Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to the applicable Funding Date that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of the Loans to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such Funding Date and the Administrative Agent may at the direction of the Required Lenders (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, fund the Escrow Account a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender.

2.05 Notes.

(a) Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 14.04(c) and shall, if requested by such Lender, also be evidenced by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, a “Note” and, collectively, the “Notes”).

(b) Each Lender will note on its internal records the amount of each Loan made by it and each payment in respect thereof and, to the extent applicable, prior to any transfer of any of its Notes will endorse on the reverse side thereof the outstanding principal amount of Loans evidenced thereby. Failure to make any such notation or any error in such notation shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 2.05 or elsewhere in this Agreement, Notes shall only be delivered to Lenders which at any time specifically request the delivery of such Notes. No failure of any Lender to request or obtain a Note evidencing its Loans to the Borrower shall affect or in any manner impair the obligations of the Borrower to pay the Loans (and all related Obligations) incurred by such Borrower which would otherwise be evidenced thereby in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, and shall not in any way affect the security or guaranties therefor provided pursuant to the various Credit Documents. Any Lender which does not have a Note evidencing its outstanding Loans shall in no event be required to make the notations otherwise described in preceding clause (b). At any time when any Lender requests the delivery of a Note to evidence any of its Loans, the respective Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to the respective Lender the requested Note in the appropriate amount or amounts to evidence such Loans.

2.08 Interest.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.08(b), Loans shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof (including any Fees or other amounts due and unpaid hereunder) at a rate per annum equal to 12% per annum payable in cash on the Maturity Date.

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the principal amount of all Loans outstanding and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest payments on the Loans or any Fees or other amounts due and unpaid under any Credit Document, shall thereafter bear interest at the Default Rate. Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section 2.08 is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of any Agent or any Lender. Any accrued and unpaid interest pursuant to this clause (b) shall be payable upon demand in cash.

(c) Accrued and unpaid interest shall be payable in cash in respect of each Loan on (x) the date of any repayment or prepayment thereof (on the amount prepaid or repaid), and (y) the Maturity Date (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and thereafter, on demand.

2.09 [Reserved].

2.10 Increased Costs

(a) If any Lender determines that after the Effective Date the introduction of or any change in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline, directive or request (whether or not having the force of law) concerning capital adequacy, or any change in interpretation or administration thereof by the NAIC or any Governmental Authority, central

bank or comparable agency, will have the effect of increasing the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender based on the existence of such Lender’s Commitments hereunder or its obligations hereunder, then the Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender, upon its written demand therefor, such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Lender or such other corporation for the increased cost to such Lender or such other corporation or the reduction in the rate of return to such Lender or such other corporation as a result of such increase of capital. In determining such additional amounts, each Lender will act reasonably and in good faith and will use averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable, provided that such Lender’s determination of compensation owing under this Section 2.10(a) shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto. Each Lender, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.10(a), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall show in reasonable detail the basis for calculation of such additional amounts.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder, issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof, shall be deemed to be a change after the Effective Date in a requirement of law or government rule, regulation or order, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented (including for purposes of this Section 2.10).

(c) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.10 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.10 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180-days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that if the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions are retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

The Drawdown Fee shall be paid in cash on the date of each such Withdrawal (it being understood that such Drawdown Fee shall be payable in respect of the gross principal amount of the Loans corresponding to the amount actually withdrawn by the Borrower from the Escrow Account, rather than the net proceeds of the Loans actually received by the Borrower pursuant to the applicable Withdrawal). The Lenders, Commitment Parties and the Credit Parties hereto agree to treat, for federal income tax purposes, (a) the Upfront Fee and the Drawdown Fee as interest and (b) the Put Option Premium as a remuneration to the Commitment Parties for their agreeing to enter into the put option.

