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein, in each case, in form, substance and scope as are customarily made by
issuers to underwriters in underwritten offerings of debt securities similar to the Notes, as may be appropriate in the circumstances, and confirm the same if and when reasonably required;
(ii) obtain an opinion of counsel to the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors and updates thereof (which counsel and opinions (in form, scope and substance) shall be reasonably satisfactory to
the managing underwriters, if any, and the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Notes being sold), addressed to each selling Holder and each of the underwriters, if
any, covering the matters customarily covered in opinions of counsel to the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors requested in underwritten offerings of debt securities similar to the Notes, as may be
appropriate in the circumstances; (iii) obtain "cold comfort" letters and updates thereof (which letters and updates (in form, scope and substance) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the

the underwriting agreement or other similar agreement entered into by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor.  

	(o)
	If
(1) a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 3, or (2) a Prospectus contained in an Exchange Registration Statement filed

due diligence responsibilities, and cause the officers, directors and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries to supply all information reasonably requested in writing by any such Inspector in
connection with such Registration Statement. Each Inspector shall agree in writing that it will keep the Records confidential and not disclose any of the Records unless (i) the disclosure of
such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in such Registration Statement, (ii) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a

reasonable
written opinion of counsel for any Inspector, necessary or advisable in connection with any action, claim, suit or proceeding, directly or indirectly, involving or potentially involving

each such Participating Broker-Dealer will be required to agree that information obtained by it as a result of such inspections shall be deemed confidential and shall not be used by it as the basis
for any market transactions in the securities of the Company unless and until such is made generally available to the public. Each Inspector, each selling Holder of such Registrable Notes and each
such Participating Broker-Dealer will be required to further agree that it will, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in a court of competent jurisdiction, give notice to the
Company and, to the extent practicable, use its commercially reasonable efforts to allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of the Records deemed
confidential at its expense.  

	(p)
	Comply
with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and make generally available to the security holders of the Company with regard to any

underwriters in such an offering, commencing on the first day of the first fiscal quarter of the Company after the effective date of a Registration Statement, which statements shall cover said
12-month periods.

	(q)
	Upon
consummation of an Exchange Offer or Private Exchange, obtain an opinion of counsel to the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors (in form, scope and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Jefferies), addressed to the Trustee for the benefit of all Holders participating in the Exchange Offer or Private Exchange, as the case may be, to the effect that
(i) the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors have duly authorized, executed and delivered the Exchange Notes or the Private Exchange Notes, as the case may be, and the Indenture,
(ii) the Exchange Notes or the Private Exchange Notes, as the case may be, and the Indenture constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors,
enforceable against the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforcement may be subject to customary United States and foreign exceptions and
(iii) all obligations of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors under the Exchange Notes or the Private Exchange Notes, as the case may be, and the Indenture are secured by Liens (as defined
in the Indenture) on the assets securing the obligations of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors under the Notes, Indenture and Collateral Agreements to the extent and as discussed in the
Registration Statement.

	(r)

the Exchange Offer or a Private Exchange is to be consummated, upon delivery of the Registrable Notes by the Holders to the Company and the Subsidiary
Guarantors (or to such other Person as directed by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors) in exchange for the Exchange Notes or the Private Exchange Notes, as the case may be, the Company and the
Subsidiary Guarantors shall mark, or caused to be marked, on such Registrable Notes that the Exchange Notes or the Private Exchange Notes, as the case may be, are being issued as substitute evidence
of the indebtedness originally evidenced by the Registrable Notes; provided that in no event shall such Registrable Notes be marked as paid or otherwise
satisfied. 

15

 

	(s)
	Cooperate
with each seller of Registrable Notes covered by any Registration Statement and each underwriter, if any, participating in the disposition of such
Registrable Notes and their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with FINRA.

Company may require each seller of Registrable Notes or Participating Broker-Dealer as to which any registration is being effected to furnish to the
Company such information regarding such seller or Participating Broker-Dealer and the distribution of such Registrable Notes as the Company may, from time to time, reasonably request in writing. The
Company may exclude from such registration the Registrable Notes of any seller who fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time (which time in no event shall exceed 30 days,
subject to Section 3(d) hereof) after receiving such request. Each seller of Registrable Notes or Participating Broker-Dealer as to which any registration is being effected agrees to furnish
promptly to the Company all information required to be disclosed in order to make the information previously furnished by such seller not materially misleading.

	(w)
	Each
Holder of Registrable Notes and each Participating Broker-Dealer agrees by acquisition of such Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes to be sold by such
Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 6(e)(ii), 6(e)(iv), 6(e)(v), or
6(e)(vi), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Notes covered by a Registration Statement and such Participating Broker-Dealer will forthwith discontinue disposition
of such Exchange Notes pursuant to any Prospectus and, in each case, forthwith discontinue dissemination of such Prospectus until such Holder's or Participating Broker-Dealer's receipt of the copies

Subsidiary Guarantors that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any amendments or supplements thereto and, if so directed by the Company and the Subsidiary
Guarantors, such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer, as the case may be, will deliver to the Company all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in such Holder's or Participating
Broker-Dealer's possession, of the Prospectus covering such Registrable Notes current at the time of the receipt of such notice. In the event the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall give any
such notice, the Applicable Period shall be extended by the number of days during such periods from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the date when each
Participating Broker-Dealer shall have received (x) the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 6(k) or (y) the Advice.

	Indemnification by the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors. The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors
jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of Registrable Notes, Exchange Notes or Private Exchange Notes and each Participating Broker-Dealer selling Exchange Notes during

directors and partners of each such Holder, Participating Broker-Dealer and controlling person, to the fullest extent lawful, from 

17

 

and
against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable costs of preparation and reasonable attorneys' fees as provided in this Section 8)
and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing, pursuing or defending against any of the foregoing) (collectively,
"Losses"), as incurred, directly or indirectly caused by, related to, based upon, arising out of or in connection with any untrue or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any preliminary prospectus, or any omission or
alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading,
except insofar as such Losses are solely based upon information relating to such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer and furnished in writing to the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors (or
reviewed and approved in writing) by such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer or their counsel expressly for use therein; provided,  however, that the
Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors will not be liable to any Indemnified Party (as defined below) under this Section 8 to
the extent Losses were solely caused by an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission that was contained or made in any preliminary prospectus and corrected in the Prospectus
or any amendment or supplement thereto if (i) the Prospectus does not contain any other untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission of a material fact that was the
subject matter of the related proceeding, (ii) any such Losses resulted from an action, claim or suit by any Person who purchased Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes which are the subject
thereof from such Indemnified Party and (iii) it is established in the related proceeding that such Indemnified Party
failed to deliver or provide a copy of the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) to such Person with or prior to the confirmation of the sale of such Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes sold to such
Person if required by applicable law, unless such failure to deliver or provide a copy of the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) was a result of noncompliance by the Company with Section 6
of this Agreement. The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors also agree to indemnify underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers and similar securities industry professionals participating in the
distribution, their officers, directors, agents and employees and each Person who controls such Persons (within the meaning of Section 5 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the
Exchange Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Holders or the Participating Broker-Dealer.  

	(b)
	Indemnification by Holder. In connection with any Registration Statement, Prospectus or form of prospectus,
any amendment or supplement thereto, or any preliminary prospectus in which a Holder is participating, such Holder shall furnish to the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors in writing such
information as the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors reasonably request for use in connection with any Registration Statement, Prospectus or form of prospectus, any amendment or supplement
thereto, or any preliminary prospectus and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, their respective directors and each Person, if any, who controls the Company and
the Subsidiary Guarantors (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers and partners of such controlling
persons, to the fullest extent lawful, from and against all Losses arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement,
Prospectus or form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading to the extent, but only to the extent, that such losses are 

18

 

finally
judicially determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, unappealable order to have resulted solely from an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or
omission or alleged omission of a material fact contained in or omitted from any information so furnished in writing by such Holder to the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors expressly for use
therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the liability of any selling Holder be greater in amount than such Holder's Maximum Contribution Amount (as defined below). 

	(c)
	Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person
entitled to indemnity hereunder (an "Indemnified Party"), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the party or parties from which such indemnity is
sought (the "Indemnifying Party" or "Indemnifying Parties", as applicable) in writing;  provided, that the
failure to so notify the Indemnifying Parties shall not (i) relieve such Indemnifying Party from any obligation or liability
unless and only to the extent it is materially prejudiced as a result thereof and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligations to any Indemnified Party. 

        The
Indemnifying Party shall have the right, exercisable by giving written notice to an Indemnified Party, within 20 Business Days after receipt of written notice from such Indemnified
Party of such proceeding, to assume, at its expense, the defense of any such proceeding, provided, that an Indemnified Party shall have the right to
employ separate counsel in any such proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or parties unless:
(1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed to pay such fees and expenses; or (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such proceeding or shall have
failed to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party; or (3) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party
and the Indemnifying Party or any of its affiliates or controlling persons, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more defenses available to such
Indemnified Party that are in addition to, or in conflict with, those defenses available to the Indemnifying Party or such affiliate or controlling person (in which case, if such Indemnified Party
notifies the Indemnifying Parties in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Parties, the Indemnifying Parties shall not have the right to assume the
defense and the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party; it being understood, however, that, the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with
any one such proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and
expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (together with appropriate local counsel) at any time for such Indemnified Party). 

        No
Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any settlement of any such proceeding effected without its written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, but if settled with its
written consent, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such proceeding, each Indemnifying Party jointly and severally agrees, subject to the exceptions and limitations set forth
above, to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against any and all Losses by reason of such settlement or judgment. The Indemnifying Party shall not consent to the entry of any
judgment or enter into any settlement unless such judgment or settlement (i) includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to each Indemnified Party of a
release, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, from all liability in respect of such proceeding for which such Indemnified Party would be entitled to indemnification
hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Party is a party thereto) and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any
Indemnified Party. 

19

 

	(d)
	Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to an Indemnified
Party or is insufficient to hold such Indemnified Party harmless for any Losses in respect of which this Section 8 would otherwise apply by its terms (other than by reason of exceptions
provided in this Section 8), then each applicable Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall have a joint and several obligation to contribute to the amount paid
or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified
Party, on the other hand, in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such
Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and Indemnified Party, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent any such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include any legal or
other fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any proceeding, to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in
Section 8(a) or 8(b) was available to such party. 

        The
parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by other method of
allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8(d), a selling Holder
shall not be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of such Holder's Maximum Contribution Amount. A selling Holder's "Maximum Contribution
Amount" shall equal the excess of (i) the aggregate proceeds received by such Holder pursuant to the sale of such Registrable Notes or Exchange Notes over
(ii) the aggregate amount of damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty
of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. The Holders' obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8(d) are several in proportion to the respective principal amount of the Registrable Securities held by each
Holder hereunder and not joint. The Company's and Subsidiary Guarantors' obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8(d) are joint and several. 

        The
indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 8 are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties. 

	9.
	Rules 144 and 144A

        The
Company covenants that it shall (a) file the reports required to be filed by it (if so required) under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act in a timely manner and, if at
any time the Company is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the written request of any Holder of Registrable Notes, make
publicly available other information necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144 and 144A and (b) take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request in writing, all to the
extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Notes without registration under the Securities Act pursuant to the exemptions provided by Rule 144 and
Rule 144A. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such information and requirements. 

20

 
	10.
	Underwritten Registrations of Registrable Notes

        If
any of the Registrable Notes covered by any Shelf Registration is to be sold in an underwritten offering, the investment banker or investment bankers and manager or managers that will
manage the offering will be selected by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of such Registrable Notes included in such offering;  provided, however, that such investment banker or investment bankers and manager or managers must be
reasonably acceptable to the Company. 

        No
Holder of Registrable Notes may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless such Holder (a) agrees to sell such Holder's Registrable Notes on the basis
provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney,
indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.  

	11.
	Miscellaneous

	(a)
	Remedies. In the event of a breach by either the Company or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors of any of their
respective obligations under this Agreement, each Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein, in the Indenture or, in the case of the Initial Purchasers, in the
Purchase Agreement, or granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors agree that
monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by either the Company or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors of any of the provisions of this Agreement and
hereby further agree that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, the Company shall (and shall cause each Subsidiary Guarantor to) waive the defense that a
remedy at law would be adequate.

	(b)
	No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors have not entered, as of the
date hereof, and the Company and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors shall not enter, after the date of this Agreement, into any agreement with respect to any of its securities that is inconsistent with
the rights granted to the Holders of Securities in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. The Company and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors have not entered and will not
enter into any agreement with respect to any of its securities that will grant to any Person piggy-back rights with respect to a Registration Statement.

	(c)
	Adjustments Affecting Registrable Notes. The Company shall not, directly or indirectly, take any action with
respect to the Registrable Notes as a class that would adversely affect the ability of the Holders to include such Registrable Notes in a registration undertaken pursuant to this Agreement.

	(d)
	Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and
waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, otherwise than with the prior written consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the then outstanding Registrable Notes in circumstances that would adversely affect any Holders of Registrable Notes; provided,  however, that
Section 8 and this Section 11(d) may not be amended, modified or supplemented without the prior written consent of each
Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of Holders of Registrable Notes whose
securities are being tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer or sold pursuant to a Notes Registration Statement and that does not directly or indirectly affect, impair, limit or compromise the rights
of other Holders of Registrable Notes may be given by

at the sole option of Agent (and the Fronting Lender, if the Fronting Lender is a Lender other than Agent), Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Loan, subject to the provisions of
Sections 2.2(a) and 2.5 hereof (other than the requirement set forth in Section 2.5(d) hereof), in the amount drawn. Such Revolving Loan shall be evidenced by the Revolving Credit Notes

to this Section 2.2(b)(v) to reimburse, in full (other than the Fronting Lender's pro rata share of such borrowing), the Fronting Lender for the amount drawn on such Letter of Credit. Each such
Revolving Loan shall be deemed to be a Base Rate Loan unless otherwise requested by and available to Borrower hereunder. Each Lender is hereby authorized to record on its records relating to its
Revolving Credit Note (or, if such Lender
has not requested a Revolving Credit Note, its records relating to Revolving Loans) such Lender's pro rata share of the amounts paid and not reimbursed on the Letters of Credit. 

        (vi)  Participation in Letters of Credit.    If, for any reason, Agent (and the Fronting Lender if the Fronting
Lender is a Lender other than Agent) shall be unable to or, in the opinion of Agent, it shall be impracticable to, convert any Letter of Credit to a Revolving Loan pursuant to the preceding
subsection, Agent (and the Fronting Lender if the Fronting Lender is a Lender other than Agent) shall have the right to request that each Lender fund a participation in the amount due with respect to
such Letter of Credit, and Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof (by facsimile or telephone (confirmed in writing)). Upon such notice, but without further action, the Fronting Lender hereby
agrees to grant to each Lender, and each Lender hereby agrees to acquire from the Fronting Lender, an undivided participation interest in the amount due with respect to such Letter of Credit in an
amount equal to such Lender's Commitment Percentage of the principal amount due with respect to such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby
absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to Agent, for the account of the Fronting Lender, such Lender's ratable share of the amount due with respect to
such Letter of Credit (determined in accordance with such Lender's Commitment Percentage). Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in the amount due under any
Letter of Credit that is drawn but not reimbursed by Borrower pursuant to this subsection (vi) shall be absolute and unconditional and 

28

 

shall
not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation, the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default, and that each such payment shall be made without
any offset, abatement, recoupment, counterclaim, withholding or reduction whatsoever and whether or not the Revolving Credit Commitment shall have been reduced or terminated. Each Lender shall comply
with its obligation under this subsection (vi) by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.5 hereof with respect to Revolving Loans. Each
Lender is hereby authorized to record on its records such Lender's pro rata share of the amounts paid and not reimbursed on the Letters of Credit. In addition, each Lender agrees to risk participate
in the Existing Letters of Credit as provided in subsection (vii) below. 

       (vii)  Existing Letters of Credit.    Schedule 2.2 hereto
contains a description of all letters of credit outstanding on, and to continue in effect after, the Closing Date. Each such letter of credit issued by a bank that is or becomes a Lender under this
Agreement on the Closing Date (each, an "Existing Letter of Credit") shall constitute a "Letter of Credit" for all purposes of this Agreement, issued, for purposes of Section 2.2(b)(vi) hereof,
on the Closing Date. Borrower, Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that, from and after such date, the terms of this Agreement shall apply to the Existing Letters of Credit, superseding any other
agreement theretofore applicable to them to the extent inconsistent with the terms hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any reimbursement agreement applicable to the Existing Letters of
Credit, the fees payable in connection with each Existing Letter of Credit to be shared with the Lenders shall accrue from the Closing Date at the rate provided in Section 2.2(b)(iii) and
(iv) hereof. 

