8. Integration. This Amendment, together with the Credit Agreement and the Other Documents, incorporates all negotiations of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and is the final expression and agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.

9. Severability. If any part of this Amendment is contrary to, prohibited by, or deemed invalid under Applicable Laws or regulations, such provision shall be inapplicable and deemed omitted to the extent so contrary, prohibited or invalid, but the remainder hereof shall not be invalidated thereby and shall be given effect so far as possible.

10. Submission of Amendment. The submission of this Amendment to the parties or their agents or attorneys for review or signature does not constitute a commitment by Agent or the Lenders to modify the Credit Agreement, and this Amendment shall have no binding force or effect until all of the conditions to the effectiveness of this Amendment have been satisfied as set forth herein.

11. Guarantors’ Acknowledgment. With respect to the amendments to the Credit Agreement effected by this Amendment, each Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees to this Amendment and confirms and agrees that its Guaranty and each Security Document to which it is a party (as modified and supplemented in connection with this Amendment) is and shall continue to be, in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects except that, upon the effectiveness of, and on and after the date of this Amendment, each reference in such Guaranty and Security Document to the Credit Agreement, “thereunder,” “thereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement as amended or modified by this Amendment. Although Agent and the Lenders have informed the Guarantors of the matters set forth above, and each Guarantor has acknowledged the same, each Guarantor understands and agrees that neither Agent nor any Lender has any duty under the Credit Agreement, the Guaranty or any other agreement with any Guarantor to so notify any Guarantor or to seek such an acknowledgement, and nothing contained herein is intended to or shall create such a duty as to any transaction hereafter. Each Credit Party hereby ratifies and reaffirms the validity, enforceability and perfection of the Liens and security interests granted to the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties to secure any of the Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement and including after giving effect to this Amendment) by each Credit Party pursuant to the Other Documents to which any Credit Party is a party and agrees that the Liens and security interests granted pursuant to the Other Documents shall continue to secure Obligations under the Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment.

In entering into this Agreement, each Borrower and each other Credit Party consulted with, and has been represented by, legal counsel and expressly disclaims any reliance on any representations, acts or omissions by any of the Releasees and hereby agrees and acknowledges that the validity and effectiveness of the releases set forth above do not depend in any way on any such representations, acts and/or omissions or the accuracy, completeness or validity thereof. The provisions of this Section 12 shall survive the termination of this Amendment, the Credit Agreement, the Other Documents and payment in full of the Obligations.

(b) Each Borrower and each other Credit Party hereby agrees that the Releasees shall each be an Indemnified Party and entitled to the benefits of Section 16.5 of the Credit Agreement, including, without limitation, with respect to any Claims arising from or in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery, performance, administration and enforcement of this Amendment or any other document executed and/or delivered in connection therewith.

(c) Each Borrower and each other Credit Party, on behalf of itself and its successors, assigns, and other legal representatives, hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably, covenants and agrees with and in favor of each Releasee that it will not sue (at law, in equity, in any regulatory proceeding or otherwise) any Releasee, and will not assert in any proceeding any counterclaim or crossclaim against any Releasee, in each case on the basis of any Claim released, remised and discharged by any Borrower or any other Credit Party pursuant to Section 12(a) hereof. If any Borrower, any other Credit Party or any of its successors, assigns or other legal representatives violates the foregoing covenant, each Borrower and each other Credit Party, each for itself and its successors, assigns and legal representatives, agrees to pay, in addition to such other damages as any Releasee may sustain as a result of such violation, all attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by any Releasee as a result of such violation.

The Revolving Advances (other than Swing Loans) shall be evidenced, if requested by such Lender, by one or more promissory notes (collectively, the “Revolving Credit Note”) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1(a).

2.2. Procedures for Requesting Revolving Advances; Procedures for Selection of Applicable Interest Rates for All Advances.

(a) Borrowing Agent on behalf of any Borrower may notify Agent prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on a Business Day of a Borrower’s request to incur, on that day, a Revolving Advance hereunder. Should any amount required to be paid as interest hereunder, or as fees or other charges under this Agreement or any Other Document become due, same shall be deemed a request for a Revolving

Advance maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan as of the date such payment is due, in the amount required to pay in full such interest, fee, charge or Obligation under this Agreement or any other agreement with Agent or Lenders, and such request shall be irrevocable.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) above, in the event any Borrower desires to obtain a LIBOR Rate Loan, Borrowing Agent shall give Agent written notice by no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the day which is three (3) Business Days prior to the date such LIBOR Rate Loan is to be borrowed, specifying (i) the date of the proposed borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the type of borrowing and the amount on the date of such Advance to be borrowed, which amount shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $500,000 and in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof thereafter, and (iii) the duration of the first Interest Period therefor. Interest Periods for LIBOR Rate Loans shall be for one, two or three months; provided, if an Interest Period would end on a day that is not a Business Day, it shall end on the next succeeding Business Day unless such day falls in the next succeeding calendar month in which case the Interest Period shall end on the next preceding Business Day. At the election of Agent or the Required Lenders, no LIBOR Rate Loan shall be made available to any Borrower during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default. After giving effect to each requested LIBOR Rate Loan, including those which are converted from a Domestic Rate Loan under Section 2.2(e), there shall not be outstanding more than eight (8) LIBOR Rate Loans, in the aggregate.

(c) Each Interest Period of a LIBOR Rate Loan shall commence on the date such LIBOR Rate Loan is made and shall end on such date as Borrowing Agent may elect as set forth in subsection (b)(iii) above or subsection (e) below provided that the exact length of each Interest Period shall be determined in accordance with the practice of the interbank market for offshore Dollar deposits and no Interest Period shall end after the Maturity Date.

(d) Borrowing Agent shall elect the initial Interest Period applicable to a LIBOR Rate Loan by its notice of borrowing given to Agent pursuant to Section 2.2(b) or by its notice of conversion given to Agent pursuant to Section 2.2(e), as the case may be. Borrowing Agent shall elect the duration of each succeeding Interest Period by giving irrevocable written notice to Agent of such duration not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the day which is three (3) Business Days prior to the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan. If Agent does not receive timely notice of the Interest Period elected by Borrowing Agent, Borrowing Agent shall be deemed to have elected to convert to a Domestic Rate Loan subject to Section 2.2(e) below.

(e) Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to which Agent or the Required Lenders have elected to suspend Borrower’s ability to incur LIBOR Rate Loans, Borrowing Agent may, on the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to any outstanding LIBOR Rate Loan, or on any Business Day with respect to Domestic Rate Loans, convert any such loan into a loan of another type in the same aggregate principal amount; provided that any conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be made only on the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan. If Borrowing Agent desires to convert a loan, Borrowing Agent shall give Agent written notice by no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) (i) on the day which is three (3) Business Days’ prior to the date on which such conversion is to occur with respect to a conversion from a Domestic Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan, or (ii) on the day which is one (1) Business Day prior to the date on which such conversion is to occur with respect to a conversion from a LIBOR Rate Loan to a Domestic Rate Loan, specifying, in each case, the date of such conversion, the loans to be converted and if the conversion is from a Domestic Rate Loan to any other type of loan, the duration of the first Interest Period therefor.

(f) At its option and upon written notice given prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York time) at least three (3) Business Days’ prior to the date of such prepayment, any Borrower may prepay the LIBOR Rate Loans in whole at any time or in part from time to time with accrued interest on the principal being prepaid to the date of such repayment. Borrowing Agent shall specify the date of prepayment of Advances which are LIBOR Rate Loans and the amount of such prepayment. In the event that any prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Loan is required or permitted on a date other than the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, such Borrower shall indemnify Agent and Lenders therefor in accordance with Section 2.2(g) hereof.

(g) Each Borrower shall indemnify Agent and Lenders and hold Agent and Lenders harmless from and against any and all actual losses or expenses (including, without limitation, any loss or expense arising from the reemployment of funds obtained by Agent or any Lender or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained) that Agent and Lenders may sustain or incur as a consequence of any prepayment (whether voluntary, as a result of acceleration or otherwise), conversion of or to, continuation of, or any default by any Borrower in the payment of the principal of or interest on any LIBOR Rate Loan or failure by any Borrower to complete a borrowing of, a prepayment of or conversion of or to, or continuation of a LIBOR Rate Loan on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, including, but not limited to, any interest payable by Agent or Lenders to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain its LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder, or after notice thereof has been given. A certificate in reasonable detail as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Agent or any Lender to Borrowing Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Failure or delay on the part of Agent or any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this section shall not constitute a waiver of Agent’s or such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that, Borrowers shall not be required to compensate Agent or a Lender pursuant to this section for any amounts incurred more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date that Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, notifies a Borrower of such losses or expenses and of Agent’s or such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor.

(h) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if any Applicable Law, treaty, regulation or directive, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, including without limitation any Change in Law, shall make it unlawful for Lenders or any Lender (for purposes of this subsection (h), the term “Lender” shall include any Lender and the office or branch where any Lender or any corporation or bank controlling such Lender makes or maintains any LIBOR Rate Loans) to make or maintain its LIBOR Rate Loans, the obligation of Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder shall forthwith be cancelled and Borrowers shall, if any affected LIBOR Rate Loans are then outstanding, promptly upon request from Agent, either pay all such affected LIBOR Rate Loans or convert such affected LIBOR Rate Loans into loans of another type (either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if Lenders may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if Lenders may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Rate Loans). If any such payment or conversion of any LIBOR Rate Loan is made on a day that is not the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan, Borrowers shall pay Agent, upon Agent’s request, such amount or amounts as may be necessary to compensate Lenders for any actual loss or expense sustained or incurred by Lenders in respect of such LIBOR Rate Loan as a result of such payment or conversion, including (but not limited to) any interest or other amounts payable by Lenders to lenders of funds obtained by Lenders in order to make or maintain such LIBOR Rate Loan. A certificate in reasonable detail as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Lenders to Borrowing Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Failure or delay on the part of Agent or any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this section shall not constitute a waiver of Agent’s or such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that, Borrowers shall not be required to compensate Agent or a Lender pursuant to this section for any amounts incurred more than one hundred eighty (180) prior to the date that Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, notifies a Borrower of such losses or expenses and of Agent’s or such

Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor. A certificate as to any amounts that a Lender is entitled to receive under this Section 2.2 submitted by such Lender, through Agent, to Borrowing Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of clearly demonstrable error and all such amounts shall be paid by Borrowers promptly upon demand by such Lender. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder.

2.3. Disbursement of Advance Proceeds. All Advances shall be disbursed from whichever office or other place Agent may designate from time to time and, together with any and all other Obligations of Borrowers to Agent or Lenders, shall be charged to Borrowers’ Account on Agent’s books. Prior to the Maturity Date, Borrowers may use the Revolving Advances by borrowing, prepaying and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. The proceeds of each Revolving Advance requested by Borrowing Agent on behalf of any Borrower or deemed to have been requested by any Borrower under Section 2.2(a) hereof shall, with respect to requested Revolving Advances to the extent Lenders make such Revolving Advances, be made available to the applicable Borrower on the day so requested by way of credit to such Borrower’s operating account at PNC, or such other bank as Borrowing Agent may designate following notification to Agent, in immediately available federal funds or other immediately available funds or, with respect to Revolving Advances deemed to have been requested by any Borrower, be disbursed to Agent to be applied to the outstanding Obligations giving rise to such deemed request.

2.4. [Reserved].

2.5. Repayment of Advances.

(a) The Revolving Advances shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date subject to earlier prepayment as herein provided.

(b) Each Borrower recognizes that the amounts evidenced by checks, notes, drafts or any other items of payment relating to and/or proceeds of Collateral may not be collectible by Agent on the date received by Agent. Agent shall conditionally credit Borrowers’ Account for each item of payment on the next Business Day after the Business Day on which such item of payment is received by Agent (and the Business Day on which each such item of payment is so credited shall be referred to, with respect to such item, as the “Application Date”). Agent is not, however, required to credit Borrowers’ Account for the amount of any item of payment which is unsatisfactory to Agent and Agent may charge Borrowers’ Account for the amount of any item of payment which is returned, for any reason whatsoever, to Agent unpaid. Subject to the foregoing, Borrowers agree that for purposes of computing the interest charges under this Agreement, each item of payment received by Agent shall be deemed applied by Agent on account of the Obligations on its respective Application Date. Borrowers further agree that there is a monthly float charge payable to Agent for Agent’s sole benefit, in an amount equal to (x) the face amount of all items of payment received during the prior month (including items of payment received by Agent as a wire transfer or electronic depository check) multiplied by (y) the Revolving Interest Rate with respect to Domestic Rate Loans for one (1) Business Day. All proceeds received by Agent during a Dominion Period shall be applied to the Obligations in accordance with Section 4.14(g).

(c) All payments of principal, interest and other amounts payable hereunder, or under any of the Other Documents shall be made to Agent at the Payment Office not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on the due date therefor in lawful money of the United States of America in federal funds or other funds immediately available to Agent. Agent shall have the right to effectuate payment of any and all Obligations due and owing hereunder by charging Borrowers’ Account or by making Advances as provided in Section 2.2 hereof.

(d) Borrowers, jointly and severally, shall pay principal, interest, and all other amounts payable hereunder, or under any Other Document, without any deduction whatsoever, including, but not limited to, any deduction for any setoff or counterclaim.

(e) On each date of consummation of the Disposition of any Specified Assets, Borrowers shall repay Revolving Advances in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of such Disposition.

2.6. Repayment of Excess Revolving Facility Usage. If at any time the Revolving Facility Usage exceeds the Line Cap (other than as a result of a Protective Advance), including (for the avoidance of doubt) as a result of the reduction of the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount pursuant to Section 2.11, the Borrower shall (i) first, repay Revolving Advances and (ii) second, Cash Collateralize any outstanding Letters of Credit (consistent with the procedures set forth in Section 2.8(j)) to eliminate such excess. Such amounts shall be immediately due and payable, without the necessity of any demand, at the Payment Office.

2.7. Statement of Account. Agent shall maintain, in accordance with its customary procedures, a loan account (“Borrowers’ Account”) in the name of Borrowers in which shall be recorded the date and amount of each Advance made by Agent and the date and amount of each payment in respect thereof; provided, however, the failure by Agent to record the date and amount of any Advance shall not adversely affect Agent or any Lender. Each month, Agent shall send to Borrowing Agent a statement showing the accounting for the Advances made, payments made or credited in respect thereof, and other transactions between Agent and Borrowers during such month. The monthly statements shall be deemed correct and binding upon Borrowers in the absence of manifest error and shall constitute an account stated between Lenders and Borrowers unless Agent receives a written statement of Borrowers’ specific exceptions thereto within sixty (60) days after such statement is received by Borrowing Agent. The records of Agent with respect to the loan account shall be conclusive evidence absent manifest error of the amounts of Advances and other charges thereto and of payments applicable thereto.

2.8. Letters of Credit.

(a) Issuance of Letters of Credit. The Borrowing Agent may at any time prior to the Maturity Date request the issuance of a standby or trade letter of credit denominated in Dollars (each, a “Letter of Credit”), for its own account or the account of another Credit Party, or the amendment or extension of an existing Letter of Credit, by delivering or transmitting electronically, or having such other Credit Party deliver or transmit electronically to the Issuer (with a copy to the Agent) a completed application for letter of credit, or request for such amendment or extension, as applicable, in such form as the Issuer may specify from time to time by no later than 10:00 a.m. at least five (5) Business Days, or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Issuer, in advance of the proposed date of issuance, amendment or extension. The Borrowing Agent shall authorize and direct such Issuer to name such Credit Party as the “Applicant” or “Account Party” of such Letter of Credit. Promptly after receipt of any letter of credit application, the Issuer shall confirm with the Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit application and if not, such Issuer will provide the Agent with a copy thereof. The Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be “Letters of Credit” issued under this Agreement for all purposes of this Agreement and the Other Documents.

