(ii) Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, if the Borrower or any Subsidiary completes an Asset Sale or is subject to a Casualty Event, in each case which results in Net Cash Proceeds in excess of the greater of $5,000,000 and 2% of Consolidated Total Assets in any fiscal year, then the Borrower shall, no later than five Business Days following the receipt thereof, apply an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds to prepay to the Lenders on a pro rata basis the outstanding principal amount of the Advances; provided that, (A) if no Event of Default exists or would arise therefrom, then such proceeds shall not be required to be so applied on such date to the extent that Borrower shall have delivered a certificate by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent on or prior to such date stating that such Net Cash Proceeds are reasonably expected to be reinvested in fixed or capital assets of any Credit Party within 360 days following the date of such Asset Sale or Casualty Event (which officers’ certificate shall set forth the estimates of the proceeds to be so expended); and (B) if all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds are not reinvested within such 360-day period as provided in clause (A) above, then 100% of such unused portion shall be applied on the last day of such period first to prepay to the Lenders on a pro rata basis the outstanding principal amount of the Advances.

(iii) Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, if the Borrower or any Subsidiary receives Debt Incurrence Proceeds other than those resulting from Permitted Debt, then not later than five Business Days following the receipt of such proceeds, the Borrower shall prepay the Advances in an amount equal to 100% of such Debt Incurrence Proceeds.

(d) Interest; Costs. Each prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amount prepaid to the date of such prepayment and amounts, if any, required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.8 and 2.3(c)(i) as a result of such prepayment being made on such date.

(i) Each voluntary prepayment shall be applied to such Advances and in such order as the Borrower may direct.

(ii) Each mandatory prepayment of the Advances required by Section 2.3(c) shall be applied to the scheduled principal installments of the Advances in direct order of maturity until such time as the Advances are repaid in full.

(a) Advances. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, on the last day of each fiscal quarter ending after the Restatement Date, or if any such date is not a Business Day, on the next preceding Business Day (each such date being called a “Repayment Date”), a principal amount of the initial Advances made on the Restatement Date (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Sections 2.3(b), 2.3(c) and 2.14) equal to $500,000.00, together in each case with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of such payment.

(b) Incremental Advances. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Incremental Lenders, on each Incremental Advance Repayment Date, a principal amount of the Other Advances (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Sections 2.3(b) and 2.3(c)) equal to the amount set forth for such date in the applicable Incremental Agreement, together in each case with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of such payment.

(c) Payment at Maturity. To the extent not previously paid, all Advances and Other Advances shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date and the Incremental Maturity Date, respectively, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be paid to but excluding the date of payment.

(d) Payments Without Premium. All repayments pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be subject to Sections 2.8 and 2.3(c)(i), but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty.

(a) Fee Letters. The Borrower agrees to pay the fees set forth in the Fee Letters as provided therein.

(a) Base Rate Advances. Each Base Rate Advance shall bear interest at the Adjusted Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Advances for such period. The Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the ratable account of each Lender all accrued but unpaid interest on such Lender’s Advances which are Base Rate Advances on each March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31 commencing on June 30, 2014, and on the Maturity Date (unless any such date shall not be a Business Day in which case such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day).

(b) Eurodollar Advances. Each Eurodollar Advance shall bear interest during its Interest Period equal to at all times the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Advances for such period. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of each Lender all accrued but unpaid interest on each of such Lender’s Eurodollar Advances on the last day of the Interest Period therefor (provided that for Eurodollar Advances with Interest Periods in excess of three months, accrued but unpaid interest shall also be due on the day three months from the first day of such Interest Period), on the date any Eurodollar Advance is repaid, and on the Maturity Date.

(c) Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 7.1(a) or Section 7.1(g), all overdue amounts shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at the Default Rate. Interest accrued pursuant to this Section 2.6(c) and all interest accrued but unpaid on or after the Maturity Date shall be due and payable on demand.

Section 2.7. Illegality. If any Lender shall notify the Borrower that any Change in Law makes it unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable Lending Office to perform its obligations under this Agreement to make, maintain, or fund any Eurodollar Advances of such Lender then outstanding hereunder, (a) such Lender may require that all outstanding Eurodollar Advances made by it be converted to Base Rate Advances, in which event all such Eurodollar Advances shall be automatically converted to Base Rate Advances on the last day of the Interest Period then applicable to such Eurodollar Advance, and (b) the right of the Borrower to select Eurodollar Advances from such Lender for any subsequent Borrowing shall be suspended until such Lender shall notify the Borrower that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. Each Lender agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Lending Office if the making of such designation would avoid the effect of this paragraph and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

Section 2.8. Breakage Costs. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Advance other than a Base Rate Advance on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

(b) any failure by the Borrower to prepay, borrow, continue or Convert any Advance other than a Base Rate Advance on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; or

(c) any assignment of an Eurodollar Advance on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.12;

including any loss of anticipated profits, any foreign exchange losses and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Advance, from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained or from the performance of any foreign exchange contract. The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing. For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 2.8, the requesting Lender shall be deemed to have funded the Eurodollar Advances made by it at the Eurodollar Base Rate used in determining the Eurodollar Rate for such Advance by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the offshore interbank market for Dollars for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Advance was in fact so funded.

(i) impose, modify, or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge, assessment, or similar requirement (other than by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements included in the Eurodollar Rate Reserve Percentage) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities or commitments of, financial institutions generally, including any Lender (or its applicable Lending Office), including the Commitments of such Lender hereunder; or

(ii) impose on financial institutions generally, including such Lender (or its applicable Lending Office), or on the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or its Notes or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities or commitments;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender (or its applicable Lending Office) of making, Converting into, continuing, or maintaining any Eurodollar Advances or to reduce any sum received or receivable by such Lender (or its applicable Lending Office) under this Agreement or its Notes with respect to any Eurodollar Advances, then the Borrower shall pay to such Lender within three Business Days after written demand made by such Lender such amount or amounts as such Lender determines in good faith to be necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction.

(b) Capital Adequacy. If, after the date hereof, any Lender shall have determined that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of financial institutions generally, including such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender, as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time within three Business Days after written demand by such Lender the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as such Lender determines in good faith to be necessary to compensate such Lender for such reduction.

(c) Mitigation. Each Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 2.9 and will designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to it. Any Lender claiming compensation under this Section 2.9 shall furnish to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a statement setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder which shall be determined by such Lender in good faith and which shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.9 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.9 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(a) Payments. All payments of principal, interest, and other amounts to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement and other Credit Documents shall be made to the Administrative Agent in Dollars and in immediately available funds, without setoff, deduction, or counterclaim.