If any Taxes are so levied or imposed in connection with any payment made by a Borrower hereunder, the respective Borrower agrees to pay the full amount of such Taxes to the appropriate taxing authority, and shall pay to the relevant person such additional amounts as may be necessary so that such payment, after withholding or deduction for or on account of such Taxes, will not be less than the amount such person would have received absent such withholding or deduction. The respective Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent within 45 days after the date the payment of any Taxes is due pursuant to applicable law certified copies of tax receipts issued by the applicable taxing authority evidencing such payment by such Borrower, or such other evidence satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(b) Each Lender that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) (each, a “Foreign Lender”) for U.S. Federal income tax purposes agrees to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Effective Date (i) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable (with respect to a complete exemption under an income tax treaty) (or successor forms) certifying to such Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments to be made under any Credit Document, (ii) if the Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code and is not delivering forms pursuant to clause (i) above, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-1 (any such certificate, a “Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable (with respect to the portfolio interest exemption) (or successor form) certifying to such Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments of interest to be made under any Credit Document, or (iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender that is not the beneficial owner of payments made under any Credit Document (including a partnership or a participating Lender) (1) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY on behalf of itself and (2) the relevant forms prescribed in clauses (i) above, a Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-2 or Exhibit C-3, as applicable, and any other relevant forms pursuant to FATCA that would be required of each such beneficial owner or partner of such partnership if such beneficial owner or partner were a Lender; provided, however, that if the Lender is a partnership and one or more of its partners are claiming the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, such Lender may provide a Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-4 on behalf of such partners. In addition, if a payment made to a Lender under any Credit 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 Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. If a Lender is not a Foreign Lender, such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax. Furthermore, any recipient that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, any applicable non-United States withholding tax with respect to any payments under any Credit Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without, or at a reduced rate of, such non-United States

withholding. In addition, each Lender agrees that from time to time after the Effective Date, when a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders the previous certification obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, such Lender will deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two new accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E, Form W-8IMY and/or Form W-9, as applicable, and a Tax Compliance Certificate and such other forms as may be required in order to confirm or establish the entitlement of such Lender to a continued exemption from or reduction in United States withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement, or such Lender shall immediately notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its inability to deliver any such Form or Certificate, in which case such Lender shall not be required to deliver any such Form or Certificate pursuant to this Section 5.05(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.05(a), but subject to Section 14.04(a) and (b) and the immediately succeeding sentence, the Borrower shall be entitled, to the extent it is required to do so by law or the administration or official interpretation thereof, to deduct or withhold taxes imposed by any relevant taxing authority from interest, Fees or other amounts payable under any Credit Document to the extent that such Lender has not provided to the Borrower the relevant documentation and certification to establish a complete exemption from such deduction or withholding.

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

Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any other instruments and agreements referred to herein or therein and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably

incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent may perform any of its respective duties hereunder by or through its officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates.

12.02 Nature of Duties. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the other Credit Documents. The Lenders hereby acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall not be under any duty to take any discretionary or optional action permitted to be taken by it pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document unless it shall be instructed in writing to do so by the Required Lenders. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be liable for any action taken or omitted by it or them hereunder or under any other Credit Document or in connection herewith or therewith, unless caused by its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). The duties of the Administrative Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; the Administrative Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement or any other Credit Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender; and nothing in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Administrative Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except as expressly set forth herein or therein.

12.03 Lack of Reliance on the Administrative Agent. Independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, each Lender, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in connection with the making and the continuance of the Loans and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any 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 the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectability, priority or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the financial condition of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or the financial condition of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default.

If the Administrative Agent requests instructions from the Required Lenders with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received instructions from the Required Lenders; and the Administrative Agent shall not incur liability to any Lender by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, neither any Lender nor the holder of any Note shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting

hereunder or under any other Credit Document in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders.

12.05 Reliance. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, radiogram, order or other document or telephone message signed, sent or made by any Person that the Administrative Agent believed to be the proper Person, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and any other Credit Document and its duties hereunder and thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by the Administrative Agent.

12.06 Indemnification. To the extent the Agent or any affiliate thereof or any of their respective Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Indemnified Persons”) is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Borrower, the Lenders will reimburse and indemnify such Agent Indemnified Persons in proportion to their respective percentage of the aggregate outstanding amount of the Loans and Commitments held by all Lenders and their Affiliates on such date (determined as if there were no Defaulting Lenders) for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind or nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by any Agent Indemnified Person in performing its duties hereunder or under any other Credit Document or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Credit Document; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

12.07 Resignation by the Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent may resign from the performance of all its respective functions and duties hereunder and/or under the other Credit Documents at any time by giving 15 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Lenders and, unless a Default or an Event of Default under Section 11.05 then exists, the Borrower. Such resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below or as otherwise provided below.