      (viii)  Letters of Credit Outstanding Beyond the Commitment Period.    If any Letter of Credit is outstanding upon
the termination of the Commitment, then, upon such termination, Borrower shall deposit with Agent, for the benefit of the Fronting Lender, with respect to all outstanding Letters of Credit, either
cash or a Supporting Letter of Credit, which, in each case, is (A) in an amount equal to one hundred five percent (105%) of the undrawn amount of the outstanding Letters of Credit, and
(B) free and clear of all rights and claims of third parties. The cash shall be deposited in an escrow account at a financial institution designated by the Fronting Lender. The Fronting Lender
shall be entitled to withdraw (with respect to the cash) or draw (with respect to the Supporting Letter of Credit) amounts necessary to reimburse the Fronting Lender for payments to be made under the
Letters of Credit and any fees and expenses associated with such Letters of Credit, or incurred pursuant to the reimbursement agreements with respect to such Letters of Credit. Borrower shall also
execute such documentation as Agent or the Fronting Lender may reasonably require in connection with the survival of the Letters of Credit beyond the Commitment or this Agreement. After expiration of
all undrawn Letters of Credit, the Supporting Letter of Credit or the remainder of the cash, as the case may be, shall promptly be returned to Borrower. 

        (ix)  Requests for Letters of Credit When One or More Lenders are Affected Lenders.    No Letter of Credit shall be
requested or issued hereunder if any Lender is at such time an Affected Lender hereunder, unless Agent (and the Fronting Lender) has entered into satisfactory (to Agent) arrangements (including,
without limitation, the posting of cash collateral) with Borrower or such Affected Lender to eliminate or mitigate the reimbursement risk with respect to such Affected Lender. 

         (x)  Letters of Credit Issued and Outstanding When One or More Lenders are Affected Lenders.    With respect to any
Letters of Credit that have been issued and are outstanding at the time any Lender is an Affected Lender, Agent (and the Fronting Lender) shall have the right to request that Borrower or such Affected
Lender cash collateralize, in form and substance satisfactory to Agent (and the Fronting Lender), such Letters of Credit so as to eliminate or mitigate the reimbursement risk with respect to such
Affected Lender. 

29

 

 
        (c)    Swing Loans.    

          (i)  Generally.    Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during the Commitment Period, the Swing
Line Lender shall make a Swing Loan or Swing Loans to Borrower in such amount or amounts as Borrower, through an Authorized Officer, may from time to time request; provided that Borrower shall not
request any Swing Loan if, after giving effect thereto, (A) the Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment, or (B) the Swing Line Exposure would exceed the
Swing Line Commitment. Each Swing Loan shall be due and payable on the Swing Loan Maturity Date applicable thereto. 

         (ii)  Refunding of Swing Loans.    As often as Agent, in its sole discretion deems appropriate, but in no event
later than 10:00 A.M. (Pacific time) on each Wednesday (or the next Business Day if such Wednesday is not a Business Day) (each a "Settlement Date"), the Swing Line Lender shall require (and
the Lenders and Borrower agree that the Swing Line Lender shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to require) that the then outstanding Swing Loans be refinanced as a Revolving Loan. Such
Revolving Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan unless otherwise requested by and available to Borrower hereunder. Upon receipt of such notice by Borrower and the Lenders, Borrower shall be deemed, on such
day, to have requested a Revolving Loan in the principal amount of the Swing Loan in accordance with Sections 2.2(a) and 2.5 hereof (other than the requirement set forth in
Section 2.5(d) hereof). Such Revolving Loan shall be evidenced by the Revolving Credit Notes (or, if a Lender has not requested a Revolving Credit Note, by the records of Agent and such
Lender). Each Lender agrees to make a Revolving Loan on the date of such notice, subject to no conditions precedent whatsoever. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that such Lender's obligation to
make a Revolving Loan pursuant to Section 2.2(a) hereof when required by this Section 2.2(c)(ii) is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever,
including, without limitation, the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default, and that its payment to Agent, for the account of the Swing Line Lender, of the proceeds of such
Revolving Loan shall be made without any offset, abatement, recoupment, counterclaim, withholding or reduction whatsoever and whether or not the Revolving Credit Commitment shall have been reduced or
terminated. Borrower irrevocably authorizes and instructs Agent to apply the proceeds of any borrowing pursuant to this Section 2.2(c)(ii) to repay in full such Swing Loan. Each Lender is
hereby authorized to record on its records relating to its Revolving Credit Note (or, if such Lender has not requested a Revolving Credit Note, its records
relating to Revolving Loans) such Lender's pro rata share of the amounts paid to refund such Swing Loan. 

        (iii)  Participation in Swing Loans.    If, for any reason, Agent is unable to or, in the opinion of Agent, it is
impracticable to, convert any Swing Loan to a Revolving Loan pursuant to the preceding Section 2.2(c)(ii), then on any day that a Swing Loan is outstanding (whether before or after the maturity
thereof), Agent shall have the right to request that each Lender fund a participation in such Swing Loan, and Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof (by facsimile or telephone (confirmed in
writing)). Upon such notice, but without further action, the Swing Line Lender hereby agrees to grant to each Lender, and each Lender hereby agrees to acquire from the Swing Line Lender, an undivided
participation interest in the right to share in the payment of such Swing Loan in an amount equal to such Lender's Commitment Percentage of the principal amount of such Swing Loan. In consideration
and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to Agent, for the benefit of the Swing Line Lender, such
Lender's ratable share of such Swing Loan (determined in accordance with such Lender's Commitment Percentage). Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in
Swing Loans pursuant to this Section 2.2(c)(iii) is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation, the occurrence and
continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, 

30

 

abatement,
recoupment, counterclaim, withholding or reduction whatsoever and whether or not the Revolving Credit Commitment shall have been reduced or terminated. Each Lender shall comply with its
obligation under this Section 2.2(c)(iii) by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.5 hereof with respect to Revolving Loans to be made
by such Lender. 

        (iv)  Requests for Swing Loan When One or More Lenders are Affected Lenders.    No Swing Loan shall be requested or
issued hereunder if any Lender is at such time an Affected Lender hereunder, unless Agent has entered into satisfactory (to Agent) arrangements (including, without limitation, the posting of cash
collateral) with Borrower or such Affected Lender to eliminate or mitigate the reimbursement risk with respect to such Affected Lender. 

         (v)  Swing Loans Outstanding When One or More Lenders are Affected Lenders.    With respect to any Swing Loans that
are outstanding at the time any Lender is an Affected Lender, Agent shall have the right to request that Borrower or such Affected Lender cash collateralize, in form and substance satisfactory to
Agent, such Swing Loans so as to eliminate or mitigate the reimbursement risk with respect to such Affected Lender. 

        Section 2.3.    Interest.    

        (a)    Revolving Loans.    

          (i)  Base Rate Loan.    Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of a Base Rate Loan outstanding
from time to time from the date thereof until paid at the Derived Base Rate from time to time in effect. Interest on such Base Rate Loan shall be payable, commencing June 30, 2010, and
continuing on each Regularly Scheduled Payment Date thereafter and at the maturity thereof. 

         (ii)  Eurodollar Loans.    Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Loan
outstanding from time to time, fixed in advance on the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto through the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (but subject to changes in the
Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Loans), at the Derived Eurodollar Rate. Interest on such Eurodollar Loan shall be payable on each Interest Adjustment Date with respect to an Interest Period (provided
that if an Interest Period shall exceed three months, the interest must be paid every three months, commencing three months from the beginning of such Interest Period). 

        (b)    Swing Loans.    Borrower shall pay interest to Agent, for the sole benefit of the Swing Line Lender (and any
Lender that shall have purchased a participation in such Swing Loan), on the unpaid principal amount of each Swing Loan outstanding from time to time, from the date thereof until paid at the Derived
Base Rate from time to time in effect. Interest on Swing Loans shall be payable on each Regularly Scheduled Payment. Each Swing Loan shall bear interest for a minimum of one day. 

        (c)    Default Rate.    Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if an Event of Default shall occur, upon the
election of Agent or the Required Lenders (i) the principal of each Loan and the unpaid interest thereon shall bear interest, until paid, at the Default Rate, (ii) the fee for the
aggregate undrawn amount of all issued and outstanding Letters of Credit shall be increased by two percent (2%) in excess of the rate otherwise applicable thereto, and (iii) in the case of any
other amount not paid when due from Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document, such amount shall bear interest at the Default Rate; provided that, during an Event of Default under
Section 8.12 hereof, the applicable Default Rate shall apply without any election or action on the part of Agent or any Lender. 

        (d)    Limitation on Interest.    In no event shall the rate of interest hereunder exceed the maximum rate allowable
by law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of 

31

 

non-usurious
interest permitted by applicable law (the "Maximum Rate"). If Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall
be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by Agent or a Lender
exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest,
(ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (iii) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the
contemplated term of the Obligations. 

        Section 2.4.    Evidence of Indebtedness.    

        (a)    Revolving Loans.    Upon the request of a Lender, to evidence the obligation of Borrower to repay the Revolving
Loans made by such Lender and to pay interest thereon, Borrower shall execute a Revolving Credit Note, payable to the order of such Lender in the principal amount equal to its Commitment Percentage of
the Revolving Amount, or, if less, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Revolving Loans made by such Lender; provided that the failure of a Lender to request a Revolving Credit Note shall in no
way detract from Borrower's obligations to such Lender hereunder. 

        (b)    Swing Loans.    Upon the request of the Swing Line Lender, to evidence the obligation of Borrower to repay the
Swing Loans and to pay interest thereon, Borrower shall execute a Swing Line Note, payable to the order of the Swing Line Lender in the principal amount of the Swing Line Commitment, or, if less, the
aggregate unpaid principal amount of Swing Loans made by the Swing Line Lender; provided that the failure of the Swing Line Lender to request a Swing Line Note shall in no way detract from Borrower's
obligations to the Swing Line Lender hereunder. 

        Section 2.5.    Notice of Credit Event; Funding of Loans.    

        (a)    Notice of Credit Event.    Borrower, through an Authorized Officer, shall provide to Agent a Notice of Loan
prior to (i) 10:00 A.M. (Pacific time) on the proposed date of borrowing of, or conversion of a Loan to, a Base Rate Loan, (ii) 10:00 A.M. (Pacific time) three Business
Days prior to the proposed date of borrowing of, continuation of, or conversion of a Loan to, a Eurodollar Loan, and (iii) 10:00 A.M. (Pacific time) on the proposed date of borrowing of
any Swing Loan, or such other time to which the Swing Line Lender may agree; provided that, if a request for a Base Rate Loan shall not be on a Settlement Date, such request shall be deemed to be a
request for a Swing Loan (unless Agent shall elect to have the Lenders fund such request with a Revolving Loan that meets the requirements of this Section 2.5), so long as the Swing Line
Exposure shall not exceed the Swing Line Commitment. Borrower shall comply with the notice provisions set forth in Section 2.2(b) hereof with respect to Letters of Credit. 

        (b)    Funding of Loans.    Agent shall notify each Lender of the date, amount and Interest Period (if applicable)
promptly upon the receipt of a Notice of Loan (other than for a Swing Loan, or a Revolving Loan to be funded as a Swing Loan), and, in any event, by 11:00 A.M. (Pacific time) on the date such
Notice of Loan is received. On the date that the Credit Event set forth in such Notice of Loan is to occur, each such Lender shall provide to Agent, not later than 12:00 P.M. (Pacific time),
the amount in Dollars, in federal or other immediately available funds, required of it. If Agent shall elect to advance the proceeds of such Loan prior to receiving funds from such Lender, Agent shall
have the right, upon prior notice to Borrower, to debit any account of Borrower or otherwise receive such
amount from Borrower, promptly after demand, in the event that such Lender shall fail to reimburse Agent in accordance with this subsection. Agent shall also have the right to receive interest from
such Lender at the Federal Funds Effective Rate in the event that such Lender shall fail to provide its portion of the Loan on the date requested and Agent shall elect to provide such funds. 

32

 

        (c)    Conversion and Continuation of Loans.    

          (i)  At
the request of Borrower to Agent, subject to the notice and other provisions of this Section 2.5, the Lenders shall convert a Base Rate Loan to one or more
Eurodollar Loans at any time and shall convert a Eurodollar Loan to a Base Rate Loan on any Interest Adjustment Date applicable thereto. Swing Loans may be converted by the Swing Line Lender to
Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.2(c)(ii) hereof. 

         (ii)  At
the request of Borrower to Agent, subject to the notice and other provisions of this Section 2.5, the Lenders shall continue one or more Eurodollar Loans as
of the end of the applicable Interest Period as a new Eurodollar Loan with a new Interest Period. 

        (d)    Minimum Amount.    Each request for: 

          (i)  a
Base Rate Loan shall be in an amount of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), increased in increments of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000); provided
that, during a Non-Transfer Period, there shall be no minimum amount for Base Rate Loans; 

         (ii)  a
Eurodollar Loan shall be in an amount of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), increased in increments of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000); and 

        (iii)  a
Swing Loan may be in any amount as may be agreed to by the Swing Line Lender. 

        (e)    Interest Periods.    Borrower shall not request that Eurodollar Loans be outstanding for more than five
different Interest Periods at the same time. 

        (f)    Advancing of Non Pro-Rata Revolving Loans.    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, if Borrower requests a Revolving Loan pursuant to Section 2.5(a) hereof (and all conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.1 hereof are met) at a time when one or more
Lenders are Defaulting Lenders, Agent shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to require the non-Defaulting Lenders to honor such request by making a non pro-rata
Revolving Loan to Borrower in an amount equal to (i) the amount requested by Borrower, minus (ii) the portions of such Revolving Loan that should have been made by such Defaulting
Lenders. For purposes of such Revolving Loans, the Lenders that are making such Revolving Loan shall do so in proportion to their Commitment Percentages of the amount requested by Borrower. 

        Section 2.6.    Payment on Loans and Other Obligations.    

        (a)    Payments Generally.    Each payment made hereunder by a Credit Party shall be made without any offset,
abatement, recoupment, counterclaim, withholding or reduction whatsoever. 

        (b)    Payments in Dollars from Borrower.    All payments (including prepayments) to Agent of the principal of or
interest on each Loan or other payment, including but not limited to principal, interest, fees or any other amount owed by Borrower under this Agreement, shall be made in Dollars. All payments
described in this subsection (b shall be remitted to Agent, at the address of Agent for notices referred to in Section 11.4 hereof for the account of the Lenders (or the Fronting Lender or the
Swing Line Lender, as appropriate) not later than 10:00 A.M. (Pacific time) on the due date thereof in immediately available funds. Any such payments received by Agent (or the Fronting Lender
or the Swing Line Lender) after 10:00 A.M. (Pacific time) shall be deemed to have been made and received on the next Business Day. 

        (c)    Payments to Lenders.    On each Settlement Date (and more frequently if deemed appropriate by Agent), Agent
shall distribute to each Lender its ratable share, if any, of the amount of principal payments received by Agent for the account of such Lender. With respect to interest, commitment fees and other
payments received by Agent from Borrower, Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender its ratable share, if any, of the amount of interest, commitment fee or other payment received by Agent for the
account of such Lender. Each Lender shall record any principal, interest or other payment, the 

33

 

principal
amounts of Base Rate Loans, Eurodollar Loans, Swing Loans and Letters of Credit, all prepayments and the applicable dates, including Interest Periods, with respect to the Loans made, and
payments received by such Lender, by such method as such Lender may generally employ; provided that failure to make any such entry shall in no way detract from the obligations of Borrower under this
Agreement or any Note. The aggregate unpaid amount of Loans, types of Loans, Interest Periods and similar information with respect to the Loans and Letters of Credit set forth on the records of Agent
shall be rebuttably presumptive evidence with respect to such information, including the amounts of principal, interest and fees owing to each Lender. 

        (d)    Timing of Payments.    Whenever any payment to be made hereunder, including, without limitation, any payment to
be made on any Loan, shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next Business Day and such extension of time shall in each case be included in the
computation of the interest payable on such Loan; provided that, with respect to a Eurodollar Loan, if the next Business Day shall fall in the succeeding calendar month, such payment shall be made on
the preceding Business Day and the relevant Interest Period shall be adjusted accordingly. 

        (e)    Affected Lender.    To the extent that Agent receives any payments or other amounts for the account of an
Affected Lender, at the discretion of Agent, such Affected Lender shall be deemed to have requested that Agent use such payment or other amount (or any portion thereof, at the discretion of Agent)
first, to cash collateralize its unfunded risk participation in Swing Loans and the Letters of Credit pursuant to Sections 2.2(b)(vi), 2.2(c)(iii), and 2.5(b) hereof, and, with respect to any
Defaulting Lender, second, to fulfill its obligations to make Loans. 

        (f)    Payment of Non Pro-Rata Revolving Loans.    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, at the sole discretion of Agent, in order to pay Revolving Loans that were not advanced pro rata by the Lenders, any payment of any Loan may first be applied to such Revolving Loans that
were not advanced pro rata. 

        Section 2.7.    Prepayment.    

        (a)    Right to Prepay.    

          (i)  Borrower
shall have the right at any time or from time to time to prepay, on a pro rata basis for all of the Lenders (except with respect to Swing Loans, which shall be
paid to the Swing Line Lender and any Lender that has funded a participation in such Swing Loan), all or any part of the principal amount of the Loans. Such payment shall include interest accrued on
the amount so prepaid to the date of such prepayment and any amount payable under Article III hereof with respect to the amount being prepaid. Prepayments of Base Rate Loans shall be without
any premium or penalty. 

         (ii)  Borrower
shall have the right, at any time or from time to time, to prepay, for the benefit of the Swing Line Lender (and any Lender that has funded a participation in
such Swing Loan), all or any part of the principal amount of the Swing Loans then outstanding, as designated by Borrower, plus interest accrued on the amount so prepaid to the date of such prepayment. 