(b) Payment Procedures. The Borrower shall make each payment under this Agreement and under the Notes not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day when due in Dollars to the Administrative Agent at the location referred to in the Notes (or such other location as the Administrative Agent shall designate in writing to the Borrower) in same day funds. The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter, and in any event prior to the close of business on the day any timely payment is made, cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal, interest or fees ratably (other than amounts payable solely to the Administrative Agent or a specific Lender pursuant to Sections 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 2.11, 2.12, and 9.2 and such other provisions herein which expressly provide for payments to a specific Lender, but after taking into account payments effected pursuant to Section 9.1) in accordance with each Lender’s applicable pro rata share to the Lenders for the account of their respective applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender for the account of its applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon receipt of other amounts due solely to the Administrative Agent or a specific Lender, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such amounts to the appropriate party to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c) Non Business Day Payments. Whenever any payment shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or fees, as the case may be; provided that if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurodollar Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.

(d) Computations. All computations of interest for Base Rate Advances based upon the Wall Street Journal Rate shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365/366 days and all computations of all other interest and fees shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day, but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or fees are payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an amount of interest or fees shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(e) Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set off, or otherwise) on account of the Advances made by it in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the Advances obtained by the Lenders, such Lender shall notify the other Lenders and forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Advances made by it as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with the other Lenders; provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from the other Lenders shall be rescinded and each such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such Lender’s ratable share, but without interest. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.10(e) may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. The provisions of this Section 2.10(e) shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Advances to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 2.10(e) shall apply).

(a) No Deduction for Certain Taxes. Any and all payments by or on behalf of any Credit Party under or with respect to any of the Credit Documents to the Administrative Agent or a Lender shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.10, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all Taxes, excluding, in the case of the Administrative Agent or a Lender, (i) Taxes imposed on or measured by its net income or profits (however denominated) and franchise (or margin) Taxes imposed on it by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) (A) under the laws of which (or under the laws of a political subdivision of which) it is organized or in which its principal executive office is located or, in the case of a Lender, the laws of which (or under the laws of a political subdivision of which) such Lender’s applicable Lending Office is located, or (B) as a result of a present or former connection between it and the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) imposing such Tax (other than any such connection arising solely from it having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Credit Document); (ii) branch profits Taxes imposed by the United States of America or any similar Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction described in (i); (iii) in the case of a Lender other than a Lender that becomes a party to this Agreement or any other Credit Document pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance, any Taxes imposed by the United States of America by means of withholding at the source pursuant to a law in effect on the date a Lender becomes a

Lender hereunder; (iv) in the case of any Lender that becomes a party to this Agreement or any other Credit Document pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance, any Taxes imposed by the United States of America by means of withholding at the source, except to the extent that, pursuant to this Section 2.11, amounts with respect to such Taxes were payable to such Lender’s assignor immediately before such Lender became a party to this Agreement or such Credit Document with respect to its applicable ownership interest in the Commitments; and (v) any U.S. federal withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA (all such nonexcluded Taxes being hereinafter referred to as “Indemnified Taxes”). Except as provided in Section 2.11(f), if the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that, after making all required deductions (including deductions of Indemnified Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.11), such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made; (ii) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall make such deductions; and (iii) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) Other Taxes. In addition, except as provided in Section 2.11(f), the Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary Taxes or any other excise or property Taxes, charges, or similar levies which arise from any payment made under any Credit Document or from the execution, delivery, or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement, the Notes, or the other Credit Documents (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) Indemnification. Except as provided in Section 2.11(f) and (i), the Borrower will indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 2.11) paid by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted.

(d) Evidence of Tax Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by any Credit Party to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of any receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment, or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Withholding Reduction or Exemption. (i) Each Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or a reduction of, withholding Tax with respect to payments under this Agreement or under any other Credit Document shall, to the extent that it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement and from time to time thereafter at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding. In addition, any Lender shall, to the extent that it is legally entitled to do so, deliver such other documentation to Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement and from time to time thereafter at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine that such Lender is not subject to United States backup withholding and whether or not such Lender is subject to United States information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.11(e)(ii)(A), (B), (C) and (D)(ii)(A) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient), on or before the date on which such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement and from time to time thereafter at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or Administrative Agent, whichever of the following is applicable:

(A) In the case of any Lender that is not a Foreign Lender, duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from United States backup withholding;

(B) In the case of any Foreign Lender, to the extent that it is legally entitled to do so:

(1) duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or any successor form) claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party;

(2) duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor form);

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (1) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (a) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (b) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (c) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and (2) duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN of IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or any successor form); or

(4) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding Tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(C) Without limiting any of the foregoing, if a payment made to a Lender hereunder or under any other Credit Document would be subject to United States federal withholding Taxes imposed pursuant to FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has complied with its obligations under FATCA, or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment; provided, that solely for purposes of this paragraph, the term “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(D) Each Lender further agrees that it shall (i) promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction in withholding Taxes, and (ii) in the event any previous form delivered by such Lender pursuant to this Section 2.11(e) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate, (A) update any such form or certification or (B) promptly deliver any such other properly completed and executed form, certification or documentation as may be required in order to confirm or establish the entitlement of such Lender to an exemption from or a reduction in withholding Taxes with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Credit Document if such Lender continues to be so entitled.

(f) Failure to Provide Forms. For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the Borrower or the Administrative Agent with the appropriate forms referred to in this Section 2.11, such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification or the payment of additional amounts under Section 2.11(a), (b), or (c) with respect to Taxes imposed, to the extent such Taxes are attributable to such failure.

(g) Mitigation. Each Lender shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and legal and regulatory restrictions) to select a jurisdiction for its applicable Lending Office or change the jurisdiction of its applicable Lending Office, as the case may be, so as to avoid the imposition of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes or to eliminate or reduce the payment of any additional sums under this Section 2.11; provided, that no such selection or change of jurisdiction for its applicable Lending Office shall be made if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such selection or change would be disadvantageous to such Lender.

(h) Tax Refunds. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.11, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.11 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the Administrative Agent or any Lender be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the Administrative Agent or such Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Administrative Agent or such Lender would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to any Borrower or any other Person.

(i) Payment. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender becomes entitled to receive payment of Indemnified Taxes, Other Taxes or additional sums pursuant to this Section 2.11, it shall give notice and demand thereof to the Borrower, and the Borrower (unless the Administrative Agent or Lender shall withdraw such notice and demand or the Borrower is not obligated to pay such amounts) shall pay such Indemnified Taxes, Other Taxes or additional sums within 30 days after the Borrower’s receipt of such notice and demand. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither any Lender, the Issuing

Bank, nor the Administrative Agent shall be indemnified for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes under this Section 2.11 unless such Lender, the Issuing Bank, or the Administrative Agent shall make written demand on Borrower for such reimbursement no later than 6 months after the earlier of (i) the date on which the relevant Governmental Authority makes written demand upon such Lender, the Issuing Bank, or the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes or other Taxes, and (ii) the date on which such Lender, the Issuing Bank, or the Administrative Agent has made payment of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority; provided that if the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted giving rise to such claims are retroactive, the 6-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the retroactive effect thereof.