(i) Unless the Issuer has received notice from any Lender, the Agent or any Credit Party, at least one day prior to the requested date of issuance, amendment or extension of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions in Section 8.2 is not satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in reliance on the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.8(a), the Issuer or any of the Issuer’s Affiliates will issue the

proposed Letter of Credit or agree to such amendment or extension; provided that each Letter of Credit shall not expire later than (A) twelve (12) months from the date of issuance, or (B) the Letter of Credit Maturity Date; provided further that (x) in no event shall the Letter of Credit Obligations exceed, at any one time, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or (y) the Revolving Facility Usage exceed, at any one time, the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount. Each request by the Borrowing Agent for the issuance, amendment or extension of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrowing Agent that they are in compliance with the preceding sentence and with Section 8.2 after giving effect to the requested issuance, amendment or extension of such Letter of Credit. Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment or extension to a Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof, the applicable Issuer will also deliver to the Borrowing Agent and the Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

(ii) Notwithstanding Section 2.8(a)(i), no Issuer shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Body or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to such Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Body with jurisdiction over such Issuer shall prohibit, or request that such Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuer with respect to the Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuer is not otherwise compensated under Section 3.9) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense (for which such Issuer is not otherwise compensated under Section 3.7) which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which such Issuer in good faith deems material to it, or (ii) the issuance of the Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally.

(b) Disbursements, Reimbursement. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Issuer a participation in such Letter of Credit and each drawing thereunder in an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Maximum Face Amount of such Letter of Credit and the amount of such drawing, respectively.

(i) In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary or transferee thereof, the Issuer will promptly notify the Borrowing Agent and the Agent thereof. Provided that the Borrowing Agent shall have received such notice, the Borrowers shall reimburse (such obligation to reimburse the Issuer shall sometimes be referred to as a “Reimbursement Obligation”) the Issuer prior to 12:00 noon on each date that an amount is paid by the Issuer under any Letter of Credit (each such date, a “Drawing Date”) by paying to the Agent for the account of the Issuer an amount equal to the amount so paid by the Issuer. In the event the Borrowers fail to reimburse the Issuer (through the Agent) for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit by 12:00 noon on the Drawing Date, the Agent will promptly notify each Lender thereof, and the Borrowing Agent shall be deemed to have requested that a Revolving Advance maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan be made by the Lenders to be disbursed on the Drawing Date under such Letter of Credit, subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Line Cap and subject to, other than any notice requirement, Section 8.2 hereof. Any notice given by the Agent or Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.8(b)(i) may be oral if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

(ii) Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.8(b)(i) make available to the Agent for the account of the Issuer an amount in immediately available funds equal to its Commitment Percentage of the amount of the drawing, whereupon the participating Lenders shall (subject to Section 2.8(b)(i)) be deemed to have made a Revolving Advance maintained as a Domestic Rate Loan to the applicable Borrower in that amount. If any Lender so notified fails to make available to the Agent for the account of the Issuer the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such amount by no later than 2:00 p.m. on the Drawing Date, then interest shall accrue on such Lender’s obligation to make such payment, from the Drawing Date to the date on which such Lender makes such payment (i) at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate during the first three (3) days following the Drawing Date and (ii) at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to Revolving Advances maintained as Domestic Rate Loans on and after the fourth day following the Drawing Date. The Agent and the Issuer will promptly give notice (as described in Section 2.8(b)(i) above) of the occurrence of the Drawing Date, but failure of the Agent or the Issuer to give any such notice on the Drawing Date or in sufficient time to enable any Lender to effect such payment on such date shall not relieve such Lender from its obligation under this Section 2.8(b)(ii).

(iii) With respect to any unreimbursed drawing that is not converted into Revolving Advances maintained as Domestic Rate Loans to the Borrowers in whole or in part as contemplated by Section 2.8(b)(i), because of a Borrower’s failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 8.2 other than any notice requirements, or for any other reason, the applicable Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the Issuer a borrowing (each a “Letter of Credit Borrowing”) in the amount of such drawing. Such Letter of Credit Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the rate per annum applicable to the Revolving Advances maintained as Domestic Rate Loans. Each Lender’s payment to the Agent for the account of the Issuer pursuant to Section 2.8(b)(ii) shall be deemed to be a payment in respect of its participation in such Letter of Credit Borrowing (each, a “Participation Advance”) from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.8(b).

(i) Upon (and only upon) receipt by the Agent for the account of the Issuer of immediately available funds from a Borrower (i) in reimbursement of any payment made by the Issuer under the Letter of Credit with respect to which any Lender has made a Participation Advance to the Agent, or (ii) in payment of interest on such a payment made by the Issuer under such a Letter of Credit, the Agent on behalf of the Issuer will pay to each Lender, in the same funds as those received by the Agent, the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such funds (and to the extent that any of the other Lenders have funded any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Participation Advance in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.13, Agent will pay over to such Non-Defaulting Lenders a pro rata portion of the funds so withheld from such Defaulting Lender), except the Agent shall retain for the account of the Issuer the amount of the Commitment Percentage of such funds of any Lender that did not make a Participation Advance in respect of such payment by the Issuer.

(ii) If the Agent is required at any time to return to any Credit Party, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or any official in any insolvency proceeding, any portion of any payment made by any Credit Party to the Agent for the account of the Issuer pursuant to this Section in reimbursement of a payment made under any Letter of Credit or interest or fees thereon, each Lender shall, on demand of the Agent, forthwith return to the Agent for the account of the Issuer the amount of its Commitment Percentage of any amounts so returned by the Agent

plus interest thereon from the date such demand is made to the date such amounts are returned by such Lender to the Agent, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect from time to time.

(d) Documentation. Each Credit Party agrees to be bound by the terms of the Issuer’s application and agreement for letters of credit and the Issuer’s written regulations and customary practices relating to letters of credit, though such interpretation may be different from such Credit Party’s own. In the event of a conflict between such application or agreement and this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern. It is understood and agreed that, except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment), the Issuer shall not be liable for any error, negligence and/or mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in following any Credit Party’s instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto.

(e) Determinations to Honor Drawing Requests. In determining whether to honor any request for drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the Issuer shall be responsible only to determine that the documents and certificates required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit.

(f) Nature of Participation and Reimbursement Obligations. Each Lender’s obligation in accordance with this Agreement to make the Revolving Advances or Participation Advances, as contemplated by Section 2.8(b), as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit, and the Obligations of the Borrowers to reimburse the Issuer upon a draw under a Letter of Credit, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.8 (and Section 3.2) under all circumstances, including the following circumstances:

(i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Issuer or any of its Affiliates, the Credit Parties or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, or which any Credit Party may have against the Issuer or any of its Affiliates, any Lender or any other Person for any reason whatsoever;

(ii) the failure of any Credit Party or any other Person to comply, in connection with a Letter of Credit Borrowing, with the conditions set forth in Sections 2.1, 2.2 or 8.2 or as otherwise set forth in this Agreement for the making of a Revolving Advances, it being acknowledged that such conditions are not required for the making of a Letter of Credit Borrowing and the obligation of the Lenders to make Participation Advances under Section 2.8(b);

(iii) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit;

(iv) any claim of breach of warranty that might be made by any Credit Party or any Lender against any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit, or the existence of any claim, set-off, recoupment, counterclaim, cross-claim, defense or other right which any Credit Party or any Lender may have at any time against a beneficiary, successor beneficiary any transferee or assignee of any Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Issuer or its Affiliates or any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between any Credit Party or Subsidiaries of a Credit Party and the beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured);

(v) the lack of power or authority of any signer of (or any defect in or forgery of any signature or endorsement on) or the form of or lack of validity, sufficiency, accuracy, enforceability or genuineness of any draft, demand, instrument, certificate or other document presented under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, or any fraud or alleged fraud in connection with any Letter of Credit, or the transport of any property or provision of services relating to a Letter of Credit, in each case even if the Issuer or any of its Affiliates has been notified thereof;

(vi) payment by the Issuer or any of its Affiliates under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;

(vii) the solvency of, or any acts or omissions by, any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, or any other Person having a role in any transaction or obligation relating to a Letter of Credit, or the existence, nature, quality, quantity, condition, value or other characteristic of any property or services relating to a Letter of Credit;

(viii) any failure by the Issuer or any of its Affiliates to issue any Letter of Credit in the form requested by any Credit Party, unless the Issuer has received written notice from such Credit Party of such failure within three Business Days after the Issuer shall have furnished such Credit Party and the Agent a copy of such Letter of Credit and such error is material and no drawing has been made thereon prior to receipt of such notice;

(ix) any Material Adverse Effect;

(x) any breach of this Agreement or any Other Document by any party thereto;

(xi) the occurrence or continuance of an Insolvency Event with respect to any Credit Party;

(xii) the fact that an Event of Default or a Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

(xiii) the fact that the Maturity Date shall have passed or this Agreement or the Commitments hereunder shall have been terminated; and

(xiv) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

(g) Indemnity. In addition to the amounts payable as provided in Section 16.5, each Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless the Issuer and any of its Affiliates that has issued a Letter of Credit from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, taxes, penalties, interest, judgments, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel) which the Issuer or any of its Affiliates may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of the issuance of any Letter of Credit, other than as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuer as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(h) Liability for Acts and Omissions. As between any Credit Party and the Issuer, or the Issuer’s Affiliates, such Credit Party assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit, other than as a result of the

gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuer as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Issuer shall not be responsible for any of the following, including any losses or damages to any Credit Party or other Person or property relating therefrom: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for an issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged (even if the Issuer or its Affiliates shall have been notified thereof); (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) the failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit, or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred, to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit or any other claim of any Credit Party against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, or any such transferee, or any dispute between or among any Credit Party and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, facsimile, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuer or its Affiliates, as applicable, including any act or omission of any Governmental Body, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of the Issuer’s or its Affiliates rights or powers hereunder. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall relieve an Issuer from liability for such Issuer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment) in connection with actions or omissions described in such clauses (i) through (viii) of such sentence. In no event shall an Issuer or its Affiliates be liable to any Credit Party for any indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or special damages or expenses (including attorneys’ fees), or for any damages resulting from any change in the value of any property relating to a Letter of Credit.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Issuer and each of its Affiliates (i) may rely on any oral or other communication believed in good faith by the Issuer or such Affiliate to have been authorized or given by or on behalf of the applicant for a Letter of Credit, (ii) may honor any presentation if the documents presented appear on their face substantially to comply with the terms and conditions of the relevant Letter of Credit; (iii) may honor a previously dishonored presentation under a Letter of Credit, whether such dishonor was pursuant to a court order, to settle or compromise any claim of wrongful dishonor, or otherwise, and shall be entitled to reimbursement to the same extent as if such presentation had initially been honored, together with any interest paid by the Issuer or its Affiliate; (iv) may honor any drawing that is payable upon presentation of a statement advising negotiation or payment, upon receipt of such statement (even if such statement indicates that a draft or other document is being delivered separately), and shall not be liable for any failure of any such draft or other document to arrive, or to conform in any way with the relevant Letter of Credit; (v) may pay any paying or negotiating bank claiming that it rightfully honored under the laws or practices of the place where such bank is located; and (vi) may settle or adjust any claim or demand made on the Issuer or its Affiliate in any way related to any order issued at the applicant’s request to an air carrier, a letter of guarantee or of indemnity issued to a carrier or any similar document (each an “Order”) and honor any drawing in connection with any Letter of Credit that is the subject of such Order, notwithstanding that any drafts or other documents presented in connection with such Letter of Credit fail to conform in any way with such Letter of Credit.

In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth above, any action taken or omitted by the Issuer or its Affiliates under or in connection with the Letters of Credit

issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not put the Issuer or its Affiliates under any resulting liability to the Borrowers or any Lender.

(i) Issuer Reporting Requirements. Each Issuer shall, on the first Business Day of each month, provide to Agent and Borrowing Agent a schedule of the Letters of Credit issued by it, in form and substance satisfactory to Agent, showing the date of issuance of each Letter of Credit, the account party, the original face amount (if any), and the expiration date of any Letter of Credit outstanding at any time during the preceding month, and any other information relating to such Letter of Credit that the Agent may request.

(j) Cash Collateral. If any Borrower requests the issuance, extension or renewal of any Letter of Credit and such Letter of Credit would have an expiration date which is after the Letter of Credit Maturity Date, no Issuer shall be required to issue, extend or renew such Letter of Credit, but may elect to do so if the requirements of this Section 2.8(j) are satisfied. Such Borrower shall, on or before the issuance, extension or renewal of such Letter of Credit, deposit and pledge Cash Collateral for each such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to 105% of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of such outstanding Letter of Credit. Such Cash Collateral shall be deposited pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and such Issuer and the Borrowing Agent and shall be maintained in blocked deposit accounts at such Issuer. Each Borrower hereby grants to each Issuer a security interest in all Cash Collateral pledged to such Issuer pursuant to this Section or otherwise under this Agreement. The Cash Collateral related to a particular Letter of Credit shall be released by the applicable Issuer upon termination or expiration of such Letter of Credit and the reimbursement by the Borrowers of all amounts drawn thereon and the payment in full of all fees accrued thereon through the date of such expiration or termination. After the Maturity Date, the Borrowing Agent shall pay any and all fees associated with any such Letter of Credit with an expiration date that extends beyond the Maturity Date directly to the applicable Issuer.

2.9. Additional Payments. Any sums expended by Agent or any Lender due to any Borrower’s failure to perform or comply with its obligations under this Agreement or any Other Document including any Borrower’s obligations under Sections 4.2, 4.4, 4.9, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14(d) and 6.1 hereof, may be charged to Borrowers’ Account as a Revolving Advance and added to the Obligations.

2.10. Making and Settlement of Advances.

(a) Each borrowing of Revolving Advances shall be advanced according to the applicable Commitment Percentages of the Lenders holding the Commitments (subject to any contrary terms of Section 2.13). Each borrowing of Swing Loans shall be advanced by the Swing Loan Lender alone.

(b) Promptly after receipt by Agent of a request or a deemed request for a Revolving Advance pursuant to Section 2.2(a) and, with respect to Revolving Advances, to the extent Agent elects not to provide a Swing Loan or the making of a Swing Loan would result in the aggregate amount of all outstanding Swing Loans exceeding the maximum amount permitted in Section 2.14(a), Agent shall notify the Lenders holding the Commitments of its receipt of such request specifying the information provided by Borrowing Agent and the apportionment among Lenders of the requested Revolving Advance as determined by Agent in accordance with the terms hereof. Each Lender shall remit the principal amount of each Revolving Advance to Agent such that Agent is able to, and Agent shall, to the extent the applicable Lenders have made funds available to it for such purpose and subject to Section 8.2, fund such Revolving Advance to Borrowers in U.S. Dollars and immediately available funds at the Payment Office prior to the close of business, on the applicable borrowing date; provided that if any applicable Lender fails to remit such funds to Agent in a timely manner, Agent may elect in its sole

discretion to fund with its own funds the Revolving Advance of such Lender on such borrowing date, and such Lender shall be subject to the repayment obligation in Section 2.10(c) hereof.

(c) Unless Agent shall have been notified by telephone, confirmed in writing, by any Lender holding a Commitment that such Lender will not make the amount which would constitute its applicable Commitment Percentage of the requested Revolving Advance available to Agent, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) assume that such Lender has made such amount available to Agent on such date in accordance with Section 2.10(b) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrowers a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its applicable Commitment Percentage of the requested Revolving Advance available to Agent, then the applicable Lender and Borrowers severally agree to pay to Agent on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to Borrowers through but excluding the date of payment to Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of (A) (x) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days) during such period as quoted by Agent, times (y) such amount or (B) a rate determined by Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the Revolving Interest Rate for Revolving Advances that are Domestic Rate Loans. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Revolving Advance to Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Advance. Any payment by Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrowers may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to Agent. A certificate of Agent submitted to any Lender or Borrower with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph (c) shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error.