        (iii)  Notwithstanding
anything in this Section 2.7 or otherwise to the contrary, at the discretion of Agent, in order to prepay Revolving Loans that were not advanced
pro rata by all of the Lenders, any
prepayment of a Loan shall first be applied to Revolving Loans made by the Lenders during any period in which a Defaulting Lender or Insolvent Lender shall exist. 

        (b)    Notice of Prepayment.    Borrower shall give Agent irrevocable written notice of prepayment of a Base Rate Loan
or Swing Loan by no later than 10:00 A.M. (Pacific time) one Business Day before the Business Day on which such prepayment is to be made and written notice of the prepayment of any Eurodollar
Loan not later than 10:00 A.M. (Pacific time) three Business Days before the Business Day 

34

 

on
which such prepayment is to be made. Swing Loans may be prepaid without advance notice if prepaid through a "sweep" cash management arrangement with Agent. 

        (c)    Minimum Amount.    Each prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan shall be in the principal amount of not less than the
lesser of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), or, with respect to a Swing Loan, the principal balance of such Swing Loan, except in the case of a mandatory payment pursuant to Section 2.11 or
Article III hereof. 

        Section 2.8.    Commitment and Other Fees.    

        (a)    Commitment Fee.    Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the ratable account of the Lenders, as a consideration for
the Revolving Credit Commitment, a commitment fee from the Closing Date to and including the last day of the Commitment Period, payable quarterly, at a rate per annum equal to (i) the
Applicable Commitment Fee Rate in effect on the payment date, multiplied by (ii) the average daily Revolving Amount in effect during such quarter, minus (B) the average daily Revolving
Credit Exposure (exclusive of the Swing Line Exposure) during such quarter. The commitment fee shall be payable in arrears, on June 30, 2010 and continuing on each Regularly Scheduled Payment
Date thereafter, and on the last day of the Commitment Period. 

        (b)    Agent Fee.    Borrower shall pay to Agent, for its sole benefit, the fees set forth in the Agent Fee Letter. 

        (c)    Collateral Audit and Appraisal Fees.    Borrower shall reimburse Agent, for its sole benefit, for all costs and
expenses relating to any collateral assessment, that may be conducted from time to time by or on behalf of Agent, the scope and frequency of which shall be in Agent's sole discretion; provided that,
absent an Event of Default, Borrower need not reimburse Agent for (i) more than three collateral field audits during a calendar year, or (ii) one Inventory appraisal during a calendar
year. 

        (d)    Authorization to Debit Account.    Borrower hereby agrees that Agent has the right to debit from any Deposit
Account of Borrower or any other Credit Party, amounts owing to Agent and the Lenders by Borrower under this Agreement and the Loan Documents for payment of fees, expenses and other amounts incurred
or owing in connection therewith; provided that, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall then exist, (i) Borrower shall have the right to approve any legal fees prior to the payment of
any such legal fees, and (ii) Agent shall provide Borrower with three days advance notice (which may be by email or telephone to a Financial Officer) prior to debiting any Deposit Account of a
Credit Party. 

        Section 2.9.    Modifications to Commitment.    

        (a)    Optional Reduction of Revolving Credit Commitment.    Borrower may at any time and from time to time
permanently reduce in whole or ratably in part the Revolving Amount to an amount not less than the then existing Revolving Credit Exposure, by giving Agent not fewer than five Business Days' (or
thirty (30) days if the Total Commitment Amount is to be reduced or terminated in its entirety) written notice of such reduction, provided that any such partial reduction shall be in an
aggregate amount, for all of the Lenders, of not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), increased in increments of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000). Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of
the date of each such reduction and such Lender's proportionate share thereof. After each such partial reduction, the commitment fees payable hereunder shall be calculated upon the Revolving Amount as
so reduced. If Borrower reduces in whole the Commitment, on the effective date of such reduction (Borrower having prepaid in full the unpaid principal balance, if any, of the Loans, together with all
interest (if any) and commitment and other fees accrued and unpaid with respect thereto, and provided that no Letter of Credit Exposure or Swing Line Exposure shall exist), all of the Revolving Credit
Notes shall be delivered to Agent marked "Canceled" and Agent shall redeliver such Revolving Credit Notes to Borrower. Any partial reduction in the Revolving Amount shall be effective during the 

35

 

remainder
of the Commitment Period. Upon each decrease of the Revolving Amount, the Total Commitment Amount shall be proportionally decreased. 

        (b)    Increase in Commitment.    At any time during the Commitment Increase Period, Borrower may request that Agent
increase the Revolving Amount from the Closing Revolving Amount up to an amount that shall not exceed the Maximum Revolving Amount. Each such request for an increase shall be in an amount of at least
Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000), increased by increments of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), and, if Agent agrees to such increase in the Revolving Amount, may be made by either
(i) increasing, for one or more Lenders, with their prior written consent, their respective Revolving Credit Commitments, or (ii) including one or more Additional Lenders, each with a
new commitment under the Revolving Credit Commitment, as a party to this Agreement (collectively, the "Additional Commitments"). During the Commitment Increase Period, all of the Lenders agree that
Agent, in its sole discretion, may permit one or more Additional Commitments upon satisfaction of the following requirements: (A) each Additional Lender, if any, shall execute an Additional
Lender Assumption Agreement, (B) Agent shall provide to each Lender a revised Schedule 1 to this Agreement, including revised Commitment
Percentages for each of the Lenders, if appropriate, at least three Business Days
prior to the date of the effectiveness of such Additional Commitments (each an "Additional Lender Assumption Effective Date"), (C) Borrower shall execute and deliver to Agent and the Lenders
such replacement or additional Revolving Credit Notes as shall be required by Agent, and (D) Borrower shall, on the Additional Lender Assumption Effective Date, deliver to Agent, for the
benefit of the Lenders, an opinion of counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to Agent, indicating that the Obligations incurred pursuant to the Additional Commitments are permitted to be
incurred, and permitted to be secured, pursuant to the Senior Notes Documents. The Lenders hereby authorize Agent to execute each Additional Lender Assumption Agreement on behalf of the Lenders. On
each Additional Lender Assumption Effective Date, the Lenders shall make adjustments among themselves with respect to the Revolving Loans then outstanding and amounts of principal, interest,
commitment fees and other amounts paid or payable with respect thereto as shall be necessary, in the opinion of Agent, in order to reallocate among such Lenders such outstanding amounts, based on the
revised Commitment Percentages and to otherwise carry out fully the intent and terms of this Section 2.9(b) (and Borrower shall pay to the Lenders any amounts that would be payable pursuant to
Section 3.3 hereof if such adjustments among the Lenders would cause a prepayment of one or more Eurodollar Loans). In connection therewith, it is understood and agreed that the Maximum Amount
of any Lender will not be increased (or decreased except pursuant to Section 2.9(a) hereof) without the prior written consent of such Lender. Borrower shall not request any increase in the
Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.9(b) if a Default or an Event of Default shall then exist, or immediately after giving effect to any such increase would exist. Upon each increase of the
Revolving Amount, the Total Commitment Amount shall be proportionally increased. 

        Section 2.10.    Computation of Interest and Fees.    With the exception of Base Rate Loans, interest on Loans,
Letter of Credit fees, Related Expenses and commitment and other fees and charges hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year having three hundred sixty (360) days and calculated for the
actual number of days elapsed. With respect to Base Rate Loans, interest shall be computed on the basis of a year having three hundred sixty-five (365) days or three hundred
sixty-six (366) days, as the case may be, and calculated for the actual number of days elapsed. 

        Section 2.11.    Mandatory Payments.    

        (a)    Revolving Credit Exposure.    If, at any time, the Revolving Credit Exposure shall exceed the Revolving Credit
Commitment, Borrower shall, as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than the next Business Day, pay an aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans sufficient to bring the Revolving
Credit Exposure within the Revolving Credit Commitment. 

36

 

        (b)    Swing Line Exposure.    If, at any time, the Swing Line Exposure shall exceed the Swing Line Commitment,
Borrower shall, as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than the next Business
Day, pay an aggregate principal amount of the Swing Loans sufficient to bring the Swing Line Exposure within the Swing Line Commitment. 

        (c)    Application of Mandatory Payments.    Unless otherwise designated by Borrower, each prepayment pursuant to
Section 2.11(a) hereof shall be applied in the following order (i) first, on a pro rata basis for the Lenders, to outstanding Base Rate Loans, and (ii) second, on a pro rata basis
for the Lenders, to outstanding Eurodollar Loans; provided that, if the outstanding principal amount of any Eurodollar Loan shall be reduced to an amount less than the minimum amount set forth in
Section 2.5(d) hereof as a result of such prepayment, then such Eurodollar Loan shall be converted into a Base Rate Loan on the date of such prepayment. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan
pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be subject to the prepayment provisions set forth in Article III hereof. 

        Section 2.12.    Establishment of Reserves.    Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, shall have the right, from time
to time, in the good faith exercise of its reasonable credit judgment (consistent with the asset-based nature of this credit), to establish Reserves in such amounts and with respect to such matters as
Agent deems necessary or appropriate, and to increase or decrease such Reserves. In exercising such reasonable credit judgment, Agent may take into account factors that (a) will or could
reasonably be expected to adversely affect the value of any Collateral, the enforceability or priority of the Liens of Agent or the amount that Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, would be likely
to receive in the liquidation of such Collateral, or (b) may demonstrate that any collateral report or financial information concerning the Credit Parties is incomplete, inaccurate or
misleading in any material respect. In exercising such reasonable credit judgment, Reserves may be established against anticipated obligations, contingencies or conditions affecting the Companies,
including, without limitation, (i) tax liabilities and other obligations owing to Governmental Authorities, (ii) asserted litigation liabilities, (iii) anticipated remediation for
compliance with Environmental Laws, and (iv) obligations owing to any lessor of real property, any warehouseman, any processor or any mortgagor on third party mortgaged sites. Reserves may also
be established with respect to the dilution of accounts receivable, as a result of inventory appraisals and other results of field examinations. 

        Section 2.13.    Addition of Borrowing Base Company.    At the request of Borrower and at the sole discretion
of Agent, a Domestic Subsidiary may become a Borrowing Base Company hereunder, provided that, in addition to Agent's consent, (a) such Domestic Subsidiary shall have complied with all
requirements of Section 5.20 hereof, (b) the assets of such Domestic Subsidiary shall have been appraised and otherwise evaluated for borrowing base eligibility purposes in a manner and
by appraisers satisfactory to Agent, and (c) such Domestic Subsidiary shall have provided to Agent such corporate governance and authorization documents and an opinion of counsel and any other
documents and items as may be deemed necessary or advisable by Agent, all of the foregoing to be in form and substance satisfactory to Agent. 

        Section 2.14.    Record of Advances; Application of Collections.    

        (a)    Maintenance of Record of Advances.    Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, shall maintain records in respect of the
Credit Parties that shall reflect (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans and accrued interest, (ii) the unreimbursed Letter of Credit drawings,
(iii) the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of Swing Loans and accrued interest, and (iv) all other Obligations that shall have become payable hereunder (the "Advance Record"). Each entry by Agent in the
Advance Record shall be, to the extent permitted by applicable law and absent manifest error, prima facie evidence of the data entered. Such entries by Agent shall not be a condition to Borrower's
obligation to repay the Obligations. 

37

 

 

        (b)    Charges, Credits and Reports.    Borrower hereby authorizes Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, to charge the
Advance Record with all Revolving Loans, Swing Loans and all other Obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The Advance Record will be credited in accordance with the provisions of
this Agreement with all payments received by Agent directly from Borrower or any other Credit Party or otherwise for the account of Borrower or any other Credit Party pursuant to this Agreement. Agent
shall send Borrower monthly statements in accordance with Agent's standard procedures. Any and all such periodic or other statements or reconciliations of the Advance Record shall be final, binding
and conclusive upon Borrower and the other Credit Parties in all respects, absent manifest error, unless Agent receives specific written objection thereto from Borrower within thirty
(30) Business Days after such statements or reconciliation shall have been sent to Borrower. 

        (c)    Application of Specific Payments.    Except for the crediting to the Advance Record of Collections deposited to
one or more Cash Collateral Accounts as provided below, Borrower shall make all other payments to be made by Borrower under this Agreement with respect to the Obligations not later than
11:00 A.M. (Pacific time) on the day when due, without setoff, counterclaim, defense or deduction of any kind. Payments received after 11:00 A.M. (Pacific time) shall be deemed to have
been received on the next Business Day. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower may specify to Agent the Obligations to which such payment is to be applied. If Borrower does not
specify an application for such payment or if an Event of Default has occurred, Agent shall apply such payment in its discretion. 

        (d)    Crediting of Collections During a Non-Transfer Period.    For the purpose of calculating interest
on the Obligations and determining the aggregate amount of Loans outstanding during a Non-Transfer Period, the amount of the Revolving Credit Exposure and the availability for additional
Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit, all Collections deposited into a Cash Collateral Account shall be credited to the account of Borrower (as reflected in the Advance Record) on the next Business
Day after the Business Day on which Agent has received notice of the deposit of the proceeds of such Collections into such Cash Collateral Account (including automated clearinghouse and federal wire
transfers); provided that, immediately available funds shall be applied on the same Business Day. Such Collections shall be credited as follows: (i) first to any costs and expenses due under
this Agreement, (ii) second to Swing Loans, (iii) third to Base Rate Loans, and (iv) fourth to Eurodollar Loans. If such Collections made on a date other than a Settlement Date
are in excess of the aggregate amount of Swing Loans outstanding, then such Collections may, in the discretion of Agent depending
on the amount of such payment, be credited towards the Swing Line Lender's pro rata share of Revolving Loans outstanding until such payments can be reallocated among the Lenders on the next Settlement
Date. From time to time, upon advance written notice to Borrower, Agent may adopt such additional or modified regulations and procedures as Agent may deem reasonable and appropriate with respect to
the operation of the Cash Collateral Accounts and not substantially inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement. 

        (e)    Application of Deposits in Cash Collateral Accounts During a Non-Transfer Period.    Deposits of
Collections to the Cash Collateral Accounts during a Non-Transfer Period shall be credited to the Advance Record of Borrower on a daily basis in accordance with subsection (d)
above, and thereby reduce the Swing Line Exposure or the Revolving Credit Exposure (other than in respect of the undrawn amount of any Letter of Credit outstanding) as Agent may choose, in its sole
discretion; provided that, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, Agent will use reasonable efforts to avoid applications of payments that would cause prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan prior to
the expiration of the applicable Interest Period. Upon payment in full of the Secured Obligations and the termination of the Commitment, deposits of Collections to the Cash Collateral Accounts shall
be credited by Agent as directed by Borrower. 

        Section 2.15.    Protective Advances.    Agent may, in its reasonable discretion, make Protective Advances
without the consent of the Lenders, so long as after giving effect to such Protective 

38

 

Advances,
the aggregate amount of outstanding Protective Advances shall not exceed five percent (5%) of the Total Commitment Amount. A Protective Advance is for the account of Borrower and shall
constitute Obligations. Any such Protective Advances incurred after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default shall be deemed to have been made in connection with the exercise
of remedies by Agent and shall have the priority set forth in Section 9.8 hereof as expenses of Agent incurred in connection with the exercise of remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents. To the extent Agent makes Protective Advances, Borrower hereby agrees to promptly reimburse Agent, on demand, for all such Protective Advances. The advance of any such Protective Advances
on any one occasion shall not obligate Agent to advance any Protective Advances on any other occasion and nothing in this Section 2.15 shall be construed as excusing any Company from the
performance of any covenant or other agreement of such Company with respect to any of the foregoing matters as set forth in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents. The Lenders shall
reimburse Agent for any Protective Advances to the extent that Agent does not receive reimbursement pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement, and, at the sole option of Agent, Agent may
reimburse itself for Protective Advances through the making of a Swing Loan or by requesting that the Lenders fund a Revolving Loan, subject to no conditions precedent whatsoever (but, for
clarification, subject to the first sentence hereof) other than notice to the Lenders in accordance with Section 2.5(a) hereof. 

 
 

  ARTICLE III. ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO
  EURODOLLAR LOANS; INCREASED CAPITAL; TAXES    
    

        Section 3.1.    Requirements of Law.    

        (a)   If,
after the Closing Date, (i) the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof by a Governmental
Authority, or (ii) the compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority: 

        (A)  shall
subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit or any Eurodollar Loan made by it, or change the basis of
taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Taxes and Excluded Taxes which are governed by Section 3.2 hereof); 

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

        (C)  shall
impose on such Lender any other condition; 

and
the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit,
or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, Borrower shall pay to such Lender, promptly after receipt of a written request therefor, any additional amounts
necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection (a), such
Lender shall promptly notify Borrower (with a copy to Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. 

        (b)   If
any Lender shall have determined that, after the Closing Date, the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the
interpretation or application thereof by a Governmental Authority or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy
(whether or not having the force 

39

 

of
law) from any Governmental Authority shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's or such corporation's capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder, or under or
in respect of any Letter of Credit, to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies
of such Lender or such corporation with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, upon submission by such Lender to Borrower (with a copy to Agent) of a written request therefor (which
shall include the method for calculating such amount), Borrower shall promptly pay or cause to be paid to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such
corporation for such reduction. 

