Guarantees; Security for the New ABL Facility All obligations under the New ABL Facility are unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and, subject to certain exceptions, each of its existing and future direct and indirect wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries.

Interest; Fees for New ABL Facility The interest rates per annum applicable to the loans under the New ABL Facility are based on a fluctuating rate of interest measured by reference to, at the Company’s election, either (1) an adjusted LIBOR plus a borrowing margin, or (2) an alternative base rate plus a borrowing margin.