Section 2.12. Replacement of Lenders. If (a) the Borrower is required pursuant to Section 2.9 or 2.11 to make any additional payment to any Lender, (b) any Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender or (c) any Lender’s obligation to make or continue, or to Convert Base Rate Advances into, Eurodollar Advances shall be suspended pursuant to Section 2.3(c)(iii) or 2.7, (any such Lender described in any of the preceding clauses (a) and (b), being a “Subject Lender”), then in the case of any Subject Lender, the Borrower may, upon notice to the Subject Lender and the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense, require such Subject Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 9.7), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Credit Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that, in any event

(A) as to assignments required by the Borrower, the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 9.7;

(B) such Subject Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its applicable Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.8) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(C) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.11, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

(a) The Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, request Incremental Commitments in an aggregate amount not to exceed $100,000,000 from one or more Incremental Lenders, all of which must be Eligible Assignees. Such notice shall set forth (i) the amount of the Incremental Commitments being requested (which shall be in minimum increments of $1,000,000 and a minimum amount of $5,000,000 or such lesser amount equal to the remaining amount available for

Incremental Commitments), (ii) the date on which such Incremental Commitments are requested to become effective (which shall not be less than 10 days nor more than 60 days after the date of such notice), and (iii) whether such Incremental Commitments are commitments to make additional Advances or commitments to make term loans with terms different from the Advances (“Other Advances”).

(b) The Borrower may seek Incremental Commitments from existing Lenders (each of which shall be entitled to agree or decline to participate in its sole discretion) and additional banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders who will become Incremental Lenders in connection therewith. The Borrower and each Incremental Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Agreement and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Incremental Commitment of each Incremental Lender. The terms and provisions of the Incremental Advances shall be consistent with those of the Advances except as otherwise set forth herein or in the Incremental Agreement, and to the extent not consistent with those of the Advances, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Without the prior written consent of the Majority Lenders, (i) the final maturity date of any Other Advances shall be no earlier than the Maturity Date, (ii) the average life to maturity of the Other Advances shall be no shorter than the average life to maturity of the Advances and (iii) if the initial yield on such Other Advances (as determined by the Administrative Agent to be equal to the sum of (x) the margin above the Eurodollar Rate on such Other Advances and (y) if such Other Advances are initially made at a discount or the Lenders making the same receive a fee directly or indirectly from the Borrower or any Subsidiary for doing so (the amount of such discount or fee, expressed as a percentage of the Other Advances, being referred to herein as “OID”), the amount of such OID divided by the lesser of (A) the average life to maturity of such Other Advances and (B) four) exceeds the sum of the Applicable Margin then in effect for Eurodollar Advances plus any fees payable under Section 2.5 and effected in the form of OID by more than 50 basis points (the amount of such excess above 50 basis points being referred to herein as the “Yield Differential”), then the Applicable Margin then in effect for Advances shall automatically be increased by the Yield Differential, effective upon the making of the Other Advances. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Commitment and the Other Advances evidenced thereby, and the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may revise this Agreement to evidence such amendments.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incremental Commitment shall become effective under this Section 2.14 unless (i) such indebtedness is provided the same guarantees, and is secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with the liens securing the Obligations, (ii) on the date of such effectiveness, the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate executed by a Financial Officer of the Borrower certifying that on the date of, and after giving effect to, the incurrence of such Incremental Commitments (and any acquisitions, investments or dispositions made after the beginning of the determination period but prior to or simultaneous with the incurrence of such Incremental Commitments), the Senior Secured Leverage Ratio of the Borrower does not exceed 4.00 to 1.00, (iii) on the date of such effectiveness, the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of an authorized officer of the Borrower certifying that on the date of, and after giving effect to, the incurrence of such Incremental Commitments (A) no Default has occurred and is continuing (except that, in the case of Incremental Commitments incurred in connection with an Acquisition permitted by Section 6.4, this condition shall be limited to Default arising under Section 7.1(a) or Section 7.1(g)) and (B) all representations and warranties made by the Borrower in this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects unless such representation and warranty is already qualified as to materiality or Material Adverse Change in which case such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all respects (except that, in the case of Incremental Commitments incurred in connection with an Acquisition permitted by Section 6.4, this condition shall be limited to the Specified Representations and the

Acquisition Agreement Representations (conformed as applicable for such Acquisition)), (iv) all fees and expenses owing in respect of such Incremental Commitments shall have been paid and (v) except as otherwise specified in the applicable Incremental Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have received (with sufficient copies for each of the Incremental Lenders) legal opinions, board resolutions and other closing certificates reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and consistent with those delivered on the Effective Date under Section 3.1.

(d) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may, with the Borrower’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that all Incremental Advances (other than Other Advances), when originally made, are included in each Borrowing of outstanding Advances on a pro rata basis. This may be accomplished by converting each outstanding Eurodollar Borrowing into a Base Rate Borrowing on the date of each Incremental Advance, or by allocating a portion of each Incremental Advance to each outstanding Eurodollar Borrowing on a pro rata basis. Any conversion of Eurodollar Advances to Base Rate Advances under the preceding sentence shall be subject to Section 2.8. If any Incremental Advance is to be allocated to an existing Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing, then the interest rate thereon for such Interest Period and the other economic consequences thereof shall be as set forth in the applicable Incremental Agreement. In addition, to the extent any Incremental Advances are not Other Advances, the scheduled amortization payments under Section 2.4 required to be made after the making of such Incremental Advances shall be ratably increased by the aggregate principal amount of such Incremental Advances.

Section 2.15. Interest Rate Not Ascertainable. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent reasonably determine in good faith that an interest rate is not ascertainable pursuant to the provisions of the definition of “Eurodollar Rate” and the inability to ascertain such rate is unlikely to be temporary, the “Eurodollar Rate” shall be an alternate rate of interest established by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that is commercially practicable for the Administrative Agent to administer (as determined by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) and is generally accepted as the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest (including the making of appropriate adjustments to such alternate rate and this Agreement (x) to preserve pricing in effect at the time of selection of such alternate rate (but for the avoidance of doubt which shall not be at an interest rate less than the Eurodollar Rate prior to the adoption of the alternate rate) and (y) other changes necessary to reflect the available interest periods for such alternate rate) for syndicated leveraged loans of this type in the United States at such time (any such rate, the “Successor Benchmark Rate”), and the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.3, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement; provided, that if a Successor Benchmark Rate has not been established pursuant to the foregoing, at the option of the Borrower, the Borrower and the Majority Lenders may select a different Successor Benchmark Rate that is reasonably commercially practicable for the Administrative Agent to administer (as determined by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) and, upon not less than 15 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent, such Majority Lenders and the Borrower shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.3, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement; provided, further, that until such Successor Benchmark Rate has been determined pursuant to this paragraph, (i) any request for Borrowing, the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Borrowing of Eurodollar Advances shall be ineffective and (ii) all outstanding Borrowings shall be converted to Borrowing of Base Rate Advances.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY HEREIN, NO LENDER SHALL BE OBLIGATED TO MAKE ADVANCES HEREUNDER UNLESS EACH OF THE FOREGOING CONDITIONS PRECEDENT IS SATISFIED ON OR PRIOR TO MAY 23, 2014.