(b) Upon any such notice of resignation by the Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent hereunder or thereunder who shall be a commercial bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned (provided that the Borrower’s approval shall not be required if an Event of Default then exists).

(c) If a successor Administrative Agent shall not have been so appointed within such 15 Business Day period, the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, provided that the Borrower’s consent shall not be required if an Event of Default then exists), shall then appoint a successor Administrative Agent who shall serve as Administrative Agent hereunder or

thereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

(d) If no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant to clause (b) or (c) above by the 20th Business Day after the date such notice of resignation was given by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective and the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and/or under any other Credit Document until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

(e) Upon a resignation of the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 12.07, the Administrative Agent shall remain indemnified to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the provisions of Section 12.06 and Section 14.01 (and the analogous provisions of the other Credit Documents) shall continue in effect for the benefit of the Administrative Agent for all of its actions and inactions while serving as the Administrative Agent. Upon its acceptance of any appointment as a successor Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents.

12.08 Collateral Matters.

(a) Each Lender authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to enter into the Security Documents for the benefit of the Lenders and the other Secured Creditors. In addition, each Lender, for the benefit of all parties to this Agreement, authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to enter into any amendments to the Security Documents that may be deemed by the Required Lenders to be necessary in connection therewith for the benefit of the Lenders and the Secured Creditors. Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Security Documents, and the exercise by the Required Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. The Collateral Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all of the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time prior to an Event of Default, to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Security Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the security interest in and liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Security Documents.

(b) The Lenders hereby authorize the Collateral Agent, at its option and in its discretion (at the direction of the Required Lenders), to release any Lien granted to or held by the Collateral Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction in full of all of the Obligations (other than indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted) at any time arising under or in respect of this Agreement or the Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) constituting property being sold or otherwise disposed of (to Persons other than the Borrower and its Subsidiaries) upon the sale or other disposition thereof in compliance with Section 10.02, (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders hereunder, to the extent

(c) Anything contained in any of the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower, the Agents and each Secured Creditor hereby agree that in the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent or on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the Collateral Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders) or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition, and the Collateral Agent, as agent for, and representative of, the Secured Creditors (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled (at the direction of the Required Lender), for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale or other disposition.

(b) Each Guarantor and each Secured Creditor (by its acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement) hereby confirms that it is its intention that the guaranty made by the Guarantors not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of the Bankruptcy Code, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or any similar Federal or state law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, each Guarantor and each Secured Creditor (by its acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement) hereby irrevocably agrees that the Obligations guaranteed by such

Neither the Administrative agent nor any other Secured Creditor shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for any of the Obligations or for the guaranty contained in this Section 13 or any property subject thereto, except to the extent required by applicable law.

13.03 Guaranty Absolute and Unconditional.

therein, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guaranty contained in this Section 13; and all dealings between the Borrowers and any of the other Credit Parties, on the one hand, and the Administrative agent and the other Secured Creditors, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guaranty contained in this Section 13. Except as expressly required under the Final DIP Order, each Guarantor waives, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon any of the Borrower or any of the other Credit Parties with respect to any of the Obligations. Each Guarantor understands and agrees, to the extent permitted by law, that the guaranty contained in this Section 13 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guaranty of payment and not of collection. Each Guarantor hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any and all defenses that it may have arising out of or in connection with any and all of the following: (a) the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, any of the Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guaranty or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Administrative agent or any other Secured Creditor, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) that may at any time be available to or be asserted by any Borrower against the Administrative agent or any other Secured Creditor, (c) any change in the time, place, manner or place of payment or any amendment, waiver or increase in any of the Obligations in accordance with the terms of the documentation evidencing the same, (d) any exchange, taking, or release of Collateral, (e) any change in the structure or existence of any of the Borrower or any of the other Credit Parties (except as provided in, or permitted by, this Agreement), (f) any application of Collateral to any of the Obligations, (g) any law, regulation or order of any jurisdiction, or any other event, affecting any term of any Obligation or the rights of the Administrative agent or any other Secured Creditor with respect thereto, including, without limitation: (i) the application of any such law, regulation, decree or order, including any prior approval, which would prevent the exchange of any currency (other than Dollars) for Dollars or the remittance of funds outside of such jurisdiction or the unavailability of Dollars in any legal exchange market in such jurisdiction in accordance with normal commercial practice, (ii) a declaration of banking moratorium or any suspension of payments by banks in such jurisdiction or the imposition by such jurisdiction or any Governmental Authority thereof of any moratorium on, the required rescheduling or restructuring of, or required approval of payments on, any indebtedness in such jurisdiction, (iii) any expropriation, confiscation, nationalization or requisition by such country or any Governmental Authority that directly or indirectly deprives the Borrower or any other Credit Party of any assets or their use, or of the ability to operate its business or a material part thereof, or (iv) any war (whether or not declared), insurrection, revolution, hostile act, civil strife or similar events occurring in such jurisdiction which has the same effect as the events described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above (in each of the cases contemplated in clauses (i) through (iv) above, to the extent occurring or existing on or at any time after the date of this Agreement), or (h) any other circumstance whatsoever (other than payment in full in cash of the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) guaranteed by it hereunder) (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Borrower or any other Credit Party) that constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Borrower or any other Credit Party for its Obligations, or of such Guarantor under the guaranty contained in this Section 13, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making any demand

hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Creditor may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guaranty for the Obligations guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Creditor to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guaranty or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guaranty or right of offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Creditor against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

13.04 Reinstatement. The Guaranty of any Guarantor contained in this Section 13 shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Obligations guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Creditor upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any other Credit Party, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any other Credit Party or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

13.05 Payments. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that payments hereunder will be paid to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, without set-off, counterclaim or other defense and on the same basis as payments are made by the Borrowers under Sections 5.03 and 5.04 of this Agreement.

13.06 Information. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrower’s and each other Credit Party’s and their Subsidiaries’ financial condition and assets and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder and agrees that none of the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Creditors will have any duty to advise such Guarantor of information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks.

13.07 Indemnity and Subrogation. In addition to all rights of indemnity and subrogation as the Guarantors may have under applicable law (subject to Section 13.09), the Borrower agrees that (a) in the event a payment of any Obligation shall be made by any Guarantor under this Agreement, the Borrower shall indemnify such Guarantor for the full amount of such payment and such Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the Person to whom such payment shall have been made to the extent of such payment and (b) in the event any assets of any Guarantor shall be sold pursuant to this Agreement or any other Credit Document to satisfy in whole or in part any Obligation owed to any Secured Creditor, the Borrower shall indemnify such Guarantor in an amount equal to the fair value of the assets so sold.

13.08 Contribution and Subrogation. Each Guarantor agrees (subject to Section 13.09) that, to the extent that a Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share (based, to the maximum extent permitted by law, on the respective Adjusted Net Worth of the Guarantors on the date the respective payment is made) of any payment made hereunder, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder that has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Each Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 13.09. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, any Guarantor that is released from this Agreement (and its guarantees contained herein) in accordance with the express provisions of Section 14.11 shall thereafter have no contribution obligations, or rights, pursuant to this Section 13.08, and at the time of any such release, the contribution rights and obligations of the remaining Guarantors shall be recalculated on the respective date of release (as otherwise provided herein) based on the payments made hereunder by the remaining Guarantors. The provisions of this Section 13.08 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Creditors, and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Creditors for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.

13.09 Subordination. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, all rights of the Guarantors under Sections 13.07 and 13.08 and all other rights of indemnity, contribution or subrogation under applicable law or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations, and no Credit Party shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Creditor against the Borrower or any other Credit Party or any collateral security or guaranty or right of offset held by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Creditor for the payment of any of the Obligations, nor shall any Credit Party seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Borrower or any other Credit Party in respect of payments made by such Credit Party hereunder (or paid with proceeds of collateral of such Credit Party hereunder), until all amounts owing to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Creditors on account of the Obligations are paid in full in cash and the Total Commitment has been terminated. If any amount shall be paid to any Credit Party on account of such contribution or subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full in cash or any of the Commitments shall remain in effect, such amount shall be held by such Credit Party in trust for the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Creditors, segregated from other funds of such Credit Party, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Credit Party, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by such Credit Party (duly indorsed by such Credit Party to the Administrative Agent, if required), to be held as collateral security for all of the Obligations (whether matured or unmatured) of, or guaranteed by, such Credit Party and/or then or at any time thereafter may be applied against any Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Administrative Agent may determine.