(d) Agent, on behalf of Swing Loan Lender, shall demand settlement (a “Settlement”) of all or any Swing Loans with the Lenders holding the Commitments on at least a weekly basis, or on any more frequent date that Agent elects or that Swing Loan Lender at its option exercisable for any reason whatsoever may request, by notifying the Lenders holding the Commitments of such requested Settlement by facsimile, telephonic or electronic transmission no later than 3:00 p.m. on the date of such requested Settlement (the “Settlement Date”). Subject to any contrary provisions of Section 2.13, each Lender holding a Commitment shall transfer the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the outstanding principal amount (plus interest accrued thereon to the extent requested by Agent) of the applicable Swing Loan with respect to which Settlement is requested by Agent, to such account of Agent as Agent may designate not later than 5:00 p.m. on such Settlement Date if requested by Agent by 3:00 p.m., otherwise not later than 5:00 p.m. on the next Business Day. Settlements may occur at any time notwithstanding that the conditions precedent to making Revolving Advances set forth in Section 8.2 have not been satisfied or the Commitments shall have otherwise been terminated at such time. All amounts so transferred to Agent shall be applied against the amount of outstanding Swing Loans and, when so applied shall constitute Revolving Advances of such Lenders accruing interest as Domestic Rate Loans. If any such amount is not transferred to Agent by any Lender holding a Commitment on such Settlement Date, Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon as specified in Section 2.10(c).

(e) If any Lender or Participant (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Advances, or interest thereon, or receive any Collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by set-off) in a greater proportion than any such payment to and Collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Advances, or interest thereon, and such greater proportionate payment or receipt of Collateral is not expressly permitted hereunder, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participation in such portion of each such other Lender’s Advances, or shall provide such other Lender with the benefits of any such Collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such Collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the other Lenders;

provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under Applicable Law, that each Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lender’s Advances may exercise all rights of payment (including rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Lender were the direct holder of such portion, and the obligations owing to each such purchasing Lender in respect of such participation and such purchased portion of any other Lender’s Advances shall be part of the Obligations secured by the Collateral, and the obligations owing to each such purchasing Lender in respect of such participation and such purchased portion of any other Lender’s Advances shall be part of the Obligations secured by the Collateral.

2.11. Reduction of Maximum Revolving Advance Amount.

(a) Borrowing Agent may, on at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice received by Agent (which shall promptly advise each Lender thereof) permanently reduce the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount, minimum increments of $10,000,000 to an amount not less than the greater of (i) $25,000,000 or (ii) the amount of the then Revolving Facility Usage.

(b) The Maximum Revolving Advance Amount shall be reduced by an aggregate amount equal to the net proceeds of all notes issued pursuant to Section 7.6(m), effective upon the closing of such issuance.

(c) On each date of consummation of the Disposition of any Specified Assets, the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount shall be automatically reduced by an amount that is a multiple of $100,000 nearest to the amount that is 50% of the Net Cash Proceeds of such Disposition.

(d) All reductions of the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount shall be applied ratably among the Lenders according to their respective Commitment Amounts.

2.12. Use of Proceeds.

(a) Credit Parties shall apply the proceeds of Advances to (i) consummate the Transactions and pay related fees and expenses and (ii) provide for the Borrowers’ general business purposes, including working capital requirements, making capital expenditures, making Permitted Acquisitions (prior to the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date), making debt payments when due and making distributions and dividends, in each case, to the extent not prohibited under this Agreement.

(b) Without limiting the generality of Section 2.12(a) above, neither a Credit Party nor any other Person which may in the future become party to this Agreement or the Other Documents as a Credit Party, intends to use nor shall they use any portion of the proceeds of the Advances, directly or indirectly, for any purpose in violation of Anti-Terrorism Laws.

2.13. Defaulting Lender.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, all rights and obligations hereunder of such Defaulting Lender and of the other parties hereto shall be modified to the extent of the express provisions of this Section 2.13 so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender.

(b) (i) Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Section 2.13, Revolving Advances shall be made pro rata from Lenders holding Commitments which are not Defaulting Lenders

based on their respective Commitment Percentages, and no Commitment Percentage of any Lender or any pro rata share of any Revolving Advances required to be advanced by any Lender shall be increased as a result of any Lender being a Defaulting Lender. Amounts received in respect of principal of any type of Revolving Advances shall be applied to reduce such type of Revolving Advances of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender) holding a Commitment in accordance with their Commitment Percentages; provided that Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments received by Agent for the Defaulting Lender’s benefit, nor shall a Defaulting Lender be entitled to the sharing of any payments hereunder (including any principal, interest or fees). Amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender shall instead be paid to or retained by Agent. Agent may hold and, in its discretion, re-lend to Borrowers the amount of such payments received or retained by it for the account of such Defaulting Lender.

(ii) Fees pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof shall cease to accrue in favor of such Defaulting Lender while such Person is a Defaulting Lender.

(iii) If any Swing Loans are outstanding or any Letter of Credit Obligations (or drawings under any Letter of Credit for which the Issuer has not been reimbursed) are outstanding or exist at the time any such Lender holding a Commitment becomes a Defaulting Lender, then:

(A) the Defaulting Lender’s Participation Commitment in the outstanding Swing Loans and of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders holding Commitments in proportion to the respective Commitment Percentages of such Non-Defaulting Lenders to the extent (but only to the extent) that (x) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate sum of outstanding Revolving Advances made by any such Non-Defaulting Lender holding a Commitment plus such Lender’s reallocated Participation Commitment in the outstanding Swing Loans plus such Lender’s reallocated Participation Commitment in the aggregate Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit to exceed the Commitment Amount of any such Non-Defaulting Lender, and (y) the conditions in Section 8.2 would be met;

(B) if the reallocation described in clause (A) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall within one Business Day following notice by the Agent (x) first, prepay any outstanding Swing Loans that cannot be reallocated, and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuer the Borrowers’ obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (A) above) in accordance with Section 3.2(b) for so long as such Obligations are outstanding;

(C) if the Borrowers Cash Collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit pursuant to clause (B) above, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.2(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment Percentage of Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit during the period such Defaulting Lender’s Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit are Cash Collateralized;

(D) if the Defaulting Lender’s Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit is reallocated pursuant to clause (A) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders holding Commitments pursuant to Section 3.2(a) shall be adjusted and reallocated to the Non-Defaulting Lenders holding Commitments in accordance with such reallocation; and

(E) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit is neither reallocated nor Cash Collateralized pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuer or any other Lender hereunder, all Letter of Credit Fees payable under Section 3.2(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit shall be payable to the Issuer (and not to such Defaulting Lender) until (and then only to the extent that) such Lender’s Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit is reallocated and/or Cash Collateralized; and

(iv) so long as any Lender holding a Commitment is a Defaulting Lender, Swing Loan Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Loans and the Issuer shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless such Issuer is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s Participation Commitment in the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all Letters of Credit and all Swing Loans (after giving effect to any such issuance, amendment, increase or funding) will be fully allocated to the Non-Defaulting Lenders holding Commitments and/or Cash Collateral for such Letters of Credit will be provided by the Borrowers in accordance with clause (A) and (B) above, and participating interests in any newly made Swing Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.13(b)(iii)(A) above (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

(c) A Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to give instructions to Agent or to approve, disapprove, consent to or vote on any matters relating to this Agreement and the Other Documents, and all amendments, waivers and other modifications of this Agreement and the Other Documents may be made without regard to a Defaulting Lender and, for purposes of the definition of “Required Lenders,” a Defaulting Lender shall not be deemed to be a Lender, to have any outstanding Advances or a Commitment Percentage; provided, that this clause (c) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification described in Section 16.2(b)(i).

(d) Other than as expressly set forth in this Section 2.13, the rights and obligations of a Defaulting Lender (including the obligation to indemnify Agent) and the other parties hereto shall remain unchanged. Nothing in this Section 2.13 shall be deemed to release any Defaulting Lender from its obligations under this Agreement and the Other Documents, shall alter such obligations, shall operate as a waiver of any default by such Defaulting Lender hereunder, or shall prejudice any rights which any Borrower, Agent or any Lender may have against any Defaulting Lender as a result of any default by such Defaulting Lender hereunder.

(e) In the event that the Agent, the Borrowers, Swing Loan Lender and the Issuer agree in writing that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, and, if such cured Defaulting Lender is a Lender holding a Commitment, then Participation Commitments of the Lenders holding Commitments (including such cured Defaulting Lender) of the Swing Loans and Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit shall be reallocated to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment, and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Advances of the other Lenders as the Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Revolving Advances in accordance with its Commitment Percentage.

(f) If Swing Loan Lender or Issuer has a good faith belief that any Lender holding a Commitment has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, Swing Loan Lender shall not be required to fund any Swing Loans and Issuer shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless Swing Loan Lender or Issuer, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrowers or such Lender,

satisfactory to Swing Loan Lender or Issuer, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.

2.14. Swing Loans.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in order to minimize the transfer of funds between Lenders and Agent for administrative convenience, Agent, the Lenders holding Commitments and Swing Loan Lender agree that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement, Swing Loan Lender may, at its election and option made in its sole discretion cancelable at any time for any reason whatsoever, make swing loan advances (“Swing Loans”) available to Borrowers as provided for in this Section 2.14 at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date to, but not including, the Maturity Date, in an aggregate principal amount up to but not in excess of the Maximum Swing Loan Advance Amount, provided that the Revolving Facility Usage shall not at any time exceed the Line Cap (other than as a result of any Protective Advance). All Swing Loans shall be Domestic Rate Loans only. Borrowers may borrow (at the option and election of Swing Loan Lender), repay and reborrow (at the option and election of Swing Loan Lender) Swing Loans and Swing Loan Lender may make Swing Loans as provided in this Section 2.14 during the period between Settlement Dates. All Swing Loans, if requested by the Swing Loan Lender, shall be evidenced by a promissory note (the “Swing Loan Note”) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.14(a). Swing Loan Lender’s agreement to make Swing Loans under this Agreement is cancelable at any time for any reason whatsoever and the making of Swing Loans by Swing Loan Lender from time to time shall not create any duty or obligation, or establish any course of conduct, pursuant to which Swing Loan Lender shall thereafter be obligated to make Swing Loans in the future.

(b) Upon either (x) any request by Borrowing Agent for a Revolving Advance made pursuant to Section 2.2(a) hereof or (y) the occurrence of any deemed request by Borrowers for a Revolving Advance pursuant to the provisions of the last sentence of Section 2.2(a) hereof, Swing Loan Lender may elect, in its sole discretion, to have such request or deemed request treated as a request for a Swing Loan, and may advance same day funds to Borrowers as a Swing Loan; provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided for herein, Swing Loan Lender may not make Swing Loan Advances if Swing Loan Lender has been notified by Agent or by Required Lenders that one or more of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 8.2 of this Agreement have not been satisfied or the Commitments have been terminated for any reason.

(c) Upon the making of a Swing Loan (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default and regardless of whether a Settlement has been requested with respect to such Swing Loan), each Lender holding a Commitment shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from Swing Loan Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Swing Loan in proportion to its Commitment Percentage. Swing Loan Lender or Agent may, at any time, require the Lenders holding Commitments to fund such participations by means of a Settlement as provided for in Section 2.10(d). From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender holding a Commitment is required to fund, and funds, its participation in any Swing Loans purchased hereunder, Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender its Commitment Percentage of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by Agent in respect of such Swing Loan; provided that no Lender holding a Commitment shall be obligated in any event to make Revolving Advances in an amount in excess of its Commitment Amount minus its Participation Commitment (taking into account any reallocations under Section 2.13) of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit.

2.15. [Reserved].

2.16. Protective Advances.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if the Borrowing Agent shall request that the Lenders make, or permit to remain outstanding, any Revolving Advance or Letters of Credit which shall cause an Overadvance or an Advance during a Default or Event of Default, the Agent may, in its sole discretion (subject to the proviso to Section 8.2(b)), elect to make, or permit to remain outstanding, such Overadvance or Advance to the extent such Overadvance or Advance constitutes a Protective Advance. If a Protective Advance is made, or permitted to remain outstanding, pursuant to the preceding sentence, then all Lenders shall be bound to make, or permit to remain outstanding, such Protective Advance based upon their Commitment Percentage in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, regardless of whether the conditions to lending set forth in Section 8.2 have been met. A Protective Advance may be made as a Revolving Advance or as an issuance, extension or renewal of a Letter of Credit and each Lender and each Issuer, as applicable, agrees to make any such requested Revolving Advance or Letter of Credit available to the Borrowers. The obligation of each Lender and each Issuer, as applicable, to participate in each Protective Advance shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Person may have against any other Credit Party, the Borrowers or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (iii) any other occurrence, event or condition. The making of any such Protective Advance on any one occasion shall not obligate the Agent or any Lender to make or permit any Protective Advance on any other occasion. No funding of a Protective Advance or sufferance of an Overadvance shall constitute a waiver by Agent or the Lenders of any Default or Event of Default. In no event shall any Borrower or other Credit Party be deemed a beneficiary of this Section 2.16 nor authorized to enforce any of its terms.

(b) No Protective Advance shall modify or abrogate any of the provisions of Section 2.8(b) regarding the Lenders’ obligations to purchase participations with respect to LC Disbursements or to reimburse any LC Disbursement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no event or circumstance shall result in any claim or liability against the Agent (regardless of the amount of any Overadvances or Protective Advances) for any Overadvances or Protective Advances.

(c) All Protective Advances shall be payable by the Borrowers on demand by Agent or the Required Lenders. All other Overadvances (other than Protective Advances) shall be payable in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.6. All Protective Advances and other Overadvances shall constitute Obligations secured by the Collateral and entitled to all benefits of this Agreement and the Other Documents.

III. INTEREST AND FEES.

3.1. Interest. Interest on Advances shall be payable in arrears on the first day of each month with respect to Domestic Rate Loans and at the end of each Interest Period with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans. Interest charges shall be computed on the actual principal amount of Advances outstanding during the month preceding the payment date in the case of Domestic Rate Loans and during the Interest Period in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Revolving Interest Rate. Whenever, subsequent to the date of this Agreement, the Alternate Base Rate is increased or decreased, the applicable Revolving Interest Rate for Domestic Rate Loans shall be similarly changed without notice or demand of any kind by an amount equal to the amount of such change in the Alternate Base Rate during the time such change or changes remain in effect. The LIBOR Rate shall be adjusted with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans without notice or demand of any kind on the effective date of any change in the Reserve Percentage as of such effective date. Upon the occurrence of a Specified Event of Default, or at

the option of the Agent or direction of the Required Lenders upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, and during the continuation thereof, the Obligations shall bear interest at the applicable Revolving Interest Rate plus two (2%) percent per annum (the “Default Rate”). Agent shall notify Borrowers of any accrual of interest at the Default Rate, provided, that, any failure to notify shall not impact or affect any of Agent’s rights and remedies hereunder.

3.2. Letter of Credit Fees.

(a) Borrowers shall pay (x) to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, fees for each Letter of Credit for the period from and excluding the date of issuance of same to and including the date of expiration or termination, equal to the average daily face amount of each outstanding Letter of Credit multiplied by the then Applicable Margin for LIBOR Rate Loans, and (y) to the applicable Issuer, a fronting fee of one quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum, together with any and all customary administrative, issuance, amendment, payment and negotiation charges with respect to Letters of Credit, including in connection with the opening, amendment or renewal of any such Letter of Credit and any acceptances created thereunder and shall reimburse Agent for any and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses, if any, paid by Agent to the Issuer (all of the foregoing fees, the “Letter of Credit Fees”). All such charges shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each quarter and on the Maturity Date or earlier termination of the Commitments, be deemed earned in full on the date when the same are due and payable hereunder and shall not be subject to rebate or pro-ration upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason. Any such charge in effect at the time of a particular transaction shall be the charge for that transaction, notwithstanding any subsequent change in the Issuer’s prevailing charges for that type of transaction. All Letter of Credit Fees payable hereunder shall be deemed earned in full on the date when the same are due and payable hereunder and shall not be subject to rebate or pro-ration upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason. Upon the occurrence of a Specified Event of Default, or at the option of the Agent or direction of the Required Lenders upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, and during the continuation thereof, the Letter of Credit Fees described in clause (x) of this Section 3.2(a) shall be increased by an additional two percent (2.0%) per annum.