Section 3.2. Determinations Under Section 3.1. For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 3.1 each Lender shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to the Lenders unless an officer of the Administrative Agent responsible for the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents shall have received written notice from such Lender prior to the Borrowings hereunder specifying its objection thereto and such Lender shall not have made available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowings.

In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Advances as provided for herein, each Credit Party makes, on the Effective Date and on each other date as required or otherwise set forth in this Agreement, the following representations and warranties to the Lenders, all of which shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Advances:

Section 4.1. Organization. Each Credit Party is duly and validly organized and existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or formation. Each Credit Party is authorized to do business and is in good standing in all jurisdictions in which such qualifications or authorizations are necessary except where the failure to be so qualified or authorized could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change. As of the Restatement Date, each Credit Party’s type of organization and jurisdiction of incorporation or formation are set forth on Schedule 4.1.

Section 4.2. Authorization. The execution, delivery, and performance by each Credit Party of each Credit Document and each Revolving Loan Document to which such Credit Party is a party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Augusta Drop Down (a) are within such Credit Party’s powers, (b) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, limited liability company or partnership action, (c) do not contravene any articles or certificate of incorporation or bylaws, partnership or limited liability company agreement binding on or affecting such Credit Party, (d) do not contravene any law or any contractual restriction binding on or affecting such Credit Party, (e) do not result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien prohibited by this Agreement, and (f) do not require any authorization or approval or other action by, or any notice or filing with, any Governmental Authority except, in the case of clauses (d) and (f), to the extent such contravention or the failure to obtain authorization, approval or notice or take other action could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Change.

Section 4.3. Enforceability. The Credit Documents have each been duly executed and delivered by each Credit Party that is a party thereto and each Credit Document constitutes the legal, valid, and binding obligation of each Credit Party that is a party thereto enforceable against such Credit Party in accordance with its terms, except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws at the time in effect affecting the rights of creditors generally and by general principles of equity whether applied by a court of law or equity.

(a) The Initial Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial condition of Augusta and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of the respective dates thereof, except as otherwise expressly noted therein, subject only to normal year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes. As of the date of the aforementioned financial statements, there were no material contingent obligations, material unaccrued liabilities for taxes, material unusual forward or long-term commitments, or material unrealized or anticipated losses of the applicable Persons, except as disclosed therein or as set forth on Schedule 4.4 and adequate reserves for such items have been made in accordance with GAAP.

(b) The Pro Forma Financial Statements have been prepared in good faith by Augusta, based on assumptions believed by Augusta on the Effective Date to be reasonable, based on the assumptions used to prepare the pro forma financial information contained in the Confidential Information Memorandum (which assumptions are believed by the Borrower on the Effective Date to be reasonable), are based on the best information available to Augusta as of the date of delivery thereof, accurately reflect all adjustments required to be made to give effect to the Augusta Drop Down and present fairly, in all material respects, on a pro forma basis the estimated consolidated financial position of Augusta and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of such date and for such period.

(c) Since the Effective Date, no event or condition has occurred that could reasonably be expected to result in Material Adverse Change.

Section 4.5. Ownership and Liens; Real Property. Each Credit Party (a) has good and marketable title to, or a valid and subsisting leasehold interest in, all real property, and good title to all personal Property, in each case necessary for its business, and (b) none of the Property owned by the Borrower or a Subsidiary of the Borrower is subject to any Lien except for minor defects in title that do not materially interfere with its ability to conduct its business or to utilize such assets for their intended purpose and Permitted Liens. As of the Restatement Date, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries own no real property other than that listed on Schedule 4.5 and all equipment (other than office equipment and equipment located on jobsites, in transit or off location for servicing, repairs or modifications) owned by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries are located at the fee owned or leased real property listed on Schedule 4.5.

Section 4.6. True and Complete Disclosure. All written factual information (whether delivered before or after the date of this Agreement and including, for the avoidance of doubt, all written factual information in the Confidential Information Memorandum) prepared by or on behalf of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and furnished to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby does not contain any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. There is no fact known to any Responsible Officer of any

Credit Party on the date of this Agreement that has not been disclosed to the Administrative Agent that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change. All projections, estimates, budgets, and pro forma financial information furnished by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (or on behalf of the Borrower or any such Subsidiary), were prepared on the basis of assumptions, data, information, tests, or conditions (including current and reasonably foreseeable business conditions) believed to be reasonable at the time such projections, estimates, budgets and pro forma financial information were furnished; it being understood that actual results may vary and such variances may be material.

Section 4.7. Litigation. Except as otherwise provided in Schedule 4.7, there are no actions, suits, or proceedings pending or, to any Credit Party’s knowledge, threatened against the Borrower or any Subsidiary, at law, in equity, or in admiralty, or by or before any Governmental Authority, which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change. Additionally, except as disclosed in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, there is no pending or, to the Borrower’s knowledge, threatened action or proceeding instituted against the Borrower or any Subsidiary which seeks to adjudicate the Borrower or any Subsidiary as bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking liquidation, winding up, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, protection, relief, or composition of it or its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking the entry of an order for relief or the appointment of a receiver, trustee or other similar official for it or for any substantial part of its Property; provided that this Section 4.7 does not apply with respect to environmental claims.

(a) Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any indenture, loan or credit agreement or any lease or any other types of agreement or instrument or subject to any charter or corporate restriction or provision of applicable law or governmental regulation the performance of or compliance with which could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default under or with respect to any contract, agreement, lease or any other types of agreement or instrument to which the Borrower or such Subsidiary is a party and which could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change. To the knowledge of the Credit Parties, neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default under, or has received a notice of default under, any contract, agreement, lease or any other document or instrument to which the Borrower or its Subsidiaries is a party which is continuing and which, if not cured, could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