SECTION 14 Miscellaneous.

14.01 Payment of Expenses; Indemnifications etc.

(a) Each Credit Party hereby agrees, whether or not the transactions herein contemplated are consummated, to pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the

Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Commitment Parties (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of outside counsel, special counsel, financial advisor and other advisors or consultants retained by each of the Agent and the Commitment Parties) (but excluding the fees and expenses of any outside counsel or financial advisor retained by any individual Commitment Party) incurred on, prior to or after the Effective Date, in connection with (x) the Chapter 11 Cases or any other insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings of the Debtors, the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the documents and instruments referred to herein and therein and (y) the enforcement of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the documents and instruments referred to herein and therein or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements or any “work-out”, and (ii) any fees of the Administrative Agent charged in connection with any “seasoning” of the Facility. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall (i) the Agent and (ii) the Lenders, in each case, be entitled to the reimbursement of costs and expenses of more than one primary counsel, one local Alabama counsel and other special counsel and advisors, as needed.

(b) Each Credit Party shall pay and hold the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Commitment Parties and each of the Lenders harmless from and against any and all present and future stamp, excise and other similar documentary taxes with respect to the foregoing matters and save the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each of the Lenders harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay or omission (other than to the extent attributable to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such Lender, as applicable, as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision)) to pay such taxes.

(c) Each Credit Party shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Commitment Party, each Lender, each Prepetition First Lien Secured Party and each of their respective Related Parties (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all liabilities, obligations (including removal or remedial actions), losses, damages (including, without limitation, consequential damages), penalties, claims, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including documented fees, disbursements and other charges of one primary counsel and one local counsel for each relevant jurisdiction to such Indemnified Persons (subject to the last sentence of clause (a) above) (unless there is an actual or perceived conflict of interest or the availability of different claims or defenses in which case each such Person may retain its own counsel)) incurred by, imposed on or assessed against any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to, or by reason of, (a) any investigation, litigation or other proceeding (whether or not such Indemnified Person is a party thereto and whether or not such investigation, litigation or other proceeding is brought by or on behalf of any Credit Party) related to the entering into and/or performance of this Agreement, any other Credit Document, the Final DIP Order or the proceeds of any Loans hereunder or the consummation of the Transaction or any other transactions contemplated herein or in any other Credit Document or the exercise of any of their rights or remedies provided herein or in the other Credit Documents, or (b) the actual or alleged presence of Hazardous Materials in the air, surface water or groundwater or on the surface or subsurface of any Real Property at any time owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, the generation, storage, transportation, handling or disposal of Hazardous Materials by the Borrower

or any of its Subsidiaries at any location, whether or not owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, the non-compliance by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries with any Environmental Law (including applicable permits thereunder), or any Environmental Claim asserted against the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any Real Property at any time owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, provided that no Credit Party shall have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Person with respect to indemnified liabilities to the extent it has been determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or material breach of the obligations under this Agreement by, such Indemnified Person. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay or hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any other Indemnified Person set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Borrower shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the indemnified liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.

(d) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Credit Party shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnified Person, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential, punitive or incidental damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(e) No Indemnified Person shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent the liability of such Indemnified Person results solely from such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).

(f) All amounts due under this Section 14.01 shall be payable to the Administrative Agent for its own benefit or for the benefit of the Lenders or the other Indemnified Persons, as applicable, not later than five (5) Business Days after demand therefor.

14.02 Right of Setoff. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, but subject to any notice provisions in the Final DIP Order, each Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders) and each Lender is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to any Credit Party or to any other Person, but subject to any notice provisions in the Final DIP Order, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provision or final) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Agent or such Lender (including, without limitation, by branches and agencies of such Agent or such Lender wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries against and on account of the Obligations and liabilities of the Credit Parties to such Agent or such Lender under this Agreement or under any of the other Credit Documents, including, without limitation,

all interests in Obligations purchased by such Lender pursuant to Section 14.04(b), and all other claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, irrespective of whether or not such Agent or such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder and although said Obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured. The rights of each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section 14.02 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such set-off and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

14.03 Notices.

(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including telecopier or other electronic cable communication) and mailed, telecopied or electronic transmission or delivered: if to any Credit Party, at Walter Energy, Inc. 3000 Riverchase Galleria, Suite 1700, Birmingham, Alabama 35244 (Attn: Earl H.