        (c)   A
certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 3.1 submitted by any Lender to Borrower (with a copy to Agent) shall be conclusive
absent manifest error. In determining any such additional amounts, such Lender may use any method of averaging and attribution that it (in its sole discretion) shall deem applicable. The obligations
of Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.1 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 

        Section 3.2.    Taxes.    

        (a)   All
payments made by any Credit Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes or
Other Taxes. If any Taxes or Other Taxes are required to be deducted or withheld from any amounts payable to Agent or any Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to Agent or such Lender shall be
increased to the extent necessary to yield to Agent or such Lender (after deducting, withholding and payment of all Taxes and Other Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the
rates or in the amounts specified in the Loan Documents. 

        (b)   Whenever
any Taxes or Other Taxes are required to be withheld and paid by a Credit Party, such Credit Party shall timely withhold and pay such taxes to the relevant
Governmental Authorities. As promptly as possible thereafter, Borrower shall send to Agent for its own account or for the account of the relevant Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an
original official receipt received by such Credit Party showing payment thereof or other evidence of payment reasonably acceptable to Agent or such Lender. If such Credit Party shall fail to pay any
Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate Governmental Authority or fails to remit to Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, such Credit Party and Borrower shall
indemnify Agent and the appropriate Lenders on demand for any incremental Taxes or Other Taxes paid or payable by Agent or such Lender as a result of any such failure. 

        (c)   Each
Lender that is not (i) a citizen or resident of the United States of America, (ii) a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in
or under the laws of the United States of America (or any jurisdiction thereof), or (iii) an estate or trust that is subject to federal income taxation regardless of the source of its income
(any such Person, a "Non-U.S. Lender") shall deliver to Borrower and Agent two copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, Form W-8IMY
or Form W-8ECI, or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect
to payments of "portfolio interest", a statement with respect to such interest and two copies of a Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly
completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by Credit Parties under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement or such other Loan Document. In
addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms or appropriate replacements promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such
Non-U.S. Lender. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify Borrower at any time 

40

 

it
determines that such Lender is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for
such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection (c), a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this subsection (c) that
such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver. 

        (d)   The
agreements in this Section 3.2 shall survive the termination of the Loan Documents and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 

        Section 3.3.    Funding Losses.    Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender, promptly after receipt of a
written request therefor, and to hold each Lender harmless from, any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by Borrower in making a borrowing of,
conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by Borrower in making
any prepayment of or conversion from Eurodollar Loans after Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (c) the making of a prepayment of a
Eurodollar Loan on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, or (d) any conversion of a Eurodollar Loan to a Base Rate Loan on a day that is not the last day of
an Interest Period applicable thereto. Such indemnification shall be in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amounts so prepaid,
or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case
of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for
herein over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period
with leading banks in the appropriate London interbank market, along
with any administration fee charged by such Lender. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 3.3 submitted to Borrower (with a copy to Agent) by any Lender shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. The obligations of Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts
payable hereunder. 

        Section 3.4.    Eurodollar Rate Lending Unlawful; Inability to Determine Rate.    

        (a)   If
any Lender shall determine (which determination shall, upon notice thereof to Borrower and Agent, be conclusive and binding on Borrower) that, after the Closing Date,
(i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law makes it unlawful, or (ii) any Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender to make or
continue any Loan as, or to convert (if permitted pursuant to this Agreement) any Loan into, a Eurodollar Loan, the obligations of such Lender to make, continue or convert any such Eurodollar Loan
shall, upon such determination, be suspended until such Lender shall notify Agent that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and all outstanding Eurodollar Loans payable to such
Lender shall automatically convert (if conversion is permitted under this Agreement) into a Base Rate Loan, or be repaid (if no conversion is permitted) at the end of the then current Interest Periods
with respect thereto or sooner, if required by law or such assertion. 

        (b)   If
Agent or the Required Lenders determine that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest
Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Loan, or that the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the
cost to the Lenders of funding such Loan, Agent will promptly so notify Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain such Eurodollar Loan shall be suspended
until Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower may 

41

 

revoke
any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of such Eurodollar Loan or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a borrowing of a
Base Rate Loan in the amount specified therein. 

        Section 3.5.    Discretion of Lenders as to Manner of Funding.    Notwithstanding any provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, each Lender shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of such Lender's Loans in any manner such Lender deems to be appropriate; it being
understood, however, that for the purposes of this Agreement all determinations hereunder shall be made as if such Lender had actually funded and maintained each Eurodollar Loan during the applicable
Interest Period for such Loan through the purchase of deposits having a maturity corresponding to such Interest Period and bearing an interest rate equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest
Period. 

 
 

  ARTICLE IV. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT    
    

        Section 4.1.    Conditions to Each Credit Event.    The obligation of the Lenders, the Fronting Lender and the

Equipment and General Intangibles and other property acquired in the ordinary course of business or any Investment Property that constitutes securities of a Foreign Subsidiary not required to be
pledged pursuant to this Agreement) acquired by any Credit Party subsequent to the Closing Date. In addition to any other right that Agent and the Lenders may have pursuant to this Agreement or
otherwise, upon written request of Agent, whenever made, Borrower shall, and shall cause each Guarantor of Payment to, grant
to Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, as additional security for the Secured Obligations, a first (or, in the case of the Indenture Priority Collateral, so long as the Intercreditor Agreement is
in effect, a second) Lien on any real or personal property of Borrower and each Guarantor of Payment (other than for leased equipment or equipment subject to a purchase money security interest in
which the lessor or purchase money lender of such equipment holds a first priority security interest, in which case, Agent shall have the right to obtain a security interest junior only to such lessor
or purchase money lender), including, without limitation, such property acquired subsequent to the Closing Date, in which Agent does not have a first (or, in the case of the Indenture Priority
Collateral, so long as the Intercreditor Agreement is in effect, a second) priority Lien. Borrower agrees that, within ten days after the date of such written request, to secure all of the Secured
Obligations by delivering to Agent security agreements, intellectual property security agreements, pledge agreements, mortgages (or deeds of trust, if applicable) or other documents, instruments or
agreements or such thereof as Agent may require with respect to any of the Credit Parties. Borrower shall pay all recordation, legal and other expenses in connection therewith. 

        Section 5.27.    Restrictive Agreements.    Except as set forth in this Agreement, Borrower shall not, and
shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Subsidiary to
(a) make, directly or indirectly, any Capital Distribution to Borrower, (b) make, directly or indirectly, loans or advances or capital contributions to Borrower or (c) transfer,
directly or indirectly, any of the properties or assets of such Subsidiary to Borrower; except for such encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of (i) applicable law,
(ii) customary non-assignment provisions in leases or other agreements entered in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practices, or (iii) customary
restrictions in security agreements or mortgages securing Indebtedness, or capital leases, 

60

 

of
a Company to the extent such restrictions shall only restrict the transfer of the property subject to such security agreement, mortgage or lease. 

        Section 5.28.    Other Covenants and Provisions.    In the event that any Company shall enter into, or shall
have entered into, any Material Indebtedness Agreement (including any Material Indebtedness Agreement existing on the Closing Date), wherein the covenants and defaults contained therein shall be more
restrictive than the covenants and defaults set forth herein, then the Companies shall immediately be bound hereunder (without further action) by such more restrictive covenants and defaults with the
same force and effect as if such covenants and defaults were written herein. In addition to the foregoing, Borrower shall provide prompt written notice to Agent of the creation or existence of any
Material Indebtedness Agreement that has such more restrictive provisions, and shall, within fifteen (15) days thereafter (if requested by Agent), execute and deliver to Agent an amendment to
this Agreement that incorporates such more restrictive provisions, with such amendment to be in form and substance satisfactory to Agent. 

        Section 5.29.    Pari Passu Ranking.    The Obligations shall, and Borrower shall take all necessary action to
ensure that the Obligations shall, at all times, rank at least pari passu in right of payment with the Senior Notes and all other senior Indebtedness of each Credit Party. 

        Section 5.30.    Guaranty Under Material Indebtedness Agreement.    Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, no Company shall be or become a primary obligor or Guarantor of the Indebtedness incurred pursuant to the Senior Notes Documents or any other Material Indebtedness Agreement unless such
Company shall also be a Guarantor of Payment under this Agreement prior to or concurrently therewith. 

        Section 5.31.    Senior Notes Documents.    Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of Agent and
the Required Lenders, (a) amend, restate, supplement or otherwise modify the Senior Notes Documents to (i) increase the principal amount outstanding thereunder, unless the amount of such
increase shall be permitted pursuant to Section 5.8 hereof, (ii) change the date of any principal or interest payment to an earlier date, or (iii) otherwise modify any provision
such that a Default or Event of Default will exist, or (b) allow any Senior Notes Documents to contain a provision that provides for a cross-default to this Agreement; provided that the Senior
Notes Documents may contain a provision that provides for cross-acceleration with this Agreement. 

        Section 5.32.    Amendment of Organizational Documents.    Without the prior written consent of Agent, no
Credit Party shall (a) amend its Organizational Documents in any manner adverse to the Lenders, or (b) amend its Organizational Documents to change its name or state, province or other
jurisdiction of organization. 

        Section 5.33.    Fiscal Year of Borrower.    Borrower shall not change the date of its fiscal
year-end without the prior written consent of Agent. As of the Closing Date, the fiscal year end of Borrower is the Sunday nearest to December 31 of each year; provided that
Borrower may change the date of its fiscal year end to another date that is within seven days of December 31. 

        Section 5.34.    Further Assurances.    Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Credit Party to, promptly
upon request by Agent, or the Required Lenders through Agent, (a) correct any material defect or error that may be discovered in any Loan Document or in the execution, acknowledgment, filing or
recordation thereof, and (b) do, execute, acknowledge, deliver, record, re-record, file, re-file, register and re-register any and all such further acts,
deeds, certificates, assurances and other instruments related to the Collateral as Agent, or the Required Lenders through Agent, may reasonably require from time to time in order to carry out more
effectively the purposes of the Loan Documents.

  ARTICLE VI. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES    
    

        Section 6.1.    Corporate Existence; Subsidiaries; Foreign Qualification.    Each Company is duly organized,
validly existing, and in good standing (or comparable concept in the applicable jurisdiction) under the laws of its state or jurisdiction of incorporation or organization, and is duly qualified and
authorized to do business and is in good standing (or comparable concept in the applicable jurisdiction) as a foreign entity in the jurisdictions set forth opposite its name on  Schedule 6.1 hereto,
which are all of the states or jurisdictions where the character of its property or its business activities makes such
qualification necessary, except where a failure to so qualify would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Schedule 6.1
hereto sets forth, as of the Closing Date, each Subsidiary of Borrower (and whether such Subsidiary is a Dormant Subsidiary), its state (or jurisdiction) of formation, its relationship to Borrower,
including the percentage of each class of stock or other equity interest owned by a Company, each Person that owns the stock or other equity interest of each Company, the location of its chief
executive office and its principal place of business. Borrower, directly or indirectly, owns all of the equity interests of each of its Subsidiaries (excluding directors' qualifying shares and, in the
case of Foreign Subsidiaries, other nominal amounts of shares held by a Person other than a Company). 

        Section 6.2.    Corporate Authority.    Each Credit Party has the right and power and is duly authorized and
empowered to enter into, execute and deliver the Loan Documents to which it is a party and to perform and observe the provisions of the Loan Documents. The Loan Documents to which each Credit Party is
a party have been duly authorized and approved by such Credit Party's board of directors or other governing body, as applicable, and are the valid and binding obligations of such Credit Party,
enforceable against such Credit Party in accordance with their respective terms. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents do not conflict with, result in a breach in any of the
provisions of, constitute a default under, or result in the creation of a Lien (other than Liens permitted under Section 5.9 hereof) upon any assets or property of any Company under the
provisions of, such Company's Organizational Documents or any material agreement to which such Company is a party. 

        Section 6.3.    Compliance with Laws and Contracts.    Each Company: 

        (a)   holds
permits, certificates, licenses, orders, registrations, franchises, authorizations, and other approvals from any Governmental Authority necessary for the conduct
of its business and is in compliance with all applicable laws relating thereto, except where the failure to do so would not have a Material Adverse Effect; 

        (b)   is
in compliance with all federal, state, local, or foreign applicable statutes, rules, regulations, and orders including, without limitation, those relating to
environmental protection (except as otherwise disclosed in the Phase I report delivered to Agent), occupational safety and health, and equal employment practices, except where the failure to be
in compliance would not have a Material Adverse Effect; 

        (c)   is
not in violation of or in default under any agreement to which it is a party or by which its assets are subject or bound, except with respect to any violation or
default that would not have a Material Adverse Effect; 

        (d)   has
ensured that no Person who owns a controlling interest in a Company or otherwise controls a Company and no executive officer or director of Borrower is
(i) listed on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Person List maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC"), Department of the Treasury, or any other similar lists
maintained by OFAC pursuant to any authorizing statute, executive order or regulation, or (ii) a Person designated under Section 1(b), (c) or (d) of Executive Order
No. 13224 (September 23, 2001), any related enabling legislation or any other similar executive orders; 

62

 

        (e)   is
in compliance with all applicable Bank Secrecy Act ("BSA") and anti-money laundering laws and regulations; and 

        (f)    is
in compliance with the Patriot Act. 

        Section 6.4.    Litigation and Administrative Proceedings.    Except as disclosed on  Schedule 6.4 hereto, there are (a) no
lawsuits, actions, investigations, examinations or other proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of
Borrower, threatened against any Company, or in respect of which any Company may have any liability, in any court or before or by any Governmental Authority, arbitration board, or other tribunal that
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (b) no orders, writs, injunctions, judgments, or decrees of any court or Governmental Authority to which any Company is a party
or by which the property or assets of any Company are bound that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (c) no grievances, disputes, or controversies outstanding
with any union or other organization of the employees of any Company, or threats of work stoppage, strike, or pending demands for collective bargaining that could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. 

        Section 6.5.    Title to Assets.    Each Company has good title to and ownership of all property it purports to
own, which property is free and clear of all Liens, except those permitted under Section 5.9 hereof. As of the Closing Date, the Companies own the real property listed on  Schedule 6.5 hereto.

        Section 6.6.    Liens and Security Interests.    On and after the Closing Date, except for Liens permitted
pursuant to Section 5.9 hereof, (a) there is and will be no U.C.C. Financing Statement or similar notice of Lien outstanding covering any personal property of any Company;
(b) there is and will be no mortgage outstanding covering any real property of any Company; and (c) no real or personal property of any Company is subject to any Lien of any kind. Agent,
for the benefit of the Lenders, upon the filing of the U.C.C. Financing Statements and taking such other actions necessary to perfect its Lien against Collateral of the corresponding type as
authorized hereunder will have a valid and enforceable first Lien on the Collateral (or, with respect to the Indenture Priority Collateral, so long as the Intercreditor Agreement is in effect, a
second lien subject only to the first lien of the Indenture Agent, on behalf of the Senior Noteholders). No Company has entered into any contract or agreement (other than a contract or agreement
entered into in connection with the purchase or lease of fixed assets that prohibits Liens on such fixed assets or a contract or agreement entered into in the ordinary course of business that does not
permit Liens on, or collateral assignment of, the property relating to such contract or agreement) that exists on or after the Closing Date that would prohibit Agent or the Lenders from acquiring a
Lien on, or a collateral assignment of, any of the property or assets of any Company. 

        Section 6.7.    Tax Returns.    All federal, state, provincial and local tax returns and other reports required
by law to be filed in respect of the income, business, properties and employees of each Company have been filed and all taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental charges that are due and payable
have been paid, except as otherwise permitted herein. The provision for taxes on the books of each Company is adequate for all years not closed by applicable statutes and for the current fiscal year. 

        Section 6.8.    Environmental Laws.    Except as set forth in the Environmental Disclosure Letter, each Company
is in material compliance with all Environmental Laws, including, without limitation, all Environmental Laws in all jurisdictions in which any Company owns or operates, or has owned or operated, a
facility or site, arranges or has arranged for disposal or treatment of hazardous substances, solid waste or other wastes, accepts or has accepted for transport any hazardous substances, solid waste
or other wastes or holds or has held any interest in real property or otherwise. Except as set forth in the Environmental Disclosure Letter, no litigation or proceeding arising under, relating to or
in connection with any Environmental Law or Environmental Permit is pending or, to the best knowledge of each Company, threatened, against any Company, any real property in which any Company holds or 

63

 

has
held an interest or any past or present operation of any Company. Except as set forth in the Environmental Disclosure Letter, no material release, threatened release or disposal of hazardous
waste, solid waste or other wastes is occurring, or has occurred (other than those that are currently being remediated in accordance with Environmental Laws), on, under or to any real property in
which any Company holds any interest or performs any of its operations, in violation of any Environmental Law. As used in this Section 6.8, "litigation or proceeding" means any demand, claim,
notice, suit, suit
in equity, action, administrative action, investigation or inquiry whether brought by any Governmental Authority or private Person, or otherwise. 

        Section 6.9.    Locations.    As of the Closing Date, the Companies have places of business or maintain their
Accounts, Inventory and Equipment at the locations (including third party locations) set forth on Schedule 6.9 hereto, and each Company's chief
executive office is set forth on Schedule 6.9 hereto. Schedule 6.9 hereto further
specifies whether each location, as of the Closing Date, (a) is owned by the Companies, or (b) is leased by a Company from a third party, and, if leased by a Company from a third party,
if a Landlord's Waiver has been requested. As of the Closing Date, Schedule 6.9 hereto correctly identifies the name and address of each third
party location where assets of the Companies are located. 