Section 4.9. Pension Plans. (a) Except for matters that could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change, all Plans are in compliance with all applicable provisions of ERISA, (b) no Termination Event has occurred with respect to any Plan that would result in an Event of Default under Section 7.1(i), and, except for matters that could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change, each Plan has complied with and been administered in accordance with applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code, (c) no “accumulated funding deficiency” (as defined in Section 302 of ERISA) has occurred with respect to any Plan, and for plan years after December 31, 2007, no unpaid minimum required contribution exists with respect to any Plan, and there has been no excise tax imposed under Section 4971 of the Code with respect to any Plan, (d) to the knowledge of Credit Parties, no Reportable Event has occurred with respect to any Multiemployer Plan, and each Multiemployer Plan has complied with and been administered in accordance with applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code, (e) the present value of all benefits vested under each Plan (based on the assumptions used to fund such Plan) did not, as of the last annual valuation date applicable thereto, exceed the value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such vested benefits in an amount that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change, (f) neither the Borrower nor any member of the Controlled Group has had a

complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan for which there is any unsatisfied withdrawal liability that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change or an Event of Default under Section 7.1(j), and (g) except for matters that could not reasonably result in a Material Adverse Change, as of the most recent valuation date applicable thereto, neither the Borrower nor any member of the Controlled Group would become subject to any liability under ERISA if the Borrower or any Subsidiary has received notice that any Multiemployer Plan is insolvent or in reorganization. Based upon GAAP existing as of the date of this Agreement and current factual circumstances, no Credit Party has any reason to believe that the annual cost during the term of this Agreement to the Borrower or any Subsidiary for post-retirement benefits to be provided to the current and former employees of the Borrower or any Subsidiary under Plans that are welfare benefit plans (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) could, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

(a) Permits, Etc. Each Credit Party (i) has obtained all material Environmental Permits necessary for the ownership and operation of its Properties and the conduct of its businesses; (ii) has at all times since the date six months prior to the Effective Date been and is currently in material compliance with all terms and conditions of such Environmental Permits and with all other material requirements of applicable Environmental Laws; (iii) has not received written notice of any material violation or alleged material violation of any Environmental Law or Environmental Permit; and (iv) is not subject to any actual or contingent Environmental Claim which could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

(c) Certain Actions. Without limiting the foregoing and except as disclosed on Schedule 4.10, (i) all necessary material notices have been properly filed, and no further action is required under current applicable Environmental Law as to each Response or other restoration or remedial project undertaken by the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of the Borrower’s or such Subsidiary’s former Subsidiaries on any of their presently or formerly owned or operated Property and (ii) the present and, to the Credit Parties’ knowledge, future liability, if any, of the Borrower or of any Subsidiary which could reasonably be expected to arise in connection with requirements under Environmental Laws will not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.

Section 4.11. Subsidiaries. As of the Restatement Date, the Borrower has no Subsidiaries other than those listed on Schedule 4.11. Each Subsidiary of the Borrower (including any such Subsidiary formed or acquired subsequent to the Restatement Date) has complied with the requirements of Section 5.6.

Section 4.13. Taxes. Proper and accurate (in all material respects), U.S. federal income Tax returns, and all material state, local and foreign Tax returns, reports and statements required to be filed (after giving effect to any extension granted in the time for filing) by the Borrower and each Subsidiary (hereafter collectively called the “Tax Group”) have been filed with the appropriate Governmental Authorities, and all Taxes and other impositions due and payable, in each case, which are material in amount, have been timely paid prior to the date on which any fine, penalty, interest, late charge or loss may be added thereto for non-payment thereof except where contested in good faith by appropriate proceeding and for which adequate reserves have been established in compliance with GAAP. Neither the Borrower nor any member of the Tax Group has given, or been requested to give, a waiver of the statute of limitations relating to the payment of any federal, state, local or foreign Taxes or other impositions. Proper and accurate amounts have been withheld by the Borrower and all other members of the Tax Group from their employees for all periods to comply in all material respects with the Tax, social security and unemployment withholding provisions of applicable federal, state, local and foreign law. The Borrower is, and since its inception, has been treated as an entity that is not taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Section 4.14. Permits, Licenses, etc. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries possesses all permits, licenses, patents, patent rights or licenses, trademarks, trademark rights, trade names rights, and copyrights which are material to the conduct of its business.

The material Properties used or to be used in the continuing operations of the Borrower and each Subsidiary, are in good working order and condition, normal wear and tear and casualty and condemnation (excluding casualty and condemnation which could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change) excepted. Neither the business nor the material Properties of the Borrower or any Subsidiary has been affected as a result of any fire, explosion, earthquake, flood, drought, windstorm, accident, strike or other labor disturbance, embargo, requisition or taking of Property or cancellation of contracts, permits or concessions by a Governmental Authority, riot, activities of armed forces or acts of God or of any public enemy, which effect could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

Section 4.17. Insurance. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries carry insurance (which may be carried by the Borrower on a consolidated basis) with reputable insurers in respect of such of their respective Properties, in such amounts and against such risks as is customarily maintained by other Persons of similar size engaged in similar businesses.

No right, power, or remedy conferred to any Lender in this Agreement or the Credit Documents, or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, by statute, or otherwise shall be exclusive, and each such right, power, or remedy shall to the full extent permitted by law be cumulative and in addition to every other such right, power or remedy. No course of dealing and no delay in exercising any right, power, or remedy conferred to any Lender in this Agreement

and the Credit Documents or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, by statute, or otherwise shall operate as a waiver of or otherwise prejudice any such right, power, or remedy. Any Lender may cure any Event of Default without waiving the Event of Default. No notice to or demand upon the Borrower or any other Credit Party shall entitle the Borrower or any other Credit Party to similar notices or demands in the future.

Section 7.6. Application of Payments. Prior to an Event of Default, all payments made hereunder shall be applied by the Administrative Agent as directed by the Borrower, but subject to the terms of this Agreement, including the application of prepayments according to Section 2.3 and Section 2.10.

Section 8.1. Appointment, Powers, and Immunities. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to act as its agent under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents with such powers and discretion as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (which terms as used in this sentence and in Section 8.5 and the first sentence of Section 8.6 shall include each of their respective Affiliates and their own and each of their respective Affiliates’ officers, directors, employees, and agents): (a) shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and shall not be a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender; (b) shall not be responsible to the Lenders for any recital, statement, representation, or warranty (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with any Credit Document or any certificate or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any of them under, any Credit Document, or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability, or sufficiency of any Credit Document, or any other document referred to or provided for therein or for any failure by any Credit Party or any other Person to perform any of its obligations thereunder; (c) shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify the performance or observance of any covenants or agreements by any Credit Party or the satisfaction of any condition or to inspect the Property (including the books and records) of any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates; (d) shall not be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection proceedings under any Credit Document unless requested by the Majority Lenders in writing and it receives indemnification satisfactory to it from the Lenders; and (e) shall not be responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under or in connection with any Credit Document, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, with reasonable care.

Section 8.2. Reliance by Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice, instrument, writing, or other communication (including any thereof by telephone or telecopy) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel for any Credit Party), independent accountants, and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Notes as the holder thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent receives and accepts an Assignment and Acceptance executed in accordance with Section 9.7. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Majority Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding on all of the Lenders; provided, however, that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be required to take any action that exposes the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to personal liability or that is contrary to any Credit Document or applicable law or unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking any such action.

Section 8.3. Defaults. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default unless the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower specifying such Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of a Default, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. The

Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall (subject to Section 8.2) take such action with respect to such Default as shall reasonably be directed by the Majority Lenders, provided that, unless and until the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Lenders.