(b) On demand after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Borrowers will cause cash to be deposited and maintained in an account with Agent, as Cash Collateral, in an amount equal to one hundred and five percent (105%) of the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit. Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, in its discretion, on Borrowers’ behalf and in Borrowers’ names, to open such an account and to make and maintain deposits therein, or in an account opened by Borrowers, in the amounts required to be made by Borrowers, out of the proceeds of Receivables or other Collateral or out of any other funds of Borrowers coming into any Lender’s possession at any time. Agent will invest such Cash Collateral (less applicable reserves) in such short-term money-market items as to which Agent and Borrowers mutually agree and the net return on such investments shall be credited to such account and constitute additional Cash Collateral. Such Cash Collateral shall be returned to the Borrowing Agent upon the earliest to occur of (i) expiration of the Letters of Credit so Cash Collateralized, or (ii) the applicable Events of Default are waived in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

3.3. Commitment Fee. If, for any calendar quarter prior to the Maturity Date, the average daily unpaid balance of the Revolving Advances plus the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit for each day of such calendar quarter does not equal the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount, then Borrowers shall pay to Agent for the ratable benefit of Lenders a fee at a rate equal to 0.375% per annum on the amount by which the Maximum Revolving Advance Amount exceeds such average daily unpaid balance of the Revolving Advances plus the Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit for each day of such calendar quarter. Such fee shall be payable to Agent in

arrears on the first day of each calendar quarter with respect to the previous calendar quarter. For purposes of this computation, PNC’s Swing Loans shall be deemed to be borrowed amounts under its commitment to make Revolving Advances, but shall be excluded in the calculation of the fee under this Section 3.3 for any other Lender.

3.4. Other Fees.

(a) Borrowers shall pay the amounts required to be paid in the Fee Letter in the manner and at the times required by the Fee Letter.

(b) On the Fuels Division Sale Closing Date, Borrowers shall pay Agent, for the ratable account of (i) the Lenders, a consent fee equal to 0.50% of each such Lenders’ Commitment Amount (after giving effect to the reduction pursuant to Amendment No. 11), (ii) the Lenders that shall have consented to that certain Amendment No. 9 to this Agreement, dated as of June 17, 2016, a consent fee equal to 0.10% of each such Lenders’ Commitment Amount (after giving effect to the reduction pursuant to Amendment No. 11) and (iii) the Lenders that shall have consented to Amendment No. 11, a consent fee equal to 1.00% of such Lenders’ Commitment Amount (after giving effect to the reduction pursuant to Amendment No. 11).

3.5. Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest hereunder computed at the Alternate Base Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 (as applicable) days and for the actual number of days elapsed. All other fees and interest hereunder shall be computed on the bases of a year of 360 days and for the actual number of days elapsed. If any payment to be made hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest thereon shall be payable at the applicable Revolving Interest Rate during such extension.

3.6. Maximum Charges. It is the intention of the parties to comply strictly with applicable usury laws. Accordingly, no rate change shall be put into effect that would result in a rate greater than the highest rate permitted by law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any Other Document, all agreements which either now are or which shall become agreements among Borrowers, Agent and Lenders are hereby limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever shall the total liability for payments in the nature of interest, additional interest and other charges exceed the applicable limits imposed by any applicable usury laws. If any payments in the nature of interest, additional interest and other charges made under this Agreement or any Other Document are held to be in excess of the limits imposed by any applicable usury laws, it is agreed that any such amount held to be in excess shall be considered payment of principal hereunder, and the indebtedness evidenced hereby shall be reduced by such amount so that the total liability for payments in the nature of interest, additional interest and other charges shall not exceed the applicable limits imposed by any applicable usury laws, in compliance with the desires of Borrowers and Agent. This provision shall never be superseded or waived and shall control every other provision of this Agreement or any Other Document and all agreements among Borrowers, Agent and Lenders, or their respective successors and assigns. Unless preempted by federal law or as permitted under the sentence immediately following this sentence, the applicable Revolving Interest Rate from time to time in effect under this Agreement may not exceed the “weekly ceiling” from time to time in effect under Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code (the “Texas Finance Code”). If the applicable state or federal law is amended in the future to allow a greater rate of interest to be charged under this Agreement than is presently allowed by applicable state or federal law, then the limitation of interest hereunder shall be increased to the maximum rate of interest allowed by applicable state or federal law as amended, which increase shall be effective hereunder on the effective date of such amendment, and all interest charges owing to Lenders by reason thereof shall be payable in accordance with Section 2.5 hereof. If by operation of this provision, Borrowers would be entitled to a refund of

interest paid pursuant to this Agreement, each Lender agrees that it shall pay to Borrowing Agent, upon Agent’s request, such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such interest to be refunded, as determined by Agent. As provided in Section 16.1 hereof, this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflict of law provisions. The provisions of this Section 3.6 with respect to the Texas Finance Code are included solely out of an abundance of caution and shall not be construed to mean that any provisions of Texas law are in any way applicable to this Agreement, the Other Documents or any of the Obligations.

3.7. Increased Costs. In the event that any Applicable Law or any Change in Law or compliance by any Lender (for purposes of this Section 3.7, the term “Lender” shall include Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Issuer or Lender and any corporation or bank controlling Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer and the office or branch where Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer (as so defined) makes or maintains any LIBOR Rate Loans) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other financial, monetary or other authority, shall:

(a) subject Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any LIBOR Rate Loan, or change the basis of taxation of payments to Agent, Swing Loan Lender, such Lender or Issuer in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes indemnified under Section 3.10 and any Excluded Tax);

(b) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, assessment, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, any office of Agent, Swing Loan Lender, Issuer or any Lender, including pursuant to Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; or

(c) impose on Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer or the London interbank LIBOR market any other condition, loss or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or any Other Document or any Advance made by any Lender, or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Agent, Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or Issuer of making, converting to, continuing, renewing or maintaining its Advances hereunder by an amount that Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender or Issuer deems to be material or to reduce the amount of any payment (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) in respect of any of the Advances by an amount that Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender or Issuer deems to be material, then, in any case Borrowers shall promptly pay Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender or Issuer, upon its demand, such additional amount as will compensate Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender or Issuer for such additional cost or such reduction, as the case may be, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to increased costs which are reflected in the LIBOR Rate. Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender or Issuer shall certify the amount of such additional cost or reduced amount to Borrowing Agent, and such certification shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Failure or delay on the part of Agent, Swing Loan Lender, Issuer or any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this section shall not constitute a waiver of such Person’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrowers shall not be required to compensate Agent, Swing Loan Lender, Issuer or a Lender pursuant to this section for any amounts incurred more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Person notifies Borrowing Agent of such losses or expenses and of such Person’s intention to claim compensation therefor.

3.8. Basis For Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair. In the event that Agent or any Lender shall have determined that:

(a) reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate applicable pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof for any Interest Period; or

(b) Dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the relevant maturity are not available in the London interbank Eurodollar market, with respect to an outstanding LIBOR Rate Loan, a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan, or a proposed conversion of a Domestic Rate Loan into a LIBOR Rate Loan,

then Agent shall give Borrowing Agent prompt written or telephonic notice of such determination. If such notice is given, (i) any such requested LIBOR Rate Loan shall be made as a Domestic Rate Loan, unless Borrowing Agent shall notify Agent no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) two (2) Business Days prior to the date of such proposed borrowing, that its request for such borrowing shall be cancelled or made as an unaffected type of LIBOR Rate Loan, (ii) any Domestic Rate Loan or LIBOR Rate Loan which was to have been converted to an affected type of LIBOR Rate Loan shall be continued as or converted into a Domestic Rate Loan, or, if Borrowing Agent shall notify Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed conversion, shall be maintained as an unaffected type of LIBOR Rate Loan, and (iii) any outstanding affected LIBOR Rate Loans shall be converted into a Domestic Rate Loan, or, if Borrowing Agent shall notify Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) two (2) Business Days prior to the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such affected LIBOR Rate Loan, shall be converted into an unaffected type of LIBOR Rate Loan, on the last Business Day of the then current Interest Period for such affected LIBOR Rate Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn, Lenders shall have no obligation to make an affected type of LIBOR Rate Loan or maintain outstanding affected LIBOR Rate Loans and no Borrower shall have the right to convert a Domestic Rate Loan or an unaffected type of LIBOR Rate Loan into an affected type of LIBOR Rate Loan.

3.9. Capital Adequacy.

(a) In the event that Agent, Swing Loan Lender or any Lender shall have determined that any Applicable Law or guideline regarding capital adequacy or liquidity, or any Change in Law or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Body, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Agent, Swing Loan Lender, Issuer or any Lender (for purposes of this Section 3.9, the term “Lender” shall include Agent, Swing Loan Lender, Issuer or any Lender and any corporation or bank controlling Agent, Swing Loan Lender or any Lender and the office or branch where Agent, Swing Loan Lender or any Lender (as so defined) makes or maintains any LIBOR Rate Loans) with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Agent, Swing Loan Lender or any Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder (including the making of any Swing Loans) to a level below that which Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Agent’s, Swing Loan Lender’s and each Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity) by an amount deemed by Agent, Swing Loan Lender or any Lender to be material, then, from time to time, Borrowers shall pay upon demand to Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender for such reduction. In determining such amount or amounts, Agent, Swing Loan Lender or such Lender may use any reasonable averaging or attribution methods. The protection of this Section 3.9 shall be available to Agent, Swing Loan Lender and each

Lender regardless of any possible contention of invalidity or inapplicability with respect to the Applicable Law, rule, regulation, guideline or condition.

(b) A certificate of Agent or such Lender setting forth such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate Agent or such Lender with respect to Section 3.9(a) hereof when delivered to Borrowing Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(c) If Agent or any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.7 or Section 3.9 or if Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to Agent or any Lender pursuant to Section 3.7 or Section 3.9, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Advances hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of Agent or such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce materially amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.7 or Section 3.9, as the case may be, in the future, (ii) would not subject Agent or such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense, (iii) would not require Agent or such Lender to take any action inconsistent with its internal policies or legal or regulatory restrictions, and (iv) would not otherwise be disadvantageous to Agent or such Lender.

3.10. Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any Obligations hereunder or under any Other Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes except to the extent required by Applicable Law; provided that if any Credit Party or any applicable withholding agent shall be required by Applicable Law to deduct any Taxes from such payments, then (i) if such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions for Indemnified Taxes (including deductions for Indemnified Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.10) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions for Indemnified Taxes been made, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions and (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Body in accordance with Applicable Law.

(b) Without limiting the provisions of Section 3.10(a) above, the Borrowers shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Body in accordance with Applicable Law.

(c) The Borrowers shall indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.10) paid by such Recipient, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Body. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers by a Lender (with a copy to Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

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

(e) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of any withholding Tax with respect to payments hereunder or under any Other Document shall deliver to the Borrowers (with a copy to Agent), at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the

Borrowers or Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by Applicable Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrowers or Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or Agent as will enable the Borrowers or Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrowers or the Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(i) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, two (2) duly completed valid originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, United States federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty,

(ii) two (2) duly completed valid originals of IRS Form W-8ECI,

(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 3.10-1 (together with Exhibits 3.10-2, 3.10-3 and 3.10-4, each a “Non-Bank Tax 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 any Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” related to any Borrower described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) two duly completed valid originals of IRS Form W-8BEN,

(iv) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 3.10-2 or Exhibit 3.10-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 3.10-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner,

(v) any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrowers to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made, or

(vi) in the case of a Lender that is a United States person within the meaning of section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, two duly completed valid (2) originals of an IRS Form W-9 or any other form prescribed by Applicable Law certifying that such Lender is exempt from United States federal backup withholding tax.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 3.10(e), a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form or other documentation that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver.

(f) If a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement or any Other Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by 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 Recipient shall deliver to the Agent and the Borrowers at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers or Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such other documentation reasonably requested by the Agent or any Borrower sufficient for Agent and the Borrowers to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine whether such Lender has complied with its obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (f), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Closing Date.

(g) Each Recipient agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to clauses (e) or (f) above expires or becomes inaccurate in any respect, or if Borrowing Agent or Agent should request an updated form or certification, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrowing Agent and the Agent in writing of its legal ineligibility to so.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to any claim for compensation under this Section 3.10, the Credit Parties shall not be required to compensate any Person for any interest or penalties incurred unless such Person notifies the Credit Parties within one hundred eighty (180) days following the date that such Person is first assessed by any taxing authority for such amount or otherwise first pays such amount. If the Borrowers determine in good faith that a reasonable basis exists for contesting any Taxes for which indemnification has been demanded or additional amounts have been payable hereunder, the Person claiming compensation hereunder shall cooperate with the Borrowers in a reasonable challenge of such Taxes if so requested by the Borrowers.

(i) If a Recipient determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers or with respect to which the Borrowers have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.10, it shall pay to the Borrowers an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrowers under this Section 3.10 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund); net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Recipient and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Body with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrowers, upon the request of such Recipient agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrowers (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Body) to such Recipient in the event such Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Body. This Section 3.10(i) shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrowers or any other Person.

(j) Each Recipient agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 3.10(a) or (c) with respect to such Recipient, it will, if requested by the Borrowers in writing, use commercially reasonable efforts (subject to legal and regulatory restrictions) to mitigate the effect of any such event by designating another lending office for any Commitment or Advance affected by such event if that would reduce or eliminate any amount of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes required to be deducted or withheld or paid, provided that doing so would not subject such Recipient to any unreimbursed cost or expense or be otherwise be prejudicial to such Recipient, in such Recipient’s reasonable discretion.

(k) For purposes of this Section 3.10, the term “Lender” shall include any Swing Loan Lender and any Issuer.

(l) The agreements in this Section 3.10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Commitments and the payment of all amounts payable hereunder and under any Other Document.

3.11. Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender (an “Affected Lender”) (a) makes demand upon Borrowers for (or if Borrowers are otherwise required to pay) amounts pursuant to Section 3.7, 3.9 or 3.10 hereof, (b) is unable to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans as a result of a condition described in Section 2.2(h) hereof, (c) is a Defaulting Lender, or (d) denies any consent for a supplemental agreement referred to in the proviso of Section 16.2(b) hereof and for which the consent of the Required Lenders has been obtained, the Borrowers may, within ninety (90) days of receipt of such demand, notice (or the occurrence of such other event causing Borrowers to be required to pay such compensation or causing Section 2.2(h) hereof to be applicable), or such Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender or denial of a request for a consent to a supplemental agreement pursuant to the proviso of Section 16.2(b) hereof, as the case may be, by notice (a “Replacement Notice”) in writing to the Agent and such Affected Lender (i) request the Affected Lender to cooperate with Borrowers in obtaining a replacement Lender satisfactory to the Agent and Borrowers (the “Replacement Lender”); (ii) request the non-Affected Lenders to acquire and assume all of the Affected Lender’s Advances and its Commitment Percentage, as provided herein, but none of such Lenders shall be under any obligation to do so; or (iii) propose a Replacement Lender subject to approval by the Agent in its good faith business judgment. If any satisfactory Replacement Lender shall be obtained, and/or if any one or more of the non-Affected Lenders shall agree to acquire and assume all of the Affected Lender’s Advances and its Commitment Percentage, then such Affected Lender shall assign, in accordance with Section 16.3 hereof, all of its Advances and its Commitment Percentage, and other rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Other Documents to such Replacement Lender or non-Affected Lenders, as the case may be, in exchange for payment of the principal amount so assigned and all interest and fees accrued on the amount so assigned, plus all other Obligations then due and payable to the Affected Lender. If any Affected Lender does not execute an assignment in accordance with Section 16.3 within five (5) Business Days after receipt of notice to do so by Agent or Borrowing Agent, then such assignment shall become effective for purposes of Section 16.3 and this Agreement upon execution by Agent and Borrowing Agent.

to Borrowing Agent, Agent will conduct no more than the Applicable Number of Field Examinations and require no more than the Applicable Number of appraisals of the Sand Reserves (including discounted cash flow analyses) and no more than the Applicable Number of appraisals of Borrowers’ Inventory (in each case, at such times as shall be mutually agreed among the Agent and the Borrowing Agent and in any event not to be within the two week period prior to the date in which the Parent Guarantor is required to file an annual report on Form 10-K or a quarterly report on Form 10-Q with the SEC); provided, however, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Agent may conduct such additional Field Examinations and appraisals during the following 12-calendar month period (whether as to Inventory, Equipment or Sand Reserves) as Agent may determine, at any time, which shall be at the cost and expense of the Borrowers.