        Section 6.10.    Continued Business.    There exists no actual, pending, or, to Borrower's knowledge, any
threatened termination, cancellation or limitation of, or any modification or change in the business relationship of any Company and any customer or supplier, or any group of customers or suppliers,
whose purchases or supplies, individually or in the aggregate, are material to the business of any Company, and there exists no present condition or state of facts or circumstances that would have a
Material Adverse Effect or prevent a Company from conducting such business or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in substantially the same manner in which it was previously conducted. 

        Section 6.11.    Employee Benefits Plans.    

        (a)    US Employee Benefit Plans.    Schedule 6.11 hereto
identifies each ERISA Plan as of the Closing Date. No ERISA Event has occurred or is expected to occur with respect to an ERISA Plan. Full payment has been made of all amounts that a Controlled Group
member is required, under applicable law or under the governing documents, to have paid as a contribution to or a benefit under each ERISA Plan. The liability of each Controlled Group member with
respect to each ERISA Plan has been fully funded based upon reasonable and proper actuarial assumptions, has been fully insured, or has been fully reserved for on its financial statements. No changes
have occurred or are expected to occur that would cause a material increase in the cost of providing benefits under the ERISA Plan. With respect to each ERISA Plan that is intended to be qualified
under Code Section 401(a), (a) the ERISA Plan and any associated trust operationally comply with the applicable requirements of Code Section 401(a); (b) the ERISA Plan and
any associated trust have been amended to comply with all such requirements as currently in effect, other than those requirements for which a retroactive amendment can be made within the "remedial
amendment period" available under Code Section 401(b) (as extended under Treasury Regulations and other Treasury pronouncements upon which taxpayers may rely); (c) the ERISA Plan and any
associated trust have received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service stating that the ERISA Plan qualifies under Code Section 401(a), that the associated trust
qualifies under Code Section 501(a) and, if applicable, that any cash or deferred arrangement under the ERISA Plan qualifies under Code Section 401(k), unless the ERISA Plan was first
adopted at a time for which the above-described "remedial amendment period" has not yet expired; (d) the ERISA Plan currently satisfies the requirements of Code Section 410(b), without
regard to any retroactive amendment that may be made within the above-described "remedial amendment period"; and (e) no contribution made to the ERISA Plan is subject to an excise tax under
Code Section 4972. With respect to any Pension Plan, the "accumulated benefit obligation" of Controlled Group members with respect to the Pension Plan (as determined in 

64

 

accordance
with Statement of Accounting Standards No. 87, "Employers' Accounting for Pensions") does not exceed the fair market value of Pension Plan assets. 

        (b)    Foreign Pension Plan and Benefit Plans.    As of the Closing Date,  Schedule 6.11 hereto lists all Foreign Benefit Plans
and Foreign Pension Plans currently maintained or contributed to by Borrower and any
appropriate Foreign Subsidiaries. The Foreign Pension Plans are duly registered under all applicable laws which require registration. Borrower and any appropriate Foreign Subsidiaries have complied
with and performed all of its obligations under and in respect of the Foreign Pension Plans and Foreign Benefit Plans under the terms thereof, any funding agreements and all applicable laws (including
any fiduciary, funding, investment and administration obligations) except to the extent as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All employer and employee payments,
contributions or premiums to be remitted, paid to or in respect of each Foreign Pension Plan or Foreign Benefit Plan have been paid in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms thereof, any
funding agreement and all applicable laws except to the extent the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no outstanding actions or suits
concerning the assets of the Foreign Pension Plans or the Foreign Benefit Plans. Each of the Foreign Pension Plans is fully funded on an ongoing basis as required by all laws applicable to such
Foreign Pension Plans (using actuarial methods and assumptions as of the date of the valuations last filed with the applicable Governmental Authorities and that are consistent with generally accepted
actuarial principles). 

        Section 6.12.    Consents or Approvals.    No consent, approval or authorization of, or filing, registration or
qualification with, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required to be obtained or completed by any Company in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of any of the Loan
Documents, that has not already been obtained or completed. 

        Section 6.13.    Solvency.    Borrower has received consideration that is the reasonably equivalent value of
the obligations and liabilities that Borrower has incurred to Agent and the Lenders. Borrower is not insolvent as defined in any applicable state, federal or relevant foreign statute, nor will
Borrower be rendered insolvent by the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents to Agent and the Lenders. Borrower is not engaged or about to engage in any business or transaction for which the
assets retained by it are or will be an unreasonably small amount of capital, taking into consideration the obligations to Agent and the Lenders incurred hereunder. Borrower does not intend to, nor
does it believe that it will, incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature. 

        Section 6.14.    Financial Statements.    The audited Consolidated financial statements of Borrower, for the
fiscal year ended December 27, 2009 and the unaudited Consolidated financial statements of Borrower for the Quarterly Reporting Period ended March 28, 2010, furnished to Agent and the
Lenders, are true and complete, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, and fairly present the financial condition of the Companies as of the dates of such financial statements and the results of
their operations for the periods then ending. Since the dates of such statements, there has been no material adverse change in any Company's financial condition, properties or business or any change
in any Company's accounting procedures. 

        Section 6.15.    Regulations.    No Company is engaged principally 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 meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the
United States of America). Neither the granting of any Loan (or any conversion thereof) or Letter of Credit nor the use of the proceeds of any Loan or Letter of Credit will violate, or be inconsistent
with, the provisions of Regulation T, U or X or any other Regulation of such Board of Governors. 

        Section 6.16.    Material Agreements.    Except as disclosed on  Schedule 6.16 hereto, as of the Closing Date, no Company is a party to
any (a) debt instrument (excluding the Loan Documents);
(b) lease 

65

 

(capital,
operating or otherwise), whether as lessee or lessor thereunder; (c) contract, commitment, agreement, or other arrangement involving the purchase or sale of any inventory by it, or
the license of any right to or by it; (d) contract, commitment, agreement, or other arrangement with any of its "Affiliates" (as such term is defined in the Exchange Act) other than a Company;
(e) management or employment contract or contract for personal services with any of its Affiliates that is not otherwise terminable at will or on less than ninety (90) days' notice
without liability; (f) collective bargaining agreement; or (g) other contract, agreement, understanding, or arrangement with a third party; that, as to subsections (a) through
(g) above, if violated, breached, or terminated for any reason, would have or would be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

        Section 6.17.    Intellectual Property.    Each Company owns, or has the right to use, all of the patents,
patent applications, industrial designs, designs, trademarks, service marks, copyrights and licenses, and rights with respect to the foregoing, necessary for the conduct of its business without any
known conflict with the rights of others. Schedule 6.17 hereto sets forth all federally registered patents, trademarks, copyrights, service marks
and license agreements owned by Borrower or any Domestic Subsidiary as of the Closing Date. 

        Section 6.18.    Insurance.    Each Company maintains with financially sound and reputable insurers insurance
with coverage and limits as required by law and as is customary with Persons engaged in the same businesses as the Companies. Schedule 6.18
hereto sets forth all insurance carried by the Companies on the Closing Date, setting forth in detail the amount and type of such insurance. 

        Section 6.19.    Deposit and Securities
Accounts.    Schedule 6.19 hereto lists all banks, other financial institutions and Securities Intermediaries
at which Borrower or any Domestic Subsidiary maintains Deposit Accounts or Securities Accounts as of the Closing Date, and Schedule 6.19 hereto
correctly identifies the name, address and telephone number of each such financial institution or Securities Intermediary, the name in which the account is held, a description of the purpose of the
account, and the complete account number therefor. 

        Section 6.20.    Accurate and Complete Statements.    Neither the Loan Documents nor any written statement made
by any Company in connection with any of the Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein or in
the Loan Documents not misleading. After due inquiry by Borrower, there is no known fact that any Company has not disclosed to Agent and the Lenders that has or is likely to have a Material Adverse
Effect. 

        Section 6.21.    Senior Notes Documents.    No "default" or "event of default" (as each term is defined in any
Senior Notes Document), or event with which the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would cause a default or event of default, exists, nor will exist immediately after the granting of
any Loan or the issuance of any Letter of Credit under this Agreement. 

        Section 6.22.    Investment Company; Other Restrictions.    No Company is (a) an "investment company" or
a company "controlled" by an "investment company" within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or (b) subject to any foreign, federal, state or local statute or
regulation limiting its ability to incur Indebtedness. 

        Section 6.23.    Assigned Government
Contracts.    Schedule 6.23 hereto sets forth a true, correct and complete list of all Assigned Government
Contracts in effect on the Closing Date. All such Assigned Government Contracts, together with any updates provided pursuant to Section 5.3(h) hereof, are in full force and effect and no
defaults currently exist thereunder (other than as described in Schedule 6.23
hereto or in such updates). Except as set forth in Schedule 6.23, no Assigned Government Contract (a) contains any provision permitting
reduction or set offs of amounts to be paid thereunder, (b) contains any provision restricting assignments of sums due thereunder to Agent, or (c) has been assigned to any other Person. 

66

 

        Section 6.24.    Pledged Notes.    Each Pledged Note constitutes a valid obligation of the maker thereof, and
is enforceable according to its tenor and free from any defense or offset of any kind. No default has occurred under any Pledged Note. Each Credit Party has a valid, duly perfected security interest
in and lien on all of the property that serves to secure its Pledged Notes. Each Credit Party's security interest constitutes the first and only lien upon such property and, to such Credit Party's
knowledge, constitutes the first and only lien upon such property and, to such Credit Party's knowledge, no other party claims to have any right, title or interest of any kind in or to such property
other than such Credit Party. No Credit Party has any obligations to make any further or additional loans or advances to, or purchases of securities from, any maker with respect to any of the Pledged
Notes of such Credit Party. No Pledged Note of any Credit Party is subject to any defense, offset or counterclaim, nor have any of the foregoing been asserted or alleged against such Pledgor by any
Person. 

        Section 6.25.    Pledged Securities.    

        (a)   Each
Credit Party is the legal record and beneficial owner of, and has good and marketable title to, the Pledged Securities such Credit Party purports to own, and such
Pledged Securities are not subject to any pledge, lien, mortgage, hypothecation, security interest, charge, option, warrant or other encumbrance whatsoever, nor to any agreement purporting to grant to
any third party a security interest in the property or assets of such Credit Party that would include such Pledged Securities, except as permitted pursuant to this Agreement. 

        (b)   All
of the Pledged Securities have been duly authorized and validly issued, and are fully paid and non-assessable. 

        (c)   If
the Pledged Securities are "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144, or any amendment thereof, promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, as determined by counsel for any Credit Party, such Credit Party further represents and warrants that (a) such Credit Party has been the beneficial owner of the Pledged Securities for
a period of at least one year prior to the date hereof, (b) the full purchase price or other consideration for the Pledged Securities has been paid or given at least one year prior to the date
hereof, and (c) such Credit Party does not have a short position in or any put or other option to dispose of any securities of the same class as the Pledged Securities or any other securities
convertible into securities of such class. 

        Section 6.26.    Defaults.    No Default or Event of Default exists hereunder, nor will any begin to exist
immediately after the execution and delivery hereof. 

 
 

  ARTICLE VII. SECURITY    
    

        Section 7.1.    Security Interest in Collateral.    In consideration of and as security for the full and
complete payment of all of the Secured Obligations, Borrower hereby grants to Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, a security interest in the Collateral. 

        Section 7.2.    Cash Management System.    Borrower shall establish and maintain, until the payment in full of
the Secured Obligations and the termination of the Commitment, the cash management systems described below: 

        (a)    Lockbox.    On or before the date specified in Section 4.3(a) hereof, the Credit Parties shall
(i) establish a lockbox arrangement with Agent, on behalf of the Lenders (one or more lockboxes hereunder collectively referred to herein as the "Lockbox"), which shall be governed by the
Master Agreement, and, within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, shall request in writing and otherwise take such reasonable steps to ensure that all Account Debtors forward all
Collections either (A) directly to the Lockbox, or (B) directly to one or more Cash Collateral Accounts by wire transfer (if the Credit Parties neglect or refuse to notify any such
Account Debtor to remit all such Collections to the Lockbox, Agent shall be entitled to make such notification), (ii) hold in trust for Agent, as 

67

 

fiduciary
for Agent, all checks, cash and other items of payment received by the Credit Parties, and (iii) not commingle any Collections with any other funds or property of the Credit Parties,
but will hold such funds separate and apart in trust and as fiduciary for Agent until deposit is made into the Cash Collateral Accounts. 

        (b)    Cash Collateral Accounts.    On or before the date specified in Section 4.3(a) hereof, the Credit
Parties shall have established one or more Cash Collateral Accounts with Agent, on behalf of the Lenders. All Collections from sales of Inventory and services rendered or from Account Debtors sent to
the Lockbox shall be deposited directly on a daily basis, and in any event no later than the first Business Day after the date of receipt thereof, into the Cash Collateral Accounts in the identical
form in which such Collections were made (except for any necessary endorsements) whether by cash or check. All amounts deposited in the Cash Collateral Accounts from the Lockbox or any other source
shall be under the sole and exclusive control of Agent. The Credit Parties shall have no interest in or control over such funds. The Cash Collateral Account shall not be subject to any deduction, set
off, banker's lien or any other right in favor of any Person other than Agent. At all times other than during a Non-Transfer Period, all amounts deposited in the Cash Collateral Account
shall be deposited into the Operating Accounts on a daily basis. 

        (c)    Operating Account.    Borrower shall maintain, in its name, one or more Operating Accounts with Agent, into
which account Agent shall, from time to time, deposit proceeds of the Revolving Loans made to Borrower for use by the Companies in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.18 hereof. Unless
otherwise agreed by Agent and Borrower, any Revolving Loan requested by Borrower and made under this Agreement shall be deposited into the Operating Account. During a Non- Transfer Period,
Borrower shall not accumulate or maintain cash in the Operating Accounts or payroll or other such accounts, as of any date of determination, in excess of checks outstanding against the Controlled
Disbursement Account (or Controlled Disbursement Accounts) and other deposit accounts approved by Agent (such as medical benefit accounts, flexible spending accounts and automated clearing house
accounts) as of that date, and amounts necessary to meet minimum balance requirements; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may maintain cash in the Operating Accounts at any time
there are no Loans outstanding and at all times other than during a Non-Transfer Period. 

        (d)    Controlled Disbursement Accounts.    The Credit Parties shall maintain, in the name of Borrower, one or more
Controlled Disbursement Accounts with Agent. During any Non-Transfer Period, (i) Borrower shall base its requests for Revolving Loans on, among other things, the daily balance of
the Controlled Disbursement Account (or Controlled Disbursement Accounts); and (ii) Borrower shall not, and shall not cause or permit any Company to, maintain cash in any Controlled
Disbursement Account, as of any date of determination, in excess of checks outstanding against such account as of that date, and amounts necessary to meet minimum balance requirements. 

        (e)    Lockbox and Security Accounts.    The Lockbox established pursuant to the Lockbox agreement and the Cash
Collateral Accounts, the Operating Accounts and the Controlled Disbursement Accounts shall be Security Accounts, with all cash, checks and other similar items of payment in such accounts securing
payment of the Secured Obligations. 

        (f)    Costs of Collection.    All service charges and costs related to the establishment and maintenance of the
Security Accounts shall be the sole responsibility of Borrower, whether the same are incurred by Agent or the Credit Parties. The Credit Parties hereby indemnifies and holds Agent harmless from and
against any loss or damage with respect to any deposits made in the Security Accounts that are dishonored or returned for any reason. If any deposits are dishonored or returned unpaid for any reason,
Agent, in its sole discretion, may charge the amount thereof against the Cash Collateral Accounts or any other Security Account or other Deposit Account of the Credit Parties. Agent shall not be
liable for any loss or damage resulting from any error, omission, failure or 

68

 

negligence
on the part of Agent, except losses or damages resulting from Agent's own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. 

        (g)    Return of Funds.    Upon the payment in full of the Secured Obligations (other than continuing indemnification
obligations) and the termination of the Commitment hereunder, (i) Agent's security interests and other rights in funds in the Security Accounts shall terminate, (ii) all rights to such
funds shall revert to the Credit Parties, as applicable, and (iii) Agent will, at Borrower's expense, take such steps as Borrower may reasonably request to evidence the termination of such
security interests and to effect the return to the Credit Parties of such funds. 

        (h)    Attorney-in-Fact to Endorse Documents.    Agent, or Agent's designated agent, is hereby
constituted and appointed attorney-in-fact for each Credit Party with authority and power to endorse any and all instruments, documents, and chattel paper upon the failure of
such Credit Party to do so. Such authority and power, being coupled with an interest, shall be (i) irrevocable until all of the Secured Obligations are paid, (ii) exercisable by Agent at
any time and without any request upon any Credit Party by Agent to so endorse, and (iii) exercisable in the name of Agent or any Credit Party. Each Credit Party hereby waives presentment,
demand, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of protest, and any and all other similar notices with respect thereto, regardless of the form of any endorsement thereof. Agent shall not be bound or
obligated to take any action to preserve any rights therein against prior parties thereto. 