Section 8.4. Rights as Lender. With respect to its Commitments and the Advances made by it, Morgan Stanley (and any successor acting as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent) in its capacity as a Lender hereunder shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not acting as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent in its individual capacity. Morgan Stanley (and any successor acting as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent) and its Affiliates may (without having to account therefor to any Lender) accept deposits from, lend money to, make investments in, provide services to, and generally engage in any kind of lending, trust, or other business with any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates as if it were not acting as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, and Morgan Stanley (and any successor acting as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent) and its Affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

Section 8.5. Indemnification. THE LENDERS SEVERALLY AGREE TO INDEMNIFY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ARRANGERS, THE COLLATERAL AGENT AND EACH OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS (TO THE EXTENT NOT REIMBURSED BY THE BORROWER), RATABLY ACCORDING TO THE RESPECTIVE PRINCIPAL AMOUNTS OF THE ADVANCES THEN HELD BY EACH OF THEM (OR IF NO PRINCIPAL OF THE ADVANCES IS AT THE TIME OUTSTANDING, RATABLY ACCORDING TO THE RESPECTIVE AMOUNTS OF THE COMMITMENTS THEN HELD BY EACH OF THEM, OR, IF NO SUCH PRINCIPAL AMOUNTS ARE THEN OUTSTANDING AND NO COMMITMENTS ARE THEN EXISTING, RATABLY ACCORDING TO THE COMMITMENTS HELD BY EACH OF THEM IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO THE TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION THEREOF), FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, ACTIONS, JUDGMENTS, SUITS, COSTS, EXPENSES, OR DISBURSEMENTS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE WHATSOEVER WHICH MAY BE IMPOSED ON, INCURRED BY, OR ASSERTED AGAINST THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ARRANGERS OR THE COLLATERAL AGENT IN ANY WAY RELATING TO OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ACTION TAKEN OR OMITTED BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ARRANGERS OR THE COLLATERAL AGENT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT (IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT), AND INCLUDING ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES, PROVIDED THAT NO LENDER SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY PORTION OF SUCH LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, ACTIONS, JUDGMENTS, SUITS, COSTS, EXPENSES, OR DISBURSEMENTS RESULTING FROM THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S, THE ARRANGERS’ OR THE COLLATERAL AGENT’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. WITHOUT LIMITATION OF THE FOREGOING, EACH LENDER AGREES TO REIMBURSE THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ARRANGERS AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT PROMPTLY UPON DEMAND FOR ITS RATABLE SHARE (DETERMINED AS SET FORTH ABOVE IN THIS PARAGRAPH) OF ANY OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES (INCLUDING COUNSEL FEES) INCURRED BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ARRANGERS OR THE COLLATERAL

AGENT IN CONNECTION WITH THE PREPARATION, EXECUTION, DELIVERY, ADMINISTRATION, MODIFICATION, AMENDMENT, OR ENFORCEMENT (WHETHER THROUGH NEGOTIATIONS, LEGAL PROCEEDINGS, OR OTHERWISE) OF, OR LEGAL ADVICE IN RESPECT OF RIGHTS OR RESPONSIBILITIES UNDER, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT, TO THE EXTENT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ARRANGERS AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT ARE NOT REIMBURSED FOR SUCH BY THE BORROWER.

Section 8.6. Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of the Borrower and the other Credit Parties and decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under the Credit Documents. Except for notices, reports, and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder and for other information in the Administrative Agent’s possession which has been requested by a Lender and for which such Lender pays the Administrative Agent’s expenses in connection therewith, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition, or business of any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates.

Section 8.7. Resignation of Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent. The Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of notice of any such resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent with, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the consent of the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If no successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders with the consent of the Borrower, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Borrower (subject to consultation with the Borrower), appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, which shall be, in the case of a successor agent, a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $250,000,000; provided that, if the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Credit Documents, the retiring Collateral Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Collateral Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the retiring Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Majority Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent by a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, such successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges, and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Article 8 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

(a) The Administrative Agent is authorized on behalf of the Secured Parties, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from such Secured Parties, from time to time, to take any actions with respect to any Collateral or Security Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain the Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Security Documents. The Administrative Agent is further authorized (but not obligated) on behalf of the Secured Parties, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from the Secured Parties, from time to time, to take any action in exigent circumstances as may be reasonably necessary to preserve any rights or privileges of the Secured Parties under the Credit Documents or applicable Legal Requirements. By accepting the benefit of the Liens granted pursuant to the Security Documents, each Secured Party hereby agrees to the terms of this paragraph (a).

(b) The Lenders hereby, and any other Secured Party by accepting the benefit of the Liens granted pursuant to the Security Documents, irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to (i) release any Lien granted to or held by the Administrative Agent upon any Collateral (a) upon termination of this Agreement, termination of all Hedging Agreements with such Persons (other than Hedging Agreements as to which arrangements satisfactory to the applicable counterparty in its sole discretion have been made), and the payment in full of all outstanding Advances and all other Secured Obligations payable under this Agreement and under any other Credit Document; (b) constituting property sold or to be sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any disposition permitted under this Agreement or any other Credit Document; (c) constituting property in which no Credit Party owned an interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; or (d) constituting property leased to any Credit Party under a lease which has expired or has been terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement or is about to expire and which has not been, and is not intended by such Credit Party to be, renewed or extended; and (ii) release a Guarantor from its obligations under a Guaranty and any other applicable Credit Document if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted under this Agreement. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent at any time, the Secured Parties will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 8.8.

(c) Notwithstanding anything contained in any of the Credit Documents to the contrary, the Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent, and each Secured Party hereby agree that no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under the Security Documents may be exercised solely by Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and the other Credit Documents. By accepting the benefit of the Liens granted pursuant to the Security Documents, each Secured Party not party hereto hereby agrees to the terms of this paragraph (c).

Section 8.9. No Other Duties, etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Arrangers listed on the cover page hereof shall not have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the Collateral Agent hereunder.

Section 8.10. Flood Laws. The Administrative Agent has adopted internal policies and procedures that address requirements placed on federally regulated lenders under the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994 and related legislation (the “Flood Laws”). Upon request of any Lender, the Administrative Agent will provide to such Lender any documents that the Administrative Agent receives in connection with the Flood Laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Lender and participant is responsible for assuring its own compliance with requirements under Flood Laws.

Section 8.11. Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If any payment has been made to any Lender by the Administrative Agent without the applicable withholding Tax being withheld from such payment and the Administrative Agent has paid over the applicable withholding Tax to the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority, or the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective or for any other reason, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Credit Document, each Lender hereby agrees to waive any amounts payable by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.8 that would have resulted from a refinancing of this Agreement or a Repricing Transaction.