4.10. Insurance. The assets and properties of each Credit Party at all times shall be maintained in accordance with the requirements of all insurance carriers which provide insurance with respect to the assets and properties of such Credit Party so that such insurance shall remain in full force and effect. Each Credit Party shall bear the full risk of any loss of any nature whatsoever with respect to the Collateral.

In the event of any loss relating to the Collateral upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the carriers named therein hereby are directed by Agent and the applicable Credit Party to make payment for such loss to Credit Parties and Agent jointly; provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, proceeds of business interruption insurance shall be deposited into Borrowing Agent’s operating account with Agent, rather than applied to the Obligations, so long as the Advances outstanding hereunder do not exceed the Line Cap. If any insurance losses relating to Collateral are paid by check, draft or other instrument payable to any Credit Party and Agent jointly, Agent may, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, endorse such Credit Party’s name thereon and do such other things as Agent may deem advisable to reduce the same to cash. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent is hereby authorized to adjust and compromise claims under insurance coverage referred to in clauses (a) and (b) above. Each Credit Party shall take all actions required under the Flood Laws and/or requested by Agent to assist in ensuring that each Lender is in compliance with the Flood Laws applicable to the Collateral (if any), including, but not limited to, providing Agent with the address and/or GPS coordinates of each structure

Failure or delay on the part of Agent to provide notice pursuant to this section shall not constitute a waiver of Agent’s rights and remedies hereunder, other than as qualified in this Section 4.11.

4.12. Payment of Taxes. Each Credit Party will pay, when due and payable, (i) all federal income tax and all other material federal, state, local and foreign (if applicable) Taxes and all other material franchise, income, employment, social security benefits, withholding and sales Taxes, lawfully levied or assessed upon such Credit Party or any of the Collateral including real and personal property Taxes unless the same are being Properly Contested, and (ii) all other Taxes lawfully levied or assessed upon any Credit Party or any of the Collateral, unless the same are being Properly Contested or failure to pay could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, an Event of Default or material liability to any Credit Party. If any Taxes are delinquent, or if any claim shall be made which creates a valid Lien on the Collateral (other than Permitted Encumbrances), Agent may (after first providing notice to such Credit Party and a reasonable opportunity to cure the same), but shall not be required to, pay the Taxes and each Credit Party hereby indemnifies and holds Agent and each Lender harmless in respect thereof. Agent will not pay any Taxes to the extent that any applicable Credit Party has Properly Contested such Taxes and provided notice of same to Agent.

Failure or delay on the part of Agent to provide notice pursuant to this section shall not constitute a waiver of Agent’s rights and remedies hereunder, other than as qualified in this Section 4.12.

4.13. Payment of Leasehold Obligations. Each Borrower shall at all times pay, when and as due and payable, its rental obligations under all Leasehold Interests containing Sand Reserves that are included in the Formula Amount under which it is a tenant, and shall otherwise comply, in all material respects, with all other terms of such leases and keep all such leases in full force and effect (unless it would be prudent not to keep such leases in full force and effect in the exercise of Borrower’s reasonable business judgment).

Each Credit Party shall deliver to Agent on the Closing Date a Deposit Account Control Agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to Agent in its Permitted Discretion, with respect to each Collection Account which shall be in “springing” form permitting Credit Parties to access and use such Collection Accounts unless and until a “notice of sole control” (such notice, or any similar notice described in any applicable Deposit Account Control Agreement an “Activation Notice”) is issued by Agent to the bank at which such Collection Account is maintained; provided, that, Agent shall not issue such an Activation Notice except during a Dominion Period and shall revoke such Activation Notice if, subsequent thereto, the Dominion Period shall have ended. Upon issuance of an Activation Notice, such Deposit Account Control Agreements shall provide that all available funds in each Collection Account will be transferred, on each Business Day, to Agent, either to any account maintained by Agent at such bank or by wire transfer to appropriate account(s) of Agent, and otherwise be in form and substance (including as to the extent of offset and statutory lien rights) reasonably satisfactory to Agent.

Neither Agent nor any Lender, whether by anything herein or in any assignment or otherwise, assume any of any Borrower’s obligations under any contract or agreement assigned to Agent or such Lender, and neither Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible in any way for the performance by any Borrower of any of the terms and conditions thereof.

4.18. Environmental Matters.

(a) Except for any deviations, individually or in the aggregate, that could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect:

(i) Borrowers shall maintain the Real Property owned or leased by a Borrower in compliance with all Environmental Laws and the Borrowers shall not place or permit to be placed any amount of Hazardous Substances on any Real Property except as permitted by Applicable Law, permits issued thereunder;

(ii) Borrowers shall comply with all applicable Environmental Laws which shall include periodic reviews of such compliance;

(iii) Borrowers shall dispose of any and all Hazardous Waste generated at the Real Property only at facilities and with carriers that maintain valid permits under RCRA and any other applicable Environmental Laws; and

(b) In the event any Credit Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries obtains, gives or receives written notice of any Release or threat of Release of a reportable quantity of any Hazardous Substances at the Real Property (any such event being hereinafter referred to as a “Hazardous Discharge”) or receives any notice of violation, request for information or notification that it is potentially responsible for investigation or cleanup of environmental conditions at the Real Property, demand letter or complaint, order, citation, or other written notice, in each case, with regard to any Hazardous Discharge or violation of Environmental Laws affecting the Real Property or such Borrower’s interest therein that could reasonably be expect to have a Material Adverse Effect (any of the foregoing received by any Borrower is referred to herein as an “Environmental Complaint”) from any Person, including any state agency responsible in whole or in part for environmental matters in the state in which the Real Property is located or the United States Environmental Protection Agency (any such person or entity hereinafter the “Authority”), then such Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days, give written notice of same to Agent detailing facts and circumstances of which such Borrower is aware giving rise to the Hazardous Discharge or Environmental Complaint. Such information is to be provided to allow Agent to protect its security interest in and Lien on the Real Property and the Collateral and is not intended to create nor shall it create any obligation upon Agent or any Lender with respect thereto.

All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Agent and Lenders (or such third parties) in the exercise of any such rights, including any sums paid in connection with any judicial or administrative investigation or proceedings, fines and penalties, together with interest thereon from the date expended at the Default Rate for Domestic Rate Loans constituting Revolving Advances shall be paid upon demand by Borrowers, and until paid shall be added to and become a part of the Obligations secured by the Liens created by the terms of this Agreement or any other agreement between Agent, any Lender and any Borrower.

(d) Borrowers shall defend and indemnify Agent and Lenders and hold Agent, Lenders and their respective employees, agents, directors and officers harmless from and against all loss, liability, damage and expense, claims, costs, fines and penalties, including attorney’s fees, actually suffered or incurred by Agent or Lenders under or on account of any Environmental Laws, including the assertion of any Lien thereunder, with respect to any Hazardous Discharge, the presence of any Hazardous Substances affecting the Real Property, whether or not the same originates or emerges from the Real Property or any contiguous real estate, including any loss of value of the Real Property as a result of the foregoing except

to the extent such loss, liability, damage and expense is attributable to (A) any Hazardous Discharge resulting from actions on the part of Agent or any Lender or (B) any act or inaction of Agent or any Lender that constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct. Borrowers’ obligations under this Section 4.18(d) shall arise upon the discovery of the presence of any Hazardous Substances at the Real Property, whether or not any Governmental Body has taken or threatened any action in connection with the presence of any Hazardous Substances. Borrowers’ obligation and the indemnifications hereunder shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(e) For purposes of Section 4.18 and 5.7, all references to Real Property shall be deemed to include all of each Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to its owned and leased premises.

4.19. Financing Statements. Except with respect to the financing statements naming Agent as secured party, the financing statements described on Schedule 8 to the Perfection Certificate, and after the Closing Date, those pertaining to Permitted Encumbrances, no financing statement covering any of the Collateral or any proceeds thereof is on file in any public office.

4.20. Voting Rights in Respect of Subsidiary Stock. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and following written notice by Agent to Borrowing Agent, all rights of a Credit Party to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in Agent which shall then have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights.

XI. LENDERS’ RIGHTS AND REMEDIES AFTER DEFAULT.

11.1. Rights and Remedies.

(a) Upon the occurrence of: (i) an Event of Default pursuant to Section 10.7 all Obligations shall be immediately due and payable and this Agreement and the obligation of Lenders to make Advances shall be deemed terminated; and, (ii) any of the other Events of Default and at any time thereafter (such default not having previously been cured), at the option of Required Lenders all Obligations shall be immediately due and payable and Lenders shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and to terminate the obligation of Lenders to make Advances; and (iii) a filing of a petition against any Borrower in any involuntary case under any state or federal bankruptcy laws, all Obligations shall be immediately due and payable and the obligation of Lenders to make Advances hereunder shall be terminated other than as may be required by an appropriate order of the bankruptcy court having jurisdiction over such Borrower. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, subject to Applicable Law, Agent shall have the right to exercise any and all rights and remedies provided for herein, under the Other Documents, under the Uniform Commercial Code, the PPSA and other Applicable Law and at law or equity generally, including the right to foreclose the security interests granted herein and to realize upon any Collateral by any available judicial procedure and/or to take possession of and sell any or all of the Collateral with or without judicial process. Agent may enter any of any Credit Party’s premises or other premises without legal process and without incurring liability to any Credit Party therefor, and Agent may thereupon, or at any time thereafter, in its discretion without notice or demand, take the Collateral and remove the same to such place as Agent may deem advisable and Agent may require Credit Parties to make the Collateral available to Agent at a convenient place. With or without having the Collateral at the time or place of sale, Agent may sell the Collateral, or any part thereof, at public or private sale, at any time or place, in one or more sales, at such price or prices, and upon such terms, either for cash, credit or future delivery, as Agent may elect. Except as to that part of the Collateral which is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, Agent shall give Credit Parties reasonable notification of such sale or sales, it being agreed that in all events written notice mailed to Borrowing Agent at least ten (10) days prior to such sale or sales is reasonable notification. At any public sale Agent or any Lender may bid for and become the purchaser, and Agent, any Lender or any other purchaser at any such sale thereafter shall hold the Collateral sold absolutely free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity of redemption and all such claims, rights and equities are hereby expressly waived and released by each Credit Party. In connection with the exercise of the foregoing remedies, including the sale of Inventory, Agent is granted a perpetual nonrevocable, royalty free, nonexclusive license and Agent is granted permission to use all of each Credit Party’s (a) trademarks, trade styles, trade names, trade name applications, domain names, domain name applications, patents, patent applications, copyrights, service marks, licenses, franchises and other proprietary rights which are used or useful in connection with Inventory for the purpose of marketing, advertising for sale and selling or otherwise disposing of such Inventory and (b) Equipment for the purpose of completing the manufacture of unfinished goods. The cash proceeds realized from the sale of any Collateral shall be applied to the Obligations in the order set forth in Section 11.5 hereof unless required otherwise by Applicable Law. Noncash proceeds will only be applied to the Obligations as they are converted into cash. If any deficiency shall arise, Credit Parties shall remain liable to Agent and Lenders therefor.

(b) To the extent that Applicable Law imposes duties on Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially

104

unreasonable for Agent: (i) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition; (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of; (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Customers or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral; (iv) to exercise collection remedies against Customers and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists; (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature; (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as any Credit Party, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral; (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature; (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets; (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets; (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment; (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral; or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Credit Party acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 11.1(b) is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by Agent would not be commercially unreasonable in Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 11.1(b). Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 11.1(b) shall be construed to grant any rights to any Credit Party or to impose any duties on Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by Applicable Law in the absence of this Section 11.1(b).

11.2. Agent’s Discretion. Agent shall have the right in its sole discretion to determine which rights, Liens, security interests or remedies Agent may at any time pursue, relinquish, subordinate, or modify or to take any other action with respect thereto and such determination will not in any way modify or affect any of Agent’s or Lenders’ rights hereunder.

11.3. Setoff. Subject to Section 14.12, in addition to any other rights which Agent or any Lender may have under Applicable Law, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, Agent and such Lender shall have a right, immediately and without notice of any kind, to apply any Credit Party’s property held by Agent and such Lender to reduce the Obligations.

11.4. Rights and Remedies not Exclusive. The enumeration of the foregoing rights and remedies is not intended to be exhaustive and the exercise of any rights or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other right or remedies provided for herein or otherwise provided by law, all of which shall be cumulative and not alternative.

11.5. Allocation of Payments After Event of Default. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all amounts collected or received by Agent on account of the Obligations or any other amounts outstanding under any of the Other Documents or in respect of the Collateral may, at Agent’s discretion, be paid over or delivered as follows:

105

FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of the Agent in connection with enforcing its rights and the rights of the Lenders under this Agreement and the Other Documents, under or pursuant to the terms of this Agreement;

SECOND, to payment of any fees owed to Agent;

THIRD, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of each of the Lenders to the extent owing to such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement;

FOURTH, to the payment of all of the Obligations consisting of accrued interest on account of the Swing Loans;

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

SIXTH, to the payment of all Obligations arising under this Agreement and the Other Documents consisting of accrued fees and interest with respect to Advances and Commitment Percentages (other than interest in respect of Swing Loans paid pursuant to clause FOURTH above);

SEVENTH, to the payment of Revolving Advances, and to the payment of Hedge Liabilities and Cash Management Liabilities (in each case, only to the extent of reserves established for Hedge Liabilities or Cash Management Liabilities against the Formula Amount), and payment or Cash Collateralization of any outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 3.2(b) or 2.8(j) hereof, and not repaid pursuant to clauses “FIRST” through “SIXTH” above;

EIGHTH, to payment or Cash Collateralization of Cash Management Liabilities and Hedge Liabilities, to the extent not provided for above;

NINTH, to all other Obligations which shall have become due and payable and not repaid pursuant to clauses “FIRST” through “EIGHTH”; and

TENTH, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to whoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

In carrying out the foregoing, (i) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to application to the next succeeding category; (ii) each of the Lenders shall receive (so long as it is not a Defaulting Lender) an amount equal to its pro rata share (based on the proportion that the then outstanding Advances held by such Lender bears to the aggregate then outstanding Advances) of amounts available to be applied pursuant to clauses “THIRD”, “SIXTH”, “SEVENTH” “EIGHTH” and “NINTH”; and (iii) to the extent that any amounts available for distribution pursuant to clause “SEVENTH” above are attributable to the issued but undrawn amount of outstanding Letters of Credit, such amounts shall be held by the Agent as Cash Collateral for the Letters of Credit pursuant to Sections 3.2(b) and 2.8(j) hereof and applied (A) first, to reimburse the Issuer from time to time for any drawings under such Letters of Credit and (B) then, following the expiration of all Letters of Credit, to all other obligations of the types described in clause “SEVENTH” above in the manner provided in this Section 11.5. Monies and proceeds obtained from a Credit Party shall not be applied to

106

its Excluded Hedge Liabilities, but appropriate adjustments shall be made with respect to amounts obtained from other Credit Parties to preserve the allocations specified above.

XII. WAIVERS AND JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS.

12.1. Waiver of Notice. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Borrower hereby waives notice of non-payment of any of the Receivables, demand, presentment, protest and notice thereof with respect to any and all instruments, notice of acceptance hereof, notice of loans or advances made, credit extended, Collateral received or delivered, or any other action taken in reliance hereon, and all other demands and notices of any description, except such as are expressly provided for herein.

12.2. Delay. No delay or omission on Agent’s or any Lender’s part in exercising any right, remedy or option shall operate as a waiver of such or any other right, remedy or option or of any Default or Event of Default.