        Section 7.3.    Collections and Receipt of Proceeds by Agent.    Each Credit Party hereby constitutes and
appoints Agent, or Agent's designated agent, as Borrower's attorney-in-fact to exercise, at any time, all or any of the following powers which, being coupled with an interest,
shall be irrevocable until the complete and full payment of all of the Secured Obligations: 

        (a)   to
receive, retain, acquire, take, endorse, assign, deliver, accept, and deposit, in the name of Agent or such Credit Party, any and all of such Credit Party's cash,
instruments, chattel paper, documents, Proceeds of Accounts, Proceeds of Inventory, collection of Accounts, and any other writings relating to any of the Collateral. Each Credit Party hereby waives
presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of protest, and any and all other similar notices with respect thereto, regardless of the form of any endorsement thereof. Agent shall not be
bound or obligated to take any action to preserve any rights therein against prior parties thereto; 

        (b)   to
transmit to Account Debtors, on any or all of such Credit Party's Accounts, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, notice of assignment to Agent, for the
benefit of the Lenders, thereof and the security interest therein, and to request from such Account Debtors at any time, in the name of Agent or such Credit Party, information concerning Borrower's
Accounts and the amounts owing thereon; 

        (c)   after
the occurrence of an Event of Default, to transmit to purchasers of any or all of such Credit Party's Inventory, notice of Agent's security interest therein, and
to request from such purchasers at any time, in the name of Agent or such Credit Party, information concerning such Credit Party's Inventory and the amounts owing thereon by such purchasers; 

        (d)   after
the occurrence of an Event of Default, to notify and require Account Debtors on such Credit Party's Accounts and purchasers of such Credit Party's Inventory to
make payment of their indebtedness directly to Agent; 

        (e)   after
the occurrence of an Event of Default, to take or bring, in the name of Agent or such Credit Party, all steps, actions, suits, or proceedings deemed by Agent
necessary or desirable to effect the receipt, enforcement, and collection of the Collateral; and 

        (f)    to
accept all collections in any form relating to the Collateral, including remittances that may reflect deductions, and to deposit the same into such Credit Party's
Cash Collateral Account or, at the 

69

 

option
of Agent, to apply them as a payment against the Loans or any other Secured Obligations in accordance with this Agreement. 

        Section 7.4.    Agent's Authority Under Pledged Notes.    For the better protection of Agent and the Lenders
hereunder, each Credit Party, as appropriate, has executed (or will execute, with respect to future Pledged Notes) an appropriate endorsement on (or separate from) each Pledged Note and has deposited
(or will deposit, with respect to future Pledged Notes) such Pledged Note with Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders. Such Credit Party irrevocably authorizes and empowers Agent, for the benefit of
the Lenders, to, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, (a) ask for,
demand, collect and receive all payments of principal of and interest on the Pledged Notes; (b) compromise and settle any dispute arising in respect of the foregoing; (c) execute and
deliver vouchers, receipts and acquittances in full discharge of the foregoing; (d) exercise, in Agent's discretion, any right, power or privilege granted to the holder of any Pledged Note by
the provisions thereof including, without limitation, the right to demand security or to waive any default thereunder; (e) endorse such Credit Party's name to each check or other writing
received by Agent as a payment or other proceeds of or otherwise in connection with any Pledged Note; (f) enforce delivery and payment of the principal and/or interest on the Pledged Notes, in
each case by suit or otherwise as Agent may desire; and (g) enforce the security, if any, for the Pledged Notes by instituting foreclosure proceedings, by conducting public or other sales or
otherwise, and to take all other steps as Agent, in its discretion, may deem advisable in connection with the forgoing; provided, however, that nothing contained or implied herein or elsewhere shall
obligate Agent to institute any action, suit or proceeding or to make or do any other act or thing contemplated by this Section 7.4 or prohibit Agent from settling, withdrawing or dismissing
any action, suit or proceeding or require Agent to preserve any other right of any kind in respect of the Pledged Notes and the security, if any, therefor. 

        Section 7.5.    Use of Inventory and Equipment.    Until the exercise by Agent and the Required Lenders of
their rights under Article IX hereof, each Credit Party may (a) retain possession of and use its Inventory and Equipment in any lawful manner not inconsistent with this Agreement or with
the terms, conditions, or provisions of any policy of insurance thereon; (b) sell or lease its Inventory in the ordinary course of business or as otherwise permitted by this Agreement; and
(c) use and consume any raw materials or supplies, the use and consumption of which are necessary in order to carry on such Credit Party's business.

        (b)   If

either case, (i) enforcement proceedings are commenced by the prevailing party or any creditor upon such judgment or order, or (ii) there is a period of three consecutive Business Days
during which a stay of enforcement of such judgment, by reason of a pending appeal or otherwise, is not in effect. 

        Section 8.9.    Material Adverse Change.    There shall have occurred any condition or event that Agent or the

  ARTICLE IX. REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT    
    

        Notwithstanding any contrary provision or inference herein or elsewhere: 

        Section 9.1.    Optional Defaults.    If any Event of Default referred to in Section 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4,
8.5, 8.6, 8.7, 8.8, 8.9, 8.10 or 8.11 hereof shall occur, Agent may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, and shall, at the written request of the Required Lenders, give written notice to
Borrower to: 

        (a)   terminate
the Commitment, if not previously terminated, and, immediately upon such election, the obligations of the Lenders, and each thereof, to make any further Loan,
and the obligation of the Fronting Lender to issue any Letter of Credit, immediately shall be terminated; and/or 

        (b)   accelerate
the maturity of all of the Obligations (if the Obligations are not already due and payable), whereupon all of the Obligations shall become and thereafter be
immediately due and payable in full without any presentment or demand and without any further or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by Borrower. 

        Section 9.2.    Automatic Defaults.    If any Event of Default referred to in Section 8.12 hereof shall
occur: 

        (a)   all
of the Commitment shall automatically and immediately terminate, if not previously terminated, and no Lender thereafter shall be under any obligation to grant any
further Loan, nor shall the Fronting Lender be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit; and 

        (b)   the
principal of and interest then outstanding on all of the Loans, and all of the other Obligations, shall thereupon become and thereafter be immediately due and
payable in full (if the Obligations are not already due and payable), all without any presentment, demand or notice of any kind, which are hereby waived by Borrower. 

        Section 9.3.    Letters of Credit.    If the maturity of the Obligations shall be accelerated pursuant to
Section 9.1 or 9.2 hereof, Borrower shall immediately deposit with Agent, as security for the obligations of Borrower and any Guarantor of Payment to reimburse Agent and the Lenders for any
then outstanding Letters of Credit, cash equal to one hundred five percent (105%) of the sum of the aggregate undrawn balance of any then outstanding Letters of Credit. Agent and the Lenders are
hereby authorized, at their option, to deduct any and all such amounts from any deposit balances then owing by any Lender (or any affiliate of such Lender, wherever located) to or for the credit or
account of any Credit Party, as security for the obligations of Borrower and any Guarantor of Payment to reimburse Agent and the Lenders for any then outstanding Letters of Credit. 

        Section 9.4.    Offsets.    If there shall occur or exist any Event of Default referred to in
Section 8.12 hereof or if the maturity of the Obligations is accelerated pursuant to Section 9.1 or 9.2 hereof, each Lender shall have the right at any time to set off against, and to
appropriate and apply toward the payment of, any and all of the Obligations then owing by Borrower or a Guarantor of Payment to such Lender (including, without limitation, any participation purchased
or to be purchased pursuant to Section 2.2(b), 2.2(c) or 9.5 hereof), whether or not the same shall then have matured, any and all deposit (general or special) balances and all other
indebtedness then held or owing by such Lender (including, without limitation, by branches and agencies or any affiliate of such Lender, wherever located) to or for the credit or account of Borrower
or any Guarantor of Payment, all without notice to or demand upon Borrower or any other Person, all such notices and demands being hereby expressly waived by Borrower. 

        Section 9.5.    Equalization Provisions.    Each Lender agrees with the other Lenders that if it, at any time,
shall obtain any Advantage over the other Lenders or any thereof in respect of the Obligations (except as to Swing Loans and Letters of Credit prior to Agent's giving of notice to participate and
except under Article III hereof), it shall purchase from the other Lenders, for cash and at par, such additional participation in the Obligations as shall be necessary to nullify the Advantage.
If any such 

73

 

Advantage
resulting in the purchase of an additional participation as aforesaid shall be recovered in whole or in part from the Lender receiving the Advantage, each such purchase shall be rescinded,
and the purchase price restored (but without interest unless the Lender receiving the Advantage is required to pay interest on the Advantage to the Person recovering the Advantage from such Lender)
ratably to the extent of the recovery. Each Lender further agrees with the other Lenders that if it at any time shall receive any payment for or on behalf of Borrower on any Indebtedness owing by
Borrower pursuant to this Agreement (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by reason of offset of any deposit or other indebtedness, by counterclaim or cross-action, by the
enforcement of any right under any Loan Document, or otherwise), it will apply such payment first to any and all
Obligations owing by Borrower to that Lender (including, without limitation, any participation purchased or to be purchased pursuant to this Section 9.5 or any other section of this Agreement).
Each Credit Party agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from the other Lenders or any thereof pursuant to this Section 9.5 may exercise all of its rights of payment (including
the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Credit Party in the amount of such participation. 

        Section 9.6.    Collateral.    Agent and the Lenders shall at all times have the rights and remedies of a
secured party under the U.C.C., in addition to the rights and remedies of a secured party provided elsewhere within this Agreement, in any other Related Writing executed by Borrower or otherwise
provided in law or equity. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and at all times thereafter, Agent may require Borrower to assemble the Collateral, which Borrower agrees to do, and make it
available to Agent and the Lenders at a reasonably convenient place to be designated by Agent. Agent may, with or without notice to or demand upon Borrower and with or without the aid of legal
process, make use of such force as may be necessary to enter any premises where the Collateral, or any thereof, may be found and to take possession thereof (including anything found in or on the
Collateral that is not specifically described in this Agreement, each of which findings shall be considered to be an accession to and a part of the Collateral) and for that purpose may pursue the
Collateral wherever the same may be found, without liability for trespass or damage caused thereby to Borrower. After any delivery or taking of possession of the Collateral, or any thereof, pursuant
to this Agreement, then, with or without resort to Borrower personally or any other Person or property, all of which Borrower hereby waives, and upon such terms and in such manner as Agent may deem
advisable, Agent, in its discretion, may sell, assign, transfer and deliver any of the Collateral at any time, or from time to time. No prior notice need be given to Borrower or to any other Person in
the case of any sale of Collateral that Agent determines to be perishable or to be declining speedily in value or that is customarily sold in any recognized market, but in any other case Agent shall
give Borrower not fewer than ten days prior notice of either the time and place of any public sale of the Collateral or of the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition thereof
is to be made. Borrower waives advertisement of any such sale and (except to the extent specifically required by the preceding sentence) waives notice of any kind in respect of any such sale. At any
such public sale, Agent or the Lenders may purchase the Collateral, or any part thereof, free from any right of redemption, all of which rights Borrower hereby waives and releases. After deducting all
Related Expenses, and after paying all claims, if any, secured by Liens having precedence over this Agreement, Agent may apply the net proceeds of each such sale to or toward the payment of the
Secured Obligations, whether or not then due, in such order and by such division as Agent, in its sole discretion, may deem advisable. Any excess, to the extent permitted by law, shall be paid to
Borrower, and Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency. In addition, Agent shall at all times have the right to obtain new appraisals of Borrower or the Collateral, the cost of which shall be
paid by Borrower. 

        Section 9.7.    Other Remedies.    The remedies in this Article IX are in addition to, not in limitation
of, any other right, power, privilege, or remedy, either in law, in equity, or otherwise, to which the Lenders may be entitled. Agent shall exercise the rights under this Article IX and all
other collection 

74

 

efforts
on behalf of the Lenders and no Lender shall act independently with respect thereto, except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement. 

        Section 9.8.    Application of Proceeds.    

        (a)    Payments Prior to Exercise of Remedies.    Prior to the exercise by Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, of
remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, all monies received by Agent in connection with the Revolving Credit Commitment shall be applied, unless otherwise required by the terms of
the other Loan Documents or by applicable law, to the Loans and Letters of Credit, as appropriate; provided that Agent shall have the right at all times to apply any payment received from Borrower
first to the payment of all obligations (to the extent not paid by Borrower) incurred by Agent pursuant to Section 11.5 hereof and to the payment of Related Expenses. 

        (b)    Payments Subsequent to Exercise of Remedies.    After the exercise by Agent or the Required Lenders of remedies
under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, all monies received by Agent shall be applied, unless otherwise required by the terms of the other Loan Documents or by applicable law, as follows: 

          (i)  first,
to the payment of all obligations (to the extent not paid by Borrower) incurred by Agent pursuant to Section 11.5 hereof and to the payment of Related
Expenses; 

         (ii)  second,
to the payment pro rata of (A) interest then accrued and payable on the outstanding Loans, (B) any fees then accrued and payable to Agent, and
(C) any fees then accrued and payable to the Fronting Lender or the holders of the Letter of Credit Commitment in respect of the Letter of Credit Exposure; 

        (iii)  third,
for payment of (A) principal outstanding on the Loans and the Letter of Credit Exposure, on a pro rata basis to the Lenders, based upon each such
Lender's Commitment Percentage, provided that the amounts payable in respect of the Letter of Credit Exposure shall be held and applied by Agent as security for the reimbursement obligations in
respect thereof, and, if any Letter of Credit shall expire without being drawn, then the amount with respect to such Letter of Credit shall be distributed to the Lenders, on a pro rata basis in
accordance with this subsection (iii), (B) the Indebtedness under any Hedge Agreement with a Lender, such amount to be based upon the net termination obligation of Borrower under such
Hedge Agreement, and (C) the Bank Product Obligations owing to Lenders under Bank Product Agreements; with such payment to be pro rata among (A), (B) and (C) of this
subsection (iii); and 

        (iv)  finally,
any remaining surplus after all of the Secured Obligations have been paid in full, to Borrower or to whomsoever shall be lawfully entitled thereto. 

 
 

  ARTICLE X. THE AGENT    
    

        The Lenders authorize KeyBank and KeyBank hereby agrees to act as agent for the Lenders in respect of this Agreement upon the terms and
conditions set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, and upon the following terms and conditions: 

        Section 10.1.    Appointment and Authorization.    Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Agent
to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers hereunder as are delegated to Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto,
including, without limitation, to execute and deliver the Intercreditor Agreement on behalf of the Lenders. Neither Agent nor any of its affiliates, directors, officers, attorneys or employees shall
(a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or in connection herewith, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by
a court of competent jurisdiction), or be responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for the effectiveness, enforceability, genuineness, validity or due execution of this Agreement or any other
Loan Documents, 

75

 

(b) be
under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions hereof or thereof on the part of Borrower
or any other Company, or the financial condition of Borrower or any other Company, or (c) be liable to any of the Companies for consequential damages resulting from any breach of contract, tort
or other wrong in connection with the negotiation, documentation, administration or collection of the Loans or Letters of Credit or any of the Loan Documents. Each Lender, by becoming a party to this
Agreement, agrees to be bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of the Intercreditor Agreement as if it were an original party thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained
in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary
relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or
otherwise exist against Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term "agent" herein and in other Loan Documents with reference to Agent is not intended to
connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to
create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. 

        Section 10.2.    Note Holders.    Agent may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof (or, if there is
no Note, the holder of the interest as reflected on the books and records of Agent) until written notice of transfer shall have been filed with Agent, signed by such payee and in form satisfactory to
Agent. 

        Section 10.3.    Consultation With Counsel.    Agent may consult with legal counsel selected by Agent and shall
not be liable for any action taken or suffered in good faith by Agent in accordance with the opinion of such counsel. 

        Section 10.4.    Documents.    Agent shall not be under any duty to examine into or pass upon the validity,
effectiveness, genuineness or value of any Loan Document or any other Related Writing furnished pursuant hereto or in connection herewith or the value of any collateral obtained hereunder, and Agent
shall be entitled to assume that the same are valid, effective and genuine and what they purport to be. 

        Section 10.5.    Agent and Affiliates.    KeyBank and its affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit
for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with the Companies and
Affiliates as though KeyBank were not Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that, pursuant to such activities, KeyBank or its affiliates may receive
information regarding any Company or any Affiliate (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Company or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that Agent
shall be under no obligation to provide such information to other Lenders. With respect to Loans and Letters of Credit (if any), KeyBank and its affiliates shall have the same rights and powers under
this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though KeyBank were not Agent, and the terms "Lender" and "Lenders" include KeyBank and its affiliates, to the extent applicable, in
their individual capacities. 

        Section 10.6.    Knowledge or Notice of Default.    Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of
the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless Agent has received written notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and
stating that such notice is a "notice of default". In the event that Agent receives such a notice, Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. Agent shall take such action with respect to such
Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders); provided that, unless and until Agent shall have received such 

76

 

directions,
Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable, in its
discretion, for the protection of the interests of the Lenders. 