Section 9.4. Severability. In case one or more provisions of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein or therein shall not be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 9.5. Survival of Representations and Obligations. All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or made in writing by or on behalf of the Credit Parties in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, the making of the Advances and any investigation made by or on behalf of the Lenders, none of which investigations shall diminish any Lender’s right to rely on such representations and warranties. All obligations of the Borrower or any other Credit Party provided for in Sections 2.8, 2.9, 2.11(c), 9.1 and 9.2 and all of the obligations of the Lenders in Section 8.5 shall survive any termination of this Agreement and repayment in full of the Obligations.

Section 9.6. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and when the Administrative Agent shall have, as to each Lender, either received a counterpart hereof executed by such Lender or been notified by such Lender that such Lender has executed it and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and each Lender and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that neither the Borrower nor any other Credit Party shall have the right to assign its rights or delegate its duties under this Agreement or any interest in this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Lender.

(a) Each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Advances, its Notes, and its Commitments); provided, however, that (i) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee; (ii) except in the case of an assignment to another Lender or an assignment of all of a Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, any such partial assignment shall be in an amount at least equal to $1,000,000 unless the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents to a lower amount (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to such lower amount unless it shall have objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof; (iii) each assignment of a Lender’s rights and obligations with respect to Advances and its Commitments shall be of a constant, and not varying, percentage of all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement as a Lender and the Notes (other than rights of reimbursement and indemnity arising before the effective date of such assignment); and (iv) the parties to such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance an Assignment and Acceptance or Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Notes subject to such assignment and the assignor or assignee Lender shall pay a processing fee of $3,500; provided that such processing fee shall not be required for the initial assignments made by Morgan Stanley as a Lender in connection with the initial syndication of its Commitments hereunder and such processing fee may be waived at the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent. Upon execution, delivery, and acceptance of such Assignment and Acceptance or Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance and payment of the processing fee, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of such assignment, have the obligations, rights, and benefits of a Lender hereunder and the assigning Lender shall, to the extent of such assignment, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement. Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this Section 9.7, the assignor, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that, if requested, new Notes are issued to the assignor and the assignee. The assignee shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent any applicable forms or certifications in accordance with Section 2.11(e).

(b) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower for tax purposes, shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 9.9 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance or Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitments of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Advances owing to, each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and, with respect to itself, any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice, provided that the information contained in the Register which is shared with each Lender (other than the Administrative Agent and its affiliates) shall be limited to the entries with respect to such Lender including the Commitment of, or principal amount of and stated interest on the Advances owing to such Lender.

(c) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance or Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance executed by the parties thereto, together with any Notes subject to such assignment and payment of the processing fee, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance or Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance has been completed, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance or Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register, and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the parties thereto.

(d) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more Persons in all or a portion of its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments or its Advances) provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the participant shall be entitled to the benefit of the yield protection provisions contained in Sections 2.8 and 2.9 (but with respect to any particular participant, to no greater extent than the Lender that sold the participation to such participant) and the right of set-off contained in Section 7.4, and (iv) the Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Borrower relating to its Advances and its Notes and to approve any amendment, modification, or waiver of any provision of this Agreement (other than amendments, modifications, waivers, increases in Advances or Commitments of such participant, decreasing the amount of principal of or the rate at which interest is payable on such Advances or Notes, extending any scheduled principal payment date or date fixed for the payment of interest on such Advances or Notes, extending its Commitment or releases of all or substantially all of the value of the Guaranty or all or substantially all of the Collateral other than in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents). Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Advances or other obligations under the Credit Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Credit Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Treasury Regulation Section 5f.103-1(c), proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.163-5 and any applicable temporary, final or other successor regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(f) Any Lender may furnish any information concerning the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in the possession of such Lender from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants), subject, however, to the provisions of the following Section 9.8.

(g) Subject to the other provisions of this Section 9.7 and the provisions of Section 9.22, any Affiliated Lender may purchase or sell outstanding Advances from the Effective Date until the Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, on the following basis:

(i) any such purchase or sale of Advances shall be consummated as an assignment otherwise in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.7 and pursuant to an Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance in lieu of an Assignment and Acceptance (it being understood and agreed that any such purchase or sale of Advances that does not comply with this Section 9.7 and Section 9.22 shall not be effective as an assignment hereunder);

(ii) any such purchase of Advances may be made by the applicable Affiliated Lender from time to time from one or more Lenders of such Affiliated Lender’s choosing and need not be made from all Lenders; and

(iii) at the time of purchase, the aggregate principal amount of the Advances held by all Affiliated Lenders shall not exceed 25.0% of the total Advances outstanding at any time.

Section 9.8. Confidentiality. The Administrative Agent and each Lender (each a “Lending Party”) agree to keep confidential any information furnished or made available to it by any Credit Party pursuant to this Agreement and identified by such Credit Party as proprietary or confidential; provided that nothing herein shall prevent any Lending Party from disclosing such information (a) to any other Lending Party or any Affiliate of any Lending Party, or any officer, director, employee, agent, or advisor of any Lending Party or Affiliate of any Lending Party for purposes of administering, negotiating, considering, processing, implementing, syndicating, assigning, or evaluating the credit facilities provided herein and the transactions contemplated hereby or any Hedging Arrangement (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and will be instructed to keep such information confidential), (b) to any other Person if directly incidental to the administration of the credit facilities provided herein (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and will be instructed to keep such information confidential), (c) as required by any Legal Requirement (with, to the extent permitted by applicable law, prompt notice to the Borrower), (d) upon the order of any court or administrative agency (with, to the extent permitted by applicable law, prompt notice to the Borrower), (e) upon the request or demand of any regulatory agency or authority having jurisdiction or purporting to have jurisdiction over such Lending Party (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (f) that is or becomes available to the public (other than as a result of a breach of this Section by such Lending Party) or that is or becomes available to any Lending Party on a non-confidential basis as a result of a disclosure by any Person other than a Credit Party, (g) in connection with any litigation relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document to which such Lending Party or any of its Affiliates may be a party (with, to the extent permitted by applicable law, prompt notice to the Borrower), (h) to the extent necessary in

connection with the exercise of any right or remedy under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (i) to any actual or proposed participant or Eligible Assignee, in each case, subject to provisions similar to those contained in this Section 9.8 and, in the event such participant or Eligible Assignee is a direct competitor of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries and no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, with the prior written consent of the Borrower, (j) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the credit facilities provided herein, (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the credit facilities provided herein, or (iii) any credit insurer, and (k) with the consent of the Borrower. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN, nothing in this Agreement shall (a) restrict any Lending Party from providing information to any bank or other regulatory or governmental authorities, including the Federal Reserve Board and its supervisory staff; (b) require or permit any Lending Party to disclose to any Credit Party that any information will be or was provided to the Federal Reserve Board or any of its supervisory staff; or (c) require or permit any Lending Party to inform any Credit Party of a current or upcoming Federal Reserve Board examination or any nonpublic Federal Reserve Board supervisory initiative or action. In the event that any of the terms of this Section 9.8 conflict with any non-disclosure agreement executed by a Lending Party prior to the date hereof, then the terms of this Section 9.8 shall govern and control.