Each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

14.04 Benefit of Agreement; Assignments; Participations.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, that no Credit Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of

its rights, obligations or interest hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders) and the Lenders and, provided further, that, although any Lender may, without consent or notice, grant participations to Eligible Transferees in its rights hereunder, such Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder (and may not transfer or assign all or any portion of its Commitments hereunder except as provided in Sections 2.13 and 13.04) and the participant shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder and, provided further, that no Lender shall transfer or grant any participation under which the participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof (it being understood that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement or to Section 14.07(a) shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or Fees payable hereunder), or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or a mandatory prepayment of the Loans shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Commitment (or the available portion thereof) or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Credit Party of any of its respective rights and obligations under this Agreement or (iii) release all or substantially all of (x) the Collateral under all the Security Documents (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents or the Sale Motion) or (y) the Guaranty under this Agreement supporting the Loans in which such participant is participating. In the case of any such participation, the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (the participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation. To the extent that a participation would at the time of participation directly cause increased costs under Section 5.05 from those being charged by the respective Lender prior to such participation, then the Borrower shall not be obliged to pay such increased costs.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender (or any Lender together with one or more other Lenders) may (x) assign all or a portion of its Commitments and related outstanding Obligations hereunder to any existing Lender or Affiliate of a Lender or Approved Fund, provided, that no such assignment may be made to any such Person that is, or would at such time constitute, a Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries or (y) assign all, or if less than all, a portion equal to at least $100,000 in the aggregate for the assigning Lender or assigning Lenders, of such Commitments and related outstanding Obligations hereunder to one or more Eligible Transferees, each of which assignees shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement (it being understood that assignments may be done on a non-pro-rata basis between Loans and unfunded Commitments), provided that (i) at such time, Schedule 1.01(a) shall be deemed modified to reflect the Commitments and/or outstanding Loans, as the case may be, of such new Lender and of the existing Lenders, (ii) upon the surrender of the relevant Notes (if any) by the assigning Lender, new Notes will be issued, at the Borrower’s sole expense, to such new Lender and to the

assigning Lender upon the request of such new Lender or assigning Lender, such new Notes to be in conformity with the requirements of Section 2.05 (with appropriate modifications) to the extent needed to reflect the revised Commitments and/or outstanding Loans, as the case may be, (iii) the consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required in connection with any such assignment pursuant to clause (y) above (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); and (iv) the Administrative Agent shall receive at the time of each such assignment, from the assigning or assignee Lender, the payment of a non-refundable assignment fee of $3,500 (provided that only one such fee shall be payable in the case of one or more concurrent assignments by or to investment funds managed or advised by the same investment advisor or an affiliated investment advisor). To the extent of any assignment pursuant to this Section 14.04(b), the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Commitments and outstanding Loans. At the time of each assignment pursuant to this Section 14.04(b) to a Person which is not already a Lender hereunder, the respective assignee Lender shall, to the extent legally entitled to do so, provide to the Borrower the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms (and, if applicable, a Tax Compliance Certificate) and such other documentation described in Section 5.05(b). To the extent that an assignment of all or any portion of a Lender’s Commitments and related outstanding Obligations pursuant to this Section 14.04(b) would, at the time of such assignment, result in increased costs under Section 5.05 from those being charged by the respective assigning Lender prior to such assignment, then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrower, in accordance with and pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement, shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective assignment). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no assignment shall be made by any Lender to the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, or to a natural person.

(c) Register. Each Credit Party hereby designates the Administrative Agent to serve as its agent, solely for purposes of this Section 14.04, to maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it will record the Loans made by each of the Lenders and each repayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans of each Lender. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Credit Party’s obligations in respect of such Loans, except under Section 5.05(a). With respect to any Lender, the transfer of the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent with respect to ownership of such Loans and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Loans shall remain owing to the transferor. The registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of any Loans shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register upon and only upon the acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment and Assumption Agreement pursuant to Section 14.04(b). The Administrative Agent shall allow the Borrower or any Lender to inspect the Register at any time upon reasonable prior notice to the extent such inspection is reasonably determined by the Borrower or any Lender to be necessary to establish the relevant Loans or other obligations are in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations. Without duplication with Section 14.01, each Credit Party agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities of whatsoever nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent in performing its duties under this Section 14.04(c).

Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register shall be treated as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. No Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of any Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Loans or its other obligations under any Credit Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Loan is in registered from under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations.

(d) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Lender from pledging its Loans hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank or central bank, any Lender which is a fund may pledge all or any portion of its Loans to its trustee or to a collateral agent providing credit or credit support to such Lender in support of its obligations to such trustee, such collateral agent or a holder of such obligations, as the case may be. No pledge pursuant to this clause (d) shall release the transferor Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.

(e) Any Lender which assigns all of its Commitments and/or Loans hereunder in accordance with Section 14.04(b) shall cease to constitute a “Lender” hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 5.05, 12.06, 14.01 and 14.06), which shall survive as to such assigning Lender.

14.05 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of dealing between the Borrower or any other Credit Party and the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights, powers and remedies herein or in any other Credit Document expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies which the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

14.06 Payments Pro Rata.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent agrees that promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf of the Credit Parties in respect of any Obligations hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Lenders entitled thereto (other than any Lender that has consented in writing to

waive its pro rata share of any such payment) pro rata based upon their respective shares, if any, of the Obligations with respect to which such payment was received.

(b) Each of the Lenders agrees that, if it should receive any amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents, or otherwise), which is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Loans, of a sum which with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of such Obligation then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such Obligation then owed and due to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the Obligations of the respective Credit Party to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all the Lenders in such amount; provided that (i) if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lenders, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph (b) shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations pursuant to Section 14.04.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of the preceding Sections 13.06(a) and (b) shall be subject to the express provisions of this Agreement which require, or permit, differing payments to be made to Non-Defaulting Lenders as opposed to Defaulting Lenders.

14.07 Calculations; Computations.

(a) The financial statements to be furnished to the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be made and prepared in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied throughout the periods involved (except as set forth in the notes thereto or as otherwise disclosed in writing by the Borrower to the Lenders); provided that, (i) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all such financial statements shall be prepared, and all financial covenants contained herein or in any other Credit Document shall be calculated, in each case, without giving effect to any election under FASB ASC 825 (or any similar accounting principle) permitting a Person to value its financial liabilities at the fair value thereof and (ii) to the extent expressly provided herein, certain calculations shall be made on a pro forma basis.

(b) All computations of interest and other Fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days.

14.08 GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; VENUE; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

(a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE

GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, EXCEPT AS GOVERNED BY THE BANKRUPTCY CODE.

(b) EACH CREDIT PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT COMMENCE ANY ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR DESCRIPTION, WHETHER IN LAW OR EQUITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT OR OTHERWISE, AGAINST ANY AGENT, ANY LENDER OR ANY RELATED PARTY OF THE FOREGOING IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATING HERETO OR THERETO, IN ANY FORUM OTHER THAN THE BANKRUPTCY COURT. EACH CREDIT PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE BANKRUPTCY COURT. EACH CREDIT PARTY HEREBY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT THE BANKRUPTCY COURT LACK PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER SUCH CREDIT PARTY, AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM, IN ANY LEGAL ACTION PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT BROUGHT IN THE BANKRUPTCY COURT, THAT SUCH COURTS LACK PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER SUCH CREDIT PARTY. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT ANY AGENT OR ANY LENDER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THE COLLATERAL AGAINST ANY CREDIT PARTY OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.

(c) EACH CREDIT PARTY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OUT OF THE BANKRUPTCY COURT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OF COPIES THEREOF IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 14.03. EACH CREDIT PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION TO SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS AND FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS WAS IN ANY WAY INVALID OR INEFFECTIVE. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY AGENT OR ANY LENDER TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST ANY CREDIT PARTY IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

(d) EACH CREDIT PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF THE BANKRUPTCY COURT OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT BROUGHT IN THE BANKRUPTCY COURT REFERRED TO IN CLAUSE (A) ABOVE AND HEREBY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN SUCH COURT THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

(e) EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).

Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by each Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by any Agent or any Lender on their behalf and notwithstanding that any Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Loan, and shall continue to in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.

14.13 Domicile of Loans. Each Lender may transfer and carry its Loans at, to or for the account of any office, Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that a transfer of Loans pursuant to this Section 14.13 would, at the time of such transfer, result in increased costs under Section 5.05 from those being charged by the respective Lender prior to such transfer, then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrower shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective transfer).

14.14 [Reserved].

14.15 Confidentiality.

(a) Subject to the provisions of clause (b) of this Section 14.15, each Lender agrees that it will use its reasonable efforts not to disclose without the prior consent of the Borrower (other than to its employees, auditors, advisors or counsel or to another Lender if such Lender or such Lender’s holding or parent company in its sole discretion determines that any such party should have access to such information, provided such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 14.15 to the same extent as such Lender) any information with respect to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries which is now or in the future furnished pursuant to this Agreement or any other Credit Document, provided that any Lender may disclose any such information (i) as has become generally available to the public other than by virtue of a breach of this Section 14.15(a) by the respective Lender, (ii) as may be required or appropriate in any

report, statement or testimony submitted to any municipal, state or Federal regulatory body or self-regulatory body having or claiming to have jurisdiction over such Lender or to the Federal Reserve Board or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or similar organizations (whether in the United States or elsewhere) or their successors or in connection with pledges or assignments in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank or central bank permitted under Section 14.04(d), (iii) as may be required or appropriate in respect to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, (iv) in order to comply with any law, order, regulation or ruling applicable to such Lender, (v) to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, (vi) to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in any swap, hedge or similar agreement (or to any such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor), so long as such contractual counterparty (or such professional advisor) agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 14.15 and (vii) to any prospective or actual transferee or participant in connection with any contemplated transfer or participation of any Loan or interest therein by such Lender, provided that such prospective transferee agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions contained in this Section 14.15.

(b) Each Credit Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that each Lender may share with any of its Affiliates, and such Affiliates may share with such Lender, any information related to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, any non-public customer information regarding the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries), provided such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 14.15 to the same extent as such Lender.

14.16 Patriot Act. Each Lender subject to the USA PATRIOT Improvement and Reauthorization Act, Pub. L. 109-177 (signed into law March 9, 2009) (as amended from time to time, the “Act”) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Credit Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Credit Party in accordance with the Act. The Borrower shall, promptly following a reasonable request by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative or such Lender reasonably requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Act.

14.17 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Credit Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Credit Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”). If any Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by an Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

14.18 Waiver of Immunities. If any Credit Party has or hereafter may acquire any immunity (sovereign or otherwise) from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from jurisdiction of any court or from set-off or any legal process (whether service or notice, attachment prior to judgment attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) with respect to itself or any of its property, such Credit Party hereby (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim such immunity in respect of its obligation under this Agreement and each other Credit Documents. Each Credit Party agrees that the foregoing waivers shall be effective to the fullest extent permitted under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 of the United States of America, as amended from time to time, and are intended to be irrevocable and not subject to withdrawal for purposes of such Act.

14.19 No Advisory or No Fiduciary Duty. Each Agent, the Lenders and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this Section 14.19, the “Lender Parties”) may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Credit Parties, their respective stockholders and/or their respective Affiliates. Each Credit Party agrees that nothing in this Agreement or other Credit Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender Party, on the one hand, and any Credit Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates, on the other. Each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that (i) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Credit Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lender Parties, on the one hand, and any Credit Party, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender Parties have assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Credit Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender Parties have advised, are currently advising or will advise any Credit Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to the Credit Parties except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement and other Credit Documents and (y) each Lender Party is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of any Credit Party, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person. Each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. Each Credit Party agrees that it will not claim that any Lender Party has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to any Credit Party, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

14.20 Required Lender Instructions. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for purposes of any notice, instruction or direction required or requested from the Required Lenders in this Agreement (including, but not limited to, the letter of direction set forth in Section 7.09), any written notice, instruction or direction (including, without limitation, any notice, instruction or direction delivered by email) from Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP, as counsel to the Commitment Parties, shall be deemed a notice, instruction or direction delivered by the Required Lenders, as applicable.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused their duly authorized officers to execute and deliver this Agreement as of the date first above written.