12.3. Jury Waiver. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (A) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR (B) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE AND EACH PARTY HEREBY CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENTS OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

XIII. EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERMINATION.

13.1. Term. This Agreement, which shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon the respective successors and permitted assigns of each Credit Party signatory hereto, Agent and each Lender, shall become effective on the Closing Date and shall continue in full force and effect until the Maturity Date unless sooner terminated as herein provided. Borrowers may terminate this Agreement at any time upon five (5) days’ prior written notice upon payment in full of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnity claims not yet asserted or threatened) and termination of the Commitments. Each notice delivered by the Borrowers under this Section 13.1 may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrowers (by notice to the Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

13.2. Termination. The termination of the Agreement shall not affect any Credit Party’s, Agent’s or any Lender’s rights, or any of the Obligations having their inception prior to the effective date of such termination, and the provisions hereof shall continue to be fully operative until all transactions entered into, rights or interests created or Obligations (other than contingent indemnity claims not yet asserted or threatened) have been fully and indefeasibly paid, disposed of, concluded or liquidated and all Commitments have been terminated. The security interests, Liens and rights granted to Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties hereunder and the financing statements filed in connection therewith shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement or the fact that

107

Borrowers’ Account may from time to time be temporarily in a zero or credit position, until the Termination Date. Upon the occurrence of the Termination Date or any release of Collateral or any part thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, then the Collateral (or such part of the Collateral) shall be released from the security interests created by this Agreement and Agent shall, upon the request and at the sole cost and expense of the Borrowers and receipt by Agent of a certificate from an Authorized Officer of the Borrowing Agent confirming that such release (other than in connection with the occurrence of the Termination Date) is permitted under this Agreement and each Other Document, assign, transfer and deliver to Credit Parties, without recourse to or warranty by Agent, such of the Collateral or any part thereof as may be in possession of and as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof, and, with respect to any other Collateral, proper documents and instruments (including UCC-3 termination financing statements or releases) acknowledging the termination of the Liens granted pursuant to this Agreement. All representations, warranties, covenants, waivers and agreements contained herein shall survive termination hereof until all Obligations (other than contingent indemnity claims not yet asserted or threatened) are indefeasibly paid and performed in full and all Commitments have been terminated.

XIV. REGARDING AGENT.

14.1. Appointment. Each Lender hereby designates PNC to act as Agent for such Lender under this Agreement and the Other Documents. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent to enter into the Other Documents and to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the Other Documents and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto and Agent shall hold all Collateral, payments of principal and interest, fees, charges and collections (without giving effect to any collection days) received pursuant to this Agreement, for the benefit of Lenders entitled thereto. Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder by or through its agents or employees. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement (including collection of the Note) Agent shall not 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 Required Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding; provided, however, that Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes Agent to liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or the Other Documents or Applicable Law unless Agent is furnished with an indemnification reasonably satisfactory to Agent with respect thereto.

14.2. Nature of Duties. Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Other Documents. Neither Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be (i) liable for any action taken or omitted by them as such hereunder or in connection herewith, unless caused by their gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment), or (ii) responsible in any manner for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Borrower or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement, or in any of the Other Documents or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any of the Other Documents or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, due execution, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, or any of the Other Documents or for any failure of any Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder. Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any of the Other Documents, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Borrower. The duties of Agent as respects the Advances to Borrowers shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender; and nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement except as

108

expressly set forth herein. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the “Joint Lead Arrangers,” “Joint Bookrunners,” “Co-Documentation Agents,” “Co-Syndication Agents” or Lenders listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any Other Document, except in its capacity, as applicable, as Agent, Collateral Agent, Administrative Agent, a Lender or the Issuer hereunder or thereunder. No Secured Party has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Credit Party arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any Other Document, and the relationship between the Credit Parties, on the one hand, and the Secured Parties, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor. No joint venture is created hereby or by any Other Document or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Secured Parties or among the Credit Parties and the Secured Parties.

Without limiting the foregoing, the Agent shall not be required to act hereunder or to advance its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties or the exercise of its rights hereunder and under any Other Document, and shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder unless it shall receive further assurances to its satisfaction from the Lenders of their indemnification obligations under and in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.7 against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take or refraining from taking any such action. The Agent shall be fully justified in requesting direction from the Required Lenders in the event this Agreement or any Other Document is silent or vague with respect to Agent’s duties, rights or obligations. The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision. In no instance shall the Agent have any liability for special, consequential or indirect damages or penalties (including lost profits) even if it has been advised of the likelihood of the same. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, the Agent shall not be liable for any damage or loss resulting from or caused by events or circumstances beyond the Agent’s reasonable control, including nationalization, expropriation, currency restrictions, the interruption, disruption or suspension of the normal procedures and practices of any securities market, power, mechanical, communications or other technological failures or interruptions, computer viruses or the like, acts of war or terrorism, riots, revolution, acts of God, work stoppages, strikes, national disasters of any kind, or other similar events or acts.

14.3. Lack of Reliance on Agent and Resignation. Independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender, each Lender has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of each Credit Party in connection with the making and the continuance of the Advances hereunder and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith, and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of each Credit Party. Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before making of the Advances or at any time or times thereafter except as shall be provided by any Credit Party pursuant to the terms hereof. Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any agreement, document, certificate or a statement delivered in connection with or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any Other Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto, or of the financial condition of any Credit Party, or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement, the Note, the Other Documents or the financial condition of any Borrower, or the existence of any Event of Default or any Default.

Agent may resign on sixty (60) days’ written notice to each of Lenders and Borrowing Agent and upon such resignation, the Required Lenders will promptly designate a successor Agent reasonably

109

satisfactory to Borrowing Agent. If a successor Agent shall not have been so appointed within said sixty (60) Business Day period, the retiring Agent may appoint a successor Agent reasonably satisfactory to Borrower who shall serve as an Agent until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided above.

Any such successor Agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of Agent, and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon its appointment, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent. After any Agent’s resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Article XIV shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement.

If the Person serving as Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, by notice in writing to the Borrowing Agent and such Person remove such Person as Agent and, in consultation with the Borrowing Agent, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

14.4. Certain Rights of Agent. The Agent may at any time request instructions from the Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the Other Documents the Agent is permitted or required to take or to grant. If Agent shall request any such instructions, Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until Agent shall have received instructions from the Required Lenders; and Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, Lenders shall not have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of its acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders.

14.5. Reliance. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing (including any electronic message), resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, order or other document or telephone message believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person or entity, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and the Other Documents and its duties hereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it. Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be liable for the acts, omissions, negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by Agent with reasonable care. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder, the Agent shall be entitled to receive, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, a certificate of an Authorized Officer or an opinion of counsel or both certifying as to compliance with such condition. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Credit Parties or any Lender), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

14.6. Notice of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder or under the Other Documents, unless Agent has received written notice from a Lender or Borrowing Agent referring to this Agreement or the Other Documents, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that Agent receives such a notice, Agent shall give notice thereof to Lenders and Borrowers. Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders; provided, that, unless and until Agent shall have received such directions, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such

110

action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of Lenders.

14.7. Indemnification. To the extent Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by Borrowers, each Lender will reimburse and indemnify Agent in proportion to its respective portion of the Advances (or, if no Advances are outstanding, according to its Commitment Percentage), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature, including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of its agents and attorneys, whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent in performing its duties hereunder, or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any Other Document; provided that, Lenders shall not be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment).

14.8. Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to the obligation of Agent to lend under this Agreement, the Advances made by it shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and as if it were not performing the duties as Agent specified herein; and the term “Lender” or any similar term shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender. Agent may engage in business with any Borrower as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from any Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders.

14.9. Delivery of Documents. To the extent Agent receives financial statements required under Sections 9.3, 9.7, 9.8, 9.10 and 9.11 or Borrowing Base Certificates from Borrowers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement which any Borrower is not obligated to deliver to each Lender, Agent will promptly furnish such documents and information to Lenders.

14.10. Borrowers’ Undertaking to Agent. Without prejudice to their respective obligations to Lenders under the other provisions of this Agreement, each Borrower hereby undertakes with Agent to pay to Agent from time to time on demand all amounts from time to time due and payable by it for the account of Agent or Lenders or any of them pursuant to this Agreement to the extent not already paid. Any payment made pursuant to any such demand shall pro tanto satisfy the relevant Borrower’s obligations to make payments for the account of Lenders or the relevant one or more of them pursuant to this Agreement.

14.11. No Reliance on Agent’s Customer Identification Program. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on Agent to carry out such Lender’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA PATRIOT Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with any Borrower, its Affiliates or its agents, this Agreement, the Other Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (1) any identity verification procedures, (2) any record-keeping, (3) comparisons with government lists, (4) customer notices or (5) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other Laws.

14.12. Other Documents. Each of the Lenders agrees that it shall not, without the express consent of Agent, and that it shall, to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so, upon the request of Agent, set off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by such Lender to any Borrower or any deposit accounts of any Borrower now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Anything in this Agreement to

111

the contrary notwithstanding, each of the Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so by Agent, take any action to protect or enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement or the Other Documents, it being the intent of Lenders that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement and the Other Documents shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of Agent or Required Lenders.

14.13. Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any Applicable Law Agent may deduct or withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If the IRS or any other Governmental Body asserts a claim that Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective), such Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties, additions to Tax or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred, whether or not such Tax was correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Body. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any Other Document against any amount due Agent under this Section 14.13. The agreements in this Section 14.13 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of this Agreement and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other obligations.

XV. BORROWING AGENCY.

15.1. Borrowing Agency Provisions.

(a) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably designates Borrowing Agent to be its attorney and agent and in such capacity to borrow, sign and endorse notes, and execute and deliver all instruments, documents, writings and further assurances now or hereafter required hereunder, on behalf of such Borrower or Borrowers, and hereby authorizes Agent to pay over or credit all loan proceeds hereunder in accordance with the request of Borrowing Agent.

(b) The handling of this credit facility as a co-borrowing facility with a borrowing agent in the manner set forth in this Agreement is solely as an accommodation to Borrowers and at their request. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall incur liability to Borrowers as a result thereof.

112

(c) Each of the Borrowers shall be jointly and severally liable with respect to their Obligations under the Agreement and the Other Documents to which it is party (including the Obligations to repay the Advances and interest and fees thereon, together with each other payment, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution Obligation under this Agreement and any Other Document). Such joint and several liability of each Borrower shall not be impaired or released by, and each Borrower irrevocably waives any defense it might have by virtue of: (i) the failure of any Lender or the Agent or any successor or assign thereof to assert any claim or demand or to exercise or enforce any right, power or remedy against any Borrower, any other Person, any collateral under this Agreement or otherwise, (ii) any extension or renewal for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) or exchange of any of the obligations under this Agreement or any Other Document or the release or compromise of any obligation of any nature of any Person with respect thereto, (iii) the surrender, release or exchange of all or any part of any property (including any collateral under this Agreement or otherwise) securing payment, performance and/or observance of any of the obligations under this Agreement or the Other Documents or the compromise or extension or renewal for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) of any obligations of any nature of any Person with respect to any such property, (iv) any action or inaction on the part of any Lender, the Agent or any other Person, or any other event or condition with respect to any other Borrower, including any such action or inaction or other event or condition, which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, such other Borrower, or a guarantor or surety of or for any or all of the Obligations under this Agreement or the Other Documents, (v) any disability, incapacity or lack or powers, authority or legal personality of or dissolution or change in the members or status of any Borrower or any other person, (vi) any unenforceability, illegality or invalidity of any obligation of any other Person under this Agreement or any Other Document or any other document, guaranty or security, (vii) any avoidance, postponement, discharge, reduction, non-provability or other similar circumstance affecting any obligation of any Credit Party under this Agreement or an Other Document resulting from any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, liquidation or dissolution proceedings or from any law, regulation or order so that each such obligation shall for the purposes of such other Borrower’s obligations hereunder be construed as if there were no such circumstances, (viii) the release or substitution of any other Borrower in respect of the Obligations, or (ix) any other act, matter or thing which would or might, in the absence of this provision, operate to release, discharge or otherwise prejudicially affect the joint and several nature of the obligations of such or any other Borrower. It is understood and agreed that the Lenders and the Agent shall be entitled to payment from any one or more Borrowers, as determined by the Lenders and the Agent in their discretion, of any amount due in accordance with this Agreement and the Other Documents, and no Lender nor the Agent shall be required to seek prior or simultaneous payment from any other Borrower. Until the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Obligations and the expiration or termination of the Commitments under this Agreement, each Borrower hereby agrees that it shall not exercise any right or remedy arising by reason of any performance by such Borrower of its obligations hereunder, whether by subrogation, reimbursement, contribution, indemnification or otherwise, against any other Borrower or any other Person or any Collateral for any of the Obligations.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 15.1(c), the obligations of each Borrower under Section 15.1(c) with respect to advances made by a Secured Party to one or more other Borrowers shall be limited to a maximum aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render such Borrower’s undertakings hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any applicable provisions of comparable state law (collectively, the “Fraudulent Transfer Laws”), in each case taking into account the provisions of Section 15.1(e), and after giving effect to all other liabilities of such Borrower, contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under the Fraudulent Transfer Laws and after giving effect as assets to the value (as determined under the applicable provisions of the Fraudulent Transfer Laws) of any rights to subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar rights of such Borrower pursuant to applicable law or any agreement providing for an equitable allocation among such

113

Borrower and the other Borrowers and Affiliates of the Borrowers of obligations arising under co-borrowings or guarantees by such parties.

(e) The Borrowers hereby agree, as between themselves, that if any Borrower shall become an Excess Funding Borrower (as defined below) by reason of the payment by such Borrower of any of the Obligations, each other Borrower shall, on written demand of such Excess Funding Borrower (but subject to the immediately following sentence), pay to such Excess Funding Borrower an amount equal to such Borrower’s Pro Rata Borrower Share (as defined below and determined, for this purpose, without reference to the properties, debts and liabilities of such Excess Funding Borrower) of the Excess Borrower Payment (as defined below) in respect of such Obligations. The payment obligation of a Borrower to any Excess Funding Borrower under this clause (e) shall be subordinated and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the Obligations and such Excess Funding Borrower shall not exercise any right or remedy with respect to such excess until payment in full of all of the Obligations. For purposes of this Section 15.1(e), (i) “Excess Funding Borrower” means a Borrower that has paid an amount in excess of its Pro Rata Borrower Share of the Obligations, (ii) “Excess Borrower Payment” means the amount paid by an Excess Funding Borrower in excess of its Pro Rata Borrower Share of the Obligations and (iii) “Pro Rata Borrower Share” means, for any Borrower, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of (x) the amount by which the aggregate fair saleable value of all properties of such Borrower (excluding any shares of stock of any other Borrower) exceeds the amount of all the debts and liabilities of such Borrower (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of such Borrower hereunder and any obligations of any other Borrower that have been guaranteed by such Borrower) to (y) the amount by which the aggregate fair saleable value of all properties of all of the Borrowers exceeds the amount of all the debts and liabilities of all of the Borrowers (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement and the Other Documents), determined (A) with respect to any Borrower that is a party hereto on the date hereof, as of the date hereof, and (B) with respect to any other Borrower, as of the date such Borrower becomes a Borrower hereunder.

15.2. Waiver of Subrogation. Each Borrower expressly waives any and all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity, exoneration, contribution of any other claim which such Borrower may now or hereafter have against the other Borrowers or other Person directly or contingently liable for the Obligations hereunder, or against or with respect to the other Borrowers’ property (including, without limitation, any property which is Collateral for the Obligations), arising from the existence or performance of this Agreement, until the Termination Date.