(a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) below, all notices and other communications (other than Notices of Borrowing and Notices of Continuation or Conversion, which are governed by Article 2 of this Agreement) shall be in writing and hand delivered with written receipt, telecopied, sent by facsimile (with a hard copy sent as otherwise permitted in this Section 9.9), sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier, or sent by certified mail, return receipt requested as follows: if to a Credit Party, as specified on Schedule I, if to the Administrative Agent at its credit contact specified under its name on Schedule I, and if to any Lender at is credit contact specified in its Administrative Questionnaire. Each party may change its notice address by written notification to the other parties. All such notices and communications shall be effective when delivered, except that notices and communications to any Lender pursuant to Article 2 shall not be effective until received and, in the case of telecopy, such receipt is confirmed by such Lender verbally or in writing. Notices delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in paragraph (b) below, shall be effect as provided in said paragraph (b).

(b) Notices and other communications to the Administrative Agent and each Lender hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail, internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that (x) such communication is followed promptly by an original delivered in accordance with paragraph (a) above and (y) the foregoing shall not apply to notices to the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to Article 2 if such person has notified the Borrower that it is incapable of receiving notices under such article by electronic communication. Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon sender’s receipt of an acknowledgment from the recipient (such as by the “Return Receipt Requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgment), and (ii) notices or communications posted to an internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (1) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

Section 9.10. Usury Not Intended. It is the intent of each Credit Party and each Lender in the execution and performance of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents to contract in strict compliance with applicable usury laws, including conflicts of law concepts, governing the Advances of each Lender including such applicable laws of the State of Texas, if any, and the United States of America from time to time in effect. In furtherance thereof, the Lenders and the Credit Parties stipulate and agree that none of the terms and provisions contained in this Agreement or the other Credit Documents shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay, as consideration for the use, forbearance or detention of money, interest at a rate in excess of the Maximum Rate and that for purposes of this Agreement “interest” shall include the aggregate of all charges which constitute interest under such laws that are contracted for, charged or received under this Agreement; and in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, under any circumstances the aggregate amounts taken, reserved, charged, received or paid on the Advances, include amounts which by applicable law are deemed interest which would exceed the Maximum Rate, then such excess shall be deemed to be a mistake and each Lender receiving same shall credit the same on the principal of its Notes (or if such Notes shall have been paid in full, refund said excess to the Borrower). In the event that the maturity of the Notes are accelerated by reason of any election of the holder thereof resulting from any Event of Default under this Agreement or otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest may never include more than the Maximum Rate, and excess interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement or otherwise shall be canceled automatically as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited on the applicable Notes (or, if the applicable Notes shall have been paid in full, refunded to the Borrower of such interest). In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable under any specific contingencies exceeds the Maximum Rate, the Credit Parties and the Lenders shall to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law amortize, prorate, allocate and spread in equal parts during the period of the full stated term of the Notes all amounts considered to be interest under applicable law at any time contracted for, charged, received or reserved in connection with the Obligations. The provisions of this Section shall control over all other provisions of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents which may be in apparent conflict herewith.

Section 9.11. Usury Recapture. In the event the rate of interest chargeable under this Agreement at any time is greater than the Maximum Rate, the unpaid principal amount of the Advances shall bear interest at the Maximum Rate until the total amount of interest paid or accrued on the Advances equals the amount of interest which would have been paid or accrued on the Advances if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In the event, upon payment in full of the Advances, the total amount of interest paid or accrued under the terms of this Agreement and the Advances is less than the total amount of interest which would have been paid or accrued if the rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had, at all times, been in effect, then the Borrower shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, pay the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders an amount equal to the difference between (i) the lesser of (A) the amount of interest which would have been charged on its Advances if the Maximum Rate had, at all times, been in effect and (B) the amount of interest which would have accrued on its Advances if the rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect and (ii) the amount of interest actually paid under this Agreement on its Advances. In the event the Lenders ever receive, collect or apply as interest any sum in excess of the Maximum Rate, such excess amount shall, to the extent permitted by law, be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Advances, and if no such principal is then outstanding, such excess or part thereof remaining shall be paid to the Borrower.

EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT ANY PARTY HERETO MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.

Section 9.14. Waiver of Venue. EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN SECTION 9.13. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.

Section 9.15. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

Section 9.17. Subordination Agreements. The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of the Lenders to enter into the Subordination Agreements. A copy of each such Subordination Agreement will be made available to each Secured Party upon request. Each Secured Party (by receiving the benefits thereunder and of the Collateral) acknowledges and agrees to the terms of each such Subordination Agreement and agrees that the terms thereof shall be binding on such Secured Party and its successors and assigns, as if it were a party thereto.

Section 9.18. USA Patriot Act. Each Lender that is subject to the Patriot Act and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies each Credit Party that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies such Credit Party, which information includes the name and address of such Credit Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify such Credit Party in accordance with the Patriot Act.

Section 9.19. No Fiduciary or Agency Relationship. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, any Lender nor any Affiliate thereof has assumed, and neither the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, any Lender nor any Affiliate thereof will assume, an agency or fiduciary responsibility in the Borrower’s, its Subsidiaries’ or their respective Affiliates’ favor with respect to the Credit Documents or any of the transactions contemplated thereby (irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, any Lender or any Affiliate thereof has advised or is currently advising the Borrower, its Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates on other matters).

Section 9.20. Integration. THIS WRITTEN AGREEMENT AND THE CREDIT DOCUMENTS, AS DEFINED IN THIS AGREEMENT, REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES AND SUPERSEDE ALL PRIOR UNDERSTANDINGS AND AGREEMENTS, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, RELATING TO THE TRANSACTIONS PROVIDED FOR HEREIN AND THEREIN. ADDITIONALLY, THIS AGREEMENT AND THE CREDIT DOCUMENTS MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.

IN EXECUTING THIS AGREEMENT, EACH CREDIT PARTY HEREBY WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS IT IS NOT RELYING ON ANY STATEMENT OR REPRESENTATION OTHER THAN THOSE IN THIS AGREEMENT AND IS RELYING UPON ITS OWN JUDGMENT AND ADVICE OF ITS ATTORNEYS.

Section 9.21. Intercreditor Agreement. Each of the Lenders (a) acknowledges that it has received a copy of the Intercreditor Agreement, (b) consents to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, (c) agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and (d) authorizes and instructs the Collateral Agent to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement (including any and all amendments, amendments and restatements, modifications, supplements and acknowledgements thereto permitted hereby) from time to time as Collateral Agent and on behalf of such Person, and by its acceptance of the benefits of the Security Documents, hereby acknowledges and agrees to be bound by such provisions. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent acknowledge that the Lien and security interest granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Documents and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent thereunder, are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement.