        Section 10.7.    Action by Agent.    Subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, so long as Agent shall
be entitled, pursuant to Section 10.6 hereof, to assume that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Agent shall be entitled to use its discretion with respect to
exercising or refraining from exercising any rights that may be vested in it by, or with respect to taking or refraining from taking any action or actions that it may be able to take under or in
respect of, this Agreement. Agent shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement by acting upon any notice, certificate, warranty or other paper or instrument believed by it to be
genuine or authentic or to be signed by the proper party or parties, or with respect to anything that it may do or refrain from doing in the reasonable exercise of its judgment, or that may seem to it
to be necessary or desirable in the
premises. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of Agent's acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the
instructions of the Required Lenders. 

        Section 10.8.    Release of Collateral or Guarantor of Payment.    In the event of a transfer of assets
permitted by Section 5.12 hereof (or otherwise permitted pursuant to this Agreement) where the proceeds of such transfer are applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the extent
required to be so applied, Agent, at the request and expense of Borrower, is hereby authorized by the Lenders to (a) release such Collateral from this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
(b) release a Guarantor of Payment in connection with such permitted transfer, and (c) duly assign, transfer and deliver to the affected Company (without recourse and without any
representation or warranty) such Collateral as is then (or has been) so transferred or released and as may be in possession of Agent and has not theretofore been released pursuant to this Agreement. 

        Section 10.9.    Delegation of Duties.    Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other
Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining
to such duties. Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful
misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. 

        Section 10.10.    Indemnification of Agent.    The Lenders agree to indemnify Agent (to the extent not
reimbursed by Borrower) ratably, according to their respective Commitment Percentages, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent in its capacity as agent in any
way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any Loan Document or the Intercreditor Agreement, or any action taken or omitted by Agent with respect to this Agreement or any Loan Document, or
the Intercreditor Agreement, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including
attorneys' fees and expenses) or disbursements resulting from Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, or from any action taken or omitted by
Agent in any capacity other than as agent under this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement or any other Loan Document. No action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders shall
be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 10.10. The undertaking in this Section 10.10 shall survive repayment of the Loans,
cancellation of the Notes, if any, expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit, termination of the Commitment, any foreclosure under, or modification, release or discharge of, any or all of the
Loan Documents, termination of this Agreement and the resignation or replacement of the agent. 

77

 

 

        Section 10.11.    Successor Agent.    Agent may resign as agent hereunder by giving not fewer than thirty
(30) days prior written notice to Borrower and the Lenders. If Agent shall resign under this Agreement, then either (a) the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a
successor agent for the Lenders (with the consent of Borrower so long as an Event of Default does not exist and which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), or (b) if a successor agent
shall not be so appointed and approved within the thirty (30) day period following Agent's notice to the Lenders of its resignation, then Agent shall appoint a successor agent that shall serve
as agent until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date that is thirty (30) days following a retiring
Agent's notice of resignation, the retiring Agent's resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of Agent hereunder until such
time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. Upon its appointment, such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties as agent, and the term
"Agent" means such successor 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 or any of the parties to this Agreement. After any retiring Agent's resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Article X shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or
omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 

        Section 10.12.    Fronting Lender.    The Fronting Lender shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to
any Letters of Credit issued by the Fronting Lender and the documents associated therewith. The Fronting Lender shall have all of the benefits and immunities (a) provided to Agent in this
Article X with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the Fronting Lender in connection with the Letters of Credit and the applications and agreements for letters of credit
pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term "Agent", as used in this Article X, included the Fronting Lender with respect to such acts or omissions, and (b) as
additionally provided in this Agreement with respect to the Fronting Lender. 

        Section 10.13.    Swing Line Lender.    The Swing Line Lender shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect
to any Swing Loans. The Swing Line Lender shall have all of the benefits and immunities (a) provided to Agent in this Article X with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by
the Swing Line Lender in connection with the Swing Loans as fully as if the term "Agent", as used in this Article X,
included the Swing Line Lender with respect to such acts or omissions, and (b) as additionally provided in this Agreement with respect to the Swing Line Lender. 

        Section 10.14.    Agent May File Proofs of Claim.    In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency,
liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Credit Party, (a) Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any
Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Agent shall have made any demand on Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by
intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to (i) file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, and all other
Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and Agent (including any claim for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and Agent) allowed in such judicial
proceedings, and (ii) collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and (b) any custodian, receiver, assignee,
trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to Agent and, in the event that Agent shall
consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Agent and its agents and
counsel, and any other amounts due Agent. Nothing contained herein shall 

78

 

be
deemed to authorize Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the
rights of any Lender or to authorize Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding. 

        Section 10.15.    No Reliance on Agent's Customer Identification Program.    Each Lender acknowledges and
agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on Agent to carry out such Lender's or its affiliate's, participant's or assignee's customer
identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the 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 Borrower, its
Affiliates or agents, the Loan Documents or the transactions hereunder: (a) any identity verification procedures, (b) any record keeping, (c) any comparisons with government
lists, (d) any customer notices or (e) any other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other laws. 

        Section 10.16.    Other Agents.    Agent shall have the continuing right from time to time to designate one or
more Lenders (or its or their affiliates as "syndication agent", "co-syndication agent", "documentation agent", "co-documentation agent", "book runner", "lead arranger",
"arrangers" or other designations for purposes hereof, but (a) any such designation shall have no substantive effect, and (b) any such Lender and its affiliates shall have no additional
powers, duties, responsibilities or liabilities as a result thereof. 

 
 

  ARTICLE XI. MISCELLANEOUS    
    

        Section 11.1.    Lenders' Independent Investigation.    Each Lender, by its signature to this Agreement,
acknowledges and agrees that Agent has made no representation or warranty, express or implied, with respect to the creditworthiness, financial condition, or any other condition of any Company or with
respect to the statements contained in any information memorandum furnished in connection herewith or in any other oral or written communication between Agent and such Lender. Each Lender represents
that it has made and shall continue to make its own independent investigation of the creditworthiness, financial condition and affairs of the Companies in connection with the extension of credit
hereunder, and agrees that Agent has no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto (other than
such notices as may be expressly required to be given by Agent to the Lenders hereunder), whether coming into its possession before the first Credit Event hereunder or at any time or times thereafter.
Each Lender further represents that it has reviewed each of the Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, the Intercreditor Agreement. 

        Section 11.2.    No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.    No omission or course of dealing on the part of Agent, any
Lender or the holder of any Note (or, if there is no Note, the holder of the interest as reflected on the books and records of Agent) in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder or under any of
the Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right, power or remedy hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and in addition to any other rights, powers or privileges held under any of the
Loan Documents or by operation of law, by contract or otherwise. 

        Section 11.3.    Amendments, Waivers and Consents.    

        (a)    General Rule.    No amendment, modification, termination, or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document nor
consent to any variance therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required Lenders and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific
instance and for the specific purpose for which given. 

79

 

        (b)    Exceptions to the General Rule.    Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) of this
Section 11.3: 

          (i)  Requirements.    Subject to subpart (iii) below, no amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall
(A) extend or increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (B) extend the date scheduled for payment of any principal (excluding mandatory
prepayments) of or interest on the Loans or any commitment fees payable hereunder without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (C) reduce the principal amount of any
Loan, the stated rate of interest thereon (provided that the institution of the Default Rate or post default interest and a subsequent removal of the Default Rate or post default interest shall not
constitute a decrease in interest rate pursuant to this Section 11.3), the stated rate of any commitment fees payable hereunder, the amount of principal to be reimbursed when a Letter of Credit
is drawn, or the stated rate of any Letter of Credit fees payable for the pro rata benefit of the Lenders, without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (except for periodic adjustments
of interest rates and commitment fees resulting from a change in the Applicable Margin as provided for in this Agreement), (D) change any percentage voting requirement, voting rights, or the
Required Lenders definition in this Agreement, without the unanimous consent of the Lenders, (E) release Borrower or any Guarantor of Payment except in connection with a merger or sale of
assets permitted pursuant to Section 5.12 hereof without the unanimous consent of the Lenders, (F) release all or substantially all of the Collateral, securing the Secured Obligations,
except as specifically permitted hereunder, without the unanimous consent of the Lenders, or (G) amend this Section 11.3 or Section 9.5 or 9.8 hereof without the unanimous consent
of the Lenders. 

         (ii)  Provisions Relating to Special Rights and Duties.    No provision of this Agreement affecting Agent in its
capacity as such shall be amended, modified or waived without the consent of Agent. No provision of this Agreement relating to the rights or duties of the Fronting Lender in its capacity as such shall
be amended, modified or waived without the consent of the Fronting Lender. No provision of this Agreement relating to the rights or duties of the Swing Line Lender in its capacity as such shall be
amended, modified or waived without the consent of the Swing Line Lender. 

        (c)    Replacement of Non-Consenting Lender.    If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or
consent hereunder, (i) the consent of all Lenders is required, but only the consent of Required Lenders is obtained, or (ii) the consent of Required Lenders is required, but the consent
of the Required Lenders is not obtained (any Lender withholding consent as described in subparts (i) and (ii) hereof being referred to as a "Non-Consenting Lender"), then, so
long as Agent is not the Non-Consenting Lender, Agent may, at the sole expense of Borrower, upon notice to such Non-Consenting Lender and Borrower, require such
Non-Consenting Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with the restrictions contained in Section 11.10 hereof) all of its interests, rights and obligations
under this Agreement to an Eligible Transferee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that such
Non-Consenting Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it
hereunder, from such Eligible Transferee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or Borrower (in the case of all other amounts, including any breakage compensation
under Article III hereof). 

        (d)    Generally.    Notice of amendments, waivers or consents ratified by the Lenders hereunder shall be forwarded by
Agent to all of the Lenders. Each Lender or other holder of a Note, or if there is no Note, the holder of the interest as reflected on the books and records of Agent (or interest in any Loan or Letter
of Credit) shall be bound by any amendment, waiver or consent obtained as authorized by this Section 11.3, regardless of its failure to agree thereto. 

80

 

        Section 11.4.    Notices.    All notices, requests, demands and other communications provided for hereunder
shall be in writing and, if to Borrower, mailed or delivered to it, addressed to it at the address specified on the signature pages of this Agreement, if to a Lender, mailed or delivered to it,
addressed to the address of such Lender specified on the signature pages of this Agreement, or, as to each party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to each
of the other parties. All notices, statements, requests, demands and other communications provided for hereunder shall be deemed to be given or made when hand delivered, delivered by overnight courier
or two Business Days after being deposited in the mails with postage prepaid by registered or certified mail, addressed as aforesaid, or sent by facsimile with telephonic confirmation of receipt (if
received during a Business Day, otherwise the following Business Day). All notices from Borrower to Agent or the Lenders pursuant to any of the provisions hereof shall not be effective until received
by Agent or the Lenders, as the case may be. For purposes of Article II hereof, Agent shall be entitled to rely on telephonic instructions from any person that Agent in good faith believes is
an Authorized Officer, and Borrower shall hold Agent and each Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense resulting from any such reliance. 

        Section 11.5.    Costs, Expenses and Documentary Taxes.    Borrower agrees to pay on demand all costs and
expenses of Agent and all Related Expenses, including but not limited to (a) syndication, administration, travel and out-of-pocket expenses, including but not limited to
attorneys' fees and expenses, of Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation and closing of the Loan Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement and the administration of the Loan Documents
and the Intercreditor Agreement, and the collection and disbursement of all funds hereunder and the other instruments and documents to be delivered hereunder, (b) extraordinary expenses of
Agent in connection with the administration of the Loan Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement and the other instruments and documents to be delivered hereunder, and (c) the reasonable fees and
out-of-pocket expenses of special counsel for Agent, with respect to the foregoing, and of local counsel, if any, who may be retained by said special counsel with respect
thereto. Borrower also agrees to pay on demand all costs and expenses (including Related Expenses) of Agent and the Lenders, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, in connection with the
restructuring or enforcement of the Obligations, this Agreement or any Related Writing, or the Intercreditor Agreement. In addition, Borrower shall pay any and all stamp, transfer, documentary and
other taxes, assessments, charges and fees payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement and the other
instruments and documents to be delivered hereunder, and agrees to hold Agent and each Lender harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or
failure to pay
such taxes or fees. All obligations provided for in this Section 11.5 shall survive any termination of this Agreement. 

        Section 11.6.    Indemnification.    Borrower agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Agent and the
Lenders (and their respective affiliates, officers, directors, attorneys, agents and employees) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, costs, expenses (including attorneys' fees) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent or any Lender in connection with any
investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding (whether or not such Lender or Agent shall be designated a party thereto) or any other claim by any Person relating to or arising out of any Loan
Document the Intercreditor Agreement or any actual or proposed use of proceeds of the Loans or any of the Obligations, or any activities of any Company or its Affiliates; provided that no Lender nor
Agent shall have the right to be indemnified under this Section 11.6 for its own (or its respective affiliates', officers', directors', attorneys', agents' or employees') gross negligence or
willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. All obligations provided for in this Section 11.6 shall survive any termination of this Agreement. 

81

 

        Section 11.7.    Obligations Several; No Fiduciary Obligations.    The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are
several and not joint. Nothing contained in this Agreement and no action taken by Agent or the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be deemed to constitute Agent or the Lenders a partnership, association,
joint venture or other entity. No default by any Lender hereunder shall excuse the other Lenders from any obligation under this Agreement; but no Lender shall have or acquire any additional obligation
of any kind by reason of such default. The relationship between Borrower and the Lenders with respect to the Loan Documents and the Related Writings is and shall be solely that of debtor and
creditors, respectively, and neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any fiduciary obligation toward any Credit Party with respect to any such documents or the transactions contemplated thereby. 

        Section 11.8.    Execution in Counterparts.    This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and
by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, and by facsimile signature, each of which counterparts when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken
together shall constitute but one and the same agreement. 

        Section 11.9.    Binding Effect; Borrower's Assignment.    This Agreement shall become effective when it shall
have been executed by Borrower, Agent and each Lender and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower, Agent and each of the Lenders and their respective successors and
assigns, except that Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of Agent and all of the Lenders. 

        Section 11.10.    Lender Assignments.    

        (a)    Assignments of Commitments.    Each Lender shall have the right at any time or times to assign to an Eligible
Transferee (other than to a Lender that shall not be in compliance with this Agreement), without recourse, all or a percentage of all of the following: (i) such Lender's Commitment,
(ii) all Loans made by that Lender, (iii) such Lender's Notes, and (iv) such Lender's interest in any Letter of Credit or Swing Loan, and any participation purchased pursuant to
Section 2.2(b) or 2.2(c) or Section 9.5 hereof. 

        (b)    Prior Consent.    No assignment may be consummated pursuant to this Section 11.10 without the prior
written consent of Borrower and Agent (other than an assignment by any Lender to any affiliate of such Lender which affiliate is an Eligible Transferee and either wholly-owned by a Lender or is
wholly-owned by a Person that wholly owns, either directly or indirectly, such Lender, or to another Lender), which consent of Borrower and Agent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided that the
consent of Borrower shall not be required if, at the time of the proposed assignment, any Default or Event of Default shall then exist. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, any Lender may
at any time make a collateral assignment of all or any portion of its rights under the Loan Documents to a Federal Reserve Bank, and no such assignment shall release such assigning Lender from its
obligations hereunder. 

        (c)    Minimum Amount.    Each such assignment shall be in a minimum amount of the lesser of One Million Dollars
($1,000,000) of the assignor's Commitment and interest herein, or the entire amount of the assignor's Commitment and interest herein. 

        (d)    Assignment Fee.    Unless the assignment shall be to an affiliate of the assignor or the assignment shall be
due to merger of the assignor or for regulatory purposes, either the assignor or the assignee shall remit to Agent, for its own account, an administrative fee of Three Thousand Five Hundred Dollars
($3,500). 

        (e)    Assignment Agreement.    Unless the assignment shall be due to merger of the assignor or a collateral
assignment for regulatory purposes, the assignor shall (i) cause the assignee to execute and deliver to Borrower and Agent an Assignment Agreement, and (ii) execute and deliver, or cause
the assignee to execute and deliver, as the case may be, to Agent such additional amendments, assurances and other writings as Agent may reasonably require. 

82

 

        (f)    Non-U.S. Assignee.    If the assignment is to be made to an assignee that is organized under the
laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or any state thereof, the assignor Lender shall cause such assignee, at least five Business Days prior to the effective date of such assignment,
(i) to represent to the assignor Lender (for the benefit of the assignor Lender, Agent and Borrower) that under applicable law and treaties no taxes will be required to be withheld by Agent,
Borrower or the assignor with respect to any payments to be made to such assignee in respect of the Loans hereunder, (ii) to furnish to the assignor Lender (and, in the case of any assignee
registered in the Register (as defined below), Agent and Borrower) either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8IMY or U.S. Internal Revenue Service
Form W-8BEN, as applicable (wherein such assignee claims entitlement to complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments hereunder), and (iii) to agree
(for the benefit of the assignor, Agent and Borrower) to provide to the assignor Lender (and, in the case of any assignee registered in the Register, to Agent and Borrower) a new
Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN, as applicable, upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form and comparable statements in accordance with
applicable U.S. laws and regulations and amendments duly executed and completed by such assignee, and to comply from time to time with all applicable U.S. laws and regulations with regard to such
withholding tax exemption. 