XVI. MISCELLANEOUS.

16.1. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applied to contracts to be performed wholly within the State of New York. Any judicial proceeding brought by or against any Credit Party with respect to any of the Obligations, this Agreement, the Other Documents or any related agreement may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction in the State of New York, United States of America, and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Credit Party accepts for itself and in connection with its properties, generally and unconditionally, the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts, and irrevocably agrees to be bound by any judgment rendered thereby in connection with this Agreement. Each Credit Party hereby waives personal service of any and all process upon it and consents that all such service of process may be made by registered mail (return receipt requested) directed to Borrowing Agent at its address set forth in Section 16.6 and service so made shall be deemed completed five (5) days after the same shall have been so deposited in the mails of the United States of America, or, at Agent’s option, by service upon Borrowing Agent which each Credit Party irrevocably appoints as such Credit Party’s Agent for the purpose of accepting service within the State of New York. Nothing herein shall affect the right to

114

serve process in any manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of Agent or any Lender to bring proceedings against any Credit Party in the courts of any other jurisdiction. Each Credit Party waives any objection to jurisdiction and venue of any action instituted hereunder and shall not assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue or based upon forum non conveniens with respect to any action brought in the aforesaid courts. The provisions of Sections 3.6, 16.20 and 16.21 are included solely out of an abundance of caution and shall not be construed to mean that any provisions of Texas law are in any way applicable to this Agreement, the Other Documents or any of the Obligations.

Neither this Agreement nor any portion or provisions hereof may be changed, modified, amended, waived, supplemented, discharged, cancelled or terminated orally or by any course of dealing, or in any manner other than by an agreement in writing, signed by the party to be charged. Each Credit Party acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel in connection with the execution of this Agreement and Other Documents and is not relying upon oral representations or statements inconsistent with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

(b) The Required Lenders, Agent with the consent in writing of the Required Lenders, and the applicable Credit Parties may, subject to the provisions of this Section 16.2(b), from time to time enter into written supplemental agreements to this Agreement or the Other Documents (other than with respect to Cash Management Products and Services and Lender-Provided Hedges, other similar agreements or the Fee Letter, which shall require only the consent of the parties thereto) executed by the applicable Credit Parties, for the purpose of adding or deleting any provisions or otherwise changing, varying or waiving in any manner the rights of Lenders, Agent or Credit Parties thereunder or the conditions, provisions or terms thereof or waiving any Event of Default thereunder, but only to the extent specified in such written agreements; provided, however, that no such supplemental agreement shall:

(i) increase the Commitment Percentage, or the maximum dollar amount of the Commitment Amount of any Lender without the consent of such Lender directly affected thereby;

(ii) whether or not any Advances are outstanding, extend the Maturity Date or the time for payment of principal or interest of any Advance (excluding the due date of any mandatory prepayment of an Advance), or any fee payable to any Lender, or reduce the principal amount of or the rate of interest borne by any Advances or reduce any fee payable to any Lender, without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (except that Required Lenders may elect to waive or rescind any imposition of the Default Rate under Section 3.1 or of default rates of Letter of Credit fees under Section 3.2 (unless imposed by Agent));

115

for the pro rata sharing by the Lenders of payments received on the Revolving Advances or the pro rata reduction of their commitments to make Advances without the consent of all Lenders;

(vi) other than in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement upon the occurrence of the Termination Date or with respect to any disposition of Collateral permitted under this Agreement, release all or substantially all of the Collateral without the consent of all Lenders;

(vii) change the exculpatory provisions in this Agreement benefitting Agent without the consent of all Lenders;

(viii) permit any Revolving Advance to be made if after giving effect thereto the total of Revolving Advances outstanding hereunder would exceed the Line Cap for more than thirty (30) consecutive Business Days or exceed one hundred and five percent (105%) of the Line Cap without the consent of all Lenders directly affected thereby;

(ix) increase the Advance Rates above the Advance Rates in effect on the Closing Date, or alter the definitions of Eligible In-Transit Fuel Inventory, Eligible In-Transit Sand Inventory, Eligible Inventory, Eligible Receivables in a manner that would increase the Formula Amount without the consent of Supermajority Lenders; or

(c) Any such supplemental agreement shall apply equally to each Lender and shall be binding upon Borrowers, Lenders and Agent and all future holders of the Obligations. In the case of any waiver, Borrowers, Agent and Lenders shall be restored to their former positions and rights, and any Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing, but no waiver of a specific Event of Default shall extend to any subsequent Event of Default (whether or not the subsequent Event of Default is the same as the Event of Default which was waived), or impair any right consequent thereon.

(d) Nothing herein contained, and no act done or omitted by the Agent pursuant to the powers and rights granted it herein, shall be deemed to be a waiver by the Agent of its rights and remedies under this Agreement, any Organizational Document of any Credit Party or any related document, but this Agreement is made and accepted without prejudice to any of the rights and remedies possessed by the Agent under the terms hereof or thereof. The right of the Agent to collect any amounts due to the Secured Parties hereunder or any Other Document and to enforce its rights with respect to Collateral may be exercised by the Agent either prior to, simultaneously with or subsequent to any action taken by it hereunder or any Other Document.

16.3. Successors and Assigns; Participations.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Credit Party, Agent, each Lender, all future holders of the Obligations and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that Credit Parties may not assign or transfer any of their rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Agent and each Lender.

(b) Each Borrower acknowledges that in the regular course of commercial banking business one or more Lenders may at any time and from time to time sell participating interests in the Advances (other than Swing Loans) to other financial institutions (each such transferee or purchaser of a participating interest, a “Participant”). Each Participant may exercise all rights of payment (including

116

rights of set-off to the extent permitted by Applicable Law) with respect to the portion of such Advances (other than Swing Loans) held by it or other Obligations payable hereunder as fully as if such Participant were the direct holder thereof, and each Participant shall have the benefits of Section 3.10 hereof (subject to the rights and limitations therein, provided that any forms required to be provided by any Participant pursuant to Section 3.10 shall be provided to the participating Lender) provided that Borrowers shall not be required to pay to any Participant more than the amount which it would have been required to pay to Lender which granted an interest in its Advances or other Obligations payable hereunder to such Participant had such Lender retained such interest in the Advances hereunder or other Obligations payable hereunder, unless the sale of the participation is made with the Borrowers’ prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and in no event shall Borrowers be required to pay any such amount arising from the same circumstances and with respect to the same Advances or other Obligations payable hereunder to both such Lender and such Participant. Each Participant shall have the benefits of Section 3.10 hereof. Each Borrower hereby grants to any Participant a continuing security interest in any deposits, moneys or other property actually or constructively held by such Participant as security for the Participant’s interest in the Advances. No Lenders shall transfer, grant or sell any participation under which the participant shall have the right to approve any amendment or waiver of this Agreement except to the extent such amendment or waiver would require the approval of all Lenders pursuant to Section 16.2(b). Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Advances or other obligations under this Agreement and the Other Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under this Agreement or any Other Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register

(c) Any Lender may assign all or any part of its rights and obligations under or relating to Revolving Advances (other than Swing Loans) under this Agreement and the Other Documents to one or more additional banks or financial institutions (each such assignee, a “Purchasing Lender”), in minimum amounts of not less than $5,000,000, pursuant to a Commitment Transfer Supplement, executed by a Purchasing Lender, the transferor Lender, and Agent and delivered to Agent for recording; provided that any such assignment will require the consents of Agent and Borrowing Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except that no consent of Borrowing Agent shall be required for an assignment during an Event of Default or to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the transfer effective date determined pursuant to such Commitment Transfer Supplement, (i) Purchasing Lender thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Commitment Transfer Supplement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder with a Commitment Percentage as set forth therein, and (ii) the transferor Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Commitment Transfer Supplement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement, the Commitment Transfer Supplement creating a novation for that purpose. Such Commitment Transfer Supplement shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing Lender and the resulting adjustment of the Commitment Percentages arising from the purchase by such Purchasing Lender of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such transferor Lender under this Agreement and the Other Documents. Each Borrower hereby consents to the addition of such Purchasing Lender and the resulting adjustment of the

117

Commitment Percentages arising from the purchase by such Purchasing Lender of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such transferor Lender under this Agreement and the Other Documents. Borrowers shall execute and deliver such further documents and do such further acts and things in order to effectuate the foregoing.

(d) Any Lender, with the consent of Agent which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, may directly or indirectly sell, assign or transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under or relating to Revolving Advances under this Agreement and the Other Documents to an entity, whether a corporation, partnership, trust, limited liability company or other entity that (i) is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and (ii) is administered, serviced or managed by the assigning Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender (a “Purchasing CLO” and together with each Participant and Purchasing Lender, each a “Transferee” and collectively the “Transferees”), pursuant to a Commitment Transfer Supplement modified as appropriate to reflect the interest being assigned (“Modified Commitment Transfer Supplement”), executed by any intermediate purchaser, the Purchasing CLO, the transferor Lender, and Agent as appropriate and delivered to Agent for recording. Upon such execution and delivery, from and after the transfer effective date determined pursuant to such Modified Commitment Transfer Supplement, (i) Purchasing CLO thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Modified Commitment Transfer Supplement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender thereunder and (ii) the transferor Lender thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Modified Commitment Transfer Supplement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement, the Modified Commitment Transfer Supplement creating a novation for that purpose. Such Modified Commitment Transfer Supplement shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing CLO. Each Borrower hereby consents to the addition of such Purchasing CLO. Borrowers shall execute and deliver such further documents and do such further acts and things in order to effectuate the foregoing.

(e) Agent shall maintain at its address a copy of each Commitment Transfer Supplement and Modified Commitment Transfer Supplement delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Lender and the outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest and other fees due hereunder. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and each Borrower, Agent and Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Advance recorded therein for the purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by any Borrower or any Lender (with respect to its own interests) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Agent shall receive a fee in the amount of $3,500 payable by the applicable Purchasing Lender and/or Purchasing CLO upon the effective date of each transfer or assignment (other than to an intermediate purchaser) to such Purchasing Lender and/or Purchasing CLO.

(f) Each Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Transferee and any prospective Transferee any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning such Borrower which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of such Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of such Borrower; provided that the Transferee or prospective Transferee agrees to be bound by a non-disclosure agreement approved by Borrowers pursuant to which Borrowers are third party beneficiaries.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 16.3: (i) no sale, transfer or assignment of all or any portion of any Lender’s rights and obligations under or relating to Loans under this Agreement shall be made to any Credit Party or any of their respective Affiliates.

118

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time and from time to time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge 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.

16.4. Application of Payments. Subject to application of payments and proceeds in accordance with Section 11.5, Agent shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and re-apply any payment and any and all proceeds of Collateral to any portion of the Obligations. To the extent that any Borrower makes a payment or Agent or any Lender receives any payment or proceeds of the Collateral for any Borrower’s benefit, which are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver, custodian or any other party under any bankruptcy law, common law or equitable cause, then, to such extent, the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Agent or such Lender.

16.5. Indemnity. Each Credit Party shall defend, protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless Agent, Issuer, each Lender and each of their respective officers, directors, Affiliates, attorneys, employees and agents (each an “Indemnified Party”) for and from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, fines, actions, judgments, suits, costs, charges, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel (including allocated costs of internal counsel)) (collectively, “Claims”) which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party in arising out of or in any way relating to or as a consequence, direct or indirect, of: (a) this Agreement, the Other Documents, the Advances and other Obligations and/or the transactions contemplated hereby including the Transactions, (b) any action or failure to act or action taken only after delay or the satisfaction of any conditions by any Indemnified Party in connection with and/or relating to the negotiation, execution, delivery or administration of the Agreement and the Other Documents, the credit facilities established hereunder and thereunder and/or the transactions contemplated hereby including the Transactions, (c) any Credit Party’s failure to observe, perform or discharge any of its covenants, obligations, agreements or duties under or breach of any of the representations or warranties made in this Agreement and the Other Documents, (d) the enforcement of any of the rights and remedies of Agent, Issuer or any Lender under the Agreement and the Other Documents, (e) any threatened or actual imposition of fines or penalties, or disgorgement of benefits, for violation of any Anti-Terrorism Law by any Credit Party, any Affiliate or Subsidiary of any Credit Party, (f) any claim, litigation, proceeding or investigation instituted or conducted by any Governmental Body or instrumentality or any other Person with respect to any aspect of, or any transaction contemplated by, or referred to in, or any matter related to, this Agreement or the Other Documents, whether or not brought by any Credit Party, any director, equity holder or creditor thereof, any Indemnified Party or any other Person and whether or not any Indemnified Party is a party thereto and (g) arising from or incurred by reason of the handling of the financing arrangements of Borrowers as provided in Section 15.1, reliance by Agent or any Lender on any request or instruction from Borrowing Agent or any other action taken by Agent or any Lender with respect to Section 15.1; provided, however, notwithstanding anything in this Section 16.5, to the contrary, no Credit Party shall be required to indemnify any Indemnified Party for any Claim which, in each case is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from (x) such Indemnified Party’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct or that of its respective Affiliates or each of their respective officers, directors, employees, advisors and agents, (y) a claim brought by any Credit Party against an Indemnified Party for breach, in bad faith, of such Indemnified Party’s obligations to make Advances hereunder, or (z) any dispute solely among Indemnified Parties and not involving a Credit Party or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof and not arising out of or in connection with, in each case is found in a final

119

non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction, (i) the Agent’s or its Affiliates’ respective capacities in connection with this Agreement or in fulfilling their roles as Agent, arranger or bookrunner or (ii) any action or inaction of a Credit Party, any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates. Without limiting the generality of any of the foregoing (but subject to clauses (x)-(z) above), each Credit Party shall defend, protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless each Indemnified Party from (A) any Claims which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party arising out of or in any way relating to or as a consequence, direct or indirect, of the issuance of any Letter of Credit hereunder and (B) any Claims which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party under any Environmental Laws with respect to or in connection with the Real Property, any Hazardous Discharge, the presence of any Hazardous Substances affecting the Real Property (whether or not the same originates or emerges from the Real Property or any contiguous real estate), including any Claims consisting of or relating to the imposition or assertion of any Lien on any of the Real Property under any Environmental Laws and any loss of value of the Real Property as a result of the foregoing except to the extent such loss, liability, damage and expense is attributable to any Hazardous Discharge resulting from actions on the part of Agent or any Lender. The Credit Parties’ obligations under this Section 16.5 shall arise upon the discovery of the presence of any Hazardous Substances at the Real Property, whether or not any federal, state, or local environmental agency has taken or threatened any action in connection with the presence of any Hazardous Substances, in each such case except to the extent that any of the foregoing arises out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Party (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing (but subject to clauses (x)-(z) above), this indemnity shall extend to any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) asserted against or incurred by any of the Indemnified Parties by any Person under any Environmental Laws or similar laws by reason of any Credit Party’s or any other Person’s failure to comply with laws applicable to solid or hazardous waste materials, including Hazardous Substances and Hazardous Waste, or other Toxic Substances. No Indemnified Party shall be liable for any damage arising from the use by others of information relating to the Credit Parties obtained through electronic, telecommunications or other information systems, except to the extent such damages are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person. This Section 16.5 shall not apply to Taxes, other than any Taxes that represent claims, demands, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, fines, actions, judgments, suits, costs, charges, expenses or disbursements arising from any non-Tax claim.

16.7. Survival. The obligations of Borrowers under Sections 2.2, 2.8(g), Article III, 4.18(d), and 16.5 and the obligations of Lenders under Section 14.7, shall survive termination of this Agreement and the Other Documents and payment in full of the Obligations.

16.8. Severability. If any part of this Agreement is contrary to, prohibited by, or deemed invalid under Applicable Laws, such provision shall be inapplicable and deemed omitted to the extent so contrary, prohibited or invalid, but the remainder hereof shall not be invalidated thereby and shall be given effect so far as possible.

16.9. Expenses. (A) All documented costs and expenses including attorneys’ fees (which in the case of clauses (b) and (e) shall be reasonable and which in each case below, includes the costs and

122

disbursements of one (1) lead counsel for Agent and Lenders and one (1) additional local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction) incurred by Agent on its behalf or on behalf of Lenders (a) in all efforts made to enforce payment of any Obligation or effect collection of any Collateral or enforcement of this Agreement or any of the Other Documents, (b) in connection with the entering into, syndication, modification, amendment and administration of this Agreement or any of the Other Documents or any consents or waivers hereunder or thereunder and all related agreements, documents and instruments, (c) in instituting, maintaining, preserving, enforcing and foreclosing on Agent’s security interest in or Lien on any of the Collateral, or maintaining, preserving or enforcing any of Agent’s or any Lender’s rights hereunder or under any Other Document, whether through judicial proceedings or otherwise, (d) in defending or prosecuting any actions or proceedings arising out of or relating to Agent’s or any Lender’s transactions with any Credit Party or any other creditor of a Credit Party, (e) in connection with any advice given to Agent or any Lender with respect to its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Other Documents or (f) without limiting the foregoing, in ensuring compliance with Article IV and Section 6.6, and all of the foregoing may be charged to Borrowers’ Account and shall be part of the Obligations.

(B) At any time after the Amendment No. 5 Effective Date, Agent may retain a financial advisor to Agent and the Lenders (the “Financial Advisor”) to conduct a detailed review of the financial statements, financial projections, existing business model, operations and long-term credit structure of the Parent Guarantor and its Subsidiaries and such other matters relating to the Parent Guarantor and its Subsidiaries as Agent shall determine. The Credit Parties shall cooperate with the Financial Advisor and provide the Financial Advisor all such information reasonably requested by it. Without limiting Section 16.9(A), the Credit Parties shall be responsible for, and timely pay, all reasonable and documented fees and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and disbursements of the Financial Advisor, including, if requested by the Financial Advisor and approved by Agent, a retainer to be applied to such fees and expenses.

16.10. Injunctive Relief. Each Borrower recognizes that, in the event any Borrower fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, or threatens to fail to perform, observe or discharge such obligations or liabilities, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to Lenders; therefore, Agent, if Agent so requests, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving that actual damages are not an adequate remedy.

16.11. Consequential Damages. Neither Agent nor any Lender, nor any agent or attorney for any of them, shall be liable to any Credit Party (or any Subsidiary of any such Person) for indirect, punitive, exemplary or consequential damages arising from any breach of contract, tort or other wrong relating to the establishment, administration or collection of the Obligations or as a result of any transaction contemplated under this Agreement or any Other Document.

16.12. Captions. The captions at various places in this Agreement are intended for convenience only and do not constitute and shall not be interpreted as part of this Agreement.

16.13. Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in any number of and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, all of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same agreement. Any signature delivered by a party by facsimile or electronic transmission shall be deemed to be an original signature hereto.

16.14. Construction. The parties acknowledge that each party and its counsel have reviewed this Agreement and that the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved

123

against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any amendments, schedules or exhibits thereto.

16.15. Confidentiality; Sharing Information. Agent, each Lender and each Transferee shall hold all non-public information of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries obtained by Agent, such Lender or such Transferee pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement in accordance with Agent’s, such Lender’s and such Transferee’s customary procedures for handling confidential information of this nature; provided, however, Agent, each Lender and each Transferee may disclose such confidential information (a) to its examiners, Affiliates, outside auditors, counsel and other professional advisors, (b) to Agent, any Lender or to any prospective Transferees (provided that any prospective Transferee has agreed in writing to hold such information confidential), and (c) as required or requested by any Governmental Body or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process; provided, further that (i) unless specifically prohibited by Applicable Law, Agent, each Lender and each Transferee shall use its reasonable best efforts prior to disclosure thereof, to notify the applicable Borrower of the applicable request for disclosure of such non-public information (A) by a Governmental Body or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with an examination of the financial condition of a Lender or a Transferee by such Governmental Body) or (B) pursuant to legal process and (ii) in no event shall Agent, any Lender or any Transferee be obligated to return any materials furnished by any Borrower other than those documents and instruments in possession of Agent or any Lender in order to perfect its Lien on the Collateral once the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification Obligations to the extent no claim giving rise thereto has been asserted) have been paid in full and this Agreement has been terminated. Each Borrower acknowledges that from time to time financial advisory, investment banking and other services may be offered or provided to such Borrower or one or more of its Subsidiaries (in connection with this Agreement or otherwise) by any Lender or by one or more Subsidiaries or Affiliates of such Lender and each Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender to share any information delivered to such Lender by such Borrower and its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement, or in connection with the decision of such Lender to enter into this Agreement, to any such Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender, it being understood that any such Subsidiary or Affiliate of any Lender receiving such information shall be bound by the provisions of this Section 16.15 as if it were a Lender hereunder. Such authorization shall survive the repayment of the other Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

16.16. Publicity. Each Borrower agrees that any references to Agent, any Lender or any of their respective affiliates made in connection with the Transactions are subject to the prior approval of Agent or such Lender, as applicable, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Agent and Lenders shall not be permitted to use information related to the syndication and arrangement of the Loans in connection with marketing, press releases or other transactional announcements or updates provided to investor or trade publications, including, but not limited to, the placement of “tombstone” advertisements in publications of their choice at their own expense, without the prior written consent of Parent Guarantor (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, that (I), notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Agent and Lenders may include references to the Loans in their marketing materials without the prior written consent of Borrowers so long as such references shall be limited to: (i) a description of the Transactions, including industry type; (ii) a reproduction of any Borrower’s logo; (iii) a description of Agent’s and/or Lenders’ roles in the Transactions (e.g., administrative agent, arranger); (iv) the date and amount of the Loans; and (v) the names of the Borrowers and the other Credit Parties, and (II) upon the consent by Parent Guarantor, Agent and Lenders may make and distribute reproductions of such consented-to marketing, press releases or other transactional announcements or updates.

16.17. Certifications From Banks and Participants; USA PATRIOT Act.

(a) Each Lender or assignee or participant of a Lender that is not incorporated under the Laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (and is not excepted from the certification

124

requirement contained in Section 313 of the USA PATRIOT Act and the applicable regulations because it is both (i) an affiliate of a depository institution or foreign bank that maintains a physical presence in the United States or foreign country, and (ii) subject to supervision by a banking authority regulating such affiliated depository institution or foreign bank) shall deliver to the Agent the certification, or, if applicable, recertification, certifying that such Lender is not a “shell” and certifying to other matters as required by Section 313 of the USA PATRIOT Act and the applicable regulations: (1) within 10 days after the Closing Date, and (2) as such other times as are required under the USA PATRIOT Act.

(b) The USA PATRIOT Act requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record certain information that identifies individuals or business entities which open an “account” with such financial institution. Consequently, Lenders may from time to time request, and Borrowers shall provide to any such Lender, each Borrower’s name, address, tax identification number and/or such other identifying information as shall be necessary for such Lender to comply with the USA PATRIOT Act and any other Anti-Terrorism Law.

16.18. Anti-Terrorism Laws. Each Credit Party represents and warrants to the Agent, as of the date of this Agreement, the date of each Advance, the date of any renewal, extension or modification of this Agreement, and at all times until the Termination Date, that: (i) no Covered Entity is a Sanctioned Person and (ii) no Covered Entity, either in its own right or through any third party, (a) has any of its assets in a Sanctioned Country or in the possession, custody or control of a Sanctioned Person in violation of any Anti-Terrorism Law, (b) does business in or with, or derives any of its income from investments in or transactions with, any Sanctioned Country or Sanctioned Person in violation of any Anti-Terrorism Law or (c) engages in any dealings or transactions prohibited by, any Anti-Terrorism Laws.

16.19. Concerning Joint and Several Liability of Borrowers.

(a) Each of Borrowers is accepting joint and several liability hereunder in consideration of the financial accommodations to be provided by the Lenders under this Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each of Borrowers and in consideration of the undertakings of each of Borrowers to accept joint and several liability for the obligations of each of them.

(b) Each of Borrowers jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other Borrowers with respect to the payment and performance of all of the Obligations, it being the intention of the parties hereto that all the Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each of Borrowers without preferences or distinction among them.

(c) If and to the extent that any of Borrowers shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the Obligations as and when due or to perform any of the Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event, the other Borrowers will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such Obligation.

(d) The obligations of each Borrower under the provisions of this Section 16.19 constitute full recourse obligations of such Borrower, enforceable against it to the full extent of its properties and assets, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other circumstances whatsoever.

(e) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, each Borrower hereby waives notice of acceptance of its joint and several liability, notice of any Advance made under this Agreement, notice of occurrence of any Event of Default, or of any demand for any payment under this Agreement (except as otherwise provided herein), notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by any Lender under or in

125

respect of any of the Obligations, any requirement of diligence and, generally, all demands, notices and other formalities of every kind in connection with this Agreement. Each Borrower hereby assents to, and waives notice of, any extension or postponement of the time for the payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by any Lender at any time or times in respect of any default by any Borrower in the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement, any and all other indulgences whatsoever by any Lender in respect of any of the Obligations, and the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time or times, of any security for any of the Obligations or in part, at any time or times, of any security for any of the Obligations or the addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, of any Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower assents to any other action or delay in acting or failure to act on the part of any Lender, including, without limitation, any failure strictly or diligently to assert any right or to pursue any remedy or to comply fully with the Applicable Laws or regulations thereunder which might, but for the provisions of this Section 16.19, afford grounds for terminating, discharging or relieving such Borrower, in whole or in part, from any of its obligations under this Section 16.19, it being the intention of each Borrower that, so long as any of the Obligations remain unsatisfied, the obligations of such Borrower under this Section 16.19 shall not be discharged except by performance and then only to the extent of such performance. The Obligations of each Borrower under this Section 16.19 shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to any Borrower or any Lender. The joint and several liability of Borrowers hereunder shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any absorption, merger, amalgamation or any other change whatsoever in the name, membership, constitution or place of formation of any Borrower or any Lender.

(f) The provisions of this Section 16.19 are made for the benefit of the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, and may be enforced by any such Person from time to time against any of Borrowers as often as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of any Lender first to marshal any of its claims or to exercise any of its rights against any of the other Borrowers or to exhaust any remedies available to it against any of the other Borrowers or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations or to elect any other remedy. The provisions of this Section 16.19 shall remain in effect until all the Obligations shall have been paid in full or otherwise fully satisfied. If at any time, any payment, or any part thereof, made in respect of any of the Obligations, is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any of Borrowers, or otherwise, the provisions of this Section 16.19 will forthwith be reinstated in effect, as though such payment had not been made.

(g) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other of the Other Documents, to the extent the joint obligations of a Borrower shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then the obligations of each Borrower hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under Applicable Law (whether federal or state and including, without limitation, the federal Bankruptcy Code).

(h) Borrowers hereby agree, as among themselves, that if any Borrower shall become an Excess Funding Borrower (as defined below), each other Borrower shall, on demand of such Excess Funding Borrower (but subject to the next sentence hereof and to subsection (B) below), pay to such Excess Funding Borrower an amount equal to such Borrower’s Pro Rata Share (as defined below and determined, for this purpose, without reference to the properties, assets, liabilities and debts of such Excess Funding Borrower) of such Excess Payment (as defined below). The payment obligation of any Borrower to any Excess Funding Borrower under this Section 16.19(h) shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the Obligations of such Borrower under the other

126

provisions of this Agreement, and such Excess Funding Borrower shall not exercise any right or remedy with respect to such excess until payment and satisfaction in full of all of such Obligations. For purposes hereof, (i) “Excess Funding Borrower” shall mean, in respect of any Obligations arising under the other provisions of this Agreement (hereafter, the “Joint Obligations”), a Borrower that has paid an amount in excess of its Pro Rata Share of the Joint Obligations; (ii) “Excess Payment” shall mean, in respect of any Joint Obligations, the amount paid by an Excess Funding Borrower in excess of its Pro Rata Share of such Joint Obligations; and (iii) “Pro Rata Share,” for the purposes of this Section 16.19(h), shall mean, for any Borrower, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of (A) the amount by which the aggregate present fair salable value of all of its assets and properties exceeds the amount of all debts and liabilities of such Borrower (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured, and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of such Borrower hereunder) to (B) the amount by which the aggregate present fair salable value of all assets and other properties of such Borrower and all of the other Borrowers exceeds the amount of all of the debts and liabilities (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured, and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of such Borrower and the other Borrowers hereunder) of such Borrower and all of the other Borrowers, all as of the Closing Date (if any Borrower becomes a party hereto subsequent to the Closing Date, then for the purposes of this Section 16.19(h) such subsequent Borrower shall be deemed to have been a Borrower as of the Closing Date and the information pertaining to, and only pertaining to, such Borrower as of the date such Borrower became a Borrower shall be deemed true as of the Closing Date) notwithstanding the payment obligations imposed on Borrowers in this Section, the failure of a Borrower to make any payment to an Excess Funding Borrower as required under this Section shall not constitute an Event of Default.

16.20. Non-Applicability of Chapter 346. The parties hereto hereby agree that, except for the opt-out provisions of Section 346.004 thereof, the provisions of Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code (regulating certain revolving credit loans and revolving tri-party accounts) shall not apply to this Agreement, any of the Other Documents, or the Obligations.

16.21. BORROWERS’ WAIVER OF RIGHTS UNDER TEXAS DECEPTIVE TRADE PRACTICES ACT. EACH BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHTS UNDER THE DECEPTIVE TRADE PRACTICES-CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT, SECTION § 17.41 ET SEQ. TEXAS BUSINESS & COMMERCE CODE, A LAW THAT GIVES CONSUMERS SPECIAL RIGHTS AND PROTECTIONS. AFTER CONSULTATION WITH AN ATTORNEY OF THE BORROWERS’ OWN SELECTION, EACH BORROWER VOLUNTARILY CONSENTS TO THIS WAIVER. EACH BORROWER EXPRESSLY WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT EACH BORROWER (A) IS NOT IN A SIGNIFICANTLY DISPARATE BARGAINING POSITION RELATIVE TO AGENT, AND (B) HAS BEEN REPRESENTED BY LEGAL COUNSEL IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER DOCUMENTS.

16.22. Amendment and Restatement.

(i) On the Closing Date, the Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety by this Agreement and the Existing Credit Agreement shall thereafter be of no further force and effect except to evidence (i) the incurrence by the Borrowers of the “Obligations” under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement (whether or not such “Obligations” are contingent as of the Closing Date), (ii) the representations and warranties made by the Credit Parties prior to the Closing Date and (iii) any action or omission performed or required to be performed pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement prior to the Closing Date (including any failure, prior to the Closing Date, to comply with the covenants contained in such Existing Credit Agreement).

127

(ii) The terms and conditions of this Agreement and the rights and remedies of the Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement and the Other Documents shall apply to all of the Obligations incurred under the Existing Credit Agreement.

(iii) The Credit Parties hereby reaffirm the Liens granted pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement and the Other Documents (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) and existing immediately prior to the Closing Date to the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, which Liens shall continue in full force and effect during the term of this Agreement and any renewals thereof and shall continue to secure the Obligations. After giving effect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, neither the modification of the Existing Credit Agreement effected pursuant to this amendment and restatement nor the execution, delivery, performance or effectiveness of this Agreement (i) impairs the validity, effectiveness or priority of the Liens granted pursuant to this Agreement or any Other Document, and such Liens continue unimpaired with the same priority to secure repayment of all Obligations, whether heretofore or hereafter incurred; or (ii) requires that any new filings be made or other action taken to perfect or to maintain the perfection of such Liens. The Parent Guarantor hereby reaffirms its obligations under the Guaranty, which shall remain in full force and effect.

(iv) On and after the Closing Date, (i) all references to this Agreement in the Other Documents (other than this Agreement) shall be deemed to refer to this Agreement and (ii) all references to any section (or subsection) of the Existing Credit Agreement in any Other Document (but not herein) shall be amended to become, mutatis mutandis, references to the corresponding provisions of this Agreement.

(v) This amendment and restatement is limited as written and is not a consent to any other amendment, restatement or waiver or other modification, whether or not similar and, except as expressly provided herein or in any Other Document, all terms and conditions of the Other Documents remain in full force and effect unless otherwise specifically amended hereby or by any Other Document.

(vi) For the avoidance of doubt, unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, all “baskets” set forth in this Agreement shall be calculated from the Closing Date.

(vii) The Advances outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement on the Closing Date shall be deemed borrowed hereunder, and the Lenders shall fund such portion of the Advances or receive prepayment of such Advances as directed by the Agent such that after giving effect thereto each Lender has made its Commitment Percentage of the Advances outstanding on the Closing Date.