        (g)    Deliveries by Borrower.    Upon satisfaction of all applicable requirements specified in subsections (a)
through (f) above, Borrower shall execute and deliver (i) to Agent, the assignor and the assignee, any consent or release (of all or a portion of the obligations of the assignor)
required to be delivered by Borrower in connection with the Assignment Agreement, and (ii) to the assignee, if requested, and the assignor, if applicable, an appropriate Note or Notes. After
delivery of the new Note or Notes, the assignor's Note or Notes, if any, being replaced shall be returned to Borrower marked "replaced". 

        (h)    Effect of Assignment.    Upon satisfaction of all applicable requirements set forth in subsections (a)
through (g) above, and any other condition contained in this Section 11.10, (i) the assignee shall become and thereafter be deemed to be a "Lender" for the purposes of this
Agreement, (ii) the assignor shall be released from its obligations hereunder to the extent that its interest has been assigned, (iii) in the event that the assignor's entire interest
has been assigned, the assignor shall cease to be and thereafter shall no longer be deemed to be a "Lender" and (iv) the signature pages hereto and  Schedule 1 hereto shall be automatically
amended, without further action, to reflect the result of any such assignment. 

        (i)    Agent to Maintain Register.    Agent shall maintain at the address for notices referred to in
Section 11.4 hereof a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register (the "Register") for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and
principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and Borrower, Agent and the Lenders may treat
each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loan recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower or any
Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 

        Section 11.11.    Sale of Participations.    Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its commercial banking
business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell participations to one or more Eligible Transferees (each a "Participant") in all or a portion of its rights or obligations under this
Agreement
and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all or a portion of the Commitment and the Loans and participations owing to it and the Note, if any, held by it); provided that: 

        (a)   any
such Lender's obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged;

        (b)   such
Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; 

        (c)   the
parties hereto shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement and each of
the other Loan Documents; 

        (d)   such
Participant shall be bound by the provisions of Section 9.5 hereof, and the Lender selling such participation shall obtain from such Participant a written
confirmation of its agreement to be so bound; and 

        (e)   no
Participant (unless such Participant is itself a Lender) shall be entitled to require such Lender to take or refrain from taking action under this Agreement or under
any other Loan Document, except that such Lender may agree with such Participant that such Lender will not, without such Participant's consent, take action of the type described as follows: 

          (i)  increase
the portion of the participation amount of any Participant over the amount thereof then in effect, or extend the Commitment Period, without the written consent
of each Participant affected thereby; or 

         (ii)  reduce
the principal amount of or extend the time for any payment of principal of any Loan, or reduce the rate of interest or extend the time for payment of interest on
any Loan, or reduce the commitment fee, without the written consent of each Participant affected thereby. 

Borrower
agrees that any Lender that sells participations pursuant to this Section 11.11 shall still be entitled to the benefits of Article III hereof, notwithstanding any such transfer;
provided that the
obligations of Borrower shall not increase as a result of such transfer and Borrower shall have no obligation to any Participant. 

        Section 11.12.    Replacement of Affected Lenders.    Each Lender agrees, that during the time in which any
Lender is an Affected Lender, Agent shall have the right (and Agent shall, if requested by Borrower), at the sole expense of Borrower, upon notice to such Affected Lender and Borrower, to require that
such Affected Lender assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with the restrictions contained in Section 11.10 hereof), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this
Agreement to an Eligible Transferee, approved by Borrower (unless an Event of Default shall exist) and Agent, that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender
accepts such assignment); provided that such Affected Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all
other amounts payable to it hereunder (recognizing that any Affected Lender may have given up its rights under this Agreement to receive payment of fees and other amounts pursuant to
Section 2.6(e) or (f) hereof), from such Eligible Transferee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or Borrower (in the case of all other amounts,
including any breakage compensation under Article III hereof). 

        Section 11.13.    Patriot Act Notice.    Each Lender and Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any other
party) hereby notifies the Credit Parties that, pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, such Lender and Agent are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Credit
Parties, which information includes the name and address of each of the Credit Parties and other information that will allow such Lender or Agent, as applicable, to identify the Credit Parties in
accordance with the Patriot Act. Borrower shall provide, to the extent commercially reasonable, such information and take such actions as are reasonably requested by Agent or a Lender in order to
assist Agent or such Lender in maintaining compliance with the Patriot Act. 

        Section 11.14.    Severability of Provisions; Captions; Attachments.    Any provision of this Agreement that
shall be prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective 

84

 

to
the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. The
several captions to sections and subsections herein are inserted for convenience only and shall be ignored in interpreting the provisions of this Agreement. Each schedule or exhibit attached to this
Agreement shall be incorporated herein and shall be deemed to be a part hereof. 

        Section 11.15.    Investment Purpose.    Each of the Lenders represents and warrants to Borrower that it is
entering into this Agreement with the present intention of acquiring any Note issued pursuant hereto (or, if there is no Note, the interest as reflected on the books and records of Agent) for
investment purposes only and not for the purpose of distribution or resale, it being understood, however, that each Lender shall at all times retain full control over the disposition of its assets. 

        Section 11.16.    Entire Agreement.    This Agreement, any Note and any other Loan Document or other agreement,
document or instrument attached hereto or executed on or as of the Closing Date integrate all of the terms and conditions mentioned herein or incidental hereto and supersede all oral representations
and negotiations and prior writings with respect to the subject matter hereof. 

        Section 11.17.    Confidentiality.    Agent and each Lender shall hold all Confidential Information in
accordance with the customary procedures of Agent or such Lender for handling confidential information of this nature, and in accordance with safe and sound banking practices. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Agent or any Lender may in any event make disclosures of, and furnish copies of Confidential Information (a) to another agent under this Agreement or another Lender; (b) when
reasonably required by any bona fide transferee or participant in connection with the contemplated transfer of any Loans or Commitment or participation therein (provided that each such prospective
transferee or participant shall have an agreement for the benefit of Borrower with such prospective transferor Lender or participant containing substantially similar provisions to those contained in
this Section 11.17); (c) to the parent corporation or other affiliates of Agent or such Lender, and to their respective auditors and attorneys; and (d) as required or requested by
any Governmental Authority or representative thereof, or pursuant to legal process, provided, that, unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, Agent or such Lender, as
applicable, shall notify the chief financial officer of Borrower of any request by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with an examination
of the financial condition of Agent or such Lender by such Governmental Authority), and of any other request pursuant to legal process, for disclosure of any such non-public information
prior to disclosure of such Confidential Information. In no event shall Agent or any Lender be obligated or required to return any materials furnished by or on behalf of any Company. Borrower hereby
agrees that the failure of Agent or any Lender to comply with the provisions of this Section 11.17 shall not relieve Borrower of any of the obligations to Agent and the Lenders under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 

        Section 11.18.    Limitations on Liability of the Fronting Lender.    Borrower assumes all risks of the acts or
omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit with respect to its use of such Letters of Credit. Neither the Fronting Lender nor any of its officers or directors shall be liable
or responsible for (a) the use that may be made of any Letter of Credit or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith; (b) the validity, sufficiency
or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (c) payment by the
Fronting Lender against presentation of documents that do not comply with the terms of a Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to such Letter
of Credit; or (d) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under any Letter of Credit, except that the account party on such Letter of Credit shall have a claim
against the Fronting Lender, and the Fronting Lender shall be liable to such account party, to the extent of any direct, but not consequential, damages suffered by such account party that such account
party proves were caused by (i) the Fronting Lender's willful misconduct or gross negligence (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction) in 

85

 

determining
whether documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (ii) the Fronting Lender's willful failure to make lawful payment under any
Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of documentation strictly complying with the terms and conditions
of such Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Fronting Lender may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further
investigation. 

        Section 11.19.    General Limitation of Liability.    No claim may be made by any Credit Party, any Lender,
Agent, the Fronting Lender or any other Person against Agent, the Fronting Lender, or any other Lender or the affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agents of any of them for any
damages other than actual compensatory damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith; and Borrower, each Lender, Agent and the Fronting Lender hereby, to the fullest extent
permitted under applicable law, waive, release and agree not to sue or counterclaim upon any such claim for any special, consequential or punitive damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not
known or suspected to exist in their favor. 

        Section 11.20.    No Duty.    All attorneys, accountants, appraisers, consultants and other professional
persons (including the firms or other entities on behalf of which any such Person may act) retained by Agent or any Lender with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents shall
have the right to act exclusively in the interest of Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and shall have no duty of disclosure, duty of loyalty, duty of care, or other duty or obligation of any
type or nature whatsoever to Borrower, any other Companies, or to any other Person, with respect to any matters within the scope of such representation or related to their activities in connection
with such representation. Borrower agrees, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, not to assert any claim or counterclaim against any such persons with regard to such matters, all such claims and
counterclaims, now existing or hereafter arising, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseeable, being hereby waived, released and forever discharged. 

        Section 11.21.    Legal Representation of Parties.    The Loan Documents were negotiated by the parties with
the benefit of legal representation and any rule of construction or interpretation otherwise requiring this Agreement or any other Loan Document to be construed or interpreted against any party shall
not apply to any construction or interpretation hereof or thereof. 

        Section 11.22.    Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction.    

        (a)    Governing Law.    This Agreement, each of the Notes and any Related Writing shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of New York and the respective rights and obligations of Borrower, Agent, and the Lenders shall be governed by New York law, without regard to principles of
conflicts of laws. 

        (b)    Submission to Jurisdiction.    Borrower hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive
jurisdiction of any New York state or federal court sitting in New York County, New York, over any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Obligations or any Related
Writing, and Borrower hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York state or federal court. Borrower, on behalf of
itself and its Subsidiaries, hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue in any action or proceeding in any
such court as well as any right it may now or hereafter have to remove such action or proceeding, once commenced, to another court on the grounds of FORUM NON CONVENIENS or otherwise. Borrower agrees
that a final, non-appealable judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner
provided by law. 

86

 

        Section 11.23.    Legend.    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the liens and security interests
granted to Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, pursuant to this Agreement, and the exercise of any right or remedy by Agent or any Lender hereunder, are subject to the provisions of the
Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement with respect to lien priority or rights and remedies in connection with the
Common Collateral (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement), the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern.

  EXHIBIT F
  FORM OF
  ASSIGNMENT AND ACCEPTANCE AGREEMENT    
    

        This
Assignment and Acceptance Agreement (this "Assignment Agreement")
between                                    (the "Assignor")
and                                    (the "Assignee") is dated as
of                        ,

        1.    Preliminary Statement.    Assignor is a party to a Credit and Security Agreement, dated as of May 19,
2010 (as the same may from time to time be amended, restated or otherwise modified, the "Credit Agreement"), among KRATOS DEFENSE & SECURITY SOLUTIONS, INC., a Delaware corporation
("Borrower"), the lenders named on Schedule 1 thereto (together with their respective successors and assigns, collectively, the "Lenders" and,
individually, each a "Lender"), and KEYBANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as the lead arranger, sole book runner and administrative agent for the Lenders ("Agent"). Capitalized terms used herein and not
otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings attributed to them in the Credit Agreement. 

        2.    Assignment and Assumption.    Assignor hereby sells and assigns to Assignee, and Assignee hereby purchases and
assumes from Assignor, an interest in and to Assignor's rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement, effective as of the Assignment Effective Date (as hereinafter defined), equal to the
percentage interest specified on Annex 1 hereto (hereinafter, the "Assigned Percentage") of Assignor's right, title and interest in and to
(a) the Commitment, (b) any Loan made by Assignor that is outstanding on the Assignment Effective Date, (c) Assignor's interest in any Letter of Credit outstanding on the
Assignment Effective Date, (d) any Note delivered to Assignor pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and (e) the Credit Agreement and the other Related Writings. After giving effect to such
sale and assignment and on and after the Assignment Effective Date, Assignee shall be deemed to
have a "Commitment Percentage" under the Credit Agreement equal to the Commitment Percentage set forth in subpart II on Annex 1 hereto and
an Assigned Amount as set forth on subpart II of Annex 1 hereto (hereinafter, the "Assigned Amount"). 

        3.    Assignment Effective Date.    The Assignment Effective Date (the "Assignment Effective Date") shall be
[                                         
       ,                        ] (or such other date agreed to by Agent). On or prior to the
Assignment Effective Date, Assignor shall satisfy the following
conditions: 

        (a)   receipt

Assignee and accepted and consented to by Agent and, if necessary pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.10(b) of the Credit Agreement, by Borrower; 

        (b)   receipt
by Agent from Assignor of a fee of Three Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($3,500), if required by Section 11.10(d) of the Credit Agreement; 

        (c)   receipt
by Agent from Assignee of an administrative questionnaire, or other similar document, which shall include (i) the address for notices under the Credit
Agreement, (ii) the address of its Lending Office, (iii) wire transfer instructions for delivery of funds by Agent, (iv) and such other information as Agent shall request; and 

        (d)   receipt
by Agent from Assignor or Assignee of any other information required pursuant to Section 11.10 of the Credit Agreement or otherwise necessary to complete
the transaction contemplated hereby. 

        4.    Payment Obligations.    In consideration for the sale and assignment of Loans hereunder, Assignee shall pay to
Assignor, on the Assignment Effective Date, the amount agreed to by Assignee and Assignor. Any interest, fees and other payments accrued prior to the Assignment Effective Date with respect to the
Assigned Amount shall be for the account of Assignor. Any interest, fees and other payments accrued on and after the Assignment Effective Date with respect to the Assigned Amount 

E-8

 

shall
be for the account of Assignee. Each of Assignor and Assignee agrees that it will hold in trust for the other party any interest, fees or other amounts which it may receive to which the other
party is entitled pursuant to the preceding sentence and to pay the other party any such amounts which it may receive promptly upon receipt thereof. 

        5.    Credit Determination; Limitations on Assignor's Liability.    Assignee represents and warrants to Assignor,
Borrower, Agent and the Lenders (a) that it is capable of making and has made and shall continue to make its own credit determinations and analysis based upon such information as Assignee
deemed sufficient to enter into the transaction contemplated hereby and not based on any statements or representations by Assignor; (b) Assignee confirms that it meets the requirements to be an
assignee as set forth in Section 11.10 of the Credit Agreement; (c) Assignee confirms that it is able to fund the Loans and the Letters of Credit as required by the Credit Agreement;
(d) Assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of the Credit Agreement and the Related Writings are required to be performed
by it as a Lender thereunder; and (e) Assignee represents that it has reviewed each of the Loan Documents, including, but not limited to the Intercreditor Agreement and by its signature to this
Assignment Agreement, agrees to be bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of the Intercreditor Agreement as if it were an original party thereto. It is understood and agreed that the
assignment and assumption hereunder are made without recourse to Assignor and that Assignor makes no representation or warranty of any kind to Assignee and shall not be responsible for (i) the
due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or collectability of the Credit Agreement or any Related Writings, (ii) any representation, warranty or statement
made in or in connection with the Credit Agreement or any of the Related Writings, (iii) the financial condition or creditworthiness of Borrower or any Guarantor of Payment, (iv) the
performance of or compliance with any of the terms or provisions of the Credit Agreement or any of the Related Writings, (v) the inspection of any of the property, books or records of Borrower,
or (vi) the validity, enforceability, perfection, priority, condition, value or sufficiency of any collateral securing or purporting to secure the Loans or Letters of Credit. Neither Assignor
nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents or attorneys shall be liable for any mistake, error of judgment, or action taken or omitted to be taken in connection with the Loans, the Letters
of Credit, the Credit Agreement or the Related Writings, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Assignee appoints Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to
exercise such powers under the Credit Agreement as are delegated to Agent by the terms thereof. 

        6.    Indemnity.    Assignee agrees to indemnify and hold Assignor harmless against any and all losses, cost and
expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees) and liabilities incurred by Assignor in connection with or arising in any manner from Assignee's performance or non-performance of
obligations assumed under this Assignment Agreement. 

        7.    Subsequent Assignments.    After the Assignment Effective Date, Assignee shall have the right, pursuant to
Section 11.10 of the Credit Agreement, to assign the rights which are assigned to Assignee hereunder, provided that (a) any such subsequent assignment does not violate any of the terms
and conditions of the Credit Agreement, any of the Related Writings, or any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction or decree and that any consent required under the terms of the
Credit Agreement or any of the Related Writings has been obtained, (b) the assignee under such assignment from Assignee shall agree to assume all of Assignee's obligations hereunder in a manner
satisfactory to Assignor, and (c) Assignee is not thereby released from any of its obligations to Assignor hereunder. 

        8.    Reductions of Aggregate Amount of Commitments.    If any reduction in the Total Commitment Amount occurs between
the date of this Assignment Agreement and the Assignment Effective Date, the percentage of the Total Commitment Amount assigned to Assignee shall remain the percentage specified in Section 1
hereof and the dollar amount of the Commitment of Assignee shall be recalculated based on the reduced Total Commitment Amount. 

E-9

 

        9.    Acceptance of Agent; Notice by Assignor.    This Assignment Agreement is conditioned upon the acceptance and
consent of Agent and, if necessary pursuant to Section 11.10 of the Credit Agreement, upon the acceptance and consent of Borrower; provided that the execution of this Assignment Agreement by
Agent and, if necessary, by Borrower is evidence of such acceptance and consent. 

        10.    Entire Agreement.    This Assignment Agreement embodies the entire agreement and understanding between the
parties hereto and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof. 

        11.    Governing Law.    This Assignment Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, without regard
to conflicts of laws. 

        12.    Notices.    Notices shall be given under this Assignment Agreement in the manner set forth in the Credit
